STRANGE LADY IN BLACK
BY LAURA L. HlNKLEY.

The boy was trudging home from
ing down the river road. All in black
from head to foot, her figure moved
against the red sunset sky, tall and
slender and very graceful, walking
elastically as if upborne by vigor and
youth. The boy noted curiously the
heavy black veil drawn across her
face. He was about to cross the in
tersection of their ways when she lift
cd her hand and beckoned him.
Bashfully, shifting the pole on his
shoulder, the boy approached. He
and she were all the human life in
the landscape except the darkening
village roofs and chimneys beyond the
turn.
You know where all the people
live in town. don't you, dear?" she
asked, throwing back her veil. +
Her voice was sweet and seductive;
her face beautiful beyond all the lad
experience. -.-

She laughed with a fash Of sweet

MANTLE OF SNOW
 COVERS CALIFORNIA
Storm Passes on to the South But Weather FOrecaster Pre-.
 diets Another.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 9.-A heavy snow storm which was gener- al throughout northern and central California, visited San Francisco and the bay cities today. While the fall in San Francisco was comparatively light the surrounding country was not so fortunate.
 The hills east of Oakland, Berkley and Alameda, were a heavy white blanket throughout the day and in Sausalito a fall of five inches was recorded. The storm was heavy out on the ocean and ships that came in the day wore thick white mantles. The lowest temperature recorded in San Francisco was 3S above zero.
 Today's storm is the eleventh vis- itation of snow in San Francisco dur ing the past B years.
 According to the officiSa forecaster the present storm has, passed to the southward but another is following it from the north and Is due to reach San Francisco during the night. Still another cold wave. an importation from the pole, is on the way and will reach here. within the next few days.

Waters Rise to 3l.3 Feet at Junction of River and
 Starts Falling.
50,00o MEN ARE IDLE
Many Plants tI0sf Down. Property Damage Runs into Millions and
 Much Suffering Reported.

Pittsburg Pa. Jan 9.-Thc fourth greatest flood in 'ittsburg in the last forty seen years was recorded when a crest of thirty-one and three-tenths the Monongehela and Allegheny rivers early today. The water remained stationary for two hours, then began to fall slowly and had dropped to 29 12 feet at 6 o'clock this evening.
 The water reached Pennsylvania avenue and Federal street in the downtown section of Pittsburgh and temporarily shut off business below that point, inundating hundreds of homes in the lower sections of the city, flooded many or the mills lining the river banks, made idle approxi- mately 50,0OO men through many fac- tories shutting down and caused great loss through property damage.
 Stories of privation and suffering come from both up and down the riv- CT, where thousands of homes have been flooded and relief is being sent from every quarter Failure of the temperature to drop to the cold point, as expected, did much to alleviate suffering in the many homes in which families were compelled to seek the upper rooms without fire.
 a0nsytf tfifeffse sepI sssaser floods have. oc- cured in Pittsburg within the past 47 years and in the 107 years that re- cords have been kept there are only ten more serious inundations.

They have to do with the issuance of stock and the forma,i2n of holl.ng con!3anies.

G. 0. P. Organization in Senate Will Try to Defeat Annual Sup

Washington, Jan. 9.-Senators Crane. Shoot, Townsend and Bradley representing the Republican organiza- ton in the Senate, have arranged to deadlock essential legislation during the remainder of this session unless the Democrats approve large share of the 1,2OO odd appointments Tart has sent in since the election. Re- mblican representatives are a party to this scheme with the exception O: Poindexter, Dixon, LaFollette ana Works. who have not yet announced that they will join such blockade of the public business. All he@other Progressives being interested in pat ronage now before the senate VIII act with the regulars, to thu extent, al least of testing the sincerity Of the Democrats i'm their declaration that the nominations now pending snail not be confirmed.
 
 to cause the annual supply measures to fail if they can place the blame for such neglect of the public business upon the Democrats. Senator Smoo' areues to his colleagues that If the Democrats in extra session are re- n,,ired to consider and pass all the appropriation bill they will be two months late getting at Tariff revls- ion. This, Shoot and Crane say, will he water on the Republican political wheels, on the theory that the longer tariff revision can be postponed to- wards the next election the better Il will be for Republicans. The Repuo- licans also will have the active sup bort of three or four reactionary Dem ocrats, whose terms expire with the close of the session. 's- '''' SAooS VI # ,st,st . .ftqvt tft g ,, [

 Deal is On.

1ittle Rock, Ark, Jan. 9.-As a re-
 .,,t If the clever maneuvering or the ,oa n Robinson forces in the contest ,or inc presidency of the state senate 1 tonight, Senator A. c. Martin, of Con- way, Faulkner county, candidate for ,hat honor, announced his withdrawal
 f,om inc race and his action was auickly followed by Senator T. J. paIney.- of Newark, Independence E county. Their retirement resulted in inc only remaining candidate, w. K. oldham. representing Lonoke and Aprairie counties, being unanimously
 4eected' president of the senate
 State senators swarmed into his fheadquarters and speechmaking, indi- eating much good feeling, resulted.
 It was evident that the marshalling of forces for Oldham was the first successful move to~ards the election ] of Governor-elect Joe T. Robinson to the United States senate. It is gen. erall conceded here tonight that Gov ernor-elect Robinson will receive practically the unanimous vote of the upper branch of the Legislature.
 In the contest for speaker of the House, Representative s. A. Miller, oi Jefferson county, looms up stronger | tonight than at any previous time His election is made possible by the .Skreats Of the Miller forces to switch
 to Joe Hardage for speaker if Carroll Armstrong is not withdrawn from the
 race. MT. Armstrong is said to be the candidate of the Robinson forces and t is claimed that he has a safe ma jority, but tha latest move on the
 part of the Miller supporters would indicate that some deal might be made Whereby Miller could be chosen. It is figured that the Robinson forces night yet center on Miller and should Armstrong withdraw it would mean Alllers election to the speakership.

 January 2!st.

It is clear that you must have found your tan- 1 didacy 90 unpopular with the mem [ bers of the legislature as to ascertain that your election by them is imprcb able.''
 This is the way Governor-elect Joe T. Robinson, twho has announced that 1 his name w Il go before the legsla- 1 ture as a candidate fo: the long term in the United States Senate, today replied to Stephen Brundilge, also an avowed candidate for the office made vacant by Senator Jeff Davis death, when he called upon Mir.

 "Ycur suggestion is of course lm- . practical because the law governing i the election of United States sena- tor requlfes that the selection be held by the legislature on the sec ond Tuesday after the meeting and organization thereof. Thus it IS clear that under the law the legisla- ture must proceed to elect senator on the 21st of the present month. or course, no primary election can be called and no campaign can be con- ducted before that time.
