BLIZZARD ANNIVERSARY.
Memorable Storm Of Thirty Years Ago
Recalled

One Of the most destructive blizzards
that ever swept the Atlantic coast occurred
thirty years ago yesterday. Beginning
with IA gentle rain early in the day by md
night the storm had most ehectually
put n stop TO telegraph and telephone
service and stopped all railroad traffic.
IL was the greatest storm Of the sort ever
noted in this locality and for three days
only one train got from here 30 Phlladel-
pbia Some people were held up IN
trains between Wilmington and Philadel-
phia for twcnty-four hours.
The streets here were blockadcd and
the roads were impossible. The same
condition existed all the way to Boston
and the people Of Philadelphia, New York !,
and Boston suffered greatly. The news
paper telegraph service was very light
and messages were sent two thousand
miles to cover n distance Of one or two
hundred miles.
Many residents Of this city remember
the blizzard of 1888 and the anniversary
day never comes without them recalling
that memorable storm. During the biz
zard which really started on Sunday,
but became fully effective on Monday

PRESS COMMENT
JAPAN'S REAL CHANCE.

Japanese intervention in Siberia has
not come asNswiftly as at first seemed
probable. and il il does take place 1t
will hardly have the wide scope that was
at first predicted. The results of the
international conversations which have
taken place regarding the matter have not
been made known definitely, nor has
there been any authoritative announce
ment of the attitude assumed by this
government. IL seems likely, however,
that the United States made known that
in its opinion occupation Of siberian
territory on grand scale was not advisable
Presumably this has been done IN such
way as to avoid giving otfense To japan
II seems likely that. mainly, as n result
of the attitude assumed and the argu-
mcnt advanced by this government, any
action which Japan may take in Siberia
will be limited, for the present at least,
to measures necessary to protect the
military stores.
There arc many rcasonns Tor believing
in the soundncSs Of the course which
has apparently been followed 10y the
United States Occupation by the Jap
ancsc Of large areas Of Siberian territory
might well have had n most unfortunate
effect upon the sentiment of the Russian
people. 1t would certainly have had an
unfortunate effect in America and prob
ably in Great Britain. Charleston News

PROPER FEEDING OF CHILDREN

experience in the war has TO do with
the proper feeding Of children. Study
Of data gathered in connection with the

prepared eaten under conditions that
