r LIKE NIGHT IN CHICAGO.
Darkness Has Envcioped the City for
Two Days.

Chicago, Feb. THE darkness OF
night has cnvcloped Chicago since the
sunset Thursday evening. At noon yestnr-
day tho loop district was practically as
black as last midnight, the suns efforts
to pierce tho heavy veil of smoke which
hung over the city being unavnIling.
The Weather Bureau explained that
while there is no fog in this district the
barometric pressure was SO heavy that the
smoke did not rise u its accustomed height
as quickly ns IL should and in the total calm
that obtained, the smoke curtain hung
over the city.
Automobiles and street care, like office
buildings aud homes, had to keep all
lights burning, though the street lights
were turned off at the regular hour in The
morning. Az a result pedestrians werc
scarcely visible nt distance.
Weather observers said the day WIS
the darkest within their memory, and
while Chicago had had smoky periods,
never before has the blackness been
known 10 continue through the entire day.

Woodrow Wilson, called by Editor
Robert w. Davis of the Gainesville
Sun, Americas greatest achieve
ment,' has been more bitterly vilified,
traduced, slandered and his character
DETAINED by greater number of hat
ing, envious liars than any President
of the United States ever had. His
political enemies have left no stone
unturned in their assaults upon his
good name. They have even sent
spies to the White House during his
present illness in search of new NOR
sci of scandal upon which to build
frameworks of ugly rumors, suspicion
and black abuse. Senator Fletcher,
who spent the Christmas holiday re-
cess of Congress in Florida, stated to
dents sick chamber and talked with
him; that he had no paralysis and no
mental or incurable ailment, that he
has simply suffered a nervous break.

strain of six years fthe most difficult

breakdown Mr.. Wilson's already over
taxed constitution.
On December 18th, the Sunday after
Christmas, the President was sixty
