BY HOWLING GALE Wind Acted as Queerly as It Does About Flatiron Building, New York. WESTCOTT A BREEZY PLACE ON TENTH STREET SIDE OF HOTEL ALL SNOW WAS PICKED UP AND CAST AGAINST THE GRACE CHURCH.

Many were the pranks played with the snow by the wind yesterday. The celebrated stories told about the freaks of the wind as it blows about the famous Flatiron building of New York City do not excel in point of eccentricity those that might be related of the breeze that gathered the flakes from the streets of Richmond and whisked them about. Westcott Corner Gale. One of the most noticeable examples was to be found along the North Tenth street side of the Westcott ho tel. The corner of Tenth and Main streets is known as one of the windiest in the city. What is but a gentle spring-like zephyr in other sections of the city moves with the speed of a gale at this corner. Yesterday afternoon the wind swept bare of evry vestige of snow the sidewalks adjacent to the hotel building, the entire roadway and the sidewalk on the west side of the street, as far north as the first alley. About in front of "Wilson. & Pohlmeyer's establishment the beginning of the accumulated snow was to be found and at the Grace church corner it was piled in a drift a foot in depth. The winds kept forcing the drift back northward off of Main street and a counter current dispersed it when it extended beyond the church. Pedestrians encountered a serious inconvenience, when trying to flounder through. Court House Windy. Another unusual formation was to be found at the court house. The west side of the court bouse block was as free from snow as if none had fallen. About the south and north ides of the large building the lawn was swept bare. The wind seemed o have a circular sweep and the snow was piled high in front of the east entrance. Try as hard as it could, the wind could not reach the snow here and the drifts were more than two feet deep. The janitors were kept busy in the effort to keep a path and almost as soon as one was made, it was obliterated. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING. A man down in Charlotte, N. C, made a bet that "WHIZ" wouldn't take Printers' Ink or Paint off the hands mnd leave the hands soft and smooth. He rubbed Printers' Ink over one hand and Axle Grease over the other, but "WHIZ" took it off in a jiffy. He lost the bet. If you're betting to win bet on "WHIZ." Get a can of your grocer and try it. In Japan on the empress' birthday all the schoolgirls have to sing the national hymu ami listen to an Imperial rescript on education.

The greatest duel of modern days in Italy was that between the Count of Turin and Prince Henry of Orleans. It came about in a curious manner. Prince Henry had insulted the Italian army after the battle of Adowa and one day received a telegraphic challenge to a duel signed "Victor Emmanuel." The challenge was accept'ed. and thus Crispi. who was prime minister, came to know of the crown prince's Impulsive action and interfered. "But," said King Humbert, his father, "how can it be stopped? Our honor is now Involved." Crispi thought a moment and then exclaimed: "I have it! The Count of Turin is Victor Emmanuel also!" And thus he was the one who fought. This was followed by one of those genial practical jokes which convulsed Europe. France at that time hated Italy and never lost a if opportunity to sneer at her. It must be explained that in Rome there was always at carnival time a characteristic figure of a little old man with an immense sword riding a donkey, who was a caricature of the age of chivalry and was called "General Mannaggia la Rocca." One day in the French papers appeared an imposing announcement that General Mannaggia la Rocca threw hla glove at the feet of the entire French nation and cast their base insinuations In their teeth, inviting any or all to mortal fight. Replies were not long in coming, one of which was from a noted fencer and duelist of his day, M. Tomegueux, appointing his seconds and announcing their arrival in Rome. France was on the qnivive. from government personages to the humble bargee, and when the trick played upon them was discovered all Europe shrieked with laughter, and France the loudest of all.

Twentieth & South B streets, Rich mond, Ind., says: "The statement gave for publication in 1906 endorsing Doan's Kidney Pills told of my experience with this remedy and at this time I am glad to confirm what I then said. I had been bothered by kidney trouble off and on for at least fifteen years and whenever I caught cold my back became so lame and painful that I could hardly get around. At times the flow of the kidney secretions was profuse, then again scant and distressing. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. G.

Of 170,000 Anthracite Workers, Only 31 ,000 Are in The Organization. NO TROUBLE FOR SIX YEARS UNION LEADERS RECENTLY CIDED ON CUT-RATE DUES INDUCE MEN TO RETURN THE MINERS' UNION. DETO TO Indianapolis, Feb. 1. With the expiration of the agreement between the anthracite mine workers and operators only a few weeks off, the condition of the miners union in the anthracite region in now a subject of interest to both the men and their employers. President Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America, in his address before the convention at Indianapolis, has supplied figures showing the numerical strength of his organization. In the three anthracite districts of Pennsylvania, says Mr. Lewis, the roll of the union for 10OS contains names of 30,851 mine workers. As the total number of mine workers in these districts is 17O.000 or thereabouts, the union membership represents only about IS per cent of the whole. In one of the three districts, according to Mr. Lewis report, there are only 4,517 union members. Free From Trouble. The agreement between the operators and miners following the strike of and the renewal of the agreement in 190G, have kept the anthracite region unusually free from trouble for six years, with the result that the men have felt no need of organization. The conciliation board established by the strike commission tf 11)02 has been on hand to adjust any grievance presented by a mine worker. When they settled down to work after the "suspension" of 1900, the men began to be dropped from the union rolls for non-payment of dues. Recently the leaders declared a ,cut-rate Initiation fee, in order to bring the men back into the fold. t The new demands drafted by a un ion committee for presentation to the operators, call for the abojition of the conciliation board and for the collec tion of union dues through a system of deduction from wages. The labor leaders also demand that whatever agreement is made shall extend only one year instead of three years. HOLLAND HOUSE. One of England's Picturesque and His toric Mansions. Few mansions in or near London are more picturesque in their surroundings or more Interesting from their associations with the past than Holland House. The domain in which it stands is a perfect rus in urbe a green oaals in a wilderness of bricks and mortar. When you pass from the noisy traffic of Kensington road and enter the great gates there Is a trans formation scene. In a few paces London has disappeared, and you find yourself all at once in the heart of the country. You might be in the forest of Arden, a hundred miles from Pic cadilly lawns shaded by noble cedar trees, woodland glades, a green lane with over arching boughs, and farther on terraced walks, the stone balustrades and the formal parterre of the Dutch garden. The house itself has a long. Irregular frontage, a fantastic medley of turrets, gables, arcades and oriel windows. The series of sitting rooms on the first floor are warm, comfortable and homelike and filled with a priceless collection of family portraits and heirlooms. No wonder that Charles Fox was deToted to the place where he bad passed a careless and happy boyhood and in his last Illness drove over from Chlswlck to view once more the familiar scenes, which he regarded with a special tenderness and affection. Naturally his memory Is cherished here, and he is still to some extent the tutelary genius of the place. There is a statue of him at the end of the avenue in the park; there is. a bust of him by Nollekens in the entrance hall ; there is a charac teristic note in bis handwriting on the back of a miniature of Robespierre un scelerat, an lache. et un foa (a rascal, a coward and a fool and there is a picture of him by Sir Joshua as a youth with two charming damsels. one of whom made a romantic mar riage with an actor while the other refused the hand of a king and lived to Become the mother of the heroic Kaplers.

WEAPON BEING EXPLAINED

A SUDDEN EXPLOSION SPED THE BULLET THROUGH A BLIND STRIKING DOWN VICTIM AS SHE WAS DRESSING. Chicago. Feb. 1. While standing in front of a mirror in her bedroom and with the thought of death far from her. Mrs. Lucius C. Tuckerman of Miltcn. N. Y., known as "one of the beautiful Girard sisters." daughter of Brig. Gen. A. C. Girard, U. S. A., retired, was ac- j cidentally shot and almost instantly killed last night by George Busse, a j brother of .Mayor Fred A. Busse of , Chicago. The tragedy occurred at the Walton Apartments. 3O5-307 North Clark street, shortly before 0 o'clock. The apartments of both Gen. Girard and Mayor Busse's mother are located on the fifth floor of the building. George Busse was attempting to show a maid servant how to handle a revolver in case of a visit from burglars. The weapon accidentally exploded, the bullet speeding across an air shaft into the room occupied by Mrs. Tuckerman. Mr. Busse was exonerated by the relatives of Mrs. Tuckerman. He was not arrested. George Busse was making ready to leave the city for a trip to Ohio with Dr. George McEvers, a veterinary surgeon. The mayor and his wife were present, as were Mrs. Gustav Busse, mother of the mayor, and his brother and the maid. Miss Lembke. As the mayor explained the situation afterwards, his sister, Mrs. A. G. Mang and Mr. Mang had just left the building after a Sunday afternoon's visit. Same Old Revolver. The talk turned upon the subject of burglars, and it was remarked that the front door was insecure and ought to have a chain upon it, since the maid often remained at home alone with Mrs. Gustav Busse. "I have a revolver here and I'll show you how to use it," laughed George Busse. addressing the maid. " Come in here and I'll show you how to use it." He took the weapon a heavy one to the little bedroom, the. window of which opened upon the airshaft. Miss Lembke accompanied him to take her lesson in the handling of firearms. The rest of the party considered the matter somewhat in the light of a Joke. They were alarmed a moment later by the report of the revolver. Rushing to the room it was found that while Mr. Busse was showing the revolver's action to the maid it had exploded. A wooden window blind enameled in white was closed on the inside and through this piece of woodwork the buflet hadv passed leaving a hole rimmed with lead stains. George Busse quickly realized that serious consequences were possible and hurried out of his apartment and across the hall to the apartment of the Girards. He arrived almost before Gen. Girard was aware that his daugh ter had been shot. The old 6oldier had heard the tinkle of the glass in the bedroom where Mrs. Tuckerman was dressing with her five year old son Alfred playing amout the doorway. She staggered out of the room holding her hand to her breast, as Mr. Busse entered the room. "Father! Mamma! I'm shot," she gasped, the crimson of the wound betraying its presence upon her clothing. Tries to Aid Daughter. Gen. Girard in a bound was half way down the hall. He caught his daughter in his arms as she lurched to fall, and lowered her quickly to the rug. "I I think I'm shot in the stomach." gasp ed his daughter, her eyes closing fast in unconsciousness. Gen. Girard's work for forty years Nervous Collapse "I have traveled for thirty years continually. I lost a great deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, I was obliged to give up traveling altogether. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles' Nervine came to my rescue I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever I am, particularly nervous a few doses relieve me." A. G. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me. There are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous prostration of the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is but one thing to dobuild up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine. Its strengthening influence upon the nervous system restores normal action to the organs, and when they all work in harmony, health is assured. Get? a bottle from your druggist.

has been that of an army surgeon. He quickly removed as much clothing as was necessary to reach the wound. His wife aided him. The other members of the household looked on anxiously as the grave face of the general fore told the sad ending. Mr. Busse. half-crazed from the force of the tragedy, plunged back into his own apartment. "It struck a woman." he gulped to his brother, the mayor. The mayor acted quickly. "Get all the doctors possible." he ordered. Within a few minutes four physicians were on the way to the scene. Close behind the doctors came the police. Forgiven If Not Forgottsn. Gen. Girard a fine old soldier, whose hair and goatee have grayed in the service of his country, with his wife, a woman possessed of unusual fortitude, found courage to comfort the living when they saw that their daughter was dead. Mrs. Girard walked across the hall and into the Busse apartments, where George Busse sat In a great arm chair trembling with grief and despair. Mrs. Girard put an arm around his shoulder and said in the presence of the mayor and other members of the family: "Don't take on so, Mr. Busse. We know it was an accident and that you were not to blame." The mayor's eyes welled with tears as the pathos of it cam home to him. "Do you desire the arrest of any ont in connection with this matter?" ask ed the police of Gen. Girard. "No, we are convinced that it. was purely an accident." responded the gen eral quietly and with dignity. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.
