Severity of European Weather Causes Wild , Animals to Prowl for Food. The cold throughout Europe continues to be intense. In Berlin the cold is wery severe, being 23 degrees Reaumur. The bodies of three persons who had been frozen to death were found in the streets. Navigation is being su-pended on the Elbe, and Hamburg ship-owners have ordered their vessels to proceed to other ports, steamers from South America being sent to Bremerhaven. Intensely cold -weather prevails throughout Bradenburg and East Prussic The poor of Prussian cities are suffering keenly. Horrible stories come from the remoter regions of Europe, and especially the Balkans, of death and suffering caused by the severity i f the winter. In Servia the wolves have abandoned the forests, and prowl about the towns and villages in search of prey. A young girl was devoured by wolves in the suburbs of Belgrade, and the animals, made fiercer than ever by hunger, have actually appeared in the streets of the

city. In Montenegro packs of wolves have attempted to enter the sheepfolds, refusing to retreat when fired upon by the peasantry. In Russia, also, the wild animals, made desperate by hunger and cold, have invaded the villages and devoured both human beings and domestic animals. Advices from Nanticoke state that several men have been frozen to death in small canoes that were caught out and frozen up several miles from land. Never within the memory of man has Canada suffered so continuously from intense cold as during the last month. There has been only one break in the intense cold of the lust four weeks, and that was for two days. For twenty-six days, with the exception just made, the thermometer has been down below zero, and for the most of the time It has registered from 15 to 20 degrees below. The suffering among the poor in all parts of the country is great. Numbers of people have been frozen to death, some tn their beds. CONVENTION FOR GOOD ROADS Plans Considered Whereby the Condition of Public Ronds May He Bettered. At the convention of the National League for Good Roads, held in Washington, the Committee < n Resolutions reported a resolution thunking the press and asking for their continued cooperation. It was also resolved that so far as possible the business of roadbuilding should be separated from partisan action. It was further resolved that the colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts In the several States should make a specialty of thorough instruction, scientific and practical, in the construction and maintenance of good roads, and that this is a proper subject for the agricultural experiment stations supported by appropriations. The Committee on Legislation recommended that an appropriation of $15,0(0 be asked of Congress to enable the Seoretery of Agriculture to make a general : inquiry into the condition of highways ' in the United States. OPEN AIR CEREMONIES, Everyone Having Fifty < ents May See ti e Fair Begin. The plan to hold the ceremonies attending the opening of the World’s Fair on Muy 1 in a small building at Jackson ■ Park, and charge $5 for tickets, was re- 1 ; jected by the executive eommitteo of the local board. The directors decided that the programme should be given in the , open air, and that all why paid 50 cents to get in the grounds should have the privilege of hearing what was said and seeing everything that was done, providing they could get near enough to the platform. As more than 200,<'0J people, perhaps double that number, will go to Jackson Park on the o casion of the formal inauguration of the festive season of the Exposith n, n good many visitors will not bo able to hear the speeches, the prayers and the ode. Ml«drtn*nnor to Threaten Employe*. A bill has passed the Indiana Homo which makes it a misdemeanor to dis-j charge employes or threaten to discharge them because they belong to la- ; bor organizations. The bill fixes a penalty of SIOO I ne and six months' in:- ■ prisonment for the violation of the act. 1 The bill to ppropriate $50,000 for the National Grand Army of the Republic encampment to be hell in Indiana- olis ’ in September wa- Introdie od by Repro- 1 sensitive Meredith, and was accompanied by a memorial from many Grund Army posts.

Faulkner and Camden were named } as Senators for West Virginia, the latter ; succeeding Kenna. The Senate refused to pass the Me- • Garrahan claim bill over the President's ! veto, by a vote of 29 to 18. Knox A Sons, manufacturers of shoe machinery, Boston, failed, owing $45,000 and with $190,000 assets. Eight hundred men have been examined at Cheyenne, Myo., for jury! service in the rustler trials. The steamer Mississippi burned at Paducah, Ky. She was a Government boat, and was valued at $30,000. A decree of foreelo-ure has been granted at New York against the Metropolitan Opera House for $612,(00. C. C. Hixon, ex-County Clerk at New Whatcom, Ore., is missing, and his accounts are said to be short $4,800. Arrangements are being made foi an intercollegiate debate between the universities of Wisconsin and Michigan. A new trial will be asked in the Har-ris-Potts murder case at New York, on the ground of the discovery of new evi- । denco. POSTMASTER HaTIT.OW, of St. Lould, reports that his street railway postal service has proved eminently successful in every particular. George Wells shot and instantly killed his father, Ben Wells, at Rollerton, in Marion County, Ky. He was enraged because his father prevented him irom shooting a dog. As it is not the intention of the Vatican to establish a legation in the United States, Mgr. Satolli, the apostolic delegate, will, it is stated, reside in New York and not in Washington. Congress will consider a plan to abolish all pension agencies for the payment of pensions, and provide for the disbursement of this money from the treasury directly by means of checks. The remains of Gen. B. F. Butlei were interred at Lowell, Mass. The ! services were under the auspices of the G. A. R. Thousands of people Hocked to the hall where the body lay in state. The admiration of George T. Bowes, of Kansas City, for the handsome wife of James D. Burton, a clerk in the City Treasurer’s office, caused Burton to fire five shots at Bowes, inflicting two seriour wounds. The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction for extortion of James Hughes, of Chicago, Mastef Workman of the National Garment Workers’ Assembly, and he will serve a year in prison.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL AN INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE LESSON. -leGectlon* aJ an Elevating Character— Wholesome Food for Thought — Studying the Scriptural Lesson Intelligently and Profitably. The Spirit of the Lord. Hie lesson for Sunday, Jan. 29, mav be found in Zech. 4: 1-10. INTRODI l TORY. Zechariah is the I ook of visions. If pverthere was apian who saw “visions,” I that man was Zechariah. Vision , crowds upon vision; eight times over this man of God is waked to behold these picture lessons.' A very picturebook, a full-page engraving at every turn of the leaf, is tills prophecy of Zechariah. The lesson before us pre- | Bents us one more of those scenes from before the throne of God. It is a timely I vision, for it finds Zerubbabel and his co-laborors much bestead, and it tells them of a strong help and sure re-en- I forcem- nt that may well lift their drooping spirits. Satan may bo । our- • Ing water on the fire in front, but back I behind the veil of partition is God's mi gel with the vessel of oil. Ami tH'yoml Vhc <llm unknown Standelh Go<l witbin the shadows, keeping Watch above bis own. POINTS IN THE LESSON Is there an angel that ta'.ks with you? Zechariah was the wakeful prophet. God was always waking him up with new visions. Weil, some eye- must bo j sleepless for the sake of a slumbering world. “What seest thou?” It Is the word that conies to cn h of us, us we look out j on nature and experience. Whntdoyou 1 see? Anything beyond the crude corns- ! cations of eurtT' Is there no lamp i burning in the Ire -tops, lit of God? Is there no bowl of oil, renlcnisl.o I by Jo- ■ hovah, in the midst of life’s tasks and tests? And Dow we know the mi-sion of the seer. He Is to look with a steadier gaze at things visible until he sees Go l. “And two olive trees by it.” Douay, • Over it.' I Imre will be a temptation to unduly spiritualize here. Who were those two sons of oil, ' as the Hebrew puts it, v. 11- t hrist and the Spirit, or ' baptism and the Lord’s Supper, or Ze- i nibbabel and Joshua Never mind. Wo personally in line to the latter. Hut the real, practical le-s. n of it all is here, plainly here, that the connection I with the higher sources is a llv ng and vital one. It i- a* constant and until- ’ terrupted a* is the flow of sap in tho olive branch. Ami ilia' olive branch is ' so vitally connected ns to make lan p i* original bring.ng this out still mote dis- ! tlnetly. The bowi Is like nn neorn-eup held by the oak bough, the v ssM of oil sways between two feeding brunches of I olive. Our stores of supply from God uro fresh and new every day because i we ourselves are living brunches vitally ■ attached to a living vine. That Hamo i in the vision must live so long as the nurturing olive 1 red But do no' forget tho instrument. Here It is Zerubbabel. Before him the mountain be ow a pain: and it will; not become a plain unless he confront : it. God has given it to his servants to dl-playhls power here on earth, and, w. may say it reverent y. that power Mm*-.amu Le di-- pUye I, In this dispensaWon -a - '-Chr ■ : - nr-e ami ex'•‘abit It. The wot d know* nothing of J*. ’• । I . . j ;ri' • % : : ■■ ul - tell it with lip or life. It is hi- word of light let into hearts of faith that giorifbes God. For this angels wait that they may see God - glory wait for us ; of earth to display it by lives of trust before their enrapture I eyes. An 1 this is the meaning of the closer reading of that wonderful ver e with which the lesson ends. Men । may despise the things of grime, but the angelic Intelligences, Go i’s eyes with feet to run and wings to carry them to 1 the ends of the earth, they look on and rejoice. Dev mtly let u- [ray: “Lord, thy will be done on earth as it is done by angels in heaven!” HINTS AND ILLt STRATIOXS. This lesson wi I find many churches and Sun-lay school*, let us hope, in the midst of revival blessings. What more sensible than these awakening sen- ; fences from Zechariah? Make much of them. Let them be mad" the topic of sermonic discourse. What more stimulating exercise for pastor and people than a free, open exposition of the thought of this passage? Take it into tho prayer now, make that sixth verse, over and over again, the burden of prayer, till its truth is inwardly perceived. Turn the Sunday school Sto a j rayer-meet ng and let shouting of “Grace, grace unto it!” Le heard everywhere. Then shall it be that more than one Sunday school shall be able to testify as that Omaha suj erintendent did of a notable Sunday in the Mills meetings—all declared f< r God. “Who art thou, O great mountain?” Zerubbabel was qualified to ask. We would answer, “Whya mountain; plainly enough a mountain; as any one can see!” “No thou art not; bes, r ■ Zerubbabel (omit the additions' thou art a plain.” Go l give- us the holy boldness to •ay it and claim our own? Dr. Perren spoke a very suggestive word at a “ recent Rather ng of the young people. । Up in Canada, he said, they were a long time studying a geography (Morse's was it not?) which, prepared as it was, : in the United States, naturally gave this country precedence, and thrust the provinces comparatively into the background. The school boards at last took no'ice of it; the children were becoming “annexationists.” Thereupon they substituted a projection of the earth which gave a little more prominence to the Queen’s possessions in America. It serves to point mi re than one moral. We have been following long enough the world’s atlas. It knows nothing of the meek inheriting the < arth, or of faith subduing mountains, or of God’s gift of the “uttermost parts of tho earth,” for Christ’s posse-sions. Keep in mind the celestial geography and God’s letters patent. Next lesson—“ Dedicating tho Templo.”—Ezra 6: 14-22. Fighting Without Firearms. Swords equal to the 1 est ever made are still produced in Toledo. Greek helmets covered the heal, Lack of neck, ears and nose. The partisan was the last form of tho lance preceding the bayonet. Axmen in the French army still wear heavy helmets and corselets. In the fourteenth century axes were fixed on the shafts of lances. Shields were not used in England after the reign of Henry VII.

INDIANA LEGISLATURE. January 12.—Both the Senate and House this morning adopted the joint and separate rules which governed the fifty-seventh General Assembly without practical change. Senator Boyd intro- । duced a resolution looking to the investigation of the accounts in the office of Attorney General Smith. The resolution, was made the special order ot next Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock. An important resolution introduced by Senator Stuart, lias for its purpose the redistricting of the State for Circuit Court purposes. The following bills were introduced in the Senate: Providing for the erection ot bridges over streams dividing counties; protecting dairy products; appropriating 60,500 to the State Normal. ’I he House passed and ordered sent to । the Senate a joint resolution, asking the j Indiana Senators and Representatives in । Congress to use their influence and cast I their votes to secure the establishment , ot the office of Secretary of Labor as a regular cabinet position. The Conference Committee appointed । on the bill appropriating $105,000 to de- ; fray the expenses of tho. session, made { its report, which was accepted, and employes may now get their pay. Jasi aky 13. In tho call of committecs a few unimportant bills were recommended for passage, among them being Senator Filman’s bill exempting all church parsonages from taxation; Senator McCutcheon's bill fixing a penalty of from ten days to six months । in jai), and a tine of from SSO to SSOO for 1 carrying concealed weapons; a House bill । providing for a continuance in cases where an attorney is a member of the ■ Legislature. j The Senate adjourned at. noon until i next Monday at 11 o'clock. The proceedings in the House was dull and unimportant. The Conference Comi juittee's report on the Appropriation Bill to pay the expenses of the session, was adopted. The Labor Committee reported favorably on Mr. Deery's bill, making it a misdemeanor to discharge employes I for membership in labor organizations; also favoring the passage of Suchanech's bill, making it unlawful to employ children under 14 years of age in factories owr eight hours a day. A few other minor bills were recommended for passage, a few unimportant bills were introduced, and the House adjourned at noon until 11 o'clock Monday. J vni vm 16. — Prison South affairs oc- . copied the attention of both houses to day. In the Senate a letter was read from Mr. Patton, referring to the charges of mismanagement and cruelty tocnxlets sprung upon him from Republican sources, and asking an investigation. Mr Patton also said: ’‘Believing that the charges emanate from a spirit of malice and revenge, and for the purpose <d putting into execution a threat to defeat the Prison Direetors for re fdeetlon, and to bring the prison management into disgrace, and that an effort is I ring made by design'’ g politicians to give these charges a political coloring for political effect only, I demand that they to made specific and I that 1 be furnished with a copy of the same, together with tho names of the a' isers, so as to be able to act advisedly in tho premises.” The debate drifted along through the morning session and was resumed after noon. Tho matter of an investigation was finally referred to the regular commttte,- <>t the Prison South. The communication of Warden Patton to the House, similar in tone to that laid before the Senate, was backed by a resolution introduced by Representative Ader of Putnam, reciting the charges which have found their way into prim and referring the same to the Committee ' on the Prison South, with full power to ' act. The committees will act jointly in the . prison investigation. The bill looking to placing appoint--1 ments of prison directors, boards of benevolent institutions, Ac., into the hands of the Chief Executive, saw light to-day. It was introduced in the House by Cullop of Knox. It is wide-sweeping in its provisions. The Governor is given power of removal for cause, and he is made practically responsible for the , management of the State Institutions. | Another matter exciting attention was a resolution by Mr. Tippen of Tipton, i calling for a joint committee to correspond with other State Legislatures and endeavor to prepare a bill subjecting foreign capital loaned in the States to taxation. In the Senate Tuesday. David Turpie was i nominated and elected United States Senal tor by a vote of 35 to 4. He was nominated by Senator Kern and seconded by Senators I McLean and Griffith. Mr. Fairbanks was nominated by Senator Loveland, who read ! Senator Wishard’s speech, he being sick. Senator Hobson seconded and Senator Boord made a very creditable maiden effort in behalf of Fairbanks. j In the House the ceremony of placing in nomination candidates for United States Senator was made the special order of 11 o’clock. The special order being called, Mr. Cullop presented the name of Senator Turpie, which was seconded by Bench, Cravens, and Johnson. : The name of Hon. Charles YV. Fairbanks was presented by -Mr. I.inderinuth and seconded By Mori ns It Sulzer ami Mr. Meredith. The vote resulted—Turpie 63,Fairbanks 36. Summary —Turpie I*o, Fairbanks 50. | A few- minor bills were killed by adverse committee reports in both Houses. Among , them was one to amend the celebrated “Proi voke” law, which queer statute was left as it is. An effort to rush Judge Elliott’s Appellate Court Bill through the House failed, but । votes enough were recorded for it to pass it 1 wlien it comes up regularly. It lias been ! amended so as to leave the term of life of the court six years. The first of the usury bills reducing the legal rare of interest to 6 pei cent, came up and was killed. । At 12 o’clock Wednesday, both branches of the General Assembly met in the hall of the House of Representatives to canvass the vote for United states Senator,cast yesterday. Lieutenant Governor Nye presided. The journals of both branches relative to the Senatorial proceedings of yesterday wore read and the vote being tabulated*, showed 93 votes for Turpie, and 50 votes foi Fairbanks. Mr. Turpie having received a majority of the votes cast was declared duly ; elected a Senator from Indiana for a period of six years, commencing on the 4th dav of । March, 1893. ! There was important legisla’ion in both : Houses. A bill passed the House practically legalizing labor unions, and it did so without provoking debate. This provides thal ; any employer discharging an employe be- ‘ cause he is a member of a labor organization or refusing to employ him for the same ' reason, shall bo subjected to a fine of Slot and imprisonment in the County Jail for sis months. 1 A bill revolutionizing the method of keeping the several funds of the State was passeij !by the Senate. It is the most important piece of legislation so far accomplished. It , prepares a new system for keeping Stati ! funds, and opens up a new way for levying taxes out of which these several funds are constituted.
