The market to-day has lieen very dull and
irregular. There were no important rumors
afloat, turopean war news having no effect
upon prices. Lackawanna and Pacific Mail
were active, as were SL Paul, Lake Shore and
Northwest. There were no especial features.
Lake Shore was weak, closing 1-4 per cent,
lower. New k ork Central sympathized with
this decline, but closed stronger. Northern
Pacific common closed 1 per cent, higher.
Goulds were quiet, and, like most other stocks,
showed but slight fluctuations. The market
closed steady. Sales 213,0u0 shares, the market

Chicago, March 28.—The leading markets
to-day were a little unsettled, but failed to
fluctuate outside of moderate bounds. A de
termined effort was made by the local bears
to break wheat An n, but it met with only
partial success. Later the recovery was so
qtusk and buoyant as to indicate strength
and a uatur .lly" advancing tendency, and the
closing for the day was marked by apparent
great strength. Wheat opened easy and
lower, with considerable increase talked of in
next week’s visible supply, and soon savrged
by reason of local hammering by representa
tive houses and a lack of support of cables,
which, if not of a peaceful character, were at
least less warlike and irregular. A break
from the top prices of nearly lc was effected
by hard work, but a reaction of over lc quick
ly followed, the marke, advancing, if any
thing, faster and more readily than it broke
off. Towards the dosing hours of the session
the tone was one of firmness; No. 2 spring
sold from 79J Corn opened steady and
fully up to yesterday's closing prices, subse
quently fluctuating lc downward in the
favorite future, but making a fair recovery.
Trade was only moderately large, and was
split up in small sized lots. The prevailing
tenor was much the same as governed wheat:
No. i cash sold at 40}^<grlu? 4 c. Oats were gen
erally let alone by the bulk of local traders,
and showed little or no life. Provisions opened
up easier, aud during the first half of the
session were fairly traded in at outside
prices, but in the absence of any supporting
element, and in sympathy with the easy fea
ture in grains, prices soon broke off. and to
warils the close trade dragged at a slight de
cliuc, though in a general way there was a
little recovery from the bottom price. The
range in pork was only 15c.
Flour unchanged. Wheat qaieter; prices

THE COLDEST IN KLEY'EN TEAKS
The Kind of Weather Old “Probs” has
Thus far Dealt Out (o 1885.
If the old saw “Winter lingers in the
lap of spring” was ever true of any year,
it is certainly true of 1885. The “oldest
inhabitant” wisely shakes his head and
says that he never experienced such a
late winter or as cold a one, and weather
students dive in vain into the archives of
the past to find its parallel. An exam
ination of the weather reports at the Sig
nal Office demonstrates that it has been
an exceptionally long and cold winter.
Not only is this true of this section of the
country, but it is true of the entire United
States, and the newspapers continue
to report blizzards and cold waves sweep
ing from the West or rushing along the
coast.
The following table furnished by Sergt.
Emory, Signal Officer at this station,shows
the mean temperature at Savannah for
the past 11 years for the months of Feb
ruary and March up to the present date:
Mean Temp. .Vtrjn Temp.
Year. February. March.
187.5 . 59 7 69 2
1876 56.6 58 7

1883 60.1 66.8
18 4 58 3 01 7
1885 49.6 52 9
It will be seen from the table that the
temperature for both February and
March, 1885, is considerably lower than
during the corresponding months of any
year pievious as far back as 1875.
RAILROAD INTELLIGENCE.
Gleanings from Along the Track and
Crossties.
W. C. Wallace, of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, is at the Screven.
The employes of the Alabama Great
Southern Railroad will receive all back
pay hereafter.
A. L. Iteed, Passenger Agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line System, and known
to every railroad man in the South, has
been stopping some days at the Pulaski.
The President of the Florida Southern
Railroad has, it is said, agreed to com
plete the road to Charlotte Harbor in
eight months. The particular point for
terminus is not known.
The Florida Southern Railroad has re
cently added 25 new flat cars to its run
ning stock. The two locomotives which
have been in the shops undergoing re
pairs, will be turned out this week in
first-class condition.
Train 34 of the Charleston and Savan
nah Railway, due in Savannah at 11:25
a. m., was two hours late yesterday, owing
to an accident near Adams’ Run, S. O.
The engine drawing the train broke both
connecting rods, aud was totally disabled.
An extra engine was sent out and brought
in the train.
At White Plains, Greene county, a few
days ago another railroad meeting was
held, and the action taken at the previous
meeting in regard to building a branch
road from Union Point to White Plains
was cancelled. Committees were ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions for anew
road, the scheme now on foot being to ex
tend the A. G. and L. Railroad to White
Plains in response to a proposition made
by Col. Mitchell, the President of that
road.
The bitter war between the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia and Western
and Atlantic Railroads, growing out of
the sharp competition between the lines
ou business from Chattanooga to Atlanta,
has reached Chattanooga. Some weeks
ago the AVestern and Atlantic notified the
East Tennessee road that they would not
be allowed to use their side-tracks in At
lanta for the delivery of treight. The lat
ter road offered to pay the former a band
some sum for the use of their tracks, but
the Western and Atlantic declined. It
seems now that the East Tennessee will
give the Western aud Atlantic a dose of
their own medicine. There are a number
ol side-tracks in Chattanooga, owned by
the East Tennessee, running to several
manufactories, which have heretofore been
used by all the linos. A few davs ago the
East Tennessee road notified the Western
and Atlantic that they could no longer
handle ears on their side-tracks, and, in
consequence, all business going South can
only be loaded on East Tennessee cars
and shipped by that line.
Fashion Notes.
Silk muslin is a novelty in black goods.
Gold beaded white laces are coming in
favor.
Jet will be more used than ever in dress
and millinery.
Velveteens come for spring in all the
new shades cf color.
Entire skirt fronts of Angora lace come
among early spring importations.
Pretty ecru lace is ornamented with
bright yellow, red and blue beads.
Black hats and bonnets will be trim
med with white to be very stylish.
Coquettish aprons are made of large
sized silk handkerchiefs in gay colors.
Cresson green watered ribbons are effec
tively used 011 some black lace bonnets.
Gloves are comparatively short for ev
ery-day wear. Tan, with stitched backs,
are most worn.
Dainty seersuckers of American manu
facture are to be had in all colors and in
checks and stripes.
French laces imitating real thread laces
are used for making entire bonnets, or for
partly trimming others.
Beaded lace bodices, with skirts of soft,
silk or satin, are among the best worn cf
ordinary evening gowns.
Small gilt pins placed near together all
around the velvet binding of a bonnet
make stylish ornaments.
Soutache braid is extensively used on
all new gowns. It is put on in plain row s
and in many fanciful designs.
Plaids anil stripes are in all materials,
styles and colors. Those formed of fine
checks are especially new and attractive.
Plain white handkerehiets of sheer
grass-cloth have a large monograuFor the

Embroidered silk scarfs and handsome

Lace rolling collars, generally of point

with cuffs to match, have almost entirely
taken the place of ties, jabots and ruch

It is now rumored that the I’resiednt

MORMOSISM ILLUSTRATED
CANNON'S STRAIGHT LIFT IN
WASHINGTON,
The Object of His Present Tfilt to the
Capital Sot Made Public—Delegate
Caine Talk* About His Co-Believers—
Three Thousand Men who Hart More
Than One YY'ife Each-
Washington March 27.—Among the
fasiiliar faces that come to the surface
here in this time of general resurrection
is that of George Q-Cannon, former Dele
gate from Utah, Mormon elder, ne has
been here most of the time since the in
auguration. What is the object of his
coming he does not say, “Private busi
ness” is the alleged cause of his long trip
from his mountain encircled home at the
heart of Mormonism. He finds a good
many acquaintances here, perhaps a good
many friends, for it must be admitted that
omitting his frank enunciation of his be
lief in the peculiar feature of his church
faith—polygamy—Mr. Cannon was an ex
emplary citizen while here. Indeed, if
•ther members of Congress would lead
lives half as correct in appearance as did
Mr. Cannon, or as nis successor, Mr.
Caine, there would be many less scan
dals and much less of reproach regard
ing lives of Congressmen in general.
In all the long years that Mr. Cannon
was here, ancl in most cases hs came
quite alone and not accompanied by any
member of his uumerous family, there
never was heard any attack on his hab
its, though, of course, an opportu
nity to do so would have been even
more promptly accepted than in many
other cases. What has brought him here
now is not certainly known. Probably
he hoped by coming to learn what the
course of the new administration w-as to
be toward the Mormons. If he has suc
ceeded in finding any comfort or reason
to believe it will be lees vigorous than his
predecessor, he has been more successful
than others who have made careful in
quiry regarding the matter. President
Cleveland’s vigorous utterances regard
ing his great evil in bis inaugural did not
reassure, to any great extent, those
who had hoped for a change in favor
of the Mormons. Mr. Cannoa is
understood to be the head of a pretty
large family, having four wives, the fifth
having died some time since. Whether
he has followed the professed course of
some others of the leaders in putting
away all but one of their wives is not
known. The head of the church, Joseph
Smith, set an example for the younger
men, when the law was passed, which
may have been more difficult for some of
tue younger men to follow than was the
case with him.
ELDER CANNON.
“Mr. Smith, our president,” said Dele
gate Caine, Mr. Cannon’s successor, talk
ing to your correspondent, “set an exam
ple for the other members of the church,
who were living in polygamy as soon as
the Edmunds law was' passed. He was
living in anew residence that nad been
built for the president of the church and
his family. He bad just occupied it, for,
though it was begun before Brigham
Y T oung’s death, it was not finished when
Mr. Smith became president. When the
law was passed he called his wives to
gether, and, explaining the law as en
acted, said lhat ho did not want to be a
law-breaker, or to set an example of defy
ing the law, even though lie considered it
a great injustice. So he sanl he thought
it was best for their marriage relations to
end, and that they should no longer
occupy the same residence. He gave
his wives their choice of remaining in the
new house together or of going to the old
one again, saying that if they would stay
there he would go back to the old one
himself, or if they preferred to go to the
old one he would stay in the new one.
So they went to the old one again, and the
President has lived entirely alone, and
without marriage relations with any of
his wives since t hat time.”
“Have there been any polygamous mar
riages since the enactment of the Ed
munds law, Mr. Caine?”
“Only one so lar as I know. Ou that
one there is to be a trial next month.”
“Tnen it looks as though the result of
the Edmunds law, if enforced, might in
time be the end of polygamy, does it not?”
“Perhaps. It is pretty hard to say.
Polygamy is not as widely practiced as is
supposed by many people, and its entire
disappearance from the practices of the
Mormons would not be a matter of so
much moment as many believe.”
“How many polygamists are there in
the Mormon Church, Mr. Caine?’
“That can not be definitely answered,
but from what information I have I do
not think there are more than 3,000 poR-ga
mous families; or, in other words, not
over 3,000 men who have more than one
wife each. You see our women vote there.
Well, the report of the commissioners
who enforced the Edmunds law stated
that the law which prevented polyga
mists—men or women—from voting dis
franchised about 12,000 persons. Well,
to be a polygamist ol course every man
must have at least two wives. So when
3,060 men are prohibited from voting of
course double their number are of course
prohibited. So that would make 9,000.
Then there are some widows of deceased
polygamists who are prohibited from
voting, and a few others who are affected
by the law, and besides that, some few
cases where men have more than two
wives each. So I think, taking this basis
of 12,000 votes affected by the law, that it,
is a reasonable inference that there are
not more than 3,000 men who had, at the
time the Edmunds law was passed, more
than one wife each.
DELEGATE CAINE.
“And how many are there in the Mor
mon Church now?”
“About 250,000 I think, in all—a quar
ter of a million—and out of the number
only 12,000 that can be by any sense
classed as polygamists, or are affected by
the law relating to it. That shows how
little is known about our systems, and
how great are the misrepresentations to
which our church is subject.”
“Is it because the others do not believe
in polygamy that it is not practiced by a
larger proportion ? Take your own case,
Mr. Caine—you are a Mormon, but not, it
ia understood, a polygamist?”
“1 am,” he smiled, “a Mormon and not
a polygamist. No, that is not the reason
that it, is not practiced by the majority,
for all Mormons believe that man may,
under certain circumstances, take more
than one wile. We found it to be part of
the Bible, and that it has been recognized
and sanctioned by the Almighty from the
beginningdown, though it was' given by
special revelation lo the founder of our
church.”
“It has been stated, Mr. Caine, that
Mormonism is spreading into the Territo
ries adjoining Utah. Is this true?”
“Yes. Our people are increasing very
fast, and, as Utah is a country where you
can’t farm without irrigation, ar.d as
water is scarce, it is quite natural that
they should look for other and more satis
factory locations. There are some Mor
mons in Idaho, some in Arizona, and per
haps some in the other Territories.”
“And are they living in polygamy there
as well as in Utah?”
“Few, if any. I don’t think there are
any. There are certainly no polygamous
marriages in any of the other Territories,
lor they cannot be made anywhere except
at Salt Lake City, It is a great priv.
and one wh‘ch is only granted by ti
church and on the most careful examina
tion showing the person is in every way
fit to enter upon this state, that be is able
to support a second wife, or a third, a*
the case may be, and that he is tit in
every wav to assume tie increased re
sponsibility. It is a high privilege, which
few men obtain, and it is never graded
outside the home of the church.”
“You speak of the rapid increase of the
membersnip of the church, Mr. Caine; is
that because of the addition from the out
side, or the natural increase?”
“Both. We have large numbers of mis
sionaries in all parts-of the world,but the
most of our increase comes from natural
causes. We are, you know, a marrying
people; we look upon it as a duty to mar
ry, and not only to marry, but to beget
children. Our families are very large.
Instead of one or two or three children,
as is the case in the blast, it is not un
usual for our families where there is but
one wife to consist of ten or twelve chil
dren. Marriage is considered one of the
religious duties, and the rearing of chil
dren the same. There is no infanticide
among us: in any form or stage, no mat
ter how rarely, it is considered murder.
The result is that we have a very rapid
increase in population.”
“And do all who are sons and daughters
of Mormons become Mormons them
selves ?”
“Not all, but a very large proportion.
There are occasional cases where they
do not, and there are cases where those
who accept the Mormon faith renounce it,
but they are rare.”
“They have that privilage without re
straint?”
"Certainly,” he said, with an amused
smile. “They are as free as anybody in
this country to do as they like in these
matters. Take my own case, for instance.
I was not reared a Mormon. I went there
from New York city over thirty years
ago, having accepted the Mormon faith
after an examination in New York. I
have always had perfect Ireeuom of
speech and thought, and have never had
any restraint anout speaking my mind,
even to Brigham Young himself, for I was
much with him in bis lifetime.”
SENATOR EDMUNDS.
“’What do you think of the published
statement a few days since that the
church was thinking of doing away with
polygamy ?”
1 think there is nothing in it. It would
be impossible. It is a part of our religion,
and a part of our church faith. It is not
impossible thjit polygamy may be dropped,
as a matter of policy, but the Mormon
church, as long as it exists, will hold as
one of its vital principles that it Is right,
under certain circumstances, for a man
to take more than one wife.
Senator Edmunds and the Edmunds
law are the object of anything but affec
tion on the part of the Mormons. They
pronounce his law tyrannical and uncon
stitutional. It is, they say, cx post facto
in that it includes in its workings all
who have ever lived in polygamy, no
matter if they be now widowers
or widows. The manner in which the
law is enforced, they say, is tyranny.
Whether the new administration will
give them any more satisfactory adminis
tration of the law, they say they are not
able to determine. Mr. Edmunds himself
is understood to be of the opinion that
the law will gradually work great benefit,
and with some additional legislation and
strict enforcement may work a final
disappearance of polygamy.
Judge Carleton one of the members of
the Utah Commission is here. He says
of the recent Supreme Court decision:
“It is substantially in faver of the com
missioners and tile validity of the law'.
The court has held that the 'affidavits re
quired of voters prior to registration
are invalid. Therefore some
other means of discrimination
between those who are polygamists and
those who are not will have to be devised.
The Mormons in Utah have been expect
ing that the court will hold the law, or
most of it, to be unconstitutional and in
valid, and I trust that this decision will
show to the people of Utah the futility of
longer continuing in defiance of the laws
of the Federal Government.”
In a few T days the other members of the
commission will be here for the purpose
of conferring with the President and other
officers of the executive government pre
paratory to resuming operations in Utah
early In April. Austin.

The Government Authorities Arresting
Dealers Without Licenses,
The United States Marshals unearthed
yesterday a number of new cases of vio
lations of the revenue laws in selling
“Aromatique,” and warrants were issued
for the arrest of the parties. J. R. Miller,
a Bullock county merchant who has been
selling it, and has learned that it is a
violation of the revenue laws to do so,
came to the city yesterday and paid the
necessary tax to cover the time he has
been dealing in the stuff. Mr.
Miller stated to a News reporter
that when he commenced to deal
in “Aromatique” he wrote to the manu
facturers of the preparation and asked if
a United States license was necessary to
deal in it, and that they replied assuring
him that the question had been tested in
the courts and that no license was re
quired. He says they assured him that
there was not enough alcohol in the pre
paration to bring it within the provisions
of the internal revenue law’s.
District Attorney Darnell said that he
had no disposition to deal harshly with
parties who have been dealing in the arti
cle innocently, but the license tax must
be paid in all cases.
A BEASTLY CRIME.
A Jfejro Constable Charted with Ruin
ing His Own Daughter.
The wife of Robert H. Burke, a negro
constable, who lives on Price street, sued
out a peace warrant yesterday against
her husband. The woman said that
Burke had beaten and maltreated her the
night before, and it the story she related
is true, it develops one of the most start
ling cases of moral depravity that can be
conceived or even imagined. The woman
says that her husband is the father
of’ an illegitimate daughter who
has been living with them for
some time. The girl had grown into
womanhood. She recently discovered that
their daughter was in a delicate condi
tion, and on Friday the girl confessed that
Burke, her own lather, was the author of
her ruin. When Burke learned that the
girl had made this statement, on his return
home Friday night, he assaulted and beat
her, and then assailed his wife. He was
arrested, but afterward gave bond for bis
appearance at court.
A Bad Practice Condemned.
Editor Morning News: Your valuable
paper published some days ago the arrest
and punishment of a party who was
caught stealing flowers and committing
other acts of vandalism at Laurel Grove
Cemetery. These outrages have been
committed for some time and will be in
the future unless some plan is devised to
stop them. Permit me to suggest the
plan adopted in many of our cities of issu
ing tickets of admission to lot owners or
any others who would like to visit the
place outside of making it a public re
sort. This might remedy the evil com
plained of now. Further, I might sug
gest the propriety of not allowing any
person to pass out with flowers, even
loS ownerSj as I know this practice is
sometimes indulged in. This gives as a
right in others to do so, who take them
from the last resting place of the dead,
who are held so sacred by all ot us. I am
sorry to say that some of the parties who
are known to be guilty of this practice of
removing flowers pride themselves on
their gentility. Their names have so far
been repressed, but a repetition of such
an act will certainly be exposed by
One Interested.

JNew York, March .;h Hunt
tell* a story of Shelly h. Auig a woman
unconscious on a Weak hillsice ju lump
stead one winter night, and trying am
to obtain shelter for her in one o. the
neighboring cottages. Although the
woman was nearly dead from exposure,
cobody would take her in, and Shelly was
obliged to eonvey her to Hunt's house, a
comparatively lous distance, involving a
dangerous delay. The reason nearer
shelter was refused was because the cot
tagers considered a homeless and friend
less woman to be necessarily disreputa
ble, and did not wish to incur the risk of
moral contamiation by admitting her to
their dwellings.
One is reminded of this episode by the
difficulty which, not homeless and friend
less, but well-to-do women who do not,
however, happen to have a male protec
tor, experience in finding transient shel
ter in New York. A woman was
refused admittance into Dorlon’s up
town oyster house the other night because
her companion was also a woman und
not a man. The cab which brought them
was not considered sufficient evidence of
respectability, and they were turned
away oysterless. Now. a woman who ar
rives in New York late at night without
a male escort, will not only not be able to
get oysters, but will hardly find shelter at
a respectable hot°l. The first-class hotels
here have a rule unalterable as the laws
of the Medes and Persians, and
w hich is no respecter of persons, wnich
forbids them to open their doors to women
who are not accompanied by men.
Respectable women, doubtless, often
flatter themselves that they bear the
patent of respectability on tueir taco.*
Appearances are deceitful in the opinion
of New York hotel-keepers, and women
who are as chaste as ice and pure as
snow have not escaped the common doom
of bein turned away first from one hotel
and then from another. They have finally
sought shelter at boarding houses, asking
for admittance not as a right but on a
set re of charity. Those who are not so
fortunate in obtaining such shelter often,
doubtless, go to those hotels which will
admit them, and are consequently more
or less exposed, if not to insult, at any
rate, to misconstruction while there. The
mural to be derived from all this is ob
vious. A woman should not come to New
York alone without first making arrange
ments fra stopping place and bringing
with her some proofs of her identity.
Better take a little preliminary, and per
haps unnecessary, trouble than run the
risk of the worse than inconvenience to
which she may otherwise be subjected.
THE VERY HOTELS, BY THE WAY,
which are so rigorous about not admitting
respectable women who are traveling
alone, constantly admit women of another
sort, when their character is not too ob
vious. who have male escorts. When the
applicants ldr admission are not person
ally known, one would suppose that a re
spectable woman, even if alone, would
fare as well a9 a disreputable woman
with an escort, but the hotel men think
different'y.
Speaking ot the fair sex, the naive sur
prise expressed by the correspondents of
Northern newspapers in New Orleans at
the courtesy with which women are treat
ed in the horse cars there, is not a little
refreshing. Apparently, no woman is
ever allowed to stand, and in a crowded
car men surrender their seats to women
as a matter of course. In place of so doing
being the exception, it is the rule, and it
seems to make no difference whether the
woman is old or young, white or col
ored. Here the exception is the
other way. It is comparatively
seldom that a man stands in a horse car
that a woman may sit, and the man that
does so gets small th’anks for his cour
tesy. The average New York “lady”
will take a man’s seat and never dream
of acknowledging the favor. It is this
lack ol common courtesy on the part of
the women, indeed, which has brought
about the present state of things. ' A
man tired with his day’s toil is naturally
disinclined to fatigue himself by standing
for the benefit of a creature who, like the
lilies, toils not, and who will not have
even the grace to thank him. If New
York women were more thankful for horse
car favors the men would be more apt to
grant them. As it is horse car manners
in New York will probably continue the
reverse of those in New Orleans.
THERE IS AN ANTE ELECTION REMINIS
CENCE
in “Diplomacy,” which has been revived
at Wailaek’s Theater. MissCoghlan, as the
Russian spy and adventuress,tells Lester
XVallack, who is “Henry Beauclare” in
the last act, to “burn this letter.” When I
saw the play on Monday night, the famil
iar phrase was recognized and an invol
untary clapping ana stamping greeted it.
There have been three changes in the part
ot “Dora” in the same play within a week.
Miss Annie Robe surrendered the part
last week (Wednesday) on tne score of a
real or alleged cold, and Miss Adele Mea
sor had to take it. She became afflicted
with Miss Robe’s complaint two days
later and resigned in favor of Miss Rus
sell, who had to act the character at a
few hours’ notice. There is some secret
apparently in her predecessors throwing
up the part, but it has not yet been di
vulged.
Mr. Wallack next season, if he carries
out his proposed plan, will not replace so
readily the personators of a leading char
acter. He intends, it is said, to give up
his stock oompany, and to hereafter hire
actors and actresses as he wants them.
He will have to employ regularly a few
to take the chief parts, but he relies on
finding enough domestic talent out of em
ployment to fill the rest of the bill. He
may save money by this arrangement, but
when his theatre relics on a “scratch”
company for the presentation of its plays
it nni9t abdicate its position as the lead
ing place of amusement in America.
THE ABDICATION WILL NOT BE IN FAVOR
of the Union Square Theatre, which ap
parently is to be conducted in future on
the same economical plan. At any rate,
Sheridan Shook announces that next week
will terminate the long career of the
Union Square Theatre Cotnpauy. This
will leave but five theatres, including the
neiv Lyceum, out of the fifteen or more in
the city with stock companies. What
better proof could be found that the the
atrical business does not pay nowadays?
If a manager’s lot is not a happy one,
and Townsend Percy, whose “lxion”
Company at the Comedy Theatre came to
griel the other day, will join in saying it
isn’t, actors and actresses are faring no
better. The fact that Mr. Wallack ex
pects next season to always find a suffi
cient number idle to fill his subordinate
parts shows how many are out of employ
ment now. Those who can are turning,
it seems, to other occupations. Lillian
Edgington, for instance, has opened a
boarding house in Denver. If she con
ducts it on the system of a Denver board
ing house I used to be acquainted with
she will certainly make more money than
she has recently as an actress.
IT IS THE FASHION JUST NOW FOR DOGS
to wear veils. The March winds are so
cutting that the Flora Me Flimsies of the
day protect their pets when they carry
them while walking by the same sort of
covering with which they shield their
own laces. While the spectacle is not an
edifying one, even to a lover of animals,
there is no denying that the spoiled pets
are in need ot such protection. Never
was such a March known. Tne oldest
inhabitant, even by relying on his imagi
nation in place of his memory, cannot
find its parallel. Not only has the ther
mometer registered colder weather than
all but the very coldest of the winter,
but the same degree of cold affects
one more than it did earlier in the
season. It is 6afe to say that New
Yorkers have suffered more from cold
the past three or four weeks than during
all the rest or the winter put together.
And since early in January the season
has been more than ordinarily severe.
This is shown by the unprecedented
death rate from pneumonia and other dis
eases due to the effect of low temperature
upon the system. There were 500 more
deaths in the first two months of the pres
ent year than there were in the corres
ponding period cf 1884, and the increase
was mainiy due to diseases produced by
the severe season. The death rate of the
present month ought to be even larger m
proportion. D.
