The cola iravo which steadily crept Into

night, sendlntr the temperature down by
8 o'clock this morning 'to 28 degrees, a
point a degrees below the 61 degrees of S
o'clock yesterday morning, will take n.
firmer grip "Pon Philadelphia today, tho
forecaster said, and ho predicts a further
droo of at least 10 or 12 degrees within
the W hours ending at S o'clock tomorrow
i "rhg cold wave will bo tho most severe
In this city of tho winter, according to
all signs. High winds nro on their way
with possible snow fluriea and cloudy
skies, though "clear and cold" for today
seemed more probable than a storm. This
was hulled by physicians as a good thing,
as clear, cold and dry weather for sov
eral days would do more than anything
else to put an end to tho grip and pnou
rnonla epidemic.
The highest temperature yesterday waa
63 degrees at 9:30 a. m. It was "like
soring" and thcro was "a good deal of
crip In tho air." The situation seemed
hopeless. Every ono longed for a good,
honest cold wave. River men wanted a
Btorm or heavy winds to clear away the
fogs that hampered shipping. Thon sud
denly the weather bureau promised to
please everybody nt once, and the tem
perature began to drop.
Slowly the mercury fell until at 11
o'clock last night the freezing point was
reached. It had fallen four more degrees
by breakfast time.
The bitter cold In tho West has been
accompanied In certain sections by rain
and snowstorms. Railroad schedules, de
moralized yesterday, were somen hat Im
proved today, but telegraph wires nro
down at many points. Temperatures of
from 50 to 43 degrees below zero were
commdn In tho northern central States.
Iowa, the Dakotns and Minnesota are
the worst sufferers, with sudden drops of
U degrees to below-zero temperatures.

of the opportunity to arouse tho enthusi

made a brief acknowledgment, In which
ho said i ,
"This Is not my meeting, but Mr. Sun
day's nnd yours. I am hero as you arc,
merely as an auditor. I am hero for much
the same reason as brings you here, t
take it ne nro all Interested In good citi

of tho Golden Eagle from Trenton nnd

told tho audience he had never witnessed
such patriotic demonstrations as thoso
which have greeted him slnco coming to
Trenton.
Concluding hli sermon with n prayer,
"Billy" sounded his call for trall-hltters,

Judge Lamorelle, of tho Orphans' Court,
probably will be asked to docldo tho mean

They live around the corner from ench

houso Squnro and tho daughter at 135
South 18th street.
Tho amount Involved In tho disposition
of tho cstnto Is $:.000,000.
Mr. Hunter when he mado his will said
In one part of his document that ho
wanted tho Htock of tho company dis
posed of In tho best possible wny, but
that preference should bo shown to his
old nnd trusted cmplojes.
Now It happens that tho employes have
made what Is said to be an udvantagcoui
offer for the stock, but not the best offer.
Therefore to show preference to the em
ployes would not be to dlsposo the
stock In tho best possible way, ant vicq
versa, to dispose of it In the best poislble
way would not be showing the required
preference to cmplojes.
Tho Into Mr. Hunter's widow, It Is said,
wants the clause Interpreted for tho bene

Davis, wnnts It Interpreted tho other way.
The employes who have bid on tho

A problem that Is facing the Department
of Health In the fight against grip Is the
shortngo of nurses. Tho cpldcmlo has
reached such proportions that thero are
not enough nun.es to meet tho demand.
About 10 per cent, of tho homes afflicted
with grip cases cnlllng for nursing arc
without tho service. No sooner do tho
nurses finish on ono case than they nre
Immediately called on another. Tho d -rectory
