Chicago has to report the startling fact that 11 persons have frozen to death in the city within 24 hours. And while this drama of death is on, thousands of -arlotfds of coal are lying within a few utnes of the court home. City officials arid charitable organizations, backed by hundreds of generous citizens and thousands of sympathetic laborers, arc working day and night to bring relief. They are , doing vast good for the destitute, but until they have the hearty co-opera;

It is claimed that another railroad is bolding 1J00 cars at Wildwood, and that still another has 1.000 cars at the
