AVALANCHE OF PARCELS.
Swamps tlie Delivery Force of Express
Companies in New York.
New York, Dec. 24. Express com
panies and suburban package carriers
doing business in this city have been
swamped in an avalanche of Christmas
packages. Mountains of parcels are
piled up in the transfer office, and
although extra men and wagons are
at work the accumulation seems to
grow larger instead of smaller.
That many parcels containing gifts
will not be delivered before the middle
of next week is admitted by the ex
press officials. Delivery systems oper
ated by many of the large retail shops
will be at work throughout Sunday
and Monday in the hope of catching
up.
Christmas shopping reached its
high tide on Friday and, according to
merchants in the retail district, the
sales this year have passed all records.
From early in the morning until 10
o'clock at night crowds of eager buy
ers filled the stores. Articles suitable
for gifts were snapped up hurriedly
and the unprecedented demand left
many stores short of goods that are
ordinarily left over to be disposed of
at bargain sales after the holidays.
Men who were caught in the vor
tex of a crush of women shoppers in
narrow aisles or near the elevators of
the big stores wished they had re
mained at home. Sidewalks in the
shopping district were moving masses
of humanity. Surface cars and ele
vated trains were jammed with pas
sengers and the subway shared in the
crush. When the homeward rush of
workers began at night the crush was
frightful.
Merchants of many years experience
said that the Christmas buying this
year was begun earlier than usual and
that everybody seemed to have money.
Purchases were made on a liberal
scale, and the sales this year were of
a more substantial character than ever
before. Large jewelry houses report
the best holiday trade in years and the
fur trade, which last year was near
disaster, is now said to be in a pros
perous condition.
Christmas celebrations will begin at
churches, Sunday schools and clubs
this evening. There will be special
services in the churches tomorrow
with elaborate musical programmes,
and on Monday many dinners to the
poor will be given.
Today the venders of food expect to
reap their harvest for it will be the
greatest market day of the year. Dur
ing this week 2,150,000 turkeys and
chickens have come to the city, and
408,000 of the turkeys out of this vast
stock, representing an expenditure of
about $800,000, will be consumed at
the Christmas dinners. The turkey
price is below that of Thanksgiving
time, and about the same as it was a
year ago. Good hen turkeys are sell
ing at 25 cents a pound, the price run
ning from 22 to 28 cents. .Roasting
chickens are selling at from 17 to 20
cents; ducks are 22 cents and the best
geese 20 cents. Canvas back ducks
are S4.50 and mallards $1.50 a pair.
Quail are $4.50, snipe $3.50 and rail
birds $1.50 a dozen.
Death Valley.
"Black Pete, the Scout," as Peter
Blitz, of Bisbee, Ariz., is called in the
wilds of the southwest, is accompany
ing H. M. Whitney, of St. Louis, and is
stopping at th Republican House, in
teresting local capital In mining pro
positions. "Many a time have I crossed
Death Valley," said the scout, "It is a
stretch of sand- perhaps 320 miles long
and eighty miles wide and has swal
lowed up the lives of hundreds of pro
spectors. But it is the richest stretch
of land in the world today. There are
veins of ore which would produce un
told wealth, and the attention of cap
italists Is being directed toward It from
all parts of the world. The great dan
ger is from the sandstorms. A party
can pitch camp in the desert and start
out prospecting and come back to find
that the camp has entirely disappeared

from the face of the earth. Sand dunes
from five to twenty-five feet high sweep
over the desert, changing the surface
of the land from day to day and entire
ly obliterating all landmarks. The gov
ernment is now engaged in erecting tall
flagpoles which can be distinguished
above the shifting sands and a railroad
across the desert which will provide
water is being planned.
"I was a government scout from 1866
to 1884 and fought under Gens. Custer,
Miles, Forsyth, 'Buffalo Bill' and many
others fighting Apaches and Navajo
Indians. There is no longer any dan
ger from the Indians in that section
now, but there is in Mexico, where the
Yaqui tribe is located. They are shrewd
and industrious and intelligent, and
when the whites attempt to dislodge
them from their lands there will be
trouble. Occasionally the Arizona In
dians get restive, and when they find
a prospector alone in the hills they
gather him in, but the line riders who
patrol the boundary line between this
country and Mexico are always on the
alert and no one can cross their path
without their knowing it," Milwaukee
Wisconsin.
As to Cyclones.
"As to them things they call cy
clones," said the Arkansas squatter, "I
saw one several years ago, and I don't
keer to have another come along. Me'n
the old woman had been grouty at
each other for a week, and one
mawnin, when I had accidentally trod
on her foot she turns and says:
"'Jim Harkins, are you a man?'
" 'I reckon I are, I replied.
" 'Then step out in the open and
prove it.'
"I peeled off my coat and jacket,
and we went out doahs and spit on
our hands and sailed in. It had never
been quite decided who bossed that
roost, and we meant to know befo'
we got through that mawnin'. We
fit in the cornfield, and I reckon we
trod down half an acre of the corn
in fifteen mints.
"I'm willin' to admit she was havin'
a leetle the best of it when I heard a
roarin' in the air. and next minit one
o' them cyclones come screamin' in
from the river. I throwed myself
down and hung to a root, but the old
woman looked around to see what was
happenin' and she was picked up like
a feather and carried away, and I
have never set eyes on her since."
"Just blown right away, eh?" he
was asked.
"Jest blowed away like a feather,
sah, and I never could find hide nor
ha'r of her mangled remains. Excuse
these tears, but they will come when
I think of poor old Sue."
"Yes, it is sad. She must have been
somewhat surprised."
"Yo" kin jest bet s"he was! She had
her fingers all spread out to clutch
my ha'r, and she was sayin' as how
she'd make a mortal wreck of me,
when thar" come a whiff! whiff! and
she was gone. She must have been
powerfully surprised but the wind
bloweth whar" she listeth,- and the
ways of Providence ar' past findin'
out, and If you want to stop to sup
per I'll only charge you two bits
for it."
"I was much afflicted with sciatica,"
writes Ed C. Nud, Iowaville, Sedgwick
Co., Kan., "going about on crutches and
suffering a deal of pain. I was Induced to
try Ballard's Snow Liniment, which re
lieved me. I used three 50c bottles. It
Is the greatest liniment I ever used: have
recommended It to a number of persons:
all express themselves as being benefited
by it. I now walk without crutches, able
