Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, Jan. .12—Beyond doubt, larence, the Cop,“ has stepped out of the Post-Disp4tch’s comic supplement and found a job) at the White House. “He'll be transferred, ture, if he doesn’t watch out, for, within four days, he has stopped both President and Mrs. Roose- but the pet of the White House. . Mrs. Ro@sevelt had been out walking yesterday and returned by way of ‘the entrance at the executive offices. She was in a hurry, and tripped up the steps with the agility of a schdd! girl. ’ She wore a brown walking skirt, a black jacket and a plain black hat. with a heavy veil. Behind her, trotted the little black dog that is the special pet of the President's family. As she started up the stepa Policeman Will Wheeler walked toward her to head ner off. Wheeler is an old policeman, but has been on the White House detail med a few days. That's all right; that’s the * whispered one of the old guards, who was standing there. But Wheeler did not hear him. „Can't go through here, madam. The grounds are closed to the public,“ he said. “I know, but I live here,” replied the President's wife, amused, as she paused in front of the tall policeman. This is my home.“ ' Then Wheeler realized who she was and, with an expressive Oh,“ backed away, while Mrs. Roosevelt walked rapidly to- ward the White House with a smile that could be seen through her veil. ; The dog looked the policeman over end trotted after his mistress. Wheeler's face wore a wearie@ look when the veteran guard walked up to 5 with bim. “ghe won't mind,“ he said, “put I'll give with any one, let that person in. “That dog won't go with any one but some member of the family, and won't let any one else touch him. pa R Shag Beet gd erent el Senator * joa thy , f re , . 9.

St. Louis, with a temperature of 3 degrees at the coldest period, feels much less of the sting of the cold wave than do her neighboring cities. Kansas City is in the "sero belt. At Springfield, III., it is 4 below zero and the same at Keokuk, Io. Chicago has a record of 6 below, with the same at 9 Cincinnati's mercury is at sero. The coldest point in the United States ‘ol Morehead, Minn., where it is 18 degrees be- low zero. Freezing weather extends to the gulf, the temperature at Mobile being only 30 degrees. The low barometer is over the north At- lantic states, and the high over the South- west and the north Pacific region. Notwithstanding the bitter cold weath- er, there is not so much ice in the river as there has been during the past few weeks. Rivermen say that above Alton an ice gorge is forming, which keeps the ice from floating down. It is believed that the river will be closed very soon at that point. — FIVE BELOW AT MILWAUKEE.

The scarcity of fuel the dealers say is due as much to the lack of cars as to the limited output of the mines. the output of its own mines at Carter- ville, III., declares’ that it is practically ‘out of coal in St. Louis, although the com- pany mines 2500 tons daily. The Illinois Central railroad,. it is stated, has been unable to find cars to haul the coal to St. Louls. This condition has existed for two weeks. Many other coal dealers are experiencing the same difficulty. SHELTER FOR POOR. The police stations afford shelter during cold weather to many homeless persons. Free lodging is given to all who apply at the stations. There are no beds, but the poliqe guests are permitted to occupy vacant cells in the lock-ups, where there are benches on which to sleep; or! they may sit in chairs or stretch out on the floors in the corridors when the cells are full. There is at least the comfort of ‘warmth. Fitty slept at the Chestnut street sta- tion, 20 in the Central district station in the Four Courts building and 18 at the Carr street station. “The others were scatterpd throughout the city, Deer street station no free lodgers. The two shelters of the Provident As- sociation last night gave accommodations to s persons.

H. McClain states that the effect of the Sunday cold snap will not be fully felt by the association until to- morrow, when the applications for relief will be appreciably increased. Last week, he says. the applications were about double those of the previous week., 500 AT SALVATION QUARTERS. The Salvation Army operates two lodg- ing houses, where for & very small fee ehelter may be had, These are at Ninth and Market etreets and on Sixth street, next to Havlin's Theater.
