Evidently n Mistake.

Yesterday was to have been an eventful
day, according to Virgins, the weather man,
and James A. Bnek, of New York., Buck
predicted that the sun would cease to shine
in tho afternoon, and the world would be
left in total darkness for seven days. At
the expiration of that period he said
cyclones, lightning, and whirlwinds would
sweep over the face of the earth, killing all
living beings and annihilsting every struc.
ture, He was kind enough to qualify the
prediction by adding that If the sun did not
cease to shine on Friday it certainly would
the next day to-day. Virgins announced
that terrible hurricane would sweep down
the Atlantic coast yesterday and destroy
everything within reach. Up to midnight
neither prediction had been verified.

in the presence of the audience. This lee

especially to tho advanced grades of schools.
Tho proceeds will be devoted to the Metro
