THE HISTORIC COLD SUMNER.

The summer of 1884 will pass into history
as a cool summer, though not an injuriously
cold one. 1t brings to mind the wintery
summer of 1916. There are persons now
living, children then, who will remember the
cold summer of 1916, and the distress, con-
sternaton, despair. and almost famine that
prevailed, "The end of the world'' was
then in near vision to superstitious people.
But since seed time and harvest have not
failed to come, and seasons of great fruit
fulness oft times filled the gamers of the
husbandmen.
The cold summer of 1916 has
no recollected parallel in this country
prior to that date, and certainly
has had none since. In that year early April
was mild, but its close wintry,in all New
England. In May buds and fruits were
frozen, ice formed half an inch thick corn
was killed, replanted and again killed and the
crop was a total failure. June was cold and
frosty, snow fell in Vermont to the depth of
ten inches; to the depth of seven inches in
Maine, and in Massachusetts and in middle
New York to the depth of several inches. A
A nerce cold Northern wind prevailed be-
numbing in its influence to man and beast.
The Boston Transcript relates that farm
err in Vermont sent flock of sheep, as
usual to their pasture about the middle of
June. On the 18th heavy snow storm fell
the cold was intense, and the owner started
away at noon to look for his sheep. ''Bet-
ter start the neighbors soon, wife," he said
jokingIy before leaving; sits the middle OF
June and l may get lost in the snow.' Night
came, the storm increased and he did not re-
turn. The next morning the neighbors
started out to look for the missing man. The
snow had covered up his tracks and not until
the end of the third day did they find him on
the side of a hill with both feet frozen, unable
to move. July was accompanied by frost
and ice. On the 9Th ice was formed of the
thickness of common window glass through
out New England, New York aud some parts
of Pennsylvania. September and October
were unusually cold. The lack of crops
created almost famine, and serious riots
occur ed in Great Britain in 1917, in conse-
queLce of the high price of bread. The aver
age price of -four in New York during Isle
was S13 barrel.

This is the cat in the meal tub, and this
explains the terror expressed by Republicans
over the alleged assertion of Mr.. Hendricks,
that there is to be clean SaCeeo OF the officers
In case of Democratic success.
AS matter of fact, there probably would
De some change in case the Democrats should
come into possession of the government.
There are important changes made wherever
one Republican administration goes out OF
power, and another is established. Thou
sands of officials are displaced to make room
Tor the favorites of the new administration.
Should Blaine succeed, it is very probable
that the favortes of Arthur would scarce
ly be allowed opportunity TO resign, but would
be thrown out sans cere,aone. 1t is not prob
able that, in case of Democratic succcss,there
would be many more changes than have hither
to been made every four years on the advent
of anew administration. The good of the SER
vice would demand removals. There is evil
dence that many of the departments are cor
rupt and that radical changes are most de-
sirable. 1t is only the drones, the political
favorites, the inefficient who have reason to
fear the accession of the Democratic party

lars are lavishly decorated with evergreen
and the national colors, while flags OF the
several nations futter from remnants on
various parts Of the structure. A conspicu-
Gus feature of the arch, aside from its gen.
eral beauty, consists in large and hfe-like
portraits of Pope Leo, Bishop Ireland and
Bishop Grace.
Among the most tasteful of the arches in
honor of the visitors is the one erected by
the st. Clements society at the corner OF
Seventh and John streets. The arch spans
the street in a massive but simple crescent,
being beautifully festooned with flags and
eyergreens. In the center at the apex is
cross on which are inscribed the letters S. G.
U. ", being the insignia of the society. On
the base of the pillars at either side are the
inscriptions, est. Louis 1855" and Est. Paul
1884,.
The entrance of Pfefer's hall, on Waba-
shaw, where the meetings are to be held, are
on scale of great beauty and magnificence.
The arrangements consist of platform and
triplleate arch, lavishly decorated with flags
and evergreens. The design is gothic, and
the appearance is extremely beautiful and
tasteful
The front entrance to Market hall, on
Seventh street, has also been finely decorated.
A triplicate arch rises in front at tie grand
entrance, and the display of flags, bunting
and evergreens is very lavish and beautiful.
The arches have been designed and con-
structed by Mr. F. Fliegner, the well known
decorator who has shown great taste, and
the display does him great credit.
AT the junction of Sibley street with Third
there is erected a finely proportioned arch,
decorated with American shields and large
stars and festooned with evergreens. The
cupoiaed columns which form the imposts of
the arch support the American shield. The
arch is painted and Of graceful outline. Over
the center is raised large Latin cross Upon
either facade between the intrados and eX-
trados is the inscription, ''Wellkomen in st.
Paul" The general effect is very light and
striking. Third street at the various points
is decorated with flags and evergreens and
an occasional star spangled banner hangs
aloft sweeping the entire width of the street.
The arch in front of John Lunkenheim's
place, No. $50 Wabasha street, is very beau
tiful and attracts great attention.
In addition to the above many of the stores
and private residences have been laYishly
decorated, the streets along the route of the
procession presenting veritable gala day
appearance.

GENIUS CAPACITY NOT INHERITED.

Wealth may be inherited but the capacity
to wisely use it is not equally certain to de-
scend from father to son. The recent fail
ure of large New York dry goods house is
attributed to the incapacity of the sons of
their deceased father to successfully conduct
the business.
a majority of the wealthy business men of
the country, now IN active vigor, have come
up from small beginnings, and from small
profits and persevering industry, shrewd-
uess and frugality have amassed wealth, and
achieved Influential and prominent business
positions.
But in majority of cases their sons do
rot develop their sterling qualities. The
sons of the wealthy are, in mistaken tender
ness, brought up efeminately, in idleness
and unthriftiness, not knowing the worth of
money, as tits said, and fall into habits of
dissipation, with no noble end in life in
view. The father dies. The fortune &C.
cumulated by his sagacity and industry il
soon dissipated and his heirs sink int
impecunious oblivion.
How few estates, great or small, in Amer
lea remain in the same family. It needs no
violent, lawless, communistic leveling down
of estates and properties for their general
and rapid distribution in community. Tn,
natural, quiet and silent comunistic system
of dissipation, idleness, lack Of capacity anC
general neglect Of sons, carries back anC
equalizes in general circulation the large &C
foundations of the fathers. Seldom do thV
sons of great men inherit the capacity ant
genius Of their sires, and they suffer in
their own littleness in comparison with tn,
distinction of their fathers, and those whC
otherwise might enjoy respectable mediocri
ty, are dwarfed, and ouly looked upon a
comparative pigmies.
Capacity, talent, cannot be purchas
ed, nor is it always Unborn, and th,
unhappy son of moderate eudowments, of
gifted and distinguish ed father, win Away
suffer in public estimation, and viii fail {.
reach APPOINT of consideration which nigh
have been attainable but for the misfortune
of high birth.
Let not the sons of lowly toll, whether il
physical or mental exertion despair, or &C
count their lot one Of exceptional disad
Fantages. The sons and daughters of tn
| rich ami gifted, are not always the mos

The Commercial Bulletin Of New York
figures the loss by fire in August within the
United States at so, 500, 600, making total
of $74, 600, 900 for the eight months ending
Aug. 81. For August this exceeds any
known previous record and for the eight
months it is S11, 900, 900 in excess of the
same period of last year. The total of fire
losses in this country last year was larger
than in any previous year except the years Of
the great Chicago and Boston fires, and, af-
ter all, the increase, except few heavy fires
last month and the great fires referred to,
may be attributed to the rapid increase of
combustible property and the more complete
reports received.

IuMAN II. WELLER of Iowa is generally
known as "Calamity'' Weller 1t is report
ed that this name grew out of a plea which
he made several years ago ia a suit against
him upon promissory note. In defense he
pleaded that in his youth a calamity fell up
on him in the shape OF a stone, which injured
his head SO that he became non conapOS Tnera-
lis, and therefore unable to make Il contract.
Notwithstanding this narrative Mr.. Weller
was regarded as good man to go to con-
gress and was elected by the 4th Iowa district
by about eight hundred majority.

Clnveland Serenaded.

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 6.-The Jacksonians,
a political organization, serenaded Governor
Cleveland tonight. The governor, as he
appeared, was saluted by band playing,
''See the conquering hero comes," and the
cheers of the crowd. Governyr Cleveland
acknowledged the compliment of the seren-
ade, and complimented the club on its hand
some appearance, expressing the hope that
the cause it so creditably represented might
be successful. The appearance of the gov
ernor and his remarks were greeted with
great enthusiasm
