TAKING HIS PICTURE.
Gen. Harrison Attacked by Eager Pho

Indianapolis Special to the New York Sun
Gen. Harrison found time to have his pieture
taken seventeen times to-day in spite of his
five hours of conference with the two Senators.
A definite hour was fixed, and Gen. Harrison.

and, throwing of his overcoat, said nervously:
Now, can give you just fifteen minutes. v
-Four photographers sprang to their cameras
like artillerymen to their guns First a camera
loaded for cabinet picture was touched OF.
The general never winked and submitted to be
pulled and twisted into one pose after another
until a whole battery Of cabinets and imperial
charges had been fired into him. Then the
four men rolled out a huge full-length camera
and prepared to sweep the field with it.
Il guess well stop here" said the general
'Oh, let us have one more chance" begged
the photographer. You have been sitting
less than five minutes, although don't doubt
it seems longer"
The general submitted silently. and in quick
succession half a dozen different charges from
the big gun were fred into him. When seven
teen plates in all had been taken the general
was permitted to go. The whole job had taken
less than six minutes. II hope they will be
satisfactory" was all the general said as he
hurried out and back to his house where the
two Senators were waiting for him. The plates
were shipped at once to Washington, and will

INAUGURATION WEATHER.
What the Signal Office Records Show
March 4 and April 80.

The signal Office contains among its records
some valuable information in regard to the
probabilities Of good or bad weather on Inaug-
uration day. A search into the figures has re-
Gently been made, and it has been found that
from 1872 to 1888, inclusive, the 4th of March
has been a clear day three times. fair day
ten times, and cloudy day six times. Rain or
snow has fallen on six out of a possible seven
teen days. 1t was thought that a better under
standing Of the weather on March 4 would
probably be had from an examination Of the
records for the day previous and the day fol-
lowing, and a search was again made with the
Following result: Including March 4, out of pos
sible ffty-one days eleven, or % per cent were
clear, rs or 81 per cent were fair, IA or "a per
cent were cloudy, and rain or snow fell on 20
days or 80 per cent of the whole number. The
daily mean temperature for March is 80 de-
Rrees, for March is Sc. and for March is S.
The highest daily mean temperature for March
I are IS degrees in 1880, "a degrees in 1874, 45
degrees in 1882, and As degrees in 1885. The
lowest were Is degrees in 1873, "A degrees in
1884, 20 degrees in 1872, 80 degrees in 1887 30
degrees in 1875, and 81 degrees in 1888, or IS
per cent of the whole number of days have a
mean temperature Of less than 80 degrees
March 4, 1873, is the coolest Of the seventeen
years here considered.
Some idea of the severity of that day NAV be
gained by the fact that the temperature of the
air IN the morning was only degrees above
zero, at midday 16 above, and the highest
reached during the day was but 20 degrees
above Zero 1t will also be remembered that a
strong northwest wind blew throughout the
day, reaching a maximum velocity Of 28 miles
per hour at noon and at no time during the day
falling below 20 miles per hour.
In view of the attempts of thin-blooded
Americans to obtain a change of date for the
Inauguration from March to April 30. a search
was also made into the weather records of the
latter date. II was found that April 80 has
been clear day nine times, fair day five
times, and a cloudy day three times in the past
seventeen years. Rain has fallen ON but two
Of the seventeen days. Including April 80 and
May with the above, it is found that out of
possible ffty-one days. nineteen or 81 per cent
were clear, nineteen or 81 per cent were fair,
thirteen or IS per cent were cloudy, and rain
fell on ten or 20 per cent of the whole number
Of days. 1t was then calculated that the prob
ability of rain is just so per cent less on April
30 than on March 4. The daily mean tempera-
ture Of April 20 is Sc deg. April 80 is 81 deg;
May is 81 deg. The highest daily mean tenn
peratures for April 30 "a in 1885; IA in 1888;
81 in 1878 and 1879; 60 in 1872 and 1878. The
lowest daily mean temperature for April 80 are
40 in 1888; so in 1876; 81 in 1874; 50 in $780,

Cornell Loses a Rich Plum.

THE UNIVERSITY FORBIDDEN TO RECEIVE MRS.
MGRAw FIsKEs 81, 500 900 LEGAcIEs.
An Albany special to the New York Herald
says: Cornell university has lost the 81 SOC, 900
bequeathed to it by Jennie McGraw Fiske In
the court Of appeals decision has been handed
down affirming the findings of the courts below.
Justice Peckham, who writes the decision
which will make the university men wall. holds
that Cornell university is, by the provisions of
its charter, limited strictly to the possession
of $4,000 900 worth of property. The opinion
states that at the time that Mrs Fiske made her
will the university already possessed more
property than the aggregate permitted by its
charter. Consequently it cannot take the vari-
Gus legacies bequeathed by her.
Mrs. Fishes will set aside $3.50 900 for specific
funds. and provided that the balance of the
estate left after paying other legacies should
also go to Cornell university. These requests
would have made Cornell university one of the
richest in this country. Gov. Hill was one of
the counsel originally retained in the case.

The Traveller published the official report of
