Weather and Common Sense.

II does not always require that a
man should be a prophet TO make a
shrewd guess as TO what the weather
will be some months in advance.
There are probabilities, we will not
say certainties, regarding times and
seasons that are obvious to every one
who knows the difference between
storm and calm, heat and cold. We
know, for instance, that one extreme
is likely to follow another. If one
winter is extremely cold it is highly
probable il will be followed by another
correspondingly moderate. An unu-
sually cold wave, so called, will gen.
orally be succeeded by a spell of
weather of great mildness for the sea
son. To a very dry season, or a sue
cession Of dry seasons, there is sure to
succeed a period Of weather to make
up the deficiency Of rainfall. II any
particular spring is cold and wet and
late, we may generally expect that the
succeeding autumn will be warm and
pleasant. and that winter will be slow
In coming. IL the entire year should
be bad on account of the excessive
cold or unreasonable storms, the COM
~pensation may not come till the next
year, but that il will come in time is
as sure as that the sun will continue
to rise and set. II is one of the first
laws of nature that rain shall alternate
with sunshine, storm with calm and
heat with cold, and it is by studying
these movements of the elements more
closely than the rest of mankind that
some pretended weather prophets have
occasionally succeeded in coming
somewhere near the truth in their pre-
dictions.-San Francisco Chronicle.

HEBREW HISTORY.
Mr.. SchcIuman Delivers an Interesting
Lecture on the SubjecI.

MIR. SchcIuman Delivers an Interesting
Lecture on the Subject.
The first of series of lectures was given
yesterday afternoon before the Young Mems
Hebrew Debating Society at their rooms,
3S4 Fifth avenue, by Mr.. J. G. Scheinnan.
The subject was, "a Glance at Hebrew His
tory Since the Dispersion" Mr.. Schein-
man took up his subject, beginning with the
year 20 of the present era, and referred to
the revolt against the Romans under the
championship of Barcochba, who proclaimed
himself the messiah of the prophets. He
then referred to the establishment Of the
celebrated school in Tiberias and Babylonia,
from whence sprung the stupendous mass of
literature known as the Talmud. The ac-
QUESTION of wealth and influence by the
Hebrews for several centuries previous to
the development of Christianity; the cause
OF the intellectual and physical isolation of
the nation for centuries following; their
subsequent suferings and prosecutions IN
der the Roman Empire, and their expulsion
from England, France and Spain were
touched upon.
The Young Mems Society has been re-
Gently organized with view to promote
mutual improvement and the study of He
brew literature and history. The officers are:
President, S. Cohen; Vice President, J.
Finkelpearl; Secretary, L. Scheinman;
Treasurer, c. Rosenbaum. The society
starts out with membership of about 40.
1t is the intention to fit up a library and
reading room.

TRACTION ROAD TROUBLES.
The Employees May Strike for the superIn-
rendent's Removal.

The Employees May Strike for the Superin.
rendent's Removal.
The discomfort among the employees of the
Citizens Traction Company, which has
been simmering for some time past, is said
to be rapidly approaching boiling point.
The trouble, it is claimed, is due to the
change in the management, and dates from
the time that Superintendent Rugg took
hold of the active management vice Mr..
Murray Werner
A number of the men seen last night drew
some contrasts between the conditions of
affairs which existed under the regime of
the latter gentleman and the manner in
which the business Of the road was con-
Quoted at present, and which were rather
unfavorable to the gentleman who, at pres
ent, actively represents the company,
When Mr.. Rugg began to operate the
cable road in Boston the men under his
direction were well organized, had the sup
port of strong union and were contented,
but that in very short time affairs took a
different aspect. They were frequently at
finally Mr.. Rugg succeeded in breaking up
the union and introducing scab labor.
They think that similar state of affairs
may result here.
The employees of the Citizens Traction
Company are beginning to regard them
selves as having strong grounds for COM
plant against the present superintendent,
and it was more than limited last night that
unless things ran along more smoothly in
the future, they would move for his re-
moval by going on strike. One Of their
chief grounds for complaint is the number
of discharges which they say have occurred
of late, and which the men claim were arbi-
trary. Some of the conductors laid off have
been reinstated. but others have conceived
themselves to be SO aggrieyed as to refuse to
again work for the road. One instance was
related of conductor who was dismissed
for indulging in drink while wearing the
uniform Of the company, though he was at
the time off duty
Some of the directors seen expressed them
selves as fully satisfied with the manner in
which Mr.. Rugg was conducting the affairs
of the company. An effort was made to see
the superintendent in his own defense, but
he could not be found.

Times on Sunday.
Mr.. S. n. Bedikian, of Constantinople,
delivered an address in the Mt Washing
ton Presbyterian Church last night on the
"Native Religions and Mission Work in
Turkey" Mr.. Bedlkian appeared before
the audience dressed in the habiliments of
his native country. He stated that there
are three religious sects in Turkey-the
Jewish, the Mohammed and the Christian
Mr.. Bedikian paid particular attention to
the customs of the Mohammedans.
'These," said he, ''go to church five
times a day. Imagine Americans being
compelled to do this Twice is as often as
they can endure, and they complain then if
the sermon is little too long. The Mo-
hommedans always wash their feet, face and
hands each night before retiring. They eat
no pork. Mutton is preferred. They eat
very little beef. And L can very readily
understand why there are so many dentists,
and so many mouths full of false teeth in
America. 1t is all on account of the guam
tity of tough beef consumed.
"Intoxication is so absolutely prohibited
by the Mohammedan religion that if sheep
has been known to drink from river in
which even drop of liquor has been split,
it is considered unfit for sacrifice. The great
hindrance to mission work among the Mo-
hammedans is the fact that there is so much
drunkenness in the civilized nations, and
SO long as saloon exists in one of these
they will hesitate to accept the Christian
religion. AS they become enlightened, how
ever, they endeavor to pattern after Ameri.
can customs and habits of living. They try
very hard to initiate the missionaries. -

PLEASANT WEATHER AHEAD.

Some of the Abandoned River Signal Sta.
Iious to be Restored.
The cheerful information that the beauti-
full weather of yesterday is to continue for
several days was given out at the Signal
Service Bureau last night. The tempera-
ture was 46 at o'clock in the morning, but
it raised somewhat later in the day. The
rainfall of the night before was fifty-three
hundredths of an inch, and at 3 o'clock
there was a stage of 6 feet in the rivers. The
indications are that there will be a scant
coalboat rise-probably or feet.
Advices have been received from the de-
partment at Washington to the effect that
several of the signal stations that were sban-
doned some time ago are to be re-estab-
lished. From the first of December until
April 81 next full reports will be received
from Il stations. Those that are to be re-
vived are the. ones at Warren, Parker,
CLARION, Brownsville. Salisbury, Green's
boro, Rowlesburg and Weston. Steps will
probably be taken to have the station at
Johnstown re-established. The present ap-
preparation does not provide for this one nor
the one at West Newton. Nothing can be
done for the latter place until after the close
of the present fiscal year, which ends July
1, 1890.
The weather crop bulletin for the month
of October shows that the weather swas
cooler than usual in all agricultural dis
tricts. The line ofkilling frost has extended
South to the northern portion of the Gulf
States. Light frosts occurred as far south
as Southern Alabama, Central Georgia and
Northern Louisiana. There was less rain
in October than usual in the central valleys.
The greatest rainfall was in California,
where it exceeded six inches. The drought
condition which existed in the central
valleys has been succeeded by rains, which
have greatly improved the condition Of the
winter wheat crop.

A Pair of Daylight Robbers Taken Red

Officer Edward Cross was notified by resi-
dents near the corner of Wylie avenue and
Elm street, about IL A. M. yesterday, that
two gentlemen were making forenoon call
upon McSteen's grocery store, at the corner,
without the formality of notifying the pro-
prietor, and they were afraid the visitors
would not be properly entertained, as they
were going in the back way.
Officer Cross at once started for the rear of
the building, and two men skipped out as he
entered. He gave chase, and, drawing his
revolver, ordered them to stop, which they
did, and returned, one throwing something
over fence on Elm street as he approached,
The officer took both men to Central station.

William Welsh, from Newark, N. j., and
charge of suspicious persons was placed
against them. On searching the ground
where Welsh threw the small object over
the fence Officer Cross found key, which
fitted the rear door of the grocery. The
New Jersey men will probably enjoy Penn
sylvania hospitality for some time to come.

FRIGHTENED TO SUICIDE.
The DenIh of Henry FeIdam, OF Plttsburg,
in the Wheeling JaiI-DenOuemen of n
Ghasfly Joke.


The DenIh of Henry FeIdam, OF Pittsburg,
in the Wheeling JaiI-Denouement of n
Ghasily Joke.
Particulars were yesterday received from
Wheeling in regard to the suicide of Henry
Feldam, of Pittsburg, in the Wheeling jail,
which was briefly noted in the Sunday DIS
PATCH. The man. it appears, was fright
ened into hanging himself.
Feldam was peddler. He sold writing
paper, envelopes, handkerchiefs, suspenders,
etc. He went to Wheeling about two weeks
ago, and the money he made there he spent for
liquor. Last Friday night he was found in
North Wheeling in company with young
girl. He was under the influence of strong
drink, and he was booked at the North
Wheeling lookup for drunkenness. While
he was being searched q crowd of the
curious gathered about. Feldsm asked
someone what punishment he would proba-
bly get. One man replied, jokingly, "Oh.
about 10 years" Another man added, "If
the people get hold of you they'll hang
you"
Feldam was frightened by these remarks,
and short time after he was put into cell,
he was seen standing upon a box, with a
piece of small cord about his neck, looking
for a place to which to fasten the other end.
Not long after that he was removed to the
lookup in the City Hall, and there put into
a cell alone. About ten minutes after z
o'clock Saturday morning Lookup Keeper
Meehan discovered Feldam hanging by
short rope fastened to one OF the bars at the
top of the cell door. The prisoner was at
once cut down. His body was warm, but as
soon as doctor arrived he declared life ex-
tinct. The hemp cord with which the ped
dler hanged himself must have been tied
around his waist, as nothing of the sort was
in his pockets when he was searched 81 The
remains, after being seen by the Coroner,
were turned over to G.. Mendel & Co., un-
dertakers, for interment. No trace of any
relatives could be secured, and the peddler
was buried as pauper. When arrested he
gave the name Henry Shelton, but papers
in his pockets contained the name Henry
Feldam.
The discovery of the dead body in the
lookup was a tragical realization of a CHASTITY
joke of the day preceding. On the night
OF Halloween boys had hanged dummy
man to tree in East Wheeling. A police
man captured it, and carried 1t to the lock-
up. There some of the officers hanged the
efigy in cell, and on Friday morning gave
out the word that prisoner had committed
suicide. Scores of people crowded to the
Jail to see the corpse. Twenty-four hours
later an actual dead man was hanging in
the cell. Nobody went in this time, because
they believed it was the same old joke.

Mrs. Ann O'Rourke, a woman about 60
years old, was found dead in her kitchen,
before the stove, at noon yesterday. She
lived in a two-story frame house on Wabash
avenue, near Independence street, West
End. A policeman who was informed of
the woman's death notified DR.. T. NJ. RyalI,
who examined the body. The woman had
been dead very short time. The doctor
thought the cause of death was neuralgia
of the heart. She had been lighting the fire
to prepare dinner when she fell
Mrs. O'Rourke had lived for many years
in the West End. She had four children.
A grown son and grown daughter do not
live at home. Another son, George, is a
teaser in the mill of j. Painter & Sons. The
third son is u years old. Both boys living
at home were out OF the house at the time of
their mothers death.
Nearly three years ago some of the Neigh
bors called the attention of the Humane So
ciety to the treatment which Mrs O'Rourke's
husband was receiving. When an investi-
cation was made. the old man was found
confined in an apartment in the basement
of the house. He was in poor health,
ragged and filthy. He had been kept there
for three months on meager food. He was
unable to work and. was sent to the Poor
Farm. The Coroner will investigate Mrs.
O'Rourke's death to-day.
