A .,Jesuit MeteorOlOgist.

Padre Vi.es, a celebrated Jesuit priest
in Havana, has for the past quarter OF
century been making weathe predictions
at Havana.
1t was the padre who predicted hurri-
cane. and the reports from Havana veri-
fed the prediction. He is regarded by nav
igators and meteorologists all over the
world as one of the most correct and relia-
bic of weather scientists of the age.
For the past quarter OF century Father
Vines has made this work purely labor
OF love. He is a highly cultured gentle
man, unassumng and profound scholar.
Fully approaching the valuable services
rendered by the padre some time since, the
United States government offered him
handsome salary in recognition OF his past
services. This offer he promptly declined,
because the rules of the Jesuits' order pro-
hibited it.
Capt. J. McBaker, OF the steamship
Hutchinson. of the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn, is we'll acquainted with the padre,
and in speaking of him said: "For the
many years that have been navigating
the Gulf have never touched at Havana
without calling on the padre when the op-
portunity presented itself. During the
hurricane season his opinion is always anx-
iously sought after. Before the connec.
tions with the Windward Islands were
perfected the padres predictions were al
ways looked for anXiously by navlSators.
Today the cables only recently laid give
him a large scope and make his forecasts
more reliable and important to com

An Enjoyable Occasion Mt q Portrait Presen-
tati,n Last Night.
Thanksgiving eve is always joyful occasion
at the Young Woman's Christian Home No
404 9th street, and last night it was more than
ordinarily so, for the founder of the home was
especially honored. There was no such home
four years ago. but Mrs NJ. G. Wilkinson seeing
the great necessity which existed went ener-
getically to work, and after many tribuia.ions
succeeded in establishing an institution which
is regarded Us one Of the mos. useful in all the
long line of home missionary effort In order
that the occupants of the home should for all
time become acquainted with the face of their
original benefactor the trustees last night pre-
scented to the home fine crayon portrait of
the presentation and voiced the appreciation of
all the interested parties. In responding to Major
Morgan's address Mrs. Wilkinson told the story
OF the struggles on which the institution was
founded, and sketched the growth OF interest
and material welfare. An original poem was
recited by Miss McLaren and an address was
delivered by Mrs VIM. B. Gurley, president of
the board of trustees.
One of the big features of the evenings
pleasure was the reception of baskets laden
with provisions. This always takes place the
night before Thanksgiving and the festival
annually increases in magnitude. Last night
more than one hundred and fifty baskets made
their appearance-contribute by generous
residents Of the District.

THE WASHINGTON PKEsBYrrRY.
Its Sessions ON the Revision of the Confession
Of Faith Closed.


The presbytery of this city closed its sessions
yesterday nfter concluding the consideration
OF the proposed revision of the confession OF
faith. An afternoon session was held, ut which
the final proposed substitutes were taken up and
acted upon.
Or. Hamlin proposed the omission OF the
word "alr' from the mention Of infants dying
in infancy in the third section, because the
Scriptures make no mention Of the number.
The presbytery concurred. !
"Papists and other idolaters" was stricken
by unanimous consent from the chapter on
marriage and divorce. The reference to the
pope as anti-Christ provoked discussion and
was changed to a statement Of his claims ''as
unwarranted in Scripture or in fact, and a
usurpation dishonoring to the Lord Jesus
Christ"
A number Of moro or less important verbal
changes were recommended.
Dr.. Hamin showed that with but one excep-
ton the amendments had been made by two
thirds vote and tho report, al whole, was
adopted.
The presbytory then adjourned.
