Fosters Forecasts.
COPYRIGHTED BY W. y. rosrER)

My last letter gave forecasts of
two storm waves, one to cross the
continent from the 2lst to 25th,
and the other from 9th to 3lst.
We now come to deal with Janua-
ry weather. The most interesting
weather events of the month will
occur after the 18th, when some of
the worst winter storms of recent
years will occur. The last days
of January will not soon be for
gotten by those who live in the
western part of the great valleys,
for notable blizzards will visit that
section not far from the 2Sth.
The first part of January prom
ises averege weather. A storm
wave will be due to reach our Pa
cifio coast about January l. 1t
will cross the Rocky mountains
about the I'd, the great central
valley from Sd to 9th and reach
the Atlantic coast about the 9th.
This storm will become very
fierce east of the Alleghenies
about the 9th, and the gale on the
lakes and the Atlantic will become
very dangerous to shipping.
1t will probably take northern
route causing quite warm weather
IN all the southern states during
the journey across the continent,
aud the cold wave following it
will not be 80 severe in the west
ern part of the great valleys, but
III Canada and on the great lakes
tha cold wave will he quite severe.
The cold wave following the
storm will cross the Rockies
about the Sd or 4th, the great val
leys about the 5th or 9th, and on
the 9th will reach the great North
ern lakes, causing at least a light
blizzard. This high barometer
will continue at considerable force
as it moves onto the Atlantic on
the 9TH, following in the path of
the low.
The southern states will get
some ram from this storm, bat
the disturbance will not greatly
affect that section and the precipi-
tation will incline toward high

the night. She Is here as decoy
for the gambler, the black mailer,
the back -slum confidence man and
robber. In short she ID a beauti-
full snare for all the foul traps and
fiendish dens where rum porter,
stout aleEand gin are sold or given
away to poison men. And behold
among the simple ones see
young man ''void of understand
ing" He comes sauntering down
the street looking this way and
that way. He is smiled upon by
the decoy in the lamp post shadow.
With her pretty face and fair
speech he is made to yield to her
entreaties, and he goes with her
as an OK to the slaghter or fool to
the correction of the stocks. Lat
er he is cast into the street penny
less, sick at heart and sore for he
fell among thieves. Solomon knew
the decoy well and warned young
men saying, "Let not thine heart
incline to her ways, go not astray
IN her paths for she hath cast
down many wounded; yea many
strong men havs been slain by
her. Her home Is the way to hell,
going down to the chambers of
death" | move on in my ram
bles of the night. The theaters,
are gathering in their usual
crowds and we follow the multi
tude and are soon seated in the
bright glow of an arc-light in the
renowned Alhambra theatre. A
thousand prisms suspended from
gentle swaying chandeliers reflect
their colors on box, palk, pit and
gallery. Youth age and beauty
are given over to the pleasures of
the hour. The band begins to
play and a thousand voices join in
the chorus of "God Save the
Queen" The curtain rises and
oh, what beauty is presented in
fairy costumes! What glitter in
gems and jowelsl what glow il
colored flashlights, and what
dreamy enchantment is seen in
back curtain scenery, and how
much love, romance, sunshine and
shadow is Represented before the
foot-lights Ali the emotions of
the soul seem to rise and change
with the rise and fall of the cur
tains We love, we hate, we pity
in compassion and denounce in
the Eeat of excitement. However
the curtain soon falls and we have
time TO reflect that all has been
but q well prepared myth which
for the time carr led away our emo
tions. Thus the play contiues un-
til eleven p. ~. when we retire to
the streets and continue our ram
ble, yet among very different
scenes. From this time until
morning we spend the hours
among the homeless outcasts who
pass most of their days and nights
in the highways and by-ways of
London. Here we ramble among
all classes among whom vice, want.
and bitter woe are seen in ali
stages from the foot lights to the
grave. RAMBLER.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Reg ular Correspo ndeut

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1, 1892.
The President will this wee k
send to Congress all of the CORES
pondence which has passed be-
tween this country and Chill, to-
gether with special message, in
which it is supposed that he will
make recommendation embody-
ing his ideas of the duty of Con-
gress in the premises. While this
does not necessarily mean war it
certainly points that way. About
the only basis for thinking that
war will he averted is the belief
that Chill will at the last minute
see the folly of going into war in
which she is bound to get thrash
ed. and make an abject apology.
Itis pleasing to note that the
President has the cordii.l support
not only of his own party, but of
many Of the prominent democrats
in Congress. One of the latter,
Representative McCreary, of Ken
tacky, who has for number of
wears been one of the leading
members Of the committee on
Foreign affairs of the House, said
on the subject: "Soon after Con-
gress reconvenes the President
will send the correspondence to
the two Houses and then We can
cons ider the matter with a better
unde rstanding. | believe that
the President has acted in vigo-
rous and manly way in this matter
/ am sure that the course ct the
United States will be digDifed, |
firm and courageous. Whatever
the result may b, / do not think
va can be charged with having
rush ed into war, or that we shall
Iuffer any loss Of dignity"

bearers ale hurrying on in ell di
lractions converting the darkness
into an artificial day. Far up over
all the city the electric lights flash
out in the dark sky with bright
ness that pale the moonlight and
the twinkling stars. A heavy haze
(Londou-fog) hangs over all and
even the sunlight is at times so
completely hid by it as to require
street lamps II the day time.
Hence the darkness of night dur

However the fog IS high aud

mace on their faces, the dust of the
mill and workshop On their
clothes and that weary step in
their walk which tells of honest
toll and the hard battle of life
which Is here being fought bv the
bread winners OF these thousand |
homes. Among this mixed mul-
titude VT find the factory girl
whose lot indeed is hard; long
hours and little pay is the price
she must pay to live life of pro-
prlety. The false allurements in
a life of sin in which the highest
price is paid to the newest appren-
tice Is ever before her, and many
are led away. Yet even then itis
charity to say, she is often more
than wroag, and even at
the worst he is more at fault who
pays to sin than she who sins for
pay, but to her sad misfortune So
;lety often exouerates the former
and ostraclses the latter. Here
We see the factory girl after years
