A Sudden Summons

About 8 O'Clock last night Mrs. Owen
Mahon was on her way home from a
visit to her daughter. When she reached
Franklin avenue, between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth avenues, she was seen
to stagger and fall. A pedestrian ran
to her assistance and was Mortified TO
find her dead. Coroner Byrnes was no.
tilted. He examined the unfortunate
lady and found death was due TO valvu-
lar disease Of the heart. He ordered
her body taken to the family residence
al 923 Minnehalia avenue.

A Small Fire.

The fire department was called to the
corner of Sixth avenue south and Wash
lngton shortly after Q o'clock last night
to eXtinguish a blaze over McGnire,s
saloon, next to the Sixth Avenue hotel.
BY the time the department reached
there the flames had communicated to
the second story of the frame building
adjoining the saloon. Prompt applica-
ton of several streams of water soon
put an end to it all, and the damage
was slight.

THE LAWS"
Two Men Arrested for Drinking
Beer i'm the Park.

Two farmers from Osseo walked into
the city yesterday afternoon. Before
leaving, their wives fixed them up a
substantial lunch to eat on the way. A
bottle of beer formed a part of the
lunch. When the two farmers, whose
names are Il. Johnson and S. Thompson,
got as far as the Lake Harriet boule-
ward they felt they needed something
to eat Seating themselves upon the
rich green carpet skirting the boule-
ward, they spread their lunch and pro-
ceeded to feast. Of course they drank
the beer. A park policeman, Morris by
name, saw the men at their lunch. He
saw a chance to distinguish himself and
show his authority. 1t is against the
law to drink beer on the park boule-
wards and the officer knew it. He ar
rested the two OsseO farmers and
dragged them to the central station,
where they were locked up. They were
afterward released on bail, two very in
dignant farmers. Johnson is a well-to-
do farmer and is sixty-three years of
age.

THE Glory OF HICKS

That redOubtable weather prophet, Rev.
Irl r. Hicks, may not be cheerful, but he
is certainly industrious and wholly disin-
terpsted in the matter of scattering death
and destruction broadcast Not content
with devoting the people to floods and
snow in May, he must needs plunge us in
more distress in June.
The trouble with Hicks is that his proph-
eeies have disagreeable way of coming
true. On the 10th of May he wrote a
forecast for June, in which he said we
would have reactionary storms on June
81 and Sd, and he added that the
moon would 'help to precipitate
storms sharply on those dates. -

THE TRANSIENT PRESENT.

A few weeks ago, while workmen were
excavating some of London's streets to
put down sewers, the discovery of un-
doubted mammoth remains was made
What tremendous leap back into the
darkness of the past the finding of these
bones involves! London to-day, with its
hundreds of acres of buildings and it's
miles upon miles of streets, gives place in
the minds eye to scenes of which nothing
is known. Before the Romans invaded
the island, even long before the advent of
the wood-stained Britons with their druid
led rites around rude altars and in
the shade of oak groves, these mon
sters walked abroad Were there men on
the islands in those days? Was the island
indeed at that time more than corner of
vast continent? Man feels his littleness
and youth in the suggestion of such ques-
tons, and yet marvels at the progress of
his handiwork.
Macaulay's prophecy of the New Zeal
ander visiting London's ruins, and gazing
around him at the slight evidence of past
greatness is here reversed. Londoners
visit in Imagination the abysmal depths Of
prehistoric times, and, after giving the
matter passing thought, go on to their
everyday occupations as though there had
never been other conditions of life, and
fancying that the things of to-day are the
facts of all the ages.

Short Work Made by the Senate OF Some
of the Important Bills.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Senate was in
session to-day an hour and 90 minutes. The
urgent deficiency bill, approprtating over
S700O,000 for the present fiscal year, was
passed without n word of discussion. The
Legislative and the agricultural appropria-
tion bills, and the two bills for the admission
of New Mexico and Arizona as States, came
from the House and were referred to appro-
pirate committees. Then two speeches were
made on the silver question. one by Mr..
Morgan, and the other by Mr.. Jones, of
Arkansas. MIR. Morgan gave some pretty
broad hints of his determination to draw
out the views OF certain Democratic Sena-
tors on the silver question:. and referred in,
cidentally to the pleasure he would expert
ence in aiming arrows at Mr.. Sherman If the
Minneapolis Convention would honor that
Senator as its standard bearer.
In the House to-day the floor was accorded
to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr..
Oates, of Alabama, called up, and 1t was
passed, n bill modifying the revised statutes
so much as to dispense with proof OF loyalty

The first political National Convention in

THE PROPHECIES OF HICKS

How He Foretold the Storms Of the Past
Ten Days aud Talks of More.
Those who have been signing and longing
count for the prevailing stormy weather, and
of all the unpleasant weather we have been
having. Here are the facts:
The last storm period for May ended about
the 3Oth, and the next storm period COM
menced on the 7th and extends to the 18th.
This last period is at the exact electrical
crisis of the June solstice, during which
many storms, heavy rains and wonderful
displays of lightning will be natural. This
prediction covers most parts of the country,
and all will hear of thom within go hours of
6 P. M. on the 9th. High temperature will
also prevail throughout the storm period.
After a short period of cooler, fair days,
warm weather with storminess and showers
will return on or about the 10Th. In all
probability the storm period and shoWery
conditions will continue uD to the next reg
ular storm period.
The earth reaches the turning point in its
progress around the sun on the 2lst. which
is about the center of regular storm peri
cd. Therefore. we may expect storms from
the 10Th to the 23d almost without fail. A
marked feature OF all the storms and wind
currents will be tendency to whirl sudden
ly and violently backward after passing
eastward of the observer After this period
has subsidized, and reactionary storms have
subsidized on or about the 25th, we
may look for the coming of very warm, set
tied dry weather. This forecast ia based on
the tendency of the storms in whirltng back

general dry weather that has prevailed In

SIDNEY DILLON'S death

SIDNEY DILLoN's death removes a
notable figure. During more than fifty
years he had been engaged in the construc-
tion and management Of railroads. He has
been instrumental in the building of more
miles Of track than any other man, ana he
owed his wealth and his power to his own
genius and labor. The geographical condi-
tions of this country make its railroads OF gu
preme Importance. The same circumstances
involve the concentration of power in the
hands of lew men possessed of extreme eN-
ecutive ability. And therein lies the secret
of anomaly OF so autocratic a body as the
railroad kings in so democratic country as
America. Sidney Dillon ranked with men
like Gould, Sage and Huntingdon, and was
second to none of them, though he has lacked
the ostentation for which some have been
conspicuous.
