1T MAY RAIN,
Because the Weather Man Says It Will b,
Fair.

Because the Weather Man Says It Will BE
Your friend. the weather bureau man, is q
gay deceiver. The way he is coquetting with
the weather certainly is scandalous.
Who're is that big storm he promised you yes
terday2 What was all that talk about falling
barometer, reefng the fore-topmast, splicing
the main brace and laying to with an eye to
windward3
That man will be the death of the weather
reporter yet. This strain is terrible, to have to
continually meet the reproachful looks of q
long-suffering and daily disappointed public.
1t is slowly wearing out his young life.
Even the thermometer seems to have taken
to discrimination. 1t says, for instance, that
last night between 7:3O and O'Clock the tenn
perature was only 80. Everybody knows how
sitting and oppressive the atmosphere was and
1t felt more like 80. The weather bureau man
says it appeared to be warmer because Of 20
much humidity in the atmosphere. It doesn't
look fair that humidity should run up mans
temperature to IS, while it doesn't even faze
the thermometer, which seems to say in sur
prise: "Are you hot2 Why, I am only 60"
What is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce
for the gander, and it is q pity the thermom-
eter cannot give correct diagnosis Of the sit
uation.
The weather bureau man heaved . big sigh to-
day and said he reckoned he would have to give
up that rain storm. You had better bring
your umbrella il you come down town tonight
He says it will be pleasant and cool for some
time to come and that there 10 no hot weather
in sight.

THE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC.

Instructions Being Issued to United States
COnsuIs Abroad the Subject.
In accordance with the recommen ndations of
the supervising general Of the Marine Hospital
service the collector Of customs at New York
has been directed to refuse to allow the entry Of
licorice root coming from Batoum, Russia. inas-
much az Batoum is the center of the infected
district in Russia and cholera has been prevailing
in that city in epidemic form during the present
season. While the lcorice root in itself is not
likely to convey the infection the department
thinks the bagging used in covering the bales is
source of danger and does not deem it advis-
able to allow the importation thereof.
The Treasury Department is advised that the
United States consul at Odessa. Russia has
given Consul Martin at Rostoff instructions to
refuse to certify all invoices without any ex-
planation, but presumably on account Of the
prevalence of cholera in that district.
The department has requested Secretary Fos-
ter of the State Department that he instruct
the consul at Odessa that certificates to oices
should not be refused for the reason stated, and
that the requirement Of the certificates of dis
infections prescribed by the Treasury Depart
ment circulars OF July last and the 18th inst,
does not affect the issuance of the ordinary
certificates to invoices.
In replying to a letter from the New York
Shipping Company, No. 4, broadway, New
York stating that United States consuls are not
stlIuclenLy pOeteU ab 10 tne rules ana re2u-
lations regarding the prohibition of importa-
tions Of goods likely to convey cholera Infection
Assistant Secretary Spaulding says that copies
of the departments circulars of the 8th ultimo
and 18th and 18th instants, have been sent to
the Secretary Of State with the request that the
proper consular officers be furnished Herewith.
The Secretary Of State was also requested to
communicate by cablegram with the consul
general at London.
No further information touching the cholera
had been received at the Department Of State
up to noon today.
The State Department is advised by the
health officer at quarantine, Staten Island, that
stringent regulations will be adopted Steamers
will be inspected most carefully, and those hav-
ing suspected cases death on board will
be held until archaeological examination
can be made. II cholera is found
all persons will be held at least seven days, sick
removed and placed in hospital, all baggage as
well as the vessel treated with steam and all
parts OF the vessel not subjected to steam will
be washed with q solution of bi-chloride of
mercury.

want to pursue the strike will be another eis-
ment.
Grand Master Sweeney, accompanied by two
officers in civilians attire, at 10 o'clock went TO
the Central depot and started for Chicago.
The departure Of troops will continue, much
to the chagrin Of various railroad companies.
WHAT WILL THE NEW MANAGERS DO?
There remain to the Buffalo strike situation

Why, We had the strike practically won,"

periments with bananas have been

Rev. VALENTINE LEWIS of New
York has deserved well of his fellows
for entering his protest against the
prevailing fad for teaching heather
Chinese, on the part of young ladies,
in Sunday schools. Rev. Lewis asser-
ton, that the Cinnamon attend these
schools for the purpose of casting
lustful eyes at the sweet teachers, is
not new one, and the secular press
has again and again pointed out the
improperly of the very friendly foot
ing on which these almond eyed ce-
lestials stand with their teachers.
The whole thing is fad. 1t does no
practical good. 1t does open the way
for grave indiscretions, and renders
the whole question of Chinese ex-
cluSiveness more difficult to settle.
