later IN the east. A change of
temperature, growing warmer, VIII
gradually spread over middle and
eastern sections, progressing from
the west, on the 4th and 9Th, when
n well defined storm line will be
denoted by cirro-stratus haze under
going formation and disruption in
the light thin upper atmosphere IN
duced by causes forming eddes or
swells in air currents of higher and
lower grades of temperature.
From the 4th to the Sth a gem
eral storm wave will progressively
be in transit from the west, starting
from its Western camping ground
about the Bird, being central or

ed by rain, snow and sleet. A cold
snap will follow. A change OF
temperature, growing warmer, will
start on or about the 14th IN CEN
trail and eastern parts, earlier IN the

will start Ia the west which most
likely will be charged with repellant

its progress, and giving lower
drop to the thermometer than any
previous or following wave Of tie
month. Blizzlrds in the west and
north will take charge Of things and
run thcir,own government to suit

From the 18th to the 18th the wave

The Public Buildings in Wash
ington all closed on account of the
funeral Of President Hayes, and
several members Of the Cabinet and
a detail OF officers Of the Army and
Navy were al the funeral as ropre.
sentatlyes Of the Administration.
Personally Mr. Hayes was generally
liked by the Democrats who knew
him, but those who did not enjoy
that pleasure always, perhaps un.
consciously, associated him in their
minds with the methods by which
he became President, methods new
er to be duplicated and never to be
forgotton, which prevented their
fully appreciatlng the really coed
traits which he possessed. Although
he was the chief beneficiary OF
plot which will always be n blot
upon American history, let it be
remembered to his credit, that he
neither originated it nor took any
part in carrying it out.
