BE careful about chills. That is part
of the prescription"
The traveller watched him as he lefl
the car and got into a shaky-looking
open buggy with which young WON
an was waiting to drive him away. A.
the cars moved on he twisted about tc
watch the buggy as far as he could
down the frozen road under a gray,
bleak sky. 1t was a poor-looking,
hilly piece Of country. The traveller
took note book and gold pencil out Of
his pocket, and wrote down carefully
the name of DR.. John Ashurst, Of AL,
ton; then he tucked the Scotch plaid
well about him and smoothed it over
his knees affectionately. "That's q
scholar and sntleman," he thought,
with an unusual glow in his heart. ''He
treated me like a brother. Iwondsr
how he comes to be hidden away in
this corner. Well, the world isn't as

didn't lie once, and he explained just
what chance had, and how to go

the dusty windowsill with pleasant
sense of taking a new lease of life. &.
DR.. John Ashurst,was driving away
with one of his daughters, and explain

he had left his wrap in the train.

WEST INDIA CYCLONE
Expected to Reach the City This Even
ing.
There is Not Much Danger to BE Ap-
prehended-Lively Times Likely
. ON the Sea

At II o'clock this morning the weather
bureau was figuring On the approximate
position Of the West Ihdia cyclone and its
chances Of reaching Washington during the
day. At that hour the wind was twenty
two miles an hour in this city. the barome-
ter was low and had fallen O4 in one hour.
The latter circumstance was considered in
dicatfve Of the rapid approach of the storm.
The reports from thessouth indicated the
center OF the storm to be somewhere north
Of Charleston. 8. c., and In a direct line
with this city. The wire to Cape Hatteras
was down. and no report had been receiv-
ed from that point. The storm had not ad-
vanced during the night with the rapidity
expected last evening. Its more rapid
progress had apparently been deferred by
which. IL 1t should change. would permit
the storm to advance more rapidly.
Will Arrive Here Tonight.
The opinion Of the weather forecaster at
that hour was that 1t would come on to
rain here during the afternoon and the
storm would arrive in the night. He
thought there would not be much danger to
be apprehended in Washington, as the wind
would probably not exceed forty miles per
hour. The danger from this cyclone is its
effect at sea, and no warning could be too
tensity of the cyclone decreases in the in
terror. Therefore the weather bureau was
not inclined to be alarmed for Washington
This storm does not threaten to be as Sc
we're as the hurricane of August, 1893, which
devastated the sea islands and which was
felt in Washington.
The Official Bulletin.
Lieut. Dunwoody, acting chief Of the
weather bureau. at 1 o'clock today issued
the following bulletin:
The tropical hurricane announced in the
weather bureau bulletin of Wednesday as
southeast of Jacksonville has moved slowly
north-northeas to the north of Charleston,
which station was within the nearly calm
center at a. m. today. with a pressure of
D3O and wind of twelve miles south
Later reports show that the pressure has
risen sfx-hundreJths in three hours at
Charleston. and fallen the same amount at
Norfolk. which indicates a very slow move
ment to the north-northeast The present
indications are that the storm will continue
to move slowly until midnight probably
diminishing In intensity. Dangerous gales
will be experienced on the south and middle
Atlantic and south New England coasts.
and moderately high winds in the interior
Of the Atlantic coast states"

THE FOREIGN MAILS.
Features That May Affect the Coming
Letting of Contracts.

Features That May Affect the Coming
Letting Of Contracts. .-
The Post Office Department will have an
interesting question to determine when the
time arrives for complying with the law
and beginning of the contract with the
American line of steamers for carrying
foreign mails. AT present the American
line sails only the New York and Paris as
mail-carrying ships. Within a year the
st. Louis and ST. Paul will be added to the
fleet and fast naaA-caxrying vessel of
this line will leave New York for England
every week. Now the. malls are assigned
to the vessels which win get the mails to
London the quickest. The superintendent
of foreign mails in Washington averages
the time by different vessels on the three
last trips and to the vessel. which performs
the speediest delivery the carrying of the
mail abroad is awarded. Sometimes diff
ference of three minutes in time has given
vessel the mail in preference to another
vessel sailing the same time. The New
York and Paris get SLID per pound for car
rying letter or first-class mail and the for
eiyn vessels ~ cents per pound for mail Of
the same kind. On secoad class matter,
such as newspapers, the American liners
get cents pound and foreign ships l =
cents. When the new contracts go into
effect the American lire will get 81 per
mile for carrying the mails. 1t will not
make any difference as to the amount car
ried. 1t has not been determined and will
be a question for the department to decide
whether all mails destined for England
shall be held for the American liners or
will be sent on foreign ships with view
to their more speedy transmission. If a ship
of the American line was not to leave until
the last of the week, w4fffe before its de-
parture one or more speedy ships of for
efgn lines were to sail, there will be a great
demand to have the nrails carried by those
ships which will carry them abroad much
sooner. than the contrast ships.

NAVY OFFICERS AND THE WAR.
Secretary Herbcrt's Instructions Re-
garding observations to BE Made.


The policy of the Navy Department I'm
regard to sending naval officers on board
Chinese and japanese vessels to ascertain
the status of the war and make observa-
tions which would be of benefit to the de-
partment was outlined to Star reporter
today by Secretary Herbert.
There is on board each shin in Asiatic
waters an officer designated as an inteni-
gence officer" said Secretary Herbert, "and
the admiral commanding the fleet was
weeks ago. and again recently, urged TO be
diligent in collecting Information that would
be OF use to the department. Admiral Car
penter was instructed to guard American
interests particularly along the lines Of
military operations. He will be in a posi-
ton to observe. and he has been directed
also. If necessary, to detail officers for this
purpose and send them on special missions
to obtain Information and to personally ex-
anime into, when practicable, the nature
and extent of injuries received by ships I'm
battle He was not Instructed TO detail
officers to go on board Chinese or Japanese
ships about 10 go into battle, and IL is sup
posed that IL an officer should ask his per-
mission to do SO he would refuse the re-
quest, as Admiral Brown did when off,
GERS of his feet in the Chilean waters re-
quested permission to go upon the vessels
of the insurgents
1T would be a rather grave matter for
an admiral to order an officer to go into a
battle I'm which his country was not i'm
mediateiy concerned. solely for the pur-
pose OF obtaining information which could
be well obtained by other means"
Have any officers volunteered for this
service, and have their requests been re-
fused?'' he was asked
mo applications have been made There
is no doubt however that II the Japanesa
or Chinese government should extend such
an invitation and IL were once made known
That officers would be allowed on board its
war vessels. and that the department desir-
ed to detail officers for that purpose any
number of applicants would come forward
1t would not be necessary to call for yolla-
teers here. Any number wanted could be
gotten from ships now in Asiatic waters
IAN army officer was recently sent to ac-
company the Japanese upon a quasi invita-
tion OF the Japanese government. but no such
invitation or suggestion as to the detailing
of an officer Of the navy has come from the
Japanese or the Chinese government. i
do not know OF any instance I'm which a
government ever invited a foreign officer 10
go into battle upon one Of its ships as an
observer. nor Of any navy department that
ever asked for such a privilege"
