WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. 20.
TMEOPLE who live along the Allan
lDJ tic coast from Geo. gia to Massa-
chusetts will tomorrow have q
u taste of pretty lively gale,
while the men who 60 out to sea in
ships in defiance warning that is now
two days old, will do so at the peril Of
their lives. The hurricane that was
born somewhere in the tropical seas,
was conferred near Jacksonville this
morning where the msxium velocity Of
the wind was reported by the weather
bureau to be forty six miles an hour.
The disturbance has been slowly work.
ing up the coast Of Florida and the
indications now are that it will recurve
from the coast near st. Augustine and
put seaward with an increased forward
movement in north by north -easterly
direction.
The storm travels something after
the fashion OF billiard ball that has
been driven with much "English"
against the cushion. The moment ii
comes in contact with an obstruction
its speed is accelerated. So this storm,
meeting the land, has recurved, and Its
northward movement will be much
more rapid, so rapid that New York
will feel 1t by tomorrow night.
immediately after the morning re-
ports were received ut the weather
bureau today message was sent to
Gray Gables notifying the president of
the conditions and advising him not to
take sail until after the storm had
passed.
The center of this storm. according
to the latest calculation will be out at
sea, but the coast cities. like Washing.
ton, Baltimore and New York. will
feel much of the wind, although it is
not expected to reach the velocity of
the storm of last August when record
Of fifty-eight miles was reached. Un-
less all the indications fail, the wind
will not attain the dignity Of hurri-
cane except at sea along the coast.

CONGRESSIONAL
PREDICTIONS
Republicans Expect TO Garry al Least Two
Hundred Districts.

The Democrats, While Conceding
Their Opponents Large Gains,
Claim That They Will Control the
House by Small Majority-Rival
Estimates from Various States-Re-
publicans Expect to Have Majority
of Twenty-One in the House.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 90.

WASHINGTON, sept, ~.
GPHE managers of the Republican
congressional campaign commit
tee coAnt on securing 200 mem
u bers hf the next house. The
Democrats, more conservative, estimate
their membership to 190 The Repub-
licans assert that so far from
the Democrats securing so large
mem bership tn Y will not
elect more than I40 members
to the next house. The Democrats, on
the other hand, concede the Redubli =
cans by 1853 members. The house Of
representatives consists OF 1853 mem
bers. of which l79 is quorum. II the
Republicans carry 200 districts, they
will have working majority Of 81,
while the Democrats will, if successful
according to their calculations, control
the house by majority Of II,
Neither the Democrats nor the Re-
publicans believe that the Populists
will cut much Of figure in the pend
ing campaign. The Republican mana
gers, for instance, do not believe that
q single Populist will be elected north
of Mason and Dixon's line. and the
Democrats account for only q total Of
ten in the entire United States. Oddly
enough, there is absolutely no differ
ence of opinion between the Repu bill
can and Democratic experts 80 far as
the great majority of the con-
gressional districts are concerned.
In nearly all the Southern states solid
Democratic delegations are conceded
to the Democrats. Texas is regarded
by the Republicans as debatable
ground, their information being that
the Populists In that state will make
serious inroads into the Democrats. In
Missouri. also, the Republicans expect.
with the aid Of the Popalists. to unssat
at least four Democrats, in addition to
carrying the three city districts of st.
Louis and three others in the country.
The Democrats concede to the Re-
publicans the entire delegation t.om
Iowa, with the exception Of Mr.
Hayes district, and some forty more
congressman in Maine. Oregon. Mon
tana, Idaho. New Hampshire. North
and South Dakota. Washington. Yer.
mont and Pennsylvania. The Demo-
Gratis do not anticipate electing a con-
gressman in Kansas. but their esti,
mates provide for the election Of four
Populists. while the Republicans claim
the entire state.
The defeat Of Mr.. Wilson, OF West
Virginia, the author of the tariff bill,
is predicted BY the Republicans by a
majority of 1900. The Republicans
have some expectation also Of carrying
two other districts in the Estate. In

A Blind Girl Printers Skill.

A remarkable case of what can be done
by blind person is now being exempli-
fed at Swaledale, near Pittsburg. Some
twelve weeks ago S. B. Angel purchased
the Swaledale Bee, and, not having
enough assistance, bis blind sister, Miss
Hattie Angel, prevailed upon him to al.
low her to go into the Office and assist in
the work. For the fret few days she
found occupation in folding papers, ETC.,
and she soon became so proficient in that
that she asked to be allowed to set type
and was given case to see what she
could do. In less than an hour she had
the boxes learned, and her first stickful
of type was set in so minutes.
What is still more remarkable she
can now set as much type as the average
compositor and do it with greater accura-
cy. She experiences but little difficulty
with her copy. She is expert in writing
the language of the blind and matter is
dictated to her. Writing it down in her
language, she goes to her case, and Gid
ing her fingers over the raised surface,
she retains in her mind entire sentences,
and accordingly can set with great rapid
itv. I'm order 10 pet the type RIGHT side
up, her middle finger is used in feeling
the hicks, and this is done while lifting
the type in the stick. She has not yet
attempted to distribute type, but she ex-
poets to soon become master of this art as
well. Miss Angel is very intelligent
young woman, and is fine player on the
piano. She has also achieved quite a
little fame as a singer Pitsbtrg Dis.

4 Practical IVoOer.

A young lady who was the recipient of
attention from two young men equally
eligible in point of good looks, social po-
sition and financial solidity, and enter
tained similar feelings for both, was in
quandary as to which to choose should
they propose. A frienl to whom she
conhded her difficulty suggested that she
should put both to some test to prove the
strength of their affection. She took the
advice, and to the first who avowed his
affection said
"You tell me that you love me. How
do l know that you are sincere? What
would you do to show your love?'
Anything" replied the ardent lover,
who had spice of romance in his dispo-
sition. "Anything-I would go to the
worlds end for you. would die for you
if necessary"
Such ardent protestatiOns brought the
bushes to her checks, and a thrill of
happiness to her, and she thought that
certainly no one could love her more
fondly than he did. She asked him for
little delay before giving an answer to
his suit.
Meanwhile the other proposed, and she
questioned him in like manner
"Well," said he, "I'll tell you what l
would do TO show you my love. If you
marry me, you shall have good clothes
to wear. l will see that you are always
the owner of handsome sealskin jacket,
and that your hats or bonnets are al
ways in fashion, and will be a faithful
and loving husband to you"
"But wouldn't you go to the worlds
end for me or any of that sort of thing,
you know? p she asked as she toyed with
his coat buttons.
81 don't want to 60 to the worlds
end" he replied. I've got nice paying
business here, and, as for dying for you,
I'd rather live with you"
"Well," said she as visions Of the seal
skin Jacket and fashionable bonnets flash
ed across her mind, 81 think you can
speak to pa"

times.-Boston Home Journal.
