Gold Wave Sends the Mercury
Down to 81 Above Zero.
Still Growing Colder and May Touch
10 by To-Morrow.

From 4 O'Clock yesterday until noon to-
day there had been a drop In the tenn
perature of thirty degrees. The change
remarkable as It was, was not a sur
prise. as Forecaster Dunn gave New
Workers. a tip on the cold wave twenty
four hours ago.
1t came into town all right last night,
and MIR. Dunn say 1t will hug us
closely In It's Icelandic embrace for
~twenty-four hours to come. 1t Is sure
TO get colder, too, for the billow OF frigid-
lily which has just blown its breath upon
distance to the north and west of New
York.
This Is the cold wave that has sent the
temperature in Chicago down to eight
below zero, and in st. Louis six below.
Mr.. Dunn says that we will feel that
wave more keenly this evening and to-
morrow. when the temperature Is likely
to scampe away down to 10 or perhaps
lower.
To-day at 8 o'cl ,ck It was 81 above, and
1t was growing colder hourly.
1t Is interesting to know that in Jack
sonville, where Corbett n Mitchell are
about to engage In al argument, the
weather changed this morning to a
chilly. drizzling rain, the advance agent
OF the cold wave. and the temperature,
which stood at 50 at s O'Clock this morn
