WHAT FOGS ARE.
Statistics Show How They Affect the
Death Rate.

Death Rate.
A convenient though not strictly sci
entific classification of fog types is sea
or coast fog, valley or hill fog and town
or dust fog, says Harper's Magazine.
The last-named has been given the
euphonic designation nebula pulverea.
1t is an artificial rather than natural
condition. The Rev. Clement Ley,
who gave large portion of his life to
cloud study, says, in his book on
"Cloudland," that in some parts of the
globe nebula pulverea is occasionally
so thick as to obscure almost totally the
sunlight and in Abyssinia has led to the
tradition that the, plague of darkness
in Egypt was in reality an unusual
dust fog" The amount of moisture
varies SO much in different fogs that
the terms dry" and vet" are used,
the scientific name CT Il latter being
nebula stillans. In wet1fog the parti-
cles are apt to be large than in dry
fog. A still further division, due, we
believe, to Mr.. Robert H Scott, is an
ti-cyclonic fog, or fog in which no rain
falls, while the temperature, generally
low in the morning, continues to rise
during the day, and cyclonic fog, in
which rain does occur, while the tenn
perature remains about stationary. Be
fore leaving these town fogs we may
notice the part played by them in af-
fecting the health of community. Mr..
Scott has given figures showing the
mortality from diseases of the
respiratory system for some of the
more memorable fogs of London. We
have room for but one of the many
periods he gives. From January 26 to
February 6, 1880; London experienced
eight days of fog The average tenn
perature at 8 o'clock in the morning
was 26 degrees Fahrenheit. The total
death rate was 4S1 per 1000, a rate un
equaled since the last cholera epidemic,
and there were no less than 1857
deaths from diseases of the respiratory
organs. 1t is not always an easy mat
ter to trace direct relationship even
where the statistics are carefully gath
ered, Dut tnefe can De lIlLle dOuDI LHdI
these town fogs are unwholesome. In
directly they affect the health of the
community in way few would mag
inc. A town fog is an excellent trap
for noXious gases, holding them close
to the ground. DR.. R. Barnes, study
ing this question, found, by inspection
of gas plants near London, that in fog
gy weather the escaping gas was held
in concentrated form in and near the
works There are other sources Of
contamination in foul emanations from
the ground, sewers, etc. On clear,
bright days, even if no wind is blow
ing, the law of diffusion of gases acts
more effectively and helps disperse the
gases.

AN INNOVATION.
A Church Fair in Oklahoma-Every-
thing Perfectly Square,

A Church Fair in Oklahoma Every
thing Perfectly Square,
Brethren and sisters" said the Rev,
Jack Jonks, the well-known Oklahoma
divine, relates the New York World,
'I am requested to announce that the
ladies of the church will give fair
and festival at Tilligan's hall next
Thursday evening, to which everybody
is invited. l will further say that
everything will be square and above
board on that occasion. l have been
moved to insist upon this innovation
because of the numerous kicks which
have been registered since the last
event of this character. Certain of the
brethren, especially those who have but
recently become members of the church
and have not yet forgotten their world
ly wisdom, have been complaining that
catch-penny devices and games Of
chance at the last festival, and they
are emphatic in their proclamation
that, while they do not object to run
ming up against a1y legitimate hazard
for the good of the cause, they decline
to participate in any more lead-pipe
cinches. l will therefore add that at
the coming festival the grab-bag, fish
pond, weighing and kindred
devices for replenishing the treasury
will be under the direct supervision OF
Curly Conroy, the gentlemanly and &C
complished dealer of faro at the Blue
Ruin fortune parlors. In kindly agree
ing to superintend these devices, Mr..
Conroy pledges his professional honor
that every visitor who puts down his
scads will at least have some show for
his money, and that his part of the
evenings entertainment will be con-
Quoted in the same unprejudiced and
impartial way that characterizes his
work at the Blue Ruin. The usual COL
lection will now be taken"

PLAN OF ACTION AGREED ON

Executive Committee of the National Re-
publican League Meets in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The first formal
meeting of the executive committee of
the National Republican league since
the convention at Detroit in June was
held at the Auditorium. Eastern and
Middle states were well represented at
the meeting.
Notwithstanding the fact that cleo
tons are still are still some distance in
the future, plan of action was drawn
up and agreed to relative to the state
elections in Maryland, Virginia, Ken
lucky, Ohio, Iowa and Massachusetts,
this fall. After warm debate it was
also agreed that an attendance of seven
members at any regularly called meet
ing of the executive committee will be
sufficient to constitute quorum to act
for the whole body.
Senator ThurStOn announced that the
representatives of the league in Ne
braska would have everything in order
for the next convention at Omaha in
June. At that time the transmississippi
exposition will open in Omaha and
President Mckinley will be there to
start the machinery in motion. The
exact date of the convention was left
Chairman L. J. Crawford to decide.
The financial discussion was given a
sensational turn, it is said, by the
threat of Secretary M. ]. Bowling to
resign unless satisfactory means for the
maintenance of the organization were
proyided

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.

Weather Too Cold for Good Results In
Several Localities.
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE weather
bureau, in its report of crop conditions
for the week ended Aug. 30, says: In
the lake region and New England the
week has been too cool and in the states
of the Central valleys too dry for best
results. In the Middle, South Atlantic
and Gulf states, and generally through
the Rocky mountains and Pacific coast
regions the week has been favorable.
Early corn is maturing rapidly in Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota, but it has made slow progress
in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, and the late crop
generally needs warmth and moisture.
Spring wheat harvest is nearly COM
pleted in Minnesota and North Dakota,
and threshing is general. In Washing
ton and Oregon the weather has been
especially favorable for threshing the
heavy wheat crop which has been har-
vested in these states.

Pennsylvania Democrats Vote to Retire

READING, Pa, Sept. 1.-The Demo
cratic state convention met in this city
and nominated Walter E. Ritter of Ly-
coming county for auditor general and
M. E. Brown of Blairsville for state
treasurer. The matter of the selection
of candidates was entirely overshad-
owed by the fight to force the retire
ment of William F. Harrity from
the national committee. Opponents
Of Mr.. Harrity succeeded in pushing
through by a vote of 29O to 234
a resolution endorsing James M. Guffey
for his position. Mr.. Harrity's friends
contend that the state cow ention has
no power to declare his seat in the ma
tional committee vacant and that he
will not surrender without fight.
The morning session of the conven-
ton ended with a disgraceful row, dur
ing which some delegates who did not
like the way things were going climbed
upon the stage and exchanged blows. A
large detachment of policemen was on
hand in the afternoon and everything
was serene.

young Cuban girl, Evangelina Cossio

great deal of the romance that attached
to her case. She is not the niece Of the
Marquese Santa Lucia, as has been plb.
icly proclaimed, but is the daughter of
a poor and respectable Cuban named
Augustin Cossio. Her mothers name
being Cisneros it was added to her own
according to the Spanish custom, MAX
ing her full name Evangelina Cossio y
~Cisneros. Moreover, General Lee re-
ports that this girl is not an only
daughter, nor has she been raised in
wealth and luxury, but is one of five or
six children.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-The reception to
President Faure upon the occasion of
his return from Russia after participant
ing in the arrangement resulting in the
alliance of Russia and France was an
especially brilliant affair. Waiting the
arrival of President Faure were large
bodies of troops massed in the vicinity
of the Care du Nord, including the
whole of the artillery garrison from
Varleien. President Faure looked ro-
bust and bronzed as the result of the
voyage. The scenes at the railway sta
ton and along the entire route battle

POpera was SO great that the COM
bined efforts of the municipal guards
were hardly sufficient to keep order.
A band of 100 persons with flags fly
ing proceeded in the direction of the
Elysee shouting ''Down with Emperor
William" The police stopped the pro-
cession and the band was scattered
after a struggle.
Another Bomb Exploded.
Three minutes after the president had
passed the Madeleine bomb..was ex-
ploded inside the ratings around the
church. Two arrests followed immedi-

closed by the police, who began an
active investigation into the outrage.
Nobody was injured by the explosion,
but the affair, following so closely upon
others of similar nature, caused the
greatest excitement. The persons in
side the ratings were infinitely exam
ined by the police before they were
allowed to leave. The fragments of the
bomb found by the police resemble
those in the Bots de Boulogne on June

on June IL last. 1t consisted of an iron
tube filed with an explosive and loaded
with nails.
