synod of Virginia was engaged most OF
today in hearing argument in the mat
ter of the reverends Messrs. E. w. Ley

having the qualifications which would
put him in the class of extraordinary

1t was in the gorgeous autumn time in

When m ost of us who lives these days had

New York announced an equine show, as
nowadays she does,
But, oh, that exhibition wasn't like it used

The wondrous growth electric Of the
twentieth century
HAD Drought upon the equine race a change
right sad to see.
The hunters used the trolley for O. cross

And automatic jumpers were employed by
every one.
The sleek and glossy hackney that had
pulled our cabs of yore
HAD disappeared from out the land some
twenty years before;
ana every single hanson or fine turnout

was nailed about the streets and ways by
an electric spark
The plough-horse cen had gone before
had made its farewell bow,
Because the farmer'd taken I'D the n.w

inexpensive charge,
To prance about his fields lust like an
antelope at large.

When all the equine race had fallen in this
fearful fix,
Was just Shetland pony, resting on "a
satin tuft,
With great glass eyes and silken locks.

And yet the show was quite the same
In every other way
The boxes and the promenades We're filled
both night and day,
And the ribbons now awarded to the

Were given to the people with the finest

after, are to be teleGraphed abroad for
the Information of the people-to news
papers, boards OF trade, chambers of COM
merce, merchants exchanges, scientific
exchanges and other organized bodies.
While the bulletins are being prepared
the serge eants, SO designated originally
and retained for convenience, are engaged
in the prepar alton of maps which show by
arrows and numbers exactly what was the
meteorological condition OF the whole
country when the last reports were sent
in. These charts, or maps, are printed
in quantities.
A dozen or more copies are laid together
Oh the tabIewith sheets of carbon paper be-
tween them and arrows stamped in them
by the manifold process, showing the
direction Of the wind at each station.
The products of this process are displayed
Mt conspicuous points, as the Capitol, the
War Department, the Observatory, Smith
sonian Institution and the office of the
chief signal officer.
Every report and p per received is care
fully preserved, so that ut the end of each
| year the office possesses complete his
tory OF the meteorology of every day in the
year, or over $4,000 observations, be-
side the countless and continuous records
from all Of its self registering instruments.
Another feature ofthe work of the bureau
is the preparation of those daily bulletin
maps explanatory of atmospheric condt
tiOns throughout the country, a fac-simile 81
which with its tortuous lines, and various
shadings. appears each day in The Evening
Times The course of a sweltering hot
high" is shown, and the effect OF sur
rounding conditions duly chronicled by
barometric indications, the storm centers
being plainly located. To the intelligent
student as well as TO those who must OF
necessity keep pace with the elements, these
charts are quite valuable, and are priced
accordingly.
The extent to which the general business
public has come to depend upon 'Old
Proba bilties" is something wonderful.
The perfection of the bureau facilities and
its general present accuracy, the outgrowth
OF crude system by a certain method of
progression, is also a marvel.

Back to the Pick @
@ and the Shovel

The fact that Fortune is a tickle god
dess, writes Stanley Woodin the Chicago
Times Herald, was never more aptly Illus
strated than in the career of ex-senator H.
a. w. Tabor ofColorado. A farlne r. a stone
mason, small grocery keeper a great mine
owner, a multi millionaire, and prop rietoror
great blocks OF buildings in Denver, the
possessor and builder of one of the finest
opera houses in the world, lieutenant gov
ernor of Colorado, United States Senator
and now poor man once more, delving
i'll the dirt for another fortune among the
golden hills of Cripple Creek-this, in
para graph, is the history of man who has
received more flattery and more criti-
cism, more favors and flaunts of fortune
than fall to the lot of most men. The
other day brief telegram was published
to the effect that the last piece of property
owned by ex-senator Tabor had been sold
under the hammer to satisfy mortgage
for $500, coo, thus closing one of the pages
in strange, eventful history
Nov. 26, 1890, thisman of varied fortunes
was born, and on the 26th of Novembe
1896, he found himself, at the age of &c.
as bereft of earthly possessions as upon the
day of his birth, notwithstanding the fact
thatless than ten years ago his fortune was
rated at over S6,00O,0 600.
when Tabor was rich and prosperous he
was fond of recalling the days OF poverty
andlator through which he had passed, and
the following factsare condensation ofhis
history as he related it to ME, seated n his
private office il the Tabor Grand Opera
House before aIversity had overtaken him:
In 1859 Tabor came to Denver, leaving
farm in Kansas and seat in the Kansas
legislature. He stayed in Denver through
the winter and early in the spring of 1860,
with two friends, drove yoke of oxen at

Never Forrave Old Hannibal

When Hannibal Hanlin was speaker Of
the Maine house of reprcScutativeS-awa
back III the fOrties-thsre was in that body
certain gentleman whose hair was very
thin, and he was highly sensitive in re-
gard 10 it, To hide his approaching bald
ness, he had habit OF carefully StToking
with bandoiine or other prepa ration each
particular hair in its place one day
while in the chair as speaker, Mr. HamHn,
it, the innocence of a good and jOke-,ovins
nature, sent for this gentleman, and look

said, with chuckle:

you that you've got one of the hairs Of
your head crossed over the other

replied the member, with unexpected and
altogether unnecessary Indignation; and
then, refusing TO listen 70 reason or ex-
planation. he left the speakers desk and
returned to his seat.
When Mr. IIamliu became a candidate
for the United states Senate. this gentle
