after 1891 the enthusiasm waned; there

Endorsed Capt. Gordon.

An adjourned meeting of the Bladens-
burg Colored Republican Club was held
here Monday. Three vice presidents
John T. D -gs, James Sedgewick and Al

Hall, of Bladensburg, addressed the meet

were willing to indorse and elect any man
who stood for the interest of the colored
iaborer. Rev. DR.. W. F. H. Addison, of
Bladensburg, also addressed the conven-
ton, and advocated unity of the colored
people in support of such candidates as
would stand up courageously for the in
terest and advancement of the colored
race. The convention then Endorsed Capt.
Z. q. Gordon for Congress as man who
had shown he was true friend of the
co'n""d race. Rev. B. A. Mcdonald was
prcsl ic..t Of the convention, and Rev. E.

Hicks Forecasts for June.

1t must not be forgotten that the first
ten to fifteen days of June are, like the
last half of May, subject to the continued
perturbations of Saturn's opposition.
The first storm period for June extends
from LIST to 5th The equinox of Mercury
and the beginning of the June solsticc
will both add to this regular storm period
On the 4th, the moon is full and at both
her perigee and greatest declination south
| We will name Thursday the 2nd to Sun
day the 9Th, as central dates when barome-
ter reading and all other storm indications
should be calmly but closely watched.
| The only things that should be especially
unprecedented as violent and dangerous at
this and other June periods will be the
probable storms Expect rain, hail, much
BILE tornadoes. Change to cooler, higher
pressure and westerly winds will come in
from northwest behind the storms, spread
ing eastward generally and modifying the
weather up to about the eth or Sth
Reactionary weather conditions will
take place on and touching the 9th and
10th Barometer will fall in the regular
order, growing warmer and ending in more
storms of rain, wind, hail and thunder.
Friday the 10th, date of moons passage
of the equator, we name as that on which
the heaviest storms are probable. Look
for much brilliant lightning, frequently
all night long. in these solstice disturb
ances. Let all know that the blazeS of
sheet lightning which commonly illum-
nate the June skies at night are harmless.
But the vicious thunder storms passing
very near at this time are different. Do
not take shelter under trees, or expose
yourself at open doors or windows at such
times. A regular storm period, central
on the 18th, will bring low barometer,
warmer weather and more rain and storm
mess from about the 18th to 18th.
A marked reactionary time of disturb
ance runs from about the 18th to 22nd
As we enter this period it will grow very
warm and falling barometer with other
storm conditions will appear. The 10Th

many showers to most parts of the coun
try with numerous hail storms and many
magnificent electrical displays at night
We believe that one of the most active
storm periods in June will fall between
the 23rd and 2Sth. The central days will
be Saturday, 25th to Monday, eth. Moon
will be on the celestial equator on the 25th
and at first quarter on the Goth, facts
which all close, unbiased observers will
sooner or later confess have important
bearings on our storm and weather phc.
nomena.
We repeat our prediction of seasonal
rains to most parts in June and much of
July. Lowlands in many quarters will
have too much rain. Exceptions will be
mostly to the west and northwest. Be-
ginning the latter part of July, look for
general and excessive dryness and heat,
being the most intense and, of course, do
ing the most damage to crops in north
western sections where they are not fully
matured and harvested.
