for and Immediately executed while Colo
mel Pettitt was at dinner On the yorktown.

The local weather bureau is aut hotity
for the statement that the weather for
the past two days has not been chilly

ably agree that the term is rear enough
for all practical purposes
The temperature yesterday, while it
might have seemed chilly enough, was,
nevertheless, - degrees above freezing
point, while the highest point touched
was 81 degrees. Cold as Saturday seemed,
the lowest temperature on that day was
the highest recorded yesterday, 81 de-
erees.
On Tuesday the highest temperature
was "a degrees, just 30 degrees above
the lowest FONT reached yesterday. sun

tween rs and 81 degrees. while on tie
Sabbath preceding that. the thermome-
ter's variations were between 81 and 10
degrees On Sept. the highest point
reached was 81, 81 degrees higher than
yesterdays highest mark, and II degrees
higher than the lowest Point touched yes
ter7ay.
The weather man, viii e judiclaIly de-
clining to pronounce as to the quality of
the weather that he is furnishing, is
gieeful in the knowledge that it was
predicted by his and other similar bt:-
reaus located in different parts of the
country. This may be, ard doubtless is.
highly satisfactory to the officials of the
meteorological department, but it Is
scarcely to be regarded as consola ton
to shivering fublic, which knows not
when to eXrect sizzling torridity or mar
row-pieTcing friyldity at the hands of the
