ORIGINAL GOLD PROBs.'

Thirty years ago there was not a
weather bureau in existence. 1t has
been growth from the inception, but
the man who conceived the idea and
to whom more than any other, it's be-
ginning was, and its subsequent sue
cess has been DUE is Professor Cleve-
land Able. once intructor in mathe-
1t is he who has always borne the
title of cold Probabilities, and he
first began the work of sending out
reports of weather conditions and
forecasts for the benefit of people at
large.
After graduating from the New York
Free academy he came west to the
University of Michigan, where he
taught mathematics, and at the same
time studied astronomy under Pro-
lessor Brunnow After two years he
went to Cambridge, where he engaged
in the Geographic longitudinal work
of the United States coast survey. In
1866 he was at the Imperial observa-
tory at Pulkova, near st. Petersburg,
as the guest of the astronomers there.
After short stay in Washington on
his return he was chosen director of
the Cincinnati observatory 1t was but
shortly afterward that he suggested
the choosing of Cincinnati as the CEN
ter for meteorological observations in
the United States, where reports from
all parts of the country on the weather
conditions should be collected and
compared and forecasts made, and
Sept. l, 1869, Professor Abbe began
the publication of the weather bulletin
of the Cincinnati observatory. Previ-
ously, reports had been gathered by
the Smithsonian institution, but they
had never been sent out for the public
good.
The success of the move induced
congress to direct the secretary of war
to establish a government bureau. In
1871 General Albert J. Myer was APP
pointed to take charge of the work,
and he appointed Professor Able as
his meteorologist, to prepare the pre-
dictions and probabilities. His name
of "Old Probabilities. arose from this
fact

CHAPTER XIX.

Two years and half had passed
since Sir Karl had married Dolores,
Lady Rhysworth, and taken her home
to his stately mansion of Scarsdale.
The wedding had been quiet one.
Dolores would not hear of this Sec
Ond marriage being celebrated in the
same church where she had been mar
ried before; it would not be lucky she
averred, and above all she would dis
like the memories it would recall. So
the Squire, who had certainly grown
younger in his daughters happiness,
took her up to London, where Sir
Karl joined her, and they were mar
ried at st. Georges, Hanover Square;
but it was perhaps the most unpre
tending ceremony ever performed in
that fashionable church. They went
down to Richmond for their wedding
breakfast, and from there proceeded to
the Isle of Wight for their honeymoon
Dolores could not leave Kathleen for
more than week; in her opinion no
nurse or servant could ever take her
place, were she ever so devoted. They
spent one happy week on the island,
and then went home to Scarsdale.
1t seemed strange to Dolores to
live in the same neighborhood, but in
a different home. From the woods on
the western side of the Hall glimpse
of the towers of Deeping Hurst could
be obtained; and, believing that his
fdolized young wife would be pleased
to be able to see her old home, Sir
Karl had the trees cut down which OBJ
structed the view.
The excitement caused by the sud-
den departure of madame had abated.
It was believed that she had gone
away from some political motive. No
one knew how relieved Sir Karl and
Lady Allanmore were that madame
and her daughter had left the neigh
borhood.
They fell into the usual routine of
life, and were very happy. One day
Dolores put her arms round her hus-
Bands neck, and said to him
'"This is too bright to last, Karl; it
IS impossible
why, Dolores?" he asked in aston
Ashment.
"It is perfect happiness" she an
swered, land that never can last on
earth. It is meant only for heaven"
''Shall do anything to make you a
little less happy?" he inquired with a
smile. "Shall I, for instance, form a
phantom friendship with some Of the
beauties of the neighborhood? Shall
try to be impatient and quarrel
'No, certainly not
They were sitting in shady nook
on one of the garden seats. Sir Karl
threw his arms around the graceful
figure and kissed the beautiful face.
The simple expression Of great happi-
ness had touched him ineXpressibly.
Are you really so well content, :"
he asked.
81 am almost afraid to say it; but
am perfectly happy. [ have not one
shadow Of care, nor a wish unful-
flled'
They had been blessed with one lit
tie daughter. At first they had been
a little disappointed that it was not a
son, but Sir Karl declared that there
could not be too many replicas of
Dolores. They named the little one
Gertrude, after one of Sir KarI's hero

vision to repeal the $500 limitation
placed upon the price of armor by the
current law. The exact effect of the
action of the house is disputed. 1t is
contended by some that the action en-
powers the secretary to contract for
armor without regard to cost. By
others it is claimed the provision will
be ineffective unless the senate inserts

Washington, April 24.-Matthew s..
Quay was refused seat in the United
States senate on the appointment Of
the governor of Pennsylvania, by a
vote of 33 to 80. The entire time in
the senate was devoted to a debate
upon the question, many of the great
est lawyers and orators in the body
delivering speeches.. The first SEN
sation was caused by the failure OF
Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota to
answer to his name, although he was
in his seat. When Senator Vests
name was called he voted mo" in a
clear, distinct voice, thus dashing the
last hope of the friends of Quay, who
confidently expected the distinguished
Missourian would vote for his long
time personal friend. In perfect ST.
lence it was announced the senate had
denied to Quay the seat which he had
sought some months past.
Senator spooner (rep., Wis., said in
his debate he believed the question
pending ought to be determined upon
the constitutional view of it taken by
each senator Personality had no de-
cent place in the discussion. He did
not undervalue precedent but prece-
dent should shackle no one. Senator
Hale asked Mr. Spooner if he thought
it well that this great question should
be continually before the senate.
Senator Hale contended it was better
for governors and legislators that
there should be an end to such con-
tentions. II shall be glad" said
Senator Spooner, eff this discussion
shall lead to legislation or constitu-
tional amendment that will put an end
to the possibility of such cases." At 4

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, April 18-The debate
on the naval appropriation bill under
the five minute rule in the house drift
ed into politics and for good portion
Of the afternoon the members fought
hammer and tongs across the political
aisle. Partisan rancor almost cul-
minated in a sensational scene be-
tceen Messrs. Grosvenor (rep., Ohio,
chairman of the administration, and
Williams (dem.. Miss.). Some demo
Gratis began worrying Mr.. Hawley
(dem., Texas by pointedly asking if
the president had not changed his
mind on the Porto Rican tariff ques-
ton. Mr.. Grosvenor threw himself
into the breach. Mr.. Williams made
an interruption that drew sharp re-
joinder from the Ohioan about the
unfair advantage taken by the Mis-
the later, and after Mr.. Grosvenor
had concluded he made singing re-
Spouse. Later MIR. Grosvenor dis
claimed an intentional affront and
there the matter ended Some progress
was made with the bill but the most
controverted points went over.
Washington, April 18.-During al
most it's entire session the Alaskan
civil code bill was under discussion.
Senator Stewart (sil. rep, New de-
livered an address of nearly three
hours upon the mining laws of the
United States and their relation to
the proposed amendment, Senator
Hansbrough (rep., N. D. as to rights of
alien locators' claims. Senators Nelson
(rep., Mimi, Carter (rep., Mont.) and
Teller (sil. rep, COLI discussed the
pending amendment at1ength, Senators
Nelson and Teller being particularly
vigorous in their denunciation of it.
Washington, April 19.-In accord
ance with the recommendation of the
president in his message to congress
the senate passed a joint reso-
luton providing for the admins
tration of civil affairs in Porto Rico,
pending the appointment of officers
under the Porto Rican government
law recently enacted. The Alaskan
civil code bill was again under con-
sideration, the debate continuing on
the Hansbrough alien miners amend
ment Senator Carter (Mont.) pre-
scented formally his substitute for the
Hansbrough amendment and deliv-
cred a speech in support Of it. Sen
ator Spooner (Wis.) antagonized both
the original substitute and the amend
ment, holding that the courts ought
to settle the conflicting claims without
interference by congress. No under
standing was arrived at on the amend
ment.
Washington, April 19.-The house
spent practically the entire day
debating the proposition in the
naval bill designed to turn over
to the navy survey the charting of the
waters of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. The bill carried an ap-
preparation of 100000 for this pur-
pose. Senator Cannon. chairman of
the appropriations committee, led the
fight against it arguing that the sur
veying should be performed by the
coast and geodetic survey.

giving them protection, actually
urged the mob to great fury.
The consul is reminded that the
signers, as subjects of her Britannia

WARSHIP AT TANGIER.
1t Is There to Support the Claim
Arising Out of the Murder of
an American Citizen.

Tangier, Morocco, Aug. PA Unit
ed States warship has arrived here to
support the claim arising out of the
murder last June of Marcos Essagin
a naturalized American citizen who
was the manager of the Fee branch of
the French firm of Braunsweig g. Co.
Essagin, while riding on horseback
through narrow street in Tangier,
jOlted against the mule of a Moroc-
can religious fanatic and a dispute
ensued, the crowd siding with the
priest. In self-defense Essagin drew
his revolver and fired, wounding a
native. This was the signal for a
general attack upon the American,
who received dozens of knife wounds
and whose body was burned, accord
ing to some accounts, before life was
extinct.
