LD-FASHIONED WIN
TER.
Weather Prophet Tells About Weather
a Century Ago.

Weather Prophet Tells About Weather
a Century Ago
The following has been received from
the Middle Haddam weather seer:
Sir-The saying "old-fashioned win
ter" is very commonly voiced by new
fashioned people. 1t is in order that an
explanation should be requested. Who
and where is the old-fashioned person
that can enlighten the public? The
writer is not yet quite one hundred
years old However, having possession
of the record for one hundred years, he
volunteers information. Herewith you
have the following for the benefit of the
public:
The old-fashioned winter of 1900 and
1901, as per record. During the month
of December, 1900, there was fall OF
snow amounting to one and one-half
inches the mercury at no time dropped
80 low as zero.
During the month of January, 1901,
the total fall of snow amounted to sew
en- inches. The mercury dropped once
SO low as one above zero, at no time
lower than that figure. Let me now
call attention to the new-fashioned WIN
ter of 1900 and 1901.
During the month of December, 1900,
the mercury has fallen from to 13 de-
grees below zero; ice has formed and
been harvested eight inches thick, clear
and pure. The Connecticut river has
been covered with ice sufficiently strong
to admit of teams to be driven thereon;
there would have been good Shedding
had not Charles C. Goodrich kept the
boats of the transportation company
constantly blowing through it. He
should be indicted for disturbing the
bowels of the old Connecticut.
Let me now refer to the first thirteen
days of the present month passed. We
have had good, solid winter weather.
The ice cut and stored the past ten days
has increased from ten to twelve inches
in thickness. Within the seventeen days
unexpired of the present month remarks
will be barred on the character of an
old fashioned winter. The public has
been taught in the past fifteen years to
discard the term line storm. Let them
now abandon the Stiffness of an old
fashioned winter.
Yours in meteorology,
HORACE JOHNSON.

Mllburn, House, Buffalo, Sept. To-
President Roosevelt has issued the follow
ing proclamation:
"By the president of the United States,
a proclamation. A terrible bereavement
has befallen our people. The president of
the United States has been struck down;
crime committed not only against the
chief magistrate but against every law
abiding and libery loving citizen. Presi-
dent Mckinley crowned a life of largest
love of his fellowmen, of most earnest
endeavor for their welfare, by death of
Christian fortitude; and both the way in
which he devoted his life and the way
in which, in the supreme hour of trial,
he met his death, will remain forever
precious heritage of our people. 1t is
meet that we, as a nation, express our
abiding love and reverence for his life,
our deep sorrow for his untimely death.
"Now, therefore, 1, Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States of America,
do appoint Thursday next, September 10,
the day on which the body of the dead
president will be laid in It's last earthly
resting place, as a day of mourning and
prayer throughout the United States. 1
earnestly recommend that all the people
assemble on that day in their respective
places of divine worship, there to bow
down in submission to the will of Al
mighty God and to pay out of full hearts
their homage of love and reverence to the
great and good president whose death has
smitten the nation with bitter grief.
"In witness whereof | have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed

l4th day of September, A. D., 1901, and of
the independence of the United States the
10th. THEODORE ROOSEVELT,

and passionately did he defend his
principle.
His election as governor of Ohio
was by handsome majority.
In 1892 there were calls for McKin-
ley everywhere in the campaign. He
had presided. at the national conven-
ton, and refused to allow his name to
be voted for in two conventions. He
was the idol of the hour. He spoke
In Maine. Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Indi.
ana, Missouri and Kansas, but the
party went down to defeat again.
AS governor of Ohio, Mckinley had
opportunity to develop his executive
talent and he made such a record that
he was renominated by reclamation in
1898, and elected by the largest ma.
jority, with one exception, ever given
in the state.
He was delegate at large to the ma
tional republican convention and a
member Of the committee on resolu-
tions in 1884 and supported James
G. Blaine. He was also delegate to
the national convention of 1885, sup.
porting John Sherman, and was chair
man OF the committee on resolutions.
He was delegate at large to the con.
vention of 1892, and was made its
chairman. He received 1872 votes for
president, but refused to allow his
name to be considered, supporting the
denomination of Benjamin Harrison.
He was nominated for president of
the United States at the national re-
publican convention at ST. Louis June
Is, 1896, receiving 661 out of total
of 905 votes.
He was elected in November, 1896
by popular plurality of 100000 votes
and received 6g1 out of a total ofu
and received 271 electoral votes
against 176 for William Jennings
Bryan.
June 20, 1900, at the national repub
lican convention at Philadelphia he
was renominated for president and in
November was reelected. His popu
lar vote over Bryan was S49, ASS, and

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

The new president had just come from the
Milburn house, where his predecessor lay
cold in death. Overcome by the deep per-
sonal sorrow he felt in his characteristic
eally impulsive way, he had gone first TO
the house of mourning to offer his con-
dolence and sympathy to the broken
hearted widow. Secretary Root, who ~
years ago had been present at similar
scene when Arthur took the oath after
the death of another president who Tell
victim to an assassin's bullet, almost
broke down when he requested Mr.. Roose-
welt, on behalf of the members of the cab
met OF the late president, to take the pre-
seribed OATH There was not a dry eye
IN the room. The new president was Vlsl-
oily shaken but he controlled himself,
and when he lifted his hand to swear 1t
was as steady as though carved In mar
ole With the deep solemnity OF the oc-
@son he announced to those present that
hls aim would be to be William Mchln-
leys successor in deed as well as in name
Deliberately he proclaimed it in these
words; In this hour of deep and terrible
national bereavement | wish to state that
Il shall be my aim to continue absolutely
Without variance the policy of President
mckinley for the peace and prosperity
ana honor of our beloved country.
The far reaching significance of this
pledge to continue the policy OF the dead
president announced at the very thresh-
noia OF new governmental regime pro-
ionndly impressed his hearers and Presl-
aent Roosevelt's first step after taking
.ne oath was in line with its redemption.
nus first act was to ask the members OF
'ne cabinet to retain their portfolios IN
