THE WEATHER IN FEBRUARY.
Likely to he One of the Storniest
Months In the Year.

Chief Moore, of the Weather Bureau,
issued the following bulletin yesterday
regarding February weather:
The following statements are based on
average weather conditions for February
as determined by long series of observa-
tiOns. AS the weather of any given Feb
ruary does not conform strictly to the
average conditions, the statements can
nos be considered as forecasts.
February is one of the stormiest
months Of the year along the trans-At-
lantic steamer tracks of the North At
lantic. These storms begin with east to
south gales, which. in the case of west
ward bound steamers quickly shift TO
westerly. Ice is rarely encountered as
far south as the steamer routes in Feb
ruarY, and fog is not frequent over and
near the banks of Newfoundland. In the
tropical regions of the Atlantic storms
seldom appear in February. On the north
coast of western Cuba, however, and over
the Gulf of Mexico high north winds with
decided falls in tempera ture are not I'm
common in February.
"On the Atlantic Coast districts and the
Lake Region of the United States. The
severer storms of February come from
the Middle West and Southwest Well
marked storms OF this type begin with
high northeast winds and snow, and as
they progress the wind shifts to west ana
northwest with cold wave On the great
plains and in the Rocky Mountains and
plateau districts, February weather is
usually dry and cold. As during January,
however this entire region is subject to
cold waves of great severity, which, with
snow and high winds, sweep southyard
from the British possessions in the
Northwest and sometimes reach the Rio
Grande in northern Mexico.
In the Pacific Coast districts of The
United States. the season Of rains and
strong gales continues through February.
Frost is liable to occur IN any part of
the United States in February. In the
Gulf coast districts and in central and
northern Florida the likelihood of severe
freezes in February is less than for The

HER DRESS IN FLAMES.
Mrs. Coles Frightfully Burned by n
Coal OIL Stove Explosion.

Mrs. Nettie Coles. the wife of Raymond
Coles, telegraph operator in the employ
Of the Southern Railway, residing at 1881
Ninth Street northwest, was perhaps IA
tally burned about the head and body by
the explosion of coal oil stove at her
residence last night.
The stove, which was a new one, was
being used by Mrs Coles to cook her hus-
bands supper in order that he might re
port for work. At the time of her light
ing it. she failed 10 notice that some CT
the oil was trickling down upon the car
pet, and as she applied the match a burst
of flames enveloped the room. Fearing
the flames would set the house on fire,
Mrs. Coles called loudly for help to her
husband, who was in the next room.
Without waiting for him to respond the
plucky woman lifted the burning stove
and had just reached the window in order
to drop it in the rear yard, when it ex-
ploded setting fire TO a cotton wrapper
which she was wearing at the time. In
a second she was mass OF flames.
Screaming for help, the frenzied woman
ran downstairs and out into the street
where her cries were heard by Policeman
Martin. of the Eighth precinct. Instantly
comprehending the fearful plight of the
unfortunate woman. the policeman Tan
toward her, pulling off his heavy Uniform
coat as he ran. When he reached herr
Mrs. Coles, weak from exhaustion. sank
to the pavement the flames having in the
mean time burned away most OF her wear
ing apparel. Martin quickly wrapped his
coat about her and succeeded in smOth-
ering the flames, but not before she re-
ceived burns which viii probably result
in her death.
Willing hands carried her into the
house. and messengers were despatched
at once for Drs. Henderson and Fischer.
The doctors worked hsroically to revive
the woman who by this time. was IN
conscious, and the ambulance of Garfield
Hospital was hurriedly summoned. When
it arrived Mrs. Coles and her husband we're
driven rapidly to that institution. where,
at a late hour. it was reported that she
was resting easily, despite the severe in
juries she has sustained.
Policeman Martin. while endeayoring to
save the unfortunate woman, had his coat
ruined. and was slightly burned about the
hands and face.
Mrs. Hamlin. who rents the house.
stated that she could not account fer
the accident. She did not hear the eX-
plosion. and. in fact, did not know that
anything was the matter until she saw
the burning woman running through the
hall to the street.
The room occupied by the burned wo-
mans family was not damaged 10 any
great extent. although when the cry OF
fire was heard some one turned in an
alarm to which Engine Company and the
reserves of the Eighth precinct responded.
The two young children OF the unfor-
tunate woman Bessie. the eldest aged
five. and baby only five months old. were
cared for by ucighbors. Mr.. Coles and his
wife are residents Of Richmond. Va, end
have not been in the city quite three
weeks. Mr.. Coles having resigned posi-
ton in that city to come to Washington

THE GIRL IN BLUE" FINED.
New forks Moral Code Not WASH.
inGton's, Says Judge KimbaII

Mile de Leon. the dancer known as the
Girl in Blue was yesterday found guilty
by Judge Kimball and fined S25. Attorney
Campbell Darlington. who appeared in be-
half of the defendant, Immediately moved
for an arrest of judgment and new trial
and gave notice that 1t was his purpose TO
take the matter to the Court of Appeals.
When the case was reached yesterday
morning Sergeants Hodges and Jordan
were recalled to the stand to testify as
to the ages Of the people whom they found
in the audience the night Of the arrest
They said that there were boys thirteen
years Of age there as well as old men
whom they would say were seventy-fye.
Mr. Darlington consumed nearly an hour
in his argument in behalf of the defend
ant. He was followed by District Attor-
ney Pugh who claimed a conviction. but
stated that IL was not his desire to secure
a heavy sentence.
Judge Kimball reviewed the case at
some length and announced that the
charge was sustained beyond q doubt He
took occasion to say that things that are
OF daily occurrence In New York would not
be tolerated .Sr an instant in this city
Before he passed sentence Mr. Darlington
made a plea for a light penalty for his
maximum fine for disorderly conduct was
only S25 and he believed that he was JUS
tifed in imposing the full extent OF the
Law In this case
Last night surprise was sprung in the
affairs Of Mile. De Leon when Deputy
Skerin zeller Of Hagerstown, Nd. called
at police headquarters with a State war
rant charging the prisoner with conduct
ing an immoral show at that town. No
action looking 10 the surrender of the
woman could be taken ny the local police
because the charge against her in Mary
land is but misdomeanor and therefore
not subject to extrRdltion from the Dis
trict. Deputy Sheriff Zeller says the
woman and her husband appeared AT the
fair grounds at Hagertown last October
and we're arrested. They gave bail In the
sum OF $3.50 and according to the Maryland

LAND COLLEcTORSHIP

Percigal G. Rennick, deputy circuit
clerk at Peoria, is in Chicago, and the
indications are that he will secure the
suppors of Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom,
and in due time be appointed revenue
collector of the NEST important dis
trict in the whole world, for that is
what the Fifth Illinois, the Peoria
district, which includes Rock Island,
in reality is. The senators control
the appointment much as the con-
gresham controls that of the post
master. and it is no secret that Sena-
tor Cullom regards Mr.. Rennick as
the choice of the republicans Of the
district.
1t is well known that the indorse-
ments behind the deputy circuit clerk
are perfect. They include almost
every political factor in the entire
district, and there is very little left
for other aspirants to secure. L. is
also matter of record that ne has
been in the forefront of battle, as
chairman of the county central COM
mittee, during the last presidential
campaign. While the appointment
by the president may not come at
once, the understanding as to the
senators is already as go7d as as
sured. Mr.. Rennick went up to Chi
cago yesterday, and his friends conf
IDENTIFY expect that his selection will
be clinched and put beyond the pal
of peradventure ere his return.
