A Cold Winter.

In the Herald's local columns of Sun
day there was some instructive informa-
ton as to the severity of the past winter.
That notice did not, however, exhaust
the interesting features sofmcteorofogical
summaries of the three winter months,
especially when considered collectively.
The mean temperature for December was
the lowest for that month since 1873
both registering As. The lowest Decem-
Der temperature in the past tlIirty-one
years was 1S76-4O. The mean for Jam
nary, 1902, was the same as December
preceeding-45. This was the lowest
Since 1892, which was IL. The lowest
January temperature in the past thirty
one years was 1SS6-39 The mean for
February, 1902, was 44-the lowest since
1899, which was Al. That was thelow-
est for February in the past thii ty-one
years, though 1895 marked the same.
Thus we see that each of the past win
ter's months were unusually cold, and
far below the average ofthirty-one years;
and So for February.
AS whole the winter past was the
coldest in thirty-one years, at least, ex-
cept that of 1S98-99. The three months
mean for each of these two years was
the same-45. For the winter of 1901-O2
however, the cold has been more uniform
ly distributed. 1t was the extreme cold
of February. 1899, that lowered the
average of the whole winter ofthat year,
to level with the winter just past. The
rainfall of Dectmber last was far above
the average-January and February far
below. 1t is the cold rather than the
rain that has so retarded planting oper-

A ROAST FOR SPALDING
FRANK ROBSON GIVES OUT A
 LETTER.
Says the Man Who Claims to be President of the League is Re- sponsible for Its Pre-
 sent Plight,

Cleveland. O., Jan. l0-President Frank De Haas Robson. of the St. Lotus Ma tionaI League Baseball Club today gave out an open letter to A. C: Spaiding Tn reply to d published interview with the latter d few days since. In part 1t says:
 "A number of 'years ago the Chicago Club of which you were then President. began the most abominable practice tano in my orinion the beginning of the down. fall of tho National I-eaguel. selling the releases of Clarkson and Kelly Tor $zO,oeo to the Boston Club. You established q precedent that ever since has compelled every other club to follow 1t or get out of the baseball business. Under the method established by you and your Chicago Club the St. Louis baseball com pany during the season of 1900, paid out over $30,000 for the releases of ball play CTS to strengthen its club.
 When you began the practice Of sell ing ball players. that moment the Na- tional League lost tae respect and con- tidence of the baseball players and the players were forced to form the Players Protective Association and demand of the National League that this ,tyrannical pro cess could no longer be endured, and the National League accepted and agreed to their demands.
 Mir. Brush suggested to you to re- tire 1 say to you to retire.
 "Before doing so, you might enlighten an anxious baseball public from ocean to ocean as to why the Chicago Club has not paid Adrian C. Anson any dividends on his Chica go baseball club stock (which he paid for). also, why you took MT. An son on a trip across the ocean only a few years ago and only gave him few hours notice pending d syndicate base ball deal between the Chicago baseball club and the Cleveland baseball club that was never consummated, and at which time you were wearing what was called in baseball politics 'gumshoes.
 Take away the screen and let the public see that the only object you have in view in this baseball controversy is to renew the baseball contract between the National League and A. G. Spa1ding and Brothers.
 T will try and keep in the front firing line and remain there as long as the ammunition lasts. The supply is very large.
 Yours truly,
 Frank De Haas Robson"

 A gust of wind resulted in the marriage or Harry Reynolds and Mary Thorne. They were married at the brides home near English lnd this afternoon.

He left Louisville bound for his home. to spend Christmas on Tuesday morning. The trip was uneventfu until he reached English. He was tired or the smoker and stood upon the car platform As the train pulled out of the station a gust of wind struck him. and away went his hat It had his name and Evansville written on the brim He was hatless when he reached his destination. The next day he went to the postoffice. There package neaty wrapped addressed to him.
