OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
WEATHER FORECASTS.

Following is an extract from an ed
itorial published in the Monthly
Weather Review Washington d. @. }
for March, 1908, in connection with
certain remarks of a correspondent
from Ruxton. Md, relative to conf
dence of farmers. ETC., in the pre-
dictions of the 'so-called weather pro-
phets, whose vivid imaginations are
portrayed in the pages of nearly all
cheap almanacs.
eve are encouraged to believe that
the weather forecasts of the ordinary
farmers almanacs are not greatly re-
lied upon and that those who have
considerable moneyed interests at
stake are daily guided in their trans
actions by the published forecasts of
the weather bureau. At least, this
is what we must infer from the num-
erous expressions of satisfaction that
are received when ever any great at
mospheric crises passes by. Although
in the majority of cases. the predic-
tions of the almanacs do not command
entire confidence, yet, as our cores
pondent states, the mere fact that they
are regarded with interest. lenience
and even respect. by so many persons
suffices TO show how little the spirit
of modern meteorology has as yet re-
placed the ancient belief in long range
weather forecasts. Perpetual motion.
squaring the circle. transmutation of
o1s or ra han
ished from mems minds, but planet
ary influences, fortune telling and lot
teries still have their devotees.
1--WE fully recognize the value of
the work of those long range forecast
ers who are comparing early weather
records with those of the present day
and are searching for cycles. chrono-
logical periods, or geographical rela-
tions, by means of which the weather
at distant places or distant times may
possibly be foreseen. They have n
tedious work before them and will,
we fear, reap very unsatisfactory
results.
We would not deter any honest in
vestigation of this empirical sort by
students who have neither taste nor
ability for any other work, for it GER
tainly is possible that we may be mis-
taken in our. forebodings, and that
good results may flow from their ro
searches. But we think that there
are much brighter prospects for those
who are able to attack the problems
of meteorology with the weapons that
have been fashioned by skillful
mathematicians and mechanicians "
And we might add rather than by
sons, second -sighters and hallucina-
tors.

"A Friend of the Family"

Judging by the interest being display ed in the farcical comedy. "A Friend of the Family" which comes to the Jeff ferson theatre next Tuesday, it will be one of the comedy events of the sea- son. The story of the play deals with the endeavors of an American importer of Japanese silks to shield a former love affair with a beautiful young lady while in Japan from his intensely jealous and romantic wife.
 Several relations and friends of the family are introduced and eventually get so mixed up in affairs that the inter ested party himself cannot tell "a rela- tive of the family from "A Friend of the Family" George W. Barnum as the sporty silk importer, Bartley Swift, and Miss Alice Johnson as the heroine of his first love affair are the principal fun producers and they are surrounded by q large and clever company. The dialogue and situations are said to be funny. The scenes being chiefly laid in Japan, give ample scope for some quaint and beau- tiful stage settings, and Manager Cos man has embraced every opportunity of embellishlng the surroundings.

David Warfield.

David Warhed, who made a favorable impression here last season, will be at the Jefferson theatre tonight Although he seemed to spring into the theatrical arena at the very beginning fully equipped for securing stellar honors, he shows this year q gain in breadth, in repose and in the mastery of details which is at once satisfactory and indicative to still more notable achievements.
 One laughs at simon Lewis grotesque makeup, his shrewd tricks, his humorous sayings and his pretty endorsements, but his misfortunes. his griefs and his heart aches appeal directly and strongly to the feelings.
 "The Auctoneer" exhibits the instinct of David Belasco as an author and pro- ducer, and a notable feature of this, the third season of it's presentation, is the fact that the company assisting Warield in it's production is almost precisely the same as on it's original performance, in- cluding among it's members such we'll known players as Marie Bates, Maria Davis. Eugene Garfield, Harry Rogers, Eva Randolph, Maud Beckwith, Charles Chappelle, W. M. Frederic and others.

WILL MAKE COUNCIL
 ENFORCE THE LAW
CHURCH PEOPLE OF BESSEMER HOLD MEETING AND FORM A LAW AND ORDER CLUB TO SEE AFTER BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Bessemer December 27.-(speeial.)- )-The congregations of all the churches of Bes- semer met at the First Methodist church tonight and organized a law and order club, consisting of fifty-eight members. The object of the organization is to see that the mayor and aldermen do their duty and that the law is enforced Many addresses were made urging this action.
 The movement was brought about by the action of the council a a special meet ing last Wednesday night, reducing the liquor license from 5000 to $600 a year. At the last regular meeting the board had raised the liquor license from $500 to S1OOO
 The club also pledged itself to fight dives and gambling dens. This was in- spired by the mayor and aldermen issuing license to an alleged gambling device Christmas. The club contends that the state laws prohibit the licensing of such devices. The cause of the contention was a table set with coins of various denomi- nations. Rings were sold and the person successful in ringing a coin was entitled to it.
 Several eloquent speeches were made. The Hon. James H. Hard delivered the opening speech. He was followed by the Rev. Dr. J. L. Thompson the pastor of the First Baptist church, the Rev. J. L. Britain, the pastor of the First Metho- dist church, and the Rev. D. D. Taylor, the pastor of the First Christian church. A committee on membership, consisting of twenty-five. was appointed to solicit members for the club.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Everything Seems Waiting on Che Fal
 Eastern Situation.

London. December 27.-What little bus mess was transacted on the stock eX- change last week was completely dom- mated by the varying phases of the far eastern situation. Japanese securities were severely depressed at the beginning of the week. but became steadier when it was seen that tn negotiations between Russia and Japan were likely 10 continue. De- pression, however, was rather general and was only resisted by the American market. The Statist calls attention to the fact that good American bonds are grow ing in favor all over Europe, and adds:
 If the highest class of such bonds fell sufficiently in price 10 yield per cent, buying would be on q unprecedently large scale. As it is. there have been lately immense purchases both of bonds and shares by French, German and other con tinenta1 investors.

WY Bishop smlth Leaves charlotte.

Because he found that his residence in
Charlotte was causing embarrassm ent to
two or more Methodist preachers in this
State, Bishop A. Coke Smith has left
Charlotte, and is now at Willoughby
Beach, Va, and after the summer ID
over, will make his home in Norfolk,
va. ss..., t.,, \ :
He had lived in Charlotte eight months,
had liked the place, but he found two
well-known ministers and their friends
looked gloom;ly upon his residence in
North Carolina.
Three gears from now the General
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, will be empowered I'd
elect bishop In addition to the present
bishops. Bishop Smiths living here was
only q matter of convenience, or only
because the climate suited his health,
but would it not be declared that this
State, having. one bishop, was not en-.
titled to another2
Bishop Smith felt the influence that
was directed against him, and, acting
upon the advice of friends, left Char.
lotte for good.
And his departure, 1t is said, will
probably destroy, rather than benefit
the ambitions of the two clergynen who
are 50 anxious to become bishops.
