many things to delight the visitor,

there. The people were all strangers
to me and I did not understand the

weary of delving into the past, among
the graves of the long ago and recit-

CHRISTMAS WEATHER
SHOULD BE PLEASANT.

Records of Weather Bureau Show
Warm Weather On Christmas.
If any prediction concerning Christ
mas weather can be made from the
records in former years, tomorrow
should be clear and warm. The tenn
peratures have been mild In all cases.
The following is the record for Christ
mas day during the past ten years:
In 1902 the highest point reached
by mercury was Sc degrees, the low
est 81 degrees, and the weather was
partly cloudy; in 1901 the maximum
was 70 degrees, the minimum 81 de-
grees, and the weather was clear. In
1900 the maximum was 81 degrees, the
minimum AZ, and the weather was
clear; in 1899 the maximum was So,
the minimum 81, and the weather was
partly cloudy; in 1898 the maximum
was 81, the minimum, 46, and the
weather cloudy.
In 1897 the maximum was A degrees,
the minimum 81. and the weather
cloudy; in 1896 the maximum was A
degrees, the minimum 2S, and the
weather clear; in 1895 the maximum
was "A degrees, the minimum so, and
the weather partly cloudy; in 1894 the
the weather partly cloudy; and in 1898
the maximum was IA, the minimum
40, and the weather partly cloudy.
No prediction has been made as yet
by the local forecaster, Mr.. H. B.
Boyer, though the Indications at pres
ent are that fine weather will be ex-
perienced. The average temperature,
if it comedies with the normal for that
day, should be "a degrees. Though
deficiencies have been recorded for
every day of the month thus far, they
have been only 8 or degrees. Judg-
ing from this the average temperature
on Christmas should be close to so de-
grees.
The highest point reached by mer-
curry yesterday was Sc degrees, at 8
o'clock in the afternoon. The lowest
point was AZ degrees, recorded at Z
o'clock in the morning. This made
40 degrees the average temperature
for the day. while the normal called
for an average of 81 degrees Tn.
made the deficiency for yesterday =
degrees, and brought the monthly de-
ficiency up to 141 degrees.

NO EXERCISES MARKED
CLOSE OF SCHOOLS.

The public schools closed yesterday
at o'clock for the Christmas holidays.
They will reopen for the. winter and
spring terms on Jan. 4. No exercises
marked the closing day, the children in
the different grades being dismissed
as on other days. During the last
three days of the term all the children
have been asked by the teachers to
observe the laws of the city regarding
the use of fireworks and explosives on
Broughton street, and to be careful,
in all their celebrations, that no trees,
or other properties, were damaged
and that elderly people and ladies were
not annoyed.
The closing days of the schools were
marked with high averages for attend
ance, there being scarcely any pupils
who were absent from their places.
This is not accredited by the teachers
to any fondness, on the part of the
children, for examinations, but rather
to the knowledge that unless they are
taken at this time that no averages
will be given until later in the year.
AS result the attendance has been
very close to perfect.

PETITION TO COUNCIL
FOR ASPHALT PAVEMENT.
CASTOR Street Property Owners Ask
for This Material.

CASTOR Street Property Owners Ask
for This Material.
What appears to be the first formal
step towards the settling of the Gas
ton street paving question is in the
nature of two petitions, attached, from
property owners on the street and ad-
dressed to City Council. This petit
ton was read last night and referred
to the Committee of the Whole.
The first petition relates that the
signers desire CASTOR street paved with
asphalt from Habersham street to
Drayton. with the proviso that the
owners, who have paid their propor-
lions for laying shell pavement be cred
tied with what they paid for SHE'LL as
against what they may have to pay
for asphalt, so that they will have paid
for only one pavement" This petition
is signed by eight property owners, and
two go on record as being opposed to
either asphalt or brick, although pre-
fering asphalt.
The second petition Is a duplicate of
the first except that two additional
block are taken, in, from Drayton street
to Whitaker, and is signed by twelve
property owners. The petitioners fur
Their ask Council to pass ordinances
so that the street can be paved with
asphalt But the city can do moth
ing in the premises until the property
owners have withdrawn their in1unc-
ton suit. The matter will come up
for discussion at the next regular ses-
sion of Council.

Christmas Eve in recent years, or the
capacity of the police station will be
taxed.
Besides sergeants and detectives there
will be thirty uniformed men on duty
on Broughton street alone. Legiti-
mate fun will be permitted, but the
shooting of fireworks will not be toll
Grated and the superintendent of po-
lice has issued positive instructions to
his men to make no exceptions.
In Yamacraw the Flying Squad
ron," picked mounted men, under Sergt.
T. c. Murphy, will preserve order and
the entire force will be on duty. Supt.

men and all of the details have been
made UP. There will be two men on
duty in the Tenderloin, and mounted
men will patrol the territory in the
vicinity of the Union Station. There
will be two call officers, two turkeys,
and two desk sergeants on duty at po-
lice headquarters, and the Superintend-
ent of police and the detectives will
spend the night at headquarters.
Supt. Garfunkel has also arranged
to have Police Surgeon e. S. Os-
borne and DR.. B. Courson, city ply
stefan, remain at headquarters to
answer emergency calls with the po-
lice ambuIances. 1t is intended to have
matters so arranged that in cases of
serious ARRAYS physicians will not
have to be sent for. A stock of band
ages and ointments has been secured
from the City Dispensary, and the
physicians will be prepared to attend
to patients without delay.
