William s. Devery, who has come out in the

that he would take his batteries TO Brooklyn ana
train them on the venerable head OF hugh NC
Iaughlin next Wednesday night. He will speak In
Williamsburg on that evening, and later IN the sea-
son may occupy the platform at the Academy or
Music Speaking of it Devery said:
If my throat holds out I will throw some hot
shot into Mclaughlin and his ring, which robs the
young men of Brooklyn Of all their rights Tnat
old woman Mclaughlin is quoted as having said
that the Germans OF Brooklyn will knife me at the

rain IN M4NY STATES.
Last Night 1t Really Looked Prom
Using for This City.

The prospect last night for <all OF rain which
will be Of value good. AS an earnest or
what may be expected. the sidewalks were
moistened from time to time late last evening.
Yesterday rain was reported in nearly every
State east of the Mississippi River in parts of
the Missouri Valley, Montana. North and South
Dakota Nebraska. Colorado and Wyoming.
Last night the Weather Bureau prophesied
showers here to-day and tomorrow While
these may interfere with the parades and the
sporting incidents. few will be inclined to grum-
bic, for the rain is needed
Just how badly the rain is needed is indicated
by the following figures Of the rainfall since
April / and the normal fall for this period.
The last rain Of consequence was that OF April
16 when a light rainfall occurred. The total
fall for April was 2.SS inches. The normal fall
for April is 3 IS inches. Since May l the total
fall of the different showers has been 32 of an
inch The normal fall for the month of May Is
31S inches Enough rain had not fallen before
mi might last night TO make much of an impress
sion on the rain gauge of the Weather bureau,
but the weather conditions were favorable for
mo rain fall
