PERIODOF VERY SEVERE STORMS
In the Midst of important Weather
Events, Saws Foster.

At the request of the reporter for
the Washington Post, w. I. Foster,
the weather prophet, lifted the veil
of the future to the extent of reveal
ing these weather conditions for this
week, and he invites the test of his
predictions by the facts as they may
occur during the week:
August, September and October
1904, will bring about the greatest and
most important weather events of re-
cent years. August is usually quiet
weather month on the continent and
fully two-thirds of the time is equally
quiet on the oceans. The reverse will
be true of the incoming August. AS
a test of planetary meteorology, |
will make definite forecast as to
time, but will, in this case, not en-
deaYor to locate the storms:
The week of which August IS will
be the central day will bring a pc
riod of very severe storms all around
the earth. The Atlantic Ocean and
eastern part of North American con-
tinent are affected by two great
weather systems, each Independent of
the other One of these systems brings
US the transcontinental weather dis
turbances that moves in an easterly
direction. From that source will
come a series of very important
weather events during the week men
toned, and these storms will reach
their greatest intensity not far from
Aug. IS. Their paths will probably
lie north of Washington, through
Pennsylvania. New York, and the
New England states.
1.-The other system of disturbances
encircles the Saragassa Sea in the
North Atlantic Ocean. includes the
tropical hurricanes; and the severe
storms that moves northeastward
along the Atlantic coast. That sys-
TEN will organize a tropical hurricane
not far from August 10, probably in
the Caribbean Sea. 1t will move
with more than usual speed and
rapidity, increase in force till August
81, near which it will be at it's greatest
intensity. 1t will probably move into
northern parts of the Gulf of Mexico
but l only wish to call attention to
dates and ask that readers watch the
weather maps and Weather Bureau
reports for subsequent movements of
that tropical storm"

ANOTHER BALLOON BURNED.
This Time the Accident Took Place at
Friendsville.

ms ime the Accident ook Place at
Friendsville.
Last Saturday was a big day at
Friendsyille, it being the occasion of
an excursion from Connellsyille and
other points in Pennsylvania to that
town which brought hundreds of
people there for the day.
Among the amusements provided
for the entertainment of the visitors
was the balloon ascension and para
chute leap to be made by Mrs. Muir
ply, the monkey balloonist, but in
times as before the balloon failed to
go up, the cause being an explosion
of gas inside the sphere and the
almost instant destruction of the
fabric composing it. The balloon was
the property of Mr.. S. F. Herr, of
Oakland, and was the same one which
he tried several times to initiate but
always failed.
When the balloon took fire a big
crowd was about it and the flames
very seriously burned three or four
men, one having his hand and arm so
badly injured that the flesh hung
from it.

IN MEMORIAM.

MT. George Hughes was born in Co., lumbus, Ga, December 26, 1889, and died in Montgomery, Ala, Sunday, Oc- tober 30, 1904.
 He was the son of the late Mir George P. Hughes. one of the most popular and best known men connect ed with the Western Railway of Ala bama, and the subject of this memoir was also connected with the same road for number of years.
 In early youth MT. Hughes removed with his parents from Columbus to Montgomery, where he resided up to the time of his death.
 His parents paid special attention to his education. He spent a number of years in the select schools of Miss Le- titia Tyler and Professors George w. Thomas and Bartlett.
 MT. Hughes possessed an intellect of high order. In conversation he reveal ed a store of general information that made him companionable with those who laid claim to special recognition upon the grounds of reputed scholar ship.
 He was genial in disposition and re- fined and cultured in manner. In the social circle he was full of vivacity His play of humor added a charm to any company in which he entered His friends were not a few. and they were bound to him with hooks of steel Tn sickness he was a faithful friend and in time of sorrow he was ever at hand with a gentle and noiseless ministra- tion which many will remember and cherish through the years to come,
 His tender and thoughtful care for his devoted mother and sisters com bined the strength of nobility and the gentleness and sweetness of a woman
 For many years he was a member of the Sunday School of Dexter Avenue Methodist Church One of the last times he was at a public gathering he attended a song service at that church,
 He loved his home and always de- lighted in doing thoae little things which make home attractive. The flow beauty before his touch. He loved the beautiful wherever he saw it.
 In his last hours he was surrounded with love and attention. Faces be- dewed with tears bent over him as amid tho evening shadows his spirit fiut- tered from its tenement of clay into the great world beyond.
 He leaves mother. three sisters and many realtivcs and friends to mourn his departure.
 A large concourse of people attended his funeral services. which were con- ducted by Rev. J. W. Shoaff. assisted by Rev. A. L. Andrews. His body was laid to rest in OakwocI Cemetery. Flowers that he loved so much in life rested in Garlands upon his grave.

MAHONEY AND MADIGAN
PoPuLAR MEMBERS OF EAGLES
 DELIVERED COAL"
Their Embarrassing Experiences While Engaged in Dispensing Christi mas Charity to the Poor of
 Montgomery.

Edward Mahoney, sometimes ball player, sometimes umpire, Is stage carpenter and an Eagle. Joseph Mad fran, sometimes globe-trotteT and sometimes merchant, Is also "a stage carpenter and an Eagle. Both gen tlemen are of French--or is 1t Hi5~n- ian extraction-and they know good joke when they see one whether 1t Is on the stage or on themselves or on somebody else.
 Being Eagles they were the first to volunteer to help in the distribution of coal, which that order Is conducting for the poor of Montgomery. And be- ing of French, or Hibernian extrac- tion, they were bound to have some experiences worth relating.
 Here Is one from Madigan:
 'T was on one of the coal wagons bound for the furthermost suburb Of Montgomery. A steady rain was fall ing, a nice cold stream of water was flowing down the back of my neck A nice new hat I had just bought. was soaking and 1t was leaking black streams of dye down various portions of my classic countenance. My col lar was like a dlsh-rag and there was A. cold puddle of water in every one of my coat pockets.
 '"The driver and I got lost In maze of small houses just where the cotton plantations join the city After we had wandered around in the rain some thirty minutes looking for the name on the list that had been given me I stopped an old nigger with the ques- tion: Can you tell me where Mir. So- and-So lives?
 "Mr. So-and-So?, was the sort of answer I got. Yassir. he lives right across de street dar. Right whar yo' see dat big smallpox sign.
 A pathetic experience also fell to the lot of Mahoney. He had been furnished with a list of the needy and placed on a wagon loaded with bar rels of coal for the poor.
 q was looking for a house in the suburbs where they told me coal was badly needed" said Mahoney. The number was on my list all right and soon located it. It wasn't the sort of house I would have picked out as place where they needed coal and need ed it badly. It was a fine two-story cottage with lace curtains in the win dows I felt sorter suspicious of the house, but l was out to deliver coal and that was what I was going to do.
 T knocked on the door. It was opened by a great. big, husky chap dressed in the latest style. He was built like Jim Jeffries and he had a sinner on as big as an incandescent fight.
 well what do you want?' he ask ed, and I stood there and shivered.
 T knew that there was a mistake somewhere. l knew, too. that if l of fered that big. millionaire chap a bar rel of coal he would probably take the whole barrel up and break 1t over my head I backed off towards the steps.
 Well, what do you want?' he ask cd again, just like that.
 This upset me. l said, still back ing off, What, what time Is 1t
