A BROOKLYN clergyman has given
considerable time to a shrewd study Of
the weather records, and is inclined to
think that the reports of the falling of
in church attendance for the last three
years, in comparison with the figures of
earlier periods, must be attributed in
large measure to the weather. He
saws that in the winter of 100000 at
least four-ffths of the Sundays were in
element; that in the winter of 1902
'O3 one-half of the first days in the
passing weeks were stormy, and that IN
the season of 1901'02 every Sunday
was gloomy, with rain or snow or bad
weather of one kind or another. People
who are not inclined to attend church
attribute their absence to one cause OF
another The bad weather is generally
given as an excuse, but it often occurs
that the same class of people stay away
from church for the reason that the
weather is too pretty for one to be
housed up for two hours on Sunday.
Weather keeps few people from banquets
or New Years and Christmas festivities,
and practically none from secular en-
plOvments.

St. Petersburg, April S.-The peas

asked for authority to subscribe $500

Oyer a Dam.

Troy, N. Y, April S.-The ferryboa!
Central that runs from DOW street, Troy,
to Green Island, went over the State
dam a 7 o'clock this morning, the river
is high and the fog so dense that Joseph
Boss, the man in charge of the craft, was
not aware that she was close to the dam.
After the boat went over, Boss lost con-
troll of the boat and the craft hoated
toward the dock. There were four men
and two women passengers aboard and
as the boat neared the shore the men
jumped. A hole was stove in the side
of the boat and it began to float down
stream with the two women aboard. Al
though panic stricken they caught hold
of the edge of the roof and held on until
rescued.

THAT it is Mr.. ROosevelts disposition
to be dictator those who come in close
contact with him are we'll aware. His
action in the Panama business and his
recent pension order overriding the laws
of Congress are proofs of this assertion,
but he has even taken a step farther and
now announces that Mr.. Elihu Root is
his candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for President in 1908. If Mr..
Roosevelt is elected next fall he will not
try for the nomination in 1908, he tells

Threatened Confagration Checked

New York, April S.-A fire which
threatened millions of dollars worth o.
property, started this morning in the
six story building at the corner of West
Broadway and Franklin street, occupied
by ]. S. Barron & Co., wooden ware
dealers. The building, because Of its
inaammable contents, was soon mass
of flames. The roof fell, and the flames
shot across the elevated structure and
threatened the houses on the other side
of the street. Four alarms we're sent
in, which brought sufficient fire appara-
tus to prevent a general confagration.
Several firemen were overcome by smoke
and others were blistered by the intense
heat. The damage is estimated at
$500, 900.

AN UPHEAvAL which may send many
of the leading MormOns to the penlten-
tiarv is threatened in Utah. Prosecution
is likely for those men who have taken
nlural wives since the manifesto OF Pres
ident Woodruff, of the Mormon Church,
in 1890, announcing the abandonment
of polygamy. Hitherto these men sup
posed they would have the aid and pro-
lection of all the power of the church.
The action of President Smith a few days
since, however, sustained unanimously
at the conference of the church, puts a
different light on the situation. 1t de-
clared that any person who violated the
manifesto against polygamy would be
liable to punishment by the church, as
we'll as by the civil courts and would not
be protected in any way.
