Hicks Forecasts for April.

The storm period which was central
with the full moon at the close of March
will extend into the 1st and end of April.
storms of rain, wind, low baromerer and
high temperature, will have given place
to snow, rising barometer and much cold
er in all western sections as April comes
in. Cold, northerly winds with frost and
freezing northward, will follow about the
1st to the Ord progressively from west to
east.
About the 4th to the 9th falls reac
tionary storm period, during which time
falling barometer, change to warmer,
with moro rain and storminess will be
probable.
i.> VIlcan storm period, central on
the 10th, will bring series of pronounced
storms The elimination of these storms
will fall about Sunday the 10th to Wed
nesday the 18th. Look for high tempera
ture, low barometer, with rain, hail and
thunder, progressively from west to east,
on the 18th, 10Th and 18th. Rapid rise of
barometer and change to quite cool will
follow behind the storms, but reaction
to storm conditions will suddenly re.
turn, and from the 10Th to the 18th it will
again become very warm, progressively,
the barometer will again fall to low
readings and decided storms of rain, hail
and thunder will occur along paths of
low barometric pressure. The sudden
revulsons of Venus from hot to cold will
be felt at this time and at each distur-
bance during the rest of the month.
A regular Vulcan Venus perturbation
will be central on the 21st extending
from the 10Th to 23rd The barometer
will drop low and the temperature rise
very high as this period progresses, re-
sulting in many vicious thunder and hail
storms on an d touching the 21st, 22nd and
23rd. The normal tendency to April
thunder showers will grow into decided
and far-reaching transforms, with dan
gerous winds and possible tornadoes
during the progress Of thess disturbances
One of the most decided, and perhaps
violent storm periods of the month,
extends from about the 26th to Goth. This
period is nearer the center of the Venus
disturbance, is in Mercury perturoa-
ton, with Moon on the celestial equator,
in perigee and full.

Fairfax Has Assumed Title.

Mr.Albert Kirby Fairfax, eldest son of
the late DR.. John Contee Fairfax, of
Prince Georges county, Md, and the in
heritor of his titles of Lord Fairfax and
Baron Cameron in the peerage of Scot
land, has recently assumed these titles
and has taken his seat among his peers
in the British House of Lords.
When Mr.. Fairfax went to England,
two years ago, it was with no intention
of appearing in that country as any other
than an unassuming American citizen.
The object of his change of residence was
simply the acceptance Of clerkship
offered him in a London bank. His
claims to distinction, however, were too
we'll known for him to remain in OBJ
security, and he was from the first sought
out by those among whom his rightful
position was we'll known Within the
past four months he has been legally
adopted by wealthy Englishman as the
heir to his estates, and was finally per-
suaded into wearing the titles which he
is now able to support in a fitting man
ner.
Mrs Tunstall Smith, of Baltimore, is a
sister of Lord Fairfax, and two other sis
tiers, the Misses Fairfax, also make their
winter home in Baltimore, on Park ave-
nue.. His mother, Mrs. John Contee
Fairfax, resides partly at the old family
estate in Prince Georges county and
partly in New York, where Mr.. Edward
Fairfax and the youngest sister, Mrs.
Rhett, formerly Miss Frances Fairfall
have their home.
Although the title of Lord Fairfax was
first worn in this country by the great
lord proprietor of the Northern Neck Of
Virginia, the friend and patron of Gen
eral Washington, it has never been al
lowed to lapse through continuous resi-
dence in this country, being confirmed
forever to the family here, as elsewhere
by a special grant of the crown. 1t has
not been assumed for several generations,
the successive inheritors, as a rule, enter
ing profession and preferring simply
the designation of doctor thus acquired
