Relatives of Wealthy Mrs. Todd Don't
Wait for Funeral.

New York, Oct. Soft was learned
yesterday that wealthy Mrs. Maragata
Todd, who was found dead Friday night
in railroad cut in a suburb of Phila-
delphia, had arrived in that city and
had left there presumably for New York
when she met ieath
Coroner Scholer said last night that
he considered the circumstances of Mrs.
Todd's death very suspicious, but that
he had no jurisdiction as she died in
another city. He woul1. however, he
said, prevent the funeral from taking
place and order an investigation If re-
quested to do so by the PHILADELPHIA
coroner or police The body of Mrs.
Todd will be buried today and the police

tween the factions warning for control

Mrs Todd's estate is estimated to be
worth from $3.50. 900 to 81, DOC. 900. She
was nearly so years of age and had been
successful in real estate transactions
for years. She was three times married,
her last husband being Louis L. Todd

that the assessment levied will bank

GUESSING AT THE WEATHER.
Government Signal Service Can Not

So important is a knowledge of
coming weather to the busine ss inter-
ests of the country that some years
ago our government esta bliShed, and
yet maintains at enormous expense, a
weather bureau for the express pur-
pose of furnishing reliable daily pre-
dictions and PROBABILITIES. With that
class of our people to whom scientific
Investigation appeals the weather bu-|
reau has become highly popular and
its predictions are relied upon by them
with good deal of confidence An
other large class whose member each
has a system of weather forecasting
of his own, look upon the weather
maps and the predictions of the
weather bureau as mere gueSses and
promptly forget the ninety that are
verified and remember the ten that
fail.
AS a matter of fact, from the very
nature of things meteorological the
predictions Of the weather bureau can
not be always correct The system is
based upon what knowledge is pos
sessed of meteorological laws. which
is not full and complete and the at
mospheric conditions as ascertained by
various instrume nts. If all the
weather changes depended upon the
lower atmospheric conditions the in
struments used by the weather OBJ
server would promptly and correctly
indicate them and make verification

and violent changes are carried in

The oldest and most universal

south it will also be warm moon,
but if far north it will be a cold
moon.
There is a class of moon weather
prognosticators that hold to the
theory that when the new moon lies
level on its back it will be wet
moon, because it is in a position to
hold water, and if it hangs by one
corner it will be a dry moon, because
all the water has already run out. To
ordina mind these two moon
theories contradict each other, but in

MORE PAY FOR PREA0HERs.
Salaries Have Not Advanced in Pro-
portion to Expenses.

Washington, oct. 8O.-Among the
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church, now in session in Washington
the opinion IS expressed that the pay
of the ministers of the gospel has not
stantly increasing cost of living.
Salaries paid to the clergy said
Bishop J. F. Berry of Buffalo, "are
none too good at best, and. taking the
country over, have remained sta
tionary for some time. Generally it
is safe to say that salaries have not
advanced to meet existing conditions.
Living expenses. however. have been
growing year after year, they will be
higher this year than last and the
church people ought to meet this sit
uatiOn in the material way so neces-
sary even for the members of the
clergy"
