THE COMING WINTER
WILL Be OF MILD TYPE.
So Says the Weather Bureau Fore
caster al Washington.
THREE SUCCESSIVE HARD WINTERS
Have Not Occurred Since Early in the
Fifties-Warm Period Promised
for Thanksgiving Mercury Has
Been Falling Gradually.

No one need buy snow shovels
or arctic shoes yet, -. said Fore
caster Alfred J. Henry at the
weather bureau. The snow will
not be here for several weeks, yet
when it does come we expect that
it will not be heavy, but more of
the nature of that being experience
ed in the great Lake region, a snow
followed by warm spell.
AT present the temperature is
cold all over the country. The
last warm spell that we had was
October 10, when the maximum
temperature was SO degrees. Since
then we have had a constant drop
ping of the mercury until October
22, when it reached freezing point,
and has remained in that neighbor-
hood ever since, rising few de
grees above and then dropping
down belowit. We will very like
ly have pretty fair weather for
some time yet.
"Ordinarily the first snow of the
year comes the last week in Novem-
Der. This year, as the cold season
has set in SO soon, we may have a
warm spell in the latter part of the
mouth, the season commonly
known as Indian summer.
This winter will be watched
with great interest by every one,
an account of the two winters pre-
ceeding. Last year was very cold,
and so was the year before. If
this winter is cold throughout, it
will be very remarkable as it has
been fifty years since there have
been three successive cold winters,
the last occurrence of the kind be-
ing the winters of 1854, 1855 and
1856. The winters of 1855 and
1856 were much below the normal
winter temperature of Washington,
which is 34.5 degrees, making the
minimum temperature for the sea
sons 2S.3 degrees, while last winter
was only six degrees below the
normal, or So. 5 degrees m inimum.
Last year the total snowfall was
Al inches, much more than the
usual fall, which is about 25
inches"
When asked what they thought
of w. T. Fosters predictions of
November weather as published
last week, the weather bureau Off
cia1 said:
"There absolutely nothing to
the prediction. 1t is purely guess
work and not based upon any cal
culations at all. Any one could
do just as well and perhaps might
make better guees.

ed boom for him. He is fully
competent to be president of the
Senate. In 1880, nineteen years
ago. he was speaker Of the House
of Delegates. He was one of the
most capable speakers who has
ever presided over a Maryland
House of Delegates.
Senator Arthur P. German. IT,,
of Howard county, has also been
suggested for president, 1t IS
said, however, that Mr.. German
would not accept the position if
rendered to him.
The regular Democratic party
organization will stand pat. I"
The usual post-election party re-
organization" talk has been start
ed.
1t will certainly have no weight
among regular and other Demo
Gratis at this time, as they are too
tired of politics to plunge into an
other fray. The regulars will not
surrender the organization any
more than they surrendered it af-
ter their defeats in 1895 ard 1897.
The first move Of the organization,
it is said, will be to secure the ell
ection of Mr.. Lloyd Wilkinson as
state insurance commissioner. In
order to secure his election it will
be necessary to break the under
standing said to exist between the
Governor and Comptroller Atkin-
son, and by which they will vote
together to elect a commissioner.
1t is also safe to say that the or
ganization will stand by Mr.. Muir
rsy Vandiver for re. election as state
treasurer.
The organization will make
every effort to control both houses
of the legislature. The leaders
say they have no intention to
bring on a fight with Governor
WarGeld or 10 form a combination
to reject his nominations.

to prayer? No advantage from
such delay can possibly accrue to
God. Often the things requested
is palpably in accord with His
will and purpose. Itmay be that.
in the delay and the consequent
persistence and importantly re-
quired, that state of mind and
heart is developed which will make
the best and uttcrmost use of the
blessings when at length it is con-
ferred.
Prayer is an active factor in hui
man affairs. Things come to
pass through prayer that otherwise
never would transpire. If Nehe-
miah had only wept, his tears
would have availed nothing. He
prayed, and his name stands next
to that of Zerubbabel as having
supplemented and conserved his
work; for the temple without the
wall could not have stood until
Shiloh came.
Glorious achievements are the
out come of deep feeling. Nehe-
miah's emotions fairly chise1ed
his face. If his had been a mere
passing and sentimental regret at
the forlorn condition of Jerusalem,
he would never have been the hon
ored instrument of Providence in
the rearing of the walls. He is
immortal, because his heroic, pa
triotic, and devout soul was capa-
bic of the deepest feeling

NINE SKELETONS ON STATE FARM
GruesOine Discovery By Residents Of
Wiles Hill-hany Visit the Place.

OEueSO1ne discovery Dy heSl0entS OF
Wiles Hiil-nany Visit the Place.
Nine human skeletons. have
been found on the State farm, only
short distance from the City.
Discovery of the bones has created
a regular sensation on Wiles Hill,
and many residents of that section
have visited the spot.
About a week ago Jess VANS
ley and Carl Coalbank. residents
of Wiles hill were on a hunting ex-
petition. In travelling across the
experiment farm they were horri-
fed to stumble over a lot of human
bones. An investigation revealed
the bones Of eight or nine skele-
tons scattered abouton the ground.
The location Of the place is in a
small clearing a short distance
from the big barn. 1t is surround
Ell by dense underbrush, and is in
an out of the way place. The two
men would never have made the
gruesome find ifthey had not been
hunting aud searching every thick
ct for a rabbit.
Shortly after the men made the
discovery, Joseph Martin, another
resident of Wiles Hill, and Will
lam Hennessey, viewed the spot.
Since that time there has been a
regular exodus of young men and
boys TO the place and the skeletons
have been view with more than
usual interest.
A boy who lives on Wiles hill
stated to the Chronicle that he
visited the spot. and not only saw
skulls, shinbones, thighbones, and
the like but also a coffin with its
lid lying across it. The casket
was empty.
Some Of the bones are partly
covered with earth, while others
are lying on the ground and ap-
parently no effort whatever was
made to inter them. The Sigh
is CHASTITY one, and the bones of
what were once human beings, full
of vigor and energy, are not the
most pleasant things in the world
to look upon,
When first found it was thought
that there had been a wholesale
murder and that the perpetrators
of the dastardly deed had dragged
their victims to this out of the
way spot and left them there for
the glistening sun and the howl
ing winds to bleach their bones.
Later developments have punctur-
ed this theory.
1t is now said that the bones
were once the framework of various
Cadavers upon which the medical
students of the university have
been wont to try their unskillful
hand. 1t is rumored that after
the bones had outlived their use
fulness they were carted out to
the farm and piled in heap. No
doubt the authorities of the school
are not to blame, but it is likely
that the men who were instructed
to inter the bones are responsible.
The matter has not been reported
to the authorities or either the
county or the college.
The finding of the bones is re-
sponsible for rumor, especially
among the colored brethren, that
ghost, or several of them, i'll fact,
go bounding over the experiment
farm, Colored people who are
compelled to travel the road not
far from the spot have taken to car
rying "the left hind foot of rab-
bit, killed in a graveyard, on a
moonlight night, by a cross-eyed
darkey" and other charms. Nor

AUTHORIZATION Democrats ,
Independents ;
Total membership roI
Majority 81
The two anti-organization, or
Wells Democrats of Anne Arundel
county have the key to the
situation as far as the Democrats
are concerned. If they join the
ranks oftheregulars the latter will
have a majority.
If, on the other hand, the two
Anne Arundel Democrats join the
Republicans the latter will have
40 members, or two short of ma
jority. The three Queen Annes
county Independents pledged
themselves in the campaign to Join
the Republicans in organizing the
House. If these promises are ad-
hered to and the two Wells Demo-
Gratis throw their support to the
Republicans the latter will have 81
votes, or one more than a majority.
According to adviCes received
in this city the Queen Annes dele
gates stood ready to make good
their promises. The control of
the whole situation, therefore,
rests in the hands of the two Wells
Democrats of Anne Arundel. lust
what these two men will do re-
mains to be seen. If they follow
the ADVICE Of Dr.. Wells, and if
that advice is founded on the treat
ment which he has received in the
recent past at the hands of the
state organization, they will CO.
operate with the Republicans. 1t
would not be the first time DR..
Wells has followed this policy.
-Four years ago the four Anne
Arundel members, who were
friends of DR.. Wells joined hands
with the Republicans, and under
the leadership of Mr.. Isaac Lobe
Straus, Of this city, they were in
charge of the House. The COM
bination was not effected, however,
until after the regular Democrats
had elected Mr.. Noble L. Mitchell
speaker.
DR.. Wells last experience with
the Democratic state organization
occurred in the state convention in
September, when his delegation
was unseated and the seats were
awarded to the Bannon- Moss Nut
well combination. The conven-
ton refused to accept the creden-
tials of the Wells delegates on the
ground that their primaries and
county convention were illegally
held. The Circuit Court and later
the Court of Appeals took an op-
posite view.
The regular Democrats are pro-
ceeding on the theory that they
will be in position to organize
the House. They realize that
Governor Warheld might be a
stumbling block to their plans, if
so disposed, but they know the
Governor well enough to under
stand that he will do nothing and
say nothing to aid the Republicans
in electing the speaker, for, be it
understood, that if Queen Anne
independents and the two Anne
Arundel Wells Democrats cooper
ate with the Republicans in or
ganizing the House, a Republican
and not an independent Democrat
will be elected speaker,
The Democrats will probably
select DR.. Richard S. Hill, of
Prince George, as their candidate
for speaker of the House. Their
choice for president of the Senate
will probably be Mr.. John B.
Moore, of Worcester county, who
will be the oldest member of the
body in point of service. He has
already served six years.
The friends of Gen, Joseph B.
Seth, ofTalbot, have already start

PECULIAR ROBBERY REPORTED
Hotel Guest Called to the Door Of
His Room and Held Up for
VaIuableH.

A unique robbery was committed late
last Saturday night in an Omaha hotel
Between the hours OF - and l o'clock, as
nearly as the parties concerned could TELL
a man knocked on the door of a room
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Fireside OF
Cincinnati, o. Mr.. Fireslde asked the
person what was wanted and he replied
that he had a telegram for him. As soon
as the door was opened the robber thrust
revolver into his face and ordered him
to put up his hands. The man then en-
tered the room and warned the occu-
pants both to keep quiet. He rummaged
through their grips and the drawers OF the
commodes and took several trinkets Of
small value and with them 50 in change
which Mr.. Fireside happened to have in
his pockets. After he had finished his
search he took their key and. after order
ing them not 10 try to get out or make
a noise he went out and locked them in.
After waiting a long time, until nearly
o'clock Mr.. Fireside pushed the button
and called the hotel service to his aid.
Nothing was seen of the man, who might
have been in and out easily, as there was
nothing about him TO attract attention.
He was well dressed and probably went in
as one Of the guests. Mr.. Fireside IS a
travelling salesman and one of the regu-
lar customers OF the hotel.
