Sea captains who have actually
been sailing over the so-called "gulf
stream" have been giving out state
ments of the erratic movements of this
vast ocean river, which have drawn
forth strenuous denails from weather
observers and scientists. According to
the sailormen, the gulf stream has de-
cided to flow much nearer the Ameri-
can North Atlantic coast. Therefore,
this is asserted to be the real reason
for the muggy, humid, yet not summer,
season which has just ended. The sci.
entists, however, deny that the weather

1895 as Sir Henry Irving, made his
stage debut as the villain of a melo-
drama in the English provinces. Ira
dition has 1t that in one act he ap-
peared with a piece of raw beef con-
cealed under his coat collar, that the
faithful dog of the heroine might
nightly leap at his throat in the in
terest of virtue endangered and the
dramatic unities. That was stage
management, an art in which Irving
for years led his contemporaries in
the two great English-speaking lands.

the crowd which gathered at this point
was so tremendous that neither the
police nor the troops were able to
move it and the president, foreseeing
possible catastrophe in the event of

speak and left the platform. The crowd
jammed st. Charles street from prop
