ROCKVILLE, Md. June %. 1905
The executive committee of the Mont
gomery County Anti-Saloon League held
meeting here this afternoon to consider
plans for the summer. The attendance
was large and much interest was mani
tested in the various matters that came
up for consideration. Mr.. Frank Higgins,
the leagues attorney, reported that he had
received reliable Information that the local
option law of the county is being boldly
violated in different sections of the county.
A lengthy discussion followed THIS an
nouncement, and it was finally decided to
lend the states attorney every assistance
In gathering evidence against the offenders.
The leagues attitude in regard to candi-
dates for democratic nominations in the
county was also given consideration. Aside
from agreeing upon two candidates for
the house of delegates to be supported by
the league. no definite selections were
made. The probable position on the liquor
question of the two candidates for the
state senate was discussed, but 1t was de-
cided to wait while in the hope that de-
veiopments might give more definite infor-
nation in regard to their true position on
this question. 1t Is understood that the
leagues list will be completed at the quar-
terly meeting to be held at Travilah on
July -.

dice-a road was only a road, to be driven
on! But in spite of all reasoning he CON
tinued to experience a distinct disinclina-
ton for the popular thoroughfare
He felt 1t today, stronger than ever What
then? A sense of impatience stirred him as
he turned into the square and approached
his home; his welI-ordered mind reyolted
against vacillation and uncertainty Nor
was the appearance of his house calculated
to allay that feeling. On every hand lights
shone from the parlors of other dwellings;
one mansion alone dark, forbidding
With shutters closed in many windows, 1t
appeared almost tenantlesS.
Once Richard Strong had sat In the little
park before it and wondered how 1t would
look when she would be mistress there;
when her presence would lend life and light
to the great place. The old memory in
truded itself. Their the flowers had bloomed
and the birds had sung around him. and the
barren stone walls had seemed an Aladdin
palace Of beauty in the perspective. But
flowers and birds had gone and the solid
outlines were shorn of all pretense of archt-
tectural pre-eminence
I'll sell the place." he thought, as he ush-
cred himself into the hall.
Refectively he looked before him. when a
peculiar rustling sound caused him to turn
who is IT." he said.
Only the silence answered.
II am imaginative today" he thought,
when the sound was repeated-in the H.
brary.
WHO is thereT he asked again and
quickly stepped forward, but stopped.
Yes. there was some one!-a girl!-a girl
in black! For the moment he could not
believe his senses, but stared at her In
credulously. She seemed as unreal az q
vision. and yet her eyes were bright with
life: her breast rose and fell quickly.
'.Elinorr'
Was 1t his sudden exclamation ?-the 10y
in his voice? She stretched out her hands.
oh she said. II had to come. could
not stand It any longer"
His heart leaped and the world went
round. as swiftly he reached out: grasped
her hands.

Senor Monitor, the minister to Lon
don; Robert Mason, the British consul
at Santiago, and the managers of the
steamhsip lines.
For thirty years." says Father
Drum, "the Cubans had been thank
fully receiving Jesuit forecasts before
our weather bureau observer intro.
duced the radical change which has
brought into clearer view the debt
that Cuba and the whole world owe to
Fathers Vines and Gangoiti, the pio
neer forecasters of hurricanes"
The Father Vines referred to was
the master mind of Belen. He began
the study of hurricanes in 1870 and for
% years worked constantly and almost
alone on his problem. He took obser-
vations from a. m. until 10 p. m. and
sometimes remained up all night.
He was striving to learn four things:
l. A sign or group of signs that would
invariably prove the existence of a
cyclone while 1t was yet at a great dis
tance from the observer. 2. Bearings
that would determine what part of the
horizon it was coming from. 3. The
location OF the curve Of the cyclone.
4. The determination of the distance
o. the cyclone from the observer and
it's intensity, area and velocity.
Father Drum credits him with dis.
covering the association between hur-
ricanes and the clouds that are called
cirro-stratus plumiform.
mo one before Father Vines even
suspected that these clouds were feet
messengers sent high in air and from
the very heart Of the cyclone to give
timely notice of it's oncoming violence.
In the years and centuries to come 1t
will ever be the glory Of this pioneer
that he was the first meteorologist to
forecast the cyclone by observation OF
upper as we'll as lower clouds, and the
first to explain with scholarly and sci
ertific accuracy the hitherto myster,'
Gus graduation of the various currents
that go to make the scourge of the
tropics"
Father Vines invented the cyclone
scope and cyclononephoscope which
won prizes at the Chicago worlds
fair. The steamship companies trans
ported him free, the railroads had spe'
cial trains ready for him in the pursuit
of his studies, and he had the free
use of all the telegraph wires in Cuba,
He wrote dozen treaties on meteor
ology.
When he forecast violent hurri.
cane in 1876 only one ship dared to
leave the port of Havana, and even Its
passengers refused to sail. 1t was
wrecked in the very path he had
pointed out.
He died in 1899 without having
profited peso form his work, which
he left Father Gangoiti to carry on.
