TRUSTING TO FATE.
An Incident That Gives m Insixl
Into Russian Character


A few years ago 1 was taking a
country walk in Kovno. The road lay
through dense forest, and the day
was oppressively hot. arrived at last
at crossroad and sat down under the
shade of the trees to rest. A signpost
pointed its two arms down the con-
yerging roads. On one of them was in
scribed IA versts to Janova," on the
other III versts to Shadowa." Present
~ the creaking of wheels and the slow
''clop, clop" of a horses hoofs on the
road behind reused me. A cart piled
high with tinware was coming down
the road, with the driver perched on
the top OF the load.
Good day, brother" 1 called out as
the cart, with its sorry horse, came
abreast of me. The man returned my
salute, and the horse. glad of any ex-
cuse to rest his weary legs, came to n
standstill in the middle OF the road.
(which way are you going?" asked.
ITO Janova. There is a market there
tomorrow"
but there is also n market in Sha-
dowa," l answered, "and it is n more
important place than Janova."
80 1t is, so it is," the driver replied.
with perfect Indifference.
What have you for sale?"
Plenty Of good tinware, as you can
see, brother. I have worked for six
weeks to make this CARLOAD"
We'll, good luck to you and your
tnware," I said, pulling and eating the
berries within reach. "Win you take IL
to Janova or Shadowar
The man picked up the bit Of cord
which served as reins and prepared to
go on.
Il shall leave that to my horse" he
answered callously.
The numbering wagon moved or and
finally passed out of sight down the
Janova road, which the horse had elect
ed to take.-St. James Gazette.

Church provra..

From figures compiled ut the begin
ming OF the new year it appears that
there are In the United States some
thing over 30.O00OOO members of
Christian churches and that in the
year just closed the churches have add
ed nearly 100000 to their numbers.
This increase is somewhat larger than
that or the preceding year, and nearly
all religious bodies benefit by 1t. The
number OF churches has increased in
the last year by 2.31O, and there are
1.674 more ministers than in the previ-
Gus year. 1t Is worthy OF notice that
the increase in the ministry does not

DISCOMFORT AT POLICE COURT.
Rain Adds to- Volume of Water in Gel
lar-Old-Time Sewer

The sewer at the temporary Police Court
building is understood to be still causing
trouble. A man from the local sewer de-
partment who went TO the building for the
purpose of locating and remedying the
trouble is said to have discovered that the

of tile pipe In the old shioned way. The
roots of trees were found to have grown
into the pipe and completely filled it up,
so that practically no water could lass
through II. This was declared to be the
cause Of the water in the cellar.
The workman dug two holes in the gound
deep the pipes In making his inspec-
ton. As fast the holes were opened up
the water filed them TO good depth. In
that water was all the drainage from the

On top of that water is thick scum of

Deputy Marshal Lacey. 1t is stated. We're
compelled to leave their offices yesterday

Another cause of complaint at the build
Ing was the accumulation of dirt and filth
In the yard around the court building. The
rain this forenoon did not help matters. AS
soon as II began the water began TO flow
into the cellar. II has done before. An
other result of the rain this morning was
the flooding OF the halls of the building

the stampede, and left my duties here and
FASTENED to Atlantic City. I found the
residents there greatly excited and assured
them that there was no danger to be feared
from a hurricane or other meteorological
cause. The bulletins of the weather bureau
were displayed prominently. announcing
good weather conditions instead Of the pre-
dicted big blow. but still some Of the people
persisted in their preparations for a hasty
departure from the doomed place, as they
believed
Particularly panicky were the colored en-
ployes of the Atlantic City resorts. They
evidently believed implicitly in the preacher
and his direful forecast and continued to
fly from the place in apparent terror. I re-
manned there until after the time promised
for the hurricane, which did not material
ize."
Prof. Moore said that other similar cases
could be related In which people were both
frightened and inconvenienced by such pre-
dictions OF long-range weather forecasters.
Prof. Moore also called attention to the
publication OF Prof. Dexter, noted scien-
fist, in connection with the recent severe
spell of high humidity and temperature that
was experienced in Washington and vicinity.
Dexter holds that damp, hot weather results
in an epidemic of crime and suicides. He
gives a number of illustrations in which 1t
Is shown that crime waves and suicide cpl
denies have been coincident with hot
waves.
The weather chief suggests that this mat
ter would make good study for some Of
the amateur criminologists of Washington
in connection with recent police and police
court statistics.

MISSED MARK BADLY
LONG RANGE FORECASTER'S
TROUBLE.

According to a recent prediction by one
Dalrymple. a so-called long-range weather
prophet, the hottest spell OF weather ever
experienced in the middle and southern
states was to have begun this morning. Dali
rymple claimed that the period Of torr1dity
would continue until September a. when 1t
would wind up It's performance with dis
play of lightning accompanying series OF
severe tropical storms.
When this dire prediction was brought to
the attention of Prof. Willis L. Moore. chief
of the weather bureau. by Star reporter
today, he smiled and said there are many
alleged forecasters in this country.
They would be amusing said the wealth
er chief, were 1t not for the fact that their
alleged predictions frequently result In
much damage. It is surprising how many
intelligent people become frightened at the
predictions of some ignorant charlatan, pre-
pare for floods, and sometimes even move
away from their homes to avoid threat
ened calamities.
II recall that few years ago an litter
ate negro preacher who was here In WASH
ington for time set himself up as an In.
spired weather prophet. One of his first
predictions was that a terrific hurricane
would strike Atlantic City and cause great
loss Of life and property. Many OF the
people there became panic-stricken and be-
gan to move away from the place In great
haste Some OF the leading hotel proprie-
tors appealed TO me to assist IN stopping

PEACE UNION SUGGESTIONS
forwarded to the ENJOYS at Ports
mouth Wednesday,

The text of the document sent Monday nv.
the Universal Peace Union in session at
Mystic Conn. to the Russian and Jana nese
plenipotentiaries, was made public yester-
day, as follows:
We are convinced, as regards Russia and
Japan, that the sending OF eminent and
conscientious ENJOYS thousands of miles
from monarchical surroundings to our re-
public at great expense to formulate some
plan to close the appalling war In the far
east must not fail, inasmuch as nothing is
TO be gained by continuance of the war.
and as both belligerents desire peace.
II indemnity be in the way, call 1t recon-
pense for caring for 100000 prisoners and
adjust the amount. Peace will soon reirn-
burse: war never will.
If Saghalin be In the way, give II as a
peace Offering to the Inhabitants thereof
and ask representation therein, and the
trade there will be worth more than any
conflict.
If limitation Of naval power be In the
way, refer to the cars rescript and his
recommendations, and then mutually agree
upon limitations.
If informed vessels be in the way, agree
to RELEASE them IL they will be turned into
merchantmen and so paroled that they
never will be used for war purposes.
If this will not accomplish the desired re-
suit, submit the points at variance to The
Hague tribunal, the creation itself of Rus
STA. and therein will be her victory Of peace
with honor and dignity.
