This was accomplished when Com
monweaIth Attorney Crandal Mackey,
after a year of effort to fdihH the
promise he made at the polls TO drive
every gambler out of Alexandria county,
attained a signal victory over John NJ
Hill and others, alleged to control the
poolroom which has for SO many years
been thorn in the side OF the authori-
ties across the Potomac.
Pledges Accepted.
Mr. Mackey has entered into an agree
ment with Car lin, Smith & Burke. coun-
sci for the Hill brothers and their as
sociates. by which John and Fora Hill
and their confederates pledge them
selves to move away from St. Asaph
and out of Alexandria county.
In consideration of this promise Mr.
Mackey will not personally prosecute
! the alleged conductors of the poeircom
for past infractions of the Virginia gam
bling laws unless they prove by their
actions they are unworthy of such con-
sideration.
Case Is Continued.
AS result of this agreement, in
stead of a motion being made by the
defense to postpone the case until the
next session of the court. which motion
Mr.. Mackey, it was confidently ex-
pected, would strenuously oppose, the
Commonwealth attorney himself moved
that the case be continued until not
later than the fourth day of the next
session of the court.
But few of the spectators in the court
room knew of the treaty between Mr.
Mackey and the counsel for the defense.

Judge NicoI reduced the fine, and also

Mackey's Explanation.
He explained his willingness to have
the sentence COMMITTED by saying that
his fight against St Asaph was a
prosecution and not persecution: that
his only object in wishing that the maxi

every day are now published by prac-
tically every civilized nation, and are
accessible to ALL and all that is needed
to cure the most implicit belief in alma
nae predictions for a single season with
the actual occurrences as shown by
these maps Conspicuous instances of
failure, such as those of the artificial
rain makers, who decade ago were
given the fullest opportunity to test and
exploit their theories, or the colorless
results of the extensive campaign OF
bombardment as protection against
hail, which has been conducted for sew
eral years in southern Europe, do not
convince the credulous. They do serve,
however, to illustrate the confusion OF
tongues" among the prophets of these
latter days, who lombard the skies to
precipitate storms and lombard the
clouds to dissipate them. Government
meteorologists are not alone in the de-
nunciation of the fallacies, absurdities
and pernicious efforts of so-called long
range forecasts. Prof. Young, probably
the foremost American astronomer,
speaking of lunar influences, points out
that the freqnecy of the moons changes
is so great that it is always easy to find
instances by which to verify belief
that changes of the moon control condi-
tions of the earth. A change of the
moon necessarily occurs about once a
week. All changes of the weather must
therefore, occur within three and three
fourths days of a change Of the moon,
and one-half of all changes ought to oc-
cur within as hours of change in the
moon, even if there were no casual con-
nection whatever Now, it requires only
a very slight predisposition in favor of
a belief in the effectiveness or the
moons changes to make one forget
few of the changes that occur too far
from the proper time. Coincidence
enough can easily be found to justify
preexistent belief.
PROFESSIONALLY there is a general de-
sire for an extension of the range of
forecasts to cover the near future, and,
if possible, the coming season. If some
explorer in meteorology and astronomy
should discover some fundamental law,
hitherto unknown, whereby he could ac-
curately calculate the time of arrival,
the force and pathway of storms for
weeks and months in advance, and could
warn the people of future floods or
draughts in defined localities, he would
at once take rank as the greatest scien-
fist of the world. And then if he would
reveal the secret of his discovery for
the benefit of future generations, he
would be honored as the greatest Of
philanthropists as well as the wsest OF
mankind. But, alas, up to date this man
has not arrived.
Some of the ablest scientists of this
country and Europe have devoted much
time and labor to the study Of this prob
lem. They have consulted weather rec
ords of all countries, taking note OF the
dates of heavy storms, and making COM
parison with the position with the po-
sition of the moon and planets, to de-
termine if there is any discoverable con-
nection between the movement of those
minor bodies and the sweep of storm ed
dies in the earth's atmosphere. The
consensus of opinion has been that there

St. Petersburg, Russia.-My Dear
Groceryowski: Well, sir, 'spose you
will be surprised to hear from me in
Russia, but there was no use talking
when Dad said he was going to ST.
Petersburg if it was the last act of his
life. He got talking with Japaneser
in Rome and the Jap said the war in
the far east would last until every
Russian was killed. unless America in
terfered to put stop to it, and as
Roosevelt didn't appear to have sand
enough to offer his services to the
car, what it needed was for some rep
resentative American citizen who was
brave and had nerve to go to st
Petersburg and see the czarovitch and
give him the benefit of a good Ameri-
can talk. The Jap said the American
who brought about peace, by a few
well chosen remarks, would be the
greatest man of the century, and
would live to be bowed down to by
kings and empercrs and all the worl
would doff hats to him.
At first dad was a little leary about
going on such mission without Gre
dentials from Washington, but as luck
would have it, he met an exiled Rus

an awful time, and went to a hotel,
suspected by the police, and marked
as undesirable guests by the Cossacks,
and winked at by the walking dele
gates and strikers, who thought we
were non-union men looking for their
jobs.
The next day the religious cere-
mony of blessing the Neva" took
place, where all the population gets
out on the bank of the river, with
overshoes on, and fur coats, and looks
down on the river, covered with ice
four feet thick, and the river is
blessed. In our country the people
would damn a river that had ice four
feet thick, but in Russia they bless
anything that will stand it. We got
a good place on the bank of the river,
with about a million people who had
Sheepskin coats on, and who steamed
like a sheep ranch, and were enjoy
ing the performance, looking Occa-
sionally at the Winter palace. where
the car was peeking out of a window,
wondering from which direction a
bomb would come to blow him up,
when battery of artillery across the
river started to fire a salute, and then
the devil was to pay. 1t seems that
the gentlemen who handled the guns,
and who were supposed to fire blank
cartridges into the air, put in loaded
cartridges, filled with grape shot, and
took aim at the Winter palace, and
cut loose at Mr.. Gar.
Well, you would have been par
alyzed to see the change that came
over that crowd, blessing the river
one minute and damning the car and
the grand dukes the next. The shot
went into the Winter palace and tore
the furniture and ripped up the cell
ing of the room the car was IN, and
in a moment all was chaos, as though
every Russian knew the car was to
be assassinated at that particular no
ment, and all rushed toward the
Winter palace as though they expect
ed pieces of the Little Father would
be thrown out the window for them
to play football with. For a people
who are supposed to be lawful and
it seemed strange to see them all so
tickled when they thought he was
blown higher than a kite by his own
soldiers.
Dad and l started with the crowd
for the Winter palace, and then we
had a taste of monarchial govern
ment. The crowd was rushing over
us and dad got mad and pulled off
his coat and said he could whip any
COMPOUNDED foreigner that rubbed
against him with sheepskin coat on,
and he was just on the point of
shifting a fellow with whiskers that
looked like scrambled bristles OFF
black hog when a regiment of Co.'S
sacks came down on the crowd riding
horses like a wild west show, and with
whips in their hands, with a dozen
lashes to each whip, and they began
to lash the crowd and ride over them,
while the people covered their faces
with their arms, and run away, afraid
of the whips, which cut and wound
and kill, as each lash has little lead
bullets fastened to them and a stroke
of the whip is like being shot with
