GOOD-BY TO OLD SUMNER
Fall Weather Comes to Town and
Comes to Stay.
Look for Frost This Morning-If II
Isn't on the window Pane
Ia Ought to BE.

With the thermometer registering IS
degrees aJ midnight last night. there was
every prospect that frost would greet
the early Tisers this morning.
From the Weather Bureau came the
Intelligence that the big instrument up
,here registered but a few points higher.
and the prophet OF that institution was
non-committal as 10 the immediate
chances for cold weather, but said that
within the next few days the ballroom
boarder would ind the water right
cold" in his pitcher.
In the city the thermometer IS more
than : degrees lower than is seasonable
at this time OF the year, and as it has
only TO drop about ~ degrees 10 incite
the little frostlings to appear. it is not
unlikely that Mr.. Jack viii make his
appearance this morning.
The heavy rain storm which ended
Monday and was followed by the real
autumn weather yesterday was the first
equinOctial storm Of the fan Of 1907, ac-
cording TO Edward B. CARROT. official
forecaster of the Weather Bureau
Telegraphic reports tell OF the appear
ance Of heavy frost early yesterday morn
lilb III AUA ~ isttl4@Ail anu 4ti4lltlS, anu
it is predicted that the frost lire will
extend greatly tonight, so that the Ohio
Valley and this section Of the country
will likely be included in its radius.
Despite the reports from Cuba and the
tropics that the weather is insufferably
hot those faithful persons who have
chung to their Panamas looked somewhat
out OF place yesterday. and unless their
aPpendages are done up in brown paper
and put into the cedar chest there is
danger that Jack Frost will get them
II was cold in Washington last night
The balmy summer time is gone, there is
no chance for the peek-a-boo waist: there
is no longer hope for the open-work sock
Indeed, unless the early riser this morn
ing sees thin films of ice on the grass
and the shrubbery the weather man is
a false prophet. 1t Will be the first frost
of the season.
