PASSING OF THE BLIZZARD.
Prophecy of the Weather Bureau
Fully Verified,

AS predicted by Forecaster Garriott of
the weather bureau yesterday, the junior
blizzard pa ssed away last night and went
swirling over the Atlantic, leaving fair
weather in its wake. Today the predic-
ton was made that Washington will be
visited this evening by more rain or snow
and colder weather. These conditions will
be but short-lived and tomorrow will be
fair and cold. Real winter is here and
people are cautioned to be careful, else
they will find themselves in the grip OF
the grip which is so prevalent in this city
The storm that is due this evening was
over Lake Erie this morning and moving
rapidly in this direction.

NORFOLK. Va, January S.-A broken

lima coast reports the stranding and loss
on the treacherous Diamond shoals yes

captain of the vessel was among those
who are lost The two men who escaped
are reported to be foreigners who heard
those aboard say that the vessel was for
ty-two years old.
The schooner according to the dispatch.
went to pieces within thirty minutes after
she struck on the shoals during the fierce
gale which swept the coast, registering q
wind velocity off Hatteras of seventy-five
miles an hour and declared to have been
the worst storm in eastern Carolina since
1879.
The wires to Cape Hatteras are not
working at all. and for this reason fuller
informal ton concerning the wreck is UNI
obtainable. The information obtained
had to be passed for some distance up the
coast by. the patrolmen of the life saving
crews, and then telegra phed into Nor
folk.
The storm has today completely passed
from this coast and the weather is clear.

Gated quite plainly that he was deeply

He prefaced his address with praise for
the organization, and said that he was
somewhat at a loss to say whether he
was more attached to the Grand Army of

But location .ntherr than luck causes

to knnRas City. One may rench Chi

tage of the city for great conventions
is that of hotel facilities. So big is
Chicago that the mnny thousands OF
extra visitors who intend the national
conventions create scarcely ripple OF
excitement 80 far as numbers are con-
cerned. They can be accommodn ted
with ease. and even swallowed up Ia
the vast throngs without being pnrtlc.

81 Chicago and New York are the only
cities In America where this condition
prevails. New York being too far to
one side of the country. Chicago thus
becomes the inevitable convention city.
Chicago makes no particular effort to
obtain great conventions, knowing TINT
they belong to her as a natural right
and will come anyhow. 4
