CHANGE IN THE WEATHER.

The temperature this morning was In
marked contrast TO that OF yesttrdsy
when conditions we're sul'rF and I'M
comfortable. There were heavy rains
during the day. and ct intervals the sun
would break through the clouds when
his rays for a time we're as depressing as
those in the summtr months. Early In
the night the wind, which had been
blowing from the southeast, vetred to
The northwest and tempest followed.
The rain fell 10 torrents and In few
minutes time the streets were flooded
and the sewers taxed to their fullest
capacity. sharp Lightning and heavy
crashes of thunder accompanied the
storm. and 10 some sections Of the city
there was apprehension, as . report had
been circulated to the effect that q
bulletin from the Weather Bureau au-
nounced the approach OF West India
hurricane which was scheduled to reach
Alexandria about midnight. This
coupled With the fact that the anniver-
sary of the tornado Of 1896 was but "a
hours off added to the apprehension.
There was, however, no further meteoro-
logical commissions during tbe night. The
temperature continued to fall aud before
daybIesk conditions were chilly. The
mercury in the thermometer at z O'Clock
this morning stood at 52', and the
weather has been bright and braciDg to-
day. The Bryan, Kern aud Osrlin
banner in front of the headquarters of
the democratic club on King street was
damaged by the high wind and rain.

Don't Wed on Less than $4,000.

= he average girl who marries
young man whose income is less than
$1,000 a year discovers her mistake
long before the year has pas scd, and
the tagging income has fully mani
tested itself.
One hundred dollars month and a
sum in the bank, or its equivalent in
a life insurance policy, is merely a
fair start. If the young man has not
this assured income and if he has not
the emergency fund in the bank, or If
he be too improvident to arrange by
a life insurance for her well being in
the event of his death, the girl should
refuse to mary him, and wait for the
true prince of her matrimonial
dreams to ride up with bank book
or a life insurance policy.
