Springing surprise on the entire
public, the State Board Of Charities
last night elected darkhorse for sec
rotary OF the board, in the person OF
the Rev. Joseph T. Mastin, who is at
present the superintendent of the Vir-
GINA Methodist Conference Orphanage.
There were many other applicants for
the position of secretary, but the action
OF tho board is understood to have
been unanimous.
James NJ. N. Allen was made assist
ant secretary. He is member of the
City Democratic Committee from JEFF
terson Ward and former member OF
the Common Council.
The election of Mr.. Mastin will no
doubt be the source of some surprise,
for 1t was understood up to the hour
OF the meeting that the leading candi-
dates were Rev. j. Sidney Peters and
former Sheriff simop Solomon, of Hen
rico. It has been known for some
weeks that Mr.. Solomon could not win.
The odds We're against him, but no one
outside the board had thought of Mr..
Mastin. Mr. Peters was the man who
had been doomed, and he could have
had the office for the asking. He did
not want 1t, and 1t is understood that
he and his friends in and out of the
board got behind Mr.. Mastin and
pushed him through.

Study August Weather for Past
Ten Years and Pick Grain
Of Comfort.

Average Richmond weather for the
month OF August during the last ten
years has just been compiled by Direc-
tor Evans. OF the weather bureau.
While this Is what has happened and
what may be reasonably expected for
the month just coming in, It is in no
sense a forecast.
These are some OF the most inter-
esting facts in the resort. which was
given out yesterday, covering the last
decade:
The mean or normal temperature
was 70 degrees: the warmest month
thai OF 1900. when the Thermometer
went on an average to SO degrees. The
highest temperature for single day
was 1O2 degrees, on August II. 1900.
The coolest month was that of 1902.
with an average temperature OF IS
degrees The coolest single day was
August 80. 1904. when the thermometer
went as low as Sc degrees
In the ten years the earliest date
upon which the first killing frost fell
was October 18th, while the average
date upon which this event occurred
was November Sd. The latest date
upon which such frost occurred in
the spring was April I'd. with the
average falling on April 10th.
The average precipitation was 4.46
inches. The greatest amount OF pre-
cipitation. 1858 inches occurred in 1906.
and the least, $40 inches, in 1902. The
greatest amount OF rainfall in any
twenty four hours was 2.95 inches. on
August 10 and II. 1898. The highest
wind of the period blew at the rate OF
forty two miles per hour. on August

Perfectly composed and with dis
dainful air, Harry Driscoll was led
from the county jail yesterday morn

tencc for baggage-stealing. Several
persons, curious to see the notorious

eyes and fair complexion. The most
interesting discovery concerning the
prisoners body was the figure of a
woman tattooed on his left arm. Just
beneath the figure were two clasped
hands.
Throughout the whole affair Dris-
coll had very little to say. He
thanked the deputy sheriff for his
treatment of him, and said good-by
to aenumber of the prisoners who had

With these ceremonies he climbed
into the open wagon and took a seat
beside the striped driver. The asso-
