Democrats and Republicans, have
consented to take the place OF Mr.
ID. II. Barger on the Democratic

been arranged for during the next
thirty days 1t Will be simply impos-
sible for me to visit you as shoul |

THAT RESTLESS HURRICANE.
It's Having Lively Time Some
where Out to Sea.

The curves of Walter Johnson, phe-
nomenal pitcher of the National base ball
team are said to be tame in comparison
with the plain and fancy curves of the
West Indian tropical hurricane that has
been whooping it up over the southern
seas for the past five days, meanwhile
keeping the weather forecasters guessing
and requesting.
This disturbance first made its appear
ance September 10 near Porto Rico. At
that time it was described in meteoro-
logical parlance as mot strong" Later,
however, as it proceeded toward the Ba-
hama Islands 1t gathered strength and
soon assumed the proportions Of real
hurricane. II cavorted over to Turks Is
land. where it blew big guns and Incl
dentally knocked things en- he island into
a cooked hat Then the storm began its
curving and recurring back and forth
about the Bahamas, defying meteorolo
gists and setting at naught their fore
casts.
Prof. Garriott, official torecaster of the
weather bureau said today that he had
got a line on the tropical hurricane. 1t
had recurved again in northerly direc-
ton, and was leaving the Bahamas and
proceeding toward he Bermudas. He
added that 1t will pass off to sea after
its five days of furious frolic, and the
vessel owners along the south seacoast
can breathe freely now. and the hurri-
cane and storm warnings will be lowered
Whether the storm will hit some ILL
fated craft on the Atlantic and do more
damage is problematical. but should any
ship or steam craft get in It's path there
will be something doing. One thing is
certain. according to the weather off,
cials-the hurricane will not visit Uncle
Sans domains.
You can't always tell where that kind
OF hurricane is going" Forecaster Gar
gone on a sea voyage. Washington will
have several days of fine weather and
sunshine"
