The oldest weather man in the United
States lives in Washington, where weather
conditions are designed to promote guess
ing. His name is Dennis Horigan and has
been attached to the naval observatory for
fifty-two years. Long before the weather
bureau was established Mr.. Horigan was
making observations at the observatory
night and day every three hours, noting
the temperature, the barometric pressure,
the nature of the clouds and the direction
Of the wind. Appointed under the admin
istration of President Buchanan in 1857, he
has been in the service ever since. He is
now an old man, yet in fair health, con-
sidering his long service and the fact that
It included night work. He came from
the old country in the SOS and settled In
Georgetown, then the most important part
of the District of Columbia. He was at
the old observatory in 1851, when Captain
NJ. +. Maury left to join the south in the
civil war. He has served with many naval
officers and scientists, among them Com

The trig, actor-like figure Of ex-senator
John G. Spooner of Wisconsin, whose con-
gressional days distinguished him as one OF
the greatest legal lights under the capitol
dome, is much seen in Washington. But
he never goes near the chamber Of his legis-
lative triumphs, reports the Washington
Herald. He takes many a constitutional
down the familiar thoroughfares, He joins
his old senatorial cronies at dozen wonted
meeting places up town. Occasionally, on
errands growing out OF the receipt Of fat
retainers, he presents himself in the su-
preme court room. Its door is not thirty
PAGES from the senate door, which, how
ever, ne seems to shun as though 1t were
the portal to inferno.
"Oh, they would all be saying could not
keep away" he explained when one asked
him why he never visited the senate.
There Is still another reason. At one time
Mr.. spooner was chairman of the SEN
ate committee on claims. In that capacity
he was often approached by ex-senators,
who have the privileges OF the floor, but
who are supposed not to use such privileges
for lobbying purposes. They would sit a
while in the red sofa section at the rear.
Then Senator Spooner would feel tap on
his shoulder and be invited to come back
and talk. The conversation generally was
brought around to a little bill. which Mr..
Elk always had conveniently in his inside
pocket, with a request that the chairman
see It safely through his committee.
Mr. Spooner is sensitive little man. He
has retentive memory about the general
attitude toward ex-senators, which crowds
out any realization of the glad hand he
would always be sure of on the floor from
his old-time senate colleagues.

that the city and county are working
under Il contract which had been ac-

that the city was to pay proportion

in writing, at the demand of Carbon,
a request for the amount named.

that the council would decide to do
other than pay. as he
stated that the county could give
