HEARST, NOT GAYNOR.
Meeting for the Judge, but
Editor Got the applause.

A Gaynor meeting was held at Carnegie
Hall last night, at which John Purroy
Mitchell and ". r. Hearst were vociferous-
" cheered by the few persons who had
Ventured to the meeting. and at which Mr..
GsynoT did not appear. One member Of
The audience suggested afterward that the
Judge had been tipped off, and Cid not
dare TO come
The night before more than three thou
sand persons in the same han had cheer
fully waited two hours and 9 half for
Hearst, and cheered him again and again
on his arrival Not more than Il third OF
that number were gathered at 500 last
right when the Gaynor meeting wss called

were drifting away. TWO policemen who
occupied tie top gallery in solitary defence
OF an undehed law held their places until
the chairman signalled the grand exodus
In the first gallery there were two more
policemen, eight men and a boy. The pO-
hcemen and the boy stuck to the end but
four Of the men gave in at page Of Cal
Vin Tomkins's speech and sought gayety
and life nearer 10 the electric glare
John Dewitt Warner, who appeared as
the first apOlogist for Tammany Hall, was
also the first to galvanize the slender audi
by an sdIniring reference TO John Purroy
Mitchell. EX-Judge D. Cady Herrick. the
second speaker and Tammany's second
apologist, was even more successful than
Ny Warner, for he woke his hearers up TO
real life by mentioning Hearst. At once
there was outburst OF applause And
later. when he asked, Whom do YOU want
for Mayor" there was an unanimous reply

MRS. sELMoNT's DEMAND.

Apropos OF BOurke Cockran's statement
in yesterdays papers 10 the effect that the
present campaign Is one OF personal de-
pravity and indecepcy, Mrs. O. Fl p. Bel
mont, president OF the Political Equally
Association, wants to know why men who
have power TO change these things are uor
doing it. In a statement given out 40 her
Office. No. SO Fifth avenue, YESTERDAY, she
says:

children ignorant OF wrongs hesped upon
them, waiting, expecting help. Where are

on the opposition TO the Democratic
city ticket Mr.. Gaynor became voluble.
There were whisperings and suggestions
all over the city. he said. that were

tinued:

AND THE PAINS HE TOOK.
Why, when 1t was finally concluded that

Never was under the thumb OF any man
about political matters, nor would be on
the ticket with two men that were under
the thumb OF anybody on earth, nor any
political organization, close or open, on
earth. SO these men were sought for with
great difficulty and induced 10 run for Con-

The Tammany candidate said he had

Washington, oct. 2s.-Professor Asaph
Hall, who is in charge Of the large teIe-
scope at the United States Naval Observa-
tory, said to-day that no great changes
have been noted In the appearance of Mars.
Recent observations Of the planet by Pro-

are produced by the melting Of the ice at
the poles as the planet swings around
toward the sun
The British Astronomical Association has

the recent Appearance Of the Zig sun spot
caused electrical disturbances on the nIanet

-Four Men With Him

Under Colonel Welsh in the Omaha office are four other men, e-
perts in their respective lines, who assist in making and recording the
observations and distributing the results to the public. They are
M. v. Robins, observer and first assistant; Arthur Thorsen, assistant
observer; C. A. Akin. printer. and Lyle E. High, messenger.
from Huron, s. D., where he entered the service a s messenger. He
Akin is from Missouri and has been in the service about a year. Mr..
Thorson is from Northwood, Ia, and has been here since June. Mr..
High is an Omaha boy and has been with the bureau a little more
than q year.
Omaha a s a point for weather observations is one of the oldest
on the map. The service was organized in 1870 and the records in
the Omaha ONCE show observations were made here in November of
that year. At first a part of the military service the early years Of
the life Of the new department were of slow progress because of the
hampertng effect Of the sWn military organization. The weather OBJ
servers were organized into a little army themselves attached to the
signal corps and under charge of a military officer. The policy Of
the department, as has been stated before, was to jump men from one
place to another with military precision, and hence there val little
permanency of residence and good men were slow to enter. Now, by
the way the policy o. the department has changed entirely and an
atache Of the weather department is practically sure of a perma-
nent berth as long as his services are satisfactory. Under this
broader policy hundreds of men belonging to the service become home
owners and permanent members Of society in the community in which
they are stationed.
The military incubus was thrown of by the department in 1891
under a law passed and approved the year previous. Since then the
work has been on a more scientific basis. Mark w. Harrington was
the first chief under the new order of things and he remained at the
head until 1896, when he was removed by President Cleveland at the
request Of ]. Sterling Morton, then secretary of agriculture. Prof.
Willis S. Moore, at that time a local forecaster in Chicago and an ex-
pert Of wide experience, was placed at the head.
Prof Moore has raised the standards of the department since his
elevation TO the chiefship.

Wireless a New Adjunct

The wireless has lately come to be an important adjunct of the
weather bureau, especially to those stations lying on the Atlantic and
gulf coasts. Boats far out in the ocean can sometimes give warnings
to the coast stations, which are then DISSEMINATED to other vessels.
More often, however, the situation is reversed and the coast stations
by means Of the wireless notify vessels of the approach Of storms.
There is a lot Of complicated instrument reading and nice cacu-
lattng to be done before the local weather forecaster is ready to an
nounce the probabilities for the next day, In the first place, in addi-
ton to the statistics of the local conditions, each Office receives re-
ports from many stations located all over the country. The Omaha
a code which is not used for secrecy, but to cut down telegraph tolls
These reports give the temperature, the wind velocity, the air pres
sure and the cloud conditions at Z o'clock, Omaha time, in cities scat
tered all over the country from the Canadian northwest to Mortified,
VI. Colonel Welsh takes the figures and evolves from them certain
lines and curves which he puts on the weather map. This when
completed gives him a birdseye view, as it were, of the weather at
the time the observations were taken. He draws iobars and iso-
therms, mystic circles and evillooEing arrows pointed in all direc-
tions.
As a matter of fact a few minutes explanation by Colonel Welsh
clears up all the coudiness in the mind of an inquirer and makes
these seemingly mystic symbols as familiar as the first three letters
of the alphabet.
The isobars or continuous lines pass through those places which
have equal air pressure. The isotherms or dotted lines on the map
pass through those points having equal temperatures. The circles
with the white interiors mean clear weather at the points they desig-
nate. Those half white and half black indicate partly cloudy and
ton the wind is blowing at the time Of observation.

Glimpse of Map Shows

A glimpse at the map will disclose why this is so. Storms or
lother weather disturbances move always in the general direction Of
west to east. AS a matter of fact, in the west they come either from
the southwest, directly west or northwest. While all of the aereas
of disturbance do not pass directly over Omaha, there are few Of
them which do not exert some perceptible influence here on their
Journey to the east. The southwestern lows" usually come far
enough north to give us a touch of weather, while the northwestern
disturbances usually dip down enough TO nip us more or less severely.
Cities directly west of us usually eGcape the northwestern and south
western storms, while those in the southwest or northwest ar sub
jct to lows" from the opposite sections to a less extent than the
centrally located city of Omaha
Hence Omaha is both an important weather center and one for
which it is somewhat difficult to make predictions with the same as
surance that they can be made in other sections of the country.
weather map. The west, the great PLAINS and the mountains. has
more or less justly acquired the reputation of being the breeding
place Of much of the weather which is turned loose in the more east
ely states. The lows" which perambuate across the continent are
to a great extent only in their incubating stage until they strike the
region this side of the mountains. They arr not thoroughly developed
until they get well along in the Missouri valley. The eastern prog
nosucator has the advantage Of dealing with a well defined dBtur-
bance by the time il reaches his territory.
Colonel Welsh, the veteran who has been on the firing line in
Omaha 10, these many years, was born in Union county, Ohio. He
successfully sidesteps all inquiries as to the date of his entrance into
out about the time from the fact that he was hsbeas corpused out OF
the army during the early part of the civil war, but in 1884 ran away
a second time and Joined the One Hundred and Thirty-sixth Ohio,
having in the meantime passed the last milestone into the mystic
country into which the habeas corpus had no terrors for young
would-be soldiers. Practically his whole life has been spent in one
or another department OF public service.
