The trouserine won't take In

from Pluym's, where much of
the fashion for Washington and
the whole country Is set.
The trouserine Is trousers with .
skirt draped over them. Chicago
declares that It will be the fash.

for tight clothes without their
drawbacks.
The pantaloon skirt somewhat
similar, was tried out in Wash.

Killing frosts as far south as Wood
VILE, in southwest Virginia. unseason-
able cold weather throughout the
Eastern States, with ice in the Adiron-
dacks, and withered crops and fruit
trees over a big section of the East,
all went to form record today of un-
seasonable cold June weather.
For the past two days Washington
has just escaped the lowest recorded
June weather in history At o'clock
yesterday morning the official ther.
showed 45 degrees. This morning at
the same hour it was 46. The lowest
recorded temperature for. June is ~
degrees, recorded on June 2, 1881. 1t
is q peculiar fact that yesterdays
perature record was equaled on the
same day, June 9, one year ago.

not much change in temperature. -
Forecaster Bowie declared today that
this meant that there might be a very
slow rise in temperature. maybe de-
gree or two, but that was all. There is
no warm weather in sight for several
days at least he said. =
Professor Bowie in explaining the
present cold which has set the oldest
try to quarreling, said, that it was due
to an unusual drift of air from far
northern Canada, southwark over the
United States. bringing Canadian
weather to a vast stretch of country.
What caused this drift, or what start
ed 1t we do not know. II is plain. how
ever, that such q thing happened. How
long II will continue we do not know.
.I have never before seen such a spell
of June weather in all my experience
as forecaster.
There were temperatures below freez-
ing recorded last night in Vermont.
New Hampshire, and Maine. Heavy
frosts were recorded throughout the
Great Lakes regions. all of interior
New England, interior New York, Penn
sylvania. the mountain regions of Mary
land, West Virginia, and Virginia
These frosts covered a vast agricultural
and fruit-raising country.
Though no official reports have been
received, 1t is understood that heavy
damage was done last night in the
orchard districts of Maryland, West
Virginia, and Virginia. Extensive ap-
pie and peach orchards in Washington
county and the mountain counties to
the West probably suffered severely.
Warnings of heavy frost In all of
these regions were given by the
Weather Bureau, and these warnings
have been repeated today. giving the
orchardists and farmers opportunity to
take all possible precautionary meas
ures to protect their crops. These frost
warnings were first sent out Sunday.

WHY NPLINe CHANGED MIND
Noted English Author Witnessed
Scene In Buffalo and at once
Altered His Opinion.

Rudyard Kipllng, in some of his
earlier writings, hooted at the idea Of
temperance, but after seeing in the
city Of Buffalo, N. Y, the scene In a
beer hall where two girls were made
drunk through the efforts of their
male companions, and then taken reel
ing down a dark alley, he wrote the
following on page 121 Of American
Notes:
Then, recanting previous opinions,
/ became q prohibltionist Better IT.
is that man should go without his
beer in public places, and content
himself with swearing at the narrow
mindedness of the majority; better 1t
is to poison the inside with very vile
temperance drinks and to buy lager
furtively at back doors, than TO bring
temptation to the lips Of young fools
such as the four l have seen. l un-
derstand now why the preacher RACES
against drink / have said There
is no harm in It taken moderately
and yet my own demand for beer help
ed directly to send two girls Keeling
down the dark street to--God alone
knows what end. II liquor is worth
drinking, 1t is worth taking a little
trouble TO come at-such trouble as
a man will undergo to compass his
own desires. 1t is not good that we
should let 1t be before the eyes Of chill
dren, and / have been a fool in writ
