6 THE EVENING STAR: ip a a 8 Cu is NOVEMBER 30, 1888. INAUGURATION WEATHER. What the Signal Office Records Show— March 4 and April 30. The signal office contains among its records Probabilities of good or bad weather on Inaug- uration day. A search into the figures has re- cently been made, and it has been found that from 1872 to 1888, inclusive, the 4th of March hasbeen a clear day three times, a fair day ten times, and a cloudy day six times. Rain or previous and the day fol- was made, with the +h 4, ont of a pos- n, or 22 per cent, were reent were fair, 14 or 27 per cent were cloudy, and rain or snow fell on 20 or 39 per cent of the whole number. The ly mean tem) ture for March 3 is 38 de- os 4 is 36, and for March 5 is 35. highest daily mean temperature for March 63 degrees in 1880, 54 degrees in 1874, 45 in 1882, and 45 degrees in 1985, e west were 13 in 1873, 24 degrees in 1884, 29 degrees in 1872, 29 degrees in 1887, 30 in 1875, and 31 de; in 1888, or 35 per cent of the whole number of days have a Mean temperature of less than degrees. March 4, 1873, isthe coldest of the seventeen here conside: Some idea of the severity of that day may be gained by the fact that the tem; ‘ture of the air in the morning was only 4 de; above zero, at midday 16 above, and the highest during the day was but 20 de, above zero. It will also be remembered ‘that a strong northwest wind blew throughout the day, reaching a maximum velocity of 28 miles r hour at noon and atno time luring the day falling below 20 miles per hour. In view of the mpts of thin-blooded Americans to obtain a change of date for the tion from March 4 to April 30, a search was also made into the weather records of the latter date. It was found that April 30 has been a clear day nine times, a fair day five times, and a cloudy day three times in the past seventeen years. Rain has fallen on but two of the seventeen days. Including April 29 and May 1 with the above, it is found that out of a possible fifty-one days, nineteen or 37 per cent were clear, nineteen or 37 per cent were fair, thirteen or 25 per cent were cloudy, and rain fell on ten or cent of the whole number of days. It was then calculated that the prob- ability of rain is just 50 per cent less on April 90 than on March 4. Tho daily mean tempera- ture of Aj 29 is 56 deg.; April 30 is 57 de; May 1 is dog. ‘The highest daily mean tem- atures for April 30 are 74 in 1885; 74 in 1838; in 1878 and 1879; 60 in 1872 and 1873. The lowest daily mean temperature for April 30 are 49 in 1883; 50 in 1876; 51 in 1874; 52 in 1880, ——__ FOREIGN NEWS AND GOSSIP.

An Albany special to the New York Herald says: Cornell university has lost the $1,500,000 bequeathed to it by Jennie McGraw Fiske. In the court of appeals a decision has been handed down affirming the findings of the courts below. Justice Peckham, who writes the decision which will make the university men wail, holds that Cornell university is, by the provisions of its charter, limited strictly to the possession of $3,000,000 worth of property. The opinion states that at the time tl at Mire: Fiske made her will the university already 4 more property than the aggregate permitted by its e r. Consequently it cannot take the vari- ous legacies bequeathed by her. Mrs. Fiske’s will set aside $290,000 for specific funds, and provided that the balance of the estate left after paying other legacies should also £° to Cornell university. These bequests would have made Cornell university one of the richest in this country. Gov. Hill was one of the counsel originally retained in the case. ee. = Suz Wants To Be Mayor.—A Los Angeles special to the New York World says: A few years ago “Lucky” Baldwin paid $20,000 to ‘erona Baldwin to settle a breach of promise suit, She has apparently gone through that sum, for a couple of weeks ago she visited San Francisco in company with a son of Mil- lionaire Fallon, She is back here now, and the other morning she issued a card asking the public to vote for her for oe of Los An- — She heads the card with a quotation rom Third Corinthians, eighteenth verse, and declares that she is compelled to become a candidate because she has been refused em- ployment as a clerk on the score of her sex, 20 Some Neorors Nurse Detvstoys.—A Colum- bia, 8.

In Orangebur the smal colored farmers are bringing out their stock to A RED HAT FOR NEW YORK. Rumor that Archbishop Corrigan Will be Made Cardinal. jews was received in New York yesterday that it is whispered in Rome that an American archbishop will be raised to the dignity of a cardinalate at the consistory to be held in De- cember, Concerning this report, the Catholic News, of this city, will say next Sunday that its representative in Rome declared a few weeks ago that, though such a rumor had become current, there was small probability of the ap- pointment of a second cardinal for the United States, this being still considered a missionary country—although the great growth of the church therein impressed one with the idea that it ought to have larger representation in the sacred college. It is admitted, however, that the correspond- ent may not have understood the reasons that would justify the appointment of another car- dinal. His statement taken in connection with that of an English contemporary, would imply that if the red hat is to be forwarded to an- other American prelate, it will be destined for one whom the holy see deems entitled to it by virtue of um circumstances that for special distinction. That this may be the view entertained by the Roman authorities, the honor of prothonotary apostolic conferred so recently on Vicar General Preston and that of domestic prelate on Vicar General Donnelly seem to denote. These two appointments have set at rest many of the al ‘d stories, circu- lated from prejudiced sources, that the policy of ‘his Grace Archbishop Corrigan was not en- tirely approved of at Rome, and the presenga- tion of The red hat to New Yor metropolitan would be but a fitting com) ent to a most practical method of rewar merit and sup- pressing scandal. is True, there are no honors, the News goes on to say, no higher distinction, that could more endear him to his flock. The testimony of his ople’s regard for him was given at the cele- Eration of fils silver a, —— his enteral also signalized with a special indulgence. But there are millions of people outside the church whoalways hear the scandals and seldom the consoling sequences. A special indulgence has to them no interest, the announcement of minor honors no attraction. It takes an event of national importance to chain their attention and to demonstrate to them how fearlessly the church refuses to temporize with that which it considers subversive of law and morality. ‘The age is growing liberal and enlightened. Protestants no longer see in the honor paid a Catholic prelate any danger to American insti- tutions. Ministers of every Christian denom- ination, with but very few exceptions, see in the scarlet robes of the cardinal an insignia of office that years of fruitful labor have earned— a tribute from his superiors to a co-laborer in the field of Christian endeavor, not the emblem of anything that is beers The elevation of Archbishop Corrigan at this day would serve to illustrate this as an era of better feeling amon; all denominations—for all are Americans, an no matter what may be the religious doctrines they subscribe to, or the version Bf the sacred book they read, the constitution of these United States is a common political bible and an heir- loom as dear to one as to the other. gs Pica variant Sharada POLITICAL FACT AND OPINION. At the next meeting of the California state board of trade resolutions will be presented for adoption containing a memorial to Presi- dent-elect Harrison asking that the Pacific coast be represented in his cabinet. Republican papers in Massachusetts suggest ex-Gov. Robinson for Gen, Harrison’s attorney- general. ead Mr. J. Scott Harrison has been visiting \his brother, the President-elect, at Indianapolis, and in talking of the circumstance to a Kansas City Times man, he said: ‘I don’t want an of- fice and would not take any one that could be given to me. Furthermore, any supposition that I will take any part in the distribution of local patronage is a'mistaken one. That is a matter for the republicans to settle among themselves, and it would be officious for a democrat to interfere. You know that ‘Ben’ and I are on opposite sides of the political blankets I am none the less a democrat be- cause he was elected President on the republi- can ticket.” A mandamus was issued by Judge Boyd, in Wheeling, W. Va., Wednesday, on petition of George W. Atkinson, republican candidate for Congress, and directed to the county commis- sioners, restraining them from certifying to the governor the result of the recount in that county, and citing them to appear to-day and show cause why they shall not be required to certify the vote as originally returned by the commissioners and canvassers of election.

The Utica Herald feels constrained, in view of the vote which he received at the recent election, to suggest Lieutenant-Governor Jones, of New York, as the democratic candidate for the presidency in 1892. The total vote cast for Jones was over 200 more than the total vote cast for Hill; the plurality by which Jones was elected was over 3.000 more than the plurality by which Hill was elected.

However we may deplore that absolute want of delicacy with which the press in general lends to the unveiling of the domestic concerns of public and private individuals, the practice has become so universal that society submits to it with scarcely a protest.
