Y., March 15.—The weather prophets had better take in their shingles and enter the ranks of the smow-shovelers or sprinkling-cart drivers, for surely they are useless as the fortetellers of at- mospheric change and weather disturb- ances. For instance, we all trustingly read in our morning newspaper that “‘to- dey will pe warmand fair, with rainfall during the nignt.” With the guileless Iaith of children we gayly trip downtown in our prettiest, best attire, sans umbrellas, sans overshoes and sans heavy wraps. Invariably the wiseacre weather provhet has told another of his mistakes, ana we wade back home through a couple of inches of slushy saow or rain puddles, our feathers drooping, our best attire bedrag- gled and our tempers anything but flowers and sunshine. ‘Weatner prophets are useless otficials, say 1, and the old vane on grandpa’s barn can tell more about the weather than the bespectacled seientists who climb up into lofty towers -and consult a roomfel of atmospheric indicators and complicated electric contrivances, every one of which is out of order half the time. New Yorkers have had their share of profiting propket’s weather prophecies during the past month; their predictions concerning climatic changes have been all on the wrong side; consequently the Gothamites are losing that blind faith 1n weather-farmers that they once had. On Saturday the day was superb to look | , but it was a different thing to getout | in. The wind blew at the rate of fifty- two miles an hour, and silk hats, veils, handkerchiefs and old papers went flying | and whirling down the streets like crazy | swarming bees, | The sun shone in splendor, the atmo- sphera was clear and the skies were cloudless; neveriheless, the town was covered with severai inches of snow when Sunday morning dawned, and the weather prophet hadn’t breathed a word of it to any of us. George W. Whittell and Mrs. Whittell | left the New Netherland Hotel with their little family on Saturday en route to San Francisco. Their winter in New York has been an enjoyable one and they leave a host of friends here who will miss them greatly. Mr.and Mrs. Whittell anticipate an early return to the East. Miss Lucy MacDougall and Mrs. Jesu- rum of Los Angeles arrived from an ex- tended tour in Europe Jast Thursday. They will remain in New York a couple of weeks and then continue their journey westward. R. 8. MacDougall of Los Angeles came on last month to meet his sister, Miss MacDougail, on her arrival from abroad. They are guests at the New Netherland. . E. Lyons of San Francisco has kgen in the city attending to business of im- portance during the past week. i Hon. Russell J. Wilson, the prominent lawyer, is a recent arrival from the Golden Gate. He has been engrossed in business affairs of legal importance ever since the moment he reached town. - He is stopping at the Holland House on Fifth avenue. Charles H. Lovell is also a guest at the Holland House. Hon. James G. Maguire ran up from Washington, D. C., last Tuesday and re- turned on Friday evening. Congressman Maguire refers in glowing terms to the simple and dignified bearing of our new President throughout the inaugural pro- | ceedings. Indeed President McKinley is winning hosts of friends by his quick action in dismissing the squad of police that have kept strict watch over the ‘White House ever since Cleveland began his administration. The police were not necessary to the President’s safety, and Cleveland has received much condemna- tion for the peculiar precaution—a pre- caution no othef President of our nation ever felt cowardly enough to establish. McKinley has done away with it. Wise McKinley. Mrs. John W. Shaw left for San Fran- cisco on Friday, to make a short visit at the home of Mrs. W. Requa of San Fran- cisco. William B. Hamilton, direct from San Francisco, arrived on Friday. He is a guest at the Hoffman House. Mrs. J. 8. Cone has engaged apartments at the Holland, where she will reside dur- ing ner stay here. Major Frank McLaughlin, a prominent resident of Oroville, and a most popular man in San Francisco, is paying a short visit to the East, and New York in partic- ular. Major McLaughlin will be at the Hoffman House during hisstay in town. G. C. Bornemann is a recent arrival from the coast. Colonel Theo C. Marceau, as hand- some, debouair and dignified as he always 1s, has beena striking figure about the Waldorf and on the avenue during the past week. The Colonel took & prominent part in g News and Gossip About the Galifornia Golony in the Eastern Metropolis the inaugural parade and exercises, and thereby hungs a tale worth repeating. It seems that in 1888 Colonel Marceau, be- ing a resident of Ohio, was appointed on Governor Foraker’s siaff.
