New York, N. Y„ March 1.—It is stated
that when the king and queen go to Ire-
land in the spring they will pay a week-
end visit to the Duke and Duchess of
Manchester at Kylemore, says a Herald
dispatch from London. Great prepara-
tions already have begun for the royal
reception at this beautiful place in Con-

Duke of Marlborough Will Probably
cure the Appointment.
By Associated. Press.
New York, N. Y„ March 1.—There is now
much more likelihood of the Duke of
Marlborough becoming viceroy of Ireland
than heretofore, cables the London corre-
spondent of the Herald. Lord Dudley
shortly will be obliged to give up the
lord lieutenancy owing to the precarious
state of the health of Lady Dudley, and
it is generally believed that the Duke of
Marlborough will succeed to the post.

Chicago, Ill., March 1.—Becoming the
sister of her own children is the situation
of Mrs. Minnie Krueger, who with her
four sons, has been legally adopted by
William R. A. Wodrich and his wife.
The unique arrangement resulted through
the desire of Mr. and Mrs. ’Wodrich to
make Mrs. Krueger, who had lived
them since she was 7 years old,
legal daughter. Mr. Krueger, who
widow, is 25 years old, and her four
dren, William, Paul, Arthur and John,
who now become her legal brothers, are
9, 6, 4 and 1 years old, respectively. Not
only do the children become brothers of
their mother, but should she marry again,
they would be brother-in-laws of their
stepfather.

Five others were convicted of felonies

low pressure are usually about 1000 miles
in diameter. The air moves around the
center of a low from right to left, or in a
direction contrary to the movement of the
hands of a watch, and spirally inward, as-
cending as the center is approached. The
movement of the air from right to left

is descending and flowing rapidly outward

Galveston can justly boast of one of the
most agreeable climates to be
where on the globe. This
rather the current weather
which go to make up climate,
by one of the best-equipped weather bu-
reau offices to be found in the United
States, or elsewhere.
There is nothing in which people are
more generally interested than weather,
and any one who will visit the local office
of the United States weather bureau, lo-
cated on the fifth floor of the Improve-
ment, Loan and Trust building, will feel
well repaid for the trouble. The instru-
mental equipment of the office consists of
barometers, barographs, thermometers,
thermographs, psychrometers, anemo-
meters, rain gauges, sunshine recorders,
etc.
It will be interesting to know that the
U. S. weather bureau has about 185 fully
equipped and well distributed stations, in-
cluding several in the Bahama and West
Indian islands and one on the north coast
of South America. Both the' Canadian
and Mexican services co-operate with our
service. Over this immense area extend-
ing from the north coast of South
America, over the West Indies, the Ba-
hamas, Mexico, the United States and the
inhabited portion of Canada, regular ob-
servations are taken twice daily at 7 a. m.
and 7 p. m., Central time, and selected re-
ports are telegraphed to the forecast offi-
cials in the different sections of the coun-
try.
The Galveston office receives each morn-
ing reports from 45 stations well distri-
buted over the country. These reports are
forwarded by special code for the purpose
of saving expense and securing greater
accuracy in transmitting the data.
A recent report
reads as follows:
morse,
reads:
ture at 7 a. m., 50 degrees; .52 inch of rain
during the past 24 hours; sky cloudy; wind
blowing from the west with light velocity;
highest temperature during past 24 hours,
58 degrees; lowest, 50 degrees.
After these data have been transformed
to a map, dotted lines called isotherms are
drawn through places of equal air tem-
perature, one line for every 10 degrees.
Solid lines, called isobars, are drawn
through places of equal air pressure, a
line being drawn for every tenth of an
inch. The barometer lines make plain the
location of areas of high and low pressure.

New York, N. Y., March 1.—Dr. Rod-
erick Terry, for nearly 25 years pastor of
the South Reformed church in this city,
has tendered his resignation. His only
reason is the expressed belief that there
is such a thing as a minister remaining
too long In one church.
Dr. Terry is one of the best known
clergymen of the Dutch Reformed church
in this country and his church is the old-
est, as well as one of the wealthiest in
New York. He is widely known for his
advocacy of what he called “worshipful
music.” He possesses a large personal
fortune on which he has drawn for years
to support a famous choir of 50 voices,
giving concerts every Sunday afternoon
in South church.WHILE on one of his voyages this
jack of aTl trades was a seal
hunter on the Russian-side of the
Bering sea. He was an athletic youth
and could knock seals on the nose for
their pelts along with the best. Hs

time in the salmon fisheries of the Pa-
cific, where he acted for a time as a
fish patrolman. Among the other ad-
