PROF. COLES FOR NOVEMBER.
From Storms and Signs. t
Our predictions of earthquakes, aw
ful storms.and strange phenomena lust
month, were all fulfilled; especially In
the Old Country, where more than four
hundred persons perished by one earth
quake, and where great storms wrought
terrible ruin. We fear that still great
er destruction will follow this month
nnd next, hs the great planets are all
leaving the morning side of the Run
and passing over to the evening Bide
preparatory for the great and final act
of the planetory conjunctions that will
occur on the 17th of December, when
Saturn. Sun. Earth. Moon and Neu
tune will all be on a line. W havo
reasons to believe that the Old Coun
try will receive the greatest uflllctlon
by these planetnry conjunctions; but.
should the electrical currents be re
versed by some sudden freak of na
ture, then watch out for storms, quick
nnd furious, In America. An east wind
will be the warning of coming danger!
If America escapes tho storms, earth
quakes and tidal waves, during these
Planetary conjunctions, then she will
receive the reacting forces during the
month of February, when awful, un
precedented storms will predominate.
COMING EVENTS FORETOLD.
As Saturn, the cause of all great
troubles and mighty evils Is now in
tho home of Sagittarius the oovmnn,
and In company with Mars, tho rod
warrior; watch out for euldemlcs nt
scarlet, malarial, and typhoid fevers;
accidents, conflagrations, suicides, mur
deis and crlineB of tho most diabolical
nature; plagues of files, bugs, nnd
water microbes; La Orlppemonla and
rheumatism. Watch for tho great
meteoric shower that Is duo this
month; and keep your eye on the
bright red twinkling star that will ap
pear In tho western horizon at early
evening time. A new comet will be
sighted In tho heavens; and nu lure's
Rlretut searchlights will Bweep over
heaven's high domo In such bewildering
nnd magnificent displays us to cause
much wonderment and fear! Great
sunBpots will form over tho face of
the uun nnd cause heavy and dnncer
ous storms. , Tho great storm, that we
mentioned In our October forecasts. If
coming nearer prepare for a "sweep
er," both on land and sea.
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Soventy-flve of every one hundred
surgical operations performed at "Low
Ebb" times proves fatal. From th
22d to the 2Sth no surgical o aeration
should bo performed unless It li a cane
of "life or death" that will not permit
of any delny. The Gtli, 7th, 8th and Oth
are nlso "Low Ebb" days of a danger
ous character. The 2d, 3d, 7th, 11th,
17th, 20th, 21st, 29th and 30th will bn
good days to gather In Into fruit. Ap
ples ground up at "Low Ebb" time
make bad tasting elder and vr.rv
poor vinegar. Farmers should consult
the "High Flood" days, as shown on
our Storm and Sign Calendar, and dig
their potatoes at "High Flood" time If
they want them to keen from deenv
Ing. The 2d, 4th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th,
20th, 21st, 22d, 23th and 30th will bo the
best days for fishing nnd hunting. The
best days to kill beef, pork and fowls
will bo the 4th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 16th and
ISth. To prove the theory of pork kill
ing, kill pork on the 4th day of this
month, and the meat will swell when
boiled and when fried there will be
scarcely enough grease from It to run
In the pan; but that killed on the Sllli,
for Instance, will fry nil to grease:
boiled will shrink.
WORDS OF WARNING.
Take no stock In the falsu reports
about the "world coming to an end."
This old world will be here many long
years, even nftcr those of the . -en-tleth
century have pasesd away. The
diphtheria will become epidemic In
manv localities: nnd a new disease
will puzzle the skill of the best nhvsl
clans. Phenomenal extremes of tem
perature, and unusual magnetic and
electrical disturbances may be looked
for this month, or else a good shaking
up by seismic shocks. Let the s ulh
eui nnd western states watch out for
destructive storms and floods. If n
break occurs in the gaseous matter now
passing over the sun any time be
tween the 1st and ISth, then the east
ern states and Atlantic coast may be
awfully storm beaten. Clouds runnlns
up from the southeast will be the
warning signal of an nunroaclfmg
storm. As the vital forces both good
and evil stay so near the oquatotl.it
line this month, we annrehenJ grat
danger, nnd frightful phenomena!

BRITISH TRAPPED
BY PAUL'S TROOPS
Concluded from Pag 1.
commander In chief, has Issued a long
statement Indicating the best methods
of distributing the money thus raised.
London, Nov. 1. An ominous cur
tnln has ngaln descended upon affairs
In Natal. No dispatch except the of
ficial telegrams of General Sir George
Stewart White has thus far been per
mitted to mention the disaster and
no telegram from Ladysmlth has been
received In London since the advices
of tho British commander. This gives
rise to a belief that communications
have already been cut, In which event
some time must elapse before the de
tails regarding British losses are ic
celved. If the war office officials
have received Information on this point
they hnve refrained from publlsh'.n
it. General White's estimate that the
British losses were about ninety Is
evidently separate from the probable
losses In killed nnd wounded among
the captured battalions.
MILITARY TRAINS FOR AFRICA.
Inspected by the Duke of Connaught
at Aldershot Yesterday.
London, Oct. 31. There was an ex
traordinary military parade at Aider
shot yesterday when fifteen traction
engines and forty trucks were Inspect
ed previous to their departure for
South Afrlcn. A stretch of sandy, rock
road was selected for the tests and an
excellent chance was given to observe
the points of the engines. A steep
ditch and banks two and three feet
high were safely traversed. Though
at times the wheels sank axle-deep,
other enfflnea pulled out the hapless
ones.
The duke of Connaught and the
Princes Louis and Victor Napoleon at
tended the trials and werq much
pleased with the result. Twenty-four
of the engines are to bo despatched to
South Africa.
TO SHELL KIMBERLEY.
Boers Said to Do Constructing Forts
Around the Diamond Town.
Cape Town, Oct. 31. It is reported
from Harkly-West that the Boers are
constructing forts around Klmberley
for the purpose of shelling the town.
Advices from Klmberley, under date
of October 27, received through a dis
patch rider, at Orange river, October
SO, report that all the wounded are
progressing favorably. It also appears
that as they are unable to blow up the
piers of the Modder river bridge, the
Boers are demolishing them stone by
stone. They have blown up practically
every culvert from the Modder river
to the Orange river. An armored train,
strongly supported, made a reconnols
sanoe October 27 nnd found the Boers
still nt Syptfonteln.

IN THE GRIP EPIDEMIC
Special Use of Hot Grogs
BY
Dr. Cyrus Edson,
"" of New York lUalth Department, and
Dr. LIBERMANN,
Surjeon. General of the French Army
H. Ltbermann, M. D., Surgeon-General
of the French army, In an article on
"La Grippe" (Influenza), recommends
tho following hot grog: "Ono third
goblet of Vln Marlanl, with two-thirds
boiling water, cloves and cinnamon,
and with or without sugar, makes a
grog of exquisite flavor, which pro
duces Immediate beneficial effect in
severe cases of cold, attended by con
vulsive coughing and depression. It Is
best tnken at bed time. In tho grip
epidemics In Franco It was the tonle
absolutely relied upon, and has re
ceived frequent deserved mention In
the Medical Press. It has been shown
that patients recover very slowly, thera
Is much general weakness nnd lassi
tude, Invariably calling for something
In the nature of a mild tonic stimulant,
and It has been found that Marlanl
Wine Is unequalled for such cases."
Dr. Cyrus Edson of the New York
Health Department has made a careful
study of the subject In his book on "La
Grippe," published by Appleton & Co.
On page 39 he writes of Vln Marlanl
and calls special attention to It In tho
form of a hot grog. In speaking of the
complete prostration accompanied by
the depression caused by this disease,
and also during entire convalescence,
his preference for n tonic stimulant Is
a hot grog of Vln Marlanl. He says
It Is excellent for the purpose Intended,
and recommends Its use freely. Th
remedy Is simple and within easy reach
of all who suffer from this dreaded
disease.
A book with further explicit details
will be sent by Marlanl & Co., 52 West
15th St., New York, to any one who
will write requesting same. It Is cer
tainly well worth writing for.
In addition to thn able authorities
quoted, the book offered contnlns many
more similar nnd most convincing In
dorsements, thus proving it the most
reliable of all known products of this
character.

for their products. Manufacturing was
never so actlvo and so unlvorsally en
Joyed throughout all tin olate3, work
wus never so abundant and the products
of the American farm and factory are
carried upon every sea and find welcome
In most of tho ports of the world. It la
a great pleasure to me to stand in this
historic capltol and to look Into the
faces of my countrymen here assembled
and to feel nnd know that wo ore all
Americans standing as ono for the gov
ernment we love and mean to uphold,
united for the honor of the American
home and for the faithful fulfilment of
every obligation which national duty re
quires. I cannot forget I could not for
get In this presence to make my ac
knowledgements to tho men of Virginia
for their hearty and patriotic support
of tho government In tho war with Spain
ami for their continued nnd unflinching
loyalty in tho suppression of tho Insurrec
tion in Luzon against the authority of
the United States. They came in swift
response to tho call of the country the
beat blood of tho state, tho sons of sioblo
sires, asking for scrvlco at the battle
front where the fighting was the hard
est and the danger the greatest.
My fellow citizens, two great historic
al events, separated by a period of eighty
four years, affecting tho life of the re
public and of awful Import to mankind,
took place on the soil of Virginia. Both
were participated In by Virginians and
both marked mighty epochs in the his
tory of the nation. Tho ono was at
Yorktown, in 17S1, when Cornwallls sur
rendered to Washington, which wns the
beginning of tho end of the war with
Great Britain and the dawning of Inde
pendence and union. The other, nt Appo
mattox was tho conclusion of the cruel
Civil war and tho'beglnnlng of a unifica
tion now happily full nnd complete rest
ing In tho good will and fraternal affec
tion of one toward another of all tho
people. Washington's terms of peaco
with Cornwallls secured the ultimate
union of the colonies; those of Grant
with Leo tho perpetual union of tho
states. Both events were mighty gains
for tho human family and a proud rec
ord for a nation of free men. Thoo
wero triumphs In which wo nil have a
share; both aro common heritage. The
ono made the nation possible, the other
made the nation Imperishable. Now, no
Jurrlng note mars the harmony of the
union.
At the conclusion of the president's
speech, Secretnry of the Navy Long
was Introducfd and In ncknowledglna
the reception Riven him by the crowd
said:
"I rejoice heartily with you In this
contribution to our equipments In
this example of what can be done by
southern capital and southern labor--and
In fact that this day Is a 'feather
day' In the proud history of (he grand
old commonwealth of Virginia," (Ap
plause.) The launching which followed was a
great success, the boat being christ
ened by little Miss Carrie Shuhrlck, of
Rocky Mount, N. C. great grand nlecs
of Commodore Shuhrlck. with the usual
formnlltles. It was a side launching,
but tho boat took the water like n
duck, amid enthusiasm and cheering
nnd the tooting of steam whistles.
After tho launching the president
nnd pnrty toon a drive through the
city, stopping n while at the executive
mansion to pay their respects to tho
governor nnd his family. On the presi
dent's return to the hotel he held an
other formal reception arul left for
Washington on his special train at 7.10.'

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Oct. 31. I'rlces of stocks
fell at tho openli.p today under the
weight of selling for London accounts.
Tho inarkot at that center was In a
stntc of semi-demoralization on the
news of tho loss of a considerable forco
of British troops by capture from
Lndysmlth, The soles for foreign nc
count In New York fnn up tonoarly
60,000 shnrc?. The resulting loss In
prices reached n point or more In sev-
eml Prominent Stocks, nornlilv rtmnna
me soumcrn railroads, which havo
been recent favorites for a rise. Tlv
experience of yesterday left no one dis
posed to hUV ttorln nn,1 lm T.nnr1nn
offerings were poorly taken. Actlvo
selling or some of tho prominent stock-)
added to tho weakness, After the op
ening decline, however, some support
was forthcoming which seemed to bo
based on the hopo of a relaxation of
the money stringency, but quotations
for money at 20 and 23 per cent, again
turned prices of stocks downward. Tho
speculative liquidation t-eemed to br
concluded about noon and there was
some recuperation during the latter
part of tho day. which was encouraged
by strong spots In the list. The Iron
and steel stocks became especially
prominent led by Federal steel. Tho
strength In this group was attributed
to a demand from a lnrge outstanding
short Interest. The rise In Federal
Steel reached r.H nnd In steel nnd wlr,
3. There were sympathetic advances
In National steel. Republic steel, Amer
ican tlnplate, American rnneltlng nnd
other Iron and steel shares running
from a fraction of 2?4. I be latter Na
tional steel. There wns a good cover
ing demand for a number of other
prominent specialties and the resultrt
especially those In the southern group
retrieved a good part of their early
losses. The Wisconsin Central new
stocks were conspicuous for an advance
to about Vt. above last night's level.
The market closed firm genernlly at
small net losses. The call money was
very feverish all day, receding several
times, but recovering violently and
and suddenly. The last loan was at 5
per cent., the low level nnd the ran
ranged above that to 3ft per cent., the
demand keeping nppnrently urgent and
large. Total sales MS.ll'C.
