"What do you: say about the •theory that certain types of weather occur at rntes'vals of 30 -or 72 years?"" "There is a suspicion to that effect," replied Mr. Stupart, "but it has not yet been.clemoneirrated beyond doubt.

Heavy frosts are reported to the Weather Bureau from alichigau and other States of the lake. region. The cold wave is particularly severe in the southwest, and is due, ac- cording to the weather experts to the heavy rains in that part of the eountry. Forecaster harry C. l'rankfield, of ,the Weather Bureau, said last night: "The. reason for the cold weather we!. have had during the past two or three•' months is that the high areas of pressure' have moved eastward from the northern portion of the country almost continu- ously, and these have caused cold north - winds. The<t is the only reason I can,, give for the cold weather areas As to what makes these high areas keep np all this season, is more than I can tell." LOVING'S TRIAL. CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED TO CITY OF i•IOUSTON. Sentiment Said to be Against Man Charged With Slaying His Daugh- ter's Alleged Betrayer—Excitement in the County is Intense. Lovingston, Va., .Tune 3.—Judge W. G. • Loving was not bidieted to -day for the murder of Theodore Estes, whom he shot last month. after having heard that Estes, while out driving with his daugh- ter, Elizabeth Loving, had drugged and attacked. her. Excitement in the county is intense. There is no danger of an outbreak of any character, but the sentiment against Loving is very strong, and his friends admit it is well nigh unanimous. Notwithstanding his long prominence in the business and political affairs of ' the county, it is admitted that the over- ' wbslwing sentiment of the county is so strongly against him that a jury cannot be obtained here, and will have to be olatained from, another county. the prosecution will not djipose a mo- tion to get a jury elsewhere, but will fight a motion to have the case tried elsewhere. A hundred citizens were sum- moned by the commonwealth to testify `that in thir opinion the prisoner can obtain a fair trial in this county. The case anay be taken to Halifax .county.

The afternoon session took the form of a symposium, the papers submitted being based on the relation of the pro- fession to the public. Dr. G.

Toronto despatch: The problem of the degenerate, one of the greatest of mod- em e�ociology, was dealt with is a pa- per read by Dr. R. W. Bruce Smith at the opening session of the 27th annual meeting of the Ontario Medical Associa- tion,'w'hich commenced at the University clival building yesterday m oring Thee bject of Dr. Smith's proper was "The care of the degenerate, pith sugg� do s for `preventing the propagactioa .of the ecaew'� In the sign of hie remarks the lectirer resignferred to the continued fncrease of the degenerat class, which ormed a great charge on the public funds, ...and also seriously affected. the race, while the influences recognized as. faa- r.'6em in producing degeneracy seemed to escape the attention they deserved. One of the greatest of these factors was here- dity, and Dr, , Smith pointed out that many of the "'States of the Union had enacted laws forbidding any persons tainted with insanity, or with any of those physical conditions which are known to be likely to be reproduced in the offspring, to marry. He also dis- cussed the importance of providing an industrial institution where all feeble- minded women slam are not properly ' protected may receive custodial care, c and thus be prevented from becoming mothers of imbecile children. "What was the use," he argued, "of building asylums when ave neglect to use preventive measures, and to eau- , tate public opinion to the fact that `• -much can be done to check the increase in the number of degenerates in the eountry?" He alluded to the import- ance of properly estimating child •char- aster, and the training of the mental faculties' of children. The burden was Ione to be borne equally by physicians, teachers and parents.

To find a parallel to the conditions that have prevailed during the past two months it is necssssar-v to go back; at least seventy-five years. The records of the meteorological department at the Queen's Park extend. from 1830;and• ac- cording to Mr. R. F. Stupart, the di- rector of the service, there have not been two colder consecutive months than April and May during that period. April, 1874. was colder than last month, but it was followed by a moderately warm May, and, while there are in- stances on record of a lower •average temperature in May. they appeared to have been preceded in every case by a more fp;yorable April. Warning to Ffuit Growers. Professor Deltoid C. Clark, of R.aeine, Wleoonsin, who claims to have had sev- enty years' experience of Weather obser- vation, has favored the Globe with a few;preale:4one which may well give the fruit grower and farmer these for rnis- giving. Ho wr•itos: "I am, anxious to warn my friends in the fruit di ttricts of Niagara, Welland and. Lincoln of the probabilities of a killixg frost daring the last days of May and the first days' of rune. Your weather comes from this part of the United States, and takes two days to reach you. Remember this fact, that Toronto weather is on record for many years at the observatory,'AO if you look for the late eprings you will; find that they occur at intervale< of thirty-six or seventy-two years.

Stupart referred to the records, and pointed: out, what has already been stated, that not for 'it yearn have April and May, taken eorreecutively, been eo cold ,as the past two months. So far as•: American meterological history went,' the coldest year on record was, 1816, when, it is stated:, snow fell and front oeour-red in every month.

Swatow, China, June 3.—A proclama- tion issued by the Svatvan Revolution- ary Society declares that the uprising is not directed against foreigners or ordinary Chinese citizens, but against the Government, the intention of the revolutionists being to attack and burn every Yemen and exterminate the offi- cials, with the object of overthrowing the Government. The missions, with the exception of the German mission at, Lien Chow, have thus far been unmolested, but the mis- sionaries are abandoning their stations and seeking refuge here.

Rome, June 3.—A group of Italian priests have issued a remarkable open letter to the Pope. It is a daring reply to the censures uttered by his Holi- ness in his allocution of April 17, against the most .modern a hoof of ecclesiastics, and it accuses the Pontiff of violating the rights of eonscienee in his treatment of Father Murri, who was suspended from the priesthood for critieititeg the Vatiean'•s policy, and other priests.

New York June 3,—Adorned with jewelry and glittering finery worth sev- eral thousand dollars, two Syrian brides, who, with their husbands, were pas- sengers in the steerage of the Celtic, which arrived from Southampton yester- day, excitedthe wonder and suspicion of the customs inspectors. All were taken before the Deputy Surveyor in charge to explain the unusual display. Salim. Sororu, one of the bridegrooms, explained that he had left his be- trothed, Marie Haled, the beautiful daughter of the prineial barber in Beyrout, Syria, eight years ago to come to America and make a fortune. Salim is now an American citizen, and resides in San Antonio, Texas. He said he was taking his bride to her new home. Hans Marroon, the other Syrian, said that he, likewise, had left Nahmas El - las, one of the prettiest girls in Butroun, a village thirty-five miles from Beyrout, three years ago and had recently To - turned to be married. He lives now in Toronto. The two newly wedded couples had met on the ship at Cherbourg. As to the five jewelled bracelets that were on each arm of each bride, together with several diamond studded rings and ear rings, they were wedding gifts, the bridegrooms said. The inspector, S.

Toronto Printers to Continue Work and Appeal to Union. Toronto, June 3.—The members o! the 'typographical Union at a very largo meeting held last night at Victoria Fatli decided that pending the decision of Pros. ident Lynch, of their International Union, they would continue at work on the terms arranged. by •Vice-Presid.ont HIays last week. The local union expects that Mr. Lynch will endeavor to have a better Bat- tlement, but if he should uphold the agreement made by Mr. Hays, then the only course left to the men will be an appeal to the annual meeting of the In- ternational Union, to be held in Hot Springs, Ark,, in August next. The stsreotypers on newspaper work are still negotiating with the employers, but a settlement is probable, and in any ease the agreement with the employers provides for the reference of any'drspute to arbitration.
