Court? And a Yale man? Taft, from the moment of his birth on September 15, 1857, in Cincinnati, appeared destined for a life devoted to the law. Shortly after he was graduated from Yale in 1878, he entered a law school in his home town and in 18814- he became judge of Cincinnati s Superior Court. Married two years later to Helen Herron, he became Solicitor General of the United States on February 4, 1890. In 1892 President Benjamin Harrison appointed him to the Federal Circuit Court. Seemingly, Taft's career was now set for life, especially as he cherished the legal life and his seat on the court.

    My name is Keith Heidorn. If you asked me to describe myself in the context of the Weather Doctor, I would tell you that I am both an artist and a scientist who is deeply involved with the weather and other atmospheric phenomena on many levels. I have had a love affair with the weather for about 45 years. You see, I think that weather is the most sensual aspect of life, stimulating all my senses at one time or another and often several at once. I was born in Chicago and grew up in northeastern Illinois where I first fell in love with the weather. The Great Lakes region has its variety of weather extremes generally with a rapid turnover of daily weather events. United States 1 February 1893, Saint Louis, Missouri: Although the air temperature is only 13° above zero, Fahrenheit (-25° C), thunder and lightning accompany sleet and snow during the evening hours. 1 February 1920, Atmospheric pressure builds over New England went to extreme levels. Barometer in Portland, Maine reads 31.09 inches Hg (1053 mb), the highest February sea-level pressure ever recorded in the Eastern US. Hartford, Connecticut hits 31.06 inches Hg (1051 mb). The Eastern US record was set the previous day (January 31, 1920) in Northfield VT at 31.14 in, though it was the same air mass.

Marquess of Linlithgow Hopetoun House South Queensferry Lothian Scotland EH30 9SL National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973, 1980, 1983 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John Adrian Louis Hope (1860-1908), 7th Earl of Hopetoun (succeeded 1873), 1st Marquess of Linlithgow (created 1902), was born at Hopetoun House, near Edinburgh. He was educated at Eton and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, but did not enter the Army. In 1883 he was appointed Conservative whip in the House of Lords and in 1885 was made a lord-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. In 1886 he married Hersey Moleyns, the daughter of Lord Ventry. In 1889 Lord Knutsford, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, appointed Hopetoun as Governor of Victoria and he held the post until March 1895. Although it was a time of economic depression, he entertained extravagantly, but his youthful enthusiasm and fondness for horseback tours of country districts won him considerable popularity. His term coincided with the first federation conferences and he supported the federation movement strongly. In 1895-98 Hopetoun was paymaster-general in the government of Lord Salisbury. In 1898 Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, offered him the post of Governor-General of Canada, but he declined. He was appointed Lord Chamberlain in 1898 and had a close association with members of the Royal Family. In July 1900 Hopetoun was appointed the first Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. He arrived in Sydney on 15 December 1900 and his first task was to appoint the head of the new Commonwealth ministry.

The structure crumbled under the combined pressure of ice, the weight of Big Four Locomotive 96, and forty-nine freight cars. The train was en route to Terre Haute from Mattoon, Illinois, loaded with baled cotton, lumber, grain, paper, stove ovens, and general merchandise. Employees of the local waterworks company reported to the Terre Haute Gazette that the bridge was swaying moments before the accident. Fireman Dan Ruddell of Indianapolis died in the wreck.
