Hicks on September Weather.

The first storm period for Septem-
Der lies between the end and 18th.
New moon falls on the fourth, the
Central day of the period, and moon
will be on the celestial quarter OF the
fifth. During the first part of this
period very warm wave will move
out from Western parts of the
continent, the baron eter will fall in
same sections, and from about the
fourth to the seventh, progressively
from west to east storms of wind, rain
and thunder will visit most parts of
the country. If these disturbances
are purely continental-that is, con-
fined in their origin and progress to
inland, warm weather will continue
after the storms. If equatorial storms
are prevalent along our southern
coasts and seas, there will be mark
ed change to cooler weathers, with
probability of frost in regions to north

An entire volume might be written
upon the work of the marines during
the Civil War, and yet how many peo-
pie IN this locality really know what a
marine is. The motto of the marine
corps is "Semper Fideles," always
faithful. Rudyard Klpling has made
famous the British marine IN his poem
of "Solder and Sailor too" But the
American marine has never had ac-
corded him the credit which is due
him. From the establishment of the
corps during the Revolution up to the
present time the marines have upon
countless occasions shed lustre upon
the glory of American arms. To-day
all the world knows of the brilliancy
of their exploits at Guantanamo. The
heroism they displayed there in the
face of overwhelming odds is charac-
teristic of the marines.

The Week in Business.

August failures were smaller in
number than for any other month in
SIX years, excepting May and July o.
this year, and smaller in amount than
for any other month excepting May,
June and July of this year. 1t hap
pened that those months were excep.
tionally free from the large failures
which come with little dependence on
the existing state of business. In
manufacturers August failures were
the smallest in any month excepting
May of this year, and neither in tha;
branch nor in trading was there sign
of any weakness in any branch of
business. In all important branches
of both, clothing stores possibly ex-
cepted, the absence of large failures
was particularly significant. But if
failure are few the volume of solvent
business is heavy, with August clear
ings 24.o per cent. larger than last
year and 55.4 per cent. larger than in
1892.
The astonishing feature is the mag
Ditude of demand, Notwithstanding
prices which would ordinarily check it.
In products directly consumed by in.
dividuals, the larger employment and
better wages of the working force give
explanation. Efforts to meet the de-
mand call for more stores, manufact-
uring works and machinery and facil-
ties for transportation, as if every
mans wages were in part diverted to
build up The nations machinery of
manufacturing and distribution. The
occasion promises quick profits, the
building is largely for the future, and
it goes on in spite of unusual prices.

MONEY FOR INVESTIGATING.
RECOMMENDATION OF GEN.
ERAL TOZER.
Thinks $4,000 Should be Put in
Tax Levy for Pure Water
Supply.

At the special meeting of the City
Board of Trustees last night, Captain
John Zittinger, commanding Company
G, Second Infantry. n. G. c., appear
ed and announced that Troop B, Cav
airy, Captain Kay commanding, had
been left in the lurch by lack of trans
portation of the horses of the troop
to San Francisco. Word had been re-
ceiyed that the San Francisco Citizens
Committee would not pay for trans
porting the horses. though it would
meet the expense of transporting the
troops. So it happened, Captain Zit-
finger said, that Troop B was S126
short He said if the board would come
to the assistance of the militia with
500 the boys would scratch around
and raise the balance by subscription
among themselves. as they had no fund
on which to draw
Each of the members present signi-
fed his willingness to appropriate the
necessary $10O from the immigration
fund, and Captain Zittinger and Lieu
tenant Ruhstaller. who was also pres
ent, returned thanks and departed
Chairman Mckay produced a tele-
graphic communication from General
L. Tozer, who is in the East, request
ing the board to provide for fund of
$4,000 or 100000 in the tax levy, to be
used in investigating the clear water
supply proposition.
Mr.. Bentley favored the suggestion
and said it would be better to provide
such a fund than to rely upon appro-
priations from the general fund In
that connection he said that while in
the East he had met a practical engi-
neer who had superintended the plac-
ing of a number of filtering plants in
large Eastern cities. and he thought
that in case such a plant was decided
on for Sacramento, it would be proper
to have a fund to draw upon to secure
the services of such a man In any
case he would advocate providing for
expenses of investigation in the tax
levy.
Mr.. Devine was in accord with Bent
ley's views He thought such expense
should be met by direct tax rather
than by a bond issue He should not
object to taking $4,000 to establish a
filter plant or for investigating the
best method of securing a pure water
supply.
1 Douglas said he believed in clear wa
| ter, but that it would take $4,000 to
purchase 10,000.000 gallon pump for
the waterworks antN he did not like the
/ idea of piling up too much taxes.
Kent said all the pumps wanted could
be bought for SO. 600 each-that men
who had pumps to sell wanted to sell
bad.
! Douglas said he had talked with a
number of pump men, all of whom had
told him that to purchase such a pump
would cost from SO. 900 to $4,000.
Devine agreed with Douglas, and
| pointed to- the 100 per cent. rise in iron
and steel, which he claimed was due to
the trusts which controlled the same.

was ordered filed and the board ad-
