Tue CHARACTER Of Sunday Law.

Large congregations have been IN at
tendance at the services held II the tent
in Northeast Washington. corner Of
Maryland Avenue and Thirteenth Street,
particularly on Sunday night when Mr..
J. S Washburn gave an address on the
origin Of Sunday laws and their true
character. He affirmed that the first
Sunday law IN history was that OF Con
stantfne, March I, 81 A. D.. which was
simply a heather edict favorable to the
sun worship prevalent at that tine-the
popular heathenism- Last night his
theme was Rest, the Sabbath as the
sign Of rest, Of peace. Of liberty, Of a
new creation, IN contrast with Sunday
laws which today, as IN their origin,
stand for bondage, for interference with
personal and religious liberty in Rome
or IN the District of Columbia alike
Mr.. Washburn viii continue on the
same subject this evening. taking q new
feature. Addresses are made BY him

OUTLOOK FOR FORTY
DAYS OF DRY WEATHER
St Swithiu Lived Twelve Centuries
Ago, But Many Have Faith N
His Day.

Today is st. Svithin's day. According
10 the old saying It viii rain for forty
days If Il rains today, and If the day IS
fair there won't be any rain for forty
days. II the Weather Bureau is correct
in its representation for today, then
this part Of the country at least viii
have TO get along without rain for forty
days, for the weather man has promised
a fair and warm day. The old rhy-ae
regarding the popular belief in the
weather-making proclivities CT St.
Swithin's day is as follows:

St swithin's Day, If thou dcust rain
For forty DAYS il viii remain:
81. Svithin's Day, if thou be fair,
For forty days twill rain nae Inaer-
The origin of this prediction dates
back to the transfer Of the remains OF
St. swithin from the churchyard to Win

the rain came down in torrents, and for
a time put a stop TO the work The re-
moval was accomplished however. bur
the rain kept up for forty days, it is
said.
This was away back IN 81 A. D., but
there are thousands OF persons who put
their trust in the rhymed prediction in
this twentieth century 4 scientific test

annually, or making winter trips to
to see Hawaii worked up and are will
ling to help do this Many of them
even now receive queries in regard to
the Islands, but the lack of cable
always prevented business men from
coming here, and unfavorable replies
were invariably returned. With the
cable, there will be no further obiec-
ton to business men coming for few
months at a time, for they can be in
constant communication with the
business centers.
1.-The passenger agents with whom l
talked are in favor of advertising the
Islands extensively as means Of
bringing tourists to see the possibili-
ties. Some of them will boom Hawaii
in their own publications, believing it
to be a means of inducing tourists to
visit here. The New York Central
was especially taken with the idea, and
their December issue of The Four
Track News contained an illustrated
article upon Hawaii, as a starter
They promise also to publish articles
in the coming issues, and am prepar-
ing facts and pictures for their use.
Another railroad has added a line
about Hawaii TO their ad. running in
the Chicago uapers, and nearly all of
them promised to assist in like man
ner. 1 came too late to get any notices
in their winter publications, which
were brought out in September, but
next year they will advertise Hawaii
extensively.
! "All the railroad men say they will
do what they can for us, but it will re-
quire more than that 1t will take lots
of hard work on our part and will cost
lots of money, but 1 have no doubt
but that tourists can be influenced to
come this way if the attractions OF the
Islands are properly presented
Eighty thousand tourists are booked
TO visit Los Angeles alone this winter.
They will spend at least 500 apiece.
so you can readily see how much that
amounts to for that city. part, at
least, of this number could be induced
to come a little farther and visit the
Islands. There are lots of things here
they would like to see, and now with
the cable there is nothing 70 stand in
the way. If the Associated Press
would send out even small reference
to Hawaii it would be published in
nearly every paper in the United
States, and would be the best kind Of
advertising for the Islands.

BOAT BOILER EXPLODED
THREE MEN FATsALItY HURT AND
OTHERS MISSING.

PITTSBURG, Pas Feb. Sat about
lis this morning, Just as the Pittsburg
harbor towboat j. w Allies had passed
through Lock No. her boilers exploded,
throwing her crew of fourteen men in all
directions. Three of the crew are known
to be fatally hurt, ana only five Others
have been accounted for
The boat was towing six loaded flats
toward PIttsburg, and just after getting
out OF the lock the explosion happened
and in very short time the Allies was
burned to the waters edge. The report
of the explosion was heard for miles.
and soon after rescuing parties were
searching for the injured
Capt. Shaw says he was sleeping in
his bunk when the explosion came, and
the first he knew of any danger was
when he found himself fioundering
around in the water fully 200 feet away
from the burning boat, with his blanket
still around him. He is not seriously
hurt but thinks that many of his crew
must have persisted.

WOULD HELP Beers
VAN NLISSINGEN WANTS KRUGER
TO VISIT UNITED STATES.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Referring to the res
9!utlon offered in congress today by Rep
feSentatlVe Cochran, inviting President
Kruger, of the South African RenuhIic
20 visit the United States as the guest of
lpe nation, Peter Van Vlissingen, treas
urer of the Chicago branch of the Ameri-
can TransvaaI league, today, said:
If the resolution is adopted 1t will
nave powerful influence for good in the
neace negotiations now pending. Receiv-
ing President Kruger in his official ca
pacity would be notice to the world that
the United States does not look upon
paper anneXations as final while there is
an effective force in the field. To thus
snow our friendship for the Beers would
have great moral influence in Great
Britain, where the masses are fooled into
believing that the sympathies of the peo-
PIE OF this country are with England in
Rl1e war. Shatter this belief and Won re-
move the main support of Chamberlain
and his adherents. The proposition for
an appropriation Of $4,000 to cover the
exepnses is very necessary, as President
Kruger is today a poor man.
