The weather man seems to know that
today is St. Swithin's day. for he pre-
oicted a clear day. For centuries in
Europe the second rhyming prophecy
given above has been respected The
origin Of the prediction dates back to
the transfer OF the remains OF st. Swithin
from the churchyard to Winchester Ca
thedral.
AT his own request he had been buried
in the pathway of his church in such a
position that the water from the caves
would fall on his grave. and SO the peo-
pie In passing would tread on the spot.

taken up by pious folk and Inferred in

SENATOR CARMACK
AGAIN In HARNESS
Preparing to Distribute
Democratic Views.
Has Charge of Publicity Bureau, and
States Position on Trusts
and Tariff.

Senator Edward w. Carmack, of Ten
nessee, put in his appearance at the
headquarters OF the Democratic Congress
sional committee yesterday and began
the work which has been allotted to
him of preparing the Democratic litera-
ture for the campaign. He is chairman
of the committee on literature. and will
spend considerable portion of his time
here during the contest in seeing that
the voting population is properly sup
piled with mental pabulum. well sea-
soned with the issues of the day.
Concerning the impression which has
gone out that the action Of the Demo-
cratic caucus on trusts ::nG the tariff
4 short time before the adjournment OF
Congress was an effort to sidetrack
the Philippine question as an issue in
the campaign. Senator Carmack said:
Democracy and Trusts.
That is entirely untrue. although a
systematic effort has been made by our
Republican friends to so interpret the
acticn of the caucus. The reason for
the action of the Democratic caucus
Upon the trust and tariff question was
that they had not been able to have
record vote upon the trust question in
the House. Upon all other questions
that figure SO largely in this campaign,
the Democrats were able to place them
selves upon record by a vote upon dis
tinct propositions.
The Democratic position upon the
Philippine question was expressed by a
vote in both Houses In favor OF the Deni-
ocratic substitute to the Republican
Philippine civil government bill After
consultation among number of leading
Democrats it was suggested that this
one question. the trusts was the only
important one upon which the Demo
Gratis had not had an opportunity to
clearly and explicitly declare their po-
sition. 1t was. therefore. decided to hold
a party caucus and adopt a resolution in
order to give a complete official express
sion OF the Democratic program.
Thoroughly in Earnest.
There is not. however. any one ques-
tion before the country with respect to
which the Democrats are more thor
oughly united and more unanimously in
earnest than they are in their opposition
to the Republican policy of crime and
plunder in the Philippine Islands. In
my opinion it overshadows every other
question:
Senator Carmack is very much en-
couraged over Democratic prospects,
and expresses himself as confident that
the American people will not longer sub
nit 10 the alleged Republican policy Of
plumber both at home and abroad.

CHANGES MADE In
NAVAL WAR PLANS
Squadron to Bombard Forts
as a Strategic Move.
Army Officers Will Be Detailed on Each
Ship-Will Try to Silence
Land Guns.

Rear Admiral II. C. Taylor. chief of
Tie Bureau of Navigation. said yesterday
that the plans for the war game to be
played at the eastern approach to New
York in Angus. and September had been
changed in some particulars. One of the
changes is that the squadron will bonn
bard the forts in accordance with the
dictates of strategy, and spectacle
worth seeing is promised to those for
tunate enough to be anywhere near the
place where the engagement will occur.
THE original idea said Admiral Tay-
assigned to support the forts, so that
the army and the navy could alternate
in offensive and defensive work. That
has been changed so as to provide that
the coast defense shall not have any
naval support. The squadron will act
wholly on the offensive and the forts
wholly on the defensive. On each ship
there will be army officers detailed to
decide the probable effect on the ship
OF shots from the forts. and there will
be naval officers at the forts to observe
the probable effect OF shots from the
ships.
To Engage the Forts.
INSTEAD OF having the ships file by
the forts as If trying to force Ii pussuss.
this being the original suggestion. the
vessels will engage the forts with the
object OF silencing them steaming back
and forth just as they did in the attack
on San Juan, Porto Rico.
1T has been determined that the tor
pedo boat fiotilla shall not take part in
the Long Island Sound exercises. To
have them participate in joint army and
navy operations would seem to COM
plicate the situation. The fotilla will,
however, take part in the naval maneu-
vers to be held in the West Indies next
winter. In preparation for these ma
neuyers the vessels of the flotilla will go
from Norfolk to Newport this summer to
have exercises OF their own in Nara

A Colorado woman has patented an

A Colorado woman has patented an
invention for furnishing distilled wa
ter for household use. The apparatus
is intended for use in connection with
n common teakettle and tin pail, and Is
not, therefore. in itself every eXper-
sive, comprising only section Of tub
ing, with connecting devices at either
end to fit the kettle and pail. The col
lar on one end of the pipe is provided
with clamps to engage the edges of the
opening in the kettle, and the opposite
end has fiat collar, which rests on the
edge OF the receiving vessel. There IL
also a plug to fit in the spout OF the
kettle, thus affording but one exit for
the steam, namely, through the pipe,
and into the pail. 1t is obvious that in
passing through this pipe the steam
will condense and form In drops on the
inner surface of the pipe and pail,
falling thence to the bottom of the lat
ter. To disengage the condenser from
the kettle It is only necessary TO turn
the clamps and detach the connecting
rod, but the inventor states that the
connection between the vessels is rigid
enough to permit water to be poured
from the kettle without interfering
with the receiver.

TWO STORIES OF THE CIVIL WAR.

everybody knows. was a gallant off.

General Grant looked him in the eye
for a moment. You are right, Colo

Senator Pettus has never forgotten
that interview with General Grant.
The other story illustrates the same
nobility OF feeling in General Robert L.

II was at the close of the battle Of
Gettysburg. As General Lee rode from
the field he came upon a young Union
soldier. mere boy, lying on the grass
wounded. The boy, though painfully
hurt and unable to rise, had a spirit
not to be quenched. AS he recognized
the Confederate uniform he raised
himself upon his elbow. "Hurrah for
the Union" he cried defantly, though
with feeble voice.
General Lee got down from his
horse, went over to the boy and laid
his hand tenderly on his head. Il

Saving IN Oil FUEL
SOUTHERN PACIFIC WILL
EQUIP ALL ITS ENGINES
COAL TO BE PRACTICALLY ABAN.
DoNED-oIl HAS PROVED A
MoNEY-sAvER IN Ev.
cry WAY.

Oakland. Cal. Sept. 27.-Oil as a fuel
has proved such a success on all the
lines of the Southern Pacific that gem
eral orders have been issued for the
conversion OF all the engines into oil
burners as soon as possible. Coal will
be abandoned absolutely. Within year
the Southern Pacific will be on an oil
basis solely. The order Will affect all
the divisions of the company. The
local division generally known as the
Western. is in the lead in the number Of
oil-burning engines. The Sacramento
division comes next and the Los An
geles division third. All of the divi-
sions are using oil for about one-third
OF the traffic.
three oil burning engines. There re-
main eighty-three yet to be converted.
! II is estimated that within eight
| months all of the engines will have
| been converted and the use of coal on
the Western division permanently
abandoned. During the month just
passed the oil-burners on the local di-
vision travelled a distance Of approx
mately 100000 miles. The coal burn
ing engines passed over 3O6.752 miles
OF track. The grand total travelled by
all engines is 5O6,752 miles.
These figures do not include the Sac
ramento and Los Angeles divisions
During corresponding month last
year the mileage was little over
100000. The gain of this year over last
is something over $4,000 miles per
month, which is fairly accurate index
to the increase in business. II requires
on an evarge 1000 gallons or about
twenty-four barrels OF oil for every
100 miles as compared to five tons OF
coal. The saving on every hundred
miles by using oil ranges from SIG to
$50. The total saving for the 100000
miles travelled by oil-burning engines
represents from $4,000 to $4,000 per
month.
The company has expended upwards
of $4,000. 900 for oil. The investment Is
a good one. however. the saving eff
feCted will have paid for the enormous
expenditure long before all the engines
have been converted into oil-burners.
On the Western division alone the saw
ing per month when all the engines
have been converted viii approximate
$4,000. When the other coast divi-
sions use oil exclusively the total sum
saved will be upwards of 100000 per
month.
The company's profit on oil is lessen
ed by the fact that when oil was first
introduced as fuel the company en-
tered into a number of contracts at
twenty-five and fifty cents a barrel.
Since the contracts were signed. oil has
fallen to as low as twenty and twenty
five cents a barrel. Thus on much OF
the oil used the company is paying
from twenty-five to fifty cents more
per barrel than the market price. Not
withstanding this fact, the enormous
saving arising from the use of oil is
sufficient almost at the present time to
provide q million in dividends annual
ly. To the saving effected by the use
OF oil in locomotives must be added
the saving arising from the oil burning
