WATERS WITH MAGNETIC POWER

Springs in Indiana.

Chemists are always inclined to
show scepticism when they hear OF
waters that communicate magnetic
properties to steel objects plunge>
into them, and strenuously combat any
sucL idea. According to the Leighton
photographer at Chicago, however,
there are in the state OF Indiana. three
springs which magnetic needles,
blades Of knives, etc. The first is at
Cartersburg Springs, the second pro.
ceeds from a bored well at Lebanon,
and the third from a bored well at
Fort Wayne. These waters contain a
large proportion of carbonic acid
which escapes on exposure to the air
As the gas escapes heavy precipitate
of oxide of magnetic iron Is formed
and when all the gas has disappeared
no magnetic property any longer Is
aintained.-London TitBits.

STORY-THREE OUT OF
THIRTY-SEvEN TAMMANY
BRAVES PRESENT

Tammany turned cold shoulder
TO the Democratic National organiza'
ton last night The members of the
National committee were invited 70
the Democratic club with the under
standing that they would meet there
Charles F. Murphy, Mayor Mcclellan
and all the Tammany leaders. Mr.
Murphy and the mayor sent their re
srets and none of Mr.. Murphy's close
friends attended the reception
Only three of the thirty-seven Tam
many district leaders attended the re
ception and only one of the depart
ment heads in the city government
was present All the Parker leaders,
with the exception of. Senator Cor
man, went to the club, including Da-
vid B. Hill.
Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, was
elected unanimously to the chairman

made to induce Senator German to
take the place.

Murphy's Note.
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall, did not attend the recep-
ton given by the Democratic Club to
the members of the Democratic Ma
tional committee last evening, neither
was any of his immediate friends or
lieutenants of the Democratic organ
ization of New York county present.
In fact, only three of the district
leaders visited the club, and these re-
NAMED for short periods only, as If
to watch the proceedings and report
to their chief now the absence of the
leaders of the local organization af-
fected the National leaders. Those
present were Julius Hamburger, of the
Tenth district, who disappeared be-
fore the reception really began; John
T. Oakley, leader OF the Fourteenth.
and commissioner of water supply,
gas and electricity, who left the club
house soon after David B. Hill and
William T. Sheehan appeared, and
Thomas J. Dunn; leader of the Twen-
ry-siXth, who spent the greater part
Of the evening about the club house.
Thomas F. Smith, secretary of Tam
many Hall, arrived late. He declined
to say where Mr.. Murphy was, and
said that the affair had been arranged
on such short notice that Mr. Murphy
was unable to break two positive en-
which he made last week.
He stated that he was not at liberty
to state what these engagements
were, and ridiculed the idea that the
absence of Mr.. Murphy and all of the
more important Tammany leaders sig
nified a preconcerted plan to remain
away from the reception.
John Fox, who issued positive
statement on Monday afternoon that
Mr.. Murphy and all of the Tammany
eaders would surely be present, was
busy throughout the evening explain
ng why none of them was in evil
1ence. He did not learn that Mr..
Murphy would not be present until
le arrived at the Demo cratic club last
