TTTTVTTTTTTTVTTTTT wrrrrf WEATHKR PKBMGTlONii. The twelve days after Christmas indi cate the weather for the following year. Each lay in order shows the weather for one month. Blow out a candle, and if the wick continnues long to smoulder, look for bad weather. If it gOM out quickly, the weather will be fair. When it begins to snow, notice the size of the flakes. If they are veary tine, the storm will be a long one; if large, the storm will soon be over. After the frogs begin to sing in the Spring, if they are frozee in three times, you may be sure that afterwards you will have warm weather. If it rains on the first dog-day, it will rain on each of the other thirty-nine. If on the other hand, the first dog-day is dry, all the rest will be i^. When you see a cloud in the sky that grows larger, it is going to storm When you see a cloud growing smaller and melt away, it is going to be fair. If the chickens oome out white it rains, it is a sign that the stonn is tor be a long one. If they stand around under the shed, the . storm will be short. As the old woman said, “I never knew it to begin in the momin* and rain all day in my life. But I’ve known it to bepn at noon »nd rain all day lots of times.” If the breastbones of the Thanks giving chickens are lighter in color, there will be a good deal of snow in the Winter following. If the color is dark, there will be little snow. When a person kills a snake he does well to consider what kind of weather he would like. If he hangs the snake up, it will rain; if he buries it, the weather will be fair. When the cattle lie down as Boon as they are turned out to pasture in the morning, it is because they feel a rheumatic weariness in thw bones, and you can look for a rain soon. When a night passes and no dew falls, it is a sign it' is going to rain. This umen loses much of its mystery when one remembers that dew has not fallen because the mght was dcmded. _ If the melt of the hog killed in _ the Fall is big at the front end, the WintCT will be sharpest at the banning. If the melt is bi^est at the rear, the Winter will be coldest in the latter part. When yon see the sun dramng water at night, know that it will rain on the morrow. The sun is said to be draw ing water when its rays ^n be shiaing through rifts in distant clou^. In Winter when you see the wild geese flying south, expect cold weather They fly south because the ponds to the north are frozen over. When the geese are seen flying north, warm weath er is to be expected. If the sun sets in a cloud, it will nun on the morrow. The person who takes this saying as literally true would do well to remember that unless the ck>ud that hides the sun from his sight extremely large, a spectator a short .distance to the north or south would at the same moment see the sun clear sky. A Hurricane 1« BiaUnsor Baltimore, July 20.—fierce tor nado, characterize by a wind storm of extraordinary veloaty, thunder, vivid lightning and a heavy rain, suddenly burst upon Baltimore at 1:80 p. m. to day, coming from the southwest, with the net result that eleven persons lost their lives, hundreds of bouses were unroofed, trees in the public parks and streets were torn up by the roots, many buildings damaged and several people injured. The storm exhausted its fury in less than 15 minutes. The damaj^ done in the business portion of the city was comparitively slight, bdng confined to the blowing down of signs and injur ies to roofs. It was in the residence portions of the city, along the river front and in harbor where the wind spent its violence. Of those who per ished nine were drowned in the ha^r from open boats, one was killed by a falling tree and one by a live wire. On the strength of the fact that tne Louisville and Nashville Railway acc^ts a (iharter under the present Constitution of Kentucky, renouncing one granted in the fifties, the Courier-Joun^ sug gests that there is to be a combination of &e Louisville and Nashville imd Southern Railway, the latter absorlnng the former, or each absorbing the other on the “community of interest” plan. Whether this will be done, or how it will be done, depends, otir contemporary guesses, upon the issue of the legal pro ceedings for the dissolution of the Northern Securities Compuy. If this scheme for operating different amd competing companies together is decid ed to be valid, then, it is alleged, a Southern Securities Company will be formed to hold and manage the South ern and the Louisville and Nashville. State laws forbid their consolidation, as State laws forbade the consolidation the Northwestern railways. But a com pany holding both, if Ukwful, will effect all that is desired, which is the suppres sion of wasteful and cut-throat compe tition. It is not clear, however, how the Louisville and Nashville’s accept ing a modified charter will further Mr. Morgan’s supposed scheme of a South ern securities company. Something has been said about the Southern get ting control of its rival by buying its stock, but common stock of the Louis ville and Nashville at 150 is hardly desirable asset, since the present net earning can hardly be expected to con tinue after the boom is over. Just now the net earnings may justify such jrice as $150 per share, but that figure : s a poor basis for a permanent invest ment. Jt will be recalled that the pro- rasal of the Louisville and Nashville to juild into a territory already served by the Southern was soon followed by the coup in Wall street that put the control of the former into Mr. Morgan’s hands. Peace at any price” appears to be the motto of our present Napoleons of Finance. Still, peace bought at the rate of $150 a share seems to lack the element of permanence. children or grand-childrea or near rela tives can prove themselves. .

A spedai from Asheville says: A report comee from Black Mountain, not altogether direct, but none the less credited, to the effect that the health of “Big Tom” Wilson is .ailing fast. Big Tom, whose fame as a bear hunter has long since broken through stete bounds, proposes to act as g*iide for President Booeevelt should he take part in the prospective bear hunt this fall which he has talked over interestedly with Senator Pritohard. There are those who firmly believe that the president really means to make the trip, and to all such persons the report concerning Big Tom’s physical conation is a source of alarm. They fear that in his enfeebled state he will not be able to keep pace with the strenuous strides of the chief executive. The president’s expressed desire to Bruin on the lofty Black has given rise to a number of suggestionsi some of wWch are perhaps more amus ing than valuable. One view is that the president should enter the Land of the Sky between two days and imme diately make a br^ak for tall timber; otherwise he would be hunted down by office seekers and not get a shot at any sort of game without killing a score or more of the class of gentry referred to. Others scout this view, contending that no one would be so lacking in a sense of the eternal fitness of things as to importune the president under such circumstances. Those who hold this opinion, and they are in a decided majority, say the president should first come to Asheville for a day’s rest. President Palma, of Cuba, in an inter view, says prospects of his country are bright and that when Cuban sugar can compete in European markets pros perity will come. HMtodon Dos Vp la Texas.

Thesitoationin the Philif^nes so far as it relates to the Frian can be briefly exprassed.- Under the union that existed between churoh and state, nndw the I^Nuiish regime, that is be tween tlie Spanish government and the Catholio chnich, the church was really ■ess of the situation. The dif ferent orders of Friars, Frandsoans, Jesuits, whidi the Jesuits were md to have been the best, indicating what the other most have been, iriieie the real rulers of the coontiy, the petty magistrat«s everywhere, wi^ power of life an^ deaUi, and thus the power over the iH^)ert7 ud the posons especially the female persons of the FlUpinos. adfguate descriptiim of their ty- rannieal, O|>pce0siTe, mufiarooa arc lustful rule, wpuld ^ nnpMelsye. There setans to Be mUe doubt even from Catholic testimony that the Frian were about as unsavtNy a lot of priests aa ever cursed a peoide by their pre sence and example. Now the Filipino insurrection was very largdy directed against these Friais. They had wrested some of the best lands of the FUipiim from them and the ^ple were being reduced to the position of hdidess tenants and serfs. There was the feelii^ that these lands, by fair means or fool shcakl be restored to the peojde frmn whom they were unfairiy and foully wrung. And the hatred against the Friars for their outrages oi filiiMno homes had grown to an intensity of feeling that thought of nothing but revenge. The Spai^ soldiers who fell into Aguinaldo’s hands were kindly treated. The Friars were killed or horribly mutilated, after a sort of rude babaric effort to make the pun ishment fit the crime. And then the United States Government took posses sion and the Friais flocked to 1 by the hundreds and thousands to be under protection of a ^otestant power rather than to be left to the vengeance of their co-religionists. With the estaUishment of order in the Islands it found that the Friais can not go back to their lands, fOr fear of the people But by the TrMty of Paris their huids are not to be confiscated, as the lilifwo Government would have done immedi ately, if it could have been established, and their persons are to be protected, far as sudi imtection is afforded to any the inhabitants of the Islands. Meanwhile it is acknowledged that their very presence is adanger to ordw and a enace to the established government. And now the President of the United States makes the proposition to buy from these Frian at a fair valuation their lands and to hold them as puUic lands for the people from whom they were undoubt^ly unlawfully extorted at first. At tfatr same time, since the United States has nothing to do with the matten that have made these Frian so unpopular that their lives are con stantiy in danger, the Vatican as their authoritative head is asked to recall them with full liberty to send othen in their {dace, if need be. The proposi tion ii a teir one. M»« that »e Euro pean country, and Brazil, for one among South'American countries, have cut the Goiuian knot by pas ' simple edict of banisbment of every memerof the obnoxious order. But the United States does not do business that way. Its doctrine of the sqiara- tion of church and state tolerates the Jesuit or the Frandscan until they become criminals in the eyes of the dvil law. But the President has the whip-hand, nevertheless. If the off^ to the Vatican is finally refused and the recall the Frian is not ordered, the Frian are still afraid to take possession of their lands or to have any communica tion with the tenants who now occupy them. They can be condemned for Uie puUic good, on the most obvious grounds of necessity and the owners Mid what they are deemed to be worth jy the appraising board. And then they can look out fHr themsdves. The United States government is not g(^g to send a bodyguard out with every Friar who wants to |^t beyond the police f^edion of a dty. It will try to punish his murderer if his death ensues. He is no lonj^ a dvil magis trate and his ecdedastical p»tion does not give him one whit more impor^ce in the eyes of the law than the Filijwo that he used to rob and plunder. It it reported that the Pope it willing enough for the lapds to be purchased but is unwilling to order the recall of the Frian from the Philippines. Of course the propodtion bean on its face more or less humiliati(m, for the failure of a supposedly Christian Chiuch to have recalled them long a^ on its own. initiative. But the huimliation hi^ better be less than the more tl^ it will prove to be under public discusdon. And we throw out words of warning here to aU irhcmi it may concern, pol- itidans or ecdedastics. Bettter not a political issue of the Frian. The purchase of their property is more than they deserve, historically con sidered. Beddes this, the Preddent is a Pro testant, and there are mme Protestants than Catholics in America. They habitually divide on governmental .
