"OH, HOW HOT IT Isl"

This threatens to be very dangerous summer II
the streets not completely cleaned and at once.
Three days more, with the terrific heat blowing
from the face OF the sun upon our crowded and
dirty streets-such as yesterday-and pestilence
may arise. 1t was most unusual sight to behold
on Broadway, where thousands OF people, even at
the risk of their lives, dashed mady the wide
thorough fare to seek the shady side Of the street
People placed Jumps OF ice in their hats and plan
tain leaves, and sought refuge in cellars frightened
as were the inhabitants OF Paris flying from the
screaming bursts of the North German bombs. But
of what avail was all this They had to come out
again, to sweter and fume and rage at the heat
and its oppression the brains OF so many painting
thousands. The only thing inviting on Broadway
from the Battery to Union square Is the little speck
Of grass which fronts the City Hail. and this makes
a great relief to the burning asphalt pavement
which mandates and stretches Its elastic surface all
round the green squares of grass
There were some cases Of sunstrQke yesterday,
and in general the feeling was manifest that July
day could not be much hotter than this Ascension
Thursday In the merry month OF May.
The thermometer in front Of the HERALD Building
on Broadway scaled as follows yesterday, being
compared with the neat on the 9th of May, 1911

EXHIBITION OF DRAWINGS AT THE ACADEMY
OF DESIGN,

One OF the greatest difficulties in the way OF the
art student In America Is the want OF schools where
he can learn to draw correctly. The Academy Of
Design, I'm the fulhlment of its mission teacher,
has stepped In to supply as far as the means at Its
disposal will allow, the great want which has been
felt up to the present time and continues to be felt
in so far the higher instruction IL concerned.
This years exhibition OF the works of the students
furnish u satisfactory proof that progress has
been made ana that better ideas OF instruction
are rife, but the present state OF things can
not for this he accepted as satisfactory There ara
not wanting evidences OF patient work, with much
artistic talent, but for the most part 1t has been
msdirected. The pupils students If they prefer To
be called So have been allowed to forget the aim ana
scope OF their work. and TO indulge in picture max
ing instead OF the TRUTHFUL study of drawing.
Shading and stippling have not been used merely
az accessories but as the principal end TO be at
tained while the infinitely more important matter
OF outline drawing and proper indication
or the muscular form have been comparatively
neglected. We regret the absence of any examples
OF outline drawing in the exhibition, and hope that
the professor of drawing will see that in future
exhibitions this important branch OF study is fairly
represented In the life class the system Is more
healthy but even here the object OF shading seems
not to be clearly apprchendcd by the students,
many OF whom have backencd certain portions Of
their drawings without in the fantest way indicat
ing form, which is the principal use OF shading.
But In spite of these shortcomings the exhibition Is
a very creditable one and marks very important
advance In our art instruction.

Less anarchy now prevails in the Central
Western and Southern States. 1t appears that the
present revolutionary movements are for the pur-
pose OF gaining the ascendency In localities for
plumber and seizure OF the revenues.
Public attention has been turned to the opera
lions on the Rio Grande, and the movements OF the
Americans cause considerable excitement at the
capital. The Juarists blame the revolutonists for
the difficulties, while the revOutiOnsts publish ex-
tracts from American journals unfavOrable to
Mexico to show what the Juarez administration has
brought the country to. The revolutionists charge
a collision between Juarez and President Grant.
Animated and lengthy discussions have taken
place In Congress on motion to grant additional
powers to President JuareZ test vote resulted
In tie. The decisive vote is expected on the I'd
inst.
The government has paid all the civil employees on
the American projects, and the railways and canals
are being actively pushed forward.

CocKNEY OPINIONS ON GENERAL GRANTS
PRospEcTs.-We learn by cable that the
London papers, in their articles on the Ameri-
can Presidential question, assert that the re-
election of President Grant is doubtful if no
persists in keeping the claims for indirect
damages before the Geneva Tribunal of Arbi-
tration for adjudication. There is only one
trouble about this statement and that is that
the reverse of the proposition is the only correct
one, for Grants prospects of reelection will
be considerably lessened if he does not insist
upon these claims for indirect damages

of one Frank Lally, a resident OF this town, on a
charge OF poisoning the well with arsenic, and thus
attempting the wholesale slaughter OF the entire

tia points very strongly at Laly, and portion of
the water has been sent to New Haven for analysis
