FUTURE USE OF THE LONG ROOM.

The Long Room of the Stock Exchange, which is
now occupied by telegraph stands is to be changed
into room for dealing in miscellaneous securities.
The proposal reported by subcommittee, TO admit
to the room 100 outside dealers In these securities,
on payment of 800 year each was defeated by
decisive vote at regular meeting OF the Govern
Ing Committee Wednesday. The author of the plan,
one of the oldest members of the board, confessed
that the objections to it were insurnountable Inc
defeat of this measure does not affect the general
plan to allow trading in miscellaneous securities
The secretary OF the Exchange reported thatsixty;
that twenty five others were members OF nrms rep
resented there. He was directed to send notices 10
them asking them TO show cause why the bylaws IN

regular meeting of the committee IN April. When
the Mining Exchange began dealing in stocks
few weeks ago the stockholders who were con-
nected with il numbered about three hundred. The
most of them have sold their seats and the action
of the Stock Exchange committee yesterday isw well
understood as intended only to give time to the
others to sell theirs without great sacrifice.

THE TRANSFER WILL Re MADE.


THE TRANSFER WILL BE MADE.
At Police HEADQUARTERS Yesterday the request of
Mayer Grace TO have Captain Conn placed III
CHI irge of tire City Hall Station was subject OF
much conversation. The prevailing opinion was
that the Board would not make the transfer. COin-
missioner Matthews said:
asked the Mayor this morning II he really wanted
the transfer made lie answered that he did or he
wouldn't have asked it. l called his attention to the
published reports that delegation of politicians had
asked his aid the matter He stated that ne was not
moved by the action of the delegation or by any pOt
cal consideration. think the Board ought to make the
unless it is violation OF some OF law
The law is different FROM what IL when Captain
Steers was sent TO the City Hall Section 269 OF chapter
$50 of the laws of 1884 provides that no transfer de-
tlment assignment TO special duty OF any member o
the police force except in cases authold OF required
shall hereafter be made or continued except Tor
police reasons rew anG IN tbs tse armeSt But
as of fairness to the Board the Mayor or any
one asking transfer of this character should state
such facts as would justify It az In the interest of police
service We shall take time to examine INTO the law
and the propriey of making the transfer AT the same
time, inclined TO comply with the Mayors request
II could my way clear III the matter Captain Con-
lin appointed on my nomination. DutlI wht nave
heard is true, in relation 70 the enors whlch ne mas
made TO be assigned to the Twenty-sixth Precinct,
think has overstepped the bounds of police proprety
suggested TO the Mayor the prOpricty o1 placing ser
ceant in command there and inferred from what he
said been in favor Of that He said he would
consider the matter but for the present ne wanted Con-
lin transferred to that precinct am also In favor or
putting the Nineteenth subPrecinct i'll charge OF
geant and OF not appointing any additional captains AT
present II had any Official knowledge that the trans
Yer Of Captain Conn was wanted for political reasons 81,
Mayor would make charges against me.
Captain Steers, of the City Hall Police, called on
the Mayor yesterday, but failed TO see HIM. IL
leaked out that the politicians who want captain
Steers transferred are the same men who were
IaborIng hard last December TO keep Mayor Edison
from appointing q successor 10 Hn6ertO lhomp-

Frustrated by Heat.

1t is rather remarkable that the intense heat
of the past two days has caused but few
instances of persons being overcome by it. At
the health Office and the coroner's list no
deaths were reported, and the ambulances had
no more than the ordinary business, and, though
suffering and praying for a cool blast, no one
apparently had given the dangerous side Of the
summer thought. During yesterday three
cases Of prostration by heat occurred as follows
John Thornton, who works at Kregelo & Whit
sett's, had to be carried home. He was in a
dangerous condition, but the proper remedies
brought around some Improvement From IL
o'clock yesterday morning until 2 in the
afternoon Henry Ritter. a driver for

lay in the yard of saloon at the corner of East
and Buchanan streets. He was taken to 226

He is in critical condition. Coroner Stratford
felt the effects of heat Sunday, and yesterday had
to put aside business and 90 home. In number
of Instances outdoor work was stopped for a
time during the forepart of the afternoon.
The street thermometers went anywhere from
9S to 102 degrees while that of the signal service
station at o'clock in the afternoon denoted 90
degrees. Toward evening the breeze became
stronger, indicating probable end of the present
hot period within twenty-four hours.

Hot Weather Stories.

A few nights ago the atmosphere was sitting,
and party of four who occupied the smoking
apartment in Pullman car coming down from
Chicago found it particularly so. The fat man
from Boston sat near the window, both the inner
and the outer panes of which were down.
Lets have some air." said the Indianapolis
traveller.
'Ill raise the window" promptly responded
the Boston man. He put up the inner pane
and with gush of delight exclaimed: 'Ah,
that is refreshing. Why didn't we think of that
before. This breeze is delicious. He did not
appreciate the laugh until some one suggested
that it would be we'll to get the full benefit of
his breeze by raising the outer sash.
The Chicago man sat in Massachusetts,
avenue streetca yesterday afternoon. He had
been down to the end Of the route Illinois
street. His collar was unbuttoned his coat off
and vest open. He had a spell of hot weather
with the thermometer flirting about the ninety
fifth degree mark. He perspired copiously as
his palm-leaf fan, big as a barn door, went VIC
iously to and fro.
II live in the boss city," said ne. ~ wish I
was there. We never want for a breeze, and at

What People Should Eat During the Heated
Term--The Cholera Not Coming.

Doctor, what shall we do to be comfortable
these excessively warm daysr asked the report
er of Police Surgeon Hodges.
Battle battle Why, have taken three baths
this day, and shall want another before retiring.
Water cools the blood, Gains the nervous system,
and makes a man feel good. Common as water
is, people don't understand half its virtues. The
average man does not battle frequently enough
this warm weather, but he pays the penalty in
enduring an increased amount of suffering Let
the children battle frequently, and do not forget
to put little ammonia in the water. 1t will
keep them comfortable, in good humor and good
health"
'And what shall the people eatl'
'Fruit-ripe fruit 1 mean. The watermelon
is very wholesome, but wouldn't advise one to
eat the melon excessively, especially on going to
bed, as it fills the stomach with water, and, sleep
ing as we do these warm nights under little
cover, cooling off of the body in the early
morning is apt to bring a congestion, or
cholera morbus. Ripe fruit of any kind
is wholesome nowadays. But beware of giving
children the small fruits which have seeds i'm
bedded in them. These seeds are as sharp as
lancets, and lay on their delicate stonlachs like
SO much ground glass. Meat is oppressive this
time or The year TO efyDody, ana TAKEN quo I"
day is sufficient for the ordinary
man. Young veal and lamb is
harder to digest than beef or mutton,
suggestion that might be of benefit to those
who buy young meat altogether in the summer
time. The best meat that the people can eat in
hot weather is the ordinary fowl. A great many
suffer from eating entirely too much of every
thing in summer. If you want to be comfort
able, don't gorge yourself with food, but be
temperate, and you will escape that drowsy
heavy feeling that makes life almost unen-
durable"
How are workingmen generally faring this
oppressive weather2'
BADLY, and they aggravate their misery by
drinking too much beer. can't say too much
against the use of alcoholic beverages this time
of the year. They are at the root of every case
of sunstroke they heat the brain, body, and in
tensify suffering thousandfold. The laborer
must let beer alone; his lot is hard enough with
out it just now The best drink is cold tea; it is
soothing, healthful and quenches the thirst
Ice-water should be taken in moderation. Soda,
pop and lemonade are all good, but to my mind
cold tea is the best of all"
''Is the cholera going to visit us this year,"
POSITIVELY, no. 1t would have appeared IN
this country a month since, if it had chosen to
come at all. None of the leading medical men
fear its approach now. We have a mild form of
it, of course every summer, in dysentery and
cholera morbus; but these complaints can be
mastered. An opiate is the best thing that l
know of for dysentery and kindred complaints.
