So accustomed are the people of this
section to fine weather that a slight de-
gree of discomfort from this source dis
gusts them. The middle of August last
was characterized by few days Of high
temperature. This is the way the
HERALD spoke in it's editorial columns
of that episode:
Old Sol got in his work in fine shape
on us yesterday. The maximum figure
ran up to 81 degrees Fahrenheit. The
current summer will propably chronicle
a larger number of hot days than any
other in the past ten years in this Sec
ton. But, much as we suffer from such
a visitation, how blessed our lot as COM
pared with the sun-stricken anu swelter-
ing East! While for an hour or so
the mercury climbs to 80 degrees
and even to 95 degrees, or as yesterday
to the extreme of 81 degrees, yet during
the earlier hours of the morning tenn
perature ranges only along in the sixties.
By o'clock in the afternoon it gets back
to the same entirely endurable degree
later it falls to go degrees, if not, indeed
to lower point. The cool nights are
most provocative of sound sleep, and we
all awake in the morning, refreshed and
reinvigorated for the days toll. In St.
Louis, for example, the mercury has
been ranging along at 100 degrees to 102
degrees as a maximum temperature,
while at midnight the nearest approach
to comfort has been SO degrees. The
horses to the number of thirty day
have fallen dead in the street.
As contrast, on the 18th of the month
the New York World spoke of the
weather in that city and at other points
in this way:
Even the Signal Service man sue
cumbed to the heat and humidity yester
day. He lay back in his chair gasping
for breath. His collar had melted away
His clothes hung limp about him, q
stream of perspiration poured down hiE
face and his hands hung motionless by
his side.
On screen behind was written these
words: J.

Gossip.

1t was announced in the HERALD few
days ago that new road is to be built
between Ballona and Santa Monica at an
early date, and that those interested were
busy obtaining the necessary right-of-
way. 1t transpires, however, that the
line may not probably run on the origin
ally-planned route, as there is PROPOSE
ton on foot to go down the Centinela
Canon, leaving the Santa Fe line
just below Inglewood. This, it is
said will give line to Santa Monica
from this city three miles shorter than
any at present built or contemplated, and
the idea would be to control the pas
senger traffic. OF course under such an
the California Central's
trains would not run over the road.

Robinson and Hetke,s Circus.

Yesterday morning there was large
crowd congregated around the depot. On
inquiring what was the matter it was
found that the special train containing
Robinson and Heike's circus had arrived
in the city. They soon pitched their
tents near the s. P. freight depot, on the
old circus ground. The company has re-
duced prices of admission to 25 cents.
These people come we'll recommended by
the press and public wherever they have
given any exhibition Of their attractions.

TO the Coast.

The excursion travel to the coast was
very heavy yesterday, and each of the
lines had it's fair share OF patronage.
The hourly trains to Santa Monica were
we'll laden, and there was also a large
exodus to Long Beach, Alamitos, San
Pedro and Redondo Beach. The inaug-
uration of Sunday excursions over the
California Southern's new line to
San Diego was quite suc-
cess, and seven carloads of passengers
availed themselves OF the low rates to
visit the Mission at San Juan and enioy
a dip in the ocean few miles farther on.
The trip to Oceanside was also made by
goodly number. Catalina Island was
favored with her usual compliment OF
Sunday guests.

The Trunk Lines About to Pay
Them Openly.
"The commission business is not
abolished, nor is it likely to be, in fact 1
think that it will be better than ever"
said the ticket agent of one the leading
lines running into the city to HERALD
man yesterday. "The reason for this
statement is that the trunk lines will soon
come in and establish commissions OPEN
ly. At present agents only receive their
perquisites from the lines in the Trans
continental Association, and that
is where the rub comes in. One of
the trunk lines little bit weaker than
the others pays the agent secretly COM
missions to direct business in it's interest,
and as this secret has leaked out the
other trunk lines are of opinion that the
only way to secure fair deal is to pay
commissions all round"

A GOOD DOG.
Tip Takes Care of His Inebriated
Master.

A little after midnight yesterday morn
ing Officer Schonecke found William A.
Peters sitting on curbstone. on Spring
street, very drunk. A little skye terrier
frisked about him barking occasionally
as if calling for help. AS the officer ap-
preached the animal ran to him.
"Come," said the policeman, "you had
better get up and 60 home"
"I mustn't 60 home," said the man.

"well, what is to be done about it?"

to his feet, II don't care whaeh 20 do

the besh dog, Tip. He knowsh when
Pm drunk, and he looksh out for me.
Eh, Tp?"
Tip headed for the station with the air
of a dog who had been through this be-
fore, and Peters was booked on the
charge of drunk. His chief concern was
that he should not be parted from his
Tip. While he was being searched he
,ntinued his maudlin praise Of Tip,
narrating his faithfulness and intelli-
gence on various other like occasions
When the man was finally led away to
his cell in the jail, Tip trotted along in
front of his master, looking up at him
as he walked unsteadily along in the
arms of two policemen. He evidently
appreciated the responsibility OF his
trust. The two were put into one cell
and the last that was heard was Peters
congratulating Tip on their happy re
union.
