for the figure named, and refused to sign
the contract for less than $500 more.

sons Between this and Last Year.
The highest and lowest Signal Service
temperature yesterday was 90o and 56e,
with brisk northerly winds, travelling from
fifteen to twenty miles per hour. The
highest and lowest temperature on the
same date last year was $40 and $40.
The highest and lowest temperatures one
year ago to-day were go and $50. One
year ago yesterday was the beginning of
the third bot spell in August The first
one was from the Sd to the 9Th, and the
highest temperature 104o. The second was
from the 10th to the 18th. the highest be-
ing 1929. The third was from the 10th to
the 29th, the highest temperature being
1859. The 30ih only had maximum
temperature of $50, but the 31st recorded
1O00. There were during August of last
year twenty-tbree days with a temperature
above 800, The highest being 1852, and nine
days with temperature of 1909 and over
the highest being 1852.
The first nineteen days of August, 1885,
gave twelve days in which the temperature
was above 90o-the highest, 104o The
first nineteen days of the present month
have included ten days with a temperature
above SOC, the highest being 1929.
If we are to be blest-or cursed, as the
case may be-with as many hot DAYS in the
remainder of the month as there were
during the same dates last year, we would
have eleven more hot ones. but it is to be
hoped that maximum of 1859 will not be
reached this month or next. For Septem-
Der, 1883, from the 9th to the 1lth, in
elusive, the temperature was 1000 and over,
the highest being 106o, and there were
eight DAYS in that month with temper
ature of 1902 and over, and seventeen above
90o. 1t was scorcher never to be forgot
ten, and the hottest September on record.

WHY IT WAS ILLEGIBLE.

a Letter Written in Hebrew Causes Some
Annoyance in the Police Court.
A beautiful array of gentlemen of leisure
responded to their respective appellations
in the Police Court yesterday, and without
exception pleaded guilty to the charges pre-
ferred against them, viz; sleeping in cars
at the depot. Among them was young
Hebrew, who, in mitigation of his sentence,
told the Judge pitiful tale. He was Just
from New York, he said, and did not con-
slider himself confirmed "bum,n even il
his appearances did go against him.
Have you done any work in this vicin-
ity? inquired Judge Buckley.
"Oh, yes; I've been pickin' hops up the
river here"
"Why didn't you stay there?"
well, | couldn't become acclimated
somehow or other, and then, besides,
couldn't mske enough money"
What will you do, if let you go?"
$50 to Frisco"
"Why didn't you go there before, instead
of loafing around here?"
well, only got in town Friday"
why didn't you go Saturday ?"
well, you see, Judge m very religious
and | must not travel on Saturday"
"Oh, see.p
The prisoner grinned, and so did the
Judge. Everybody else laughed outright
TO show you that I've been workin'
Judge, said the prisoner, diving into his
pocket, here's letter from my old boss
in Chicago Look at it,
His Honor took the soiled and rumpIed
paper and unfolded it. He held it up to
the light, and a panied expression came
over his face. Then he got up and went to
the window. He rubbed his eyes and
squinted, but at last gave up in despair
Il can't read it," he finally said, and be
tossed it to City Attorney Church, with the
request that he try it. But Mr.. Church
was as unsuccessful as his Honor. CLERK
Larkin tried it, but it was no go.
The prisoner winked drolly at BaiIif
Rowland, and his face was wreathed in
smiles as he watched the antics of the
Court officials. II forgot to say, Judge
he finally explained, that that letter is
written in Hebrew"
Clerk Larkin's ink bottle Just grazed the
festive Hebrews head, and his Honor
looked very severe.
But I'll tell you what it says" went on
the prisoner. 1T says for me to come
to Chicago and take charge of a bank
there, at salary of $500 week. You

"Oh, that's all right" interrupted the
Court; we'lll have to take your word fol
that. You can go. sir. Good-day Be sure

Young Van Tine Tries a New Role in the
Police Court.
The unusual spectacle of John Van Tine
in Court as complaining witness instead
of defendant. was presented to those who
occupied seats in the dress circle of the Po-
lice Court yesterday.
Yes, John was there to secure the con-
vic;ion of K-street barkeeper who had
bounced John from bis establishment on
Saturday. The complainant stated that
his tjectier was accompanied by smash
in the Jaw and all for no reason what
ever.
The story Of the barkeeper and another
witness, however, differed considerably
from Johns. II was to the effect that the
complainant came into the saloon bent on
mischief lie first accused the m:xclog ST
of allowing flies to accumulate in bis
whisky bottles, but as this did not have the
desired effect, he endeavored 10 shake
down an old man who was mounted on a
step-ladder cleaning windows. The bar
keeper then threw him out, and when
John came back TO demonstrate he was
knocked out into the street by an accurate
lett-bander.
Judge Buckley promptly dismissed the
case

as he had personally waived this right, but
afterward his counsel, C. T. Jones, asked
leave TO withdraw the waiver J. A. Bru-
ner, Deputy District Attorney, consentine
thereto. the same was Withdrawn, and the
defendant was granted jury trial, to take
place this afternoon.
