FRUSTRATED BY HEAT.

Several Men Succumb to Yesterday
Warm Weather-NIillmen Refuse to Go
TO Work-The Outlook for Still Warmer
Weather Is All but Encouraging.
"How's the thermometer, was the ques-
tion of the day yesterday when two or more
persons met and talked about the 'tscorching
hot" weather. The weather mans answer
was that the quicksilver In his tube had run
up to SO, marking the hottest day of the year,
and that if it did not stop its upward voyage
the month of June would break Its record for
heat. Yesterday the thermometer marked 81,
and degrees at that point is equal to good
many IN its effect when lower. The average
general daily maximum for June for IL years
has been S2o and up to date the average for the
same time is far above all precedents
The mill and glass men suffered intensely
yesterday, and numerous cases of prostration
are reported.
George c. Briceley a steel worker in McKees-
port, died from the effects of prostration from
heat and Jos. Povorski, laborer. in the
National Tube Works at the same place. was
also prostrated. All over the city men were
forced to quit their work from fear of being
struck down by the heat.
The puddlers and 13-inch mill employees on
the night turn of the Republic Iron Works.
Southslde. did not go to work last night, and
numbers of men from the other mills preferred
to stay at home and fan themselves to working
over hot iron. The workers in the mills near
the river suffered most. The men in the mills
on the hillside Jared better; as they caught
what little breeze was going.
- The glass men say that if yesterdays weather
is any indicator of that to follow, il will be
lucky thing that the manufacturers decided to
close earlier, and if they hadn't the result
would be the same.
Michael McGinty, better known as "Irish
Pat" an employe in the Welding department
of the Pennsylvania Tube Works, was pros
trated while at work yesterday from the COM
bined effects of the hot weather and drinking
ice water.
The puddlers at Shoenberger's and Clark's
mills did not 60 to work last night on account
of the heat.
Phillip Hoffman, little boy attending at
Howard School, Sixteenth ward. was overcome
by heat yesterday at the noon recess.

HASTINGS IN THE CITY.

He Hns n Pleasant Time and Discusses
Everything but Politics.
Adjutant General Daniel H. Hastings and
Lawrence L. Brown, of Bellefonte, arrived at
the Hotel Anderson late Tuesday night. Yes
terday General Hastings called at the City
Hall and had a talk with Treasurer Denniston
concerning the arrangements for the military
exhibit to be given on June n for the benefit
of the West Penn Hospital. General Hastings
has promised to be present on that occasion,
and all signs indicate a successful affair. In
the afternoon the General met Major Mon
tooth. and the two candidates had pleasant
chat. They discussed the weather, the latest
STYLE in spring bonnets. the price of petroleum,
the value of town lots in Bellefonte andSPitts-
burg and other subjects of light and en-
eagipe nature Those who were present say
that the only reference made to politics was the
casual remarks which one of the gentlemen
made TO the other that he had heard that SEN
ator Delamater. of Meadville. intended to be a
candidate for the Gubernatorial nomination.
The remainder of the day was spent by Gen.
eral Hastings in walking about the streets,
keeping carefully on the shady side. and call
ing on a number of friends. He spent little
time at the hotel and many cards were carried
up to his room in vain.
It was rumored that a conference was held
last night between General Hastings and a
number Of the friends of Major Montooth.
The General was seen Just before he retired
for the night, and he said that he had attended
no meeting and knew of none. He will re-
main in the city during the greater part of to-
day

INTO SCHENLEY PARK.

The First Driveway to Mount Airy TO be
Opened Saturday - siguboards to be
Placed on Fifth Avcnue and Forbes
Street-How TO Get There.
"You will be able to drive into Schenley
Park by next Saturday." said Chief Bigelow
of the Department of Public Works yester-
day. I'VE are progressing so rapidly with
the work that we will have road into the
grounds open by that time. 1t will be nothing
but a common clay road. but we will macadem-
ize it as soon as we can."
Last Sunday drove up into the park and
the drive was delightful. The road we will
have open on Saturday will be from this end,
about the foot of Oakland avenue or Boquet
street. Persons wishing TO drive out on Satur-
day Sunday can go out Fifth avenue or
Forbes street to either of the above named
streets and turn down. From Boquet street or
Oakland avenue one can drive down Joncaire
street. across the Junction railroad track and
up a road running along side the park.
The road runs up to the summit of the hill
and delightful view of the surrounding coun-
try can be had. There are several houses along
the road, where one can stop and secure
drink of ice cold-water. No. nothing else
will be allowed on the ground and any attempt
to open original package house will result
In trouble for somebody and 1t won't be me.
We have had several applications for parties
wanting to hold picnics in panther's hollow.
1t used to be a favorite picnic ground for small
parties some years ago. The natural beauties
of the glen make it romantic spot and one in
which people like to linger.
Another thing L propose TO do at once is to
scatter sign boards along Fifth avenue and
Forbes street, showing the various entrances
to the park. One of these will probably be at
the Oakland avenue power house. another at
the corner of Boquet street. upon which the
Oakland NJ. E. Church stands, and another at
the corner of Bellefield avenue, where the
main entrance is to be located. As it is now
many people go out to Oakland on Sundays
looking for the park and do not know how to
get to it, This trouble will soon be remedied."

The Iden In InventIug the RoIian

Was to make an instrument that person
could play without the years of practice
made necessary by the use of the piano,
and to have it in no way mechanical, but
capable of delicate shadings of tempo and
expression at will OF the performer. The
Eolian is an embodiment of this idea, and
upon it, with one weeks practice, person
of no musical education can become fine
performer. The great feature of the in
strument is the high class of music it per-
forms. The catalogue embraces nearly
5000 pieces, including the symphonies,
operas and overtures of all the great masters.
The rendition OF these pieces is wonderfully
accurate, and this seems to make the EoIian
a wonderful educator for both old and
young. The many thousands having musi-
cal taste and innate ability, but who are
unable to give the years OF practice neces-
sary to enable them to perform with the ac-
curacy demanded by their correct ear and
cultivated taste, are, with the Eolian, able
to crafty their love of music. Call
at Mellor & Hoene's, II Fifth avenue,
general wholesale and retail agents for the
Hardman. Krakauer and other celebrated
makes of pianos, and see this wonderful

A FRIEND TO CHILDREN.

The western Pennsylvania Aid Society TO
Meet TO-Dny-Great Demand by Child.
less People for Little WaIf,-Work Of
the Organization.
The Western Pennsylvania Children'sA
Society will hold its annual meeting to-day
in the Dispensary building on Sixth avenue.
This will be really the first annual meeting
OF the society held. The meeting last wear was
postponed on account of the Johnstown flood.
For time before its organization the work
done by the society was performed by ladies
who were delegated by the Philadelphia So
e1ety. One day their services we're suddenly
dispensed with, and the work was discontinued.
ne ladles getting no satisfactory EXPLANATION
from their Philadelphia sisters turned in and
formed society of their own.
Ihe district comprises nine counties and ~
ports from each one will be made TODAY The
Board OF Managers met yesterday and made
arrangements for the election TODAY. The re-.
port OF the treasurer was also read. The pres
ent officers are: Mrs. Archie AIstou Prssi
dent; Mrs. Fl. Q. Campbell. Secretary; Mrs. w.
z. Price, Treasurer; Mrs. Parker Blood V1ca
President. About 40 delegates are expected.
and number OF ladies arrived last evening
and registered at the Seventh Avenue Hotel.
Mrs. Blood, in speaking of the work of the
society, said: II am unable at present to give
any general figures as TO what was done last
year. Allegheny, of course, will come to the
front with the largest number of children
cared for, and the other counties will follow in
the rear. The object of this society is to pro-
vide home for homeless children. We have
no objection to orphan asylums, but we think
that the children reared in homes grow up to
1eel that they are not paupers as they
do in the large institutions. There are
more demands for children from childless peo-
pie than the society can supply. There is an
element Of selfishnesS as well as charity in all
this People feel that they must have some
thing to love. 1 remember at the time of the
JO10StOWn hOn1
were made for waits. Some of them were gen.
timely pathetic. A widow In Florida who was
in poor circumstances and had four children 70
keep, wrote to us that she could care for an
other. This is only sample of the letters re-
ceiYed. We feel that the society is doing
great work."

ceived cheering news from several sources. and
considered his Gubernatorial candidacy to be
in excellent shape. Not only had the 16 dele
gates from Allegheny county been instructed
for him, but he had received word that five of
the Philadelphia delegation would vote for him
on the first ballot. The same number of Phila-
delphia delegates will probably vote for Della
mater. While the published lists give Major
Montooth only 20 to q delegates he expects to
have about 40 on the start.
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the local
Montooth committee was held at the office of
Captain Bachelor. The reports turned in by
various members of the committee indicate
that about $50 Montooth boomers will go to
Harrisburg from this county. Prof. j. P. An
drews was commissioned to go to Harrisburg
and engage the headquarters for the delega-
tion. He left for the State capital last even
ing.
1t was reliably stated yesterday that Coun-
Gilman Charles W. Simon, who defeated Ar
thur Kennedy for State delegate in the First
Legislative district. will not attend the conven-
tion but will give his proxy to ex-City Attor-
ney William B. Rodgers.

THIRTY BOSSES AT WORK.
Master Timers Taking the Places of str,LInr
Jourueymeu,

Master Timers Taking the Places of Striking
Journeymen.
Yesterday no less than % master timers went
to work on the roof Of Joseph Horne Co IS
wholesale house. IN Wood street. It was
novel sight to see the bosses in boiled SHIRTS
putting down" tin with the thermometer At
s0o in the shade. Some of them were not used
to it. and about o'clock several began to look
for shady spots for a rest. The boss in charge
of the gang, William Follansbee. had his own
time keepinglhis men at work.
1t was admitted by two of the master timers
that it is the intention to get their men together
and do all urgent cases, thus removing the
pressure of the strike from them. The iourney-
men laugh at this idea for two reasons In the
hrst place they claim there are not more than
half dozen master timers who can endure
steady work on the roofs and besides If tbey
could the other trades will not work with them
1t is very likely that the carpenters and
plumbers will refuse to- finish the Horne
building after the tlnners are through. A new
conference Committee will be appointed to-
morrow night by the master timers. and the
difficulty may be settled early next week.

NO CAR FAMINE THIS YEAR.
Chairman Blanchard Chats About the
Freight Business.

Chairman Blanchard Chats About the
Freight Business.
Chairman George r. Blanchard, of the Gen.
trail Traffic Association. passed through the
city last evening the limited bound for
Chicago. Mr.. Blanchard states that
the volume of freight business is
not up to what it was few months ago He
saws such strong movement could not be
maintained forever. As result and on ac-
count of the number OF cars built in the past
year, Mr.. Blanchard does not fear a car famine
this season. He thinks the various car associa-
tions are doing good work.
In the matter of advancing lake differentials
Mr.. Blanchard says it is not fair to discriminate
against Pittsburg. He complimented the local
Freight Committee, and thought they would
finally adjusoeverything.
Speaking of the movement in Nebraska to
fix the maximum and minimum rates in the
State, he said that every man who fails in bust
ness is always ready to jump on a railroad to
help him out In this case it is the poverty
stricken farmer who complains that the rates
charged on his grain are too high.
While in the East Mr.. Blanchard attended
several meetings in New York, and appeared
before the Interstate Commission at Wash
ington.

The Trouble n Man Had to GET In Where
Many Desire to Get Ont.
Shortly after the hearing at the Central sta
tion was over yesterday morning a man giving
his name as William Brown, his home 205 Bed
ford avenue and his occupation peddler, en-
tered the station and asked Sergeant Meyers to
send him to jail Mr.. Brown stated that he
had been drinking and wanted to go to Jail to
recover from the effects. Sergeant Meyers in
formed the man that he had no authority to
send him to Jail and directed him to go up and
consult Judge Gripp.
Mr.. Brown departed, and in Is minutes re-
turned with a commitment which consigned
him to Jail for five days. The Sergeant then
informed the eccentric individual that there
was one present who could take him to jail
and Dade him go up himself. This advice Mr..
Brown took, and on the way up Diamond alley
he became thirsty and offered to sell the COM
mitment to a pedestrian for 25 cents This
offer was. of course refused, and Mr.. Brown
proceeded on his way. and at the Jail handed
the commitment to Deputy Warden Soffel and
was consigned TO a cell for five days.
