Baked Streets and Walls.

CHICAGO, July Notwithstanding the
rain the weather here remains oppressively
warm, with only thin and broken clouds to
obscure the sun. The lowest temperature
reached here during the last week was iInlne-
ately after the rainfall, when the government
signal service thermometer marked 68 de-
grees. Next morning it registered 72 and at
9:i5 it marked a. This by no means indi-
Gates the oppressive character of the heat in
the streets, for the government observations
are taken at the top of the lofty auditorium
tower where the thermometer is not subject
to the radiated heat from the pavements and
building walls which have been baking under
the blistering suns and accumulating heat
for the past ten days. There is scarcely a
sign of breeze; the air at ordinary eleva-
tions is close and humid, and perspiration
flows with great freedom upon the slightest
provocation. The Associated Press ther.
mometer at 9:45 a. IN. marked 82'degrees.

How the Money Was Raised.

INDIANAPOLIS. July 1T is notable fact
as indicating the bipartisan nature of the
movement which eliminated in the dedica-
ton of the Hendricks monument, that a
very large proportion of the total amount
subscribed came from republican sources
Mr.. f. c. ]. Pendleton, who had entire
charge of the collection of the funds, who
travelled throughout the United States in
the interest of the memorial, says that in the
city of indianapolis, John c. New, proprietor
of the Journal. and now consul general at
London, was the largest individual sub
scriber. that the republican counties of the
state contributed heavier than the demo-
cratic ones, and that he had the same expert
ence among the senator's and representatives
at Washington. It Il said that of the S4O,-
600, which is the total cost of the enterprise,
over SIS, 600 came from republicans.

The British Census.

LONDON. July 5.--The announcement of
the fact that the law providing for the forth
coming census requires the religious belief
of every individual to be recorded has evoked
strong opposition through the country. By
way of justifying the inquiry the government
papers are reprinting the entire list of ques-
hons propounded by the census enumerators
of the United States. Several of the tory or
gaus have referred to these queries as inquis-
itorial in the extreme, and have asked their
readers how they would feel if they were
compelled to answer them. In view of the
smooth sailing which the United States
enumerators have encountered with such .
list of Quer,es they do not think the peo-
pie in the United Kingdom can find much OBJ
iection to the mere statement of the denom-
ination to which they belong.

Cincinnati Freight Handlers.

CINCINNATI, o., June 5.-The freight hand
lers on all the roads here, except the
Louisville & Nashville, have stopped work
because their demand for an increase in
wages was not Immediately granted. The
railroad managers wanted the men to con-
tinue at work until Saturday and receive
their answer then, but the men quit work
and no freight has been received since 2 p.
m. The demand is for ten hours day, and
that those now receiving $1.35 should be
paid SLIGO per day and those receiving S1.45
should receive $1.75. There were about 500
men involved. The effect on business is
paralysis, except so far as one road and the
express companies can give relief. There is a
general impression that the demand will be
granted, or at least some advance on wages
made.

Infamous Insurance.

LONDON, July "a select committee of
the house of lords is considering the bill in
tro6uced by the Bishop of Peterborough to
prevent the murder of children for the sake
of insurance money. The bill provides that
the money in all cases of death of children in
sured shall be paid only to the undertaken,
and no surplus to the friends or other parties
insuring. This is to prevent parents from
deriving any profit from the death of child.
About 10000 children are insured in Great
Britain every year, and it is believed that
many of these are permitted to die from
criminal neglect, if not directly murdered in
order to gain the insurance.
