New York People Shout Praise
and Thanksgiving.
NEW YORK. Aug. 12.-The prayers of
a city full seem to have been answered.
The fulfillment was deferred through
three days of awufl heat, and conse-
quent suffering. but tonight men who
seldom think of God in times of even
temperatures, are uttering fervent
thanksgivings. And the painting moth
ers of sickening children are lifting up
their faces to gusty sky, and the
pTaiSe of their hearts to the Maker of
All.
Although the morning opened in this
city with temperature OF Is deg, with
S4 per cent of humidity. the presence of
four-mile breeze made the heat en-
durable. BY II O'Clock the temperature
rose to S3 deg, while the humidity only
fell to Is per cent; but the pleasant
breeze continued, and perspiring pedes-
trianS felt the heat less than Oh Monday
and yesterday, although the humidity
was the highest experienced this week.
Rain fell later, and during the after
noon the edge Of the cool wave from
the West commenced cutting its well
come way through the Steaming atmOS-
pnere. Tonight the freshening breeze
is bringing wiIted humanity back to
WOnted life. AS the cool wave appeared
to the expert view of the chief observer
over the western horizon, the warm
wave was tottering to the grave in the
deeps of the Atlantic. This was its last
day on earth. Up to 2 o'clock the
weather had been from six to
eight degrees less than yeSter-
day. At noon it still stood

At s o'clock the temperature in other
cities was: Boston so, Philadelphia rs,
Washington rs, Chicago 64, st. Louis

temperature in the country was 94 deg
at Jupiter, Fla, and at Galveston, Tex.
The lowest was 4S deg, at Fort AsSina-
boine, Mont, but during the night the
mercury went down to SO deg at Mime
dosa, Man., and in La Crosse and around
Lake Michigan the temperature during
the night was 80 deg. There were not
so many cases of sunStrOke. insolatiOn
and heat exhaustion reported, though
the hospitals, dispensaries and physi-
clans of the city have been very busy
to-day in the treatment of cases of ill
ness due to the continued heat.
At Chambers street hospital there
were no less than $50 dispensary cases,
which is 100 more than the average of
the institution. Many mothers carried
moaning babes, tiny sufferers from
summer complaint. prickly heat, fevers
and the like, brought on by the terrific
heat of the past three days, and there
will be great mortality among the little
children for days to come as the result
of the hot waves visit to the city.
Deaths from the heat to-day are princi-
pally cases that were taken down within
the past few days.
In the twenty-four hours ending at
midnight there were twelve cases of

SAN ANTOINE, Tex, Aug. 12.-Ad-
vices from many points in the states of
Durango and chihuahua, Mexico. are
condensed into water scarce, poor crops
and no money. In all that portion of
the republic, good cotton crop has
been made in but one settlement, and
this is the colony of Tithualilo, i'll which
President Diaz and one of his ex- min
listers are personally interested. These
people have obtained water from the
river, thereby depriving the planters of
the Laguna district and their hundre DIS
of dependents. Corn in Durango is
selling at $3.50 per venega of 16S pounds.
A deputation of citizens visited the
Cityof Mexico to induce the government
to remove the duty on American prod
uce, but met with no success. Many of
the poorer classes of Durango are desti-
tute, and their needs have converted
them into very dangerous charac tiers.
