HISTORIC HOT SPELLS.

In 1903 and 1904 the Rhine, Loire and
Seine ran dry.
1t seemed as If New York was on fire in
1853. The thermometer ranged from 80
to 81 degrees for five or six days. During
the week PA persons were killed In h a
city of sunstroke.
In France In 17lS many shops had to
close. The theatres did not open their
doors for three months. Not a drop OF
water fell during six months. In 1T73
the thermometer rose to 11S degrees.
The heat in several of the French prov
inces during the summer OF lIO5 was
equal 10 that of a glass furnace. Meat
could be prepared for the table merely by
exposing it TO the sun. Not a soul dare
venture out between noon and 4 p. IN.
In 1900 Spain was visited by a swelter-
ing temperature that is described as fear
full. Madrid and other cities were de-
serted and the streets silent. Laborers
died in the fields, u the vines were
scorched and blasted as If by a simeon.
The year 1872 was a fearful one III New
York. One hundred and hfty-ive cases of
sunstroke occurred on July A, of which
seyenty-two proved fatal. The principal
thoroughfares were like fields OF battle.
Men fell by the score, aad ambulauces
were in constant requ fsition.
10 ITS the heat OF Bologna was so great
that numbers of people were stified. In
July, 1898, the heat agai n became intoler-
able Vegetables were burned up and
fruit died on the trees. The furniture and
woodwork in dwelling houses cracked and
split and meat went bad in an hour
A disastrous hot wave swept through
Europe in June, 1851. The thermometer
in Hyde Park, Loudon. indicated from
niuety to n~inety-four degrees in the shade.
In the Champs des Mars. during a re-
view, soldiers by the score fell victims to
sunstroke. and at Aldershot, England,
men dropped dead while at drill.
In July, 1876, intense heat began tc
make its power felt throughout the Mid
die aud Southern States. In Washington
the heat was frightful. General Sher.
man declares that the car rails became SC

That old. well roasted but perhaps
still toothsome chestnut of the woman
who was cured of faith by blindness
-or was it cured of blindness by
faith?-has again been sprung upon
an unsuspecting and long suffering
public. One of the fake papers
worked it over yesterday and all the
other fakirs snapped it up last night.
Why don't they save trouble all
around by having it stereotyped? 1t
viii be just as good.
And, by the way, what has become
of its companion piece, the romance
of the white butterfly that ''hovered
above the head' of the most charm
ing and interesting patient" that fell
under the treatment of lone of our
noted p~hysicians2"
That cheerful romance only did
service for three consecutive years,
and it is a pity it should have been
shelyed SO soon. Can't the fakirs
resurrect it Just once more?

Oh how comical that interview with
Mr.. Bill Hogencamp in yesterdays
journal was. 1t set the Echoes and
the Babies" laughing, as Joe Noonan
would say.
Who is Mr.. Bill Hogencamp?
Oh, he is the President of the Second
National Bank.
And what was he interviewed
about2
About the city sinking fund.
And what does Mr.. Bill Hogencamp
know about the sinking fund?
He knows how much cash it has on
hand, he does.
Pray, how does he come to know
that2
Because it is all on deposit in his
little bank.
Does he like to have it on deposit
there?
oh, yes, indeed he does. He likes it
clean down to the sub-cellar.
Why does he like it SO much
Because he turns 1t over every once
in a while to the tune of six per cent
And does he give the six per cent to
the city which owns the money?
Not likely. MI. Bill Hogenca mp is
far too smart for that.
WHAT does he do with it then
He charges it up on the profit side
OF his little banks ledger.
TheI what does the city get2
Oh, the city gets-left.
Did Mr.. Bill Hagencamp like to be
interviewed ON the sinking fund
question?
No, eirree; he didn't like it worth a
cent.
What did he say about itf
He said it was altogether a private
affair with which the nasty, greedy
taxpayers and the meddlesome
Finance Board had no right to inter
fere.
Then did the Journal interview
him real hard, and make things dis
agreeable for him?
No, that is not the Journals style.
The interview was conducted in the
old ladylike way, which that relic Of a
newspaper always adopts towards
wealthy and respectable" people.
Well, what does THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS think of the whole business2
1t thinks the system of giving the
banks the use of the city's money
without interest is nothing better
than q clean steal.

UNDER MANY NAMES.
Stoddard Seems TO Have Fleeced
Every One lie Net.

Chief Murphy has been receiving daily
letters from all parts Of the country Civ
ing additional facts in the career of Ed
attempted to swindle the Pittsheld.
Mass, National Bank by means OF a
forged telegram. The Chief sent Stod-
dard's photograph and description to the
various police officials throughout the
country. and has learned that under the
aliases OF Woods, Wolf, Hamilton, Allen
Duncan and several other names. ne has
committed crimes 10 all sections of the
East. He originally came from Chicopee,
Mass.
Arentleman called on Chief Murphy
last evening aud said that Stoddard was
at Que time a Sunday school teacher in
Chicopee; that he Was then considered "A
devout and brilliant man. During But
ler's ii st campaign for Governor OF Mas
sachusetts. Stoddard was one OF his
staunchest supporters. He was entrust-
ed with tile Butler funds which were TO
be used on election day In Chicopee. but
on the morning OF that day he n tue
funds disappeared.
Yesterday Sheriff L. B. Kilbie of Elling-
ington. Conn, called upon Chief Murphy
aud told him he recognized Stoddard as
the man who, under the name of James
Allen, was on July 2 arrested by Captain
Candy OF Rockville, Conn. for uttering
two forged checks in that town. Due fOf
$50 was passed on John Ryan OF the
Rockville House. and the other for $50 on
a clothing house. Both checks were on
the New Britain National Bank. The
sheriff said Stoddard also uttered forged
checks in Stainsbury, Soutnington and
Hartford, using the name OF Robert
Walker Rockville.
STILL THE REC0GSITIONS.
The police Of Newburgh recognize
Stoddard as the man who. under the
name OF James Mcdonald. attempted to
pass a check in that city, representing
himself to be a member of the masonic
fraternity, which was false. Stoddard
wore a masonic pin when arrested In this
city.
Chief Murphy Gays he expects to prove
that Stoddard served a term in the ILL
nois State Prison at Jolieth, aud another
term In TENNESSEE. Chief Murphy has
also received a letter from the executor of
the estate Of the Chicopee contractor
whose son Stoddard led astray. When
Stoddnrd was in prison at Talon, Conn.,,
he wrote to the mother Of the young man.
who had fed to England some eikhteen
years before, praying her to
ret him out and promising to reform;
The mother secured bail for him and had
him taken TO Canada, where he escaped.
The executor says that they now have
proof that the prodical son never left
England since he went there eighteen
years ago. This, however, does not agree
with his statement to Chief Murphy,
that the checks found on Stoddard were
written BY the sou In question. Stoddard
also told the Chief that the sou had writ
ten them.
Stoddard is wanted In Bristol, Conn.
where he obtained q quantity OF jewellery
by means Of a forged check.

There is an amusing story as to how
an Englishman who vas visiting this
country at the time of the Aston Will
ing wedding managed to get his
name in the papers as one OF h
guests.
1t seems, says the Chicago NeUs, the
Englishman made his headquarters
in New York, where he Is pretty well
known. and enjoys the company of "A
few chosen friends upon his stated Wis
its to this country. He happened to
be in the metropolis at the time the
wedding was talked about, and joking
ly said that he had received an invita-
ton. His acquaintance looked at him
in blank aInazement. Not one of their
set had been invited to the ceremony,
and they secretly wondered now on
earth the Englishman had managed
it. Curiosity finally predominated,
and after considerable hesitation the
question was put point blank. when
the Englishman laughingly said it
was q Joke, But said he, I'M bet
any one here that / can go over to
Philadelphia as one of the guests
The bet was taken with consider
able odds in the Englishman's favor.
Several DAYS before the swell cere-
mony occurred the Londoner secretly
ascertained where the Astors would
stop when in the city. Accordingly
he went over and selected a suite of
the best rooms obtainable at the
same hotel, and when the we'd
ding guests began to arrive
he came with the crowd, ac-
companied by a valet and a goodly
amount of luggage. He was at once
set down as an Astor guest, and his
English manners and accent, which
were closely observed, were greatly in
his favor. When the reporter came
around to get the list OF names the
Englishman took special pains to see
that his name was printed correctly,
and, although he new went near the
wedding, he had the cheek to return
to New York and claim his bet.
All the evidence was in his favor,
for both Philadelphia and New York
journals gave publicity to his name,
and his friends to this day do not
know that they were shamefully
duped.

The Elizabeth journal has made
the remarkable discovery that City
Treasurer Cleveland is unable to tell
what has become of Jersey City's
Sinking Fund. That's a state of
affairs, truly. The fact is that Treas
urer Cleveland was called upon by
the Board Of Finance for a report
of the city's finances in a speci-
fed form and he declined to Civ g
it, saying that it was the duty of
Comptroller Hough TO furnish such
a report as was demanded The
Comptroller said it wasn't, and that
is all there is about it.
The muddle is to be regretted. since
it seems to have given the Republican
Ananiases a chance TO exercise their
invention, but the cash is all right.
There is no trouble on that score.
