"Is it hot enough for you?"

10 ~ lipO lOi JbNs
History, sacred or profane, does not
specially state that this was the ques-
tiOn propounded by Lazarous to Dives,
on a certain memorable occasion,
nevertheless if it does not date that
far back, it is of ancient lineage, and
many generations of bond and free,
barbarian and Scythian have been ask
ing that same old question. At least
we know nothing to the contrary.
The question, hitherto, has been re-
dundant so far as Puget sound was
concerned, but it is so no longer, and
for the past two days it was cmlncntly
proper. Age cannot wither nor Gus
tom stale the infinite varieties Of
tones in which the question was
clothed, and replies, if any, were re-
ceiyed.
No, Puget sound hitherto noted the
world over for its equable climate, its
no extremes of heat or cold, yesterday
and the day before broke the record,
and if no very hot weather was ever
know hitherto in this much blessed
section, the mOnOtOny has been re-
lieved, and taste Of the Chilian pep
per variety has been given us.
Days tempered with refreshing
breeze and nights made comfortable
with the aid of pair of blankets, nc
longer obtain, and to quote from a
popular ballad, If sit used TO be tho
Caper, it don't 90 now"
Climate is said to change, and those
who have been living on the shores OF
Bellingham bay for the past two years
will believe that it actually does.
Wednesday evening the sun went
spring people. Thursday morning he
spring people. Up, went the mercury
and up went The sun, and at several
places in the city the thermometer
registered ninety IN the shade.
One gentleman ayerred that his
glass registered 1872 degrees, but it
might have been another kind. An
other remarked that his only indicated
seventy degrees, but there was prob
ably ice in it.
Certainly it was hot enough for any
| DOuD. except lnOSC VI ullt said Uldllutl
| family. Old residents claim that The
past two days the weather has beer
the hottest ever experienced on Puge
| Sound.
However, compared with the swell
| tering East it was as an ice grOttO L
an oven, not heated, however, sever
times hotter that il was wont to b,
| heated, or, as the mountains wild ant
bare, to cool SilOam's shady rill.
Said a Boston man to hot Fair
hayenite as he mOpped his flushet
face with something that once nigh
have been a handkerchief: "DO yOl
call this hot? Why in Boston on
day like this we would be sitting Ol
the sunny side Of the Common bask
ing in the suns rays" And he locke
as cool as his speech.
1t was warm enough though 70
comfort and little more, and lowe
temperature would be appreciated b

yesterday afternoon on Thirteent

LED AWAY BY HIS AvARIoE
An Illinois Man Tries to Rob His
Mother and Gets BadlY Left


LONDON, July 23-At the present
time the English papers are full Of adj
yertisements asking for and Offering
information TO emigrants and others
supposed TO be in the United States
Experience shows that at the first
chance Of there being some plumber to
divide family feud is at once estab-
lished, and all that is despicable and
unnatural in human nature is brought
out. A letter limiting at prospect Of
an inheritance will cause children 20
cOnsplre against their parents. In one
instance man arrived at an agents
Office in the Strand from small town
in Illinois and told the following
story with as much pride as though he
had circumyented Bismarck i'm a dip.
lOmatic duel:
81 was called in by the postmaster, 80
he began, "whO told me there was "A
letter addressed to my mother. ! took
IL home to my wife and we opened and
read it. We learned from it that
mother was entitled to "A share Of "A
large estate in Yorkshire. We de-
cided that the money was no use o.
her, so ! told her nothing, but went %
an attorney and made her deed any
thing she might become worth 60 me,
and in exchange ! gave her $40 and a
pair Of new CTutchcs. Here's the
papers, and now ! want the money,
and I've come over here 20 get it,"
1t is needless to say that the letter
was only very preliminary step o.
obtaining the possession of the inhcr-
itance, and the unnatural son found
himself adrift i'm London without a
cent or friend.

A letter has been received by gen
tleman of this city, from j j. Donovan,
chief engineer of the Fairhaven and
Southern, who is now in the East, in
which he commends the idea OF organ
izing a chamber Of commerce. Fair
haven, he says, is now city, and in
stead Of depending on railroads and
the like, to develop the city, her
citizens should take hold themselves
and unitedly assist in its upbuilding,
and chamber OF commerce, rightly
conducted, would be great factor in
attaining this object. These are
words of wisdom and worthy the con
sideration of every citizen Of Fair
haven.

EDITOR HERALD: An article ap-
peared in yesterdays HERALD signed
''Vox Populi," in which the writer
sought to pose as the mOuthpiece Of
an offended and outraged populacc.

tied individuals who met in "cOnyen-
tion assembled" for the purpose Of
revolutiOnizing the politics OF this
country, and commenced the preamble
OF a long set of resolutions by 1--WE
the people" etc, etc.
If this lonely individual would leave
his deserted" "Old FOgy" place Of
business long enough to come down,
and not only read the sign "Selling
out to leave town." but gaze within at
the thrOng Of good people who heed ~
his "kindly word of warning" and
Boycott the Fakrs," it might have
the effect of lOOscning up his hide
bound intellect sufficiently for
even him to see, that the only
way TO sell goods in these hard times
is to put a price on them that the
people can appreciate, and he would
also see that they prefer our worth
less trash to his own "bOOm priced
goods.
One word as TO the cause Of our
"leaving the town" We came here a
year ago, in good faith. and established
a dry goods business, which until a
short time since has been profitable
and satisfactory.
Since the dullneSsn struck the
country we have by all means endeav.
Ored TO procure cheaper rent TO suit
the times. Our landlord, however
cannot be induced TO see the point
hence we are compelled to pull out.
Hoping this may satisfy the lone
