WEATHER RECORDS SMASHED.
Tho Heat Something Terrific Hundred
 of PrOstrations.

Tho Heat Something Torrihc-H Hundreds
 of PrOStrationx.
 NEW YORK, July 27.-It is cooler here this morning than it was yesterday, but excessively warm, nevertheless. Toward evening it is predicted that mild breezes will blow and light showers fall, but there is that lack of confidence about the predictions of those in the Weather Bureau that prohibits any one in the vicinity of New York from indulging in pleasurable anticipations.
 Yesterday was the hottest day on record since Sept ', 1881, when the thermometer registered 100 degrees at o'clock on that date. The hottest 9th of July before the record breaker vest rday was in 1885 when the temperature re he'd 94 degrees.
 At 8 a. m. the thermometers at the United States Weat Ter Bureau on top of the Equitable Built.ing registered S3 de grees against 7S degrees at the same hour Monday, an increase of degrees.
 At o'clock the temperature was SC de- grees, s degrees higher than Monday.
 At 10 o'clock the mercury had climbed 1 degree further, making it S7 degrees against Mondays S2 degrees. It kept on climbing all day and at 3 o'clock the ther- mometers registered from 97 to 99 degrees, breaking all previous records since 1881
 At s o'clock the temperature at Boston, Pttsburg, Chicago, and St. Louis was S2 degrees; at Portland, Me, 76; at Cincin- natl, S0; at New Orleans, A; Albany, Philadelphia and Washington were the hottest places. It was S4 degrees in those cities at o'clock in the morning.
 Many cases of prostration from the heat are reported and several have proved fatal.
 Michael Torphy, laborer, went to the roof of his home during the night to get a breath of air, suddenly became crazed from the heat and fell to the yard fifty feet below and was dashed to death.
 NEwBURG, N. Y, July 27. --- John ONeil, 51 years old, while sleeping near a window on the third story, to get breeze, rolled out. Dangerously injured. An unknown Hungarian was found dead in the woods near this city. Thought to be a case of sunstroke.
 the hottest day of the season, the ther- mometer registering 99 in the shade. To-day the air is humid. Thermometer at noon was S5.
 BALTIMORE, July 27.-At 8 a. m. the Government bureau stated it was S1 de- grees hot. At 9 o'clock the thermometer regist cred 90; at 10 o'clock 92. and at II o'clock 94 was shown. At } o'clock 100 was reached. These figures are five de grees in anvance of Mondays 8 records for the same hours, and the maximum heat then was o. degrees.
 CINCINNATI, July 27.-The weather is slightly cooler than yesterday. The ther- mometer at noon registered 93 at the top of the Government building. Seventeen persons were prostrated by heat yesterday. four of whom died. Several others are in a serious condition.
 PHILADELPHIA, July 27.-The intense heat continues with hardly a breath of air stirring. At II o'clock the mercury stood 94 1-2 in the shade and 100 in the sun at Seventh and Chestnut streets. At } o'clock the glass regestered 9G in the shade

as there is near almost every island city of note.
 Such boat is much less expensive than yacht. Allowing the same length for both the former one will cost from $500 to $500 to construct while the 4O-foot yacht cannot be built for less than s3,O00 and perhaps not for much under $5 ,OO0. In the houseboat the cabin should be 12x15 feet, allowing for pretty windows at the side and doors opening upon the deck. Several staterooms should be arranged on either side, each e16x5 feet, room enough for an upper and lower folding berth.
 At the aft end, to which a passage leads on either side of the cabin, is the kitchen. Then above it all arrange for hurricane deck, thirty feet long by twelve feet wide, and you have a house. boat arranged with every detail that can add to comfort as far as the gen. eral plan is concerned. The furnish ings can be as rich or as plain as your 1nclinations or your purse will permit. One thing that should never be for gotten in the equipment is the double set of anchors. As a rule the boat should be anchored bow and stern, so that she is securely guarded against a heavy wind Manila rope is suggested for mooring or possibly galvanized chain cable. Have little dory ready for emergencies. They are extremely safe even when loaded down with a cargo. Then fitted out with a sprit-sail and centerboard they will give occasion for many pleasant sail in good stiff breeze, and save on other occasions the trouble of rowing. The question of moving the houseboat is one not so readily solved. On the river, where the current is strong, there need be no trouble, but on quiet waters where propulsion of some kind is necessary it is, perhaps, best to be fitted out with sails that can be adjusted to four or six masts, and when the breeze is favor able you will find the boat moving along quietly, smoothly and without danger. Even with four hundred and thirty-two square feet of sail there need be no fear of capsizing in n squall, for by having the ropes in perfect control time.
 There are several ways of building the float on which the house rests. As a rule 1t is advisable to give it to ship or scow builder, even though the ex- pense be a little greater than that charged by the carpenter who will build the upper part of the outfit for you.
 The boat, scow, house, dory and me- chanical outfit need not cost you more than five hundred dollars, and possibly you can contract to have the work done for three hundred dollars

THE case of Private Iams of the Penn sylvania National Guard, who was sub- jected to brutal treatment by Lieu tenant Colonel Streator and drummed out of camp, is attracting widespread attention, and it is the general opinion that the officer is guilty of a far greater crime than that for which the unfortu- nate Iams was punished. We profess ignorance of the military laws of Penn sylvania, but if the statutes allow com manding officers to inflict savage torture upon the men in their charge, without even a drum head court mar tial, it IS time the people rose in their might and demanded a change. Pri- vate Iams committed a serious offense and deserved punishment, but it is the opinion of men of reason that day or two in the guard house on bread and water, followed by dishonorable dis charge, would have met the exigency of the case. As the matter stands Iams has the sympathy of the country. The action of Colonel Strcator is more of a disgrace to the National Guard than was the private's incendiary remarks.

equal in cost. With a good engineer the danger is practically infnitesimal in either the naphtha, the petroleum or the kerosene launches.
 A forty-foot naphtha launch with a draught twenty-six inches, fitted out with a neat cabin, and finely uphol- cred, will cost all the way from S1, 800 to e2, ,500.
 In the line of smaller sailing craft found the prices very reasonable. There is combination row and sailboat, really a catboat, which can be had all the way from $50 to $20O. The latter is nineteen feet in length and can seat nine per sons. It is supplied with rudder, .tiller, yoke, foot-stretcher, back-rests, anchor and rope, brass swivel rowlocks, stem and stern protectors, is nicely var nished and polished and finished in col ored wood.
 The full cat-rigged sailboat with open cockpit centerboard, sixteen feet long and holding four persons, is worth with sail $25O. From this the prices range up to $500 for boats twenty-two feet in length and with a capacity for ten persons.
 In sloop-rigged boats, with jib and mainsail, the 25-footer will cost $500 and the 3O-footer S1 200.
 One of the prettiest cabin catboats in New York is the Gunhilda, built for MT. B. S. Jewett, which Is valued at S1,- 500. Thomas T. Taber's new cabin cat boat Is built on the same general plan, and both are entered in some of the best regattas of the year.
 To show the interest all over the country in speedy sailing yachts I am told that the Herreschoffs a week or so ago sent rout 17-foot fin keel to Au- burn, 16-foot cat yawl to Lake Mime tonka, Minn., the fourth to be sent there this season, and a 23-foot cat yawl to Conanticut park. They, of course, receive higher prices for all their work than those quoted above. In fact, for such boat as the Wasp SIP, ,0oO is considered cheap. But was shown a number of newly-designed yachts in South Brooklyn, all of which, while cheaper in price, seemed to all appearances as serviceable. One, a 25-foot boat, launched only week or two ago, is built on the lines of the Gloriana. Her dimensions are 23 feet on the water-line and 40 feet over all. The frame is of oak, with yellow pine planking. She is finished in mahogany, and will be yawl-rigged with small jib aft, as she is intended for cruising. understand that she is sold for g, 500.
 Ogden Goelet, who owns the schooner yacht Norseman, is cheerfully paying out S3, 900 a month now for the steam yacht Thetis. As she is steel vessel of 511 tons and IF feet in length, Mir. Goelet will be able to entertain his friends lavishly, and with no end of comfort.
 The so-called houseboat is coming into deserved popularity. About New York there is a vast area of water available for the quiet of houseboat life,

SAY SHE IS INSANE
Experts Testify in Alice, Nit
 chell's Trial.
DR. cALLENDoR ON THE STAND

He Was On" of the Physicians Who
 Will Attempt to Rebut the Testi-
 mony "f the Experts To-day.
 MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 27.-The State was Knocked out" yesterday by the tes timony of experts in the Alice Mitchell case. The first witness, Dr. Sale, Presi dent of the Mississippi Medical Associa- tion, testified that he had examined Miss Mitchell no longer ago than last Sunday, and from his conversation with and obser- vation of the subject he thought she was insane.
 Dr. J. H. Callendor, of Nashville, Medi- cal Superintendent of the Central Insane Asylum, and holder of the chair of Physi- ology and Brain Diseases in the Wander bilt University, was the next to take the stand. As Dr. Callendor was one of the physicians who acted as medical experts in the Guiteau case, his testimony was eagerly listened to by all of the lawyers and jurymen.
 He said that insanity might not be in herited, but the insane temperament could be passed from mother to child or from father to child. This temperament is more likely to be inherited from the mother than the father. The first fact that impressed him in a contemplation of this case was that Alice probably inherit ed her insane temperament from her mother. Being of an insane temperament, it is not surprising that on meeting Freda the love she had for Freda developed into an ardent passion.
 He then stated that he thought she was insane. but indicated how she might be cured. The witness thought she was a subject for medical treatment in some asylum.
 Dr. Campbell, superintendent of the Eastern Asylum for the Insane at Knox vile, had been summoned by the State, but he was placed on the stand by the de- fense, and he gave it out freely that he thought Alice was insane. Here the de fenSe rested.
 To-day the State begins the task of at tempting to counteract the expert testi- mony, but the opinion prevails that the case is already won by the lawyers for the defense.

the sloop and from the schooner to tho massive steam yacht fitted out in the style of palatial ocean passenger steamer. But to note the extent of this splendid sport one has but to look over the long list of New York yachts built by the Herreschoffs or in the Burgess yards, or to take look at the magnif1- cent proportions of the Wasp, the Glori- ana, the Pyxie, Fl Chico, the Hansell, the Fancy, the Hawk, all vessels of late designing, or at the Ava, the Conquer or, the Nourmahal, steam yachts that cost all the way from s15O,oOo to $4oo,- 900, the price at which the Vanderbilt craft, the Ava, is held; or perhaps to skim along the sound on the decks of that calm-water speeder, the Norwood.
 It is an expensive sport; perhaps as expensive as 0 stable of horses, and often as full of bitter disappointments. I had occasion recently to visit one of these ship-renting firms and the prices quoted me meant in almost every in- stance a neat annual income. quote the prices and arrangements offered me verbatim:
 ''We will charter you a 40-foot steam yacht, no staterooms- an open boat, you know, for S2s a day, or, if taken by the month, at $500. You furnish the fuel, we the captain and en- gineer. Or we can charter you 75- foot pleasure yacht, with three or four staterooms, for $1 ,50O month, we supplying the crew and you grub it. |"
 And what is the expense of fuel and grub?"
 That depends. You ought to figure on $1,ooO a month anyway for extras and incidentals."
 "What can you charter the Ava for2" "Well, don't know that she can be chartered. But can get you a 12O-foot steam yacht, every bit as comfortable and enjoyable, for SS, 900 a month. Your expenses in this case would be s2,OOO a month extra. I can charter you a schooner yacht, complete, for s1 200 a month, or a sloop for $20 day. But perhaps the wisest thing to do if you want seasons sport is to buy steam yacht, a schooner or a sloop, and sell it for whatever it will bring at the end of the season. You can expend S5, 1000 and get splendid pleasure craft, or go as high as $2O,OOO, and get neatly out fitted 75-foot steam yacht"
 But after all there is splendid sport in good launch and the cost is compare

 When James NJ. Waterbury chartered the Nourmahal, the Astor yacht, he agreed to return the vessel in the condi- ton in which it was received. But the Nourmahal has been in collision with the steamer Maine and the little bill for repairs will be close to &S,000. Add to this the 8, 900 monthly rental, the S2,- 900 monthly expense bill, and MT. Wat erbury's summer outing will come high, exceedingly high.
 But the man who willingly spent s1O,- 900 on an amateur circus won't mind it in the least. He will entertain his friends as lavishly as ever, and if in- clined charter the yacht for another season.
 No summer sport is relished with so much zeal as that which an outing on the water affords. Pass through the Narrows of New York harbor to the outer bay and you cross the wakes of a thousand pleasure boats of all sizes and descriptions, from the smallest yawl to

SOME ignorant or malicious person started the report that the Worlds fair is bankrupt; that it had drawn it's last cent and used its last postage stamp. And this false report has been published in hundreds and probably thousands of newspapers. It IS still spreading, and naturally is doing the fair harm. The fact is that the exposition has now $2,- 300, 900 cash in bank and about a million more in sight. It has not had, at any time for a year and a half, less than a million dollars to it's credit in cash, and has had as much as $S,OOO,OOO at one time. During the last six months the money has necessarily been expended rapidly for constructing the great ex- position buildings. About three quarters of million month has been paid out for this purpose. A like ex- penditure will be necessary for several months to come, and more money will be needed by October. The bulk of the receipts of the fair from admissions, etc, will not begin to come in, of course, until the fair opens. It IS in order to tide the enterprise over until that time that the government has been asked to advance $5,OOO,OOO. The most conserva- tive estimate of the fairs receipts and expenditures places the former about $4 ,O00, ,OO0 in excess of the latter. There need be not the slightest fear of the fair being bankrupt.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

IN a dispatch from Pittsburg It is stated that the leading republicans of the state "are frightened out of their boots" by the situation at Homestead. The spectacle of the organization of democratic clubs by workingmen who have hitherto voted the republican ticket, and the appalling consequence of lower ing wages on the eve of presidential struggle have rendered them desperate. Taking advantage of these conditions, "Chris" Magee has sent out an appeal to the principal manufacturers to hold Allegheny in line for the republican party. He agrees not to fry any fat out of them, provided they consent to put off until next winter any general lock out of their employees.
