It was hot yesterday. This has been a
very hot and sultry week so far, and to-day
the weather prophets say will not show
any improvement until evening, cooler,
perhaps, tomorrow. Yesterday hundreds
took ride to the west shore in an attempt
to get cooled off, and hundreds stayed at
home, the heat being so oppressive. The
ice cream saloons and soda fountain swere
again deluged with patrons. At Shows
last evening for three hours the ice cream
rooms were densely crowded, and other
cream rooms were likewise besieged. The
town pump, 1t was reported last evening,
was going on strike to-day, the pump
handles betraying symptoms of demorali-
zation, owing to the excessive work they
have been subjected to this week. The de-
mands upon the ice carts this week have
been excessive. Altogether it lie a hot week
and the heat seems to be about equally dis
tributed all over the United States.

Late Moses y. Beach of Wallfng.
ford.
A New York dispatch of yesterday gives
the following interesting sketch of Moses
s. Beach, whose father, Moses Y. Beach,
was native of Wallingford, this state, and
died there:
Moses S. Beach, sixty nine, born at
| Springfield, Mass, who was for more than
twenty years either part owner or sole
| proprietor of the Sun, and who sold it to
Its present owners, died on Monday at his
home at Peekskill. He was a son of Moses
Y. Beach, and an elder brother of Alfred
E. Beach proprietor of the Scientific Ameri-
can. The Beaches came from Connecticut.
Moses Y. Beach, the father, was born in
Wallingford in 1900, and died there In
1868. He was a man of active mind, and
made number of inventions. One of
these was the means Of bringing him and
his sons into the newspaper business. 1t
was q rag cutting machine, which after
ward came into general use in paper mills.
In November, 1888, his brother-in-law,
Benjamin n. Day, job printer in this
city. got out q little penny paper to adver-
tise his printing office. He called it the
|
grew to be a real newspaper and used a
lot of white paper. Brother-in-law Beach
supplied that. Then came reverses in the
paper business and Mr.. Beach became a
clerk in Mr.. Days Office. In June, 1898,
Moses Y. Beach bought the Sun for $40,
600, and in October, 1916, he took his two
sons, Moses S. Beach and Alfred E. Beach
into partnership with him. They bought
him out in December, 1S4S, and in
April, 1862, Moses S. Beach became the
sole proprietor of the paper. Archibald
NJ. Morrison, religious enthusiast
agreed to pay 500, 900 for the good will o.
the paper in 1860, and was in possession
of it from that time to January 1, 1862
wien it reverted to Mr.. Beach.
From 1912 until the paper was sold I,
Its present owners it was published in tn
building at the southwest corner of Full
, ton and Nassau streets, where the Com
mercial Advertiser sfterward had it's hom
for many years. That building wa

CANDEE RUBBER SHOP.
Only Part of the Force Had to Stop
Work-Why 1t Happened So.

Only Part of the Force Had to Stop
Work-Whyi 1t Happened So.
During the course of operations yester-
day morning at the L. Candee & Co.'s
rubber manufactory the cement was
found to be inadhesive. This cement is
used in putting the various parts of the
boot or shoe together, and in the manufac-
ture of rubber goods is indispensable. It
being impossible to Immediately manufac-
ture new cement for the days work of such
a large concern, the company decided to
let the boot and shoe makers take days
vacation. A little investigation showed
that late invoice Of benzine, which is q
prime factor in the manufacture of rubber
cement, was shipped in barrels
formerly used for the shipment of
kerosene oil: This negligence on
the part of the shipper caused all the
trouble. The benzine became oily, and
consequently impaired it's oily nature to
the cement, and oil in cement is like solder
without acid. An evening paper stated
yesterday that all the hands were out with
the exception of two or three in the mill
ing room. Inquiry, however, revealed the
fact that only two departments were
obliged to stop work, and these owing to
the cause as stated above. The other de-
partments were kept busily engaged as
usual.

An Accident That Was Not an Acct
dent.

way of one of the boats at Starin dock

DOWN AT sAvIN ROCK.
An Old Residents Views About
Things in General at the West
Shore.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Some of the restaurant and other pro-
prietors of public places at the grove are
disturbed, aud think the enforcement of
the law at the rock too strenuous. They
think the merry 60 round music is not in
furious Sundays. They will last longer,
Sundays. Oh, yes! That's so. They will
last forever. If people can't get any
amusement here on Sunday they won't
come down at all, and the result will be
that we won't be troubled with wornout
| carousals. It isn't matter with us of
losing one days trade, but of almost seven.
There are great many working people
who cannot afford to lose days time to
| bring their families to the shore. It costs
considerable to bring large family to the
shore and back. With large family car
fare is no small item, to say nothing of the
loss of a days pay and the buying
of nick nacks for the children.
They haven't any other time
people want something more at place like
| this than few mouthfuls Of sea air. Chill
dren especially must have variety of some
| sort. In New York city, in the crowded
| tenement house districts on the lower part
of Second avenue or on Delaney, Mulber-
| ry or those other streets there, whole fam
| lilies swarm the streets at night and block
up sidewalk and street. Every little way
there is vender Of watermelons,ic cream
and soda water. Now, New Haven isn't
built that way. The children must stay in
| the house or yard.
If they want to 60 out anywhere Sun
days they are limited to but few places to
| go. They can't hire teams and get varie-
ty in going to different places. Savin Rock
i is the resort for the poor man primarily.
Whatever is done to lessen the attractive
ness of the place is taking so much away
from the few possibilities of enjoyment
that are open to people of small means,
who are obliged to spend the summer in
the city.
The Law and Order league people are
all right. They have the very best inten-
tions, but they haven't got our point of
view. They can amuse themselves with
books or walking Sunday. They don't
find any amusement in my ponies, for in
stance. Most of the people that come
down here, though, are different. Their
amusements are of noisier kind, perhaps;
of different kind at all events. Now,
don't see why Savin Rock shouldn't be
given over largely for the amusement of
these people, who, to say the
least, are not rich, and that
an opportunity of getting the enjoyment
here that they like 30 long, as there is moth
ing in it that is harmful.

Another Blockade on the West Haven

Road.
Electric car No. 81 burned out the wires
of its motor last night near the Union
depot. 1t came to dead standstill. Horses
were put before the electric car, who drew
it to the West Haven stables, where the
difficulty was remedied. Travel was

ties of this sort are likely to happen, cleo
tricians say, until the cars have been run
for some time
