New York Had I55 Cases OF Sunstroke In
One Day Away Back In 17re.

| New York Had I55 Cases OF Sunstroke In
| One Day Away Back In I7sa.
In 1903 the Rhine, Loire, and Seine
ran dry.
1t seemed as if New York was on
fire in 1853. During the week 2l4
people were killed in that city by
sunstrOke.
In France, in Ills, many shops had
to close. The theaters did not open
their doors for three months Not a
a drop ofwater fell during six months.
In 1918 the thermometer rose to Ils
degrees.
In several Of the French provinces
during the summer of 1905 meat
could be prepared for the table merely
by exposing it to the sun. Not a soul
! dare venture out between noon and
p. m.
In 1909, Spain was visited by a
sweltering temperature that is de-
scribed as fearful Madrid and other
cities were deserted and the streets
silent. LabOrers died in the fields,
and the vines were schorched and
blasted as if by simeon.
The year 1772 was fearful one in
New York. One hundred and fifty
five cases of sunstroke occurred on
July 4, Of which seVenty-two proved
fatal.
In ITS the heat of Bologna was so
great that numbers of people we're
stifled. In July, 1898, the heat again
became intolerable. Vegetables were
burned up and fruit dried on the
trees. The furniture and woodwork
in dwelling houses cracked and split
A disastrous hot wave swept
through Europe in June, 1851. The
thermometer in Hyde Park, London,
indicated from 80 TO "a in the shade.
In the Champs de Mars, Paris, dur.
ing a review, soldiers by the score fell
victims to sunstroke, ana Alder
shot men dropped dead while at
drill.
In 1881 it is said the heat through
out the United States was the great
est on record, the thermometer in
many places registering los in the
shade. In England the mercury
ranged from 80 to 100, and in Asia
o. In London it was the hottest
season known in % years. The d.
rector Of the Paris observatory de-
clared there was no record of such in
tense heat

THE selflshness of man is probably
the ugliest thing upon which angels
ever have to look.
DON'T put much dependence in the
religion that tries to advertise itself
in q shop window.
THE heart of man never finds out
what real joy is until Christ begins to
rule and reign in it.
You can ind hundred people who
are courageous where you will find
one who Is patient.
THERE is something wrong with
the Christian who never gets happy
outside Of prayer meeting.
If the devil ever rubs his hands
with satisfaction it must be when
hypocrite joins the church.
THERE is many a wife whose hus-
band belongs to church, who never
suspects that be has religion.
If God could forgive his enemies
without repentance, nothing could
keep the devil out Of Heaven.
How MUCH bigger it always makes
us feel to look at other people through
the large end Of the telescope.
THERE are men who occupy high
positions in the church, at whom the
devil has never thrown a single stone.
If some people were birds, they
would sit down in the dust and COM
plain that their wings were heavy
load.
THERE is many wife hungeriDg
for an occasional word Of approval
who will be buried in a rosewood
casket
TIE man who will deliberately
break one of Gods commandments,
would break down the gates of Heaven !
II he could.

Of the dying man, DIR. Smith prepared
a bulletin which was posted in the hall
to the effect that 1t was doubtful if Mr..
Booth survived the night. DIR. Smith
told one of the members Of the club that
Booths pulse was in the neighborhood
of 160 and his temperature was over
105. There was nothing that could be
done except for the anxious watchers to
to sit by the bedside until the feeble
sparks of life we're finally extingnished.
At 10 o'clock another serious change
was noted and DR.. Smith was again
summoned. He did what he could to
ease the dying moments of Mr.. Booth,
who, although completely unconscious,
appeared to suffer greatly for lack of
air, it being apparently extremely diff
cult for him to breath. From this time
until he expired the great actor grad
ually grew weaker, the restless motion
of his hands ceased and life finally
passed away. At his bedside were the
actors daughter and her husband, Mr.
Grossman, Booths brother-in-law, Mr.
Mogonible, William Bispham, an in
innate friend and Charles Farrell.

The handling or smoking Of cigarettes
is now violation OF the law. Yester-
da IKE Roscoe bill, passed by the last
state legislature, come into effect, and
he who deals in the filthy little weed to-
day is law breaker. The provisions Of
the bill are as follows:
Section l. That it shall be unlawful
for any person or persons whomscever,
to manufacture, buy, sell, give or furn-
ish 10 anyone, cigarettes, cigarette pa
per or cigarette wrappers,
Sec ,. That whosoeyer manufactures,
buys, sells, gives or furnishes to any
person or persons, cigarettes, cigarette
papers or cigarette wrappers, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall be fined
not more than $500, or be imprisoned
in jail not exceeding six months, or both,
Tor each offense,
Sec. 3, This act shall be literally
construed to the end that its objects
shall be enforced.
Local dealers all signify their Inten-
ton of living up to the provisions of the
act, and each one commends the law.
Cigarette smoking is the most pernicious
of all the tobacco habits, and the legis-
lature acted wisely in passing the Ros-
coe bill. Every good citizen will, to the
best of his ability, seek to live up to the
law. Throw away your cigarette,

The Law Sustained.

OLYMPIA, June 5.-The supreme
court, in a lengthy opinion rendered to-
day, sustains the law in the famous land
commission case which has excited great
interest throughout the state. A re-
verse decision in the case would have
affected majority of the laws enacted
by the last legislature. The contro-
yersy arose through the refusal of At
torney General Jones 10 approve the
bond of L. NJ. Reed, Jr., as Il member of
the land commission appointed by the
governor. The commission has the en-
tire control and disposition of public
lands granted to the state, but the at
torney general refused to approve OF
Reeds bond, contendiug that tho bill
providing for the appointment of the
commission should not have the force OF
law by reason of the fact that the legis-
lature had not complied with the consti-
tuLional requirements by which a sub
iect matter can be enacted into law
Court held that it was the duty Of the
attorney general to have approved of the
bond, and he having refused peremp-
tory writ Of mandamus must issue, re
quiring such action on his part.

The Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 5.-The
President said this evening in reply to
direct question by representative of
the Associated Press that he intended
to call an extra session of congress not
earlier than the first nor later than the
fifteenth of September unless unexpected
contingencies should necessitate an
earlier meeting, The president further
said:
"While there has been no mystery
nor secrecy IN regard to my intention
in this matter, [ think it not amiss
that our people should be informed au
thoritively that the time is at hand
when their representatives in congress
should be called upon to deal with tinan-
cial condition, which is the only menace
to our countrv's welfare and prosperity.
1t is well for people to take up the sub
iect foc themselves and arrive at their
own conclusions as to the merits of the
financial policy which obliges us to pnr-
CHASE idle silver bullion with gold taken
from our reserve. One does not need
the eye Of fnancier to see that this
gold thus distracted from the govern
ment's stock is eagerly seized by other
nations for the purpose of strengthen
ing their credit at our expense. 1t
does not need the art of craftsmanship
to detect the danger that awaits up, IN
continuance of this operation. Already
the timiditiy of capital is painfully APP
parent, aid none of us can fail to see
that fear and apprehension in monetary
circles will ultimately bring suffering to
every humble home IN our land. [
think between now and the meeting of
congress much depends upon the action
of those engaged in financial operations
and business enterprises. OR vast ma
tional resources and credit are ahund-
antly sufficient to justify them in the
utmost faith and confidence, if instead of
being frightened they are cons rvative,
and if instead of gloomily anticipating
immediate disaster they will perform
patriotic duty and at the same time pro-
tect their own interests. Things just
now needed are GOODNESS and calmness
in financial circles and study and re-
Election among the people"
