The evening world., 1894-06-21


Summer began at 6.O o'clock this
morning, when the sun passed out OF
Capricornus. the book beer sign, into
Aquarius. the uninteresting old teeto-
taller. who travels around the Zodiac
with an ice-water pitcher.
This Is according to the reckonings of
the astronomers, but 1t is made in fiat
defiance of fact, as 1t has already been
Summertime for quite a spell.
The day began with fair prospects of
being a record-breaker. for. with 70 de-
grees at 8 o'clock It was not unlikely
that before night the temperature would
reach and pass IS degrees. the record
made Tune 81 last year.
The humidity scored 65 per cent. this
morning against 81 for yesterday, a con-
more tolerable. Still, every prospect was
for greater warmth.
Mr.. Dunn turned upon his waiting
friends, the reporters. when he entered
his office this morning and remarked in
a tone Of gentle inquiry:
II would like to know what you fell
lows meant by calling me a 'p~antata' or
some such ridiculous name yesterday. 1t
Isn't In the dictionary, and my family
and friends would like to know whether
1t was complimentary or not"
Mr.. Dunn had evidently missed that
part Of the Lexow testimony In which
the Bohemian saloon-keepers OF the east
side referred to the mercenary Police
Captains as "pantatas." Mr.. Dunn was
solemnly assured that when he was al
luded to as the ''pantata" OF the weather
business II was with the purpose OF ron
ferring upon him a measure Of greatness,
~panjandrun.." since 'pantata" is the
Bohemian term for such eminences.
He was Modified. but not altogether
of the new honor.
Mr.. Dunn then tool up his charts and
examined his Instruments, after which

knowledge of which the public thirsts.
II was generally fair all over the coun-
try at 5 { o'clock this morning, except in
local showers. 1t was warmer over the
Atlantic States south OF Maine, and also
In the Mississippi and Ohio valleys. The
Yesterday has moved over into Canada.
The forecast for these parts Is that II
MI be fair and warmer to-day. with a

morning. but will probably turn warmer
again tomorrow noon. There was a
fresh southerly breeze OF eight miles an
hour this morning, and this boon seemed
likely to be continued.

several cities scoring so degrees. and the
coolest was Helena, Mon.
A combination Of gathering clouds and
freshening breeze reduced the heat be-
tween 8 and 8 o'clock. In hat our the
temperature fell two degrees, and the
hope sprang up that It would not be 80
hot after all. That hope proved base
less when, after turning 9 o'clock. the
mercury jumped 5 degrees in the next
half hour.
The temperature on the street, as

breeze that came out OF the west, Mr.
