WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The announce
ment that Gen. Cesario Canevaro, the
minister of Peru to the United States,
has been elected first vice president Of
his native country, has created some
thing of a sensation in diplomatic cir
cles and has also been productive of no
little talk at the state department
Gen. Canevaro is still the minister to

the surrender of his portfolio having
SO far been received. He left this
country for home in the latter part of
April on three months leave of alb
sence, assuring his friends,in this city
that he would return.

THE PULLMAN CHARTER.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Attorney General
Maloney Sunday discussed the fling of
his petition for quo warranto to forfeit
the charter of the Pullman Palace Car
Co. He declared emphatically that no.
body was behind him" in the quo
warranto proceedings, and that he had
contemplated such coup during the
most exciting period of the strike, but
was advised by friends to wait.
WAS the determination to attack the
Pullman Co.'S right to it's franchises
a sudden one?' he was asked.
''By no means. i began to look into
the facts months ago. In June last I
had finished my investigation, and
made it clear that the company had
forgotten, apparently, all about the
original powers, and had gone on
creating powers of it's own. The COM
pany was chartered in 1867 by special
act of the legislature to engage in the
manufacture of railroad cars. 1t has,
however, acquired over 500 acres of
land. 1t has built it's shops; also fifty
acres of houses, which it rents for
profit. Its charter give it no such
rights"

HEAT OF THE HUMAN BODY.

The Variations of the Temperature Are
Influenced by Food and Exercise.
Owing to tie common use nowadays
of the clinical thermometer, most per-
sons are aware that the normal tenn
perature of the human body is about
9S.6 degrees Fahrenheit. 1t is, however,
subject to important daily fluctuations,
which have to be considered in esti-
mating any decided alterations, says
the Fortnightly Review. 1t is suf1i-
cient here to notice that the human
temperature falls to its lowest about
one or two o'clock a. m, while the
maximum daily temperature occurs
some time in the afternoon. These
variations are influenced by food, but
as they occur in fasting persons they
are not altogether dependent upon the
supply of nourishment. Exercise has
decided effect in raising the temper
ature, q fact of which every one is con-
scious. The application of cold, as by
a cold bath, lowers the temperature of
the skin, but raises temporarily that
of the internal organs, as it causes an
increased volume of blood to be forced
into them. In hot countries the bodily
temperature is raisec-at all events, in
newcomers.
Perhaps the most wonderful phenom-
enon connected with the bodily tenn
perature is the preservation of its gen
eral level under all external circum-
stances of heat and cold. This power
seems to exist in man in a higher
amount than in most other animals,
since he cannot only support but enjoy
life under extremes which would be
fatal to many. The accounts of de-
grees of cold frequently sustained by
arctic voyagers are almost incredible.
We read of temperatures so, 80 and
even 102 degrees below the freezing
point. On the other hand, in the trop-
les the temperature often rises through
large portion of the year to 10 de-
grees, or even higher, and we know
that workmen can remain in furnaces
at temperature of 800 degrees or
more without inconvenience. In all
these cases the air must be dry and
still; similar extremes of heat or of
cold, accompanied by moisture, would
prove in tOlerable

CINCINNATI, Aug. 13.-Bloody Run
creek, north of Walnut Hills, has con-
quered once again in its ghoulish war
upon human lives. The place has be-
come memorable one, owing to the
many tragic events which have trans
pired there within the past few years.
Sunday afternoon, George Baker, Of
Mt. Lookout, and his cousin, Howard
Givan, started for Bloody Run, with
the intention of going in bathing.
During the past month this creek has
been tiny stream of water trickling
through rubbish and over hills, but
with the advent of the rain of the past
three days 1t became quite deep and
treacherous in the extreme.
When the two young men arrived op-
posite q large sycamore tree on the
bank of the stream they noticed sever
al piles of clothing. Several minutes
later Baker stepped upon the body of q
boy. Horrified beyond expression he
stood and gazed upon it for moment,
and then, recovering himself, called
Givan's attention to it. They then ex-
amined 1t more closely and found that
it was the body of a boy about twelve
years old.
Near the tree was q hole filled with
water, which was about eight feet
deep, and in this the boys body had
become mired. Not being able to re-
move it from the mud the two boys
called for help, and lad named Carl
Schmutte responded to their cries. He
was at once notified to get help. He
hurried away, and the two young men
again resumed their efforts to move
the body to the bank. Before help
arrived they succeeded in doing so by
means of fence rail, which they used
as lever.
Three sets of clothing were found, on
examination, to be in the pile on the
bank and a hunt was at once made for
the other two bodies. In few min
utes they were also found in the hole
and brought to the bank, where they
were laid side by side.
Later in the afternoon the bodies
were identified as Matthew Slattery,
aged IA, VIM. Slattery, aged 12, and
Frank Burns, aged 10. The Slattery
boys parents live at 81 Symmes street
and Burns parents at "a Symmes
street, Walnut Hills. They were iden-
titled by the boys fathers, who had
been attracted to the place by the fact
that their boys were missing from
home, and the realization of their
grave fears was hard blow.
The only explanation that is thought
plausible for the drowning of all three
of the lads is that one of them got be-
L -. 1.
cramps. He called to the other boys
for help, and they responded and all
of them went down together.

A Claret-Drinking Dog.

A tiny West Indian hound, owned by
Charles R. Price, of st. AIMS avenue,
New York, has history. The dog
was born at st. Thomas, West Indies.
When the ready-made cruiser America,
which was fitted out in that city for
the navy of Brazil, to fight Admiral
Mello, touched at st. Thomas, Gunner's
Mate John ID. Price, of the ship,
brother of the present owner of the
animal, bought the dog. He was then
but nine days old, and when he was
taken aboard the America the sailors
initiated him into life of sin by feed
ing him claret for breakfast, beer for
dinner and whisky for tea. The dog
was brought to that city by Gunner
Price, who resigned from the America
at Pernambuco. Since his arrival he
has been cut down on his allowance of
liquor and eats like other dogs, al
though for three months after his
birth he lived a life of constant intoxi-
cation. The animal is very valuable
and takes kindly to New York's eli
mate. He has been named Mello, after
the rebel chicftain.
