Where It Is Hot.

Say, if you people think this is hot
you ought to have my job for about
week and then see what you'd have to
say, said a tall, thin man to a group
OF perspiring unfortunates who stood on
one Of the downtown corners one after
noon during the recent hot spell.
why, what do you do?n came the
feeble query from one of the sweltering
ones, almost too overcome to be
curious.
I'm an oiler in the engine room Of
that big building, And say, this air
out here is a picnic to what we get
down there. If you fellows think this
50 in the shade is hot or this 100 per
cent humidity business is hard to
stand, you want to come down where
we work eight hours a day with the
thermometer making all the time from
5l1O to 120 degrees and see what it feels
like" But he never got any farther,
for at the bare mention of ITO degrees
the group melted away like the mist
before the rising sun, several members
being seen few moments later hold
ing themselves up in front Of a soda
water fountain with their eyes turns

AMERICA NOT REPRESENTED.
Uncle Sam Had Been Invited to tn
Pan-American Cnncress

Uncle Sam Had Been Invited to the
Pan-American Congress- 49,
Mexico City, Sept. 8. - Dominican
Minister Senior Fuen Fuente Ruiz,
dean of the diplomatic corps here,
says he cannot understand why the
United States was not represented at
the recent Pan-American convention
in this city, although it was invited. It
is not, he said, in an interview with
the Associated Press correspondent,
lack Of interest in the great questions
at issue that has dissolved the confer
ence, for the Central American coun-
tries are a unit as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of the discussion of such subjects as
reciprocity, arbitration of all matters
except eminent domains, to say moth
ing of the great paramount and over
shadowing proposition of the Monroe
doctrine. Another member of the con-
ference, while expressing wonder that
the United States had not been repre-
sented, gave it as his opinion that the
American government wanted the con-
ference to meet at Washington. There
is great sympathy for Mexico through
out Latin America on account of Pres
ident Diaz's bold and advanced ground
in the affirmation of the Monroe doc
trine and it's amplification.

AN ALLEGED SPANISH PLOT IS
BROUGHT TO LlGH I.
Gen. yvey'Ier Is Said to Have Coun-
tennnced Plot to Burn Key
West. Fla the Hotbed of the IN
suraents, and Thus End the war
The Town Of Coscnrre, Cuba, Is
Burned by Insurgents.

New ork, Sept. ga special from
Key West to the World says: A letter
was received from Havana last night
by the steamer Mascotte containing in
formation that the Spanish authorities
are plotting the destruction of Key
West. a similar report reached here
several days ago, but at the time it
was not generally believed. The let
ter was Wril,en by Cuban in Havana
: to friend in this city The writer
says that a few days ago he went to
the government office in Havana and
was Informed by friend employed
there that Spanish authorities had de-
ter1nined ito burn Key West and an
initiate that nest of insurgent snakes
The plan Of the Spaniards is to send
emissaries to Key West in the guise Of
Cuban sympathizers who are to fire
the city in as many places as possible
when opportunity arrives. It is said
that Capt. Gen. Weyler is cognizant
of the plan and approves of it. He is
reported to have said that if Key West
and Tampa were laid in ashes he
would soon be able to settle the rebel
lion. 1t is said that in the event Of
the success OF the plot Weyler has
ordered that the emissaries be paid
$4,000.
The people are so wrought up that
it is feared that an attack may be
made on Senior Cruz, the Spanish con-
sui, and his assistant, Senior Fernan-
dez It was reported to-day that these
gentlemen, becoming alarmed for their
safety had gone en- board the United
States revenue cutter Winona and de-
handed protection and that they were
told to remain on the vessel until the
excitement died out The citizens have
determined to form vigilance COM
mittee and every person who cannot
give good account Of himself will be
forced to leave the city.
CoscOrre Destroyed
New York, Sept. S.-The Herald this
morning publishes the following spe-
cial correspondence from Palmarita,
Cuba, under date of Aug. 80: Coscorre
is in ruins and another step has been
taken toward the ultimate expulsion Of
Spanish troops from Cuba The forces
of Rose and Pena have laid waste the
entire heart Of the town, leaving the
occupants homeless. The inmates of
Coscorres fort are now in pretty
bad way, no food of any kind being al
lowed to enter the place. Coscorre is
a small place, but important from the
fact that it was a relay for troops
marching between the cities Of Puerto
Principe and Guaymare.

Republican, the Populists contenting

active canvass of the state, but Files,

THIS MAN HAS BEEN WRONGED
BY THE RAILROApa

When the road was built it suited tn
convenience of the company, according
to local correspondent, to lays the
track within ten feet Of the corner of
Farmer Stoddard's house. The con-
stfuction gang plowed through his
barnyard, removed his hen house and
cut wide swath through fine young
orchard which was the pride of Farmer
Stoddard's heart. The agriculturist
fixed his damages at a high figure: SO
nigh IN fact, that the company COM
PEELED him to go into court and take
what he regarded a ridiculous sum.
1t was not long until the trains were
running. When the first excursion
steamed out of Atchison the passen-
gers, when the train reached Farmer
Stoddard's place, observed the sign in
bold, black letters, with background
as white as snow. Stoddard had paint
ed the sign himself and, while it was
not executed in the highest style of the
art, it could be distinctly read.
Farmer StOddard has raised a large
family of boys and he has taught them
to hate corporations. Not less than half
dozen dogs of doubtful breed can al
ways be found on the Stoddard place.
The dogs, too, are taught to hate the
railroad, and when train passes the
entire pack runs out and banks at it.
The old farmer feels that he is in
measure getting even. Brakemen on
freight trains have great sport throw
ing pieces of coal at the dogs as the
train passes. Stoddard figures that he
gathers up almost enough coal around
his premises to keep one stove running
through the winter months.
