The Southern Climate.

The following from the Times u MON
explains satisfactorily the difference
between the summer climate of Florida
and that of more northern attitudes:
The casualties caused by heat in a
number of northern cities are appalling.
Thirty-seven people in Chicago were
victims of heat Monday, and 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 dead animals were
lying in the streets. They died faster
than they could be removed. This is
likely to cost the lives of many more
people, for such condition is sure to
breed pestiIence.
Florida, though thousand miles
further south, maintains her record.
Not death has yet occurred in this
state from the heat. Reports of the
weather are sent to the Times Union
from seventeen southern and eleven
northern cities, and three border cities
Cincinnati, st. Louis and Kansas City.
The seventeen southern cities showed
an average maximum temperature yes
terday of SO 14-17 degrees. The average
of the eleven northern cities was 90 2-11
degrees. and the average temperature Of
the three border cities was 81 degrees.
A comparison between the extreme
southern and northern cities shows that
there is very little difference between
the summer heat of the two borders of
the country. For comparison we take
eight cities, all on the gulf coast or the
Florida Atlantic coast, and compare
them with the eight cities furtherest
north of any from which reports are
received. The following was the maxi.
mum temperature of these cities Mon

HOTELS CAN'T SELL BEER.
A Judges New Interpretation of New
Jerseys License Law.
Sneefoy fo The Trvss,, Cit4, Nssa~
ID to the jersey CITY Neuz.

BELvIDERE. Oct. IA. 1sss.-The hotel
keepers of this county are in consterna-
ton by an opinion rendered by Law
Judge William H. Morrow in granting a
hotel license TO Joseph Wflever, on
Broadway. Judge Morrow said that the
license did not permit Willever to sell
beer. h law governing the licensing
of hotels say that the Judges of the
Courts Of Common Pleas in the several
counties of his State are authorized to
grant licenses to keepers of inns and
taverns to "ssell vinous, spirituous and
other strong drinks" Judge Morrow
holds that beer, being a brewed liquor,
can only be sold under a saloon license.
Leading lawyers here say hat Judge
Morrow's ground is well taken and
that he will be sustained by the higher
courts. The Prohibition1sts are elated
over this new Interpretation of the law
and will see that every hotel in the
county abolishes the sale of beer. Should
Judge Morrow's construction of the law
be sustained it win affect every hotel
in the State licensed by the courts or
the Common Council of boroughs.

Dull GOVERNORS DAT
Few Visit the State House
Now on Tuesdays -General
Sewell Sees Nothing
But Victory.
Special to the .yeysep CITY Nssps.

TRENTON, Oct. IA, 1S96.-Governor's Day
under a Republican administration has
fallen into innocuous dessuetude. When
Governor Albeit and Governor Werts sat
in the chair now occupied by Governor
Griggs Tuesday was a great day. With
the exception of the warmer summer
months, ON every Tuesday the corridors
of The State House would be filed with
leaders from almost every county in the
State. If during a campaign any one
wanted to know how matters stood in a
certain county he would Journey to Tren-
ton on Tuesday and be sure to find in the
corridors some we'll informed man from
that county who could give him all the
information he desired.
But now all that has changed, the ro-
tunda and hall leading from the Gus
todian's Office to the Governors room,
which in the old days were always crowd
ed. are as deserted nowadays as the halls
of some unearthed building In the ruins Of
Pompeii.
The State House Commission. the state
Board Of Assessors and the Board OF Tax
alton all held sessions yesterday, and yet
there was hardly a soul about the build
ing outside of the employees. The most
distinguished figure that stalked through
the rotunda was that Of Senate William
j. SeWell. He had come TO Trenton to
attend the funeral of Judge Green, and
after the services he visited the State
House. He called upon the Governor and
discussed the political situation with him
from the look upon their faces hen
they parted, 1t was evident that the stu
ton was satisfactory to them at least. AS
soon as 1t became known that the General
vas in the State House the employees
fioeked around him and shook his hand
and rendered him the homage due unto
Caesar. The General had nothing to say
about politics further than that the out
look for the election of Mckinley and
Hobart was most bright and that New
Jersey would cast her electoral vote for
the Republican candidates.
Assemblyman Skinner of Essex, was in
the custodian's Office waiting for the
Court of Chancery to open. He said that
the Republicans would sweep everything
in, Essex that the much talked Of feuds
among the Republicans of Essex were
mostly talk, and that they in no wise i'm
paired the usefulness of the party.
The State Houe Commission met and
opened the bids for printing. With the
exception of those for printing the laws,
all were referred to Expert Bechtel, who
will single out the lowest bidders and re-
port to the Commission. MacCrellssh &
Quigiey were awarded the contract for
printing the laws, their bid being SIZE. SO
for a $1,000 edition of sixteen pages.
Factory Inspector Ward was at the
State House yesterday. Nothing was
done in the matter of appointing Edward
3. Sterling to succeed John Darcy, who
is now serving as Mr.. Wards clerk.
The State Board of Assessors was in SEES
sion several hours. They considered
| numerous railroad and misceilaneous
cases none OF which was of local interest
DR.. James N. Green. of the State
Schools was among Governor Griggs' call.

Coed Roads Association Wants q
Rfcye1e He'll Ordfnance.

The Good Roads Association communi-
Gated with the Board of Aldermen last
night on the subject of regulating the
size of bells to b. used by wheelmen.
During the last month or SO, young
wheelmen have shown a disposition to
attach to their achine as large gongs
as they could get. These they rang Wig
orously on the Boulevard, to the discom-
fort of residents along that t~horoughfare
and the annoyance of drivers, who COM
plain that they frighten horses. The as
ISOLATION asks that an ordinance be
passed fixing the size of bicycle bells at
three inches in diameter as a maximum.
tits also desired to max it compulsory
to have the bells attached to the handle
bars. A penalty of s. is fixed by the
association for violation of the ordinance.
The communication was referred to the
Committee on Laws and Ordinances.

The acceptance by the silverites Of the
National Democracy's challenge to a
Joint debate on the currency question
promises his county at least one highly
amusing seance. 1t is ~presumable that
the gold men will put up the strongest
debaters they can muster. Allan L. Nc
Dermott, for instance, is likely to be one,
and George L. Record. who is a mastery
argumentative speaker. Charles H.. Win
field is a sincere gold man and might be
induced to make a speech. He too is
something of a debater. Then, II speak
ers were sought from other sections of
the State. Mr.. Charlton r. Lewis would
be available. and Mr.. R. v. Lindabury
would, no doubt, be glad to help uphold
the gold cause. And there are many
others. OF course, if other States were
called upon, speakers enough might be
found to conduct a weeks debate instead
of one of a night.
No doubt, the silver men will also mus
ter their giants to the defence of their
cause. There is Senator DAILY. He may
be induced to treat the subject from
the oleomargarine standpoint. Won't-Be
Congressman Alec Young can throw
about the subject the dignifed atmos-
phere of Recorder McDonough's court.
The other Alec Mr.. Simpson of Jersey
City, will give his pegasus rein and shake
his ambrosial locks In the style so popu-
lar in the Horseshoe. Then there is Mr..
Joseph H. Noonan. who will be nothing
if not humorous.
1t viii be a highly entertaining occa-
sion. and If campaign funds are short the
two organizations should sell reserved
seats and divide the proceeds. 1t would
be cheap at a dollar to see such a show.
