COMPARING FIGURES OF HEAT DEATHS
THE RECORD IS MORE THAN DOUBLED n THE
LAST FOUR DAYS

THE RECORD IS MORE THAN DOUBLED IN THE
LAST FOUR DAYS.
In years past there have been periods Of hot
weather which have exceeded in length that which
Brooklyn has just passed through, and there have
been wears when there were hotter days than any
which the thermometers have deigned TO register
this summer. but in respect this hot spell has
far surpassed any on record. The number OF
deaths directly due to the heat of the last ten days
is something appalling and the record Of certih-
Gates Of death from heat filed with the Board of
Health this week will probably be nearly double
what # was for the week ending August g. 1892,
which week previously held the record by large
margin. In that week there were ffty-six death
certificates filed with the Board of Health giving
sunstroke and heat prostraton the cause Of
death The first four days alone of this week
have cqualled that record. On Sunday one case
was reported on Monday seven. Tuesday
twenty and yesterday twenty-one. The
certificates OF death equallng the 1892 record only
cover the deaths which occurred up to Tuesday.
and probably only a small proportion of those, as
many Of the heat deaths are Coroner's cases. He
has the power to issue burial permits, and some
times the certificates OF death are not sent TO me
Health Department for -FOUR or nVe Gays. Inc
number OF such cases In the hands OF the Coroner

1892 The number of cases reported last week was
five The hot spell began Tuesday Of last week.
On that day one death from heat reported No
others received until Friday. when two came
In and there were two more on saturday. The
death record for the whole period will probably
not be surpassed for many years. To show how

SUFFERING AT THE REFINERIES.

THERE WERE MANY VICTIMS At TIE WILLIAMS
BURG SUGAR HOUSES
Between midnight Tuesday and yesterday
afternoon there many victims of the heat at
the sugar refneries. but all. with few exceptions,
were attended by doctors specially engaged, and 1t
was. therefore, impossible to get the correct num-
Der of prostratons. When the night shift relieved
the day shift at o'clock last night some of the
laborers who relieved fairly staggered out Of
the refneries. on crossing the street some sat
down on the curbstones. Others were joined by
their wives who helped them home. Most of the
affected men were Poles and Hungarians The

number of prostrations. it is altogether probable
that the Sugar Trust will make life more pleasant

CONGRESSIONAL PROHIBITION.

Governor Hughes is known as a kstr5ng advocate of prohibition yet it was not thought he would go to the ex- tent that he has gone in his report to the secretary of the interior. Alter rehearsing the evil that strong drink does ito the individual and to the people he writes:
 The federal government terminated the Indian wars of Arizona by banlsh- ing the criminal element of the Indians from the territory The federal gov ernment has from time to time quar- antined againt yellow fever, black smallpox, and other contagious diseas- es from entering this territory It has the power and the jurisdiction to re- move this drink evil from the territory by simply enacting a law prohibiting it's manufacture or sale within our borders. Public sentiment throughout the land is at high tide moving against this great evil, which is undermining the very life of our country. The federal government can test to the satisfaction of the people whether prohibition does prohibit by raising it's strong hand, and declaring quar- antine against this evil in the terri tory.
 Will congress concede this much to the great army of good citizens of the land, the pioneer mothers of Arizona who are pleading for the protection ot their boys?
 It has passed laws prohibiting the sale of liquor to Indians in the terri tories. Why not make this law gen. eral to all the inhabitants of the ter rftories? And the Indian wards of the government will then be absolutely protected against the traffic, the only result of which is destruction.

NEW YEAR INFLUENCES.

When this issue reaches the local reader the year 1896 will be hours old. The watch meetings of the night will have seen the new year in and have re- ceived it with prayer that within its cycle might good be done to the great est degree possible to man. The care less have greeted the new year in joy as though glad that another milestone had been passed on the road that leads all mankind to mysterious bourne where years are but as moments in the eternity of time and of space.
 One day is much like another There will be apparent today no ap. preciable difference from yesterday Yet throughout the world this day will ly, contritely given by man to himsel that righteousness may guide his foot steps for the coming year. Int drunkard, the spendthrift, the errins one with whom conscious yet fingers regard the New Years day as a turn ing point Rarely if ever on that da. is evil vowed; many are the determin ations toward a better life.
 Though these vows may soon b. broken, by them the world is tha much bettered, and through them tn holy influences of the Christmas sea son are extended far into the year.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Tucson Star: The Arizona Teachers association has taken definite measures to establish summer school of science with several educational branches con nected herewith which means much for Arizona's educational interests, as it has for it's purpose the bringing to- gether the educational forces of the territory, during three or four months of the year, in some cool pleasant region, out of which will develop a popular summer resort in the territory where our people can congregate and not only enjoy the heated term in a cool climate, but can utilize the same for educational purposes, so that the summer may be converted into a season of education as we'll as social amusement The inauguration of the summer school of science is another important step in the progress of the territory and it marks a red letter day in the history of Arizona.

A notable example of this is furnished in the United Verde Copper company's mines, at Jerome, which are, today among the biggest dividend payers 1T the United States. The original loca tors could do nothing with this prop erty, and sold it for few paltry thousand It took probably a quarter of a million dollars to open them up build roads, erect plant to work tht ore, etc., before they were placed on dividend paying basis.
