THE HURRY CALL.

a week the mercury had been climbing
higher and higher every day It had
started in each morning at from 80 to
IS degrees, mounted to 90, So or 90 de-
srees by 2 or O'Clock in the afternoon
and reluctantly sunk during the night,
only to commence again its anxiousIy
watched journey the next day.
The first day or two were endurable
because the atmosphere was compare
lively dry, but gradually the air became
saturated with moisture, and the per-
spiration which came to the surface
found nothing to dry it mp. All day
long the sun poured down On the pave
ments and cobblestones until they be-
came almost blistering to the touch.
The great structures Of brick and iron
and stone which lined the city streets
absorbed the heat as a sponge soaks up
water. At night, after the sun had sunk
to rest into bank of red clouds which
looked like a fiery furnace, they gave
out this heat in quivering waves which
could be felt if they could not be seen.
The slow breezes which did manage to
find their way about the town were like
drafts from an open oven door.
And the people Of the city-oh, they
Just sweltered and sweltered and swell
tered. They got through the day as
best they might and went to their homes
to struggle through a night that was
worse than the day had been. All who
staid within the city suffered, some
more than others, of course. But the
rich man found the faint breeze which
barely stirred the flmy lace curtains of
his chamber just as disappointing as did
the laborer who crawled out on the iron
fire escape of his squalid tenement. Both
waited in vain for a cool, invigorating
breath which might help them to live
through the brOiling, burning day that
they knew was coming.
This condition Of affairs had existed
for what had seemed an interminable
length of time. The heat demon was at
his worst. Small consolation it was to
learn from the morning newspapers that
over nearly the entire country the same
terrific heat was being experienced.
But to return to the man on the side
walk. He had been helped into the shade
and a glass or two Of ice water had been
dashed into his purple face. It was
clear case of sunstroke, so said the peo-
pie who stood around. The big police
man famed himself with his helmet
and roughly pushed aside the lockers on.
He had RING up a hurry call and was
waiting for the ambulance.

Here comes the ambulance" the
bystanders said to each other.
Down through the crowded street at
a swift gait comes a black, low bodied
wagon, whose pneumatic tired wheels
roll easily along over the pavements.
The driver rings a big gong with his
foot Willie he skillfully guides the reek-
ing horse. On the seat behind sits the
surgeons young man, who seems rather
to enjoy the situation and who calmly
smokes a cigarette as he watches the
people turn and stare after the ominous
looking vehicle. He is but a newly

TRAMPs LOSE THEIR BEER.
They Had Two Kegs But it Will Wet
Other Threats.

Yesterday there was a triumphal pro-
cession of tramps from the Moeser ice
house toward the river. but owing to
the presence OF Patrolmsn Pavey and
Pinkston It was stopped.
The police heard that there we're
several tramps going toward the cold
storage plant Of Nfoeser, and the two
named officers started for the scene.
Just as they arrived they saw eight
tramps walking away from the plant
The two who led the way each carried
a cold key Of beer, and the other six
followed in regular order. There was a
smile on the face of each, and they
stepped high IN anticipation Of the good
time in store for them But the officers
arrested the eight tramps and the two
kegs Of beer, and all were hauled to the
police station
One of the tramps slipped away from
the police, and two were SO badly dis
eased that they were turned out. The
Ave tramps who were registered at the
station gave the names, William Hen
darson, George Wilson, William Stokes,
James Monroe and James Clemens.
They were all charged with vagrancy
and will be tried this afternoon. The
two kegs Of beer were locked IN the
cool room in the basement Of the city
jail.

ST. JOHNS EXAMPLE.
Popu1ist Committeeman Resigns as q
Bank President

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 24.-Popu1ist Ma
tionaI Committeeman Reed, of Georgia,
who is chairman of the finance COM
mittee Of that party's national COM
mittee, came to Atlanta and met Thos
z. Watson. They were in conference
during the greater part of the after
noon.
After their consultation it was an
nounced that Mr.. Reed had resigned
the presidency of the First National
bank of Brunswick, the largest bank
in south Georgia, and would enter even
more actively than heretofore into the
campaign work of the Populists. In
confirming this he said:
Il Yves forced to resign the presiden-
cy of the bank because of the unpleas-
antness of the situation. My views on
the financial question were not regard
ed as substantial enough for banker,
and gradually I was made to feel that
my presence was exceedingly undesira-
BILE I am not the first man who has
suffered through this class politics and
arrow prejudice. I have resigned and
wish it announced that I Will go
throughout the west with Mr.. Watson
and aid him in his fight for the people.
I shall go into the fight for the victory
of Bryan and watson with added
strength and new energy. I realize
since the action of my bank comrades
that the lines are closely drawn and
the people must stand together to de-
feud themselves

WHAT Is HONEST MONEY!

On one thing the whole people Of the
United States are united and that is
a demand for honest money. A differ
ence of opinion, however, exists as to
what constitutes honest money
The supporters of the money plank
of the St. Louis platform believe that
honest money. is money which con-
stantly increases in purchasing power;
money which exists in so small guam
tity that it can be cornered and man
ipulated by a small coterie of bankers
and bond holders in New York. assist
ed. if need be, by their partners in Eu-
rope; money which the government
must pay out on its obligations but
cannot obtain except BY exchng1ng in
terest bearing bonds for it-goid.
Those opposing this idea Of honest
money believe that it consists IN a
money whose purchasing power is COM
parative1-- stable as compared with la
Dor and commodities; a money which
even though it does not exist in sufi-
eient quantity to do the business OF
the country. yet IS sufficiently abundant
to afford a reasonably safe basis for
paper currency issued against it; a
money which will be both received and
paid out with equal freedom by the gov
eminent in all transactions; a money,
one dollar of which is as good as every
other dollar-goId and silver.
The workingman is told by the ad-
vocates of gold standard that he IS
entitled to the best dollar in existence;
The worhngman is not now paid in
can be exchanged for gold. He is told
that his dollar is as good as a gold dol
lar, but it Is not. If it were true gold
would not be demanded and paid out
at the United States treasury in pref
erence to other currency
The holder of the government obli-
cations has an option; the working
man has not He must take what is
given him and Of course he is given
the inferior forms of currency.
The free silver movement is an effort
to put silver on an equal footing with
gold where 1t used to be.
Not only would free silver be a
help to honest money, but it will be a
way to stop the Issuance Of bonds, both
the principal and interest of which the
producers of the country must ulti-
mately pay.
1t will be worth its face in the pay
ment Of all debts, public and private,
it viii be worth as much coined as IN
coined, it Will so enlarge the amount OF
redemption money as to make all pa
per currency safe and sound.
The workingman will find out how
poor a dollar he has now If he should
draw his savings from the bank to pay
of a mortgage with the gold clause in

SINECURE FOR REED.
The Speaker Appointed Referee for
Insurance Companies.

New York, Aug. 24.-Thomas B. Reed
has just been appointed q successor
to the late VIM. E. Russell as referee
for 2s of the principal life insurance
companies Of this country. The po-
sttion carries with it a handsome sal
ary-better than that which Mr.. Reed
receives as speaker of the house Of
epresentatives-and there is little for
the referee to do
If all the service which Mr.. Reed IN
his new position win be called upon to
perform IN the course Of a year was
called for al one time, he could clean 1t
up within Il week. The speaker is a
poor man and lives upon his salary as
q congressman with such addition as
comes from his literary work. The %
companies have a general agreement to
work together upon certain lines for
their common good. If any dispute
arises, which is seldom, it Is referred to
the referee and his decision Is final

MIXED WITH PICKLES.
Virginian Cut to Pieces and Slowed
in Barrels.

FredericlSsb burg, Va, Aug. 24.-Dallas
Bruce, a white man of Caroline cOun-
~, who lived some twenty-five miles
from here, attended the recent con-
federate reunion in Richmond and then
disappeared. His absence caused COM
ment, but for some time no search was
made for him, though he was known
to have had $500 in his possession at
the time.
He was separated from his wife and
had been living with a Negro woman
in the neighborhood. A few days ago
a search for him was begun by his
friends. which resulted on Wednesday
in finding his body cut to pieces and
packed in several pickle barrels at the
house Of his negro mistress.
Each portion Of the body had been
put in the bottom Of a barrel and care
fully covered with pickles, and then
strong brine poured over the whole.
There was no trouble in Identifying
the body.
