HOT AND MURKY WEATHER.

SEVERAL CASES OF EXHAUSTION
REPORTED YESTERDAY - To
DAYS RAIN RATHER COOLS THE
ATMOSPHERE.
That yesterday was hot no one will
deny. Its heat was of that sticky.
clinging sort that enveloped one as by
invisible bands of steel, making life not
only lot worth the living but almost
unendurable The thermometer stood
mostly in the nineties. There seemed
to be a breeze, but it, too, seemed to be
heat laden. To-day has been little. If
any, better. The rain and cloudness
intensified that general oppression. and
it seemed tha@the air was almost too
thick to breathe.
No cases of heat prostration were re-
ported at the hospitals or by the police.
There were numerous cases Of heat ex-
haustion, however which kept the doc
tors rather busy in their dullest month.
Watson Lenderman, a boy living at
No. S29 Van Buren street, was over
come by the heat at Ninth and Van
Buren streets yesterday afternoon. He
was taken to his home, where he was
attended by DR.. John p. Malcolm.
Probably the persons most affected
were the riveters in the employ of the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company.
Philip Coyle and three others en-
ployed on the Juniata were so affected
that they had to quit work.

CAMP MEETING OPENS.
FIRST SERVICES THIS EVENING WITH
A PLATFORM MEETING.

MUCH CONCERN ENTERTAINED
BECAUSE OF THE RESOLUTION
oF THE WILMINGTON MINIS
TIERS.
the annual camp meeting at Brandy
wine Summit under the auspices OF the
Wilmington M. E. churches will be
opened this evening with a platform
meeting.
Presiding Elder Barrett will preach
sermon tomorrow, when camp Will be-
gin in earnest.
Much concern has been given over
the resolution passed by the Whining
ton Conference I'm COnveitnO recently az
Chestertown. The resolution follows:
Regarding the Sunday camp meet
ing. which no longer, in these days Of
many churches, is necessary to give the
Gospel to the people, but which, On the
contrary, seriously decimates and de
mOializes the congregations of the
churches, and is certainly the scene and
occasion of much Sunday dissertation
of traffic, of mere pleasure-seeking and
of dreadful and blighting worldliness,
we believe that the time has come when
it is imperative that we should declare
our unqualified disappIoval and should
urge upon camp meeting managers one
of three important reforms: First, an
entire elimination of the Sabbath as
one of the days of the camp meeting;
second, the holding of services for that
day purely for the benefit Of The tent
holders, but discouraging the attend.
anee of visitors, the ministers setting
the example by being in the pulpits OF
their respective charges the minister in
charge Of the camp meeting supplying
that pulpit; third. the building of an
enclosure about every camp ground
with gates tightly shut like Jerusalem
under Nehemiah's rule from Saturday
night until Monday morning, and disal-
lowing in every instance traffic Of any
sort for that day To this end we
pledge ourselves that we will not give
our presence and services to any camp
meeting ON the Sabbath that refuses va
adopt this needed reform"
Presiding Elder Barrett thinks that
| If the preachers do not attend the camT
! it Will be for some other reason than
the action of the conference. He be-
lieves that the resolution will not have
any effect on the attendance Of minis
! ters.
Services throughout the camp period
WIN be: Morning praper at z. prayer
meeting at 1880 a. m. childrens meet
ing az 1.30, preaching at 3, young peO
