CAUSES DEATH OR INSANITY
Hot Weather Adversely Affects the People
According to Experience,
INCREASE IN MORTALITY DURING JULY
Infants and Aged Persons succumb
to the Torrid temperature and
Minds Give Way Under
the strain.

The death rate Of the city for the month
Of July has been larger than for any other
month for several years. The total number
is thirty-six, The majority OF these have
been children OF tender age and old people.
The increased mortality is charged by the
that has prevailed during the greater por-
ton of the month. There were seventeen
deaths Of children under 2 years OF age.
Thirteen of them died from cholera in
rantum, and twelve deaths were of persons
over Go years old.
Another effect upon the public health at
tributed by the physicians to hot weather Is
the large increase of the number of cases OF
insanity and mental troubles. On one day
during the intensely hot weather Of last week
the commissioners for the insane examined
.our cases. aud the total record Of insane
cases that came before the commi :sioners
during the month exceeded that of any
previous month for several years. One Of
the members of the commission, who Is a
physician, said yesterday that he ha
privately examined more cases of mental
trouble during the hot periods Of the month
than at any corresponding time since lie has
been in the city. lie also stated that he had
sent into the wards for nervous diseases in
st. Demands hospital a large number OF
private cases for care and treatment. He
predicts that If the month OF August proves
to be as hot as July the Increase CT this
class of diseases will be very great, with a
corresponding increase OF other kinds OF dis
ease, especially fevers.

DANGERS of sOCIABILITY.
Speaker Reed IL Not Permitted to be
AmIalIc.

There is little encouragement for a man
prominent in public life to relax his dignity
ana become soclable. says a writer in the
Washington Star. Speaker Reed has been
growing constantly less sociable as he has
grown more powerful in public affairs.
There Is good reason for this, without at
tributing 1t to an enlargement OF the head
consequent upon his position. He is nat
urally friendly, but II he yields to a DISPOSE
ton to be sociable some one at once takes
advantage of 1t. The other day two or three
members of the house were standing In the
lobby before the house met. and the speaker.
coming along, stopped to join in the con-
versation. He had a smile of easy-going in
dolence on his face, and appeared to be in
a most amiable and jocular mood. The
conversation started out with a little ban
tering on both sides, and in a minute the
speakers face was beaming with good ma
ture. Meanwhile an old woman who is
something OF an habitue OF the capitol was
standing at a distance watching him. As
his smile broadened and his good nature
became more apparent she edged inch by
v%eloping on her face. as If In reflection of
his mood, His back was half turned to-
ward her, and he did not see her approach.
Just as he had burst forth in a Characters
tic hearty laugh, the old woman made a
final slide and touched his elbow.
Good morning, Mr.. Speaker" she said.
The speakers laugh was cut in two across
the middle. With a courteous bow and an
expression Of dignifed klndliness ON his
face, he accepted her extended hand and
said: Good morning, madam" With a
deprecatory smile she sided still closer to
him.
II have a small claim she said. (Which
i am very anxious to get through. / hope
you are going to appoint your committees
soon, so that it can be reported. You know
about it."
"oh, yes; ! know about it," replied the
speaker, a look of WEAKNESS and pain
spreading over his face. There is no dan
ger of my forgetting IT,"
Back OF the old woman were several other
petitioners creeping up 10 ambush the
speakers good humor. With an expression
OF painful resignation to fate, he turned and
walked away. He did not stop to join any
other of the chatting groups of statesmen
and the smile did not come back on his
face for a long while.

The boys at No. 3 hose house have been
occupying 6 few of the many weary hours
of inactivity that often drag very heavily
by constructing a harp for one OF the tavorlte
animals. A sounding board had been liked
on the door of the horse stall and upon this
are strung two or three octaves OF piano
wire. The horse rubs his nose against the
wires and evokes a mass OF harmonious
sound that seems to greatly please him. The
musical propensities OF the horse were dis
covered some time ago when he found that
a wire that was stretched tightly across the
doorway would emit a musical note wneh
struck. He continued to strike 1t with the
greatest interest, and kept 1t vibrating a
large part of the time. He seemed to appre-
ciate so keenly the music OF the single wire
that II occurred to some of his friends among
the fremen to construct a larger harp for
him. The one that Is now on the door was
the result. The intelligent beast has shown
his keen appreciation of the instrument and
his continuous use of 1t has cloyed and
almost appalled, the members of the depart
ment. To prevent his playing becoming too
much of a nuisance the strings are loosened
a portion of each day. A good deal OF atten-
tion Is being given to the musical education
OF the horse and he promises to develop into
a prodigy. One lesson that is being taught
him is not to play all of the time and at
all hours. His harp Is strung after supper
each evening and he Is forbidden to play
after the lights go out and the boys retire
for the night, but he Is permitted to play
IL as soon as the dawn lights up the build
ing. The boys are awakened now every
morning by the twanging OF the harp, and as
feeding time approaches the four-legged
musician increases the volume of sound by
striking the chords with redoubled energy.

Herring In Emerine Case.

The hearing Of George Emerine, charged
with criminal assault upon Anna Arnold, was
resumed behind closed doors in Justice BIrk s
office yesterday. The entire day was spent
in taking testimony, and when time for id
journment came the state rested it's case,
The state filed an amendment to the original
information and substituted two separate in
formations, one charging statutory assault
upon a girl under Is years of age and the
other assault by the use OF force. Anna
Arnold's two uncies, NJ. +, Boren and Scott
Boren. testified that Anna was born in Oc-
tober, 1882. and that her father died In 1883.
The state further connected it's case by put
ting the man in charge of Utterback's barn
on the stand to show that Emerine came TO
the barn at 1890 at night to get the buggy
and that he returned 1t at 1920, and by the

HISTORY OF HORsEsnoEIyG.
Peculiar PRIVILEGES Formerly En-.
loved by the Crnft.

FEW lleSeh OTU1Srl Ell
,jOycd by the Craft.
The very recent strike OF horseshoers in
London, which was happily of short dura-
ton, may serve to call to memory some
facts and traditions that go to prove the
high antiquity of the craft, save the Pail
Mall Gazette, and its immense influence on
the progress of civilization, as far as the
services Of the horse are concerned in adj
vancing the interests of mankind. Though
the horseshoer is very often, If not gen
orally, designated, "farrier,' yet this term
is misleading nowadays, if 1t ever was cor
rect in indicating his special function. The
faber ferrarius, from which the term FAR
rier'' is doubtless derived, was a worker in
iron of any kind or fashion, and though in
the earliest periods of his history he shod
horses and forged various weapons and other
articles, yet the designation of smith" was
usually applied to him in this country, and
when he began to be called a ~farrier his
vocation was more that of a sheer of horses,
and, later, their physician and surgeon in
addition. The antiquity of the horseshoer
is, states Mr.. George Fleming, writing in
the Live Stock Journal, coeval with the
origin of the art, which is lost in the mist
of 1000 years. In western Europe 1t was
probably known to the Celtic tribes at a
very remote time, and it may be that the
Druid priests were the teachers OF horse
shoeing in those days, as they were the men
who were best acquainted with the primitive
arts and sciences, a knowledge of which
thew contrived TO surround with n veil of
mystery that chung to these for centuries.
The horseshoer was. in the early centuries
of our era. evidently considered a mysterious
kind of workman, who pursued his calling
in a weird-like manner in a place where no
one was allowed to enter until the steed
was shod.
1t is certain that for hundreds of years the
sheer was an important parsonage, as he
held a high social position and enjoyed
certain special privileges In this country
long before the Norman invasion. This Is
shown in the Welsh triad of laws. which
were revised by Howell the Good in A. ID.
oil, but which were doubtless In force long
before that date. In these laws and regula-
lions the court smith, while in the palace,
was allotted a seat at the end OF the bench,
near the priest of the household, and he
was protected from the time he began work
in the morning until he finished at night.
He was to be presented with clothes for
what he did for the officers OF the palace
he was entitled to the first liquor that came
into the hall, and he was to have food for
himself and servant from the palace, as
well as the heads and feet of all cattle
slaughtered there, and other privileges. In
the Gwentian code of these laws 1t Is stated
that the smith was to sit In a chair near
the Judge beside a column, and this column
was to be struck by the silentiary on the
side farthest from the king when command

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 1.-The Grand Cir
cult meeting opened here today. The track
was a few seconds slow on account of the
rain of the previous night. The most SEN
sational finish ever seen on the track was
witnessed in the third heat of the 2:ll
pace. There were nineteen starters in this
race. Billy C won the first two heats. In
the third heat there was a bad spill in
the second quarter and the drivers of both
Billy c and Nicol B were thrown. Billy c
stopped at the three-quarters post, but Nicol
b kept right on with the field, running wild.
In the stretch the runaway horse pushed
ahead and followed right behind the sui
kies of Pearl Onward and Castleton. Just
before reaching the wire the runaway
passed in close to the rail and while the
spectators held their breath, expecting to
see a smashup, Nicol b poked his head
under the wire just ahead of Pearl Onward,
who won the heat. The runaway horse
slowed up and turned at the first Quarter,
when he was caught by the stableman.
Although Murphy. and Mclaughlin, the
drivers, were badly bruised by the spill,
they drove their respective horses in the
fourth heat, both having been given places.
Nicol B won the heat, passing clear around
the bunch; Darkness prevented the race
being finished.
Mabel P won the 2a17 pace in straight
heats, slowing up each time as she came
under the wire, and Dare Devil won the
