charge of all hospital furniture outside

other nurses do their duty. When each
physician goes his round. three or four
times a day, the head nurse of the ward
must make a memorandum of the medi-

of the hospital corps cannot be admitted
into the field hospital without certificate
of illness from his captain or chief sur

guard against cases of contagious dis

A WARM SUNDAY.
The Hot Spell May Continve for
Some DAVIS Yet

Yese erday saw the climax of one of the
most protracted and prostrating OF not
waves that has passed at the national
capital this Summer. The city, which had
been sweltering all the week. was YER
liable steam oven until late in the after
noon. and the probability is that there
would have been many heat prostrations
reported at police headquarters had IL not
been for the fact that the day was one
of rest instead of labor.
Relief came about $50 O'Clock however
when it rained, followed by a stiff breeze
from the west, which cooled the atmos-
phere for the remainder of the evening
The breeze continued until dusk, and dur
ing the night people were afforded little
comfort and an opportunity TO sleep.
Since last Monday the mercury has sell
dom dropped below 80 degrees even dur
ing the early hours of the morning. and
it has climbed mp far beyond the 80 de-
gree mark during the midday hours The
official thermometers kept up on high roofs
by the weather sharps may not have
registered this amount every day. but
down in the streets it was that hot all the
time.
The humidity has been as bad as that
of the heat. and for three days previous
to yesterday 1t registered as high as 100
degrees each day.
1t was little wonder, then, that the peo-
pie were disconsolate when they arose
yesterday morning and found the sun still
throwing intense heat down through
gray, murky atmosphere, and that the
whole city was in stew. IT was Sun.
day and the majority of the people of the
city did not have 20 work which afforded
some relief, for many sought cooler spots
along the Potomac woodlands or went TO
the seashore or river bathing resorts. But
for those who remained in the city and
went to church, or in other ways en-
dured the heat of Old SOILS rays, Wash
ington was a sad, weary and extremely
hot place. All sought but few succeeded
in securing comfort until the relief of
the early part of the evening arrived
1t will probably be warm again today,
but the weather man thinks the thermom-
eter will be considerably lower than it
was yesterday or last week
The forecast of the Weather Bureau
for today is partly cloudy weather and
occasional showers. No hope is held out
that a cool wave will come this way for
some days yet.

THINGS THEATRICAL.
Glen Echo-Concert

The first local appearances of the Jaxon
Opera Company were made in concert
before large audiences yesterday at Glen
Echo. The crowds were both persistent
and enthusiastic-so much SO. in fact,
that both entertainments were drawn out
from an agreeable TO rather unpleasing
length. Nearly every number was heartily
applauded and the only reason that each
did not receive double encore was in
the unwillingness of the individual play
ers to work over hours. The program
given was novel one for sacred con-
cert" In that it was made up almost en-
tirely of sacred music. The first offering
was Mascagni's Let Us Sing to the
Lord" from "Cavelleria Rusticana," rem
dered by chorus of mixed voices The
selection was gloriously sung, all things
considered, and vociferousiy applauded,
Payne Clarke next contributed a solo by
Rossini, and later on THE Holy City"
He and Miss Lowrie were also heard in
the duet, Love Devine,'' and made en-
phatic hits. A male quartet rendered
THE Chapel in a manner that showed
careful training. Mile Diardo gave Gou-
mods Ave Maria and w. P. Carleton
created a miniature sensation with Cal
vary" MIR. Carleton has a magnificent
bass and sings with considerable real
feeling. The company was next heard
to advantage in a sacred melody and the
orchestra followed with the intermezzo
from "CaYalleria Rusticana," played un-
der the direction of William Macquinn.
A chorus then offered The Angelus, -
Miss Lowrie contributed a solo from 1.-The
Messiah Winford Goff made deep i'm
preston with his fine vocalization of
THE Palms. and Louise Engel was

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The democratic convention was held
in this city on Saturday-the same day
on which the Populist convention as
sembled. 1t differed from the Popu-
list convention in that it was a mass
convention whereas the Populist was a
delegate convention. G. j. SOuthWorth
informs US 50 persons were present.
The convention organized by making
R. w. Fullerton, of Hazelton, chair
mon and A. G. Smith, of Kiowa, secre-
tary. The usual committees were ap.
pointed and the convention proceeded
by nominating DIR. A. S. Cloud for rep
resentative and Seward L. Field for
county attorney. The rest of the places
were left blank subject to the demo.
cratic central committee.
We are sorry that matters are in this
complicated condition. We presume
that fully one-half of the delegates of
the Populist convention believed that a
perfect fusion was arranged and they
had right to so believe. The report
Of the joint conference committee
which is published elsewhere, was SUBJ
mitted to the PopulIst convention and
that report was accepted by a large ma
jority. The Populist convention acted
in good faith believing that this ar
rangement was wholly satisfactory ex-
cepting to some of those of the Popu-
list convention who opposed the report.
Those men, of course, were honest and
nothing should be said against their
integrity. But as the matter now
stands there is both fusion and no fus-
ion-part of the democrats are satisfied
and the others are dissatisfied and the
same might be said of the Populists.
But as the atmosphere clears we feel
confident that matters will assume
their normal condition and the ticket
nominated by the Populists onSaturday
will be elected.

HELP WANTED.

Still seeking for truth, for it's truth
that makes us free, feel constrained
to ask for little information on the
land question. Who was the original
owner of the earth? Did He sell or give
the land to anyone? If the land was not
sold or given away, the question would
be: whence cometh the private owner
ship of the land? Are not the trusts
stealing when they take oil, coal, iron,
etc., from the earth that does not be-
long to them, and sell them? Isn't it
robbery to take anything from the
earth and sell it?
would like for some apostle OF pri-
vate ownership to answer these Ques.

with truth and the higher laws. "In

Following are the resolutions adopted
by the Salt Fork Live Stock Associa-
ton at their semi-annual meeting at
COldwater, Kan, on September 2and 8:
RESOLVED: That we condemn the position
of the present Live Stock Sanitary Commits
sion IN reference to admitting cattle into this
state from safe territory above the govern
ment quarantine line. We call attention to
the fact that there Is no case on record where
cattle from New Mexico or Arizona have
transmitted splenic or Texas fever. There
fore we denounce the present system of in
spection from such sefe territory as a farce
and a pretense, wholly to make places for IL
responsible parties not under bond or oath. to
be supported at the expense and detriment to
cattlemen.
We assert that these parties assume to be
guardians of the stock interests and virtually
brand those engaged in the stock business as
dishonoraole and ignorant aud incapable of
judging and managing their own affairs The
great number of cases of Texas fever for the
year 1898 indicates that inspections have been
simply pretense, and the criminal laws in
reference to sanitary regulations have been
loosely enforced as compared with 1897. when
one third more were admitted, and under an
only two serious outbreaks of fever, and
those on cattle admitted by inspectors.
This association is justified in indorsing the
position of Hon. Frank Weinshank and j. W..
johnson for abolishtng the system of admit
ting cattle through inspection. We commend
them for prosecuting all those who violated
the criminal laws in reference to shipping or
driving diseased cattle into the state. and we
believe, as they, that the State Live Stock
Commission should be held responsible for it's
acts, and that IT should not shift that respon-
sibility upon inspectors; that If the cattlemen
are to be held up the commission should do It..
The great number of cases of fever for this
year indicates that irresponsible parties have
admitted cattle, and the fact that no criminal
prosecution has resulted from the admission
of such diseased cattle. indicates they are In
/ no position to prosecute violators of the law.
We. your committee. endorse the foregoing
/ resolutions. @. d. COLE.
