TOOK A TUMBLE.
The Sizzling Weather
Takes an Arctic
Turn.
MERCURY FALLS 81 II DEGREES
Thunder Showers Do Funny
Things About the City
in the Afternoon.
MERCURY FALLS 81 u DEGREES

After two days of the hottest kind of
weather, there was a change yesterday,
and it came so sudden it even made
people think that after all it was not
half bad to have the thermometer reg
istering 80. Hardly a person in Wor-
cester was there who did not make ar
engagements to meet the weather on an
even footing yesterday, but straw hats
and turned up coat collars were in or
der on the streets in the afternoon.
Early yesterday morning the Their
mometer took a tumble and it came
pretty suddenly At o'clock Tuesday
night the official thermometer kept by
Ralph c. Knowles on top of the State
Mutual building. registered 81, and yes
! terday morning between and o'clock
it fell rs points. The east wind did the
| business Tuesday night at midnight
the thermometer registered IS. An hour
later the mark was rs, and from to
4 a. m. the record was stationary at To-
After 4 a. m. the mercury began its
downward journey, and 1t fell all over
itself getting down to So, where it
stayed for a time.
| 1t began to climb again, and II o'clock
| it registered S71a degrees. Toward noon
| IL began 10 go down, ana as u CLOCK
struck it was rs. Throughout the after
noon the change was perceptible, and
between II o'clock in the morning and
o'clock last night the mercury had
fallen 9115 degrees.
With the thermometer at Is at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, it was a
big change from the same hour yester-
day afternoon, when the mercury was
boiling and sizzling at 81.
The east wind will probably blow to-
day again Yesterday it was rolling
along at a velocity of five and one-half
miles an hour when it was at its best.
| The forecaster for New England pre-
sumes that it will warm UP a bit today,
but does not expect that we will be
treated to any such excessive heat as
we had Monday and Tuesday.
The Washington forecast for New
England is: Thunderstorms today and
cooler weather, with variable winds.
The shower yesterday did funny
things around Worcester. Up near
Adams square the rain pelted down
with a vengeance, while up at Holy

The crowd left the bleachers. but re-
turned later.

Nuisances Connected With its Operation
Aired at Committee Meeting.

Nuisances connected with the opera
ton of the Thermostadt fire alarm sys-
tenn occupied the attention of the COM
mittee on fire department at it's meet
ing last night in the fire department
headquarters.
Alderman T. ]. Barretts order intro
duced some two weeks ago was the
cause of meeting which called for an
investigation. There were present st
the meeting of the committee several
of Worcester's most prominent bust
ness men who use the Thermostadt
system of fire alarms, and the COM
mittee listened to reports from several
as to its workings.
Mr. Butnam, manager of the Their
mostadt system, was also present, and
in a lengthy harangue, explained the
workings of the system. The reason of
Alderman Barrett's order was the
trouble and inconvenience to which the
fire department had been put by the
system, for it was difficult to know
when the alarm rung in the houses
where a gong connected with the tap
per was placed, whether 1t was for an
alarm of fire or whether simple test
of the system was being made. The
users Of the system have been accus-

has been created.
The matter was referred to a sub
committee consisting of Councilmen

F. E. Haywood, representing the man
ufacturers insured in mutual compan-
les, and A. II. Howard, representing
manufacturers in stock companies,

those six long, dreary, miserable years.
Think of the distress of a refined modest
woman during the useless examinations
and treatment of four different doctors who
each and all failed to give her any comfort.
Think of all this and then think that she
was finally cured-completely wholly, per
nauently cured right in the privacy of her
home without the abhorrent "examina-
tons" and local treatment so uniformly
insisted upon by home physicians-cured
Just as she might have been six years before.
These are simply the facts in the case of
Mrs. NJ. B. Wallace, of Muenster Cook
Co., Texas who writes:
~ had been great sufferer from female weak
ress. l tried foHr doctors and none did me any
good. I suffered six years, bue at last found
relief / followed your advice and took four
bottles of Golden Medical Discovery and eight
of the Favorite Prescription now feel like a
EeV 70omdn. l have gained eighteen pounds"
Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription is a
medicine made for just one purpose-to
cure disorders or diseases of the feminine
organism. II is the only preparation of its
kind introduced by regularly graduated
physican-a skilled specialist in the dis
eases of women, whose thirty years of sue
cessful practice are guarantee of health to
all sufferers who consult him.
Every woman may write fully and con-
hdentially to Dr. r. v. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. Y, and may be sure that her case
will receive careful conscientious, conf
dental consideration, and that the best
medical advice in the world will be given
to her, absolutely free.
