HARAssED by HUMIDITY.
What Made the Weather Yesterday Very
Hard to Endure with Patience.

Chief among New Yorks troubles yester-
day was humidity. The temperature was
nothing serious. At no time did II aspire above

Bureaus tower. and in the street below there
was no time when the 00o mark was reached.

yearn to emulate It. II It hadn't been for an
excellent and perscvcring breeze right off the

less bearable than they were. That kept up
all day. and by afternoon much OF tho wetness
had been driven out OF the atmosphere.

Son with Travelling Snowman.

EVERETT. Pa. July BY the detention OF
Harry. the 1lyear-old son OF George W.
Rhodes OF Akron. o.. boy who 1t is alleged
had been kidnapped on Sept rs. 1897. near
Chambersburg. Pa, by James McManigan. a
travelling stereopticon exhibitor will be re-
stored to his parents. The father arrived here
to-day from Franklin county having deserted
the harvest field in Fulton county to respond
to message that his boy had been
found. At the time OF the alleged kidnapping
the parents lived near Chamberlain but sub
seauently removed to Akron. Two weeks ago
word was sent the father that McManigan was
exhibiting in southern Pennsylvania and had
the boy with him. He left home Oh his wheel.
and while passing through Fulton county was
told that NcManigan had left that noig hbor
hood some days ago for Everett. The father
ran short Of funds and hired out as harvest
hand until he could procure enough money to
continue the search His wife had told him
not to return WITHOUT the boy. The stolen boy
was passed of by McMangan as his son.
The father will prosecute McManiGan. The
boy Is particularly bright. and his father says
he has no doubt that many dollars have been
turned into McManigan's pocket through the
stories told that the boys mother was a victim
OF the Johnstown flood. and that he and the
hoy barely escaped with the lr lives. The father
says that his son was completely in the power
OF the alleged kidnapper.
