ing Of the leading negroes OF New Orleans

adopted thanking the mayor the Cover

that many of the better class Of negroes

homes here, being frightened away bg the

there was no necessity for this.

day. in which he denounces Miss Jewett
and her blood-and- thunder orators as the
misguided victims OF their own infiamed
fancy, and as crazy agitators who are the
enemies OF tho colored people.
"The Southern negro has become Il
hobby for the Northern and Southern poll
ticians," said Albert, used as q martyr
or scarecrow TO help them to office; and it
is 10 these politicians that the negroes owe
their disfranchisement.

STIMULATES MISS WILLARD.
Curious Charge Against n Chicago
Temperance Worker.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Eva NJ. shontz.
President of the Young Peoples Christian
Temperance Union. is causing discussion
in w. C. T. L. circles by posing, it is
charged. as the successor of the late
Frances Z. Willard. An official protest has
been issued against her attitude.
Miss Shontz, it is said, within the iast
few months has even changed her personal
appearance to conform with that Of Miss
willard. Formerly the President OF the
Y. p. c. T. L. wore her hair in s:y.e
known as "curled bangs" with her back
hair fixed in a coil on top Of her head. The
last number of the New Liberator," the
official organ OF the Y p. C. T. U. presents
d picture of Miss ShontZ, which shows that
her personal appearance has undergone a
radical change Her hair is now parted in
the middle and combed in ripples down
over the forehead. Her face In the ''ofii ial
picture bears Il striking resemblance TO
the photographs OF Miss willard.
It is this metamorphosis that has
aroused the indignation of W. c. r L.
workers. who declare that the succession
to Miss Willard rightfully belongs to Mrs
L. NJ. n. Stevens. President of the Ma
tional w. c., T. L.. and Vice President-at-
large of the worlds organization.
Miss ShonIz is out Of the city on

TWO DAYS MORE OF HEAT.
The Weather Bureau Sees M Jmme-
diate Relief for Washington.

Heat oppressed Washingtonians more,
perhaps. yesterday than it has any day
since the beginning of the present siege Of
hot weather. The official temperature was
not as higE as on two previous days this
week. but on the streets thermometers
ranged higher than they have at any time
heretofore this summer. AT Afiiecks the
temperature was recorded above 80 from
IL o'clock noon till after 6 O'Clock in the
evening. The mercury recorded 101 IL at
4 o'clock. But what made the heat fe-t
more than anything else was the d3mpnesS
Of the atmosphere. The humidity was more
dense than it has been for some time. a
brisk breeze was prevalent in the morning,
but ii died out along in the afternoon n,
when the mercury in all downtown places
was lowering near the century mark.
Few people were on the streets who
could possibly avoid being there. Busine
was light in many of the stores. number
of them closed somewhat earlier than Usu1i
in order that the employees could get away
to suburban resorts or their homes. In a
number of the Government departments.
where the chiefs have frowned on the coat
less men, the rule against working in shirt
sleeves was disregarded. Clerks and even
heads of divisions appeared without their
coats, and all seemed to appreciate the
change.
The region most affected by heat inciud $
the middle Atlantic and the New England
States. The Western States still suffer
from high temperatures but in the Dakotas
and in Montana there has been a slight
drop In temperature. New York City tas
had weather that threatened to bre ak pre-
vious records. Chicago. in spite of its
proximity to the Great Lakes, has been un-
dergoing exceptionally hot weather. Thun
der storms and light rains are forecasted
for New York State and fer New England
today.
There is no prospect of cooler weather in
Washington for two days at the least.
Prof Henry, Chief of the forecast division
at the Weather Bureau, said last night that
there was no prospect of anything but cen
tinued hot weather in Washington toby
and Sunday.
The forecast sheet issued at p m. yes
