ANOTHER HOT SPELL.
Several Days of High Temperature
AntIcipated

Well, said wise-looking man in n
suburban car Saturday, Il apprehend the
hot weather is over So far as 1909 Is con.
cerned''
Il reckon you're mighty right" respond
ed the man with dmple In his chin who
makes it point to acquiesce In every
thing.
This afternoon both individuals wine.1
horid faces with moist handkerchiefs and
swore allegiance to the take-off- your-coat
reform. Neither, however, recalled the con-
versation of Saturday
Il knew that nice cool spell couldn't last
remarked the wiseacre between swabs
So did l, you bet, chimed the other with
an enthusiastic dab at the back of his neck
1t was about o'clock when this was in
progress and the thermometers along the
street level were regarding themselves as
real hot things Affiecks standard instru-
ment registered % at that hour. a Jump of
f1ve degrees from II o'clock and less rep
utabie downtown tubes marked more.
The same average in rise was marked Nv
the offcial thermometer at the weather
bureau, which moved from IS at noon to
8 at 2 pm. The worst thing that came
from the bureau. however was the an
nouncement of Acting Chief Williams that
there would be several days of high tenn
perature
To good many people who have been
brutal enough to assert that they take
weather bureau promises by contraries the
announcement was somewhat refreshing
but to the great masses 1t will come as q
summons to suffer and suffocate.

WITHOUT NOTICE.
Commitment of Children to Indus.
trial Home school.

In recent divorce case which came be-
fore the District Supreme Court, the court
committed two of the children of the par
ties to the suit to the Industrial Home
School, and directed their father to pay for
their maintenance IN the school at the rate
of s. per week. This order of the court It
Is stated, was obtained without notice to
the institution to which the children were
committed, and Mr.. ]. B. T. Upper, chair
man of its committee on admissions, in
closed a copy of the courts order in COM
munication to the District Commissioners.
requesting the Commissioners to inform the
school authorities whether the court had
authority TO make such an order without
notice to them The Commissioners referred
the inquiry to their legal adviser, and today
his first assistant, Mr.. Clarence A. Bran
denburg. advised them that he Is of the
opinion that under the circumstances re-
lated. the Industrial Home School is not re-
CURED by law to receive or care for the
children.
The Industrial Home School, saws Mr..
Brandenburg, was incorporated as a pri-
Vate corporation March r. 1892 under the
provisions of an act of Congress approved
May ,, 1870, which act Is known as the
general incorporation law. Pursuant to
the provisions of clause in the District
appropriation act of June II, 1888, the
schools board of managers transferred the
institution to the Commissioners of the Dis
trct, who thereupOn appointed Its board
OF nine trustees. This board is required by
the act of 1896 to manage the school under
regulations then existing or thereafter
made by the board subject to the approval
of the Commissioners
The board, with the approval of the Com
missioners, August q, 1897 promulgated
certain regulations, among which were the
following:
"Object.-The object of the Industrial
Home School is to provide for destitute
Whlte children of both sexes in the District
OF columbia a good home in which they

JAPAN'S POLICY.
Mr.. Takahira's Statement In Regard
to China.

Mr.. Takahira. the new japanese minister
anese policy on the Chinese troubles IN
which. after a brief review Of the situation
he says
'Japan's policy has always been to lead
China into the path of civilization and to
open the empire to the commerce of the
world large.
Japan will be willing TO use her Influence
In the eventual settlement of the existing
question IN the interest of China She has
ever been opposed to the partition Of China
and will be the first 10 resent such sug-
Eestion-
In other words. she favors the mainte-
nance Of the integrity OF China and the
preservation of the sO-called open door
her policy in these respects being similar 10
that OF the United States. Great Britain and
other powers. AL this depends however
upon what China will do at this very mo-
ment. or within the next few days
There has been a disposition in some
quarters 10 misrepresent Japan's military
preparations But the emperor has not failed
10 pay as much attention to Japan's moral
and educational advancement as to the de-
velopment Of her military and naval re-
sources.
The success Of Japan in so quickly
achieving western civilization must be cred
tied to the hard work Of several genera
tons. and as Japan remembers very well
that IN her struggle for all these achieve
ments she has always enjoyed the SYM
pathy and assistance OF the United States
Great Britain and other European countries.
she Will be glad to make herself useful in
the work Of civilization and peace"

WHY WELLINGTON is SORE
JEALOUS AT McCOMAS' PROMINENCE
IN MARYLAND POLITICS.
Would Like to See Mckinley Lose the
State to Show His own
Strength.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

special l1spatch 10 Inc Evening star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, August ct has
gotten SO in Cumberland because of his
extraordinary II not cratic course in so
many matters pertaining to his public life,
that people here care little what position
Senator Wellington may take in the cam
paign. 1t is felt that his position is worn
threadbare already. Persons on the inside
claim that his opposition to Mckinley IS
not altogether from conscientious motives,
but largely because he thinks he can injure
the party In Maryland and thus throw cold
water on McComas' generalship. 1t is an
open secret that Wellington is more anx-
ious that Mckinley lose Maryland than he
is that he lose the country.
Senator Wellington is an ardent gold man.
He is bank president, and he Is quoted IS
saying that Bryan would not be a safe man
in whose hands to intrust the affairs of the
nation. He has been denying on all sides
that he said he would vote for Bryan. and
it is not thought that he will. After all, 1t
Is recognized that with a man in Senator
Wellingtons position the silver question Is
paramount to any other. He owns over
S5O,UO of Understanding government
bonds. according to returns that he has
made at~the court house here. He is inter-
ested SO deeply in financial matters that 1t
is hardly thought he would make issue
secondary which four years ago he said
would cut In half values if put in force to
one harmless as expansion. Senator
Wellington IS credited by some particular
friends as saying that 1t would be calam-
fty to defeat Mckinley, but he would like
to see him lose Maryland personal vim
dication.
Senator Wellington spends his nights at
Wills Mountain Inn. where he spends hours
playing solitaire. His friends are very in
dignant over the alleged misquoting of Sem
ator Wellington in interviews. He has al
ways been considered a most approachable
man by newspaper reporters. and often he
would refuse to talk at first but would
gradually be led into giving an interesting
interview. He generally shows confidence
in his interviewer and talks In a personal
vein. 1t is alleged that these converse lions
have been distorted when ii was never In
tended that they should be given to the
public.
