HOT WEATHER.
Everybody sweltering from suns
Rays.

"Hot, well l should say So" ana
Barre is not the center of the heated
territory, in fact it is the coolest
place in New England today, but that
is not saying much.
Summer began in earnest yesterday
when the heat became almost intoler-
able. The thermometers registered
from 90 toss in the shade here. and
at Montpelier yesterday, but the con-
tinuation of the spell through the
night and all day today made us
think it was hotter than yesterday.
This is not SO as the thermometer
registered at it's highest mark today,
only "a degrees. In the stone sheds
it is much hotter than this, especially
in the circular sheds where the stone
is in the center, drawing the sun.
Some of the sheds closed down this
afternoon, but In some places it was
not done quick enough, as employees
felt the heat to such an extent that
they had to 60 home.
O. f. Anderson of Warren street,
was carried to his home this morning
Frustrated with the heat. He works
for johnson & johnson at their pol.
shing mill and was working all night
until about $50, when he complained
of the heat and shortly after collapsed
entirely.
He was brought to his home by one
of the firm and fellow workman.
Two or three other cases Of pros
traton were reported, but none OF
them were serious.

ANOTHER SUCCESS.

Still the good things come to those
who go to the excellent performance
1T Dewey Park. The Casino Comedy
Co. opened weeks ennagemen1 az
this outdoor theatre last night to an
audience numbering between four ana
five hundred people.
This company is stronger thah any
vet seen at Dewey Park.
Three old favorites run in for an
other week.
Frances A4dswOrth, the mlnuet
singer, scored another success WIN
her new songs and opened with her
non,llar success, "Strike up the
band"
James Carroll is a new conner ana
bis songs and excellent performance
on various musical instruments served
to give him favorable Introduction
to Dewey Park audience.
White and Harris are also remain
ing for another week and last night
gave a 35 minute double act, which
for novelty and laughter has never
been duplicated in this section. IhiS
act is worth double the price OF ad-
mission.
The last but by no means the least
number on this bill was the pretty
and original act by the pleasing little
English comedien and soubrette, M lss
Mae Russell. This talented young lady
comes here direct from long and
successful run over the Proctor Cir
cult, and at the close of her present
engagement returns to the leading
vaudeville houses of New York and
Chicago. Her jokes are bright and
her acts refined enough for any lady
in the city to witness. Hear her
musical monologuc. Miss Russell is
always popular with Dewey Park au'
dience>. The same company tonight
and all the week.

THE WATER QUESTION.
Matter of Pumping Left with City
Council.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was called last night by His Honor
the mayor to consider the question OF
water.
The superintendent of water works
explained why he could not do the
pumping on the Wiliamstown branch
as he has had notice from attorneys
representing Smith, Whitcomb &
Cook, the Stafford & Holden Manu-
featuring Co., and Jones Bros, for.
bidding him to do SO.
Frank j. Martin was then called as
attorney for Smith, Whitcomb &
Cook, and stated that they would
allow them to 60 on for the consider
alton of 800 per month.
The city council would like to make
an offset for the water given them
from the East Barre supply, but Mr..
Martin would not consider any Off
set.
A fifteen minutes talk occurred on
the question but they were just as
far from decision as when they COM
menced. Judge Boyce having step.
ped in he was called on and said that
he represented two firms who wanted
what was reasonable. He thought
that if there was going to he law
suit over the matter instead OF com.
mencing at the end OF the year he
would just as soon start now.
After little delay Judge Boyce
stated that in order to compromise
they would accept $500 per month
If the matter was settled tonight.
They then went into executive session
and remained there one hour and
then left the matter between the
water committee and the city attor.
ney.
These gentlemen sat for another
half hour but came to no decision.
In consequence of this the Superin-
tcndent of water works could not
start the pump this morning. They
will probably finish the case to night
before the regular meeting.

STREET RAILWAY QUESTIONS.
PAPERS WHICH PRACTICAL MEN ARE TO
HEAR AND PAPERS WHICH THE PUB
Lie WOULD LIKE TO HEAR.

The nineteenth annual convention of the Ameri-
can Street Railway Association is to be held in
Kansas City next week. and the members are TO
have merry time. They are to be amused by
papers on the following subjects and by the follow
ing persons:

This does not seem to be exactly a popular list of
subjects and IT is probably not the intention that
it should be- the public is deeply interested in
certain questions relating to street railways 1t
is suggested that if only experts could be induced
to prepare papers some of these subjects the
convention might be held in the Madison Square
Garden. and as many of the people OF New-York
could leave their business would be eager to
attend. few of the possible subjects are here
submitted for the consideration of the experts:
