Hottest Day in Two Years.

Weather Observer Stewart says that
the mercury in the glasses Of his big
thermometers had considerable work to
confine itself within the bounds OF the
glarsee.
He officially announces today that the
weather was warmer yesterday than for
any day since July 26th 1885. 1t record
ed 80 degrees.
The weather started of this morning
recording a minimum temperture of 68
degrees and it bids fair to play almost
even with the temperture Of yesterday
Mr.. Stewart gives no promise OF let

A Big Con.i .isnment.

The Thompsop Jewelfy and Music
company yesterday received the largest
consignment Of sewing machine evei
shipped to this city at one time-25 ma
chimes.
The machines were Of course OF the
"Standard" make. handled exclusively
by The Thompson Jewelry and music
company.
Over all other competitors the "Stand
ard" claims 25 cardinal points OF super
iority 1t would be impossible to enum
crate all these points OF sxcellences.
One in particular however needs men
tloning. The Standard makes . lock oI
loop stitch. Those who sew with ma
chimes can realize the great value oi
such a combination.
The "Standard" claims for itself thai
it can be kept practically new life time
because every part is Independent and
can be replaced at = triHipg cost.
With the known superiority OF the
"Standard" sewing machine any one
would be foolish not to make an exami
nation of our machine. We guarantees
you that an examination will be suffi-
ciently convincing to make you a pur
chaser of the only really great moderu
improved sewing machine.

were received relative to this establish
ment in April and May. 1896, At that time
the Health Department suggested in a
communication TO the Commissioners the
advisability Of taking steps to secure the
indictment of the parties responsible for
the maintenance of common law Eui
sance, and stated that it could probably
procure the witnesses necessary to estab
fish its character as nuisance of that
type"
On the basis of this communication DR..
Woodward states that the matter was re
ferred 10 the United States District Attor-
ney but without results. Independently of
the Commissioners. it is stated. the
Health Department, on September s, 1896
formally requested the District Attorney to
institute proceedings to compel the abate-
ment of this alleged nuisance. One OF the
inspectors of the Health Department
DR. Woodward says. was then ready to tes-
tify as to the facts in the case and to pro-
ducc five witnesses. the names of whom
were furnished to the attorney. This at
tempt to secure action, however accord
ing TO the report, was no more successful
than the previous effort had been.
In conclusion, the Health Officer states
that he sees no way to 1.-THE abatement OF
the nuisance complained OF other than by
indictment OF the responsible parties or by
Injunction, and he recommends thar the
petition be referred by the Commissioners
TO the United States District attorney with
instructions TO take such action as shall
