The Florida RazOrback.

The Florida ''razorback'' is the
hog indigenous to this climate and
soil. He is usually large of limb and
feet of foot, being the only known por-
ker that can outrun .darky. He has
a tail of ponderous length, which,
while he is in active motion, he twists
into the highest corkscrew, but with
which while quietly feeding he raps
his leathery sides much in the same
manner that the docile COW uses her
tail.
He is self-supporting. He earns his
own living and thrives equally we'll in
the highwoods and the fatwoods, in
the hummucks and in the marshes. He
subsists upon anything he can find
above the earth or underneath it's sur
face. He has clear, forseeing eye
and is very sensitive of hearing.
Nature has equipped him with snout
almost as long as the beak of the wild
pelican of Borneo, with which he can
penetrate the earth many inches in
quest of worms. snakes and insects.
He is the most intelligent of all the
hogs and is likewise the most cour-
ageous He has been known to en-
gage in mortal combat with coon for
the possession of a watermelon and to
rend asunder a barbed wire fence. =

THE LIBERAL CRISIS.
The Party's Leader Admits 1t Has
Reached an Acute Stage.

The Party's Leader Admits 1t Has
Reached an Acute Stage.
London, July a.-The crisis in the
ranks of the Liberal party has reached
an acute stage. This fact was pub
licly admitted and deplored by Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerma the lead
er of the party, in a speech at South
ampton. Although the rumors that
Sir Henry has already resigned the
leadership of the party are premature
a meeting of the party has been sud-
denly convened for next TUESDAY,
when it is expected he will virtually
offer his resignation.
The imperialist faction in the Lib
eral party, headed by Herbert Asqu1th,
has been doing its utmost to enlist
Lord Roseberry on its side, but up to
the present time the latter has made
no sign of meeting it's desires.
Lord Roseberry arrived at Vienna
from Gastein Monday on his way to
England. He will arrive in London
Friday. Should he be willing to re-
sumo the leadership and support Mr..
Asquith, it is probable the latter would
become the party leader In the house
OF commons. 1t was understood that
Mr.. Asquith would long ago have been
selected as leader of the Liberal party
had he been possessed of ample
means. This financial difficulty would
be surmounted by the resumption Of
the leadership by Lord Roseberry.

FATALITY IS TERRlBLEI
OVER HALF THE PEOPLE PROS.
TRATED BY HEAT IN NEW
YORK DIE.
PHILADELPHIA'S NEW MARK

Mercury Reaches One Hundred and
Three Degrees In the Quaker City.
FIfty-two Deaths There and Fifty in
Pittsburg - Impossible to Keep a
Record of the Prostrations in Latter
Place.
New York, July 3.-The heat. which
has worked such havoc in this city
since last Sunday, was somewhat nit
igated during the afternoon by sue
cession of thunder storms, which
cleared the atmosphere and sent the
mercury tumbling down 10 degrees.
Never did a downpour of rain receive
such an enthusiastic reception as did
this one. The thunder and lightning
were heavy and many houses were
struck, causing fires, but so far as
known no person was killed or in
jured. During the last of the down
pour hail fell in quantities.
The morning opened with the tenn
perature at SO at 6 a. m. In an hour
it had gone to 81 and in another hour
had climbed a point higher, jumping
all the way to SO by o'clock. The
humidity at 50 per cent aggravated
conditions.
The mercury registered 95 at 10
o'clock, reached SO in the hour be-
tween IL and 1 and stayed there until
after o'clock, with scarcely any
breeze. The humidity, however, had
fallen to Al per cent.
The suffering caused by the heat
was unprecedented. All the ambu-
lances in the city as well as the patrol
wagons and other vehicles were kept
busy answering calls. At the rate Of
about one a minute the calls came In
over the police wires throughout the
day, breaking all records of demands
upon the ambulance service.
While the official temperature up in
the lofty tower of the weather bureau
remained at SO the thermometers on
the street level ranged all the way
from 100 to 10S.
The terrible fatality of the heat was
shown in the large percentage of
deaths among those Frustrated. Out
Of 3T6 cases Of prostration reported
225 resulted fatally.
Among the more prominent victims
were Rev. DR.. Newland Maynard, the
Episcopal clergyman and lecturer, and
Jacob S. Rogers, the former locomo-
tive builder.

Fifty.two Deaths and Two Hundred

Fifty-two Deaths and Two Hundred
Prostrations at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, July 3.-Philadelphla
passed through another period Of tor

more than 800 others were Frustrated.
The previous official record of tenn
perature of 102 degrees, was eclipsed
when the government thermometer
touched 102 $40 degrees, which now
stands as the Quaker City's record.
Just as the temperature attained these
figures an electrical disturbance of to
the south caused a welcome change in
the atmosphere. In 20 minutes the
temperature fell to 95 degrees and the
wind rose from hot zephyr of 7
miles to cool breeze Of 20 miles an
hour. The temperature continued to
fall until 50 degrees, the minimum for
the day, was recorded.

AN EXTRA SESSION.
One Will be Called Next Winter by Gov,
Van SAINT.

st. Paul, July 3.-There will be an
extra session of the legislature next
winter. There is no longer any doubt
of the fact in we'll informed circles
Governor Van SAINT has considered all
the arguments that have been advanc-
ed against an extra session. He has
also conferred with members of the tax
commission, whose work will furnish
the principal employment of the legis-
lature. They have assured him that
their report will be made in ample
time. Under the law, it has to be
printed and sent out by Feb. 1, 1902
The commissioners expect to finish
their report and ''go to press by Jan.
1, giving ample time for the printing
and distribution to members of the
legislature.
Governor Van SAINT gave his personal
pledge to several members of the legis-
lature last winter that he would call
an extra session in case of an early ad-
iournment. He will keep his word,
and without any regret. The extra
session will be called some time in
February of next year, probably late
in the month, in order to give the
members plenty of time to digest the
tax commission report. 1t will also
be made public in the newspapers, and
in few weeks much can be learned of
the popular feeling and opinion.
Much pressure was brought to bear
on the governor against an extra ses-
sion, and the opposition will not cease
their efforts yet. Most of the antag-
onism comes from the iron range rail
roads and their political friends. Re-
CARELESS of what the railroad commits
sion does with the iron range roads,
there is trouble ahead of them at the
next session of the legislature. The
land grant and ore rate difficulties will
call for legislation, and it is likely to
be drastic. This may quite surely be
expected of the present Legislature, sit
ting just on the eve of the primary
elections The railroads and their
political friends realize this, and they
have been using every argument
against the calling of an extra session.
Their efforts are destined to fail, how
ever. Only last week Governor Van
SAINT declared quite positively that an
extra session would be called.

FIFTY DEAD AT PITTsBUR0.
Prostrations From Heat Too Numer
GUS to Keep Track Of.

Pittsburg, July 3.-While the max
lmum temperature did not reach pre-
vious figures, the effects of the long
continued torrid weather was more
disastrous than any day since the hot
spell began. Fifty deaths had been
reported in Pittsburg, Allegheny and
suburbs, with many prostrations. The
prostrations have been so numerous
that it is hardly possible to keep track
of them. Beginning with o'clock q.
m. the thermometer registered IS de-
grees and at no time during the day
did It go below that point. Innumer-
able children throughout the city are
heat victims and the mortality among
them is unprecedented.

EIGHTEEN TO FoRTY-FIVE.
Age Decided on by President and Cab
met for Postal Employees.

Washington, July 3.-Secretaries
Hay and Long were the absentees at
the cabinet meeting. Little business
was transacted. The most important
action decided upon was change in
the civil service rules regarding clerks
and carriers in the postal service,
The age limits within which appli-
cants could apply for positions as car
riers, which heretofore have been 81
years as the minimum and 40 as the
maximum. The minimum for clerks
has been Is years with no maximum.
The civil service commission proposed
q uniform minimum of IS and a max
imum of 40 years. It was the opinion
Of the postmaster general and the rest
Of the cabinet, how yer, that this max
imum was too low and it was decided
to fix 45 years as the maximum for
both classes Of employees.

STONE SUED FOR 100000.

Was President of Defunct First Ma
tional Bank of Sioux City.
Sioux City, Ia, July ga suit for
100000 has been instituted against T.
j. Stone, president of the Old First
National bank, involving the legality
Of his management of the affairs of
that institution, which was forced to
the wall in 1896. 1t is charged T. J.
Stone, as president and director of the
First National bank, diverted, misap-
propriated and converted to his own
use funds of the bank to the amount
Of 100000. It is alleged that the
loans were made in violation Of the
