DRIVEN INSANE BY
HEAT in NEW YORK

New York, July with q record of
over thousand deaths due directly to
the heat and three times that number
of prostrations, the week just passed
has been anything but happy or COM
Portable one for New Workers. The
conditions here have been simply ter
rifle, and unless one has experienced a
real New York hot spell" 1t Is hard to
realize just what 1t means. II it had
not been for the thunder storms which
tempered the hot wave during the lat
ter part of the week the deaths, sui
cides and insanity cases would have
been more than three times the number
now recorded.
Driven mad by their terrific suffer
ings scores have committed suicide. A
woman, insane from the terrible con-
ditions, took her three little ones to
the river side and threw them from the
pier into the water below and then
jumped after them. The woman and
two of the children We're rescued and
are now in Il hospital, but the other
little one fell victim to her mothers
insane delusion.
Only once before in the last ten years
have so many dead horses been seen In
the streets. So many died in the streets
that it was impossible to keep the thor
ouGhfares clear and short ride on n
g rect car would bring to ones eyes
eight or ten dead horses awaiting the
dead wagon.
The conditions in the tenement Sec
tions were terrible. The five and seven
story double deckers were literally ov-
ems. with their teeming, perspiring pop
ulation. 1t was impossible to live In
the tiny rooms and the families moved
to the fire escapes and roofs. In the
daytime the streets were practically
deserted. only those stirring abroad
who We're obliged to. AT night all was
changed. The cars carried three times
their usual number of passengers, peo-
pie who were trying to gain respite in
the open air from the terrible heat. In
all the parks and along the water
fronts and on the recreation piers hun
dreds of thousands of people gathered
and slept on the ground, thus escap-
ing to certain extent the terrible con-
ditions in the tencments.

The first active step In the war on
the famous-or infamous-Jersey mos
quitoes was taken last month. when
simultaneous attacks were made upon

of the entomologist of the Department

One of the queer charities in New
York is the auctioning of homeless and
destitute men in Madison Square every
night. Chaplain Rather, a worker
among the poor. who is unconnected
with any church organization started
the scheme. The auction idea was hit
upon by mere accident, but 1t proved
more popular than the old style of
making collections. The chaplain will
pick out ragged specimen of human
ity, stand him on the curb and shout,
What am l bid?" The crowd invari-
ably takes the cue with good humor
and someone usually starts bidding at
five cents. Often the homeless ones are
knocked down at fifty or sixty cents.
when the crowd is especially liberal or
good humored. The money is then
passed over to the object of his attrac-
ton. Every night between eleven and
twelve line of homeless and penniless
men form in Madison square and as the
theaters empty their crowds. Chaplain
RATHER mounts a bench and invites at
tention to his human wares.

broken off. DR.. Rieger maintains that
