Waterbury is Sizzling and
 Boiling Again To-Day.
HOT WAVE IS EVERYWHERE.

 and Warm or Warmer Weather. The warm and sweltering weather is a stayer There's nothing yellow in its make up. Continued abuse, inyec- tive and condemnation have no effect upon it. It is obstinate and holds more than it's ground. Yesterday Wa terburians thought it could not be any hotter It was 97 degrees. And yet to-day the thermometer at Cannon x Webster's registered 100 degrees at o'clock. And the people continue to suffer. Yet, said q prominent doc tor to a Democrat reporter. it is sur prising what little sickness there is af- ter this long continued spell of hot weather. It is something unusual that so few children are ill. Warm wealth CT. such as this, affects them consider ably and yet I have not had a clear case of cholera morbus this summer and several other doctors have stated to me that they have only attended a few cases of it.
 But if this warm weather continues a few days longer, there cannot be but numerous cases of this disease. While the official marking is 100 degrees to- day, some thermometers went higher, one next door to the Democrat office reaching 101.
