climax coming in the afternoon when the local
record for a time so early in the summer was
broken, the Weather Bureau thermometer re-

old. dying not long after he reached the hos
pital. At o'clock tonight the thermometer
had fallen to 80 degrees, with every probability
| that it would not fall greatly during the night
and that Tomorrow would be a scorcher There
seems to be no prospect for any relief for the
next forty eight hours for this vicinity. Be
yond that length of time the Weather Bureau
officials make no predictions.
The present hot wave started in the West on
June 20, and to-day the Weather Bureau officials
report that high temperatures are recorded in
most sections east of the Rocky Mountains and
many places west of them Rains, most of them
moderate in amount have fallen in many places.
The precipitation has been very great in a few
places. In Chicago the fall amounted to 1.56
inches: in Jacksonville. Fla. to LA inches; in
Omaha, Neb., .6S inch and in Davenport. Iowa,
"a of an inch Thunderstorms have occurred in
West Virginia Iowa and the lower lake region.
BY tomorrow relief is promised in the middle
Mississippi valley. the lower Missouri valley,
the upper lake region and by Wednesday in the
Ohio valley and possibly the western part of the
lower lake region. For the next forty-eight
hours along the northeastern coast the prospects
favor more hot weather. In Philadelphia the
heat broke all records for the last thirty years
for July. reaching a maximum of 102. Some of
the other high temperatures recorded during the
day by the Weather Bureau were:

THE PARKS CROWDED.

All the parks were thronged with people, who
asked for nothing but shady spot to sit in
and pant. In the Washington Square Park there
were fully four thousand persons scattered
about the walks and on the grass. Other breath
ing places were as densely occupied At Battery
Park there was a faint imitation Of a breeze,
but none Of the other parks enjoyed even this
distinction. In the small parks in the middle
of the city, such as Hamilton Fish Park. Five

places, the air sitting Policemen, who are
men. although they do wear a uniform and are
obliged to appear hard at times in the per-
Torrance of their duty, refused to see the peo-
pie who did not keep off the grass. and looked
the other way when they passed women and
children sitting under the trees on the sacred
herbage.
In Central Park the rule Is to clear out all the
visitors at IL o'clock at night Last night, how
ever the rule was not enforced and the people
who sought refuge there from the suffering
that awaited them in their own homes were
allowed TO remain all night If they wished to-
and many took advantage Of the opportunity.

RELIEF IN TENEMENT HOUSES.
Extraordinary preparations have been made to
relieve the sick and suffering in the tenement
house districts a special corps Of physicians
has been sent 20 work among the poor by the
Board of Health, and private charities are ac-
tive in the rescue work. All that can be done
is needed, and there will still be many who need
help who will not be reached. Not few men
passing through the crowded districts yesterday
and observing the suffering people look long
ingly at the ice wagons, put their hands in their
pockets and bought pieces for some who could
not buy for themselves.
The worst of 1t is that relief is in sight.
The forecast is for continued warm and fair
weather to-day. and probably Wednesday.
Winds will be light to fresh.
