Evening journal., 1901-07-03

lied ana angry the sun rose again
to-day, and continued to pour his mer-
ciless rays upon defenseless, swelter
ing humanity. To-day seems just as
hot as yesterday despite the refresh
ing shower or yesterday afternoon, and
the weather man holds out no hope for
the alleviation of suffering caused by
the torrid spell.
Had 1t not been for yesterday'sl
shower, there might have been a more
serious story to relate to-day. AS It is,
people were invigorated by the COOLING
breezes and a Comparatively good
nights rest, and to-day are. better Ell
abled to bear the burden of the intenseI
heat Notwithstanding, the look oil
woe and misery has not fled from the,
faces Of dhOSe one meets. and upon
some the expression Of hopeless resig-
nation is pitiful
But how that shower was wei
comedl People forgot their fears of
the black clouds that loomed up in the
heavens, and Of the shrill wind that
whistled with dark forebodings. Little
thought was given apparently to the
occasional sharp flashes of lightning
and heavy peals of thunder, and per-
SONS remained in the streets until
driven to shelter by the downpour or
big rain drops. a brisk breeze blew all
OF last night, and there has been what
one might term a cOquettish one all
day. 1t has blown hot and cold" so
to speak, but has lacked
the enervating and depressing
sickness OF yesterday. But, for all,
man and beast continue TO suffer, and
relief earnestly and hopefully is prayed
for.
