the $3.50, 600 Mark.

CHICAGO, July 1L-Charles A Spring,
an associate of the late Cyrus H. McCor-
mick and manager of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Company from 1853
to 1883. died yesterday at his home in this
city.
1t was one of his principles that no man
should have more than what he consid-
cred a moderate fortune, and in keeping
his property at the s250.OOo mark, which
he had set. charitable institutions and in
dividuals We're benefited. He gave away
large sums, but in such quiet manner
that few persons were aware of them.
The greater part of Mr.. Springs gen.
erosity helped individuals. Greater, how
ever. than gifts of money was the treat
ment he accorded the thousands of en-
ployes of the Mccormick factories. Ev-
cry man. woman, or boy employed there
before his retirement has occasion to re-
member the general manager pleasantly.
Mr.. Spring was a member of Prof
Swings church and gave literally to its
support. He took greater interest In young
men than in others and it was his de-
light to assist them to useful careers. Mr.
Spring was seventy-five years old at the
time of his death.

tions During the Past Week.

NEW ORLEANS, July 1.-THE record
for the past seven days shows thirty
prostrations and seven deaths from the
heat Most of the deaths occurred Mon
day night. when the thermometer fell
considerably, but there was a marked in
crease in the humidity. One of the mer
who died from the heat was a stranger
supposed to be W. w. Chamberlain, OF
Pontiac. Mich. He died in the police Jail
where he WIS confined by the police under
the belief that he was intoxicated.
Under ruling of the local postmaster
the 10 mail carriers of the city are now
wearing shirt waists. The Postmaster
General-ta few months ago issued an
order allowing mail carriers all over the
country 20 wear them, but at that time
the local carriers had just spent con-
siderable money on summer uniforms
and 1t was declared that no uniform
blouscs drishirt waists could be afforded.
The hot weather of the last few days,
however forced the men to the shirt
waists yesterday.

THE FLEET GOING TO SEA.
End of 1the Squndron's Work at
Camp HigGinson.

NANTUCKET, Mass. July T.-Camp

the tented city is concerned. as nearly ev-
erything is on board the vessels of the
North Atlantic squadron now in Nantuck-
ct waters, and the fleet will sail this even
ing for Newport Coal will be taken on
at Newport and the vessels will go to
sea for target practice. The sea was so
high yesterday that it was impossible to
attempt the task of getting the 5-inch
naval gun aboard ship and several i'm
portant drills have been postponed on ac-
count of the weather. The day was de-
voted 10 hard work for all of the men and
Rear Admiral Higginson was highly
pleased with the work accomplished.
The boat which started for the shore
with the Rear Admiral was grounded on
the sands and four sturdy marines
brought him ashore on their shoulders
the water being waist deep. One of the
launches was driven high and dry on the
beach, but fifty blue jackets soon had the
craft in a safe position.

NEW YORK, July 17.-All things con-
sidered, this trip Of the Deutschland is the
best she ever made. Her quickest cross

coupled with greater heat than London
has known in years. has caused untold
distress during the past twenty-four hours

the first victims. 1t is impossible to get
any details, but 1t is understood that her
Majesty yielded to the oppressive temper
ature and that her :ndisposition was re-
sponsible for her failure to leave Sand
ringham for London as she had expected.
Conservative Englishmen We're shocked
when the judges in the high courts remov-
ed their oppressive wigs. but the conserv-
ative Englishmen were not forced TO de-
eide between the wigs and comparative
comfort and the judges were.
Ice, hitherto a little known luxury in
London, has become a necessity.
