Barking dogs seem to be uncommonly nu-
merous and noisy in town this summer and
they murder sleep in some parts of this island.
Homeless cats, which were turned out To shift
for themselves when their owners left the city
for the summer also overplentiful. The
dogs and the cats are working havoc among
the rabbits the squirrels and the birds OF Cen
trail Park and the other parks. The Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals should
apply Itself diligently to lessening the hordes
OF four footed tramps. both canine and feline,
which cause so much annoyance and do so much
mischief at this time.

Democratic leaders that their new election law
disfranchising illiterates would affect only a
trifing fraction of the white population of the
state. it appears from the Federal census that
Of the 10000 illiterates in Maryland no less than
5SS0-or 30 per cent-are whites. No wonder
the Democratic machine now urges an abandon

of some scheme to take the ballot from the
negro as such.

In the purchase and sale OF transports, Uncle

sold the pair at auction for total OF less than
$4,000. AS dealer in ships our honored uncle

Why should not those Western railroads whose
trains are sometimes plundered by bandits arm
their engineers and hremen. their conductors
and brakemen and other employees with re-
volvers of the latest pattern? The expense
would not be great. and all the property carried
on the cars including the contents of the
pocketbooks of passengers would be properly
protected. What good reason is there why the
railroads do not take this precaution?

A TRYING SPELL OF WEATHER -
The temperature for the past week has
been very severe, and yesterday and
last night will be remembered by many
as the most trying in all their expert
euces with hot waves. There were &C.
casional cool breezes Saturday night
which rendered sleeping possible, but
yesterday broke fiery, and as the day
god climbed higher aud higher In the
heavens it became apparent that man
and beast would wilt under mis- rays.
The river was still and CLASSY and radi-
ated the heat while the pavements and
streets seemingly grew hot. About the
time the church bells began to ring the
heat was almost unbearable, and many
who intended spending the usual hour
in devotion changed their minds and
remained at home. The brute creation
looked sullen aud miserable. Dogs
crept into the shsde OF houses or In al
leys and snapped at flee, while horses
stamped and kept their caudal appen-
dages In perpetual motion flashing In.
sects. The ministers in the various
pulplts faced seas of fans. and most of
them contracted their discourses on &C.
count of the uncomfortable conditions.
In the afternoon most people remained
under shelter and sighed for relief,
while the PRECIPITATION stood out in beads
ell over their bodies and collars and
cuffs became as limp as dish rags. The
evening wore slowly away and finally
gave place to night which was destined
to be more trying than the day. The
ranks OF church goers were much thin
ner than in the morning, the bulk OF
the inhabitants remaining at home at
tired in neglige garments and as few
Of them as possible. Most people dread
ed enter ing bedrooms and undergoing
the discomforts of tropical night. Lit.
tie children were fretful and added to
the uncomfortable conditions surround
Jog their elders, by tossing and kicking
the hours away. The mercury in dill.
fereut Thermometers ranged from SO to
1902 during the day. This morning
broke with the same sultry conditions
aud with no prospects OF break In the
back bone OF the hot wave.
The heat grew go fierce that in many
instances outdoor employments bad to
be suspended. Umbrellas became as hot |
as though baked in ovens, and exposure
to the SUMS rays was attended with no
little apprehension on the part OF those |
compelled to move about The city. The
work OF gathering local items was es-
pecially trying, Outside Of the orgsn-
cation of Council there were but few |
actual occurrences, and they OF trivial
nature. At noon the mercury regis. -,
