Working girls in cities, who have to
swelter through the summer in one
stuffy room, would be fortunate indeed
II rich women generally adopted plan
which Boston woman is preparing to
put into practice for the second time.
She has a beautiful home. and when
she went to her country house last
year she offered nve girls the use Of the
city place, together with board and the
services Of her cook, for four dollars a
week each. Imagine the delight with
which they exchanged hall bedrooms
and cheap restaurants for a large, airy
house and perfectly appointed table!
II think" said one of the girls at the
end of the three months. that this is
the very first summer in my whole life
that I have fully enjoyed myself"
These were girls who would have re-
sented any kind of help that savored
of charity" but the gracious deed that
$50 carefully guarded their independ-
ence and their self-respect will be a
happy. helpful memory all their lives
long. Country folk would say that
such an action was "neighborly." Per-
haps at a higher stage Of civilization
people will see the truth more clearly,
and call It simply Christian.

DENVER TRAMWAY TO
ENTER COAL FIELDS

Denver, July 15.-The Denver News
says: The Denver Tramway Company
now throws down the gauntlet to the
Colorado & Southern road and the
Northern Coal Company. The tramway
management has decided to go into the
coal traffic and to transport the coal
which 1t will mine. Plans have been
made to develop properties which It Is
estimated will produce 100000 tons Of
coal a year. This product Is to be
placed on the Denver market,
A tract of land comprising 2.G4O
acres tcu miles northwest of Denver,
was recently secured under lease and
bond with privilege Of purchase any
time within two years. The options
were made out IN the name of ]. II.
Simpson. Assignment of the bond and
lease has been made to s. N. Perry,
president Of the Denver & Northwest
ern Railway Company Ia tramway ell
terprise).
The tract Of land supposed to be un-
derlaid with high class Ignite coal, is
embraced in the Faragher, Bunney,
Stepp, n. A. Tucker and Thomas II.
Tucker farms. The theory is that sew
eral blanket veins of coal will be found
within reasonable depth at dist
ance Of two or three miles from the
mountains. Along the hogbacks four
veins Of coal are exposed, all standing
perpendicular The uplift Of the noun
tains raised the horizontal myers OF
COAL but 1t Is believed that within a
short distance of the range the coal
will be found in Its original position.
This is to be determined by the drill,
and complete drilling outfit was yes
terday set up on the Faragher farm
and work Will be commenced this
morning. 1t is proposed to explore
the ground thoroughly and start sew
eral shafts,as soon as the value Of the
coal deposit is determined. II the
! tramway company does not purchase
the land It will have the privilege of
working the mines upon a royalty for
a period OF twenty-five, years.
The line is to be built into the coal
fields, and the coal delivered by elec.
tric power to coal stations. In Denver
whose locations have rs yet not been
announced. The tramway company
will supply itself with coal, and rs the
company uses $4,000 tons a year 1t Il
estimated that the saving will be many
thousands of dollars. The new power
plant of the company at the north end
Of the Fourteenth street viaduct is be
ing rapidly pushed.

Discussions in the British pariia-

inces, child must attend school until
he is sixteen years old in America he
goes until he is fifteen, and In many
states still longer; but in England
only until he is twelve. The English
child is released from school earlier.

at the expense Of the state than are the
children Of any other nation of the

Kansas City, July 14.-No relief
came to-day to break the. almost unpre-
cedented drouth In the Southwest.
The day was Il repetition of the past
two weeks, with reports for many
places In western Missouri, Kansas
md the territories of temperatures
over the 100 mark.
At most places the sun shone merci-
lessiy, with not even a 6tful cloud to
break Its rays, nor Il slight breeze. In
Kansas City last night proved more
bearable, breeze from the North al-
leyiating the conditions, but day of
Intense heat followed. :
Tonight there Is n prospect of rain
in Oklahoma, but there are no indica-
tions of change from any other part
of the Southwest.
With no relief In sight, the fears for
the crops that have been experienced
daily are fast becoming realities, and
the scarcity of water and generally
dry conditions make the element OF
fire almost serious one.
What the real damage to corn, the
crop most affected, will be is problem
atical, but it is probably safe to say
that half the crop will be lost.
The supply of water is short in al
most every direction and the shipment
Of cattle and hogs to this market to
save them must continue.

ment Thermometer registered 1O2 and

In giving general details OF the ef-
feet of the strike now being ordered,
President SKATER said that the first
order only went to the mills Of the
three companies that have been carry
ing on negotiations. 1t was thought
best that this should be the case. The
order for the others to be called out
is to follow In q circular letter sent to
every lodge Of the Amalgamated asso-
citation in the country where there are
mills of the United Steel Corporation
In operation. 1t would include the
mills of the Fedenal Steel Company,
National Steel Company, National
Tube Company, and wherever there
were organized men employed In non
union plants Of the first mentioned
companies.
He could not give the total number Of
men that would be thus rendered Idle,
but estimated them at 10000 directly.
1t was his intention to have the strike
MS general as possible at the earliest
possible moment, 80 as to force q set.

As soon MS the mills shut down. the

THERMOMETER LOWER THAN
FOR SOME TIME.
MORE SHOWERS PREDICTED
The Fall of Moisture Varies from
Half an Inch to an
Inch.

Washington, July 29-Oficial ad-
vices to the weather bureau are con
firmative Of the press reports of the
prevalence of rains over the corn
belt since last night with cooler
weather than yesterday. During hte
past "a hours rain has fallen very
generally over that section with some
few exceptions, notably, southern
Ohio, Kentucky and southwestern
Nebraska. While not very heavy in
amount the rains are described of
fically as pretty fair for summer
time. At Kansas City there was over
an inch of precipitation; from a quar-.
ter to almost an inch in various parts
of Iowa, in Nebraska rain fall was
fair; in eastern and northern Okla
homa there were some showers and
in Missouri they were quite heavy.
Showers are predicted for tomorrow
east of the Mississippi river and fair
weather west. Temperatures in the
r. belt were generally above 80 de-
grees, but in. some localities they did
not get so high and were not above
IS degrees except in some few To-
calities. For the next day or two
temperatures will be reasonably mod
crate, as compared with those of the
past heated period.
In many sections of the middle
Atlantic states there have been high
temperatures today but in northern
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New
York they we're reduced today as a
result of showers. In Washington
the weather has been exceedingly
oppressive today, the thermometer
registering q maximum Of 81 degrees,
with an unusual degree of humidity
in the atmosphere.
