ITALIAN MER!cANS MEET

A meeting of the Italian-American
Democratic Club of Jersey City was held
last Thursday night at No. 1888 Third
street, and Notwithstanding the extreme
heat, a very large number of enthusiastic,
patriotic Italian-Americans were present.
The hall was beautifully decorated with
the Stars and Stripes and an immense
italian flag entwined as an expression of
the unity of interest between the two
countries. There were several eloquent
speakers who talked at length on the inn
portance of concerted action on the part
of all true Democrats
Mr. Frank D'Amato spoke at great
length, praising the leadership of Robert
Davis and his untiring efforts for the well
fare of the Italian residents of Jersey
City He urged every unnaturalized Ital-
ian to come to the front without delay
and express his intention of becoming a
citizen of this country.

POLICE TRY TO KEEP COOL.

The unusual sight of policemen carrying
their coats over their arms was wit
messed this morning early by those who
were kept up by the heat. This may
sound strange, but 1t is true nevertheless.
The rules are very strict regarding dress.
The men are not allowed to unbutton
their coats in any kind of weather. But
there is not man who does night duty
who does not cast the rules to the winds
this weather.
The police are ordered to take the best
of care of persons who may fall victims
to the heat. Warden Osborne outlined the
treatment to a News" reporter last week,
advising, the police and others to use lots
Of ice ON the head and chest of patients.
Should the victims get cold, stimulants
a re to be used

HOT and NO WATER.
Main Burst in West Hoboken
Yesterday Afternoon.

While the sun was beating down yes
terday with merciless severity the 1000
residents of West Hoboken were left
inch main leading from the reservoir of
the Hackensack Water Company. In
tense suffering was inflicted upon women
and children by the accident, which took
place at P. M. The Town Council held
special meeting last night to discuss
measures of relief, and there was a crowd
of hundreds in front of the Town Hall
while the meeting was in progress
S. A. French, superintendent of the
Hackensack Water Company, said at the
meeting the cause of the accident had not
been learned and that the point at which
the giant main burst had not yet been
located.
The break came at some point under
ground, and the company's engineers
were trying to locate it last night. Mr..
French told the West Hoboken Council
that he was confident the leak would be
discovered during the night, and that re-
pairs would be finished by noon today.
News that the great main had burst
spread rapidly, and the fact that seven
thousand persons had been left without
water on the hottest day of the year
promptly arrested the attention of the
thirsty. Within few hours farmers and
others living in near by places loaded
barrels of water into wagons and started
for West Hoboken. Many water vendors
soon appeared from Hoboken, Jersey City
Heights, Union Hill, North Bergen, Wee
hawken and other points, and ready
market for water at ten cents gall
lon was found
The bursting of the main is attributed
| to electrolysis.

All the Temperatures from midnight to
8 O. clock were on an average five degrees
higher than the temperature for the same
hours yesterday and there @was every
reason to believe, so the meteorologists
said, that all heat records would go before
sundown today. The records of the local
weather bureau go back thirty years.
They chow that on September z, 1881, a
temperature of 100 degrees was registered.
They show that on July g. 1876, there was
a temperature .of SO degrees, and these
figures were given out as the top notches
reached by the mercury on any summer
day and any July day up to today. The
weather men spoke very hopefully this
morning of supplanting these records to-
day. Yesterday, with its maximum of IS
degrees at $40 o'clock in the afternoon,
established record for July and came
very close to the more interesting figures.
Along the docks in Hoboken where the
longshoremen were busy with the cargoes
of and for the big German ships the men
were forced to work in tricks, an hour on
and an hour off. The heat was too great
for even these men. On the streets horses
were overcome, and drivers bound for the
Heights back of Hoboken had to abandon
their trucks and lead their horses to
shade, not daring to risk the pull up the
hill after a dozen horses had dropped
on the various streets.
The heat Of last night did not seem to
interfere with bicycle riders for the
Boulevard was well filled with these en-
tnusiasts There is no doubt that the
sport was trying on all riders but they
seemed to stick to their task we'll.
Traffic on the Bayonne cars was very
heavy last night Extra cars were run
at short intervals and every car was
crowded going both ways. Never before
has traffic been so heavy during hot
weather Those who sought cool places
by the water were disappointed. 1t was
just as warm on the water as on the
shore Not breath of air was stirring.

Kings Long-sought Photograph.

After waiting about twenty years the
King has come into possession of photo
graph for which he has sought ever since
his marriage to Queen Alexandra, says the
Sussex Daily News 1t is photograph
of the Queen herself as che was just be-
fore the King first met her. 1t is said
that for some reason only one copy re-
mained undestroyed, and this could not
be traced until twenty years ago, when it
was accidentally seen by a high parsonage
at Court in the album of a well known
society lady. The latter on being ap-
preached was not disposed to part with
the prize even to- the King, who, wen
turning over the album which contained
it from time to time, used jjokingly to re-
fer to 1t as my portrait Since he as
cended the throne it IS understood that
the owner of the photograph has sent 1t to
Windsor.

Death of a Noted Fenian Leader

Dublin, March 29.-James Stephens,
for many years the most conspicuous
figure 10 the Fenan movement for the
Liberation OF Ireland, died today. The
agitation was begun by Stephens 10
1858, and 10 1854 enlstments and secret
drills took place. Stephens was Irish
"head- centre" of the Brotherhood. He
was captured and imprisoned in No
vember, 1865. but escaped from jail 10
the same month. He came to New
York in 1866, and the Fenisn move
ment against Canada soon followed.
He sailed from America In November
of the same year. He made his head
quarters in France for number of
years until he was expelled from that
country. He was afterwards permitted
to return to Ireland, when the consliiu-
tionsl movement for home rule took
the place oil revolutionary agitation.
