| Yesterday witnessed even smaller
| congregations in the churches than one
week ago. The intense heat was the
| more responsible although many alb
| sent themselves from church attend
ance in the summer In some or the
churches number of the people were
obliged to leave church, the heat was
| so overpoWering. One OF the pastors
| closed services at 11:40 o'clock in the
morning and the closing hymn was
| omitted.
The members Of Adelphi lodge, F. and
A. M, turned out in good numbers last
evening to attend services, by invita-
| ton, at the St. James p. E. church.
The services were specially arranged
| by the rector, Rev. George w. Phillips,
| and were very interesting. The choir
! had prepared special programme OF
| music, which was well rendered. The
| singing was ushered in with the sing
| ing of the professional hymn, Ancient
| of Days" and the occasional hymn
| was Children of the Heavenly King
| Dr. Phillips prepared a special sermon
| for the occasion, which was listened to
with attentive interest
The promise for cooler weather Sun
day was not fulfilled. Saturday night
| the temperature was lower than the
preceding night, and there was hope
! that the partial relief from the excess
| sive heat would continue, but the tor
| rid heat was again in evidence. Inc
| maximum in the shade was 81 and 80,
and in the sun from 105 to ITO. There
was a great exodus to the shore, and
| trolley cars were well patronized. There
are no cooler beaches in this vicinity
| than those of the east shore, and those
| who secured a shady nook at Light
house Point and beyond managed to
keep comfortable There was a good
breeze blowing nearly all day. and no
part of the city was cooler than Fair
| Haven.
That portion of Quinnipiac river in
| the vicinity of the Air Line railroad
bridge is very dangerous for bathing.
M. J. Lauless, who recovered young
Brennans body last week, says the wa
ter on the bar thirty feet or so from
the bridge suddenly deepens to ten or
| twelve feet and the tide flows through
these channels very strong. He says
bathing Is very dangerous there, and
the police should prevent children from
| going into these treacherous waters.
Superintendent Mulvey calls atten-
| ton to the fact that the stamp tax on
| money orders is off to-day by reason
of the new act reducing the govern
ment revenue. Consequently each mon
ey order will cost two cents less than
| formerly. Superintendent Mulvey says
| that many people have not yet learned
| that international money orders can be
bought and cashed at Station A.
