*Not enough to measure.

"Not enough to measure.
Another hot wave set in Sunday, July
14th, when the mercury at the IS Weather
station reached 800. These thermometers
are enclosed in framework of Stats, q
feet each way, and with double, air-spaced
roof, and are exposed in an open lot. The
suns rays strike directly upon the frame
work, but not on the instruments, and there
is free circulation of air about the ther-
mometers. Monday was still hotter, the
mercury reaching $50 in the afternoon. The
average temperature of the "a hours from 6
p. m. Sunday to 6 p. m. Monday was 80
against 77o for the corresponding period
June 9th Monday night the lowest point
reached was 72o. Tuesday afternoon the
mercury reached point which has never
been exceeded and but once equaled here in
40 years, 960. The average for Tuesday was
$40, and for Monday and Tuesday (4S hours)
combined S2.50. A thermometer on the
same premises as the government instru-
ments, but exposed to the direct rays of the
sun, reached 119o. There were no brick
pavements or other heat-attracting condi-
tiOnS.
The temperature ON the street was some
what higher than the government record.
On the sunny side of Church street, ther-
mometers shaded by the awnings, stood at
1909 Monday afternoon. Work on the sew
ers was suspended Monday and in the ship
yard Tuesday. The weather was perfect for
haying and large quantities were harvested.

BASE BALL.
PLAY BALL,

PLAY BALL.
The game is on,
The players ranged about
The battery, the infeld and the out,
Each at his post;
The striker comes to bat,
The umpire calls
Play ball.
The pitcher guides
The balls erratic course;
A crooked path it makes, but O'er the plate
The man at bat
Thrice strikes the empty air
Struck out, he'll still
Play ball.
When next at bat
He hopes to better do:
base hit, or perchance a base on balls
But should he fail
And yet again 60 out,
Faints not, keeps on,
Plays ball.
His turn soon comes
To run the bases round,
And, reaching first, steals second and so on,
Till reaching home
He adds unto the score.
This gives him heart.
Play ball.
If in the box
His station is assigned,
His strike-outs few base hits and base on
balls
Come thick and fast;
He nerves himself the more
Next time to win.
Play ball!
In catcher's mask,
most important place,
The pitchers curves he holds with steady
hand;
But should paSSed halls
Or muffed fouls be his lot,
Brace up! Be firm
When as outfeld,
ShOrt-stOp or on base
He mutfs fly, throws wild or fails to catch
Though bleacherS howl
And his opponents gain
He braces up,
Plays ball.
At seasons close
When av'rageS are made,
Of batting and of fielding the per cent
The scOre-book shows,
And whether in his games
He good or bad
Played ball.
In life's great game
Base hits our score should show,
And frequent runs, with put-outs and assists
In numbers large,
And errors few; to prove
That we have we'll
Played ball.

IN BRIEF. Mrs. Martha Patterson,
last of the children of President Andrew
johnson and who was mistress of the
White House during the johnson ad-
ministration, died July 10th at her home
in Greenville, Tenn. Mrs. Patterson was
born in Tennessee, Oct. 25, 1888. Her
death leaves only five survivors of the
johnson family....A. H. Newell, who
was known as a humorist under the
name of Orpheus C. Kerr, was found
dead in his apartments in Brooklyn, N.
Y, July 10Th. He had been dead for
several days. 1t it believed death was
due to heart failure. Mr.. Newell is
thought to have passed his seventieth
year at the time of his death. He lived
with sister-in-law, who is absent on all
outing at Orrs Island, Me-. The Fore
River Ship & Engine Co. of Quincy,
Mass, have received a contract for
building Seven-masted, steel schooner
designed by B. B. Crowninshield for
Boston capitalists. The hull will con-
tain 2000 tons of material. The vessel
will be 39S feet long. She will be ready
February next. 1.-The details of the con-
troversy between the Steel Trust and
the Amalgamated Association of Steel
Workers are difficult to understand, but
in a general way it may be said that the
position of the steel workers is that it
ought to control the labor in all the
mills and fix the scale of wages. This
apparently the Trust is not ready to
agree to, and hence the strike which be-
gan Monday, and which promises to be
the biggest labor controversy on record.
Immediately 100000 employees will be
affected, and eventually several times
that number. July 3lst, Ohio Demo-
Gratis who believe in Bryan, the issues
which he represents and that the recent
Democratic committee ignored, will as

will not be crowned until June 25, 1902,
