The death record reported from the
big cities yesterday was result of the
intense heat, swelled up list of 325,
of which Greater New York had 2l6.
The number of prostrations were 5SS.
The intense heat of previous days was
repeated. In many localities business
was more or less suspended, especially
in some factories, where the heat was
such that men could not stand it. The
east seems to have suffered more than
the west and in the report of deaths
yesterday from effects of heat Chicago
did not figure. So intense was the heat
in the east, that in the tenement dis
tricts of Pittsburg Monday night,
thousands of people slept on the side
walks and even Oh the brick pavements
of the streets, so that progress through
that section of the city was difficult.
In Nebraska, the drouth has been
broken and the corn crop saved by
heavy rains and the heat is somewhat
more moderate.

THE GERMAN VILLAGE.
At the EIk's Carnival Week After
Next

NcAI.
Since the Inauguration of street
fairs, midways and carnivals many
various entertainments have been
given by Midway companies in the
course of their travels. None however
has obtained more lasting popularity
than the German village provided by
Francis Ferari Midway Carnival COM
pany. It is the usual custom with this
Institution to provide tables and.chairs
for its patrons, and where liquors are
objected to serving of light refresh
ments are substituted for the comfort
of the visitors. It's appointments are
the same as those of any first class
music hall, large stage being erected
in the rear hung with proper scenery
and stage effects. Upon the stage is
usually presented high class vaudeville
entertainment wherein the German
dialect takes prominence. German
comedians, singers and dancers are al
ways on the program with a budget OF
comic songs and sayings. Witty re-
partee and gags are in order while the
best feature is probably the Triolyian
warblers. Love songs of the father
land and the patriotic airs OF Germany
are rendered with vim that finds
quick appreciation among the audi
ence If continuous program is ne
cessary, vaudeville acts of refined ma
ture are produced. The German viii

After the Republicans make a sue
cess of any great policy the opposition
has always had way of swinging
around and acceptil g it, though viru-
lently abusing it while in the forma
tive period. So we find Senator Butler.
W no is chairman of the Populist ma
tional committee, telling that the sill
yer issue is dead, that he never took
much stock in it anyway and that the
large supply of gold has brought about
just the conditions the Populists were
working for. Yet Butler used to con-
denim the gold standard as plutocratic
and join in the cry that the volume of
gold would would never be large
enough to form basis for the money
volume of the world, but that cheap
silver and valueless paper must be
made basis of our money system.

BIDS ON CAPITOL WORK.
They are Opened and are Much Lower
Th an Were Those Recently Rejected.

st. Paul Dispatch
The Butler-Ryan company has ap-
parently secured the contract for con.
structing what are technically known
as the approaches to the new capitol
building. The approaches consist OF
the steps, terraces and balustrades.
AT a meeting of the capitol commits
sion today, bids were opened for this
work.
The Butler-Ryan company was low
est bidder, in one respect, by about
1900.
The bids, which provide for granite
material, follow:
Butler-Ryan company, 1856, 166. SO.
George J. Grant, 1857, 277.
Amberg Granite company, Chicago,
$263, 900.
P. M. Hennessy, $3.50, 925.
George F.. Dix & Co., $26S, 800.
There were numerous other bids, the
contractors evidently entertaining the
idea that the board might be persuad-
ed from its partiality for granite ap-
proaches There were many of them
and they provided for scores of differ
ent combinations. Bedford stone and
Kettle River sandstone in combination
with granite. was suggestion made
by several bidders.
The bids for combinations were not
considerably lower than the bids fol-
granite alone.
1t is not thought probable, however,
that the board will change its choice
of stone. Unless it does, the prospect
is that the Butler-Ryan company will
secure the contract.
The tabulation of the bids will &C.
cupy some time. but if the board de-
cided upon granite as the material, the
award will be announced shortly.
The board passed an estimate of the
Butler-Ryan company for So, 900 on
the general contract, and 81, 9OO 16 on
the dome.
The board continued in session until
late hour this afternoon.
The bids which the board rejected
a month ago, on the grounds that they
were too high, follow:
P. M. Hennessy, 1878, 227; Charles
S. Decks, $500, 600; Butler Ryan COM
pany, 1891, 900.
