Terrific Heat at New York Leaves
Trail of Death,

AEdtA OE DGaLhs
New York was like a fiery furnace
Monday. A brazen sun poured scorch-
ing rays upon the great city, brought
death and desolatiOn and almost succeed
ed in paralyzing commerce and industry.
Only three times in the thirty-one years
that the United States government has
kept a record has the official thermometer
gone higher than it did Monday. The
government observatory, Oh the top of
one of the highest buildings in the city,
with nothing to ObStruCt any breath of
air that stirs, sweltered in the afternoon
with the Thermometer at 9S degrees, while
on the street the mercury marked Ill de-
grees. Twice in former Julys the official
temperature has been higher-on July 9,
1876, and on July 3, 1S9S-when it was
80 degrees. The only occasion when the
100 degree mark has been reached was
in September, 1881.
Ninety-fOur persons died from the eff
fects of the heat, and the ambulance ser
vice proved inadequate to remove ali who
were Frustrated in the streets. The
deaths reported do not nearly represent
all lives sacrificed by the sun, as very
many deaths are attributed to other
causes, though the heat IS really response
bic OF the persons Frustrated many are
beyond the hope of recovery, while others
will suffer from the effect for years.
The effect upon business was more Sc
rious than the usual panic, and sales in
many of the large establishments fell
fully so per cent below the normal fig
ures for this season Of the year. The ice

be trimmed with black lace, and the
scheme is a fine one. The green is the
most delicate shade to be had.
The all-oYers are made into fronts,
panels, side pieces, yokes and collars and
are used on all kinds of material. Many
gowns are made with side and front
panels Sometimes the body of the waist
is lace. or yoke and vest are lace ana

often with applications of cretonne OF

the picture is seen an all-over princess

When collars are worn with these gowns,
the lace pattern may match that used on
the rest of the gown, or handsomer
lace may be used.

BOLT STAYS ELEVEN.
LIGHTNING STRIKES PIER WITH
FRlGHTFUL RESULTS.
Boys, Youths and a Man Comprise the
Victims-Boiies Found Twisted In-
to Hideous Shapes by Force of the
Electricity.

Six boys and FIVE men were instantly
killed shortly after noon Monday by
lightning bolt that struck an old pier,
short distance north of the marine hospi-
tai in Chicago The victims ranged in
age from II to 10 years.
When terrific storm broke over the
city the lads and men Sougat refuge I'M
der a zinc-roofed shelter at the end of the
pier nearest the shore. A party of twelve
was crouching in the narrow space when
the bolt of lightning struck the root.
Eleven were instantaneously killed. The
twelfth one, Willie Anderson, had mar
velous escape from the fate of his com
panions He was made unconscious by
the shock, but fell underneath the others.
He revived in few minutes, and called
for help. The bodies of all the victims
had to be removed before Anderson was
reached. He was taken to the hospital
and VIII recover.
A majority of the boys who met death
so suddenly had left their homes to go IN
swimming. The beach at the pier is slop-
ing, and lads can wade out some distance.
The pier is known as Robbins pier, hav-
ing been built by Burr Robbins, the old
circus man, whose residence is near by.
The place is also a favorite fishing
ground.
The fierce thunderstorm which came up
about 1915 o'clock, accompanied by wind
and lightning flashes, drove the timid
ones in the crowd on ana about the pier
to the little hole in the timbers, which
some fishermen had used in past seasons
as a lodging place. The cavity was roof
ed with zisc, one Of the best conductors
of electricity known. The bolt struck
squarely on this roof and ran dowr cn6
ir9n-studded. timbers iSjH2 the, huddled

In the history of lightning strokes cost

The democratic Danger.

The effect upon the Democratic party
OF the South, of legislation looking to
the elimination of the negro from poll
tics, is looked forward to with the gray
est sense of danger by Democratic lead
ers whose thoughts extend beyO@d the
mere gaining of an office to-day. Two
evils they foresee. One is the moral
certainty of the South losing in i'm
portance by having its representation
cut down in Congress and in the Elec-
tOral College; the other. the possible
consequence of the Southern white peO-
pie dividing and fighting on political
lines as soon as the fear Of black domi-
nation is removed by the elimination of
the negro as q voter.
Congressman Livingstone, Of Georgia,
and Ex-Governor Oates, of Alabama,
are among the Democratic chiefs who
foresee these dangers and have raised
their voices to sound the alarm. So
far they have been unheeded 1t is not
certain that their stand will call halt.
The men who make laws, themselves
and representing the Office
holding class, take no thought of the
morrow. 1t is popular row to move
against the negro. To go with the cur
rent is easier than TO oppose it.
Charles Sumner and Thad Stevens.
far-seeing as they were. committed the
blunder of making voters of negroes
and adding to the political strength of
the South almost as much as was rep
resented by the addition OF the negroes
to the white population. They thought
the negro vote would hold the South
ern States Republican. with the help of
the white Republicans in those States.
Their error lay in not taking account
Of the truth that a solid negro party
would compel a solid white party. and
array the political forces along ethno-
logical lines. The aedsl votes Of the
Southern States due to the enfranchise-
ment OF negroes gave the Democratic
party control Of Cong ,ss and enabled
il 10 elect Cleveland the first time DE-
franchising the negroes means the sub
traction Of their representation il Con
gress-and this representation is ex-
pressed in Democratic terms.
The Democratic leaders in the South
who perceive these dangers and do not
err out against the present tendency
are failing in duty TO their people

A correspondent in the fruit district
of New York, who for twenty years
has been growing apples, writes that
after a thorough trial he is convinced
there is no money in apples. Another
correspondent located less than twenty
five miles from the first, and known to
have made money in apple growing,
was communicated with. The reply told
the story. The man who gets but 70
cents Il barrel for apples is in the habit
of growing anything he can raise be-
tween the orchard rows. He neither
trims. prunes, sprays nor thins. and
his apples are of the poorest grade as
a consequence. The second correspond.
ent last year sold his apples and net
ted a trile less than $3.50 per acre from
his twenty-three acres, aud admits that
some of his neighbOrs have made even
I better showing. Apple growing does
pay if growers will do what is neces-
sary to raise fruit of the best possible
quality, and it assurediy does not pay
if tine grower negIects his orchards.

Feeding DISH Water 70 swine


The object of feeding dish-water is,
of course. to give the pigs the benefit of
the greasy foods which have been used
on the plates. So far this is not obiec.
tionable. but when it is considered that
the soap used in washing is usual
ly of the rankest kind, that is, strong
in I've, it ought TO be readily seen that
such water can be of no possible bene
fit to swine, but, on the contrary. is
likely to prove injurious. There are
many cases on record where sOapy dish
water used to moisten the food given
mother pigs shortly after narrowing
has killed the young. If the proper
grain foods can not be given in the va
riety wished. at least the SOW may be
put into a lot where she will get some
grass to exc out the short grain RI.
ton, and this grain ration can be mixed
when necessary with skim milk at
slight expense, or even with clear wa.
ter. which is preferable to dish-water.
