This. the LIST day of July. has been the
hottest day Of the year At O'Clock this
afternoon tine official thermometer at the
weather bureau registered 100 degrees. At
that hour it was upon the rise. and there Is
no telling what it will be before shutdown.
Furthermore there is no relief in sight.
The weather bureau people very cold
bIoodedly observe that everything points to
equally warm weather for at least three
days more The only thing that can re-
lieve the almost unbearable situation is
rainfall.
The entire country has been scraped and
secured for an indication of rain, but there
Is not a drop In sight 1t is not only hot
weather. but dry weather as well 1t is
possible that there may be a local shower
in this region within the next forty-eight

HEAT TELLING on CREWS.
Oarsmen Mt POuEhkeepsie Suffering
Like Everyone Else.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, July 1.-The
heat which continues as intense this morn
ing as it has been for the past four days,
is seriously affecting the oarsmen- Two OF
Syracuse's men are somewhat under the
weather but expect to be in their boat on
race day. Columbia freshmen crew looked
by this mornings work to have been
weakened, and two of the Wisconsin's men
show the effects of the hot weather. All OF
the crews have lost in weight.
The Cornell boat has averaged Two
pounds loss while in the other crews from
a pound to pound and half has peen lost
by each man. Cornelfs men, however, can
afford to lose some Of their weight, for. next
to Wisconsin, they are the heaviest crew
on the river, averaging fully three pounds
per man more than Columbia, and fully
seven pounds to a man more than syracuse
In their freshmen crew the Cornell men
are fully twelve pounds heavier per man
than any other crew In the race. WlScon-
sins varsity crew is four pounds heavier
than Cornell, and the experts this morning
are using that as an argument that she VIII
land first place in the varsity because they
contend that the, superior weight on the
leverage of the oar will do for her in
four-mie race what it would not do In
two-mile race. The events and the entries
for tomorrow are as follows:
p.m.-Four-oared race. Cornell. Column

Cornell, 1872; Columbia, 15Sla; Pennsyl-
vania. 154A.

unlike the contest at New London, where
the crews had almost similar methods Of
rowing and exactly similar methods Of
training be test of various kinds of train
ing and various kinds of strokes.
Cornell, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have

their own quarters. Georgetown and SYRIA

selected their food under the supervision of
their coaches. Columbia has violated every
known rule Of training. and If she wins any
of the races Tuesday, thus upsetting the
training-table theory. it is likely to cause
revolution in college boating circles Her
men have been allowed to go to a hotel
table and eat anything that suited their
fancy. and they have also been permitted to
use stimulants. thing which every other
coach has forbidden.

Haunted HOlyrOOd.


FROM the London Chronicle.
The frequent mention of the recent
RESERVATIONS in Hollywood does not seem to
have reminded anybody Of the last appari-
ton Of Mary Stuart within the precincts
she is said to haunt. Some twenty years
ago the late Countess Of Caithness, who
managed to combine spiritualism with
Catholicism. induced the Marquis Of Ham
ilton to allow her to pass the night in the
apartments once occupied by Mary Stuart
in which the murder of Rizzio took place
1t was a lovely moonlight night, and the
countess who was very romantic, deter
mined to visit the chapel, which she did by
descending the staircase up which the con-
spirators assembled when they assassinated
Queen Mary's Italian secretary. She pro-
ceeded to the ruined altar before which
Mary was married to Darnley.
Suddenly the apparition of the unfor-
tunate queen appeared before her, holding
her severed head in her hands, and not
withstanding the inconvenience she must
have experienced from this singular posi-
ton of her head gave Lady Caithness
lengthy answer to the charges brought
against her. The countess shortly after
ward wrote small book containing the
information she received, a copy of which
she presented to Queen Victoria, who re-
marked to the late Lady Ely that sit was
very interesting and SO amusing" When
the spirit of the queen had disappeared
Lady Caithness wished to re-enter the
palace, but found the door closed. The
sentinels seeing some one wandering about
in an unaccustomed place at so late an
hour reused the porter. who doubling her
ladyship's account of herself locked her
up for the rest of the night In his lodge.

Toy Pistols and Tetanus.
From the New York Sun.

During the weeks before and after the
4th of July in this country there are every
year nearly 200 deaths from tetanus, or
lockjaw, as it Is commonly called. In and
around New York there were during July
in the last two years about 100 deaths from
the disease; last July in Chicago alone
there were twenty-nine deaths.
Tetanus comparatively seldom occurs at
any other season of the year. Occasionally
the wound made by a rusty nail, or hay
fork farm, is followed by tetanus, but
the favOrite channel of Introduction for
the germ is the wound made by toy pis-
toll, or by exploding fireworks. That is why
the victims of the disease are mainly boys
of from seven to fifteen years Of age.
Every year the glorious fourth brings us
our tetanus epidemic. The germ Of the dis
ease, as was shown by its discoverer, Kita-
sato. the Japanese bacteriologist, will not
grow wherever there is free oxygen pres
ent. Hence the rarity of the disease
where wounds are open Burned wounds.
however. present conditions favorable for
the growth of the tetanus germ. Scorched
tissues seal the microbe from the air and
it grows luxuriousy. Deep, penetrating
wounds, such as are made by a nail. or the
prong OF rake. provide in the depths Of
the tissues beneath the clotted blood SINH
lar anaerObic conditions.

A sunocnting Atmosphere.

On the streets of Washington today 1t
was simply suffOcating There a bit
OF wind stirring but as 1t swept across the
asphalt it absorbed the waves of heat re-
fected from the soft. spongy payements
and blew into ones face with remorseless
fury. There was absolutely no way of es-
Gaping such heat Street car rides were not
effective. and far standing in the
shade was concerned the hot air was so
dense that one might as well have kept
moving. Down by the Center Market this
afternoon a youth was engaged in carrying
a basket OF eggs across the avenue. AS he
got in the middle OF the street one OF the
giobular bits OF condensed nutrition
dropped from his basket and crashed upon
the pavement. The, boy stopped just long
enough to look at It. AS he looked just
suspicion of the milky wilderness of an egg
in process OF cooking presented itself in
that puddle OF white and yellow substance
