TEMPERATURE TAKES
JUST ALTT[E DROP
But Maintains High Enough
Standing to Prevent People
From Catching Cold.

There was noticeable fall in the
temperature III the Northwest yester-
day, especially at the points where ex-
treme temperatures were registered
the days previous. Though there was
a slight relief from the hot weather,
which the weather man promised
would continue, it appears that the
respite was but temporary.
If indications do not fail, the mer-
curry will soar again today The Off
cial report sent out last night conserv-
atively states that today viii be fair.
1t also predicts southwest winds, and,
inasmuch as there is at present a hot
spell prevailing in the section from
which the wind will come, those who
are prepared for a hot day will not
be disappointed.
There was a noticeable rise in the
temperature through the Central
states, particularly in the vicinity of
ST. Louis and Omaha. The wind will
carry the wave in this direction.
Though there were clouds yelling the
sky last night at intervals. the prom
ised rain did not arrive. The atmos-
phere cooled pleasantly on account of
the fresh winds. The fall in the tenn
perature, however, was not great. The
highest registered yesterday was "a,
while the official instruments gave so
as the highest on Tuesday, which was
accounted "scorcher."

LAND BILL PASSES
COMMITTEE STAGE
Result Chcered, Though irish
NationaIists Are Not Fully
Satisfied.

LONDON. July 8.-All the regular
clauses of the Irish land bill pelhs
adonted. the house of commons TO-DAY
took up the newly proposed clauses on
the first of which the government
showed the smallest majority OF the
whole debate. Irish Secretary Wynd-
ham proposed appropriating $25,ooo
annually out of the development grant
to indemnity Trinity college, Dublin
for any loss of income arising from the
sale of land owned by the college. Inc
new clause was vigorously opposed by
the Nationalists, but after long ue-
bate, it was adopted by a government
majority of 63.
Private members clauses were Ethen
substituted and discussed. Mr.. Wynd-
ham nleaded that the house complete
the committee stage of the bill TINS
evening, and all these clauses We're
then withdrawn. Mr.. Wyndham then
moved an amendment to Schedule 1,
providing for the payment to the land
lords of uniform bonus of IL per
cent. This was agreed to, although
the Nationalists plainly intimated their
intention of reopening the question on
the report stage. The BILL as amended,
then passed through the committee
stage and was reported to the mouse
amid cheers.

school at Winona. Mimi, was unable
to be present at the National Educa-
tional associations meetings, but she
sent on brilliant paper, which was
read today before the music educators
department. Its reading made the vast
audience wish she had been present to
receive the p1audits the paper called
forth. She declared:
IF the future of the normal school
graduate is to be more fortunate than
that of his predecessors, the attitude
of the entire teaching profession must
change toward the preparation neces-.
sary for the successful presentation of
the subject. Permit me to suggest that
especially must those highest in office
take more serious view of the uni
versity. Normal and high school need
to unite in an enofE to give a more
liberal course in music to those who
are to assume the responsibility OF
teaching the subject in the schools of
our commonwealth

bassadors and ministers in London,
the majority of the members of the
royal family, prominent representa-
tives of the nobility and the officers
of the American and French squad
rons now in British waters.
The scene was one of splendor which
could not easily be surpassed. The
gowns and uniforms were magnificent
and the display of jewels wonderful.
The king and queen led the royal
quadrille which opened the ball and in
which participated President Loubet,
the Duchess of Devonshire and distin-
guished guests. Before the ball Ad-
miral Cotton, the American captains
and Staff Lieutenant Hussey dined
with the Earl of Selborne, fist lord of
the admiralty, at Whitehall. The din
ner was attended by naval officials.
Lady Selborne being the only woman
present.
The luncheon which the Pilgrims
club will give to the American officers
tomorrow will be one of the most in
teresting functions of their visit to
England. So many representative
British and American officers have sell
dom been seen together. All the navy
and army officers will be in uniform.
Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
will preside. On his right will be Rear
Admiral Cotton and his left Capt.
Prince Louis of Battenberg.
