WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR.
Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at ST. Louis.

Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at ST. Louis.
Usually the warmest month of the
year, July proved to be one of the most
pleasant of the Worlds Fair season,
the average temperature being 81 de-
grees, a record lower than that made
by either Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Cincinnati or Chicago. The
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures in st. Louis during July
were just between the extremes re-
corded at New Orleans and St Paul.
cities located at great variance.
August in st. Louis is a month OF
cool nights, and September and Octo-
Der are the most delightful months or
tks year. 1t is that period known as
Indian summer, when the foliage and
birds linger to challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the american con-
tinent is there a spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city, a garden
of blooming flowers and spraying foun-
tains.
st. Louis, like all cities, experienced
several hot days during July. but her
highest temperature recorded was %
degrees against "a degrees registered
by the thermometer at Chicago. On
the same day the mercury rose to 20
degrees in Philadelphia, and scores or
heat prostrations were reported from
New York and Boston.
The relative humidity shows St
Louis to be about normal. Assuming
absolutely no moisture in the atmos-
phere to be zero and absolute wetness TO
be 100, the relative humidities for July,
taken from the records Of more than,
twenty years, Boston shows 10.6, New
York 1872. Philadelphia CSC, Cincin-
natl 64.6, Chicago $3.50 and St. Louis
66.3. The same degree of heat in two
places, with different degrees of hui
midity, would cause it to seem the
hotter at the point of greater density.
St Louis may therefore rightly claim
to be a summer resort this summer,
positively one Of the most comfortable
and delightful places on the map.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug lG--John
w. Kern, Democratic nominee for gov

ed he would honor a requisition from
Kentucky for W. s. Taylor, former
governor, now in exile in lndianapO-

he had no positive assurance that
Taylor would be in Indiana at the
date of his inauguration. In the state
campaign, four years ago, when Mr..
Kern was the Democratic nominee for
governor he criticised. in at least
one OF his speeches, the policy Of the
Republican state administration in
not turning Taylor over to Kentucky
for trial. When asked yesterday what
he would do about Taylor ii ne were
elected, Mr. Kern said
