The suffering was intense among
workers in mills and factories and in
the great plants of South Chicago,
while the dwellers in the ghetto and
the tenement districts also underwent
severe suffering. The cumulative ef-
feet of three days of intense heat was
generally felt, and men, women and
children were less able to withstand
the weather than on the first day.
Many in the crowded tenement dis
tricts slept on the pavements or on
door steps, whiA thousands of others
sought the roofs of buildings in the
hope of obtaining some cooling wind.
The last day which exceeded the
maximum of Tuesday was July 81,
1901, when 1O3 degrees was recorded.
This is the heat record of the Chicago
weather bureau since 1871, the first
year shown in the books. In July,
1897, the mercury climbed to 100 de-
grees, and that is the next hottest day
in weather bureau annals.
Last year the hottest day was July
II, with a mark of 81 degrees. while
in 1908 the record was % and in 1902
it was 81 degrees. The record of Tues
day has been exceeded eleven times
since 1871. but seldom by more than
one or two degrees.
Wednesday the crest of the hot
wave was OH the Atlantic coast, tenn
peratures in the West and northwest
having moderated slightly. New York
reported that an area of oppressive
heat, which recalls the recOrd-breaking
summer of 1901, had settled down over
the eastern and New England States,
already having claimed hundreds of
victims and causing intense suffering
to thousands. From all points adja-
cent to New York came the same story
of the hottest day of the summer.
TIE suffering in New York was par
ticularly great in the tenement dis
tricts, where scarcely breath of air
relieved the sitting atmosphere. Thol-
sands who could afford it tiocked 10 the
beaches. but in the crowds that ensued
women and children tainted and men
were overcome, making the trip from
home Il doubtful experiment rs far as
obtaining any comfort was concerned.
To add to the misery Brooklyn was
threatened with Il water famine, while
the whole city was startled by the
prospect of strike of the ice men.
In Boston the thermometer shot up
suddenly in the early afternoon. Re-
parts received at the Hub showed that
the southern part of New England was
the hottest part of the adjacent coun-
try. At Newport, X. L., drill at the
forts and on the warships in the har-
Dor, as we'll as all work which took
laborers into the glare of the sun, was
suspended at noon.
In Pittsburg the temperature was 81
on the pavement, as if was at ALE
gheny City. In the latter town coal
wa agons temporarily abandoned the
coal business and peddled ice from
door to door.
From all points in the country. both
in the East and in the middle West,
canae the same kind of reports, suffer

CHICAGO STRIKE is ENDED.
Big Tie-Up Coliapses and Strikers Seek
Their Old lnhs

The strike of the Chicago teamsters
was declared off Thursday. closing one
of the most important chapters in the
city's industrial history The end was
a stampede on the part of the striking
drivers to get back to their Jobs. Lack
of funds, general dissatisfaction with
the leaders, desertions by hundreds.

who came to an understanding with
their employers. the express drivers
and the department store drivers fell
into line, the three unions that COM
posed the fighting force of the labor
side of the battle throwing up the con-
test The effect was to swing the other
unions around, and the troubles were
given their quietus. The strike fever
had abated.
The coup de grace was administered
late at night by the teamsters' Joint
council itself. which declared tho strike
off and ordered the men back to work.
Strike leaders admitted utter defeat

ed loyal to the union TO apply to their
old employers for work.
The revelations of the one hundred
aid five days in which the strike ran
from start to finish are prophesied by
prominent citizens connected with the
difficulties to mark the dawn of Il bet
ter understanding between the employ
ers and the unions and to mean much
to Chicago commercially The fact that
the strike was won and the teamsters
were forced to seek their old places
without condition is expected to act as
an impetus to business. On the labor
side the strike is expected to be pro-
life in good results. The exposures
made by the grand jury of corruption
among the leaders have already had
their effect, and are expected to place
uniOnism on a safer and more conserv-
ative plane. Sympathetic strikes, it is
predicted, will no longer be a fad.
Although unionism of the legitimate
sort does not suffer by the abandon
ment of the strike. the close of labor
hostilities is considered a death blow
at INSCRIPTIONS leaders.

China Facing Financial Crisis.

A dispatch from Shanghai says: 1t is
stated here that serious financial crisis
may develop, owing to the present condi-
ton of the markets. Several of the best
known firms operating in the city are said
to be affected. The situation is due to the
fact that the markets have been glutted
with imports sent here for sale to Russians
end Japanese, while neither beligerent has
shown any inclination to purchase the
goods, and they have been left on the hands
of the merchants.

House last Friday night. The cast
included Luther Cherry, Clarence

most interesting OF the amatuer
type. The manner in which the
young people disported their his

tremendously cold and it was quite
a compliment to both Manager Rey-

many present to witness the play.
If the weather had been favorable
no doubt every seat in the house
would have been taken. Mrs.
George has toiled patiently for sew

all for the sake Of providing the
opera house with funds to pay on

she succeeded is told in the encomi-

Every part taken was we'll handled,
and the audience was enthusiastic.
1t was not only well done from an
