NEW YORK SWELTERING.

New York, July 19.-No relief but rather promise of more intense heat and even greater suffering came to New York to-day. Even with every park in the city thrown wide open and with practically every restriction re moved, hundreds of thousands have been unable to escape the severest suf- fering. Yesterday. with nearly two score of deaths and ten times as many serious heat prostrations officially re- ported, taxed the facilities of every hospital and like institution in the city. Ambulance surgeons, drivers ana horses, worn down by the terrible heat and the strain of incessant work, were completely exhausted. The horses gave out earlier than the men and compara lively early it became necessary to press police patrol wagons into service as temporary ambulances. Then the hospitals became filled to their capaci- ty and several were forced to an- nOunce that no more sufferers could be taken.
 Although many thousand tenement dwellers availed themselves of the op- portunity given by the open parks to sleep in the outer air. there were many more who could or would not leave their homes in the parched and swell tering lower section of the city. It was from that section that the first reports of death due to the heat came today Before a. III. five fatalities had been reported. Two of the vic tins fell from windows where they were sleeping in hope of getting a breath of air and were dashed to death on the pavement. The others died di- rectly from heat exhaustion. In Brook lyn heat-crazed mother plunged carving knife into her sleeping 19 months old child, killing it instantly, and then made an unsuccessful at- tempt to take her sown life. Her wounds are slight.
 Official figures given out by the gov ernment weather bureau to-day show that the lowest temperature recorded during the last twenty-four hours was at 6 o'clock this morning. The gov ernment thermometer stood at 16 at that hour,. having fallen on an average of one degree an hour during the night. From that time on. however, it began to rise, reaching 17 at o'clock, So at $ o'clock and S4 at 9 o'clock.

LOYALTY TO SOUTH
Martha BuIIoch Roosevelt Angered
PHILADELPHIA Mob.

There are many still in Georgia
who cherish tender memories of the
presidents beautiful, aristocratic
mother, says the National Magazine.
Throughout her girlhood she was a
noted belle, admired everywhere for
her beauty, accomplishments, charm
of manner and strong mentality Dur
ing visit to her sister in Philadel-
phia, she met Mr.. Roosevelt, who was
captivated by the lovely young south
ern girl, and the announcement OF
their engagement soon followed
Fluctuations and regrets were inter
mingled, for many deplored her loss
when the bridegroom rode out from
the north to claim his bride.
Martha Bulloch Roosevelt loved
with ardor her native state, and
mourned with anguish the sorrows
that the war between the states
brought to her people. On one &C.
casion, after hostilities between north
and south had begun and when her
northern home was decorated for
some festive occasion with American
flags, she, to show her loyalty to the
south, displayed from her boudoir
window the confederate flag, which
caused angry sentiments in the crowd
that collected in front of the house.
They demanded the removal of the
flag. She refused when told by Mr..
Roosevelt, and no persuasion from
her husband could induce her to with
draw it. So he made a speech to the
crowd, by this time a mob, told them
his wife loved the flag, as she was a
southern woman, and the mob dis

was exactly a quarter of two, and
feeling nervous, went to the room
where her friends sister was, knock
ed, and presently was admitted. Un-
willing to alarm the young girl, she
explained simply that she had had
al unpleasant dream and requested
to be allowed to sit in a rockingham
beside the bed until morning.
THE next day, at breakfast, the
hostess, who had heard from her
young sister that their guest had been
disturbed by a dream, rallied her
good-naturedly on being upset by such
an airy nothing and entreated her to
tell them about it. After the grue-
some tale was told, the husband quiet
ed her with the assurance that the
dream must have come from some as
sociation of ideas with something that
she had read in the newspapers on
the train, joined with the exaltation
of her nervous system by the excite
ment of the journey, by the visit to
a strange city, and by the joyful meet

"Are you comIno?"

ing with an old friend of her school
days.
THAT day, being indisposed by the
dream and her broken rest, the visitor
did not leave the house, and that
night she had tranquil slumber.
The next morning my patient and
her friend went down town to do some
shopping. They visited four of the
great department stores and several
shops before. they entered the estab-
lishment that is famous for supply
ing almost all the wants of man at
bargain prices. The hour was ap-
preaching for luncheon, which the two
ladies had made an engagement to
take at a celebrated restaurant with
the husband of the hostess, who was
to meet them there and who had
wagered a box of bon-bons against a
good cigar that they would not be
on time. They each had still one
purchase to make, the one in the base
ment, the other on the fourth floor.
So they agreed to separate in order
to save time-the hostess going down
stairs to the housekeeping department
and the visitor going up after some
sort of fancy goods-and they prom
ised to meet again at the front door
as soon as they possibly could.
when the young lady went up by
elevator to the fourth story, she found
that the goods she sought were away
over at the extreme end of that floor.
She fastened to the counter. AS soon
as she had made her purchase, she
hurried over to nearby corner where
there was another elevator shaft AMI
at it she pressed the button. AS the
car was coming up instead of going
down, she laid little package, glove
and her purse on one of the counters
and sat down on stool to wait for it.
In its ascent it did not stop at that
floor. AS it began to come down again
after making a call at the fifth story,
the lady turned around and noticed
that she was the only customer to
go down. Even while she was pick
ing up her belongings from the coun-
ter. the car stopped, the door was
noisily opened, and the operator call
&c out in a rude and husky voice:
Are you coming?'
With a nervous start the young lady

! sandy moustache and it's lost front

stretching his head half way out the

Aroused by his irritated call from
a sort of terror, she cried: No, no

Eskimo Folklore,

The most striking feature of Eskimo
folklore is it's thoroughly human char.
acter. In strict sense of the term,
the bulk of Eskimo tradition is not
mythology, but hero tales, which re-
fleet with remarkable faithfulness the
social condition and religious beliefs
of the people. They treat of visits to
fabulous tribes, of murder and revenge,
of mercy and recompense, of feats of
shamanism and of witchcraft. The SUI
pernatural enters into them, but only
as it enters into the everyday life OF
the people to whom witches, guardian
spirits of shamans, giants and dwarfs
are existing realities. In this sense
most of the Eskimo tales are true tales
taken from life, and show a great
lack of imaginative power. Setting
aside this group of hero tales, there
remain only few entirely disconnect
ed myths. One of them tells how a
woman was mutilated by her father.
who cut off her finger joints one after
the other. From these joints original.

tells of the origin of the sun and

who were taken up to the sky.
