NEW YORK BURNS IN THE SUN.
Prostrations Not So Numerous Owing
 to Lack Of Humidity.

New York, July 17.-After a respite of two days the hot wave that last week caused scores of deaths and hum dreds of cases of prostration here re- turned to-day with renewed intensity, the temperature being by far the high est of this season.
 The highest point reached was at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the weather bureau thermometer touched 95 degrees. In the streets, however, the heat was much greater, some thermom- eters recording as high as 103 degrees. (
 While the heat was intense, the air was stirred by light breezes and the general suffering was somewhat miti- gated by the absence of the excessive humidity that prevailed last week. It was largely, owing to this that only two deaths directly resulting from the heat twere reported. The total number of prostrations for the whole city was less than fifty.
 There was little diminution of the heat after nightfall, the mercury standing at 81 degrees at il o'clock. There. are no prospects tonight of any relief for several days to come.

TWO MEN SWIM LOWER
 RAPIDS OF THE NIAGARA
GO FROM AMERICAN SIDE OF WHIRLPOOL TO LEWISTON.

Baltimore Man in Twenty-six Min
 utes-Defeats Niagara Falls Op-
 pOnent-FOrmer Nearly Drowned at
 WhirIpOOI-Under Water Fully Two
 Minutcs-StrOng at the Finish.
 Niagara Falls N. r., July 17.-Car- lisle D. Graham, of this city, and Will liam J. Glover, jr., of Baltimore, Md, successfully swan the lower rapids of the Niagara river from the American side of the whirlpool to Lewiston this afternoon. Glover beat Graham by four minutes. The distance of four miles was covered in twenty-six min utes by Glover.
 The start was made at 4:02 p. m. from Flat Rock, which is on the American side. The swimmers did not venture in the upper rapids, where Captain Webb lost his life about seventy-five years ago.
 Both men wore life belts and inflated rubber rings around their necks. From the start Glover took the lead He en- tered the rapids about a minute ahead of Graham. Until the Devils Hole was reached the swift current and roaring rapids had the swimmers in their grasp. About at that point a swirling eddy caught Glover and he was down fully two minutes. His life belts saved him. Graham by this time had gained on Glover, and when the two men reached the end of the rapids just above the suspension bridge at Lewiston there was but little distance between them, Swimming in the swift, smooth current was hard for Graham, but evidently | easy for Glover.
 At 4:2S o'clock Glover was pulled up- on the dock at Lewiston. He was dressed and about fifteeh minutes later was telling his story. Graham had to be taken to a hotel in a wagon and did not leave his bed until late in the aft ernoon. Neither of the men was in- l jured.
 Graham swan the lower rapids twice before, on September +, 1901, and again on August 31, 1902. He is about fifty 1 five years old, while Glover claims to be but thirty-one years.
