| Hot! HoTTER!. HoITEsT!!. Last week
there was an autumnal turn in the weather
bright, sunshiny days, with brisk breezes
| from the north or northwest-and it was a
very agreeable change from the long-con-
tinued dog day temper ature. Saturday
morning ushered in another change, not so
agreeable. The mercury ranged high early
IN the day and went higher until it reached
| the nineties. The heat penetrated the
houses so that the night brought little re-
lief and Sunday dawned with blazing
aky and a high temperature, which eontn-
ued throughout the day. About this time
everybody began to diyest themselves of
superfuous clothing and light and airy
costumes were the rule. Monday morning
i brought little prospect of relief, and it was
an oppressive night. Tuesday there were
indications of showers, but they did not
reach here and The heat continued At
night the fog came in, cooling the atmos-
phere somewhat, bat high temperature con-
tinued yesterday.
