It will doubtless surprise a good
many persons who have suffered more
or less inconvenience from heat to
learn that high temperature is bene-
fetal rather than harmful to human
life. This is the averment lately
made in London newspaper by an
English physician, DR.. H. H. Riddle,
and it is unquestionably supported by
vast amount of careful statistics and
an imposing array of scientific au-
thorities. There is no foundation for
the current opinion that the heart and
the lungs bear most of the stress OF
hot weather. The assumption seems
to be based on supposed analogy
between a human being and a dog.
which latter VIGOROUSLY pants when
overheated. There is no such anal
ogy, for the reason that human beings
rely chiefly on their perspiratory sys-
tenn to regulate the control of the
temperature of the body. while the
dog, not having perspiratory glands
comparable to ours, has to make
greater use Of his lungs in preventing
his body temperature from being too
much influenced by outside condi-
lions. The truth is. as experiments
in India have shown, that the or
binary Europeans breath rate is not
increased but actually reduced about
one-fifth during his first attempts to
accommodate himself to the heat of
that country. The same experiments
have shown that the hearts action
also is not augmented even in tropical
temperatures. The liver and spleen
Sre the chief sufferers, but even the
congestion which may be caused in
these organs by high temperatures
may be left out OF account by those
persons who are careful about what
they eat and drink

CAPTAIN NEWTON ELECTED
Hartford Spanish War Veteran Heads
 Order by Close Vote.

Boston, Sept 3.--The fifth annual encampment of the United Spanish War veterans which has been in ses- sion here this week came to close late to-day at a most sensational ses- sion over the contest for the election of officers.
 Following the first ballot for com mander-in-chle it was announced that Captain Charles A. Simmons of Rochester, N. r., had been elected by one vote over Captain Charles R. Newton of Hartford, Conn. The an- nouncement of the total number of votes, however, revealed the fact that five more ballots had been cast than had been checked off. The ballot was declared illegal and the convention be- came uproarious. Commanders in- Chief Hale threatened to have certain members removed from the hall, and upon the statements of both candi- dates that neither wished to profit by any complication and only wanteG fair treatment, the confusion subsided
 A second ballot was taken, which resulted in the election of Captain Newton, who received 1S2 votes to 173 for Captain Simmons.

ACCOUNT ACCEPTED
Judge Studley Settles Bishop Controversy So Far as Pro-
 bate Court Goes.
APPEAL TO SUPERIOR NEXT
Fight of One Brother Against Other One of Longest Fought In Pro-
 bate Court Here.

By the decision of Judge John P Studley in the probate court yesterday afternoon that court washed It's han Is of a case which has been longer on its hands and more persistently fought before it than any case in many years Judge Studley yesterday handed down decision accepting the supplemental or corrected administration account of George H. Bishop in the estate of his father, Richard l.. Bishop of the Peck X Bishop company. This set ties the case so far as tho probate court is concerned, but it was stated by each side in the case that whatever the outcome the case would be ap- pealed to the superior court, and this makes 1t evident that the case is still far from actual settlement.
 Richard l.. Bishop died in 1890. and his son George II. Bishop was named as administrator of his estate, which was a large one. He filed an account in 1890. and the account was accept cd by the court. and the matter sup posed to be ended. But about mid winter last year brother of the ad- ministrator. Charles R. Bishop, made the claim that in settling the estate the admnistrato tor had held back cer- tain items amounting in all to about $S,000. He insisted that the brother file q corrected account, and as re- suit a new account was filed on Jan uary 21 of this year In order that the two sides to the question might have a chance to prepare their cases the court set the hearing on the ac- ceptance of the account for May 5. Since then the case has dragged with long hearings every little while. some of which lasted two days. There were no less than eleven postpone ments of the case, which was finally completed last month,
 A peculiar feature of the case is that while the administrator went on the stand. and swore to his state nnents the brother who took eXcep- ton to his handling of the estate, did not go on the stand and make his accusations in court, and on this account 1t was supposed that the de- cision would probably be for the ac- ceptance of the account. Thus, ic- spite the months spent upon it. the probate court has probably not sot- tied the case finally,

ORDERS CITIZEN OUT OF HEARING Controversy Over Remarks De- rogatory to Fifth Ward Re suits in John Lanes
 Eviction.
FIGHT ON KENDALL LAND
Brewing Company's President Offends Warders by Remarks on Unde- sIrability of People from
 That District.

Something that almost assumed the appearance of a conflict at arms oc- cured last night at the meeting of the aldermanic committee on streets which was assembled to hear peti- tions for new streets and principally for crosswalks and other little im- provements. One of the matters which was scheduled for the meeting was the project for the cutting through of new street near Granniss Corner on land of N w. Kendall of the Yale Brewing company and which he has offered to the city for a park. This same project. which asks for a street from Stiles street to Forbes avenue came up before the board last year and failed of passage. Last night MT Kendall appeared as before to op- pose the plan. In the course of his remarks MT. Kendall referred to the settlement of the land In that neigh borhood of Italian families and resi- dents whom he specifically named as coming from the Fifth ward He characterized them as undesirable cit- izens for the community in that sec ton and used this as an argument against allowing the street to go through on the ground that there would be still greater emigration of this class of citizens to that section when building lots were made there.
 John Lane, who happened to be present, took decided offense at the sur case upon the Fifth ward and he remarked that some of the people from that ward who had gone over 10 the estate in question were Just as good as Mir. Kendall He started to give further vent to his feelings when Chairman Stanton, thinking the affair had gone far enough. called halt by calling upon the sheriff to eject MT. Lane Mir. Lane, however, left with out that display of authority on the part of the sheriff.
 Alderman Nanacore of the Fifth is a member of the committee before which the hearing was held and while he did not say anything at the meet Ing he expressed strong indignation regarding the remarks about the Fifth ward made by MT Kendall. He said that while poor people they were try ing to do the best they could to make a living and were worthy, respectful ble citizens and even if they were not for tunate enough to he so well to do as MT, Kendall that did not warrant the slurs cast upon them.
 No decision was reached on this matter II being left with several others for personal inspection in an automo- bile ride which the committee plans for tomorrow afternoon. The peti- ton for sidewalks and curbs in Bas- sett street, curblng on Watson street, topdressins of Lyon street grade and walk on Russell street sidewalk and other work on Gamer street and grading at Derby avenue were all pass ed On the petition for grading on Rock Road leave to withdraw was voted.
