PHEW! 1T WAS HOT
IT WILL CONTINUE, TOO,
SAYS WEATHER NAN.
Eight Dead and Many Frustrated in
Greater City-Nearby Resorts
Also Suffered.

The heat wave which struck New York on
Monday continued with increased intensity yes
terday. and it was the hottest day Of the sum-
mer June % seems to be the sun gods fes-
tivaI day. for last year the city was similarly
inflicted. and had. what is still worse. old Cen
eral Humidity to help matters along. Yester-
day G H took trip out Of the city. so that
things were not so bad as they might have been
The heat however, was oppressive, and the
people evidently were not able to make due re-
sistance. which accounts for eight deaths and
about a score of prostrations in the greater city
feeble fall Of rain. the tail end OF a Jersey
thunderstorm. tried to help matters. but failed
rlisera bly,. AS usual. the East Side suffered
nlost-ice was dear. tenements crowded babies
in distress and the few breathing spots. the
parks were crowded by women and children
such of the mothers as could leave their stuffy
homes
Some o. the lrcl1iest Of the toilers managed
to get away to nearby resorts. but even at these
there was little more comfort than in the city
At 40 o'clock in the afternoon the official ther-
moneter which always has few degrees the
better Of the street. registered 81 degrees That
was the maximum The minimum was - de-
grees at ) O'Clock. And it will be hot again to-
day so the weather says. even If there
should be a few showers.
