was a man with no shirt at all, while | another had one sleeve left. A third man, who did not happen to be stop ping at the hotel, had lost even his undershirt and knew not which way to turn. A closed carriage and a swift duck across the sidewalk was his only recourse. While the original victim Oi the heat wave was seeking an opening 1 in order that he might retalliate or some of his friends he was again seized and the new shirt was soon in rags He left the scene of revelry this time for good.
 On the following day the Phoenix merchants sold more shirts than any thing else and wondered why. The sale was phenomenal. Such a scene of pan demonium as this among well ordered sober and sane citizens could not oc- cur in cold weather, nor would the fol- lowing little incident be likely to hap pen at any other time than just when it did on one of the hottest days of the summer.
 In one of the harness shops of the city is a genteel clerk whose manners. especially toward the feminine sex, are dlNdNS llIllIldNultlt- "A Ni'i t3N lii*tii could not be milder nor gentler in his speech. and as for strong language this man was never known to use it but once.
 After series of those sizzling days which make one feel he has little to look forward to in a future life, the polite clerk began to feel the effects of the continuous temperature. One of those afternoons when a man hasn't nerve enough to look a thermometer in the face a woman came into the shop. She had driven in from the country and on the way broken the harness. She wanted the young man to come outside and fix it. He bowed politely. said he would be glad to, and got his awl. needle and thread. He found he could make the repairs with -out removing the harness from the animal and proceeded with the work while the sun slowly turned him to a crisp. He got on his knees under the horses stomach and sewed away at the torn leather while the great sweat trickled down his spine and dropped from his face into the dust of the street A quarter of an hours work of that sort COmpielelN eNilduSteu nm and he sighed with relief when he rose from his stiffened knees and went back
 in the store.
 How much is it?" asked the woman.
 His usual charge for similar repairs was the small sum of 10 cents and he did not add to the charge just because he had to work in the terrific sun and would gladly have paid anyone else % cents for doing it for him. So he replied politely. 10 cents, madam.
 But the woman was one of those who has business system from which she never varied
 The job is only worth cents" she said in an acid voice, at the same time laying a nickel on the counter.
 The polite clerk, who had never in all his life addressed q harsh word to a woman. wiped away some of the per spiration from his face and handed her back the nickel. Madam" he said in voice that made even the proprietor tremble. you take that nickel and go to hell with it."
 It was the heat: that's all.

WRECK OF MAINE A MENACE.

Naval Committee FavOrs Removing
Obstruction in Havana HarbOr.
A. the meeting OF the Naval Committee
yesterday the bin introduced by Repre-
sentative Loud. OF Michigan. appropriate
ing $4,000 to begin the work OF raising
the wreck Of the battle ship Maine from
the 1Sarbor of Havana was reported.
The committee amended the measure so
as TO make the limit Of cost Of the rails
ing of the Maine 10000.
The action of the committee was based
upon a report Of the Secretary OF the
Navy. who said that the wreck was a
menace to navigation
Ever since the Spanish-American war
efforts have been made TO induce Congress
TO transfer to the United States for IN
terment the remains of American jackies
who lost their lives through the destruc-
tion OF the battle ship.
There were limitations at one time that
the government was disposed to move IN
the matter, fearing that an inquiry wor'd
disclose that the battle ship was wreci,-d
by an internal explosion rather than b,-
a mine laid by unfriendIy hands, as Is
believed. The truth of these reports vas
promptly denied by naval officers.
Naval officials say that sixty-seven
bodies are buried I'm the wreck Of the
Maine. Under the terms of the bin re-
ported yesterday. these bodies are to be
brought TO this country and inferred in
Arlington National Cemetery with mill
tary honors.

According 10 the unchallenged reports
Of the public press" said Senator Cum
Minis. certain gentlemen. namely. the
Attorney General. the Solicitor General.
the Secretary Of Commerce and Labor,
two members Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and a Representative in
Congress met in New York on August 80
last TO consider and put in the form of a
bin the views which the President of the
United States had at various times ex-
pressed with regard TO amendments OF
the interstate commerce law. The report
Of his supervisory and unofficial commits
sion was printed for the confidential use
OF the President, but 1t quickly became
public property. and was In the hands of
the railroads even before it reached the
President"
Nearly every important railroad presi-
dent in the United States visited Wash
ington and was heard by the President
and the Attorney General In opposition
TO certain features OF the proposed bill.
The place for them 10 have laid their OBJ
jecuons should have been before the In
terstate Commerce Committee. It was
a significant fact that In the hearings
before the committee only one lone rail-
road man had said word against the
measure. although they had filled the
committee room every day at the hear
ings.
Senator Cummins talked for some time
depTecating such methods. and declaring
that the consequences would be disas-
trous. He will continue his attack upon
the bill to-day. and when he gets tired
there will be other insurgents to relieve
him.

State endeavor to put out fire raging

threatens TO engulf the residences Of a

effort TO compel the municipal officers TO
