the Hartford police court Saturday

YES, 1T WAS HOT,
NO ONE DENIES IT
But There Wasn't a Chance For Dis
pute on That Point All Day
Sunday.

Dame Nature; which has shed tears
almost continually since Spring made
her 1917 debut, took a cruel fling at
her sons and daughters yesterday and
ordered Mr.. Sol, the well known and
popular janitor of the world, to turn
on the heat. Like the average tenant,
the public expressed it's displeasure
and Immediately made a rush for the
seashore, the country-and the ice
cream and soda stands.
Everyone, strange to say, agreed on
one thing yesterday--it was hot. A
careful comb bling of Main street failed
to find man, woman or child who
would disagree with this. Heat was
the main subjects and the more they
talked about it the more heated they
became. The people stated that it
was hot and the conductors on the
trolley cars insisted it was hot. Pa
irons of the Arch street line felt the
heat more than others because they
| were forced to ride part of the time in
! a closed car, which shunted back and
forth between Central Park and the
| end Of the line and which did not re-
lieve the feelings of those who were
cooped up inside. With a few more
| big business days like Sunday, the
Connecticut Company should be
enabled to buy another open trolley
and give the riding public in the
, southwestern section of the city a
chance to live as long as their more
fortunate brethren in other parts.
| The wise man spent the day at
home figuring out his chances of rails
| ing blisters on his hands in the front
line trenches. One ingenious indi-
vidual, who should apply his talents
| to the construction Of U-boat de-
| stroyer, attached the lawn sprinkler
to the bath room faucet, hoped into
the tub with Sunday newspaper and
cigar, dragged the device in after
him and told friend wife to turn on
the cooling stream from Shuttle Mead
ow. Even Edison couldn't beat that
! Another inventive wonder, whose
name is withheld as military secret
because the Kaiser might want to
know it, secured a book on explora-
tons in the polar regions, sneaked in
| to an ice house on the outskirts of the
city and passed the day in blissful
ignorance that his fellow mortals
were slowly being reduced to state
of liquefaction.
| Yes, 1t was hot.

DARKNESS THREATENS
Electric Light Co. To Shut Off Elec-

Paying Back Bills.

Pay up or sit in the dark.
This is the order issued to it's de-

Hundreds of electricity users who

they must pay up or their electricity
will be cut off. The last day of grace

date a representative of the company
will call at the homes Of those who
are tardy in their payments and
disconnect the houses. 1t will be a

oil lamp or the more modern gas. The
company sent the notices by regis
tered mail, thus eliminating the pos

notice was not received.

WAR A PURIFIER
Of WORLDS ILLS
Rev. Father Sullivan Speaks OF
Nations Sins and Says Divorce
Is Americas.

-.
Spiritual eXultatiOn of the world as
a direct result of the war is picture
of the future given in the course Of
his sermon at the o'clock mass yes
terday by Rev. j. Leo Sullivan, curate
at st. Joseph's church.
Rev. Father Sullivan prefaced his
remarks by referring to the lightning
of war which has struck America al
though two years ago such an eventu-
ality seemed scarcely possible to the
man in the street. He also referred
feelingly to the draft and said many
homes would be saddened when young
men marched away, some of them,
possibly never to return.
God has permitted war, Rev. Father
Sullivan said, because many European
nations have turned their backs on
Him and have driven His priests from
their lands. He specified instances
Of England, France, Germany and
Italy as examples Of nations that have
forgotten God in their ambition for
wealth and power.
THANK God, this cannot be said Of
America said the priest feverently.
"Since the time this action was
founded, no federal administration has
permitted the enactment of statutes
discriminating against the church.
America can stand before the Supreme
Tribunal and plead innocent to any
such charge"
But America is not without sin, Rev
Father Sullivan said, and it's besttting
vice is divorce, which Is allowed to
flourish unchecked. However, the
whole world will emerge from the war
better for its purifying fires, he said,
