Dear Mr.. Layton: One of your

Delaware, who is a large manufac-

us of the very splendid work done by
you in the House of Representatives
for the kid leather manufacturing in
dustry in the matter of freeing goat
skins from the proposed import duty.
hYou doubtless have been informed
by your Wilmington friends of the
extent of our industry. its dependence
on foreign countries for 80 per cent
of the raw material, and what the
imposition Of such a duty would mean
to the industry in view of the very
greatly reduced cost of foreign pro-
duction.
.We thank you on behalf Of the
members of our association for yoNr
very able and excellent work in pro-
tecting this valuable American in

Increased Salary of ST.

The selection of city superintend-
ent of schools, which may take place

ton on Wednesday evening, is likely
to result in a split in the board, &C
cording TO well authenticated rUmors

among whom are three who were
members of the old board, favor the
selection of j. +, Downs OF Harris

brs have not declared themselves for
him.
Prof. Downs wants a salary of
IS, 900 yearly and a contract for Eve
years, according to report This is
50 900 more than DIR. Scott received.
The $4,000 is not TO begin at the start,
but as soon as he proves that he is
the man for the job, so the report
goes.
According TO the best information
obtainable, there is no disposition on
the part of the three members who
are said TO oppose Prof Downs, 10
naming any one man as a particular
choice of theirs, but they are not pre-
pared TO vote for Downs.

London, August development IN
the peace negotiations between Prime
Minister Lloyd George and leaders OF
the Irish Republicans are imminent,
Il was reported here today. but gov
eminent leaders refused to lift the
veil of secrecy. There were certain
deductions made from the arrival IN
Dublin yesterday morning OF Art
O'Brien, president OF the Gaelic League
In London, but they could not be
verified
One rumor was to the effect that
Mr.. O'Brien was the courier who
would take the Sim Fein reply to Mr..
Lloyd George, while another story de-
clared that Eamon dc Valera would
himself return to London during the
coming week. and that Sir James
Craig. the premier of Ulster. was also
coming to this city.
It also was reported that members
Of the Irish Republican parliament
which has been expected to meet dur
ing the coming week have made prepa-
rations TO receive a sudden call to
Dublin, and the British government
was declared to be ready TO relea sc
lHlpTlsOnen members OF the ttepuDtl~

ing appraised of the date upon which
the parliament would meet.
1t was admitted in Sim Fein quar-
ters t1at there were differences Of
opinion among members Of the Re-
publican parliament respecting the
concessions to be demanded from Eng
land
Some members were declared to be
adhering resolutely to the demand for
FUN national independence, and for
this reason predictions were made to
the meeting Of the parliament that
would probably develop some stiff oppo-
sition to the leaders. who were repre-
sented as being resolved 10 adopt a
compromise measure.
1t was maintained. however. that Mr.
de Valera and his immediate collea eues
retained control Of the situation. and

mise against -tne demands OF Ex-

JULY WAS HOTTEST
MONTH SINCE 1876
Mercury Recorded a Maximum
Average of 80 Degrees Plus
for Forty Days.

July's exit occurred yesterday in a
torrid wave OF heat that made life al
most intolerable, clinched her claim
and set her record as the hottest July
since the summer of 1876. The month
took her departure in a flare of heat,
the mercury noting 30 at the hot
period of the day.
Everybody who has fumed and fret
ted at the heat that has persisted for
the last forty days declare that the
almost six weeks just past have been
the hottest ever recorded in this sec
tion. but they. OF course, do not re-
member the summer of Centennial
year, which was far away the most
grilling that even the grandparents of
the oldest inhabitant" might have re-
called. The heat then began early in
June and fingered almost without
break until towards the middle of
September. and before the grateful
chill of autumn had arrived nearly
everyone was wearied and exhausted
from the long strain. 1t is recalled
that distinguished visitors to the Cen
tenniai Exposition at Philadelphia
gave up many of the ceremonials and
fell by the wayside under the soaring
rays of the sun, and Don Pedro, who
is remembered as having come directly
and well asoned from the tropical
heat of Brazil, was compelled to forego
some of the functions arranged in his
honor and permit himself 10 be car
ried away TO the Elbron cottage of the
late George w. Childs. the amiable
host, being deeply concerned that
some mishap might occur TO the big
gest social lion he had entertained
up TO that time. It is further recalled
that some young men to settle a
wager broke some eggs on a stone
doorstep that was long exposed to the
sun. and had registered an efficiency
almost equal to the old-time kitchen
stove. and that the whites of the eggs
showed as if the frying process had
been complete.
Many of the thousands of guests
who came to Philadelphia for the
Centennial. came here for quarters, an
overflow from the Quaker City hotels
and boarding houses, and they, think
ing they were experiencing normal
weather. gave Philadelphia and Will
mington the bad repnte of being the
hottest cities of North America,
characterize ton not deserved for the
reason that it is in no wise true.
