It Will Be Cooler Friday Night Unless All Signs Fail and the Atmos- phere Is Dry and Pleasant. It’s not so warm. Just think of the irtertor of a refrigerat- ing chest, just recall how cold [t was for a week last winter, just read a book on polar travel and you wil] agree with the state- ment. . When Dr. Frankenfield arrived at his office and eaw that the mercury had touched 84 degrees at 7 o'clock, he deived into the books and announced that a record had been broken. On no other June day gince the Weather Bureau established an office here has the temperature been 60 high at that hour. But once has the mer- cury touched a higher point at 7 o’clock. (88 WHATHER CUTS SOME ICE WITH That wae during the hot spell in August of last year, when the thermometer etarted in doing business at 8. Dr. Frankenfield thought that with & as @ starter the maximum temperature of Thursday might be exceeded, but at 9 oclock the wind shifted to the west north- wrest and some clouds ewept up from be- low the horizon, lazily drifted across the face of the sun at intervals and broke the force of his rays. The weather observer said this shift of wind and the clouds would prevent the mercury going very far up in the nineties, till he @ald there would be a fair article of heat in the afternoon. At 10:30 there was another shift in the wind. It veered to the south again, but as Che clouds were thick the observer did not A HOT PLACE ON A HOT DAY. believe the heat would quite equal thet of Thursday. Chicago, which ts usually a blast furnace when oompared with the Mound City was enjoying an invigorating breeze from off e Michigan and a temperature of 56, which was a drop in twenty-four hours from e In Row York it was & and in Washington the same, both cities being fanned by an east wind, salt-laden from off the ocean. Denverites were chilly, with the mercury at 46, and at Lander, Wyo., there was a frost last night and a temperature of 4 Friday mater + Dr. Frankenfield was asked what he had in store for St. Louisans and this is what he ead: “Te will be a little cooler to-night and warm again to-morrow, but not as warm as it was ursday. If the wind keeps on shift- ing as it has this morning we may catch a thunder storm this evening that will cause the mercury to fall a few degrees lower than if no rain should come, but we will not have a decided drop in temperature, such as nas occurred in other cities.” “What about those thunder storms you have predicted the last three days?" “Oh, please don't say anything,” he said, holding up both hands. “I have apologies to offer, but no explanations, They should have come here but they didn’t.

Dr. Frankenfield thus rambles on for hours while seated in his breezy office high up on the Federal building. His optimism is re- freshing. The doctor also has a thermom- eter which persists In recording 90 degrees when in instruments on the streets the mer- cury is near the meget | mark. ” One nice feature of this hot spell is the dryness of the atmosphere. The humidity has kept below normal. It’s the humidity, that causes more trouble than extreme heat. Out in the San Joaquin Valley, Cali- fornia, the mercury frequently dwells \ prostrations around 120 degrees, but heat are never heard of. It’s when the pores are stopped by the moisture in the air that there is danger. As long as @ man perspires freely he is all right. Sire may not look charming with the beads on his brow, but he is all right physically. It would be interesting to read the result of figures made by a man with nothing else to do than sit down and compute the num- ber of barrels of soft drinks that St. Louis- ans have consumed the last eight days. Friday morning it was difficult to elbow one’s way to a soda water fountain, and by noon the thirsty stood in line as they do at the ticket wagon on circys day. Limeade seems to be the most popular drink, and something with an egg in it comes next. Alcoholic liquors are being well eschewed, for the many warnings by physicians are being heeded. The best advice is to keep cool, and It is gaid one can do so by making himself be- lieve “its not so warm.”’ HUGE MOUNTAIN OF FLESH. Five Hundred Pound Negress at the Hospital With Heat Prostration. City Hoepital physicians and nurses are having a hard time treating Hattie Grant, who is suffering from sunstroke. ~ Hattie is colored and lives at Fourteenth and Papin streets. There are no scales at the hospital, but the doctors and nurses estimate that she weighs at least 0 pounds. Her huge bulk looks like a moun- tain of chocolate flesh piled high on the white covered cot. She is unconscious and Dr. Sutter says it is by no means certain that she will re- cover. She is 50 years old. In cases of heat prostration the first treat. ment ie to put the patient in an ice bath. This was impracticable in Hattie’s case. When she wag placed in the tub, she filled it completely and there was no room for any water. A stream of cold water was turned on her, but it had no effect. Sur- rounded by half a dozen attendants she wae lifted from the tub with some exertion and was placed on a wire cot and cakes of ice were placed around her. The temper- ature was reduced somewhat and early Friday morning she was taken to Division No. 2, where she was placed on a cot. There are ice bage placed all over her, but her temperature is still many degrees above the normal. Miss Douglas, the nurse in charge of the division, surveys her mam- moth charge with dismay. When it is necessary to move the patient all the as- sistant nurses and details are called on for assistance, but not enough help can crowd around the cot to render the task an easy one, Hattie is a widow and washes for a liv- ing. She worked Thursday afternoon and while on her way home fell in the street from overheat. e Reifschneider, a baker, 47 years old, while at work at midnight was pros- trated. He was removed to the hospital, His condition ic serious. Thursday afternoon Henry Schermer of 2917 South Broadway was overcome while driving on DeKalb avenue. He was revived and sent home. August Seehausen, a carpenter, I'ving at 1809 South Tenth street, was prostrated about 6:30 Thursday at Broadway and remark in July or August, | Lynch street. He was revived without at- | tendance of physigians and was sent home. he hot weather has imposed an extra strain on the Dispensary staff. Between noon and midnight Thursday the ambu- lances made fifty-five trips, Fifty patients were sent to the rroh § Hospital and nine to the Female Hospital. There were ten reported cases of heat prostration, but only one proved to be gen- uine, that of Thomas Caine, who was re- moved to the ag Hospital from the St. Louls Wire Mills. His temperature was 110. ans hundred and ten prescriptions were ed, Henry Huldenburger, 36 years old, Marion Btreet, was overcome by the heat at 7 o'clock Friday morning. He was sent to the City Hospital. His condition ts serious. Arnoid Wisezki, years old, 213 Miller street, employed at the Laclede Gas Works, a't cond and Convent streets, was over- come ‘by the heat Friday morning. He was sent home in an ambulance.

Scheme Fostered by a Wealthy Lobby, Including the Sugary Cable and Nicaragua Canal Crowds. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18.—Sen tional developments may be looked for in the Hawalian annexation mattér. The lobby is so aggressively in favor of the treaty that every one believes a gross scandal will be revealed. It is sald that the ' treaty can not be ratified at this session (and that the details of the scandal will be- come public before next session. In a day the entire plans of the Cabinet were Wchanged and the Hawaiian matter was mashed to the front. ntatives of the sugar crowd, the cable. people and the Nicaraguan Canal Co. are actively at work for it. ‘Senator Elkins, Warner Miller and form- the chief lobby that has been working on the President in favor of anexation. John W. Foster has been for some time the counsel for the Dole Government of Hawall, which has been pressing so strong- ly for annexation, because there was reason to befieve that it could not be re- elected to power. The principal capitalist interested with Mr. Elkins in the cable company is J. Plier- pont Morgan, who is a director. With him on the board are James A. Schryser, J. Kennedy Tod, Edmund L. Baylis and G. 8. Bowdoin. If they can assist in bringing about the annexation of Hawaii they ex- pect that their stock, now worth no more than the paper upon which it is printed (though capitalized at one million not a cent has been paid in) will at once assume a definite market value. The canal people think the canal will be- come a necessity when the island comes in. The Chinese question is a serious one. The Chinese Minister holds that Chinese in Hawali must not be prevented from coming to the United States unless it was conceded that the law prevented them from going from one to another of the other States in the Union. In explanation of his course in regard to Hawaii, Secretary Sherman said: “I do not differ from the President on his policy of annexing the Samdwich Islands, although I have always been against the tion of new territory, and I shall continue to be in the future; but with Ha- wail the question is different. If we do not take the islands the chances are that they will fall into the hands of some un- friendly forei Power, and damage our in- terests severely. I do not know what the Senate will do in the matter, but I entirely approve the President’s action.” Liliuokalani’s Protest. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18.—Ex-Queen Liliuokalani has made a formal protest to the Government against the annexation treaty. She says: ad | ‘Menkave cael treaty to be an act of wrong toward the native and part native people of Hawaii, an invasion of the rights of the ruling chiefs, in violation of inter- national Nghts, both toward my people and toward friendly nations, with whom they have made treaties, the perpetuation of the fraud whereby the constitutional govern- ment was overthrown, and finally an act of gross injustice to me.” ENFORCING THE LAW. Strong Effort to Stop Liquor Selling at Fort Scott. FORT SCOTT, Kan., June 18.—At the In- stigation of Prosecuting Attorney Shep- pard of this county the Sheriff and his depu- ties broke into two joimts with crowbars and seized between $1, and $1,500 worth of i ; rietors of the places are Sela unesr abel cook The bulldings in which the liquor was found are held for costs, The Prosecuting Attorney recently closed the saloons ~~ is making the most vigorous effort to enforce the law ever made here.

Robert Cook to Try It From Pittsburg ‘ to Cincinnati. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 18.—Robert Cook of Boston is in Pittsburg, arranging to per- form the remarkable feat of walking from Pittsburg to Cincinnati on water, a distance of 400 miles. Cook ig the tnventor of a pair of shoes by which he can walk on water. He claims that, with the use of them, he can make as good time as a man walking along an as- phalt street. While in Chicago a few days ago this was questioned. Cook offered to wager $1,000 that he would walk a distance of 400 miles in fourteen days and do it easily. This was quickly taken by John Leopold, a West Side saloonkeeper of that city. Cook deposited his side of the bet, and the saloon- keeper did the same, The money is now in the hands of a re- sponsible stakeholder and all that remains for Cook to do to be richer by $1,000 isto demonstrate his ability to walk on the Ohio. The start will be made from the Sixth street bridge, in this city,:on Sept. 1, at noon. He will be accompanied by a small steam launch. INSECT-BEARING PLANT. Remarkable Specimen Received by the Smithsonian Institution. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, June 18.—In a day or two the Smithsonian Institution in Washington will receive what its donor believes to be the most remarkable specimen of plant life, or of plant and insect life, in existenco. This specimen is, to all appearances, an insect-bearing plant. It comés from Vene- zuela, and the Indians there say that it is not uncommon, ' So far as is known, none of the plants have been brought here be. fore. Infortunately, both plant and in- sect are dead, but they are well preserved. Plant and insect are joined at the middle of the insect’s head. The brittle shell of the head had not been pierced by the stem, and the insect seemed to have been growing there as naturally as a flower. Scientists who saw it say it is only an accidental! lodging of the insect on the plant, and that the two have no connection. HANNA CUTS WAGES. A Strike Is On and Twenty Thousand Men Are Affected. Special to the Post-Dispatch NEW YORK, June 18.—Advices from Manown, Pa., say the Youghiogheny Coal Co., of which Mark Hanna is one of the owners, has cut wages from @ centsd to 4 cents a ton.

JOSEPH, Mo., June 18.—A eecond en- , counter between ex-Congressman George C. Crowther.and Maj. John L. Bittinger is expected at any time. Since he returned from Washington, after securing the post office for Frank M. Atkinson, Maj. Bittin- ger has resumed editorial charge of the Herald. Since the fight with Crowther he has written several articles about the ex- Congressman, refiecting on his character.
