Prostrations from sun- stroke were numerous over a large area of the country, and many of them proved fatal. The death list at New York was the greatest. Fourteen persons died there. The heat did not reach the high degrees reg istered out West, but the humidity added to its fatal quality. At Chicago there were prostrations and four deaths, Aurora, Ill.. had half a dozen prostrations, the mercury reachine 110 degrees.

The object is to the suffering inhabitants of the densely populated and squalid sections ofthe city. Mrs. Owens has been engaged in m‘ssion- ary and charitable work In the tenement reg'on north of Locust street the needs of the that inhab‘t It, informed as to families oughly poverty-stricken crowded flats In which there was sickness aggravated by the intense heat, ceived the idea of allaying the suffering in such cases as came under her observation by Supplying the famil es with ice. Her pian .was laid before the King’s Daughters and Soms, and discussed at a cent meeting of that soclety. It was sug- ome * the members a month to this did not suit it would be iy at a time when ice might Ost Therefore it was deter- » go ahead and keep up the work as i to demand It. The beginning of this charity has been made in a very small way, but those in charge hope to see the weaithy and humane people of St. Louis enter earnestly into the liberal contributions, so that family in the city may have during July and the sic Mrs. poor its daily ration of ice which has thus far been placed tn Mr. Owens’ hands was con- tr buted by the Kire’s Daughters ‘and Sons. Itis only $W, bt already has served to several families where and other forms of sicknese are add- ed to the woes of peverty. Mrs. Owens is inyuiries among the several ice cornpanies regarding the routes of their a view to placing orders s0 that the ice can be conveniently and speed- ily delivered. What she really needs and desires, however, is the use of a horse, wagon and driver to do the work under her own supervis'on., Thus equipped she could purchase the ice at the wholesale price and make the money go farther than by eivinge smal! orders to various dealers. Mrs. Owe ° hope that some ph. lan- will gi\. her the use of a horse and a wagon to carry out her char.table design. She thinks there are many men in St. Louis who will be giad to do so when they know the great good their liberakty will promote. It is not only in this district, which has een especially the scene of Mrs. Owens’ labor, that ice is needed by the poor. . The field is much larger. It extends along the whole iength of the city and there ig no doubt that a thoroughly organ’zed to give all the poor the luxury as well as ‘cessity of cooling drinks, backed by the business men and capital sts of Sr. would save many lives that other- must end in suffering before the cool days of autumn are here. Another charity that was a great boon to the children of the poor, but which Mrs. Owens saya is now accomplish ng little is the Fresh A'‘r Mission. Why this beneficent organization has been allowed to languish irs. Owens says sne does not know, but about all that is being done ta to give an occasional excursion .on the river, and not much good from this as it only givee the Ittle ones an outing for one day.

In his telegram that officer sald he had been apprised that 1,000 more passengers, of whom he had no not'ifieat'on from e¢onnecting lines, would be turned over to the Southern Pacific.
