SUNSTKOKES BY THE SCORE.
The Way the Hot Weather Works in
New York.
People who think it is hot down
here ought to go to New York to
cool off. On Saturday there were
twelve deaths in that city from heat
and thirty-five other persons prostra^
ed; sixteen cases in Brooklyn, .nine
in Newark and three in Jersey City.
The thermometer stood at ninety-
eight degrees and there was a humid
ity in the the atmosphere that made
life almost unbearable. This heat
kept up on Sunday ana Monday, with
about an < <j lal number of casualties
each day. The Star thus describes
the way people stood it:
•‘Yesterday was the hottest of all.
Sunstrokes were frequent and eleven
lives were sacrificed. Straw hats,
linen coats, gauze clothing, palm leaf
fans and sunshades were no protec
tion from the scorching rays of the
sun yesterday. The man who is
blessed with nothing more to do than
to dictate to his amanuensis and
watch the thermometer perspired an
freely and suffered as mnch from the
intense heat as the poor laborer who
rigorously applied his pick and
shovel in a trench.

poured down its merciless rays on
tbe multitude. Here and there a weak
mortal dropped from prostration,
and while some few humanitarians
paused to render assistance tbe clang

“Mad dogs rushed here and there,
giving brawny policemen ajihnooe to
use their “pope” without running
the risk of being called before the
Board to explain why they discharg
ed their weapons in the street. Under
snob atmospheric circumstances life,
liberty aud the pursuit of nappinest
became intolorable. Fat men lost
flesh, and skinny people withered
away and were as dry aa sawdust.
“Old people moaned and plied the
fan with vigor; young girls cussed
the weather that straightened oat
their carls, young men swore violent

saloons ud imbibed cooling draughts.
The barbers did a good trade in
shampooing, while the soda water
fiend found plenty of this nonMn

pie, but how much oftener does the
green apple disturb the stomach and np
set the bowels. This can be set right
by Dr. Biggers’ Huckleberry Cordial.

Your correspondent attended services
last Sabbath at Liberty church in Pike
county, and had the privilege of hearing
an interesting sermon delivered by Eld.
W. H, Harden, of Southwest Georgia.
The congregation was If *gc and atten
tive aud the effect of the sermon wrs evi
deuced. In the conclusion was an exhor
ta“on from Eld. W. T. Godard. Surely
it will be productive of much good. Af
ter services I accept- <1 an invitation to
the hospitable residence of D. G. Bark,
where I assisted in devouring n portion
of the good things of th>s life. I, T. B,
the moat modest of all midowere I ever
saw, joined ns in tbe afternoon and the
hours were spent most pleasantly. It is
amns ; ng to hear Mr. B. relate bis expe
rie ice i a widower for the past twelve
yei -a.
D. G. Bark is ahead of anything in
* a section. He has a cow that brought
h n two fine male calves. Who can beat
that? His friends visit him s gnat deal
and have worried the little fellows neatly
to death making an exhibition of them.
Prof. D. A. Gunn w'H take charge of

For Hot Weather,
A reemt newspaper article by W. A.
