Sad Lessons of the Dangers Resulting During the Heated Term. I write of this subject of leaving the men of families alone in closed homes during the heated term because I had the result of it brought home to me very directly and very sadly last summer, says the writer in the Ladies’ Home Journal. Four of my friends during the terrible heat of last July died in homes where every convenience was possible, but from which women were absent. With their families scattered in the coun- try these men were forced to remain in the | city. In each case the thousand and one little attentions that a man’s home receives at the hands of woman were neglected by the servants. Meals were irregularly served and more irregularly eaten; rooms were ventilated just as the servants remembered or forgot them. That terrible week of in- cessant heat, which we all remember, came and exhausted these men. Dysentery and Kindred summer ills are not far behind a man when he is run down by sleepless nights, harassed by business, living in a Cheerless, dismantled, uncared-for home un- der torrid days and stifling nights. In one instance it was a young man in the flush of success, who came home one evening only to die in the night, too weak even to ring for assistance. In another a man of millions, with his family away at one of the fashionable resorts, succumbed to the heat and was found dead the follow- fternoon. "Fine other two cases the blow came not so suddenly, but yet within a week. And in each instarice the families knew not that the mainsprings of their support were ill until they were dead. Perhaps the presence of mother, wife or daughter might not have stayed the hand of death, but who will de- ny the efficiency of womanly care in sick- ness? THE WOODED ISLAND. One of the Chief Natural Beauties of the Fair, A JAPANESE TEMPLE REPRODUCED. Description of the Central Hall and the Wings. A HUNTERS CLUB. Correspondence of the Evening Star. Chicago, Aug. 1, 1893. The visitor to the world’s fair, strolling about the edge of the lagoons, will probably notice the island that Mes about in the center of the park. It ia heavily shrouded 1 low woods and shrubs, which extend down to the edge of the water and dip into it. Nestled amid the green foliage, one can see peeping out the dark red roofs of several low houses. The water about the island is full of ducks and swans, and be- fore the summer with its heat and its crowds of people came there used to be large flocks of gulls. This is the wooded island, one of the chief natural beauties of the world’s fair. To reach it you may come into the grounds at the 60th street gate, and passing between the children’s and horticultural buildings, cross over one of the high-arched bridges and find yourself upon the island itself. You may pass now to your left and go along the extreme southern border of the island. You find a plain yellow and white cottage, and a sign warns you that it 1s the office of the imperial Japanese,| commissioner, and that entrance can be had only on business, There is no use in forcing your way in, as there is nothing to see. The commissioner has a pleasant of- fice with a beautiful view across the lagoon of the big Illinois building and the fisheries building, and a part of Brazil's house, and nearer by he can see the woman's buildin, and horticultural hall. Having pass around the commissioner's office you find yourself among the three tile-roofed houses, which constitute the Japanese Ho-o-di one of the most interesting sights in al the wanders of the fair. Bi lefly put this ts what the Ho-o-den means. The national bird of Japan is the Ho-o, or Phoenix. It 4s represented as having the head of a cock, a sparrow's beak, a neck that moves lke ‘a snake, for feathers it has dragon's scales, its tail is that of a fish, and { wings are those of a certain Japanese fab- ulous bird, called kirin. The old legends say it ascends 9,000 miles in the sky, and that it never appears in Japan, except when &@ good emperor is on the throne. There is in Japan a temple to the Ho-9, built about the year 1062, and it is called the Ho-o-den, or Phoenix Hall. The three wooden build- ings, with low, overhanging roofs, which are decorated with deep red tiles and which excite so much admiration on the Wooded Island are a tolerably faithful reproduction of the famous Japanese temple to Ho-o. A Continuous Structure. They are not so large and their religious character is purposely left out. All are Joined together by a covered way and form, in a measure, a continuous structure with @ central hall and two wings. The first wing that you see ts the left. It is constructed in accordance with the period of Japanese architecture which flourished from $8), A. D., to 1150, and the apartments are copied from those of the imperial pal- ace at Kyoto. The floor is covered with handsome matting and upon this are other mats and arm rests, for the Japanese peo- ple of that period did not use chairs, ‘but simply seated themselves cross-legged on @ level with the floor. There are. screens, also, and writing stands of gold lacquer and the walls are decorated with paintings by Kose Shoseki, professor of painting in the art school at ‘Tokyo. Leaving the left wing and going into the central hall this is built after the style in Vogue from 170) down" to 1868 There are sitting rooms, @ study and an upper cham ber. | The right wing is built after the sty’ of 1350 to 1550, and is beautiful and in é: cellent taste. The intings are all by celebrated artists. ey not — cover the walls, but the cellings as well. ‘They represent birds, fans, the sea monsters and the queer looking Ho-o. ‘The visitor will find himself much fascinated by the Deautiful art displayed in the Ho-o-den, or, as it 1s usually called, the Hooden. Un« fortunately the character of the work is so fine and le that it has been deemed inexpedient to admit the public within the rooms and they are forced to examine them through the doorways. “But enough can be seen In this way to make a lover of ori- ental beauties envy the fortunate city of Chicago, to whom Japan has’ presented the Hooden as a permanent gift. ‘The Scene Changes. Going south along Wooded Island from the Hooden the scene changes and becomes wholly horticultural. Here are beds of German flowers, principally roses, and after that the scene grows wilder and then you come upon a field of hardy sun flowers with stout peonies near by. Here are En- glish and American flowers especially. As you continue your walk the island grows wider, and you come to the entrance to the rose garden. There are roses every- where, blooming, budding and dying. Hol land exhibits some, the United States others, Germany, Belgium and England some. It Is at the end of the rose garden that you come to the tent given up to a single exhibit of rhododendrons. You have now reached a neat little shingled cottage, unpainted, and you may see upon a slight inspection’ that somebody lives there. It is the chief home of D. H. Burnham, the Girector of works of the fait, whose energy and skill are responsible for much of the great success that has been achieved. Here is really the end of the Wooded Island, as you reach the water here and find @ bridge to carry you away, but the bridge only leads to another island, so small that it has no name of its own and Is generally counted as a part of the larger Wooded Island. As you go upon It you proceed only a few yards when you come to a rough path shut in on either side by thick impenetrable bushes. You follow the path and come right upon the hunter's cabin, put up by the Boone and Crockett Club, an organization of hunters, many of whom are officers of the army. ‘The Boone and Crockett Club. There are a number of Washingtonians who belong to this club and Theodore Roose- velt 1s the president. The cabin is a faith- ful reproduction of the kind that is use in the far west when a hunter is fortunate enough to be able to ‘ind one. A pair of Jarge elk horns ornament the exterior above the doorway. The structure built of logs and mud. " By the entrance {s one of the big canvas-covered wagons that one sees on the frontier. As for the contents of the cabin, it is rather difficult to enumerate them. There are at least 4 half dozen sad- dies, all old and dusty. There is a big pair of snow shoes leaning against the wall. ‘There are half a dozen rifles, several re- volvers and some tools. About a dozen cooking utensils are on the sme table with a bottle of ink, a penholder and a sheet of paper, a broken bridle and a cow's horn. A number of elk, deer and bear rugs are on the earthen floor. There is a big brick chimney and fire place and in the latter, if there is any excuse for ft, there ts a tire of logs burning. Among the rifles it may be well to notice that one really belonged to Davy Crockett himself. It is long and so very heavy that no ordinary huntsman would be able to carry It far. Nestled in the bushes across the path from the hunters’ cabin ts w singular fittle bark hut. It offers little protection from the wind or rain, is primitive and cramped. It ig the habitation which the early settlers of New South Wales were uccustomed to build for themselves. ‘There is not much further to go on Wood- ea Island. A few steps more and you are on the mainland with the mining and elec- trical buildings confronting you. To tell anyone how to enjoy Wooded 1 land would be an Impossibility. There a many seats there and it is 4 favorite rext- ing place for everybody. As an exhibition of horticulture It is especially pleasing to those who are interested {a such matters. On account of the hunters’ cabin sportsmen Uke It and artists are lelishted with the Hooden. On the wh@? Jackson Park offers few more attractive’ spots to the average visitor. oe Corbett About to Go in Training. James J. Corbett and Wm. A. Brady, who is managing his business matters, arrived at New York last night. Corbett was seea by a United Press representative. Corbett said his object in coming east was to get into training for his fight with Mitchell. His intention fs to remain in New York clty for a few days hetore tak- ing up his training quarters at Asbury Park. He said that he signed Jast April to fight at Coney Island and that he Intended to live up to his word. When he at Mitchell parted the latter left the selection of the battleground to him, and ne closed out with the Coney Island Athletic Club. = ‘The 700 employes in the establishment of Libby, McNeil & Libby, canners of meat at the Chicago stockyards, were subjected to a cut in wages Monday. ABOUT GEORGETOWN Business is Slow of Late Along the Canal. Weather for One Month—An Import- ant Questions of Sewers—Un- Meensed Bar Raided. Business on the canal is slow. There are still but few boats getting down from Cumberland, and are bringing cargoes of but 99, 100 and 101 tons. The lower the water gets in the river the lighter will be the cargoes. Even now the bottoms of the boats al- most touch the bottom of the canal. Boats to arrive yesterday via the canal Were as follows: Cuba, Capt. Snigsburn; J. H. Mertins, Capt. T. Reed; J. K.

Laying Sewers. On Olive from 28th street down to the creek, at a depth of nearly twenty feet, @ sewer is being laid to improve the large ffact that for years has been used as a dumping ground. As the trench in which the pipe is being laid is being dug through made ground there are many who appre- hend @ cave in with fatal results. ‘The District government is laying an- other sewer on the south side of O be- tween 36th and 37th streets, and the resi- dents on the north side of said square will petition the Commissioners to lay one there. An Unlicensed Bar. George T.

Last evening a delightful and successful garden party was held in the grounds sur- rounding the Tenleytown Methodist Caurch. meeting The Woman Says She Did. There was a lively scene in a lawyer's office near 9th and F streets Saturday af- ternoon growing out of the examination of witnesses in the Hackman divorce case. Mary Almarolia, a stalwart colored woman, was on the stand under examination and Lawyer Wiswell, representing the wife in the divorce case, asked questions which Mary thought were impertinent and, in the office, she made an effort to reach the aged lawyer but was prevented from doing so. When she got outside. so it is stated, she assaulted him with a horsewhip. ‘This afternoon when a Star reporter call- ¢d on the lawyer he said that the witness became excited in the examiner's office, but concerning the affair he would say nothing more. . He declined to state whether the woman assaulted him or not. ‘The woman confirms the reports of the affair and says she used the whip. ae Drove Over the Hose. Arthur Blackman, a colored driver for S. E. Rabbitt, the plasterer, drove his wagon over the hose at the fire at Jackson's mills yesterday 2nd he was tried in the Police Court this morning. Chief Parris appeared as the prosecuting witness and said that while no particular damage was done, had the wagon wheels cut the hose it might have reguited in the gestraction of thou- sands of dollars’ worth of property. The driver was fined %. ——— A Lawn Fete at Landover. An enjoyable and successful lawn fete was given at Landover Monday evening, together with an entertainment, in the re- cently constructed school house. During an intermission in the dancing Messrs. T. A. Cathell, Frank Anderson of Haverly’s Minstrels and “Willie” Gallaher enter- tained the company with dialect stories and comic songs. Professor Wilson gave an exhibition of the graphophone, and John Yorke AtLee, the whistler, rendered several selections. A coaching party came from Hyattsville, and innumerable conveyances of all sorts and conditions brought _ pleasure-seekers from the country round. A number of Washingtonians were in the throng. The affair was given under the auspices of the ladies of Landover to raise funds for the last payment on the new school house. A game of base bali was played in the afternoon between Capt. Howser’s picked nine and the Landover boys, proving dis- astrous for the latter. — WASTED POLITENESS. + Story of a Prince, a Long-tatled Cont and a Chicago Matron, | Here 1s anew story about Prince Engalit- cheff, the handsome Russian about whom I have gossiped to you heretofore, and who, being at all hours of the day one of the best- groomed young men in all Chicago, is al- y8 a welcome guest at the big palaces along the avenues. In the matter of dress the prince is a sort of fashion plate that the young men of the town delight to copy. and it is in connection with his faithful fol. lowing of the sartorial fashions that this rather amusing story is told: Attired in one of the very long frock coats, coming down almost to one’s ankles and that now constitute “the proper caper” for young men of fashion in the afternoon, the prince called the other day at a very swell Michigan avenue mansion, the chict ornament of which is a young lady who, while she has more than once been engaged to be married within the last still lends hope to her host of adorers yore fraining from an actual dip into the matri- monial sea. The prince entered and was warmly welcomed by the young lady and her mamma. The latter after a minute or two asked cordially: “My dear prince, won't you take off your coat Much too well bred to express surprise, the prince merely declined the invitation, and the conversation proceeded. Presently the elder lady, oblivious of the nods and winks sent in her direction by her charming daughter, repeated the invitation: “Prince, you must be frightfully warm with that heavy coat on. Pray remove it; you will be so much more comfortable.” The prince looked just the least bit em- barrassed as he replied: “Excuse me, ‘my dear madam, but if you please, I will T-r-re- tain it.’ 1t was not until the noble caller had left the house that the daughter explained to her doting parent that the prince haa not worn an overcoat.—Chicago Times.

Schooling) has been measuring and weighing the sea. According to his calculations the number of gallons in the whole sea is 373 trillions (million million million), which, if it could be poured away at the rate of 1,000 gallons a second, would take nearly 12,000 million years to get rid of. If we could sell it even at so low a price as one shilling for 10.000 gallons, the bill would come to 1,860 billion pounds. Supposing the sea to be formed into a round column reaching to the sun, the diameter of the column would be nearl; 21-2 miles. The Pacific would form 53 - ion miles of its total length of $$ million, and the Atlantic 18 million. If it were a column of ice, and the entire heat of the sun could be concentrated upon it, it would all be melted in one second, and converted into steam in eight seconds; which illus- trates the heat of the sun’ rather than the size of the sea. The weight of the sea is 1 trillion and 665,000 billion (1,665,000,000,- 00,000,000) ‘tons, and if a contractor took the job to move it at even so moderate a price as 1,000 tons for a penny, he would require to’ be paid the amount of the na- tional debt ten thousand times over in reward for his labors.—London Daily News. 5 Bread in England a Century Age. The bread spectre now makes its appear- ance. The quartern loaf is is. 21. The house of commons reports. It is still fond of reporting. It suggests that bakers should be compelled to sell stale bread instead of new, to check the consumption.
