The Lievald-Review, By E. C, KILEY, The Russian empire is possibly the greatest contributor to the world’s sup- ply of fur. Russian and Siberian hunt- ers destroy annually 3,000,000 ermines, 16,000,000 marmots and 25,000,000 squir- rels. Among the features of Japan’s mili- tary system is the fact that on the army pay rolls are 2,000 tailors, 1,000 shoemakers, 10,000 grooms, and 1,500 attendants, says the Washington Times. The medical staff is one of the most complete in either Europe or Asia. All officers holding only tempo- rary commissioned rank are included in the list of petty officers. Investments in horse-flesh are pro- verbially uncertain, but a city board of health found an ample return for the fifteen dollars expended in the pur- chase of a horse. The animal was used in producing antttoxin, and yielded many thousand vials, valued at thous- ands of dollars. Having done his work and been turned out to grass, he now enjoys a well-deserved rest. It is said that the Bank of France has an invisible studio in a gallery be- hind the cashiers, so that at a given signal from one of them any suspected customer can instantly have his pho- tograph taken without his knowledge. The camera has also become very use- ful in the detection of frauds, a word or figure that to the eye seemed com- pletely erased being clearly reproduced in photograpus of the document that had been tampered with. Daughters of the Confederacy throughout the country are interested in a movement which has been started to buy the old home of Gen. Stone- wall Jackson at Lexington, Va. The matter has been under consideration ‘by a local chapter of the daughters at Lexington, and Mrs. Jackson. She wishes to dispose of the property as she cannot afford to keep it, and the daughters are considering the advisa- bility of buying it and turning it to hospital purposes. T. J. J. See of the Naval Observatory has announced the results of new measurements of Saturn and its rings, which differ somewhat from older de- terminations. He makes the exterior diameter of the rings about 173,226 miles, the equatorial diameter of Sat- urn 74,990 miles, and the polar diam- eter 67,395, the difference between the two diameters being 7,595, miles al- most equal to the entire diameter of the earth. Mr. See’s measures make the diameter of Titan, the largest of Sat- urn’s moons, 2,092 miles. It had pre- viously been estimated as high as 3,- 500 miles. At a recent woman’s meeting where parliamentary points were getting tan- gled and feelings embittered, Mrs. William Tod Helmuth begged that the ladies heed the rules of the Pil- grims: “Touch no state matters; pick no quarrels; reveal no secrets; main- tain no ill opinions; make no com- parisons; lay no wagers.” These max- ims have since been known in that circle as “Fanny’s recipe for club elections.” Oddly enough, King Ed- ward recently. discovered an old black letter manuscript bearing the same rules, which he has caused to be framed and posted in Windsor Castle. They may be recommended to per- sons who are not habitues of clubs or castles. The summer camp for schoolboys is a recognized institution in certain parts of the country. All its advan- tages may be seen in a new applica- tion of the camp idea which has just been made by members of the Inter- collegiate Young Men’s Christian As- sociation. In this second summer of their enterprise sixty boys preparing for college are to gather at a spot on the New England coast where the best fa- cilities for all land and water sports abound. Besides the boys tiere will be fifteen “leaders,” young men still in college or just out of it, who have been identified with the more serious aspects of college life, as well as’ with athletics. Indeed, a fair proportion of them can wear a “varsity” initial on their sweaters. According to ontific investigations, directed from Washington, which have been going on for several months, there are about 275 reported cases of leprosy in the United States. It is thought probable that the real number may be nea 1,000. For various reasons phy vho have cases of this dis- ease, in many instances either fail or refuse to report them. But the num- ber reported i ion some al Seventy-four of $s are in New Orleans, chiefly among the Italian population. There 2 are 23 in Minnesota, mostly among the Scandinavians in the rural settlements. There are 15° cases in North Dakota, and two in South Da- kota, among the same people. Chi- cago has five cases and New York six. Attention has recently been called by scientists to the disappearance of the chamois from the French Alps. These graceful animals, in spite of the fact that they concea] their homes and places of refuge in the most inacces- sible spots, at heights varying from 2,600 feet to 11,500 feet, are merciless- ly hunted and shot down, so that there is danger of their complete extinction, In Italy there is a large reserve on which the chamois are protected, and the formation of a similar reserve in France is advocated.

MacArthur announces the arriv- al of the Lawton at Manila, with Com- panies K and I of the Eleventh infant- ry.

A cablegram has been received at the state department from W. W. Rockhill saying that he will leave Pekin for home in August, by which time it is hoped Minister Conger will have near- ly réached his destination. Secretary Root is considering the ad- visability of appointing a board 0: army officers to recommend the posts in the United States which shall be abandoned and those which shall be garriscned by United States troops. Cormissioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes has held that brokers who are members of a stock exchange outside of New York, and who do business with the New York exchange do not have to pay a tax of §2 on each transaction, as the tax is paid by the brokers on the exchange. Acting upon the unanimous recom- mendation of the naval board of awards, Secretary Long has approved the de- signs of the two medals provided by congress to commemorate the achieve- ments of the United States navy in the campaign in the West Indies during the Spanish-American war. Commissions as brigadier generals have been issued to Enoch H. Crowder, judge advocate’s department; James Allen, signal corps, and Robert L, Hoze, cavalry. They will hold these places until June 30. The appointments are in’ recognition of the services of these men in the Spanish war and the Philippine | campaign. Personal Mention. James E.

This is the explanation of the proken engagement that their relatives give. Th fact that a soldier at Pampoluna, Spain, omitted to take off his cap while a jubilce procession was passing, led to a serious conflict between civilians and military men, during which swords, sticks and fists were freely used.

Washington, July 2, — Intense heat prevailed here all day and far into the night. The sun shone with relentless fury from a cloudless sky all day and there was scarcely a breath of air to temper the. atmosphere. During the afternoon the temperature at the weather bureau was 98 degrees, and it maintained a high record throughout the evening. Reports to the weather bureau from points through the hot ‘Wave area show remarkably high tem- peratures generally, with little or no rainfall, and but poor prospects for any substantial relief in the next for- ty-eight hours in the eastérn part of the country. In the South Atlantic and Middle and East Gulf states there were local rains and thunderstorms yesterday, and in the extreme North- west cooler weather came from local chowers. High temperatures continued in districts east of the Rocky moun- tains. At New York the maximum, 98 degrees, broke the record there for June, and at Philadelphia the maxi- mum, 98, equaled the highest tempera- ture previously recorded there. Some of the high temperatures re- ported at the bureau were the follow- ing: Atlantic City, 94; Boston, 92; Chicago, 96; Cincinnati, 96; Davenport, Iowa, 98; Denver, 94; Des Moines, 96; Indianapolis, 94; Jacksonville, 94; Kan- sas City, 98; Little Rock, 90; Mar- quette, Mich., 96; Memphis, 90; New Orleans, 94; North Platte, Neb., 92; Omaha, 98; Pittsburg, 94; St. Paul, 90; Springfield, Ill., 98; Vicksburg, Miss., 90; Washington, D. C., 98, and St. Louis, 100. Many Denths in New York. New York, July 2.—The relief from the killing heat of the past week which was promised yesterday in the shape of thunderstorms, did not materialize. Instead, the temperature increased, there was less breeze than the day be- fore, and what little air did stir was surckarged with heat. There was scarcely a cloud all day to shield the city’s populace from the sun’s beam- ing rays. As it was Sunday, when the majority of the,city’s workers were idle, the list of deaths and prostra- tions from the heat was slightly de- creased over that of Saturday. In spite of this fact, however, eleven @eaths and nineteen prostrations were reported up to 9 o’clock last night. There were several deaths and prostra- tions in Brooklyn. Various points throughout New England report ex- tremely high temperature. Victims of Heat. Pittsburg, July 2.—Between midnight Saturday and midnight Sunday eleven deaths directly traceable to the effects of heat and fifteen prostrations are re- corded. In addition to this many chil- dren have succumbed as evidenced by the burial permits issued. In the past eighteen hours fifty-nine permits have been issued, three-fourths of which were for children under four years of age. The normal death rate is sixtéen. CHICAGO ROASTED. All 1872. Chicago, July 2—The heat in Chicago yesterday broke all records for June since 1872. For three hours in the af- ternoon the government thermometer in the weather bureau at the top of the Auditorium tower registered 97. In many places in the street it was 104 and 106. A northwest breeze brought some relief after nightfall, but at 1t o'clock the mercury was again soaring around 90. There was intense suffering throughout the city, especially in the poorer districts and the police ambu- lances were kept busy picking up vic- tims who had succumbed to the heat. No fatalities were reported, but several of those who were prostrated are in a serious condition. CIGARETTES START A BIG FIRE. Heat Breaks Records Since Boy Smoking in Livery Stable at Alton, TIL, Results in Destruction of Entire Block. Alton, Ill, July 2.—As the result of a@ boy smoking a cigarette in a livery stable a whole block of property was burned in Alton, resulting in a loss of more than $50,000. The fire started in the livery stable of Charles Seibold. The John Snyder Clothing company puilding, with its stock, was ‘lost, a loss of $25,000. The livery stable, a frame building, the storehouse of the George F. Kirsch Packing company, and the residence of Mrs. Dwyer were destroyed. FOREST FIRE IN COLORADO. Flames Destroy Several Miles of Timber and Cabins and Tunnel Houses on Mount Baldy. Breckehridge, Colo., July 2—A for- est fire, which is believed to have orizinated from sparks from a loco- motive, is destroying several miles of timber on the west slope of Mount Baldy, about three miles from here. Scores of cabins and tunnel houses have been destroyed. A force of men is at work trying to prevent the fire from reaching the Mountain Pride con- centrating mill and shafthouse, which’ are well provided with fire hose. PRO-BOER DEMONSTRATION. Belgians Start for the British Lega- tion, but Are Dispersed. Brussels, July 2.—A great pro-Boer demunstration followed the lecture de- livered at the Alhambra theater by Andries Dewet, cousin of Gen. Dewet, the Boer commander. The crowd un- harnessed the horses from the lectur- er’s carriage and drew the vehicle to nis hotel. After the ovation to the Jecturer the crowd started for the British legation, but were dispersed by the police. SOL’S FIERY RAYS. Hot Weather Coatinues Unabated Over a Wide Erea. Washington, July 3.—The hot weath- er continued here yesterday with una- bated fierceness, the climax coming in the afternoon when the local record for this early in the st:mmer was broken, the ‘weather bureau thermom- eter recording a temperature of 102 degrees. Fortunately there was not much humidity in the atmosphere. There were fifty cases of hect prostra- tion reported, two of which resulted fatally. There seems to be no pros- pect for any relief for the next forty- eight hours for this vicinity. Beyond that length of time the weather bu- reau officers make no predictions. The present hot wave started in the West June 20 and yesterday the weather bu- reau officials reported that high tem- peratures were recorded in all sections east of the Rocky mountains and many places west of them. Rains, mostly moderate in amount have fallen in many places. The precipitation has been very great in a few places. For the next forty-eight hours along the northeastern coast the prospects favor more hot weather. In New York city tl2 probabilities seem to favor a con- tinuation of existing conditions with uo immediate prospects of reliet. MANY DEATHS IN NEW YORK. Hospitals Unable to Cope With the Demands Upon Them. New York, July 3. — esterday was the hottest July 1 on record. At 3:10 in the afternoon the thermometer at the weather office reached 98 degrees, 1 degree hotter than Sunday. The records show that in the thirty years preceeding on only two days in all that period has a higher temperature been reached. The suffering in the city, particularly in the crowded tenement house districts, was most intense. AS the day grew the deaths and prostra- tions increased, and although prepara- tions were made in all hospitals for this emergency, the institutions were scarcely able to cope with the demand made upon their energies. At 2 o’clock this (Tuesday) morning the death rec- ord for the twenty-four hours ending at that time in Greater New York was 87, the prestrations 183. For the last five days, covering the present heated term, the total deaths in the same ter- ritory were 137. From midnight Sun- day night to 9 o’clock, last night 21 deaths and 36 prostrations had been reperted in Brooklyn. If the heat was killing on mankind, it was worse on horses. They dropped right and left. At one time there were eight dead horses lying on Broadway between Twenty-third and Forty-second street. There were 14 horses prostrated in the vicinity of Madison Square alone. The rush of the crowds to the parks and to the near-by seashore resorts last night was urprecedented in the history of the city. All Records Broken, Philadelphia — Philadelphia and vi- cinity yesterday experienced the high- est temperature ever recorded in this city, the government thermometer on the top of the opstoffice building, 170 feet from the street, registering 102 degrees. The previous highest temper- ature recorded was on Sept. 1, 1881, when the weather bureau thermometer touched 101.5 degrees, All records re- garding the number of deaths and prostrations due to the hot blast were broken. Fifteen deaths and 100 pros- trations are reported. Pittsburg a Veritable Furnace. Pittsburg—This city was a veritable furnace all day. From sunrise till long after dusk there was no cessation in the terrible heat. All previous records were broken and the death rate was more than doubled. Infants and aged people succumbed alike and the suffer- ing among all classes was intense, Many mills closed down entirely. Be- tween the hours of 7 a. m. and mid- night 18 deaths in Pittsburg and Alle- gheny were recorded and 40 prostra- tions. Hot Spell is Broken. Cincinnati—The spell of torrid heat which held sway here during the past week and which left death and pros- tration in its wake was broken last evening by a squall. A storm came suddenly from the southeast and for a time the wind blew at a rate of sixty miles an hour. This was followed by a thunder shower and the thermometer dropped to 75. It\was a merciful re- lief. There were 5 deaths from heat yesterday. Sigh for a Cool Breeze. Boston—The sigh for a cool breeze again went up in many parts of New England yesterday, for the thermome- ter indicated that the hot wave was still here with no signs of a break. Heat casualties in Boston were numer- ous with 8 deaths at the hospitals and 3 critical cases. Elsewhere there were deaths. The chief feature is the great increase in infant mortality in the sities. Dropped Dead on the Street. Chicago—Five persens dropped dead on the streets in Chicago yesterday from excessive heat and 15 others were so badly overcome that they had to be removed to hospitals. A number of the prostrated are in a serious condition and may die. A severe thunder storm at 1 o’oclock brought relief and the mercury dropped 20 degrees. St. Louis Scorched. St. Louis—Suly was ushered in with scarcely any abatement of the heat which marked the closing days of June. Six deaths from heat were re- ported, Milwaukee Also Suffers. Milwaukee—Five persons were pros- trated by the intense heat yesterday. The maximum temperature was 961-2 legrees. DONATION TO DETROIT. Detroit, July 3—George W. Radford, member of the Detroit public library board, has received a letter from An- drew Carnegie stating that he will contribute $750,000 toward the erection of a new public library in this city. Released From Quarantine. Washington, July 3. — The war de- partment is informed that the trans- port iXintuck has been released from quarantine at Port, Townsend and will go direct to Seattle with the troops. { —— } 4 JOVE’S FATAL BOLT TEN BOYS AND ONE OLD MAN MEET INSTANT DEATH BY LIGHTNING. SOUGHT SHELTER FROM STORM Bodies Were Found With Twisted and Tangled Limbs, Like a Nest of Snakes—Only One Escaped In- jury and He Was Revived With Great Difficulty—lieroic Werk of a Small Boy. Chicago, July 3. — Crowded together In a little zinc-lined shanty under @ north short pier ten boys and young men and one old man met instant death by lightning yesterday. They had left their fish lines and sought shelter from the fierce thunderstorm that deluged the northern part of the city about 1 o’clock. Ten minutes later their bodies lay, with twisted and mangled limbs, “like a nest of snakes,”’ as the man who found them, said. There were twelve who sought shel- ter, and just one escaped. Twelve- year-old Willie Anderson was unin- jured, but he lay many long minutes before he could be drawn out from under the heap of dead bodies. The dead are all from the families of com- paratively poor people and comprised a party of men who were fishing and seeking relief from the heat of the day, joined by a number of boys who had come to wade and swim on the beach, The storm was as violent a visitation as hag ever been -xperienced in Chi- cago, The skies were filled with the flashing Glare of the Lightning, and the air rumbled steadily with thunder. Half a dozen houses, out- buildings and trees in the vicinity were struck, and almost all of the telephone wires burned out. There were thirteen men and boys on the pier at the time. They rushed for the only available shelter and crowded themselves in throngh the trap door in the top of the cabin till they were packed almost to a suffocating point. Then came the thunder bolt. There was one small boy who saw the bolt and whose senses were all alert despite his excitement. But for him the dead might have laid where they were for hours, and little Willie Anderson might have suffocated under their bodies. Perry Keane, clad in bathing trunks, and watching from the water station, thought he heard @ screant as the bolt struck. Mindless of the storm, he rushed across the beach. At the pier he heard acry: “Help; get me out.” He looked into the cabin and in dis- may saw the twisted bodies. Young Keane, srying, pulled at the dead men’s arms and legs to get them away. He saw Willie Anderson’s head and part of his.body, but he could not pull him out, nor could he pull the heavy bodies from on top of him. Then young Keane telephoned to the police, who succeeded after a deal of diffi- culty in reviving young Anderson and recovering the dead bodies of the oth- ers. tie CONSTITUTION DEFEATED. * Columbia Comes in Ahead, but the Contest Was Far From Conclusive. Newport, R. I., July 3—The Consti- tution was defeated by the Columbia yesterday by the small margin of 48 seconds in the first real race in which the new Herreshoff yacht has partici- pated. Although the contest from start to finish was close and at times exciting in the opinion of a majority of yachtmen in Newport, the Constitution lost through misfortune. " However, the result of the contest is far from conclusive and there is still much to be decided as to the relative merits of the two racers. The mishap to the new boat came about an hour after the start. While the boats were on the second lorg tack to windward the clew of the jib of the new boat was carried away and for some ten minutes she was without the use of that sail. This accident set the Constitution back practically a mile, but in spite of it she was able to get within two minutes of the Columbia at the turn, and cut this lead down more than half on the run home. Some of this gain, however, was undoubtedly due to the fact that she came up in t._ better wind, MANCHURIA, RUSSIA PI Her Right Questioned by Represent- atives of the Powers. Pekin, July 3. — The installation by Russia of a civil administrator in New Chwang, Manchuria, has caused the question of the occupation of that province by the Russians to again be- come prominent. Some of the powers have already recognized the adminis- trator, but the ministers of other na- tions are doubtful as to the course to pe followed in the matter and are awaiting instructions from their home governments. Among these thus awaiting instructions from their home governments is the representative of the United States. CRIPPLE CREEK OUTPUT. Six Months Amonnts to $12,583,900. Colorado Springs, Colo., July 3.—The_ Cripple Creek output for June was 48,- 500 tons, or $2,174,000, making the totals for six months of 1901 297,800 tons, or $12,582,900. The past fiscal year’s pro- duction reached $23,815,022. The camp’s entire product to date is $104,365,210. The 1901 dividends disbursed by public companies from their earnings is $2,- 204,240, a decreasé of $1,117,499 from last year’s record for like period. DANES ARE CORDIAL.
