If you are, it is high time you set about making yourself as cool as possible. You can’t con- trol the thermometer. It goes up and down at its own sweet will, but, if it happens to be on the rise, you can at least do all in your power to prevent the heat from getting the best of you. Manufacturers have spent many hours of anxious thought devising all sorts of clothing that is as cool as fashion and appearance will allow. Take advantage of their labors and provide yourself with a light hat, thin underwear and socks, lower collars, a suit ‘with an unlined coat, and loose, com- fortable shoes. You will be as- tonished at the difference a few changes In your dvéss will make in your comfort. If you don’t know just how to g0 about getting these things, read ‘carefully the advertisements iIn THE BULLETIN and you will find where to buy at prices that are as reasonable as 1s compatible with good quality. finds that the twelve months ending on June 30th make the biggest record for number of alarms that the depart- ment has ever had as there have been 174 while the best previous high figure was 165 which was two vears ago The year just closed had aiso 25 raore alarms than the year that immediate- Iy _preceded it. In contrast with the present big rec- ord Is shown the activity of the de- partment in 1878 when there were 14 |alarms, in 1881 three alarms and in 1885 ten alarms. Besides having the high mark for number of alarms, the vear just closed had some of the larg- it fires either oc- curring or threatened by blazes (hat started and were . kept under control. In the first named class was the lum | ber yard fire on Central wharf last August and in the latter class the fire that started in the Austin building in January. Through the lumber ya.d gre, August showed as the month 'n which there was the largest insurance loss, the total for that month being $110,936, while in January the insur- | ance loss was at a total of $14,647, which included the Austin building fire, For the whole year there was a total valuation at risk in the fires that occurred of $892,549, upon which there was insurance of $91,930, and insur- ance loss of $144,187. The month hav- ing the least number of alarms was | September, with nine and a loss of $185. and the month having the most alarms was April with 23 and a loss of $2,297. In ‘the year the department laid 46,300 feet of 2 1-2 inch hose which is equivalent to laying all the hose they have about five times over. How much chemical is used is shown in the sta- [ tistics kept on that. They dumped the 40 gallon tank on the auto-chemical thirty times, used the 25 gallon tanks on the chemical wagons eighteen times and dischagged 174 of the three gallon In June there were 13 alarms, six of which were bell alarms. For the Fourth. In preparation for the Fourth of July Chief Stanton had all the men of the depertment sleeping at the fire houses on Thursday evening and the same will be the regulation for tonight. Vhose 17ho were entitled to their days off had to give them up for this spe- cial time and there were probably from 20 to 22 men at the Central station with six men in each of the other stu- tions at the West Side, Main street and at the Falls. Chief Stanton himseif slept at the Central station, while As- sistant Chief Gernhard siept at his own home with C. V. Pendleton under | orders to keep a watch for alarms and be prepared to go after him with his side-car motorcycle should an alarm ring in. This has-been found a very effective way of getting the assistant chief to fires. Hardly a Fourth goes by without an alarm, although last year it was not until evening that the bell rung when a balloon dropped a blazing piece of paper. on the roof of the German Tutheran church. The year. before that there were two alarms. The chief has been at work for sev- sral days having the businessmen and citizens generally take hold of the proposition of cleaning up the waste matter about the streets and debris that may have collecteq about their premises. The response has been gen- eral and there has been a general co- operation on the part of the citizens to take every precaution in the matter of fires with July 4th due. Thursday every rubbish pile and ev- ery piece of litter and waste paper or empty box or barrel was eliminated from the danger zonme. Especially about Franklin square has the chief centered his effort and every business- man has given his word that his prem- [ises will be shipshape over the Fourch 80 that stray sparks from fireworks will not do any damage. PLOT TO SMUGGLE CHINESE THROUGH CONNECTICUT. Greenport Man Placed Under Arrest at New London. An alleged plot to smuggle Chinese into this country threngh Connecticut and Long Island ports was uncovered Thursday by the arres: in don of Hugh Labad of Greenport, L. I, by United States Deputy Marsnal Wiley Labad was brought to Green- port and is locke¥ up in the jail there, | charged with attempting smuggling. | Beanwhile the authorities are seeking some trace of Charlie Mon, a Green- port laundryman. Two or more “cous- ins” of Mon are the Chinese whose en- try into the country was desired. A reward of $3,0001s alleged to have ;‘heen offered for getting them safely in- {to the country from the high segs, where they were to be picked up by a | vessel in charge of a New London man | whose name the authorities have been given, and brought ‘o New London. The sloop Laura May, owned by Cap- tain Fletcher Denuls of Greenport, was | nese, it is said, for the purpose of car- rying out that mart of the smugsling | plot which consisted of conveying the smuggled Chinese to New London from Greenport. Just how Labad is alleged to have become mixed up in the affair has not béeri made clear by tlie authorities. The Laura May is tied up at New Lon- don. The Laura May has been watched by secret agents of the departmert | of commerce for neariy a month. It | was suspected by the investgators | for the sloop to saif out of Greenport ostensibly on a pleasure cruise, and to land smuggled goods or undesirable immigrants near New London. | “Both Greenport and New London {were matched closely for this reason. Acting Collector of Customs Joseph | C. Comstock of the port of New Lon- don had charge of the investigation, | assisted by Inspector Jeremiah Dillon of the operating with them were Speclal | Agent Willlam A, Harney of Bostor. | representing the treasury department, | and Tnspector Albert T. Wiley of New | York, representing the immigration bu- reau of the department of commerce. FOUR LEGGED CHICKEN. Freak in the Flock of W. E. Beetham of Prestcn. A genuine four legged chicken was exhibited Thursday evening at The Bulletin office, one out of a hatching ot white Plymouth Rocks belonging to W. E. Beetham of Preston. The evtra pair of legs were perfectly formed, but were of no use as an additional meang £ locomotion, for they hung suspended off the ground and were not under any muscular cantrol. from the upper part of the Chicken’s back, with a perfectly formed nip, whichi, however, was not jointed with anything, but seemed to sprout out of the chicken's back or side. They dii not interfere with the regular pair of legs, and the chicken seems likely to live on healthy and happy with its ex- tra pair of legs. 4 WELCOMED | NDEPENDENCE DAY. | Thermes Club Showed Their Patriotism With Fireworks.

Four weeks today have now passed since William O'Brien of Avery street was last seen by anyone who certain- ly knew him and his family are still | without any solution of what has be- come of him. Just after his disappear- ance reports were received from a number of different localities of men seen who answered his description, more or less, and these were followed up, but without result in locating the man, who fle this home following a period of mental depression and des- Ppondenc: In the search for him which has been carried on by his relatives, prac- | tically the entire region around here and as far west as the Connecticut river has been covered anil everything | that they could think of has been done | ~to discover traces of him, but without result. In the opinion of the local | Dolice there are just two definite oc- | casions on which he has been cer- | tainly seen since he left his home and | the city. He was surely seen the day | afterwards at Stony Brook reservoir | by George H. Nolan, who was well | | acquainted with him. Thep the man | | who “was seen at the Gallivan place is thought without question to have been Mr. O'Brien. These are the two occasions on which it is thought he was definitely located. All other re- ports are lodked upon as too hazy to have much value but wherever there was a hope that he might be found his relatives have followed up the clue, hoping to relieve the terrible anxlety to which they have been a prey since his disappearance. While at present they are not carrving on ,any continuous search for him they | jare ready to follow any ciue which may be offered and at the first report | would respond to trace down anything | which” might offer, a solution of the | mystery. | | GAME OF CHECKERS BASIS OF LAWSUIT.

In the four vaudevilie acts that show- | ed at the Davis theater on Thursday | for the bill for the ‘remainder of the Week there waz a good variety of en- | tertaining turns that included numbers | musical, acrobatic and marvellous. | Juggling Wilbur, the doy with the hats, | showed that he was an adept in this department of skill and agility, and the Braggar Brothres as comedy gymnas's bad an act that was full of fun and ended up with a farce wrestling turn representing Gotch »1d Hackenschmidt | that was a scream. ‘The marvel of the bili was displayed | byithe Two Electros, who play with tue ‘langerous and treacherous fluid with wpunity. The woman member of the troupe al'ows the electric current to | pass through her body at what she says is a voltage of 2,300, lighting a candle and the gas from her tongue tips, igniting a piece of linen from the sole of her shoe and 2 piece of paper from the tip of her tongue, while sparks flash and crackle off her arm when a steel rod is drawn along it.

Chicago, July 3.—America is devel- oping a race of short-sighted people, was_the warning delivered yesterday by Dr. C. G. Fellows, of Chicago, in | an address before the convention of | the American Homeopathic, Ophthal- mological, and Laryngological society in session here. His assertions were backed up by other speakers, who de- clared office workers use too much light. “It is astounding how many persons are short-sighted,” said Dr. Feliows. “The development of short-sightedness ‘or progressive;myopia in adults is due to the manner in which they study in school. The prevention is early and frequent examination of children for eve troubles.” 7 “Most people don’t need half the light they, use,” said Dr. H. D. Schenck, of Brooklyn. “Clerks and bookkeepers will have a big burner right over the | books they work on. They will tell you it is a beautiful light, but they are burning out their eves. If we de- creage the excess light we decrease the danger of near-sightdness.’” . Thirty of the thirty-seven ophthal- mologists present vesterday wore glasses. | i I CHIEF JUSTICE TOOK ALTAR BOY’S PLACE. Lad Taken Suddenly 11l During a Mass at Quebec.
