This was the hottest day of the year in Chicago, and by an exceedingly disagreeable coincidence, the humidity was as high as It corsld go. The heat was S2 In the government weather office, 55 on the street level, and the humidity was a thing of perfection in that it reached 100 and clung there throughout the day. At 100 the air Is supposed to be In a complete state of saturation, and every citizen who came In contact with Chicago air to-day was soon in a similar condition. Both last night and to-night the humidity was 10U a record-breaking occurrence, and the suffering was great, both among men and animals. Nine prostrations were reported from the heat, none of them likely to pe fatal. Two deaths Were caused by the heat today.

WINDOW 'GLASS SCALE

PITTSBURG, Sept 1 The Post to-morrow will say: "Co-operative and independent window-glass factories will begin making glass Sept. 15. As a starter firms representing 1H pots have signed the scale as formulated by the workers and more are expected to follow within the next few days. At the headquarters of the Window-glass Workers' Association the following signatures have been received: Wellsboro Cooperative glass works, of Wellsboro, Pa.;; Anastoda Glass Company, Anastoda, N. Y.; Durhamville Glass Company, Durhamville. X. Y.; Mutual Glass Company, Ithaca, N. Y.; Covington Glass Company, Covington.

Only Fonr Factories In the Country, and One Is at Kokorao, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOllO, Ind.. Sept. 2. One of the growing industries of this country Is the manufacture of bent glass. Up to a short time ago bent glass was unknown, the only curved glass being made was of the thinblown variety, such as is used In show cases, cabinets, etc. Bending the two-thousand-pound plates Is a comparatively new thing. Kokomo has one of the four plateglass bending establishments In the United States. The curved glass is used for store fronts, tower windows, coach fronts, rounded corners In buildings and a variety of other purposes in the construction of buildings. The flat plates can be bent to any curve or any variety of curves in the same piece. The bending is done in a kiln heated to 1,800 degrees. The molds are built on cars for rolling in and out of the kilns. The plates are suspended above the molds on the car and when sufficiently heated sink of their own weight into the mold prepared to receive them. Great care and skill Is required of the operator in manipulating the glass In the process of molding to prevent breakage and to preserve the polished surface, as the plates are bent In the finished state. It must be watched closely, as no pyrometer can withstand the great heat of the furnace, the great difficulty being to soften the glass to pliability without destroying the luster and polish of the plates. Notwithstanding the precautions, much glass is ruined by breakage, and for that reason bent glass costs about twice as much as the flat glass. Plates as large as 160 by 200 inches have been successfully bent in the factory here. These weigh about one thousand pounds each and are shipped to the large cities for store fronts. ADOPTED BLOWING MACHINES. All the Rljr Fruit Jar Concerns Koir on the Same Basis. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FAIRMOUNT, Ind., Sept. 2. The Ann of Wilson & McCulIoch, by their announcement of the fact that they Intend using machinery in their four "iifferent fruit Jar factories in this city, Marlon and Converse, have practically closed the gap for skilled workmen In their fruit Jar business. For many years this branch of the trade was the best and good wages were made by the blowers. The bottle-blowing industry has now taken the lead and many of the oldtime Jar men have abandoned this branch and hired In the bottle factories. Good wages are made yet by the men In this line, but they do not equal the fabulous prices of the times of long ago, when no machine competition was offered to the Jar manufacturers and the workmen practically dictated their own E rices. Wilson & McCulloch's was the last aven for them, as now all smaller factories must either adopt the machine or close down, as they cannot compete In prices. Many of the former workmen, members of the Green Bottle Blowers Association, are awaiting patiently the decision of Wilson & McCulIoch as to who will pet the places at the machines. Ever since the announcement was made officers of both the green and flint associations have been' making strong efforts to have the men given the places, but the Arm has made no decision. Meanwhile work Is being pushed on the factories, putting them in shape for an early resumption. Two Glass Factories Started. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FAIRMOUNT, Ind., Sept 2. The Fairmount glass works started two of thelf three factories yesterday morning, the first day of the year on which they could resume operations under the union price list. The third factory will be started as soon as completed, about Nov. L This Is the firm which, about the middle of July, sold its entire output for the coming year. It makes piescription ware and brandy bottles. STABBED TO DEATH. Young Man Killed While Suffering from Heat Prostration. CHICAGO, Sept. 2. Walter Koeller. a young man whose home is In Herman, Mo., was stabbed to death In his boarding house to-night by two unknown men, who, so far, have not been arrested. Young Koeller was bookkeeper for the Griffin car-wheel works To-day he was overcome by heat and removed to his boarding house. While he was lying down, two men called to see him. The men knocked at his door, and as Koeller opened It, one of them drove a knife Into his breast, killing him almost instantly. It Is suspected that the murderers were relatives of a young woman to whom Koeller had been paying attentions and whom he had discarded for another. A TITLED TRAMP. Austrian Count Who Has Traveled Around the World on Foot Baltimore American. Count Rocco Dianovich, of lower Austria, who Is completing a tour of the world afoot, Inspecting jails, almshouses, schools, hospitals, asylums, etc., arrived in Baltimore yesterday from Philadelphia and called at the city hall to see Mayor Malster. His Honor was busy, however, and the count will call again to-day. He wants Mr. Malster's official record of the fact that he (the count) visited Baltimore. The count is forty-seven-years of age and has been religiously prosecuting his Journey for the last thirty-five years. He has visited every section of the known world, with the single exception of Canada. He expects to spend two or three weeks in Baltimore, then go to Annapolis, get a letter from Governor Lowndes, which will complete a chain from every state executive in the Union. These bear the various States' seals. From Annapolis the count will visit Washington, call on President McKlnley and then pet out for Canada. His purpose, he says, is to return to his old home and write a big book on the prisons, hospitals, schools, etc., of the world. Judging from data already in hand It will be an intensely Interesting volume. The count obtains his knowledge of the penat Institutions he proposes to write up from actual experience and not from interviews with wardens and superintendents. Ills method Is to get into the clutches of the law for some trivial offense and serve a short term in a Jail or a penltentary. He will make it a point to become the "guest" of Warden Hall or Warden Weyler for a short time, at the expense of the city, and while Incarcerated behind the high, thick walls will Jot down on the pages of his thick and highly-prized note book the Baltimore method of treating with lawbreakers and criminals generally. The count, who is a tramp in name only, Is an Interesting character and has considerable money to his credit in Austria. He never asks nor receives charity. So far, ht says, hla travels have cost him 1150,000 in cash. The count says that the prisons of the United States are the best In the world and treat the prisoners better than any other country. One prison In which he was a "guest a few days ago amused him, he caia, icr tne inmates were all own 19 cut

after dark and get a "growler" of beer. The prison, according to his statement, was up In Delaware. Count Itocco, who says he can trace his family back for more than a thousand years. Is highly enjoying his present experience. He says the only way to see the world Is to walk, though he sometimes rides on trolley cars "for a little lift." He Is of a romantic turn of mind and took to the idea of a tour of the world afoot when but thirteen or fourteen years of age. He cays he has had considerable trouble with tramps and highwaymen in other countries, but not in America, as yet. The count carries two or three scars as souvenirs of tussles with highwaymen in other countries. He says he has killed but one assailant In all his travels. That was an Italian, who came at him savagely with a stiletto. Out In California a Chinaman attacked him and was strung up to a tree by his "que" for the assault. "I didn't let the fellow die, though," said the Count "for I cut him down after he had been hanging for about twenty-five minutes." The Count says he does not find it necessary to travel "armed" in the United States. Count Rocco spent some time In the Philippines, but says he don't like the natives nor their way of dealing with prisoners in the Jails. He says, however, that the islands will prove quite advantageous to the United States, because of the richness of the soil and the natural products of the land. The Count was in Baltimore twenty-six years ago. He was at that time an interpreter for the United States navy, and acted as interpreter under then First Lieutenant Sampson In the Virginlus affair. He visited Washington also at that time. "I am getting tired now and will quit as soon as I see a few of the cities of Canada," said the Count. "I have visited the countries of Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe and North and South America, and have been north to latitude 76, among the Esquimaux." FREIGHT RATE WAR.

Tariff on I'acklng-House Products Slashed by Western Roads. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Sept. 2.-A determined freight war is on between the Burlington and Memphis roads, In which other Kansas City lines will doubtless be forced to take a hand. The Burlington line put in a reduced rate yesterday on packing-house products from Omaha to points south of the Ohio river and east of the Mississippi river. The rate from Kansas City to these points was formerly 6 cents per 100 pounds lower than from Omaha. The Burlington reduced the differential to 3 cents. The Memphis road announced that it will cut the rate 3 cents from Kansas City, thus preserving the advantage of 6 cents which Kansas City has long enjoyed over Omaha. In retaliation the Burlington will again reduce the differential 3 cents. It is expected that the Memphis will keep In the fight and a merry time is looked for. DARIEN RIOT CASES.

The Drot was bound from Pensacola to Buenos Ayres. Anderson is a raving maniac and his companion Is shockingly mutilated from bites of the crazed man. Thomasen tells a dreadful story. The captain of the Drot and seven seamen were swept overboard and lost in the recent West Indian hurricane. The mate and seven other men' put to sea on a raft made from decking. The raft parted soon after and the mate and one man were separated from the others. The mate's companion was landed at Philadelphia by the German steamer Titania on Aug. 22. He stated that the mate committed suicide. Of the six men on the other part of the raft one became crazed from exposure and Jumped into the sea. Two others exhausted from suffering fell overboard and were lost. Anderson, Thomasen and a German seaman drew lots as to which should be eaten, as none of them had had a mouthful since they took to the raft. The lot fell to the German. He was killed and the blood was sucked from his veins by the two survivors. Soon afterward Anderson lost his reason and savagely attacked his only companion.

Cut In Price Has Increased the Demand at Peoria PEORIA, UL, Sept. 2. The recent cut In the price of spirits is producing its legitimate effect in this, the biggest market in the world. For the past month revenue collections have averaged $50,000 a day. To-day the collections amounted to $104,937, showing that the trade Is taking advantage of the cut and has more than doubled the usual daily purchase. A prominent distiller here says that a cut in prices always results in an advanced demand for goods, but the present rush of buying orders Is out of the ordinary. The dealers do not believe that the present low price will continue for any considerable time, and hence the rush. The officials of the revenue office have taken cognizance of the rush In business here, and if present conditions continue for any length of time It will be necessary to strengthen the force of gaugers and storekeepers. This was decided at a conference to-day. The general opinion, however, seems to be that the warring forces will adjust matters so as to put up prices, but in case the present drain on the surplus lasts long It will have the effect of opening several distilleries which have been closed down for a few months.

LOST IN BOSTON STREETS

WILD WESTERNER'S EXPERIENCE IS THE MAZE OF COWT PATHS. Names of Thoronsjhfares Dadly Confused and All Efforts to Find the Ocean Day a Failure. Boston Globe. His long, angular anatomy was arrayed In Sunday black, with which both his feet and haml9 seemed to be awkwardly unacquainted. His fierce, warlike mustache was drooping In distress. No wonder; he was lost in Boston, and in despairing tones hailed a passerby: "Say, hello, there! Hope I don't trouble you, but I wish you would unwind me a little. Tell me how I can And the Atlantic ocean. I want to go down on the wharves, and I've followed everybody's advice and done everything but crawl through the sew. ers and fall off of Bunker Hill monument. Now I've gone and lost my hotel, and some body has folded up the street and put it away. Funny streets, these Boston streets, ain't they? A man came along just now, and told me they were laid out by a cow. If I owned that maverick, I'd strangle her. "Now, stranger, If you can steer me down to the ocean without my getting curvature of my spinal meningitis, I'll let you in on my copper mine out In Utah. Yeu see, I'v Just cleaned up a run of 450,000, and I took It into my head to run down to Boston and look t the ocean. I started in this morning by buying a child's easy-reference handbook of the streets of Boston, calculated for the most simple-minded beginner, and guaranteed not to set one into fits. I took it up Into my room in the hotel and spread it out on the floor a :d studied it for two long, anxious hours. Then I tcok some liver pills for dizziness In the head, got the bell boy to bring me a bromo seltzer, and then went down to interview the clerk and shew him that I knew something about the city of Boston. "Just for form's sake I asked him how I should go to get to the wharf to take the steamer for Plymouth. He said that I could walk If I preferred, but that a party of tourists who started to walk about three weeks ago had never been heard from since; so he would advise me to go to Plymouth by rail and take the steame- tack, and in that way I would be able to find the wharf. He said that one man tried to take the steamer a week ago, and got as far as the drug store where he concluded to take chloroform. "The landlord thought that if I would go to Doc Square I would find some one who could tell me just how to go. Everybody was unusually kind in offering advice, and the porter talked in a lingo so fast that it was Greek to me. One man said that it was not Greek that he talked in, but Gum Arabic Anyhow I noticed he stuck to me till I gave him a dollar. Then I took my life in my hand and started out to find Doc Square. But if Doc had to be called quick in the night a patient would be likely to die before he could get there to have the credit of killing him. "I never perspired so In all my life, and I asked a man what the occasion was for Its coming off so hot all at once. He said that it was always hot on Summer street, and went on smiling. I called after him and told him that i wanted to go up High. He said keep right on till you get to Congress. It seems lunny that a man can't answer a civil question. " "y?' had such a tIme in finding a man as I had in finding Doc Square. I was adVised to go through Exchange, and two different men told me two different ways to go to Exchange. 1 wouldn't more than get started one way before the other man would tell me to go the other, and between them I sprained my back and had to set in a V ln4 my trousers, they pulled my legs so. I have hunted Indians in the Rocky mountains, rode through Arizona on a Mexican mustang that waitzed the Spanish fandango on his front feet and went ahead by going, backwards, but I never got lost so completely before. Several times I was on the point of advertising for my return and no questions asked. I walked around Sudbury, Court. Cornhill, Hanover and several more Sudburies that kept popping up at every corner, and I got those nice white stone mausoleums at Adams and Scollav squares so mixed up that I couldn't tell Mr. Adams's monument from Mr. Scollav's. I never knew that Adam was buried in Boston before. I saw hundreds of people going down Into the tombs, but I never cared much for this kind of pleasure. "Near there somewhere I went around one street several times, and before I could get out of it the first end flew up and hit me square In the back. I don't know how many I asked where Doc Square lived, but they all smiled and passed. I went past one man eight times in eight different doors which looked all alike and he got so that he knew me after a-while and seemed to be expecting me to come along. He would smile and say: 'What's the bet about? How's it going? Are you winning?' How that man ever got ahead of me and took his seat so quietly as If he had been there all the time Is a conundrum. I found out after a while that the best way was not to leave the street unless somebody had stepped on the first end cf It or it was likely to curl up and let you into It again. "At last I consulted my amateur guidebook again, and found on the page devoted to the weak-minded from the West the proper directions. It was suggested here that the streets were put In their present form to afford mental discipline of a higher order than was ordinarily found In a full college course, a study of which formed a post-graduate course for Harvard University. The directions advised a man wishing to go to the wharves to go against the wind, as the wind almost Invariably blew from the east. This, taken in conjunction with the smell of fish, would draw a man from the west to the wharves the same as It did the flies. "I changed my helm and luffed up into the wind and started for the shore. The wind changed four times In two blocks, but I hung on to it and chased it from Charles river to Neponset bridge. Twice I thought ohat. 11 b? tne Eme11- Once out at bavin Hill near the garbage manufactory, and the other time, over at Brighton at the stockyards conservatory. You have more kinds of wind here In Boston than in any other place I was ever in. One wind led me into an alley back of the Parker House, and changed In a corner where I couldn't get room to turn round, and forced me square Into a man's bedroom. I told him I was sorry to call him with such an off hand but he got mad and said that If I didn t draw out of the game he would raise me. "Lcrlwled ?ut of the window at the back of the house Into one of those cheerful little graveyards which are found around Boston, conveniently located for those who contemplate habitual or impulsive suicide on account of Boston crookedness. As l lighted on my feet and broke onT one of those school slates placed at the head of each grave, with the name of the boy that used to own the slate printed on It, I apologized and hoped there wouldn't any of them rise on my account, as I hadn't come to stay. "I ,elt. myself Betting desperate, and I rushed to the common, where I met a woman with a note book and a pencil taking a census of English sparrows. I asked 5fl lf she would unbend and unravel my dlfllculty. She looked up over her glases and I eald: 'Madam, between you and i! I m afraid, that I'm lost.' I am sorry that I said it, for I never heard such a lesson on personal pronouns before. She said: 'Young man, I can endure insults to myself, but when you attack the chastity of Boston lar guage, right here under the shadow of the gilded dome of our beloved Statehouse I don't wonder you say that you are. lost. Our crooked streets are nothing to your barbarous treatment of our treasured pronouns. "Talk about excitement out West! Why. I never had so much excitement in all my life as I have had this morning In trying to find the harbor. Strange how a little thin like an ocean can hide in Boston and give the police so much trouble In finding it, ain't It?" w Silent Tokens. Youth's Companion. Letters from Paris tell us that the divisions of the many political parties have chosen flowers to give silent utterance to their political preferences and opinions. A red carnation worn In the button-hole now means "Vive Lou bet!" a cornflower, "A bas Loubet!" a whit rose.

History ot the First Private Fran. . chlse Granted In London. New York Journal. "I give and bequeath to one-sixteenth of a share In Nw River Water Supply stock, etc." That would appear to be a small bluest, wouldn't it? Yet it means about H'U'jO, a whole share in this marvelous water bonanza being worth to-day on the London market I633.U00. Mr. Thomas A. Fulton. ec. retary of the Citizens' Union, who recently distinguished himself as chairman of the people's committee to fight the Amsterdam water grab, gives a mighty interesting description of this New River Water Company, the stock of which is quoted at such a monster figure. He says that a few weeks ago a share of this stock, original value u, was sold In London for $133,uu0. This extraordinary sale attracted attention, not altogether beeause of the enormous value of the stock, but because of the fact that a whole share had not been sold for many years. Shares have been handed down in families for generations, and In the necessary division they have been split into halves, quarters, eighths, sixteenths and even thirty-seconds. There is no property in the world which can compete with this In its enormous increase of ralue. which arises entirely from the fact that it enjoys a public franchise. The New River Water Company of London is the best illustration of the inexhaustible amount of wealth accruing from the sale of public utilities. There Is a saying In the Western mining districts that a gold mine is a good thing, a silver mine better, but that a good water supply beats them all. The case above quoted confirms this experience. A brief history of the New River Water Company is given here as an Illustration to New Yorkers of the wealth which Is thrown away when public franchises are given out at random. It may be well to state that London is srupplied with water by eight large companies, which obtain their supplies chklly from the upper Thames and from certain small rivers within a relatively short distance of London and from many lare springs and wells, both sunk and artesian. In the rural districts. The supplying cf water to Its citizens Is one of the few matters in which London has not done as well as New York has, and it is probable that we do not appreciate to-day the wisdom and benefit of having the water supply of this city in the hands of the city government. Doubtless half as much is not paid by New Yorkers for it as would be- demanded If St were in the hands of private corporations. About the end of the sixteenth centur a Dutch or Flemish contractor had fct up at Ixmdon bridge a pumping apparatus to draw water from the Thames, which he distributed by pipes through the city. But the result was not satisfactory and in P5 the corporation of London got an act of Parliament enabling them to cut a trench from the springs at Caldwell and Anwell. near Ware, to obtain a better supply. Ths author of this project was Hugh Myddelton, a Welsh gentleman of good family, who had made a hand.ome fortune by working mines In North Wales and was a skillful, practical engineer. As the corporation, after getting legal powers, could not Immediately raise the necessary funds Myddelton undertook th whole work at his own cost and risk. He began Its execution in April, lGS, hoping to finish it In four years. The distance from Ware to London by the road Is about twenty miles, but this canal was obliged to take a winding course of thlrty-even miks to avoid the inequalities of level. It was carried In some, places through subterranean passages or tunnels, and crossed two wide valleys at Bush Hill, near Kntkld. and again near Highbury, In wooden agueducts or troughs lined with lead, of th length respectively of 650 feet and 4S2 feet. The general descent of the stream was three feet in the mile, and it would flow at the rate of two miles an hour, but was dammed back at two or three place to retard its course. Its average breadth was twenty-one feet and Its average depth was four feet. The work proved far more to?tl than Myddelton had expected. He spent all his own money and was forced to ask Kin? James I for help. This was only granted upon his ceding to the King half his pro;erty in the undertaking, while the remainder was divided into shares taken ly certain private "adventurers" who p:tscribed toward the fund. Hence the distinction of "king's shares" and "adventurer's shares" in the quotations of New River stock to this day. The pusillanimous James seems to have been a wise king on this occaFion an.i to have known a good thing when he saw it. The whole expense was about $2.r"0.0" The work was completed in five years anl t half; and Hugh Myddelton received the honor of knighthood, being too poor for that of baronetcy, which the King wouli otherwise have conferred upon hlra. His brother. Sir Thomas, being a rich man. was, en Michealmas day. 1CL3. elected lord miy. r for the ensuing year. He. accompanying Sir John Swlnerton, then lord mayor, attended by many of the aldermen, the recorder and other gentlemen, repaired to tb basin or reservoir called New River Real, when about sixty laborers, handsome'y dressed and wearing green caps, carrying spades, shovels and pickaxes, mjjrched. preceded by drums and trumpets, twice rouni the basin, where, stopping before th lr-1 mayor, aldermen and other gentlemen. whJ were seated upon an eminence, enc of U laborers addressed himself to them in long series of verses, which, being en-led, the sluices were opeLed, and the stream ran plentifully into the reservoir mlist the sound of drums and trumpets, the discharge of several pieces of ordnance sr.J the loud acclamation of the people. The project, although it ruined its first promoter, turned out to be of unspeakable brr.er.t to the city, putting a speedy stop to a number of dreadful fires and conducing to the health of the citizens "by the cleanliness it has brought among us." Yet so little wrre its advantages understood that "for abos thirty years there were not divided above 5 odd money to each of the share, which are seventy-two in number." Thus began the oldest of the great water companies, which was then profitless to lti promoters: but at the end of the last century shares fer which 100 had origlnalir been given were selling at 9.0u0 to 10.iO apiece, and the value of the shares i-tttns te have constantly risen till they reached the sum above quoted. It may be added that some of the. "adventurers' shares" went a begging at first, selling for as little as U The earnings to-day of one of these shares are about 123.000 a year. Experienced.
