THE RICHMOND PAL jLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, JUNE 22, 1903.
1M0T THE HOTTEST DAY.
ACCORDING TO RECORDS KEPT BY OBSERVER VOSSLER THERE HAVE BEEN THREE WARMER DAYS THIS YEAR.
Whew! My goodness, this must be the warmest day of the year." How many times was that expression or one similar, spoken yesterday. But it wasn't the warmest day of the season not by two degrees, according to the government instrument at the observatory at the water works pumping station Only eighty-nine degrees were registered. Three times previously the, latest last Friday, the instrument had. marked up ninetyone degrees as the, maximum. Maybe the thermometer at the observatory did not show it,
I'huttft will be hard to convince the pub-
11c that as a real genuine, sizzling, scorcher, brown on both sides and 'burnt In the middle, yesterday had them all beaten.
j No 'heat prostrations were reported, ; and this. is, no doubt due to the well I shaded 6treets of the city. Trees are j one of the sources of pride locally and they never were more appreciated. ; Throughout the day there was a brisk breeze that did much to counteract the i ffect of the burning sun. About 5 ; o'clock the breeze hied to other parts and the warmest part of the twenty-
i four hours was in the early evening,
i It was sweltering and evey movement
-occasioned a flood of perspiration.
There was a general exodus from the
j city. Of the thousands who remained
. at home, the major portion visited
Glen Miller park during the afternoon i or evening. That there is a local ap-
I preclation of this woodland never was j more evident. Early in the morning
i the cooling shades were sought out and there were dozens of families that
sought a well adapted spot and remain
ed from that time until the curfew bell rang at 10 o'clock. Every little nook
and dale offered a resting place for a
picnic party. The monkey cage and,
bear pit were central points of attrac- ' tions. Crowds surrounded the monkeys at all times and the little crea
tures enjoyed a feast of peanuts and
. candy. The first band concert of the season was given by the city band. The concert was highly enjoyable to the ! hundreds of persons that heard it. 1 There is no doubt but that these con- , certs will prove an excellent attraction T and one that will be appreciated great- ' ly by the public. , According to the report of Walter jVossIer, voluntary observer at the j waterworks station the last three days jof last week had an unusually high I average temperature. The average ! for Thursday, Friday and Saturday was 1 80 degrees maximum and 65 1-3 minliffium. The nights have been remark- ! ably cool and on last Tuesday night SO j degrees were recorded or within 7 de- ' greesof the freezing point. The minimum yester day was 65 degrees. The temperature for the past week ; was astfollows:

Indianapolis, Ind., June 22. There has been a quick Aod to the demo
cratic show at Denver, and the news
paper correspondents who went
through the Chicago whirl will have little rest. In fact, some of -the Indiana contingent have gone right on to
the Colorado city without taking a
breath, so to speak, and Denver will
be in the spotlight until after the week of July 5. Now that Fairbanks lost
out and Indiana is without representa
tion on the republican national tick
et, the call for John W. Kern has grown stronger, and it need surprise
nobody if he is named for the vicepresidency by the democrats. He is an
interesting ngure on the streets of
Indianapolis these days. He usually gets down town about 9 in the morning, and he is held up for many a
hand shake before he reaches his law offices. He is careful as to expressing himself, but his friends know of the strong friendship between Bryan and Kern, and of Bryan's remark when
Kern once said that he couldn't afford
to pay rent in Washington:
'Well, said the Nebraskan, "you
needn't worry about that. I'll give you
room at the white house."
Anyhow, things look good for John
W. Kern.

The Scratcher Mar Afterward Get a Liurbt on Prison Bars. Mr. Smoker, see to it that your Un
cle Samuel doesn't catch you striking a match on one of his mail boxes.
He'll surely make trouble for you if
he can prove that a certain scratch on the metal of one of those gray boxes on the corners was made by your draw
ing the tip of a lucifer across it.
That's about what the mail carrier
told the fellow who is handing you this advice. It was given just after
tne adviser had stopped, feeling "smoky" after coming out of an office where they wouldn't let him puff the stogie he had in his pocket, to scratch a match on the mail box. He was rather surprised when the mail carrier, coming up to unlock the box, said: "Don't do that!"
"Why not?" he queried. "I've been doing it for years It doesn't hurt the box. Other fellows and myself have scratched matches on the top of this mail box for years, and there Is only a little worn patch on the metal to show for It." "Well, go ahead if you want to," sighed the mail carrier. "But remember that, if the inspector sees you, up you go on a charge of defacing government property. And you know that if the inspector ever gets you it's you for scratching matches on the prison bars for a day or so. By-by." Detroit News.
When the beautiful new Trinity Lutheran church was thrown open to the public for the first time. Sunday, and when Hosanna3 were sung and a spirit of reverence, rejoicing and thanksgiving spread over all, there was one
man in the audience who was strangely touched with the occasion, probably more so than any other and that was the Rev. II. Wickemeyer of Michigan City. It was he who founded the church, who, although his ministerial labors have called him into other fields, has watched the rapid growth of the congregation from its infancy to
its present place one of the first in the city of Richmond. It was he who
fathered the little group of English
Lutheran worshippers; it was he who
installed the present pastor, the Rev. J. O. Beck and it was he, who during
the sixteen years of the church's ex
istence in the city of Richmond, has
lended encouragement to the parishion
ers and their pastor in everything looking toward the betterment of their
welfare. He could have been but impressed His emotions could not have but over
whelmed him, when he observed that
the dreams of years ago, were realized and that he above all others, the father of the church was called back to be the chief figure in the dedicator' exercises. The Rev. Mr. Wickemeyer has played an important part in the development of the religious life of Richmond. Shortly after leaving Capital University at Columbus, O., he came to Richmond and accepted the pastorate of the St. Paul's Lutheran church and labored there until 1876. It was then he began his long service for the St.. John's Lutheran church. He was a father, a brother and counsellor to the
hundreds of members of the organization. He did not confine his work
amongst his parishioners but the sick and needy over the entire city received the same loving care from him as did those closer to him. He is a man
who inspires all with whom he comes
in close contact and owing to this magnetic personality, he was able to accomplish great things not only for his
own church but the city as a whole.
It was a feeling of sadness that came
over St. John's church when the Rev. Mr. Wickemeyer announced to it. that
he had accepted a call to Michigan City. This was in 1894. Since that
date he has cared for the needsof his flock in the northern Indiana town i
with the same care and in the same loving way, as he cared for his neonle
in Richmond. Sunday was a busy day for the Rev. Mr. Wickemeyer, for in addition to speaking to the several different audiences at the Trinity Lutheran church, he spoke once before the Sunday school of the St. Paul's Lutheran
church. He was affectionately greeted by hundreds of his friends. He will leave this evening for Michigan City.
LIBERTY YOUNG MAN
MEETS WITH ACCIDENT Has Eye Injured and Is Brought To This City.
Liberty, Ind., June 22. Edward Kain superintendent of construction of the Liberty Telephone company, met with an accident Sunday morning which will probably cost him the sight of his right eye. He was working in the J. C. Xorris block, wiring the steel ceiling for a nickelodeum, when the screw driver which he was handling, slipped its hold, the sharp point entering the eye socket near the nose and penetrating the eyeball. Local physicians did
all in their power to alleviate his suffering. Later in the afternoon he was taken to Richmond in hopes that experts in that city might save the sight of the injured optic.

now the Great Penguin Hatches. It may interest you to know that the great penguin of the southern circle standing with its head as high as a man's waist, hatches its eggs in a peculiar manner. These are not laid upon 'the ground and brooded on after the manner of most birds' eggs. The female lays two large eggs. The first 6he hands over to the male bird, the other she keeps. The egg is held on the upper surface of the large flat feet.

So tenacious are the parent birds of this grip that if you knock one of them over it will fall on its back with its feet stuck stiffly out, still clutching the egg to its body. Saturday Review.

TENNYSON'S MOODS.
Tommy and His Pets. The British soldier is inordinately fond of his animal pets and has also the reputation of coveting those of his neighbors, particularly dogs and mongooses. Parrots be simply adores, and it is calculated that their strength in the service is in the proportion of at least six birds a Tommy. He is supposed to teach them to be personal in their language, but as a matter of fact Tommy is for some unaccountable reason a very emotional man, and his birds as often as not have to submit to a sound musical education, hymns being as often taught them as" the comic songs of the day.

Cecentric Manner In Which the Poet Received Some Visitors.
It was an eccentric reception that
Sir Henry Rosco was given when he
visited Lord Tennyson. The former
had been unwilling to intrude on the poet, but consented to accompany a friend, William Summers, who had a note of introduction from .Sir Lewis Morris. They found Tennyson at lunch. Sir Henry writes of it: "Ten

which I expressed great astonishment.
not thinking that he had ever heard
of me.
"And thereupon he produced a small
vial containing saccharin, on the out
side of which was an advertisement
containing a few lines of some appreciatory remarks respecting saccharin
which I had made in a lecture at the Royal institute. This notice I had
never seen, and on my return home I
wrote to the proprietors requesting
tnem to stop issuing such notices, as I could not have my name used for advertising purposes, and this they did. "In a few minutes, without further conversation, Tennyson rose and said: 'Well, I must bid you goodby, for I must now lie down. I am going to smoke a cigar and go to sleep.' Upon which he walked out of the room, giving a distant nod to my disconsolate friend, Will Summers, who had come on purpose to interview the poet, but with whom he had not exchanged a single word."

Boston. Mass., June 22. The ninth
Diennial convention of the General
Federation of Women's clubs which opens In Boston this week, promises to eclipse any meeting of women ever
held. From every section of America spe
cial trains and special cars are pulling into Boston with their burden of the
representative women of America. Ev
ery state in the union will be repre
sented when the tide has filled Boston
to overflowing, as the outlook suggests
Even from the Canal Zone two women
are expected to represent their isolat
ed yet thriving club. Over 800,000
club women are represented in the
present biennial. Friendly Rivals. Of particular interest to the club wo men of the Middle West is the declara
tion made by both parties to a suppos
ed contest for the presidency of the federation, one, a St. Louis woman. Mrs. Philip N. Moore, and the other aspirant, Mrs. Van Alden Ward, that there will be no political fight for the office.
Tersistent rumors that the Missouri women intended to wage a 'warm warfare are denied, and the two supposed rivals declare they are the best of friends. The contention will formally open Tuesday evening, June 23, in Symphony Hall, and will continue until the
following Tuesday evening, June 30. For two years the local biennial committee has been busy planning and
working out the details necessary for entertaining such a large organization. This involved the appointment of
something like 2.500 women to serve on the various committees of entertainment. Thousands Expected. There will be 3.000 delegates and alternates to the convention. But so great is the interest in the Boston convention that hundreds of club women who are not delegates will come with the official parties from the different states. The convention will convene in Symphony hall, and there will be overflow meetings in Chickering Hall, and also duplicate meetings. The official headquarters will be at the Hotel Vendome. There will also be various places assigned as official headquarters of the different state federations.

THE FRENCHMAN'S DINNER
Happy and Care Free In the Etci iBK l the True Parisian. The Frenchman, with all his politeness and little niceties, is not a good dresser. He Is nowhere near the class

skill.
As a rule, however, there are other
things that mean much more to him
than mere clothes. For Instance, he likes to dine. Every Frenchman. In
the proper sense of the word, dines
in the evening. He prefers highly seasoned food if he can get it and service
of a corresponding degree of excellence. But dine he must and dine he will if not a good dinner, then a poor one. He must have his soup, his fish, a roast, an entree, some salad, dessert and a bit of cheese. With this he has wine, the vintage regulated by the size of his bank rolL His coffee, in the summer time, he will take outside with a cigarette or cigar, and his enjoyment is not complete unless he bears the strains of an orchestra. He is not, perhaps, so passionately fond of music as the German, but still he likes it and will have it if he can afford it. He is gay andhappy in the evenings, is the Frenchman, and hi? cares, whatever they are, he dismisses tomporarlly. He rises late, and he dines late. Nine o'clock is about the proper hour for the coffee, after he has paid bis respects to the various courses. Then he Is ready for the gay life.

Thus Mysterious Prisoner Speaks of His Mode Of Living.
IDENTITY STILL UNKNOWN.
Who he is or where he came from is not known. In order that the sheriff may establish his identity, he has been committed to the county jail for ten days. This morning in city court he said his name is William Rinehart. Saturday afternoon it was George Lingerman and In the meantime has been several other things. Rinehart of today, Lingerman of Saturday, is the man captured by the sheriff and Sergeant McManus on the Union Pike Saturday afternoon, after he had terrorized the residents of the community. He is believed to be unbalanced mentally. . "Just bummin' " was the only answer he would give today when asked
what he was doing on the pike. He named several different towns which he said he had come from, but gave Ridgeville as the last place visited. He continues to maintain he formerly resided on Spring street, Jeffersonville. He denies ever having been In the reformatory at that place. When he appeared in police court, Rinehart was not recognized by Sergeant McManus. The alteration in the man's appearance had been done at the hands of prisoners in the Jail. They had provided him with a complete outfit of clothing and on his feet
was a pair of light-weight, old, leather boots. He had been given a bath and subjected to a thorough disinfection. The long hair that adorned his head Saturday was removed with a pair of slippers. Carl Huntington did the barbering. In the ten days allotted him, the sheriff will write to the county in
stitutions of this vicinity and also to
Jefferson ville in the effort to secure Information in regard to the stranger. Rinehart says he does not want to work and in answer to every question as to his mode of living answers: "Just bummin."
