He had a heavy carry-over from last night or an unusually early acquired package that bore down too heavily on the strength of his legs. He was not In condition for trial and the case li continued, until tomorrow.

NO PROSTRATIONS BUTMUCHSICKIIESS Hot Weather of the Past Few Days Responsible for Condition.

THE WATER IS NOT BAD. SICKNESS IS DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ALONE, PHYSI CIANS STATE RULES WHICH SHOULD BE OBSERVED. Despite the fact that in th past three days Richmond has experienced the hottest weather of the summer no cases of heat prostration have yet been reported. Today nearly all the physicians in the city were Interview ed and they reported that although there were no cases of heat prostra tion there was a considerable amount of sickness in the city, principally stomach troubles, as a result of the high temperature. There has been a report curren that much of the sickness In the city is due to the water. This report is not correct. The water is as good as could be desired and the intense heat alone is responsible for the illness of those people suffering with stomach complaints," said a well known physi cian. "As long as this hot weather lasts people should take the precaution not to be exposed to the sun any more than is absolutely necessary. Little meat should be eaten, while plenty of fruit will hurt no one." stated another physician. At noon today the mercury register ed 91 degrees -at the local branch of the United States weather bureau Mr. Vossler, the weather merchant, stated that the temperature at noon yesterday registered the same as it did at noon today but that he expect ed the temperature would between and 3 o'clock soar up to 92 degrees making it one degree hotter than it was at any time yesterday. In the uptown district the thermometer reg istered 99 degrees this afternoon. Local phsicians indorse the follow ing rules for the proper care of the body during hot weather: The prevention of sunstroke is .Tornethlng that every one ought to consider during these hot, sultry mid summer days. The observance of a few simple rules would prevent a large nuniber of the heat prostrations The most important single piece of advice that ca. be given to those who would avoid heat prostration is to leave beer and whisky alone. A large percentage of the prostrations occur among drinking men. When the temperatte is over 100 degrees in the sun or 90 degrees in the shade we need no heating food For this reason meat should not be eaten more than twice or three times a week. A diet of vegetables, fruits and buttermilk should replace it. We wear clothes to keep the seat of the body in. That is one of the principal reasons for the phenomena of clothing. But in summer this rea son has no force, and we should therefore wear clothes light enough to let the heat of our bodies out. Lastly, don't worry! Don't look at the thermometer! If it is hot you can safely assume that the other fellow knows it. And it is certain that to tell him of it will make both of you several degrees hotter. These rules are for those that are well. The man who is below par needs other precautions. People with affec tions of the heart or kidneys or other diseases that lower the vitality should be cautious about putting a strain on the weakened part. In most of the cases of ordinary heat prostration the heat is nothing more than the straw that broke the camel's back. TRICKS OF WRITERS. A Ruse by Which Kipling Piqued His Readers' Curiosity. "When I first began to read Kipling," said an admirer, "my curiosity was immensely piqued by the scraps of verse with which he usually beaded his early stories. They were all credited to poems I had never heard of in my life and were Just such salient, striking fragments as would naturally whet one's appetite for the remainder. For over a year I tried hard to locate those mysterious poems and enlisted half a dozen book dealers in the search. At last one of them wrote me that I was wasting time and that the alleged quotations were merely Mr. Kipling's little Joke. "In other words, he manufactured 'em to order and stuck them at the top of his tales for the sake of the odor of erudition they lent to the production. I was mad for a while, but when. I cooled, off I had a good big laugh. Of course you know Scott used to do the same thing, and so, for that matter, did Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was really the worst quotation fakir of the lot "He would write wWe sounding detached sentences and credit them to Imaginary German philosophers with long, outlandish' and Impressive names. However, I don't know why the thing should be punishable. The business of a writer of fiction Is to create an illusion, and as long as he does it I1 for one am not particular what means he employs to contribute to the end." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Scotland seems a strange place to And a statue of Abraham Lincoln, and yet there Is one there. It adorns a monument erected in old Calton Ing ground, Edinburgh, to the memory of the Scottish Americana who iuusai in tne American civil war.

OVER FOUR HUNDRED

SALOONS PUT OUT Rapid Strides Toward Prohibition in Ohio. Columbus, O., July 31. According to the state auditor's report just sub mitted there are 458 fewer saloons in Ohio than there were Jan. 1 last. This reduces the state's revenues since Jan. 1, $397,207. It is believed, how ever, that the revenue this year and the $1,000 Aiken tax will amount to about $5,000,000. SUCCESS OF EVENT IS Great Demand for Chautauqua Tickets Up to the Present Time. CAMPING IS POPULAR. PLAT WILL OPEN TOMORROW MORNING AND THERE IS EVERY INDICATION THAT THE DEMAND FOR TENTS WILL BE LARGE. Although the sale of the $1.50 Chautauqua tickets has only been on for about three days the tickets are being sold fast Over half of them have already been sold. The prospects for the Chautauqua this year are excel lent. A fine program has been ar ranged, and it is considered by many one of the best that the patrons of the Chautauqua have ever been offered. This year there will Do more out of town people seen at the meeting than there have been before. Mr. Shera who is secretary of the Chautauqua has received many inquiries in regard td campers prices. There will be campers from Fountain City, Centerville, New Paris and Eaton and a number of other nearby towns. Cam onage jity win De present witn a large delegation. The Chautauqua plat for the differ ent lots will be opened for the camp ers of last year at the Commercial club rooms tomorrow morning. The campers of last year will have from tomorrow, Saturday, August 1 to Sat urday, August 8 to reserve the ground they had last year. After that time any who wish to camp out, may en gage a lot and tents and other arti cles needed for camping out. All indications point towards the largest number of camperB in the his tory of the Chautauqua. Although the freight line of the Dayton and Western traction company is being built through the Glen at Twenty-third street will be in a way harmful, it will not interfere materially with the grounds as they have been extended in some places. Old English Pence. Halfpence and farthings were not coined in England before the time of Edward I., and until they were the penny, which was then made of silver, was issued deeply indented with a cross In order that it might be broken Into two pieces for halfpennies or into four things, or farthings. The silver penny was the first coin of the AngloSaxons struck in England. In 1672 an authorized coinage of copper pennies, halfpennies and farthings was estab lished. Silver farthings ceased to be coined under Edward VI. and silver halfpennies under the commonwealth. A Mother's Retort. Dr. Breckenridge, a well known American clergyman, and his two brothers, also of the swne profession, one day paid a visit to their mother. "Do you not think, mother," said he, that you ruled us with too rigid a rod in our boyhood? It would have been better, I think, had you used gentler methods." The old lady straightened up and said, "Well, William, when you have raised up three as good preachers as I have, then you can talk!" Horseless Carriages In 1645. In one of the letters of Grul Patin, written In 1645, the learned bibliophile says: "It Is true that there is here an Englishman, the son of a French man, who proposes to make carriages that will roll from Paris to Fontalnebleu without horses in a day. The new machine is preparing In the Temple. If It should succeed there will be a great saving of hay and oats, which are at present extremely costly. Xot So Terrible. Physician You lie awake in bed three or four hours every night? That is bad. I shall have to treat you for chronic insomnia. Caller (whose salary is $14 a week) Er no, doctor I don't think it's as bad as that. I simply cant sleep. Everr Action Coasts. There is no action so slight nor so mean but it may be done to a great purpose and ennobled therefore, nor Is any purpose so great but that slight actions may help It. Woman's Life. Preventive Measures. A French prefect once wrote to a i mayor requesting him to take precau tions against the cholera, which had broken out In his department. The mayor was rather puzsled at these Instructions, which appeared vague to him, but after deep thought he answered that be and his electors were prepared for the plague. On Inquiring into the measures tak en by the worthy mayor in order to ascertain their efficiency It appeared that

WRECKS AN AUTO;

THEN SKIPS T Wilbur Evans Sends Gaines' Car Into Telephone Pole. TOOK FRIENDS OUT RIDING. AFTER HE HAD WRECKED EVANS RETURNED TO MOND, LEFT WORD OF DENT AND THEN LEFT. CAR, S. B. Gaines, one of the proprietors of the Auto Inn, is looking for a young man, Wilbur Evans, who has for some time been employed at the garage. However, Evans is numbered among the missing. The cause of his disappearance was the wrecking of Mr. Gaines' Buick machine last evening near New Hope, O. Gaines has threatened to have Evans arrested if he succeeds in locating him. Mr. Gaines stated today that last evening after he and his partner, Lauren Whitesell, had left the Auto Inn, Evans took the Buick and with three companions, whose names are unknown to Mr. Whitesell, went out for a little trip. While running along the road near New Hope, Evans lost control of the machine and it dashed into a telephone pole, completely wrecking the front part of the car. The driver and his three friends walked back to Richmond. Evans stopped at the Auto Inn and informed a man who was there to tell Gaines as soon as he came to work that he woulcf find what was left of his machine near New Hope. The young man also stated that he was going to leave town. Mr. Gaines states that he understands the young man left Richmond about 5 o'clock. When Gaines went to New Hope he found his car nothing but a pile of Junk. Today he has made several efforts to ascertain who Evans' three companions were, but so far his efforts have been met with success. Young Evans is a machinist and has always been known as a quiet, industrious young man. His friends great ly regret his action of leaving the city and feel confident that after he has fully considered the matter he will return here and "face the music." MOVING ON FRIDAY. There Seems to Be a. Lot of Snperstl. tlon About It. "Friday is a kind of holiday in out business," said the professional mover, "There is a big lot of superstition in this matter, aud, except in cases of actual necessity, it is hard to get any body to move on Friday. If a few families that intend to change quar ters soon could only be induced to put aside their foolish prejudice against the sixth day of the week they could be set up in their new home with half the trouble and inconvenience they will experience on any other day. I have explained that to many prospective customers, but the chances are that most of them will vote to Join the rush rather than tempt bad luck by moving on Friday. "Most of our movers dislike Friday as much as the customers. Whatever Jobs are assigned to them they attend to, of course, but every last man in our employ will be glad if not a single order was booked for Friday. They claim that every smashup they figure in, every accident to the furniture through loss or breakage, occurs on a Friday, so for their own sake they uphold ,the customers in their fight against Friday." New York Press. ENGLISH ROYAL VETO. It Is Practically Kxtlnct, Not Having Been t'sed Since 1TOS. The earliest mention of the exercise of the royal veto was when King Henry V., Bhortly after the victory of Agincourt, said "Le roy s'avisera" (the king will consider it) to a petition of parliament against the transferring of suits at common law Into chancery. Many instances are mentioned during succeeding reigns until that of Queen Anne, who is responsible for the latest exercise of this very Interesting power In refusing , the sovereign's assent to the bill for settling the militia of Scotland, passed by the lords and the commons on March 17, 1708. This Is recorded in the Journals of the house of lords. Since 1708 the veto has never been used, though there was a threatened exercise of royal power of rejection toward the close of the reign of George HI. and also by Queen Victoria In 1858. Mr. Bagehot considered that this power Is extinct and added that "Queen Victoria must sign her own death warrant if both houses present It for her signature." London Standard. Wild California. A geography published In 1812 contains the following startling description of that section of our country which Charles Dudley Warner baptized "Our Italy." "California is a wild and almost unknown land, covered throughout the year by dense fogs as damp as they are unhealthful. On the northern shores live anthropophagi, and In the Interior are active volcanoes and Tast plains of shifting snow, which sometimes shoot up columns to inconceivable heights." The book adds that some of these statements would seem incredible were they not so well authenticated by trustworthy travelers 1

For some time he had been in poor health. The fall of last night was tho third he had Buffered on the stairway. In the other instances he had been caught by Charles Graam and Lewis Parker. Cook appeared in his usual health last evening and had been talking and JkinS with friends about the hotel Just a few minutes before he ascended the stairway with the intention of retiring.

ULYSSES COOK RELEASED AS ONE OF THE DEFENDANTS IN RESTRAINING ORDER DEDICATION TO PROCEED. Upon the motion of Robert Study. attorney for the defense in the case of Simpson Oxendine et al vs. Noah Williams et al., the restraining order that had been granted Wednesday was dissolved In as far as it con cerned Ulysses Cook, the contractor. who was named as a defendant. The court has Instructed Cook to proceed with the work of redecorating the church. The hearing of the petition to make the injunction permanent will be August 15. The claim is being made by some members of the Bethel A. M. E. church, whose trustees are involved in a squabble, that the suit was brought as a matter of spite work. The asser tion is made that it is the desire of the plaintiffs to endeavor to hold up the work now in progress so as to necessitate a postponement of the date for the dedication, August 16. In their complaint the plaintiffs assert no provision was made for the extra expense that will result from the additional improvements. The Rev. Mr. Williams, pastor of the church, claims the money required to meet the extra expense has been raised. The dedication will be held on the date planned for originally. An Interesting program has, been prepared and the event will be of importance to the church. In all our schools nowadays nature study goes closely in hand with the cult of kindness to animals.

TURKISH REFUGEES CAN RETURN HOME Sultan Issues General Amnesty to Political Prisoners Abroad. HAD MANY MISGIVINGS. THOUGHT THAT THE SULTAN MAY BE OVERTHROWN AS THERE IS A FEELING THAT THIS STEP SHOULD BE TAKEN. Constantinople, July 31. The most important event in new constitutional government of Turkey was an imperial irade granting general amnesty to political prisoners abroad, which affects in the United States some 400,000 Armenians and other former residents of Turkey. Despite the anxiety of the Sultan to appease his subjects, there seems to be a secret movement on foot to dethrone him and oust all officials who held the people in tyranny. The Young Turks are masters of Constantinople and the European provinces and except in the capital the feeling is anything but favorable to the Sultan. Even in Constantinople disloyal cries were heard during the recent street demonstrations. At a banquet given in Seres to celebrate the re-establishment of the constitution the name of the Sultan was hooted, while the Christians at this place are beginning to entertain misgivings as to the sincerity of the professions of the Young Turks. Everybody has been greatly Impressed with the perfect organization of the movement and the absolute discipline in all ranks. The directing hand of the movement Is still Invisible and unknown. GREAT REJOICING. Among New York Turks Over General Amnesty. New York, July 31. Through his consul-general in this city, MundJi Bey, Abdul Hamil. Sultan of Turkey, has announced a general amnesty to all Turkish political fugitives In this city, regardless of race. There are nearly 400,000 Turkish citizens in this country and fully half of them are political refugees. The consul-general's office was crowded with persons who had come to see if it were true that they could go back to Europe without fear of punishment It is likely that many of them will return shortly to their home country. There is great rejoicing In the Turkish colony. READ POEM, THEN COMMITTED SUICIDE Unknown Woman Jumps in Ohio River. Cincinnati, July 31.
