avenue. Excessive heat for the last few dajs, was yesterday tempered by cooling: breezes, has resulted in many prostrations, but only one death. George Young, sixty-two years old, who overcome by heat Monday afternoon, died at the Emergency Hospital yesterday. From the time Mr. Young was stricken and taken to the hospital he never fully regained consciousness.

Although there were severad caijds on his person bearing his name, with no address, it was with great difficulty that the police located any of his relatives. They finally found his daughter, who lives at 1217 street northwest. Oldon twenty years old, -of Kensington, was overcome by heat and taken to Emergency Hospital, where his condition was found not to be serious. While other persons have been overcome by heat, William Page, colored, fourteen years old, was overcome by cold. Page Is employed by W.

W. Johnson as a helper on an lee "wagon. In handling a block of ice, his foot slipped, and he fell against a pair of Ice tongs, which Inflicted an ugly wound in his hip. He was conveyed to Georgetown University Hospital Great relief was experienced yesterday because of the laggard movements of the thermometer. Under ordinary circumstances, a temperature of 85 degress is considered hot.

But following closfely upon days when the mercury approached perilously near the century mark, according to the" Weather Bureau; arid away above It, as registered by street thermometers, It Is considered almost comfortably cool. The weather man could be-, led Into making no predictions for cooler weather, although he admitted that to-day would be marked by local rains, variable winds, and. thunderstorms. The words "variable winds" are eagerly seized i as a pretext for believing that the hottest part of August has passed. Anyway it-JS certain that variable winds cannot bJ0w from the South all the time, or they would lose their qualifying adjective.

Ice men. who are usually supposed to contemplate excessively hot weather with sa'tanic Joy, have sided with the people in Washington on this year in "piilling" for cooler weather. Too much hot weather, they say, will result In too little Ice, -and next to being Indicted an Ice. man dislikes to "say "no ice" to a customer who has a few hundred dollars worth of perishable goods on hand. But the way the thermometers behaved themselves yesterday, coupled with the promise of the Weather Bureau for rain, prospects for a comfortable summer, with plenty of Ice to cool' tea or other llflulds, are said to be good.

The descent of the mercury from 6 until 9 o'clock last evening was so fast that some nervous people were almost ready to predict a frost. Insomnia, however, caused by the heat, was certainly given a frost that congealed It to the marrow. Mothers are again their children to say bless the man who first Invented sleep, so Sancho Panza says, and so say 1." Rheumatism Does not let go of you when you apply lotions or liniments.

When-seen by a reporter for at the House of yesterda'y, the boy, with his face wreathed in smiles, said: "Of course. I am sorry now that I took the money."

"I was sent down to Moran's coal yard at 1744 Pennsylvania and given 150 to take up to the store at 2J26 'Pennsylvania avenue. Lots of times before I had taken more money than 160 from one place to the other, on this day the boss had called me down and made me mad, and then I had seen an ad, in the paper where he was trying to get another boy, so I suddenly made up my mind to skip with the money.
