Forecaster Townsend, of Philadel-phia,
and others In a position to know
put yesterday In the front rank among
this Summer's uncomfortabledays. The
excessive humidity, together with th
high temperature, made everybody feel
miserable all through the day.
Weather such as yesterday's will
prevail Tor some time, the forecaster
announced last night. He said that
there Is little likelihood that another
torrid wavo will bear down on Phila-delphia,
although waves of tbe hoi sort
seem to be coming In this direction
from the southeast and northeaat. He
predicted that the thermometer would
Bhow much higher figures, but none so
high as those In the recent hot spell.
The official forecast sent out from
Washington yesterday said that the
weather would continue wafrm nnd
generally fair on Tuesday and prob-ably
Wednesday. It also predicted light
south winds, such as prevailed yester-day.
Humidity was the worst feature of
yesterday's weather. At some periods
In the day the weatherman estimated
that the atmospheric dampness was as
high as 90 per cent. Toward evening
It decreased somewhat, and at 8 o'clock
the pei i entarr was only 84. Besides
this, the temperature throughout the
ia> was 3 degrees In excess of the nor-mal
figures. The maximum was reach-ed
at 4 o'clock when the mercury stood
opposite the 87 degree mark.
The (humidity played hav... with
clothing anil personnl feelings. Men
and women walking up nnd down the
stie.ts In the center of the city ap-peared
to suiiei nrai lv as much as when
the tin ruionictcr was at 103 degrees.
It was reported that a number of
mills were forced to close down by the
humidity. The dampness, It was said,
bud made It Impossible to work many
looms on these ms/ihlims are long
rows of twine which serve to mark out
the patterns In the looms. The damp-ness
hud caused a shrinkage of from a
half Inch to an Inch In some of these
string.:. Artificial means of drying
tin i.. had -proved Ineffective, so the
mills were forced to close, It was de-clared.
In : inn-, and other places It
was said that the dampness had caus-ed
^rrot annoyance nnd Inconvenience.
There was n small but happy crowd
of sp.vlators who left the Conshohock-eii
Ball grounds In a downpour of rain
on Saturday afternoon after the gsjne
had hen called at the end of theelgbtb
inning, and the cause of all the happi-ness
was that the home team has once
more pulled themselves together and
defeated the lla.ldlngton team of New
Jersey by the score of 5 to 2.
The game was one of the hardest
fought which has been played here this
year and It was a, credit to the Y. M.
A. A. to win such a victory as they did
so by superior playing. The game was
characterized by fine Heading and
some heavy hitting by the local team
which alone tells the tale of how they
succeeded In driving the harpoon Into
the Jerseyltes.
The locnl team was stronger for this
occasion thnn they have boon at any
other time this year and from now on
they should hold their own with any
team they buck up against. With
Drown and Saylor of Norrlatown at
second nnd third respectively they
made the infield almost unpenetratable
and the whole team played a fastgajne.
Crimean was on the slab for the lo-calltes
and the way In which he threw
the dew drops up to the visitors was a
surprise to most of the few spectators.
He hnd lots of Bpced and but for the
two errors behind him would probably
have shut the visiting cracks out. They
were only able to get two hits off him
and he did not give a base on balls.
Hi-kendorf on the other hand, while he
pitched a good game was hit at op-portune
times and the locals did not
have much trouble In running up five
runs.
Hn the first Inning the visitors failed
to score and the locals went In and
made enough humps to 3core three
runs. For the next round It was nip
and tuck with neither side tallying.
In the third Inning, however, the vis-itors
broke the lee ivl scored one run.
For two more Innlngatlieybattled with
neither side gaining an advantage but
in the sixth the Are works started to
go off and the visitors contributed an-other
score while the locals went them
one belter and scored two. This how-ever,
ended the scoring and at the end
of the eighth Inning Crnplre Smith
culled the game on account of rain.

The little wild lower with its wealth
of dainty beauty does not confine It-self,
at all times, to the broad expanse
of meadow and field. On a mission
01 lieiiellclence It frequently dispels the
cloii.l 111 many a home where little
oil.,,- brightness nits pciirirated, ani as
silent messenger of sympathy in the
gloomy wards 01 the hoi.pitals ol the
crowded city It makes its appeal, si-lently,
to be sure, but with a Cores aa
eloquent as It is unheard, ll Is this
work which the Flower, Fruit and tee
Mission, of Philadelphia dining its
twentj eight yean of —Himrt. has
■fully carried on, the good it ac-complishes
being apparent In the range
1 1 area which ils activities cove,
.St. l.uktes Church, on linn-- nib
ire. 1 below Spruce street, lias provid-ed
a place in which the work may be
carried on. and the railroad and ex-press
romjianies evidence a friendly co-operation
by transporting the flowers,
free, from the suburban stntions where
generous bauds have thoughtfully plac-ed
them in huge baskets and lioxes to
carry friy-rance of wood and meadow
land to refresh and brighten the gloom
of suffering in the hospitals and hum
bie homes of the city.
It is an animated scene the mission
presents when the express companies
deposit their burdens of sweetness ev-ery
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.
The old-fashioned posies, so fraught
with asso, I.oi,,1, „f quaint country gar-dens,
the graceful nasturtium, thesweet
peas, the dahlias and the quaint brown
eyes BusMS art strewn in graceful pro-fusion
on the tables around which two
dozen girlish figures, who voluntarlly
hestow their youth and energy on the
work, rtre gathered to arrange the
flowers In bunchesand blend their dain-ty
colorings for distribution. They
themselves with the officers of tho mis-sion,
carry them to the various hos-pitals,
and place them In tbe hands of
those to whom they come as a real
blesslag, messengers which reawaken
hope. As many as four hundred bou-quets
a week depart on this gentle mis-sion
to hospitals and Invalids In
homes of poverty.
But the Flower, Fruit and Ice Mis-sion
does not limit Its endeavors to
flowers. As Its name signifies, It looks
to the distribution of lee during the
summer to the sick who are unable to
secure this sick room essential for
themselves. The contributions of mon-ey
to this fund are voluntary, the
scheme of organization resolving itself
Into the giving of tickets to those who
need the assistance of the mission to
secure Ice from the Ice conlpanlea
which the mission afterwards pays
from tho donations of contributors.
Tne Sick Diet Kitchens have many
calls for help of this character BO that
the Ice mission extends Its usefulness
uy giving the money for ice to three
well known organizations, looking to
them for Its Judicious dispensation.
The distribution of fruits and Jellies,
which are so refreshing to the tired
invalid, Is an Interesting part of the
work, the contributions to which, like
those of flowers are absolutely volun-tary.
Fresh mint, which is regarded
as commonplace In many a garden end
meadow, Is looked ii|K>n by the patients
as a real luxury, and n little biiuch of
mint, when It appear, must be divided
into very small pieces, to satisfy the
real craving for It which the illsp.n. .is
of this chnrlty have found exists. The
mission's Is a beautiful work, realty
touching in Its dispensation, bringing
brightness to the lowliest, teaching
them to look beyond the shadows tc
the atiullght.

one of the most active of her perse-cutors.
A legend about her says that
while In prison awaiting death she was
visited by a dragon. She was swal-lowed
by the dragon, who Immediately
burst asunder, leaving her unharmed.
Many places dispute ns to the honor
of being her lnst resting place
St. Margaret Is always shown In art
with a cross In her hand, either rising
from a dragon or with a dragon to her
side.

Court No. L', Philadelphia, handed
down a decree yesterday dissolving
the 1 laii.oto Railway Company and ap-pointing
Thomas U. Taylor auditor to
receive proofs of claims and report the

and the road has not been con-structed.
At a meeting of stockholders on Juno
