The curse of heat is terrible In the

In the early evening you will see
whole families lying on the grass, the

When the weather is terribly hot the

As the night grows, silence settles
over the parks. The children are the
last to fall asleep. On the grass of
almost every great park thousands of
sleepers pass the night fitfully.
Lucky Is the family with fire es

Receipts of Grass Cattle Are Rapidly
Becoming More Ample and Prices Drop
Not much change has taken place
in connection with the cattle market
during the past week. Tidy, medium
weight bullocks are scarce and badly
wanted In all markets. The lighter
the animal Is, provided he has qual
ity and finish, the better he will sell.
The country seems to be over stocked
with heavy cattle, and prevailing
prices for this kind are anything but
satisfactory to the feeder. As pre
dicted In The Times, early In the
month, receipts of grass cattle are
rapidly becoming more ample and
prices are working lower. The dress
ing percentages of the grass cattle
coming to the Detroit market, are said
to be extremely low. and buyers are
determined to buy them more cheaply

ENGLAND TO PROVIDE
DIVORCES FOR THE POOR
LONDON, July 21. —Divorce for the
poor la thu object of a resolution in
troduced In the Houae of lxirda by
Lord Gorell, who, as Justice Barnes,
Mas president of the divorce court for
years. %
The resolution proposes to give a
limited jurisdiction to tho county
courts In divorce and matrimonial
cases. At present, divorce in Eng
land can only be obtained in the <ll
- after an extremely expen
sive Tegar process, so that at present
only the well-to-do can afforJ the lux
ury. The poor can obtain from the po
lice court judges separation orders,
tut It has recently been decided that
this separation order acts an a bar to
subsequent divorce proceedings.
While Lord Gorell'B resolution
touches (he point of equalizing the op
portunitie* for divorce among classes,
It does not touch the question of giv
ing women the same facilities aB men
for obtaining relief. At present a
woman can not obtain a divorce in
England unless in addition to infidel
ity the hut-band has been guiity of
cruelty, while the husband has only
to prove Infidelity on the part of hlu
wife to secure freedom.
The committee to whom the resolu
tion has been sent had added an
amendir.eni prohibiting the publica
tion of evidence In divorce cases.
In recen‘ years the English press
has been In the habit of printing ver
batim reports of the most ncusatlonnl
divorce cases and permitting uetails
to pass uncensored that would never

F. Randall, who drives one of (he pub

operation lu one of the Bostou hospi

He was in poor health for more than
r. year, and the trouble seemed to
baffle the skill of every physician to
whom he went, until at last he was
advited to go to Boston.
• The operation revealed the fact that
Mr. Randall had three kidneys, to one
of which was attached a large tumor.
The diseased kidney was removed, tho
operation was successful, aud the pa
