I THE OMAHA DALLY BEE: TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1002. ANOTHER RECORD FOR HEAT Su'trj Sunday Scorches Omaham with Unexpected Tomditv. MAXIMUM OF NINETY-THREE IS REACHED nno of April's Meteoroloaleal Praaka ticiwktlna the City With m Breath Like that of the Baby. Ionian Furnace. . ,. ' Maximum, 93 above! Bummerr The real" thing! Not long, drawn-out, but sincere and genuine whlla Jt lasted. That ia tbe history of yesterday. Omaha Seemed engulfed In a hot wave from tbe tropica that came with mischievous abruptness and caught folks only half pre pared. At 7 a. m. the government thermometer registered 54 above and tbe Man laid "I'mph!" At 12 o'clock It registered Tl above and Man said "Phewl" At 4:41 o'clock It registered 63 above and Man said well, never mind what be said. It will be lumdeot to know that It waa something about heat. At 9 o'clock it had fallen again to 83 and the Man began to breaths easier. During the night the temperature fell appreciably, though a strong wind con tlnued to blow. ReeofA tor Several Yeara. Omaha had an experience somewhat simi lar to this a year ago. In 1941 the maximum for April IT was 42 above at I p. m., for -April 18 v was 7 at 5 p. m.. for April It tt waa 64 at 2 p. m. and for April 20, which was a year ago yesterday. It was 61 at 4 p. m. Tbe Welsh table of temperaturea, taken at even hours, for tbla particular day this year and In years past, reads: 1902. 1901. 19W. 1809. 18. Maximum temp'r'tur 92 63 72 M 59 Minimum temperature 55 87 61 87 Tt Mean temperature.... 74 60 tt 46 49 From this It will ba noted that the April 20 of 1902 Is 20 degrees warmer than the next warmest April 20 In five years. An other circumstance that . made humanity feel the condition with extraordinary acute ness yesterday was the fact that there have been no previous very warm day this year to prepare too unbrowned cuticles for such an ordeal. - Tbe previous high mark for 1902 waa 71, . registered at 6 o'clock last Thursday. Tbe month opened, with the moderate maximum of 48 and lingered In the forties and fifties for the first two weeks. ' For last week the maximums were: Sunday, 66; Monday, 69; Tuesday, 64 1 Wednesday, 58; Thursday, 71; Friday, 45 1 Saturday, 67. What the Day Branch Ont. The effect of the blast In Omaha waa to make summer acenea crowd closely those of last winter. ' Shady nooks became populous) parka became popular and soda fountalna became the Meccas of thirsty thousands. Milady had but her openwork waist; tbe bead of the. house had out hla openwork hose and the hired man had out his open work "growler," cut wide at the neck ami very deep down the front and back. The chap whose salary Isn't nearly as large aa hla honest hands nor Ingenuity as great aa his feet plodded about In the In evitable, heavy Mask sutt, while the pers ' plratloa trickled from, hla crown to bis soles and made him feel like courtplaater. The other chap whose salary la larger than either his hands, hla feet or possibly bis head, waa alao rtght oat In plain sight to get all that waa coming to him on the strength of a new rig-up, which In color ' matched the seasoning on custard pis, but which In appearance matched nothing else on the Lord's green earth. Very few knew Just how hot the day was ? aad of the other only about one man In 1 each ten was brave enough to confess la , seriousness tbe figure be had In mind. SECOND OF CYCLE CONCERTS Mr. Kellr Give am Evtalag to Bag llsh Composer with -Great flneeea.

COLE AGENCY, John Btslner, each of whom had legal right to prefix the title of knighthood to his name, the honor being won by deeds of valor In the fields of art. Then came the untitled knights, such as Frederick Cowen, John Varley Roberta, Rev. John Bacchus Dykes, Alfred R Oaul and H. Lane Wilton. The choral works presented were sung by a choir which show constant Intimacy with a rehesrssl room. While the climaxes were never lacking la power and force, the lanieslmoa wsre of subtle delicacy. Miss May Caldwell, soprano, sang with much refine ment of tone and sincerity of expression. er voice being well adjusted to alt re quirements. Mr. Martba Miller Kelly, con tralto, sang with sympathetic ton quality touching ballad entitled, "Voices of the Angles." One of tbe principal gema of the evening wa the duet, "Love Divine," sung by Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly, soprano, and Mr. Mc creary, tenor. Mr. McCreary also aang with finish the solo, "Seek Te the Lord," to which the choir furnished a most deli cate obllgato. Next Sunday evening French composers will hsvs sway. 'Amusements. At the Orphenm. It is not often that an Omaha audience ahouta bravoa after the performers as they make their exlta from the atage, but thla occurred at the Orpbeum Sunday afternoon at the fialsb of the act of the Lee Trouba dour Toulouslan quartet ot vocalists, who occupy ths headline position on this week's vaudeville program. It la not often either that the occupants of gallery aeats on Sun day night will allow vocalists singing clas sical selections la foreign tongue to go en tirely through their act without aa oc casional Interruption la the way of a hiss or jeer. Not only did the gallery refrala from such misdeed during tha progress of this remarkable quartet's act, but it was more hearty In its approbation of the sing ing than tbe usually more dignified cohorts below stairs. After one hears tbe vocal work of these French people tbe behavior of yesterday' audience will b fully under took, tor thslr performance ia certainly far and away ahead of anything of tbe kind that has been heard upon tbe Orpheum atage. Tbe organisation Includes Madams Balsa, a soprano with a voice of rare power, purity of tone and cultivation; Mon sieur Bslza, tenor; Mile. Jeanne, contralto, and Mont. Louyrette, basso. Their reper toire of selections Includes aa operatic ar rangement of 8trauss "Blue Danube," the finale of ' Faust and "The Angelus, a piece arranged specially for them. The Har mony Four, a quartet of aloglng comedlana. were quite aa favorably received as the French people. Their act Is decidedly pleaatng and embodies some really good comedy that la clean and wboleaome, and some well rendered vocal and Instrumental selections. Like the Troubadours they are representative In their line of work. Lew Bloom, the tramp comedian, with a aew lot ot etorlea, joke aad parodies, road the audience laugh heartily for a quarter of an hour. Dooley and Fowler, black face come dlaae; Loney Haakall, dialect comedian; tbe Brother Gloss, gladiatorial gym oasts; th three Dancing Dassons and the kin- drome, with some new motion plcturea, In cluding a Spanish bull fight and some aceost at th Tranamlsalsalppl Exposltlaa, mad up th balance of aa enjoyable pro gram. Mia i'a Troeaaer. Th City Club Burleequers, with th Madi son Square cycl whirl aa a continued at traction, drew two large audience to Maa- ager Rosenthal' playhouse yesterday. Th cycl whirl, with two rider seemingly de fying the law of gravitation, continues to put ths people la front la an uproar of ex eitement and admiration. The show opens with a novel production called The Convtcta," and cloaea with a burlesque oatltled. "Are You aa Eagle." Both pieces are put en with elaboration aa to costume aad aeenie display, and la tbea a score of pretty and vtvactou girl disport themselves la song and dance. In the olio first honor go to Jeannett Held, who gives several good seags with th piquancy that brought worldly fame to Anna of the aame name. The Beasley duo and Allen aad Frank alao make good. PROBABLY AMES AVENUE PARK Tanas; Men'e Christian Assoelatloa Net Likely to Chans; Ath letic Field. Th queatlon as to whether tbe Amea Avenue park will be leaaed tor this season by the Young Men's Christian association will be settled by th board of director tomorrow. Secretary Willis said Sunday "Th indications are that we will not change our athletic park, though as a mat. tar of fact w hav In mind several other traeta which seder certain conditions might hav beea selected. One of them Is the eaat tract of th old Kouatse park, near Nine teentb and Spencer streets. This, next to th Ames Avenue park, seem to be moat la favor, but it would require a lot ot pre llmmary work to fit K up. To begin with w would have te get the consent of th property owner la that locality to us th tract aa aa athletic park and then would come the erection ot a grandatand, bleach era. suitable dreaaing rooms, a fence and aumerou other accessor!. On th whole I tblak th tendency I to favor th Am Aveau park. It' quit a way out, but otbrwiaa It meets the rsqulremeat per. fectly." WILL SAVE THE GAME FISH Or.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA James Erion Returns to Contrast North and South. ALEXANDRIA, IA., SEEMS QUEER TOWN t ot So Streanons aa gonth Omaha, hat It Doean't Have to Be, Sa He Bays Maglo City Gossip. Jamea B. Erlon, for year one of the prominent residents of South Omaha, and the publisher and editor of a aumber of ocal papers. Is St home for a thirty-day tay. He la cow located at Alexandria, La.. where he la superintendent of th National cemetery. In speaking of th south to a Bse re porter yesterday afternoon Mk Erlon said: 'There are aome atrlking contraata be tween the middle west and tbe gulf coun try, not only In climate, but In buslnsss and aoclal affairs. Leaving central Louis iana a week ago, with trees In full leaf. green grass and flower on every hand and the shade more welcome than tbe aun- hlne, I landed here forty-eight hours later, to find bare tree and chilling winds. "In point of personal comfort the sunny southland holds over this latitute two to one. To merely exist where at least one third of the 365 daya In the year are ot that perfect temperature that make a man glad he I alive, merely for th pleas. ur of living, la better tbaa all the con. venlencea and luxurlea resulting from the atrenuoua efforts so evident In this more rugged climate. The same restless energy put forth In the south would make tt blos som aa the rose, but It will never be ex. erted by the native population. Northern energy and capital, however, will la time transform the gulf atatea and make them the richest, most productive portion of our country. At present It U no exaggeration to aay that nature haa dona mora and man less for that country than any I ever saw. The fact that man can exist In Louisiana without work, la on ot tbe reasons why ths country la ao little developed. Ease and comfort Is the desideratum rather than advancement by personal effort 'In business method they are con. servatlve and cautious, clinging to old notions and antiquated appliances, rather than put forth the effort or take the risk ot making a change. In many respects they are at leaat half a century behind tbe times. "Alexandria Is a growing city of t.000 population, but It never had a foot of sewer or ot paved atreets until last summer. Now It has one paved atreet, but as It Is not kept clean a atranger would take It for a dirt road and the merchant are kicking themselves for allowing It to be paved When It ralna the atreet Is covered with slush and when the sun shtnea the dust Is something frightful. 'Some of the methods of doing business seems very peculiar to a northern man. For Instance, the meat market are built like northern corn-cribs, ont of alata and are open for business only a few hours a the morning, closing about o'clock. Some of the larger a tore In Alexandria run delivery wagona, but th smaller con. eerna make th delivery of good a mat. ter of accommodation. That ia, they will agree te send It around If they can catch a wagon going that way, or can pick up a nigger" to run tbe errand. Nearly all ktnda of mercantile bualness 1 doc on th ao-aa-you-olease plan. "Socially, th better claa of Loukslanian are the moat genial, generoua and hoaplt. able people I ever met. There ia nothing thev will not do to accommodate a friend Their mode of living and their manner of speech In different from ours, but Ufa among them a sufficient length of time to get accustomed to their ways. Is aurs to result In a desire to become one of them for life." Killed on Railroad Track. At 6 o'clock this morning th dead body of Edward Woods wa found en the Mis souri Pacific track about a half mil west of Fort Crook. The body wa terribly mangled, having been run over by a train.

GUARDS FIRE ON RIOTERS IN L0UVAIN Attacked by Mob la Streets aad Rid. die Crowd with Ballet, Resulting- In Death nnd Injury te Maay, BRUSSELS. April 21. At a general coun ctl of the labor party held here today It was resolved that Work by the strikers In all sections should be resumed. The coun cil issued a manifesto to the worktngmen to this effect this evening. Th anticipated announcement by the crown ot the dissolu tion of Parliament haa not been made. The papers here contain vivid descrip tions of tbe riots which occurred at Lou vsln. near here, last Friday. Tbe mob, which waa returning from the station after meeting the socialist deputlea from BrusepTs, divided Into two ban da, one making for the residence of th prealdent of the yChamber, M. Schoellaert, and the other for that of the minister of the Inte rior, M De Troox. The first mentioned mob was led by a man' of gigantic stature, flourishing a butcher knife. After breaking through ths ranks of one squad of the civic guard ths mob found Its way blocked In a narrow lans by another squad of the same organisation. An officer of the guard ran forward and called upon the mob to halt, shouting that otherwise he would order his men to fire a volley upon them. The rioters disrs- garded thla order. The officer was about to give the command to fire when the gigantic leader of the rioters leaped forward and eelsed the officer's throat with hla hand. He pinned him against a wall and leveled a pistol at his head. Another officer yelled the order to fire and ' plunged a bayonet Into the giant' breaat. The foremost of the rioters grasped th bayonet of the guards' leveled rifles in their bare hands. The volley was fired and In the narrow lane the mob was riddled with bullets. Several were killed. The re mainder of the rioters broke and fled. In the meantime the other band of rioters had a similar but less tragic experience. In a collision between the rioter and the guards a drummer of the latter broke from the ranks and Joined the mob, shouting to them to have no fear as tbe guarda were only supplied with blank cartridges. Yell ing the mob rushed on. It was met by a volley from the guards. Two of the rioters were killed and many were wounded. Today the dead are lying In the Malson des Proletaries, which haa beea converted Into a raorutary chapel by drapings, can dles and crucifixes. Crowds ot workmen filed through the building during the day. TO SUBMIT BRITISH TERMS Boer Leaders Will Ascertain Burg her's Sentiment on Pence Proposals. BALMORAL, Cape Colony, April 21.

They have arranged to meet the burghers at different rendexvouses and submit the British terms. It 1 believed the Transvaalers will every where accept the terms, aa they are in no way aaxlous for a winter campaign. The only difficulty likely to occur will. It Is thought, be with the Orange Free Staters, many of whom ate expected to, prove recal citrant. In the meantime there will be no cessation of hostilities. The delegate are expected back In Pre toria the middle of May and In anticipation of their return they have given orders her for new clothes, provisions, etc. LONDON, April 21.

Police Judge Berka feel that things are coming his way and bis smile has length ened accordingly. County Attorney Shields has finally admitted that he had no very sound reason for declining to recognize Berks and has promised to take bis cases through the police court hereafter. Instead of through tbe less convenient and expedl tlous course ot justice shop preliminaries. This waa on pleasant bit of news for Berka. Another Is th promts of County Commtssloaer Harte that th county will relieve the polic court of certain conBrme vagrants hereafter and care for the same In the almshouse. These latter Individuals have been a source of considerable worry to the magis trate for soma time. He says that the ap plication of the vagrancy law to them seems a farce, as they are physically unable to do a day's work or even a half-day'a and to confine them in the Jail serve only to as sure them of st lesst something to eat and without any foraglag on their part. The Judge says he has about a half-dozen of these on bis staff of police court "regulars' and so long aa they are practically a charge on the county anyhow be thinks the com missioners may as well put them where other needy are cared for.
