SUF FERING JOHNSTOwN.

Protests continue to be showered thick and fast from the people of the Conemaugh valley against the commis- sion having in charge the distribution of the Johnstown relief fund. The Scranton Free Press says that ever since the state authorities have taken charge of the fund conspicuous inability to handle the fund has been displayed. The gentlemen have an over stock of dignity and seem notoriously deficient in Ability to grasp the situation or to take counsel from those who are ac- quainted with the needs of the people.
 It is not over-stating the facts to say that it is the worst mismanaged affair of the kind in the history of this country. Generous people all over the nation, and beyond its confines, contributed literally to the aid of the stricken peo- pie until fund of unprecedented dimensions had been secured, and they expected that the money would be placed at once where it would do most good. But five months have passed, winter is coming on, the funds are needed by the people and yet the bulk of it still remains in the hands of the commission.

THE SULTAN'S FIDDuERS,
His Turkish Majesty Stands No Nonsense
 from His Musicians

from His Musicians.
 Most of the tales about Abd- -ul-H -Hamid are, indeed, trivial enough. They mainly illustrate his feeble-mindedness and ca price. Take the one of the court pianist One day his Imperial Majesty sat in his imperial palace cutting out silhouttes of black paper as a solace from the cares of state. All at once he called for soft music, and bade his court pianist play a polka The latter, thinking to please the sovereign more, sat down at the instrument and thumped out the " Imperial March, with all due energy and fervor. Not word es- capped the lips of the sovereign, and the pianist never gave the matter thought until that evening, when messenger from Yildiz informed him that the Sultan had no further need of his services In other words, he was cashiered-deprived of his appointment, his house and a salary of e6OO year. Alas wrong tune will suffice to ruin man in Turkey.
 Another time, during pantomime at the the court theater of Yildiz, Dussap Pasha played the 'Imperial March'' while a iib- bering jackass prayed and pranced about the stage. The Sultan was furious at hear ing his own sacred and particular march played as an accompaniment to the dancing of a common donkey, and he dismissed poor Dussap on the spot. The penitent Pasha was, however, afterwards restored to inn perial favor, as the whole affair proved to be nothing more than court intrigue to work his disgrace.
 With his musicians the Sultan has always been capricious. His pet violnist, Wondca, wished to leave tho court and go to Paris, to study there with the best of masters. A petition was accordingly presented to bis Imperial Majesty, who abrubtly tore it up flung the pleces at the messenger, and said: "Why should he study. Is it to earn moneya If he wants that, my treasury is open; let him help himself, an stop here. wish it.n So, willy-nilly, Wondra had to stay

TWAS A COINCIDENCE.

A Hay-Fork Agents Remarkable Dream
 and What Game of 1t.
 'I used to travel around the country with patent hay-fork,' said the man with Q green patch on his left eye to New York Sun man, as 1t came his turn to tell . story patent more than that no farmer ever got any benefit from it. What wish to bring out is what might be called a curious coin cidence, and one that have kicked myself over g hundred times.
 'It was in this way" he continued, as he got settled back on his seat. s'Farmers have their weak spots tho same as other folks. You can hit some of them by prais- ing their buildings, others by admiring their horses, others, again, through their hogs or calves. had way of hitting every time. When I got up m the morning, after staying all night with farmer, I got of something as follows:
 "I had very curious dream last night dreamed that was digging out behind your barn, just on . line with big knot hole in the sixth board from tho west end. and unearthed g tin box containing two thousand dollars in greenbacks. Thedream was so vivid that almost feel the box in my hands. There's nothing in dreams, of course, but never had one which seemed so real.'
 'sMind you, had taken notice of the knot hole the evening before. Sometimes 1 fixed the place behind barn, and some. times near stump, or so many paces from certain tree or straw stack; but 1t was all settled on beforehand. It wasn't one time in twenty that farmer would charge mo for my lodgings after giving him this dream. It hit lem plumb center, and they were only too anxious to get mo out of tho way, so they could begin diggius.n
 ''Go on," said several voices, as he made long pause.
 "Well, one morning, after lodging with. farmer all night and getting his note for fifty dollars for hay-fork, I related the usual dream in the usual way. This time 1t his barn. I saw that he was hard hit ct once, and he left me eating breakfast and went down to dig. was chuckling over his greenness when he came walking in with tin box under his arm"
 "You don't sayI"
 "But do, and it was box he had dua out 8 foot or 60 below the surface. It was broken open right then and there, and may 1be drowned for . yeiler dog fiji the contents didn't pan out s4.6 GAS in just as good green backs as you ever saw"
 "But-but-"
 ''There were no buts about 1t. He found the money and kept 1t, as was his right, and no one ever came to claim 1t. This @ bill was Q part of 1t. He gave 1t to me as . re- ward for my dream, and Pm keeping it as Q relic to show what fool g man can make of himself. That's all, gentlemen ex- cept that want some of you kick me as Soon as conyenientn

MIR GLADsTONE's GAINS.

Although Sir Robert Peel, the home
 rule candidate in the election recently held in the Brighton district, did not re- ceive majority vote, the success of the conservatives in that contest was hardly of character to greatly encourage the leaders of that party. It is evident that the trend of public sentiment in Great Britain is favoring Mir Gladstone and his cause. Five seats in parliament have been won by the opposition during the present year, and twelve since the gen. eral election of 1886. These successes in bye-elections have compelled the con- servatives to cast about for some ex- planation, and the one hit upon seems to be that the gains are not so great after all, for if the vote of 1885 is chosen for . the test, instead of 1886, it will be seen that the liberals are still considerably behind the popular strength they possessed before their party was split on the Irish question. It IS probable enough that the liberal unionists have not all gone back into their old party lines, but it is hardly necessary that such a complete change should take place in order to secure the success of the home rule movement, for, with the aid of the Irish members, MT Gladstone could afford to be in a minor ity, so far as the representatives who supported him coming from Scotch, English or Welsh constituencies were concerned.
 The young man who defeated Sir Robert Peel is a pretty small potato compared to his opponent. He is still under 30, and is said to have never written, said or done anything whatever. He is supposed to owe his advancement to two reasons. His grandfather, dealer in Russian tallow, left him about 8, ,OOO,O ,OOO, and his sister married a brother-in-law of Lord Salisbury's step- sister. His election means the addition of unit to the group of tory legislators who so down to the house after dinner. half drunk, and amuse their fine intel l ects by insulting and laughing at the Irish members opposite them.

IT is said that Jay Gould Russell Sage and their friends propose-to control the elevated roads in New York, and also the New York and New England and 2 New York and Northern roads, and to establish a through route to Boston. The sum of S20,OOO,OO0 is named as the capital of the syndicate. This plan has ,een talked about for two or three years ' THore. But it is not the easiest thing
 the world to accomplish. It would not be the best route from New York to Boston, could the speculators control the stock of the roads named. But it is un- derstood that when Jay Gould and his friends take hold of railroad route the plan is to be put through. It may o1 may not be true that they have taken hold of the New England and the elevat- ed roads,
