The Work Yet to be Performed BY His
Senatorial Investigating Committee
Dawes Should Have Kept Away From
Railway Matters.
CHICAGO, June Ex-senator Cullom, who is
in this city, was asked by a reporter what the
Senatorial Committee on Railway Relations
with Canada is doing.
"Taking rest just now," he replied. 'rThe
committee has adjourned to meet again on July
In New York. When we. meet again sup
pose we will be in session the greater portion
Of the summer"
"What are the plans of the committee?'
"0f course, we can't do anything but collect
testimony to be afterward used In celebrating
recommendations to Congress, but the more of
it we get and the more complete it is the better
will be the results. After another short ses-
sion in New York the committee will meet in
Boston, then in Montreal and, probablyla later,
we will come West"
When asked why Senator Hoar's Committee
on Trade Relations with Canada we're examin-
ing railway men at their recent session in St
Paul, Senator Culloms face assumed puzzled
expression.
"Well, 1 don't quite understand that myself"
he said. What they have to do with the rail-
way matter, l don't know. The resolution
authorizing the formation of Senator Hoar's

WHEN INSANITY WILL COME.
DR.. Benjamin Lee, Executive of the stnte
Health Board, Talks.

Health Bonrd, Talks.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June 12-"It is wonderful how
the condition of the peoples health is keeping
up in this place" said DR.. Benjamin Lee, of the
State Board of Health, to-day. sit is a very
surprising fact to me- because expected an
epidemic of some kind would certainly have
broken out before this. All our reports, as they
come from the different districts, announce the
same thing, which is fairly good health. 1 am
afraid, however, of one thing, and that is in
sanity. While the unusually healthy condition
of this section of the community may prevent
the outbreak of any contagious physical dis
ease, do not think that the people will be able
to Withstand the mental strain much longer"
well, but don't you think that insanity
ought to have made its appearance already, if
it is to come at all?'
mo; there is no necessity for results so soon
as that. The people are still living in kind Of
fully the losses of home, friends and family ali
at once. 1t will take some time; but, when the
father has got home again, the mother pre-
sides onse more in that home, or is gone from
1t forever, and the parental love misses the
noisy laugh of the children, or the rambling
prattle of the babe, then the now sleeping mind
will awaken to the terrible reality that all is
lost, and the result in many cases will be
melancholia, or other phases of insanity.
There is at present no knowing where the
effects of this disaster will terminate or when
its gravest results shall have been overcome,
but think the insane asylum will yet be the
recipient of many.
"Dr. Wagner the representative of the State
Board OF Health at Kernville gave me his re-
port OF the town where he is in charge this
afternoon: From this paper 1 learned that
there are $500 people living in Kernville, and
they are lodged in about 800 houses. Out of
the whole number there are only so people sick
perhaps the average number found among
the healthiest communities of people. The
sickness, as far as 1t is definitely reported con-
sists chiefly Of colds, cramps, one case Of diph-
therla and some minor troubles"

TROUBLE In THE CAMP.

Attorney General Miller and the Indiana
Colored Politicians on the Outs.
Special Telegram to The Dispatch.
INDIANAPOLIS, June R-Attorney General
Miller and prominent representative colored
Republicans are having quite serious time.
The Attorney General arrived from Washing
ton few days ago, and the colored men have
been foiled at every point. He evidently wants
to get rid of them. They are dissatisfied with
the meagerness of the Federal patronage doled
out to their race. He made an appointment
with them to-day to hear their grievances. He
was not there, and the gentlemen left in some
thing of frame Of mind.
IF Mr.. Miller wants to see US now," said one
of them, the can find us at our places of bust
ness"
Mr.. Miller was detained by friends at his
home until IL o'clock When he reached his
Office the colored men had gone. He did not 90
to look for them, and tomorrow afternoon he
will start for Washington, probably without
bearing away their complaint. 1t Is the old
plea for more recognition and better services.
Yesterday the committee failed to meet Miller,
and to-days poor connections intensified their
feelings. One of them said:
There will be trouble if we don't get more
recognition" A colored Republican said the
committee represented nobody but itself, and
did not amount to bag Of beans"

The rather surprising statement is made
that medical and insurance statistics show
the average length of life in the United
States to be 55 years against 80 in England,
45H in France and only 2S in Russia. It
the statistics are correct it rather oversets
the accepted idea that the English style of
life is healthier than the American. But,
perhaps, the physical superiority of En-
gland does not extend throughout the whole
population. The, deduction appears plain
enough that the average American is better
fed, clothed and housed than the average of
other nations.

DEPUTY SHERIFF DICK, of Cambria
City, takes exception to the reports of the
sanitary corps, with the assertion that there
is both diphtheria and typhoid fever in
Cambria City. This is probably correct;
but the famous Deputy Sherif's statement
shows that those diseases were present at
that point before the food. The sanitary
corps opinion, therefore, that no epidemic
has yet arisen as result of the food NAV
also be correct. Still the facts warrant
active sanitary work and care in keeping
the streams pure.

Has the Lesson Been Satisfactorily Learned
by Dlsasters
~. A. xrat... or m fNozo..H.

To the Editor of The Dispatch;
In this mornings paper you have an article
on the South Fork dam, showing that at the
time the repairs were made there was no
engineer employed, and that the reconstruction
was wholly in charge of railroad contractor.
1t seems to me that this point is worth an edi-
torial. A young man, no matter how smart he
may be- is not an engineer as soon as he gets
his diploma any more than is doctor
doctor, or lawyer lawyer just as soon as his
diploma is signed.
Each needs that which Is obtained only by
putting into practice that he has studied. and
this takes time. 1t would be better for the
public If they could learn that it is cheaper to
employ engineers of experience, and who have
a reputation to lose, than one who has none. In
important law suits or surgical cases none but
eminent practitioners are engaged In law
suit, If the case is lost. 1t it usually money
loss. In surgical case 1t Is at most but one
life lost. In the case of engineering work, if a
failure occurs 1t is usually both floss of money
and life. and often it does not stop at hundreds
of dollars or one life.
In the case of the South Fork dam 1t is
probable if an engineer had been employed the
dam would not have been rebuilt, as the engineer
would have reported an expenditure OF sum
greatly in excess of what the club desired to
spend. Colonel Ruff's estimate of the cost was
81 500 to 81, 700. The final expense was nearer
$4,000 and the work was done in the same
manner as a railroad embankment, and has
been an expensive lesson.
But the question still remains, have we
learned the lesson? have thought for some
time that the American Society OF Civil Engi-
neers should take this subject up, and that no
graduate of an engineering school should be
allowed to use the title of civil engineer until
after five years practice he had passed a salts
factory examination before a committee of
engineers chosen by the society.

But you know, dear, whenever we-quarreb

And perhaps mas two thousand year;
One cannot afford to be silly.

O. A. opened rooms, in the late handsome resi-
dence Of Joseph Berlin, on Main street, and the
local general secretary, 8. L. Harter, has been
placed in charge. The main object of the house
is to establish reading and writing room for
strangers. Already a number of books have
been received to take the place of the former
well-stocked library owned by the association,
which was entirely lost. The daily papers can
be found on file and the callers to-day to read
THE DISPATCH were numerous. Those not
having place to do their correspondence are
invited to call at the rooms.
A feature of the Y. M. c. A. work is to search
for the needy poor. who are too proud to ask
for assistance. There are any number of these
people who were numbered among members of
the association and the latter is trying to alle-
viate their distress without leaving the people
under the impression that they are objects of
charity.
The Presbyterians have also established

people. They have secured a room on Main
