Is great deal of exaggeration in mud
that has been written and said about tx
pollution of water and air by the bodies q
the dead. Earth is great deodorizer
and when bodies are placed in it they
gradually decompose, and all septic and
poisonous matter are removed. The slow
process of combustion goes on in the
grave. The gases that escape are seized
upon by other forms of life. As an in
stance going to show that the gases from
the dead do not effect the living may be
mentioned the church Of the Capuchins at
Rome. The body of each monk when he
dies is placed in the earth below the church
until it has decayed. 1t is then exhumed
and placed against the walls Of the vault.
The survivors who live over this charmed
house have never been in the least affected
by the exhalati0ns from the decaying

Her mania has taken homicidai form,

that she hadn't lived in Johnstown many
months before the flood. Whether this
is correct or not of course no one knows.
tt is hoped this publication may have
the effect of bringing her case to the at
tention of friends wherever they may be.
The condition of Mrs. Foster, one Of
the JohnstOwn sufferers, who was taken

Destitution Mt New Florence.
The Press publishes special dispatch
from Johnstown as follows:
Two hundred people who have suffered
from the food in New Florence, Nine
yah, and Centerville, who are housed at
New Florence, are starving. They are
people who have been used to all the
pent up waters of Conemaugh lake de-
vastated their homes and carried away
members of their families. IN the dis
tribution of supplies New Florence has
been entirely overlooked. The good
peoplehof that town, who have been do-
ing all they can to make comfortable
the survivors who have sought their
homes for refuge from the floods, are at
loss to know why the place was
slighted, whether by accident or design.
Starvation Imminent.
The bakers have made the last pound
of flour into bread, and when that is
eaten there will be nothing for the poor
people to do but starve unless their
wants are Immediately relieved. The
merchants Of the place have sold and
given everything they had in stock
away. They have stocks Of staple
goods ordered, but cannot get them
hauled over the railroads. A citizen of
New Florence, in speaking of this mat
ter, said to Press correspondents: 1--WE
must have something to cat down there;
coffee, bread and meat are all gone.
Little children are crying for more food
and the unhappy parents often go with
out food in order to feed the little ones.
We have made application for supplies,
but have not got any yet. Something
must be done soon or some of us will
die of hunger"

JoHNsTowN, Pa. June 1.-THE exact
situation Of Johnstown is just this: There
are missing and dead about 10, 000people.
The refugees are living in tents and
crowded into houses of friends on the
hills. Debris is piled high all over Johns
town proper. with the exception Of
wide swath along the Conemaugh, swept
clean Of houses, but which is four or five
feet deep with sand.
The debris holds de caying vegetables
and animal matter and the acres Of
debris remain above the bridge sending
forth az all times the strong and almost
overpowering odor of decay. Many of
the houses OF Kernville and Horners-
vile, which ESCAPED total wreckage are
breeding places for disease, the cellars
nre full OF mud and decay, and among
them sickness is gradually increasing.
The sanitary conditions are almost be-
yond description, and with the hot sum
liner Just beginning it will be a marvel
indeed IL contagion does not run riot.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa, June 11.--At q
meeting of citizens resolution was
adopted requesting that the following be
given to the press:
ITO the people of the United States:
This city has been devastated by the re-
cent great flood and immediate assist
ance is needed. Our streets, alleys and
homes are in a frightful condition, and
money is needed at once to save US from
an epidemic. We are receiving a gem
erous supply Of provisions, but Lock
Haven alone Is not the only place to be
supplied from these. Many people in
the nearby small towns have lost
nearly everything they had and are
dependent upon us for money and
provisions. Ne need disinfectants badly
and money with which to hire teams
and men from distance to help clean
our streets and cellars. There was not
a square inch of land within the coapor-
ate limits of the city proper that was
not submerged, and when the water sub
sided it left a layer of mud and filth,
which, under the strong sun, creates
a stencil that Is almost unbear-
able. The contents of vaults and cess
pools are in our cellars and on our main
thoroughfares, and nothing viii save us
from a frightful epidemic unless help
comes promptly and generously.

Please ship az once three hospital tents.

Mr.. Soloman received a letter from
Miss Barton in which she says under
date Of June q: The Philadelphia Red
Cross followed us in two hours. They
have splendid corps Of physicians and
helpers and together we are establishing
our headquarters and hospitals. The
accounts which you read are probably
not overrated-indeed, could not well be.
Destruction and death are everywhere.
The piles of rubbish are full of human
bodies Yesterday some were taken out
still alive. Supplies are arriving in
goodly quantities and being distributed
by the various committees IN such man.
ner as you would expect Ii has rained
necessarily until today. Water and mud
and broken buildings and dead animals
are everywhere.
At work systematically.
Under date of June Miss Barton
wrote: We are fairly at systematic
work. Ran our cars into the stationary
track and pitched our tents today. A
fine camp and splendid work. We have
put up two isolated hospital tents today
for disease that might prove contagious.
We have force of nearly fifty and IL il
difficult 20 find one with a moment of
leisure. All the various committees and
the military authorities are in perfect
accord with US and tender every facility
and aid. The way is now getting open
for mail and telegrans. As the message
comes in | am almost showed under.
The restitution here is absolute: there
is no half way
There is pretty good supply of cloth
ing, but it melts away rapidly. We
have less Of bedding. and it win be-
needed especially as the families try
once more to do for themselves. Groceries
and provisions are most welcome, and
household articles are all gone and the
people seem too dazed to realize their
loss either Of property or friends. They
will wake up to this later.
