THE Greek Pope in Hungary who
fourished dagger in the pulpit and cried
out for the determination of the Jews will
not by sensible Christians be considered
the friend of their religion. When Chris
tianity demands that the sword be taken
up against those who do not believe with
it. the time will have come for detestation
of Christianity. The Great Teacher never
armed His disciples or sought to influence
His followers to deeds of violence. The
Greek priest is of the rack-and- thumb-screw
order of Christians whose day we sup
posed had forever passed away.

A MEXICAN nihilist has assassinated
the Governor of a Mexican State. The
assassin, in common with his kind, appears
to have lost sight of the fact that blotting
out Governors and Presidents accomplishes
nothing, since others arise in their place.
The extreme socialists and nihilists but
embitter men against them by every act OF
violence to which they resort-they may
become so bold that their deeds will work
the withdrawal of liberation in their cases.
The whole line of history teaches that
such an outcome is possible. If the lead
ers of these nihilistic gangs, who go about
stabbing and bomb-throwing, have no bet
ter methods in reserve for the promulga-
tion of their doctrines and the advance
ment of what they term reform" they
trust to ropes of sand, and cut from beneath
them the very ground upon which society
now permits them to stand.

THE Pan-American Congress has com
pleted its tour of the country, and returned
to Washington to enter upon the serious
concerns which the delegates were APP
pointed to consider. There is every reason
to believe that the jaunting trip was
wise prelude. 1t brought the members
into social communion that will go far
toward harmonizing them in political,
business and economic views. They have
seen enough of the United States in their
5000 mile ride to fully appreciate the
strength of the nation, and the desirable
ity of close friendly relations with tin
short, the trip has well prepared them for
forwarding the greatest purpose of the
loftiest craftsmanship, the peace of the
two continents, by the removal of the
need for arming.

of no kind can be effected at arms length.
He is simply winning the unenviable title
of "the proclamation revolutionist.n II
he really is ambitious to be hero, let him
return to France, assail the Government

In no other way can he enter his name

Affairs i'm the Flooded Region.
Searching For the Dead and Re-
lieving the Living.

The situation of affairs in Johnstown a
week after the terrible food is summarized
In the following dispatch from the stricken
city: a summary of the situation shows that
the work of clearing away the ruins Is rapid
~ progressing under the direction OF an
organized committee, and considerable pro-
eress has been made. Seven thousand men
are at work with 800 teams. The debris is
being burned and while this was In progress
yesterday fire was started from Tying SPARKS.
Causing a loss of over $50, 900 on property
that had escaped the food.
Relief is being distributed under the aus
pices of the regular relief committee and the
Red Cross Society. Much care las to be e1-
ercised in this, as many undeServ1ng people
endeavor to secure the supplies needed for
sufferers One hundred carloads OF food are
arriving daily, but twice as much Is needed,
and especially clothing and shoes.

eering practices of thirty years ago Both
the original and reconstructed dams were
of earth only, with no heart wall, but
only riprapped on the slopes The
original dam. however, was made In
rammed and watered layers, which st1h show
distinctly in the wrecked dam; The new
end greatly added to its stability, but it
was to all appearance simply dumped iii
like an ordinary railroad I'LL or if ramIned,
shows no evidence OF good effect from
it. Much of the old part is standing
intact, while adjacent parts Of the new work
are wholly carried off. There was 20 CEN
trail wall of puddle or masonry either in the
new or the OLD dam. 1t has been the inva aria
BILE practice of engineers for thirty or forty
years to use one or the other in building high
dams of earth.
1t is doubtful if there is single other dam
or reservoir in any other part of the United
States of over fifty feet high which lacks this
central wall The reconstructed dam also
bears the mark of great ignorance or careless
ness in having been made nearly two feet
lower in the middle than at the ends 1t
should rather have crowned in the middle,
which would have concentrated the over
flow if it should occur at the ends instead of
in the centre.

HANGING MEN BY CONTRACT
A Company Organized TO Execute
Condemned Criminals.

Company, at Chicago, to execute persons
who are sentenced to death; capital stock,

M. E. Clear and Jacob A. E. 1fert.
The incorporators are small dealers in coal
at, Chicago. They claim to be acting in good
faith. None of the trio has had any experience
in the proposed business. Their idea is to en-
ploy competent executioners and open COM
munication with all the Sheriffs in the United
States, guaranteeing that there will be no
bungle such as characterized the Bald Knob
bers' execution. Shrouds, collins, etc, will
be furnished, and also any style of apparatus

any of the Mexican tribes that CTtez encoun-

the old abandoned cliff dwellings of Arizona

white men the people climb 30 their caves or
cliffs by the aid of notched sticks If the cliffs
are too steep. They can, however, ascend
vertical stone faces il there are the slightest
crevices for their fingers and toes.
The cliff dwellers are sun worshlppers
They expose their newborn children to the
full rays of the sun, and show in many other
WAYS their devotion to the great lumlnary-
They are usually tall, lean and well formed.
Their skin is of a black-red color, more like
tine Africans than the Indians.
Lieutenant Schwatka says that nothing
has heretofore been known about these PEG

cliff dwellers to number from 5000 to $4,000.

Brave Unselfshness of Two Children.

Frank Fraunheiser, during the food at
JohnstOwn, tried to save his wife, little son
and two daughters, by dragging them up to
the roof of his house. His wife and eldest
daughter were carried away, but he managed
to cling to the two small children until the
house was crushed. The children were buried
beneath the ruins, and the father worked for
hours to get them out When he reached the
children, the boy said:
Don't try to save me, papa. I'm fast here,
Get Katie out"
The little girls leg was broken, and she
cried out to her father that it was useless to
try to save her. and begged him to rescne
her brother. The father succeeded in drag
ging both children from the ruins, and when
he took the little girl in his arms, her face
was white with the pain of her broken limb.
AS she was carried into house she looked
up suddenly and said, with smile: Don't
look SO sad, papa, viii cheer you up"

Der of Deputies.
An exciting scene occurred in the Chamber
or Deputies at Paris when Ferry rose to speak
on the Education budget. The members of
the Right rose as one man, and shouted
and shrieked until they became hoarse.
Ferry remained standing in his place, coolly
waiting for opportunity to be heard, but
his enemies kept up the cry: ''The blood Of
the Tonquin dead choke you!" while insults
of the cOarsest nature were hurled at him
fast and thick.
When the angry deputies had quoted down
somewhat from sheer exhaustion, Paul de Cas-
sagnac, the famous duelist rose, and, with
contemptuous nod in the direction Of the ex-
Premier, said: Let us submit to this infic-
ton. Let us listen to this bour geois, this Ven

who was all the time shouting "Order
