The naval parade at the forthcom-

the occasion. All the available ships

of course, the new cruisers Boston,

Baltimore and New York he was heard and APP
plnuded by the best and most cultured people
and highly complimented by the Press. One
paper says:
"He was much applauded for the quaint and
yet natural and entertaining way in which he
told his short stories. He was very success
ful, both in diction and delivery, in showing
the peculiarities of style and the original man
ner which the Old-time Southern colored narrn-
Tor held his listeners
The Baltimore Sam said
Capt. Carter gave poetic and prose selec-
lions, including war sketches and sentimental
tales, but the majority were pathetic and hui
morous yarns of the Virginia negro which
have won national reputation for the writer
HIS war stories were thrilling. His sentiment
tai productions were given with grace of elo-
cution that charmed his hearers. The negro
stories had rich vein of hurnor and provoked
frequent applause"
The Baltimore american said
Capt. Carter rccited in prose and verse Sc
lections of his own production-negro dialect
sketches, and stirring descriptions of the trials
and triumphs of the ''boys in gray" The gall
liant soldier of Carter's famous battery was well
qualified to chronicle them. He was intro
duced to the audience by Col. Richard NJ.
Johnston. Many of the audience called upon
Capt. and Mrs. Carter in tho green room, with
greetings and congratulations, SN earnestly
hoping that the new literary star may long
shine respondent in the Southern sky"

From the Stricken Conemaugh.

A census taken for local directory,
just before the fatal disaster of May
31st, showed a population of 27,326
in Johnstown and the neighboring
towns, which were devastated at the
same time. A carful enumeration of
the population of the same places by
the State Board of Health, June 15
to 25, showed population of IS SOP,
or loss of 1924. The Bureau of
Information, on August 1st, issued
statement that the loss of life, as
nearly as could be ascertained, was
Gill. This result was reached after
many weeks of very exacting labor
with the registration lists of surviv-
ors. There is one other way to
approximate the loss of life. There
were in the region devastated 35
physicians of these six, or one-sixth,
were lost. (Of these 80 physicians,
every one, with single exception,
was flooded out of his home.) In
Johnstown were 80 teachers of the
public schools, and seven were lost.
In the whole flooded region were 73
public school teachers, and twelve
were lost. From June 1st to July
23d there had been received at the
Johnstown post-office over 1000 let
ters. which were not called for. These
estimates show that about one-siXth
of the whole population was probably
lost, in round numbers, from 5000
to 5000 persons. Bodies are now
august 15th) being recovered at
the rate of two or three per day.
About>3, 900 bodies have been recov-
cred, and these have all received de-
cent burial. All, unless with very
few exceptions, were placed in cof-
fins and shrouded. For the first two
weeks, the bodies were all embalmed,
and as carefully prepared for burial
as is commonly done at home.
Not only was the loss of life ap-
Mailing. but the destruction of prop
erty was also very great. Franklin,
Woodvale and Miilville, populous
boroughs, were almost absolutely
wiped out of existence; and where
they once stood the river flows, as at

The British navy consists of 112
war vessels, standing far in the lead
of all the great powers. When all
the vessels necessary for the require
ments of the United States are built,
we shall have 21 armored vessels,
40 unarmored cruisers, rams, 5 tor
pedo gunboats and 20 torpedo boats,
and they will be built of steel. The
total is 121, which will place our na-
val armament on first class fooot-
ing, at least for defensive war. Few
people have any idea of the vast cost
of a modern ship. The London Nea0s
says that one hundred years ago the
expense of building the best ship of
the line was S338, ,O9O in our money.
In 1889 the Trafalgar, which the
Neaos regards as the best type of re-
cent vessels, cost the enormous sum
of S4, 1913, $40. In commenting upon
these striking contrasts the Neaos
says: "In the course of the century
we have quintupled the size and in
creased by about twelve times the ex-
pense of our men-of-war of the first
class. The next naval war, though
probably it will be briefer than the
wars of the past will also be much
bloodier, and more costly.

erty to date amount to over SO, ,O00,-

losses of the Pennsylvania Railroad

The noteworthy feature about the
great labor strike in London were it's
magnitude, its restraint, and it's sue
cess. 1t began with the dock-labor-
ers, but quickly spread to the sailors
and firemen, the iron-workers, the
coal men, the printers, the tin-platers,
and half-dozen other trades, until
about $50, 900 laborers were combined
together, and two hundred and fifty
steamers lay idle, and perishable
goods, like mutton for example
thousands of tons of it-rotted at the
wharves, and the whole shipping
business of the largest port in the
world was utterly paralyzed. The
trouble began with the demand of the
longshoremen for an advance of wa
ges from ten cents to twelve cents
per hour, their grievance being that
their work was precarious and irregu-
lar, not lasting more than two or three
hours a day. This demand the boss
stevedores, or dock mas ters, who hire
the laborers, and contract for hand
ling cargoes at so much per ton, re-
fused. The men, thereupon, quit
work. Public opinion favored the
strike. This was especially exhibited
by The sympathy shown during the
frequent parades. At this time of
writing the indications are that this
colossal rebellion of labor has attained
its end without collision. much of
the good behavior of the disaffected
thousands was due to the complete
ness of their organization, and their
submission TO their leaders. One of
the latter is a man named Burns, a
noted Socialist, and a member Of the
City Councils recently established
under the Local Government bill.
He was successful not only in re-
stralning the strikers from acts of
violence. but also in preventing the
importation of laborers from Holland
and other places.

When the "Alaska," in 1882, re-
luced the transatlantic trip to less
han seven days, it was thought that
he limit was reached, and that no
Bwifter time was possible; but the
'Oregon," the "Etruia,' the "Um-
|bria,' successfully cut down the
hours, until the ''City of Paris broke
bin previous records by making the
passage from Queenstown to New
ork in five days, twenty-three hours
hnd seven minutes and the wonder
lad scarcely ceased when this same
ocean greyhound" reduced her own
record by three hours and forty-fve
minutes, her time having been five
bays, nineteen hours and eighteen
'ninutes. The Inman Line holds the
balm, therefore; but when the White
ftar 'Teutonic" gets settled to her
.Fork, with her two sets of independ-
fnt machinery, one for each screw,
he palm may be disputed; and even
he "Augusta-Victoria," of the Ham
Purg-American line, may yet wear
~he honors. A limit, of course, will
be reached some time, but who can
fell when?

The condition of the worlds sup
ply of cereals is just now attracting a
good deal of attention, and the world
abroad is looking to America with
much anxiety to supply the antici-
pated deficit in Russia, Austro-Hun-
gary, India and Australia, Just now,
however, Dakota responds with de-
ficiency of 80, 900 bushels, so the tel
egraph informs us, though it is not
generally believed. California's
wheat-crop is estimated at 10000 bu-
shells, and there are States to hear
from. In this connection it is noted
that the attempt of the New Zealand
farmers to 'scorner' wheat ended dis
astriously with collapse in prices by
the arrival of generous cargoes from
California; factor which the specu-
lators had failed to take into consid-
Grafton. The final outcome will be
of interest to every householder, as
the price may be seriously attected by
extensive foreign shipments.
