The Lost at Johnstown.

The latest attempt to register the
survivors of the food at Johnstown has
resulted in failure. The difference be-
tween tho total number of those who
report themselves to be survivors, and
the number Of people Johnstown is
supposed to have had before she was
cngulfed by the destroying wave, Is
only LOCO; and the list of dead from
the various morgues aggregate $500.
There is now no hope that the number
who lost their lives through the burst
ing of the South Fork dam will ever be
determined with any degree OF accu-
racy.
1t is not probable that another at
tempt will be made to register the sur
vivors. No one knows exactly how
many people Johnstown had before the
food, and what is a more discouraging
fact, there are people who in the pres
enee OF relief supplies and with the
prospect OF division of relief funds
are only too willing to figure among
the survivors of once happy Johnstown.
This is one of the weaknesses OF human
nature. and people in the Conemaugh
region are no better than the average.
A count of the dead handled at the
morgues. and the findings OF searchers
for bodies in the river below Johns
town, will form the only reliable death
record. And there are undoubtedly
many bodies now slowly wasting away
in the water, held down by sand or by
rocks or snags

The Diplomatic Language.

The Samoan conference. whether 1t
satisfactorily adjusted the points in dis
pute or not, beyond question won a
great victory for the English language.
For more than 200 years French has
been the language OF diplomacy. All
states have conceded that the delicate
stipulations OF treaties on which the
peace of nations must depend can be
expressed adequately only in the Latin
exactness OF French. The Samoan
treaty, on the contrary, is written in
English ard the proceedings OF the
conference were conducted in our own
tongue. Bismarck, always eager to
strike at any point what is left of
French supremacy, readily yielded to
the desire of the majority of the con-
ference that their native language
should be used ana the diplomatists en-

Prof. Hyrtl.

At the university of Vienna five
busts of celebrated professors were
recently unveiled. One of them
represents Prof. Hyrtl, the celebrated
anatomist, who has contributed so
much to rendering the Vienna school
of medicine famous. Though bent by
eighty-seven winters, he attended the
ceremony. The numerous students
present broke into enthusiastic cheers
at the sight OF him and Embarrassing
his horses drew his carriage over the
Ringstrasse. The professor thanked
them in clear voice in Latin, and
encouraged every student present to
give his heart and soul, and even his
life, to the noble science. 1t was only
the fear of hurting the weak old man
that prevented the students from car
rying him down the great marble
staircase on their shoulders.

AHERoINE OF THE OCEAN.

She Conquered Mutiny on Ship
boad and Saved Her Husband.
On the river Byram, a little stream
which divides the states of Connecti-
cut and New York, in the village Of
Port Chester, Ia pretty cottage, re-
sides d little woman OF inassuthing
manners, whose deed of heroism, says
the New York Press. will live as long
as stories of the sea are read and deeds
OF prowess cited for the emulation of
others.
Jan. 5, a little after midnight. and
ON the ocean near ST. Helena, was the
good American ship Frank N. Thayor.
commanded by Capt, Robert II: Clark.
Soon after the midnight watch was
changed the captain was reused from
sound sleep by hearing his name
called in tone OF alarm.
Fearing that all was not well with
his ship he hurried UP the eoni-
panion-way iii his hight=clothes. As
his head appeared above the COM
panion-way he received number of
stabs in the face, neck, and head, but
he managed to see that his assailants
were two Manila Indians, members of
his crew.
He fell To the floor beneath. where
the Indians followed him and plunged
their knives into his side, leaving him
for dead. The carpenter, the lookout
man, and mate were killed. The
balance OF the crew were locked in or
terrified, and the captain, his wife, and
daughter were left to the mercy OF the
Infatuated Manila Indians.
The captain, faint from the loss oil
blood, was assisted TO the cabin by his
wifo. One of the lungs of the officer
was protruding. The brave woman.
with nerve as firm as adamant and
with care as guarded as that OF the
skilled physician, forced the vital
parts back and sewed up the frightful
wound. She then bandaged his face
and head and set herself to the task
OF making their position safe by secur.
ing the windows to the cabin, arming
herself, AMI placing the wounded cap
tain In a position to defend Or assist in
the defense OF the cabin.
The precaution. was taken just in
time, for, firing OF the virgil they had
kept about the captains cabin, they
determined to finish him. But he and
the intrepid womln at his sides re-
pelled the mutineers, who had brok
open the cabin window.
What words can describe the cour-
age of this wife, who stood with firm
hand by her husbands side, ready to
do or die. hearing meanwhile the tread
OF the Indians thirsting for his blood.
The skulking crew, by the courage OF
the wife and captain, were at last
urged to action. One of the Indians
jumped overheard. The other sought
refuge in the hold, and when dislodged
1t was found that he had set the ship
on fire. He jumped overheard and was
lost.
Then came renewed heroism on the
part of the wife. Tcnderly the loved
captain was placed in a boat, and after
long and tedious sail of 700 miles
they reached the island of st. Halena,
having been nine days adrift In boat
insufficiently provisioned. with a man
almost cut to pieces. But the brave
woman was the master spirit of the
shipwrecked. and to-day she is pointed
out as the brave wife of the equally
brave Capt. Robert X. Clark.

Thew Will not Stay Extinct.

The school books used to tell us that
the Care Dwellers were extinct, but
now they have found a settlement OF
Cave Dwellers in New Mexico, alive
and active, who never imagined they
had been relegated by the learned
scholars of the world to the dim and
remote antiquity Of prehistoric time.
Here we have been living in the
same country with them as contempt
rary fellow-citizens, and imagining
all the time that there had not been q
soul of them alive since the time OF
Noah.
We have always supposed that mas.
todons were extinct; but now they have
found them alive and hearty in the in-
terror of Alaska, and it is supposed, il
we penetrate farther, we may find
them as thick as cows and horses in
America.
Some scientists are already begin
ming to question II any order of life
that ever inhabited the planet is abso-
lutely extinct, and await the further
exploration OF Africa to bring to light

the phoenix, the ceutaur and the ten
lost tribes OF Israel. Blade,

countered no delicate sh 1des OF mean

in Auglo-Saxon. That this case may
serve as precedent for the future is
not Improbable. To-day English Is

Ing nations are the Most eager travel
ers and the most persistent colonists..
They carry their supremacy and
their customs into more corners
OF the earth than any other
race, and cling to them moro tenacious
ls, forcing them often on hostile
peoples. English is the language moss
available for telegraphy ami Most
generally known all over the world. In
view of these facts it will not be strange
if the supremacy of French as the in
ternational language is doomed.
This supremacy dates from the as
tendency of Richelieu over European
politics, and it naturally began its
diplomatic negotiations between
France and her neighbors, thence ex-
tending gradually to those of all ma
lions. Previously Latin had been the
means OF international communication.
and that even the powar and the inter-
meddling pertinacity Of Richelieu found
the old custom difficult to dislo1ge is
proved by the fact TINT in 1856, four
teen years after the cardinals death.

affairs. Louis XIV. insisted upon it,
for in his despotic mind France was as
unquestionable the first OF nations MS
lie Grand Monarque" was the first Of
rulers. During his long reign all ma
tions adopted it for diplomatic inter-
course, and its supremacy has re-
NAMED undisputed until now.
The disappearance of French as the
language of courts and of diplomacy
would be another sign o. tho deep; fur
reaching changes which a century has
wrought in the worlds feelings.
French was the princely language; its
supremacy rested upon public respect
for the monarchical ideal, for the
niceties of behavior, the delicacies of
social intercourse which the old sys-
tenn encouraged. English is more re-
publican in spirit and it has been car
ried over the world by the march OF
commerce; its universally is another
indication OF the business spirit which
prevades the world to-day. Fortu-

poses, is also supreme in other dlrec-
tiors Not so exact as French; it is
