A LIVELY PROTEST.
The JohnstOwu People Not Satisfied With
the Proposed DistrfbutIou,

the Proposed Distribution.
:sPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcHI
JoHNsTowN, October l5-Now that the
Board of Inquiry has completed its work and
preparations are being made to distribute the
relief money, the public learns little of the
manner In which lhe payments are proposed to
be made. 1t is the simple truth to state that
all the committees and those having the prepa-
ration of the list of losses in charge during the
whole summer refused to inform the public
what they were doing. 1t now transpires that
it is the purpose to pay the relief money on a
percentage of losses. If this is consummated
il is said that it will be an outrage upon Justice
too gross to be contemplated.
The money to the widows and orphans has
all been paid, and the total amount is less than
100000. This is not one-tenth of the total cash
10 be distributed, and yet the other nine
tenths goes to those less needy. And Of
these the wealthy get much the greater part
For instance, the poor man who lost from $500
to 500, all he had. only gets a percentage of
his losses on the same ratio as the wealthy resi-
0eut or business man VINO lost $50 600 and
probably has many times as much left and the
distribution is about to be made on this basis
There is much discord. and there threatens
to be an uprising Of the people, demanding
that the money be given to the more needy
classes. The Flood Commission is censured
but there is much criticism of the local boards
and committees. The whole affair is now
alleged to have been manipulated by men of
property interests here for their own personal
benefit, and it seems that they have been sue
cessful in their intentions.

RIVER MEN MAD.

Plenty qf Water Yesterday bnt the Dam
sDoils ALI.
The water register sent up yesterday
showed five feet below Davis Island dam.
That is sufficient for navigation, but no
navigation can be undertaken because of
the break in the wheels under the dam
lock. The gates of that lock do not swing,
as is the rule, but slide like folding doors,
and the axles of the wheels under them
being broken, the lock is closed. River
operators are somewhat sore over the condi-
tion of things. One of them said yester-
day:
while this sort of dam is new in this
country, it is old in France, where such
works have been inspected by our en-
gineers. There is small excuse for the use
of machinery which is continually getting
out of order"

Too Much for the Character Of Bou.
telie.
IN. Y. Tribune

One of the hanisomest men in the House
of Representatives is the Hon. Charles A.
Boutelle of Bangor, Me. He has, too, that
keen sense of humor which belongs to the
section of country from which he comes, and
appreciates a joke on himself as well as on
any one else. Some one was admirng his
hair not long ago, which is gray and thick
everywhere save on the top of his head
which bald spot is carefully concealed from
view by the skillful way in which his hair is
dressed. which prompted him to tell the
story of a noble impulse and what became OF
it. He went to the barber and told him to
cut his hair all over alike, that he was tired
of being fraud, and that he would sacrifice
the long locks which covered the bald spo,
and stand before the world rs he really was.
The hair was accordingly cut, and shortly
afterward he and his brothers, who we're Wis
iting in Bangor at the time, had . family
group taken, in which the bald spot stood
out in bold relief as witness to the truth Of
the honest member. But his virtue had Z
slap in the face and was content to retire
| when one of his constituents on seeing the
picture, said;
well, it's fine picture, and looks to me
Mr.. Boutslle, As though those sons of your.
might be mighty likely young fellows"
Not Even the character of Boutelle could
stand that. and so the bald spot is again con
cealed by the skilfully combed hair.
