JoHSsTowS, Pa, June 3.-The full extent
Of the Johnstown flood and holocaust can
never be realized except by those who are
called upon to witness the horrible scenes,
which seem to multiply rather than dimin-
ish. Even conservative estimates to-day
put the number of dead from ten to twelve
thousand, while there is good reason to
suppose that it may reach fifteen thousand,
or even more In the Adams Street school
house alone over two thousand bodies have
been laid out. a body is on every desk.
The clothes on every cropse are rank with
filth and dirt and the dirty faces are spotted
with black, Shiny mud.
This morning the peculiar stencil of de-
caying human flesh is plainly perceptible to
the senses as one ascends the bank of Stony
Greek for balf mile along the shoulder
ing ruins of the wreck and the most skep-
tical now conceive the worst land realize that
hundreds, aye, perhaps thousands of bodies
lie eharred and blackened beneath the great
funeral pyTe.
L Searchers wander YEARLY over the smok-
ing mass and as occasionally sudden
shout comes over the waters the patient
watchers on the hi,l realize that another
ghastly discovery has been added to that
long list of revelations that chills every
heart and draws tears to the eyes of the
watchers. From the banks many charred
remains Of victims Of the flames and food
are plainly visible to the naked eye as the
receding waters reluctantly give up their
dead. Beneath almost every log or black
ened beam glistening skull or blanched
remnants Of ribs or limbs mark all that re-
mains Of llfe's hopes and dreams. The
streets are one sickening, foul-smelling mass
Of wood and debris, and the work of search
ing for bodies has only fairly begun. The
latest estimates put
THE LOSS OF LIFE AT FROM 10000 TO 12,O0O.
1t is impossible to get any account of the
number lost every one is so thoroughly tired
out and overcome by the weight of the dis
aster as to be utterly unable to give any ac-
curate details or figures The work of
identifying the dead goes on very slowly
and comparatively few so far have been
identified.
124 BODIES UNDER ONE BUILDING.
From under a. large brick school house one
hundred and twenty -four bodies were taken
last night and to-day, and in every corner
and place bodies are being found and buried
as fast as possible. The necessity for speedy
burial is becoming manifest, and the stencil
arising from the bodies is sickening. A

time perfect respectors OF their human
allies, and the little children used to
go among them and play with them by
pelting them over the back with their
toy whips; and yet the same dogs were
starving and should one of them die
his comrades would eat him. / notice
this particularly as some sensational
writer's have tried to make their readers
believe that the Eskimo dogs are liable
to become dangerous fellows even to
powerfully built man, when simply
hungry, and to be worse than wild
beasts when ravenous. 1t is true that
So wild are they for food after long de-
privation that their actions might be
taken by people with timorous natures
for intentions to devour person; but
any onslaught of Eskimo dogs is un-
known among the northern natives
where 1 travelled. 1t was pitiable in
the extreme to see their sufferings
as they so devotedly helped us
along, many of them up to the
very minute they had to be taken from
the harness and abandoned on the
road. Our Eskimo hunters made
heroic efforts at hunting, but the
Arctic day was SO short and reindeer
and musk-oxen so scarce that in order
to give the poor dogs any we often had
to reduce our own food-supply which
we cheerfully did.
As they dropped out along the way,
we harnessed ourselves in their places
to the sledge traces, and it was only
thus we we're not compelled to aban-
don important parts of our load.
About the middle of February, the
wolves began to trouble us, and al
though they killed four Of our nearly
famished dogs at the very doors OF our
snow-houses, we rather welcomed the
sight of them as we knew their pres
ence indicated our nearness to the
Misunderstanding grounds of the Hud'
son Bay Eskimo, and that we were
therefore nearly home, and might fall
in with natives we knew at any time
In fact, the latter part of February We
saw a Kinnepetoo Eskimo. and from
him got help to reach our old home
with our nineteen dogs, all that wa:
left of sixty. about two-thirds of thai
loss being purely from starvation

INCOMES OF RULERS.

What 1t Costs to support Some Of the
Continental Monarchs.
The late Emperor William is cred
tied with having saved $4,000, 900 out
of his public allowance.
Oscar IL, Of Sweden and Norway
rubs along comfortably on $575,525
that his subjects gracefully pay him.
Switzerland gets along pleasantly
with President who is satisfied with
the modest salary of 5000 year.
The Car of Russia is credited with
receiving $l2, $50. 900 and upward from
his domains; but upward is an unlim-
tied term.
The King of Prussia, Emperor of
Germany, is not badly fixed" The
kingdom of Prussia pays him 81, 2S5, 900,
and besides this he has great private
domains.
The sovereign of the dusky sons of
sunny Italy annually takes $3,070,OOO
out of the pockets of his impoverished
subjects for the sole behoof of himself
and kin.
Milan, King of Servia, has had a
pretty tough time in governing his
petty kingdom of less than two million.
He and his kin cost the little limited
monarchy $4,000.
The ruler of Bavaria is allowed only
81. 3O7. O4O year, and out of this sum
he has to pay for clothes and pro-
visions for his family and to keep
them in pocket money.
The Emperor Francis Joseph, oil
Austria, may be a wise and valuable
skipper to have on board the ship OF
State, but with $3,875,000 year he is
adequately recompensed.
The King of the Belgians has just
about as much as he can do to keep
himself supplied with pie and confec.
tionery on the 100000 year that his
grateful subjects turn over to him.

THE suANETIANs.

A Peculiar People Inhsbiting . Portion of
the Caucasus Country.
Each community is made up of sew
eral villages, originally consisting each
of members of the same family or gems,
but now including several families.
Members of the same family can not
intermarry. Women and pasturage
rights have been occasions of many
feuds and vendettas. When woman
changed hands or husbands, the parties
concerned could not always agree on
the value in cattle-the Suanetians
had no money-of the lady exchanged.
Hence arose assaults Of persons and
batteries OF towers. The affairs OF the
hamlet, so far as they were not settled
by appeals to arms, were regulated by
an assembly of adult males, in which
unanimity was required for valid de-
cision. The foreign relations Of the
Suanetiaus consisted, for the most part,
in predatory excursions into neighbor's
pastures. They were arrant sheep
stealers and cattle-lifters. Strangers
met with no hospitality. On the con-
trary it was the custom to exact pay
ment from them for passage, and the
custom still survives in petty demands
made for halting in a remote village
The Suanetians may fairly be de-
scribed as reverted pagans. Some
Christian rites-fasting in Lent, and
the use of the sign of tho cross-they
have doubtless preserved. But these
survivals seem to me no more to en-
title them to the name of Christian
than our own midsummer night fires
constitute us sun-worshipers. ID. w.

RusslA,s GREAT SECRET.
How Marshall Jewell Stole Their Method
Of Making Leather.

of Making Leather.
In one of the stores on Broadway
lately, / noticed some fine Russian
leather goods of various kinds, and was
tempted through curiosity to take a
closer look ut them.
why is ~" asked the proprietor,
'sthat these goods can not be manu-
featured in this country as we'll as In
Russia.
BLESS your heart" he said, ''these
goods are made right here in this
country, and neither Russia nor any
other place can make them any better.
You see, for long while Russia enc
joyed monopoly at this sort OF work
until Connecticut Yankee happened
on the scene and caught on, SO to
speak. to the secret of its manufacture.
This leather was manufactured in a
large factory situated in one of the
towns of northern Russia. The owners
possessed some secret about curing the
leather, which they jealousy guarded.
England and other countries sent
operatives to this factory to learn the
secret, but when a man once entered
the factory it was a life job with him.
He had to stay there.
s.Other men were sent there dis
guised, but so carefully was the place
watched that nothing could be learned
and finally all attempts at discovering
the secret were abandoned and the
Russians were allowed to continue
their monopoly undisturbed although
many limitations of it we're manufac-
tured.
"About this time the late Marshall
P. Jewell was Minister to Russia from
this country. Mr.. Jewell had been
brought up in the leather business and
was then the owner Of several tanner
les in Connecticut. Of course he had
heard of this now famous factory, and
more from curiosity than from any de-
sire to learn the secret of the business
he expressed a wish to inspect the
works.
THE Russian authorities never sus-
pected that Mr.. Jewell was interested
in the leather business himself, and in
his official capacity the factory owners,
who were aided by the Government
in maintaining their secret, felt rather
complimented that Mr.. Jewell should
have expressed such q desire, and nc
cordingly Mr.. Jewell. as it we're, was
given the freedom of the factory
s.For three days the United States
Minister remained in the Russian town
and visited the factory many times
He was quick to catch on and he did
catch on so much that on his return
to the United States he determined t.
put the knowledge he had thus
acquired to practical test.
1.-THE result was that Mr.. Jewell wa
soon manufacturing Russia leather OF
his own account. His first experiment
was a perfect success. and now, as a
consequence, this sort of leather, a
you will perceive. is manufactured In
this country equal in every respect t.
the best that Russia can turn out.

woman named Marie Bigot. who APP
peared in court wearing velvet mantle
richly trimmed with fur, was charged
with obtaining 13.000f, besides board
and lodging, from Paris hotel-keeper

Marie Bigot went to the hotel and en-
gagged rooms for herself and her most
intimate friend. whom she said was M.
Bozerian, Senator of Nice. The hotel
being situated in q part of Paris not
much frequented by persons of distinc-

the prospect of having q Senator to

keeper was one OF the most credulous
of men; he advanced Marie money
whenever she asked for it always be-

the account right when he came. But
months went by and still NJ. Bozerian

however, the satisfaction Of believing
that he was in regular correspondence
with him. The letters always being

and into this the boy slipped, taking
