ulator's paintings are just about as wen
able to pay so per cent duties as any Glass
that can be named. The balderdash
which has been written about the
necessity of admitting paintings for the in
struction of the people in art, is somewhat
damaged by collision with the fact that the
law permits paintings, brought in as gifts
to public institutions, to be admitted with
out the duty. Therefore, as the 30 per cent
will be paid entirely by tne wealthy class,
which imports paintings exclusively for its
private pleasures, the comparison of that
rate with the duty of hundred per cent
tax on sugar, which has to be paid by the
common people, is not likely to impress the
general mind with the hardships of the
lower rate.
The importation of works of art is a COM
mendabie use of wealth, but we can hardly
specify any class which is better able to pay
80 per cent duty than the one which buys
foreign paintings exclusively for its private
delectation.

A HEROIC SCHOOLMHAM.
The Life -Saying Success of Miss Love,
Johnstown Teacher.

The Life Saving Success of Miss Love, a
Johnsrown Teacher.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The disaster at our place has brought many
a noble heart to the front. Among the heroes
and heroines would place the name of one of
the Johnstown teachers, who, after getting to a
garrett and finding herself beyond the reach of
the water set to the work of saving Others and
succeeded in getting in lS or 20 souls, all Of
which are well. Not satisfied with this she
gave away every article of clothing she had on,
except dress, and, when rebuked for it, saiu:
II will keep myself warm by keeping con-
stantly in motion"
After getting out of her prison house, this
brave woman offered her services to the physi-
clans, and was stationed in the Bedford Street
Hospital, and stuck to her post until compelled
to leave from exhaustion. She belonged to no
class of nurses but her kind words and tender
touch will never be forgotten. When she babe
us good-by she said: II would not go now, but
there are so many here that know more than
I do" God bless herl She was there In the
toughest time.
Please publish this, for If any one deserves
special mention it is Miss Love, Johnstown
teacher. A HOSPITAL INMATE.

Fuller,a Tnla of Woe.

In the electric sugar trial to-day Lawson N.
Fuller began to tell how William E. Howard
and Professor Friend had induced him to in
vest $500 in electric sugar stock. Mr.. Fuller
got very near to Prof. Friends secret, he
thought, before he gave up his $500. The
Professor took him to the Brooklyn refinery
and showed him a big box called Jumbo"
and said to contain machinery which could
refine 20, 600 barrels of sugar daily. Once Mr..
Fuller and friend heard Prof. Friend refine
sugar behind curtain before which they stood.
After considerable fussing, he brought them
some clean, white sugar. They all went behind
the curtain then and found everything neat
and clean. Mr.. Fuller's friend asked where
the dirt from the unrefned sugar was Prof.
Friend got into such temper over this ques-
tion that no one dared to press it.

No BETTER evidence of the gratitude and
good will between the sections that have
aided each other in great calamities, is
needed than the noble efforts of Charleston,
s. c., and jacksonville, Fla, to repay the
charity shown them when they were afflicted
by disaster. Charleston has sent train to
Johnstown loaded with clothing and pro-
visions for the sufferers, and Jacksonville
has made liberal contribution in proper
ton to its size and wealth. Such acts are
as far above the attempts of some Southern
papers to make sectional points out of the
event at Johnstown,a as the heavens are above
the internal regions.

New Castle sniis Into Obnoxious Tracks in
Very Lively Style.
Special Telegram to The Dispatch.
New CASTLE, June l0-Some time ago the
City Council of New Castle instructedICity En-
gineer Miller to remove all railroad tracks
crossing South Jefferson street not authorized
by the Councils. The Western New York and
Philadelphia road has long occupied this
street and the City Engineer could discover no
ordinance that authorized it TO do SO. This
road had three tracks crossing this street be-
sides the main line track Of the road. Engi-
neer Miller, with Street Commissioner Norris,
the city police force and a gang Of 80 laborers,
proceeded to the point in dispute and
before the officials of the road
had time to raise any objection
tore up one track. This track is known as the
engine house track, and at the time there were
three engines and passenger train standing
on It at point few feet from where the city
officials were at work. This shut the W. N. Y.
& P. cars and engines from the main line. The
other two tracks were soon torn up. The Sec
ond track torn up is the one used by the Pitts
burg and Western Railroad to get to Its depot
in this city and this road was obliged to get the
mails and let of passengers half mile Fl ON its
depot all day. 1t was about 3 O'clock this aft
ernoon before the w. N. Y. d T; got its engines
off the siding and at work. Passenger traffic
was not inrerfered with, as the trains ran from
Oil City and backed up again.
Roadmaster Mcclure, of the Western New
York and Pennsylvania road, endeavored to
tear away the distractions placed on the
track by the officials, but was notified by the
Chief Of Police that he would be arrested, and
he desisted. When the City Engineer went to
tear up the tracks of the Pittsburg and Lake
Erie road George Tenner, manager OF Oliver
Brothers large furnace in this city, notified him
that he would hold the city responsible for the
loss should the furnace chill by reason of
The Engineer said he would give the Pittsburg
and Lake Erie time to prepare for the newt
able. The Pittsburg and Western is In bad
shape, as it has no track Of its own into the
Union depot and the one used by it is torn up,
with no prospect Of the damage being repaired.

A VERY unfounded fling at the manage

A VERY unfounded fling at the manage
ment of the Pittsburg relief work is made
by the Chicago Times, as follows: money,
clothing and provisions are flowing into
Pittsburg fast enough. They do not appear
to be flowing out of Pittsburg fast enough,
however. Perhaps the Pittsburg committee
has constructed another DAM" Everybody
who has paid any attention to the work of
the Pittsburg committee knows that it has
strained every power to forward all the re-
lief that comes into its hands at once to the
Johnstown sufferers. The dam which holds
back the relief has been constructed by an
altogether different agency.

Why They Were su.peuded.

Twelve girls between the ages of 16 and Is re-
turned to Brooklyn Grammar School, No. Is,
from luncheon last Friday with cigarettes be-
tween their lips. They threw away their stubs
and disappeared within the building They
didn't stay long, however. Principal Tuthin
sent them home with notices to their parents
that they were suspended for smoking cigar
cites. The girls explained that they smoked
because one Of them had ''stumped' the others
to do 1t. This explanation satisfied the par
ents. but not the principal, Tuthill. The
relatives of the girls made it so hot for him,
however, that he reinstated in school to-day
every one Of the guilty dozen.

paper, though, that Mayor Grant, Of New
York, has telegraphed Beaver to draw
on him for s5Q0OO and Beaver answers
to the Mayor, stating to leave the money where
it was, as they did not need it Just now. That
being the case, we have refused to collect any
contributions until such time as the Johns
town people may need it. But, judging from
the tone of Beavers answers TO kilograms,
Johnstown must be well supplied.

A Canary Found Alive in Its Cage Amid the
Ruins.

fFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June 10.-Sunday noon men,
Der of the Beaver Falls relief corps, at work in
the ruins of house on Main street, found a
bird cage containing live canary. The wires
of the cage were but little bent although it
was discovered under atleast five feet Of timber
and rubbish. When found the little creature
was lying on the back of the cage apparently
dead, but in few moments, greatly to the sur
prise of the rescuer, it came to.
A dish of water and some cracker crumbs were
hastily found, which the bird deyoured with
great relish, after which it hoped and chirped
around the cage. To all appearances it was no
worse for its experience. The seed and water
dishes were lboth empty when found, and 1t is
highly probable that the bird had neither food
nor water during its long Imprisonment. 1t is
now at the camp of the relief corps.

NOTWITHSTANDING the unanimity of
our Philadelphia cotemporaries that the
Legislature is not wanted at this time, it
seems pertinent to say that when the device
is resorted to of taking money out of the
State Treasury on the bond of private citi-

opinion that it would be better to call the
Legislature together and adopt the constitu-
tiona1 method of appropriating the neces-
sary funds.

thing like 10000 miles since April g. when they
left the Grand Central depot for Niagara Fans,
the first point Of interest on their route.
From this point they passed no interesting
place unnoticed In the United States, British
America or Alaska. By living in their train,
stopping but a short time at resting places and
visiting rapidly all the most delightful attrac-

starting it was arranged to include El Paso,
Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico in the list OF
places to be visited, but, owing to the extreme
warm weather, the route was changed, and, in
stead of going South, after having covered the
United States, they turn in opposite direction
and visited Alaska.

WARSAW, N. Y, June Holland agents
working in the interests of the proposed salt
union, called the North American Salt Com
pany, have commenced securing options on all
desirable salt land lying adjacent to the Erie,
New York Central, Rochester and Pirtsburg
and Delaware and Lackawanna Railroads, in
Genesee and Wyoming counties. They only
make offers on land which lies over salt reason
ably near the surface. No attempt is being
made to gain control over the territory where
weak or impure brine is found.
A good many leases have already been se-
cured. Some farmers are not decided as to
what is for their best interest, and ask for time
to consider the question. No one else stands
ready to take their property at the liberal
prices offered, SO they will undoubtedly fall in
with the rest. The new move causes some ex-
citement among outside owners of plants.
