A WIFE FROM THE FLOOD.
Kansas Man applies for One-HuIburt
House Inquired For.

House Inquired For.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, July 6.-The number of
of letters received by the Bureau of Informa-
tion have fallen off considerably within the
past week, but an occasional ludicrous one
turns up. To-day long letter was received
from man in Kansas asking the bureau to
find wife among the food sufferers. The
writer stated that he was a farmer, and owned
two well-stocked farms in the vicinity of Par
sons. He is 35 years of age and wanted
a good looking young woman between the
age of 20 and 30 years. She must be edu-
Gated and know something about house
keeping. The officers of the department
have had many inquiries for relics, but this
is the first time, they say, that anybody mas
asked Tor living one. The man preferred
woman who had been rescued from the
food, and said he would marry her within
three months.
Another letter was received this week
from mining camp in Colorado, ask
ing for information in regard to
duIburt House. The writer stated
that he had read the name among the lost
in THE DISPATCH, and having a brother
bearing the same name, he wrote to inouire
if 1t was he. After diligent inquiry it was
ascertained by the officers of the bureau
that there had been no one of the name
here, and that the "Hulburt House." the
big hotel which had been swept away bv
the food; was what had misled the INQUIRER
A letter was received on Monday from a
woman in Hanover, Germany, asking for
information in regard to her husband, who
had left her but a few months before the
flood. The letter was written in German.
and one of the clerks had to reply in the
same language. 1t was found that the
woman's husband was alive, but had had a
very narrow escape in getting out of his
house,

MEASURES OF SAFETY.
What the Railroad Company Proposes to do
About the Federal street Crossing
Manager TnyIor Explains Some Sugges-
fi0ns.

What the Railroad Company Proposes to do
About the Federal street Crossing
Manager TayIor Explains Some sugges.
tions.
The letter which James W. Collins, ESQ.,,
wrote to John II. Hampton, making GER
tain suggestions for the Fort Wayne road
to adopt at the Federal street crossing was
submitted to General Manager McCrea. An
effort was made to see Mr. McCrea about it
yesterday, but he had gone home sick.
Previous to that he had expressed his will
lingness to be interviewed on the subject.
Mr.. Collins made these suggestions to se-
cure the public safety: To have the bells
rung on all the engines approaching the
crossing; to place an electric bell in such a
position to give notice of the approach of
trains from the East, and third, to erect a
suitable tower for watchman.
In the absence of Mr.. McCrea, Manager
Taloy, of the road, was seen concerning Mr..
Collins letter. He said: 81 cannot speak
for Mr.. McCrea, and do not know what he
will do, but do not approve of the tower
for the watchmen. At the Federal street
crossing very frequently the men have to pull
people out from under the gates, so eager
are the people to cross the tracks. If he
were located in a tower, this could not be
done, and ii anyone was killed the road
would be held responsible. The gates are
intended as warning to people, and if they
persist in trying to pass over when they are
down we can't help it. If we put up GER
tain barriers there to keep the people back,
then the city would object
"We had thought of the electric bell be-
fore Mr.. Collins made his suggestions, and
the materials have been ordered. 1t will be
put in in a very short time.
HAS the scheme to build elevated tracks
been abardoned?" was asked.
"Oh, no, the railroad is ready to 60 ahead
at any time, but the Councils are respon-
sible for the delay"

ONLY THE KEY LEFT.
All Else of the German Lutheran Church In
Literally Blotted Our.

IFROM 6TAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, July 6.-The only thing
left of the German Lutheran Church on Lo-
Gust street was to-day turned over to one of
the members of the congregation. The sex
ton carried to Mrs. Ludwig, one of the
wealthiest and most influential women of
the church, the key to the edifce which the
sexton had in his possession at the time of
the food.
Where the church and pastoral residence
once stood is now nothing but crumbled
mass OF bricks and mortar. There is not
even piece of one of the pews on the
ground to show that church stood upon the
foundation. The pastor, Rev. John Lich-
tenberg, and his fhnily, were drowned, to-
gether with the majority OF the members of
his congregation. The church was hand
some brick building, but was swept away as

An unpIea.nnt COMPANION.

Travellers sometimes have strange bed
fellows. A first class passenger, by a
slow passenger train running between
Howrah and Assemble, was disagreeably
surprised &c find, on waking from Il sound
sleep, that something cold had come in
contact with his hand. On looking at the
hand, what was his horror to find that
underneath it was a cobra. As the snake
was asleep and had not cooled itself
around the hand, the gentleman sprang
up and managed to evade its bite. How
it got into the carriage is one OF those
mysteries no one can unravel. 1t may
nave effected an entrance while the car
riage was on the siding at Howrah, and
quietly ensconced itself behind the cush-
ions of the carriage e at.-Indian Paper.

DR.. o. Sprague Paine, of New York,
has made a speciality of studying the
brain. This is what he says:
Men very often die from overwork,
especially brain workers. Many men
study day and night and work day and
night almost, and so overtaX their brains
that they become mentally and physical
ly incapable of performing their proper
work, and eventually break down alto
gether under the mental strain. These
then nave to rest. and great care has to
be taken in order that they may fully re-
gain their health. In many cases they
have broken down so completely that as
long as they live they are mere wrecks
of their former selves, and in many cases
they fail to recover at all. A great many
are troubled With sleeplessness and fail
to pay any attention to this, thinking
that it is nothing at all. This Is really a
very serious and dangerous condition to
be in. Persons who can't sleep can't
rest properly. Eventually the brain viii
wear out. 1t is absolutely impossible to
keep well without sleep. Men must
have sleep, or else suffer for it, and the
first organ Of the bsdy that will suffer
will be he brain. Unless the brain is
properly rested the patient will break
down and perhaps become insane

fathers body in his house for the last
two years, and he has not yet been able
to raise enough money to bury it. Be

choose a lucky place for him, and he

A Noted Elephant.

The Ceylon papers the death
of an elephant named Sella, which had
served the public works department for
over sixty-five years. Originally Sella
belonged to the last of the kings of Handy,
Sri Wickrema Raja Singha, and was n
of about 100 elephants which passed to
the British government in 1915, when the
KaDdyan dynasty was overthrown and
the whole island passed under British
rule. 1t was supposed at that time
that Sella was Is years of age, but
this was uncertain. In 1880 it was de-
cided that all the elephants belonging to
the public works department should be
sold, and Sella fell TO n well known resi-
len of Colombo, Mr.. De Soysa. The
animal aided in several keddah opera
lions for the capture and tanning of wild
elephants, but became totally blind about
three years ago. He continued, however,
to work at the pillow until within n short
time of his death. After death the tusks
were removed and measured five feet in
length. Sella himself was 8 feet high.

Animal Frfendship.

Here is another story about h friend
ship OF animals A blacksmith named
Thomas Rae bought a little black faced
lamb and put it into a field in which
were q COW and a little Galloway pony.
The lamb took no notice of the COW, but
o began to show great fondness for
the pony, which returned its affection,
and the two friends kept constantly in
each others company. When the pony
was used for riding or drawing n cart
the lamb would trot beside it, and if at
any time the lamb was alarmed by
people coming too near to look at it, it
would run under the body of the pony
and pop out its, little black face from
between the forefeEB,oand look about it
in conscious seSdrfty. At night the
lamb slept in the stable, and If separated
from the pony would raise plaintive
bleatings, which the pony answered by
mournful neighings. And just as a dog
leaves the society of its wi kind TO
follow man, this little lamb forsook its
own species that it might associate with
its friend, for on one occasion, when the
blacksmith was riding the pony, the
lamb, as usual, trotting beside it, they
passed a large flock of sheep that was
being driven along the road. The lamb
never needed the sheep. but went
straight through them with the pony.
Another time both pony and lamb
strayed into an adjoining field, in which
there was a flock of sheep feeding. The
lamb joined them for a short time, but
as soon as the blacksmith came to drive
out the pony the lamb followed without
once looking back at its natural com
panions.-Christian Advocate.
