What Will The End Be.

j. Il. Thickston. II scientist and
astronomer, living at Metuchen, n.
j., while alluding to the Johnstown
horror, said to n Ueraid correspon.
dent that the dreadful catastrophe
was rs nothing compared to what
might have occurred.
THE news from Central Pennsyl-
vania is awful" he said. "but this
may be very little thing compared
with what may yet occur. Near
and west of the Allcghunies great
opening within the carth's crust
must be made somewhere by the
escape of natural gas. viii the
earth settle and fill the empty
places, or will air pass in and there
by make it possible for the immense
reservoirs Of gas, stored away, no
one knows how far, to explode and
make IN upheaval Many people
believe there is gas enough under
Western Pennsylvania and Eastern
ONO to blow the country from Lake
Erie to the Mononsaha into promis
cuous fragments. When oil was
struck at Oil Greek in 1859, timid
folks feared II collapse and sinking
of the oil field, but that danger was
obviated by water running into the
wells rs the oil ran out. The dread
ed vacuum never came, as water
took the place of the removed oil
1t is not so in this case. Water is
not filling up the gas wells, except
to limited extent What the out
come may be is not really very en-.
joyable thing TO revolve in our
minds these pleasant June morn
ings. A submerged valley, lined
with the bones of fifteen thousand
men, women and children is n fear
full thing i'll the history of the hu.
man race, but what of that compar-
ed with wrecked continent What
of that compared with a world blown
open or blown to fragments
am not an alarmist or II sensa-
tional Wiggins. / do not believe
that old Mother Earth is about to
be shot into smithereens, but there
may be danger ahead in this direc-
ton, and although we grieve over
the Conemaugh catastrophe, let us
be thankful that there has not been
n natural gas explosion out West,
and that there are not two rings in
stead of one set of asteroids in the
material heavens"

Popular Topics.

Ed. PosT.-A few weeks ago no.
ticed an editorial in the PosT con
demning Dawson, the Southern lib.
ertine and murderer. The article
was practical and pointed, but all
blame was laid on the man. and the
woman in the case was entirely ig-
nored, when, in fact, the woman is
too often the cause of men stepping
aside the path of virtue.
OF all things contemplate in this
world the woman blackguard is the
most contemplate, and the next
most contemplate thing is the wo-
man who will sit and listen with cv-
ident satisfaction to the obscene
utterances of foul-mouthed male
acquaintance. She may be pure but
this act represents her i'll Il very
questionable light, and opens the
way to the wiles and intrigues of the
libertine. Dead Goals may not burn
but they blacken.
There are extremely few men who
do not respect womanly virtue, and
invariably steer clear from where
they are led TO balieve the genuine
article exists. The best evidence is
the refusal to recognize strangers,
the ignoring of all manner of Hrta-
tions, and the blush-which is right
ly termed "the bloom Of modesty."
Armed with these three she becomes
citidel of virtue and is proof
against the professional starer, the
blackguard and the libertine.
This article was prompted by the
sight on one of our public highways
recently of II woman on horseback,
riding astride and blackguarding the
farmers who chanced to be working
in the fields near the road. Such
thing is not even entitled to the
liberal term of woman, for she is II
stain TO her Sex and nm inviting prey
to the vultures of vice. Man may
fall and rise again, but when woman
once falls to such level she falls
like Lucifcr-neycr to rise again"

There has been no weak point in the ad-

handed down to him by his father,
1t was freely predicted that his tenure
of leadership would be slight and short,
AS all the world knows. this has not
been the case. He has kept his hand on
the lever with the easy grip of conscious
strength, and the machine has never
failed to respond to his touch. There Is
little of the diplomatist in his compost

uses of conciliation; yet friends once
made are his firm friends, and, like his
father, he never deserts his friends AZ
in his fathers case, too, his friendships
lie on either side of the party wall. This
is shown conspicuously in his personal
intimacy and boon companionship with
Democrats like Butler, Ransom and Ran

friends in the consular service untouched
by the late Democratic administration.
He has never essayed to climb the

Especial Corrrspondcncel
PHILADELPHIA, July 3.-Thc death OF
Simon Cameron is the second borcavc-
ment sustained by his son, Senator Cam
eron, within few weeks The first was
the untimely demise of the senator's son.
in-law, Mr.. Bradley, of New Jersey,
son Of Mr.. Justice Bradley, of tho su-
preme court of the United States Both
deaths have occurred since the senator
went to Europe on his summer vacation.
] saw him little more than month
ago, 1t wedding in the Chapel Royal,
Savoy, London, and called his attention
to a remarkable coincidence. He was
sitting Immediately under stained glass
window commemorative of the death in
battle OF an ancestor whose name was
the same as his own, Donald Cameron.
Some people would have considered this
ominous and felt little uneasy about it;
but superstition is foreign to the Came
ron nature, and the phlegmatic senator
thought it very good joke.
By right of primogeniture, j. Donald
Cameron now succeeds his father as the
head of the Cameron clan in America
BY virtue of long and undisputed polti:
cal power, handed down from father to
son, and with its own prestige enhanced
by intermarriage with that other promi.
nent family the Shermans, who are to
Ohio, in some degree, what the Cam.
erons are to Pennsylvania, the Cameron
dynasty has position second to none

ical ambition The father took to poll.
tics like a duck to water, and politics
tempered, more or less, all of his rela'
tons with his fellow men. To him po-
litical leadership was second nature.
The son was always, first of all, man
of business.
! During most of the fathers campaigns
the son spent his days and nights in
amassing wealth. The attainment of
luxury and power through the ordinary
course of business seemed to fill the
measure of his desires. Only once in the
first forty years of his life did he enter
the political market, and then it was on
his fathers account Not until he was
well past 40 years of age and had three
or four million dollars in his own right
did he show any disposition to accept
political preferment. Then he went right
to the front. His first public service was
rendered as a member Of President
Grants cabinet. This was in 1876, ever
memorable as the year of the hottest and
closest of presidential elections.
In those days the bayonet had almost
as much as the ballot to do with deciding
