GOVERNOR HILLS idea of giving the convicts in the prisons in that state hard work, and plenty of it, will strike a good many people outside the jails as eminently sensible. This notion of lux urious leisure for convicts is about played out, or if it isn't it ought to be.

THE JOHNsTOWN DEAD.

There is an apparent difficulty in as
pertaining the loss of life at J0hnstown.
The dead cannot be counted because
they cannot be found. There is no tell
ing h ow many bodies lie in the great
piles Of debris and in the thick mud
that covers the site Of the town, nor can
it ever be estimated how many have
been washed away, never to be seen
again. 1t was there as elsewhere;
many persons in modest circumstances
had but limited circle of friends and
acquaintance, and perhaps all within
that circle persisted. so that there are
none left to tell the tale of their destruc-
ton.
1t can be safely assumed that at the
time the flood swept down the fated
valley there were at least twenty-five
thousand living souls in the way of the
torrent. 1t came with such suddenness
and with so much violence that it is al
most beyond human probability that
one-half should escape. So that an es-
innate of $4,000 or $4,000 is very low
one to fix for the number of the dead.
The nearest approximation that can ever
be made to the total loss of life will be
made by taking new census and as
certaining the number of survivors.

THE ROCHESTER, SCANDAL.

The attempt made by the Pioneer
Press yesterday to put the Rochester
asylum scandal in the same category
with the Cook county asylum affair is
wholly unwarranted.by the facts. They
are not parallel eases, for the simple
reason that there is no evidence that
the management of the Rochester asy-
lum was in collision with the brutal at
PENDANTS, nor is there any reason to
suppose that more than one case OF ex-
IRENE brutality occurred. The single
victim in the Rochester case was burly
negro of naturally tiendish DISPOSE
ton, which had been aggravated by his
insanity. We are not attempting to
apologize for the Rochester manage
ment; but we do think that we see eX-
tenuating circumstances, which relieve
it of the grossly brutal characteristics OF
the Cook county affair, and a sense OF
justice impels us to say as much.
Yet we unhesitatingly denounce that
laXity in asylum discipline which
makes it possible for subOrdinates with
brutal instincts to maltreat patients.
Patients are sent to these asylumS with
the expectation that they will be ten
derby cared for, and whenever this eX-
pectation fails of realization there is
good ground for change of manage
ment. There are some forms OF in
sanity so violent that it is absolutely
necessary to use force in restraining the
patient; and yet that can always be
done without an exhibition of cruelty.
1t is too frequently the case that asylum
managers are not discriminating enough
in employing their help; but still
worse feature is that, owing to the fact
that these institutions are usually under
political influences, subordinates are
forced into position as a reward for
political services, and not because OF
their adaptability to the place, and the
superintendent really has no discretion
in the matter. We are not informed as
to the exact status of the Rochester
asylum in this respect, but we are in
clined to suspect that, like most of our
public institutions, it has been made
football for the politicians so long that
it is really in pretty badly demoralized
condition. And yet we are not pre-
pared to believe that its management
has descended to the depths of the
Cook county concern.

PENSION DISTINCTIONS.

The pension Office. even under TAN
NER and BUssEY, has sustained one OF
Commissioner BLACKS decisions. A
cavalry soldier was getting S4 a month
for hurt to his foot caused by his car
bine going Off while he was using it to
beat his played-out horse. AS this was
in violation of orders, it was held not to
be in line of duty, and he was cut off.
He was back for the pension when
BLACK went out, but the office has re-
fused to restore him. Ii it had been a
wooden horse he would have come in, OF
course. His case should be as good as
that of the man POWELL, who hurt his
knee Oh demijOhn some weeks after
he had been mustered out. BUssEY
holds that he was ON the line of duty.
Curious distinctions are now prevalent
in the pension office.

AN APPEAL FOR AID.

Mayor Smith Receives an Urgent
Appeal From the Relief Com
mittee.
Mayor Smith yesterday received a
touching appeal from the headquarters
of the Johnstown Relief committee ask
ing for aid for the survivors of the Cone
maugh valley disaster. The message,
dated June 3. reads as follows:
Mayor of st. Paul-Reports from Johns
town grow worse and worse. Thousands Of

terrible heap and slowly burned, without q
possibility OF saving or rescuing the human
beings. Cut off from aid for thirty hours.
Thousands of lives and many millions OF
dollars are gone. May we not appeal to your
generous city to aid the survivors? Money
and imperishable articles sorely needed.
Thieves only kept at bay by armed men.
Please reply. WILLIAM McCRERY.

A Spider-Web Telephone.

Youths Companion.
A gentleman was watching some
spiders, when it occurred to him to try
what effect the sound of tunlng-fork
would have upon them. He suspected
that they would take it for the buzzing
of fly.
He selected large, ugly spider that
had been feaSting on flies for two
months. The spider was at one edge of
it's web. Sounding the fork, the man
touched a thread at the other side, and
watched the result. Mr.. Spider had the
buzzing sound conveyed to him over his
telephone wires, but how was he to
know on which particular wire it was
travelling?
He ran to the center of the web very
quickly and felt all around until he
touched the thread against the other
end of which the fork was sounding:
then, taking another thread along, Just
as man would take an extra piece of
rope, he ran out to the fork and sprang
upon it.
Then he retreated a little way and
looked at the fork. He was puzzled.
He had expected to find a buzzing fly.
He got on the fork again and danced
with delight. Evidently the sound was
music to him.

AT WASHINGTON.
Long Bridge Damaged-.-MilIion
of Fish Set Free.

Long Bridge Damaged-..MilliOn
of Fish Set Free.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-After reach
ing the highest mark on record
yesterday afternoon, the Potomac be-
gan to fall rapidly, and this morn
ing the streets in South Washing
ton were free from water all along the
river front. 1t gradually receded
throughout the day, bringing the
wharves once more to view. Hundreds
of fish were left behind by the receding
stream, and were caught with the hands
by boys and men, who searched through
the wet grass of the Smithsonian
grounds and elsewhere for them. The
fish commission spread large nets out
IN the river, near the monument, for
the purpose of recovering as many of
the German carp which escaped from
the breeding station as possible. Be-
sides the carp, million young shad two
inches long were set at liberty by the
flood. Several schOoners and large
boats have been left high and dry.
There are fears expressed that the
foundation of the Washington monu-
ment might have been seriously dam
aged, and careful examination will he
made. The long bridge, which it has
been feared all along would he swept
away by the turbulent river and the
boats and debris which smashed against
it, remained intact. though badly
strained, until about o'clock this after
noon, when one of the spans next the
draw broke loose and started down
the river. One other span will have
to be cut away, and tonight OF to-mor-
row the work of repairing the bridge
will begin. 1t is badly wrecked and
torn, and will cause considerable loss to
the Pennsylvania railroad, which
crosses it to make Its southern connec-
tions. The
RAILROAD SITUATION
has frightened up considerably. The
PENNSYLVANIA railroad to-day again
made connection with New York and
places west as far as Harrisburg for the
first time siuce Saturday. j. Lowrie
Bell, the superintendent of the railway
mail service, states that the transporta-
ton of the mails is in confused state.
The New York Central is clear, and last
night a special train containing the ac-
cumulated mail for the West was dis
patched. Mail from the West was COM
ing East OH the same line. The Southern
connections are interrupted, but mail
matter is now being sent by the Chesa-
peake Bay line to Norfolk, and thence
to Weldon, N. G. From that point the
communication is maintained. To-mor-
row, and perhaps sooner, the Piedmont
Air line will reach Alexandria. and
then the mails will be sent there from
this city by ferry boats. Mr.. Bell states
that he has received no information that
any mail matter has been lost on ac-
count of the foods. Capt. Folger, in
charge of the navy yard, has reported to
the navy department. that the yard can
be cleared up and put in working order
by Wednesday. The damage by the
flood will not exceed 5000.

SIXTEEN LIVES LOST.
RumOred Loss of Schooner with
Her Crew.

RACINE, Wis, June 3.-Robert York,
claiming to be second mate of the
schooner Isaac Houston. tells story Of
the Houston being shipwrecked and
sixteen lives lost. He says the Houston
when six miles off Milwaukee during
the storm of Friday night, broke com
pletely in two and Captain Hudson. his
wife and two children, First Mate Fow.
Ter and eleven of the crew persisted.
York also claims that sailor named
Joseph Bouts and himself locked arms
over spar and after being in the water
thirty-twO hours. came ashore this side
of Milwaukee. Lake men here give
YOrk's story little credence.

A PESTILENCE FEARED.
Fears That the Decaying Corpses
Will Breed Typhus.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The Masonic
relief committee which went from
Pittsburg to Johnstown telegraphed
President Harrison this afternoon, urg-
ing the appointment of national COM
mission to take charge of sanitary af
fairs at the scene of the disaster. It
was urged that the presence of so many
decaying corpses would breed a pesti-
lence there besides poluting the water
of the streams affecting all the country
between Pittsburg and New Orleans.
President Harrison conferred with Gen.
SchOfield, who was present at the
White house when the message was re-
ceived and shortly Surgeon General
Hamilton was SummOnded to take part
in the conference. The fact was de-
yeloped that the national sanitary
crops, if such it may be called. is COM
posed Of physicians located at various
points. DR.. Atkinson would confer
with and assist the Pennsylvania state
board of heath in any measures it might
institute in aid of the public health and
comfort, and that Surgeon General
Hamilton would be ready to give advice
or assistance; SO that whatever was UNI
dertaken might be carried forward by
official sanction and authority. Instruc-
tiOnS in accordance with this decision
was at once sent to DIR. Atkinson by
Surgeon Hamilton. Later in the day
the receipt of the presidents telegram
was acknowledged by the Masonic COM
mittee with thanks, and their satisfac-
ton with its terms expressed. The fol-
lowing telegram was received by PreSi-
dent Harrison this evening from Gen.
Beaver. who has made his way from
York to Harrisburg:
Harrisburg, Pa, June $40 the Presi-
dent, Washington: The sheriff of Cambria
county says everything is quiet and that he
can control the situation without the aid of
troops The people are fairly housed aud
good order prevails. The supply Of food so
far is equal to the demand, but supplies of
food and clothing are still greatly needed
Conservative estimates place the loss of life
at from .. 900 to 10000, and loss OF property
at from $25, 5000 to $4,000, 900. The
people are at work heroically, and will have
large force tomorrow clearing away the
freely expressed. One telegram from Eng
land gives $1,000. will issue general APP
peal to the public tonight. Help comes from

RACE STATISTICS.

The current impression has en-that
in the Southern climate the cOlored race
was more prolific than the white. But
the New Orleans Times-Democrat in
sists that where left by itself, with no
visible admixture of white blood. the
negro population falls behind in growth.
If it increases at all, it is very slowly.
This is alleged to be the case in Hayti.
Jamaica and the black counties of the
Carolina coast, as we'll as other parts of
the South. Figures are adduced In sup
port of this statement. There is no ap-
prehension that the South will be over
whelmed by the black population.

Continued From First Page.
fore the heavy second part was begun.
This latter half OF the evening wa
opened by the Jupiter" symphony IN
G, Mozart's
LAST AND GROWING MASTERPIECE.
This symphony is divided into four
parts. The first, allegro, is an elaborate
ripple of sweet music from beginning
to end, gay and joyous it starts OFT with
out introduction as If unable to restrain
Its expression of happiness. Gradually
exhausting itself, it dies away into q
peaceful sleep, and again springs to life
with its merry music. AS the theme
dies away on one instrument, another
takes it up, and one follows the other in
a sort Of lively fugue, whose
beauties cannot possibly be described.
The andante is a melOdiOus blending OF
sustained notes on muted violins, with
plaintive strains from the ObOes and
clariOnets. The first part is the most
beautiful, and he must indeed be dull
of ear who could not appreciate its sad
melody. The minuet is composed OF
materials of the finest sort, and is eS-
sentially typical of Mozart. The fresh
grace of the movement and the ex-
quisite beauty of the theme make this
one of the works of the great master
which will live forever. Following on
the stately beauty of the minuet comes
the complex fugue-like finale. This. to
cultivated ear, is the most magnifi-
cent of the four parts. 1t is as various
as tuneful, and the complicated music
was played to perfection by the
orchestra. The evening closed with
MendelsS0hn'S 'Lauda Son." a
fitting pendant to the overture.
The opening chorus showed the
singers to be thoroughly up in their
business. and the way they watched the
leaders baton showed good training.
Nine. Herbert Forester sang the ''Sirg
of Judgment solo in fine style, and the
quartette Eye Who From His Ways"
was splendid bit of work. Mr.. Ricket-
son was heard for the first time in this
and showed himself to have fine tenor
voice of great purity. The magnifi.
cent OratoriO is too we'll known to
need description. Suffice it to say that
the chorus Ibid themselves proud"
Their attack was good and their pre-
cision excellent. The soloists are be-
yOnd criticism, aud the whole affair
was perfect, with the exception of
few miHor details noted before. If the
concerts tonight and this afternoon are
equally good, the members of the
dOunOd club have cause to congratulate
themselves. The programme for the
matinee to-day is one of popular music.
and that for tonight is exclusively
selected from Wagner.

try.
Those who are compelled to be at
their desks, or their daily labors from
the beginning of a year to its close. and
have not the time nor the opportunity,
to take an occasional jaunt into the
country, for even day, to look upon
the crystal faces Of beautiful lakes. to
see the waving grain reckoning the har
yester onward. to breathe the pure air
freighted with the perfume of summer
flowers, such all one certainly loses
much. And yet we have in our city
men, and women too, whose duties
and cares deprive them of this
great pleasure, this health-giv-
Ing recreation. On the 3Oth ultimo
L took short trip to Dodge Center
not far it is true, but then l breathed
pure air for few hours, free from the
noise and hustle Of our busy streets.
The object OF my visit was to participate
in the ceremonies incident to Decora-

the train at the appointed moment
moved out. crossed the bridge and
dashed onward through the f0urishing
suburbs of South Park, South St. Paul,
