morning. The work of this station is without
doubt the most laborious of all, and the COM
mittee did most wise thing in securing the
services of Mrs Easton, for she is ver1table
encyclopedia. The questions that are put to
her during the day and which she is supposed
TO answer, would make Colorado lawyer turn
green with envy; but despite all this she has a
smile and good word for everyone. and at the
end Of her long vigil is generally the more
thoroughly awake of the entire committee.
Sometimes she has to answer tine most ridicu-
lous questions. Yesterday afternoon a lS-year-
old girl, well dressed and with a radiant face,
entered the church and informed Mrs Easton
that her name was Heggeman and her folks re-
sided on Fifty-second street, and that she
would like to have one of the babies from the
Johnstown food. The little one was so thor
oughly in earnest in her request that Mrs
Easton, who was at first inclined to smile, put
on a very serious look and promised TO comply
with the girls demand.

Hunting for Friends.
During the evening the scenes in the vesti-
bule Of the church beggared description. Peo-
pie from all parts of the country came to the
church and requested Mrs. Dr. Easton to find
out whether or not their friends were among
the living. Mrs. Easton had spread on her
table before her copy of the extra DISPATCH
containing the names of the saved which she
found, as she said. of invaluable assistance to
her.
One man named Morgan came to the door to
inquire for his friends. He had travelled all
the way from Washington Territory. The ro-
nance of the story was that both he and his
wife had lived in Johnstown, and at the time
of their marriage they ran away from home in
order to become man and wife. Morgan was
on his way East on business when he heard of
the disaster. He Immediately telegraphed his
wife. who started for home the next day and is
expected here to-day. Mr.. Morgan found on
inquiry that the majority of his own family
were safe, but his wife's relatives were nearly
all lost.
shortly before 10 o'clock a bright, manly
looking boy of probably Is or IA years of age,
entered the vestibule. and unhestatIngly
walked to Mrs. EasJOn's table, and asked per-
mission to go in and see the refugees, as he
wanted to find out If be knew any of them.
Mrs. Easton asked him why he wanted 10 go in,
and he answered very straightforwardly, My
sister, her husband and my cousin were there"
His Mother Was Gone.
Then the boys face grew white, and he hesi-
tated, and with quivering lip, said, And my
mother" as he uttered the last word the poor
little fellow broke down completely, and sink
ing in a chair. cried as though his heart would
break. His name is David Allison, and he
lives at 247 Thirty-eighth street. His mother
was on visit to Johnstown, and he had not
heard of her since the food. He was taken
through the church, but could find no one who
could give him any information. A DISPATCH
reporter later made some inquiries regarding
the matter. and learned positively that The
boys mother was dead. and that her body was
expected to arrive this morning. Itwas deemed
inadvisable, however, to tell the boy.

forethought. compiled list of her personal
friends, and the fate they had met, she turned !
