JOHNsTOWN CALAMITY.

The latest advices from Johnstown are
brighter than those which for several
days followed the awful calamity. The
sympathy of the entire country has been
aroused and has brought substantial aid
to the sufferers. From all parts of the
country money has poured in, for on oc-
casions of this kind the American people
are one and contribute generously. The
good work should go on until homes are
rebuilt and orphans are sheltered-until
provision is made for aged people and
the city is rendered habitable. If con-
gress were in session the country would
call for liberal appropriation, but the
means are ample for dealing with the
emergency without Legislative aid.
While American generosity thus does
all that is possible to relieve the victims
of the flood, our scientists will be expect
ed to surround dams, reservoirs, water
courses and flooded rivers with all the
safeguards which skill can devise. The
weather bureau at Washington should
cooperate in such work and use Its ex-
tended signal service to give warning
when floods are forming. If necessary a
corps should be sent to flooded districts
to warn the inhabitants. Surveys should
likewise be on hand so that the places OF
danger may be readily known without re-
course to local reports, which are often
misleading. The most rigid inspection
should be demanded at reservoirs and
daily reports should be made as to theil
condition and the height of the water.
BY these precautions and others which
| will suggest themselves calamities may
be averted or their destructive effects
greatly mitigated.

A glance at the appOrtionment of th

A glance at the apportionment of the
county into registration districts, as made
by the board Of commissioners yesterday,
shows some strange features. The most
singular thing is that registration dis
trict is created for Soldier creek precinct
alone where only IA votes were polled
last fall, and there has probably not been
gain of single vote since. The people
of that section do their trading and gen
eral business at Gorham and it would not
have disconnected them in the least to
register at that place, especially as they
have period covering 55 days in which
to have their names recorded. 1t will
doubtless be much greater hardship to
go to any one place in the precinct to be
registered. Truly precinct, where only
80 votes were cast last fall, is also made a
separate district, when it should have
been grouped with some neighboring pre-
clncts. On the other hand, Mission pre-
clnct where there are over 60 votes is de-
MED separate district and the voters
there must go from 16 to 20 miles to Cas-
cade to register. The same is true OF
Stickney, which is also included in the
Cascade district. The small precincts
so generously provided for are republi
can and the larger ones that the board
did not appear to be so solicitious about are
democratic. There is no exception to this
rule. An attempt was made to create {
'shoestring district" by putting the Smell
ter and Lakes precincts together, thus re-
quiring the voters Of the latter precinct
to pass through Great Falls and 60 dowr
to the Smelter to register, and Mr.. HASTE
is entitled to the credit of defeating thi
scheme. 1t was carrying partisanism to
little higher pitch than he could stand.

JUICE DYAs heard, as in duty bound,
the complaint of Depres, but as he failed
to make out case for holding the de-

costs incurred. That is a good way to
protect the county and prevent prosecu-
tions which lack the needful testimony to
sustain them.

CANADA now seeks authority to send
representative to Washington to nego-
tiate treaties on her own account. This
will horrify the imperialists, who would
maintain intact the authority of the crown.
Canada is now united to us by railroads,
mail routes, commerce and telegraph
lines. She should join as politically and
thus grow to her proper dimensions.

 The board of education met last evening with President Welch in the chair. Secre- tary Days report was, read and approved. It was voted to have the Hyperion Theater for the graduation exercises. The motion to hire the Hyperiq6 Theater for the class day exercises met fth some argument, as few were in favoIbf tearing down the partitions in the High echool hall and using that room for the Exercises. It was finally laid upon the tabls
 It vi suggested that electric clocks be place6in in the twelve Grammar schools It wasffound that it would cost $2OO to buy them and $12 year to keep them in repair and nothing was done about them.
 The report of H. H. Strong and M. Zun- der, the committee appointed to look up Fair, Wooster and Whiting streets school buildings, was read, and they stated that these buildings were in a very poor condition and suggested that if anything was done that they be torn down and new ones erect ed.
 The secretary read the financial report which showed that their total running ex- penses of the schools was $26, 764. O9, and with the Webster school deducted $20,- 301.14

THE TIGRESS.
THE WIFE.
The Best Roof Fet.

A roofing compound which comments it. self to all builders and property owners is coming into general use in this city, though it is already well known in other parts of the country. Every roofing now in use has it's weak points; tar and gravel leak, shingles wear out, slate is liable to crack and tin needs constant painting. The soapstons roof is a combination of soapstone and oils in such
 proportions as to make the compound prac- ticslly indestruetible. waterproof and fire proof, as test of F years in other cities has proved. Mayor Winslow, of Worcester, has used this roofing on his own buildings for thirteen years and finds it so satisfactory that he has recently adopted the roofing for public buildings in that city. The first cost is not greater thsn that of the common roof ing materials, but the saving in repairs is an important item.

The Cold Wave Coming-The Re-
 markedly Mild Weather Of she Last
 Four Weeks.
 The ice consumers are taking new courage over the report yesterday of the big cold wave on it's way here from Manitoba. It was 42 degrees below zero in places in Dakota yester- day. in others from % to 30 below.
 Captain Fred J. Peck of the steamboat line speaking of the remarkably fine mild weather of the last four weeks recalls that the steam
 boats last year had no trouble at all with ice
 in the Sound until January 23.
 Mr. L. F. Comstock, the real estate dealer,
 recalls to mind @ remarkably long mild spell
 of weather fifty years ago when he saw dan
 delions in bloom in many places and peach blossoms on his peach trees during the early part of January.
 East Granby woodchucks forgot themselves and ventured out of their holes last Tuesday, it was 30 warm. Charley Viets' dog brought one of the 'chucks home in his mouth. It has been strange weather, indeed. There has been no sleighing; there is no frost in the ground; lawns are green; the farmers report ground moles plenty, as shown by their abun- dant newly-made furrows, appearances not seen probably in Connecticut fields in Janu- ary oftener than once or twice in 8 century. English violets are in bloom; garden colum- pines, crocuses and other plants are starting up in new growths in city gardens as in mid April, and they are bound to be killed by the severe winter weather that will inevitably come.
 Mir. William H. Meigs of Windsor, S4 years old, hale and hearty, and working every day upon his farm, recalls most distinctly that the winter of 1815-16 was a remarkably
 mild one On Christmas day ne and another lad went barefoot out doors all the forenoon, and in the afternoon went out to pond on which pond lily leaves as green as if 1t were mid-winter, were floating on the surface. The following summer MT. Meigs also recol. 1ects was a notably cold one. Frost killed all l the farm crops that were out of the ground
 in June. Corn sprouted again and again was killed by frost and snow. There were snow squalls all summer, and more snow than ir the winter previous
