Two rather notable utteranees have
appeared in print lately respecting our
two most original and profound Ameri-

and petty criticism of his old friend,
Emerson. to Gavan Dasfy, mis- young
Irish friend, which the latter reports in
an English review; the other Is the rev.
elation of his own letters concerning
Hawthorne's attitude in the civil war,
now made public by his college friend.

saying that Emerson borrowed his opln-

NARROWING SCENES.
Tho Flood and Fire Districts OF oil city
and TItusville, Pa.-aIany Missing Bodies

| Iho Flood and Fire Districts OF OIL city
and Titusvllie, Pa.-aIany Missing Bodies
OF Children.
On Cry, Pa, June IA day full oi
excitement and narrowing scenes has
closed here, and thousands who have
been seeking for the doad and aiding
tho suffering have gone to rest Not
all, however, for all along the burned
section can bo seen groups OF persons
still hunting for their loved ones. They
do not seem TO weary or despair, but
dig into the accumulated filth and rub
bish with baro and bleeding hands
Many of them have not ceased for mo-
ment In the search for tho dead With
out food and sleep, the unwcaried are
continuing in their task For many Of
them the work will be without result,
for II is now certain many OF the bodies
have becn either burned TO cinders or
swept into the flood
The banks along the crock are caving
in, and many victim has gono 10 his
last resting place unattended by mourn
ing friends and with no ceremonies.
AT late hour last night sixty-scven
bodies had been taken from the ruins,
and this practically ends the work OF
the searchers until to-day. Those who
are acquainted with the locality where
the most damage was done, say that the
loss of life must reach at least $50 and
many put the figures at 200. The mum
Der Of the bodies recovered gives no fair
estimate OF the number lost.
The section where the loss of life Is
greatest was largely occupied by for
eigners employed Ia the tube works.
No one knows their names but 1t will
be impossible 70 ever learn just how
many are missing. In this seotion also
were vast number OF children, or, ms
one citizen puts 1t, there were swarms
OF them OF all the bodies recovered
only ten were children, and the great
question Is, what has become of the
rest of the children?
Oh creek, the scene Of the great d.
saster, rises in tho northern part Of
Crawford county and flows in II gener-
ally southerly direction 10 Titusville
and from there almost due south To tho
Allegheny river at OH City. Just below
Titusville it Is joined by Enst Oil or
Pine creek
Between Titusville and Oil City there
are nine hamlets where oil wells have
been running which have attained the
dignity of post Offices From Titusville
toward oil City, IN order, the towns are:
Ttusville, s,07s; Boughton, 100; Miller
Farm, 100; Mededith, 2Os; Pioneer, 100;
Petroleum Center, 200; Columbus, 800;
Rynd Farm, 800; Rouseville, 300; Me-
Clintocl, 100; OH City, 1o,o82. The
eighteen miles between Titusville and
Oil City probably represent popula-
tion of from 10000 TO %. 900.
AT rIrUsyILLE.
TrTUsyILLE, Pa, June 7-At least
100, and more probably l50 lives have
been lost here, and 81 300, 600 damage
done by fearful cloudburst which
caused flood to sweep down on creek
and devastate this town and the sur
rounding country, Fire added 70 tho

SOME of the prettiest boulevards in
the world are 10 be found in South
America In La Plata there are a num-
Der of boulevards 200 feet wide, and
these have not only. become = source of
attraction for the city, but also a com
mercial success, owing TO the increased
value of property and the strong desire
of leading merchants 10 be located on
thoroughfares at once so magnificent
and popular. There are other cities in
South America which also have devel-
oped the boulevard idea in an exceed
ingly enterprising and satisfactory
manner, and one reason why these
extra wide streets have proved so sue
cessful is that the idea is embodied in
business thoroughfares as well as in
purely residential districts
