ERIE, PA, May 17.-Mill Greek. a

into roaring, rushing current by the
long continued heavy r&ins OF the past
day and night.
1t has broken from its banks, carry
ing fear and destruction along its path,
which IL has strewn with wrecked

vacate their homes and seek refuge

Fifty thousand dollars will not begin

homes and finally had to flee for their
lives through pitiless rain and inKy
darkness. In some cases people lad TO
wade through water up to their knees
to escape from their houses. The dam
age done to property OF all kinds is very
heavy and cannot be estimated at
the present writing, but may reach as
high as S12o, 600 to the city. The casu-
aties so far reported is only one, that
Of a young boy named Frank Heberle,
whose body was found at the foot OF
Parade street this morning. Two faml-
lies named Marks and Camphausen, had
to be removed from their houses by TO"
boats, their yards and houses being six
feet deep in water. The scene on Tenth
street. between French and Holland,
reminded many of the floods that oc-
Cured at Oil City and Tltusville year
ago. The bridge on Twelfth, near
French, was carried away, and traffic
there has been transferred to other
streets. Altogether, this is the worst
food experienced In Erie.

rhs Six Companles Making Collectlons.


New York, May IA morning paper
has received authoritative information
that the Six Companies have mad and still
have their agents at work throughout the
country collecting s. from every China
man on American soil. This collection IS
independent from one recently made openly
whose ostensible purpose was the raising
of funds to defray the expenses OF counsel
in fighting the Geary act in the courts.
The latter collection netted something like
500, 900.
The present collection is being secretly
made. The contributors are not told TO
what ends the money is TO be devoted. An
Americanized Chinamap, who is in ousl-
ness in the neighborhood OF Mott street and
long ago threw OF the yoke of the Six Com
panies, said that every one OF his compa-
triots in this city had received the order TO
be ready TO contribute. Who IS TO act as
collector has not yet been told, but when
this person appears he will hnd Mott
street ready with its money.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The Minister Calls Upon Secretary Gresh-
ammo Intimation of Trouble.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 17.-Con-
gresham Caminetti, of California, had
a short conference with the President
this morning and left the White House
feeling assured that 1t was the lnten'
tion OF the President to see that the
Chinese restriction act was enforced.
Mr.. Csminetti denied that 1t would
take ANYTHING like the sum OF money
that has been mentioned TO enfore the
act, for the reason that these Cinnamon
entitled to remain would have to secure
their certificates at their own expense,
and that those against whom the law
Is really aimed will be frightened out OF
the country the moment an honest at
tempt is made to enforce it. Mr.. Cam
inetti Is OF the opinion that what adol-
tional money may be needed VIII De
voted at the next session OF Congress
and he fears no repeal Of the law.
Reports from 40 Of the 63 internal
revenue districts show that 3,444 Chi
nese have registered. No reports have
vet been received from the Pacific coast
districts.
The ChiCese Minister, accompanied oy
his English speaking Secretary, called
at the State Department this afternoon
and had a conference with Secretary
Gresham in regard to the Supreme
Courts decision affirming the constitu
tionality of the Geary act. He gave no
intimation whatever of an intention to
suspend diplomatic relations with the
United States, but on the contrary In
dicatsd his purpose Of quieting affairs
in China as much as possible.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 17.-Pen-
sion Commissioner Lochrsn's recent or
der abrogating the system of "com-
pleted files" and returning to former
methods has been the subject OF much
favorable comment among pension at
torneys since its issuance.
Corporal James Tanner, eX-Commis-
sloner OF Pensions. has talked with sew
eral OF the more prominent pension at
torneys OF this city on the order. 50
far as he was able 70 learn il is salts
factory TO all Of them. In speaking OF
the revocation OF practice which led 70
the Congressional investigation under
the Raum admin istrstion, he said:
"I sum IL all up in general terms
when say that am very glad Judge
Lochren has issued such an order. Under
the order as IL stood the attorneys SIM
pie statement OF the case sent u 20 the
completed files. ] suppose there are
40, 900 pension attorneys throughout the
country, and some of them, at least,
would not stand on the point OF
honor il they thought it would
expedite their claims. There are a
number who would certify cases TO the
completed files, undoubtedly knowing
that they were not complete. These
claims would be sent back to the board
OF review with q call for the evidence
that was lacking and the dishonest at
torney would thus get tho advantage In
having the call for evidence that was
necessary TO complete the case made
before it would otherwise have
come in its turn. Now the principal
effect OF Judge Locheran's order Is that
the experienced men in the adjudicsting
division when they find a case complete,
will send into the Board Of Review for
fnal action. In other words, cases will
be taken up in their turn as they be-
some really completed, and the capable
and faithful attorney will get the ad-
vantage that ought TO accrue TO any
man in any profession who attends TO
his business thoroughly"

THE CITIZEN
The Poem of Life.


Born of love and hope, of ecstaey and
pain, of agony and fear, of tears and joy
lowered with the wealth of two united
hearts-held in happy arms, with lips upon
life's drifted font, blue veined and fair,
where perfect peace finds perfect form
rocked by willing feet and wooed to shad-
owey shores of sleep by siren mother sing
ing soft and low looking with wonders
wide and startled eyes at common things
of life and day-taught by want and wish
and contact with the things that touch the
dimpled flesh of babes-lured by light and
fame and charmed by color's wondrous
robes, learning the nse of hands and feet,
and by the love of mimicry begniled to ut
ter speech-releasing prisoned thought
from grabbed and curious MARKS on soiled
and tattered leaves-puzzling the brain
with crooked numbers and their changing,
tangled worth-and so through years OF
alternating day and night, until the captive
grows familiar with the chains and walls
and limitations of q life.
And time runs on in sun and shade, un-
til the one of all the world is wooed and
won, and all the lore of love is taught and
learned again. Again home is built,
with the fair chamber wherein faint dreams
like cool and shadowy wales, divide the bill
lowed hours of love. Again the miracle OF
birth-the pain and joy, the kiss of vel
come and the cradle song, drowning the
drowsy prattle of a babe.
And then the sense of obligation and OF
wrong-pity for those who toll and weep
tears for the imprisoned and despised-
love for the generous dead, and in the
heart the rapture of high resolve.
And then ambition, with its lust of pelf
and power, longing to put upon its breast
distinctions worthless badge. Then keen
er thoughts of men, and eyes that see be-
hind the smiling mask OF craft-hattered
no more by the obsequious cringe of gain
and greed-knowing the uselessness OF
boarded gold and honor bought from those
who charge the usury of self respect-oi
power that only bends towards knees
and forces from the lips of fear the lies Of
praise. Knowing at last the unstudied
gesture of esteem, the reverent eyes made
rich with honest thoughts, and holding
high above all other things high as hopes
great throbbing star about the darkness Of
the dead-the love OF wife and child and
| friend
Then locks of gray and growing love o.
other days and half remembered things
then holding withered hands of those who
first held his, while over dim and loving
eyes death softly pressed down the lids Of
rest
And so, locking in marriage vows his
children's hands, and crossing others on
the breasts of peace, with daughters babes
upon his knees, the white hair mingline
with the gold, he journeys on from day to
day to the horizon where the dusk is wait
ing for that night-sitting by the holy
hearth of home, as the last embers change
from red to gray, he falls asleep within the
arms of one he worshipped and adored,
feeling upon his pallid lips loves last and
holiest kiss.

Boys shonld learn a Trade.

Ii il to be regretted so few Of our Amer
lean boys learn any trade. The boy who
scarves an apprenticeship in any of the
hundred skilled industries, gets training
that will be advantageous to him all his
life, and that will very surely enable him
to earn living as long as he lives. 1t is
a splendid thing for a young fellow to
start ont in the world with a good trade.
He can be as stiff as he pleases, and
doesn't need to knuckle down to anybody,
neither to the boss nor to the foreman, if
he minds his own business and steers clear
of galiyanting. He can nearly always get
a job at fair pay, and can often have a
chance of travelling to some other part of
of the country to look for better job at
higher pay.
Yet a vast number of our American boys
don't want to learn trade, They are anx-
ious to be Office boys, or counter jumpers
or salesboys or clerks, or something of
that kind. Stupid fellows, when they
have a chance to become skilled mechan-
ics Why, we were told by a gentleman
the other day that he knew of three youth
ful Americans who were serving as door
boys in large up town six-story apart
ment house. What show for promotion
have theyi They can hardly hope even to
get jsnitorship.
We say that boys who need to earn a
living do well to learn a trade, and then
strike out in life, free as the American
flag.
In Indiana young man was appoint
ed House clerk on the strength of his

The Mouth.

The mouth is the front door of your face.
1t is the aperture to the cold storage room
of your anatomy. Some mouths look like
peaches and cream and some look like a
hole chopped into brick wall to admit o
new door or window. The mouth is hot
bed of toothaches; the bung-hole of oratory
and baby's Growing glory. 1t is the Grim
son aisle to our liver and natures appara-
tus for blowing the gas. 1t is the patriots
fountain head and the tool-chest for pie.
Without it the politician would be wan
derer on the face of the earth and che cor
netist and the chorus girl would 20 down
to unhonored graves. 1t is the grocer's
friend, the orators pride and the dentists
hope. 1t puts some men on the rostrum
and many on the stone pile. 1t is tempta-
tion's lunch corner when attached to a
maiden, and tobacconist's s friend when at
tached to man. Without it married life
would be a perpetual summer dream and
the dude would lose half his attractions.
And most of all and the greatest of all, if
there were no mouths there would be no
good-bys or happy greetings, no words of
comfort, of hope, no laughter full of sun
shine. or songs full of praise; the hired man
could not be called to dinner and no one
would ask, "Is this cold enough for you ?"
