$4,000, 600 SCORE OF PERSONS
DEAD-5uslNEss HAS BEEN
PARALYzED BY THE ENFORCED
SUSPENSION THIS WEEK.

II kTr
Pittshurg, Pa, March 16.-The riv-
ers are again back in their channels
and the greatest flood ever known here
is matter of history. For twenty
four hours the water has been steadily
receding and the stage at 10 O'clock
today was II feet and still falling at
the rate Of about six inches an hour
With the receding waters the extent
of the damage caused is laid bare, and
there is no reason to change the esti-
mate of property and business losses.
The most conservative figures are
$10,000,000 and they run from this all
the way to $20.000,000
The loss of life in the past three
days is not yet definitely ascertaineds
At4least a score of persons met death
an the flood, and many are said to be
missing. a
Business is again assuming some
thing like normal proportions, but it
will be weeks before Pittsburg, Alle-
gheny and the valleys of the three
rivers fully recover from the wide
spread commercial paralysis caused by
the, tying up of the railroad and trac-
ton lines, the silencing of telephones
and the suspension of the mills, fac
tories and furnaces.

Ex-senator Cockrell probably is the
only man in Washington who ever
kept President Roosevelt waiting at 4
dinner. 1t was one of the cabinet din
ners that were given by the Secretary
of the Interior and Mrs. Hitchcock
three years ago. The President and
Mrs Roosevelt arrived in due time, rs
did all the other guests except Sena-
tor Cockrell.
After delay of almost an hour Mrs.
Hitchcock invited her guests to the din
ing room and dispatched a messenger
to the residence of Senator Cockrell
to make inquiries Great fear was felt
that the Mssourian had started and
had fallen by the way, as the day was
a cold and wintry one. The fact was,
however, that the senator was sitting
quietly at home when the messenger
got there. clad in his dressing gown
and slippers and congratulating him.
self that he could be indoors. He had
put the date Of the dinner In his cal
endar In large and attractive hand
writing, but had forgotten to turn a
leaf and was, accordingly, a day be-
hind time. No one appreciated the
joke more than did the president, and
the dinner that began in anxiety and
ended in big laugh at
the dear old senator.-Denver Times
