WIDESPREAD SUFFERING IS REPORTED
More Than 10000 Men Added to Army

Pittsburg, Feb 18.-The annual
flood in this city and vicinity is slowly
disappearing. At o'clock Monday
the stage was "a feet and falling 4-10
of an inch an hours BY evening the
water was below the danger mark of
% feet and miles of inundated terri.
tory was left sea of mud and debris.
The body Of one man was found
floating in the river Monday and two
| others are missing. Two houses in the
Penn avenue flood district collapsed
| on account of weakened foundations
and one man was seriously injured. A
score of persons occupying the build
ing fled barely in time to escape being
crushed to death.
Over 10000 men are temporarily
thrown out Of work and this great
number so suddenly added to the army
Of the unemployed is resulting in wide
spread suffering. Thousands Of per-
sons are living in the second floors of
their homes and patrolmen in skiffs
are distributing the necessities of life
In one of the homes woman gave
birth to a child Monday and 1t has
been named Robinson Crusoe. To
reach the house the physician had to
use skiff and ladder. Conservative
estimates place the damage close to
100000.
Transportation facilities are grad
ually assuming normal conditions and
general cleaning up of the sub
merged district is in progress.
Scenes of activity were in evidence
everywhere in the flood district Mon
day. AS the water recedes hundreds
of men are put to work pumping wa
ter from cellars and clearing the de-
bris from the streets.
On the north side patrolmen in
skiffs are distributing coal and food
to imprisoned families. For this purs
pose 1000 loaves of bread and 1000
pounds of bologna were secured Sun
day night.
In the manufacturing district a gen.
eral cleaning up is in progress and
by nightfall all evidence of the food
is expected to be obliterated and bus
mess resumed.
Great amounts of goods have been
destroyed by water in the Easements
of business houses downtown but
stocks valued at hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars were removed to places
of safety early Saturday and the loss
in this respect is much smaller than
in previous years.
At Western Pennsylvania points
above this city the water has receded
from the lowlands and restoration of
normal conditions is under way.

THE PEOPLE YOU MEET

There are people old and young, who

shyness for sullenness We run across
young people who are silent and who pay

born in that way.
Take the stubborn man who can't be

are that you are stubborn with him.
Take the man who resents your inter
ference as an intrusion and Shoes you away
rldely, Perhaps you are an intruder
Take the man who not only seems sulen
but who seems disposed to stay sulen.
Perhaps a long course Of harsh treatment
at the hands Of other people has hardened
him, and maybe you don't get at the right
Joint in his armor.
And then you meet people who are in

but the great bulk Of people like 10 have

DAUGHTER or EXTINCT RACE
JUST ONE HALFBREED LEFT
or THE TASMANIANS.

An Aged Woman the Representative Of
One OF the Oldest Races In me WoFld
Tho Discovery Of Mrs. 3, OF Interest
TO sCientists-Myutery Of Her People.
A cable despatch from Australia while
ago said that DR. Berry Of the University
Of Melbourne had discovered living repre-
sentative Of the extinct native Tasmanian
race, whose home was confined TO tho large
island Of Tasmania, south Of the Australian
mainland. The person be found was q
woman about rs years old who lives in Kan
garoo Island, south Of the State Of South
Australia. hundreds Of milss to the West
Of the land Of her aboriginal fathers.
DR.. Berry has printed his report In the
Proceedings Of the Royal Society Of Vic
toria, and the picture Of the woman here
given Is taken from that Journal. His
discovery has received much publicity
because the Tssmanians we're In some
respects the most interesting Of the native
peoples Of Australasia.
They could not live under predomina ting
white influence and became extinct about
generation ago A few quarterbreeds
still survive, but this woman is a halfbreed,
her mother having been a native Tas-
manian and her father white man.
DR.. Berry says that according to the
best accounts Of the Tasmanians this
woman preserves many Of the physical
characteristics Of her aboriginal ancestry
Anthropologists have deplored the disap-
pearance OF the Tasmanians all the more
because they died out before the present
scientific methods Of studying the physical
Chara cteristios Of aboriginal peoples had
come into use
Kangaroo Island, where the woman
was found. was discovered by Flinders in
1892, and was 80 named by that navigator
because he found great number Of kan
garoos there.
How does it happen that Mrs s., as DR..
Berry calls her, was born and has always
lived so far away from the home Of her
mothers people'
1t appears that prior to 1885 only few
white men lived on the island. One Of them,
known as Wally. arrived from Tasmania
in 1919, bringing with him two aboriginal
women one Of whom became the mother
about seventy-hve years ago Of this half
breed Tasmanian girl. She is to-day, DR..
Berry says, the nearest representative
of one Of the most ancient races in the
world"
The girl was educated by the wife Of the
head keeper Of the Cape Willoughby light
house and was married TO the late William
$. Her father died few years later and
The sun., 1908-05-10

her mother survived him about ten years
and was buried on the island. Mrs. s,
has one son and two daughters. who, Of
course, are quarterbreed Tasmanians.
DR., Berry says that in conversing with
Mrs. 5. the two facts that impressed him
most strongly we're her remarkable in
telligence and the absolute purity Of her
English speech. III | had not actually
heard her. he says. Il could not have
believed that such intelligence could have
been derived in one generation from a
race often but perhaps quite erroneously,
supposed to have been one Of the most
degraded and brutal among tho worlds
races
Others who know her are Of the same
opinion, and DR.. Berry quotes Mr.. Halleck
who says that Mrs William s. is Of a
bright and happy disposition, a most In
terta ming conyersationalist. and withal
extremely apt at repartee,'
The last Tasmanian man. William Lanney,
or King Billy as the whites more commonly
knew him. came Of the ruling family among
his people. He died in 1889 in his thirty
lelIlN year lHU previous year no nuu
walked proudly on the Hobart Town Re-
gatta Ground with Prince Alfred, Duke OF
Edinburgh. conscious that they alone in
that assemblage were persons Of royal
blood"
But while Lanney was the last surviving
man OF his race, he was outllved by one
woman, who died in May. 1870 With her
the native Tasmanian race became lily
extinct. and it is supposed that Mrs. s. is
the Oldest person now living who In any
degree represents these aborignes.
One Of the chief reasons why the Tas-
manians excited 30 much interest was that
scientific men came 10 believe that they
were Of great antiquity. even when COM

other respects they seemed TO represent

They seemed to have no relationship TO
the natives Of Australia, and many eminent
men Of science, including Huxley. long

boosters and China DOEs and Real Dogs
a. Emblems.

~ Emblems.
Barnard girls have always had the great
est faith in mascots, and one Of the most
important tasks OF each class as It enters
college is the selection Of some good luck
emblem.
The custom was started by the class that
entered In 1901. In some out OF the way
corner Of Europe one Of the girls discovered
a hideous little china dog that had wide
and foolish grin on his face and huge tears
rolling down his checks, One OF the ears
was folded back on his head, and the shape
Of his body was like nothing ever seen on
any living animal,
When this conoocton was exhibited In
the class study 1905 fell in love with him
on sight. s-sishtway they hailed him
a. the presiding genius, and from that time
on 'l9O5's dog as he was called for want
Of another name, was present at every class
meeting every class party aud every
athletic struggle that came along.
When the time came for 1905 10 choose a
mascot they naturally wanted to outdo the
originality Of their predecessors, and their
final choice was a gargoyle from Lincoln
from England the year before. There was
no doubt that 1905 had been ou tdone. but
the older girls accused the younger ones
Of copying, and the gargoyle never made
the hit that was expected Of him.
II remained for 1907 10 strike out In an
entirely new direction. This class came

chose q gamecock as their mascot He

named Rosey as soon as the girls had
seen him He lived with one Of the SQUAT
ters Just across the street from the college
buildings, and between classes the mem
berS Of 1907 would run over TO see how their
pet was getting on,
The moment when 1907 could be proudest
Of its mascot was in the triumphal parades
after some hard won athletic victory Two
q the tallest girls would puta pole through
the ring on Hoseys cage and carry him
proudly through the college halls az the
advance guard And Rosey nevor failed
his stanch admirers. Excited by the
shouts and singing all about him he would
lot on one iusty crow after another.
But even In adyersity Rosey was a solaoe
to bic class, for when things went the wrong
way with 1907 they could often be heard
In the class study singing a song which |
began:
His name 10 Rosey |
