One of the most frightful experiences ever ha.l by an lorouaut was that of l'rof. WalLorne Allen at l'rovideuce U. 1., on July 4'h. Allen actually dropjie.l from the clouds, a diitance of l.ituo feet, but he lives to tell the tale or the remarkable fall. His air ship. What Cheer, a t.ew baloon. proved to be a treacherous earn-r. It rose :j'0 feet, hn it was caught in a current of air g Mng directly opposite from the way ia which il had been sent out. Suddenly ttie balloon veered again and set t ff to tho north. Then, reaching an altitude of aim lit 1 OiHi feet, a current of air froru the west swept the balloon. For a moment the air ship seemed to stand still and waver, and then suddenly collapsed. It ree'ed and turned bottom up, then it. rolled around once more and betrvi to fall rapidly. The terrified spectators saw a form clamter up the ropes and toward the big letters which made the words. "What Cheer." The form was that of the youthful professor. Only for a sec- ' ond did tbe bottom stand erect. It ; rolled completely over again, and the i drag rope made a coi.pltte circuit of the air ship and was whipped atout violently. Whipping out bis kuife, Atlen made a rent in his canvas and the balloon spread out like a parachute, shot douward !:ke a disabled bird and landed in a lot. He was badly shaken up, but was not seriously injured. All In the family. The principle early embodied in tbe policy of the administration at Wash ington that "public r.flice is a family snap" hs been carried into the system of appointments with an effect quite unprecedented. The Department of the Interior alone presents a number of extraordinary ex amples of what the Luljtr ingeniously cails-a new form of nepotism." Eucour agrd by the success of the Commission- er of Tensions in securing tbe salary provided for a secretary to his daugh- ! rer. me new -oirm:sior:er or Indian -vnairs uas oaii u.s wire appointed to the corresponding position in Iiis bureau. The Superintendent of Indian Schools has dune even better. He has his wife commissioned as a special agent, so that when she travels with him ihe can not only tave her expenses paid, but draw a salary of six dollars a day besides. It is said that the Secretary of the Interior hesitated atont making this appointment," but be made it all the same. It is quite in harmony with the ethical s'andardsof the new regime. I'lil-t.

The Money is Hauled at Juhustown. It is d flijult to see how the various committees who have constituted them selves fcrepeis ard defenders of the Johnstown relief funds contributed bv a generous public can rejrard their work up to this lime wi'h any degree of sat isfaction. With few exceptions the method of one these bodies Is the method of all. They have sent explor ing or junketirff subcommittees to Jahnstown. ostensibly to discover the most pressing Deeds of the eiifferers, n reality, it appears, to fu'nish pretexts f.ir furttier delay in rte.iverinjj over to the destitute inhabitants of the Cone- miuh A'alley the moi;ey th3t is theirs ry risilit. Of all these volunteer visitors trie only one who seems to nave i thor U4hly apprecia'ed the dreadful I condition of Johnstown's ppople is M-uor N ionan, i he kind hearted M'vor tf S.. Louis, who under the 11. lluer.ee of an irresisttiole impulse of kindly gpner- ositv. cave out me money iu his roses- i s:on rierht and left among the impover- ished fl ) -d sufferers, ceasing not until bis suuply of csu was entirely exhaust- ed. It appears to be very hard to make these voluuteer committees, composed iu general either of inflated rffieiais. drunk with power, or of substantial men of affairs, with little tbouirhi for i the matter except, perhaps, that here is a great sum of money to be preserved from indiscriminate bands it appears to be very bard, we repeat, to make these committees understand that they ate not and ought not to be responsible for the distribution of a charity fund not giTen to them, not intrusted to them as almoners, tut specifl "ally in tended, every collar of it, for the people who sustained such fearful losses at Johnstown and its suburbs. Certainly, if the people could have known that their generous offerings would have been withheld as they have been by these committees not one dollar would ever have been sent to them. The money would have gone direct to John stown, where it lelongs. This is not a question of confluence in Governors, or Mayors, or any other j individuals, no matter how exalted their I temporary station. It is simply a question of -getting the money sub- scribed bv the people to relieve dire dis- tress at Johnstown into the hands and the pockets of the inhabitants of that ! desolated section. The custodians of ; the Ilelief Funds all over the country, amounting to millions of dollars in the j aggregate, do not and cannot know what is required by the stricken com munity. The largess of the people should be distrit-uted by men who live in and are identified with the great ousmess interests of the Conemaueh Valley. Send every dollar of the money on to the Johnstown Finance Commit tee at once ! J'hibi. lUcord. Concniaugli Disaster and Insanity Dr. William A. Hammond expects that many cases ot insanity will result from the JohnstowQ flood. To a Wash ington 1'ost reporter he said the other day : iu the few years immediately following the Frcncti revolution there was more insanity iu France than has ever been known before or since in tbe history of the world. All such periods of great excitement produces insanity in two ways. IVopla become insane at j the time of tbe excitement because of j the mental straiu, and then, after it is j all ever, tbe reaction also causes insaui i ty. There has already been some m i faniiy in Jjhnstown aud there will be : more. During the period of great ex citement there is preatly increased wjrk for the brain. That calls the blood to the brain to enable those m?n tal operations to go on. If that call for more blood to (he brain continues for ten days or five days, even for less time, the habit is formed. After the ciisis is over the intense woik of the brain ceases, bir. the tl jw of the blood to tbe brain does not cease. The brain is clogged with it aud the mental dis turbance follows as a matter of course. If people who have been subjected to such a strain could follow it with some milder excitement, such as travel would afford, tbe danger would be lessened, but I suppose with tbe Jobustown people that is impossible." Tiie Xew York World is very neaily correct when it says: One-ha'.f oi tbe self proclaimed Irish patriots are appar ently engaged in branding the othej half as British spies and traitors. O'Donovan Iiossa. while begging money to buy dynamite, is found with tbe money of Spy McDermott in his possession, and in retaliation against the man who had exposed him threatens to prove him a British spy." Such men as Uossa and the Chicago adher ents of the Clansna Gael are enemies to the cause of Irish freedom, whatever their professions. It is one of the standing declarations of tbe IJrltish tories that tbe Irish are incapable of self-government and that to grant them tbe measure of home rule which they desire would be to inaugurate anarchy. The dynamiters and other assassins who d:sgrace the Irish name and arouse the opposition of civilization weaken the caaae which thev pretend to have ai neart and assist the tories to out their restrictive plans. It is a pity that Ireland ever gave birth tj such un worthy eons. He has Something to Learn. "We demand the redaction of letter postage to one cent an ounce." said the Kepublican party in its last National Convention. That was clap trap, of course. Everybody knows that the postal departments no tself-sustaining under the present rates of postage, and that the wiser plan weuld be to improve tbe service rather than reduce the rates. That was the Democratic plan, and it has been endorsed by Mr Wanamaker. Hut Wanamaker is not a politician. If he were, be would not have an" nouced last week that he was opposed to penny postage. He would have loudly advocated cheap rates and would at the same time have taken care to pee that the pitsent rates were not dis turbed. That is a Republican trick that Wanamaker hasn't yet learned Better than I'enitentiaries. "There is not a penitentiary in Dela ware," said (iovernor Iliggs, of that State. 'If a mau beats his wife, or sets hre to a neighbor's barn, or breaks into a house, he isn't shut up with a lot of other criminals, with full time and op portunity to learn all their tricks of deviltry that be did not know before As a preventative of crime the whipping post has a much greaUr terror than a term in the penitentiary, and I have never known of a man that came back for a second dose. He simply leaves the State. He seeks another home and you may rest assured that if he stays in Delaware be lives a very quiet life To be sure it is a relic of barbarism, but it is our way."

A grand hunt is proposed by some or the anxious ones. In McKeeeport on Friday, as a family living near Burkholder's quarry were at dinner, a 200-pouDd stone which bad come through the roof and upper floor smashed through tbe dinner table and into the cel lar with havoc to the cblnaware and f ornls ture.

It is to be presumed that a London pa per has made its computation with accuracy when it says that all the people now living In the world, or about 1, 400. 000, 000, could find standing room within the limits of a field ten miles square, and. by the aid of a telephone, could be addressed by a single speaker.
