The Democrat I
FRIDAY, OUTOBER 18 1889.
TIM candidates on the Democratic
icket in this county are live, active Dem
icrals and are all working earnestly for
the'Burcete of the.'party. It is the bounden
duty of ever true Democrat to work and
vote for the whole ticket, and ihus in
sure its election by a good old fashioned ,
majority. ,
Of the fifty-four Presidential postmas
ters appointed on Saturday last, just one
succeeds a predecessor whose term had 1
expired, while in thirty-three cases Demo- '■
crats were removed to mako room for Re
publican "workers." Yet we arc told
that President Harrison is a stickler for
the Civil Service Law !
TnK costliest luxury in which a nation
can indulge is onp of the modern war
ships. A century ago $300,000 was a
great price for a warship. England's
most formidable one, the Royal George,
cost less than $350,000. Now an ordinary
naval vessel costs a million and a half,
while $4,313,970 was paid for the con
struction of the Trafalgar, of the British
navy. When civilization has advanced
to that point when governments can
govern themselves without the assistance
of powder, there will be a mighty sum of
money to pass over to the cause of educa
tion, religion and better public roads.
STATISTICS prepared by the Railroad
Commissioners of lowa show that in that
State alone, with 8,000 miles of railroad,
353 brakemen were killed or injured in
1888 because of the use of the common
link-and-pin coupling and the hand-brake
on freight- cars. Experts assert that
practical safety brakes and couplers have
been invented and may be readily ob
tained ; yet many corporations continue
to disregard the appeals of humanity
in 'his matter, says the Philadelphia
Jtaord, just as they delayed the adoption
of a substitute for the death dealing
stoves and heaters in passenger trains
until compelled by law to make the
change.
A TRIP in a railroad car covering more
that five thousand miles, which does not
necessitate a single change of cars, al
though it runs over a score of different
roa is arid passes through as'many States
and Territories, and will not compel the
passengers to touch the ground during
the whole of it unless they feel disposed,
may indeed be regarded as the most re
markable railroading feat the world has
ever seen. Yet that will be one of the ex
periences wich the delegates to the Con
gress of the three Americas will experi
ence during the next forty days. All this
while these men will live and sleep as
luxuriously as they can do in the best
hotel in the land. Such an experience is
possible only in the United States.
DISPATCHES from the northwest indicate
that the cattle raisers anticipate a hard
winter for their business, owing to a
scarcity of feed and water. The dry
season has seriously affected the growth
of hay, the amount cured being compara
tively small, while owing to the same
cause great stretches of prairie have
been burned over, thus completely de
stroying such pasture as survived the
drought. The stock is already suffering,
and death from starvation will, it is ex
pected, greatly deplete the herds. This
will bring heavy loss to the ranchmen, '
who are despondent over the situation, i
Time was when to be engaged in the eat- i
tie business in the great West was to be- <
come rich" in a very few years ; but the i
changed conditions under which the busi- '■
ness is now carried on have greatly in- <
creased the risks of loss, and he may be <
considered a lucky ranchman who gets '
through a decade without meeting with 1
reverses. <
THERE appears to be a general revival
of the question of whether a theatrical
audience has a right to hiss a bad actor or
a bad play, and some newspapers show t
an inclination to come out for the afilrm- <
ativc. If any of these newspapers are of <
the opinion that a gentleman by birth or J
breeding, a gentleman in the correct t
sense of that much-abused word, would <
hiss an actor or play or anything else, it has >
perhaps an apparent excuse for its argu- 1
ment. Has any one ever met a man of '
courtesy and refinement who would con- s
sidcr himself justified in hissing an actor <■
OT play that did not please him ? Shal <
our theatre audiences pattern after such 1
men or after hoodlums ? There is another •
thing to consider. Tastes differ, and 1
what pleases one person does not always 1
give pleasure to another. If ten per cent. 1
of an audience was dissatisfied, with a 1
performance, would that ten per cent, be '
justified in spoiling the pleasure of the •
other ninety per cent. The ad vocatea of £
hissing would bo the first to cry out 1
tgainsl the outrage, if they were a part of (
the ninty per cent, so let them stop 1
preaching hoodlumism, and hold their
peace. 1

It is well that there is some kind of a
limit to publishing attacks upon people's c
aharacters and holding them up to public j
ijdirulc. In re. ling some of the assaults i
on character we have thought that too
much license is granted to newspaper
men. and, thcroforo, arc rather pleased to
note that a recent court decision draw 3 a j f
ftry proper lino of demarkation between j t
reguh r and extra editions. | J
Out in Winona, Wis., last spring, a a
OCfil paper issued an extra edition con- a
Mining reflections upon a candidato. Al- /
their- '> the extras were under the regular
uews> per heading, the court held that
inu. it h as they were .not sent to
subTr.hers at the time and with the reg
ular | npers, they were not newspapers;
therefore the suit for libel was gained,

T'.IRKK MONTHS OF TANNER.
The treasury statement for September,
says .lie Philadelphia Tims, reveals very ,
clear!y why it was necessary to get rid of
Tanner.
Of the increase in government expendi
ture-. for the quarter ending September
80ii tppears that $10,568,000 was due to
increased outlay for the Pension Bureau.
At i >ls rate the increase for pensions
alone for the fisoal year would have been
$42,000,000 and upwards, or more than
fifty per cent, more than in any former
year. In other words to the $80,000,000
expended for pensions last year would
have been added $42,000,00 more, mak
ing a total of $122,000,000.
This sum is $30,000,000 greater than is
expended for the maintenance of Ger
many's enormous standing army, sll,-
000,000 more than the annual war outlay
of Prance, and $32,000,000 more than
that of England. Four years of Tanner
at this rate would have made our pension
expenditures equal to the war expendi
tures of all three of the great powers of
Western Europe, unless some one eou'd
have been hired to hold him.
ST. JOHN'S CHURCH HELL
lteiuoTod to Haiti more to be Repaired, and
Then it Will be Put Again in Use.
The large bell that hung in the tower of
St. John's Catholic Church on Jackson
street, before the flood, and summoned
the faithful to services for the past five
years has sounded its last note in Johns
town.
It was'hauled to the B. & O. warehouse
yesterday morning and shipped to toe
McShanc Bell [Foundry, Baltimore, Md.,
where it will be recast and made ready to
do duty when the new Catholic Church
will he rebuilt.
The bell bore the following incrip'ion
on one side in raised letters :
I
: SR. JOHN G ACLBEBT'S CATHOLIC CHTTBOH, :
JOHNSTOWN, PA., 1884.
: REV. OWEN P. GALLAGHER, RBOTOB, •
On The Reverse,
McSnANE BELL FOUNDBT, i
: HENRY MCSHANK & Co.,
: BALTIMORE, MD.
1884. i
It will he remembered by many of the
survivors of the flood of May, 31, 1889,
how the fire from the Catholic church
lit up the heavens on that terrible night.
Many a poor victim who had lost both
relatives and property, aud had to take
refuge on the roof of some wrecked
building or watched the fire from
the side of some neighboring hill can re
call the lonely hours as they slowly
passed away duriag that never to be for
gotten night. When the fire reached the
church tower, and slowly began to eat
its way toward the top, it was a sight
thai was calculated to thrill a person with
awe. One by one the crosses on the
four corners of the tower toppled over
and fell to the pavement below or within'
the burning building, and each as it fell
illuminated the heavens just for a moment.
Fiually when the fire reached the tim
bers that held the bell in place, far up
near the top, which was surmounted by a
very large cross, and as the fire progressed
it could he seen to tremble and totter for
a few moments, when it suddenly crashed
down to the bottom of the tower, carry
inn the cross with it, and sending up a
shower of sparks heavenward that
caused a feeling of gloom to spread all
over the doomed city. When the bell
was dug out of the ruins it was found to
be very badly cracked on both sides, an d
could only he converted into old metal
and recast.
Dealh of Miss Sallie A. .Stroup.
In the death of Miss Salllo A. Stroup,
which occurred Friday morning thortly
after 10 o'clock, Johnstown has lost one
of its most estimable young ladies.
Among her acquaintances she was held in
the highest esteem for her true womanly
qualities and amiable disposition. She
was a prominent worker in the young
ladies' branch of the W. O. T. U., having
been Superintendent of the Flower Mis
siou, and performed her duties with
energy and ability. During the great
calamity she endeared herself to many by
her brave and gentle actions, so as to win
the unqualified estoem and regard of all
with whom she came in contact. For at
least two weeks after the flood, and ;per
kape .• leager time, she assisted at the
Bedford Street Hospital in such n way
as to bring brightness and happiness
to many a weary sufferer, nor memory
should, and no doubt will, be long kept
fresh iu the hearts of many who fre
quently noticed her on her missions of
love and mercy.
Miss Stroup was horn in this city, and
was about twenty-eight years of age. She
was a member of the United Presbyterian
Church, and illustrated in her life the
beauties of the true chr! :>n charm r.

RED CROSS FIELD HOSPITAL. I
JOHNSTOWN October 11, 180. .
2b the Editor of the Johnstown Democrat. '
There appeared an article in the issue 1
of the Philadelphia Sunday Times of
October 6th, eininating from seme pu- i
sillanimous individual whoapparently has 1
exhausted all honest ability in endevor
ing to blackmail the National as well as
the Philadelphia Red Cross Associations
by the appending article. As conimaa
'dor of the Philadelphia Branch now in
this borough, I hereby emphatically de
nounce and characterise the writer as an
unmittigated slanderer and unfit to
breathe the atmosphere of honorable and
upright people who secludes himself
through the privileges of the press and
poses as one voicing the sentiments of the
people of Johnstown, a Pharisee who
should be made to retract the scurrilous
falsehoods that arc without foundation
and ostracised from a respectable com
munity. R. S. WHARTON, M. D.
THE KHINSTOWN HOSPITAL —RESIDKMTS OB
JECT TO RELIEF MONEY BEING DIVERTED
FOR THAT INSTITUTION.
Special Telegram to the Times.
JOHNSTOWN, October 5.
Among the many pieces of bad man
agement in connection with the distribu
tion of the people's money given for the
relief of the sufferers by the flood in this
and other parts of the State, nothing is so
displeasing to the people of Johnstown as
the inclination shown to divert portions
of the money to purposes for which it was
not intended.
If the report that reaches here is true
that the sum of SIO,OOO has been given by
the Philadelphia committee for the pur
pose of continuing a hospital in charge of
members of the Philadelphia auxiliary of
the Red Cross Society at Johnstown, it
will be met with a storm of disapproval
and arouse a discussion if not a serious
scandal that will be one of the most dis
agreeable of the unpleasant chapter of
bTunders that have followed in the wake
of the great calamity.
At least four of the members of the
Philadelphia Committee are also members
of the Flood Commission, and although
they are busy.men and have not all had
the time to attend the meetings or make
themselves familiar with the situation,
some of them know just how unpopular
this hospital project is with the people of
Johnstown, and are familiar with the op
position that exists to it not only on the
part of the local physicians and the resi
dents generally, but by the charitable
agencies represented here, including the
Red Cross Society itself.
Miss Clara Barton, the President of the
National Red Cross Society, the woman
who has done more than any other indi
vidual for Johnstown and its suffering
people, is opposed to the hospital, has had
nothing to with it and will not have, and
is heartily in accord with the people of
Johnstown in their opposition to it. More
than this, Miss Barton looks upon the
scheme to establish a hospital under the
name of the Red Cross as something be
yond and outside the purpose of the or
ganization which she established and of
which she is the responsible head.
Without going into particulars, it is
sufficient to say that Miss Bartou and all
the other officers of the National Red
Cross Society at Johnstown did not ap
prove of the part taken by members of the
Philadelphia auxiliary in the work of
relief. Officers of the Red Cross say that
the only drawback they had, the only
thing they had to contend with, were the
misunderstandings and misconceptions of
the Society on the part of the people
growing out of the conduct of the young
doctors and their friends from Philadel
phia who claimed to represent the Red
Cross.
Shortly after these young doctors estab
lished a hospital in tents in a distant
secluded place to which women and girls
were taken free of charge and kept,
although the resident physicians and
officers of the Red Cross on the -ground
said there was no necessity for it, a com
mittee of citizens made certain statements
to General Hastings who immediately
telegraphed for Dr. Pancoast, the presi
dent of the Philadelphia auxiliary. Dr.
Pancoast. it is asserted, promised Gen
eial Hastings and the committee and Miss
Barton that it would be discontinued or
at least turned over to the physicians of
Johnstown, but on one pretext or another
this has been deferred until now it ap
pears an approriation has been procured
tor it that to the people here seems pre-
Sosterous. Dr. Pancoast proposed to
Lisa Barton making it the nucleus of a
memorial hospital to have her name. She
would not listen to it and said it would
be wrong to put any portion of the relief
fund to such a purnose.
PHILADELPHIA RED CROSS —AN INTERESTING
STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT WILLIAM n.
PANCOAST.
Tuesday, October 8, 1869.
To the Editor of the Times:
As I feel assured that you cannot de
sire to do injustice to one of Philadel
phia's active and noble charities, I would
ask you to publish the following, as an
answer to an anonymous, untrue and, 1
fear, malicious statement which appeared
in your Sunday edition yesterday as an
unsigned communication from Johns
town.
As President of the Philadelphia Branch
of the International Red Cross Society, I
would beg to state that its members have
worked most diligently and unselfishly
for the benefit of the suffering at Johns
town. Wo havo worked harmoniously
with Miss Barton, the President of our
National Organization, with the Presi
dent and members of the County Medical
Society and have received the enco
miums and other evidences of satisfac
tiou and gratitude from the citizons of
the valley. When we proposed closing '
our field camp on the Ist of August a pe
tition was sent to me, signed numer
ously by citizens of Johnstown, begging
me to keep the camp open and in opera
tion, as it was so necessary to them and
doing such good, useful work. Our so
ciety has spent in the valley over $39,000 '
in contributions, and of our own money. !
I have made repeated visits to super
vise our operations and almost daily re- I ,
ports linvi IK en presented to the officers,
of ours e• ty ami ihocxoi uttve mimtieO '
commanders of oui field damp, first, Dr. i
v\ illies O'Ncll who went up to repre.e nt' 1
us iinii at great inconvenience to himself,
organized the camp and stayed with it
for twe week commander ; Dr. it. 8.
Wharton, my assistant, who succeeded
him and has been in command since,
witli the exception of a week, when Dr. j
A. \V. Diddle, of Chestnut Hill, was in ,
charge, have all worked harmoniously
and courteously with Miss Barton and
the local physicians ofthecounty society. -
The camp has been managed admirably i i
and with every attention to the utmost
propriety and with gre- piaiap from rlie |
jnV ■"•■ citizen#. W Je. .tin
of the Vcllow Cross, ws attacked by two
men she found refuge, care and protec
tion in our camp, and by the exertions
and good judgment of Dr. B. 8. Wharton,
the commander, the two men were arrest
ed. I feel assured, as president, that the
Bed Cross work of the Philadelphia So
ciety has been an honor to Philadelphia,
a credit to the Rod Cross and a blessed
relief to the suffering. I have the honor
to remain very respectfully yours, etc.,
WM. H. PANCOAST, M. D., &C.,
President of the Red cross society of Phlla.

A MUSCULAR FEMALE.
A Germtwi Woman Thrown a roliceinaii
Over the Fence. "
New York Corr., of Lancaster Inquirer.
Mrs. Mary Richardson, of Jersey Ci'y,
a 300 pound German woman of forty seven
years, soundly thrashed two policemen
and a deputy sheriff wlio tried to dis
possts her yesterday. She met tliem with
a Colt's navy revolver at the door, aud
sent two shots whizzing close by their
ears. The third cap missed fire and he
fore Mrs. Richardson could shut the door
the officers were upon iter. She dropped
the revolver and led off witli a left bander
that knocked the deputy sheriff clean off
his feet. She sent one policeman to the
floor with a blow on the face, and bowled
the other up aud down the corridor in a
catch-as-oatch-can wrestling bout. She
retreated to her back yard eventually,
with the deputy sheriff after her. After
a short rough-and-tumble fight, she picked
him up in her arms and dropped liini
over the fence into a neighbor's yard.
This feat cost her her liberty, for, while
she was doing it, two policemen crept up
behind her and grabbed her wrists, aud
lina minute had handcuffs on her. Then
the three disfigured, but triumphant offi
cers, marched their captive to prison. In
court Mrs. Richardson was held for fe
onious assault.
LUXURY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL.
The Pennsylvania's New York ami Chicago
Limited Express.
New York World.
In those improvements which make
railroad travel a luxury the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has always been a
pioneer. The handsome finish and com
fort of its ordinary' cars almost render
the old drawing-room car superfluous.
Probably that is the reason the corpora
tion has added new accommodations and
attractions to its palace-car system such
as have never before been dreamed of in
the philosophy of the rail. Bath-rooms
have been added to the sleeping-cars,
with female attendants for lady passen
gers. A drawing-room car, handsomely
flitted with rockers and other easy
chairs, has been placed in the rear of the
sleepers, in which persons taking berths
can riue while their beds are being pre
pared. Barber-shops are provided for
men, aud arrangements have been made
to receive stock quotations on the day
trains. So a traveler can now have as
many conveniences and luxuries on a
Pennsylvania train as he can obtain in
his own home or hotel.

The Johnstown Daily DEMOCRAT en
tered the second year of his publication
on Tuesday of last week. Notwith
standing the usual difficulties which at
tend the introduction of a daily paper
and the trying ordeal of the flood in
which its office was extensively dam
aged and its subscribers and advertising
patrons swept into eternity, inflicting
heavy loss on the publisher, the paper
appears to ho in a prosperous and healthy
condition. Altogether Mr. Woodruff
has had a hard row to hoc the first year
and it is to be hoped that tho old adage
" A bad beginning insures a good end
ing " may bo verified in his case, that the
DEMOCRAT may continue to prosper and
more than fulfil the brightest expectation
of the publisher.
