THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.

SOME INTERESTING INCIDENTS. A pretty, pale little woman told part of her sad story as she nervously clasped and unclasped her hands and cried in a quiet, heartbreaking way. Years ago in the Virginia Valley, somewhere near Winchester, she met and loved a hard working, intelligent eneineer named Fenn. They were married some eight years ago and cime to Johnstown, where they had a neat, comfoitable home. Fenn made good wages their several children were always well clad, and the mother lived witii her life concentrated upon them. On the afternoon of the flood Fenn went to the butcher's and passed out of this short history into the waters. When the flood came into the Fenn house the mother gathered her children in the parlor and told the-a not to be afraid, as God was there and would guard them. Up came the torrent and they went to the. second floor, and again the little mother talked of hope and bade them be of good cheer, for apa would come soon in a boat and take them away. Up and up rose the water, and now the family were forced to the top story. The rooms were very low, and the heads of the mother and children were beating against the ceiling. "Mamma," said the eldest chiid,a girl, "would it not be better to go outside and die in the open air?" "Yes, dear," said the mother, "we'll make a raft and all go down together."

She fought her own and her children's way to the window and opened it. She caught a piece of plank and on it put the eldest child, with a hearty kiss and a "God bless you." Then she let it float away in the darkness and the roar of the waves. Six times were these frail barks freighted with precious cargoes and argosies of pious trust. The children were frightened, but obedience was part of their creed, and they made but little protest. Now came the turn of the last child, Bessie, the four-year-old. One can fancy what it meant. The last and dearest. There was scarcely breathing space in the room now, and if haste was not used death would come there at once. To a broad plank Bessie was fastened securely, and was blessed as had been the others. "I loved them all, oh, I loved' them all," said the mother, "but I had two kisses from Bessie, for she was Tom's favorite and was such a good child. She put her arms about my neck and said, 'You know you said God would take care of me always, mamma. Will He take care of me now?' I told her He would and she need not fear, and then she was carried away. 'I am not afraid, mamma, she called out,' and I heard her, although I could not see her, and that's all, except that the roof was torn off and I floated off on it, and some Italian saved me at Kernvilie, sixteen miles from here." "And the children, did they all escape?" "We nave found two of them, dead, Bessie and George, and there is not a mark on Bessie's face, and, oh, I am so tired. They're all gone, every one, and eight of them, and I am going home to Virginia after all these years to rest and try to think."

This is only one mother of the hundied i, only one of the multitude.

Rev. J. A. Ranney, who passed through the Johnstown horror and came west after a search of four days and nights for the remains of his aged wife, who was lost, gave the following graphic account of his experience: "At Conemaugh, two miles east of Johnstown, and thirty-five miles west of Altoona, three trains of passenger cars, some day, parlor and Pullman coachcs, and a number of freight cars loaded with coal and lime, were drawn up in solid phalanx, with huge engines in the van. The mighty torrent from the mountains had to make a short curve just before it reached this solid body of human enginery and strength. This made the approach of the torrent invisible till it was so near that little warning was possible. The blow was awful for power and suddenness. Some of the engines and cars were swept from the tracks down to destruction, while the others were crowded closer together, breaking in the sides of many of the cars. Thirteen of us, strangers to each other, drew close together, and all thought death was at hand. Frail ladies showed wonderful presence of mind and suppressed their shrieks. In the midst of the terror the sweet voice of a woman was lifted up and 'Nearer, my God, to Thee' was sung right there in the presence of death. We all joined in the song. A young man in the party said he felt his last hour bad come,and asked me to pray for him. I said to the little company: 'This young man wants me to pray for him let us all pray.' After prayer various passages of Scripture were repeated, one lady asking, 'What is that passage of Scripure about God holding the water in the hollow of his hand?' I then repeated the first verses of the forty-sixth Psalm. "It seemed as though the earth were beicg moved and the mountains carried down into the sea before our eyes. We were hemmed in for more than an hour. All who remained in this car escaped. We felt that it was a miraculous deliverance. To human app?arance eur being saved was due to a pile of floodwood being formed in our front,thus dividing the waters and protecting us. In onr

number, Miss Minnie Hamilton, of Minneapolis, displayed a., beautiful Christian spirit and courage.

On Saturday morning, from the mountain side, I looked over the field of carnage. The wildest wreck and ruin was visible everywhere. It reminded me of the view of the battle field of Resaca, jagt after the awful slaughter. On Sunday and Monday I repeatedly viewed Johnstown. I muat say that it retained beauty in its awful desolation, for far up the mountain side, away from the valley, were many beautiful homes facing the valley of death."

Happy Homes.

Here's a health to the wives and the mothers Who sit in our households to-day Who are glad when they brighten for others

The hours that go drifting awny. May their eyes keep tho light of the gladness, Their hearts hold the fullness of bliss That banishes shadows and sadness,

And what need we ask more than this? But how can this happiness be kept? What shall protect those we love, those who make a Heaven of the home, from the ravages of disease that is often worse than death, thatis,in fact, a lingering death? The question is easily answered: Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, the standard remedy for all of those peculiar diseases to which women are subject, is what must be relied on to preserve the health of wives and mothers. It prevents those diseases, and it cures them. It is a blessing to women and therefore a national blessing, because it gives health to those about whom the happiness of home renters, and the strength of a nation is in its happy homes.

There is no better excess in the world than the excess ef gratitude.—La Bruvere.

PONTIAC, MICH., Mar. 16,1887. On the 10th day of December, 1886, I came from Orion to Pontiac to visit my parents, and was taken suddenly ill. Dr. Galbreith, of this place, was called, and after making careful examination of my case, desired council, and named as councilor, Dr. McGraw, of Detroit. They met in council December 15, made a careful examination, and pronounced my disease as cancer of the liver, and stated that there was no hope for me, as it was impossible to cure me. The pain was very severe and Dr. Galbreith continued his visits, administering quieting powders. A swelling or bunch had formed upon mv right ribs almost as large as my fist, and I had given up all hopes of recovery. But having heard of Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup, I sent, February 1,1887, and bought a bottle of the Syrup from Mr. Peter Schmitz, a druggist of this piace, and took it as directed. About March 1st something broke and the swelling commenced to go down until it has almost disappeared. Up to this date I have taken two and one-half bottles of the syrup, and have so far recovered as to be able to visit my neighbors, and am truly rejoicing that I am fast being relieved of such terrible pain, and desiring to acknowledge the benefit I have received in using your Syrup, I send you this statement, hoping you will use it so that others who are afflicted may be benefited and relieved from pain as I have been.

Very truly, CIIAS. A. SPIEK, of Orion, Mich. PONTIAC, MICH., March 16, 1887. This is to certify that Mr. Charles A. Spier, my son, has made a correct statement of his case, as I have watched by his bedside during his entire illness.

LETTER FROM! VAN ANTWERP, BRAGtt & CO.

CINCINNATI, May 10, 1889.

Soon after the passage of the law to supply text books to the school trustees of Indiana by contract, the book sellers of that State were visited by the agents of second hand book sellers who attempted to purchase their stock of books at greatly reduced prices. In answer to their letters we sent a circular letter advising them not to sell their stock at less than cost, for the reason that there were as yet no other books adopted than those hitherto used, and that they would continue to have demands for all they had on hand and would need to order more, and stated our reasons for this belief: 1. That the law sets up a new and untried method of conducting business by using the township officers and county superintendents as retail and wholesale dealers in books. We do not think it possible that the business can be carried on by them so cheaply or so satisfactorily to the people of the State as it has hitherto been carried on by private enterprise. 2. If any contractor is found who is willing to furnish books under the terms and conditions of the law, he must pat them on sale in every township of the State, and the people will have no voice in the selection of their books. 3. From an intimate knowledge of the publishing business extending over fifty years, we do not see hoW boeks can be manufactured and sold at the prices named in the law. We believe that we exercise the greatest possible economy in manufacture, and that we are acquainted with all the latest methods of making durable books, at the lowest possible cost. We know of no other publisher who manufactures mor^ cheaply, and there is certainly no other who has sold bis books at a lower rate of profit. Of all these facts we have a more perfect knowledge than can be had by those not actually engaged in the manufacture of school books. We speak only for ourselves, and do not represent" the intention of any other house, but we know that others cannot afford to do what we ourselves cannot do. If it is for the interest of our competitors to contract, they may probably do so.

It has been asserted that we belong to a "school book trust," or combination. This assertion is untrue. We are not now, and never been connected with, or a party to any truit, pool, combination, syndicate, or other bind of agreement whereby the benefits of competition are or have been denied to the people of Indiana or those of any other State. The main trouble with the law is that it does not offer the slightest inducement to the contractor. The method of sale is not in accordance wi*h the laws of trade. How would a farmer like to send his produce to the city to be placed on sale with the city officials at cost or less, the proceeds of the sale to be returned to him through official channels three months after the goods should be sold?

In contracts of all kinds there must be a mutual interest. Both paities must be benefited. No one willingly contracts to sell goods on which he does not make a profit. No one willingly buys goods unless he is sure that he is getting them cheap—at the lowest possible price. When these conditions are fulfilled contracts are made. The limit

of profit is the smallest profit that any competitor is willing to accept. All persons in business must meet competition. If the profits o." the school book business were larger than those ia other kinds of business, new firms would be organized and would sell at lower prices, and the older firms would have to reduce their prices or be swept out of the field. The natural laws of trade are stronger and more lasting than laws made by men because ihey are based on the wishes and desires of all men. It will be possible to have school books furnished without profit the contractor when the farmer, the carpenter, the blacksmith, the doctor, and the editor will all furnisn their several goods or services at cost, and not until then. The prospect of a legitimate profit is the basis of all business enterprises. It has been asserted that our firm has made exorbitant profit and designing men have misrepresented the facts to create a public prejudice against us. The fact is we have made the best possible books and we have sold them at the lowest possible prices. These two facts have given our books most extenaed sales, reaching into every State in the Union and the magnitude of these sales, of which a small proportion goes to Indiana has made the business successful even at a less rate of profit than can be shown in any other line of business. We have no reason to be ashamed of our success. It has arisen from the excellence, durability and cheapness of our books. This question has been decided by hundreds of thousands of school boards, each acting independently of the others at different times and in remote places. Of the larger number of their adoptions we have no knowledge until after action is taken. We believe that the same laws will prevail in the future. Until some one oflers better books at lower prices, the people will not willingly change.

Our circulars to trustees and school officers are issued in the belief that until the practicability of the new law can be tested, it is greatly to the interest of the people of the State that no changes be made in the books now used in the schools. This opinion has been indorsed by the county boards of education, in nearly all the counties by action taken May 1, restraining teachers from making any changes of books until further notice from the board.

We have not set ourselves in opposition to the law but there is nothing in the lf.w that compels us to bid for the sale of our books under its provisions of the law and we cannot afford to bid. We have no voice in deciding who shall bid but we do know and we do not hesitate to declare that any contractor who bids for books under its conditions will assuredly make losses rather than gains. The more business he has at such rates and under such terms, the woree off he will be. There will be no combination against the law, because none would be effectual if the law were good, and none will be needed if the law is bad. The law is in process of faithful trial by sworn public officers. It must stand or fall on its own merits. Meanwhile we recommend to the people to continue to use our books until they can obtain others equally as good at lower prices, and shall recommend all dealers to keep up their supply of the Eclectic books and sell them to all who desire to purchase, and shall repeat our proposition made this year, last year and the year before, to supply at the lowest contract price to all who will agree to retail them at a reasonable advance of profit.
