LEBANON, Mo., Aug. 28.—It cannot be contended that the great rise in the price of wheat and consequent promise of pros- perity to the farmer is in consequence of the passage of the Dingley bill, or any other law incident to the McKinley Admin- istration. The rise in the price of wheat has been phenomenal, it is true, but it began in London and Europe before it be- gan here. It will hardly be asseried that the Dingley bill or anything else relating to the present Administration caused the rise in the price of grain in Liverpool or European markets. This is not even claimed. It was not expected that the Ding- ley bill would raise the price of wheat or farm products in any country. Prosperity came from abroad. Yet the fact that wheat and other farm products and especially food products, are higher in Europe and in other countries now than they were. be- fore the election of McKinley, or before his inauguration and before the passage of the present tariff bill, is proof positive that the rise in prices has been occasioned by things occurring outside of the United States and not within it. The failure of the wheat crop in the prin- cipal countries of the world that come into competition with the United States, as is well known, is the sole cause of the rise in the price of wheat. The fact that other wheat-producing countries, arid especially India, have suffered a failure in the wheat crop has occasioned the présent rise in the price of food products in this country to the extent, at least, that India and other wheat-producing countries have heretofore competed with our farmers in the markets of the world. $100,000,000 GAIN TO FARMERS. It Is to be hoped, and no doubt will be true, that this present rise in the price of wheat will add many millions—probably | more than a hundred m!llions—to the in- | come of the American farmers for this sea- son.

Whereas, on the other hand, the advyo- cates of the free coinage of silver have in- sisted that low prices or falling prices mean the stagnation of business, failure of en- terprises and the throwing of labor out of employment; that low prices ultimately mean the oppression of debtors, because low prices mean high money, dear money; for, speaking of prices and money relative- ly, when prices on commodities on an av- erage are low and falling it necessarily means that it takes less money from day to day to purchase commodities; that is to fay, that money, as compared to commodi- ties, is constantly rising in value, while commodities are conetantly falling. Now, however, the gold advocates seize upon the fact that there is a rise in prices, and especially in the price of our farm products, and allude to it as an indication of returning prosperity, and attribute it to the elections of last fall, the victory that McKinley won over Bryan, and the passage of the protective tariff bill. They now insist that a rise in prices is a good thing. So that the argument is now upon our side and the admission of our op- ponents weighs against them. WHAT WILL BE THE ‘EFFECT? We contend that the rise in prices ig ex- ceptional; that it has been caused by na- ture, brought about by causes over which the Legislature or the Administration have no power; that therefore, neither the gold Standard, the election of McKinley, or the passage of the tariff bill has anything to do with affecting favorably the rise in prices or the price of anything except those prices that are artificially increased in value by the protective tariff. This arti- ficial increase will last as long probably as the law increasing them remains upon the Statute book, but the rise in the prices of farm products will remain only so long as the exceptional conditions exist. That is to say, so long as there are fail- ures of crops elsewhere and we have fair crops im our country, On the other hand, the election of Mr. 3ryan and the restoration of the free coin- have increased the stood that I will not undertake to enumer- ate them, my design only being to call at- tention to the fact that we insist that prosperity must come first to the agricul- tural people of this country before it will be felt perceptibly elsewhere. The present condition proves this contention of ours. We insist also that good prices are a good thing, a good thing for the country and all of its people. This is now practi- cally admitted. THIS BOOM ONLY FOR A YEAR. The only question remaining then is, “Can we depend upon the present causes and conditions that exist throughout the world to maintain good prices, especially in this country?’ The answer to that is that we cannot ex- pect that nature will always favor us by ehortening the crops of other people for our especial benefit; that there can be noth- ing permanent in the prosperity that is now supposed to exist. Whereas, on the other hand, the prosper- ity that would result from the restoration of free coinage of silver would be the in- crease of prices in the country and the world over and the betterment of mankind generally, and that this better condition would be permanent, not accidental or ex- ceptional. Wait and see the result. How long will this stimulated condition in the price of farm products and apparent prosperity coming to this country exist? It is too early yet to predict on this sub- ject, except in so far as I have already stated, that when present conditions are reversed calamity will come. TIMES NOT YET GOOD ALL OVER. Before the gold-standard advocate boasts upon these causes or his theories of pros-' perity. as indicated by present conditions, let him wait. Let him wait to see whether all the people are employed at fair wages. At the present time such is not the case. Indeed, strikes are the rule—unemployed labor exists by the millions. our country. With labor on the other hand out of em- ployment, as now exists in this country, e8- pecially in our large cities, wait and see next winter how much money they will have to purchase the necessaries of life that will cost them so much more, owing to exceptional conditions above mentioned and see in the So that this | prosperity cannot be said to be universal in | are more likely to come to an undérstand- ing with the United States, as Senor Se- through the etreets armed as if actual war existed, »..

ONE FIRM, JOHN H. JONES & CO., NOW OWNS HALF A MIL- LION BUSHELS. _—-- a TO BREAK THE BIG STRIKE. a Arrangements Made to Operate the Mines With New Men Next Week If Possible. PITTSRURG, Pa., Aug. 28.—By the end of rext week al! the coel on the Monongaheia River will practically be in the hands of one firm, and prices will be made by the lucky possessors of the valuable mineral. There has been a steady increase in the price of coal all week, and at present run of mite. coal brings from 10 cents to 1019 cents. When: the present strike began the firm of John H. Jones & Co. saw that prices must advance, and they quietly went to work and bought coal everywhere they could at prices which now seem very cheap. They have been keeping this coal, and now practically con- trol the coal trade in this vicinily. When seen to-day, Mr. Jones refused to gay just how much coal they had, but ad- mitted that the amount was over/ 500,000 bushels. Inquiries among other coal firms developed the fact that there was very lit- tle coal outside of that held by Jones & Co., and that that firm would be able to get their own price. To-day they were asking 9% cents for run of mine and 10% for lump coal. This is an advance of 2 cents over yesterday, and it was prea cted that coal would be se. l.ng at 12 cents on Monday. Ths afternoon slack was sell ng at 10 cents by the barge load, while some coal is beng received here from West Vir- ginia, it is not for domestic purposes, and wili not aflect the proce to any extent, The first mines in the Pittsburg district to be started in the attempt to break the big coal srike will be those of the Pitts- burg and Chicago Gas Coal Co., on the Wheeling division of the B. & O. All the arrangements have been completed for putting the mines in operation, but the com- pany prefers to have the old men return and for that reason has decided to defer action for ten days. A sufficient number of men has already been engaged, but there are no accommo- dations for them at present. The company has taken steps to secure possession of its houses and dur.ng the day all the tenants were served with a legal notice to vacate within ten days. The company has leased all the available property in the vicinity to prevent the strikers camping about. the mines and President Van Eman says the men who go to work willl be given ample protection. ” Abit thirty women made a demonstra- tion at Newton this morning before day- light. They carried miniature flags, which they waved enthusiastical] as they marched up and down the road, Every now and then the women cheered and they walked quickly to keep warm. The deputies kept away from the women and the parad- ers, after marching up and down for an hour, got tired and went home. The women who were out looking for victims had to go home without finding any. Not a digger showed himself near the marching women. The few who went to work took a round- about route to the pit. De Armitt will have a hard time in hold- ing ther men at work. If the courts hold the defendants in contempt the result is problematical. They stay in camp without making demonstrations and can do but lit- tle go00d and some of the strikers say they will march tn spite of courts and deputies. Cameron Miller, district organizer of the United Mine Workers, returned to Pitts- burg to-day and announced that he had succeeded in practically closing all the mines in Mercer and Butler Counties. It appears probable that about the only ene Olga he of Pittsburg organized \la- r who will go to the St. Lous conven- tion is President Dolan, who will represent both the miners and the United Labor League. Other labor leaders whose pres- ence would be acceptable are pleading that important engagements interfere. —— -—~)-—- -—- THE FIREMEN ARE NOT IN IT. Will Not Strike, Nor Will They Come to St. Louis.

Sargent, Grand Master of the Brotherhod of Loco- Motive liremen, declares emphatically that the Brotherhood will not engage in any Sympathetic strike for the benefit of the coal miners, or any other organization, and that all the statements that he would at- end the St. Louis union conference Mon- ay are unauthorized, since he will not be there and the Brotherhood will not be rep- i ee officially at least.

HANNIBAL, Mo., Aug. 28.—John Nelson, the Ralls County double murderer, who was hanged in Palmyra about two years ago, was very fondly attached to his wife and little daughter, and up to the time of his execution he had hopes of seeing his wife and chid. He had wr.tten and éven telegraphed to her, but received no rep-y and ded on the scaffo'd without see.ng either of them. The woman is now living in St. Louis and nothing has ever been heard from herby either Sheriff Pratt or Father Ulrich, Nelson’s sp ritual adviser during his last hours. A short time before Nelson's execu- tion he had his picture taken, and requested Sheriff Pratt to gsell copies of them and turn the money over to his little gril. Sher‘ff Pratt has carried out th's request in part. He now has the proceeds of the sale of the pictures, but he fears that Mrs. Nel- son is not the proper person to trust the money with, and has asked Fr. Ulrich to assist him in getting it to the one to whom it belongs. Fr. Ulr'ch has consented to do so, and he will send the money to a priest in St. Louis, with instructions to invest it in clothing for Nelson’s daughter, provided she can be found.

They an- agency at St. Louis took the contract. After three false scents had been run to earth the Thiel operative returned to lowa City. There on March 11 he struck another lead in the purchase of a ticket to Omaha by a man who looked like Novak. This time the fug:tive’s identity was established in Omaha by photograph and description. No- vak had there bought a tcket for Van- couver over the Union Pacific in the name of Frank Alfred. This detective knew the habits of travel- ers seeking cut rates. He suspected that “Frank Alfred’’ might stop in The unused portion of the ticket couver was found office. But Novak could not be found. The detective was five weeks behind his man at Portland, and instead of being close to him was wholly at sea. Hotels, board- ing-houses, mercantile establishments, railroad and steamship ticket ¢ffices—every place where news of a transient stranger might be found was searched in detail. Novak seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. The scope of the inquiry was widened to include all the seaports from San Fran- cisco to Vancouver. All vessel crews which had gone out since February 7, the date of Novak's known arr'val in Portland. and all returning passengers who had been on the Outward passage were questioned. There was a gleam of light on the last day of March. The steamer Al-Ki had cleared from Port Townsend February 23 for Sitka, Alaska. All the officers and crew and one passenger identified the picture of Novak as that of a man who had taken passage at Port Town- send, ticketed for Juneau. The same man the Al-Ki started back, in the company of a prospector who was starting for the gold diggings. The detective wired this infor- mation to his chief and immediately took passage for the Al-Ki's return trip, to fol- low Novak into the wilds of Alaska. President McKinley Takes 2 Hand. Manager Thiel of the Detective Bureau from S8:. Louis sent to Benton County, Iowa, for requ-sition pepers, Novak had not been indicted. The Grand-jury had been too busy to take up such a hopeless case. An ind:ct- ment was returned after some delay and tine requisition papers were forwarded to Juneau by mail in April. It was then near the end of May. In the meantime the detectives had be- liam A, Smith,” who had sailed on the Al-Ki, that they were on the right track. At Juneau more information was found. Returning m-:ners related that this' man Smith wus playing the violin in a dance hall at Dawson City. That Staggered the detectives, not knowing Novak was a musician, but they were soon set right. It was so late in the season that Thiel’s agency feared that Novak could not be brought back before the close of naviga- tion. Anyhow, Dawson City was not on American soil. There might be trouble with the Canadian Government. he detective who followed Novak to Ju- neau on the Al-Ki went no farther. The Thiel agency was satisfied that the man could not get out of that country without being caught, and it wanted to take no risks of legal complications. Requisition papers on the Canadian Government were then secured from President McKinley and another man was selected to do the final work. This part of the work was deemed tick- lish, and was not forced on any. one. C, C. Perrin, attached to the Chicago office of the agency, took it. He is the man who went Into Mexico about a year ago and brought back Larrabee, the young man who was short in his accounts with Boyd, Stick- hey & Co. of Chicago to the amount of $18,000. Larrabee could not be extradited, but Perrin brought him back. This is the sort of man who put on his hat for a run inside of the Arctic circle to get Novak. Perrin left San Francisco late in June armed with all sorts of requisit'on papers. He knew that the man supposed to be Novak was somewhere n the gold coun- try. but just where he could not tell. He was prepared to stay all summer and all winter. The agency has not heard from him drectly since he reached Juneau. Enough ‘Ss known now, though, to make it certain that he was successful. Perrin's route was over the same Novak had taken. The Thiel’s agency looked up al] of the routes when the Kiondike fever was new and found that the one via Ju- neau prom.sed to be the quickest. That is the route which leads through the Ch l- koot Pass, across Alaskan lakes and down Alaskan rivers past Fort Selkir® into the a ge and to the center of the Hilond.ke eid, Novak went that way.

CHICAGO, Il., Aug. 22.—The promoters of the St. Louis Labor Convention to be helM Monday will try to use the miners’ struggle as a pretext for the !nauguration of a general strike In every trade and in- dustry throughout the land.” Col. W. P. Rend, the well-known mine owner, made the above statement to-night. He con- tinued: “An attempt. will be made to cre- ate a repetition of the Pullman strike on a far more extensive scale. Appeals in lurid language w'll go forth to the Amer!t- can workingmen, telling them that they are being enslaved by capitalistic and ju. dic'al tyranny. “With all the grandiloquence of spurious patriotism the lead'ng orators, born in Eu- rope or of European parentage, will pro- claim that they are being robbed of the precious rights and priceless liberties pur- chased by the blood and treasure of their American forefathers. To regain lost liber- tiles, to restore free speech, to rebuke des- potic judges and to save the country will be the song of socialistic spouters. They will raise the cry that labor must unite in a general sympathetic strike that will stop the amines, the mills and factories and the wheels of every industry. “A triumvirate of agitators has been formed to formulate this purpose and exe- cute this conspiracy. The workingmen of the country should be warned in advance of this dangerous plot. Who are its pro- jectors? Who are these great champions of labor’s cause? One is an extreme So- clalist; another is an industria) firebrand, and the remaining member of thig trio of sedition is a Judas and a traitor to the cause of labor. “Debs, Sovereign and Ratchford have united together in this evil design, Such a general strike as contemplated by them would be a capes al crime against the en- tire country. But the workingmen of America will net heed the evil counsels nor | follow the fatal leadership of these three , conspirators. | “When. the etrike was declared it ap- | peared the part of wisdom to settle ft as speedily as possible on some basis just to both interests. I saw Ratchford and of- fered for myself a proposal of settlement by arbitration. He positively refused the offer. On July 13 I again wrote him, re- peating the offer. H's letter of reply con- tained another emphatic refusal. In the public press, however, he has falsely pro- claimed that he desired arbitration while treating every proposal to arb:trate with either rejective or evasion, “The earnest effort during the past week put forth by the Pittsburg operators to ef- fect a settlement by arbitration failed through the unyielding obstinacy of Ratch- ford, who refused in succession five pro- posals.”’ “Everything that {fairness and justice could suggest was offered by the operators No fair-minded man in the country|\can deny this.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS, AND THEN HIS FRIENDS GAVE HIM WARNING. NARROW ESCAPE ON THE RIVER. + To Have Separated From His Friends on the Commission Men’s Ex- cursion Would Have Meant Assassination. Judge Thomas FH. Peabody of the First District Police Court has been threatenes With assassination. This is no idle talk, and Judge Peabody realizes it as well as any of the friends who have hastened to tnform him of his danger. He and his friends fully believe there is a well-defined plot afoot to murder him at tho first opportunity. He was Informed of the plot two days ago by Dr. John Rader, Cor- oner Walit's clerk. Dr. Rader was told of the plot by a prom- fment politician and city office-holder, whose mame he refuses to divulge. During a con- versation between several politicians, one of them sa!d he had been told that Judge Pea- | body's life wus in danger. “My informant was a member of the class of criminals that has sworn to take Pea- boty’s life,” said the politician, ‘Peabody has been marked for slaughter at the first opportunity. His enemies are watching him, and it was thought the time was ripe for the deed when the Judge attended the river excursion of the commission men a few nights ago. from the crowd that surrounded him, his life would not have been worth a pinch of enuff. It was a lucky thing for him that he was at all times in a crowd. However, the contemptible attack has only been pest- poned to a more favorable opportunity.” During his career on the bench of the First District Police Court Judge has gained the enmity of a number of the gnost vicious class of offenders by severity im decisione. He was accused of pander- ing to the Police Department, and his re- fusal to extend clemency in the fendants whom the police desired to run out of town added to the score laid up sy him, uring the last two weeks Judge Peabody | received anonymous letters, couched in the} most profane language. Some of these let- ters were illustrated with skull and cross-j| bones. Judge Peabody pad little or no at- tention to them at first, but in the light of later developments he has begun to think they were not altogether idle threats.

During the trial of Matt weeks ago, a great deal of bitter feeling Was manifested between Judge Peabddy and Jeff Storts, who defended Kelly. This peeling ran so high at one time that Judge eabody felt compelled to carry a gun to the bench with him. It was an open secret that Deputy Mar- Shal Peabody, the Judge's son, occupled a Seat directly behind Storts and Keily, under orders from his father to shoot at the first Overt act on the part of either.

The party left on a Colorado Midland special at 11 o’clock yesterday morning and returned last night at 10:30, sober as judges and equally uncommunicative. The picnickers boasted of the luncheon Judge Gallenhamp had spread for them in the hotel dining-room at Union. ‘“‘We had chicken,” said Mr. Studniczka, “and plenty of it. We had meats and salads, and plen- ty of everything.”’ “There were speeches, of course, Judge Gallenhamp acting as_ toastmaster.

HUNGER KILLED 2,000. Then Weyler Relented and Raised the Siege of La Esparenza, Special to the Post-Dispatch. HAVANA, Aug. 28.—A letter from Clen- fugos says. that Weyler has ordered the withdrawal of the troops which laid elege to the town of La Esparenza, Santa Clara Province. He has permitted the stores to resume the sale of food to the inhabitants. These orders came after two thousand per- sons, most of them women and children, had died of hunger. The rest of the lives to the Bishop of Havana, to Wevyler: “I forward to your Excellency the re- ports sent to me by the Cure of La Espa- renza. Were not the facts given by a min- ister of our religion I should not give cre- dence to them, as it Is difficult to conceive that such barbarities should occur in a Christian and civilized country. I protest before your excellencey against these tor- tures of hell being tInfllcted upon human beings Dy human beings. If such things continue to disgrace our name, this will not be a war but a wholesale murder.” After receiving this protest Weyler re- newed his orders of cruelty against the town, but when about 2,000 persons had per- ished the Bishop cabled to the Quéen Re- gent by way of Key West, and public opin- ion here began to turn against Weyler.

DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 28.—Jimmy Mich- ael, the Welsh wonder, went after two world’s records at the Detroit Cycle Park this afternoon. In the attempt to beat the mile record the little fellow fell short by several seconds, his time being 1:43 2-5. The pacing was done on a sextette and a quad and the pick-up was good. In the five- mile effort Michaels did better, the world’s record for a quarter mile track being re- duced to 9:1214. Two quads and two triplets were used in pacing and had the pick-ups been more accurate there. seems no doubt that the world’s record for any Style of track would have been smashed.

Peters, who occupied the whole session yesterday, continued his address, He followed the same grounds as taken by him yesterday in regard to the loss of the sealers from prospective catches, He claimed that as the United States had taken the stand during the German conven- tion that prospective damages should he awarded, that to-day the same contention by the Canadian counsels should be sup- yorted. He pointed out that the Uniced States authorities claimed prospective damages on behalf of the United States at a time when a number of American vessels seining in Fortune Bay were prevented from fishing by a mob of natives, and that an award was made in view of the fact tha a big catch was prevented by the action the assailants.

Mr. Woodall has announced his | intention of filing a cross bill and has em- ployed Judge George W. Anderson, formcr- ly the law partner of Judge Claiborne. Mrs. Woodall, 34 years old,dark and pretty, lives in a flat at 409A Finney avenue, with he r daughter, Addie, an exceptionally pretty girl of 17 years. She is Mrs. Woodall’s daugh- ter by her first husband, George Ballman, who committed suicide in Denver nearly ten years ago. “I was married to Woodall five years | ago,’’ Mrs. Woodall said, “and since then he has threatened no less than a hundred times to kill me.

They did not understand the | English language and knew less about the customs of the country. Annie's conduct of Chris’ home was all that could be desired. Besides that her charming and artiess ways incited hs ad- miration. Naturally of a loving dispos!- tion he did not try to conceal] his affection. His attent ons flattered the unsophisticated | German girl and she soon learned to love him. When he asked her to become his wife she consented. Affairs ran along smoothly for a while. The time for the wedding arrived, but Chris suggested a postponement. Annie was happy in ant cipation and trusted the man she loved. Other days were sel and Other postponementa followed. Finally her euspicions were aroused. She heard Chris had learned to love another. She went straight to him and asked him about it. He branded the rumor as false.

The change of venue was granted and the case sent to St. Charles. Mr. Woerner promptiy fixed the damages at $20,000. Miss Kaiser had letters from Chris which breathed the affection he said he had for her. Had the case come to trial, these let- ters would have been read in court.

There is one point that I wish to empnha- size particularly and that its the value of newspapers as text-books in the study of geography. It is only through them that one can keep up with the geography of the world and teachers and pupils should consult them, study their maps and thus be continually abreast of the times, particu- larly in the case of new explorations. Teachers will emphasize the value of reading the dally newspapers to their pu- pils hereafter, Text-books are often five to ten years Rehind the times, but a good newspaper !{s up to date. A notable ex- ample of the value of this practice is af- forded by the recent gold discoveries in Alaska, Text-books do not tell about It, but the newspapers have printed maps and descriptions of the regions which present the facts forcibly. When school opens next month, teachers will find out how much the children have read about current events. They will talk the subjects over in the class rooms and will continue to keep up the Interest in what is going on in the world: By these methods boys and girls will re- ceive a fundamental education which will be of value vastly greater to them in the battle of life than the mere memorizing of figures and dates and the repetition of facts which they do not understand and in which they take no interest. A Country View. From the Kennett (Mo.) Democrat. St. Louis business men have determined to use St. Louis exchange in payment of purchases made in the East and elsewhere. Heretofore New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, etc., have demanded New York exchange of St. Lou!ls merchants. There should be no reason why St. Louis bank drafts are not as good as any issued. operation, it should then itself be willing to accept the local checks of its country customers, where they are known. The same arguments will apply in this tnstance as in the demand for recognition of St. Louis’ solidity. There are country banks and country firms also pretty solid. Brady Not a Proper Man. From the Joplin (Mo.) Globe. Notwithstanding that the Post-Dispatch opposes Hugh Brady’s appointment as Election Commisstoner for St. Louls, it appears that “Hew” is not a proper man for the place and it is to be hoped Gov. Stephens will not appoint him. The Party in the City. From the Springfield (Mo.) Republican. The Post-Dispatch asks: “Does Gov.

To the Editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. - FEW days ago, Mrs. Combs of Kentucky, discerning that her husband had A trampled his marriage vows under foot, deliberately shot and. killed her rival, Mrs. Hooher, declaring that so long as a man claimed the right to kill his wife’s betrayer and the destroyer of his home, a woman was equally justified in put- ting the author of her shattered happiness out of the world. This incident has occasion- ed considerable comment and discussion, and it is certainly deserving of both. From time immemorial it has been conceded as a fact that requires no argu- ment to sustain it, that a husband could with impunity murder the man who had Stolen his wife. Nobody, however, appears to have considered the opposite and more picturesque aspects of the question until the intrepid Mrs. Combs undertook to decide them for herself. So far as my own humble opinion goes, it is in no circumstances permissable to take human life, but it would seem that if a strictly local issue is to be reached, Mrs. Combs was quite correct in her conclusions. : If a man is entitled to kill his rival, a woman ts entitled to kill hers. This, I repeat, is the logical outcome of the query. As for the justification of any such bloodthirsty act, there is absolutely none, either for one side or the other. A crime is committed and nobody ts benefited. A word may, nevertheless, be said in behalf of the woman who murders her rival, The chief part of feminine existence is centered in the home, It is there that wom- an’s principal occupations lie, while those of her husband are outside in the whirl of business or professional activity. He is always able to escape from bad quarters of an thour in the bosom of the family. All he has got to do is to pick up his hat and walk out. He can take his meals when and where he pleases, sleep at a hotel, visit to suit his fancy, and thus, with the never failing instinct of self-preservation which Is so sharply characteristic of the masculine temperament, is enabled to avold every sort of domestic jar. He can flee from unwelcome visitors, butcher’s bills and his mother-in-law. But where the wife is concerned it is another pair of shoes, no mat- ter how miserable she may be, at ‘home she must remain or run the risk of losing her reputation. Possibly she is aware that her husband is dancing attendance upon an- other woman, and that he ts heartily sick and tired of her whom he vowed to love and . cherish until death should sever the matrimonial bond. It makes no difference. She cannot trade her home duties, or seek an environment where pleasure might court for- getfulness of the little miseries. A great deal has been written about the mantal infelicities of husbands, but slight allusion has been made to the very superior advantages he enjoys as compared with those of his wife. He Is perfectly free to come and go as he likes, She is not, When, therefore, she sees her sole refuge, her kingdom, as it were, the home, boldly nvaded by a rival, and she takes the law into her own hands, she should be judged precisely by the same standard asa man would be, were the situations re- versed. I am not, by any means, putting forth a piea of extenuating circumstances for Mrs. Combs. Quite the contrary. ButI fail to see that the difference of sex has SOCIAL PROBLENS DISCUSSED ~ - A SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH SYMPOSIUM.

They traveled in com- pany as far as New York. There Nick found employment. Fred shipped on a cat- tleship for Liverpool. The vessel] reached its destination in safety. Subsequent investi- gation showed that Fred landed in England. From that point all trace of him was lost. His family never heard from him, and everyone supposed him dead. Nick did well in his new situation, but he employers’ funds and the temptation was more than he could resist. He was discov- ered, arrested, tried and ended with a two- years’ term in Sing Sing. On his release he took the name of Lindborg and drifted West. In 1879 he located in Deadwood and tried placer mining. During his residence in the Black Hills he met and formed%a partnership with a man named Ruppert. Nick was naturally uncommunicative con- cerning his past. Ruppert was equally so concerning his. The two men spent nearly e-‘ghteen months in each other's company. They prospected all over the hills, did tol- crably well, and finally resolved to aban- don mining altogether. With his savings Nick bought a farm near the preeent site of Midvale, Neb. Rupert went to Texas. For a time they corresponded. Then each dropped out of the other’s knowledge. - In the summer of 1895 they met by chance at Hot Sprngs, Ark. Both were then men of considerabie property. Nick was inter- | ested in many protitable m ning ventures and considered himself worth $50,000 or $75,- was in a position to help himself from his seven years ago what purported to be a happy marriage, a union of hearts and hands, occurred in a little village in Cedar County, Mo. The bride, in her 16th year, was cultured and beautiful, and the bride- groom was a young man of great promise, They were connected with the leading fam- ilies of the Stats and were given consider- able prominence. The name of the groom was James Huddeston and that of the bride Miss Lilllan Gentry. When the civil war broke out the young husband volun- teered ag a soldier in the Union Army and marched to the front under the banner that said: “Our Republic, one and undivisible.”’ After the birth of their first child, a sweet baby girl, the young husband and father came home for awhile on a furlough and the child-bride received him with open arms. On his return to his military service he continued to correspond affectionately with his young and lovable wife. The war being over, he was mustered out of the service with honor and promotions. He re- turned home and lived happily with his lit- tle family for several] months. Then letters from a distance seemed to worry him and he became morose and sullen. He was dis- contented and the caresses of his wife and the prattle of his little daughte influence over him, Suséenis’ he teen his baby girl, then aged 5 years, and d'sap- peared, Letters that he had neglected to destroy showed that the fascination of an- other woman was the cause of the separa- ton and that he had gone to Iowa. The young wife, unable to trace him, returned to the home of her parents, sad and almost broken-hearted. Just one year ago she communicated with a gentleman of this city, who undertook the task of hunting up the long-lost daughier. By the aid of newspapers and postmasters he traced the father and child through various States and Territories till two weeks ago he found the lady, now 36 years old, in the Indian Territory, happily settled, married and the mother of five bright children. ‘Her father’s OW He agreed to vist his old chum. and in the autumn fu/fliled his promise.

The Velled Prophet poster; announcing that on October 5, 1897, His Highness wi!! present his pageant on the streets of St. Louis, is now out, and is a delight to the eye and the artistic sense. Catching its col- Oring from the fall tints, it is a beaut ful piece of lithograph ng in seven colors, rep- resenting the Prophet gallop.ng over the clouds astnide of the fabled horse Pegasus, While behind streams his retinue bearing h.s banners and colors. At the left hand corner of the poster is the announcement that al) communications should be addressed to the mystic postoffice box No. 777. As the Prophet’s banners al- ways del.cately hint at the subject of the pageant, pubiie curiosity will be aroused n trying to decipher what may be the theme for this year as outlined by this rare bit of poster work. The fact that Prestdent McKinley will communicate with the Veiled Prophet his intention to be present in St. Louis ths fall, even before he answers the elaborately drawn invitat.on from the var.cus a:socia- t.ons of the city, will permit the Prophet to make all due preparations for the com- ing of the Chief Executive. The fall of Khyber Pass, and the uprising of the Afghan .stans m.zht, in the minds of some thoughtless people, lead to the belief that thereby the arrival spopnets might be somewhat delayed, but h's means of locomotion are so far in even the wonderful methods of the nine- teenth century that he will arrive at the exact hour. After his ball and the crown- ing of his queen, who wll rule in his place during the coming year, he will then as mysteriously take hi: departure and remain in seclusion and deep thought until October, 1898.

A Large Distribution of Heaters and Stoves Has Tended to Revolution- ize the Employment of Fuel. St. Louisans acqua'nted with the extent of the coal fam-ne in this city have ex- pressed surprise at the utter absence of complaint from the thousands of house- holders who are presumed to be under the necessity of having soft coak for cooking purposes. It is known that throughout the city the small dealers have. limited ther sales to old customers and restricted the amount to them to infinitesimal quantities. Still no- body has filed objections and the lack of distress is remarkable. “The. reason ig plain,” sa‘'d Secretary Ross of the Laclede Gas Company to a Post-Dispatch reporter. ‘“‘Househo!ders have almost quit using coal for cooking and even for heating purposes. Most persons are not aware that dur'ng the past year there has been a wonderful revolution here in the employment of fuel. People are using gas now instead of coal. “On the first of July of last year we re- duced the price of gas for heating and cook ng purposes to 80 cents. Beg.nning with the first of January last we made a rate of $1 for illuminating gas. S.nce then the dealers in gas ranges, heaters and stoves have had their hands full supply- ing the demand. “according to my estimates, within the last six months nearly 4,000 gas ranges have been sold to the people. We know, be- cause every one must be fitted to the gas- ord is kept in that way. The dealers have installment plan at that everybody felt they could buy with- out pinching themselves. “Gas is clean and safe. In time I appre- hend it will almost entirely displace soft coal as the fuel of the people. The bur- den of buying coal already falls upon the big consumer. The Laclede Gas Company is an enormous purchaser. Fortunately our Col. Deems has not yet recovered from the effort of making 6,000 explanations to 6,000 angry women. “FIFTY GIRLS QUIT WORK” City Shoe Factory. When the whistle blew for work yester- day morning at the Mound City Shoe Co.'s factory at Nineteenth and Olive streets, Supt. Mann called the hands together and said he wished to make a few remarks. Then he said that the company had re- cently spent so much money for new ma- chinery and improvements that a cut of .10 per cent in all salaries Was made neces- $a ry. He told all those who didn’t like the cut they could quit if they wanted to, and fifty girls walked out of the building. wages earned by the girls ranged from $1 to $11 a week. Attention!

Sheriff Trol! wil), of course, be in nominal control of -he urrangements, but Capt. Huebler will supertintend work. Deputies Langford and Boawcock will be his chief assistants There are eighteen large new blackboards of the finest material, 10.00 unused tickets, a similar number of used tickets, several hundred tallv sheets, used and unused, and several thousand programmes of the Fair Grounds races, together with form sheets, boxes of chalk, etc., doomed to go up in amoke. The site selected for the cremation is the vacant lot directly opposite the Four Courts on Clark avenue, about 100 feet east of Twelfth street, next to Eber’s saloon. The lot is covered with high weeds and is inclosed by a high board fence, shutting out a view of the interior from Clark avenue. A fine view of the conflagration can be had from the windows of the Court of Criminal Correction and the Sheriff's office, which overlook it. At 10 o’clock Wednesday morning the hour for opening court, the paraphernalia will be carted from the Sheriff's store-room in the Four Courts to the vacant lot. The blackboards wil) be reduced to kindling wood. The more inflammable articles. such as the form sheets, programmes, tickets, etc., will be piled in a heap on the ground. The splintered blackboards will be placed on top of this, and the whole pile copiously eprinkled with gasoline to insure its speedy een. Capt. Huebler will touch it Then the assembled multitude will yell: “They're off!’’ Although Capt. Huebler and Sher!ff Trol) have signified their intention of carrying out the order of Judge Withrow. it Is evi- dent that they are not very cheerfu! about complying with the order. The owners may sue the Sheriff on his official bond for damages for the destruction of the property, and, if a higher court should de- cide that Judge Withrow was in error, Sheriff Troll would be tn a very unpleasant sition. If he refuses to obey the court’s nstructions, he will be cited to answer for contempt of court. GOOD FOLKS IN BAD LANDS. Sunday-School Delegates See Strange Things at Night. Friday night’s elumm'ng tour through the “Bad Lands,” participated in by delegates to the State Sunday-school Convention. was a memorable event in the lives of many of the Christian workers. There were men and women in the dele- gation, gray and wrinkled, who perhaps had heard, but had never seen the glaring evi- dences of fallen and dissolute humanity as they beheld it on Chestnut street that night. One of the subjects so earnestly dis- cussed in the Convention during its four days’ session in Pilgrim Congregational (hurch last week was what could be done to redeem fallen men and women. Earnest old men and old women, young men and young women, who knew nothing of the shameleesness that abounds in the ecarlet quarter of a great city, wanted to @ee if indeed the half they had heard or read could be trua Rev. M. B. Gott of the Union Mission volunteered to pilot the good delegates through the purlieus of the “Bad Lands,”’ and they saw more than they had ever heard of. It was after 10 o'clock when the delegates fead by Rev. Mr. Gott came to a stop at Jefferson avenue and Chestnut. The street Was never in joli.er mood or crowded with a throng of gayer revelers. Overy house was brill antly lighted, the women were in evening dress and vied with the men in making the wine rooms resound with mirth to the click of glasses sparkling with liquor. So many strange faces, so many genteel] men and women, each with B ble or hymn- book in hand, had never been seen in that locality before. The most hardened of ‘the besotted denizens paused to listen when the Visitors began to sing a song of saving Krace, and but few failed to bow their heads when prayers were offered for the Denighted and reckless revelers. On down Chestnut street the band of Christ an workers proceeded, stopping every few blocks to sing hymns and pray for the denizens. Then they went through Hop Alley, where vice in {ts rawest and most fMagrant form gaped before their wondering eyes. MARRIAGE LICENSES. Pure 18k wedding rings. Our prices the Jlowest. Ek.

W. cor. Broadway and Pine street | TWO STRIKING INC CHINESE GAMBLERS ESCAPED PUNISHMENT BECAUSE OF A BINDING OATH. JUDGE MURPHY WAS PUZZLED. “Is there a chicken In court?” This question from Judge Murphy on the bench of the Court of Criminal Correction amazed the spectators and set the court officers to wondering what would happen next- Yesterday was Chinese Day in Judge Mur- phy’s court. About fifteen Chinamen at- |tended the trial of Charley Wong, charged with maintaining a lottery. Ah Sam was there as prosecuting wit- ness. Indications pointed to the conviction of Charley Wong. “Hold up your hands and be eworn,”” said Clerk Zepp, mechanically. Up went fif- teen Mongolian hands. “We object,” exclaimed Attorney Simon Bass, representing the defendant “State your objection,” said Judge Mur-| phy. . Then Attorney Bass challenged the oath of Ah Sam. declaring him to be a Confu- clan and. therefore, not bound by -the Christian form of oath. “I go Conlegational Sunday School, all samee,”’ interposed Ah Sam. Attorney Bass introduced Jim Wong, who exercises a supervision over his country- men, especially in spiritual matters. Jim was positive that Ah Sam was not a Chris- tian Chinaman. Judge Murphy questioned Ah Sam. The result was a p-geon-English statement to the effect that Ah Sam had one religion for China and another for America. The most binding oath he knew was the ‘“‘chick- en oath.”’ “What is that?” asked Judge Murphy. Ah Sam explained that tn order to swear him properly a live chicken should be placed before h'm. The chicken is behead- ed. Then the deponent swears that if he tells an untruth he hopes he may die as suddenly as the chicken. When Judge Murphy heard this he said to Prosecuting Attorney Mulvihill: “Is there a chicken in court?” “No, Your Honor.” “Then'll I will adjourn court fifteen min- utes to allow time to get a chicken. Just as Judge Murphy descended from the bench for the fifteen minutes’ recess, he learned that another requisite of the oath was to have the chicken service solemnized in a graveyard. : That was too much for him. He could, send out for a chicken, but not for a ceme- tery. “TIT w'll dismiss the case,’’ said Prosecut- ing Attorney Mulvihill, “because Ah Sam swore to the information upon which the warrant was based.” The chicken ceremony is only one of sev- eral forms of oath in vogue in China. Each religious sect has a different form. The burning joss st'ck is one of the most popu- lar. It is largely used in the courts ra, California. | po.ntment.’ DENTS IN. COURT. THE IRON JUDGE DROPPED INTO PROFANITY WHEN THE LAW WAS MENTIONED. POOL-ROOM CASES CONTINUED. “Law! Don’t you know that there is a power in this city greater than the law, and that it doesn’t give a damn for the law?” Judge Murphy said this in strident tones because Attorney Charles Noland said that his clients were entitled by law to a speedy trial. Mr. Noland’s cHents were several per- eons arrested in the raid on the pool rooms. Attorneys Harvey and Krum _ had asked for a continuance for one week, Mr. No- land had objected and urged the legal right of his clients to a speedy trial. Judge Murphy’s vigorous language made Mr. Noland smile. He thought it pgesaged another victory for his clients. He quit sm ling a few minutes later, for the Judge, after hearing brief arguments, continued the cases until next Saturday. “T interfret Judge Murphy's remarks [to mean that the police will continue [o raid the down town pool-rooms regardless of anv decision that the courts may render, ead Attorney Noland to a Post-Dispatch reporter, The docket for to-morrow morning con- tains the names of another lot of pool-room defendants. There will also be argument before Judge Withrow of the Criminal Court to-morrow in vacation on the pending application of Attorney Noland for a writ of seizure against the Fair Grounds poo! sellers, the purpose of the writ being to cause the de- struction of the Fair Grounds fixtures un- der the same law as applied to the down town pool-rooms., Judge Murphy has explained that he cut his contemp’ated thirty-day vacation short because Judge Valiiant had sa‘d he would appoint S. 8. Bass as provisiona. judge. Mr. Bass had agreed not to cla‘m the sal- ary for the t*me he served as judge. Judge Murphy was angry when he heard that Judge Estes had been appointed, and when he returned he said Judge Valliant broke faith wth him. Judge Valliant was asked for a statement and said: “This is just what occurred: Early last week Judge Murphy came to me and said that he was going away and that the duty ‘of appointing some one to fill his place in his absence would devolve on me; that he was solic'tous that some one should be ap- po'nted who woud not draw hs salary, and he mentioned the name of a gentle- man who. he said, would serve on those terms. “T said that if a gentleman equally well qualified and equally as agreeable to him, and who at the same time was of the same political party as myself, could be found, such an appo.ntment would be more becom- ing in me tte then mentioned Mr. Bass, and I immediately sa‘d that there was no one in my opinion better fitted to fill the office as Judge of the Court of Crim:nal Correction tran Mr. Bass, and none whom | it would give me more pleasure to appoint. “Judge Murphy then said that Mr. Bass had been attorney for some pool-roocm men and that obj*-cton might bc made to him on that account, but I replied that tre fact that Mr. Bass had in the past been attor- ney in a certain class of cases did not dis- qualify him as Judge. “Judge Murphy then left me, doubtless with the expectation, as it was also my ex- pectation, that Mr. Bass would be ap- po-nted. “While Judge Murphy had a right to ex- pect from what I said to him that Mr. Bass would be appointed, and I also expected it, vet I made no promise to do so, and when the’ circumstances changed I had no doubt that it was my duty to make a different ap- ’ eeeK,, 4 4 OF GEN. STEVEN KEARNEY OF MEXICAN WAR FAME. Mrs. Louisa Kearney Mason, wife of At- torney William J. Mason of 2837 Locus? street, died Friday at the home of a married daughter in New York City. In post-bellum days Mrs. Mason was a noted society belle. Her father was Gen. Steven Kearney, the Mexican war hero. Her mother was one of the Radfords of Virginia. Gen. Kearney was the man who befriended Gen. Grant in the clouded days of his early army life. Later, when Grant was President, he had an opportunity to show his gratiiude. During the c.vil war the General’s son was suspected of sympathy for the South. His widow’s pen- sion was promptly cut off. She was too proud to even inquire the reason or ask for its restoration. Mr. Mason, her son-in-law, while in Washington, called on the Presi- fent and referred to the pension matter. Gen. Grant put on his hat and walked with Mr. Mason to the pension office, had the records looked up, and ordered Mrs. Kear- ney’s pension restored and back pay for- warded without delay. Mrs. Kearney is still living. Mrs. Mason’s husband was for years a prominent attorney. His wife bore him four ch‘ildren—Kearney Mason, who conducts an agency for the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. in Texas, and three daughters, one of whom is married and resides in New York. MRS. WM. F. MASON, A DAUGHTER | — —_— TWO NOTABLE ST. LOUIS WOMEN DEAD | MRS. CATHERINE ADAMI WAS THE HEROINE OF THE CHOL- ERA EPIDEMIC OF 1866. Old residents of St. Louis reading the an- nouncement of the death at Coulterv lle, Ill.. Thursday of Mrs. Catherine Adami, will recall her hero'c deeds during the chol- era epidemic of 1866. In the days when St. Louisans died like flies, and the town was terror-stricken, Mrs. Adami _ spent. her nights and days by the bedsides of the plague victims, who had been forsaken. by their own flesh and blood. She was born 72 years ago, and came to St. Lou's in 1842. A Catholic by faith, she was a member of St. Patr.ck’s parish for years. Her husband, Michael Adami, who survives her at the age of & years, resides in Coultepville, Ill He went to California in the gold excitement of 1849, but returned to St. Louis. A great number of descendants bear the family name—Michael Adami, traveling padsenger agent of the Cotton Belt; Victor ‘Adam'. connected with the L. M. Rumsey Manufactur'ng Co.; Philip Adami, promin- ently connected with an Eastern concern, and Mrs. J. Q. A. Nisbet, being prominent among these. Scores of grandchildren call the memory of the good old mother blessed. The bereaved husband was very prom- inent th his-day as a forwarder of coal by team, from the Illinois bluffs to St. Louis.

The trouble at Sunnyside is that malar a] fever is fast. decimating the ranks of the Italians They have not the physical con- stitutions to withstand the processes of ac- ciimation, and chills and fevers are claiming them by the score. About two years ago a large land-owner of Arkansas went to Bologna, in the vicin- ity of which the thrifty Italian farmers lived, and induced them to emigrate to Arkansas. The intention was that they would supplant the negroes on the cotton plantations. F‘rst eighty-five families ac- cepted the offer and a year later seventy- five more families joined the colony. They were sold twenty or thirty acres of land to the family. Their crops have been abun- dant; all have made money, but the har- vest of Death has terrorized the bravest of them and they say they must leave there or shortly follow their friends and relatives to the grave, The committee all had traces of fever’s siege. They are stopping with Tony Sur- cini at 5834 Shaw avenue and have inserted an advertisement in the Post-Disphtch ask- ing for offers of the amount of land needed, CITY NEWS. | Don’t Forget that you have no m6pe stairs to cHmb.

Lewin is one of the few St. Louis special:sts who have achieved an un- usual and worthy success. He makes the cure of rupture by an entirely new method of his own a specialty. Hfs treatment is painless, without danger to young or old, and does not keep the patient from his bus'- ness. He positively guarantees a cure in the most obstinate cases and makes no charges until the cure is perfected to the satisfaction of the patient. He numbers amongst his cured patients many of our prominent busi- ness and professional men, as may be seen from his advertisement in another part of this paper. They speak in the fhiighest terms of his services in their respective cases, and claim that he promises nothing he cannot perform. His practice has assumed such proportions that he has found It neces- sary to enlarge his offices, situated at south- east corner of Eighth and Olive streets, comprising waiting rooms for ladies and gentlemen, operating rooms, private office, all comfortably furnished. Dr. Lewin came to this city nearly five years ago, was born and educated in Ger- many, and graduated in leading American colleges. Dr. Lewin asks nothing for consultation or advice, and extends an invitation to all sufferers from rupture to visit him. * * ® Struck a Detective’s Son.

LOUIS LEAGUE OF DEMOCRATIC CLUBS. HE WOULD RUIN THE PARTY. —__ - Presidents of the Ward Clubs Ap- pointed as a Committee to Confer With Gov. Stephens. NM ‘In order to convince Gov. Stephens of the sincerity and earnestness of the lo- cal Democratic protest against the appo.nt- ment of Hugh J. ‘Brady as Election Com- missioner, the St.|/ Louls League of Demo- cratic clubs met Friday night at Eleventh and Franklin avenue and put the protest on record in plain, convincing and unmis- takable language.| The League is tomposed of the officers of each of the twenty-eight Democratic Ward Clubs of the city, and its action rep. resents the sentiment of the party, officially expressed. Following is the) resolution of condemna- ion: ‘‘Resolved, That the appointment of Hugh J. Brady as Election Commissioner of the City of St. Louis will be a detriment to the interests of the Democratic party of the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, and will be a slur upon the decent, law-abiding citizens of this city and State; that it will cost the Democrats of said city at least 10,000 votes in the| next election and wil] lower the Democracy of the city in the estimation of the people and pave the way for a Republican administration at Jeffer- son City after the next election.” To make assuran¢e double sure that this unanimous op.nion|should reach the Gov- ernor, the League/| adopted resolutions as follows: “Whereas, A vacancy is about to occur in the Board of Eldction Commiss oners of St. Louis, said vacancy to be filled by an Rpeslargneme of the} Governor of Missouri; and, “Whereas, The Bpard of Election Com- m ss.oners has supefvision over all e‘ections in th.s city, make all official counts of bal- lots, and decide all Questions regarding the vote of the peopiej ic is, therefore, very necessary that a Democrat who is known to be honest, competent: and trustworthy be placed In this high position of trust: and “Whereas, The St.| Lous League of Reg- ular Democratic Clubs has a membership of over 4,000 true Democrats, who are in- terested in the rn et of the ballot and de- ce mand that a man be placed in this position who will protert thei r'ghts of the common people; therefore, be it “Resolved, That the twenty-eight pres!- dents of the twenty-d4ight ward clubs of this league are hereby constituted a comenittee to call on the Governor on his return to St. Louis and advise with him whom to appoint to this position; and be it further ‘“*Resolved, That |} case the Governor should not return to} St. Louis by Sept. 1, that the chairman shall call his committee together, and it shall have the power to take any action it may deem advisable in the matter.’”’ In accordance with the requirements of the resolution the following were appointed a committee to confen with the Governor: Thomas Lever,: Mj J. Murphy, Henry Koettker. George W Fuller, Charles B. Yeager, Edward Guenther, Jacob Werner, J. Herz, I. M. Scheibe, E. H. O’Hara, Ed- ward Hogan, George O'Mara, Joseph 8. Dunwoody, John T. Tilson, W. A. Bran- ; ssilly, J. T. Appler, Hoel, R. J. McKen- zie and Verde V. H . The meeting of Democrats at which this action was taken was largely attended, harmonious in all respects and united in purpose. It was presided over by Henry W. Hoel, with Joseph Hoffman as secretary. SHIP FOR RIVER AND OCEAN. Two St. Louisans. Have Completed Plans and Received Patents. The revival of Interegt in the Mississippi River as the prime fa¢tor In the develop- ment of foreign trade and, especially, the trade with Spanish America, has kept the brains of inventors at work for many years and has reSulted in the preparation of plans which, it is claimed, will solve the oyroblem of navigating both river and ocean y the same vessel. Since the death of Andrew Lucas, his old friend and associate, John F. Cahill has not been idle nor indifferent to what Lucas begun but was not destined to com- plete. In conjunction with Ernst Moder- sitzki, an experienced seaman and inventor of St. Louis, he has become interested in new plans for improvement in the construc- tion of the hulls and keels of vessels which were patented by Mr. Modersitzki July 27, and which are thus described: When the vessel is on the ocean a series of movable Keels, located in the water-tight keel tunnels that are bullt longitudinally in the center of the ship, are lowered into position by upright steel shafts attached to the keels and running in cylinders to the main deck. To prevent strain or possibile breakage of these uprights, the lower parts, operating within the keel tunnels, are con- nected with the upper sections by means of a species of hinge joints which afford free lateral motion in the raising and low- ering of the keels. When crossing bars and in shoal waters the keels are drawn upward and safely housed within the keel tunnels by a eeries of screws operated by the ship’s engines. To obviate the entrance of any foreign sub- i stance into the openings, or slots, through which the keels pass in their descent or ascent, there is an admirable device pro- | vided, which, when the kKeels are raised, closes up these apertures automatically, the pressure of the keels opening them in like manner when they are lowered, and | water-tight joints. torne hull of the ship, unlike that of the Lucas design, is as compact and solid as any of the ocean.ships of the ordinary type, and this feature in the new river-ocean ship, together with the transverse walls on W Las manner of constructing and Li, es Fm is where it radically d f- ree from Lucas’ pan, which prov ded for yy with two separate hu.ls with one a ene between them.

SUSIE YEAGER of Rineyville, M Hardin County, Ky., now in her 90th year, was a Abraham Lincoln at the very first session he ever attendcil. I called on the old lady at her home one Gay last week and heard from her !ips geome interesting reminiscences of the very early life of the martyred President. Mrs. Yeager’s maiden name was Riney. Her father was one of the pioneers of that part of the State and Rineyvlite !s named for the family. She was much bet- ter education than the average girl of her generation, her family being one of the most prominent and wealthy in the county Her husband has been dead for many years, the family possessions scattered and in her extreme old age she is living In poverty, almost in actual want, In a miscr- able log hut—it can hardly be dignified by the name of cabin.

She has re- fused several offers of marriage, choosing to remain and support by her needle her former benefactress. They are permitted to occupy the hut by @ distant relative of Mrs. Yeager’s, but there is not a foot of ground for garden Purposes and corn bread and bacon are the Staple articles of food. The evident refinement of the occupants fe in etrange contrast with their squalid surroundings. This little hut resembles in outward appearance the patched up coal sheds or stables, commonly bullt and seen on the premises occupied by negroes. It is the remnant of an old smoke-house and is so overlaid with patches of boards, shin- @ies, barrel staves and old bits of fence, over which is daubed mud to keep out the rain, that the original logs are scarcely per- ceptible. It contains but one room, the walke of which have a thick layer of news- papers and old strips of cotton covering them, to keep out the wind and rain. The oom is 16 by 15 feet, has an old-fashioned fireplace, one window, 2 by 3 feet in size, and two low doors. In one corner ts an old- fashioned bedstead, with four high posts, @ rope mattress and an enormous feather bed, covered with a cotton quilt, pieced of pink and white cotton. A_ three-cornered cupboard is in one corner, a chest of draw- ers in another and a modern cooking stove, placed to one side of the fireplace. The floor is bare and the sunlight streams in through the chinks in the ceiling. When it rains these same chinks admit an unhealthy sup- Diy of water. In winter these two women al- most freeze to death. They are only a few hundred yards from the house of the relative who gives them the rent of the cabin, and live in a Chris- tian community, vet no one calls when either is sick, not an apple or peach ts sent them in summer, nor a vegetable or plece of beef, and they never taste milk, yet the pigs at their door are fed on it daily. When the young woman, Mary Thompson, is too ill to search for wood for fuel she and the old woman she calls Aunt Busie must shiver and stay in bed to keep warm. Their only visitors are an occasional neighbor who wants some lace crocheted or @ little sewing done and the priest who calls once a year. Mrs, Yeager is a devout Cath- olic like all her neighbors and looks for- ward to the yearly visit of her father con- fessor asa bright day in her desolate life.

She is 5 feet 5 inches in height and is of rather heavy build. She is a very in- telligent woman and reads every newspaper and book she can get. “Yes, I remember Abe Lincoln well as a little bit of a fellow,” she gaid. “It was what is now La Rue County, burt of an anc.ent pattern and make, cloth shoes was then a part of Hardin, that Abe Lin- col nand ] went to the same school. My father, Zachariah Riney, was the teacher. I can see the old school-house now,” the old lady continued with a far-away look in her eyes. “It was bullt of rough logs, as all school-houses were in those days, and mostly all of the dwelling-houses, daubed The logs were so arranged at the corners that the ends stuck out and formed three littfe recesses in which the children played at hide and seek. These places were the favorite hiding places for little Abe. The school-house had no win- dows, but one log removed the whole length of the building served for light and ventilation. The floor was a dirt one, with mud. leveled and beaten solid. The benches con- sisted of logs eplit in the middle and placed alongide the walls. ‘There was just one bench made of a plank supported by stumps. This was re- garded as a sort of luxury and the children used to fight daily for the privilege of sit- ting upon it.” “The school-house had one end of it taken ] \ | } ‘ANSSAANN up by a large fire-place which extended clear across the room. The house was situated on Knob Creek, where it joins Ro- land Fork, and Abe and his older sister walked a distance of several miles to attend school,” P The old lady laughed as her memory car~ ried her back eighty long years, and evi- dently the scenes of her childhood were vividly presented to her mind. “But you want to know about little Abe Lincoln. He was then barely 7 years old and I was 10. I remember. his big sister bringing him to school the first day. Oh, she was so fond of him. She also attended school there, and all day long, whether at lessons or at play, her careful eye was constantly watching him. She was a regu- lar little mother to him. I have seen her on rainy days, or when the roads were muddy, cafrying him in her arms like a baby to and from the school-house. “At playtime she would always insist that he play with her and the girls, telling him to keep away from the big boys, as they were likely to hurt him in their rough play. In those days quite a number of the scholars prere full-grown men. “A school session lasted the three sum- mer months, because !t was too cold to go to school in the winter. It, therefore, took a long time to acquire such an education as the county afforded. “But little Abe would not consent to be held to hie sister’s apron strings. He had a will of his own and, strangely enough, he did not seek the society of boys of his own age or thereabouts, but dally fraternized the very biggest boys in the school. They thought a great deal of him, and however rough the play, they were careful never to hurt little Abe. “He was fond of play at playtime, but young as he was, he was most diligent at hie studies during echool time and he learned to read in the first session. “The one thing I remember most about him was his unfailing good humor. I never remember to have seen him cry during the two years he attended that school. He never received a wh'pping. and in our time the child was not spolled by eparing the rod, and to go without a whipping a whole session was proof that he was an extra good boy. “In appearance he was smal! for his age, frail-looking, with straight black hair, cut close about hie neck and face in home fash- ion, with very dark skin. He wore home- spun clothes, as did all the children, and went barefooted. “He was very gentie In manner, never rough at play, tender-hearted, well-man- nered, and really more like a girl than a boy, due doubtless to his sister's compan- tonship. “Of course,” laughed Mrs. Yeager, “I did , not know then that the little chap we ail loved so well would some day be the Pres- ident or I would have taken notes of his sayings and dongs. Indeed, it !« a singular fact that I never knew until after his death that President Lincoln was the same iden- tical little Abe. “In those early days the Lincotn pronounced thelr name Linkhorn. “One thing I remember very Matinctly ts seeing him bending down saplings and rid- ing them for horses. That was his favorite amusement at playtime. “The family moved to Illinols and I never heard any more of them. “When, forty years later, I heard of the election of President Liscoin, lt never oe curred to me that he was my litte sechoodle mate of long ago.

Soon the good news from the holy book was spreading like a holy fire, and many did believe in the Lord Je- sus Christ as the only and true head of the church and turned their backs on Rome. On the 24th day of September, 1844, the vicar (chief priest) of the church of the parochy of Santo Antonio, which was ten miles from Funchal, caused the arrest of seventeen men and five women for giving up the Romish religion and becoming Prot- estants. These were cast into prison Sept. 24, 1844, and remained in the same until June 6, 1846, without a chance for trial, and the authorities, through the instigation of the pr‘ests refused to feed the prieoners, who were fed by the charity of the British Protestants living on that island. “Our pastor, wishing the welfare of his people, left forthwith for America, with his flock, arriving in New York Dec. 1, 1848, and died in the same place Jan. 10, 1849.

Thousands of dollars’ worth of pearls have been discovered. Some were taken from mussels, while others were picked up in the mud of the banks. — Last year 4,076,491 barrels of flour were handled by St. Louis|millers and dealers. To make this flour | 18,344,210 bushels of wheat were required. | Last year 6,650,578 bushels of wheat were shipped from St. Loujs. The total amount of wheat handled by St. Louls dealers was 15,018,392 bushels. Exporters say that more than 25,000,000 bushels will be handled this year, and _ that 8,000,000 bushels of it will be shipped abroad as against 2,000,000 bushels last year. They believe that St, Louls dealers will ship an additional 2,000,000 bushels abroad direct from agricultural centers. Twenty- three railroads and ten jsteamboat lines will carry the 10,000,000 bushels of wheat sent by St. Louts to Europe. |Much of it will be shipped by way of Galveston, though a per- centage of it will find its way to Atlantic ports. The advance in wheat has been most far- reaching in its effect om the price of flour. In August last year patent flour could be bought as low as $3 aj barrel. This year it went as high as % a barrel. This means dear bread. Many bakers are mak- ing smaller loaves, while others have aban- doned the custom of s@lling six loaves for % cents.

Pearls have been found in quantities, not in mussels, but In the alluvium lake beds of what are known as the ‘“‘dead” lakes in the White River basin. These pearl deposits are like nothing hitherto known in geology. The pearls found vary in size from a pea to a large acorn. J. J. Willlams of Memphis, Tenn., County Trustee of Shelby County, who bought an option on some of these pearl lands at Murphy's Lake, picked up forty-two pearls from the surface mud in three days. Murphy’s Lake, a body of water covering three square mfles, being one-quarter of a mile wide at its widest, one-sixteenth of a mile at its narrowest and two and one-half miles long, and located seven miles north- east from Bald Knob, tis the richest fleld so far reported. The natives there are wild over the discoveries and pearl fishing goes on there dally. So many pearls of value have been taken from the lake that at least twenty pearl buyers and experts are stationed at Bald Knob to buy the pearls as they are brought In. Some of the pearls have sold for as high as $250, the buyer being the well-known jeweler, C. L. Byrd & Co, of Memphis, the lowest price being $1.50, our stage driver, Lufkins, being the purchaser. Over $40 changed hands yesterday and the little town of Bald Knob had money to burn. Qe you, near the center of the big hall, is not apulpit. Betting stand? Not exactly that, either.

For half a century they have practically remained untouched, and their locations and very existence have been for- gotten. The mines at Lumpkin, Ga., were euffi- ciently productive at one time for the lo- cation of a mint there. In 1870 some $11,000 in gold was mined there. Now the attention of capitalists of a spec- ulative turn Is being directed to these min. ing properties. The Creighton mine i be- ing worked and forty tons of ore, netting $5.60 a ton, has been taken out. It is owned by A. French of Pjttsburg.

When questioied about this ! the lro- bate Judge he seemed to be giad of th chance to tei! all about ‘t, and he fairly reveled in the blood-curdiing details.

His father | his wrandfather were the There waa no sign of in any of them, They before him and Same sort of men. mania or degeneracy were ai! well balanced and weil thought of in their community. Thirteen years ago Crago married a young woman of as good Physical and mental make as himself and with as good antecedents. up They lived at Tuscarawas. After two years Willie was born. As a babe he showed no remarkable characteristics, ex- cept that he was an early speaker, learne to walk early and showed gratifying signs of becom.ng a bright and intelligent boy and man. At 5 years old he was pre- cocious and could do with books and toys what many boys three his senior could not attempt. Nothing was thought of thie, for his mother had been a school teather and gave her boy's training much attention. He 7 years old when years was about 7 he first began to develop traits of cruelty, He ruled his younger brother like a czar, and corapelled the most abject obedience. The younger ch'ldren, a brother and sister, did not complain of his dictation and the obedience he compelled. They never told their mother when he beat and pinched them. They obeyed and kept their fear to themselves, Willie seeming to hold them under a spell which they could not break. His crue! traits exhibited themselves also in his treatment of the lower animals.

The parents were heartbroken, but the child was not of discriminating age, and what to do with him was a ser'ous prob- lem. He was watched constantly after the murder of h's sister, and every effort made little sister, to make him realize the enormity of his offense. He geemed to lose much of his cruelty, but it would break out ever and anon, and the HUttle children had to be kept away from him. Time wore on without his having an op- portunity to aga'n demonstrate his instincts fully, till a few weeks ago, when another fernale child was born to the unhappy pa- | rents. lie seemed to form an intense dislike for the baby, and plainly declared his intention (to miurder her at the first opportunity, a ‘declaration he has not yet modified and | which he apparently has no intention of | changing.

Iie hid a hatchet with which to 'comm't the murder if the opportunity pre- ‘tcelf. He made no efforts to con- the aim of his life. Finally, the parents became convinced that they had an incorrigible mentally de- formed child to cea! with, and thet the or- dinary methods of parental punishment made no impression upon him. He secmed totally incapable of comprehending that his punishm nt was reasonable, or that his long- ing to murder his baby sister was a matter deserving punishment. As a last resort the parents, wearied with and fear, decided to their constant dread appeal to the State to take their child and give him the attention that it, with its institutions of reform, detention, and teach- ing, was so much better able to give than they. This was not @ecided upon until every resource at their command had been exhausted. It was unsafe to leave him alone a minute. It was not sufficient to isolate the baby, for he had gotten into his head the notion of killing a little 9-year-old deaf mute girl, with whom he was sometimes thrown into coniact. Accordingly the father came before the Probate Court here on Tuesday last, and asked that the boy be committed to the re- form school at Lancaster. The boy was brought into court for examination, Con- stable Parlin brought him into court. He was bright, and showed all the marks and characteristics of an unusually intell'gent boy. When the Judge questioned him after hearing his father’s. story on topics other than his weakness, he found him surpris- ingly well informed. When he was asked about the intention to kill his baby sister, he related his fond hopes and the plans he had laid, without reserve. He told of his sharp knife, where he had hidden it and how he could use It. He declared the murder of his little sister and the deaf mute girl to be the aims of his life. In court the restraint made him uncasy, very restless. He fought the officers desperately, and the constable had to take him out in to the park and keep him moving. To stop or sit down brought back his restlessness and passion. In the county jail here he seemed at peace for a time. Then he had to be taken out and exercised. He does not understand what remorse is, and looks wonderingly when asked if he is sorry for killing his little sister, though he ts capable of affec- tion and sorrow He is in good health and spirits, and has become greatly attached to Constable Parlin. He shows a kind and generous disposition towards elders, and wants to divide any treasures he has. Last night he offered the Sheriff’s wife some candy, and when she thanked him and re- fused was much hurt. When she persisted in refusing he became angry and threatened ‘(her direfully. : He was taken to the reformatory at Lan- caster, where the doctors and scientists will try to diagnose his case and break his awful desire te kill.

This is supposed woman and a raicer with a record. She !s the newest of new women; right up to date; fearless, dogged, desperate, At the age of 20 she rode with Bob Dalton in some of the bloodiest expeditions ever Organized in the West. How many men she had kil'ed may never be known. In the garb of a cowboy, With her short, black hair. worn pom padour, concealed be- neath a waving sombrero, she assisted three desperate men in the robbery of the bank at Pineville, Mo., Tuesday, Aug. 17, in broad daylight. While they intimated the cashier and looted the vault, Cora stood guard outside and held the horses on which they were to make their escape anto Indian Territory, She played her part well, and when the shooting commenced, none was handler with a revolver than she. Nobody knew she was a woman. Cora lives at Weir City, Kan., with her parents and her brother, Bill Hubbard. She is only 25 years old, yet she was a member of the notorious Dalton gang, and it was with a revolver bearing the name of Bob Dalton that she shot at her pursuers, held them at bay and escaped, although the horse she was riding was killed in the skirmish. A month or two before the robbery Bil] went to Pineville and obtained employ- ment with a farmer in that vicinity. He studied the local conditions carefully and then made a diagram for the use of himself and his confederates. There seems to be no doubt that he went there for the es- pecial purpose of planning a robbery. He imported the other three bandits from Kan- sas, including his sister, and their work was well done, But Bill made the fatal mistake of losing his diagram in the midst of the excite- ment, and this led to the capture of three members of the gang, himself included. While the robbery was in progress a posse of citizens was formed and they gave chase to the highwaymen. A running skirmish ensued and many shots were exchanged. Cora Hubbard’s hat was pierced by three bullets and her horse was shot and killed, yet she escaped unharmed. Several officials of the bank and other citizens continued the chase and at Southwest City, LT, they overtook and wounded White Tenni- son, one of the robbers, and captured him. On the Saturday following the robbery Bill Hubbard was arrested at Weir City, Kan., and during the day his daring sister was also taken into custody. John Sheets, the fourth robber, was cap- tured last Wednesday at Weir City, Kan. The quartette secured $556. Of this amount $301 has been recovered. Cora had buried $141 in her back yard and it was not found until last Wednesday. She had also buried her hat and the suit of clothes she wore at Pineville and the Dalton revolver with which she shot at her pursuers, The revolver is a 45-caliber Colt’s, sin- le action, six shooter, with “Bob Dalton” cut on the wood handie and nine niches (height and rather stockily built.

Ever since she was a girl she has been of a roving and reckless disposition, and what would ordinarily be called a |tuffnut, although, as far as known, she was vir- tuous.

But the girl seems to have been fascin- ated with the danger of the life she had been leading, and when her precious brother Bill, suggested to her that they rob a bank, she was right with him.

What Hop Alley was, Cocatne Alley Is, and more. . Cocaine Alley, for five years the home of irredeemable slaves of the colorless drug, lies in the heart of the Fourth Police Dis- trict. North to south, from Wash street to Franklin avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets, runs the narrow, dirty by- way. Along the west side is a row of dingv two-story houses, some brick, some frame and others a combination. On the east the tall rear fences of the Seventh street prop- erty prevent bullding, except at the en- trances of the alley, and there are a few ten- ements occupied by persons who count among their virtues freedom from the en- @laving habit of their neighbors. The “fiends’’ are white and colored, whore lives have been spent in debauchery. Occa- sionally an Italian or a Hebrew slips in to “snuff,”’ but the Instances are rare.

The old man shakes his gray head and mutters that “Nancy's gettin’ foolisher ebery day.” The woman occupies the worst quarters In the row. The single room ts dark and un- clean, and the rickety door, long unused to a latch, is held closed by barbed wire. A Wire netting does service as a screen over & small window by the door. Everything about the premises denotes want and pov- erty. Yet there is no harder working negro in the eity than old Peterson. With his whitewash pail and brush he goes forth every morning and labors hard till evening. Nancy gets his every cent and what can be spared from the grocer buys cocaine. Peterson's son, Patrolman Powers and the close associates of Nancy are authorities for the statement that she consumes $2 worth of the drug each day. All that Peter- son can make and she can get from any ‘ource, legitimate or illegitimate, buys co- caine, Without the drug she has her ‘‘mis- ery,” and is the persontfication of indolence and worthlessness. When her appetite is satisfied she goes forth and makes trouble for the police. Robbers are her favorite de- lusion. These she sees at all hours, and startles the neighborhood with her cries of Watch!" The police have responded ttme and again, but were never able to locate the bold burglar. When they came up Nancy wouid invariably say, “They've just gone.”” The officers now know her voice, and, instead of chasing imaginary thieves, they run Nancy into her own house. She has been in the alley about three years and is the acknowledged queen.

Gov. Atkinson and even those who urged inquiry into the system, are amazed at the extent and character of the cruelties reported by the special commission appoint- ed to investigate the camps. But Georgia is not alone in this matter. The convict camp system is general in the Southern States, though it is true that the practice of leasing out the convicted wretches to contractors does not prevail in all of them. Texas hires out its prisoners in the Georgia way to railroad companies, and to farmers. So does Alabama. At- tempts to escape are frequent at all camps, and fierce bloodhounds are employed to hunt down the fugitives. One of the most hor- rible features of negro slavery is thus per- petuated, often with white men for its vic- tims. In all the States where the convict camp and leasing out system prevails the pack of bloodhounds is kept always In readl- convict. Florida has made as bad a record as any State of the South in this matter of inhu- manity to its convicts. have been some improvement of late, but the deeds of the recent past in Florida's prison camps were fully as bad as those just re- ported from Georgia. The following story, written and signed by a man who a few months ago was released from one of Flor- ida’s places of punishment, presents an un- doubtedly true picture of the horrible things done and suffered in a typical Southern prison camp: To the Editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. The 3d of January, 1892, is a date I shall never forget. On that day I was removed to the headquarters of the penitentiary, near Fort White, Fla., a phosphate camp, the property at that time of E, B. Bailey, sole leseee of the State convicta. It was Sunday, just after dark, that I and six others arrived at the camp, which canssted of a few wooden shanties and one large wooden building surrounded by a stockade. The men, numbering some 4, made enough nolse to be heard half 4 mile off, and when, after donning a suit of stripes and going through the washing for- mula, we were turned into the cell, I thought I was indeed in pandemonium. The cell wae a long bullding with a wooden bench or bunk on both sides, of which there were a number of straw beds In va- rious stages of preservation. The first week or so I slept very little, until I had become comparatively itmper- vious to the vermin, with which the cell abounded. A row of bacon boxes filled with sand at intervals up the aisle served as fireplaces, and the smoke, when general cooking was going on, was almost unbear- able. The meat was generally half raw, and had to be cooked t@ make !t palatable. Each man ha4 a ring on his ankle, to which was attached a chain with a small ring at the other end. This emall ring at night was fastened to a long chain running right through the cell and made fast at each end on the outside. The diet of the sick was, for breakfast, two bieculte, hominy, fried fat bacon and coffee; for dinner, rice and tomato soup, fat meat and corn bread; for supper, clabber, t codten, put Se 3 ness to etart on the trail of the escaping, There is said to WORSE THAN SIBERIA ARE THE: -- HORRORS OF THE CONVICT CAMP. be mighty sick to be put on hospital diet, If you were sick you laid in In the morn- ing, and if the hospital steward said you had fever, well and good; but If not you were liable to get down and take a sound thrashing on your bare skin with a heavy piece of rubber belting and be sent out to work with sneering remarks as to loafing and shamming. There was a white prisoner there in 1898 who got about forty licks that way in the morning, got another thrashing before noon, and died in the-evening of a congestive chill. He was cut off the chain and carried out to a shed for the hight, and buried the next morning. There is no limit to the amount of pun. ishment that can be inflicted, and I have often seen a man get a hundred lashes for committing the greatest penitentiary crime, which js to refuse to get down to take a flogging. On such an occasion there is gen- erally a savage scene. Half a dozen big negroes soon get him down and strip him; one sits on hie head, two hold his arms and two his legs, while the sixth helps to hold any particular fractious part of his body, and then the captain gets to work, and woe betide the unfortunate fellow, No matter how tough a hide he may have that rubber belting 1s going to tear It up, and leave him so that he cannot sit down nor lie on his back to sleep for several days. I have seen men #d badly flogged that they have been kept In bed for over a week, and they must be In bad shape, in. deed, before they are allowed to do that. There was one negro there who died ia 1892, In May or June, I think, who used to get flogged about once a week for not going out to work. He suffered greatly from rheumatism, which was a disease not al- lowed at that time. The Legislature appoints a committee ev- ery two years to investigate the convict camps of the State. and, of course, for twe or three weeks before they get around eve erything is being put in apple ple ordef. The first committee I saw come around came in May, 18%, and they woke us up an hour earlier than usual to put on clean clothes. Trusties were told off to reporg anything the men complained of, as offie clals are not allowed tn the cella while the eommittee ie investigating. The old hands knew betfer than to complain, bot ebout « dozen of the green ones did make a few trivial complaints. the committee had left, est work that could be given him to do, and within two days some excuse was made to whip every one of them. There are now about thirty women In the penitentiary, two of whom are white. They wash the clothes and sometimes cook for the captains of the camps, but thelr treat- ment in other respects is the same as men's. They are kept in a aif but their food ls the same amenable to the same method of ment. Bometimes they object to then two of their trusties are to hold them down and keep out of the way so that there shall obstruction between the strap and t flesh.

PPP LF IA St. Louis Choral Symphony Society Will Hereafter Be Managed Exclusively by Ladies. The Choral Symphony Society of St. Louts is to be managed entirely by women, The women at the head of the movement are not only qualified By musical training for so important an undertaking, but they are possessed of energy, determination, and executive ability of a high order. The business men of the city have not the time at their disposal to Insure success, and they are willing to put the reins of goy- ernment into the hands of the women, The experiment is a novel one here but the indications are that it will be crowned with success, and that the ladies will give St. Louis the much and long-desired permanent orchestra. In evidence of their “hustling” qualities is the fact that of the $12,000 necessary to attain their purpose, $6,025 thave already been secured. This was the result of a preliminary meet- ing held at Mary Institute, at which Miss Edith January acted as secretary, and the subscriptions were secured by her efforts and those of Mrs. Charles C. Allen, Mrs. F. W. Biebinger, Mrs. E. R. Aloe, Mrs. John Green, Mrs. Robert McKittrick Jones, Mrs. Mary W. McKittrick and Mrs. John Schro- ers. These ladies have been most active in Soliciting, and considering the work was not begun until June, when everybody was leaving for the'r summer vacation, the re-' sults have been most gratifying. This work was taken up”by the ladies in June. Since then the committees have been appointed and their chairmen selected, The five committees, composed entirely of wom. en, are: Finance Committee—Mrs, Mary W. Me- Kittrick, chairman. Solo Committee—Mrs, John’ Green, chair- man, Press Committee—Mrs, chairman. Programme Committece—Mrs., Moore, chairman. Chairman Committee of the Whole—Mrs. Robt. McKittrick Jones. The proposal for a permanent orchestra and the practical management of the so- clety by.women received the hearty Iin- dorsement of the old board, Last year there John Schroers, Philip N. was found they brought the keenest fn- terest into the affairs of the society. This determined the members te try the experiment of giving the women more scope { with the result that the entire affairs of the society will be in the hands of women.

Mrs. McKittrick Jones was seen at her home in Westmoreland place just before she left the city, relative to the work thus far accomplished and the ultimate results of the new order of things. She said: “T think the management by women will be a success. ‘We have more time than the average business man, at least we ought to have if he is conducting his business prop- erly. I do not mean we have plenty of time, for every woman who has taken up this work is a very busy woman, No woman should have plenty of time at her disposal if she has a purpose in life and every woman should have a purpose. “While I think the management will be in the hands of women solely before another Was an auxiliary branch of women, and it .season I think the men can be a great help to the society.

We SOME MARVELOUS FACTS ABOUT ST. LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS 000 children will wake up to a reali- gation of the fact that vacation is over, and that the long school year-extend- ing way off into the next June has com- menced. To a school child that vast range of time is as difficult of comprehension as the problem of infinity. They do not strive to look that far ahead. They set up a closer goal. Only so many. days to Thanks- giving is the way they begin to figure_first. It is rather difficult to convey a correct idea of the magnitude of the public school system of St. Louis. In spite of the politics that has smirched it, the system itself re- mains sound and pure, and as good as any in the country. It costs $1,836,656.59 a year to run the public schools of St. Louis. If a man earning $100 a month should lay by one-tenth of his salary, or $10 a month for school purposes it would take him a little over 1,30 years to save enough to pay for one year’s schooling for the children of St. Louis. If he had begun saving $10 a month at the beginning of the Christian era he would still have 13,4098 years of saving ahead of him. Taking the actual cost of teaching and per scholar is but a little over $17 a year. There are three big items of expense in | ee ee —— ; ' so on, The teachers’ salary money will be di- vided, not equally, among an army number- ing 1,600—nearly all ladies and not married, Each of these pretty teachers, for all school ma’ms are pretty, has an average of forty-four children to look after for 200 school days. This means that she call all the Johnny Joneses and Mary Browns in the roll call 8,800 times in the year and all of them recite 14,080,000 names in a year. What an awful row it would make if they said them all at once! Nearly all of these pretty teachers carry their lunches to school. They do not eat much at noon, being frugal and economical persons as a rufe. Two sandwiches each and a pickle make up a fair average lunch. This would make $8,200 sandwiches a day or 640,000 sandwiches a year and 320,000 pickles. If each teacher rides to school in the morn- ing and back hoene in the evening she helps to run up quite an income for the street railway companies, Sixteen hundred teach- ers at 10 cents a day would contribute $160 a day or $32,000 a year for street car fare alone. If the children should ride and |none pay more than half fare the sum , would be something appalling. Each child incidental expenses of the school the rate! would spend $10 a year for car fare at 5 cents a day; together they would spénd $750,000 for street car rides.

At three pairs each they kicked holes through 99,503 pairs of shoes, which at a dollar and a half a pair—which is cheap—would bring the shoe bill up to $149,254.50 for the year. The girls are more numerous. At the end of last term there were 38,326 girls. A 6-cent package of gum has five slabs in it. So 5 cents’ worth will supply five girls for one day, or $883.2 for the whole lot—in round numbers $76,000 a year for chewing gum, All these children and teachers assemble in ninety-five school buildings having a total of about 1,200 rooms and 60,000 seats. The number of seats it can be seen Is somewhat less than the number of pupils because there are many who are absent from school a part of the time and many who go half a day, while others go the other half. In the last complete report there were only 3,681 out of the whole lot who attended the full 200 days, but there were 53.987 who were not tardy the days they did attend.

The court has ordered the city of New York to pay the Knibbs claimants more than $800,000. The city has appealed from the decision and the fight goes on. It may yet affect St. Louis. The city owns thirty-six steam fire en- gines, and upon every one of them is a Knibbs automatic valve. No royalty is be- ing paid on them, and they may eventually form the basis of a fawsult which will cost the city thousands of dollars, James Knibbs was born at Troy, N. Y., and was a fireman. He invented an auto- matio valve, which made it possible to turn om water without bursting the hose or damaging the engine. But he 4i@d not rec. ie Z Jd \ ® OO 900 [A OvER-A MNOSE-NOZZLIE }ognize the commercial value of his inven- tion. Others took advantage of his short- sightedness. To-day his invention is used on every fire engine in the world. It was first placed on an engine in Troy in 1860. Two years later, greatly improved, the device was tried on a new engine purchased by the city of Troy, and the results were so admirable that the fire chief advised the inventor to secure a patent, Knibbs placed the matter In the hands of Marcus P. Norton, a patent lawyer, giv- ing him $25 and a half interest tn the in- vention. A patent was granted May 24, 1864. In the meantime five engines ordered for New York City were made with the new valve: Naturally the patent lawyer brought suit. In one form or another it has been going On ever since. The claim finally amounted to over $18,009,000. The suit against New York City was hardly under way before Knibbs and Norton found themselves without funds to prosecute it. They began trading interest in the claim to raise money. Lemuel M. Tupper and Helen M. Ingalls, the latter a ward of Norton's, were sold an eighth in- terest each. The suit dragged its slow length along in the State courts until 1877, when it was transferred to the Federal courts. time Norton had secured absolute control of the claim. He agreed to pay Knibbs $10,000 In installments of 10 per cent out of the amounts recovered in various ac- tions. As nearly as can be learned Knibbs re- ceived about $2,000 tn all. When the transfer was made to the United States Circuit Court Norton was again. without money. He sought a man who was willing to invest in the claim. He found him in Christopher C. Campbell, a farmer, living in Chichester, Mass.

After this the suit against the City of New York became legally known as Christopher C. Campbell vs. the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of the City of New York. This is its title now. The suit against the big city was actively pushed. On one side was arrayed William Cc. Whitney, then Corporation Counsel, and his assistants. For the complainants Gen. Benjamin F. Butler was the chief counsel, and with him were George H. Williams, Lockwood & Post, and, of course, Mr. Nor- ton. In the meantime other sults were com. menced against various New England cit. ies—Boston, Cambridge, Haverhill, Lynn, Salem, Newburyport, Fall River, New Rea. ford, Lowell and Lawrence—which had al. ready built engines with the valve. In 1879 Norton went to Boston to live, tn order that he might better prosecute the claims against the New England cities, The first real encouragement that the claimants received was in 1880, when the City of Troy, against which suit had been brought, for 3.0. »§ dollar of this was spent for lawyers’ fees and legal expenses. ing. Later, when Judge Norton was again without funds, he went to live with Ruel Philbrook in Bowdain square. He succeeded in interesting Mr. Philbrook in the case, and he advanced a large sum of money to help it along. The case dragged along year after year in the United States Circuit Court. More money was needed. Campbell’s resources were exhausted. He threw up the case en- tirely and is now living in Boston. Then Harvey D. Hadlock, a Maine law- yer, stepped in. He saw great possibilities in the case and moved to Boston. He de- voted his life to it, and succeeded in get- ting his father-in-law, Capt. Danie] 3g. Goodell, interested; also John J. Gilley and his brother, of South Deerfield, N. H. In 1889 there was another) shortage of funds. Capt. Goodell had then contributed $36,000, Then Thomas Dalby,| & manufac. turer of Watertown, Mass., came to the rescue. In the meantime Benjamin Richardson and his brother bought out Campbell's claim, and when the former died his heirs took up the case and are still fighting it. These, with Mr. Philbrook, are now the im- < claimants. een and Mr. Philbrook removed to New York that they might be near this thing, which they had #0 ¢ fully cher- ished.

/ SUNDAY MORNING—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH—AUGUST 29, 1897, * — -EPEARY'S TRIP TO THE NORTH, ———-_~ @ &—-—-— — Interesting Talk With Him on His Return From His Former Visit to the Arctic Seas. Desteeereesoeoe Now that Lieut. Peary is off for the Pole @gain, an account of an interview held with the hardy explorer immediately after his return from his former visit to the Arctic Circle may be of interest. Licut. Peary was then seen at his moth- er’s house at Pleaeantdale, near Portland, Me. He was dressed in a suit of navy blue, his figure was stalwart and erect, his keen gray eyes seemed undimmed by the long course of alternating dazziing snow and pitchy darkness they had undergone. His face had been bronzed to a dark tinge by the polar winds. With all due deference to those who have described Lieut. Peary as “sing farmer-like in his appearance, to an observer well acquainted with mariners he looks all over what he is—a sailor. Sitting at a window that overlooked a road along which electric cars were spin- ning and which commanded a view of a tract of verdant and well settled country that smiled in the sunshine, Lieut. Peary €xpieesed the satisfaction he felt at being home again where there were lots of people and houses, and a fair allowance of day. light. It. was a delightful change, he said, after the dreadful solitude and prolonged darkness of the arctic regions. The long absence of daylight, he said, was the great- est hardship he experienced and the strong winds that often blew at the rate of sixty miles an hour formed the most serious dif- ficulty In that latitude. Contrary to general belief the snow, he said, was not so deep in the far North as it was much further to the southward. Dur- ing the winter melted snow was the only water to be had tn the Polar region, and no bad effects were produced by drinking it. There was remarkably little sickness of any kind up there, for, Lieut. Peary remarked, microbes or bacilli did not appear to have yet discovered the Polar regions. Lieut. Peary described the country sur- rounding the arctic headquarters, which were situated at about the northern IMmit of the range of the Eskimos. No trees grew there; flowers, grass and moss formed the only vegetation. Birds and hares were nu- merous, and two herds of musk oxen were found. These animals are specially equipped by nature to endure extreme cold. They are covered with coarse hair, which hangs down over their feet, and under this is soft, close wool five or six inches thick. Even when a musk ox is standing up nothing of him is to be seen but horns and hair. The musk ox is not fierce nor aggreselve, and is easily killed. If it is skinned. and cleaned immediately its meat is very: good, but if the carcass ts allowed to lie for a while the flesh becomes strongly scented with the musk from which the anima] Is named. Arctic foxes are so plentiful as to be a nuisance. The white bears are compara- tively tame, but the bull walrus is a very savage customer. These monsters of tho geal family weigh, when full grown, over a fon; their tusks are about two feet in length, and their hides are almost impen- etrable. They are extremely strong and active in the water, and when a hunter in a boat is surrounded by a herd of angry bulls he is in a mighty dangerous predicament. Lieut. Peary described several encounters he had had afloai with these tusky warriors of the Arctic seas. On each occas'on, he gaid, they tried hard to upset his boat, and would not retreat until the greater part of the herd had been shot. Lieut. Perry expressed the opinion that the polar region would become in the fu- ture a favorite place for summer exéur- sions. Hé explained that it possessed the attraction of novelty, and that access to it was easy in the months of July, August and September. He declined to gtate his ideas as to the best method of reaching the North Pole, and confessed his doubts re- Barding the existence of an open gea and temperate climate surrounding that long Bought but most elusive point, Lieut. Peary, before going into the busi- ness of pole hunting, was an officer on one of the vessels of the Marine Revenue Serv- ice. He owns Eagle Island, one of the most pictureseque islands among the three hun- dred or 60 which have made Casco Bay famous as a summer ‘resort. A companion of Peary’s in his boyhood days in Oxford County, Maine, relates an incident about him which shows that he hever was much afraid of ice or cold water. One day this friend of his shot a duck, which fell far out in a pond. It was in the early part of winter, and the water was covered with thin ice, so he decided not to go after it. On the way home he met Peary and mentioned the matter to him. Peary volunteered to retrieve the game for him, and, going to the pond, plunged into the water and broke his way through the icé to where the duck lay, and brought it to land. _~ -- ———— INVENTIONS FOR HOME AND WOMAN.

USTIN, Tex., Aug. 2.—William Lochridge of this A city was seemingly dying on Sunday. Physicians said he could live only a few hours. On the second morning after he partook of a hearty break- fast, and to-day he is well and able to attend to business. He is a traveling man, and has a wide acquaintance in the South. For four months he has been suffering with spinal paralysis. During that time his legs were utterly devoid of* feeling and useless. His cure is attributed to the power of Mrs. Ada A. Hill, 4 Christian Science healer of Peoria, Ill. About the middle of April this year he was at a hotel in Houston. Just after he had fin’shed his supper he was strick- en with paralys's and fell to the floor, unable to move or walk. He remained at the hotel for several weeks, attended by Dr. J. H. Sampson. No improvement was noticeable, and finally he was removed to his home on San Barnard street, this city. H's case was then taken in charge by Dr. J. W. McLaughlin, and for many weeks he. visited the house daily. Aug. $3 the condition of Mr. Lochridge became much worse, and ten days later he lost the powers of sight and speech. He sank rapidly, and last Sunday, Aug. 22, the physician informed Mrs. Lochridge that her husband's death was oniy a matter of a few hours, The anxious wife was seated by the bedside. With a mighty effort Mr. Lochridge motioned for a pencil and paper. They were given him, and on the paper he scratched the name of Mrs, Hill, with a request that ehe be telegraphed concerning his case. Word was immediately sent to Peoria, In reply Mrs. Hill wired that she would treat him from 6 to 7 o’clock that evening, and between the same hours the next morning. A few minutes after 6 o’clock Sunday evening the patient turned over on the bed, something he had not been able to do for months. He held up his hand to his wife and then resumed his former position. All night his faithful wife sat by the bed, watching for the faintest signs of recovery or improvement, Concerning subsequent events, Mrs. Lochridge tells the fol- lowing story: “Tuesday morning, shortly after 7 o’clock, Mr. Lochridge again turned over in his bed and held up both hands to me. I took them in mine, and, to my surprise, they felt natural, ex- cept that some parts of the skin was dry and hard, I felt of his legs. He opened his eyes. The numbness was gone and he could feel my touch. “I asked him to epeak to me and in his effort I noticed a slight gurgling sound in his throat. I still pleaded for him to say something and he motioned for a drink of water. I then said to him: “If you can drink water, you can talk — now, can’t you?” And immediately he said: “ "Why of course I can.’ “He then raised up tn bed and sat on the side, his legs to hang down, and he began to move them and to talk to me. I was almost dumfounded. You can imagine my ut- ter surprise. at see.ng him so like himself again, after we had had to carry him from his cot to his bed during the last four months.’’ Mrs Hill, to whom his recovery {fs attrt buted, was in this elty several years ago, and performed cures of a similar na- ture, and In his extremity the dying man appealed to her. Thomas Jay Hudson of Wasrhington, D. C., accounts for cures of this kind by his law of psychic phenomena, and in support of his theory he cites the case of h’‘s brcether-in-law, William H,. Little, formerly Assistant Postmaster of St. Louls. An anonymous account of this remarkable cure may be found on page 193 of Mr. Hudson's “The Law of Psychic Phe- hnomena,"’ published in 1898. The cure was effected in 1890, at a distance of more than 1,000 miles. What the law of gravitation !s to astronomy; what the atomic theory is to chemistry, Hudson's hypothesis is to psychology. This is the author's ‘laim, and, in support of this declaration, he is able to cite a hundred examples, The first cure effected was that of Mr. Little. Mr. Hudson's hypothesis is based on this discovery,which has been demonstrated beyond the possibility of a doubt. “That hypnotic subjects are constantly amenable to the power of suggestion; that suggestion is the all-potent factor in the production of all hypnotic phenomena.” “The first proposition,” Says the author, “relates to the permitting A new attachment for sewing machincs ie @ ripper to assist in cutting up cloth or seams, a sharp steel blade being clamped on the needle bar of the machine work up and down as the machine runs, . dual character of man’s mental organization.

The paralysis left me entirely, and I got up out of my bed forthwith and walked across the room, feeling as well as I ever did in my life, all in a minute and at once. heartily, and never enjoyed a meal more. my career and still feel so.

For convenience I shall designate the one as the objective mind and the other as the subjective mind. “The second proposition is that the subjective mind is constantly amenable to con- trol by suggestion. “The third, or subsidiary proposition is, that the subjective mind is incapable of inductive reasoning. Based on these propositions, Mr. Hudson has constructed a beautiful theory. Scorn- ing all other theories taken singly, he has formed of them a composite, and by this he accounts, in @ manner entirely satisfactory to himself, for all of the wonderful cures recorded from a psychological standpoint. Suggestion—suggestion from one mind to another. you are well, and you are well, “The first case,”” says Mr. Hudson in his book, “was that of a relative who had for many years been afflicted with a nervous trouble, accompanied by rheumatism of the most terrible character. That ls the whole thing. Think He was subject to the most excruciating spasms during his nervous attacks of rheumatic trouble, and was frequently brought to the verge of the grave. try and Europe, He had been under the care of many of the ablest physicians of this coun- finding only occasional temporary relief. An idea of the suffering which he endured may be imagined from the fact that one of his hips had been drawn out of joint, by which the leg had been shortened about two inches. This, however, had been partially destroyed by physical appliances before the psychic treatment began. sufferings but death. “The treatment began on the 15th of May, 1890. Two persons were informed of the prop In short, he was a hopeless invaild, with nothing to look to for relief from his osed experiment and were asked to note the time when the treatment began. They were pledged to profound secrecy and to this day the patient Is not aware that he was made the subject of an experiment in psycho-therapeutics. After the lapse of a few months one of the persons intrusted with the secret met the invalid and learned, to her surprise and delight, that he was comparatively well. When asked when he began to improve, his reply was: ‘About the middle of May.’ Since then he has been able at all times to attend to the duties of his profession—that of a journalist and magazine writer—and has had no recurrence of the old trouble. “Of course, this may have been a coincidence, and had stood as a solitary in- stance, that would have been the most rational way of accounting for it. But a hundred such coincidences do not happen in’ succession without a single break and more than a hundred experiments have been made by this procéss by myself and two other persons, and not a single failure has thus far been experienced, where the proper conditions have been observed. In two cases the patients have not been perceptibly benefited, but in both of those they were notified of the intended experi- ments and were profoundly skeptical. But these failures cannot be charged to the ac- count of this method of treatment, for the simple reason that the fundamental! princi- ple of the system was deliberately violated. That is to say, the best conditions were not observed, in that the patient was informed beforehand of what was intended. In auch cases the healer is handicapped by probable adverse ante-suggestion. “One fact of peculiar significance connected with the case of rheumatism men- tioned must not be omitted, and that is that the patient was a thousand miles dis- tant when the cure was performed. Mr. Little's account of his recovery should be of great interest. “Barly in May, 189,"" said Mr. Little, “2 started West, in the hope of obtaining at least temporary relief from rheumatism. For twenty years I had not been free from it. I had been to Hot Springs, Ark., Hot Springs, W.

Por ¥ et find. For three years I had been the manager of an afternoon newspaper, but had been at the office hardly a day during that time. I weighed only eighty pounds and when I was able to walk at all I had to use crutches. “I decided to go to Manitou Springs again. Several friends accompanied me to the old Union Depot. Among them was Geo, W. Campbell, who now lives in California, and J. B. Thomp- son, Superintendent of the Hydraulic Press Brick Co., who now lives rext door to me. My condition was such that I had to be assisted to get on the train. My crutch slipped and I fell under the wheels while the car was standing still. This incl- dent produced a nervous spasm, and my condition was so bad that the conductor wanted to put me off at Kirkwood, and would have done so had it not been for the importunities of my physician and younger sister, who was unmarried. “As the train pulled out Campbell said: ‘Well, there goes Little. I'll bet he’ll come back in a coffin.’ “Mr. Thompson wrote me about the incident later, after I had commenced to improve, and I told him to take the bet. A wager was actually made, but I fooled them all, and the money was never collected. “Por several days after reaching Manitou Springs I suffered the most excruciating pain,’’ said Mr. Little, “and finally be came unconscious. I remained that way for a week or more. All at once I recovered consciousness and felt the pain leaving me. It seemed to go in an instant and from that moment I commenced to improve. I had no more spasms. For the first time in three or four years I was wholly free from the acute pains that had racked me so many times. I could not account for it. My recovery was not immediate, understand, but as soon as the worst pains left me I commenced to get better and con- tinued to improve steadily. I was still lame and sore, after having been afflicted so many years, but I soon begun to ac- cumulate flesh and to improve in appearance. “After a few weeks I went to Glenwood Springs to take the baths theré and in July I wept to Salt Lake City. By the mid- die of Augest I felt so well that I returned to St. Louls and for the first time in several years was able toattend to business like an ordjnary citizen. The indigestion with which I had aise suffered was gone and I felt that | was completely cured. “Now, the strange thing about the case is that Mr. Hudson says he cured me, but I knew nothing about the matter until nearly three years later. At the time I went to Manitou Springs I had not seen him for eighteen months or more. I did not even know he was contemplating such a book. It was published in March or April, 1893. I bought a copy of it April 10, 1893, just before I started to Detroit. “While there I was the guest of Mr. M. J. Dee, editor of the Detroit News. Almost the first question he asked me was whether I had seen Hudson's book and the account of my cure. I told him 1 had the book, but had not read it. He showed me the account, and, although my name was not used, it was very plain that ] was the person meant—so plain that Mr. Dee had recognized the fact. He was much impressed with the occur- rence and later became an enthusiastic supporter of Hudson's theory. “But 1 was skeptical. Iam naturally a skeptic—thoroughly skeptical in all things. I had given some attention to hypno-. tism and kindred subjects, but hardly believed such a cure pos- sible. But there is this peculiarity about it: I got relief when I least expected It. At the time I attributed it to the baths, although they had never givem me relief to any extent before. It is a fact that I commenced to get better just at the time that Mr. Hudson asserts he frst began to put his theory to work on my behalf, He may have cured me, and he probably did. I would like to say yes positively, but this is a case in which there can be no direct proof. He says he cured me. I was cured. That is all I know. “Concerning the cure, I will say this: I never took a drop of medicine in my life that did me any good. I depended sololy on mineral baths. I will not say they were ‘vholly worthiess. For six years after the cure, however, I was freer from rheumatism than I had been for twenty years before.” “hf Mr. Hudson cured you before,” was asked of Mr. Little, “why\does he not do so again?” Mr. Little smiled sardonicaily. Last year he again became afflicted with rheumatism, combined with a slight attack of lung trouble, and in October his physician bundied him off to New Mexico. There he remained untill last May. The tuber- cular trouble was gone, but the rheumatism stil reinmaina, and Mr. Little was interviewed in bed, where he has been most of the time since his return. “If ' knew he could,” replied the sick man, “and he didn't try, I would feel like breaking his head.” DAM'S SKULL OF BRASS. —— —_ — ? The Famous Refic in the Church of the Hofy Sepul- cher at Jerusalem is Proven a Fraud. NE of the most ancient treasutes in that “greatest relic shrine af Christendom,” the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, in Jerusalem, has just been proved to be bogus. The skull of Adam, the first man, for many centuries has been exhibited in a natural grotto on the left slope of Mount Calvary, behind an iron raikng. Millions of people have wor- shipped before the supposed relic in the course of years, but now comes Dr. Ik Schick, architect of the new Protestant Church of Jerusalem, erected by the Ger~ man EXxynperor, and asserts in a letter te Der Schwaebischer Merkur, which is one of the foremost literary dailies of the Father- land and the official organ of the Wurtem- berg Government, that the supposed skull is no skull, either of Adam or anybody else, but an affair of brass and paint. Dr. Schick's startling discovery, more. over, is indorsed by the Greek Archiman- drite, Mgr. Epithenius, who told the doctor there never had been a real skull 6f Adam in existence within his remembrance. Whether the genuine head of Adam had existed before the present generation of Christian authorities came into office the chief of the Greek Church in Jerusalem did not know, but thought it possible that the Turks might have carried off the skull to the great Mosque of Omar, the sanctuary on Mount Olive, which is one of the most sacred places known to the Mahometan religion. That this latter surmisal is not well founded, grounded probably only on gen- eral belief which credits the Turk with all and every crime towards Christianity that one may think of, will be presently shown. Dr. Schick's report of his discovery and the circumstances that led up to it, as printed in Der Merkur, follows: “The Society of French Anthropologists,” he gays, “requested me to take measure- ments vf Adam's skull, which lies in @ niche of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, It was intended to compare the cranial capacity, facial angle, coronal diameter and nasal index of the reputed first man with the measurements of the famous skull of Celebes, discovered a year and a half ago. “Not being well acquainted with the his tory of this particular relic, I consulted with many clerical authorities of Jerusa- lem before starting out on my tour of dis- covery. In this way I learned what follows: THE MOUNT OF SKULLS. where in the course of time our Lord was crucified, that spot being called Mount Cal- vary in Luke, chapter xxill., verse 33. Cal. vary is the Hebrew for skull. “The oldest Chnstian books on Palestine designate Mount Calvary as Adam's burial in the very spot where the Tirst man's skull rested. Indeed, the opinion seems to have prevailed that the skull was removed to allow the cross to be placed in the ground, For that reason even the very oldest pic- torial representations of the crucifixion ex- hibit a skull at the foot of the Cross, We all have seen that mysterious skull, but very few know whom or what idea Kt rep- resents. “The Turkish authorities,”’ continues Dr, Schick, “very generously permitted me to make the investigation demanded in the interest of science, and, armed with an official document and accompanied by «a blacksmith, I set out for the Church of the Holy Sepulcher a few days ago. “On the left slope, near the cleft in the rock, which is supposed to have been made at the moment of ovr Savior’s death and which, we are told, reaches to the center of the earth, we found the niche where Adam's skull is kept. We had to light matches and candies to see it. ? “When I held my torch close to the rall- ings I saw a skull, the outlines of which were certainly extraordinarily large, though not conforming to the tales of the Taknud, which say that Adam reached above the clouds so that the angels trembied at his approach. “An hour’s hard work by the blacksmith allowed us to remove three of the length- wise bars and the lower cross-bar, I then reached into the cavity and placed the skull on its side, after which I was able to lift it out. THE RELIC WAS OF BRASS. “With the first touch I became aware that something was wrong. I had handied many skulls in this town of ruins, but none dis- tinguished for weight as this seemed to be, As I moved it slowly the fear of breaking it never occurred to me, but instead « rather irreverent thought crept into my brain, Is it possible, I said to myself, that Adam had his teeth Allied with gold or «a metal of greater weight? And then I thought of the commotion such a discovery would produce. “After placing the skull on the stone flagging I lit half a dozen candies and set- tled myself comfortably to examine the find and do the bidding of my friends, the an- thropologists, but looking closer I conclud- ed that such would be labor thrown away, “For, imagine my amazement, the skull J held between my knees was of brass, “Yea, of brass, black with age, but not un- resisting to the knife I brought to bear on it. With it I scratched off a considerable layer of dust and verdigris, disclosing the foundation of copper and sinc. This experi- ment, I hasten to explain, was made at the base of the skull, the front with ite humas features being covered with heavy paint that originally enay have been white, Now it is of a dull, yellowish gray. with black where it has not peeled off, “I sent the blacksmith for a scale and several native witnesses. The scale showed that the reputed skull of Adam weighed drite, Mgr.

I will expla'n why. A great many men joined the church and made great pro- fessions for no higher or better reason than to embrace the op- portun.ty po yeamy afforded of taking young wives to them- selves, They were prompted only by Sensuality, and the eld- ers might know it, but they Were powerless to refuse the m admission to the church, Just as in churches of the Gent les, there are unworthy members. time-servers, who join the church for what good it will do them socially or professionally Their m tives may be doubted, but there {¢ no Way of proving they are not actin i good faith, So it 's with the Mormon Church, No one was author zed “ta in Judgment on a professed conv: rt's motives. and thhee men ot nto th church and scandalized it.

The thrifty, provident wife would ro of man in abandoned to sit her one and belleva that “Was there not also much discord and jealousy among the severa) 4 wives of one man” “No; the stories printed to that effect have been largely exaggerated, To degin vith, it has been popularly supposed tha' a man and his wives occupied in eee muse. This was not the case. Each wife and her family had her own house, and ' husband divided his time between his wives. Lion House, where Brigham ‘ng lived, was divided into suites, each with its portico and entrance, making | | \\ A \ \ \ \ . ‘ practically a separate house for each family. There was a large assembly hall inside, where ali met in the morning for prayers. but after that each familly retired to their own quarters. “When a man and @ woman are sealed to each other it is not ‘until death do us part,’ as with the Gentiles, but throughout etern'ty as well, and the church teaches that a man’s wife is his in the hereafter, and if she dies first she will wait for him there.”’ “Then a widow could not marry again?’ “Oh, yes; she could contract what is called a time marriage, but for that a dif- ferent ceremony ‘!s used. afier she would return to the husband to whom she was sealed for eternity.” “And how came you to become a missionary?” ‘I was called by the church, and had to obey.

This breaks all previous records. Never before in the history of the State has there been such abundance and never before in a year of plenty have prices ruled so high. The strawberry crop in the spring started the record-breaking. Peaches have followed suit and the crop of 2,000,000 bushels, a con- servative estimate, will net the growers not less than $2,500,00. Ordinarily $1 a bushel !s a fine price for peaches, but this year prices have ruled as high as $3 and $4 a bushel for extra good quality. The grape crop will be the largest ever known ‘in Missouri. The same is true of the apple crop, due in about a month. The apple crop will be worth not less than $10,000,000. The above estimates are from L. A. Good- man, Secretary of State Horticultural 8o- clety. The peach crop is just now being mar- keted. Half of the State’s output comes from the southwest corner, with Howell County holding the banner. The celebrated this year Olden fruit farm. the largest in the world, comprises 2,600 acres, of which 1,320 are planted, 800, acres being in peaches. A can- nery and peach brandy distillery are in operation there. The McNair fruit farm, located near St. Eimo, in Oregon County, is the second larg- est in the State. It is owned by J. G. Me Nair, a St. Louis real estate dealer, and his —_ — all cn RED STATE. ~ brother. Fifteen hundred bushels of peaches were grown this year on 19 acres of ground. The peach district, ina general way, may be said to include all of the count lying south and west of a line beginning with the north line of Vernon County and ex- tending east into Phelps and Crawford and thence southeast to the Arkansas line. The principal peach counties now are Greene, Webster, Wright, Texas, Howell and Ore- gon. Other counties are considered just as good for peaches, but they are not yet so well settled. Springfield may be said to be in the heart of the peach district. J. E, Lockwood, genera] passenger agent of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming- ham Railroad, gives the following as his estimate on the peach crop of six counties: Ag County. Actes Bushels.

There is a elight difference now made in the roll of the coat. The shawl roll, as it is called, which is allk-faced to the edge, is considered more appropriate for younger men than the lapel roll, which ‘is in vogue for elderly gentlemen. “All men of fashion will wear the Inver- ness top-coat over evening drere, and will be very careful not to wear it at any other time. The Inverness coat, which is the best garment for wear over evening clothes yet created, will be moderateiy long and will have straight shoulder seams, collar will be of velvet fronts, will close to the front with a fiy, and the cape will be just long enough to cover the sleeves of the coat. Fashion. able materials for the Inverness coats are cheviots and lamb’s wools. Every man whe can afford it, and some that cannot, will indulge in the fur-trimmed and fur-lined top-coat. Men of luxury cofisider this coat an abeolute necessity, though maay excel- lent citizens have reached a ripe old age and departed for other worlds without ever having heard of them. A moderate expend- fture for such @ coat is S250. The average man of fashion will scarcely be salliefied with @ coat costing icss than $0. “It la pleasing to note that extremes of tightness and looseness in the matter of coats are considered in this year of grace, very bad form.

Snoddy of the Woodson In. stitute, Richmond, Mo., has made a collec- tion of the best poems by Missouri writers that he could find. It is entitled “A Little Book of Missouri Verse.”” The introduction is by Perry 8S. Rader, who says, “A genuine poet is of far greater value to @ common- wealth, even in a material way, than a gold mine or a railroad.”"” Among the poets known in St. Louis and included tn the col- lection are Willlam V. Byars, John N. E4d- wards, Jr., Eugene Field, R. E. Lee Gib- son, Arthur Grissom, John Meyers Pax- son, William Marion Reedy and HBerthay May Ivory. A 8t. Louls man, Leon Greenbaum, has done what he could to protest against social and industrial wrongs by writing a story “Last Days of the Nineteenth Century,’ which is published by W. B. Conkey & Co, of Chicago, who brought out Bryan's book. It is not a picture of a cataclysm or a foreshadowing of wonderful changes. It is = a simple story of men and women, in- ured In part by their own folly, and even more by the lust of wealth, which the author looks upon as the curse of to-day.

Russia May Also Have Wheut to Sell, According to Some of the . Experts. The wheat market last week was notable for its startling surprises and violent fluc- tuations. It demonstrated that it Is easier 'for.a clique to boost prices than to get out whole, as some of the engineers of the late advance appear to have fared as badly as many of their predecessors. The records show that in the various deals to corner the market for fifty years, few of the manipulators have been able to get out at their pleasure or at.a profit, although they have made small fortunes for some of the “‘tailers” and ‘‘scalpers”’ and bankrupted many of their opponents. The famous Mackey corner and the Harper deal in 1887 were fair samples, and lost a fortune to cach of their participants. After opening Monday at the h'ghest price there was a rapid success.on of breaks and reactions which the excitement at a fever heat, but gradually scared out the smaller traders, Brokers were flooded wth selling orders, and while the bulis fought stubborniy to maintain their ground the tendency was steadily downward. Rull news. which had been so plentiful, suddenly became scarce and bearish re- orts began to appear. Argentine, which fae been kept !n the background of late, unexpectedly came to the front with an estimated crop of 80,000,000 bushels, as com- pared with 24,000,000 bushels a year ago. If this est mate is correct that country will have an exportable surplus of over 66,000,000 bushels. India.- Australia and Manitoba have each furnished their quota of bearish news, and exporters have been resell-ng cargoes. The movement of new wheat is enlarging, and altogether the situation is considerably less bullish than it was-a week ago, as it now appears that India, Chili, Argentine and Australia will probably be able to assist North America and Russia to supply the European demand for wheat. Cash wheat is somewhat stronger than futures, and all offerings are readily taken at current prices, with both millers and elevator people buying heavily. The situa- tion appears strong. The market in- corn has been stronger than wheat, as the crop is admitted to be short and news generaily is bullish, while the cash demand continues good. Oats are dull and the demand limited. The flour market has been unsettled on atcount of the wide fluctuations in wheut and, while millers are hopeful for the fu- ture, there are very few orders for flour being received. The output of flour from the mills of St. Louis and vicinity for the last week was 66.400 barrels, as compared. with 63,500 barrels for the previous week and 72,100 barrels for the corresponding week last year. It ts stated on good authority that Bal- timore exporters have canceled a great many contracts in Europe by paying dif- ferences at much below American equiva- lents and these same exporters by selling out their long option hedges have realized handsome profits on their deals. This meth- od of liquidating outstanding contracts has also been followed by exporters here and at other points and the congestion in the August and September situation is much relieved. Europe may and undoubtedly will require all of this wheat later, but not likely that her traders will be wild buyers as they have been, without new developments to act as a stimulus. Russ.an shipments continue unexpectedly large, and the foreigners are growing more independent, as the heavy crop in the United Kingdom has given them some encourage- ment, ° The Russian crop is always an uncertain factor, and may prove to have been great- ly underestimated. The United States became the leading wheat producing country of the world in 1874, and except in 1893 has steadily main- tained her position ever since. In 1891 France was second, India third, and Russia fourth, but in 1892 Russig was third and In- dia fourth, while in 1899 Russia was first, the United States seco and France third. Since that time the United States has been first, and Russia was second unti! last year, when France again got second place. As an exporter, Russia !s steadily gaining on th.s country, as sfnce 1891 her exports have shown a ee increase, and exports from the United tates have shown a steady decline. In 1891 the total wheat crop of Russia, according to ‘the Liverpool! Corn Trade News, was 175,792,000 bushels, and the crop of the United States was 611,780.00 bushels. In 1892 the Russian crop was 256.976.0000 bushels. and the crop of the United States 515,948,000 bushels. In 1893 the Russian crop was 451,584,000 bushels, and that of the United States 396,132,000 bushels. In 1894 the Russ an crop was 44) 840.000 bushels, and that of this country 460.267.000 bushels. In 1895 the Russ‘an crop was 404,614,928 bushels, and that of the United States: was 467,000,- \h) bushels. In 1898 the Russ‘an crop was estimated at 372,000,000 bushels, while the United States produced 427,000.000 bushels. The exports of the two countries were as follows: In 1891-92 Russia, 50,448.00 bushels: United States, 219,000,000 bushels; 1892-93, 84.000,000 bushels; United States bushels; 1893-94, Russ a, Tlnited States, 163,000,000 Russia, 144,000,000 bushels: 145,000,000 bushels: 1895-99, ss! bushels; United States, 126,000,000 bushels. From thie it is seen that Russia ts not only rapidly gaining on us as an export ng country, but in 1894-95 thelr exports of wheat exceeded those of the United States by 1,000,000 bushels; and they are develop- ing new wheat-producing territory much more rapidly than this country.

The clubs tn the United Wheeling Clubs will probably inaugurate joint club runs, and the spectacle will be seen of three or four bicycle clube uniting for Sunday runs out into the country. Cyclists in St. Louis are fortunate in hav- ing good roads ard a great many piaces of interest within easy riding distance. One of these is the ride out the Clayton road. Spinning out Locust street to the end of the asphaltum the rider takes L.ndell boule- vard to Forest Park. The road is elegant from the park, past the seminary to the Suburban cars crosaing. A few nice coast- ing hills will be struck, and then the whee|l- man will find himeelf on the North and outh road. Turn ta the right, after climb- ng a smal) hill, and you are in Clayton, the oounty seat of St. Louis County, twelve miles from the city. From here one can go back to the Clayton road, and two miles on to Bosche’s Grove, a resort very much fre- quented by cyclers. This is a nice, easy ride for a novice. To Hillstown and Bonhomme there are ewer big hills than on any other ride in 8t. ules County. This road is usually in fine ehape until late in the fall, when it becomes tty. Most of the centuries ridden by St. Auis wheelmen are over this course. The des are very slight and just rolling enough to take away the monotony of level stretches. There are numerous road-houses along the way for refreshmenis. Eight miles out the Oreve Coeur Lake road is passed, and after another seven miles, as shown by the cyclo- ter, Hilltown is reached. Then down a fons hill into the Missourt River bottom at rew Station the railroad tracks = are reached.

Doc- tor Copeland has given full and emphatic notice that beginning with September 1, all those who do not begin treatment or renew their treatment before that date must pay his regular fee. Because of the great number of people coming to him from all sections of the coun- try to be cured of deafness, he found it necessary to raise his fees in order to bring the number of his patients within his office facilities and the time of himself and his associates. He made this announcement in June, and extended the opportunity for July because the great number who sought to enroll their names during the final days of the month made it impossible for all to be seen; and for the same reason he made another extension for the month of August. There will be no further extension, never mind how great the crowds or what the plea. But Two Days of the Oppor- tunity Remain. Only those who begin treatment or renew their treatment during the next two days, that is before Sept. 1, will be treated until cured at the old low monthly rates. This offer positively closes Tuesday, Aug. 31, at 9 p. m.

In order for me to hear anyone it was neceSsary | for them to shout very loudly right in my ear, and when people spoke to me in ordi- nary tones I could see their lips moving but could not hear a sound. Many a time my friends greeted me on the streets, and as I did not see them and could not hear them, I was not.aware of their presence. “That constant noise in my head was ag- gravating almost beyond endurance, and sometimes I thought it would drive me crazy. All the time, day and night, there was no relief from that unceasing sound like the noise of escaping steam. ‘‘My deafness originated about five or six years ago, and started with a very bad cold. From then on sometimes my hearing was good and then again very poor, and all this time it was gradually geiting worse and worse. I read of the wonderful cures of deafness at the Copeland Institute and was also advised to go there by Mrs. John Smith, 2622 Lemp avenue, whose husband had taken the Copeland Treatment. “T consulted Doctor Copeland in regard to my deafness, and, after an examination of. my ears, he told me that I could be cured | ‘men from Mr. John R.

Miss Emma Fleming, 3505 Lindell avenue: “For eight years I suffered with deafness, which gradually became worse and worse until I had to quit teaching school. I was so deaf that I could not hear any one who spoke to me across the room, /_even in a very ioud voice. : | “I did not dare go on the street without some one accompanied me. “When.a child I suffered a great deal with the earache, and this continued until] I was gtown. Then I had an attack of la grippe, and the deafness dates from that time. “I faithfully and conscientiously followed the course prescribed for months; and though sometimes I became a little dis- heartened, yet I never gave up hope, and now my expectations are fully realized, for the Copeland physicians heve treated me With perfect success. “Now I have no difficulty at all in con- versing with any one, and my friends con- tinually reenark the wonderf “nge. “My restored hearine and re- ward for the time an el t< I couldn’t hear what was said, and had to keep on asking for repetitions. Even when people spoke very loudly the sound was confused so I did not understand ‘speak to me or ask me questions, and | I would not hear a sound. At the meal table I could not take part in general conversation because of my affliction. I could not use the telephone, and during business hours, as I have to transact busi- ness with a great many people, you can imagine the great annoyance my deafness caused me. “My deafness originated from a very severe cold, and from then on continu- ally grew worse. I spent a great deal of money on different doctors, but they did me no good at all. My deafness made me fretful and nervous and I almost gave up hope of being cured. Why He Went to Doctor Copeland. “For some time I had read in the daily papers of the cures of deafness at the Copeland Institute, but did not pay much attention to them until I saw a state- Cleery & Co., 200 North Second street, 'who had been taking the Copeland treat- ment. He is a friend of mine and I called to see him. He advised me by all means to go to the Copeland Institute, as from his own personal experience he judged they could treat me successfully. “I stopped all the other remedies I had been trying and carefully followed the course prescribed, with the result that my hearing is perfectly restored. Now His Hearing Is Perfectly Restored. “After I had taken the treatment some time, one afternoon, in the Copeland of- fices, my hearing came back in an ipn- stant. It seemed to me that the whole town was in an uproar. I thought there must be a big fire somewhere. All the noises seemed fearfully loud. The roar of the street cars, the rumbling from the streets, the slamming of doors, the ringin of bells, every. sound seemed multiplied ahundredifold. The doctor's voice seemed much louder tham necessary. You know. when I was deaf, every sound seemed fa; off from me. Now that my hearing has come back, ordmmary noises seem posi. uv Ly, painful in their intensity. “When I went home that night I was delighted to tell my mother and my sis. tere, that hearing had back and ‘se sil watch Circumstances Will the Opportunity of the Old Low Fees Be Extended or Renewed After September Ist. at arm’s length and could hear it ticking.

At the meal table he would miss what was said and was much put out. Then he often complained of humming noises in the head. Several times people have told me they spoke to Fred and he did not answer them. I had to ask them to excuse him on account of his deafness. How happy he was the night he came home with his hearing restored. As soon as he came in the room I noticed how pleased he looked and he said, as he held out his watch at arm’s length, “See, mother, I can hear my watch tick as far off as I can hold it. Thank God my hearing has come back.’ I am delighted for his sake that he is cured of the deafness.” Ciniieiiins HIS SISTER Says He Can Now Hear as Well as Anyone. Miss Ida Keller, 3718 Cozzens av.: “My brother was very deaf in both ears, and every night he would come home and complain of humming noises in the head. I am glad he is cured, for some- times he was much aggravated on ac- count of his deafness. He is certainly cured now, and can hear as well as any one.” ANOTHER SISTER Says the Copeland Doctors Have Done All They Said They Could. Mrs. Lizzie Brown, 3718 Cozzens ave.: “There is no doubt but what Fred’s hearing is all right now. He tells us not to speak so loudly to him. He is not yet accustomed to hearing so well. Now, whenever any one moves about the house at night, he wakes in an instant. The Copeland Doctors must be all right, for they have done just what they said they could.” HOME TREATMENT BY MAIL.

The Disputed Title of the Tirst Dis- coverer of the New Gold Fields —Henderson and Marshall—But the Richness of the Find Is Not in Doubt—The Story of the Great Find and the Rusi. That Has Followed It. History is largely a collection of con- troversies, and there is no happening s0 recent as to escape dispute or error. There are as many legends about Ethan Allen and Israel Putnam as about Ag- amemnon. It is even so with Klondike. Discoy- ered as a placer field less than one year ago, there igs already a difference of opinion upon the point who is its real ploneer. Joseph Ladue says that a man named (tees - . pe KLONDIKE : ¢0 Ww F7 MILES of | J 97. — PELLy RIVERS 4 és SS ae : & ; Sa sf % x as © S Sb ewk RAPIDS S | 64 MILES. & FIVE FINGERS 92 MILES SHOOTING FIVE FINGERS > f « LAKE LEBARGCE.

For Cormack was up to a year ago more of a fisherman than miner, and he was in the Klondike neighborhood after salmon at the time of the strike. as it Its COST The Klondike, or Tondak, known on Canadian maps, is called by the Indians ‘“‘Thorn-diuck,” meaning “plenty of fish.” So it was a pretty good place for a “squaw man” who was seining for Alaska salmon to sell to miners for dog fodder. CORMACK THE MARSHALI,. Cormack’s title as discoverer—as the Marshall of the new Eldorado—stands examination pretty well, Mr. Ladue’s story agrees that Cor- mack'’s was the first strike on Ponanza Creek, Henderson having worked in a slightly different field. Ladue says: “It was on Aug. 24 when Henderson, who had been prospecting four years in Indian Creek, a tributary of the Yukon, found himself in another little stream bed known as Gold Bottom (@ tributary of the Klondike) * © © After a time he ran out of supplies and went back to Fort Ogilvie, where I was stationed, and reported the find to me. I lost no time getting myself in readiness to proceed to the spot at once, and by Aug. BI had two men and four horses in Gold Rottom. In the meantime Henderson drifted down the mouth of®he Klondike in a small boat and found George Me- Cormack, an old friend of his, who was fishing for salmpn. Hunting up his friends when therd was anything in sight seamed to be one of Henderson's beat traits. He got MtCormack back up to Gold Bottom, whdre he located a claim, prospecied around awhile and = started back across counfry for the mouth of the Klondike Rivef, a distance of twenty miles. “That trip was destined to play an !m- portant part in the events which fol- lowed. for through it ocurred one of the big finds. McCormack took with him two Chiikat Indlana, and tue three men went off in the direction of Bonanza Creek, where the white man struck gravel that went $2.00 to the pan. According to the mining laws in Canadian possessions, the’ discoverer cam locate an ex- tra claim for himeelf as a reward <8 3

In late August Cormack was so poor he couldn’t work on his claim until he had earned a gru Stake at log-cutting. In the first eight days he washed out his share of $1,200. In the first rush came Bridegroom Clarence Berry and took $135,000 out of his claim, without the honor of dis covery.

And he did Keep quiet. At any rate, Hudson Bay agents un- questionably found gold as early as 1860. It was twenty years after that date be- fore the miners went to Alaska. In 1869 Mr. Whymper, the mountain c.imber, in his ‘“‘Travels in Alaska and on the Yukon,” says: “It is worthy of mention that minute specks of gold have been found by some of the Hudson Bay Company's men in the Yukon, but not in quantities to warrant a ‘rush’ to the loca.ity.”’ There certainly was no rush. Practi- cal minerg don't read about mountain ciimbing or exp.oration just fer fun, and so Whymper's item—the first public ref- erence to Alaskan gold—escaped their attention. In 1867 a Western Union Telegraph party descended the Yukon to its mouth, but it was not unti. 1878 that George Hiolt crossed the Chilkoot Pass to the upper Waters of the Lewis. Holt went down as far as Mud Lake, and then trailed across country to the Hootalinqua, Where he found coarse gold, as he said on his return. Maybe he went somewhere else, fer the Hoota- l.nqua now yields fine gold, but not coarse, liolt was fairly the ploneer of the re- gion, so far as gold seekers are con- cerned. Ile didn’t live to see the Klon- dike or to tell a later-day people about his travels. He was murdered by In- dians, In 1880 Edward Bean led a party of twenty-five argonauts from SitKa to the Yukou, with poor success, and other parties began to file over the pass by twos and threes. They have kept it up ever since “PAY DIRT’ FOUND IN 1881. “Pay dirt’ is what interests the miner. lle knows that there Is gold every- where, even in the salt of the sea, but that it wouldn't pay to mine the ocean. “Pay dirt’’ was found in 1881 by four miners who crossed the Chilkoot and descended the Lewis, or Upper Yukon, to the mouth of the Big Sa.mon River, which they ascended for two hundred miles. They found gold on the bars and had a good season. Other miners drift- ed in and tried the Pelley and Hootalin- qua Rivers with fair success, In 1886 the first: rich strike was made at Cassiar Bar on the Stewart River, where as high as $100 per day per man Was panned out, In the next year, 1887, just ten years azo, Dr. George M. Dawson, the chief of a Canadian Government exp.oring party, visited the Yukon and made a public report confirming the presence of gold in great quantities. The Canadian Government doesn’t look at things through Hudson Bay oanpeny Spec- tucles altogether. Dawson City, the town at the foot of the Kiondike valley, is named after this truthful explorer. The climate, the distance and the diffi- cu;ty of securing provisions robbed the Yukon region of the development it ought to have had on Dr. Dawson's re- pert. Still, the few hardy spirits who went in were well paid for their trou- bie. Six years or more ago they were taking out $300,000 a year in placer gold, Wages ranged at $10 a day. Traders entered the country, or gradually shift- ed their business from trafficking in furs to picks and miners’ supplies. A store was opened at old Fort Selkirk, while the Alaska Comeercial Company's mon- opoly of trade at Forty Mi.e Creek was broken by the North American Trans- sortation and Trading Company estab- fishing store at Cudahy, only three- fourths of a mile away.

Giacier Creek is parahel with Sixty Mile Creek and only three miles away. The dirt runs from a few cents toNa pan. The climate befits the name. Min- ing Recorder Paddock made a tr.p of sixty-five miles to Miller creek in winter with the thermometer ranging from to 77 degrees on the wrong side of zero, There are numerous other small creeks in this range not yet fully developed. Indian Creek has been prospected for 100 miles and has furnished some paying claims. THE STRIKE AT FORTY MILE. In the winter of 1887-88 a miner named Tom Williams started from Forty Mile Creek to Juneau with a letter to Jack McQuestion, the agent of the Alaska Company’s store at Forty Mile, who was then in San Francisco. The weather was fearfully cold. Will- lams had with him an Indian boy and a sledge team of dogs. The dogs all died of cold and exhaustion before Lake Bennett was reached, but Willlams and the Indian struggled on with what they could carry. On the surnmit of Chilkoot Pass they were battered by a mighty snowstorm, and hid from its fury for ten days in a snow hut, eating dry flour, which was.all] the food they had left. Here both men were badly frozen, Wiliams fell ill The heroic young In- dian, when the sun shone again, carried Williams on his back down the western Slope of the Chilkoot. Lsefore Williams died at Ty-a of his awful experience, he told Capt. Healy that he had been obliged to leave his letters in the snow at the summit. “The boys—have struck—it rich—on Forty Mile Creek,” said Williams, ‘Tell Jack (McQuestion) to take in—plenty of grub—this spring.”’ Then he died. That spring mining began in earnest on Forty Mile, and it became for a time the most famous of the Yukon diggings. it is not all worked out yet by any means, the easiest claims, rather than the richest, being the first to be taken. Nearly a million has been taken out of the Forty Mile neighborhood, and it 1s good for more, BIRCH CREEK 18S A PUZZLER. If Birch Creek were a railroad it would be described as a shameless attempt to parallel an existing line for selling out purposes. : It runs 200 miles parallel with the Yukon. At the upper end of this stretch a “‘carry’’ overland of six miles ig the equivalent of 400 miles by water. Birch Creek is probably nearly de proved rich in placer gold. This is about the northern and western limit of the placer region, as the lower Yukon has not yet been explored. It is not tempt- ing, and has few tributaries. | THE CLIMATE —_ HOW TO BEAT There are only about two months of summer and three months of open work- ing weather in the Yukon region. The ice gets out of the rivers about the mid- dbe of June and gbegins to skim over their surfaces again in mid-September. Meanwhile, if a mian can stand it, he has daylight enough to work twenty hours a day. The ground is perpetually frozen, thawing out only a little on the surface in summer. Thawing is aided by strip- ing off the moss that covers its sur-. ace, thus allowing the summer heat,’ which is as violent as it Is brief, to d its work. But the miners have not th patience to wait for the sun; and n6 wonder. So they dig and tunnel and “drift” all winter, thawing out the frozen dirt under their cabins by build- ing fires, and devote the open weather of summer to washing out the dirt thus. prepared. It is customary for a man to £0 in with the intention of staying two years. If he strikes it rich, he can come out the second summer with plenty of dust. The first is devoted to sluicing, while the season of going in—or its re- mainder—is not too much for prospect- ing and picking out a claim. There are many -instances to tell of the richness of the Alaska placer mines. On March 26, 1894, Conrad Dahl found Ont ft _ ag ee se “y ar 4 * ; “i yah en) vn l, WO, J U f wild f° Sins <9 WAY | Gi ) ey 2 dt ~ te RES Os Bay NSS... oa. an amount mor? than was needed to pay the ransom was brought in. No one could!) ascertain whence the gold came, but! from the direction in which thev went] and the length of time they oec ipied ih making the trip, it was ahh that they went many miles in- and.”’ MINPRAL WEALTH IN THE NORTH- | WEST. Canadian Engineer Ogilvie, »n speak- ing of his work on the boundary line, says: “Along the last ten or twelve miles of the line I ran the mountains consist principally of quartz and schists, which no doubt originally held the gold found in the vanleys, and, doubtless, hold some yet. Several men have taken to quartz prospecting, and from indica- tions which I will dwell on later I be- lieve we are on the eve of some mag- nificent discoveries.” Coal has been reported on the drift on Chandindu| Creek, copper near Klon- dike, and a seam of asbestos near Cudahy. Mr. Ogilvie believes that coal will soon be the fuel of the country instead of wood. This is important, as the w ust soon give out under its heavy use for fixing claims, and mining might, but) for coal, be seriously hin- dered. It seems, jat first thought, odd that no more effort) has been made to find gold- becring quartz for machine working in the Yukon district. But there is a reason. Most of the men who have hith- erto gone into the interior have been working quite on their own hook, and not for rich: companies. If they found pay quartz they would have no means of procuring machinery to work it. Generally they came in with but one year’s supply of food, and unless they could get the “‘dust’’ to buy more they were obliged to leave at the end of the first season) or seek work at wages for others. So |they have not spent much time looking for quartz, BUT WE ARE CHANGING ALL THIS. But now someentes are being formed in San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Juneau to work Yukon mines on scientific principles and with the latest improved machinery. Every effort is to be made to ttest the gold-bearing quartz of the hills} and there is just as good reason to expect rich quartz leads as in Colorado or California. In fact, it is as certain as anything can be that when every creek and river bed roduces placer gold, this must have been de- posited by disintegrating rock under the action of flaod, frost and rain, just as in other places. Where the same veins yet stand i the rock they can be worked profitably. Many & man, in pros- extting for placer gold, h&AYs come upon Soulders or rocks containing the root of but was not able to work long or ralse capital enough to follow up t “float.” All that is wanted is capital and |better means of bringing food and machinery into the country to make of the Northwest Territory a second Califarnia. GOLD MINES ON AMERICAN S80IIL Near tide water on the Pacific slope of the coast range there is Sn sage which has been for’ some time quietly worked by machinery, yielding a profit on com- paratively low-grade ore, and this re- gion is capable of much greater develop- ment. Reports made to the Geological Survey also indicate that the coast isl- ands near Sitka are rich In gold quartz, and these have the advantage of a cil- mate very much milder than that of the interior.

Some of the wonderful things reported in the gold mining region of South Af- rica are rendered possible by the cyanide process, which in its turn is rapidly bringing up the product of American gold mines to the old high-water mark.

But the favorite. though more labo- rious, route of American miners to the Alaska gold flelds is unquestionably that by Juneau and the Chilkoot Pass. To Juneau is a pleasant steamer jaunt of four or five days.

There is no doubt that the most com- fortable route to the diggings is the “longest way round’’—the Yukon route by way of St. Michael's. It is true that this is practicable only for a few months in the year and that the last boat for the present season has gone, but it would be foolhardy to start in this au- tumn in any case. It will be remem- bered that the men who brought out the gold dust this year all came by S8St. Michael's. Most of them went in by the Chilkoot Pass. The Yukon route is the easiest and rather the best going, and by all odds the best for the return. By any route March 16 is early enough for a start “THE YUKON ROUTE. The distance from New York to Daw- son City by the Yukon route is equal to nearly one-third of the entire cir- cumference of the world. It is further than the distance from New York to the Suez Canal. Taking an average route to San Francisco, it is nearly §,00v miles, apportioned as follows: Mies. New York to San Francisco........ 3,150 San Francisco to Dutch Harbor.... 2,400 Dutch Harbor to St. Michael’s...... 750 St. Michael's to Dawson City.....--- 1,652 BONE ciccasedéescdesedtns peocsbeene co &0n By taking tke Northern Pacific direct to Seattle or the Canadian Pacific to Victoria the voyage on the Pacific can be shortened by about 400 miles. Seattle ig a favorite starting point, but steam- ers starting from San Francisco are liable to have every desirable berth taken before- reaching Seattle, so that there is some advantage in starting with the ship at the former point. St. Michael's is not at the mouth of the Yukon, but some sixty miles north of the usual entrance to the Yukon River, on St. Michael's Island. This obliges the Yukon boats to steam out into the open sea, which they can do only in good weather, But it is impossible to find a town site anywhere on the lower banks of the river itself that will not be inun- ' dated during the freshet season. The Yukon is free from ice about the middle of June. The water at its mouths is only about eight feet deep. The delta is simply a vast, desolate waste of low soil, often submerged by water, of sand- bars, shoals and obstructtons. The river is very wide, eight to ten miles being an average away above the delta. It is navigable to the mouth of the Pelley River, a long way above Dawson, by 400-ton flat-bottomed stern-wheel sieam- era—the gort that run no a heavy dew. Besides these the river can be ascended : 300 miles further by smaller boats.

The Chilkoot Pass, from October to March, is gubject to furious storms in which life Is endangered. The grade is not, however, very bad, and the chief cause of delay has been, this season, the h.gh prices| charged for carrying goods over the pass by the Indians. In winter the journey is made with Sledges, drawn partiy by the miner partly by dogs, if he is taking in a full outfit of provisions. Some times with a south wind blowing, the traveller rigs a jury mast on his sied, hoists an extem- porized sail, and goes ice-hoating away towards the Arctic Circle ata great rate over the frozen lakes and rivers. There isn’t often much easy going of this sort, however, and the winter journey is by no means to be recommended. Going in in spring is different. The ‘best time {s early, before the snow melts, as supplies can then be sledded over the pass, and there Is still ice left in the lakes to drag or sail the sleds om The sled should be ahout seven and -«& half feet long, seven inches high and sixteen inches wide. Brass runners are referable to steel, and the frame will much more elastic and durable if lashed together after the native fashion, than if fastened with nails and bol which weaken the wood and give no “play.” March 15 is early enough to start from New York for a spring trip. After: the ice has melted, canoes are used for six miles after leaving Ty-a. Then the packs are taken up through the canyon to Sheep Camp. The next six m.les, up to the summit of the pass, are the worst of the trip. The height is 3.378 feet. It is eight miles and a half from the summit down to Lake Linde- man, an easy stage with snow on the ground, but rough and difficult in sum- mer. BUILDING THE BOAT. The boat journey can begin on Lake Lindeman If desired, but it is hardly worth while to build the boat so far up, as lumber has to be whipsawed for it by hand and is of inferior quality. The usual method is to build a raft and float the pack down to the outlet. This is half a mile lond and rough and danger- ous. Abandoning the raft, a portage is made to the head of Lake Bennett, where a new sawmill has been built to provide lumber for boats. These boats are clumsy scows of almost ~y! oid shape. The seams are made tight by in- TI tpn Pr le ee a ee Se pans oe

Fick paint spread over all wy out most of the water, but the boat ofte before it reaches its destination, for which reason most of the luggage should e put in rubber bags. “ Woliowing the right bank of Lake Ben- nett, Cariboo Crossing is reached, and the channel to Tagish Lake. The left shore of Tagish Lake is followed to the foot, where the traveller enters a slug- gish, shallow six-mile long stream, lead- ing to Mud Lake or Marsh Lake. The left bank of Marsh Lake is followed to the river leading to Lake Lebarge. At th's point the trip becomes interoene. Tbe river from Mud Lake to Lake 2- barge is sixty miles long. The upper and lower portions of it are easy pad. diing, but about midway of the distance occur Miles Canyon and White Horse Rapids, which together mix things up for about three miles. THE CANYON AND THE RAPIDS. Miles Canyon is navigable by skilled boatmen; White Horse Rapiis are not. As there are only two miles of calm water between, the important point is to know when to stop and portage. The canyon is five-eighths of a mile long, and there is a circuiar basin midway, below which the current is swifter, but not dangerous except at low water. Indeed, the worst point is above (ne basin, about 150 yards below the head of the canyon, where a rock that is only just concealed at low water threatens to wreck the boat, White Horse Rapids begin two miics lower, and are three-eighths of a muie long. The landing for the first portage is on the left or west bank. Sometimes a boat can be lowered through the first pitch with a rope, but the portage :s safer. Below the portage the boat is paddled to the head of the last drop. This is “a drop too much” for any boat- man to run. The channel closes In and the water goes down through with an angry roar. Fortunately, however, the portage is short, only about 100 feet. The rest of the river run to Lake Le- barge is clear. Lake Lebarge itself 1s thirty-one miles long and five m.les wide. It is usual to steer straight for the island in the middle, and under its shelter work around to the east or west shore, according to the direction of the wind. From the foot of Lake Lebarge to the mouth of the inflowing Hootalinqua or. Teslintoo River, the current is rap‘d MINERS RAFTING ON LAKE LINDEMAN. which runs into Tagish Lake at its up- er end, above the Lake Lindeman out- et. Capt. Moore says that a wagon road could easily be bult over White Pass, which is much less rough than the Chilkoot. It is probable that a wagon freight company will soon be hauling goods over this pass. Another route which has been used to drive beef animals into the country fol- lows the line over Chilkat Pass—not the same as Chilkoot, but running more northerly—skirts Lake Arkell and strikes the Yukon below the Rink Rapids. Here . cattle can be slaughtered and rafted down to Dawson or Cudahy, as the river is wide and deep. THE CHILKAT PASS. The Chilkoot Pass was used in part by the late E, J. Glave in his Alaskan ex- ploration in 1890. It bears a trifle west of north. Going up the Chilkoot inlet to =he Indian village of Klokwan, the Chilkoot River forks, the Kleeweenee, which Glave followed, coming down from the left. The parent river, the Chilkoot, comes down the pass from north by Upper Yukon, as well as along the middle region. The Klondike is getting too crowed. Gold was first found, it will be remembered, on the Big Salmon River, and it was washed in paying quantities along the Pelly and Hootal- inqua Rivers before the middle Yukon region was discovered. THE EPMONTON ROUTE, H. H. Heming, the Harper’s Weekly artist, who accompanied Caspar W. Whitney part of his journey to the bar- ren lands of British Columbia, describes an entirely new route to the gold flelds which looks like a good proposition, That is, it is a new route for gold seek- ers, though fur traders have used it for a hundred years. It starts at Edmonton, a station on the Canadian Pacific, reached by rail from any eastern point. From there the stages of a SO to WW day canoe journey are thus given by Mr. Heming: Miles.

The miners usually adopt the cos- tume of the natives. The boots worn ire generally made by the coast Indians 4nd are of different kinds. The water oots are made of seal and walrus skins. It is indispensable to carry along a pair of rubber boots. The native boots cest from $2 to $5 a pair. Trousers are usu- ally made from Siberian fawn skins ard from ;the skins of marmots and squir- rels. Outer garments aré made of mar- inot skins. Good warm flannels are an absolute necessity.

Below the junction with the Hootalinqua the river is large and calm, aml there is easy going for about i930 miles to the Five Finger Rapids. THE FIVE FINGER RAPIDS. Five or six miles before coming to the Five Fingers, the current grows switter and the right bank should be followed, as the river curves sharply above the rapids and it might not be possible to - make the landing from the middle. if the boat is heavily laden it should be lightened for the run, but the rapids are seldom portaged. The name is derived from five fingers of rock that stand up in the river, causing an obstruction. The right hand side is followed all the way. Five miles below the Five Fingers, stil] following the ant bank, are the Rink Rapids, formed by a row of giant stepping stones across the water, but not at all difficult. These are the last obstructions. Indeed, Surveyor Ogilvie thinks both the Rink and the Five Fin- gers could be ascended by a powerful steamboat. Below the Rink there are still 225 miles of dreary river to run before reaching Dawson, but there are no obstructions. It is usually about a mile wide and fair time can be made. old Mississippi on keelboits, ey are never n up river again, are broken up and used for lumber. THE WHITE PASS ROUTE. The river trip from Lake Li to Dawson has been carefully descri beeause it will be for a long time, ag it has been for y the usual route to the placers of the Yukon, There is reason to believe, however, that the Chilkoot Pass will not much longer be used as many of the delayed miners on the divide have been working on the White Pass this year, and it is ae, | an é¢asier route to Lake Linde- man. t lies to the right of the Chil- koot Pass, and Surveyor Gillespie, who named it after the Hon. Thomas ite, Canadian Minister of the Interior, esti- mates its height as 2,500 feet. On the descent one can make Lindeman or—rather to the right—strike a stream west. Further up it branches still again, and the right branch is again followed. This is called the Klaheela River. From the summit of the pass, whose height is not yet measured, another stream pres- ently begins to lead down to the Toh- keena River, which flows into the Yu- kon, or the Lewis, as it is called by Can- adian geographers, until its junction with the Pelly, just a few miles below the White Horse Rapids. Still another route is being opened by the Canad‘an Government from Tele- graph Creek, the head of navigation on the Stikine River, to Teslin Lake on the Hootalinqua River. Teslin Lake is nav- igable by small steamers, and thence all the way down the Yukon, though no service has yet been organized. The dis- tances by this route are thus given by Leéue in his book, “ ike Facts:’’ Miles Victoria to Wrangell.................. 7 Wrangell te Telegraph Creek......... 150 Telegraph Creek to Teslin Lake.... 150 n L. to Cudahy, 63; to Dawson. 600 This route, thou it involves the one land trip of any of these de- scribed, might easily become the favor- ite one, if a good road were made and —— put on the Hootalinqua. vers and Sixty Mile Creek and their tributaries above Dawson.

For the rest it ‘s pretty good down grade, canoeing down to Fort MacPher- son. From this point, as Mr. Heming justly observes, the Peel River lies south to the gold diggings, but it is up- hill boating on the Peel, and there is still a mountain range to cross to get over the divide into the Yukon valley, © striking the McMillan River, which de- bouches into the Yukon at Fort Selkirk. The advantages claimed for this route ore the existing trails, carries, steamers and freight scows, the fact that there are pienty of supplies to be bought en route, the abundance of game and the feasibility of a late start. Still, it is a ong journey and involves plenty of ad ; a sum up the situation, it looks as if the favorite way initio the Yukon gold fields will be in the immediate future the White or Chilkoot Pass and the Lewis waterways. y\ Ne Ns \e ’ WAY AY ; Sh \ \* \\ ss : mw N\A? .

Klondike gold can only be got under conditions prescribed by law. So far only placer mining has been attempted out there. Having arrived at the dig-. gings the intending miner prospects the unclaimed lands. He will find it inter- sected by a number of smal] streams or creeks, whose course runs through nar- row valleys between the foothills. When he is satisfied that struck a gold-bearing spot he proceeds te “stake out his claim.” The law re he has stakes are marked as in placer claims and the same rules govern in regard to finding of = | filing the claims.

This is entirely unnecessary. Re- volvers will get you into trouble, and there is no use of taking them with you, as large game of any character is rarely found on the trip.

Their temperament, too, is im- pestant Men should be of cheerful, opeful dispositions and willing work- ers. Those of sullen, morose natures, although they may be good workers, are very apt, as soon as the novelty. of the country wears off, to become dis- satisfied, pessimistic and melancholy. <_——- A PRECIOUS PARTNERSHIP. Gold and silver in almost all cases are found together, and together they cling until separated by chemical processes. Ordinary gold dust usually contains a considerable proportion of silver.

From all accounts, it would seem that the Klondike region is a sort of earthly paradise; no fiehting, no shooting, no lynching, no theft. It’s cur ous, too, for there are in Forty Mile Post, Dawswn, Circle City and other mining towns, saloons by the lozen, gambling hells, few women and plenty of men just like those who used to die with their boots on ‘n California. The Klondike ‘s even more squeamish on some points | than some older dig- gings, like Gotham and Paris. Bioomers don’t go. Capt.

In width the cla'm can run from base to base of the hills on either side of it. If no previous claim has been staked out on the creek it is called “the discovery claim” and the stakes that mark it off bear the letter “O”" (original). The next claim staked off, as you go up the stream, is No. 1 and the same number is given to the adjoining claim as you go down the stream. This makes two claims marked No. 1 on each stream or creck. Four stakes are used in marking off the boundaries of a claim. Bach stake must be marked with the initials of the claim-owner, and the letters “M. L.” (mining location). The owner must pro- ceed to bound his claim with cross or end lines, and within sixty days he must file a written notice of his elaim with the Government Recorder at Dawson City. HOW TO RECORD A CLAIM. To make a proper record an aftidavit must be filed that the clam has been properly staked, giving the date it was done, an found there. At the end of that time, if he finding gold, he cannot any longer hold the claim. The finding of gold is absolutely necessary to give a es gee gern title to a claim. e method of staking a quartz claim taken out of any one claim up to $500 per week,.and on all amounts per ®eek in excess of that sum 2 per cent. in ad- dition to this the Canadian Govern- ment will reserve every alternate claim in the Klondike for itself for the benefit ef the Canadian Treasury. MINING TERMS DEFINED. It will help the inexperienced man bound for Kiond ke, as weil as the gen- eral reader, to understand mining hvter- ature, if the technical terms used in it are exactly defined. _,. Under the Canadian laws “mine,” placer m.ne” and ‘“diggings’’ are synonymous terms, and mean any bed of earth that is mined for goid. Placer ciaim” meas the personal right of property or interest in ary lacer mine. Placer claims are lega.ly es.gnated as “creek diggings,”” ‘bar diggings,” “dry diggings,” ‘bench dig- gings” and “hill diggings.” “Creek diggings’’ means any mine in bed of a river, stream or ravine, ex- cepting bar diggings. Bar diggings’’ means any mine over which a river extends when in its flood- xe ry diggings”” mean BS, . gs" 8 any mine over ‘mg means ~y ae on r the purpose of definin the size of a claim in bench diggings & excepted from ‘“‘dry diggings.” Hill diggings” means any mine on the surface of a hill and fronting on any natura. stream or ravine. st includes all and ravines” natural water courses, whether usually not, and all rivers, containing water or creeks and gulches. *‘Ditch” is a term that includes a fume, pipe, race or other artificia. means for conducting water by its own weight, to be used for minin purposes. Ditch head” ns the point in a natural water course or lake where water is first taken into a ditch. ee miner” means a person, or joint and Cudahy, skirts are “en regle’’—even if ‘“‘de trop.”’ No one ever locks a cabin door. You can leave a few thousands in gold dust lying around loose, and no one wil) steal it. This forbearance is not so remark- able as it seems. If a thief did steal when there is nothing to break through he couldn’t spend his money or leave the country unsuspected. The upper circies of the Yukon Val-- ley usually dwell in commodious homes of boards well banked up with tallings to. keep the cold out) and measuring some 12 feet by 14. A common househoid ornament ts a hole in the floor, through which the owner ¢an descend and dig pay dirt in the frosty bowels of the earth when he has time. Cooking is done on sheet iron stoves, very light and small, lugze!l over the Chilkoot with other belongings. There isn’t generally much to cook on the stove except the three “Bs’*—bacon, beans and bread. In summer there is fresh fish: itn winter also, if a man cares to brave coid feet by standing on the ice to fish through a hole chopped in it. Besides, the hole has @ way of freezing up again rapidly. THE KLONDIKE NOT SO WARM. The cold is not so terrible a bugbear as many imagine. The air is very dry, and it causes no discomfort to work out of doors with the thermometer at ® below. General humidity makes the cold as well as the heat worse to bear.

Women wear the parka, or skin coat filched from the fawn or wolverine, but they have to deny themselves the pleas- ures of dress reform so far as to wear light short skirts over their leather breeches and boots. In summer one can dress as in New York. Housekeep.ng is most primitive. Men are in the vast majority, and it is cus- tomary, as it was in California, for them to select partners and live two in a “shack,” or cabin, to save housework and divide expense. In winter there are no means of bathing without extraordin- ary trouble. The snow seldom lies more than three feet deep, there are no thaws to make crust. on its surface, and all winter travelling is done on shoeshoes. Prices are extraordinarily high, and vary according to c_rcumstances, so that one can hardly tell what they will be next spring, when the new crowd gets into the diggings. But at 30 or 7% cents a pound is perhaps a fair sample. Last wirter, because the preceding summer had been a bad one for salmon, bacon had to be feed to the sled dogs at a cost of 2% to 40 cents apouna. And there have been times when a dog was worth $300 to kill to keep some miner with plenty of “dust” but no “grub’’ from starving. There are physicians in the Klondike and there will be hospitals at several points, established by the Sisters of Mercy from Montreal. Last winter there was a benefit performance in Cirele City, when a quarter of beef ‘‘snaked”’ into the country on a dog sled, was raffled off for $400 for the hospital. Now Circle City is pretty well deserted, and the hospital will be needed more somewhere else. Thre is still a post-of- fice at Circle City, and mails come and §° every month in winter, by carrier to uneau. THE KLONDIKE IN SUMMER. In summer what a change there is! The thermometer rises frequently above 90. Men work sixteen and eighteen hours a day, sluicing out the dirt they have been digg.ng out all winter, and drop dog tired into their bunks at night to dreamless sleep. They can vary their food only a little. Fresh salmon are us- ually plenty, but game is not. Hence the great bane of the country is scurvy. It is avoided by drinking a great deal of lime’ juice. A better way would be to get fresh vegetables into the country, and there is no doubt that they could be grown wee ee success, not per- haps at Circle City or Dawson, but four or five hundred miles farther south, on the Tagish or Teslin Lake, and boated easy down stream towards autumn. True, the season is short, but growth is very rapid while it lasts. Many vege- table crops require but a short time to mature. The Danish settlements in Greenland, quite as far north as these lakes, have pretty fair vegetable gar- dens. The men who first get into busi- ness as market gardners, supplying the Yukon basin with fresh vegetables, will! need no gold mines. Surveyor Ogilvie thinks that there may be room in the upper Yukon region for 2,000 fairly good farms. Genera! farming will never thrive in this region, in his opinion, but the special industry of supplying fresh vegetables and meat, un- der admitted difficulties compensated for by high prices—that’s not the same thing he day hasn't come yet when you can get a nice Geogia watermelon in Dawson for 20 cents. Indeed, water- nelons can’t be raise? on the YuxKon. Mr, Ogilvie’s thermometer showed frost four times last August. So far as cattle are concerned, they can be driven into the mnines, and kept fat on bunch grass all the way. DOWN WITH THE DUST! “T'll give you an ounce of it.” “Ounce an’ a half.” . “Ah, g’ wan! What yer talkin’! I ain’t no Vanderbilt! Give ye an ounce an’ a quarter.” “Oh, wel, take it.’’ Out come the scales, not to weigh the lee but the money.The miner pro- uces a little buckskin bag or a can holding a heavy yellow sand—or so it looks. “And a pinch for good measure,”’ says the miner, who a moment before was haggling about the price. Probably the ‘“‘pinch’’ brings the price up to an ounce and a half. But no matter. There is more in the dirt pile, only waiting to be washed out. Gold dust is the money of the Klion- dike. It is reckoned at $17 an ounce, but is hardly worth so much, the samples assayed in San Francisco running rather lower. Nobody, seler or buyer, minds about enough gold dust to be worth a dollar or so, Neasly every man carries a pair of scates. Buying 50-cent-a-drink whiskey is about the only use for frac- tional parts of a dollar, and it is a sight for Homeric laughter to see a burly miner in a deep dark drunk trying to weigh out half a penny weight of ld dust for ‘“‘jush anozher, Cap."’ A saloon can take in from $1,000 to $,000 a day, Fr UY Y Ate Ws 7 hip ’ ¥ Tm Hy fly " ‘s “i 4 Wf é gh ™ ry BS ayy / Wa! p CY Mj J 7 > Wes So 1W ; = ~S th ~~ Wives} 1 = —— a POSTMASTER REPINSKY AT THE DOOR OF HIS CHILKAT HOME. and twelve thousand gallons of whiskey have recent.y gone into the Kliondike ie sustain the flagging spirits of the Y koners, Pretty poor whiskey some of it must be, too, if one is to belieye the stories about selling it frozen in Square chunks! SCHOOLS AND GAMBLING HELLS. Gambling is the great passion of the miner everywhere. ‘“‘Hasy come, easy g0,"" says the philosophical miner who .oses at the table the dust he got by aang toil with the pick or at the sluice. There are children in Klondike now, and a school is to be ready for next sea- son. There has been a school at Circle City and another at Forty Mile. With all its fau.ts, with all the dirt and privation and the sordid strife for gold, there is something simple and fine about this mining society. There are no snobs in it, no liveries except the livery of toil; no very rich men and few extremely poor; no thieves except those who practice the permitted theft of the gaming table. One man is in literal truth as good as another; there is chivalrous regard for women, kind- ness for misfortune and ready courage for emergencies. There are heroes on the ground like Three-Fingered. Hoover and his mates who The flinty ribs of Red Hoss Mountain smote For wherewithal to pay the price of Casey's tabie d note. It is primitive society with its faults and its virtues, which are not the faults and virtues of the festering towns. There is manliness, at any rate; and there are genuine human women, with the charm that comes of open air living and plenty of exercise. THE RISE AND FALL OF TOWNS. The curse of the country—as of any go.d region—is its instability. There is no use making pleasant homes in a min- If it succeeds, the residents all expect to ‘“‘make their pile” and *‘mosey States.”’ If it fails, every one will be off for fresh diggings and leave the shacks pathetically de- serted.

There is some relief when the a.agic Summer brings out the scanty vegetation at a bound, further up the Yukon, but in its mid@le stretches the forms of flower and tree are mono- tonous, indeed, almost beginning and ending with moss and scrubby little trees. Nature’s poor attempts at land- scape painting are, at the best, soon marred by man. There is no occupation that spoils a country faster than a The great heaps of “slickens”’ or tail- ings disfigure every stream, and the face of nature is all cut and gashed and hacked with prospect holes. MOSQUITOES A PEST OF LIFE. Mosquitoes are the plague of life throughout Alaska and the Northwest Territory. Schwatka says they sting the bears so as to drive them crazy. When the poor animals are driven by hunger down to the river in mosquito time they are so bitten about the eyes- as to become blinded, when they die of starvation. The late E. J. Glave wrote of the pests: ‘A liberal daubing of bacon fat and pitch around the eyes and ears of our arimals kept those sensitive parts free from the pests, and when my own head grew so bumpy I could not get my hat en I applied the remedy to my own anatomy with a good deal of success, When not feeding, our horses woul leave the sheltered places and seek the open stone to avail themselves of what- ever breeze was blowing; they would then stand in couples, so that each would have the benefit of the other's tail as a switch. Cattle are so maddered by the mos- quitoes that they will gallop half a mile at top speed against the wind in an ecn- deavor to shake them off, and then graze until the mosquitoes force them to make another dash for life. As the miners’ camps are necessarily always in lowlands along the creek bot- toms the suffering from these pests is considerable. THE INDIANS OF ALASKA AND THE YUKON.

YOUTH AND HOPE IN THE VAN. A perennial charm of Yukon society is the fresh and vouthful vigor of the men found there. Probably the average age is less than thirty-five. “An ‘old miner’ does not need to be an old man. A pioneer in the region may -have had but ten years’ Es ence and be but lit- tle past thirty. he few women in thea mines average even younger. ‘The un- fortumate there are. but not the age-l, and poverty takes its ills philosophical- ly, halving seen too many of the ups and of life to despair of a turn in the —— ——E—EE CHAPTER VFI. of the Kiondike nes Since the First Find—Es- ates of the Wealth Still nited States Mint’ authorities the amount of gold which has ached this country from the at about four tons, worth over $2,000,000.

He declares that a tall peak, named for him Mount Deben- deleben, situated 65 degrees 25 minutes and 11 seconds north and 172 degrees west, is formed almost if not entirely of goli-bearing rock. In the Klondike the richness of the alluvial deposit !s marvellous. Alexan- der McDonald, an experienced miner, who according to Joe Ladue is worth from four to five millions, made the “star” strike there. With three men shovelling into the sluice box he washed out eighty-six pounds of gold, worth $27,000. All of this gold came from forty Square feet of his claim. When it is considered that a claim is 500 feet along the bed of the creek and runs back to the rising Jand, in fact a strip of the valley 500 feet wide, it is seen at once how valuable such a one as that referred to above must be. It is impossible to value them as their own- ers would not consider anything less than the amount which the proportion of the first shaft sunk seemed to show. The holdings of every man in the Klondike are valuable enough to makt him immensely rich when the public be- gin to invest their money. Some of the miners have already begun to realize. Clarence Berry has given an option on his own claim and his interests on oth- ers at $2,000,000, subject to examination. The would-be purchasers are said to be Wall street speculators. This, however, is an exceptional price, as claims have rarely brought as high as $200,000, and some have gone as low as $2,000. Most of the men listed above own claims more or less valuable, which they intend to sell here. When the lucky ones left Klondike there were 400 claims staked which at an average value of $100,000 were worth $40,000,000. The consensus of opinion is that they will produce that and maybe more in gold. But, as Prof. Emymons says, the placer mines are hardly a taste. When the veins are located in the mountains and machinery begins to take out the metal a mine of wealth will be opened, the end of which no one can predict now. In the mean time as many dollars are being put into the Yukon district as are being taken out. About 6,000 people have booked to go. Their outfits at $600 each will mount up to $3,000,009, consid- Queen ample set by that clever manipulator. He proved that promotiou brought move wealth than gold, and speculation more than diamonds. Anticipation is far su- perior to realization—financially. The one can be cashed and banked, while the other is often a sad disappointment. THE ROMANCES OF KLONDIKE. Gold hunting and romance have ever fone together, and the Klondike is no Gi“erent from other fields in this re- as Aa. more romantic and attractive story of love, daring, trust end courage than that of Clarence and Ethel Berry, the bride and bridegroom of the Klondike? Ethel Bush is no ordinary woman, al- though no one of her friends or relatives in the little California town of Sel Where is there to be found a - went to the mine every day a up her self $10,000 worth of Bon gg claim was one of the richest in the region.

Berry Coes not expect to return to the mines. Why should he? Besides his original claims, he owns a Share in sixteen others, worth t ther several million dollars. He has already given an option for the sale of only a portion of his holdings for $2,090,000. Berr says he is going back to Fresno to put up a fine nouse for his parents, who are in r circumstances, and will then settle down there himself. JOSEPH LADUE’S STORY. The story of Joseph Ladue sounds less like luck than practical work and effort. It is the story of fifteen years of trial, rivation and suffering, the story of a fong struggle with nature and a late though glorious success. Notwithstand- ing the years given to wanderings in the wiiderness, Ladue is still a young man comparatively. He is forty-three ears old. He owns the town site of awson City, and has an interest in some of the very best claims in the dis- trict. He is not a man to say much about his success, but he has unques- | the same time.

On March 15, 1896, they were married, and the next day started, via San Francisco and Juneau, for the golden land of promise. They had just money enough to pay their passage to Juneau and provide an “outfit.” On March &% they commenced the over- land journey of seventy-eight days to Forty Mile Camp, that is one of the strangest honeymoon trips on record. The bride made the journey strapped in a sled drawn by dogs, or securely fas- tened in a boat to shoot the rapids of the streams or cruise through the chains of lakes. They carried with them a tent and a small stove, and pitched their mp at night upon the hard snow. On une 10 thé brave pair reached Forty = Camp and found everything very CLARENCE BERRY’S LUCK.

La- due may pass him if he will. Fifteen years in the wilderness. Fif- teen years, none of which gave promise of more than a living, or at most, a very few thousands for old age and the rainy day. Ladue was a New York State farmer’s boy until he was twenty-one. Then he went West and knocked about the Black Hills, drifting from there to Arizona and New Mexico. Five years of this life con- firmed the gold hunting habit. and in 1882 he started with a well-equipped party for Alaska. They went into the interior via Chilkoot Pass, and prospected down the Yukon Valley. in they found ld ih small] though paying . quantities. he next year they struc luck on the Stewart River, where some sand bars yielded at the rate of $100 a day, but were soon washed out. For the next eight years Ladue continued pros- see but says that these years rought him only $7,000 or $8,000. In 1890 he opened a store at the mouth of Sixty Mile Creek, forty miles above the Klon- dike,-and with Robert Henderson put in years in prospecting. Henderson finally struck gol in the Klondike. He claims to be the first man who did. He certainly was one of the first. Ladue, being at once on the spot, found the fortune he had looked for so jones. Ladue had made two trips to San rancisco, and had brought in machin- ery for a saw mill, which he took to his new town, Dawson City, as soon as he had put in his application for the site and christened the future metropolis of the Yukon mining region. His was the first house built in Dawson City. and he owned the whole place. He still ‘owns nearly all of it. As the crowds swarm in next spring, or even the number that get in this fall, the rise in values at Dawson City will be sufficient to make Ladue several times a millionaire with- out a single foot of gold bearing land. Ladue’s story of the Klondike and the rise of Dawson City, give to the public the most complete and comprehensive narrative of the new gold region yet blished. Ladue has aiso published a k called “Klondike Facts,” published by the American Techoical Book Com- pany, New York, from which, by permis- sion, many of the facts in this account of the Klondike up to date have been drawn. SEVERAL LUCKY FINDS. Ladue tells some remarkable stories of lucky finds. He says: “I guess McDon- ald turned out the bigeest work for A day. With three men ‘shovelling tn’ for about four hours, he took out éighty-alx nds, worth between $27.000 and ¢claim in Bonanza Creek, made by the hand labor of four men, in three months cleared up $65,000.

Marstens was born of well-to-do parents in Devonshire, Engl He was sent to Oxford, but did not stay there long, pre- ferring a roving li Gambling with cards and betting on horses was his passion, Finally he drifted to Kentucky, and there the last of|a handsome patri- mony was lost on the race track. Al- most penntiess he reached the Pacific Coast, and hearing the stories of gold in Alaska determined to try his luck. With a partner named Hilby he went into the interior in 189. On Jumble Creek they located a claim. Marstens had no money and Hilby but very little. They hired two brothers named Mend- ers to work for them. After six weeks’ work the Menders wished to leave, but Hilby persuaded them to stay, saytng if gold was not struck in another week he woukl give them the claim. At the end of the time he was as good as his word, and with Marstens went into the Klondike region, The Menders stuck to the claim, and in three weeks had taken out $50,000. Afterwards they sold it and left the country with $175,000. The men -who bought the claim have taken out $100,000. - : Mursten’s ill-luck folowed him to the Klondike region. Finally Hilby died and Marstens returned to the Alaska dig- gings. Sometimes he prospected and sometimes worked by the day, but he Says that for seven years all the gold he took out for himself would not amount to $100. Last summer he was very hard up, and was giad to hire out with a party about to start for Klondike for $%.a day and board. When he got to the district his employer released him and, strange to say, he found the od claim which Hilby and he had abandoned before. Encouraged by the good luck of his neighbors, he started in to work it, and in three months had taken out }7),0u8). HOW MRS. WILLS STRUCK IT, The experience of Mrs. WUls, of Ta- coma, who left her sick husband at home while she went out to seek fortune for both, shows what a woman can do, she went into the interior two years azo with Ladue’s party and pulled her own sled, weighing 20 pounds, the whole way, about seven hundred miles. She baked bread at 50 cents a loaf and washed for the miners at 3% cent# per piece. When the Klondike excitement commenced she went with the rush and secured a claim worth| 20,00. There is a dispute over the ownership, 80 While the matter le pending Mrs. Wille makes $15 a day a8 a cook.

His idea is to stick to his c.aim until he makes money enough, to buy back for her the old home and place her out of the reach of want for the rest of her days. Stories of money made from the inexperience of tenderfoot miners are plenty. A miner named James Belt had — working on found one morning dead, with the sacks containing his gold under his pillow. The cause of death was heart disease. The gold was turned over to the Cana- dian Gold Commissioner, who will look up his heirs.

CLARENCE BERRY. his claim and had taken out a great heap of dirt, supposing it to be of little vaiue. When a Frenchman came along and offered him $25,000 he thought it was a stroke of good luck, but was cha- rined to see the purchaser wash $5,000 rom it, One of the most notable strikes was that of C. E. Meyers, who with his part- ner shovelled six hours and “cleaned up” three times, getting $8,000 each time, or $24,000 in all. Uley Garsford, who has a claim worth hundreds of thousands, and has taken out about $50,000, did not come out with the other lucky ones this summer, for fear that his wife would find him. About two years ago he was a barber in Ta- coma. He and his wife quarrelled and Garsford‘tan away to Alaska to get rid of her. Now that he is rich he is more than ever afraid to come back, as he feels sure his wife would pursue him anywhere in civilization. George Hornblower, of Indianapolis, picked up nuggets worth $5,700. En- couraged by the find, he located a claim and took out $100,000. Williasn Koljer, a Finlander, had an experience that illustrates the ups dnd downs of a gold-seeker. In February he was down to his last meal and his claim had panned out nothing. He put himself on short rations and worked on for a day or two, and struck it rich. He brought out $17,000 in go:d and sold his claim for $20,000. Many of the old miners who have been in Alaska for years and who had pros- pected the Klondike region without suc- cess, say that it was tenderfoot ig- norance that caused the strike. A hith- erto infallible rule of placer mining has been that it is useless to dig through clay. The old-timers that prospected first. when they came to clay stopped, but the newcomers did not know enough to do so, and keeping on digging right through the clay made rich finds. Frank Physcator, who came out this was formerly a the Yukon River summer with $96,000, waiter on one of steamboats. Mrs. Wilson, wife of the agent of the Alaska Commercial Company, wash $144 from one panful, NOT ALL GOOD LUCK. Of course not all the luck of the Klon- dike has been good luck, although from all accounts most of it has been, so far. Cc. Q. Felch, of Oregon, had made all he wanted and sold out his claims for $12,- 000. He was only waiting for the steam- er to start for home and civilization when death overtook him. He was where scores, perhaps by this time hundreds if not thousands, have fallen by the way, cvercome by the storms and hardships. Here is a typical case: Charles A. Blackstone, George Botcher and J. W. Malinque, who went -to Alaska from Seattie in 1896, attempied to get to the seacoast the first part of this year They were last seen alive March 27. Friends who went to search found Blackstone's body frozen stiff. On the body was the foiiowing statement: Saturday, April 4, 1897. This is-to certify that Botcher froze to death on Tuesday night. J. W. Malinque died on Wednesdayk afternoon, being frozen badly. C. A. Biackstone had his nose, ears and four fingers on his right hand and two on his left hand frozen an inch back. The storm drove us on before it. It overtook us within an hour of the summit and drove us back. It drove everything we had over the cliff except blankets and moose hide, which we all crawled under.

This is the simplest and oldest form of min- ing, and is usually adopted in new gold fields. In its crudest form, placer min- ing ig simply the picking up of a pan- ful of dirt from the bed of a stream where gold is supposed to exist, the i, “4 » washing away of the dirt antl pebbles and the gathering of the gold, which, because of its weight, sinks to the bot- tom of the pan, For example, let us follow a pros- pector on some stream in our Western gold fields, where the complication of etermially frozen ground does not enter into the question. After travelling per- haps many weary days he comes on a stream coming down some mountain gorge that looks “‘L.kely,"’ as he says, to his practised eye. He stops and ex- amines the pebbles on the bottom, and finds a good many of them are of quartz, INDICATIONS OF “PAY DIRT.” This, although not in itself an indica- tion of gold, is a good sign, so the prospector scrapes away the earth and stones at the bottom of the stream to the UWepth of a foot or so, and then takes out a panful of dirt. The pan, by the ‘ie is nothing but a broad, shallow dis of strqng sheet-iron. Having done this, he puts in enough water to make the panful semi-l:quid, and then gives it a rapid, twirling mo- tion. This causes the geld, if there is any, to sink to the bottom of the pan. Then the gravel and sand are carefully washed out until only the heavy residue remains in the pan. This residue is carefully examined to see how many “colors” there are in it. “Colors’’ is the term miners give to the particles or nuggets, if there be any, of gold that can be seen at the bottom of the pan. But gold is not the only thing that sinks to the bottom of the pan. Imost always there is found with gold a fine black sand, which is magnetic iron ore, and from this the gold has to be sop arated. Of course, if the gold is in nuggets of any ‘size this is a simple process, but if it is in fine dust, as is enerally the case, the mercury process employed. THE MERCURY PROCESS. In this the residue in the pan Is placed in a barrel with some water and mer- cury. The gold, when it touches the mercury, forms an amalgam. After a quantity of gold has been put in the barrel the mercury is taken out, = eye through a buckskin bag, and what remains in the bag is heated, either in a retort or in some other way, until what mercury is left is vaporized, and the gold remains, nearly pure. This is placer mining in its most rimitive form, but it is slow work, and ong ago various methods were devised to shorten it where it was to be car- ried on to any extent. The first step in advance in placer mining is the use of the “rocker.’’ The rocker looks like one of the old cradies we find once in a while in the attic of some old house up in the country. It is a box about three feet long and two feet wide, placed on rockers just like a cradle. A part of the box is covered with a piece of heavy sheet iron, placed a few inches below the top and punched full of holes about’a quarter of an inch in diameter. The bottom of the rest of the box slants towards fhe lower end and is covered with a plece of woollen blanket. Towards the end of the box giats are placed across, with mercury behind them, to catch what gold gets by above. The miner sets up his rocker near the stream and piles his gravel on the sheet iron, keeping it wet all the while and keeping the rocker in motion. The fine gol and sand sift through to the blanket, while nuggets of any size, re- main on the iron. The finer gold settles on the blanket and the dust is caught by the mercury behind the slates. The blanket is frequently rinsed in a barrel of water with mercury at the bottom, and this mercury, together with that behind the slats, is ‘‘roasted”’ as in the other method. But even this method is not used hen “sluicing’’ is possible, as epen the “reem, 5 has suficient fall. ~ cing a num ong x — ak ey mie each other Ii - A Jong line of these xes is placed at a considerable slant and the miner shoy- els hig gravel in at the upper end, lets the water run down the sluice and the gold, if in nuggets sinks and is held by he slats, or, if fine, is caught by the mercury. Three times as much gold can be washed out in this way as by a rocker, because three times as much dirt can be washed. And after the boxes are all done with they are burned and the ashes washed for the gold held by the w the various methods of and thus they are prac- tised in the ondike region, ham only by the natural conditions the country. Let us now look for a ment at what these conditions compel the Kliondike miner to do. . Let us suppose the gold-hunter has passed through the Sot joureey and e t da out and prospects u where the “‘coiors” in him to locate. parallel the creek, and 666 feet idea being to give width of the gravel from rim rock to rim rock. Most of the creeks up there have a slight fall with wide bottoms. Bedrock is anywhere from four to twenty feet below the surface and pa a is apt to extend clear down to rock. FIGHTING THE FROST. Of course, the great difficulty that the miner has to contend with is the fact that the ground is frozen solid about all the year, and even in Summer thaws only a few inches, This makes it neces- sary to thaw the ground artificially, and this is done by ‘“‘burning.”’ Fires are built on the surface and the ground thawed a little ways. This is then dug out; another fire is built in the hole, and this process is continued unt:l bedrock is reached. Then fires are built against the side of the shaft, and drifts and tunnels are thawed out. All the dirt thus taken out is piled out- side until the stream opens in the Spring. Then the sludjce boxes are set up and “the Winter's diggings washed out, Thus a miner is enabled to keep busy about all the year, This method of burning out a shaft and tunnels is by no means new, for it has been carried on for meee soars in the basins of the Amoor and na Riv- ers in Siberia, where the cenditions are very similar to those in the Klondike region. Placer apa, in Alaska differs from agg ed —— mn warmer climates only nm that the dirt has to be thawed out, and that water for washing can be ob- tained there only-a month or two in each year. And even when bedrock is reached it is in many cases filled with cracks and seams which are rich in gold and well worth the dl g out. value of explosives in this soil authorities differ. The Mining and Sci- entific Press said recently that they can be used effectively, while the Mining and Engineering Journal, king of the Siberian mines, where the conditions are similar, says their effect is simply to mat the jgroun’ together harder. For th:s same jreason, says the latter journal, the ground cannot be due with a pick and shovel until thawed out.

It is tougher than the rock waich holds it and resists abrasion better. Drawin an inference from other re- gions where placer gold has been found in large quantities, it is reasonable to expect that in the Yukon country rich gold lodes will be found. 4 And this brings us to the subject of quartz mining in Alaska, for the gold- bearing region up there is by no means contined to the Klondike country. Ac- cording to the recently published hand- book on “Klondike,” written by L. A. Coolidge, of Washington, there are in southeastern Alaska gold mines which have been worked for the past twelve ears. and which in 1895 added over £060,600 to the gold surply of the worid. Of this mining region Juneau is the centre, and its discovery is shared by Richard Harris and Joseph Juneau. In 1880 these two men started out from Sitka—it was in the sunmmmer—and in August discovered old in a stream which they named Gold Creek. Later they explored this stream to its source in a mountain valley, which they named Sliver Bow Basin. Then a town site was established at the mouth of Gold Creek, which was at first named Harris- burg. Later it was changed to Rock- well and then to Juneau, which name it still holds. This last christening took Place in 1881. The next year both placer and quartz mines were discover on Douglas Isl- and, about four miles from Juneau. These are now the famous Treadwell mines, having been bought by John Treadwe!! in 1884, and, says Mr. Cool- idge, ‘“‘from these enough ore has been taken out to pay the purchase money of Alaska and more.”" The ore of these mines averages only from $2.50 to $% a ton, but owing to the enormous scale on which they are worked and the low cost of extractine the ore there is a large profit in working them. All around Juneau and, for that matter, all aiong the Alaskan coast, gold-bearing quartz is found, and in many places is being profitably worked. | QUARTZ-MINING PROSPECTS. There seems to be little doubt among mining experts that extensive uartz mines will be located in this ukon country before long. This will mean the introduction into that country of all sorts of improved mining machinery rock drills, stamp milis and so on. Jus what method will be employed to extract the ore from the rock will depend on what kind -f ore is found. It may only have to be crushed, and separated by mereury. it may be refractory ore and have te go through some one of the various processeé now in use for sepa- rating such ore. As soon as the mines are found means of iransperting the machinery will rovided and the mines will be started. itiecs in rock, of course, will not be delayed by the weather corditions which make placer mining so 4ifficult in that country. Rock doesn’t freeze and the deeper down the mines go the warmer it will get, so perhaps this kind of mining will be the pleasanter of the two. —_——__—_- /:_ ~-----——- CHAPTER X. —_—_— oo THE KLONDIKE COUNTRY.

THAWING OUT THE DIRT. AND DUMPING. This is the river which Dr. Wilson thinks was the Klondike. From here the raft proceeded slowly down the river. AUGUST BRINGS COLD WEATHER. During August it rained a great deal of the time, making travel very un- pleasant. By this time the ming were getting towards the lower Yukon, where the weather partakes more of the nature of the coast country. The nights began to get cold, and frosts were noticed. These, however, were considered no hardship, as they kept away the gnats and mosquitoes. These insect pests seem to be the great drawback to the Summer weather in Alaska. All through Dr. Wilson's jour- nal he speaks of them as making life almost unendurable, It was very diffi- cult to keep them out of the tent, and to be outside meant to be fearfully bit-. ten. In some sections even the native Indians have to cover not only their body but even their face and hands to keep them off.

Mr. Becker reports on the ‘‘reconno.s- sance of the gold fields of Alaska.’ The mining in this district is almos: exclus- ively confined to the quartz mines, Which wield a fair return for the money invested in all instances, and are extremely productive. Mr. Be er's expedition went to St, Paul, Kad- jak, by mail steamer and there they se- cured. a tugboat of twenty-four tons, in which a journey of 1,300 miles was made. Kad.ak was circumnavigated, Chirikoff wae visited, Cook Inlet,. Turnagain Arm and Kaehekmak Bay were explored and landings were made on the Alaska pen- insular from Cape Douglas to Unga Isl- and. From Unga to Unalaska the ex- plorergs went by mail steamer. At Dutch Harbor a steamer was chartered for a brief visit to Bogoslof and Grem- ingk. The Bertha transported them from Dutch Harbor to San Francisco. According to the report the gold de- posits of Alaska are divisible into two groups: One on the Yukon River close to the Brit'sh frontier, the other along the coast from Sumdum Bay westward as far as Unalaska. Gold has been de- tected on the Kowak and the usko- kwin rivers. The direct distance from Sumdum Bay to Unalaska is about 1,200 miles, the coast line being much longer. The most. easterly mines are either on islands of the Alexander Archipelago or .on the adjoining mainland. Just op- osite the town of Juneau, on Douglas sland, is the Tredwell-Alaska mine and its extension, the Mexican. On the mainland. within a few miles, are the Siver Bow Basin and the Sheep Creek districts, Sumdum is on the mainland fifty miles to the northwest. There are also gold quartz veins on the northern end of Admiralty Island, thirty miles west of Juneau. The last district of importance in the Alexander Archipelago is near Sitka, on Baranof Island, Another group of deposits lies In the region of the enal peninsula, which forms the southeasterly shore of Cook Inlet. At Yakutat Bay there are auri- ferous beaches, and also on Kadiak Island. On this islan®? a group of gold quartz veins are now being explored and tested. The Apollo Consolidated mine is on Unga Island, 450 miles from the Kenai peninsula. Traces of gold have been found on the Alaska: penin- sula, and near Unalaska. The physical condition of the Alaskan coast is not unfavorable to mining. In spite of the high altitude the winter is not severe. The summer is never hot. The precipi- tation, however, is very great.

Gold has been found at various points east and west of the Apollo as well as to the north, and there is said to be a belt of auriferous ground extending through —_—_ oer where the line runs beyond which Is British America.

He says the volcanic belt begins on the Copper River near Mount Wran- gell and extends along the ninsula of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands to be- yond Amchitka Island, 1,700 miles. He finds that the ores are normal gold ores, except that calcite is unusually abund- ant. There is sufficient reason for con- necting their genesis with eruptive yhenomena, The deposits are so similar m position and character to those of British Columbia and California that they may be regarded as contempor- ancous. Passing to the region near Sitka, the report. says, there are Many prospects within a few miles of Sitka, most of them occurring about Serebrenmkof Arm or Silver Bay. The Thetis lies east of Sitka. A report is given of a number of mines in this locality, among them being the Lucky Chance, which is 250) feet above the sea level and far above timber. Samples of this mine assayed at $30 a ton. The Thetis in lsilly’s Basin queayes $7 in gold, The ear Vein on Uyak Bay varies from a few inches to six feet, averaging about two and one-half feet. The quartz is usually solid, and free gold is panned from the croppings. The Dan, Cala- veras, Lake Claim, Wanberg and Boyer mines are found in this district. In the placers of the Turnagain Arm gold is found mostly in flattened but coarse and slightly worn grains. It is light in color, about 0.74 fine and worth from $14 to $16 an ounce. Finds were made late in August on Canon Creek and Mills Creek, which are said to be very rich, averaging $100 a day, and many nuggets. Pay gravel was found on Re- surrection Creek and elsewhere. The gold was not enough for the rush of miners and disappointment followed. Access is difficult and dangerous on ac- count of stupendous tides, which are almost as great as those of the Bay of Fundy. For this_reason many parties went by way of Prince William Sound and Passage Canal. The Apollo Consoli- dated mine is located on tre Island of Unga, two and one-half miles west of Delaroff Harbor. A large part of the gold in this mine is in the free state, linely disseminated through quartz, One locality in this mine is known as the Flour Mill because Ore can be shov- thé island on the strike of the Apollo. Gold-bearing sands are especially abundant around Lituya Bay to Yaku- tat Bay, between 138 degrees and 140 de- grees. Gold washing is in progress on the west of Kadiak Island at Portage and on the Ayakulik River. The source of the gold is doubtless in the ranges which lie several miles to the eastward of the bluff.- Gold occurs in patches. Mr. Becker concludes his observations by saying that some new process such as cyaniding must be adopted before large profits can be made from any but exceptionally rich beach sands. a ——— CHAPTER AIlI.

THE PAPERS IN THE CASE, Alaskan history is brief. Russia claimed the country by dis- covery. Great Britain had shadowy and ill-defined claims covering portions of the same territory, arising in part out of her undisputed possession of Canada —and Canada had to have room to grow to the west—and in part out of direct right of discovery in British Co- lumbia. California was a part of Mex- ico, which was in turn a part of Spain. Up to 1824, therefore, four great powers had interests on the Pacific which overlapped in the most confusing fash- ion. Then several things happened which settled matters, or ought tu have done so. In 1824 Mexico established its inde- pendence of er In 1825 Great Britain and Rugia agreed upon the boundary of Alaska’and Brit- ish America, In the queer arrangement was renewed, giving the United States and oe fe —Fevs iG ewigs HS al - (From ‘‘Klondike,’’ by L.

This was reasonable, for Russia had occupied the coast and Great Iiritain had explored and traded in the interior, Even the British maps and charters adopted the thirty-mile line— it is thirty-four land miles—so lately as 1887, after the Canadian map-makers had begun the policy of encroachments, When Great Britain became aware of the value of the coast the Canadian maps and after them the English began to show a new line further west than the true one, and| running generally thirty sea miles ck from the edge of the islands which skirt the coast. Not content with |this, the Canadian authorities now insist that the boundary Shall run due north from Prince of Waies Island to Be Canal and follow this channel north to the 56th parallel. Notwithstanding the fact that Portland Canal is expressly named tn the treaty they would leave that in Canadian ter- ritory and carry the line up through a canal (channel) not mentioned in the treaty at all. The treaty distinctly says Portland Canal. It aiso epecifies the “wind!ngs of the coast.” Now, a range of islands have no Legge ns and they are not a coast. The obvious conclusion is that the treaty with Russia meant exactly what it said. So obvious was it that the British Hudson Bay Company long paid thie Russian Government a rental every fear for permission to trade in the in- and , waters northwest of Portland anal, , | PORTLAND CANAL THE KEY.

It is claimed by Great Britain that the canal could not have been intended by the treaty makers because it does not reach to the S6th parallel by about one mile. But the language of the treaty is: “The same line shail ascend to the north along the channel calied Portland channel as far as the point of the conti- nent where IT strikes the th dégree.”’ Any grammarian would eay that ‘line’ is the subject of the sentence, and that the “it refers to the line and not to the canal or channel, The treaty does not say the line shall run due north from Prince of Wales Isiand, but “ascend to the north" along Portiand channel; that is, run in a ee) —_ ee.

If the case goes against us it will be by thirteen years of default. ln view of this, the failure of Congress to pass legislation on the subject at the last reguiar session was a bad blunder. It is a blunder that will not be repeated. But if gold had not been found in such richness, would Canadian surveyors and map-makers have been permitted to go on sweden | their line westward a bit at a time until they had gained posession of every important harbor on the coast? THB ANNETTE ISLAND RESERVA- TION. There is one bright spot in the record of Congressional neglect. It is the act assed six years ago reserving Annette sland for the Metlakahtla Indians, It is a queer ong The Rev. Mr. Dun- can, British by birth, established the Indian village of Metlakahtla more than a third of a century ago and devotedly taught industry and deceicy as weli as religion. Eight hundred Indians lived there comfortably as Christians should. They had industries, schools and a spiendid church. i A Church of England parson, travel- ling to find something to find fault with, after the manner of some Englishmen, complained that Duncan didn’t use wine in the communion service, as the rules of the Church of England required. Duncan explained that the Indians were apt to prove fond of the taste of alcoho] if they tried it, that he didn’t allow it in town and that its use on the communion table would be both mischievous and misunderstood. But the visiting p< ey he gpa and apparently had the law on his side, for Duncan—himself then a British sub- ject—resolved to flee with ail his people for freedom to worship as he and they chose. This wmoble latter-day pilgrim came to Washington and saw President Cleveland. Congress, at his op ee ge passed a bill making Annette Island a reservation for the Metlakahtlas, and the left their houses, improvements and property and moved with their household goods to their new home. They raised the Stars and Stripes and solemnly swore allegiance to a country in which worship is free to all. AND NOW ANOTHER SQUEEZE. But if the Candian claim as to the boundary line is correct, all that labor and sacrifice were futile! Now Metlakahtla is within the strip between Behm Inlet and Portland Ca- nal, which has been generously annexed to Canada by the Candian geographers on the help-yourself principle they have all along aaee. The Indians are ha Py in their new home. They have ullt houses and pees of business better than they had vefore. They do not want to move again to be free. Mr. Duncan doesn’t want to move again either. He has been forty years a missionary, and is no longer young. But how fortunate that Congress pass- ed the Metlakahtla. Reservation act in 1891! Gen, Duffield considers the act aa of great importance in placing the Amer- ican claim on record and averting the disastrous effects of neglect. Q@uite by accident, Congress has as serted the right of the United States to at least one portion of the territory which the Canadian Government has been “annexing.” The Canadians wit make a strong case. They have spent much more money for surveys than we have. Three years ago they made a feint of surveying the Taku River and building a fort on American soil. Act- ing Gov. Charles D. Rogers swore that if it was done he'd arm every man in Aiaska and march his impromptu militia against the intruders. Rut the dogs of war were not let slip that time, nor are they likely to be. THE BOUNDARY IN THE GOLD FIELD. Fortunately there will be no difficulty about fixing the line through the gold region. The 14lst degree is a definite line fairly easy to ascertain, and though it has not yet been marked at all points it can be with no difficulty. In some places the marks of the American and Canadian surveyors differ by only about twenty feet. At c her points the differ- ence is more. In che majority of Cases there is no mark at all. Dawson City and the Klondike are un- doubtedly Canadian. Circle City, now deserted, is American. Forty Mile and Fort Cudahy, comes close to the line, are probably Canadian. A recent report of the United States surveyors says: “The whole valley of Birch Creek, a most valuable gold-pro- vsart of the country, is-.in the United States. If we produce the Mist meridian ow a chart, the mouth of Miller’s Creek, a tributary of Sixty- Mile Creek and a valuable gold region, is five miles west in an air line or seven miles according to the winding of the stream—all within the territory of the United States, In substance, the only places in the Yukon region where gold in quantity has been found are there- fore all to the west of the boundary line between Canada and the United States. Of course, that was before Carmack made the famous find on the Klondike.

It was different in California. San Francisco, then a little town, rosa as with one impulse and fell on the gold with tears of joy. Ships that an- chored in the harbor were unable to get away again, for they were deserted by their sailors with cheerful alacrity. THE GREAT FIND OF ‘#. There was no transcontinental tele- graph in those days, but the news of the discovery finally oozed over to the Atlantic coast and caused an excite- ment that is even yet remembered. It was "49! People went around the Horn on every crazy craft that couki be char- tered. They went to Panama and dared the fever of the isthmus crossing to gO up on the other side. They trailed across the plains on prairie schooners, encountering all manner of hardships. Well, as things go, California was cer- tainly a wonder, In 18% the world’s product—all the wealth of Ormus and of Ind; all the diggings of Golconda; all the golden sands of the Andes; all the slave-cursed jungles of the Gold Coast and the peoa- worked mines of Brazil—had produced only $8,000,000. In 1853 the United States alone produced, altogether by free la- bor, the enormous sum of $63,000,000, which remains the high-water mark for any natoon and for any time. No wonder the world was dazed. Prices rose as gold became more plen- liful, and there were those who seri- ous.y demanded that gold should be de- monetized because of its cheapness, Sil- ver stood for a long time at a premiuin. Piacer mining didn’t last, however, in California. It dcesn’t last anywhere. It was followed by machinery—by the quartz crusher end the hydraulic outfit. GOLCONDA UP TO DATE. Mining fell off during what might be called the transition period between the placer and the mine, but the American product never fell below $30,000,000 a year. Of late it has increased rapidly, owing t the improvement of machine.y and in part also to the fact that Colo- rado has turned from silver mining to old since the fall of the former me e firures of production for a few re cent years have been: 1893 ei ee ee Pee eee eee ST eee $33,000, 000 1893 TOC RO eeee eC Ree eRe ee eee 35, 955.000 1594 CPoereecooseced eee eee ee weer ee eeeeeee 39, 500, 000 1895 PP CH eee eee ereeeeee eee ee ee eeeeere 46,610,000 1896 +e eeeeeee ere ee 500, Ove Since the foundation of the Republic $2.113,000,000 worth of gold has been pro- duced in the United States, almost all of it from the California region.

The above table shows that all the countries that formerly produced gold are still doing so in increased quantities, and that the four great new sources— North America, Australia, South Africa and Russia—are all pouring out gold at a rapid rate. What is the gold? All sorts of crazy estimates are made. One writer gene asserted recently that the world’s total stock had been doubled in the last ten years. This is not the case. No one knows how much gold there is in the world, but here are come facts which bear upon the ques- tion: The total gold ocolnage of the world may be stated pretty accurately at about $4,2:0,000,000, The world's total product of gold from 1492 down to the present day, following Soetbeer’s estinrates for the earlier years and mint estimates for the later, ha? been rather less than $9,000,000,000 round numbers, including 1896. There is used in the arts annually—in gilding, electro-plating and @milar op- erations which withdrew gold from yee sibility of other use—probably not less than $10,000,000. The use of solid gold in jewelry and late, while not go directly a with- rawal of gold from circulation, since it can be remelted and coined, does ex- pose it to greater waste from friction and increased risk of loss. This use now amounts to about $50,000.00) a year. Even coin gold loses weight constantly from trituration, not to speak of actual loss by fire, shipwreck and carelessness. The amount of gold in the world in 1492 cannot well be estimated, though it was certainly small in compa n with the nine billlons produced since.

The standard gold coin of the United” States is .#00 pure. The British sovereign is .916 pure. Gold is measured by Troy weight, the grain being the lowest wnit. There are 7,000 gra.ns in an avoirdupolis und, only B60 rains in a Tro A ‘A “short ton” of gold woul therefore, contain 14,000,000 s and it would be worth some . e ‘‘grain” used in weighing gold was Originally a grain of wheat. The “carat,” or perhaps ‘“‘carob,”’ was the seed of the coral flower, a fine seed of even weight. Used in speaking of 2A carats means pure gold. Gold dust generally runs from $15 to $19 the Troy ounce. That brought down from the Klondike usually went not much over $16 the ounce. Gold its one of the heaviest own metals, with a s ific gravity of 19.35, Gold dust is rather less heavy, but a tin dinner pail would hold a lot of it. A cubic foot of pure gold would weigh 1,240 pounds avoirdupois. A man look- ing at it would think he could lift it, but——. It would be worth $372.0. © A gold brick ought to be worth $15,000, if about the size of the ordinary one, but something depends on whether the gold runs all the way through the brick, — The stock of gold coin in the principal nations is as follows: Per Nation.

GOLD IN TH There is enough gold in the sea, if it could only be extracted, to knock spots out of the existing financial ar- rangements and cause the demonetiza- tion of the yellow metal in no time. But it can’t profitably be extracted because the proportion is so small, though scientists have often extracted small quantities of gold from sea water by way of experiment. Gold is soluble by chlorine, forminig varous chiorides of gold. Common salt is a chloride of sodium, and is the most abundant of the earth salts -in the ocean, but other earth salts are present in smaller quantities, such as salts of mag- esla and lime, and among them is the chloride of gold—all ashed down or the land ia w ireah water slireams. ean Wy Va? & pane OS 4 # 4 “4

THE OREGON PARALLEL. The Boundary @iapuie in Alaska Very Like the One Danicl Web- ater Settled with Great Britain. We came near losing the magnificent states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota through Congressional neglect similar to that which has endangered Alaska. As in the present case, the Canadians had the better information and the more consistent settled policy. ya! hye Hudson Bay Company knew all ut the Oregon country and its value. The American Congress, until the devoted Whitman made his memorable ride for freedom, knew nothing. Gov. Pelley. of the Hudson Bay Com- pany, said in 1888: ‘““‘We have compelled the American adventurers to retire from the contest, and are now pressing the Russian Fur Company so closely,” &c. BENTON WAS NOT A PROPHET. Benton said in 1825: Rocky Mountains may be named with- Gut offense as presenting a convenient, natural and everlasting boundary to the United States. Along the back of this ridge the western limits of the Reptblic should be drawn and the statue of the fabled god Terminus should be raised on its highest peak, never to be thrown down.” In 1844 Mr. Winthrop repeated this re- markable utterance, and added: “It was well said.” ; | McDuffie of Louisiana, said in the Senate: “I would not give a pinch of snuff for the whole territory. * ° Seven hundred miles this side of the Rocky Mountains igs uninhabitable, where rain scarcely ever falls * * If there was an embankment of even five feet to be removed, I would not consent ‘to expend $5 to remove that embank- ment, to enable our population to go there. Webster said: ‘The Government is very likely to be endangered, in my opinion, by a further enlargement of the territorial surface, already so vast, over which it is extended.” BRITISH OPINIONS SECOND HAND. American statesmef?? were in that day content to take»stheir opinions of our reat Northwest second hand from Sir eorge Simpson, Governor of the Hud- s0n Bay Company, who described the mouth of the Columbia as a Bay al- ready pre-eminent among co nial ter- rors of much older fame, for destruction of property and loss of life.” Sir George knew the country. He dined privately with “Godlike Dan” and presumably in- formed him that Oregon was “‘not worth a d—n, sir; not worth a d—n.”’ The infallible Westminster Review said that ‘“‘from the valley of the Mis- Sissippi to the Rocky Mountains, the United States territory consists of an arid tract extending south nearly to Texas, which has been called the Great American Desert.” Waulace, a London barrister, wrote that emigrants crossin it take six month's provisions, and many of them die of starvation on the way.” The London Examiner said of a region eigth times as large as England: “The whole territory in dispute is not worth twenty thousand pounds to. either power.’’ The Edinburgh Review said that the resent site of Kansas, Nebraska and akota was “incapable, probably for- ever, of fixed settlement,” and that “west of the Rocky Mountains the desert ex- tends from the Mexican border to the Columbia.”’ That “Great American Desert.’”’ which used to figure in all the geograpnics was a Hudson Bay Company bogy deliber- ately constructed to dissuade Congress from holding Oregon. But for Marcus Whitman the scheme might have suc- ceeded. Up to the very moment of the Klon- dike discovery the idea of the worth- lessness of Alaska, og oy 4 cultivated in London and Ottawa, has in a similar manner prevented Congress from taking en in the Alaska boundary ques- on. The Klondike discovery has changed all that, as Whitman’s ride changed our “The ridge of the THE FIRST SCHOOL ON THE KLONDIKE. This is a picture of the first school to be started in Klondike, and it is expected to open it before Thanksgiving Day. Of course, in starting a school the first thing to consider ts the school- house, This has been attended to in San Francisco. The plans have been made by a carpenter and approved by all con- cerned. It has been sawed out and the windows and doors made, so all that re- mains to be done is to nail it together as soon as it reaches its destination. Just at present this embryo school- houge is stored away in the hold of the steamer Humboldt, and on its long jour- hey to the far north, going by the Yukon route. The teacher for this school has already been selected, and she is on the Humboldt so as to be on hand to super- intend the construction of the building. The lady is Mrs, L. C. Howland, a grad- uate of Harvard. She has had consider- able experience in imparting knowledge and fully realizes what she is going to do in the new gold fields. “The idea of teaching school ig the Klondike is not entirely my own,” said Mrs. Howland, when speaki of the matter. “‘You see, my husband is going -_-—_— up there, and when we were discussing things somebody mentioned it would be a good idea for me to start a school. The result is that we decided to carry out the idea, and at once began to get pointers from people who Knew all about the country. The school building may look a little peculiar, but it is built ac- cording to directions. There is a flat, sloping roof, so that the snow can be easily shovelled off. The windows are high above the ground. That is to pre- vent the snow from drifting over them. Everything has been considered that wilt be conducive to comfort.

There will be only one door, and that will open into a small room, through whith a door will open into the school- room.

Truly Providence watches over the Republic! THE CANADIAN ATTITUDE The Canadian public has probably known as little about the merits of the boundary dispute as the American pub- lic. The Canadian officials, who know all about it, are no more culpable than is a clever lawyer who makes a strong case out of a weak one. It will be en- tirely our fault if we let them euchre us out of any more valuable territory. Webster did not get our due for us in the Oregon boundary dispute, though perhaps at that time agreement safer than war. Fortunately in this case there is not the slightest danger or need of contest. There is no occasion for ‘‘jingo’’ rhetoric. The question will be calmly considered, referred to arbitra- tion if necessary, and decided along en- tirely peaceful lines. And the American side of the case will be closely watched = strongly presented from this time orth, The pickaxes of the gold-diggers along the Yukon have made the Alaska boun- dary question one of the burning topics of the time, KLONDIKE DUST. Odd Facts and Fancies About the New Land of Gold. A mule express is to be established be- tween Dyea and far-off Dawson City during the coming winter. The enter- prise is in the hands of C. H, De Witt was and John Roberts. Their scheme ie to lecate stations about fifteen miles apart along the whole route, and keep up com- munication by mules, carrying packs of provisions right through the winter. A 8t. Louis man, William Scharnber- ger, has obtained a patent on a ma- chine designed to overcome the dliffi- culties of mining in frozen ground, If it works well, the Klondikers will not have to build fires and thaw out the soi] to get at the gold in winter. The machine consists of a steel screw, which is worked into the ground like a post- hole auger. A cylinder of the same diameter as the screw and two feet in depth follows the scnew into the ground, and within the cylinder is a well bucket, which has an open bottom, into which the detached gravel and dirt are forced. When full, this bucket is elevated by a windlass attachment, and can be washed out and panned while the bucket is re- turned into the well for another load. The machine will weigh less than sixty unds, and two men at the ends of the evers can bore a hole into solid lime- stone if necessary. Among the women who are going to the Klondike next spring, Kuehne Bev- eridge, the famous sculptress, is to be counted. It is understood that the Dominion Government has under consideration a project in connection with the adminis- ae ee 2 " a. - tration of the Yukon district which Nis‘ novel, but appears irably calcula to meet the existing in the new communities of extreme North- west.

The Daughter-in-Law of the Secre- tary of the Treasury Is on the Way to the Diggings with Money to Invest. Mrs. Eli Alexander Gage, daughter-in- law of the Secretary of the Treasury, is at the head of a party of Klondikers, who left Chicago on the l4th inst. for Seattle. It is known as the party. It is made up as follows: Gage-Hubbard Mrs. MRS. ELI A. GAGE. E. A. Gage, William H.

W. ’ Weare, Second Vice-President of the North American Company, will accompany them as far as Dyea, but he has not yet decided Whether he will go into the Klondike. The party goes to Seattle, thence to Dyea, and thence over the Chilcoot Pass. Mre. Gage, before she started, Said: “‘We expect to get through with- out delay. At Dvyea we will have pack- ers to get our boats and supplies over the pass. From Lake Linderman down to Dawson, I think, we will meet no difficulty we cannot overcome.

It is for this reason that few old miners have come out of the mines this summer. JAMES KITE’S STORY. According to the Record, there is a man living in Juneau, named James Kite. A friend of his named Pond, jeweler by trade, packed up his tools, took a small stock of repairing supplies and a littie jewelry and left for the mines early last spring. He finally set- Ued in Dawson City. From there, under date of June 19, he wrote as foilows to Mr. Kite: .“l arrived here June 10, safely and in food health, though the journey was not a pleasant one. At the head of Lake Bennett I was left alone with my outht, but found friends in T. C. Healey and the Moore boys. With them I came jown the river.

POINTS FOR KLONDIKERS. Some Rules to Pusite In Your Hat em the Way to the New Laad of Gold. On the road to the gold diggings don’t waste a single ounce of anything, even if you don’t like it. Put it away and it will come handy when you w'li like it. If it is ever necessary to cache a load of provisions, fut all articles next to the ground which will be most affected by heat, providing at the same time that dampness will not affect their food properties to any great extent. After pling your stuff, load it over carefully with heavy rocks. Take your compass bearings, and also note in your pocket some landmarks near by, and also the direction in which they lie from your cache—t ¢., make your cache, if possible, come between exactly north and seuth of two given prominent marks. In this way, even though covered by snow, you ean locate your “existence.” Don't for- get that it is so. Shoot a dog, if you have to, behind the base of the skull, a horse between the ears, ranging downward. Press the trigger of your rifle; doen't pull it. Don't catch hold of the barrel when 3 de- grees below zero is registered. Watch out for getting snow in your barrel. If you do, don’t shoot it out A little dry grass or hay tn the insite of your mitts, next your hands, will pre mote great heat, especially when it gets damp from the moisture ef your hands. If by any chance you are travelling acroés a piain (no tra_}) and a fog comes up, or a blinding snowstorm, ether of which will prevent ou takin your bearings camp, and don’t move Tor any one until all is clear again. Keep all your drawstrings on clothing in good repair. Don’t forget to use your goggies when the sun is bright on snow. A fellow is often tempted to leave them off. Don’t you do it. If you build a sledge for extreme cold, t use steel runners. Use wooden, amd freeze water on same before etart- ing oul. Repeat the precess if it begins to drag and screech. If you cannot finish your rations for one day, don't put back any part, but put into y@mr personal canvas outfit bag. + wre : . mses qn. no + ohne ake plemMy o ow for i sibte cracks in your Seal ales twe pounds of good putty, some eanvas, and, cf Resemee, a amall can of tar or white ead. : -tstablish camp rules, especially re- garding the food.

By knowing a man’s friends you cannot only form an opinion | of his character. but with careful reasoning you can rebuild the story of his life just as Cuvier could reconstruct an extinct animal from a sing]: bone.” At this point an enthusiastic degenerate inter- | rupted to say with a self-satisfied smirk: POPULAR BUT COLD. “All my friends are distincuished poets and ar tists. now what would you infer from that?” “Oh, that’s easy,’ replied the philosopher, who} had acquired his much wisdom from much sorrow- |; ful experience and knew exactly what he was talk- ' , Silil SUNDAY, AUGUST WW, 1897.

When we went stealing apples 1 | was always the last to get out of the orchard, and it was invariably the seat of my trousers that staved with the buil-dog. “When I was a young man the war broke out, and when it was all but over and all the glory had gone to other people I enlisted.

Since then whenever I go to look for a job [ am just naturally the last man to apply, and the last man to get anything. I sometimes think that the only line that I could possibly succeed in would be horse-stealing, be- cause I would be the last man on earth that any one would suspect of having enough energy to steal a horse, but I guess my luck is going to stick to me all the way through. When the last trump blows I have an idea that I will come shuffling along after the gates of both places have been closed and will have to spend the whole of eternity: sitting on the corner of a damp cloud wondering why I was born.
