March 4.——Passengers
on the steamer Islander, which has just
reached here from Skaguay, confirm
the report that the Canadian flag has
been raised at Summit Lake; also that
the Canadians will establish a custom
house at Crater Lake. Martial law
has been declared at Skaguay, and the
United States troops who went up on
the Queen are enforcing law.
The attempt to float the steamer C0-
rona has so far been a failure. Capt.
Goodall has gone with divers to make
an examination of the Cottage City.
The death rate at Skaguay averages
fifteen daily, one of the latest victims
being the postmaster. ,
It is also stated by passengers on the
steamer Islander that the Dyea trail is
strewn with dead mules.
Victoria, 13. C.,
Gold-Laden Klondikcrs Perish.
Victoria, B. C., March 4.—'I‘he steam-
er Islander, from Alaska, brings word
that several days ago two Canadian
mounted police came into Skaguay
with two sleds in tow, on which were
strapped two dead men.
The attention of the mounted police
at Tagish was attracted by the dismal
howls of a dog. After a short search
'they found the bodies of two men who
had been frozen to death. It is said
they were returning Klondikers and
had in their possession $100,000 in paper
and in gold dust. Their names- are not
known.
The Clara. Nevada’s Condition.
Seattle, lVash., March 4.—A letter has
been received by the owners of the ill-
fated steamer Clara Nevada, from
Sanderson Reed, of Portland, who was
sent north to search for the body of
his friend, Purser George Foster Peck.
and for the bodies of other
of the crew and passengers.
Reed says in his letter that the wreck
has slipped partly off the rock and at
high tide is about 24 feet under water.
The masts of the steamer are still
standing. As far as he could ascertain
there is a big hole in the vessel’s side,
but the boilers are apparentiy intact.
From people at Seward. Reed learns
that a terrible gale was blowing at the
time the fire on the Clara Nevada was
observed. As far as they could tell,
the fire started in the ordinary. Sud—
denly there was a flash and all was
dark. This {lash was supposed to have
been the explosion of the boilers. but
teed says that it probably came when
the oil stores for the steamer‘s lamps
and engines exploded.
REINDEER lN CHlCAGO.
Will Be Hurried to Alaska. as Climate
Doesn’t Agree ‘Vith Thom.
Chicago, March 4.—Two train loads
of reindeer and Laplanders, brought by
the Government to be used in Alaska
expeditions, arrived yesterday. They
cost the Government $50,000 to get them
in Norway. The freight to Chicago was
$10,000. A rumor was started that the
Government had abandoned the pur-
pose for which these reindeer and their
attendants are intended, and that the
whole outfit would be left in Chicago.
A. C. Bird, traffic manager of the Chi-
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Railroad.
said that even if they were not wanted
they won‘ld be rushed on to the Pacific
coast and Alaska. They could not live
here more than a short time.
P. B. Weare of the North American
Transportation and Trading Company
was asked if his company would have
any use for the animals in case the
Government abandoned its project. He
declined to answer, and also declined to
say whether his company had made the
Government an offer for the herd. He
simply said he had no interest in them.
Reindeer to Be Sold.
Washington, March 4.——The Senate
Committee on Military Affairs has
agreed upon a. bill directing the sale of
the reindeer and supplies purchased by
the War Department for the relief of
the miners in the Klondike who were
supposed to be starving. The bill has
not yet been drawn up, but an agree-
ment has been reached on its general
provisions, and it will be reported to the
Senate shortly.
The decision was reached after a
thorough investigation of the subject,
and is in line with the opinions of the
Secretary of War and Generals Mer-
riam and Rucker, commanding the de-
partments having the matter in charge,
and of persons who have returned from
the Klondike, to the effect that no
danger from starvation exists now»
The Interior Department made a. re-
quest that the reindeer be turned over
to them, but the committee thought it
'were better the reindeer be sold.
M’ayor of Springfield Dusted.
Springfield, Ohio, March 4.—-—The Cir-
cuit Court yesterday issued a decree
ousting Mayor John M. Good from of-
fice. The proceedings were brought
under the Garfield Election law, which
requires candidates after the election
to file sworn statements of all their ex—
penses.
Judge Adams said the testimony
showed that Mayor Good spent $283.50
in the campaign which he failed to in-
clude in his sworn statement of ex-
penses, stated to be only 845. Of the
first—named amount $91 was spent for '
beer.

CHAPLAlNS IN THE NAVY.
“much of tho Service About Which Little
is Known.
Beyond the main fact that a clergy-
man is always to‘be found on board
a mun-of—war the public knows hardly
anything of chaplains in the navy.
This is not due, however, to the un-
importance' of the corps. At present
every chaplain with a single exception,
is actively employed either on a. man-
of—war or at an important shore sta-
tion.
There are but twenty-four chaplains
in the entire service'a'nd acquaintance
with the personnel of the corps leads
one to believe that the standard of fit-
ness has been kept high by the ap-
pointing power. The regulations re
quire that an applicant as chaplain be
between the ages of 21 and 25 years
and a minister in good standing in
his denomination. In addition to
these qualifications
the hearty and unequivocal indorse-
,ment of high ecclesiastical authorities,
who are Willing to assume a good de-
gree of moral responsibility for the
appointment. Political influence of a
high order may be used to bring the
applicant to the attention of the
President and Secretary of the Navy,
but can avail very little beyond this.
The chaplain, once appointed, ranks
as a commissioned oflicer of the staff,
messes in the wardroom when on ship-
board and is entitled to a private
stateroom in the vv-ardroom quarters.
He wears no uniform and in this
is the sole exception to the rule which
obtains on all the ships of our navy
and applies to all officers an enlisted
men, from the admiral of the fleet to
the humblest mess attendant. Noth-
ing invidious is involved in this dis-
crimination and it is to be presumed
that if a majority of the chaplains
were to ask for a. uniform it would
be granted. The chaplains as a. rule
dress in ordinary clerical suits, the
coats close buttoned and in blouse or
frock, according to circumstances. In
conducting divine service each chap-
lain is permitted to employ the order
used in his own denomination and may
also use the vestments of his church,
if any—Chicago Chronicle.
Shaved Cat Gave Herself Away. '
A man in Paris has been making a
good deal of money exhibiting a curi-
ous animal in the cafes chantant and
such places. It was a very queer lit-
itle animal, and the alert Parisians
were willing enough to drop the petit
sou for a sight of it. Still, look as they
would, none could determine the crea-
ture’s species. It was interesting, but
it was baffling, and the exhibitor coin—
ed money. One day, however, a dog
chanced to follow a. curious beholder
Immediately
the wondrous animal humped its bacx
like a diminutive camel and began to
hiss and spit! The mystery was solv~

THE Au'nouFrv OF ICE CREAM.
First Introduced into Paris in 1771~ma
Called Iced Butter.
Ice cream is an older sweetmeat than
many would suppose. In the begin-
ning of the seventeenth century goblets
made of ice and also iced fluit, i. e.,
fruit frozen over, were first brought to
table. The limonadiers, or lemonade
sellers, of Paris, endeavored to increase
the popularity of their wares by icing
them; and one more enterprising than
the rest, an Italian named Procope.
Couteaux, in the year 1660, conceived
the idea of converting such beverages

entirely into ice, and about twenty
years later iced liquors, i. e., liquors
changed into ice, were the principal
things sold by the limonadicrs. By
_‘the end of the century iced .'liqu01s
. were quite common in Paris. Ice cream,
or iced “butter, ” as it was first called
from its supposed resemblance to that
substance, soon followed. It was first
known in Paris in 1774.
The Due de Chartris often 1'Went at
that time to the Paris coffeehouses to
drink a glass of iced liquor, and the
landlord having one day presented him
'with his “arms” formed in edible ice,
this kind of sweetmeat became the
fashion. ——Gent1emau’ 5 Magazine.

His Attentivo Audience.

i—Iis reputation and the society that
:ngaged him' brought together an au-
lience composed of the best peOple of
she neighborhood. After the lecture,
when people met, it was the ’proper
thing for one to ask the other:
“Were you at the lecture?” and the
inswer in every case was: ‘
“Oh, yes! I was there, but I didn’t
war a word. Did you hear the lec-
:ure?”
“Well, no! I was
.ouldn’t hear, either.”
A friend who met the novelist a
law days after his visit to the subur-
oan town asked him what kind of au-
lience be had and how he liked the
town.
“It’s a fine place,” was the reply,
‘and I had the most attentive au—
iience that I have ever spoken to. No
one made a sound, and I didn’t have

Down in Mexico there lives a wood-
pecker who stores his nuts and acorns
in the hollow stalks of the yuccas and
Magueys. These 'hollow stalks are
separated by joints into several cavi-
ties, and the sagacious bird has some-
how found this out, and bores a hole
at the upper end of each joint, and an-
other at the lower, through which to
extract the acorns when wanted. Then
it fills up the stalks solidly, and leaves
its‘stores there until needed. safe from
