Beneficial Regnits of the Rigid Enforce- ment'of Existing Statutes. ~ Pom: TOWNSHEND, Wash, Jan. 19.— From latest Alaskan advices it is apparent that the formin- lawless spirit prevarent in the territory is being supplanted by a wholesome .respect for law and order sad for the district court, which has just fin- ished the first winter in Juneau. Concern- ing the indictment .of Joseph Murray by the grand jury for libel The Mining Rec- ord says: - “Mr. Joseph Murray, late fish commis- sioner for Alaska and special treasury agent, saw fit in his last annual report to impugn the motives and integrity of our court, and this action of the grand jury will afford an opportunity to substantiate his words or to crawfish his way out of the predicament into which he has permit- ted his prejudices to lead him. All Alaska is indebted to United States Attorney Benney, Clerk Rogers and Marshall Wil- liams for the‘ able support which they have rendered Judge Delaney in his efforts to kill the germs of crime with which Alaska seems of late to have become inoculated. Every one seems to have been actuated by no purpose other than a conscientious per- formance of the duties imposed, and that they have succeededis not to be gainsaid. The manifest determination of the court to maintain and enforce the laws as they stand has won the applause oféhe judge’s friends and the respect of his e_emies, and it is to be hoped that the good work so well begun may not be suffered to lapse, but may be prosecuted to a finality. “No better method could be adopted for bringing about the enactment of whole- some legislation than lies in the rigid en- forcement of existing misfit statutes. If these laws be disregarded and be permitted to become a dead letter upon the statute books, they will remain so forever. It will require hard work and plenty of it to se- cure substitution of better laws, but Judge Delaney has pointed out a way and opened the gates, and it remains only for the peo- ple of Alaska to act in concert and in unity of purpose to secure the remedial leigslation which has so long been un- availingly sought. ” Alaska and Puget sound merchants and the steamship companies are preparing for an influx of 10,000 to 15,000 miners into Alaska this spring. Last-year about 5,000 men went north in search of wealth. The success of many of these, , coupled with strikes made on Cloudy creek, a tributary of the Yukon, late last season and system- atic advertising now being done, is hav- ing the effect of attracting gold seekers from every part of the country. STRICKEN BOMBAY. The Situation Growing \Yorse—Tho Un- sanitary Condition of the City. BOMBAY, Jan. 19..—The situation is growing rapidly worse, and the exodus from the city on account of tho bubonic plague continues.

VALETTA, Island of Malta, Jan. 18.—- Twenty days’ quarantine has been declared against vessels arriving here from Bombay. LONDON, J an.” 18.—The weekly official report of the famine conditions in India says that about an inch of rain has fallen from Peshawar to Lahore, about half an inch at Bilespur and the central provinces, about a. third of an inch at Bikenir and light showers elsewhere. Prices have fall~ on very slightly in Madras, Bombay, the Punjab andlBurma. The Daily Mail’s Bombay correspondent says: “In the Banda district the famine conditions are harrowing.

T nan vn NI n on A z E ii a 'BAD roe, LBADVILLr. til the Great Minés In Carbonate, Hill May Be Flooded." _ LEADVILLE, Colo. Jan. 18.—The crisis in the trouble which Leadville has under- gone since last J une has been reached, and I. calamity far.worse than the strike of the metallic miners here has overtaken the camp. For the first time in 15 years the immense pumps that have drained the big nines on Carbonate hill, the wealthy cen- ‘zer of ,Leadvillc, have been pulled out, while the pipe lines connecting are to be removed at once. The Maid-Henrctte pumps had a capacity of 1,300 gallons of water a minute, and depending upon this were nearly all the great mines of Carbon- ate hill. . How long the mines affected by this move can hold out is merely a matter for conjecture. There are’niiles of workings in Carbonate hill, and those will probably fill up slowly, so that down workings may not be reached by the rush of water for a. month or two. It is, however, only a. question Cf time, and a month will un- doubtedly find many mines idle as a. re- sult of the floods. ~ A prominent mining man said that it was his opinion that the pumps would never again be placed in the Maid property even if the strike was settled. Indeed, if there is any settlement made with the end in view that the pumps would be replaced, iii-would have to come very soon, for With- in a week the Maid and the Henrette would be so flooded that it would be impossible to put the pumps back or even to get into the stations. DOUBLY WEDDED. Fix-Mayor Magowan Defies His “Political Enemies and False Friends." PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 18. — Ex-Mayor Frank A. Magowan of Trenton and his wife, who was formerly Mrs. J. A. Barnes, together with the child of the latter, are stopping at the'Hotel Walton in this city. They have been here for some time, but will be at their Trenton 110.10 after today. Mr. Magowan declined 60 say anything about the amount paid Mr. Barnes for the settlement of the latter’s $100,000, suit for alienation of his wife’s affections. He, however, gave out the following statement: “Mrs. J. A. Barnes and I were married at Milwaukee immediately after her di- vorce was secured last June, I having re- ceived my decree the previous March. We were remarried yesterday by the Rev. W. A. Hunsberger in this city in order to do- fcat any attempt that might be made by my too active political enemies and false friends, who have demonstrated in the past only too clearly their inclination to interfere in my family afi‘airs. ” Found a.

J., Jan. 18.—logs assert ad that while working Friday on an old building on the Hayes property, about two miles from Port Elizabeth, Somers Cole, a carpenter, found a snug fortune secreted The fortune was found in a long box and was in the shape of bonds, mortgages, gold and silver 3 coin and rolls of paper money.

MONTEREY, Mexico, J an. 18.—The re- form laws of Mexico regulating and re- stricting the Catholic church in this coun- try have always met with stong opposition from the church officials. They must hereafter, however, be strictly obeyed, as Archbishop Averardi has issued written instructions to every Catholic church in Mexico to that effect. He also calls upon the church to give President Diaz’s ad- ministration its support. Archbishop Av- erardi came to Mexico six months ago di- rect from Rome for the purpose of investi- gating church afi'airs in this country. Shot Three Men Dead. BELLAIRE, 0., Jan. 18.—A triple mur- der occurred late last night at Flat Rock, W. Via, a few miles south of here.

"it Is Said That New York and Penn- " sylvania Will Not Be In It. HANNA DECLARES HIMSELF. He Will Annouce His Candidacy For the Senate and 'Mako an Open Fight For the Seat, but Bush- nell May Thwart His Plans. Governor CANTON, 0., Jan. 18.—Apropos of the visit of Senator Quay and Senator Elect Penrose of Pennsylvania to President I Elect McKinley it is said that Pennsylva- . nia, and New York as well, is doomed to l disappointment in the matter of furnish- ing planks for the cabinet. Senator Quay, when seen at his hotel after his interview with ,Major McKinley, did not present the appearance of a. thor- oughly satisfied man, and there was some- thing in his manner which indicated dis- appointment, although both he and Mr. Penrose said they had had a very pleasant conference with Major McKinley. “Only President Elect knows,” said Senator Quay when asked directly whether Charles Emory Smith would be invited into the cabinet. The senator also said that a part of their miss Sion here was to talk over the interests of Governor Hastings as a cabinet aspirant, but would not say what particular office they hoped for. He said: “Our conference with Major McKinley was confidential. I have nothing to say for publication.” The present indications are that Pennsyl‘ vania will not furnish a name for the ofii— rial cabinet slate, and it' is very possible that New York for similar reasons will share the same fate. It is next to impossi- ble to find an eligible man in either com- monwealth who would not antagonizeono or another of the factions. Laying aside all other considerations, the 'situation in the senate is such that the administration cannot afford to take any step that would render one or more senators cold or luke- warm. On thc other hand, Major McKin- ley’s personal and political friendship for Charles Emory Smith and other Pennsyl- vanians of his side of the house is such that he will not willingly offend them or take an important step against their wishes. No Pennsylvanian suggested seems to be entirely free from factional entanglements. New York presents a. number of names with the recommendation that they are not so arrayed on local issues as to arouse factional strife, but so far investigation has cast a cloud over most of these recom- mendations. Andrew D. White for the treasury, John A. Wise for attorney gen- eral and General Horace R. Porter for the navy are New York names in current gossip. It is also said that Senator Elect Platt will be one of the important callers at the McKinley home and that he comes to'canvass the New York situation. Major C. F. Dick of Cleveland, repre- senting Mark Hanna, called on President Elect McKinley yesterday to discuss the senate vacancy soon to be creatfil by the resignation of Mr. Sherman. Mr. Hanna is extremely anxious to secure the seat: but, according to Major Dick, no under- standing has been reached with Governor Bushnell, who can appoint for the unex- pired period of Mr. Sherman’s term. It was the lack of such an understanding that led to Major Dick’shurricd visit. gies to bring about the desired result, and his private secretary, Mr. Boyle, who was appointed police commissioner of Cincin- nati by then Governor Foraker, has posted ofi to Cincinnati to argue with the junior senator on the wisdom of having Mr. Hon- na succeed Senator Sherman. Politicians bore believe that Governor Bushnell will call an extra session of the general assembly instead of filling the va- cancy by appointment. The present legis« laturc elected Forziker and left to its own devices would be likely to choose Governor Bushnell himself. HANNA FOR THE SENATE. He Will Announce His A Candidacy and Make an Open Fight. CLEVELAND, Jan. 18.—The Press says Mark Hanna will announce himself as a candidate for United States senator. He made this admission yesterday to ex-Con- gressman Henry L. Morey of Hamilton. who came to Cleveland as the accredited representative of Senator Joseph B. Fora- ker. ‘ . “I will announce my candidacy,” said the national chairman, “and I believe I am capable of winning the fight alone. I believe that I am entitled to the place." . Colonel Morey was closeted with Mr. Hanna for an hour. When Mr. Morey left the chairman, he was questioned by a re- porter and said: “I believe that Mr. Han- na will announce himself as a. candidate to succeed Senator Sherman in the United States senate, and I believe that Governor Bushnell will appoint him to that posi- tion. Governor Bushnell will, I feel cons fident, dislike to do this very much, for I believe he would himself like to be suc- cessor to Senator Sherman, but neverthe- less I believe he will do it. “There will be no deal, whatever may be the outome of Mr. Hanna’s candidacy. I am sure that there has not been and will not be any deal with Foraker or Bushnell. Mr. Hanna’s candidacy will be open and above board, and I believe that he will win solely because Foraker will bow to the very evident sentiment of the people of this state and the United States." “Mr. Morey, are you affiliated with either faction in this state?” “N o, I am not. I am a. good friend of both .Mr. Foraker and Mr. Hanna.” When Mr. Hanna’s attention was called to the statement made by Mr. Morey,- he flatly refused to discuss the matter. Long May Be In It. HINGHAM, Mass, Jan. 18.—Hon. John 1). Long has returned to his home here ”from his visit to President Elect McKin- ley at Canton. Mr. Long was yesterday seen by your Correspondent, to whom be granted an interview. When asked if he was to be a member of President McKin- ley’s cabinet and in what capacity, he re- plied: “It is a matter for future consideration whether he will desire my services or whether I should be inclined to accept any position. I presume if anything were of— fered it would be either tho. secretary of war portfolio or the secretary of the navy. ” Killed While Skating.

While One Panther Was :Caught in flu Trap the other Remained to Comforo, A- story is told about a panther that was trapped by Luke Anderson, who has a small ranch in the Smut Creek Valley of the Big Horn Mountains. Smut Creek is a small stream about five miles long flowing through the ranch from a series of springs up among the mountains. Near one of these springs Luke set his trap, a big steel affair weighing seventeen pounds, and usually used for big bears. He went to the trap on four succese- ive days, but found that nothing had disturbed it. He skipped the fifth day. On the sixth day, when he approach- ed the trap from stream, he heard a groaning sound and the rustling of leaves. He peered over a rock at the place he had set his trap. The place had been disturbed some- what. Every small bush within five yards was torn up by the roots. No trap or beast was in sight. Luke looked about quickly. He could hear the groans, and they sounded uncom- fortably close. ' On the far side of the rock behind PERFUME!) BUTTER. :‘fio Sew Indulgence of the Royal Family and the Rich Set in London. Perfumed butter, on the dinner table is the fad of royalty and of the very rich in London. The dairies where this butter is made are as odorous as a Iiorist's shop or the laboratory of a per-:.:mer. On all sides there are flow. are and jars of leaves, pressed and loose. At first glance it might be supposed that the butter receives its subtle odor by working it with some sort of es. sence. But this is not the case. In the first place the butter is made in small pats like those in ordinary use. Each pat is wrapped in a. bit of fine muslin and placed on a bed of rose leaves specially prepared in an earth- ern jar. On top another layer of the fresh and delicate rose leaves is placed before the jar is filled with a solid chunk of ice. Then the jar is placed in a refrigerator and‘ allowed to re- main there for ten hours, when the pats are ready for the customer. ‘ This is all there is to i but, simple as the idea is, it has ma e for its dis coverer a fortune, and he is now per- mitted to announce that he is “by which he was Luke saw the tips of Luke slid out of that quickly. He backed away with rifle cooked and made a detour of sev- eral rods. Then to his surprise he saw, not one, but two panthers. One of the two had its leg in the trap. The other-was beside it, licking down the trapped one’s neck tenderly, as an old cat licks a kitten. The wounded one was groanin". Luke shot the untrapped one and then killed the other. He found that the trapped animal was a male, with an ugly face. The other was a sleek- eoated female. 9 Pianos that Catch Cold. Half the pianos of this country catch winter colds exactly as we do. They get hoarse, or have a cough, or a stiff note, or some similar complaint which requires tedious and expensive doc- toring. ' In order to prevent these avoidable ailments a piano should be kept in a moderately warm room“, where the temperature is even, say 60 or 70 de- grees, the year round—not cold one day and hot the next. The instrument should not, however, be too near the source of heat. It should be kept closed, and covered with a felt cloth when not in use, particularly in frosty weather. Always place the piano against an inside wall, and a little out from it.—- From Answers. ., Pictured as He Died. An extraordinary photograph is that taken a few days ago of the execution of a Seminole Indian inJhe Indian Ter- ritory. This is a picture which shows a man at the instant of his death. Death in this instance was almost as ' quick: as the camera, for the man was shot in the heart, and died, as it is sai 1, “instantly.” The method of exe- cution was peculiar. The prisoner, who had been con- demned for murder, was taken out to the foot of a tree and seated upon a small rock. A large, white heart had been cut from some calico, and this had been carefully stitched upon his coat just over the heart. This made an unmistakable mark for the executioners to fire at. There is no other photograph of this kind in ex- lstence. for pictures of death scenes are rare. . - Lures for Catfish. The catfish is very much like the owl in its habits. It is only on rare occasions that the angler’s bait is tempting enough to lure the wary eat- fish from its haunts in daylight. . The catfish abounds in nearly all the inland streams of this country.

It is a dynamo. attached to a long wire containing ’one or more incandescent bulbs. These bulbs are thrown in the stream and the current turned on, and the fish -_collect around the light. , " i How They Worked. “Here y’nre now; two packages for ten cents!” yelled a seedy-looking en- velope 'peddler. ‘ “Here y’are;- this way; two packages for five cents!” howled another envelope peddler, al- most crov’vding his fellow merchant off the sidewalk.
