Seattle, WVVash Dee 30. ———E. Barring- one- of the passengers. on the steamer Alki, speaking of the situation in the Klondike, said. “There is no need of any one worry- ing over their n friendsicastarvi-ng. Of course, provisions are not plentiful, and supplies should be' taken in in 'the Spring, after which time all the provis- ions in the country will be exhausted." Speaking of the rush to file claims, “For some time before I left the Commissioner’s Office was unable to accommodate the miners, and the men stood in line for days, with the mercury 40 degrees be- low zero, in order to file claims. The biggest sensation in the way of a strike was No. 43, on Hunker. It paid $45 to the pan. .If it had not been for the ex- odusvto Fort Yukon, 100 claims would have been worked on Bonanza, E1— dorado and Hunker creeks this Win- ter." Living in Tents. S.

Good strikes have been made on Lucky Creek, a tributaiy of All Gold. Sulphur Creek is also turn- ing out well. “On the way out we encountered good weather nearly all the time,” said Fooie. “We left Dawson Nov. 21. Part of the way we threw off our coats and went in shirt sleeves and bare hands: It was only 15 below zero then. At the Chilkoot summit we encountered1 21 fearful snow storm and were lost for a time. It lasted all the way from the head of Lind‘erman to the summit. One man went ahead with' a. stick, poking it in the snow, to find the hard path to walk on. Beef and mutton at Dawson is being sold at $1 to $1.50 pei" sack, while bacon and beans brought $1 to, $1.25 per pound. There was plenty ofl sugar at 30 cents per pound. The claims are all taken within a radius of forty-five to fifty miles of Dawson.” J. D. Barnes stated that the Alaska Commercial Company and the North American Transportation and Trading Company have declined to receive any more gold for safe—keeping, as their safes are full. T. H. Mallory believes that the output next season will be be- tween $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. No Starvation. Edward Conrad, when asked if there is danger of starvation at Dawson, re- plied emphatically: “No, sir. There is not a surplus of food, but there will be no starvation.’ When asked for an opinion on the Government expedition, he said. “It is a. humbug, and I doubt if it can get to Dawson before the ice breaks. The men who came out and say that starvation lurks there are the men who Were there only a. few weeks, got discouraged, homesick, and cry starvation as an excuse for coming out.” . On Nov. 20 the English church, known as “The Klondike," was de- stroyed by fire. Two or three adjoining cabins were also burned. To Assist Mai. Rucker.

Booth-Tucker Says Mrs. Ballington Booth Is Working in the Hospital. Chicago, Dec. 30.—-Comma.nder Booth- Tucker, of the Salvation Army, who ar- rived in Chicago Tuesday night, says that Mrs. Ballington Booth is now do- ing from three to eight hours' work a day from her bed in the hospital, and that her condition never has been seri- ous. The bulletins which announced her as dying of a. broken heart, he says, are in Ballington Booth's hand- writing, and the physicians in charge have been instructed not to talk. Mr. Booth-Tucker pronounced the whole story of the cause of Mrs. Booth’s illness an attempt on the part of Ballington Booth to stir up a breeze against the Salvation Army. He had in- vestigated the story of the insult said to have been ofiered Mrs. Booth at the Willard Hall meeting in Chicago, and had found it to be entirely false. I Mrs. Booth Much Better.

Both Corbett and McCoy Upon Certain Conditions. Chicago, Dec. 30. -—-Martin Julian, on behalf of Bob Fitzsimmons. has an- nounced that the champion, in defer- ence to the wishes 'of the public, will meet both Jim Corbett and Kid McCoy. but upon certain conditions, named by him, only. In the first place, any fight must. .be for at least $10, 000 a side and , the largest purse offered. As to MC-' Coy, 'he must meet Choynski before he- is. taken on by Fitz. As to Corbett, he', must'show his sincerity by first defeat- ing some good man. Sharkey, Maher' 01' Choynski will do. Julian says that Fitzsimmons’ deter- mination never to enter the ring again was sincere; That. before his fight he made his wife a. promise to that effect. He says, further, that both he and Fitz have been for weeks trying to per- suade Mrs. Fitzsimmons to withdraw her opposition, but that they have only now succeeded. The main reason that Fitz makes the condition that Corbett fight some good man first is that he does not thinkJim is sincere in his de- sire to meet Fitz again. Julian says it took Fitz five years to drag him into the ring last time“, and they propose to have some assurancexlof. his-sincerity before the champion takes him on. Corbett Ready to Sign, . New York, Dec. 30.——VVilliam A. Brady. Corbett's manager, discussed the condition imposed by Fitz at length. He reiterated what he had said so of- ten, that thy only man Corbett will meet is Bob Fitzsimmons. . “Corbett will never fight Maher, Sharkey or Choynski,” said Brady, de- cidedly. The only pugilist he will agree to make a match with is Fitzsimmons. Jim lost the ght with the Australian at Carson City through-carelessnes. As it was, he had all the better of it up to the time he was knocked out. “Corbett is thoroughly in earnest about another contest with Fitz, and he will sign articles any time the Aus— tralian names. If he thinks Corbett is bluffing, I will post $2,500 with Dan Stuart, George Siler or Louis House— man as a forfeit for a match." McCoy Accepts Conditions. New York, Dec. 30.——Kid’ McCoy was in great spirits when he heard of the announcement that. Fitz 11 ould take him on. He at once telegraphed to his brother Homer to make the match and put up a certified check for $1,000 to bind it. He said that he was perfectly willing to meet any one in his class whom Iitz named, but \1ould prefer meeting the champion first. THE NICARAGUA CANAL. Contractors to Investigate innry to Making a Bid. 'Washington, Dec. 30.—A party of fourteen gentlemen, representing 21. number of prominent contlactors, will} Prelim- sail to-day from New York 011 the steamer Finance for Nicaragua. They will make a personal investigation of the surveys of the Nicaragua not as repiesentatives of the canal company, but simply as business men. Their purpose is to thoroughly study the canal, and if they ale fa101'ably im- piessed they will on their 1etu1'n make. the canal cOmpany an offe1 to dig and build the canal for a certain sum. They will further agree to complete the canal, so that the naval force of the United States can pass through it before they demand one cent of pay- ment. The gentlemen of this party favor the Menocal survey, but are open to conviction as to the others. They represent, among other contractors, those who are now completing the Chi- cago Canal, and also the fiim which built the Russian canal from St. Peters burg to Kronstadt. They cannot make their proposition to the government, but will do so to the canal company, who, they expect, will in time lay it before the Washing- ton authorities. .4- FREAK A LA DARWIN. Remarkable Specimen of Humanity Received in a. St. Louis Hospital. St. Louis, Dec. 30.—VV. L. Brebracht, a. remarkable freak received at the City Hospital, is regarded as a. striking proof of the Darwinian theory. Bre- brachrt was born with seven fingers on the right hand, six on the left, and only two toes on each foot. Closer exam- ination showed that the patient had bleft hands and cleft feet. His spinal column is bent in a manner unlike any- thing ever seen in a‘ human being. The curvature closely resembles that of a. horse. The shoulders are also shaped like those of a. quadruped, and indicate a. much greater adaptation to physical endurance than is possessed by the av- erage human shoulder. Brébracht does not object to exam- ination, and answers all questions cheerfully. He has inherited from his mother and her ancestors, he says, these striking evidences of man's ascent from a. lower order of being. FIRE AND EARTHQUAKE. Hoyt!

Port au Prince, Hayti, Dec. 30.—At 11 o'clock Tuesday night a fire, which as- sumed considerable proportions on' ac- count of lack of water to supply the pumps, broke out and destroyed 800 houses, including a number of ware- houses, a hotel, the Church of St. Jo- seph and its parsonage. About 3,000 persons were rendered homeless.

THE YOUNG CHAPLAIN. l'lie‘ Work He IA'cooianIShed at “’12:“ Point Among Cadets and Officers. taking tea with 'Joliii‘ C. Calhoun, then Secretary of war. Suddenly Mr. Ca1— hcun said to his""guest: . "Will you accept the place of chap- lain and prof-essOr of ethics at West Point? If you 'will, I will appoint you at once.’ . ' The clergyman was Charles P. Mc-’ ‘ Ilvaine, th: but 25 years of age, and r subsequentl known as? the “Bishop of tho.” He "accepted the appoint-' them because West Point then had an unsavory reputation:' There was not' a Christian among ofllcers Iand cadets. Many of them were skeptics and the others were coolly iind'iiferent to re- ligion. receive ' a gentleman, but no one showed the least sympathy with him as a clergyman. " For months his preaching seemed as’ words spoke-11 in the air. His first encouragement was an Offensive expression. He Was walking home from 'church one. Sunday a few feet in advance of Several ' officers. “The chaplain’s preaching is getting hotter and hot- ter, ” he heard one of them say. In a few days he received another bit Of encouragement. He was dining with a company at the house of an officer. A Lieutenant, a scoffer, hurled a bitter‘sneer at clergymen. The offi- cers threatened to 'Send the Lieutenant to “Coventry” if 'he did not apologize. He called and asked the chaplain’s pardon. ' . Another officer took offense at one of the chaplain’ s sermOna and wrote him a bold avowal of skeptical opinions. The chaplain, seeing in these inci- dents that the chronic indifference was giving way to opposition, persevered. But opposition was all the encourage- ment he received during the year. Not a cadet had visited him or even sought his acquaintance. ' But one Saturday, the only day the cadets were allowed to visit an officer without special permission one of the most popular of the cadets knocked at the chaplain’s door. He vished to begin the Christian life then, and asked for counsel. In a day or two another cadet called on a similar er- 1';2111d then another and another. Then se1era1 officers came. A meeting for prayer was appointed twice a week. It ,W? s the first public prayer meeting held at West Point. Officersand cadets crowded in, though all who came pro- fessed thereby to begin a religious life. At first it required as much courage to enter that room as it did to lead a for- lorn hope. One of the cadets was Leonidas Polk, aftc1wai'd-s Bishop of Louisiana. In— telligent, high—toned and commanding in peg-son, he was the conspicuous ca- det. Seeing that it was his duty to make a public Confession of, his faith in Christ, he asked for oaptisiu.-.._ After baptizing him' the chaplain made a. brief address, closing with a charge to be faithful. “Amen,” re- sponded I Polk, in a voice that rang through the church. The “amen” was from the heart. Immediately the baptized cadet became a missionary to his comrades. A solemnity pervaded the academy during the remaining two years .nat this clergyman served as chaplain. Half the corps became Christian men. Several of them, leaving the army, were promoted to the ministry. Many of those who entered the army rose to eminence. T'hey adorned their pro- fession and the Christian religion. This era in West.- Poin-t was created through divine Bid by a young man Who simply did his duty patiently and left the result with God—Christian Worker. a. JUEILEE STAMP. Issued by One Department of the English Gov. and “repudiated by Another; There is a. curious complication in regard to the stamps that were issued to commemorate the diamond jubilee. They were proposed by the Duke of York, were engraved and issued by the treasury department but the post- office department declined to recognize proceeds were to be devoted to the hos- pital fund of the Prince of Wales. The edition was comparatively small and the plates were destroyed by the Duke of York in the Bank of England the other day. While they. lose much of their value to collefitors because they were repudiated by the postmaster gen— eral and cannot be used for postage, it is predicted that they will be all the more precious in future years for the same reason. They are the' only stamps that were ever issued by one department of the British government and repudiated by another.—-Chicago Record.

" “Your mother, I believe, was also an author and wrote » similar books. many years she "gained a livelihood by doing to?" “Twenty." .Then, turning to the jury, the counsel said: “Gentle- men, I am ‘sure'no 'IBritishv jury will convict the prisoner upon the unsup- ported evidence of a person who comes here and tellsyou that he has for nine years gained: a. great part. of his liveli- hood by telling lies, and that his moth- er before him had followed the same calling for twenty years.” Notwith- standing the Judge’s summing up, the jury is said to have acquitted the pris- oner, probably never having heard the great n'ovelist’s name till he appeared in the witness box. ——Irish Weekly Times. TOUGH LITTLE BEASTS. Bronchos Find Their Own Feed Duringa Trip of Nearly 2,000 hIiles. Two cowboys rode into Sioux City, the other day, from Sheridan, Wyo., a distance said to be about two thou- sand miles. They rode all the way upon their bronchos for the purpose of letting the Secretary of Agriculture know the powers of endurance of those little beasts. The speed attained was about twen— ty miles a day, but that was not so remarkable as the fact that no feed was carried or obtained for them (1111'- ing the entire t1'.ip The broncho: picked their own fodder where thcv could find it along the .way, and at the end of the trip they appear ed as in; 111 as when they started.

FATHER OF PEPPERMINT INDUSTRY Germany First Recognized the Quality of Oil Made in Wayne Co. Hiram G. Hotchkiss, of Wayne coun- ty, N. Y., who has just died at the age of eighty-seven years, became famous as the father of the peppermint indus- try in Wayne County. He began life as a. storekeepcr, and 'used to receive small quar“ties of peppermint oil from the farmers. He tried to sell it to merchants in this city, but in vain. . He then sent it to Hamburg, Germany, where it was eagerly bought, and from that day the Wayne County pepper— mint has come to be known all over the world. “SOOn afterward," says the‘ Rochester Democrat, “Mr. Hotchkiss' gave up storekeeping and removed to Lyons, where he became a grower and distiller on an ex- tensive scale. Wayne County 011 became famous for its purity, and the demand for it continued to grow until the foreign product found but little sale, and that among dealers who. used it to adulterate the Wayne County ar- ticle. In 1878 Mr. Hotchkiss spent several months in Europe. He was re- ceived with great honors in all the leading cities. For many years he has been known as the ‘Peppermint King’ both in Europe and America’ " Wise Iforethought.

Ice Not a Total Destroyer. One of the most impol-tant communi— cations ever made to a Board of Health upon a milk question was by Professor William T. Sedgwick to the Massachu- setts Board of Health at its meeting last July. The purport of this was that, while ice will prevent the increase of the acid bacteria and preterit the sburing by reason of which milk becomes un- saleable, it does not prevent the in- crease of other and deleterious bacte- ria. The outcome of this investigation and report by Professor Sedgwick, if the laboratories prove it generally true is likely to be legislation which will revolutionize the entire traffic in milk, namely, in either requiring all milk shipped from such distance as to re- quire refrigeration to be pasteurized, 01' to be shipped without ice. That is, means will not be permitted which will prevent the growth of the acid, 01' what might be termed' the check of bacteria, unless measures are taken to prevent the growth of the “other sort.” NATIVE HAWAIIAN‘IWOMEN.
