Sir Arthur Sullivan, the musician,
has invented the "Sullivan safety
shaft," a device to be attached to car
riages to save life in case of runaways
or similar accidents, by releasing the
horse from the carriage. The inven
tion, which is to be put on the market
at once, is primarily due to the death
of the late Countess of Latlioni, which
filled Sir Arthur witW a Ui w pre

"Recently, after the Bock Island
wreck at Volland," says the Kansas
City Journal, "Dr. G. H. Kittle, of
Monndridge, Mo., pnt in a claim
against the railroad for $1,920 on ac
count of gold lost. The company
thought it unreasonable that a country
dentist should be getting so much gold
at one shipment, and so it combated
the claim. Bnt Dr. Kittle proved bii
Ices conclusively, and the company
paid over the full amount" The gold
used in dentistry in the United Statet
last year was valued at $600,000.

son to retrieve their III luck by operat
ing in the Atlin and Forty-Mile dig
gings in the Yukon. Attiaotod by fa
vorable reports from the Porcupine die
trict, the mannger of the company,
Henry M. Wallace, a prominent" lawyer
ol Ann Arbor, Mich., placed a detail
of opeiatora under chaige ot Captain
Hunt, who is an experienced prospeo
tor, and sent them here to prosecute
intelligent examination ot the quarts
and placer claims in American Alaska
in this vicinity. They are also going
to give special examination of the hy
draulio propositions which are reported
favorable. In event they are success'
ful in their search they will bring in a
large outfit this season of modern by
draulio machinety and permanently
establish the headquarters of the com
pany which have large capital at
their control under the Stars ami
Stripes, and abandon the Northwest
Territory propositions, where they are
sorely handicapped by unjust ilisornn
inations and exactions. The party will
be ready to start early next week, and
are now getting their boats anil outtitr
over the trail to the Chilcat river.
Kxciteruent Runs High.
Mr. Cole, the mail agent for Porcu
pine City, brought down on his last
trip a small pile of gold dust taken
from claim No. 1 above Discovery, on
Porcupine creek. It was the partia
output of the first washout by the use
of a sluicebox ou that claim, and was
sold to S. Weitsruan for (35. Mr. Cole

astonish the nations. The water u
quite high, and only the elevated rim
rock can be worked, but as the work
progresses the claims are growing rich
er, excitement is running high and
daily arrivals of prospectors are large.
A Stamped. Expected.
Since the arrival of samples of coarst
gold from the placer mines on the Por
cupine and McKiuley diggings, th
mists of doubt that have been thrown
over that district by the "giubstakers"
who have done no active work except
to hang around the camp, "waiting
for something to turn up," have disap
peared, and a feeling ot confidence es
tablished. In fact, nothing but tli
beat of reports are being brought in
daily, and if developments continue at
they are now going on there will be a
genuine stampede inside of six weeks
Lara-. Cannery Deetroyed.
D.3." Mnnn's cannery on Bea
island. B. C, was completely destroyed
by fire. The tannery was one of the
largest on the North Arm, and general
ly bad the largest pack for that branch
ef the river. The cannery was fully
equipped with everything necessary for
the season's work and all the nets were
banging in readiness to be taken out
for the sockeye rnn. The loea on the
cannery, stock of cans, machinery,
etc., is estimated at (65,000, on which
there was only (45,000 insurance.
Btraek a Quarts Ledge.
William Eetinghonsen. of California,
who has been prospecting along the
Chilcat river tor the past four months,
struck a ledge of quartz about four
miles fiom Haines. His discovery
covers a ledge five feet between walls,
and evidently carries a large percent
of copper and gold. Mr. Estinghouspn
has followed mining for several yean
in Alaska and California, and is satis
fied that bis discovery possesses great
wealth and will take immediate steps
to develop it.
New Alaika City.
Jim McCloekey, of the Arctic, hat
returned from the Ketchikan mining
district, which he reports as a promis
ing district. "Ketchikan," says Jim,
"is going to be quite a city, as it al
ready baa one large store and about 40
bouses. The townsite is being surveyed
and the prospectors are flocking in by
the dozens. One noticeable feature ol
the district is the copper-stained ore,
nearly every sample coming from that
district being literally covered with
the stain."
Great Racing Erent
Saturday, July 1, the trotting and
running races commence at the Irving
ton track, Portland, snd will continue
until Juiy 8. Judging by the horse!
that have already been entered for the
different events, it ought to prove a
success in eveiy way. Opening day,
ladies will be admitted to thi track
and grandstand free of charge. On all
other days 25 cents admission will b
charged. This includes a seat in the
grandstand. The admission fee for
gentlemen on all racing days, includ
ing grandstand, will be 60 cents.
Good racing and popular prices will
nndoubtedly prove great drawing cards
Peacock Copper Proepeet.
Mr. Sheldon brought to Haines' Mis
sion several fine specimens of quart2
taken fiom a ledge near town. The
specimens were highly crystallized
with peacock copper and other mineral
whichr resembled gold. The specimens
attracted a great deal of attention and
favorable comment from experts. The
vein his samples were taken from is
about eight inches in width, with good
prospects of growing wider as be pro
ceeds with development work.

Freah Meat Famine.
A fresh meat famine existed at
Haines the front end of last week. A
like condition of affairs in the market
is reported as existing at kagway by
reason of the nonarrival of expected
beef oattle.

The Kromm chopmill, at Genesee,
Idaho, hits been destoyed by tire, which
is supposed to have been started in the
engine-room. At the time of the fire
some tour or five tons of chopped feed

oline engine, valued at (1,100, will not
lie a total loss, as it is believed with a
fow extras it oan be placed in running

sary; before the week was out he had
lunched aud dined at her hotel. Time
had flown for her sluce then; bright
summer days spent drifting among the
tipper reaches of tho Thames, with the
heat of the afternoon lazed away In
somo shady backwater: morning drives
to some old-world retreat among the
Surrey hills; afternoons on the lawns
at Hurliugbaui, strolling, talking, tea
drinking among the smartest In the
land, with the band of the Guards
crashing out the masterpieces of great
German composers. Interspersed with
melodies from the Casino. They had
been friends, nothing more, but eneh
day bad brought n fresh delight, and
Bhe had been happy. Now It was to
end; he had come to say, "Good-by."
"It seems almost like a dream," she
murmured; "I wonder what I shall do

The hangings Bwayed aside, and the
boy advanced with outstretched hand.
She smiled aud gave him hers without
rising.
"Sit down," she said, "and have some
coffee, unless you prefer something
atronger." ,
"Coffee, thanks." he answered, drop
ping Into a chair beside her.
She poured some, out and handed it
to him, together with a tiny box of
tortoise-shell and silver. lie laughed
softly as be opened it and saw a row
of miniature cigarettes.

"No, thank you; I prefer to see yon

He lit one of the cigarettes and puffed
away In alienee, until a blue naze had
gathered about bis head. Then he look

She leaned back, clasping her bands
behind her head, and her sleeves, fall

white as Ivory. Their glances met and
she asked again, "Why go?" .
"Because I have no choice," he an
swered. "Look hero, Madge, we've
been friends, jolly, good friends, and
God only knows bow I shall get on
without you; I will be perfectly frank,
and tell you Just how It stands. My
father, as you ' know, was a country
parson. He ought never to have put
me through Sandhurst; It was beyond
bis means I often wondered bow he
managed to do all bo (lid, but I really
knew nothing of list affairs until his
death last year. I found out then that
he never did have much beyond bis
pride, and It appeared that towards the
end be had dabbled in stocks and
shares. Well, you know what happens
when parsons walk Into bucket-shops;
there was barely enough loft to keep
the young one at Sandhurst. That Is
why I am exchanging for the West
Indies." lie looked up thoughtfully at
the smoke cloud wreathing from his
cigarette. "Of conrse I shall see some
thing of life. I have seen little so far;
school, Sandhurst, nrr outlandish depot
in the west of Ireland, and town."
"Do you want to go?" .
"One cannot always do what one
wants,"
She shrugged her shoulders beneath
the billowy lace and muslin of ber deml-
toilette, and there was another pause.
"How strange It will seem when you
have gone I shall feel quite lost by
myself.". She spoke softly, In a tone
almost Of soliloquy, watching hlin
closely to see tho effect of her words.
He made no reply, and she went on,
"When one has so few friends, It Is
bard to lose them the places are so
bard to fill." He winced at that, and a
memeutary gleam flashed in her eyes.
It will seem strange," she repented;
"l wonder If you will ever think of me
often, I mean?"
"I hope not," he replied; "I want to
forget you."
That was all she wanted; the simple
directness of the answer conveyed
more to her than any outburst of pas

TRACING SUIOIO&
Itellev.il that Uuaultubl. Diet Uoa an
Injurious Kffoct.
Dr. Hulg Is ot the opinion that sui
cide may bo traced to error In diet, tho
error being the eating ot meat, the
drinking of beer aud of tea and thu
smoking ot tobacco. Ills facts all full
comforlubly luto their places In sup
jHirt of bis hypothesis. Are there not
more suicides among men than among
women, aud do uot men consume more
meat, more beer aud more totMicco than
the women? Again, suicide Is more
common Iu Kngluud than In Scotluiid,
not apparently becuuse the Scotch are
a more canny race, but because the
English eat more ment aud drink moro
beer, while the Scotch eat less meat
aud drink whisky distend of beer. Af
ter ntalutiiliitng that sutcldu wus less
common among the Scotch, It was per
haps hardly polite, when addressing
a Scotch audience, to go on to say that
suicide increased with civilization. But
tho fact was explained on tho ground
of more Injurious diet, that of clvlllxed
man being more productive of uric
acid aud thus of suicide than that
which prevails where civilisation is
less advauccd. Uric acid Is, In fact, at
the bottom of all this, nnd, according
to Dr. Halg, the Incidence of suicide
tallies with the dally, auuunl and life
fluctuations of uric mid In the blond,
being coiiimouest when uric add Is
most abundant, namely, In the morn
ings. In spring and summer and iu
childhood and the full prime of life.
We have no doubt that errors of diet
aro resiKHislble for much, and, among
other things, for a certain uumlier of
suicides; nay, we could go further nnd
admit that tiusuJIuble diet, derange
ment of the proper relation between
nutrition and wasto and tho conse
quent loading of the tlsHUes and the
blood with abnormal products of meta
bolism have much to do with that lu
teinper and discontent which lend men

Giants ot Patagonia.
The tribes to tho cast ot the Cordil
leras, Iu southern Patagonia, belong; to
Araucaulan stock, and are a superior
race. Tho Tchuclches as they cull
themselves ot southern and eastern
Patagonia ore the people whose tin
usual stature gave rise to the fables of
the early days to tho effect that tho
natives of this region wero glnnts aver
aging nine to ten feet In height. It Is

being In the world, the men averaging
but slightly less than six feet, while

but somewhat civilized barbarians,
They are almost unacquainted with the
nse of firearms, notwithstanding some
contact with the whites, but they have
plenty of horses and dogs.
Unsurpassed hunters, they capture
the guanaco nnd the rhen, or South
American ostrich, and from the skins
of theso and other animals they make
clothes and coverings for their tents.
They make beautiful "capos," or man
tles, of furs aud feathers which are
highly prized by Europeans, and find n
ready market, most of the proceeds
being spent for bad whisky, which Is
brought Into the country In quantities,
