II. Li Hatch, formerly captain of the
U. ri Miugbuat, Matblonia, nut fur I In
)Ht two yean captain of a bout be
longing to the Alaska Kxplorattou Co.,
running fruiu Ht. Michael to Dawson,
wrllcM W. M. Keushaw an Interest
ing letter regarding the Ope Nome
country, from which the following
exlraulaare taken. The letter wun
written at St. Michael and bears date
of gapteuilair 21:
"I have tjult the A. E. Co. for the
present, and am going to Cupe Nome
to live this winter, and hope to do so
well over there that I will not want to
siaamlioat any more In this country;
was over there a few daya about two
weeksagn, and think that the coun
try Is all right and that Nome Is going
to be the best town on earth for lbs
nut few years at least. It wu my
first visit to a real live mining town,
and I may have la-en ho intoxicated
by tbe sight of so much gold duM, and
the reports which camo in from (Vary
Hectlon of the diatrlot, thai I am not
capableof telling you ju-i what (lie
country la like, aa It would appear to a
aobac minded old- timer.
"What Impressed me miwt favorably
waa the fact tbat there is some gold to
be found everywhere that proxpectlug
baa bean done. Home of the reports
which come in are no doubt exaggerat
ed, but I saw enough to snllafy me
tbat It would i' hard to make up
lie that would beat the t ruth.
'1 saw hundreda of men wo king on
tha beach, and uot one of than was
maklujijetw, than . jtf,flO t ftey. awd
some had avcrageo rrom time in lei:
limes that amount. Hteve ANIaoo,
our old cook on the (.'orvallis; had
beeu working ou tbe beach about six
weeks, and told me thut he bad clean
ad up a little over M0 a week.
"The stretch of beach, which Is
known to be rich enough to pay nt
least $10 per day to the man, U esti
mated to lie rich from 60 to 10i ml ch .
1 think tbat there is about 30 uIIm Of
tbe beach being worked now.
"Prospecting back ou the creeks Ih
dlffloult, for tbe whole country Is a
quawoilre; It takes a strong man to
pack 60 pounds from Nome to tin'
claims on Anvil Creek, nix miles.
"Ed. llulohlna, of Nalcm, la working
at his old trade, or was when I was
Tar there, and was getting llT.Ma
day.
"Common laborers get f 1.00 per bou
and were bard to tlud when I w as over
there. My brother and I built a little
Iiouee. 18x20 feet, and did an much of
the work as possible ouraclvcs, and l he
shack cost us over fsOO. Lumbtl Is
from $100 to $1.10 per thousikiid.
"Nome people who are now here
think that prices will bo much more
reasonable next spring, but I do net
think that there will lie much dltlcr
enoe unless, perhaps, In the one Item
of lumber.
"Provisions were selling about as
follows, when 1 was over there, w ith a
prospect of being higher before next
spring: Flour $U.r0 per sack ; bacon 10
to 125 wnts ikt pound; sugar E0 cents;
tan 40 to mi ctmta; fresh beef and rein
deer meat, o0 cents to 1,M per pound,
and other things In proportion. 1 got
a fairly good hunk tu a big bunk house
for $1.00 per night, and meals from
$1.00 to $3.00, according to the state of
my appetite."

"Of all the many Ills to which the
atrical flesh Is heir," said an old
physician who has a largo cllentelo of
actors, "the worst Is stage fright This
is nothing less than a species of'honrt
disease. Induced by the nervous dread
that one's performance may not be suc
cessful. This naturally attacks begin

yet Instances nre by no means isolated
where death hns Is'cu brought about
through Us evils, even lu tho case of
old timers.
"Perhaps, however, the most peculiar
Instance of nil was that of the veteran
performer who hnd gone through 30
years of sta B work without oxpeHenc
tng this uinludy. one night, however,
he confldsd to a fellow player that a
quite unaccountable nervousness had
suddenly taken hold of him and that
he did Ml think ho could ever act
again,
"Hla comrade laughed ot the notion
and urged bin to go on, as usual, but
his astonishment may well be con
reived when tbe poor old player went
ou the Stage and, after making several
vnln efforts to speak, fell hack and ex
pired. The doctor who made the post
mortem exnmlnntlon stated that death
was due to failure of the heart's aotlon,
evidently Induced by tho presence of
an attack of stage fright
"Death is by no means an Infrequent
end to the trouble, aud more than one
caae In my own practice hns ended fa
tally. It Is not always the iierson whose
heart Is already affected who suffers
the most, either, for I recall one case
eome years ago where n young woman
whoso heart 1 knew to be perfectly
normal made her professional debut In
this city. While stnndlng lu tho wings
awaiting her tlrst cue sho was seized
with au nttack of stage fright and
trembled violently.
"Not till she heard the lino spoken
which was her signal for entrance did
she make any effort nt recovery, and
then, to tho surprise of those who
were tryiug to get her in shape, she
braced up and weut on the stage as
though she had been ou the boards
for years. She went through ber part
mechanically and without apparent
consciousness of her actions, but sho
played the scene better than she had
done at rehearsal.
"At the close of her scene she came
oft the stage, stuggered to her dressing
room and sank unconscious to tho
floor. Hhe never recovered from her
coma, and an autopsy developed tho
fact tbat sho had died of heart disease,
though I had examined Iter shortly
beforo and could find no trace of
cardiac i affection.
"Several standard authorities quote
the case of a young Kugllsh aspirant
who came to the theater on the night
of his debut in a State bordering on
wmUtrTTroSTilflTdTK ' "ue was ""Graced
up on brandy and given encourage
ment by those on the stage with htm,
but no sooner had he stepped upon the
stago than he clapped his hand upon
hla heart and tell dead. Tbe excite
ment bad nurtured the valves of his
heart aud ho had ended his career as
ho waa about to begin It
"One cudous case was told mo not
long ago by one of tho physicians at
Bloomlngdale. A young man, a mem
ber of a college dramatic club, was
brought there for treatment. Ho had
been cast for a part In the spring
production, and tills extra study, add
ed to the regular studies imposed by
the collegiate course, caused some
thing to glvo; way. On the occasion
of the dress 'rehearsal It was found
that. ho could' not remember a line of
hla part and this so worried him that
he broke down ami was brought here.
"For several weeka he could not
speak an Intelligent sentence, and
then suddenly his parti camo back to
blm,, and he could go through It cues
antlVall, without a break. For another
full week he kept going-through tbe
Hues of his part, and then, developed a
severo attack of brain fever, from
which he came out perfectly rational,
but, oddly enough, with absolutely,. no
memory of the lines of. the play In
question.
"The excitement caused by stage
fright la a most curtous thing, and did
the opportunity present 'I should like

1lls Ita Own Story.
In a pretty Wisconsin tnwn not far
from Milwaukee there Is a "spite
fence" which tells Ita own story to all
the world. It Is a high an. I 'tight board
affair and cuta off a vtVw across a
number of beautiful lawns. The man
who lives on one side of It evidently
feared that the fence would bring down
on his head the condemnation of his
neighbors. Not wishing to be unjustly
blamed, he has therefore pointed on
his side of the fence In letters that can
be read a block away these words:
"Ue built this fence. I didn't do It"
The man on the other side also had
no Idea of letting a false Impression
get out rfrordlngly he has painted
on the other side of the high barrier:
"I had to do It"
