New Yokk, July 23. The World says :
Tbe Clondyke lever has not abated a
particle. Tbe offices of tbe railroad com
panies and ticket agencies are visited by
adventurous spirits eager to seek their
fortune in the Alaskan gold fields. From
information obtained by World report
ers, thoee seriously considering making ka is a hard place to fret exercise, and it
tue trip win uu wen to postpone lueir
departure for some time. Under the
most favorable circumstances tbe work
ing days in the Yukon sold fields cannot
exceed 100 in the year. ' For tbe other
265 days the earth is covered with snow,
the ground is frozen, and the rivers
closed with ice. Anybody starting from
New York at this season would reach the
Yukon river just about the beginning of
the long Alaskan winter, and it would
be far more comfortable for him to re
main in the states and go to tbe new El
dorado at a more seasonable time. . ,
Frederick Hobart, editor of the En
gineering and Mining Journal, said :
"It would be extremely foolish for any
one to start from New York for the Clon
dyke at this season, because they can
not get there in time to do anything this
year. It is difficult, too, to get trans
portation. The Alaskan lines are not
prepared to carry many passengers. It
is easy enough to engage steamers and
get to tbe coast, but tbe difficulty is to
get from the coast inland. Much of the
last portion of tbe journey must be made
on foot. If you go by the Juneau route
it is necessary to walk over the moun
tains and then build a boat. The Yukon
river is only navigable during three
months of the year. It would be well
for those who do not know the country
to learn more about it before starting for
the gold fields."
L. Allen, associate editor of the En
gineering Magazine, said :
"Naturally I have given a good deal of
attention to reports from the new, gold
fields. I have no doubt there is lots of
gold there. I know of very few men
who are preparing to leave this city for
the gold fields. It would be folly for
them to do so at this time, anyway, as it
is too late to accomplish anything this
year." s
Up to date 84 applications for trans
portation have been made at the ticket
agencies here. . A large majority of the
applicants do not propose starting for
several months. A man who has just
returned from A'aska, where he has
been for two years, said to a World re
porter: "No one but a foolish man will start
now from New York for Clondyke. Any
that do Btart will reach the diggings to
find them covered with snow and be nn- i
able to do anything till May or June.
The talk about high wages reads well,
bnt it should be remembered there is
little work to be done in the cold climate
of Alaska at any price.
"Those who go to the gold fields will
need quite a little money and it will be
quite useless to go there without it.
There will be more of them earning less
than $5 a day than those who do. There
is an abundance of fish and game in
Alaska, but the game laws are very
stringent and are rigidly enforced. It is
an awfully tough journey, accomplished
only after hardship and expense. Alas-
The True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111.,
"Cheif," says : "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used. Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
euy can iaxe its place in our borne, as
in it we have certain and sure cnre for
Coughs, Colds. Whooping Cough, etc'
It is idle to experiment with other rem
eaies, even n iney are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

Warships at Brooklyn Preparing for
Sea Service.
New York, July $3. Orders have been
received at the Brooklyn navy-yard to
have all tbe vessels that are undergoing
repairs there ready for sea duty by the
end of the week. The vessels are to join
the ships of the North Atlantic squadron
and tbe work of making the necessary
repairs to them is being hurried.
The only ship now at the navy-yard
that will not join the squadron is tbe
Indiana. She is in bad condition and
her hull below the water line is very
ioui. l nereis no dry-dock at present
available in which to put the vessel for
needed repairs. It is said the British
government will be aeked to allow the
navy department' the use of the dock at
Halifax, as it is. the only one in which
the Indiana can be floated. This will be
the first time the government has been
compelled to ask a foreign government
for the use of a dry-dock in which to
place one of its ships lor repairs.
The new dry-dock, which was damaged
some time ago, and which is now under
going repairs, will not be ready for use
for about bix months.

New York, July 23. A dispatch
the Herald from Constantinople says
The irade which spells peace has been
issued at last. The ambassadors and
Turkish representatives were yesterday
in friendly session several hours for the
purpose of carrsing out the work in
trusted to them of settling on the best
means of carrying out the terms of peace
agreed to by the Buitan. On all sides
the strongest feelings of relief and satis
faction are displayed. Several sessions
will have to be held before the workings
of all the details can be arranged.

Disastrous Effects of - the- Storm
TonnfitowO! Ohio.
Yotxngstown, O., July 23. The storm
which struck this city and vicinity at
o'clock last night was very disastrous.
Cartheny Mayer was struck by light
ning and instantly killed.
xne jxianonoug river rose two leet in
an hour and washed away' several
bridges. Crab creek, an insignificant
stream, rose 15 feet in an incredibly
Bhort space of time, doing great damage
in1 the lower portions of thecitv. Houses
were washed away from their founda
tions and men, women and children
were rebcued from second-story windows,
a bathtub being used in lieu of a better
craft. Squaw creek Park, near the'city,
was practically wiped out of existence,
Trains are beginning to move after 12
hours' delay.
Tbe estimated loss to this city alone
approaches $100,000. The storm was
local, in many respects resembling a
cloudburst, the people being given little
warning. s
" Great loss of life was narrowly averted
at Spring Common foot bridge. Men,
women and children insisted on remain
ing to watch the angry waters below in
spite of the feet thrt the structure was
unsafe. Finally two policemen with
drawn clubs cleared the bridge, and a
few seconds later the bridge .was swept
away. v
Reports from the rnral districts show
that the farmers suffered greatly. In
Trutnbell county 15 barns were, struck
by lightning and burned. Crops were
destroyed and buildings generally dam
aged, bnt no loss of life is yet reported.

Unappreciated Kindness of a Considerate
Old Gentleman.
About four o'clock the other after
noon a half-dozen members of the Tioga
wheelmen started from the clubhouse
for a spin doiVn to Point Breeze, says
the Philadelphia Record. As they
curved their wheels out ofsVerantrs)
street arid into Broad street a tall, portly
and pompous man of middle age, and
with mustaches waxed a la militaire,
stepped out into the roadway, and in a
voice full of command yelled: "Stop!"
The cyclists instantly dismounted.
"What's the matter?" inquired one.
"You've got no lamps on your wheels,"
said the pompous man. "Why, you must
have wheels in 3-our head," replied one
of the riders: "we don't have to carry
lamps in daylight." "Say, are you a bir
cycle cop? Where's your star?" asked
another wheelman. "I beg your pardon,
gentlemen, if you took me for a police
man you owe me an apology. Out of
pure kindness I stopped you to call
your attention to the fact that it will
be dark in a few hours, and I should hate
to See such nice looking fellows run in
for riding without a light. By the way,
gentlemen, I am introducing a new and
improved bicycle lantern, warranted
not to go out in the stiffest wind or
over tbe roughest road. Throws a
brilliant " "ComeVff! Is that what
you stopped us for?" Certainly. I can
show you testimonials " Scat! Scat
ter! You're occupying our air!" and
'away the wheelmen went down Broad
street.
