A STORM-SWEPT PASS.
Edgar A. Ulmor Describes the Sninmlt
of Chtlcat Pass.
In corroboration of Eastman's descrip
tion of the blizzards and whirling snows
be bad witnessed tearing across the Chil
cat pass, the following excerpt from a
letter of Edgar A. Mizner, of San Fran
cisco, is given. It is descriptive of his
experience on the pass.
. "But the summit of Chilcat pass!
That's the place that pats the yellow
fear into many a man's heart," writes
Mizner. "Some took one look at it,
sold their outfit for what it would bring
and turned back. The pass is over the
ridge that skirts the coast. It is only
about 1300 feet from base to top, bat it
is almost straight up and down a sheer
steep of enow and ice.
"There is a blizzard blowing there
most of the time, and when itis at its
height no man may cross.' For days at
a time the summit ia impassable. An
enterprising man named Barns lias
rigged a windlass and a cable there, and
with this he hoists up some freight at a
cent a pound. The rest is ported over
on the backs of Indians.
"We were detained 10 days awaiting
oar turn to have oar outfits carried over
and for favorable weather. The miser
able ruosting-place was called 'Sheep
fomp' so called, I think, because no
animal except one with a brain like a
sheep would ever consent to be seen
there. The wind howled continually
and the snow fell most of the time, and
we bad to use much force in persuading
our tent to stay with as.
"Bat at last come a fair day, and with
the aid of 12 Indians we lugged our out
' fit to the summit.. We' began work at 5
in the morning and had everything on
top by noon. In this we were very lucky
as many have been many days doing the
same thing.
"Once on top we bad before as a
-downshoot of a quarter of a mile at an
angle of say 45 degrees. All we had to
do was to pack everything on the two
. sleds, turn them loose and put our. trust
in the Lord. An instant of flying snow,
and oar sleds shot oat on the frozen
surface of Crater lake. Others were not
so fortunate. Many sleds upset or ran
off the track and were buried many feet
deep in the enow.
"On Crater lake we loaded just our
camp outfit on one sled and "cached"
the other with the rest of the equipage.
We then started, double team, down the
15-miles to Lake Licderman and the
timber lime. While this was mostly
down grade, we found many up-hiil
palls; so it was after dark when we made
camp on the edge of the lake, and you
never saw two more tired or broken
down adventurers in all your life. Yoa
who sit in the club behind clinking
glasses have no .idea what the word
"tired" means.
"We rested the next day a regular
Mizner rest cure, and on the following
morning at 2 o'clock started back to
Crater lake after our cached sled. Day
. light peeps in about 2 in the morning
now, and it is not dark until 10 at night.
"After going about three miles op a
dark canyon, a whirling snowstorm
Btruck us. But having risen at such an
unconscionable hour we would not torn
back. Our pride was near the end of us.
I hope I may never experience sncn an
other day. The air was so filled with
Bnow that at times it was impossible to
see 10 feet. It was all we couid do to
keep our feet against the wind which
bowled down the mountain. My beard
became a mass of ice. The trail was
Boon obliterated and we were lost. Bat
- we stumbled on, and by rare chance we
came upon the handle of a shovel which
marked our cache.
"There was nothing to do but fight
oar way back to camp. .The storm .did
not abate in the slightest. In fact, it
raged for four long days. It was nearly
dark when, with knocking knees, we
got back to camp more dead than alive.
The next day 10 men made up a party
to go on the same trip, going back for.
their outfits. The day after that they
were found huddled in a hole dug in a
drift, eating raw bacon."
To Secure Worden's Pardon.
Caicaoo, July 26. Mrs., Mary G.
Jones, of California, who is known in
labor circles as the "mother" .of the
American Railway Union, ia in the city
on her way to Washington. She is
going here for the purpose of interceding
with President McKinley in behalf of S.
- D. Worden, who is sentenced to receive
be death penalty fur certain acts per
formed during the labor riots in Cal
ifornia in 1894.
President Cleveland recommended
Worden's pardon. Governor Bndd has
granted a stay of execution on Pres:dent
Debs' ; appeal until a decision i"in be
rendered by the supreme con: t of the
United Slates. Mrs. Jones is strongly

INSECTS IN MEXICO.
A Town "Where Deadly Ant Terrify the
People. "
In Guerrero the tarantula is some
times found there as big as a man's two
fists. Scorpions are of all sizes, but the
one which does the most harm by its
bite is a smallish gray creature. The
larger ones bite so hard that the blood
flows freely, and the infected poison
flows off. There is a little snake called
the corallilo, which is particularly fond
of getting indoors and nesting in one's
boots. Its bite is fatal. Boots should
always be inspected for corallilos be
fore they are put on in Guerrero. If
a scorpion creeps on the face or hands,
the person so visited should carefully
refrain from making any movement;
he should allow the horrible insect to
crawl just where it will. If it is not
disturbed, in all likelihood it will do no
harm; if it is attacked it is quite sure to
sting.
The worst terror to the people of
Guerrero, says the Boston' Herald, is
neither snakes nor scorpions, but the
red ants. Before these insects the peo
ple flee in terror from their .houses.
They leave nothing behind if they can
help it. An Indian woman rushed out
of her cabin with her children on the
coming of the ants being announced.
In her terror she left her baby behind
the house swinging in a hammock. It
was hoped that it would escape, but
when the ants had departed the mother
found that the insects had crept down
the cords of the hammock, and had
left of the unfortunate child nothing
but its bones. On some of the Guerrero
sugar estates great, lazy-looking snakes
are kept in the storerooms to keep
rats and mice away from the sugar
loaves. These snakes are repulsive in
appearance, but harmless- to human
beings.. Not all the places in Mexico,
however, which have an agreeable
climate are cursed with insects and
reptilian pests.-' Such places as Cuer
navaca, in the state of Morelos, are too
high above the hot plains to suffer
from venomous insects, and yet so
much below the cold tableland that
the climate is a perpetual summer.
Cuernavaea unites many of the advan
tages of the temperate zone with all
that is delightful and alluring in the
tropics.
. ORIGIN OF HOKEY POKEY.
Left-Over Ice Cream Bought at the Ho
tels and Frozen Aain.
It is an actual fact that old ice cream
is bought up by Italians and venders
from restaurants and ice cream stands,
frozen a second and third time, and
again offered for sale, to be consumed
by the newsboys and gsneral public
under the alluring title of hokey pokey,
says the New York Herald. Almost
every night these venders make the
rounds of all the hotels, and buy up
whatever has been left over from the
day previous. This cream has all
been melted more or less to its original
consistency, and if it is still frozen
when they get it there is but little left
but fluid by the; time it has reached
Brooklyn and the Italian quarter.
This melting process is the cause of
all the danger. Cream once having
been frozen and again melted very
readily turns sour. In this stage it is
poisonous. The vender of hokey pokey
cares little whether or not the cream is
sour. Quickly upon his return to his
quarters he freezes all this mush, and
packs it away for the next day's use.
The few cases of poisoning that have
come to the public notice are in all
probability not the only ones that have
occurred, for physicians say that many
cases of poisoning have occurred in the
districts where the hokey pokey vend
ers are that couid not be accounted for,
because of the suddenness of death.
It has generally been understood that
certain establishments are putting out
large quantities of hokey pokey and
supplying the venders, . but this is not
so. The Italians and their families are
the only ones who manufacture and ca
ter to the consumers.
The True Kemedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiakilwa, 111.,
"Cheif," saye: "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
edy can take its place in oar borne, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping. .Coagh, -etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not a good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

r- HE SAT ON THE BABY.
A New Yprk Lawyer Forgot That He Was
Proud Papa.
Mr.. V is an cxt-ensive real estate
owner -in - one of the suburbs of. New
Vork, says the New York Tillies. He
is also an insurance agent and a general
udviM-r on matters of law and equity
.imJ. in addition -to all this, lie is the
jroud father of a three-weeks-old baby.
f he other day Mrs. D took lhe
little treasure into the parlor iind, after
a half hour's cooing, lulled it to slet-p.
Then she laid the child on a sofa with
a pillow at its feet, darkened tie room
and went about her household duties,
just as any good housewife would. .All
this time Mr. D wus busy iu ihe
garden. Presently a neighbor hap
pened along and stopped for Mr. 11 -'s
opinion on a law matter and vas inviied
into the (hi; lulled ''parlor.' The vis
itor went straight for the sofa. lie
could se; tlv.- pilk.w, but dirt not ob
serve the-child. K.' was iad jut-ting ihe
pillow to malic a n:c? comfortable stat,
but Mr. D in-. :: t -d thnt lie should
sit in the big arm-chair, a sort of Brat
of honor for all gi:o:.ts. He Hcquiesceri
and Mr. T) took his seat on the pil
low. - ...
About this time Mrs. D- , whose
material instinct had asserted itself,
peeped in to see bow baby slept. She
;nw Ivor husband sitting where she hud.
left the child. As she asked in an
iiarmsd tone where the baby was a
muEied cry came from beneath tin pil-
!jv.- and Mr. D jumpod up. Ho ii.-rd
been silting on the precious little Ihlr.g
and the timely arrival of his wife prob
ably saved the child's life. A few mo
ments more and it would haw been -uf-Focated.
"Lucky for the child that I
did not sit on it," remarked the visitor,
who is a man of generous proportions.
The child is all right now, but Mr. D
does not take his clients into the parlor
any more.

Time Occupied by Dreams.
. The time occupied by a dream is one
of the marvels of sleep. In the work
enti-tled "The Philosophy of Mystery,'
'we read of a man who dreamed that he
bad enlisted as a- soldier; that he had
joined his regiment and traveled to a
foreign country; that he finally de
serted on account of the harsh -treatment
he hd received at the hands of
his superior oliicers; that, he had been
apprehended atnd carried back to his
regiment; that upon, arriving there he
v:us tried by court-martial, condemned
to be shot end was led out for execu
tion. At this' moment, the guns of the
executioners exploded and the sound
tiwoke the dreamer. It" was clear now
that a lond noise in an adjoining room
had both produced the dream and awak
ened the dreamer almost at the, same
moment. '
The Lord Mayor's Robes.
London's lord mayor has to put on
three suits of clothes on taking office.
He wears a wide-sleeved, velvet-faced,
fur-trimmed robe of purple silk-rep on
presenting himself to the lord chan
cellor at Westminster; this he uses
cfterward as a police magistrate. For
his show he wears a robe of superfine
scarlet broadcloth, faced with sabie fur
and lined with pearl satin; this he must
wear when greeting the judges at the
Old Bailey and on all saints' days. The
dress for evening and formal receptions
is a black damask satin robe, embroid
ered with silver gilt. Under these he
wears a velvet coat and knee breeches.
The robes are a perquisite of the office
and cost $1,000.- The chain of office
has on it diamonds worth $600,000, and
each lord mayor must give bonds for
its safe return on receiving it. When
the queen passes through the city a
fourth robe is necessary, but, as this
seldom happens, it is bought only when
the occasion arises.
