Carlin Tells the Story of the Bitter Root Mountains Expedition. Considerable criticism has been indulged in regarding the action of the Carlin hunt- ing perty in Idaho for leaving their cook, George Colgate, and to rescue whom a re- Nef expedition has just set out. William E. Carlin has just written for publication a statement of the experiences of the party in the Bitter Root mountains which equals the most imaginary stories of suffering, in- genuity and perseverence related by the novelists of western life. He says: ‘We have been severely criticised for not being able to rescue our cook, George Col- gate, from the Bitter Root mountains. This is due to tne fact that no one knows the circumstances of our trip. Our party was formed at Spokane. We went by rail to Kendrick, Idaho, and from there, three days’ travel, to Musselshell creek on horses, where we entered the mountains proper, and continued on our mountain trail (the “Lo Lo”) for four cays. On the fifth day we left the “Lo Lo” trafl and made a descent of more than 3,000 feet. During the descent Colgate played out sud- denly. I did not pay much attention to his condition until the third day, when his limbs began to swell very badly and he could only with the greatest difficulty get from camp to the river bank, a distance of perhaps twenty yards. I then questioned him closely about his trouble, and he informed me that he had been suffering from bladder trouble for fifteen years. He had been using certain remedial agents, which he had neglected to bring with him, not by accident, but be- cause he thought he was well enough then mot to need them. He, however, insisted that a few days’ rest would make him all right again. At the end of the sixth day his condition was not improved, and I told him that the best thing he could do was for Spencer, Pierce and him to take the three strongest animals and one pack horse and get out of the mountains and to a phy- siclan as quickly as possible, and that Him- melwright and I would take out our outfit and other horses. He, however, insisted that he did not feel in condition to travel then, and that he would be all right when he had thoroughly rested. I thought he un- derstood his case, and ‘so said no more about it. For some days he did seem to im- Prove slightly, and on October 18 we started to make the ascent to the “Lo Lo,” and ran into about three feet of snow when less than two-thirds of the way up. ( Traveling in Deep wv. This meant at least four and a haif to five feet of snow on our trail. Our horses would have given out in a short time in such snow with no feed and we would have to walk the rest of the way. We had six days’ pro- visions. We could not “snowshoe,” as the snow was soft and fresh snow would con- tinue to fall. We could not carry or drag Colgate and he could not walk. If we in- tended to get him out we either had to wait in hopes of an Indian summer melting the snow sufficiently for him to get out or try to go down the river by rafts. We returned and bought out the trapper Ben Keely. The night after we made camp (September. 26) it began to rain and continued to rain for fourteen days. I believe now that most of this was snow on the trail and I believe that we were snowed in, so far as getting Colgate out was concerned, four days after it began to rain. We. looked for raft timber and found some two and a half miles below (dry cedar). We had very pleasant weather for some time and examined the hills twice more, but, al- though the snow was gone from the lower hills, the snow on the high hills was as deep as ever, and we were not able to even reach the “Lo Lo” trail either time. Colgate’s condition varied. Some days he seemed better,and again if he moved around at all he became much worse. One thing, however, was certain—his limbs increased in size and his condition was becoming alarming. With such tools as we had. we made two rafts and were ready to start by November 3. We could not get ready before. I was laid up myself with boils on my hands, arms and feet. Colgate Very Wenk. ‘We moved camp down to where Himmel- wright, Keely and Spencer were building the raft as soon as I was well enough to walk, and although Colgate rode most of the way, the trip of two and a haif miles 0 completely used him up that we all thought he would die that night. From this time on he could never lie down, and we had to keep fires day and night, as he was very sensitive to cold. Himmelwright, Prince and I divided the night watches be- tween us. Colgate was so weak at this time that when he wished to leave his seat and Bo twenty feet away from camp one of us had to help him and sometimes two of us to keep him from falling. We started on our two rafts November 3 and had an upset the first day out in a bad rapid. Colgate was sucked under the raft, but was saved from drowning by Himmelwright. Prince had a very narrow escape. Spencer and Ben landed above the rapid and tried to get out to where we were stuck in the rocks by wading, but the water was too strong for them to get more than a few yards from shore and keep their feet. Theil: raft was finally let down to us by long rope tied around a tree and we put Colgate and some things on it and got them ashore. When the next load was put on the other raft, our raft, relieved of its weight, started to right and went off with Himmel- wright and me on it. My pole was jerked out of my hand, and we were carried down more than half a mile before we could land, or rather stop, for we had to run the raft on a lot of rocks in order to stop. It took us nearly half an hour to wade ashore with pike poles. Keely, Himmelwright and I worked nearly all the next day in the icy water before we could get our raft off the rocks. We continued down and made about Leris eid to twenty-five miles in eight ys. His Last Chance Gone. We passed through some very bad water. In some rapids the water came over the bow of the raft so high as to strike Him- melwright above the waist. We then found by ropes. When we could not raft any fur- ther Colgate’s last chance to get out alive was gone. Our position then was as follows: All we definitely knew of our route was that we 3 E 4 F i z g river; that led down the middle Clearwater, and that twenty was a ranch; that be- forks the country was est in the Pitter loots. @ weak conditicn.

It took several days to cross the river to the north bank, and the last seen of Colgate by any of the party was by me. He had moved, perhaps, a few feet,and was stumbling around in the rocks. It is possible that with careful nursing he might have lived two or three days, but had we stayed to bury nim w« shoul! have only had four days’ provisions, and, as it af- terward proved we should ix een caught in the canyon in a snow storm that struck us the night Nr.

DEATH OF OTTO SINGER. He Was a Musician of Ability nnd a Co-Worker With Theo. Thomas. Otto Singer, a musician of much ability, who was a close personal friend and co- worker of Theodore Thomas and a colleague in his bed at 235 East 19th street, New York, on Wednesday morning. An autopsy, held yesterday by Deputy Coroner Donlin, showed that death resulted from heart dis- ease. Mr. Singer was born at Sora, Saxony, July 26, 1833. He went to New York in 1867, and was promptly engaged as piano teacher in the newly-established conservatory of Wil- liam Mason and Theodore Thomas, where he remained until 187%. At one of Thomas’ symphony concerts in 1869 he played one of success, The school did not prove a success, and | Mr. Thomas sent Mr. Singer to Cincinnati | as assistant musical director of the first | May festival of 1873. He stayed in that city and became a teacher in the college of music there.

Watched by Curious Eyes as He Pass- ed the Guard of Honor. When M. Dupuy, late president of the council and the new president of the cham- ber, took the chair for the first time and delivered his inaugural address, the sitting commenced at 3 o'clock, an hour later than usual, but long before then the lobbies were thronged, every one being curious to see M. Dupuy pass through the Salle des Pas Perdus on his way to the house. There is always a guard of honor posted along the route taken by the president from his official residence, the troops being sia- tioned in the vast hall and in the Salle des Pas Perdus a few minutes before he makes his appearance. This ceremony is never omitted, and the spectacle thus afforded is always interesting, and doubly so when a new president makes his debut. The cap- tain and the lieutenant in command of the detachment await the president's arrival at the door of the large salon leading into the hall, and, placing themselves on each side of him, advance with drawn swords to the entrance to the lobby, where they salute him in the regulation style. This salute is of course returned by the president, who bows first to the captain on his right and have been so many different ways of pe! | forming this act of courtesy that expecta- tion was very much on the tiptoe. Thus, whfle M. Meline used to incline his head with a rapid movement, and without pausing in his walk, M. Floquet was wont | to turn to right and left with so cold an air who had not had any previous experience of this service often wondered how they could have offended him until they were re- assured on the subject. « M. Casimir-Perier’s salute was very po- lite and formal. Coming to a standstill he inclined his head low, first to the captain and then, wheeling right around, to the lieutenant, as if he were making his entree into a salon and bowing to the lady of the house. “He wishes to keep on good terms with the army!” was the exclamation when he headed the procession of officials for the firat time, but he never varied, and on the last day on which he presided he was just as careful as before. The Salle des Pas Perdus was literally packed when, the guard of the marines having been drawn up, the bugles resound- ed, announcing the approach of the presi- dent. M. Dupuy played his part very well. Attired in evening dress, the orthodox tenue of the chairman of the day, he ad- vanced with firm step, betraying no symp- tom of nervousness, though so many eyes were on him, and when the psychological moment of his entering the lobby came, and the officers saluting stood with their swords lowered look! it before ‘ing straigh’ them, he halted and bowed kindly, but not formally, to each. He had hardly disap- peared when exclamations expressive of ap- |proval and sympathy were raised on all sides. This may seem a small matter, but | Such trifies have their importance in this country. ————+o+_____- Frauds in Dresden and Sevres. From Longman's Magazine. As to porcelain, it is probable that more than half of the “old” Dresden china now exposed for sale is counterfeit. Most fre- quently the originals have been copied, mark and all, but in some cases really oid Dresden china that was originally white has been painted by an ambitious forger. With Sevres china, the more common ware has sometimes had the whole of the original Pattern and glaze removed and received a new ground of turquois or some of the royal colors, to which painting or medallions in the old style have been added. In 1816 a dejeuner service, with portraits of Louis XIV. and the principal ladies of bis | court, was offered to Louis XVII. as ha’ ing belonged to his grandfather, Louis X V., but on examination it was found that the principal plateau was of a design not intro- duced at Sevres until fifteen years after the death of the reputed owner of the service. Instead of adorning the table of the king, the service was relegated to the museum at Sevres as an interesting forgery. Spurious Palissy ware is almost a drug in the ma: ket, and nearly every porcelain manu’ tory is now represented by pieces either wholly reproductions of its genuine pro- ducts or having their marks and character in some way modified. There is no one who should more diligently apply to himself the motto, “Caveat emptor!” than the colle2tor of pottery and porcelains. The Thickness of Glaciers. From the Fortnightly Review. The most recent researches, according to M. Falsan, show that the thickness of the ice has been usually underestimated, A ter- minal moraine on the Jura at Chasseron is 4,000 feet above the sea, or 2,770 feet above Geneva. In order that the upper surface of the ice should have had sufficient incline to fiow onward as it did, it was probably 5,000 or 6,000 feet thick below Martigny, and 4,000 or 5,000 feet over the middle of the lake. It is certain, at all events, that whatever thickness was necessary to cause onward motion that thickness could not fail to be Produced, since it is only by the onward motion to some outlet or lowland where the ‘Ice can be melted away as fast as it is re- newed that indefinite enlargement of a glacier is avoided. The essential condition for the formation of a glacier at all is that more ice should be produced annually than is melted away. So long as the quantity produced is on the average more than that melted, the glaciers will increase; and as the more extended surface of ice, up to a certain point, by forming a refrigerator, helps its own extension,a very small perma. nent annual surplus may lead to an enor- mous extension of the ice. Hence, if at any |cier remains stationary, either owing to | some obstacle in its path or to its having reached a level plain where it is unable to move onward, the annual surplus of ice produced will go to increase the thickness of the glacier and its upper slope till motion is produced. The ice then flows onward till it reaches a district warm enough to bring about an equilibrium between growth and dissolution. If, therefore, at any stage in the growth of a glacier a thickness of 6,000, 7,000 or even 5,000 feet is needed to bring about this result, that thickness will inevitably be produced. ‘We know that the glacier of the Rhone did move onward to the Jura and beyond it; that the northward branch flowed on be- | yond Soleure till it joined the glacier of the Rhine, and that its southern branch carried Alpine erratics to the country be- tween Bourg and Lyons, 25) miles from its this distance it moved at the bottom as well as at the top, by the rounded and polished rocks and beds of stiff boulder clay which are found in almost every part of its course.

To Mark Where the Continental Cone gress Met in Baltimore. From the New York Post. The Maryland Society of the Sons of the American Revolution propose to mark with @ tablet the site of the building in Balti- more where the Continental Congress met on December 20, 1774 The place, on Bal- timore street, between Sharp and Liberty, was a three-story brick house without ar- chitectural pretensions, but being a ram- bling barn of a structure, it answered the purposes of the Representatives. Its owner in those days was one Jacob Fite. The ia- terior of the house was burned in 1899, and a few years ago the restored building fell before the march of improvements. A committee of the society has been 4i- i Be igi plate is to be two feet and A three feet re and will a picture of old Congress picture will take up a third the tablet.

A few years later he was transferred to the man whose name he now bears, and lived with him near Vienna, Maries county, until the emancipation of the slaves. Since that time he has lived at West- phalia, but for the past twenty-five years he has made his home at Osage City, Hoops is remarsably well and lives alone in his shanty. He fishes a cveat deal for the big cattish that frequent the waters of the Osage, and is never happier than when he can catch a bit one and make soup of its head. He is still able co do some work, and it was only e few years since that he contracte2 with a farmer in the vicinity of his home to remove the stumps and roots of a new'y cleared tract of land. He fulfilled his contract, doing ail | the work himself. His mind is still clear on many of the events that happened toward | the close of the last century, and he recalis with great pride that he once held the horse of Gen. Greene of revolutionary fame. In appearances Hoops is said to resemnie a mummy; his skin looks lke patchment, and he is toothless and hairless, but his step is remarkably firm end his eye bright and clear. As stated, he lives alone, having no relatives as far as known. He is a mem- | ber and a regular attendant of the A. M. EB. | Church.
