Flat ALASKA, One of the Carriers Tells Something About Its Difficulties. From the Alaska Searchlight. The difficulties and hardships of carrying the mail in the Arctic during the winter season is shown ir a letter from T. Con- stantine Healy, manager of the Yukon Ex- press and Transportation Company. The letter, which was written at Dyea, Feb- ruary 17, tells how the party started from Juneau December 16, reaching Dyea two days later. Owing to a disagreement among the natives as to rates for packing, the party had its luggage freighted to the head of the canon by Healy & Wilson’s pack train, and then the natives were offered $15 per 100 pounds to the summit, six miles ant. (he weather, which was northerly,” says the letter, “continued so severe and blustering that they did not care to take the job, so between the head of the canon and Sheep Camp we put in our time till the middle of January trying to move our out- fit. The weather was severe during all this time, and we had but two days that we could work at all. One of our dogs was poisoned and the other one, while starting back to the post from camp, was frozen to death. Finally, by hard work, we got our outfit to Stone House. Mr. Gasch got his feet badly frozen. On February 1 we man- aged to induce the Irdians to pack, offering them $6 per 100 ponds from Stone House to the summit, a distance of one mile. “At Big Rock, on the other side of the summit, Mr. Gasch and I bade good-bye to Mr. Stewart and native, and started out for this side. We reached the place where we had pitched our camp at the head of the canon, had our supper, and were com- plimenting ourselves on finally getting teams across the range, when about 8 o'clock in the evening the Ind!an appeared, surprising us very much. His statement was that a north wind had sprung up, which the dogs were unable to face. Mr. Stewart tried to persuade him to go on to timber Ine with the camp outfit, but he re- fused, and kept continually shouting: “ “Mahmaloose! Mahmaloose!”’ (it is death, it is death), and holding his hands over his face, which was freezing. He finally turned back. Stewart was compelled to do the same, after piling the outfit so that It could be found. It was 11 p.m. when Stew- art arrived in our camp, and It was indeed @ pleasant surprise, as he was so far be- hind the native that we had almost given him up. He had his ears and fingers badly frozen, and Joe, the native, had his face frozen. “After holding council, Mr. Gasch and myself returned to Healy & Wilson's post that night. Here we found Harry Davis, whose services we immediately secured, bought another dog from one of the na- tives, and started out to try the summit again. Davis and Stewart and Joe, the na- tive, got over the summit on the 23d, and are now on their way down the lakes, as the Indians report going good on the other side. “This is only giving you a simple outline of our difficulties. The wolverines got into our cache at Stone House, and carried off all our dog food, as well as a Winchester rifle. With this and much other bad luck, you can judge what kind of humor we are in. We wish you and the people to under- stand that we bucked the sumimt of the range from December 20 to February 2 We did as well as any men could do, and better than a great many, finally succeed- ing. We are trying to do the people of the -¥ukon valley ‘a service in giving them a regular mail route. We shall not be caught again as we were this winter, as we are going to have caches made at regular in- tervals of seventy or eighty miles all along the river, which will enable us to travel much lighter.” Beaten : Green Stones in Favor. From the Mannfacturing Jeweller. Green stones are the fashion just now; of these, of course, first comes the emer- ald, for green diamonds and green sap- Pphires are too rare and small for modern Jewelry. Nothing can equal a really fine emerald--rich, dark, velvety and glossy— yet it is said that a flaw or fault almost always lies in the stone, and an emerald without a flaw Is priceless. Next to emer- alds come pecidots (the French name for Indian chrysolite). These stones are par- ticularly soft and they are difficult to cut and polish. Perldots, when really fine in size, depth and color, are lovely stones. They are a clear, deep leaf-green, showing almost yellow beside the blue tone of color of the emerald. Few peridots are now brought into the market, and those sold are usually cld stones recut and réset in modern fashion. Both emeralds and peridots are “step cut,” with a large broad table of center space. The chrysoprase is pretty, but lacks depth of coloring. The reason the emerald and peridot make lovely ornaments is that they can be set round with sparkling dia- monds to show off their lovely coloring, but pale stcnes like the chrysophase or beryl have to be set plain by themselves, as they will not bear the contrast. About twenty years ago a fashion came in of setting Peridots with enainel and surrounding them with pearls. This fashion now seems to have returned. ——: An Afflicted Family. From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. There probably is not a family in New England whom fate has used so hard as the Irving sisters of Oldtown, two of whom were struck down by a murderer's blows this week. The Bangor Commercial is given this outline of their sad history: First the homestead was burned down, leaving them with only an unfinished shed for shel- ter. Then two of the sisters, who had moved to Oldtown to keep a millinery store, were burned out and lost all- they had. Then other members of the family, all wo- men, were se from a poet ene stream, right in front of the ans drowned, and, finally, this dreadful tragedy occurred as a ax. SUBURBAN NEW ANACOSTIA. A terribly distressing accident, resulting in the death, late’ Wednesday night, of Fran- els, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Moore of Anacostia, occurred Tuesday evening. In some way, as yet not known, the child, who was but three years of age, secured a box of matches and took them to play with a little distance frem his home. A man driving along the street heard screams and noticed that the little boy was on fire. The man at once went to the rescue of the child and succeeded in putting out the flames with his heavy driv- ing gloves. The child was quickly taken heme and Dr. S. Harrison summoned. An examination showed that the poor Uttle fellow was burned so horribly that he could not survive long, but everything Possible was done to relieve his sufferings. He lingered in great agony until late Wed- nesday night, when death came to his re- lef. Mr. and Mrs. Mocre are almost pros- trated by their sudden and heartrending bereavemert, and the sympathies of a large number of the citizens of the town ave been extended to them. The funeral will take place this afternoon from St. Teresa’s Church, of which the dis- tressed parents are members, and the services will probably be conducted by Rev. T. B. Hughes. ‘The troubles of the congregation of Macedonia Baptist Church, Hilisdale, to which reference has been heretofore made in Tke Star, are likely to find their way into court. It transpired last evening that Tuesday evening, for which time a meet- ing of the congregation was called for 8 o'clock, the friends of Mr. Mason, the preacher who ts in charge of the church, £ssembled two hours earlier and very quie! ly and expeditiously expelled ali their op- ponents from the membership on the ground that they had incited trouble in the church. Two hours later Mr. Mason's opponents arrived at the church and they were amazed to find the building closed and locked, and to learn that they had all been expelled. After considerable talk in a very excited manner the expelled members left, saying they would be on hand Sunday morning and raake their presence felt. The remains of Mrs. George D. Buddeke, formerly of La Plata, who died at her late home, 11 Baltimore, Mondav night last, were buried yesterday at Pompet Catholic burying ground, near La Plata. The de- ceased was a daughter of the late Judge Edgar Brawner, and granddaughter of the late Dr. Thomas A. Davis, both of La Plate. Mrs. Buddeke was a highly accom- Plished lady, and very popular. She was married at the residence of her grand- mother near La Plata in June last. The farmers in that part of Prince George’s county which is adjacent to the District of Columbia, and, it is understood, the most of the agriculturists throughout southern Maryland, are taking a great in- terest in the movement to bring farmers and other desirable emigrants from the west and other portions of the country into Maryland. The movement was inaugurated by Mr. D. F. Maroney, a* prominent Balti- more and Ohio official, and it is the gen- eral impression among those who have in- quired into the matter that the scheme is at least partially backed by the present. Management of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. ——-.+—__ BROOKLAND. There will be a pleasant program during the Sunday school hour at the Methodist Church Easter Sunday. The time will be passed with music and recitations and other features appropriate to the occasion. Mrs, Hospital, who has always been found capable at such times, has this matter in charge. The remains of Mrs. Joseph Baumer, who died recently, were taken from the vault Wednesday and bur’ed in the family lot at Mount Olivet cemetery. Miss Eva McDowell of Bristol, Tenn., is the guest of Miss Lottie Fillmore of South Brookland, with whem she will remain for some time. A new feature has been recently taken up in the first, second and third grades at the Brookland school in the form of water color painting. So far the work has been principally confined to mixing colors and painting figures and easy objects. The children have displayed much interest and pleasure in this work, and in the spring flowers and fruits will be taken up. it ‘s probabie that it will not be long before the Brookland school can boast of a new flag. When this is ratsed over the building there will be an appropriate pro- gram furnished by the pupils. There was a good attendance at the meet- ing of the W. C. T. U., held yesterday afternoon. The occasion was made partic- ularly attractive by an address given by Mrs. Clinton Smith and several readings by Mrs. Wescott, both of which were heartily appreciated. Mrs. Chas. G. Lynch was made delegate-at-large to the quarterly meeting in Georgetown, which will take place the first part of neXt month. Mrs. John T. Hare and Mrs. Thomas were also elected delegates, and Mrs. Rhine and Mrs. Larner alternates. The meeting was a very enjoyable one, and much business was transacted. Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey gave a pleasant party to their two sons, Fred. and Arthur, last night. The early part of the evening was devoted to games and social amuse- ments. To the strains of a march played by Mrs. Godfrey the children walked into the dining room, where a bountiful repast was spread. This was a very pretty sight, for the girls wore light gowns of various shades, and both girls and boys wore on their heads fancy paper caps, the souvenirs of the evening. Among the many litile ones present were Kathleen Noel, Marie and Katharine Brown, Floy Noteman, Marle Howe, Edith Brown, Grace Nelson, Ruby Schwier, Ina Stalee, Marion Godfrey, Margaret Marean and Laura De Pue and Raymond De Pue, Edmond Wolfe, Stanley Marean, O. Wiiten, Roy Wolfe, Frank and Willie West and Joseph Noel. — TTSVILLE, HY. The Bas Bleu Literary Society met lasi Wednesday afternoon at “Melrose.” Dick- ens was the author for discussion.

The iron work for the new bridge across the northwestern branch, which will be built by the Columbia and Maryland Elec- tric railway, arrived here yesterday. This iron was sent from Youngstown, Ohio, and consists of two car loads. As soon as the company can complete the grading of the road. which is in thé Holiday subdivision, which {s now in dispute, the stone founda- tion for the bridge will be laid, and the iron work will then be commenced. Governor Lowndes has appointed Mr. J. H. Ralston of this place as one of the members of the commission recently pro- vided for by the legislature to report upon the Torren system of land tenure and land transfers, and recommend such modifica- tions as to make the plan applicable in Marviand.

Tighe this week in the barn on his ptace near Laurel. The dog had been wandering around the neighbor- hood of the Tighe farm for several days and had bitten a number of dogs. Mr. Tighe discovered the animal in the dog house of his rabbit hound. He immediate- ly secured a revolver and fired at the dog, which ran off. Mr. Tighe followed the dog, firing at him several times with no appar- ent effect. He was joined in the chase by the Wooten boys, with guns. The dog, af- ter being lost sight of several times, was finally located in the Tighe barn. Mr. Tighe fired at the animal twice while in the barn, the last shot proving fatal. After killing the mad dog, Mr. Tighe took out his rabbit hound and killed it also, fearing that it had been bitten by the mad dog when it was in the dog house. The farm- ers in the neighborhood were greatly re- Neved to learn that the dog had been killed, as tt was feared it would bite the horses, cows and other stock. A number of dogs have been shot in the neichbor- hood of the Tighe residence, for fear that they had been bitten by the mad dog. , The pupils of the Laurel night school will give an entertainment this evening at school No. 1. An interesting program has been arranged for the evening. The passage by the house of delegates of Delegate Schooiey’s bill authorizing the school commissioners to erect a building in Laure} to be used a high school was received with great satisfaction by Laurel- ians generally. Senator Bowie's bill ap- Propriating $1,200 annually for the high school ts still pending in the senate, but it is believed the senate will pass the meas- ure. This school will be open not only to pupils who have graduated from the pub- lic schovls of Laurel and this county, but to those of the southern Maryland counties as well. Laurel has endeavored to secure an institution of this kind for some time, and its hopes of having a high school are brighter now than they have ever been be- ‘ore. Mrs. E. E. Keller and father, Mr. George Butt of Washington, visited relatives here this week. Mayor Edward Phelps and Mr. Charlies F. Shoffer, jr., left last night on a business trip for New York, where they will remain until Monday. Mr. T. M. Lanahan, son of Rev.

W. A. Wilcox and A. B. Alexan- der of the United States fish comm'ssion were guests here recently of ex-Assistant Fish Commissioner J. W. Collins. Commerce Destroyers to Be Fitted Out When Belligerency is Recognized. From the New York Tribune. A well-known member of the Cuban jun- ta, who lives in Brooklyn, threw out a strong hint yesterday that Just as soon as the United States recognizes Cuban bellig- erency @ navy will be provided within e short time to prey upon Spanish commerce and fight the Spanish navy in the waters of the Atlantic ocean surrounding the is- land. It is understood that for many months, or, in fact, almost ever since the present war began, the junta has had a list of available vessels owned by different contries which could be purchased for war purposes. Among this number are three or four men- of-war, They are not warships of the In- diana or of the Massachusetts class, but under the modern interpretation of naval terms they would, perhaps, be called sec- ond-class cruisers, with sufficient armament. and protective power to give the majority of the Spanish navy a good tussle in a fair fight. The junta officer, who refused to al- Icw his name to be mentioned in connec- tion with this story, said that within two months of the time that the administration recognized Cuba the Spaniards would meet a naval force which, while not at all exten- sive, would be strong enough to give them plenty to do. It is manifest that the Cubans would in the beginning pursue the same tactics that Gens. Gomez and Maceo are carrying out with the land forces. They would, of course, avoid battle with the more formidable of the Spanish warships, but their main object would be to prey upon the commerce of Spain. The Cubans, having no commerce on the high seas, would, of course, have a great advantage in this respect. It ts the inten- tion to fit out a certain number of priva- teers, just how many it fs not known, out- side of the junta, and probably at this time the junta itself does not know. However, locked in a strong safe in New York is a list of merchant vessels which could easily be converted into cruisers powerful enough to inflict great damage on Spanish com- irerce. It is asserted that already arrange- ments have been made with one or two leading heavy ordnence manufacturers to ship guns to certain points with the least possible delay when the time arrives. SED PO Mark Twain on Pro! From the Westminster Gazette. Mark Twain has just concluded a lectur- ing tour in New Zealand. He said good- bye to the New Zealaade-s at Christchurch, and in the course of his speech made ref- erence to prohibition, which he said he ap- proved, but which would put them into most difficult straits. He then told the fol- lowing story: In cur country, several years ago, there was a man who came into a prohibited town, and, unlike you a, hess mad said to him: “You can’t get a drin a where except at the apothecary’s.” So he went to the apothecary, who said: “You can't get a drink here without a prescrip- tion from the physician,” but the man said, “I am perishing. I haven't time to get a prescription.” The apothecary replied: “Well, I haven't power to give you a drink except for snake bite” The man said: “Where's the snake?” So the apothecary gave him the snake's address, and he went off. Soon after, however, came back and said: “For sake give me a drink; that snake is engaged for six months ehead.” —--— +00 Withdrawn. 8ST.
