New developments concerning the death ef Alice Barrett of Waltham, Mass., last Saturday afternoon continue to attract at- tention. She was found dead in the office of Codman & Codman, in which she had been employed as a bookkeeper. The build- ing had been struck and set on fire by lightning, and it was at first supposed the bolt had killed her, but afterward {t was discovered that she had been shot through the heart. A revolver was found on the floor. Her family are almost positive that the eirl was murdered. It was ascertained to- day that the cash book of the firm, which Miss Barrett had kept for two years, and in which she entered all the cash transac- tions, had been burned. The police, who have been hard at work on the case eince it assumed Such serious phase, are al- most satisfied that Miss Barret book before her death. esi purest With the disappearance of this book the firm finds itself in a most peculiar posi- tion. William C. Codman admitted to the police that it was a surprise to him to learn that his confidential clerk and book- keeper had destroyed the cash book. He also admitted that the destruction of the book would hide any irregularities that may have existed so effectually that it Would be almost impossible to discover em. The absence of the cash book was not discovered until this morning, when the safe was opened for the first time since one of the firemen hastily closed it at the time of the fire. The safe was found open at that time, and to prevent its contents from being destroyed it was promptly shut. Mr. Codman came from Nantucket this morning, and search was made for the missing book. Among the debris of tho fire that had been thrown into the back Zao was found about twenty pages of the ook. The handwriting on the sheets was that of Miss Barrett. Mr. Codman says that it ts his personal conviction that Miss Barrett did not commit suicide, but was murdered, perhaps by some one who fol- lowed her into the office on Saturday. He does not believe that Ms Barrett em- bezzled a cent of the firm’s money. ——— it Pay or Go to Jail. In the divorce case of Amelia T. Measer against Emmanuel H. J. Measer, Judge Hagner today ordered the defendant to be committed to jail unless he pays his wife on or before August 2 the $10 alimony or- dered by Judge Cole to be paid to her by the 15th of this month. Measer, a journey- man barber, claimed that he is unable to earn enough to pay Mrs. Measer the amount, but Judge Hagner replied that fe did not believe such statement, and told his counsel that the man would be confined im jail until he obeyed the court's order, Some of the Troubles’ Encountered by Visitors to ‘the: Field—Fuod Supply a Factor. ——___ It is not necessary for everybody to feed on dog meat on the, Upper Yukon river and in the vicinity of the Klondyke gold field in winter, as a member of a party which was up there sald several of the members did. He refused the dish, but at the same time he acknowledged that more than once efter food had been thrown to the dogs, literally speaking, he had snatched it away from them before they could eat it. Fish which small worms had appropriated to themselves he did not hesitate to eat, he said, and was glad to get tt. That is one of the great troubles which will be encountered by persons visiting the gold field. The farther up the Yukon one travels the scarcer becomes the food sup- ply, until in the Klondyke region and there- abouts it ceases almost entirely. There is practically no large game, with the ex- ception of-one or two moose and retudeer which have become separated from the rest of the herd and wandered out there. So that prospectors who intend visiting the field should not rely in the least on the re- sources of the country to feed them. There may be a few rabbits, ducks and geese in the spring, which disappear very quickly. These are not sufficient to supply even the wants of the few natives who. wander no- madically about the region. Where Game is Found. Lower down the Yukon, at certain sea- sons of the year, there is abundance of game, probably from 400 to 500 miles from the Klondyke river. ‘The moose {s about the largest of the mammals, while the rein- deer is fairly plentiful. As the population has increased the game has corresponding- ly decreased, and in the winter the Indians there have a hard time securing food, they are very improyvident. Duriag season when it is abundant they never think of laying by a supply. There are beavers on the streams and various kinds of deer, bear and caribou. In the winter months these go south and disappear al- most entire! The polar bear is found several degrees farther north, never ap- pearing in that vicinity. In the mountain streams which feed the Yukon river, up toward its head, near the Kathul mountain, there are mo:mtain trout of good size and flavor. Many of these streams dry up in the wint fed by glaciers, which, of cours: weather are frozen entirely. The is found in the Yukon, but ouly lower down, toward St. Michael's. Occasionally they are caught high up on the Yukon, but the water 1s rather cold for them. There is a sort of fish known as the white fish which Is found near the Klondyke ri and is said to be excellent eating. It rang in size about the same as our black bass, and is one of the chief mainstays cf the Indians. In winter, if it is not too cold, holes are cut in the ice and the fish pulled out by means of bone hooks. They are more plentiful than any other kind, and the ice col water appears to be their na ‘a colt u atural Fowls in the Spring. Early in the spring water fowl, such as ducks, geese and swan, put in an appear- ance, but they do not tarry long, and wena their way after a stay of only a few days. They are very plentiful when they do ap- pear, and the natives kill them by hun- dreds. The trouble is, however, that things of the kind do net last as’ they do in warmer clim Reindeer formerly were seen in very large numbers on the Yukon, some two or three hundred miles from where the Klondy flows into it, and a gentleman who s two or three winters there several years ago stated to the reporter that he had seen, a herd of at least 5,000 cross the river on the ice in one day. He also saw moose and caribou in herds of large number, but such an occurrence is an unusual rather than a common one. Rey. Sheldon Jackson, the Alaskan agent for t ymotion of education in that country, employed by the bure: cation here, of which M s it is stated, will import ndeer from Lapland this year for tic purposes. Mr. Jackson went to Alaska in the and has the welfare of the people there greatly at heart. He has known so many cases of destitution that the importation of the deer, it is thought, will greatly alle- viate the sufferings of the people. It is almost impossible to instill in them the provident. Samuel C. Dun- al expert of the United States department of labor, is authority for the statement that Mr. Jackson will import the eer. Appetite § Klondyke would-be prospectors should bear fn mind the fact that in that region, where game is scarce, the appetite is some- thing wonderful. All kinds of food is eat- en with relish, particularly anything that has fat or grease about it. The sharp air increases hunger nearly a hundred-fold, and it is necessary to have plenty of pro- visions in order to withstand the tem- perature of sometimes as much as 6S de- grees below zero. Persons who have passed the winter there state that it is much bet- ter not to touch alcoholic liquors, as the after-effects from indulgence in them are muth worse than any benefit which may be derived from temporary stimulation. Tea is considered one of the best things which can be taken, and it is drunk in large quantities, strong and as hot as pos- sible. This seems to keep the heat in and the cold out better than anything else. All Kinds of canned goods are excellent, and dried fruits or lime juice should be included in every bill of fare, as scurvy is prevented by making use of them. It is necessary to use large quantities of salt meats, which produce the disease. Vegetables Might Be Grown. It is believed by travelers up the Yukon river that vegetables which grow rapidly could be raised profitably In the summer menths. Potatoes, it is thought, could be brought to fruition without trouble, and turnips also. The latter have been raised successfully by missionaries 400 or 500 miles or so from the source of the river. The sun there is said to have very strong pewer in the enres or four months of sum- mer, and in hot houses lettuce and other vegetables could be raised easily. It is believed by many who do not under- stand the situation thoroughly that it is not allowed by any one to take provisions in that country, the syndicate furnishing them for $400. This is @ mistake. The syn- dicate merely does not allow any one to transport them up the Yukon river, re- serving that right for itself. If they can be taken to Juneau‘or ¢ither the Chilkat, or Chilkoot, pass they Can be transported over the mountains on muleback, and this is much the closer way- The cost of trans- portation, however, is considered expen- sive. ——— DELAWARE GOLD MINERS; Company Formed at Wilmington to Go to Yukon District. A special to the Philadelphia Press from Wiimington, Del., says: It was announced ‘this morning that the Yukon Mining, Trading and Transporta- tion Company of Wilmington, Del., had en- geged Professor William. A. Pratt of Dela- ware College to go to the Yukon district for the purpose of furnishing plans for thé new railroad which the company intends to build to open the gold district. Professor Pratt, in addition to being the professor of electrical engineering at Dela- ware College, is the president of the street and sewtr department of Wilmington, and is an expert engineer. He was formerly one of the leading engineers of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. He will return in September with an ex- haustive report on the road which it 1: proposed to build, and !f his report is fa- vorable, work will be at once commenced. On account of the concessions received from the British Columbian parliament, it will cost the company nothing for the right of the way of the railroad, and in addition to this it will receive valuable grants of public lands. The company will have Pro- fessor Pratt plan the road which it is in- tended to build, and it is likely that he will have general direction of the work if the report which he makes Is favorable to com- mencing operations at once, Appropriate Services Held Sanday and Debt Reduced by Subscriptions— Description of the Edifice. Sunday morning at 10 o'clock was begun a series of three dedicatory services of the Rouse of worship just completed by the St. Paul’s M. E. congregation of Kensington. The building was filled with worshipers, who recognized with much pleasure the tasteful manner in which Architect C. L. Harding, Rev. Robert M. Moore and the building committee had done their part in erecting this temple of praise. The building was constructed at a cost of $6,200, and 1s capable of seating about 400 people. The entrance is through the tower, situated at the southeast corner. The east front is decorated with eight large memorial windows, dedicated to Margaret Stoek, Emory Baxter, children of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C. Fowler, John G. Gould, Mrs. H. Chew, Robert Emmet Constan' children of Mr. and Mrs. Loren H. Mil ken, H. G. and Mary O'Neal and J. C. and M. L. Harkness, respectively. Above these is a large rose window of tasteful design. The interior is finished in the roof construction bein; panels covered with fri pews are of quartered oak, the aisles con- verging toward the pulpit, which occupies the north wall. One-third of the western end is separated from the main auditorium by a series of large folding doors, which can be opened at will, making the whole edifice practically IAto one room. Here is provision made for the junior and senior Sunday schools. The pulpit and chancel of the old church, together with its organ, have been transferred to these class rooms, and will be u for prayer meeting and children's choir practice. A new organ stands beside the pulpit, the gift of the choir, costing $500. The’ pulpit and altar chairs are of quartered oak, and were the gift of the Junior League, of which Mrs. R. M. Moore jis president, and a com- munion table to correspond was the gift of the Sunday school class of Mrs. R. E. Con- stant. A carpet of terra cotta color, and costing $100, was given by the Ladies’ Aid Society. “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free,” is the mot- to adorning the west wall. The Sunday Program. The morning services began with sing- ing and a reading from Corinthians, by Dr. G. W. T. Wright, appropriate to the building of God's temple. Rev. H. R. Naylor preached the opening sermon, from Malachi, 2:10, “Have we not all one Father? Hath not one God created us * He dwelt at length upon the neces- sity of unity of all shades of belief in work- ing for the betterment of God's kingdom. Man alone was given a creative fac which plainly indicated God's purp making him work out his own s and bringing him more in lik s with his Creator. Only through coi trivings can man, through God's grace, hope to at- tain to perfection. Rev. Robert M. Mooze took occasion to explain the financial concition of the church. There had not been wanting timid friends to advise him that he was begin- ning too vast an undertaking, but he counted much on the 1 of his congrega- tion and of the community in which his ministry lay, and above all, he put faith in hand was in this n and hac not been w, more than half this morning he God and hu- He appoint- belief that: God's werk.

B. Detrick, G. W. R. Stok J. F. Stock, H. L. Ami . L. Harding and H. W. Lewis, trustees, were called to the altar rail, and the obligation was ad- ministered by Rev. Luther B. Wilson, after which the benediction was pronounced. The evening's service opened with the “Pilgrim's Chorus,” dered by Mr. Frank Calhoun. Rev. J. St. Clair Neal, pastor of the Harford Avenue Church, Baltimore, delivered the sermon of the evening. He dwelt upon the sacrifices of Christ for our sakes, and believed that by making sac- rifices for His sake we could best requite the gift of His boundless love. He closed with an exhortation for the congregation to lift the burden of the debt from the house of the Lord. Rev. Mr. Moore said that after the sple did response the people had given to his requests for financial aid, he feit a delicacy about trespassing upon their good nature further. The collectors went out, however, and amid a fire of humorous remarks from Rev. Neal, the sum of $163 was raised, making over $1,400 donated at the three services. | The’ debt remaining on the church fs but $1,100, which, in view of the fact that the corner stone was laid Easter is considered a noteworthy ll_a village. After singing “One More Day's Work for Jesus,” the congregation was dismissed to music of “Tannhauser’s Grand March.” A number of the congregation stayed af- ter service and enjoyed the rendition of a number of solos by Mr. Percy 8.

There is no greatcr waste in the adminis- tration of the government than that which is forced upon the pension office and con- tinued from year to year by congressmen who insist upen making that branch of the government service subservient to their political ambitions. Since the present administration came into power fully one-fourth, or 400 clerks in the pension office, have been continu- ously engaged fn answering what are known as “congressional calls." These calls are no less than requests on the part of members of Congress to know the status of pension claims of their constitu- ents. Every congressman, as a rule, keeps a list of pensioners living in his district who have applications for increases and of men wéo desire pensions, and every three months he writes to the coummis- sioner of pensions asking to know the status cf these cases. This correspondence develops the fact that the claimer has this important backing, and in a large propor- tion of the cases the claimants with sui backing have their cases made “special. It wculd not be so bad if but one con- gressman inquired of the status of a clai It frequently happens that an eners claimant, in order to push his interests, will bring his case before a dozen or fifteen representatives and senators, and these dozen or fifteen congressmen will each write at stated intervals to know how the case is getting on. The commissioner of pensions has no power to prevent senators and representa- tives from sending him these “calls.” The calls must be answered.
