As heretofore announced in The Star, the corner stone of the new Hebrew Tabe nacle will be laid this afternoon at o'cleck, The program as arranged by the building committee, of which Mr. William Hahn is chairman, is as foliows: Hymn*by choir; prayer and address, Rey. Dr. L. Stern; address, Mr. William Hahn; address, Mr. 1. L. Blout, president of the congrega- tion, Masonic ceremonies in accordance with the ritual by the officers of the Grand Lodge, F.A.A.M., of the District of Ce lumbia; hymn by choir; address, Mr. Simon Wolf; short speeches by several invited gues hymn: by choir, and benediction. It is understood that President McKinley and Secretary Sherman, with perhaps one or two other cabinet efficers, will attend, and it is hoped the President will take part in_the ceremonies. The new temple will be, when ready for occupan¢y, one of the most imposing edi- fices for the purposes of divine worship in the city. As is already well known to the readers of The Stur, it will be located on the site of the old structure, on Sth street near H street northwest, in the very heart of the city. It is believed no more appropri- ate site could have been selected. it 1s intended that while there will be no wasteful expenditure of money in its eree- tion and appointments, there shall be no lack of funds for the equipment of the building in a first-class manner in every particular. The structure will be unlike any other simUar edifice in the ci and, when com- pleted, will, with its oriental style of arch- itecture, strongly suggest the east and the ancient traditions of the Jewish faith. It is beirg erected on strong and solid foundation: Its dimensions are ninety deep. Two tow- ers, with belvedere: feet above the sidewalk, a semi-circular window thirty feet in d ameter in the center portion of the facade, filled with stone tracery and the shield of.

The first story will coneain the school room: sembly hall, library and smaller room: while in the cellar below there are to be fireproof vaults constructed in which to store the records of the congregation. Two fireproof staircases are to lead to the au- ditorlum floor and from there to the gal- leries above. The most striking fenturel of the audi- torium will be a spacious dome, forty-five feet in diameter, supported by four col- umns arched between and all together pro- ducing a grand arched effect. The Hebrew congregation was chartered under the laws of Congress in 1854, but ft was not until some months later that an organization was fully effected. Until 1863, when the bvilding which is being re- placed was purchased from the congrega- tion of the Mount Vernon M. E. Church South, the society met in various halls in the central portion of the city. —_——-.—— .. $1.00 is the Rate to Baltimore and return next Sunday via the Pennsyl- vania railroad. ‘The best railroad entering the national capital.—Advt. ——— IN MEMORY OF FREMONT.

The trip can be made for lkss than $160, and can be made alone. I have met a man who pot « zanvas beat, packed it over the mountains alone, with his supplies, and came «ll the way lone. Of course, two or three together make things more comfortable. We did not lie down last night, looking for news—and sucn news.

They sz Pat says 200 tons it does the mark, and they will be fuifilled. There is lots of taik about starvation and all that this coming winter, because no provisions are coming and water is lower this time than for years. There will be no starvation, and but little real suffer- ing. There are 10) and 250 cattle (two bands) coming, but a little way back. Also 1,000 sheep that these dark prophets know not of. Besides, the snow does not fall deep, and man can travel up this river and its muddy banks better in winter than in summer. The mails go and come more reg- ularly in winter.than in summer. Men can go out, either up or down the river to tide- water, and to stores for supplies with ease and safety in the winter if the worst comes to the worst. Typhoid Breaks Out.

But, miners are run down by the excitem: exposure and poor food, and die eas Two miners who held out for eighty th: sand died the third day after securing their gold. Three men have been found dead from heart disease, they say, induced by too violent excitement. Good’ order, good nature, good heart prevail. Not a pistol to be seen. Any one with a pistol would be despised. There has not as yet been one personal encounter. True, the piteous “half-world” is here. Almost one hundred are here. The contests for her favors are always fearful and sometimes comical. For example, a newly- made millionaire arranged for a breakfast of ham and eggs by special invitation with a new arrival, and another new king, a rival, bought up all the eggs in Dawson at double cost, and even then did not win her. Another young fellow, a Portuguese prince said to be by some a retired bootblack, pays a woman one hundred dollars a on condition that she does not speak or dance with a certain miner. These are not fancy pictures of the life here. I have this last story from the man who has the sack and bonds for the party each day, and he pays it to the woman. I set these things down to show that gold is plenty. Gold is cer- tainly plentier here than ever in California. Five Dollars for an Onion. I found an onion in my pocket this morn- ing that I had packed over the Chilkoot’ Fass on my back. “I will give you a dollar for that,” said a miner in the crowd who had come down to see our barge. “No, sir, mother grew that onion in her garden, and the Inquirer crowd eats that onion if I have to eat it myself.” After a while, the man came back. “Say, T'll give you five dollars for that big onion. I want it for my sick friend,” He referred me to the doctor. Of course he got it, and the crowd was glad when the money was refused. You see, there is plenty to eat here, and there will be all the time, I believe, but such things as potatoes and green stuff are not to be had, and when a sick man wants them he wants them bad. A green- house would be a big fortune, and there is surely a good chance for one here. It is hotter here now than I. ever saw it in Washington city, or even New Orleans. We are cautioned not to start over the hill to the mines until almost sundown, because of the intense heat. Of course, it is awfu! cold, but then it is awful hot when it is hot. We started to the mines this morning. The road is said to be muddy, and we wear calashes, a sort of long-legged moccasin with the hairy side in. Childlike Faith. I never saw such humanity and such faith and trust in men; it is truly ideal. When you buy anything, whisky or what not, you hand a man your sack, he takes it and walks back and weighs out what he wants. A tenderfoot soon falls into this way and ceases to watch the mer- chant in a little while. There is not much mining being done. The rich men are in ro hurry in getting more; they are making themselves comfortable, getting their friends about them, preparing to take out their money as they please. It is said that there are about 2,000 men in the mountains prospecting. The most of them are on the headwaters of the Klondike and Stewart rivers, unexplored as yet. It is believed it will be proved that they will be grea’ ‘y men do not know how to prospect, or to mine either. It is hard for some men to get work, or to “get a lay.” A “lay” is a sort of working on shares for the season. I am told row that no one could work out one of these deep rich mines in a life- time. So the owners will sell off fractions or let men work them on shares, Primitive Mining.

But all old Californians laugh at the primi- tive way in which the men work the a ‘There is no tail race, no drain, nothii the sort. A man sinks a hole through feet of moss, then from three to ten feet of muck, half frozen often the first three feet, and the moss and muck are full of water when not frozen, so that it is im- possible to work in warm weather because of the water. Then there is from two to ten feet of gravel, gold bearing, then bed rock. Think of hoisting the frozen ground up in a bucket by windlass and dumping this to one side to wait for flowing water in sudden warm spring. I never heard otf such childish work in California. A miner would join in with all above him and be- low hm ard a cut for a claim would be made to the bed rock through such claim, and a flood of water turned in to wet the ground and wach it away. This leaves the gold. Seeing how they are mining now I can understand why the second washing will pay better than the first, because they will handle the dirt as it is handied in California. Sent Over the Dalton Route. I will close now. I write this letter to be sent out partly by steamer and partly by horseback over the new Jack Dalton trail from Fort Selkirk, the destination of the steamer, thinking’ that it may possibly reach the Inquirer by this new steamboat line before the large package of matter sent out yesterday by United States mail. I may mention that by this new route, by steamer and horseback, there is no walk- ing at all, one day by steamer, then ten days by horse, and you are at tidewater in Alaska, where we left the steamer City of Mexico. Men first in on this new line say that their horses packed 2300 pounds each and that they expect to bring in supplies by this route all winter, then bring them down by sled, sixty miles from Fort Bel- kirk, to the Klondike; and this I believe, for 1 have spent most of my early life in snowy mountains, and they are not at all terrible when the snow is frozen and the horses are sharpshod. No, there will be no starvation; the man who doubts Rag ad supplies will get here, where gold is waiting by the ton, mis- calculates American energy. As te the gold here, I can only say as the Queen of Sheba said to Solomon: “Behold, the half was not told me.” ——_-++-_____ $2.00 The nia Rallrerd $2.00 runs the only through trains to Atlantic City.
