At Juneau in the panhandle of Alaska the journey begins with a steamer rids of 100 miles to D. at the head of naviga- Canal. Here begins that fearsome climb ov'r Chilcoot Pass and down to the head of Like Linderman, twenty-three of the longest miles made from Dyea. A few miles of packing or rafiing brings one to Lake Bennett, where timber for voats may be found.

Re- garding it and the evolution of Alaskan | geographical knowledze, Professor Dayid- | son yesterday made this statement: | “Ing CALL'S map of the gold region of Alaska is founded on the best information in possession of the Coast and Geoletic Survey at Washington, with additional data from special explorations and such as I thought trustworthy from men who | bave come down from that country. Its scale is sich that many details are neces- sarily omitted, but it is reliable in the lo- cation and general direction of all water- courses, in distances and in the location of the principal landmarks and the boundary line. “There will b2 no complete and ac- cuarate map of this great region for a good while. There is an ex-raordinary lack of accurate geographical information about the region, aside from the xukon River itseif. The charts that explorers have made have been made with distances esti- mated and without The charts by twatka and o’hers are unreliable for this reason. McGrath and Turner, while locating the boundary in 1888-89-90, aid more than all the others in fixing points up ana down the river by instrumental ob ervations. *Itis bard to estimate d's'ances when | traveling under difficulties in a country like that.

B, Dyer, whose husband is in the Kiondyke, | wishes to contradict the stories circulated concerning her “‘great find.” This evening she published the following card: Fearing the stories circulated concernigg my husband, J. B. Dyer, may create a wrong impression end induce many to go to Alaska without means, I beg to state that the claim which promises to be valuable is as yet un- op:ned, and instead of returaing this fall he will remain in Alaska and develop the prop- erty.

Mrs. Dyer says she bas heard it is re- that her husbaud has sent ler $400,000 and other ridiculous stories.

Howe Elopes With Mrs. James Newman. Was the Most Trusted Friend of the Husband Whom He Wronged. A Constable Searching for the Pair With Warrants for Thelr Arrest. LOS ANGELES, Car, July 24.—The people of Pomona are just now passing through a period of subdued excitement very similar to that which so recently de- manded the attention of all Los Angeles people who took an interestin elopements in high life. Pomona has had an elope- ment of married persons. The scandal was made public in this city to-day by the appearance of Constab'e Frank Slan- ker of Pomona, who is trying to locate Dr, C.F. Howe and Mrs. James Newman, who are supposed to be either here or at Long Beach, As the doctor cannot be found his side of the story is not obtainable, but the hus- band who claims to bave been wrongea has freely told his sorrows. James Newman is a furaiture dealer in Pomona, baving come to that city last January from Seattle. His wile, Ahce, who is a daughter of Watson Allen, a wealthy lumberman of Seatile, and a 16- year-old son accompanied him. It is said tbeir married life was happy until a ser- pent came into the family circie. The serpent was, according to Newman'’s story, Dr. C. F. Howe, a native of San Francisco, who also was possested of a wife and young son. Howe's wifs is a niece of the weil-known canner, Lusk of San Fran- cisco. They were m «rried in the Bay City. Newman and Howe both belonged to the same lodge of Forasters in Pomona and the acquaintance batween them seemed to ripen into closest friendship. The Newman home was always open to Dr. Howse and it is related that between the doctor’s visits to the Newman home . Newman visited bim. At first the s did not occasion comment, but gos- tongue soon began to wag, though no flagrant act was then made public to justify repeating rumors in anything but whispers. On June 1 Newman and his wife departed for Seattle for a visit. On the 15th of the month Dr. Howe and wife a!so left Pomo- na, it being given out that they were go- ing to Montana, Newman says that shortly after arriving n Seattle his wife tola him that she real- ized she and he could not Itve together happily and it would be best to separate. The Lusband, mild-mannered as usual and weakened somewhat by invalidism consented, and at her solicitation gave her a quitciaim deed to all their community property, worth about $7010, with power of attorney to dispose of it as she pleased. They daid not separate, however, the ar- rangement being apparently satisfactory. Then came a telegraphic dispatch 10 New- man to come to San Francisco on import- ant business. He went down, but the man whose name had been signed to the message disciaimed all knowledge of it. About che time New- man reai z>d he had been tricked he re- ceived another message, this ume irom Seattle, telling him his wife bad gone away. He went north at once, and learned that during his absence his wife bad departed with a dark-haired man, leaving the little boy at home. Realizing th:t he was deserted, but ignorant ot the identity of the dark-haired man, Newman came back to the south. On reaching Pomona he went to call on his bosom friend, Dr. Howe, to seek sym- pathy and countel, and was amazed to fearn that Howe had ieft town. Still unsuspecting, Newman let the time pass on without his doing anything, until finally Dr. Howe reappeared in Po- mona and was met face to face by New- man, The latter, all unsuspecting, gave a cordial greeting to his old-time friend, and the two were seen together in various partsof town, and even had arranged to g0 to church together. Duaring their conversation Howe told Newman that he had made $500 in Mon- tana by setting the broken arm of a rich miner, and with the money he was going to pay all his debts in Pomona. Later Newman suzpected he knew where that money came from. That same evening Howe disappeared again, and then for the first time Newman be- gan to believe the warning that had been given him by lodge brethren that Howe was the despoiler of his home. A few days later Howe reappeared upon the street, and was met by Newman, who ac- costed him with these words: *“Well, how are the folks?"’ What folks?” axked Howe. “Oh, you know very well what folks 1 mean, and I ought to kill you,' said New- man, as angrily as he could. Then, according to Newman, the doctor acknowledged his guilt, but pleaded that he was infatuated with Mrs, Newman and she was dead in love with him, and 1t was proper for taem to be together. Tnen Newman says Howe offered him $500 to appense his wrath, but the money was de- clined. Dr. Howe said Mrs. Newman was a sick woman and he would make her well so she could come back to her iius- band. ‘‘Never!” shouted Newman. “Never shall she come back to me! Now you have her you must support her all her life, or Tl kill you,” There was not much more to that inter- view, but Howe went away again, o- tensibly to Long Beach, butit is thought he is in the city. 1f the Constable, who is also a Deputy Sheriff, can find the pair, it is thought the two will be arrested. It is claimed by Newman that the money Howe boasted of possessing had been obtained from Mrs. Newman, who had sold a $2000 Iotin Pomona for $50. He alsoclaims that 1t was Howe who 1n- duced Mrs. Newman to demand the abso- lute posse sion of their community prop- eriy. RETURNS TO GRASS VALLEY. James Scandl/ing, Who Wcs Escorted Out of Town by Miners, Braves T eir Wrath, GRASBVALLEY, Cavn, July 24 —James Scandling, a miner, who openly de- nounced the local Miners’ Union and was waited ubon by several hundred members of that organization last night, escorted to Colfax and warned never to return to this city, returned to Grass Valley to-day. He was armed with a revolver, which could be plainly seen protruding from his hip pocket. He swore out complaints against those who took him away, but no warrants have been served. This aiternoon the miners were called in from every mine in the vicinit, special meeting was held to con matter. Sheriff Getchell and Deputy Pascoe are on the ground, but do not expect any vlo-l ford, Massachuset lence. It is rumored that Scandling has fgcid;d to join the union if it will accept im. AT THE SEASIDE, Many Well Known in Society Who Are Now at Lel Monte and Pacific Grove, DEL MONTE, CAL, July 24.—Lovely Del Monte is learning & new word of late. The word is “revivel” and applies to many things, chief of which, by the way, is the public inter- estin this sttractive resort. Even though all the world says “gotoSan Rafael or Castle Crag” thissame world finds itself in no respect as comfortable as in gone days, wnen to summer at Del Monte was the thing 1o do. Hence the revival. Another way in which the newly acquired word applies is the renew- al ot old-time Sports, one of whi-h is croquet For many years tnis game has been voted the dullest of the dull by those who know, but recently experts have taken it up, and now it has resched a degreeof scientific interest truly astonishing. There are many good croquet players staying here, and in the afternvon the croquet grounds are quite full of players and interested lookers-on. Since George F. Whitney grrived here, where he is in training for future victorics, ténnis is topic of uniy interest, and all the rac- quet-wielders hereabouts seem swe:ling with pride oecause of the champlon's presence among them. Tne tennis'cour:s are kept very lively and many pre'ty games may be seen. Salmon-fishing continues to hold its own for the fishermen at the hotel, aud this week Thomas Lewis holds the palm for expert mantpulation of the hook end line, having cenght cight big fellows since the week begau. There seems danger of a salmon flood in the culinary regions if this luck continues amoug the amnteurs. 7 sSeveral private equipages have come down for the senson. Notavle amoug these are R. M.

It Is Situated in Livcolnshire and Coa- tains Over 2500 Acres. It may not generally be known, but it is a fact, that the largest farm in England is in Lincoinshire. Five miles from Louth, on the Louth ard Lincoln line, is the parish of Withecall. The farm occupies the entire parish, and its area is upward of 2550 acres, Near!y 2000 acres are under | the piough, and from that may be gath- ered an idea of the number of .orses re- quired to work this large undertaking. The farm is so larpe tnat three yards are needed. They are named the North Yard, the South Yard and the Home Yard. There is also a smaller mentary one—the New Farmstead. cottages form the homes ot the laborers at the North and South yards, whiie near tho Home Yard is situated Withcall House, the residence of J. W. Ward E«q., the lessee of the farm. The railway runs close by. Near are-also the church—a prettily built edifice and pleasantly situ- ated—the rectory and the schools. The district is very hilly, and in consequence of this there have been made two iarge cuttings o as to form a road to the North Farm. In oneof them may be se<n a thin ved of faller’s earth. Down the valley, which is crossed by an embankment formed of the chalk taken fiom the cnttings, may be seen a small reservoir. This supplies the whole parish with water. Some vears ago the owner, Mr. Clayton, caused pipes to b laid all over the farm, 50 as to supply both houses and cattle. The water is forced from the reservoir by a very ingenious contrivance, consisting of a water-wheel and ‘‘donkey” pump. There are, roughly speaking, about six miles of water-pipes. The water is ex- ceptinnally good, and throuzhoutthedri- et of summers there is always a constant supply. There are a large number of animals on the place, including about seventy work- ing horses, upward of 500 beasts, 3900 sheep, and pigs at the last “'census’’ num- bered 100. Tne farm is made up of large fields, eight of which are over 100 acres in area. A few yeurs ago the owner caused one of the felds to be cut up, for its area was over 500 acres. A part of the same field now measures 130 acres. A steam cultivator, with two nower u! locomotives, is constauntly at work, while twelve horses may often be se:n plowing in one field. The cattle are sent into the ““marshes” for the summer and brought home in the autumn. Everything is clean and neatly kept, and it requires no great discrimina- tive power to kncw when the limit of Withcall farm is reached. feature is the plowing, for the " take a perfect pride in their fur- rows, and if any one wants to see a furrow a quarter of a mile long and as straight as expansive farm. Agriculturat depression does not seem, outwardiy at any rate, to affect this di: trict to any remarkable degree. Theaver- age wage is 2834 per day for six days, all of equal lengtly, no Saturday half-holiday being allowed hereabout. Potatoes are largely grown by the labor- ers, who by the kindness of their master are enablel to have a large plat of land in the fields, besides their own gardens. Scientitic farming there is none here, but all eagaged have long experience on the land, and know how best to derive from it the greatest benefit.—Tit-Bits. e e e SIR ASTLEY OOOPER. cap Thrown at Him for a Fee. Living as long as he did in the city—in Broad street—Sir Astley Cooper, the most distinguished surgeon of hie time, made a very large income, which, however, nat- urally enough, rose and fell somewhat in In one year, says a writer, he made 20,000 guineas, and for many years his income was over £15,000. From one Mincing-lane merchant, whom he usnally visited at Croyden, Sir Astley derived for a long period an annual revenue of £600. Large individual fees, of course, were also paid by the wealthy traders and financiers on special occasions, and once, and orce only, 8ir Astley received—and A West India millionaire, of the name of Hyatt, during a painful and critical opera- tion which ne had to undergo, was attended by Drs. Lettson and Nelson as physicians, and by Sir Astley Cooper as surgeon. The operation was successful, and the patient feltin himself the promise of recuvered health and spirits. He did not wait for his tomplete recovery to evince his sense of gratitude and joy, and romptly rewarded his physicians with a ee of 300 guineas each. “*As for you, sir,” the millionaire said, sitting up in bed and addressing himself to Sir Astley, ‘‘you, sir, shall have some- thing better than that; there, sir, take that’’; and he flung his nightcap at the graat surgaon. Sir Astley picked up the nightcap, say- ing, “Sir, I pocket the affront!” And on reaching home he found in the cap a check tor 100 guineas. In his younger days, however, Sir Astley had sowed, by anxious and ill-r warded waiting, the seeds of his subse- uent great renown and revenue; in his first year of practice his profits were bat five puineas: in his second, twenty-six pounds; in his third, thirty-four, and only in his ninth did his income mount above a thousand pounds.—Pearson’s Weekly. PR S L Women Bicyclists Attacked by a Horse, A most unu-udl incident occurred on the Daumbarton road, near Glasgow, on Tuesday aiternoon, the 11lth inst., three lady cyclists being suddenly confronted and attacked by a riderless horse. Thev had dismount:d and stood aside to let it pass, but instead of doinx so it stopped and attemvted to seize them. Dropping their bicycies in alarm upon the road, they tried to run past the animal, but it was on the alert and twice leaped over the bicycles in its eftorts to reach them. They then made for a hedge by the roadside and two of them managed to crawl safely beneath it out of reach. The third, how- ever, was not so lucky. Beiore she could escape the animal had seized her hat with its teeth and torn it from her head. It next made a snatch at her back, but was unable to fix its teeth in her clothes. At this point several men came to her aid, beat off the animal with sticks and led it back to a farm from which it had escaped. One of the machines was somewhat dam- aged by the horse, but fortunately all the ladie= were able to ride home.—Scottish American, ————— Testimony in w recent suit in a Paris court developed the fact that a fashion- able underiaker’s charze for embalming the body of an American is £120.
