MOST FAMOUS DOG IN ALASKA IS DEAD D S o R o A S IR SR Y Y . )€ Mastiff That Hauled Thousands of Pounds of Freight. o e SRS LARENCE J. BERRY'S mastiff Julian, the most widely known dog in the faraway gold fields of Alaska, is dead. Exposure to the rigors of the northern climate put an end to the career of a dog which had traveled hundreds of miles over the pathless ice and had hauled thousands of pounds of freight. Mr. Berry first put him to work on a sled in 1895, when the dog hauled provisions for the season over the Chilkoot Pass. In the following vear the dog was the mainstay of the team which was used by Mrs. Berry when she went to join her husband. On this perilous trip all the dogs except Julian gave out and he had to haul the load, which weighéd over 1000 pounds, Dby himself across the frozen surface of Lake Bennett. When the party reached Dawson the dog hauled most of the lumber and material used by Mr. Berry in his mines and houses. So famous did Julian become that his owner was offered fabulous sums for him, but declined to consider any propesition which meant parting with his faithful servant. ; In 1898 the dog suffered from rheumatism brought on by exposure. This ren- dered him useless as a draft,animal. Mr. Berry sent him to Fresno for treat- ment and as he did not improve there he was sent to Santa Cruz, where he remained several months. Disease had so strong a hold on him that he could not shake it off. He finally succumbed to a complication of canine aliments. in- | S A A A A A A A A A A | Sutton's Master Lawrence vs. J.

He will be a drawing attraction. . e e Marguerite Merington's bright little comedy, ‘“‘Captain Lettarblair,” attracted a quite large audience at the California yesterday afternoon. James Neill, in the title role, seemed happier in the part, as far as naturalress iS concerned. than in anything he has yet played. One forgot Mr. Neill for the nonce and saw only the ay, dashing, true-hearted Irish captain. Miss Chapman evened up the honors as Fannie EHaddon, her scene with Lettar- blair in his room at the barracks being especially charming and true in concep- tion. Julia Dean as the ingenue has a pretty little part, and Lillian Andrews is good as usual. en Howard was born the “heavy villail and McVicar's Dean Ambrose is a good ecclesiastical portrait. Shackelford, Burton and George Bloom- quest complete the effective cast.
