It wasn't funny; it was nice. Mr. Wade dld an incon | spicuous turn with a song “Tickle me’ in chief evidence. Spenser Kelly, aforementioned, pleases in solemn fashion in his barytene numbers. | He has a big voice, a good voice, and vou know he has been taught to sing by | way he says “Pretteee Mareee.” If Kelly took himself less solemnly he | d be in large peril or being a truly | rel.

Chace ARMY OF MEN BUILDING AOAD Five Thousand Laborers and by A Mechanies Employed by Railroad in Washington Epecial Dispatch to The Cail. TACOMA, Feb. 11.—Some conception of the extent of the work being done by the Northern Pacific on the north bank of the Columbia River may be gained from the assertion that 5000 men are now engaged in grading and construction operations. Danfel Kern, the railroad builder, who has just been investigating conditions on the north bank road, returned last even- ing. He took in a stretch of nearly 200 miles from Kennewick to Cape Horn, and found many hundreds of men at work. He estimates that fully 5000 men are now employed. “A great part of the grade is now ready for riprapping,’ he said to-day, ‘‘and there has also been considerable rock work done. Where the material of the river grade {s sand or light soil it will be)held in place by riprapping, which consists of steeping a rock wall to prevent the pre- valling winds from blowing the sand away. At Cape Horn a number of men are running a tunnel, and they have al- ready made considerable showing. The grade between Cape Horn and Kennewick follows the river bank, about ten feet above high water mark.” The Northern Pacific is bringing work- men from the East on free transportation in an effort to get the grading well along before the Harriman and St. Paul roads get their construction work started in this State. By early summer from 15,000 to 20,000 men will be building rafiroads In ‘Washington. CHINESE COMMISSIONERS ARE WELCOMED IN BOSTON Visitors Are Shown the Points of Historical Interest in the © .

The boat was abreast of Goat Island Light when a well dressed man who | was standing at the stern was seen to peer out into the darkness of the night and then make a wild leap Into the black, seething waters. An alarm was at once given, and the | engines of the steamer immediately re- versed. A lifeboat was at once low- | ered, and although but three minutes | elapsed between the time of the sound- | ing of the alarm and the boat striking | | water, no trace of the suicide was found. ‘After cruising in the vieinity | for some twenty minutes the ferry re- | sumed its course to Oakland mole.
