Whatever may be said regarding the

that he has legions of friends and adj

A New EldOradO.

People some years ago smiled at the idea
of paying $1,000, 900 for Alaska, upon
the ground that the possession was value
less. From recent reports to the Treas
ury Department, from the Collector at
Sitka, it appears that the possession
promises to be a very valuable one-that
is, if the recent reports are verified.
The most important of the reports for
warded by the Collector is the one made
by a practical miner, who has been ex-
ploring Alaska. He reports that he has
found avery rich mining district
one of the richest in the world in natural
Indications. His report is very ample
in its details, and gives a most glowing
description of the untold wealth of this
newly discovered region.
The discovery of these mines involves
also an international question, as since
then some British Canadians have come
in and squatted upon the territory, claim
ing that it lies within the British do

Sitka is decidedly of the opinion that the

A Strange Incident at Sea.

A romantic incident occurred on the
last trip of the steamer Rotterdam, from
Rotterdam to New York. Among the
cabin passengers were q Mr.. Van Seller
and Miss Maria Reuter-, who were en-
gagged to be married. To give the event
an air of romance, they had decided to
have the ceremony performed on board
the ship in mid-ocean. On the evening
preceding the day fixed for the wedding
it transpired that the young lady was
the mans half sister. 1t appeared from
explanations given to the passengers that
Van Seller left his home in Amsterdam
when only ten years old, shipping as n
cabin boy on board a vessel bound for
the West Indies. He revisited his native
place after lapse OF five years, but find
ing that his father had died during the
interval, and that his mother had mar
ried again, he shipped once more and
did not return until about two months
ago, when he was unable to find any
trace of his mother. During a visit TO
Rotterdam he met Miss Reuter-, and an
attachment ut once sprang up between
them, which resulted in an engagement.
In talking about their early DAYS they
accidentally discovered their relationship
to each other. 1t has been arranged that
Miss Reuter- shall return on the next
steamer. The brother, being rich, will
provide for his sister.

Remedy for Bald Heads.

A man in Boston has discovered new
remedy for bald heads. 1t is to go bare
headed. He has tried the remedy for
two years, and whereas he was bald, his
head is now covered with hair. He
claims that the heat of the sun not only
promotes the growth of the hair, but
strengthens the brain. He says to any
and all who are troubled with lack of
hair or weak brain-and there are many
of them in Boston-try tit costs moth
ing and saves the expense of hat.
