Alaskan Women.

The matrons of high fashion and
the swell damsel of the Thinket tribes
never make a canoe voyage without
smearing themselves well with black
dye that they get from ertain wild
root of the woods or with a paste of
SCOT and seal-oil On sunny and
windy days on shore they protect
themselves from tan and sunburn by
this same inky coating, On feast
days and great occasions, when they
wash off the black, their compilations
ceme out as fair aud creamy white as
the palest of their japanese cousins
across the water, and the women are
then seen to be some six shades light
er than the tan-colored and coffee
colored lords of their tribe. The
specimen woman at Juneau wore a
thin calico dress and thick blue
blanket. Her feet We're bare, but she
was compensated for that loss of gear
by the turkey-red parasol that she
poised over her head with all the COM
placency of a Mount Desert belle.
She had blacked her face to the edge
of her eyelids and the roots of her
hair; she were the full parure of sill
yer nose-ring, lip-rings, with five
silver bracelets on each wrist, and
fifteen rings ornamenting her bronze
fingers, and more thoroughly proud
and self-satisfed creature never ar
rayed herself according to the behests
of high fashion.

Bill Cooks Dog.

One day last week our reporter
overheard colored man, who lives
some five miles below Blakely, tell
ing a merchant in this place that he
had the best dog in the State, He
said it was worth fiften bales of low
middling cotton. In proof of this he
asserted that the dog had treed $50
coons this fall, all of which were cap
tured by Bill, the dog not lying in a
single instance. Bill says he has car
ried home 179 fox squirrels as re-
membrarce of his industrious hound.
Fourteen deer's horns adorn Bills
residence, all on account of the sa-
gacity of his unerring purp. Twenty
three wild turkeys have gobbled their
last time, all because Bills long cared
animal discovered their feeding
place. One hundred and ninety
three 'possums have been carved for
Bills Sunday dinners, owing to their
inability to hide from this wonderful
dog Cat squirrels innumerable at
test to to his value as trailer. Nine
teen catamounts have made their last
raids upon the farm yard, thus at
testing to his remarkable fighting
qualities.

NEW ENGLAND.
Getting Wiser on the Tariff--Rer
Manufacturers are Getting Tired
of Protection.

Getting Wiser on the Tariff--Rer
Manufacturers are Getting Tired
of Protection.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The feeling
in Massachusetts and various parts of
New England is said to be rapidly
undergoing a change in respect to
the tariff. Their high-tariff senti-
ments are weakening. Rational views
of national industrial economy are
repidly finding expression among
manufacturers and men interested IN
manufactures. They are intently
studying the problem of American
progress and it is amazing how gem
eral is becoming the idea that lower
tariffs especially on raw materials
are essential to the continued pros
perity of American manufacturers.
They claim that the greater efficiency
of our labor more than counterbal-
anees its greater cost from higher
scale of wages; and that with cheaper
materials ant .cheapening all along the
line, from towering of the tariff, our
manufactures could contend success
fully for the patronage of the world.
Besides, in New England many man
ufactures are springing up of The finer
kind. They get no help from the
tariff but are hampered by it at every
step. 1t is predicted that the loudest
advocates for low-duties will soon be
the manufacturers of the New Eng
land states. 1t is asserted that Massa
chusetts would go democratic if 8
clear bold declaration for revenue
tariff were made. The movement IL
turning away from protective theor
les is one of disgust that they have
been humbugged and misled by sucl
| a delusion.

The Fire at Shenandoah.

CHARLESTON. Nov. lathe streets
are crowded with people viewing the
ruins. The burned district covers an
area of five acres. The ruins are
smouldering and an unhealthy odor
issues from wkere the butcher shops
were situated. Where the Methodist
Episcopal and Presbyterian churches
stood bare cellars are only visible.
Rebuilding has begun. A majority OF
the business houses had no insurance,
therefore everything was lost.
hlrs. Phillip Wolf, rescued from
burning building by firemen,
died from fright. Her husband
lost all his property. Geo. Horton,
whe had his legs cut of also died this
morning. Geo. Whitakea, aged p,

Apprentices Not Allowed to Marry

The chief of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing has issued an order
to the effect that those apprentices of
the baseau who marry during their
apprenticeship will not have an OPP
portunity to complete their term of
apprenticeship in that bureau. Capt
Burrill states that there are several
reasons for this, and while those af-
fected may not be pleased with the is
suance of the order, he is satisfied that
in after life there are but few who will
not thank him for it. While he does
not wish to interfere with the personal
matters of the employees, he says that
he is impelled to issue this order for
the good of the employees, as also the
good of the office; that, when the ap-
prentices marry, the fact that their
compensation will not enable them to
support a wife leads them to become
more anxious to make big bills than
to turn out good work and to keep up
its quality.

Nothing new yet from Petoskey, eX-
cept heavy gale again this afternoon.
The Democrats special from Sauga-
tuck says: The Chicago tug "Protec-
ton is in distress off here with her
helm wheel disabled, short of fuel,
and a crew of nine on board. Her
tow, the schooner Arab, with q crew
of men, is reported ashore 10 miles
south of Grand Haven. The St Joe
life saving crew reached Saugatuck
at 5 80 p. m. but could not get line to
tug and will make no further effort
till morning, on account of heavy
gale and high sea. The protection is
valued at $1,000 and insurance is
said to have run out few days ago.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-A Daily News,
Toronto, special says; The steamer
Francis Smith, of the Coliingvood
and Port Arthur line, left Colling-
wood the latter part of last week with
one hundred passengers. She is over
due and nothing has been heard of
her and, as she is old and not very
staunch, it is feared she went down
in the storm of Sunday night with
all on board.
CHICAGO, Nov. 13. Vessel men
here do not credit the report from
Grand Haven that the schooner Arab
is lying off that port; they say ii
must be some other vessel. That
it is not possible for the
Arab in her leaking condition,
requiring the constant use of two
steam pumps to keep the water out OF
her to live out the tempest of Sunday
night. They make no doubt
but that she has gone to the bottom
and her crew with her, unless
taken off by the tug Protection. " a
stiff breeze is blowing tonight from
the northwest The lake is rough
and further disasters are anticipated
