Shelling a Village.

The shclling of an Alaskan village. Of
which so tragic an account was crrrent
some months ago, is described by Comdr.
Merriman of the navy, who did it, as a
wholly justi6able proceeding. Ho saws
that he is represented as wantonly burn
ing tho Indians houses, bedding and
winters food, and turning their women
and children to perish in the pitiless cold
of the Arctic night, simply because they
had made vague threat to destroy
property.
The true history, as he narrates it, is
as follows:
A medicine man of tho Hootsnoo
tribe, 80 miles from Sitlla,. was accidcn-
tally killed willie whaling with two
white men, whcreupon the tribo seized
the whites, demanded 200 blankets as
ransom, and finally waited to gel third
white man (as one of the two captured
had but ono cyc), intending then to put
two OF them to death--one for the medi-
cine man, and another for the death Of
an Indian while Telling timber, some
time before.
1t seems that it is either life for q
llie, or hundred blankcts-that being
the native valuation of an Indian, in
thor current money. They also took
possession of stCam-launch and other
property to the value of several thousand
dollars. Comdr. Merriman arrived at
the scene Oh the day whose evening
would have seen tho prisoners put to
death. He rescued them and immcdi-
ntcly demanded of the Indaus 400
blankets, told them if he did not receive
the blankets he should burn the town,
and gave them till the next day to COM
ply. They ut first said they would. and
then, sending him only 80 blankets, and
those stolen from the house of an absent
ch1cf-thoy took their winter provisions,
bedding and blankets into the woods and
deticd the officer.
Whcreupon he was as good as his
word, and, though he says he spared n
aumbcr of dwellings, to shelter them.
they were left under the impression that
he meant to destroy everything thcv
had, and he "wantcd them to think so"
lie adds that "thc propcry-holdcrs and
missionaries agree with me, and [ be
llevc the lesson will last the Indians Tor
a generation, although they rebuilt their
houses III month";"
He gives the Alaskans good charac-
ter III the maiu, and declares that, if tho
present prohibition of distilled liquors
were extended to malt liquors, and
schools established for the children, the
Alaska Indians would be a Valuable
population, for they are "at all times
willing to give an 'honcst days work lor
reasonable pay an attribute not ,,ns-
ScsSed by any other tribe within my
knowlcdgc."

The Mining Mania.

There was an Ex-Governor q few years
since whose business frequently called
him into some of the mining regions of
the West. One day he was approached
by wealthy ncighbor who, ditlidcntiy
suggesting chat he must see opportmi-
tics for excellent Investments, finally
offered him $50, 900 TO be invested in
mines
"Doy you know anything about mines ?"
asked his friend.
"No, nothing"
"Would you intrust me with $4,000
to be invested in railroad stocks or some
manufacturing enterprise, according to
my Judgment"
"No, / don't think would"
"ThCn in Gods nmc, man." shouted
the excitable Governor, "why should
you blindly give away your money to be
sunk in holes in the ground of which
neither you nor [ know anything ?"

Going Into Exile.

Capt. Thomas Osborne of the steam
ship which took Arab Pasha and his
companions in exile to Ccylon, and az
rived at Bombay on January 1G, has fur
nishcd the following account of the voy-
age: 1--WE took Arabi Pasha and his
associates and their families on board at
Sucz, and sailed from that port on Dc
ccmbcr 81, bound for Colombo. They
were scasicl for the first two or three
days. and after that they frightened up
and were always more Or less cheerful.
Eventually, i'll fact, they became as
happy us if they were going to paradise.
"Thc dullcst of the lot was Arubi.
The cXilcd party went ashore in four
squads. In the last oncwas Arab. On
landing the people crowded round him.
L should call it fairly mobbing one.
Some kissed his clothes, some got down
on their knees and kissed his boots. The
party were driven away in carriages to
the Cinnamon Gardens where they were
located III some handsome bungalows.
On the whole, L ,lo.:'t think any of them
regretted his lot. They mover exhibited
any symptoms of fear, and believed n
happy future to be before thcn."

A oman without country" is about
to appear before French Court for the
purpose of having a country assigned to
him. His name is GillcEcrt, Gc was
when Belgium formed part Of French
territory. On the ground that he was
not French citizen he was recently cx-
PEELED from France for mcnacing the
local authorities of n French Commune,
and escorted to the Belgin frontier. His
case was taken up i'll the Belgian CHAM
Der and the Ministry declared him to be

to be arrested for violating the decree
OF expulsion, in order that his national

Colds More Fatal Than Plaques.

DIR. Il. II. Bosworth, in n lecture on
"Colds and Their Consequences, before
the Young Mems Christian Association,
of New York City, said:
IN, elected colds, if We cnrlI trace
them through all their insidiouS Influences
10 their ultimate result, have been re-
sponsiblc for n far greater loss of lif th"u
has been caused by any of the terrible
scourgcs which, in the form Of cpidrmirS,
have d"cimat"d continents, carried ter
r"r and dismay throughout whole States
aId have CALLED forth the active Rympa-
Thy and generous charities of q continent.
This may seem n somewhat startling
statement, that this simple cold should
outweigh its consequences the mortality
of those terrible visitatiOns before which
the bravcst heart uncOnsciOusly shoulders:
and vet | believe it iS no Ovcrdrawm pie
turC, no cxaggcratiOn. One neglected
cold follows upon another, each recurring
with increased frequency, the parts ill
| vOlvcd approaching nearer to the vital
organs, and finally some Intent tendency ia
hcvrlOpCd some constitutional weakness
makes itself manifest. II docs not strike
IT'S victims with the sudden blow of the
scourgc, but working its i'll effects through
months, and perhaps years. still strikes
| with no less certain aim in the ono case
than in the other. | do. not como before
You as an alarmist, nor do | intend TO
draw an exaggerated picture, yet that it
is true ono / think cannot be qucs-
toned. That we survive colds and more
over maintain our health, is not all ex-
trcmcly difficult matter. 1t depends in
n large part on certain common sense in
matters of personal hygiene. Perhaps
in these none is 80 important as the
proper regulation of tho clothing"

An Authors Offence.

In Dresden, Julian Hawthorne the M.
thor. is credited with the following cx-
plot: He had been driven from the side
walk many and many time by the Ger
man officers, till finally one day coming
over the Elbc on one Of the bridges with
out n friend, he vowed that the next
German officer he met should Mt least
give him half of the sidewalk. He soon
met one, and neither being willing togivc
way, they walked directly into one M
other. Hawthorne did not bulge, ncith-
or would the German; they glarcd at
each other for few moments when the
German drew his sword and attempted
to strike Hawthorne with the fiat of the
blade. I'm twinRling Hawthorne
knocked the officer down, took his sword
away from him, broke it across his knee
and threw it into the Elbc. The dis
Grace of having lost his sword was so
great that the officer never dared to men,
ton the cmcImstmncH so Hawthorne
escaped without fine or punishment.

Booze and Blood.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon an
inebriated Swede whose name is not known,
materalized at the corner of Minnehaha
and Preble streets. A crowd of young
men were engaged in Sunday amusements
at the corner as the Swede showed up, and
the latter making overtures to join them
was summarily black-bailed. His wrath
thereby became excited and he put up his
hands with intent to put the crowd to
flight. Instead of fleeing, however, they
hung around complacently until the in
truder got to be altogether too demonstra-
tive. when some one pasted him over the
head with club which laid
him out. The crowd at this
juncture dumped the insensible
victim of their assault over a fence, and
fed. G. P. Rich who resides in the vicin-
1ty observed this latter portion of the pro-
ceedings and visited the scene. He found
the Swede laid out for what promised to
be an indefinite period, limp and apparent
| ly in the last pangs of dissolution. He i'm
mediately telephoned police headquarters
| tigate. Upon reaching the spot, the dying
| man, who had in the meantime recovered
sufficiently to change his base, was gone
without leaving his address. He was traced
to No. 612 Farquar street, but as fatal re
suits had not succeeded the assault, and nc
one in the neighborhood was willing o.
able to furnish any evidence that would
guide the police in making arrests, the!
