THE LATE FRANCIS PALMS.

The Romantic Family History of De-
troit's Dead millionaire.
The pontifcal high mass of requiem which
was recently celebrated in the old cathedral
of Detroit marked the close of the career of
Francis Palms. 1t was notable from the fact
that 800 employees attended the service us a
tribute to their late master, while numerous
insurance, banking and mercantile institu-
tions in which he was interested when alive
also sent representatives, for the dead man
had been a millionaire merchant prince of
Michigan. Little did the public know of the
old mans private life, for he seldom spoke of
1t, but the romance of his sons life throws a
little light on that of his fathers.
The father of Francis Palms was a secre-
tary of Napoleon /, and when Waterloo
came it brought disaster to him as well as the
French emperor. He came to America and
tried Detroit, but not finding the city of the

NATIVE NUTS AND CACHE.

Their houses are similar in form to those
seen throughout the western portion Of
Alaska, viz, built of timber and earth, under
ground. Their caches, raised on poles, are
receptacles for dried salmon and other food
for winter supplies. Salmon forms the main
food, and as the run of these fish upon the
Nushegak is immense, large quantities are
stored. Numerous small rivers empty into
the Behring sea, the Ugashik and Tagiak
being the principal ones, while the second
largest riyerof the territory, the ~Nushkoquim,
emhouches into Bristol bay. Numerous gla.
ciers are seen on the shores of Lake Hanna,
the clear, blue Ice appearing like a mirror set
In a deep, somber framework of green spruce
and brown rocks. Some interesting forms OF
glacial action may also be seen. the cliffs
being worn almost smooth by ice II the
rocks chiseled as if by human hands.
The entire Alaska peninsula presents pic.
arestfue, and, with its large lakes and tIlcir
s'ontlerful scenery, is one OF the most inter.
Sang portions OF the territory.

He next persuaded the isolated tribes to
merge their interests into one government.
The object of this was to do away at once and
forever with the annoying river tolls and
stoppages., Once belonging to one govern

would be free to travellers and traders from
mouth to source. Concessions to. this effect
were obtained Inc ratified.
1T was under the auspices of King Leopold,
of Belgium, that the state was founded
Something more was thought necessary to
establish it on a firm foundation. Formal
recognition of the new nation was deemed
necessary from the governments of Europe
and America. An official agreement with
France and Portugal must ''delimit" their
boundaries and give the Free State full sway
along the Congo.
African chiefs to the number of $50 had
joined the international Association Of the
Free State of the Congo. There was con-
siderable discussion in the United States con-
gress at first about recognizing the new state.

THE ON THE MOVE.
From November until May the river is
frozen over, and then the hunting season
commences. Moose, deer and grouse abound
in the mountainous district between the lakes
Of the northern portion of the peninsula.
The snow lies very deep in the forests, and IL
requires the aid of snowshoes to traverse the
country when engaged on sled trips or hunt
ing expeditions. In the summer travelling Is
done by means of a .hree-hole kyack, portages
stud the country.
Lake Hanna is the largest body of fresh
water in the territory. 1t requires from
to three days to cross from shore to shore.
High mountains, some extinct volcanoes,
others only partially smoldering, border on
the lake. It has been supposed that Lake
Baikal, in Siberia, was the only interior
body Of fresh water into which seals run up
from the sea, but investigation proves that
thespotted seal also frequents the waters Of
Lake Hanna. Lake Teechak is another large
body of fresh water, but its position has not
yet been definitely placed upon any Alaskan
chart. The natives at Nushegak and upon
the Alaska peninsula are 7docile, and possess
similar traits to those of the Eskimo race.
Schools are about to be established among
them. Although perhaps without much sue
cess at the outset, they may eventually be
somewhat educated. At present the people

0UR reporter, taking bis cue from
the active city Of Hagerstown. out
lines in to-day's CAPITAL very ex-
celIent and feasible scheme for max
ing known the unusual advantages
our city possesses as . location for
busy trade.
There are many places much less
favored by nature, where the hum of
industry is heard on every hand !;
where business thfives; where me-
chanics are employed the year round !;
where enterprise is rewarded; and
thrift and prosperity are the rule. not
the exception, among their citizens.
None Of these places have become
thrifty without a determined effort
on the part of their inhabitants. They
have not kept their light hid under
bushel. On the contrary they have
availed themselves of every OPP
portunity of bringing themselves into
prominence. They have put their
own shoulders to the wheel and freely
used the power of the printing press.
Fifty or a hundred thousand copies
of a book made up as suggested by
our reporter, would not cost much
money; and as all would contribute,
the expense would scarcely be felt BY
the most liberal. The plan is .
feasible one, and We hope some one
or more Of our citizens who have the
ability and leisure will take the
initiative.
