No Rest for Cinnamon in Alaska.

On the 18th ult the mining town of
Juneau, Alaska, was startled by ter
rife explosion about 5 o'clock in the
morning, when everybody was asleep.
Everybody rushed TO find the occasion
of it. On investigation it was found
that somebody had put large case of
dynamite under house occupied by
a half-dozen Cinnamon. The explo-
sion was SO great that it completely
destroyed one side of the house but
fortunately it did not hurt any of the
Cinnamon. The explosion was SO heavy
that it did great amount of damage
to several stores in the neighborhood
and especially to some drug stores
that were in the same block. On the
following day the citizens held a
meeting and raised sum Of 81, 500 as
reward for tho arreat and conviction
of the parties who caused the explo-
sion, but to the present have not been
able to find the guilty ones, and if
they had been found, with the feeling
there was in Juneau, there is no
doubt they would have been lyncched
by the citizens.

by the men now engaged in cutting

dant walls aroused the slumbering

squaw who dropped into the chilly
waters was loaded down with heavy
blankets and it was with the utmost
difficulty that she was saved Just as
she was reached by one Of her associ-
ates she was disappearing beneath
the ice, but her long and flowing
tresses served as preserver. The
unfortunate being was nearly dead

Roosevelt on Cow Boys and Indians.

In recent lecture In New York
Theodore Roosevelt gave additional
evidence of his admiration for the COW
boy and his contempt for the Indian.
Here is an extract: Il suppose I
should be ashamed to say that I take
the western view of the Indian. /
don't go SO far as to think that the
only good Indians are the dead In
dians, but I believe nine out of every
ten are, and I shouldn't like to in
quire too closely into the case of the
tenth. The most vicious COW boy has
more moral principal than the aver
age Indian. Turn 800 low families Of
New York into New Jersey, support
them for fifty years in vicious idleness
and you will have some idsa of what
the Indians are. Reckless, revenge
ful, fendishly cruel, they rob and
murder, not the CIV boys, who can
take care of themselves, but the de-
fenceless, lone settlers on the plains
As for the soldiers. an Indian chief
once asked Sheridan for a cannon.
What! do you want to ILL my sold
ers with it, asked the general No.

boy; Kill soldier with club

A Curiosity.

AnNevada exchange says that away
down IN the southwest Of Nevada
there is a remarkable cave in the side
Of the mountains. Near by a little
rill of water pours down the slope
soon to be swallowed up by the thirsty
soil. The broken-off shafts Of arrows
are to be seen sticking in the soft rock
that constituted the roof of the cathe-
dral-like dome 1t is said that many
years ago a party of the race Of Sho-
shonas were driven into this cave by
their hereditary enamies the Piutes
Their defense was SO stubborn that
the Utes proposed peace, and in this
cave the council was called, and the
peace made was to last SO long as
single arrow remained imbeded in the
rock overhead One by one the lore
Of Indian tradition is folded up and
steals on moccasin tread into the
realms of shade. His canoe is disap-
pearing from our lakes. In the fast
ness of Arizona he utters now his last
red and lurid protest. Who can wit
ness the passing away of the only real
American race without an emotion of
of pity for their fate.

Chinese New Year.

The custom OF celebrating their
New Year has been kept up by the
Chinese in this country since their
advent, and for two weeks from the
End Of February OF each year the
time Is devoted to mutual entertain
ments and congratulations, and is OBJ
served as general holiday by the ee-
lestials. The better class Of the Chi
nese issue little slips Of red paper, on
which is printed in Chinese charact-
ers an invitation to call at his home
or place of business and partake of
his hospitality These invitations are
sent to friends and acquaintances, and
mutual calls are made and general
good feeling prevails. On the tables
may be seen all kinds Of meats, Chi
nese candies, bottles Of Chinese
whisky and gin, cigars and cigarettes.
The custom. when at first observed by
the Chinese in San Francisco, was i'm
posed upon the lower classes of the
white element, who entered every
':open house. in the Chinese quarter,
and not only helped themselves to
whatever they desired at the time, but
filed their pockets with cigars and
cigarettes. At present persons wish
ing to see the sights in the Chinese
quarter at New Years are escorted
around under charge Of a police Off
Ger, and many ladies and gentlemen
take advantage Of this to stately their
curiosity to see how the heathens live
and enjoy themselves.-Town Talk.

The disposition to help the Red man
along by liberal legisletion in the path
towards self-support and citizenship
is growing very strong. Nearly all
the general and comprehensive

to empower the Government to buy
the surplus lands of the Indians at

Col. Markham at Home.

Hon. H. H. Markham, Member of Con
gress from this District, arrived home Sat
urday night, and spent the day yesterday
partly at his Office and partly in visiting his
business acquaintances. His family is now
In Washington, but the Colonel will remain
in Los Angeles aud Pasadena about ten
days and then return to Washington.
The Colonel says he is proud to rep
resent the Sixth District, and If he
should have his choice throughout the ma
ton he would rather represent this District
than any other in the land.
He also stated that the petitions sent to
him from Los Angeles and the statistics
which he presented to Congress gathered
from the HERALD and other newspapers
were the most complete and convincing be-
fore the proper committees than from any
other section of the country.
He is confident that the additional appro-
priations for this coast whicn failed to pass
at the last session will pass at the next ses-
sion. They are in such a state OF forward
ness before the House that their passage
seems assured. He will give his most earn
est attention in pressing all OF the Pac1hc
Coast appropriation bills to passage.
The health of the Colonel has been much
improved by his vacation among the pine
woods OF Wisconsin and he returns to his
winters work with increased vigor.
