FRENZIED PEARL SEEKERS.
Sugar River Rich In the Beautiful
Jewels.

ALBANY, Wis, Letter to Milwaukee sentinel.l
For six days this village has been III u
tumult of excitement over pearl finds in
Sugar river, until ut this time people
have reached u mental condition border.
Ing on frenzy. 1t seems strange and
almost incredible that among the pebbles
that lie in the bed of Sugar river there
should be found the mos, beautiful
pearls that connoisseur ever looked
upon. But II is fact, and fabulous us
II may seem, there have been pearls
taken from this stream within the last
week which, it placed upon the market,
would bring thousands OF dollars.
The story of peuri finding in the Sugar
river dates back about "a year, when u
young man came here. an entire stranger
TO everybody. No one seemed to know
his business, but he hired u boat every
day and drew up CLAIMS out of tho river.
He seemed to be extremely sccretivc aud
after awhile had plenty OF money. Oc-
casionally he would become intoxicated,
and during these times he would say
That he was getting rich ut his business.
Tie spent so much money that folks be-
gan to look upon him with suspicion,
deriding the idea that fishing for clans
brought him riches. His movements
became exceedingly mysterious and he
was watched. Az last the secret was
out, for OH Sunday he again become in

explanation Of his strange conduct drew
from his pocket handful of poarle,
which he exhibited. Tho gems wels

and others were of rich golden tint.

town. Even at daybreok the news had
spread throughout the village that the
river was tecming with pearls and that
every ugly clamsshcil concealed pre-
rious gem. An hour after sunrise the
village seemed possessed with an un-
sontrollablc frenzy. Men, women and
children ran from their homes TO the
banks of the river and plunged into the
water, ,ligging for clans. Garden rakcs
were used to- pull the clnmslells 70 the
land, and then the task OF opening the
shells began. At noon thc river was

tAndrew Lang in September scribne

lAnuteW Lang III SeptcmDcr SCrlDNer
He could not even turn n dog out of
doors. At his Abbotstord ,''Alontc
Cristo," the gates were omen 10 every
body but bailifis. His dog asked other
dogs to come and stay; twelve came,
making thirteen in all. The old butler
wanted to turn them adrift, and Duulas
consented, and reponted.
"Michel," he suid, "there are some
expenses which mans social position

"No, no, Michel; let fourteenth

pounds n month" said Dumas. "a din

thrice as much, and, when they went
home, they would say my wine was
good, perhaps, but certainly that my
books were bad" In this fiishion Dumas

DELIGHT OF BATTLE,
Alexander Dumas and Sir walter
Scott Placed In Comparison.

The tragic death of the most famous
duelist OF the Pacific coast, albeit per-
haps the most arrant coward, has re-
vived AN interest in literature touching
contests at arms. Although not antici-
pating this, Andrew Lang has accidental
ly struck popular chord in an article
on Alexander Dumas" in the Septem-
Der Scribner:
He may fall short of the humor. the
kindly wlsdos, the genial greatness of
Sir Walter OF his best and he has not
that supernatural touch, that tragic
grandeur tliut Scott inhcrits from Ho-
mer and from Shakespeare. In another
Ilomeric quality, in the delight of bat
tie'' and the spirit of the fray, Scott and
Dumas are alike masters. Their fights and
tho fights In tine Icclandic sagas are the
best that have ever been drawn bymortal
man. When swords are aloft, in siege or
on the green sward, or in the midnight
chamber where tn ambush Is laid, Scott
and Dumas are indeed themselves
The steel rings, the bucklers clash, the
parry and lungc pass and answer too
swift for the sight. If Dumas has not
osophy and kindly knowledge OF the
heart which are Scotts, he is far more
swift, more witty, more diyerting. lie
Is not prolix, his style is not involved,
his dialogue Is as rapid and keen us an
assault ut arms. His favorite virtues
aud graces, we report II. are loyalty,
friendship, gayety, generosity, courage,
beauty, and strength. IIc is himself the
friend Of the bi$, stupid, excellent por-
thos; of Althos, the noble aud melancholy
swordaMan of sorrow; of D. D'Artagnan,
the intion,itablr, the trusty, the mex
haustible in resource, but his heart is
never on the side of the shifty Aramis,
with all his beauty, tlexterity, bravery
and brilliance lie brave Bussy aud the
chivalrous, the doomed La Mole nre
moro dear to him. and if he embcllishes
their characters, giving them charins
and virNes tihat never were theirs, his
tory loses nothing, and romance and we
are the gniners. In all he does, ut his
best, as in the "Chcvalier d'Harmcn-
thal,' he has movement, kindness, cour-
are and gaycty. His philosophy of life
Is that old philosophy of the sagns and
of Homer Let us enjoy the movement
of the fray, the faces OF fair women, the
taste of good wine; .ct us welcome life
like II mistress, let us welcome death
like n friend. and with jest--if death
comes with Ionor.

So much of the watershed which emp
ties its flood into the Cmur d. Alenc lake
has been burnt over that when the fall
rains begin tho water lin the lake will not
be quite as clear and pure as it is now.
Carl Mallon is preparing to build the
largest brewery in the Cuur d' Alene at
Wallace. He has acquired "A favorable
site at the mouth of Placer creek, but
some parties are giving him legal
trouble.
Prospectors are already getting into
burnt districts, but the ashes are so deep
that they hide the surface as etiectually
asthe brush and sediment did. Besides,
they become suitocating when stirred
up by tramping over them. 1t will have
TO rain hard before the mountains can
be climbed with facility or the surface
of the ground made clear.

day evening and returned to Wallace

Ing them upon the bank. AS night
came ON the farmers, with their families,
began to arrive, and the excitement
mOmenturily grew more intense. Every
body took part in the mad scramble for
culnshells until darkness put an end to
tho work.
The scenes of Tuesday outdo any Mt.
tempt at description. The throny OF
people was swclcd To hundreds, Men
and women became almost frantic i'm
their efforts to find the shells. They did
notcati they did not sleep; they only
delvcd for the jewels that lay at tho bot
tom oil tho water. Not ono shcll In
pearl-hunter, moro fortunate than the
Others, would discover jewel beneath
the rough surface OF u shell, those WHO
had failed would become crazcd with
disappointment AM, almost seem to lose
tncir reason. All day long this extraor-
binary scene wns visited, with It's chang
LIZ J., variety OF intense and selirious soy "S
more with the river banks covered with
people, who slept there to begin search
again In tho morning.
"Wednesday was u repetition of the
two preceding days. AT the first gray
strcaks OF dawn the pearl hunters would
arise, stiff and hungry, from their bed
under the stars and plunge into the
weakness, and there will, In all proba-
billty, be n number of deaths in conso-
quonce of exposure, Women seemed TO
lose all reason In their mad search for
jewels, and many would stand In the
water for hourS without food. Not until
they were completely prostrated with
fatigue and exposure would they quit
the water, and even then they. would
stand on the river bank watching the
other fortune hunters ut work. Thurs
day the crowd began to thin out some
whit, for no other reason than IL had
exhausted itself and must rest. Friday
the women hud almost all LOFT, hut
farmers continued to pour into tho viii
luge. The village OF Monroe is eighteen
miles away, and hundreds of people
have come from there and other sur
rounding towns.
There Is no means of estimating how
long the search for pearls will continue,
for the river bed for miles in both dircc-
tons Is covered with these clam shells.
AS long as there Is shell left in the
water the excitement will not die out.
IL is an interesting study for nuturllists
to explain the existence of pearls at this
point. Whatever the cause may be, the
fact still remains that some Of the most
beautiful in the world have been taken
from the river here within tbs last few
days. In size, they vary from the Iii.
mensions of bird shot to u size, perhaps,
as large as a pea. They have been sold
in New York for $75 and even 500 each,
and jewelcr here has paid out nearly
$1,000 for large number which he has
purchased, and still owes portion of
the purchase price. Within tho next
few days there will he returns from ship
ments mado to New York, and the true
value can then be ascertainod.
