DIsoOVERIEs IN ALASKA

The government expedition which Is sur- veying Alaska h finding much that Is inter- esting. One party went up the Yukon river, which Is nearly twenty-five miles wide at its mouth and resembles the Mississippi. The steamer made slow progrsss on account of the necessity of stopping frequently to cut wood and to clear the mud from the river out of the boiler. Every fifteen or twenty miles an Indian settlement, consisting of the most dssolate novels, was found. The peo- pie are miserably poor and filthy, and each man has as many wives as he cares to sup port. Farther up the valley they found In- dian settlements where the women had two or three husbands each. They had game and fish to sell for almost nothing, and the expedition became very tired of ducks, geese and salmon. The scenery of the far interior is described as resembling that of the first range of the Rockies in Colorado. "In the woods there are lots of wild roses, and the hills are as green as any lawn in the spring. It is difficult to believe that this is an Arctic land when you observe the luxuriant forests, the green grass, the flowers, and mark how warm the days are. But dig down ten inches anywhere and you will find the ground frozen hard. At Aulato they have dug twenty y-fve feet to get water and the ground was frozen all the way down. In spite of this, the weather Is SO warm that every man is going about in his shirt sleeves. Mos4ui- toes are plentiful and ferocious."
 The more Alaska is explored the better it appears. It will probably be found to be well worth what was paid for it.

A BUSINESS MATTER

BUSINESS MATTER.
 Enech Rutzler and George ". Blake had been for five years partners in the steam heating business in New York city. The eopsrtnership was recently dissolved and Blake started in the same business for him. self. He then moved to enjoin Rutzler from continuing the business at the old stand or anywhere else in New York in connection with the firm name. Judge Cullen lays down the law as follows: "The authorities are plain that in the dissolution of partnership or the sale of a business with it's good will, in the absence of any covenant to the contrary either partner or vendor may prosecute the same business at any location, even next door to the promises occupied by the firm. In such osses the good will amounts to nothing more than the probability of the customers reserting to trade at the old stand. Defend ant Rutzler, therefore, has the right to carry on his business at the premises he has hired for that purpose" The court further says that Rutzler may not describe himself as the successor of the late firm nor put out any sign or publish any advertisement calculated to mislead the public to believe that hs is the successor or is continuing the business of the old concern. He may, however, describe himself ss ''lately partner in the firm" or az being formerly connected with it."

Rose Legends.

Harpscrates, the secret keeper, was bribed to silence with rose.
 Yellow roses did not come even from the land of the Prophet of Islam, but from Ger many.
 At fsasts roses were lavishly used by both the Greeks and the Romans. Fabulous sums were spent to have them at all seasons.
 The rose was sacred to Eros and Aphrodite, to Cupid and Venus, and was an emblem not only of joy and love, but symbol also of prudence.
 The eentifolia rose is said to have been sx- istent with the Greeks, and great favorite, not only for it's beauty of form, but also for it's perfume.
 Antioehus luxuriated upon bed of blooms even in winter days and nights; and when Cleopatra entertained Antony she had roses covering the Heor to the depth,i it is said, of an ell.

point which we seem to have lost sight of In favor of show action. And yet trotting speed must be inherent in the breed that comes from the loins of Marshland Shaiss, who did his seventeen miles in 66 minutes, carrying IS st., or from Wroot's Pre- tender, who is credited with sixteen miles to the hour, carrying 19 st., as well as in the stock of that Yorkshire coach horse, brother of Wonderful, of whom we find the almost incredible record of IS miles an hour, carrying IS st. In our competitions the pace which will make a horse raise his knee to the highest point is the only one sought after, but anyone who has visited one of the real old-fashioned Yorkshire breeders and seen these horses trotted without breaking on a long rein to a galloway, the latter galloping alongside as fast as he can lay his heels to the ground, CT anyone who remembers the large part which old Bellfounder played in the creation of the American trotting horse, will understand how easily the characteristic of speed could be resuscitated in these English breeds"

CHICAGO, July 5-There was less doing
in wheat and the market ruled quiet with
in lower range of prices. Fluctuations
were not severe. July ruled somewhat ir-
regular within range of &c and closed
about &c lower than Wednesday. De
ferred futures opened 16@$4c lower, then
advanced 13@$4c, again eased off, closed
1%M34c lower than Wednesday. The de-
cline was attributed principally to weak
ness in st. Louis, which market predicted
large receipts Of new wheat by Monday
and reported two-thirds of that arriving
now as grading No. red. The weather,
too was more favorable, being dry in the
southwest and rainy in the northwest
Reports from the northwest were more IA
vorable regarding crop prospects, and this
was weakening feature. Cable advices,
. however, were favorable to holders.
Only a moderate business was done in
corn, the range being narrow and most of
the trading confined TO local operators.
The feeling around the opening was some
what easier, initial trades being 1S@14c
lower than closing quotations of Wednes-
day, but as the session advanced a better
tone was developed and prices advanced
&c, influenced to considerable degree by
the good shipping demand. The market
then became easier, closing shade lower
than Wednesday.
Oats were slow and shade easier.
Trading was fairly active in the market
for pork, but the feelingwas unsettled and
nervous and prices fluctuated considerably
within narrow range. Early prices
reced 10@12Yc. Later prices were adj
yanced 15@l71zc but finally settled back
5@715c and closed steady.
Only fair business was done in the lard
market and the feeling was easy. Early
in the day it ruled 5(d715c lower but dur
ing the latter part of the session more
steadiness prevailed and prices rallied 215

A moderate trade was reported in the
market for short rib sides. The feeling

Window screens inserted under the raised

better is to nail or glue to each side of the

let the screen frame be provided with small

And not yet lost to sight-the laces
Iwore so gayly at the pier,
At Newport hops, and Long Branch races.

With alterations-yet It's true
Their contemplation makes mo nervous.

Yet still can but grieve, and oh
