In Alaska tho %IBcnutiful stacks Up Il ths
Clouds.
Eyes, I have been in a country whore the
snow is two miles deep" said N. b. Laxard.
a mining expert from Tombstone, Ariz.. at
cago Tribune. Mr.. Lazard was in the east
during tho recent snow storm, and was
talking about what the people in Pennsyl-
vanis called n blizzard.
"They thought the two-foot fall Of snow
was something to talk about" continued
the visitor. "but if they would visit Alaska
about 20 miles up tho Yukon river they
would find snow that for miles is 80 thick
that tho banks almost reach the skies. II it
keeps on accommodating as fast as 10 has dur
ing the past ten years scientific men will
not DO able to say truthnnily the earth il
round.
II was in Alaska, in tho Consolidate re-
gion. in 1886, and that year the nov fall
was quite heavy. Snow that falls there re-
mains. for il never melts. A pqospector
named Jim Thomas was with mo during
that trip, and one beautiful morning no
fell from a glacier about 100 feet. The fall
broke both OF his legs, one OF his arms and
crushed in several ribs, besides injuring
him internally. He was conscious when |
reached him. and he told me he knew he
was going to die. He begged me to see that
his mother and sister in the east received
all the property he had left in Harrisburg.
/ promised, and have fulfilled the trust.
just before he died he asked me to
pray for him, and, for the first time since I
had knelt beside my mother when 4 little
boy. ! got down on my knees and asked
God to receive the soul that WAS about to
depart. l prayed as l never have prayed
since. and I meant all l said. There was n
smile on poor Thomas's face when ! said
Amen and with q most peaceful expres.
sion on his countenance he breathed his
last. buried him in the SNOW. and to-day
il his body could be found ] know it would
look as natural as the moment he died

Riotous Italian at Barnegat Park
 Threats of Violence and Incendiar-
 ism-Three Companies Ordered on
 Scene-Quiet Restored.
 TRENTON, N. J., Jan. "A dispatch for troops from Barnegat Park was received by Adjutant General Stryker at 2 o'clock this morning. He got the military de- pertinent of the state in active operation and within few hours on an order of Governor Abbett, who is commander of the New Jersey forces, three Camden com panies of the Sixth regiment were under arms and the quartermaster generals office had a special train loaded with arms from the state arsenal together with necessary subsistence, which was ready to move at a moments notice. Further exchange of telegrams resulted in more pacific news and before night Sheriff Hageman of Ocean county telegraphed that there was no further need of state interference. The troops were thereupon dismissed. Barnegat Park is an all-year- round resort. It was lately founded by actives and re- tired officers of the army and navy and lies five miles from Toms river. The trou- ble at the place grew out of the dissatis- faction of several scores of Italian laborers who had been grading public boulevard and had not recently been paid There was strike among them ten days ago and threats of violence were made, but peace was restored until yesterday, when another disappointment over their money put the Italians in ferment and they threatened to burn down the village Women and children fled to shelter in tho neighboring woods and citizens armed fol defense. Sheriff Hageman hurried or from Toms river with posse of men, but the situation at midnight still looked ugly | and hence the call for state aid. To-day, | it is said, the Italians were quieted witt ]

 ssFarm1ng Out'' Town Poor.
 Coroner Mix's investigation of the ill treatment of Mrs. Caroline Meramble of Woodbury, who died at the hospital last Tuesday, develops some shocking facts Mrs. Meramble was town pauper oi Woodbury and the selectmen according tc their custom of farming out" town poor gave her to the care of Roderick Atwood who in turn consigned her to his brother in-law Charles Warner This was thre, months ago. These men, with Selectmer c. E. Trowbridge, H. c. Minor and w. A Strong testified before the coroner.
 Dr. Karrman found the old woman or Saturday, December 27, covered with beS sores upon bed of hay beneath whicl was rubber blanket. The room wa very cold. He told the Warmers she mus be better cared for and they refused t. keep her longer. J. D. Atwood, livery man, was hired to take her to the Ney Haven hospital, which he did in beacl wagon. The trip was made on bite pital her hair was full of dirt, her bod was mouldy and covered with bed sores her foot was ulcerated and probably frog en, and her right thigh was fractured She was washed and cared for, but spok nothing intelligible, and died at 8 o'clocl Tuesday morning.

Much Distress i'm the ewestern Part of the Island - An Address by the
 Earl Of Zetland Where Subscrip. tions and Clothing VIII be Received.
 DUBLIN, Jan. 4.-The Earl of Zetland, viceroy of Ireland, and Chief Secretary -Balfour, sign declaration which has been issued on the condition of the poor in the western part of Ireland. The declaration says:
 Poverty is chronic in some districts and will, if the people are not aided, reach stage of acute distress during the winter and spring. There is neither a resident give employment, nor are there charitable organizations to aid those unable to help themselves. Outdoor relief, except in cases of emergency, cannot legally be ad- ministered except to persons holding over a quarter of an acre of land. Although none acquainted with the history of the Irish poor law would regard the relaxing of this rule as other than public calamity its maintenance undoubtedly limits the capacity to deal with periods of excep- tional distress. The position thus created leaves part of the social organism sick at all times-stricken with a disease from which, without extraneous help, it has no power to allay.
 The declaration proceeds to discuss the requisites for good distribution of aid among the poor. The authority for such distribution, it says, should be single, for the vesting of this authority in more than one person would cause confusion as to areas and inequality of resources and would lead to TO final adjustment. The single authority to command all available means of information as to the condition of the people throughout the country.
 The declaration concludes: To those who think that we who can obtain the services of poor law inspectors, school inspectors, relieving officers, resident magistrates, the police and others resident in localities affected and who al for relief works far exceeding any those who think that we are better persons not having these advantages, we offer to undertake the management of the distribution of any funds entrusted to us. We believe that money so spent will be well spent. All assistance in the shape of food or clothing through this channel or any other which reaches children and help less persons will enlighten or remove much immediate suffering, without exaggerating chronic evils requiring different and con tinuous treatment for a permanent cure. Subscriptions and clothing will be received by the Countess of Zetland, and the vice regal lodge; Miss Balfour, at the Chief Secretary's lodge; or by the viceroy of MT. Balfour"
