A Cheap Dinner. !. !

Venice is cheap city. especially if you
dine with the people in the fish kitchens
of the Street of the Smiths. There you
get a slice of smoking polenta as broad
as a golidolier's palm and somewhat
thicker for Il penny. Another penny
will, fish be abundant, as it generally
is, buy a plateful Of very palatable fry.
Add to this a third penny for half a
liter Of wine, and the bill is told.
There is no doubling the nutrition in
such meal. The faces of the clients Of
the shops in the Street Of the Smiths are
plump and hearty and the clients them
selves are not famishingly impatient to
5b be served when there is a crush, as there
often is of al evening, when such work
as Venice does is mostly at an end. All

April Messrs Orten and S. o. Wheeloclr
of juneau, accompanied by eight other
miners, left Juneau on the schooner
Charley for Lituya bay, taking eight
months provisions. The party was to
return in November. Nothing having
been heard from them, great uneas1ness
is felt for they were in the frozen re-
gions, where it would be impossible to
get food or help. The people appealed
to Captain Maynard, Of the United
States war ship Pinta, at Sitka, to go to
the relief of the missing men. MAYNARD
declined on account of the great risk to
the ship, and because he thought the
men were beyond reach of human aid.
At mass meeting held in Juneau the
governor was appealed to and relief
expedition organized and sent out in
sailing vessels with supplies in search Of
the lost miners, but with little hope of
rescuing them. The winter at Lituya
bay is long and severe and pro bably the
ten missing men have perished.
