 ATNA INDIAN VILLAGE OF TAvAL, Alaska, August 12, 1s91.-August s. we came to the conclusion to build a light canvas boat from the coverings of our packs and descend the river. At this point the current was very rapid and turbulent, waves running foot or two in height, but there was noticeable improvement over the violent torrent seen near the glacier and if this ratio continued, as we hoped, another four or five miles ought to let us ont of dangerous water We had fish-lines for thread to sew with, camp ax. be- sides such hunting knives and pocket utensils as field parties usually have.

THE Court of Private Land Claims met in Denver, Colorado, on June 9th for the purpose of trying the case of the Algodones Land Company against the United States. This case involves the title to about thirty thousand acres of land in Yuma county, known as the Algodones Land Grant. This is the grant which was reported to be for gery by Surveyor General Wassou in 1880. Thereafter the Committee on Private Land Claims in Congress re- ported the same to be forgery and re- commended that the claimants, the Cali fornia Commercial and Land Company be prosecuted. The claimants then obtained permission 10 wIthraw their papers from before Congress, and ceased to make any further claim to the land. The land however remained withdrawn from entry. A short tune ago MT. E. NJ. Sanford, of Prescott, secured a sherIff's deed to the land, and he then deeded iS tO lnc AikOuOutS -1duO a corporation organized under the laws of Arizona. The Company is backed by Denver capital.
 The case was well and ably tried on both sidss. MT. Sanford and George Hill Howard foremrly of Arizona ap- peared as attorneys for the claimants, and Matt c. Reynolds, U. s. Attorney for the court, represented the govern ment assisted by Francis J. Heney of Tucson who represented the settlers up- on the grant. The court refused to con firm the grant.
 MT. Heney reports that Mir. Reynolds is fearless, energetic worker, an accom- plished lawyer. and an upright honor able gentleman; and that it IS largely due to MT. Reynolds able presentation of the case that the court came to the conclusion that it did, to wit; that the grant is forgery.
 Knowing Mir. Heney as we do, we cannot fail to believe that the result WAS due, in DO small part, to the efforts of Mir. Heney himself, as we all know him to possess all the qualities which he has so mOdestly ascribed to MT. Key holds.

The next President of the United
 States has been nominated at Minneapo-
 lis. His name is Benjamin Harrison, and he has already given the country four years of as good an administration as ever blessed this country.
 During Harrison's administration, we have had 8 succession of brilliant achievements, which have reflected credit on the Republican party, and brought prosperity to our country. Our foreign policy has been strong one and the ad- ministration at home vigorous. The nomination of the President to-day shows conclusively that the country fully appreciated the magnificent record of the past four years, and are proud of the standard bearer who has to very large extent brought about the era of pros perity that our country is enjoying to- day.
 President Harrison needs no intro duction to the public that he has served so we'll, put we can say that in all the walks of public life, he has done his full duty. From the day that he entered the army, to the day he received his Brigadier Generalship in February 1865, he performed the noblest duty that a patriot can perform. His career in the the United States senate was especially marked by his fostering care of the in terests of the Territories. He was a leader in his party and he was listened to in its councils. As President he has proven beau-ideal Chef Executive and his opponents who have measured sword with him once already know full we'll the keeeest of his blade. We salute | the next President of the United States.

1t Is Of interest sometimes to get n
glimpse Of ourselves as others see us.
Herewith is reproduced from The British
Architect condensation of the annual
trade report Of Colonel Hayes Sadler, Brit
ish consul at Chicago. His financial stat
1stics are presented in pounds sterling as
he wrote them. "In $780," says the consul,
the population Of Chicago consisted of 20
persons, in 1882 it had increased to 200, and
in 1888 to $50. In 1887 it was incorporated
as city; it comprised but very small
part OF its present site, and q census then
taken showed 4,170 inhabitants. In 1850
the population was 20.063, ten years later

1.-THE city is still increasing. and now con-
tains about 100000 inhabitants. Chicago
now extends along the line of Halsted
street distance of 2111 miles, and from
east to west at the broadcast point lO,5
miles. 1t covers an area of HOSES acres
or 1902 square miles, and is almost entirely
surrounded by magnificent boulevards
stretching for about 35 miles and expund-
ing here and there into extensive parks
In 1890 there were 1851 dwellings and
O,320 families, or m average of | - fam
ines 10 each dwelling. Last year ii SC5
buildings were constructed, covering n
frontage of 53}9 miles, at cost of ell ,iS4.-
600, to which may be added probably 20
per cent. for completion beyond the esti-
mates The river frontage extends Il
miles and the lake frontage 81 miles.
There arc 1889 miles of streets, and count
ing the Soulevards 3, 1874 miles; 175 miles OF
streets are paved, of which 4Sl miles are
paved with wood, and 23l3 miles with
stone.
1.-THE park and boulevard system covers
1887 acres. Nearly 100 miles Of fresh
sewers were laid last year, with pipes vary
ing from 8 inches to feet in diameter.
Education has kept pace with the general
advance; there are 21S schools, seating 1885,
600 pupils, and costing Ct 10000, Sc per
cent of which is raised by taxation and

1t Is a Queer Looking Palace Built by
Fritz Emmct.
Fritz Villn" is the popular name of the
residence recently bought by Senator
David b. Hill, near Albany, and it looks
like the opium dream of crazy architect.
1t was built according to plans drawn and
frequently changed by the eccentric hui
morist and actor-Fritz Emmett but
when his divorced wife came into posses
Sion of it she had the Fritz chiseled out of
the inscription over the iron gateway and
an Indian word. which, according to her,
was fttingly descriptive, inserted in its
place. So now the place is "Huhnah
Villa"
Fritz bought the fifteen acres in 1850,
and what with the odd hooks, mounds,
fountains and artificial lakes over $50, 900
were expended on the grounds alone Then
he began mt the house, combining all the
novelties seen on his travels, and the first
plans he drew himself. and he even con-
structed working model of what he
wanted out Of paper. This house was to cost
$4,000, and was about half the size of the
present structure. But no sooner was that

STRIPES.

The stripes can DO worn by older
ladies with good effect. Stripes when
judiciously managed give apparent
slenderness to quite q stout figure, but
they are apt to BIO conspicuous. A very
handsome piece of goods has alternate
green and black stripes, sort of twist
ed outline of frosty white hairs edging
the black and curling over onto the
green. Every other green stripe had two
lines of black. A dress made of this had
Figaro jacket of black passementerie,
and the forearms were also covered with
passementerie.
Another handsome striped gown had
stripes of two shades Of brown, seal and
faded leaf. Around the bottom Of this
was full ruching made of bows and
rosettes Of seal brown satin ribbon.
Certainly it must require hundred
yards of ribbon TO make this ruching,
which also encircled the neck and
wrists. The whole gown, like the other,
was cut on the bias, and altogether gave
kind of tigerish appearance moro strik-.
ing than elegant.
~ lovely white crepe dc chine gown
has the entire front band embroidered
with gold threads, and at the bottom is
q delicious fluff Of lace and Grape as
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1892-10-21

The plaids leave no ono in doubt of
their being plaid, as tho outlining is of
the boldest and most positive. There is
no indistinct or broken figure among
them. They are largo and obtrusive,
and while the lover of true beauty may
find fault with them they do certainly
look stylish. Some are made on tho
straight. some bias, and others again
have combinations of plain goods made
up with them.
One very stylish gown for young
lady was of black biarritz cloth, rich
and fine. The skirt was plain fourrean
shape, fitted to the hips, and buttoned.
and on the front were two printed out
lines of soutache braid, and there were
four similar braids sewed around the bot
tom. A wrinkled sash was around the
waist, which was made of regular tar
tan plaid ill red, blue, yellow and black
y fiat piece of biarritz reached up the
front of the waist, and tiny shoulder
cape added piquancy to the whole.
y plaid zephyr cloth for quite young
girl was cut en- princesse, with a Vatican
of brown velvet down the middle of the
back. The puffs to the sleeves were of
the velvet. There was Il berthe of lace
over the shoulder. The material was
light brown, with white plaid and white,
indistinct flowers in between, with hairy
effect.
Another plaid gown for the prom
enade was of dark brown with plaids of
yellow, white, rcd and green lines. The
skirt and waist were cut bias, and the
corselet of gray astrakhan and V front
were the only trimmings. There were
enormous directoire lapels. The lupels
have very stiff crinoline in them to
make them stand out firmly.
Take notice of the hats worn with
these costumes, for they are the newest
for fall for young persons. One has a
bow nearly half yard across. The
middle one is just too lovely for any
thing-or that is what our great-grand-
mothers used to say. 1t is of plush felt,
with bows of ribbon and standing
branch of dropping flowers that bob
about with every motion. The other is
made of thick frill of black lace in
front, and red silk crown with two
curled feathers. They are the kind of
hats that help his satanic majesty, par
ticularly when worn in the theater. No
human who hasn't some occult means
of vision can see over, through or around
them, and it provokes un-Christian
thoughts to sit behind them when the
play is interesting and you can't see it.
