NATIVE ALASKAN CARVING,
Curious Panel Done by an Untutored
NiliaCer.


Niliager.
Mrs. o. I. Porter. wife of the United
States marshal of Alaska, has just for
warded to the lady managers a unique
panel carved by native Alaskan. The
panel is of fragrant cedar and will be
used in decorating the Woman's building
The design was copied from the wall of
Il great chiefs house at Chikat and is
the work of an untutored native
villager. The significance of the
carving is obscure to the uninitiated
but comprises many of the characters Pc
culiar to Alaskan sym bolical writings, as
seen on the baskets and wares of that
country. Among the extraordinary rep
reservations of this carving is an Indian
eagle with two heads, perched above
whale. and Alaskan's idea of our ma
tional bird resting on the back of a con-
torted porpoise.

An Expert at Lock Picking.

More than three years of his life have
been spent behind prison bars. He COM
menced his career of crime before he was
years old. At that time he could enter
any closet or room that had been locked
to keep him out and for a long time he
baffled all efforts of his father and mother
to find out how he accomplished it. One
day his father surprised him at :work on
the lock of door, and he endeavored to
hide a small article that he worked with.
1t was found to he a small piece of broom
wire and he confessed that he had done all
the mischief with it. In fact he always
confesses without pressure and sometimes
tells where the stolen articles are

buildings were fred by lightning, but
all were put out. Before O'Clock a
regular cyclone swept eastward,
carrying destruction in it's path. The
Demorest machine works were partly
unroofed, and along Park avenue q
dozen buildings were badly damaged.
The large Turnverein hall on Bennett
street was totally demolished. Tin roofs
were lifted and carried nearly square,
and In one case the whole roof of hotel
was carried over 200 feet. A few people
were hurt, but none seriously, as far as
can be learned.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, June 27.-This city
and vicinity were visited today by a
very heavy thunder storm. Rain fell in
torrents, the total fall amounting to the
unusual amount of two inches. In
the surrounding country reports
received indicate that the storm
was even more severe. Trees were up.
rooted, electric light and telegraph
wires blown down and other serious
damage done. In Ossian, Dewitt Vans-
coter entered a burning barn to remove
the horses, bur was kicked into an un-
conscious state by one of them. He

resulting shortly afterwards. AtSodus,
Isaac Day, Jr., was struck and instantly
killed by the electric fluid. The basket
factory Of Fish & Hulett was also struck
by lightning following the chimney,
which acted as conductor, but strange
to say none of the thirty employees were
injured. 1t

sources indicate revival of the revolu-
tionary feeling among the Mexican refu-
gees and lower classes on the lower
Rio Grande. The revolutlonists are
said to be gathering in ominous numbers
at several ranches, and under the lead
ership, presumably, of Col. Julian
Flores, are believed to be contemplating
another move against Mexico. Capt.
W. B. Wheeler, at Ft. Ringgold has
received orders from General Frank
Wheaton, commander of the depart
ment of Texas, at San Antonio, ordering
him to leave at once with detachment
Of the Eighteenth infantry for Corrigan's

New YoRK, June 27..-The battle for
the featherweight championship of the
world, between George Dixon, the COL
ored boy from Boston, and Fred John
son, featherweight champion of Eng
land, was won by Dixon in the four
teenth round.
Coney island was crowded with sport
ing men, and betting was exceptionally
heavy. Both men weighed in under III
pounds. After the preliminary affairs
were over, there was 90 much Dixon
money in sight that the johnson men
who went down prepared to back their
men at even money were compelled to
drop down, and odds soon fell to 500 to
800 on Dixon, with few takers.
John L. Sullivan was present In the
most hilarious condition, and was so
interested in the exhibition preceding
the great event, that he didn't see Jim
Corbett walk past him.
II was nearly 10 O'Clock when Dixon
and johnson made their appearance.
The start was fast and furious, Dixon
landing right and left on his stomach
SA1e AOeu AoiCiu8 SouupOu W Iuo Iopc6
and Furnishing him terribly. The call
of time saved him.
In the second, Dixon again forced the
fighting, repeatedly landing hard. John
ion laid back for in-Hghting, but get no
chance, and when the bell rang was
very weak.
In the third johnson led twice, but
tell short, but Immediately after landed
hard In Dixon's face and stomach.
Dixon was more careful after this.
In the fourth johnson came up strong
but soon received q hard swing in the
stomach and another on the jaw. He
retaliated heavily on Dixon's ribs, and
the round closed with hard in-6ghting.
In the fifth johnson was full OF fight
and followed Dixon all over the ring. A
number OF hard blows were exchanged,
and the men clinched repeatedly.
In the sixth, however. honors were
abouteven, cash receiving considerable
punishment.
In the seventh Dixon landed many
good blows, and would have finished his
man had it not been for Johnson's clever
dodging.
: The eighth and ninth showed good
work, with honors easy.
3 In the tenth Dixon landed on his
opponent with both hands, fairly stag
sgering the .Englisnnan.
- In the eleventh Johnson got in some
good stiff punches, and had trifle the
best of the round.
In the twelfth the. .Englisman demon
strated that he could stand an awf6l
amount, Of punishment, and Dixon's
severe blows had but little effect on
him. He countered with HE right
every time Dixon, came, and the same
Dc true Of. the thirteenth round.
In the fourteenth Johnson came up
somewhat tired and Dixon again forced
the fighting. They had scarcely been
ct it two minutes when he planted his
left full on the point OF, Johnson's
jaw, following it up with his right with
such force that he fell on the English
man as the latter went down. The fall
is what finished johnson. as the back Of
his head struck the floor with such force
that he was knocked almost senseless.
He made four or five attempts to rise,
but could not, and Dixon was declared
