1t has long been apparent that the
United States didn't throw away money |
when they bought Alaska for ST.
100000, although 1t was once thought they
did. The Alaskan exhibits at the Chicago
fair has attracted much attention and Lieu
tenant Emmons, who is in charge of 1t,
and who has spent eleven years in the
country, has given some information which
will surprise most people. Fer instance,
southeastern ALASKA, the only section Wis
tied by travellers, or settled to sny degree,
has an even temperature. Along the coast,
within the Influence of the warm Japan
current, zero weather is experienced only
at intervals of long years, and at Sitka
the lieutenant Gays he has passed whole
winters with the thermometer new
er below 15' Fahrenheit. In this
section snow never covers the ground for
more than a few days at time, and domes-
tic animals roam at large and forage for
themselves without shelter. The summer
is delightful. On the wsrmest days the
mercury may ascend to eighty-6ve, but the
average is 6fty-four. Even the rainy sea-
son is healthfu1, snd fevers and the many
contagious diseases which prevail in this
country are unknown In Alaska. ALI the
garden produce of our eastern country, ex-
ceptipg corn and tomatoes, natures there
[ and is grown with little labor and in good
| season.
| Alaska's wealth lies in her minerals, fish
cries, furs and lumber. To-day the largest
and one of the most perfect gold-stamp
mills is on Douglas leland, and the exhibit
of Alaska's crude ore and gold bars repre-
sents an output cf $67O, 600 in 1899. Ju
neau's prestige as mining center rests or
the fact that gold in paying quantities was
first found there, but seven other districts
are named which give evidence of great
mineral wealth. Coal of an excellen,
quality but wholly bituminous il
found at many points. The fishery
interests, aside from the salmon in
dustry, are wholly undeveloped. Can
ned and salted salmon to the value O
many millions is annually exported, whil
the cod and hslibut banks remain un
touched and seem inexhaustible. Th
Alaska Oil and Guano company, will
works at Killisnoo, represents capital o
5000, 1000, and produces annually som
$50, 600 gallons of herring oil. The refus
fish are converted into guano, which find
q ready sale in England and the Sandwic
Islands at $50 ton.
It is predicted that it will not be man
years before the invalid, the seeker fc
rest and the idler will crowd the san
tariums and summer resorts which wi
cover the shores of southeastern Alask,
The glorious climate of California wi
then, we suppose, have to take bae
seat.

Ground has been broken for the Jay
Gould 5000. 600 memorial church. 1t is to
have $25, 900 organ, several SIC, 900 win
dows and panel portraits of Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. Other panels will
be filled by artistic, nfe-sizsd figures of
angels, representing Faith, Hope, Charity,
Mercy. Constancy, Fortitude, Justice and
Humility. And there is to be an inscrip-
tion announcing that the church is ''for
the glory of God and in memory of Jay
Gould"
Why not ? We don't know how much
the church will do for the glory of God,
but it will probably do as much as the
man whom it will commemorate did. And
It's memorial quality will be frst-olass.
Even Gould himself could not have
planned a monument better calculated to
perpetuate his name and fame. The per-
petuation will perhaps be in the way of
contrast rather than likeness, but it
will be none the less effective for that.
When the church is built those who read
the inscription 'for the glory of God" will
realize how much Gould did when he was
alive in that direction. When the $25, 900
organ is heard 1t will remind it's hearers of
the sweet music which Gould's deft manip-
ulstion of 'sstops" and keys often made in
Wall street. When the splendid portraits
of the apostles are seen it will remind those
who see them of the fervent zeal displayed
by the chief apostle of the religion of
money getting. And the figures of the
angels will call to memory how Gould in
spired Faith and Hope in his stock
operations, how Charity and Mercy
were conspicuous in his dealings
with the people whom he caught "short"
or "long." how his Constancy to his own
interests shone, and what Fortitade. JUS
tice and Humility were revealed in his op-
erations in Erie and Union Pacific.
The memorial will indeed be an impress
eive one. It will make people think, and
may in this way do more for ''the glory of
God" than 1t might seem likely to at first
sight There ought to be another inscrip-
. tion on it or in 1t for the benefit of those
i who may be somewhat puzzled by the in
scription already decided on, and by the
apostles and the angels. Having studied
these awhile the eye should be permitted
to light on "Blessed are the meek, for they
shall inherit the eartb." This would give
an opportunity to wonder whether 1t is
better to be meek and walt to inherit the
earth, or to sail in and grab it as 1t rolls.

EVERYTHING CONES BACK
It is 'in" again-tha pretty old game of
croquet.
Not that it has ever been entirely "out;"
though superseded by tennis, and voted
old fashioned and Glow, it has been played,
in subdued way, by those to whom 1t
offered sufficient outdoor exercise and
recreation, and who have been too indie
pendent to discard the old favorite for its
lively and popular rival
s'In the greensward, az of old, the hoops
are stuck" and the click of the mallet is
sounding; though If the players are using
the latest devised implements there is no
click, the balls being of solid rubber and
the ends of the msllet heads being covered
with the same almost soundless material.
Croquet Is to tennis as the graceful min
uet IL to the violent Saltarello. Arrayed
in the prettiest of summer gowns, one may
move sedately over velvety turf, under

| The exigencies Of tennis demand that a
woman's dress should be easy-ftting, and
| the preservation of the carefully prepared
court that Shoes should be heelless and
rubber soled. The exercise is fascinating,
and on that account concesls dangers not
apt to be suspected until the mis-
chief Ia done. The constant jumping
and reaching are likely to produce strain,
and in the case of growing girls have often
been responsible for seriens physical de
rangement. Croquet, on the other hand
requires no special dress-one may be a.
pictureequely or as simply attired IS she
pleases, or as the particular occasion de
mands; there are plenty of opportunitie,
for resting and chatting; the complexion
does not become too rubescent for beauty
and the absence of the necessity for VIC

It used to be said, long ago, when GRO

esting fact has been rediscovered; If 60,
part of It's present popularity may be &C
counted for.

now only fiannels of eriuoline, but the
croquet hoops, better known as wickets or
arches, are being planted upon a thousand
lawns, and even the grace hoops are af-
fordiHg light and airy pastime that gives
full scope for Delsartian gestures and
poses.
The game of croquet as now played var
les somewhat from the old game. The
balls, as has been said, should be of solid
rubber, three and a quarter inches in
diameter. The msllets are of hard wood,
the heads being of amsrsnth or box, with
rubber ends secured by nickel bands.
Greater attention will be given to scientific
playing, and for this the ground should be
"made" and rolled hard. The "rover,n
general freebooter and destroyer of the
peace upon a croquet field has been abol-
ished, and 30 has the ''split shot" The
only other change is ssid to be that of
making the start, and the new method Is
really quite complicated.
The balls are placed at the four corners
of the field, partners occupying Diagonal
points. The player whose ball stands at
the left of the upper stake takes the first
shot and aims to strike her Tor his) part
ner's ball. If she succeeds two shots are
allowed in which to make the first wicket,
and the advantage is her,, for the other
players are entitled to only one shot each,
to place, or attempt to place, their balls in
position for the first wicket,
If the first player fails, and 1t will be
seen that this might easily happen, her op-
ponent, on the right side of the upper
stake, aims for her partners ball or for
the same corner of the field. IT either one
is struck, two strokes are taken from it
with which to pass the first wicket. The
third player, at the left of the turning
stake, has good opportunity, as if the
second player has failed, there are three
balls upon his side of the field,
at any one of which he may
aim, and from which two strokes may
be taken. If he succeeds, the last player
has only one shot with which to place his
ball in position for the first wicket; if he
fails, this last player has three balls upon
which to work, and of course, two shots
from the one struck. Should he be 60
strangely unfortunate as to fail, the pro-
cess is to be tried all over again. This
method of starting is possibly conducive
other way 1t Is an improvement upon the
old plan, and the first player, If success
full, certainly has very great advantage
over the others. Those who are newly
taking up the game will probably follow
the revised version of Its rules. Older
players, no doubt, will continue to plump
their balls down in the slight depression
made by usage just before the first
wicket, and a msllet's length from the
stake.
Apropos of croquet, here is bit of
Macaronio rhyme, written long ago and
revived with the old game. 1t is probably
as true to the spirit of the game to day as
1t was to that of twenty years ago. Its
author, who signs herself "Polly Glott,"
is doubtless engrossed with more serious
matters, and writes no more in a crazy
patchwork of languages.
