From the San Francisco Examiner.
For some time past it has been rumored In
California that large beds Of oysters had some
months since been discovered in certain waters
OF Alaska. The location has not been definitely
stated. but II has been understood that the
oysters were entirely different from any found
hitherto on this coast being much larger, and -
fine, or almost as fine, as the best eastern
oysters.
News is now received from Washington that
these oysters are IN the vicinity of killisnoo.

New Cure for q wart.

From the Boston GIote
Two doctors were recently walking together
down a suburban thcroughfare when one of
them lifted his hat to a lady whom they met.
"a PATIENT" asked the other.
"Oh, in a way" answered the first doctor. I
treated her the other day for small trouble"
"What was it?''
"a wart on the nose"
"And what did you prescribe?''
81 ordered her to refrain absolutely from
playing the piano"
The other doctor was astonished.
Ordered her to leave off playing the piano
for a wart on the nose? Well, I can't under
stand your treatment"
IF you knew the circumstances you would"
said the first doctor. ''She lives In the next

jay Gould's millions are subject to more ups

rapidly until january 20, when the Gould estate
was worth in the market Sl2 900 900 more than
when its creator died. But all that profit and sew

by recent events in Wall street. When the mar

A Dream.
I saw you in dream last night
Just as l see you now;
The same sweet radiance Of light
Was Frightening your brow;
As now about your head they Irvine
These locks were coyly twining,
And not less bright than now they shine
These sun-lit eyes were shining.
/ saw you-in my dream last night
Step softly to my side;
Upon my arm a touch as light
AS 'twere a moonbean's glide.
You spoke, and o twas like tune
From some cherubic chorus,
A whispered song that stole too soon
Back to the still heaven DER US.
And then thought you smiled, even-yes-
AS now l see you smiling,
With half mantled tenderness.
Your presence sweet beguiling
Held me In thrall, hidden might
Made my charmed spirit bow;
Iloved you in my dream last night
Olet me love You nowi

Not all Fun.

A great many Of the persons who
went to the Worlds Fair, to be
present on Chicago day, had an
experience they will not soon for
get, and which-they did not expect.
Thousands made no provision for
lodging, trusting to luck, and the
following, from the Chicago Inter
Ocean, will show some of the hard
ships they experienced during their
anticipated pleasure trip:
Sunday night hundreds fingered
in the grounds after IL o'clock, the
closing hour, and all the available
benches on Wooded Island, or any
screened spot, were occupied, and
the occupants proposed camping
where they were for the night.
These people were houseless, and it
was midnight before the grounds
were thoroughly secuted and all
lingering visitors were excluded.
The many put out at the Fifty
seventh street gate and Sixty
fourth street gate swelled the
number aimlessly walking up and
down Stony Island avenue and Six
ty-third street because unable to
get as much as a bunk for the
night. Every hotel and lodging
house in the vicinity of the grounds
were crowded by nightfall and af-
ter that thousands were turned
away. Men with their families
sought neighboring restaurants and
stayed until turned out at midnight.
The all-night restaurants became
the only available roosting places
for the country folks, who had
come in ahead Of Chicago day. The
police stations at Woodlawn and
Hyde Park were besieged by APP
plicants for resting places, and the
people applying were the kind who

shudder as they enter a police sta
ton. The restaurant people along
Sixty-third and Sixty-fourth streets
did all they could to accommodate
the houseless folks, and many of
the fakirs along Stony Island turn
ed their booths into lodging-places,
where it cost % cents to sit down
during the night. Many, wearied
out, not few of whom were wom-
en-, passed the night in the open
air, sitting in doorways and on curb
stones along the streets in the
neighborhood of the grounds.

One of the worse railroad accci-
dents of the season occurred at Jack
son, Friday morning, and resulted
in the death of IL persons and the
seriously injuring of 90, besides
numerous people who received slight
injuries. An excursion train, in
two sections, from New York state,
filled with people going to the
Worlds Fair, were on their way to
Chicago, on the M. c. track. The
first section arrived at Jackson at
8 o'clock and stopped at the depot
for breakfast, and while the first
section was at the depot the sec
ond section came along the track
at a rate of Is miles per hour, and
ran into the rear of the first sec
ton. Two cars were telescoped,
others were thrown from the track,
and men, women and children had
their lives crushed, or were fearful
ly mangled, and buried amid the
debris of the crushed coaches.
Many of the men passengers were
on the depot platform and saw
their wives, mothers and children
craelly killed before their eyes, be-
ing powerless to aid them. The
only reason given for the accident
is that the air brakes failed to work
and the engineer could not control
his train, although when half a
mile distant from the depot he saw
the danger signal that notified him
the first section was on the track
at the depot. The real cause of SO
many accidents lately is owing to
the immense rush to the Worlds
Fair: giving the railroads more traf-
fic than they can safely attend to,
and their employees are overworked.

Republican Schemers Left.

Those Republican molders of
public opinion who have been try
ing to fasten responsibility for the
financial condition of the country
on the Democratic party, are begin
ming to realize the hopelessness of
their task. When the attempt to
repeal the Sherman act as a measure
of relief was first seriously consider
ed, they took the ground that the
scarcity of available money and the
business depression were not the
result of the silver purchasing law,
but of the prevalent dread among
the industrial and commercial classes
of the country that the existing
tariff laws would be revised in ac-
cordance with the policy for which
the party had declared and to en-
force which it was elected. Some
of the Republican Senators and
Representatives expressed this view
in Congress and it was generally
acquiesced in to the extent of 81
lence on the part of those who are
specially favored under the high
protective system, they believing at
the time the Sherman law would be
repealed and the financial stringency
relieved, while at the same time, a
strong blow might be struck for
the retention of the Mckinley leg
islation under theimpression created
that it is necessary to the prosperity
of the country.
But the action of the minority in
the Senate and it's stubborn refusal
to grant the demand for repeal, has
been the means of compelling the
great manufacturing interests of
the country to show their hands
and confess that the repeal is nee
essary for the financial preservation
of the country, thereby confessing
that the tariff scare was only Great
ed for selfish partisan and trade in
terests, and that it was without
foundation in fact. The unprin-
cipaled suggestion of Senator Don
Cameron that the purchase of silver
be continued in order that the Re-
publicans in Congress might be
sufficiently strengthened to prevent
a reform of the tariff, was promptly
sat down upon by the manufacture
ers of the country, and nowhere
more severely than in the great IRON
and steel center of his own state.
They are unanimous in their de-
mands that the Sherman law be
repealed as the one thing which
will restore prosperity. They de-
clare without qualification that it
is responsible for the crisis which
would be happily passed but for the
uncertainty created by the inexplica-
BILE course of the Senate. In none of
the appeals from the manufacturers
and the commercial organizations
to Congress is there any expression
of fear because the Democratic par
ty proposes to keep faith with the
people in the revision of the Nc
Kinley tariff laws. Their whole cry
is for the adoption of a sound fnan-
cial policy. The attempt to create
a tariff scare has been a dismal
failure.-Free Press.

The celebrated America cup will
remain in this country another
year, as the yacht Vigilant has de-
feated the British yacht Valkyrie,
winning three races in succession.
The cup was won from the British
in. 1851, by the yacht America, and
the present contest makes eight
times the British yachtmen have
tried in vain to defeat American
yachts, and recover the prize. The
last race was decided at New York
City, and the Vigilant won by 40
seconds, the distance sailed being
80 miles. The Valkyrie is the best
yacht the British have yet sent to

most in promoting their education
and English-speaking. Then, the
principle of instructing the Indian
tribes generally in their own lam
guages was largely adhered to, and
the most violent opposition was
made when the government demand
ed that only English should be
taught the Indians in schools sup
ported by the government. Now
many OF those who most earnestly
opposed this government move are
the stanchest supporters of edu-
eating the Indians in the language
of the country.
There is really no good reason
why the Indians should not be civ
ilized and made an integral part of
our nationality. They are not a
weak race. They are amendable
to kindness and to instruction in
the ways Of civilized life. Unfor-
tunately the great work was delay
ed until the race had almost disap-
peared from the face Of the earth.
Even the friends of the Indians
among the early settlers of the
continent had no adequate concep-
ton of what could be done for them
The gentle Spanish. bishop, who
was their first friend, could think
of nothing better than the substi-
tuition of the negro from Indian
slavery, the pious Eliot made an
Indian Bible when he should have
made grammar, and even William
Penn, while he bought the land he
took and was honest and friendly

ton of the natives. Considering

the Indian civilization the results

Educated Indians.

The latest of the more notable
arrivals at the Fair were the stu
dents of the Carlisle Indian Indus
trial school. They came in, four
hundred strong, Monday evening,
and are registered at a hotel south
of the White City.
This institution rounded out its
fourteenth year a few days ago.
During these years 1891 pupils
were admitted to the institution,
l ,4O3 boys and 1878 girls, coming
from fifty-nine different tribes.
Not many have taken the full
course and received diplomas, only
sixty, but the record is an excellent
one. At the present time the
membership is 633. Students of
Carlisle have always been in great
demand for teachers in other In
dian schools. II has been sort of

an Indian school one must have
some proficiency in one or more Of
the mechanical arts. The object
of Carlisle is to SOW the seeds of
civilization. The Indian boys are
there taught the various trades,

ing and the like, while the girls
are taught to sew, make bread and
