Gov. Eorthen Being Mentioned for
the Position.
Mr.. F. d. Bloodworth. who IL q member
Of the board of trustees of Mercer Univer-
sity, the college of the Georgia Bapsists at
Macon. was asked yesterday who would be
elected TO fill the presidency made vacant by
the resignation of DR.. g. A. Nuunally 70
accept q pastorste at Memphis. Mr. Blood
worth replied that this question had not yet
been discussed by the trustees and he had no
idea who would be selected for the
presidency. The name OF Rev. w. l..
Fitzpatrick, ID. D., chairman Of the board of
trustees, had been mentioned he said, but
DIR. Kilpatrick Is not in good health and 10
is not likely that be would be willing to ac-
cept.
Mr.. Blcodworth's personal preference
without having consulted any one upon the
subject is Gov. Northen.
Gov, Northen." said Mr.. Bloodworth,
'is just the man needed for president Of
Mercer University. He has been for years
one OF the leading Baptists Of the state, ia
man Of recognized ability, of
fine executive powers, OF wide
influence and generally known. He
would bring a great deal OF strength
TO the institution. He ia an educator OF
long experience and would be perfectly at
home in the presidents chair. OF course it
would be rather awkward for him to resign
the governorship Rt present. II 1t were only
a question of salary we could give him more
than he now receives from the state.
I'VE may not secure Gov. Northern" said
Mr. BloodWorth 10 conclusion, "bus he is
just the man needed for the position"

Market Hucksters' Complaints.

There have been complaints for some
time from the hucksters in the northeastern
corner Of the market Of their boxes being
broken open in spite OF the policemen on
duty. On this account for several nights
an extra policeman has been kept on duty
at the market to catch the supposed
thieves. Monday night as Officer Sheehan
was about 30 relieve Officer Jones, be took
a notion to examine the boxes In che north
west corner. The result was that he found
the box OF the huckster who had made the
most complaints of robberies to have no
lock upon it. Officer Sheehan's opinion was
the old woman who keeps tho stall had lost
the lock TO her box. and, not caring TO go to
the expense OF buying a new lock, had
made the complaints so that the police
would keep q close watch over her corner.
The matter was reported to the clerk of the
market Yesterday.

HALF A DOLLAR FOR A POTATO.
Tobacco and Gold on Par on the Up
Per Yukon River, Alaska.

Tobacco and Gold on . Par on the Up
per Yukon River, Alaska.
From the San FFancisco Cali
R D. Miles, a visitor in this city. gives a
graphic account of the prices current for
ordinary commodities on the upper Yukon
river, Alaska.
He has just returned from that country
where, he states, there were over 100 men
at work during the last summer washing
gold from the river bars and riffs. TIE
majority Of them will winter In that coun-
try.
Well, I'll tell you. am glad to get back
TO civilization again." he said. "Gold Is
plentiful; in fact, it is an ordinary trick for
man to wash out from $50 to $50 day,
but a mau needs all that to live any way
comfortable In that country, and he has but
httle 10 snow after season OF hard work.
when left that country trader with
q small stock OF goods was making his way
up the river for some of the coast trad
ing points in canoe. In fact he had sew
eral of them loaded with provisions. He
was assisted in his journey by half dozen
Indians.
"Wsll, when he left, after selling out his
oargoes, he had about all the gold dust the
miners had washed out in four or five
months of steady work.
I've ran short Of provisions and had sub
sisted on bear meat and other game 80 long
that we willingly parted with nearly all we
had TO get some civilized eatables.
We'll. this trader-his name was EN-
mons-sold the several sacks of spuds be
had with him at the rate Of from so to 80
cents per potato.
His flour sold for $50 sack, and we
we're just glad enough to pay So pound
for the very poorest quality of tea he had
with him.
He had several sides of bacon in his
stock, which he disposed OF at about 81
slice. A few sacks of the despised bean
brought 81 a pound.
1--WE had bean out OF tobacco for nearly
two months aud had drawn but little solace
out OF pipefuls Of dried leaves and moss.
When this fellow appeared on the scene we
took him to our hearts as benefactor and
gave him ounces of gold for plugs of to-
baoco. An ounce of gold brings SIC in
Alaska and $40 at the mint here.
"We bought hundredweight of onions.
for which we were assessed six ounces of
gold.
~ tell you what, we poured out the dust
upon that fellow Emmons, and he had so
much Of it don't think would like 10 take
the contract 70 pack 1t from here to the city
hall.
You must not think from this appalling
price list that We were starving to death.
We had plenty of game and fish, but that
kind OF grub pals on the appetite"
The boys" however, appear to have
made money on the Yukon river bars. Mr..
Miles states that all Of them have ''stakes. y
and he came down TO Victoria with several
Of them who had Cleaned I'D" from sI2-
600 30 s2S. 900 apiece.

THE WEATHER MoDERArINa.

Mercury Drops to 24', But VIII Go
Up To-day.
A part Of yesterday was the coolest Of the
season. As predicted by the weather bureau,
the temperature fell to 24' yesterday morn
ing. The sharp winds made the cold very
severely felt. The temperature moderated
considerably during the day. the thermom.
eter rising to Az before midnight.
Through an oversight all the teachers at
the Chatham school had not been supplied
with coal and it was necessary TO dismiss
the children of six Glasses on account OF the
cold. This was the cause OF great rejoicing
among the children of these classes with an
equal amount Of dissatisfaction upon the
part OF their parents.
There was some complaint at the Henry
Street school on account of the steam heat
ers not heating the rooms sufficiently, but
this is supposed to have been caused by the
janltor not yet having fully comprehended
the new system OF heating.
The prediction is that the weather will
open fair and much warmer this morning
followed by rain during the day.
