THEY LIKE TOBACCO.
How the Esquimaux Eat and Smoke
the Weed.


the Weed.
| Perhaps there is nothing more peculiar
about the Esquimaux of Point Barrow
| than their methods of using tobacco,
which, of course, they procure from the
/ whites. They know good from bad TO-
bacco. When they get hold of few
| plugs of commissary tobacco from yes
sci of the United States Navy. they show
a marked appreciation OF it. The habit of
! chewing the weed seems To be universal.
Men, women aud even unWeaned call-
dren keep quid, often of enormous size.
| constantly in the mouth. The juice is not
spit cut, but swallowed with the saliva,
without producing any symptoms of
nausea.
| These people, for the sake of making
their tobacco go further, eat 1t up very
! fine and mix it with finely chopped wood.
in the proportion of about two parts OF
tobacco to one of wood. Willow twigs
are commonly used for this purpose, pos
sibly because they have slightly aro-
matte flavor. The mode Of smoking the
weed thus prepared is very odd. The
smoker, after clearing out the bowl OF his
pipe with a little picker or bone, plucks
from the deerskin clothing in some con-
| spicuous place a small Wad of hair. This
he rams down to the bottom of the bowl,
the purpose fit being to prevent the fine
| tobacco from getting into the stem aud
clogging it up. The pipe is then filled
with tobacco, of which it only holds d
very small quantity. The tobacco is then
| ignited and all of it is smoked out in two
or three strong whiffs. The smoke is
very deeply inhaled and is allowed TO
pass out slowly from the mouth and nos
trils.
This method of smoking would be found
exceedingly trying by any white man.
In fact it usually brings tears to the eyes
| of the EsquimauX, OF producing giddi-
ness and almost always violent fit of
coughing, a native will sometimes be
almost prostrated from the effects of a
single pipeful. These people carry their
fondness for tobacco so far that they will
actually eat the foul, oily refuse from the
bottom of the bowl, the smallest portion
of which would produce nausea in civ
ilized person. This habit has been like
wise observed in Northern Siberia. They
also eat the tobacco ashes, perhaps for the
sake of the potash they contain. Wash

Mu.t Have FIRE Escane.,

Yesterday marked the beginning of the
enforcement of the city ordinance relative
TO repairing fire escapes. By peculiarly
OF the ordinance Chief of the Fire Depart
ment Hunt has nothing to say only in
cases where fire escapes have already been
attached to buildings. He considered the
escape at the rear of the Arlington hotel
unsafe and notified David Gilmore, the
owner of the building. to that effect Two
notices were sent, but Chief Hunt says nc
attention was paid 70 the matter. Yester.
day he had Mr.. Gilmore arrested. The
latter appeared IN the municipal court
confident that the fire escape was in good
order. A consultation followed between
the judge, the chief aud Mr.. Gilmore, after
which the two last mentioned went to the
building to investigate. Chief Hunt SAYS
Mr.. Gilmore was surprised to find the
fastenings loose and agreed to remedy the
defect Immediately. The case was dis.
missed later in the day.

ARRESTED In JAPAN.
La Fayette Cole Imprisoned for No
Paying a Hotel Bill.


La Fayette Cole. formerly of this city
and last heard of in Mexico. where he as
sumed the name Of Frank B. Wrestling,
whom he had swindled here, has turned
up in Japan, having travelled halfway
around the globe since the good advertis-
ing he got in Mexico.
News has just been received that Cole
was arrested in Lakobe, Japan, for indebt-
edness to the Oriental hotel. After hav-
ing been imprisoned Tor fifteen days he
was discharged by the United States con-
sular court. Cole will be remembered by a
number of peope in Seattle. whom he VIC
timized by securing their Endorsements on
drafts which were dishonored. He had been
travelling for number of years for differ
ent electrical supply houses and found no
difficulty in securing Inducements, as he
had done the same thing before and his
drafts had been honored. He also victim
lied large number OF people in San Fran
cisco. securing about 81, 200 there In that
way.
Because Mr.. Wrestling caused him to be
traced TO Mexico. he assumed that gentle
mans name there and remained until he
was found out, when, it seems, he emf
grated to Japan.

of being able to get judgment against the

was not so sure of being able to satisfy it
promptly, and he felt that as an offer Was
made of cash without delay the city could

STOLEN HORSE FOUND.
Left ut . Livery stable by the Unknown
Thief.

The sorrel horse stolen from son of
w. NJ. Rogers at Ken. Friday night latter
the bali" was found in the livery stable of
w. H. Conover. on Fifth and James
streets, yesterday. The proprietor read
the account of the theft published in the
Posr-ISrELLisEScER yesterday and at once
recognized from the-description the horse
as one left ct his stable Saturday morning
by stranger. The sheriff was notified
however, and the horse was identified a.
the one stolen. So far no trace of the man
has been obtained.
]. Mcdonald, the hostler. says that on
Saturday morning the horse was left with
him by aman about 40 years old. but whose
face he did not notice closely; in tact, he
would not recognize him on the street, al
though il he should come into the stable
he might. The stranger said that he
wished TO leave the horse for q short time
and would come back soon. He went but
and has so far failed to SHOW up again.
Sheriff Woolery now thinks that some
one who wanted to get to Seattle pretty
badly took the horse ard rode it into the
city; then, wishing to rid himself of 1t, he
left il at the stable where il was found.

BLOW FROM ABOVE.
Lake Union Woodehopper In
stantly Killed.
A DEAD LIMB FROM A TREE TOP.
It Fell On Him While He Was Look
ing Out for the safety
OF Others.

An aged woodchopper named John
Flemming was instantly killed yesterday
afternoon on the shore OF Lake Union.
near the portage, by a large limb from n
falling tree.
Flemming lived in cabin near the lake
and made his living by chopping wood.
Yesterday he was working with 0. c.
Smith on a large fir tree, whose top
branches held a dead limb. four inches
through and about twelve feet in length.
They sawed the tree through, and as il
fell each stepped back few feet. Fleming
turned his head towards house close at
hand 10 see that no one was in danger.
While he stood looking out for the safety
of others he gave no thought of the dead
limb in the tree above. As the monarch
of the forest toppled it released the limb.
which fell straight down.
Smith saw it coming. and yelled to his
partner. Instinctively Flemming looked
up. and as he did so the cudgel, with the
force gained in a fall of over l50 feet.
struck him just above the left eye. There
was not a cry or moan. The victim sank
to the ground lifeless at the same moment
the crash OF the falling tree sounded on
the air. Smith ran to his companion and
called TO him, but there was no response.
The lump over the eye became larger,
blood spurted from the PROSTATE mans
mouth and dyed his long flowing beard a
crimson hue. The heart had stopped beat
ing. and death was apparent.
Word was Immediately sent to Coroner
Horton. who investigated the case and de-
cided an inquest unnecessary. The remains
were brought TO Bonney Il Stewards I'M
dertaking rooms, where they will be held
awaiting instructions from relatives or
friends.
Fiemming was a venerable man in APP
pearance. having long gray beard. heavy
eyebrows and little hair on his head. He
was 90 years old and unmarried, so far as
is known. He was a native of Pennsyl-
vania, but frequently spoke of having
lived in Texas and owned property there.
