OFF FOR sPITZBERGEN.
Walter WeIlman and His Party Leave
for the North.


The American north polar expedition.
under the command of Walter wellman,
sailed yesterday from Aalebund, Norway.
for the island Of Spitzbergen on the steam
er Ragnvold Jarl, which has been chartered
for the purposes of the expedition.
Experts pronounce the steamer to be the
best iceboat belonging to Norway. The
American aluminium boats that the expedi-
ton carries are greatly admired for their
strength, beauty and lightness. AS the
Ragnvold Jarl left the quay on her voyage
to the far north the stars and stripes were
hoisted at the foremasthead and salutes
were fired.
All the shipping in the harbor were decor
ated with flags in honor of the arctic ex-
plorers. A large fleet of small boats es-
corted the Ragnvold Jarl out of the harbor.
Prior to the departure of the steamer a
large number of cable dispatches expressing
we'll wishes for the success of the expedi-
ton were received from the United States.

COLUMBIA ROAD TRACKS.
The Commissioners VIII Equip the
Line With Grooved Rails.

Since November %. 1898. the Commission
ers have been endeavoring to get the Co
lumbia Railway Company to relay its
tracks with grooved rails as required by

ton of Capt. Fiebeger in the matter:

begun and the Columbia Railroad Company
showing no indication Of relaying its tracks
with grooved rails, / recommend that the
work be advertised and done by the Com

An Appeal for the Soda Water Boys.

To the Editor Of The Evening Starr
1 have noticed with pleasure that Con-
gress is beginning to take little interest
in the wage-earners of our city in pro-
viding seats for the over-worked shop girls
While this is highly commendable, another
oppressed fraternity have been entirely
overlooked-the boys at the soda foun-
tains. If there is a class of overworked
poorly paid individuals in this city this is
the class. These boys go to work at in
the morning and work until IL o'clock at
night, with an hour or half-hour for meals
Nothing is furnished to sit down on; so
there they have to stand seven days in the
week for thirteen hours a day! Think of
It, you eight-hour law agitators! Standing
on your feet for thirteen hours day, and
this for 50 per week! I'll leave 1t to any
enc who knows anything at all about it If
there are dozen drug stores in the city
that pay their soda boys over So a week. And
the fountain is a dyspepsia and rheumatism
breeder. 1t breeds dyspepsia because the
boys frequently live long way from the
store. and they have to run home, bolt
their food and hurry back again in an hour
or half-hour; rheumatism. because there is
always water under ones feet. In some
stores they provide a wooden mat to stand
on, but most of them have nothing at all.
The boys work for about five months in the
year, and for about two months after they
quit work for the summer the physician re-
ceives the benefit of their labor 1 know
one boy who has been laid up all winter
with infamn1atory rheuma tism, as re-
suit OF trying: to earn spending money dur
ing vacation. There is an urgent need for
an eiSht-hour law, or to have seats pro-
vided for these, the most oppressed of the
oppressed in our capital city. Congress
ought certainly to see that something is
done for these poor boys Immediately.

The Women Are 1.-the n GraceA"A
and Wear White Dresses

The wcu,en Are 1.-the N Grace1ol
and Wear White Dresses.
The women have well-modeled limbs,
yoluptuous, lustrous eyes and are OF
every color, from mahogany to tne
white and pink complexion of the 1alr'
est Anglo-Saxon. The dress OF q fara'
gnavsn woman consists merely OF a
snow-Hhite tunic, coming dow TO ule
knees, and q white shawl. Ihese W.
men are ~bare-footed. They staik
through the streets with a soft, supple
p%antt:cr-like tread that is most Deauu-
full, for they do not indulge in
heeIra Boots and stays, but step out as
Eve herself might have done, quite I'll
impaueu by their simple dress, when
is merely Il short tunic tied around the
waist and adorned with the pretty
native lace. These tunics have sloft
sleeves and very low necks, and reveal
the statucsaue shoulders and breasts
rather more than would be considered
delicate in Europe.
This mild race lives principally on
oranges, pumpkins, cassava and other
fruits and vegetables, being almost veg
etarians. MANY are the virtues Of these
poor, brave ParaguayaEs; they are hos
pitabIe, kindly, honest and, though
marriage is looked upon as an unneces-
sary prelude to to young people start
ing housekeeping together, they are re-
markably constant in their attach
ments. The Paraguayan girls arc like
B.ron's savage heroines-faithful unto
death, soft as doves, but reody to give
UP their lives for their mates. What /
PARTICULARLY remarked was the jovial,
cay nature of this amiable and innocent
race.-Knight's "Cruise of the Falcon"

With Her Impatient Question.
The young fellow was extremely dif.
ficult and very much in love with the
girl.
He had made half-a-dozen attempts
to offer her his heart and hand, but on
each occasion he had fallen short.
To add to the seriousness Of the sit.
nation the girl was ready to accept him
as soon as the proposal was In definite
shape.
Even the mother was willing, but lat
terly she had grown tired of the dila-
tory tactics and Fabian policy Of the
sutton. and had kicked ON his coming so
often and staying SO late.
One night after three hours Of strug-
gle on his part, and much delicate en-
c~Ouragement on the part of the girl, he
had seized her hand convulsively, drop
ped on his knees impetuously, and was
about one-ffth through an impassioned
appeal to her to be his'n, when the
mothers voice sounded clear ON the
night from the head of the stairs.

deputy Marshals Become
and Fire Upon Each Other.
Chicago, July 13.--United States Den
uty Marshal Peter Fischer and an H.
year-old boy, Andrew Gregory, were IA
tally wounded last night in a fusillade
between deuties in Kensington. Some
unknown person had placed on the Illi-
nois Central tracks several torpedoes
which were exploded by an outgoing
train. When the explosions occurred
two parties of deputy marshals rushed
out from cars in which they were sleep
ing IN opposite sides of the track. They
seemed ratified by the unexpected Incl
dent and began %discharging their revolv-
ers recklessly, and with the result named
above. The boy Gregory was one of a
number of residents of the vicinity who
rushed out at the sound of the shooting.
Several other people had narrow escapes.
The deputies assert that they were firing
at three men who were seen running
away from where the torpedoes exploded,
but people in the vicinity say there was
no one about. Five of the deputies were
arrested by the police.
