ALASKA Is PROSPECTING.
Up in That Territory People Do Not
Worry About the Suingency.

James Sheakley, governor of Alaska,
has submitted his annual report to the
secretary of the interior, says the New
York World. The governor states
that because Of his brief control of the
territory he must be limited to gener-
aities in his report. There has not
been sufficient time to ooilect accurate
statistics Of the diversified industries
and products Of the country. The civil
officers who We're intrusted with the
administration both of the civil and
criminal Law have been vigilant and
faithful in the discharge Of their
duties, and the people Are in the enjoy
ment of peace and prosperity. Mining,
fishing and the taking Of furs are the
leading industries that furnish employ
ment for large majority of the peo-
pie, both white and native.
There has been greatly increased
activity in the gold mining industry
during the past year. The weh-estab-
Eshed mines have continued to yield
their usual amount, and some OF them
have largely increased their production
Many new claims have been located
and new mines opened with gratifying
results. The large amount Of fish tax
en- from Alaskan waters during the
past few years has created some APP
prehension in regard TO the supply.

THE LONELINESS OF STAGE LIFE.

Georgia Cayvan was talking of the
loneliness of stage life, says Stageland.
1t WAS directly after the second act
of "The Charity Ball." and Miss Cay
van was in her dressing room. -
Very Often women who ought to
know better" she said, rave to me
about the jolly Companionship of the
stage-of the immense fun and the
never ending excitement that comes
to those who take UP acting us Il pro-
fession. They do not know of the lone.
illness at all-Of the narrow encompass
ing line that imprisons us and makes
us beings apart from the great body
of men and women as far as enjoy
ment and friendly companionship is
concerned. The fOotlightS flicker burn
low, burn high, yet we and our world
stay ON one side, and the easy going,
heater-loving folks on the other. No
Brahmin-like code of caste is more
rigorous than are those little lights that
fringe the stage. They speak their
edict to us, and tell us that while there
is another world beyond our make
believe one with it's powders and paint,
it's silks and rags, we must not relax
our efforts to enjoy it even temporari-
ly or our work will suffer. Jolly, is it?
Jolly to sit alone In ones dressing
room, when not acting; to go to ones
hotel, to sleep, to work, rehearse and
then act again, oh yes, it is jolly-as
jolly as poor st. Simeon was up ON the
pillar. We have to stimulate joy and
sorrow, tears and laughter SO often
that we never have time to give our
emotions full sway. We are often in
vited to dances, to teas, to receptions
which we may not attend, and yet
mimic them-pretend to have them
while the audience that sits in front
says: 'Ah, how they seem to enjoy
it all. Jolly! All, yes, the life of ar
actress is one eternal round of intox
icatng pleasure"

FIGHTING A SWORDFISH
The Sea Monster Drove His Weapon
Through the Cedar Yawl.

Every Saturday:-Swordfish are I'M
usually plenty off the coast this sum-
mer. The fisherman hunt them with
harpOons, spearing them from the
decks of small sail vessels. The fish
ing mack Matte and Lena has arrived
here after four days trip about Rock
island with sixteen large swordfish.
averaging 800 pounds each, and an
exciting story of q struggle for life
between Henry Cheesebro, one Of the
crew, and a wounded and maddened
SWordtish.
Cheesebro had harpooned big fish
off Montauk point, and, after waiting
the usual length of time, got into a
small boat to bring the apparently ex-
hauSted fish to the vessel AS soon as
Cheesebro approached him and COM
menced hauling in the line, the fish
awoke from his torpor and started in
to battle for his life. He began opera
ti0ns by diving so as to spear Cheese
bros boat on coming to the surface
Missing his aim, the fish dived again
for second attack
1t was now too late for Cheesebro to
retreat, and, defenseless in the frail
cedar yawl, he awaited the onslaught.
One when he drove his sword COM
pletely through the boat from side to
side. The sword entered the boat
about three feet from the bow on the
port side and came out through the
thin plank on the starboard side
Cheesebro had retreated to the stern
to the boat in time to avoid the vol
lence Of the fierce fish and thus escap-
cd injury.
His plight was seen from the schoon-
er and the vessel headed for the
scene of the conflict. BY constant bail
ing Cheesebro kept the frail and dis
abled craft afioat until succor arrived.
A blow on the head finally killed the
fish, and Cheesebro's peril rs a sword
fisherman was over for this time. The
fish weighed 33S pounds. .>s.a

MARRIED A ZULU.

Detroit Free Press:-Basgoa Guruel-
la is Zulu who was on exhibition at
the worlds fair. He left for his own
country few days ago, taking with
him his wife, a fair American girl
whom he had become acquainted with
at awater-fountain at the fair.
He met the girl only few times until
he found himself head over ears in
love with her, and she reciprocated the
attachment. In a few days more they
were duly married.
The young Lady has no relatives in
the world except a brother in Texas.
She is said to be thoroughly infatuated
with her dusky husband, and is very
anxious to get back to his native land
with, him. He has nine other wives
there, but he says he intends to give
them all to his brother without delay.
He claims to be an aristocrat and Of
the immediate family OF the king of
Zulus. His young wife win probably
have plenty of time to repent Aof her
choice after she has lived awhile in a
Zulu hut and learned how womeA are
treated In that country.

er wasteful destruction of this valuable
species of food, and no effort in this
direction shall be relaxed. The rains
during the present season have so
swollen the streams that the usual
catch could not be taken, and the pack
will not be up to the average.
The decision Of the Boring Sea court
OF Arbitration at Paris, Governor
Sheakley says, has given great salts
faction to the people of Alaska. He
says it puts IN end to the rayages of
the polcher.
Governor Sheakley concludes his re-
port as follows: DIR. Sheldon Jackson,
who was the first Protestant mission
airy in Alaska, and by whose good
Management the government and mis-
sion schools Were established, is now
engaged in the hudable work of i'm
porting domesricated reindeer into
western Alaska from the tame herds
in Siberia. Each year DR.. Jack,)n,
| with Captain Healy of the Bear, has
made annual trips to Siberia and
at points along the Alaskan co;,~-. 1t
is claimed that the introduction OF this
animal into the territory will arrest
the present starva tion and restock that
vast country with 4 permarcnt supply,
and that by covering these great plains
with herds of dOmeSticated reindeer,
it will be possible to support in cont
parative comfort large population.
Then it is also claimed that reindeer
may be used as means Of transpOrta-
mon. For more than 4 hundred years
after the discovery Of Alaska by Vitus
Boring, in 1742, that country supported
a great population and was Swarming
with sea otter and other ur-bearing
animals, and was Il mine of wealth to
the Russians for more than q century,

the United States District Court, the

Russian ruins at Sitka are beyond re-
pair, and it would be cheaper to build
new structures than to attempt their

were several railroad charters M for
consideration. Hans served faithfully,

TANNED IN A LONDON CROWD.
An Americans Experience When View.
ing the Royal Wedding Procession.

Among the many thousands who
made up the crowding Of London's
streets when the wedding procession
Of the Duke and Duchess of York
passed was an American. He subse-
quently told his experience during the
day to writer for the Pail Mall Bud
get. The American started by saying
that until that day he had prided him
self upon knowing what crowd was,
having seen the biggest political pro-
cession that ever marched in New York,
and having also been resent at the
opening of the worlds fair in this city.
His opinion about the matter Is chang
ed now. He arrived in London a few
days before the wedding and on the
advice of friend bought a seat in a
ST. James street stand. On Thursday,
the day of the wedding, he noticed that
people began to leave the hotel where
he was stopping about 10 o'clock, but as
the procession would not reach his
stand until 1890 he didn't start until
half an hour before noon. At Piccadil-
~ Circus his cab was stopped and he
started to walk the rest Of the way,
worming his way through the crowd
until he got within fifteen yards Of his
destination. There he stuck, and,
though a powerful man, over six feet
tall and weighing go pounds, he was
as helpless as an infant. The Ameri-
cans own words are:
when I found could do nothing
rested for minute or so and then ex-
erted myself. I might just as well have
tried to kick down the Tower Of Lon
don. The crowd swayed to one side
Of the street. I was forced to face
forward against plate glass window.
Ny nose was f1attened against Il. as
was taller than the wooden protection
in front of 1t, and IL I hadn't braced
myself against the latter my head, am
convinced, would have gone through
the window. The crowd moved on q
