which under the generic name OF malaria
manifosts itself, when it clutches us in its
tenacious grasp, in the various forms of
chills and fever, bilious remittent, dump
ogue or ague cake, can only be effeetually
guarded against by terrifying the system
against its insidious attacks with Hostel

THE SILENT CITY.
Wonderful Mirage Of a Town That 10 Yet
Unidentified.

w
Unidentified.
Many stories have been written about
mirages and delusions, but mono moro
interesting and curious than that Of tho
Silent City illusion, which makes ito
appearance near the Pacific glacier, in
Alaska.
The discovery Of this wonderful
mirage, says the New York Weekly,
was made by the Indians, who often
tell Of the city which was built in the
clouds. The mirage can be seen in the
early part of July, from five to six P. m.
1t rises from the side of the Pacific
glacier. i first appears like a heavy
mist, and soon becomes clearer, and enc
can distinctly sec the specter city, well
defined streets and trees, tall spires,
huge and odd shaped buildings, which
appear to be ancient mosques and en-
thedrals.
1t is a city large enough to contain at
least twenty-five or thirty thousand
inhabitants. AS yet no one has been
able to identity it, although several
have claimed to recognize the place.
There is no city like it in Alaska, nor in
any country about il for thousands Of
miles Some claim it is city in Rus
STA, others say it is city in England,
but none can tell what or where it is.
The mirage was given the name Of
silent City" as it appears to one like
q dead city; there is nothing to indi-
cate that it is the pictured reelection Of
an inhabited place.

record of last nights game at the Foley,

handicapped at 225. and Carney played
at 800 even. The game was straight
rail, and, as each contestant made
specially OF safety shots, it spun out to
fifty-Seven innings. AT one time the
red ball was frozen to the cushion
for long period. So gently
did each mate play safety,
That for great number of innings the
red ball repOsed in great security. until
young Tom. apparently tired of the
monotOny. dislodged it. After that the
game proceeded OIL more even lines.
Taking The game SO far as the actual
total number of points made by each
man is ncerned, and throwing out of
consideration the seventy-five points
Foley was credited with at the start.
Carney really made eleven more points
than Foley. Foley, in his nineteenth
inning, made the splendid run of 80,
equaling, within one, his run of 81 made
last week. With all average of nearly
and a credited one of 1851, Foley
has no reason to stay in the back

Private advices from Alaska state that
the steamer Bertha arrived at Unalaska,
July 25, from ST. MichaePs and the
Yukon river, bringing reports of great
suffering Oh the part of the inhabitants
of the Yukon valley. During the last
winter the thermometer registered 50
deg below zero along the coast, and
Indians say such cold weather has never
before been known there. While it is
frequently as cold in the interior, it has
never been known to be so cold on the
coast.
Eighteen Indians starved to death
near the mouth of the Yukon during
the winter.
A letter received here from one of the
officers of the Bering sea fleet states
that the recent visit to the seal islands
by one of the officers of the fleet dis
closed the fact that while there is con-
siderable number of bull and bachelor
seals on the Islands, there are not as
many cows as last year, and it was
aScertained that the seals are rapidly
diminishing year by year. The Situa-
ton is regarded as alarming from the
standpoint of the preservation of the
seals. In fact there is such a decrease
in the number of seals that some of the
rOokeries are 70 longer occupied, aud
they are being renamed by The authOri0
ties.
