Karl Jansen, young Dane, died at
Sitka a short time ago FROM powder
burns in the mouth. He had dropped
his shotgun into the water and was
drying and cleaning it by the light of
q candle. After having drawn the
charges he placed his mouth against
the muzzle of one OF the barrels to
blow into it to ascertain whether or
not he had completely removed the
old charges In doing so one of the
guns nipples must have approached
too close to the flame OF the candle,
which caused the remainder of the
powder in the chamber to explode,
the flame entering his mouth and
throat.

Captain Virgins made his first voy-
age on the steamer Diana in the year
1874. He passed around the northern
coast of Norway, through the narrow
Yugor Strait, traversed the Kara Sea,
the Arctic ocean, steamed into the
Yenissei river and thereby found the
northeast passage to Siberia. This
route he believed was open at certain
seasons of the year and so it proved as
other navigators followed him; and up
to the present time over twenty-five
trips have been made from English
ports alone.

the exploits of those intrepid souls
who, in the faded days of misty years,
sought, with romantic faith, an ice
girdled land, in whose placid waters
the whale bred its young and where
marvellous fountains gushed, flaming
the skies with changing lights. In
deed, in the minds eye, one sees the
hardy Dane, the adventurous Morse
man turning the Vallsyr's PROV north

star, seeking an open sea and land of
fair-haired women, of grapes with
skins bursting for the press, and vine
yards gladdened with song. 1t was IA

ice held its secret.
In these babbling, busting times of

dreamers among scientists and men of
business 1t is the same old man, the
same old spirit of the Morse; but now,
instead of treading the frail timber of
his ship, sits calmly in his office or IL
brary, figures and calculates on his
map, and announces his opinions in
learned jargon to his fellows in the
geographical society. He announces
his belief in an open sea if you could
only get there; observations at the

DOLE AND HIS CABINET.


As affairs in Hawaii are still in Il
very disturbed condition, the portraits
of the men who, as members of the
provisional government, have main
tanned order since the overthrow Of
the kingdom, will prove of interest.
They have been supplied by Aid.

provisional government celebrated the
first anniversary of its existence last
January, with fireworks, salutes and
military parades President Dole and
Mrs. Dole held reception in the even
ing. Since the overthrow of the mon
archy, the existence of the provisional
government has been threatened
several times from within and without,
but the craftsmanship and skill of
President Dole has hitherto guided
the new government safely through
all dangers As time elapses, the
prospects for the restoration of the
monarchy become smaller.
The president, Sanford b. Dole, was
judge of the Supreme court before
the revolution. He was born in Homo

father and mother were of the noble
band of missionaries, and landed in
Honolulu in the year 1910, after a
long and tedious voyage from their
home in the far away state of Maine.

The United States government owns
q great many miles of longshore tele-
graph lines, connecting light houses,
life-saving stations and other govern
ment property on the coast. 1t is
usually easy to recognize these gov
eminent lines by their low poles of

are planted deep in the sandy beach,
and, being of small diameter, they
present little hold to the sea winds,
and thus are seldom blown down.

Between nine and
ten o'clock last night some excitement
was created in the northwestern por-
ton of the city by a personal difficulty,
which occurred between two men, and
cries of police" followed. Officers
Grady and Coleman responded, and
upon arriving on the scene were told
that drunken man, one of the disor-
derby parties, had cut his antagonist
with a razor. The tipsy individual was
put under arrest and searched, but no.
thing but a pocket knife was found on
his person. The other man made no
such charge against him, and he was
locked up simply for being drunk and
disorderly, but was subsequently re-
leased by friend furnishing s. collat-
eral. The accused failed to "show up"
this morning. 1t seems the difficulty
had its origin in domestic infelicity, the
wife of the arrested party having de-
serted him and placed their children in
the house of an acquaintance. The
father went after the children last night
and got into a difficulty with man
who opposed his entrance into the
house. There was an evident DISPOSE
ton to hush the affair up.

tor of the First Presbyterian Church of

call from the Presbyterian Church in

was made by his church aud brethren
in the ministry here to have him re-
main in Norfolk, and he concluded to
DO so, his congregation receiving the an
nouncement with great pleasure. Last
night, however, Mr.. Vance announced
that he had reconsidered the matter
aud had concluded to accept the call to
Nashville. He will be parted

regret. He will not, however, leave

REMovED.-Mr. John L. Smith, who
has been the special policeman at the
Fayettc street depot in this city for
some years, has been removed from his
position. A few days ago Mr.. Smith
had some trouble with Mr.. Myers, the
yard master, in regard to the blocking
of a street by a train. during which the
yard master is alleged to have used
some hash language towards the spe-
cial officer, and the latter had him ar
rested. The company, it seems, took
the ground that Mr.. Smith should have
reported the matter to the railroad Off
Gals. The special officer, however,
claims he proceeded strictly in accord
ance with both the State and city laws
which prescribe penalties for blocking
a street crossing; that he, as an officer.
called Mr.. Myers's attention to his act
and was insulted by him, and he had a
right to have him arrested. The yarl
master in his statement at the trial said
the temporary blockade was unavoid-
able and that he removed the cars az
soon as possible.

purim," or the Day of Atonement, the
hottest and most solemn day in the
calendar of the Jewish Church, will be-
gin at shutdown to-day. 1t will be OBJ
served by the Israelites this evening
and all tomorrow. The dominant idea
of Atonement Day is penitence and
prayer. 1t is day of fasting, of sor
row for sin and remorse. The fast,
however, is only an incident of the ser,
vice, and by no means its principal
thought. The true conception of the
day is that it is period of the time en-.
tirely devoted to God and spiritual
meditation, when the world in its cares,
temptations, weakness and desires is
entirely forgotten. The abstinence
from food and drink is merely the token
of forgetfulness of the body and the SUI
premacy of the soul for that one day.
