: A CANADIAN TRICK.
An Attempt to Corral the Best Part
of Alaska.

BALTIMORE, Sept.9.-Rev. Father
Zonas Barnum, who has recently
returned from the interior of Alas
ka, where he spent four years in
missionary work among the ma
tives, gave to the Baltimore Sun an
interesting interview regarding
the Alaskan boundary dispute be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
1.-THE claim made by the British
government at the instance of
Canadians" said he, "embraces a
valuable strip of land, a portion of
which is the key to vast extent
of the interior of Alaska possessing
rich mineral resources. Another
portion would give them control
OF some fine natural harbors, and
in third place they would gain
one Of the most magnificent scenic
regions in the world, Glaciers bay,
which is now beginning to be
visited by thousands OF tourists,
all over the world during the win
ter months. Although the i'm
mense value of this land cannot be
accurately determined, a knowl-
edge of its geographical position
on the coast shows that great COM
mercial advantages should accrue
in the future from its possession.
1t is narrow strip, running near
est this country, with the most
temperate climate and the only
part of the territory that Is settled
by any considerable number Of
white men,"
One important effect Of Great
Britain's daims, il they should be
allowed, would be that Britain
would have control OF the gold
fields in the northeast corner Of
Alaska. These fields pan out about
500, 900 each year, but it has been
stated that there are prospects
there yet unworked as well as
other mineral industries which
will likely cause considerable i'm
migration there when it becomes
known.

pynam,tine the Church.

GREENvILLE, Mich, Sept. 9.-An
attempt was made yesterday morn
ing about o'clock to blow up the
First Congregational church Of this
city, with dynamite. The charge
was placed under the corner stone,
but not being put under far
enough, little damage was done.
The supposition is that the attempt
was made for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning a large sum of money that
is reported to have been deposited
in the corner stone when the
church was built.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Church music
has strange effect upon the SEN
sibilities OF Miss Bessie Ayers, Of
Evanston. During the Sunday
services at the First Congregation
al church in that suburb Miss
Ayers was completely hypnotized
by the strains of the organ and she
finally went into a hypnotic fit
from which she was resuscitated
with the greatest difficulty. Miss
Ayers was sitting in the very
center of the church and her action
created the greatest excitement.
As soon as the strains of the organ
were heard, those sitting near Miss
Ayers noticed that she half rose in
her seat as if to change her posi-
ton. Then she seemed to think
better of it and sat down. In a
moment those in the same pew
noticed that her fingers were
twitching nervously and that her
face had become so red as to be
nearly purple. A lady sitting be-
hind Miss Ayers asked if she could
help her. She turned to reply, but
no words came from her lips. She
seemed to be making a desperate
struggle with some emotion and
her whole body was now twitching.
Suddenly the blood left Miss Ayers
face and left her as pale as death.
She made an effort to rise, wavered,
tried to catch herself in the pew
and fell headlong into the aisle,
which startled every one on that
side of the church.
An usher at once rushed to her
assistance. He attempted to raise
her to her feet but she had stiffened
until every muscle seemed strained
to the highest tension. Her eyes
were wide open with a fixed and
CLASSY stare and those around for
a moment feared that she had been
victim of sudden attack of heart
disease. She was carried into the
open air, where it was thought she
would recover, but she was still as
insensible as when first picked up.
After a few moments of vigorous
work she slowly began to revive.
The usual question of "where am
l att was asked by Miss Ayers and
as she had recovered, she went on
81 have not the first idea of any
thing that happened after L heard
the first strains of the voluntary"
When told of the circumstances
which had brought her where she
was, Miss Ayers said: 81 have
been taken that way before, the
doctor says it is pressure of the
blood on the BRAIN"
DR.. Loba, the pastor of the
church, said that after the service
Miss Ayers came to him to inform
him that she had been uninjured by
her experience and explained to
him the cause of her remarkable
actions.

"that Miss Ayers has for a long
