condition of morals among girls from to

Business.

The Harbor Commissioners held very
quiet session yesterday. Considerable
business was transacted, but after the
lively matinee of last Thursday it was
tame and uninteresting. Inspector H. L.
Bienfeld, who raised such rumpus over
the construction of the Clay-street shed,
was expected to be present and address
the board Contractor Healy, of Healy &
Tibbetts, heard of the matter and he was
present to hear what was said. Bienfeld
evidently considered discretion the better
part of valor and stayed away. The report
of Chief Engineer Holmes on the work
pointed out what changes had been made
IN the specifications and proved that they
were all in favor of the commission. In
conclusion it said: Excepting the above
changes the shed was built strictly In &C
Cordance with the specifications, and /
therefore recommend the acceptance and
payment for the same On motion the
contractors account was then passed and

ALASKA'S PHANTOM CITY.
Mr.. White Saw itin Mirage and Thinks
1t Settlement at the Pole.

Some one revives every few years
the legend Of theSilent City, seen rs q
mirage over the Muir Glacier in Ola
cier Bay, Alaska, $50 miles above Ju-
neau. What processes to be u photo
engraving Of the city, with an aiiida
Wit attached was published and sold
some years ago, and at least half a
dozen white men profess to have seen
the city, while the natives of the Alas
kan coast cherish the tradition OF its
existence. The mirage is usually VS.
ible at about this time Of the year.
One man declares that he saw it on
July 5, 1889, and two others, it is de-
clared, have made affidavit that they
saw it three days before that date.
John M. White, a Virginian, who, AT.
ter ten or fifteen years spent in various
parts of the West, has settled down in
Philadelphia, solennly declares thai
he saw it on June 81 some years ago.
Mr.. Whites account OF the pheno-
menon is circum 'tantial in the high
est degree, and he JOINS to it theory
as to what the city is and where il
lies. He declares that he studied the
mirage for nine hours through pow
erful glass as 1T was spr ad above the
glacier ON the side of Mound Fair
Weather.
He affirms that the city is walled
that its houses are battIemented, and
the chimneys surmounted by chin
ney pots that within the walls there
is a tall monument, surmounted by
the sculptured figure OF an Indian in
full head-dress and feathers. His
glass revealed to him some OF the in
habitants, men in knee breeches and
jackets The only beast visible was a
donkey like creature, with a body as
large as that OF horse.
The mirage appeared at first about
II 80 a. M, as a mist and out OF this
rose the towers and battements Of the
city, as did those OF ancient Troy. By
noon the city was as clearly outlined
AS New York is from Jersey Heights.
Mr.. White rejects the various guess
es that the phantom city is Antwerp,
Montreal or Salt Lake City. It's arch
| itecture is unlike that of any other
city he has seen. That it ia a real city
