Discouraging reports about the
gold fields in Alaska have been
brought down from that region
recently by unsuccessful miners,
but every once in a while some one
turns up with the other side of the

arrived in San Francisco from the
Yukon River, bringing with him $45,
500 in gold dust, the result of two
years. work in the diggings at Forty
mile River. He says the unsuccess-

It is stated as an actual fact that all

Ky, are related to one another, d.
rectly or indirectly. The reason of
this is found in the remarkable Webb
family. There are three brothers
and three sisters of the original family,
all living near Sargent, and they have
no fewer than 748 descendants living
in the. neighborhood. The eldest
member of the family, Lettie, is 81
years old, and has 20 children, IS
grandchildren, and SO great-grand-
children. Polly aged 80, has sixteen

"HERB. ASK MA

Our clever young sister in the news
paper field, Miss Name Starr of the
Tracy Trumpet, has never replied to
the proposal of the tall pine Of Lake
Benton, Herb. Manchester. There is
an old rule that silence gives consent
and if we were in Herbs boots no
modern invention could get us over
the ground between Lake Benton and
Tracy quick enough--we would want
something as quick as lightning, a
something not yet invented to put us
there.
But why shouldn't Herb. even use,
what to the strong and constant lover
may seem slow, the wings of steam.
He has free transportation over the
Northwestern line and we have no
doubt that in view of the event of last
week the Vanderbilts would be willing
to give him specialtrain to make
the run.
There will be general rejoicing
among the newspaper fraternity of
Minnesota if Herb. takes advantage
of Names silence. It would be q
grand victory for the power of the
press. Here in the immediate neigh
borhood of the possible contracting
parties the newspaper men have been
wearing down their Fabers weekly in
efforts to bring about the match and
from far off, yea, the great newspa-
pers of the East, have came the echoes
of a possible successful oourtship
through the public press above
board, as it were. It ia excellent ad-
vertising, but in order to cap the pin
nacle and to show that they have some
regard for the press our Tracy sister
and Lake Benton brother should get
down to business and Name should
tell Herb. to "just ask pa and ma" and
then get the preacher.

Probably never before in the his
tory of the United States has such an
immense potato crop been raised. 1t
is doubtful whether such large crop
will ever be raised again. In regions
where potatoes heretofore have re-
fused to yield they have this year
turned out wonderfully. Northern
Michigan is swamped under pheno-
menal crop, and instead of the good
crop bringing good times it has
brought severe loss to very many
farmers. There is absolutely no
market for the product. They are
selling for as low as five cents per
bushel and inasmuch as many farm
ers up there had put all their money
in potatoes they are in hard straits
now.

Readers of THE REDWOOD GAZETTE last

publican paper The GAZETTE congrat-
ulates Maryland on its step into the
Republican fold, but as paper adve-
eating American principles first, last
and all the time, it regrets that Arthur
Pue German was crushed. Mr.. Cor
man dared to. oppose the Cleveland
administration in it's attempts to set
up harlequin monarchy in the
Hawaiian Islands after a Republic
had been created, was warm SYM
pathizer with the cause of the Cuban
patriots, was in for vigorous enforce
ment of the Monroe doctine when the
British landed their troops at Corinto.
For these patriotic actions he incurred
the displeasure of the Cleveland ad-
ministration and the word went down
the line to every Office holder in
the State of Maryland to oppose Cor
man by opposing the Democratic
nominees for State Offices. German
fell as consequence. Americans to-
day will have a warmer feeling for
German than for the Democratic ele-
ment that brought about his defeat.

INEAL1E oMIALA.
into the park one evening in September,
1883. and near the lake at Seventy-sec-
ond street he shot himself. His motive
for the deed was unknown and mex
plicable to his friends.
In the dark Of the early morning, one
day in the same month, a park officer
in passing through the north end of the
Ramble had his hat knocked of. He
looked about him. but there was no
living being in sight. Startled for
moment, he retraced his steps, and
when the hat was a second time
knocked of he stood still in his tracks.
glanced about and then reached up his
hand. He touched a mans foot. 1t
was the body of Henry Knoever, who
had hanged himself to branch of a
tree overarching the pathway.
The body of an unknown man in full
evening dress with pink in his but
tonhole was dragged out of the reser-
voir one day. To die in evening dress
before o'clock at night was probably
q more serious offense to convention
atty than the suicide would have real
lied.
One unfortunate severed the AFTER
les in his wrists, and the officers traced
him through the pathways, the shrub
berry and up the hillocks by the drip
ping trail Of blood until they found him
with still pulses lying dead on the
lawn.
An Italian brought a glass tumbler
and q small paper package to the park
one sweltering July day and sat be-
hind some shrubbery to dine with
Death. He ate the Paris green with
his fingers, drank a mixture of it from
the glass and lay down to die, a horri-
BILE spectacle. his face, hands and cloth
ing powdered with the poison-so he
was found by some children at play
in the park.
Mrs. Nellie Small, who drank 10 cents
worth Of carbolic acid one day In the
same month, was not deferred from her
crime by religious scruples, though she
carried small religious image Or amc-
let in her purse.

breast that her lovers aim should b
true. De Marcus had made elaborate
for posthumous advertis-
ing. In his pockets were pictures Of
himself and Of Juliet and newspaper
clippings Of his exploits In attempting
to start penniless and 20 around the
world.
Not more than 2 per cent of the park
suicides are women. The most pa
thetic case was that of a young wo-
man of 26 years, who bore every evil
dence of refinement and gentle birth,
though shabbily dressed in black. She
shot herself at the north end of the
reservoir Aug. Is. 1893. In her pocket
book were found a broken wedding
ring, lock of baby's hair. dried rose.
two copper pennies, Canadian coin.
an Army and Navy cent, and the fore
finger of her right hand bore the pricks
Of the sewing needle. No one ever
made inquiries for her at the Morgue
and she has nameless grave.
One young Hercules on the park po-
lice force saved in succession two love-
sick maidens from death, much to their
indignation. The park police have had
a special course in giving prompt help
In accident or emergency, and with es-
pecial reference to the park suicides
methods. Many lives are saved by their
efficiency and expert treatment, and
when Officer Hercules one evening dis
covered a young maid unconscious on
bench. with signs of poisoning in her
condition. he knew just what to do.
He shook her as q simple method Of
getting the poison out of her. He
held her by her skirts and her ankles
with her head downward, and when he
had succeeded In his emetical purpose
he sent the agitated and angry maid to
the Presbyterian hospital. where they
told her he had saved her life. even
though the method was not Of the ap-
proved professional school.
A few months afterwards the same
officer found second maiden in a sim
liar condition and relieved her Of the
poison in the same prosaic fashion, SO
that it Is now notably dangerous for a
maiden to attempt poisoning on his
beat.
Disappointed love, ill health and
business troubles are the chief motives
for the crime of the suicides who have
left letters to explain their rash deed
to the world. But probably the most
peculiar and mysterious suicide in the
history of Central park was that of one
G. Delo Casso. an Italian, who died to
escape the deathless vengeance Of the
Malta, according to his dying state
ment He shot himself over the right
temple one morning in February, 1894.
near the Moore statue
In his pocket were found crucifix
and letter and around his body was
belt containing $568.40. He was
dressed as laborer, but his letter
showed him to be a man of unusual in
telligence and education. 1t stated that
he had come from California. pursued
by the relentless Malta, and that he died
to escape its vengeance.

park policeman has found the white
~ from the shadows of its solitudes.
Behind the statue Of Schiller have many
kept their rendezvous with death; the
vicinity OF the summer-house, near
Sixth avenue. is a favored spot Of the
hopeless; the Pilgrim and the Moore
statues have been the scenes Of several
notable tragedies; the bronze eagles
have spread their dark wings over
many death agonies. and the waters
OF the reservoir have stopped the
breath of many an unfortunate.
Why Central Park, the pleasure
place of a great city. should be chosen
by the sorr0wful as a place of suicide
is a matter open to speculation. 1t has
the advantage of isolation. Its beauty
appeals to the sentimentalists and the
lovers of nature. The morbid seeker
for posthumous notoriety can find there
a picturesque background for his SEN
sational end. and the body is certain
to be found. The desperate man or
woman who wishes to fly the woes OF
sensation may more easily conceal iden-
tity by the short journey from the park
to the Morgue, from the Morgue to
Potter's Field, than by attempting felo
de Sc in hotel or railway station or
any more unusual place. It is also a
curious fact that strangers have gone
from other cities for the special pur-
pose Of killing themselves in Central
Park. Central Park has had two double
