in the Electrical Building has already
been begun, and the Machinery Build

next week. The parking is almost
finished, and the grounds and build

WHAT is a mai to believe about the
silver question! The gold papers say
that the silver case is passing and that
free coinage has no advocates now.
On the other hand, it is claimed by the
other side that silver is growing in
popularity every day, and that it has
no opponent: except office holders,
bankers and money lenders. The av-
erage :uan will have to wait until the
election of 1896, before he knows the
sentiment of the people on the ques-
ton.

words of the Mediterranean sea cap

Arise, call upon thy God, if so be that
God will think upon US, that we per-

better call upon him. Do you say, 81

call upon your fathers God. When
your father was in trouble, whom did
he fly to: You heard him in his old
days, tell about some terrible exposure
in snow storm, or at sea, Or in bat
tie, or among midnight garroters, and
how he escaped. Perhaps 90 years be-
fore you were born your father made
sweet acquaintance with God. There
is something in the worn pages of the
Bible he used to read which makes
you think your father had God. In
the old religious books lying around
the house there are passages marked
with lead pencil-passages that
make you think your father was not
goddess man. but that, on that dark
day when he lay in the back room
dying, he was ready-all ready. But
perhaps your father was a bad man
prayerless and blasphemer, and YOU
never think of him now withou:
shudder. He worshipped the world
or his own appetites. Do not then l

HIS GOLD-BOTTOMED LAKE.
story of Remarkable Discovery
of Loose wealth in Alaska.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Returning miners and prospectors from
Alaska tell differing stories of their hunt
for gold. Some have been successful.
some have failed. There is one man,
however, who came down on the last trip
of the steamer Topeka who thinks he has
found such a fortune that he is almost
afraid to talk about, for, as he says ''peo-
pie could not believe it,"
Hans Christian Pande, an old sea cap
tain and a former resident of Tacoma is
the man who believes he has found a
treasure. He, with seven others, has
taken up 1853 acres about eighteen miles
from Sitka, and il is called "Pande's basin
placer claim" Within the limits of the
claim is a lake l.OO0 yards long, 400 yards
wide and $50 feet deep. The lake is fed
by water from glacier above, and its
outlet is only two feet deep, little stream
that hurries at lightning speed down the
canon below. The action of the glacier,
which has been going on for centuries,
probably. has brought down from the
mountains above large deposits of flour
gold, and this has all, of necessity, been
held within the boundaries of the little
body of water. The action of the glacier,
the deepness Of the lake and the shall
lOWnesS of the outlet is the combination
which, Mr.. Pande thinks, has covered
the bottom of the lake with millions Of
Assays of sand from the shores Of the
lake made by ]. A. Becker, an assayer at
Sitka, show that il Will produce the al
most unbelievable result of IS and SO a
cubic yard. The statement that half
cent a cubic yard, will allow a man to
make $4,000 a year will illustrate the size
Of Mr.. Pande's find. He says that he can
not, of course, believe or hope that these
assays will be borne out by future devel-
opment, but If he can get only compare
lively small part of that amount he will
be satisfied. What Mr. Pande and his as
sociates want to do is to tap the rock wall
of the lake on the lower side, so that the
water can be almost entirely drained out.
Then, Mr.. Pande thinks. a field of flour
gold will lie before him.
Mr.. Pande's golden Mecca is reached on
~ by the greatest hardship and danger,
and he and two companions, he claims,
are the only persons who have ever come
back alive from the little lake. The outlet
stream, while only two feet deep, has such
a swift current that when the discoveries
were crossing 1t the icy waters swept up
over their heads, and 1t was only by cling
ing with tenacious grip to a rope that had
been caught on the other side that they
were saved from destruction. 1t is impos-
sible to reach the place in winter, and Mr..
Pande and his companions will not make
another attempt to visit their lake until
spring.

HIS LIFE SAVED BY A KISS.
Result of a Married Mans Filtration
With n Farmers Daughter.
FROM the New York Sun.


Topeka, Nov. 9.-It is not often that so
small thing as a kiss saves a human
life, but if f. L. Baker, the baggageman
on the recently wrecked Missouri Pacific
train, near Neaton, had remained in his
seat a moment longer his life would have
been crushed out OF him in that accident.
A few hundred yards from where the
wreck occurred lives a well-to-do-farmer.
Several months ago his daughter stood
in the kitchen doorway one day as the
train went past the farmstead. Baker
stood in the open doorway of his car, and,
seeing the girl, carelessly waved his hand
to her. She slightly returned the signal,
and from that incident sprang up

it, the crash came, and Baker car was
a mass of ruins in an instant. His
standing in the strong door frame saved
a mass of rubbish, but got OFF with a few
bruises and slight scratches. Passengers
succeeded in extricating him among the
first and when he was released and stood
upon his feet the first greeting was from
the farm lassie, who begged to know If
he was hurt. He assured her that he was
not and with a smile she blUshed and
ran back to the house. Then Baker
realized a new danger. An innocent

there but Baker found himself too busily
occupied with other matters to give her
more than q passing notice.
When Baker arrived ct home he told
his wife all about il, and Conductor Pat

her husbands life had been saved, when

HE CAN'T FEEL PAIN.

New York, Nov. 1O.-Thomas w. Vree-
land was brought to this city last Tues
day night from the Incurable hospital,
on Blackwell's Island, and was subject
ed by a number of New York physicians.
including such eminent men as Prof.
Starr and Prof. Fisher, to what would
ordinarily be called inhuman treatment.
The physicians jabbed knives into the
most sensitive parts of Nreeland's sody
and stuck their fingers into his eyes. He
was returned late in the night to the is
land. Vroeland himself is authority for
this statement and apparently bears no
resentment toward the medical gentle
men. bur on the contrary is grateful for
the excursion to which he was treated.
