He Founded q City.
From Harper's Weekly.


One of the strange pioneers who have
been beyond the reach of civilization for
over thirty years has just returned to San
Francisco on his first visit. This is Joseph
Juneau, the founder Of the Alaskan city
which bears his name. Juneau is a French
Canadian, who caught the gold fever in
1851, and came to California by the old
overland trail. He tried mining, but failed,
and then became a hotel keeper Three
years later, when the Cariboo gold excite
ment came he Joined the rush TO British
Columbia. From that place he went still
further north to Alaska, and settled on the
site of the present city of Juneau. Like all
old prospectors, he has never been able TO
overcome his passion for mining. His uncle
Solomon gave his name to Juneau, Wis,
and also was one of the founders of the
capital of Wisconsin.

The other day an Irishman, who was
charged with being drunk and disorderly,
nearly drove magistrate mad. The fol-

Magistrate-"Will you sign the pledge If

Prisoner-"shure, OF can't WROTE, yer

Magistrate-"But you can make a mark"
Prisoner-"Phwat koind av a mark, yer

Prisoner-'Oi always shtand up when o.

Then the jailer took the prisoner in hand
and the magistrate mopped his moist brow.

LONDON, Eng, Oct. 27.-The Pail Mall
Gazette publishes a dispatch from its
Rome correspondent, in which he says:
The coming Presidential election in the
United States is the absorbing topic at the
Vatican, owing to the strides made by
Catholicism in America, now one OF the
larges. sources of income the church has.
1t has recognized that the standing dam
ger to Romanism in the United States is
the independence of the American
Bishops, notably since the death of Plus
TX. The latter recognized that these
Bishops enjoyed greater power than their
brethren elsewhere, and he showed be ur-
derstood this by his answer to some Eng
llsh priests who asked for certain prfvi-
leges. He said: Il am, as you say, Pope;
yet l cannot grant your request. But l
can show you way to obtain your desire.
Go to America, Tor there the Bishops are
greater than the Pope" On the ascension
of Pope Leo matters assumed different
aspect. He charged Mgr. Satolli with the
d uty of intimating to the Bishops in un-
mistakable language the limits of their
powers and the result was something like
a split, which it took Mgr. Satolh to heal
But his mission had good results.
The correspondent adds that the Vati-
can does not wish the clergy in the United
States 10 take part in the campaign, lest
there should be new division in the
ranks and an outburst of Incorporate
political feeling on the part OF the clergy.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. 27.-E. R.
Lynch, secretary of the Peoples party
State Committee, makes the following
statement:
Within the past forty-eight hours have re-
ce1ved 500 letters from different sections of
the State saying that loan agents are notifying
mortgagers that in case Bryan is elected they
will promptly foreclose every mortgage as fast
as it becomes due and that insurance agents
say they will cancel all policies in the same
event.
The letters state tn at in every township in
the State where the farmers are heavily mort
gagged and where the silver sentiment is
strong, one of these agents can be found. The
Republicans have made careful poll OF these
townships and know who have mortgages,
when they are due, how the mortgager in
te7ds to vote, his nationality, whether he can
be Influenced, etc.
This Information is given to the agent so that
he knows how to work each person. Some he
tells that Bryan intends to demonetize gold,
and that there Will be no gold with which to
pay gold mortgages. He tells others tn at if
Bryan is elected gold will go to a premium and
that it will take two silver dollars 10 get one
gold dollar; and, therefore. il will take twice
as many dollars 10 pay his mortgage II Bryan
is elected.
He pats the farmer on the back and tells
him that nothing but pure love for the farmer
induces these banks, loan companies and in
surance companies to call on MIN and warn
him against danger; that these companies
opposed to aEy law that would compel the
farmer to pay them twice as many dollars as
he borrowed. Oh, you have no idea how those
soulless corporations love the dear farmerl

Bryan appeared, and the greeting was OF
the most enthusiastic kind.
A large majority of this audience was
made up of Poles. and as Mr.. Bryan con-
cuded his remarks he was presented with
bouquet of sixteen white and one yellow
chrysanthemum. attached to which was
card inscr bed "161. 70 our next
President, compliments of the Polish
toiiers." A band of sixteen young ladies
in white and one in gold occupied the
platform and greeted him with song.
Mr.. Bryan spoke against allowing for

warned his hearers against allowing en-
ployers to influence their votes. saying
the employer had no more right to dictate
to them how they should vote than they
had to dictate to the employer how he

they have lost faith IN the justice of their

Twenty-Five thousand people were
packed in the pit and gallery of latter

mainly of men who had physical endur-

to contend for seat or standing space and

Bryan and at frequent intervals during
his speech was intense but not of long
duration. If Mckinley men were there
they did not show it by any counter aem-

Mr.. Mcmillan says that in the last four

the Republican poll from the result of the
election in 1892, when the poll showed the
State Republican by 10000 and it went
only $4,000. This years is the best poll
ever made. He gives the figures on a large
mum Der of counties which the silver men
have claimed by reason of great defections
from Republican ranks, and shows that
they are all safely Republican. Three per
cent of the Republican vote, or 1900, he
comedies for Bryan. He claims 80 600 Dem
ocratic votes. The tendency of the last
two weeks has been for all sound-money
Democrats to vote for Mckinley. Ger

make up the Democratic vote for McKin-
ley. Mr.. Mcmillan claims all the Con-
gressional districts for the Republicans.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. Pit is
learned by inquiry at the Department of
Justice that no attempt has been made by
the Attorney-General to prevent United
States Attorneys from making political
speeches during the present campaign,
although a number of such officers have
been making them on both sides of the
the money question. While the Attorney
General would prefer that such officers
should not make speeches, he resolved
early in the campaign and advised vari-
Gus ones of them who inquired that no

OF the questions at issue. The various

He urges them to look upon the flag as

OF its preservation.
They are reminded of the call to dis

walls of the headquarters building did
not have any perceptibIe effect on the
spirits of the campaign chairman or on his
subordinates. He was as confident as
ever, and said Bryan had come to Chicago
TOO late to make any serious inroads upon
the Republican ranks. Mr.. Hanna said:
This Bryan noise does not send any cold

their minds made up on the main issue,
so that any changes which Mr.. Bryan may

THAT EGG INCIDENT.
1t Vas Probably the Prank of MIS-
cIiepOxs BOu.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 27.-The egg
throwing incident of the Bryan parade
this afternoon has aroused considerable
lice Baoenoch took prompt action in the
matter. After the Battery D meeting,
Saul Van Praag and J. W. Murray of the
Cook County Marching Club, who were
hit by the eggs, made complaint to the
police.
The organization of which they are
mem bers acted as escort to Mr.. Bryan in
the parade from the U Union depot TO Bat
terry d. While passing a building on
Michigan avenue, between Madison and
Monroe streets, three eggs were thrown
from window of the METROPOLITAN Busi-
ness College. One of them hit Mr.. Van
Praag full in the back, and those march
ing near him had their clothes spattered.
None of the eggs hit Mr.. Bryan or came
nearer his carriage than probably ten feet.
The Chief on hearing the complaint, de-
tailed fifteen men to investigate the mat
ter and offered reward of $500 for the
apprehension of the throwers. No arrests
have been made.
1t Is stated that one of the tenants occu-
pied by the business college saw a boy
probably Is years old climbing down the
fire escape about the time the incident
occurred. This leads to the belief that
the occurrence was the prank of an
over enthusiastic youth.
The college dismissed its pupils at 4
O'Clock, and the place was deserted by tho
time Chief Badenoch's men arrived on the
scene. The matter will be fully investi-
gated tomorrow. The rumor was wide
spread during the afternoon that one of
the eggs had fallen in Mrs. Bryan's lap.
This is without foundation, and was prob
ably started by some persons who saw a
Il l.
nominee at the time the eggs were being
thrown
