A n RIDE.
Shooting the Rapids Of the Miles
Canyon In Alaska.

November Scribner's.
The canyon was named by the late Lieut..
Frederick Schwatka in honor Of Gen. Nelson
A.. Miles, who had been instrumental in send
ing him on his trip to the Yukon in 1883. The
river, which has been about 800 feet wide,
suddenly contracts TO about a tenth Of that
width, and, increasing its velocity to about
twenty miles an hour, rushes with terrific
force through a canyon with absolutely per-
pendicular walls a hundred feet high. The
canyon is only three-quarters of a mile long,
and at its lower end the river spreads out in
to a series OF rapids eliminating three miles
below in the White Horse. There are two
ways Of passing this canyon, one by portag-
ing over the hill on the east bank and the
other by boldly running through. We had
requiring four days and the other two min
utes. We three looked at each other in an
enquiring sort Of way. and then without a
word walked down to where the Nancy Hanks
was moored against the bank. All took their
places, kneeling and ia ing the bow, Nc
Connel in the stern, Mattern amidships and
/ forward. The oars were placed on board,
and each Of us used an ordinary canoe pad
die. / must confess that I never felt sicker
in my life than as We showed aWay from
all over so quickly that we hardly knew how
it happened. Barely missing the big rock
at the mouth of the canyon, the boat started
on Its wild ride. The walls seemed to fairly
fly past US, and after starting we heard a
cheer from the rocks above, but we did not
dare to look up. By frantic padding we
kept in the middle and from the canyon
walls. The sensation was akin to that OF
riding a bucking broncho. There was not a
dry spot on one Of us when we got through,
and the boat had taken on so much water
that she nearly foundered before we could
our minds, for Miles canyon. more than all
other things, is dreaded by Yukon travellers.

A severe attack of sciatic rheuma-
tism and lumbago, completely cured,
sounds like a marvellous story to those
acquainted with the eXcruciating pains
which accompany UGH diseases, and
the unsuccessful treatment many have
tried, but that such a cure was really
effected is witnessed by the following
sworn statement Of Mrs. Frank Houck,
of Hayes, Iowa:
TT was in the spring Of 1893 that 1
was first afflicted with rheumatic pains
in my left limb. 1 consulted physicians
of recognized ability, who succeeded
in relieving the pain for a time; but
in a little while the rheumatism re-
turned in a more violent form than
before. Again l sought the physicians
aid, and in my endeavors to find relief,
I tried several Of the most prominent
physicians in various cities in this
vicinity. Some of them succeeded in
allaying the pain for a short period.
but none gave permanent relief, though
I tried several.
"At last, IN the spring Of 1894. seiatic
rheumatism and lumbago in it's sever
est form set in and l was confined to
my bed continually, although previous
to this l a been very sick the major
part of the time. All remedies pre-
scribed did me little Or no good. At
last, at the solicitation of a friend.
who saw an article about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in one Of
u County papers, l decided to try
that remedy. as l thought 1t would
surely do me no harm, even though
it might not benefit me materially.
Il secured a half dozen boxes Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills direct and by
the time 1 had taken two boxes began
to experience relief. I continued the
use of this remedy as prescribed, and
when the six boxes were gone I was
fully convinced they were doing me a
great deal of good. l consider
myself entirely cured, and firmly be-
lieve I owe the marvellous results to
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. A great
many of my neighbors are now using
this wonderful remedy for various all
ments and all are being greatly bene-
flied by it's use. 1 began taking PM
Pills in the spring Of 1895 and the fol-
lowing August was entirely cured, so
that I ceased taking them"
~(Signed.) Mrs. Frank Houck.
To confirm the story beyond all
doubt, Mrs. Houck made the following
affidavit:

to have been a young man of high rank,

In his play closely followed Dumas
idea, that of The Mask" being a win
brother Of King Louis XIV. Mr.. Ro-
beftSOn who asSumes the dual role of
King Louis XIV. and his twin brother
CASTOR, is spoken of as an actor Of
unquestioned ability, possessing a fine
stage presence and manly bearing,
Mr.. Robertson has an excellent op-
portunity to display what versatility
he possesses in this play, as the two
characters are 50 totally different while
resembling each other in a certain way.
Miss Brandon Douglas is heralded as
a clever woman, with a good voice and
ability to depict the strongest emotions.
The supporting company is also well
recommended.
The incidental music of the play con-
sists of appropriate selections from
Mendelssohn, Gounod, Rubenstein and

son, and he probably improves his perform
ances as he gets easy and familiar with his
lines and his fellow actors. The student
does improve, but there are many of the
other class who become careless, and in

better than the others of the week, that per-
Torrance Is on salary day.
The surroundings and scenery and stage
settings have a great effect upon the audi
ence. and cover many an imperfection In ar
tistic delivery of the authors lines. Yet
the people have become so accustomed to the
qualification of the eye at the theater that
1t Is almost q certainty that IL the old-time
acting could be revived the present genera
ton of theater-goesrs would not encourage
1t for q moment.
Undoubtedly the modern methods ara rac-e
satisfactory to the audience. but how does
1t affect the actor? VIII there be in the fu-
ture any Booth, Forrest, McCulloch, Adams,
Herne. Mayo or Rankin? These were masters
of a great art, not alone actors, but instruct
ors. They achieved their fame only by the
hardest of work. In the "'old school, days
men and women Of the stage studied. re-
hearsed and played, often working eighteen
time for pleasure when the bill for the per-
formance at night called for a drama, a
farce and a Shakespearean tragedy, and for
the next night three entirely different
plays. Think of the difference between this
arduous work and the preparation Of one
single play of the present day. -Four weeks
are commonly allowed for rehearsal. Admit
that there is more attention to details in
the business of the play, is there so much
intelligence IN the reading Of the lines?
1t has been the writer's good fortune to be
associated with two rarely good actors, James
A. Herne and Mckee Rankin. These men
have both been through the old school studies
In all branches and departments. Both are
equally at home In tragedy and comedy both
can handle scenery, make properties, and
both are most excellent instructors. There
Is no male role In the plays Of either of these
author-actors which they cannot play them
selves, consequently they are able to instruct
the people whom they engage to play them.
As q result, their performances are always
nearer perfect than others, and. without
doubt, are enjoyed more thoroughly than
many now on the road. 1t was said last sum-
mer by one Of the Oldest and most respected
actors In the country that there were but
three actor-author instructors on the Amer
lean stage, Herne, Mayo and Rankin" Poor
Frank Mayo died only a few days afterwards,
but who does not remember with pleasue his
"Davy Crockett" and later his "Pudden'ed

There is no doubt that Mr.. Herne's 'aShore
Acres has pleased most, but his Hearts of

+. ID. O'Connor has thrown open to
his patrons a thoroughly I'D to date
puffet at AL Robert street, directly
across from the Hotel Ryan. Mr..
OConnor has by his business methods
attracted the better class of patronage
and his new hosiery bids fair to be-
come popular as a resort for gentlemen.
His long experience fits him peculiarly
IN the way of securing and handling
only the best sort Of merchandise
which he may serve to his customers
In the most magnificent and modern
place west Of Chicago. The buffet is
O complete throughout in equip
ment. The d~elicately tinted walls and
ce1lng are matched even to the wreath
and torch design by the elaborate gas
and electric fixtures especially designed
for this place by NJ. j. O'Neill, the
Sixth street plumber, and from which
giows a soft subdued light on the quiet
carpet and draperies. The plumbing Is
OF the most approved sanitary order,
the spacious lavatory being fitted with
marble, brass and nickel fittings on
black walnut. The heating and light
ing were also planned and put in by
Mr.. O'Nefll. The interior Is executed
I'm the Napoleonic style of the empire.
The symbolic emblems, the torch and
wreath, classic columns and carved
capitals appear in various forms of
ornamentation. The wood fittings,
which bear the stamp of the St. Paul
Furniture company, are of highly
finished black walnut, and reflect q
great measure of credit on this firm.
The woodwork is uniquely designed in
q chaste style of architecture, relieved
by very artistic hand carvings, and the
p~anelings, e~ntablatures, etc, are set
of by Greek, Egg and Dart mouldings.
The mirror frame over the serving
cabinet holds a glass of ample proper
tons, n reflects a beautiful piece Of
workmanship in the shape of a counter
top Of imported mahogany 80 feet in
length, in which there is never a single
joint. The wood for the wainscoting,
smoking and Office rooms shows excel
lent samples of the carver's art, while
the cigar and wine cases are elabo-
rately gotten up.
Great care has been taken to preserve
the harmonious effect, and the ensem-
BILE is at one elegant and pleasing to
the eye.
