 To be entirely certain of the populari- ty of ribbon, one need only watch the hordes of women standing before rib bon counters, some matching materials, others their complexion. Even that proof is not necessary to the woman who watches the shoppers. Most of the neclSs are pretty sure to have ribbon bands about them, not to mention hat and dress trimmings.

Something Lilxo an Oid- Time Min ing Fever on tho Pacific Coast
The Hardships of Chilkat Pass-A "Cut Raten War Is Flooding Alaska with Destitute Men-Some
 Dramatic Successes.
TcoPYRraHT. 1896.


 When, 30 years ago, Secretary Sc. ward added to the United States by puI- chase a region extending about 1,5o0 miles northwest and southeast and. at its widest point but little less than that distance from northeast to southwest, there were many who thought the worthy secretary had been buying a tyellow dog" But every dog has it's day; Alaska is having her day now, and the yellowness of Stewards purchase is the color in it's placers, from which between $3, 100000 and $4, ,000, ,000 ill gold vas extracted last year, and whose es- tiInated yield for 1896 is in the neighbor- hood of S6,ooo. .oo0 For the rush thither is on, and something like all oldtime mining fever is felt even at this dis tance from the vast new northwest.
 The Alaskan fever manifests itself ir the usual way, by the crazy setting forth of inexperienced and ill~equipped men, with consequent suffering and hardship; and it is heightened, like every other gold fever, by the fact that less is said about these hardships than about the occasional lucky strikes of in diyiduals. The most incredible tales about the new I2l Dorado were spread broadcast last winter and in the early spring by the agents of the steamship companies, which further evinced their interest in the new fields by making d "cut rate" of SIP on tirst-elass tickets from Seattle or Tacoma 10 Juneau, the point of debarlSation for the Ghilkat pass.
 At this rate, it is no wonder thas many inexperienced men, without much money left after buying their tickets, were driven by lack of work into put ting out for new fields. Prof, George F. Becker. of the United States geo. logic survey, who is preparing an elab-

thousand miles of boating 1t is big country and a rich one. If I have seemed to dwell too much upon the hardships of the trip, it is because there are plenty of people who can be trusted to flash the glitter of the gold in the eyes of the seekers And there is gold in Alaska; plenty of it. The Treadway company has the largest stamp mill in the world and makes money out of low grade ore, as is the case in the Kaffir mines. The rich placers will be better working for when it is made easier and cheaper 10 get to them, and when sup plies become less expensive. Winter mining can be prosecuted either by thawing tunnel with wood fires or by blasting or qHarrying the frozen gravel in blocks. In each case the washing out must be deferred until spring. Alaska is a wonderful country, but it needs capital, roads, time and, above all, a government.
 If the people in Washington were alive to the importance of Alaska We should have government roads to the Yukon headquarters; then the boundary ques- ton would have to be set. It is very simple, hardly question at all. Circle City is clearly American. Ger tain of the plaeers farther up the Yukon are as clearly British. The eastern boun- diary of the main portion of Alaska, the Hist parallel, is an easly-draWn frontier if not a scientific one. The questioned boupde-.s $ from Mount St. Elias southward to this panhandle strip, the United States claims-or should claim if il cared enough about it to do so-that "a line parallel to the winding of the coast, and which shall never exceed the distance of ten marine leagues (3o miles, therefrom" means just what it says. The canny Canadians claim that when the Russo-British treaty of 1924 and the Russian-United States treaty of 1867 said .eoast" they didn't mean "eoast" at all, but outer line of the islands" Then why didn't they say so2 The Canadian claim has absolutely no strength or hope of sue cess except in the negligence of con- gress.
 In any case, some 800 or GOO miles of the way from Juneau to Circle City lies through British territory.

Now doth the summer girls fancy lightly turn to thoughts of bathing suits. Not that they always perform that function, for many bathing suit is not warranted to wash," and it's wearer knows it when she plans the garment. But she intends to put no more than her "Trilbies" beneath the wave. Therefore her gown may be of gorgeous unwashable scarlet or green, trimmed with gold or silver passemen- terie. Silk IS the material most often used in the construction of these gar ments. and the handsomest ribbons trim them.
 The athletic girl esehews all unnee- essary fxings for her bathing gown, choosing one which will be serviceable in deep-water swimming. A black or dark blue mohair is selected. The suit is made with rather full knickerbock- CTS and blouse. all in one, and q short skirt, with buttons to the belt. If you have ever watched girl take off her skirt in the water while swimming alongside of rowboat you can appre- ciate the advantage of having a suit constructed in the way mentioned.
 The blouse may open rather low, to reveal white silk vest; and the sailor collars may be of the silk. Sleeves should be squatty puffs, and the belt adorned with bow of white ribbon.
 Shoes will again be worn. The GUS tom of displaying the feet did not meet with the expected enthusiasm, and the girls are once more glad to get into shapely slippers. TIE LATEST.

The keynote of the season is trans pareney. Itis q quality of every material used in the makeup of gowns. But to prevent the season from being lop-sided, the proper average is attained by the use of very coarse crash for outing dresses-crash as coarse as that pos sessed by the most modest of kitchens.

 Another peculiarity of these jackets is the sham vests which usually pro trude from each side of the front, and

 Next in favor is the plain taffeta rib bon, of any light shade. Corn color soils not so easily as white, and yet It has most effective appearance.
 Dresden ribbons are still somewhat used, but their popularity is declining rapidly. They are now little used for neck ribbons, butappear almost entire ly inthe trimming of gowns and hats.
 Net for effect and beauty there IS nothing which combines so well with organdie as the Dresden ribbon. It is used entirely for waist ribbons, with large bow in the back. These bows have long loops, and the effect of the entire thing should be long and mar row. Many of the bows extend half way up the back.
 Iii decided contrast is a belt ribbon which encircles the waist at the back, wends it way up each side the front and meets at the bust line under adl iIn- mense bow which spreads there, almost concealfng the bodice front. Other bows perch on the shoulders, fall in cas- eades from the neck. nestle in lounee tops, and, in fact, wherever there is 3 spot large enough to hold them.

 ford After Quarrel
 Hartford, Sept. 2s.-Ollie Robinson, twenty-six years old, committed sui eide in her rooms, 547 Main street, shortly after 10 o'clock last night. She took a drachm of strychnine and lived about twenty minutes after taking the fatal dose. The cause of her deed, as stated by Sarah Palmer, who occupied adjoining rooms, was despondency from a quarrel which she had with a man she had known for three years.
 The Robinson woman came here from Waterbury three or four years ago. Her home is in Springfield. She had been planning suicide some time, as she bought the poison at o'clock Sat- urday morning.

SECOND ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.

Calvin Baxter Tries to Kill Himself by
 Shooting-Mental Derangement Pro-
 duced by Sunstroke the Cause.
 Calvin Baxter, who lives at the cor ner of Mechanic and Hill streets, West vile, attempted to take his life by shooting yesterday, this being the sec ond time he has attempted suicide in five weeks.
 The. weapon used was revolver, and the ball glanced along the skull and did not enter the head so that the would-be suicide was able to cut the ball out himself with his knife. Baxter is over sixty years old, and hale and hearty.
 Last July he was overcome by the heat while at work in his garden, and his mind has been slightly affected eyer since, and it is probable that his two attempts at suicide are traceable to this mental derangement. The first at tempt was made five weeks ago, when he swallowed two ounces of poison Patrolmen Willoughby, Welch, Frey and Grecore were sent and placed Bax- ter under arrest.
