STAMPEDEDACON
Alaska Miner Celebrated
Kinley's Election in a
Novel Manner.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. g..
The Alaska steamer Willap
which arrived to-day from Jun
neau, brings the details of a
drunken miners raid upon St.
-Anne's Convent of that place.
He brandished a large hunting
knife and at the point Of a re-
volver drove the Sisters of
Charity, several nuns and 100
children out Of doors. The1
miner arrived at Juneau a week
ago Thursday. He had made
a rich strike of gold at Circle
City, and being an ardent Nc,
Kinley man he spent his earn
ings freely on learning that his
favorite had won. He contin-
ued the spree until Friday
noon, when he staggered up
the principal street past St.
Anne's Convent. A man who
knew him facetiously suggest
ed that he betake himself to
the convent to sober up H&
suited his action to his friends
words, and reeled through the
: front door without waiting fof
} it to be opened. The music
room was occupied by children
who were being instructed BY
/ the Sisters of Charity.
E The drunken man stamped
> upon the floor with his hob
4 nailed boots, brandishing q
# Colts revolver and a steel
D hunting knife. Then he swore
: and said he had come to take
y his lesson, and began shooting
d into the ceiling. The childrena
{ screaming, ran pell nell from
n the room, followed by their
g guardians. Other nuns and
d sisters came running to the
" scene, only to join in the pan
Il demonium on confronting the
e lmountaineer, who kept shoot
IS ing and shouting for Mckinley
y and Hobart. When all the
ot children and women had fed
I. and the town of Juneau had
e turned out to their rescue, the
o miner submitted quietly to ar
Y, rest. He said his name was
ct Edward B. Smith. In accor
n dance with an established Gus
IS tom, he was given twenty-four
hours to leave Juneau, and last
Of Saturday morning left for the

WHAT THE GERMAN
LLOYDS SAY

49, = - - - -
New York, Dec. 9.-Regard
ing the proclamation of Pres
ident Cleveland reimposing the
tonnage dues and other ship
ping United States a represen
tative of the German Lloyd
steamship company said today:
The proposed change would
cost our company about $1,000
annually for each vessel sailing
from Bremen to New York. 1t
might mean a total outlay Of
$4,000 q year. Some Of our
ships, now building, having a
greater tonnage, would prob
ably cost the company still
more. I can not say how such
a change wouid affect rates, but
the extra expense will have to
be borne by somebody. I can
see no reason for the change
concerning which-we have heard
nothing"

Prince Bismarck Is great pipe col
lector, and the gem of his collection has
q curious history. Many years ago, as
Bismarck was strolling in the suburbs
of Fricderichsruh with his two hounds,
he was accosted by Bohemian peddle1
and asked to buy plain mecrschaun
pipe of the type that Bismarck most af-
fected. At first Bismarck declined, bus
the peddler claimed for the pipe power
of forecast and told him he would serve
three emperors as minister, and that
three important changes in his life
would be foretold by accidents Detailing
the pipe.
Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe
He has since served three emperors
Two days before the historic moment
when he was refused an audience the
stem of his pipe separated and went to
pieces Later he Clipped piece from
the side of the bowl, and within a
month he was practically dismissed by
the present emperor. The third sign has
yet to come. Berlin Correspondent.

There are about 200 different styles
of forceps made for dentists use, vary
ing in the sizes and forms of the beaks
and in the shapes of the handles. A
dozen pairs of forceps would probably
fill all the requirements of single
dentist, but another dentist, though he
might use ON the same tooth forceps
with the same size and style of beaks
might prefer a pair with different
grip to the handles, and forceps are
made not only to suit every need in
