A LONG INSIDE PASSAGE.
Navigating the Ocean Among Thousands
 of Islands.

Navigating the Ocean Among Thousands
 of Islands.
 Whatever may Do said--and much can be--of the beauties of the Alaskan coast, it is not inviting to the aeafaring man, and especially the master who is taking a ship by the inside route from Puget sound to Sitka or Juneau for the first time, feat, so it is claimed. impossi- ble of accomplishment by a continuous voyage save through the assistance of a good pilot. This passageway-fo formed by the mainland coasts of British pS lumbia and Alaska and chain or ls- lands ranging in length from to 250 miles--is from 100 yards to several miles in width. The channels proper are of unusual depth. In places from 300 to 400 fathoms of water are fre- quently found. From the smooth, glassy surface lodges and reefs, assassins of the sea, turk. ready to send some ship, humanity laden, to the bottom. In these waters the lead is supplanted by whistle echoes from the land, this being the only method during fog by which the captain or pilot guides his vessel along a safe way.
 Old sea captains say there is no wa ter course in the world where in unfa- vorable weather such skill is required as to guide ship via tho channels on a voyage from the sound and return, the ronnd trip to Sitka being more than half the distance of the voyage across the Atlantic. The Pacific Coast Steam ship company's 8 vessels running to Alas ka arc always manned with two pilots each in the winter aud spring and arc never without one pilot. With at least two of this oorapany's vessels now run ming to Alaska the captains themselves served all apprenticeship of many years at piloting.
 The outside passage, tho one by the open ocean, is seldom used, on account of the unfavorable winds which prevail for distance of over 90 miles out to sea, rendering vessels progress much slower, to say nothing of the danger of ships being caught in gale and driven ashore With the danger from wreck almost eliminated by the employment of professional pilots, the inside passage is rendered q most delightful voyage, as 1t abounds in beautiful scenery and is free from winds Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer.

HE LOST A FORTUNE
Or, "There Are Moments When One Want,
 to Be Alone."

Or, aThere Arc Moments When One wants
 to Be Alone."
 A middle sized man, with gray mustaehe and red tic hitched up on his collar, walked through tho restau- rant, nodding to aequaintanees here and there AS he stopped at the cashiers desk man who was seated at table noticed him, and, leaning across to his vis-a-vis, said, "Captain S., United States postal inspector and grand official catcher of green goods men. '
 "YesY' with interest from the man across the table
 .tSure. have always regarded him with peculiar affection. He came very near making me rich man once--in fact, almost made wealthy citizen of me-so well to do that l would never have had to work again. '
 "How was that?" with a shade of incredulity.
 'sThis way: About a year ago the captain superintended grand hau. Of green goods men. The firm which he raided was the largest, perhaps. in the country and had unlimited capital. They had packages of good money to catch suckers with. and this money, amounting to over sl50, 1000, was cap tured and placed in big satchel by the captain. called on him for details of the story that afternoon. He wes alone in the office. There were three of us-- the captain, myself and the satchel. He opened the satchel and showed me wealth beyond my widest dreams. hated to leave the beautiful vision y
 And the narrator sighed deeply.
 Well, said his friend, "I don't see how that was anything like making you a rich man.
 "You don't? We'll, let me tell you this: If the captain had turned his back for just six seconds I would have been rich man immediately. But he never turned, and I had to go away again as poor as when l came. 7

ROTH'S GREAT RIDE.
THE CHICAGO wHeELMAN RODE 34,-
 3so MILES IN 1896.

He Made a.0o0 Miles In One Month. Also
 140 Centuries. of Which 32 Were Dou-
 ble Centuries-He Followed the Good Weather.
 The years bicycle mileage record medal will no doubt be awarded to B. N. Roth of the Clarendon Wheelmen of Chicago, who on New Years eve, in a driving rainstorm, completed one of the greatest year's rides of history---a ride that will stand unchallenged for many years to come
 Roth rode 84, 3S0 miles ill $40 days, an average of over 101 miles each day for the entire time. He travelled over a dozen states in making this ride and followed the good weather throughout the country.
 He started Jan. 25 and finished Dec. 31 at midnight In this time he rode 146 centuries all told, of which number 32 were double, or 200 miles, and one a triple century, 300 miles in 22 hours.
 His greatest month s mileage was 4,000 miles and over. He did not know today the exact distance.
 His claims to the Century Road club call for the following:
 The individual mileage medal of America
 The Illinois state mileage medal.
 The century record of several states.
 The 900 mile record of "A hours and 55 minutes
 The 300 mile record of 22 hours flat.
 The 24 hour record of 800 miles, with many others.
 The claims have to Do sent on by ex. press, owing to their volume.
 Roth has ridden orc wheel the entire season, with but one accident--a broken rim He has ridden but two sets of tires. wearing one out on railroad tracks. He had one puneture just before he reached the 10, 900 mile mark, for which mark he was striving without punctur- ing
 His wheel weighed 25 pounds, the tires weighing five pounds. He uses neither tobacco nor liquors and gained ten pounds in the season. The nearest competitor to Roth is O'Connor of the Chicago Cycling club, who has Is. 225 miles to his credit The old record for year was made by Hansen, the Rainmaker of Minneapolis, who made 2l, OPS miles in 1894.
 Roth rode in Texas, Colorado and in Illinois and all the neighboring states. There can be not the slightest doubt of the entire authenticity of the ride, owing to the applications being so very thorough.

woman's Happiness.

A New York newspaper, after careful investigation, fixes upon $25, 1000 year as the amount that is absolutely neces- sary to dress a fashionable woman in a satisfactory manner and make her hap py. The list of what she requires is not long, but the total cost runs to tho fig- ure named. The information is valua- ble It contains the secret of so much marital woe in this land which the courts are so often called on to settle St. Louis Republic.

Tab Trimmings.

Among trimmings square tabs are much affected. Revers and basQues are finished with them; the hems of dress skirts are battlemented. and outstanding tabs are attached to straight collars and wrist frills. Most of these tabs are about sh inches long and not more than 7 inches wide. They are detached as a rule and are secured to moderately wide band which slips inside the collar of the bodice. Sets of these decorations in white linen arc made for the neck and sleeves and when of this material narrow lace insertion is let in about a quarter of an inch from the edge of the tab. and for dressy wear Q tiny lace frlll is added, but tho plainer sets with the insertion alone is considered the most atyligh

Probable End of the FulIeritca.

A petition in insolvency has just been filed by the Adonai Shomo corporation of Petersham, Mass. This will probably mark the end of this religious assocation of the Fullerites, as they are called. Tho community has been settled in Peter sham for many years, and the members have gradually grown fewer until there are hardly enough left to carry on the place
 The Canary islands have a peculiar plant known tss tho fountain tree, which contains receptaclcs for the collection of rain. Several gallons of water are often found in one of these natural pitchers.

 In such a lengthy program, with so many participants, the GRAPHIC cannot well make invidious distinc- tions. or mention all of the young ladies who participated Tn the pro- gram; therefore, suffice it to say that each and all did well, and all shared equally the honors of the occasion.
 Special mention, however, is due Miss Rose Vickers, who, at the con- clusion of her violin solo, was forced to respond to an encore, which she did in very graceful manner, fayor- ing the audience with "Then You'll Remember Me" which was also loudly applauded.
 The vocal solo of Miss Hennie Altheimer also deserves special men tfon, since she, too, was forced to re- spond to an encore. Miss Altheimer is unquestionably endowed with rare el0eutionary talents and pos sesses 2 sweet and well modulated voice, which entitle her to high his- trionie honors She was graceful in her movements and perfectly at home on the stage. and her manner was especially pleasing to the audi ence and elieited long and loud ap piause.

 We also desire to extend our thanks to the pretty Miss Helen Lovelady, who, as aLiz," the Kids" sweetheart, represented the AdamsN ilson Printing Company. Her makeup was excellent, and so true was her representation that should Liz" of the New York Jour- nals Row of Flats dropped in at the opera house last evening, she would have readily recognized her prototype. The Yellow Kid and Liz were readily recognized by all the readers of the New York newspapers among the audience, and were heart fly applauded.
 The entertainment throughout was highly enjoyed by all present, and it is d matter of serious regret that the weather was SD bad as to prevent Il larger attendance. Other wise the house would have been crowded to it's fullest capacity.
 Ne congratulate the Ladies Aux Hilary of the Young Mems Christian Association and Mrs. Whitson upon the success of their very unique and pleasing entertainment.
