BIG GOLD FIND.
Sixty-eight Passengers Arrive With
$7OO,O00.

sixty-eight Passengers Arrive With
$7OO,O0e.
Seattle, Wash, July IA special to
the Post Intelligencer from Port Town
send, Washington, says: At o'clock
this, Saturday, morning, steamship
St. Michaels, bound for Seattle Pass,
due in this sound, arrived with more
than a ton of solid gold on board and
sixty-eight passengers. In the cap
tain's cabin are three chests and a
large safe filled with the precious mug
gets. The metal is worth nearly $780,
900, and most of it was taken. out of
the ground in less than three months
last winter. In size, the nuggets range
from that of pea to a guinea egg
OF the sixty-eight miners aboard, hard
ly man has less than $1,000, and one
or two have more than 500, 900 in yell
low nuggets. One peculiar feature
noticed is that the big strikes were
made by ''Tenderfeet'' while old and
experienced miners have only a few
thousand dollars to show for their la
Dor. Instances are noted where sin
gle individuals have taken out in two
and half months, gold to the value
of over S150,000. Clarence Barry, of
Fresno, California, went to Yukon in
1890, prospected several years without
success. He returned home last autumn
and was married and took his bride to
Kleonyke last November. He is now
on the Portland with $4,000, the result
of a winters work. Frank Phiscator,
of Baetoda, Michigan, went to Kleon-
yke last autumn and is now returning
with $96,027. He has worked two
claims with nine men, three months,
and still owns the claims. He was
one of the original discoveries of the
district.

WEDDING INVITATIONS.
The Correct Form of the Day In
Fashionable Circles.

Wedding Invitations have greatly
changed in the past few months. The
fashionable wedding invitation is no
longer printed on the sheet of note
paper which folds to fit a square en-
velope, the sheet now used for that
purpose being ca inches long and 5H
wide, thereby requiring an oblong en-
velope. The paper has smooth, dull
finish, like parchment, Instead of the
former glazed surface. The script on
the new invitations is about the same
size as that on the old ones, and the
words and lines are brought rather
nearer together, so that the wording
occupies the center of the sheet, with
wide margins about it, while some peo-
pie even use what is termed the para
graph form, in which the words run
straight along, instead of being ar
ranged in lines of varying lengths, and
the result is quite good.
The wording of wedding invitation,
by the way, does not always receive the
attention which it should. For a
church wedding the parents of the
bride request the ''honor of your pres
ence," whereas for a home wedding
the pleasure of your company" is
asked. Then, again, for home we'd
ding, the name of the guest is often
inserted, such as Mr.. and Mrs. William
Tompkins request the pleasure of
company at the marriage
of their daughter. OF course, as this
latter form more closely resembles
personal invitation, 1t is more Of
compliment to the guest At very
stylish wedding recently the parents
of the bride simply requested the hon
or Of your presence at the marriage Of
their daughter at Grace church." her
name being omitted entirely, though
the calling cards Of both bride and
groom were inclosed-
The invitation to the wedding break
fast or reception is about the same as
those of last year, save that the cards
are trihe more oblong. The wedding
announcement is printed on the same
kind Of note paper as the wedding in
vitation, the simple card no longer be-
ing considered good form, though If it
is used it should be oblong and about
50 inches wide, and 3A inches from
top to bottom.-San Francisco Chron-
