ProVisiona.

San Francisco. July 2S.-The throngs
about every shipping Office that has
even the remotest Alaskan relations
have by no means diminished. IL would
seem that the only circumstance which
prevents the wholesale depopulation of
San Francisco Is the limit to the trans
portation facilities. Not only strong
men, whose broad backs bronzed faces
and work worn hands tell OF previous
experience with the labor that literally
sweats the brow but clerks and pro-
fessional men and women in hundreds
are seeking for information or trans
portation to the land where nuggets are
to be had, they think. for the picking
up.
Every day sees some new scheme for
overcoming the difficulties in the way
of reaching the Klondike and the feet
of steamers and schooners pressed into
service is growing steadily. The latest
Of the Klondike transportation company
schemes is being engineered by Captain
Herman of the firm of Herman &
Mills. who has mapped out plan for
reaching the diggings by the middle of
September. He will charter a large
sailing vessel, and the party will con-
sist of 60 men. each Of whom viii take
one ton of provisions. No one will be
permitted to go unless he takes this
quantity.
Each one will be charged 1925 for the
trip, and Captain Herman thinks that
for this sum he can land them in Daw-
son City before Sept. 20. The ship Will
carry a large lighter. and a steam
launch viii be used to tow the lighter
from st. Michael to the Klondike
After reaching ST. Michael the cargo

turn TO San Francisco in the vessel, and

THE TAME FAwN.
An old Dame who Narrowly Escaped
with Her Life.

An Old Dame Who Narrowly Escaped
with Her Life.
Although it does not appreciate con-
fnement in a paddock, it is easy to
tame a fawn and it makes a delightful
pet until it attains TO years of indiscre-
ton, says the Badminton Magazine. A
tame roe used to follow the children
everywhere round the old castle of
Duntroon and even up the stairs and
into the rooms. One of his little play
fellows had been obliged TO give up his
room TO "a gentleman who had come to
stay there and the surprise of the guest
was unbounded when the head and
neck of roe protruded through his
half-open door. Dear mel" he said,
'game must be extremely plentiful in
these parts"
Yet, Just as a kitten would be the most
delightful of pets except for its un-
fortunate habit Of growing into a cat,
so a roe and especially buck, becomes
too much of a handful as a pet when it
grows up. Their beautiful little horns
are both sharp and dangerous and a
tame roebuck very nearly put an old
woman Off the road and into the Crinan
canal by its obtrusiye attentions. II
meant no harm; it really expected to
get a lump of rock salt, with which il
had usually been rewarded for lis
caresses, but the old dame did not ap-
preeiate its uncanny approaches and
narrowly escaped with her life.

San Francisco, July 2S.-In response
to a telegraphlc inquiry as TO whether
he could spare a fun company OF in
fantry for the establishment of a post
at Circle City. Alaska. for the protec-
ton Of American interests General
shafter. commanding the department Of
California, has notified Secretary Aiger
that a company could easily be organ
lied at 70 hours notice for service in
Alaska and asked for fun Instructions.
General Shafter is prepared for an
order to dispatch his company north
Immediately in order that it may reach
the Yukon before navigation closes. He
expressed the opinion that the company
would leave here in a special train for
Portland Or, and that 1t will probably
be Joined there by a company from the
department of the Columbia. The Off
GERS to accompany the company Will
be a major, surgeon. captain and two
lieutenants. all of whom have been Sc
lected from the volunteers.
Until final instructions arrive and the
matter has been finally settled officially
General Shafter declines to state what
company of his regiment has been
chosen or by whom il will be COM

JURORS NAY ATTEND CHURCH.
Religious observanees No Disqunlifi-
cntion in Murder TrInIs.

cation in Murder Trials.
The court of appeals, in Its recent de-
cision affirming Judgment convieting
Giuseppe Constantine of murder in the
first degree in killing Pietro Galiotti at
Utica. held, among other things, that
the fact that during the trial the jury.
In charge of officers, attended church,
where the sermon was upon the preva-
lence of crime, was insufficient to JUS
tify new trial, when it was shown that
the officers, as soon as they discovered
that anything might be said which
could prejudice the jury, at once left
the church with them, and that the
trial Judge thereupon stated TO thejury,
and at the close of the trial charged
them, that no opinion uttered by the
preacher should have the slightest
weight upon their minds in forming
their verdict. The evidence, says the
New York Times, showed that the MUIR
der was committed in an affray, and
that there was an interval of from half
a minute to two minutes for delibera-
ton while the defendant was threaten
ing the fatal act. The court held twas
not an error for the judge, in charging
the jury upon the question whether
there was sufficient time for such a de-
gree Of deliberation and premeditation
as would constitute the crime, TO illus
trate a minute of time by his watch.
The power conferred on the court of
appeals by sections sos and 542 of the
code of criminal procedure to order a
new trial in capital cases was not to
be exercised upon the mere appearance
of some error to which no exception
was taken, unless the substantial
rights of the accused could be seen to
have been affected by il.
