GOLD FEVER STRIKES N. Y.
Parties of Well to Do People Organ
izing Alaskan Expeditions.

New York, July 22.-The World says:
The Klondyke gold fever has reached
this city. At all the ticket agencies
and railroad offices inquiries are being
made about rates.
What will it cost to send my son to
the new gold f1eldS?" a well dressed
woman inquired of c. E. Lambert, the
general passenger agent of the West
Shore railroad.
Mr. Lambert gave her the figures and
she promised TO return.
''She is only one of a dozen who have
been to see us this week." said Mr..
Lambert.
The first expedition from this city for
the Yukon gold fields will leave early
this week All the details have been
arranged at the office of former Judge
George NJ. Curtis.
The party is to comprise w. H. Ed
wards, a young lawyer in Mr.. Curtis
office, a son of Billy Edwards of the
Hoffman House; John w. Edwards, a
Brooklyn pharmacist; DR.. James w.
Bristol of Brooklyn and Charles Edel-
man, a civil and mining engineer of
this city.
In addition to scientific and CASTRO
nomical supplies furnished pro rata,
each man will put 81 $50 into a common
fund. Every detail has been carefully
arranged, and all that remains to be
done is to engage passage on the Pacific
coast steamship Queen, which will sail
from San Francisco August Z.
Speaking to a reporter, one of the
members of the party said: There is
one III FAVOR the YukOn dis
trict and that is the abundant supply
of fresh fish. We will have plenty of
fishing tacke1 and every article neces-
sary to establ a comfortable home
DR.. Edwards will look after our physi-
cal welfare. DR.. Clark, too, is a pharm-
aciSt, and he can compound the doctors
prescriptions. We will have the best
equipment experience can suggest and
we shall be we'll supplied with weapons
to use in self-defense if necessary
DR.. Edwards, who has visited Alaska
has prepared a list of meats and sac
charine and farinaceous food products.
together with fresh and dried fruits and
pickles. To this will be added tea cof-
fee, chocolate, spices, etc, and the sup
ply is based on a total of 40 ounces of
food for each man daily.
This amount" said Dr. Edwards
may be reasonably assured as the
quantity necessary to the maintenance
of a mans perfect health in latitude
such as the Yukon. We intend to take
along good supply of spirituous liq-
ors, as they will be of great value there
During the long dark night in the
winter we will amuse ourselves with
cards, chess, checkers, backgammon
and other popular indoor games and If
we want a little music we will use our
banjoS and mandoiins. And last but
not least, we will have kodaks to en-
able US to furnish friends at home with
scenes of the gold f1elds.''
Each of the party is in excellent spir-
its and confident of success

chartered a steamer and are arrang-
ing an expedition which will sail from

UNCLE SANS CADS.
West Point Goldfish military Artistic
Gratis e'Ostracize" a Lieutenant

New York, July 22.-The pretty young
wife whom Lieutenant Lang married on
his graduation day, and for doing
which he was ostracized, has left him.
but he hopes for a reconcilia ton.
When seen at his quarters at Fort
Schuyler he admitted that she had
gone to the home of her parents on ac-
count of little unpleaSantnesS. Her
health he said, "has been such that
she has not been able to attend properly
to her social and household duties, but
will return to me again.
Marie Kenkle was the brides name.
Her father was William Kenkle, COM
missary sergeant now stationed a. Fort
Warren, Mass.
Lieutenant Lang was a student at the
state normal school at New PaIz, N. Y.
when his commandant learned he had
fallen in love with a daughter of SUBJ
ordinate.
All the methods of social persecution
so well known at a military post were
brought to bear against the couple and
none of the officers, instructors or class
mates attended the wedding. Even the
best man backed out at the last mo-
ment.
The persecution did not end with the
wedding. The couple were barred from
the society to which the young man
ried "in his own rank" A child was
born to them at Fort Warren, but none
of Lieutenant Lang's comrades called
to congratulate them. Official investi-
cations were started, but he resolutely
refused to accuse anyone. His health
broke down under the strain and now
the cause of the ostracism has left him.

TO REGULATE VICE.
Cantonments Act is Repealed by the
Indian Government

Sim1a, July 22.-The vice regal council
today adopted the bill introduced by
Mr.. Chalmers on July 2, repeating the
environments act of 1895 which it said
had repealed a similar act of 1889.
The object of this action is to restore
to the governor general in council pow
er TO make rules for checking the
spread of certain conta gious diseases in
cantonments and to give him the same
control in respect of these diseases that
he has in the case of other contagious
and infectious disorders. The effect of
the bill is to unite the hands of the
government.
The Hon. w. Mackworth Young lieu
tenant governor of the Punjab, in the
course of the debate on Mr.. Chalmers
bill said that the repeal of the canton
ments act of 1889 had proved very dis
astrous to the British troops in India.
Experience had shown that it was not
within the power of the legislature to
raise the standard of morality.

SILVER GOES DOWN.
European Holders of the White
Metal Have Weakened.

New York, July 22.-The Herald says:
Bar silver has declined to the lowest price
in two years and private dispatches from
abroad received in Wall street are TIC the
effect that the holders of the white metal
have weakened Some of the bullion
brokers assume that this means thai the
silver pool which was formed abroad
more than year ago, was liquidating its
holdings.
Other brokers were of the opinion that
the holdings of the pool had been li1ui-
dated some time ago and that the less
ened demand for silver in the east
through the adoption of the gold standard
by Japan, among other reasons was re-
sponsible for the decline. Outsiders gen
orally called attention to the fact that the
recession in price came simultaneously
with the announcement of the great gold
discovery in the sKlondyke region.

GOLD HUNTERS ROMANCE.
Owner of an Alaskan Townsite Ena-
bled to Marry an Old Sweetheart

New York, July PA special to the
World from Plattsburg, N. Y, says:
Joseph Ladue, owner of the town site
of Dawson, Alaska, is now on the way
to his former home at Schuyler Falls,
Clinton county, New York, to be mar
ried to Miss Mason.
1t is said that Ladue and Miss Ma
son were to have been married long ago
but Miss Mason's parents opposed the
match because Ladue- was too poor
Ladue went to the Black Hills in search
of gold. He was quite successful but
before coming east to claim his bride,
he went into a speculation at DeadWOod
and lost every dollar.
Ladue wrote to Miss Mason of his mis-
fortune, and soon after went to Alaska.
He did not return home until two years
ago, and then ii was settled upon his
return from another trip to the Alaska
field they would be married.
AS Ladue is said to be a millionaire
the parents of the bride will offer OBJ
jections to the union, and it is proba BILE
that Mr.. and Mrs. Ladue will spend
their honeymoon on their way to the
gold fields, where they intend to live
for at least three years.
1t is believed that the ceremony will
be performed some day next week al
Schuyler Falls.

DIAMOND DEALERS GIvEUP
Say They Can't Compete With the
Emuerlers

New York, July 22-The World says:
Ihe announcement is made in Maiden
Lane that the big diamond firm of
Neresheimer & Co. of this city will re-
tire from business January 1 next. Sim
liar announcements have been made by
I. NJ. Bruhel and Freund & Co. About
20 firms of similar standing have either
already retired or intend to do so.
E. August Neresheimer, senior part
ner of Neresheimer & Co. said to a re-
porter that the ans representing about
$6,00O.00O had been forced out of the dia-
mOnd business by smugglers.
In 1885," said he, 1.-The duty on dia-
mondS was advanced from 10 to 20 per
cent. The imports at that time amount
ed to Sl3 600 yearly. Since then they
have fallen off to 81, 500, 600. In those
four years diamond smuggling reached
enormous proportions. 1t is not unus-
ual for diamonds to be bought in Eng
land and sold in New York at an adj
vance of only per cent on the purchase
money. We know when large sale of
gems is made in Europe, and if the
diamonds appear on the market here
at a price that would mean loss had
they gone through the custom house,
we know they have been smuggled.
1T is not the fault of the custom Of
ficers. The smugglers have become so
expert that detection is almost impoSSi-
BILE. The firms that have been doing le-
climate trading are the sufferers. BY
making terms with the smugglers we
might continue in business, but firms
that will not do this are slowly but
surely giving up the fight, and it looks
as though there will be in a short time
no legitimate diamond trade"
Special Agent Cross of the treasury
department said:
THE agents early this spring recon-
mended that the former duty of 10 per
cent on diamonds be restored and under
the Dingley bill we believe smuggling
will be greatly reduced. 1t is fact that
honest importers have been almost
driven out of the business by SNUG
glers, who, by saving the % per cent
duty, were conlpensa ted for risking the
detection.
1T is almost impossible to prevent
diamond smuggling unless the officials
are warned against certain individuals.
Inspectors must have positive informa-
ton before forcing a passenger to be
searched.
"The profit when the duty is only 10
per cent is hardly great enough for a
man to risk state prison.

BAKING IN A PIE.
The Four and Twenty Blackbirds in a
Gigantic Pie.

The suggestion made by The Journal
that floats be provided for the children in
Cinderella in the float parade has met
with unanimous endorsement. One of the
suggestions made to this paper is that one
float represent an immense pie and that
the four an twenty b1ackbirds who take
part in the cinderella" performance be
shown emerging from the pie. The addi-
tional suggestion is made that the child
ren's costumes be provided with small
black wings to help out the effect.
The conceit is a novel one and is offered
to those who may organize this feature
of the parade.

DECOMPOSED BODY FOUND.
Remains of Man Wrapped in Wire
Under Chicago Walk.

Chicago, July 22.-Under a wooden
walk at Grand and KenZie avenues, a
desolate spot, lying in a mass of woods
and rubbish, the decomposed body of
man was found yesterday evening. AL
most covering and loosely wrapped
around the lower limbs was a quantity
of rusted barbed wire, which the po-
lice think must have been placed there
by persons implicated in the mans
death.
The condition of the body will render
a post mortem necessary to determine
the cause of death. There were no
means of Identification but the body
was evidently that of a man well to do.
