LIFE IN DA AWSON CITY.
PLENTY OF EXCITEMENT THERE
Everywhere A Horse That Ran Away
with $4,000 Worth of Gold Dust.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The correspondent
of the Record sends the following inter
esting description of life in Dawson
City:
Stampedes TO new creeks or gulches
are of semi-tlaily occurrence. Hardly
an evening has passed during the last
ten days when there has not been from
two to three ruSheS, or rather STAN
pedes, off to newly discovered dig
pings. Over 200 men lefta day or two
ago for Eureka creek. one of the tribu-
taries of Indian river. II distance of
sevcnty-hve miles, through pathless
tract of wild. mountainous country.
To create a rush of this character all
that is necessary is for n whisper to
be overheard. the exhibition of half
an ounce Of coarse gold and n hint as
to where it came from. In half an
hour from ten to 100 men will be
strung out along the trail in the direc-
tion Indicated. Some of them are in
such haste as not to take along blank
cts or food, though the distance is
from thirty to fifty miles.
A few nights ago some one came in
and reported Il gold strike on Montana
creek. Il little stream entering the Yu-
kon on the east side. The night was
miseribly dark and stormy and Il light

new arrivals, We're wildly excited and
flew off toward the creek. Some went
in boats and poled up against the
strong current, and others crossed over
the mountain and two or three gulches.
The first arrivals built fires, and with
torches measured 800 feet and planted
their stakes. Frank Slavin. the we'll

and people continued to arrive by the

dark, and candles are used. The men
work in their shirt sleeves while down
in the drifts and do not feel the cold.

caustic way he has of speaking OF
those he opposes in public life through
his paper"
Mr.. Dana is an exceedingly learned
man. He has spent much time in
travel and is a keen observer. Several
languages are as his native tongue to
him. Not long ago he was reported to
be amusing himself learning the Dan
ish language. AT his summer residence
he devotes great deal of attention to
gardening, and his love OF flowers Is
marked
Mr.. Dana was born at Hinsdale, New
Hampshire. on August s. 1919, and
entered Harvard College twelve
years later. In 1912 he became men,
boz of Brook Farm community, in Rox-
bury. Mass. and remained there until
1874. He edited, in connection with
George Ripley, Parke Goodwin and
John S. Dwight. the Harbinger. a
weekly journal devoted to social re-
form and general literature, 1S44-47. In
1S47 he became connected with the New
York Tribune, and was for thirteen
years managing editor. until the spring
of 1862 In 1855 he projected Apple
toms American Cyclopaedia," in six
teen volumes, and in conjunction with
Mr. George Ripley, was its responsible
editor to it's completion in 1863 as
also, OF the revised edition. 1S73-77
The Household Book of Poetry was
compiled and published by him in 1858
and revised and enlarged in 1882 From
1862 to 1865 he was in the government
service, during the last two years as
assistant secretary of war. About the
beginning of 1866 he became editor of
the Chicago Republican. now the Inter
Ocean. In 1868 he went to the New
York Sun.
And Mr. Dana has made it one of
the best written and most interesting
papers in North America. The Sun
had its 'fads," but those who disliked
them found plenty else in the paper
of interest and merit.

Th,. Seasons Florida Orange Crop.


Florida's orange crop for 1S97-9S will
soon be going forward to market, and
a good many estimates are being made
as to what the crop in the state will
figure up. Last season 1t amounted to
about 125.000 boxes That was the first
years fruit after the freeze. and the
crop was accordingly very small, espe-
cialiy when it Is recollected that the
product of the state had been number
ed in millions rather than in thousands
of boxes. A careful estimate made by
a gentleman in the city, who is well
informed as to the crop throughout the
state, places it in round numbers at
about 200, 900 boxes. 1t is believed that
these figures are conservative, and that
the crop will go above rather than be-
low the figures named.-Florida Times

RISkED HIS LIFE,
Heroism of Ex-senator Tabor-Now a
Hnmeless BankEupt.


Those were days of thrilling deeds,
daring adventures, splendid heroism
and brutal treachery. says Leslie's
Weekly. Once the free soilers were be-
leaguered at Lawrence by an over
whelming force of marauders from
across the river. with battle, murder
and sudden death in their eyes. A few
miles away force of United StAtes
troops lay encamped, but the Mis-
sourians had drawn their lines so tight
ly that it was as much as free SOIL
er's life was worth to try to reach
them. Was there a man In Lawrence
brave enough to take the risk? The
besiegers rarely threw away a cart
ridge; their aim was sure, their fin
gers quick on the trigger. Yet, as night
fell and the people thought Of what
the morning might bring. Vermont
boy said he would take his chances.
The swiftest and strongest horse in
the place was saddled; the boy gripped
him with his knees, swung his whip
in his hand, and, commenting his old
father to his friends IL he fell, dashed
out into the dark. Lawrence listened
to the clatter of his horses hoofs. to
the steady gallop into which the anil
malls pace settled down. to the crack
of an outpost rifle, followed by vol
ley not aimed at the rider. for they
could not see him, but at the sound ~
his furious rush; and then the firing
died out, and Lawrence knew from tho
faint reverberation of the distant hoof
beats that the daring rider had gU
through the lines and that the city was
saved. The young mans name was II
A. W. Tabor. and he lived to be
United States senator from Colorado
for brief term. Many years ago be
told me the story in confidence, I
think I am justified in breaking faith.
now that the old man is a broken,
houseless bankrupt, who, at this time,
sorely needs a friend.

A novel proposition was made not long
ago to the Receivers of the baltimore Il
Ohio Railrond. The B. a o has branch
running from what is known as Alexandria
Junction, near Washington, to Shepherds
on the Potomac River, where car ferry
is operated in connection with the lines
leading south from the Capitol. A pro-
fessor of an eastern college desired to lease
this short stretch of track for the purpose
OF educating young men in practical rail-
road work. In his letter he explained that
he thought there n wide field for bright
and energetic boys who could be thorough
ly we'll grounded in the practical side OF
rnilronding, provided they could be edu-
Gated on n regular line OF road. He be-
lieved that by the employment of veteran
railroad men us teachers that the boys
could proHtnbly spend or years work
ing as trainmen ,iiremen ngineers, switch
men, station agents, and in other capaci-
ties required in tho railroad service. As
this branch of the b. & o. is of considera-
bic value the Receivers were compelled to
decline the offer
