A Doctors Bill in Alaska.
From the Boston Journal.


Charles H. Metcalf, who returned from
the klondike last night brought news
concerning the welfare of DR. p. ]. B. LIE
Blanc, the Detroit physician who accom-
panied him to Alaska last January. Mr..
Metcalf says that when he left Dawson
City, last July, DIR. lie Blanc had a prac-
tice from which he received an income of
800 day. As the doctor had been in
the camp only six weeks, he was much en-
couraged at the prospect of doing a -four.
ishing business in the winter, when pneu-
monia, rheumatism and other diseases in
cident TO extreme cold weather usuallv
find many victims.
According to Mr.. Netcalf, the doctor
goes about his professional duties with a
case of medicine and surgical instruments
in one hand and a buck skin bag for gold
dust in the other. AS there is very lit
tie money in the camp, gold dust forms
the principal medium of exchange ana
each time the doctor calls upon a patient
he is given enough nuggets 10 nav the
bill. When Mr.. Metcalf left Dawson tbe
doctor had not had time to arrange n
schedule Of prices, but he thinks a tariff
sheet made uD as follows would not ha
far out of the way:
Ohe bottle of soothing syrup........S 3 90
Prescribing for frost-bltten ear. I so
Setting a broken leg .......... -. o25 M

1T is very difficult to get medicine and

Mr.. Metcaf, land doctors bills are. there.

very scarce. There is only one other
physician Of any standing in Dawson. DR.

AN EXPERIMENT IN SONG.
The Deacon Wanted PugiIist as
Leader of the Choir.

From the Detroit Free Press
There was a disturbance on the corner,
and, as usual, the crowd rushed thitber
TO see what was going on A young man
who had been well dressed prior to his en-
gagement with the bully Of the neighbor-
hood arose dirty and overheated, but with
dissatisfaction which victory brings shin
ing from his eountenance. 1t was a pop
ular victory. The people refrained from
calling the police, and the oombatants
walked away in opposite directions. The
conquercr had gone less than a block
when d soberly-garbed man touched him

You have not studied the question with
the breadth of mind which | always en-

very much handicapped in its usefulness
by the fact that the young women do not
always agree in their ideas of how music
should be Interpreted. They might make
up their little differences if the tenors and
basses did not take sides. The result Is a
highly undesirable condition of affairs and

the season Tonight.
Prof. Gentry's ponies and dogs delighted
two large audiences yesterday. Five thou
sand people saw the afternoon and night
performances Half of the crowd at the
matinee were children.
The front rows of seats all around the
big tent were filed with happy and ex-
pectant boys and girls. When the curtains
to the animal tent opened and the line of
sleek little horses cantered in, followed
By the two dozen or more barking CANNES
of all colors, kinds and sizes, there was
a shout from the tiers of seats that almost
drowned the trombone in the band.
Mr.. j. b. Austin, who has been with the
Gentrys ever since they have been coming
TO Savannah, is practically the man of the
show. In the obsence of Mr.. Gentry he
has been directing the performances. The
animals know him and obey him almost
as thoroughly as they do Gentry himself.
The performances, like those of the day
before, included the marching and maneu-
Vers by the ponies, the tricks by the dogs
and the riding and acting by the MONKEYS.

imals in moving pyramid After the
