SHAW COM MlTTEI.
Held For tho Murder of His Mother and
 Grandmother.

Camden. N. J., Oct. 19.-Eli Shaw, ac- cused of the murder of his mother and grandmother, had a most exciting day. and the city last night was rent with excitement. Shaw is in the county jail, having been committed without hear ing. Prosecutor Jenkins says the young man shall have no hearing unless he court orders one.
 An interesting figure in the Shaw Zane murder mystery is the sweetheart of Eli Shaw, son of one of the women and grandson of the other, whom he Is accused of slaughtering. Despite the blackness of the crime charged against the young man and despite the fact that the police of Camden and large number of the population of Camden believe him guilty, Mabel Nelson, the girl he was to have married, stands ready to sacrifice her fortune to help him establish his innocence.
 Mabel Nelson Is worth $10,000 in her own right, an inheritance from her fa- ther. She has lived in Camden, but her residence is a present in Woodbury, an aristocratic Gloucester county suburb. When the murder of two helpless wo- men was announced to Camden by Eli Shaw, who proclaimed that the deed had been done by burglar, the first message of sympathy he received came from Mabel Nelson, and the first visit he paid after the tragedy was to the home of Mabel Nelson in Woodbury. He was arrested in her presence by de- tectives who are thoroughly convinced that he killed his grandmother and his mother to gain more quickly an inner itance due him from them, which would enable him to marry Mabel Nelson.

 He returned to The Tribune on salary of S25 week, which was acceptable until another paper offered him $100 a week. He went to The Tribune people and told them that he could not afford to stay at $25 They reminded him that MT. Greeley drew only $50, and it clearly would not do to give him moro than his chief. But they gave him $50, the same as Horace had, and that was the highest salary he ever received there.
 MT. Dana drew to The Tribune some of the ablest writers and thinkers of the time, and he made the paper the gospel of the thinking, conservative and cultivated clements in the community. The elder Bennett discovered that the young manag- ing editor of The Tribune had quite as keen "a nose for news" as he himself pos sessed and as good a judgment of the rela- tive importance of news.
 MT. Dana connection with The Tribune gave him an intimate acquaintance with most of the great men of the Republican party, and when In 1884, owing to dis agreement with Horace Greeley respecting the attitude of The Tribune upon the con- duct of the war, he retired he was esteemed as one of the influential younger men of the party Edwin M Stanton, the secre- tary of war. who knew MT Dana we'll offered him the post of assistant secretary of war, and he undertook these labors with extraordinary energy Much of the timo he was with General Grant in the west His executive capacity was never more su- perbly revealed than when, as the repre- sentative of the war department, he was engaged in forwarding Grants gigantic military schemes.
 After the war MT. Dana might have &C., cepted several offers to re-enter business life, but the Vaccinations of journalism caused him to decline every proposition of that sort made to him. A company was organized to create and publish great Republican newspaper in Chicago, and MT Dana was offered the editorship, and

 The thousands of people who daily cross City Hall park in New York city used to see sitting near a window in the northwest corner of The Sun building a venerable figure intent upon manuscript or printed matter. The profile revealed high fore head and bald outline of symmetric head with q brain to fit it, arched brows, gold spectacles, a forceful nose, full and rag ged mustache and beard led up to by suit of simple and conventional apparel That was tho late Charles A. Dana, the gifted editor of the New York Sun, "the grand old man" of journalism, a man by native ability and acquired endowments the best equipped for successful newspaper work in the country.
 Charles Anderson Dana was about 5 feet inches high and weighed nearly 200 pounds His sanctum was simple and unobtrusive room about 12 by II feet and devoid of frills. In this workshop the greatest of American journalists sat al- most every day in the year when he was not travelling in Europe He was born in Hinsdale, N. H., Aug. S. 1919 As boy in this rocky and desolate town it seemed to those who knew him that he was phys ically of such structure as made the suc- cessful farmer. The clergymen and the schoolteacher recognized, however, early in his boyhood days that his physical equipment was well matched by his intel lectual. He was one of those boys of whom it sometimes is said that learning is not study or task, but delight for them He had scarcely any need to go to

Much Gold In Alaska.

Seattle Wash, Oct, 20.-The steamer Bertha has arrived here from St. Mi chaels, Alaska, whence she sailed Oct 5. The Bertha brings no later news than was brought down by the Danube which left St. Michaels one day before the Bertha. Fourteen passengers came down on the Bertha, with about $50 00o in gold, most of 1t being in the posses. sion of Arthur M. Pope and Harry Wright. Isaac Dietrich, a mine owner and expert of San Francisco. was on the Bertha. In an interview MT. Diet. rich said:
 q have made a nasty trip of observa- tion of some of the gold sections of Alaska. I thought so favorably of the outlook that I got right into the har' ness and have four men at work. AL though gold mining in Alaska Is in Its extreme infancy. yet I predict as great a rush to certain parts of Alaska as there is now to Dawson.
 'I do not think there will be such great strikes as there were at Dawson, but there will be occasionally some thing like $50 to $50 day to the man. My friend Captain Stanley has enough ground on Bonanza creeR to warrant the statement that he has as good as $3, 000, 900 in bank.
 Such big strikes as his are as hard to find as the big nuggets. The forma- tions of the gold bearing districts Of Alaska are just about like the Klondike, and the conditions are the same. The extent of the gold bearing country Is about 900 miles long and nearly 200 miles wide. 1t seems to be an extension of the Rocky mountain belt. 1t will re- quire many years to prospect this great country. At present only the richest ground can be worked. but as experi- ments are made the less paying ground will afford a profit. I am of the firm opinion that the rich placer fields of Alaska will lead to the discovery of quartz veins carrying a far greater amount of gold than we have in Cali fornia" "

 Alaska's GoIdfieIds.
 San Francisco, Oct. 20-Naval men here are much interested in a proposed scheme to put the navy in charge po- licing the Yukon instead of the army. Senator Perkins and Congressman Hill born will ask for speedy action on an urgency appropriation of S75,000 foi boats and equipment of men to operate on the Yukon next season. Secretary Long, it is said, will incorporate the main features of this plan in his next report. The secretary is now having plans prepared for a flat bottomed, stern wheel gunboat of 275 tons bur den and a speei of 12 knots, as well as specifications for arctic outfits for the marines and sailors necessary to man the craft and the stations to be placed along the valley. The ship will be 125 feet long and 2S feet beam, with tubular boilers and high pressure engines. Un- like ordinary river craft, she will be housed in completely, with quarters foi the men on the main deck as well as on the cabin floor. She will be armed with 3-pounder swivel guns and gat- lings. There will be three launches oi light draft and several smaller boats.
 To Establish Three Stations.
 The plan is to establish three stations with Minook and Circle City at the ex. trenes. At each would be placed launch, with 20 marines and blue jackets, while Is marines and 25 sailor would make up the crew of the gunboat Regular posts would be established al points selected and dog teams kept there, so that winter patrol could b. maintained by the use of sledges.

INTRODUCTION OF BUSINESS.

The first way in which business trans.
actions commenced was probably that of
a simple exchange by barter.
Barter means the exchange of service
for service, commodity for commodity
or service for commodity, without the
question of price
Money subsequently became the medium
OF exchange between persons, states and
nations, and u standard by which all
values can be readily determined.
Then was commenced the operation of
buying and selling
Buying and selling is further develop
ment OF the original method OF exchange,
barter.
1t brought about more complicated
methods of transfer and led To a larger
and wider exchange Of commodities be-
tween persons and nations thereby inn
proving and advancing the civilization of
the world.
The use Of money led people TO think
about cost and selling prices. To study
them and try TO make profit out of cx
changes and business transactions.
The use Of money likewise rendered il
necessary that some sort of record of busi-
ness transactions be adopted and tho
operations brought To systematic basis
Business, therefore, commences with the
production or purchase of material and
ends only with the operation of selling
or trading the same for money or its equiv
alent.
The essential and first aim of business
Is gain or profit.
The operation of making a profit me-
cessitatcs the buying, producing or man.
ufacture at the lowest possible cost and
the selling at as high price as can be OBJ
taiued.
