but rather confined-not even
room to swing a Chillcat.
On leaving Dawson, = took the
elevated" North and kept that
course for several hours. About
600 miles from the last point
where I was enabled to obtain a
drink came upon long-bearded
old man with curly locks, a SOM
brero and a roll of manuscript.
1t was the "Poet of the Sierras"
communing with Nature and in
cidentally holding down claim.
A little further on deserted in
the hazy distance a strange bird
like object bearing straight
southwark. AS I felt sure it
would cross my path if it came
my way waited calmly. Imag-
inc my satisfaction and surprise
when discovered the object to
be Andree with his balloon.
Hearing the rumors of gold from
the people in his section he had
left his comfortable summer quar-
ters at the Polar House and had
sneaked over to Alaska for the
purpose of giving balloon exhibi-
tions to the miners, hoping in this
way to meet his hotel bill at the
Pole.
On my way back l secured, by
means of my Aurora Borealis
kodak, three splendid views of
the Arctic Circle, one front and
two back views.
That is about all. If my time
had not been restricted, and had
it not been for the intense heat, I
might have accomplished more.
AS 1t is if my humble efforts in
duce but one man to seek fame
and fortune in the Alaska gold
fields shall have my reward, (pro-
vided the man is the one I have
in my mind.

TO THROTTLE THE TRUSTS.
Wetumpka Democrat

Representative Greene, of Jefferson
county, has introduced bill in the legis-
lature that lawyers think will effectually
throttle trusts and monopolies Recent
ly there has been al cali from all over the
state for just such law and the bill
is likely TO go through all right. 1t is
high time the people were being pro-
tected from men who would suck their
very life blood Trust manipulators
should be handled just like any other
thieves. Because of the genteel manner
of committing a theft does not lessen
the offense. Bread is actually being
taken out of the mouths of thousands of
people every day of the year by trusts
of every kind and the people still sub
init. We wish to see Greene's bill en-
acted into law, and then see the courts
handle man who steals through the me-
dunn of the trust just as other thieves
are dealt with.

SOCIAL.

Phillip Brooks once said that he did not
see any particular harm in ladies play
ing cards and ndulging in other similar
social amusements, but he did think that
they could find something better with
which to occupy their time. Every per-
son is under obligation to confer some
benefit upon the present day and gener-
alton.
st. Mary's parish is not very strong
numerically, but is strong in good works.
The president and secretary and num-
Der of the board of directors of the United
Charities are members of st. Marys.
Mrs. Bradley Martin says that her COM
ing fancy dress ball has provoked SO
much opposition that she is more de-
termined than ever to make 1t a grand
success. The total cost will reach half
a million. 1t will exceed in magnificence
the Vanderbilt ball of ten years ago. Mrs.
Vanderbilt being Miss Smith, of Mo-
bile, and Mrs. Martin being the daugh-
ter of "a wealthy cooper of Troy N. Y, 1t
is in a measure a rivalry between the
north and the south. Both ladies are
mothers of daughters who married no,
blemen, and the interest of Europe is
enlisted. The ball will partake of royal
magnificence. especially in the costumes
Mrs Martin has intimated to her guests
that she prefers they dress In the gor-
geous costumes of the French empire Just
before the French revolution. Would not
history repeat itself If a revolution should
follow the Martin ball? Some OF the
guests refuse to go. saying they fear a
mob. Such ostentatious display of wealth
In the face of gaunt poverty widens the
chasm between the rich and the poor.

SUMS COTTON.

New York, Feb. v1.-Spot cotton here
was unchanged, with sales of 140 bales
for spinning; 2,1O0 bales were delivered
on contract. The speculation today was
utterly devoid of new or interesting de-
velopments. What little trading there
was Of local scalping character, and
the fluctuations in prices were confined
within narrow limits. Prices slowly adj
vanced early in the day. Liverpool was
higher, the receipts at the ports and in
terror towns were slight and there was a
small demand for local account. Before
the close, part of the Improvement was
lost on selling by local scalpers. Liver
pool also sold here early in the day, but
the worst features was the dullness OF
speculation. The sentiment continues
bullish, but owing TO, the stagnation of
the speculation, the fluctuations. in prices
from day to day are few and unfmpor-
tant. Y. ssyor' 80 fas
