The scientists who tell us that
there is no supernatural power en-
gineering the workings of this
world of ours remind one of a
walking delegate in an ant-hill tell
ing his intelligent brethren that
they are the sole occupants of this

of infinity as the ant has of man.

In solving ''Problems of Young

Ladies' Home Journal, replying to
an inquirer contends that opportu-
mites for promotion Gin BUSINESS
are more numerous in large cities
than in smaller communities, but
they are not better. ''There are
more chances in the larger cities,
but likewise there are more appli-
cants for the chances; Salaries
may be higher in the centers, but
so, too, is the cost of living.
Things always equalize themselves.
To my way Of thinking, a moder-
ate business success in a small
community means more to a man
in point Of living and absolute
satisfaction, than greater success
in larger city"

Destructive War.

DENVER, August 16.- Arthur Say age, the inventor of the Savage re- beating rifle, who has just arrived from Mexico, said in all interview to- day:
 'Mexico is engaged in a destruc- tive war with the Yueatan Indians, and as soon as the regular army of the republic can be supplied with arms of the latest pattern, hostilities will be pushed with the utmost vigor.
 s.The Yucatan tribe never has been subdued by white men, and the chances are the conflict will cause war between Mexico andGdatemala. The boundry line between these two countries has never been satisfactor- fly settled, and in the course of the impending conflict it is prephesied by those who have looked into the subject that the two republics will be brought into martial array against each other.

DRY DOCKS NEEDED
Plan for the Construction of Them will be Submitted to
 Congress.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. Admiral Bunce, commandant of the New York navy yard; Commodore Chad wick, chief of the equipment bureau and Naval Constructor Dashiel were in conference with Acting Secretary Roosevelt, of the navy department today considering in a general way the subject of dry docks for the naval vessels of the United States. The conference is preliminary to the preparation of a project for dry docks to be submitted to congress at the next session.. The necessity which compelled the Indiana to go to Halifax to be doeked has aroused the navy department to the impor- tance of having a system of docks which can be utilized for amp of the war vessels. There rave been many attempts in the past to secure bet ter docking facilities for the naval vessels, but so far they have not been successful. Several plans for the building of large dock at diff
 ferent naval stations have been pro- posed, but none have yet been found satisfactory. Naval officials have ur- ged the importance of having a large dock either at Boston or Ports mouth, N. H., also at Norfolk, Va, and at some point on the gulf, possible in the mouth of the Mis- sissippi river near Alglers, La, and another on the Pacific coast. It is expected that the reason for more docks and the urgent necessity of two or more capable Of holding the largest battleships will be set out in the project to be submitted to Con- gress by the navy department.

Fully as Bad as Stated.

Concerning the Perdue- Williams incident of which the GRAPHIC of last week gave an account, the Press Eagle of today published an inter- view with Mir. John Perdue and tho father of MT. Perdue's bonded slave. The Press-Eagle heads the article Not So Bad as Stated
 It seems to us that the Press Eagles editor has no grounds to make even this statement. For the facts were as published in the GRAPHIC, and can be substantiated by the afiidayits of fully fifty people, who saw the manner in which the boy was treated.
 No parent or guardian has the right to chain up a child and beat and cuff him about like was q brute, and that was the manner iA which the negro boy, Adam Williams, was treated by MT. John Perane. Trace chains were locked about the boys ankles and he was beat with q board while in chains. Mr. John Perdue said that he assumed full re- sponsiblity for all he did, and would do the same again under similar cir cumstaEces; that his father had no connection with the affaiT in any way.
 The connection with the affair which the GRAPHIC charges Mr. Alex Perdue, is that he was present at the time the boy was iE chains and was being beat with board, in the hands of Mr. John Perdue, MT. Alex Perdue's son, that he, (AleX Perdue) by not interfering, sanctioned his son's actions. The outrage was committed in Mir. Alex Perdue's store in the presence of many wit nesses, one of whom was the GRAPHIC reporter.
 The reporter knows no difference between the Perdues and other men who commit acts that do violence to humanity or morality, and the arti- Gle would have appeared in the GRAPHIC had some other citizen let his temper run away with his judg- ment to such an extent as abuse a helpless human being, or even q dumb brute.
 Doubtless, the boy, Adam Will Hams, is a hard case, and, perhaps, worhthless, but that would not even justify his father in chaining and beating him. Even the law limits the punishment children shall receive at the hands Of parents and guardians.

THE YUKON MINES.
THE GOLD DISCOVERIES NOT so
WEAK RECENT.
Kirk Munroe Wrote of the Yukon
Placers Over Four Years
Ago.

From the present excitement over the
existence of gold in the Clondyke couh-
frye one might imgaine that the goio
had been discovered only recently Yet
it has been known for several years that
the mines there We're yielding good re-
turns, and travellers have brought Dack
stories of the finds" of the more fortu-
nate miners Few of these travellers
however, have put their experiences
into writing; so the account Of the min
ing districts given by Kirk Munroe, the
Well-known writer for boys, who visited
them about four years ago, IS Oh paruc-
ular interest at this time. 1t occurs IN
Mr.. Munroe's story, Snow Shoes and
Sledges," a sequel to The Fur-Seal 5
Tooth" both of which, published by the
Harpers, are narratives OF adventure
in Alaska. As the book appeared in
1895, Mr.. Munroe cannot be suspected of
having colored his account to crafty
the present eagerness of newspaper
readers for glowing descriptions of the
gold fields.
ITO begin WITH he says in the chap
ter entitled, "A Yukon Mining Camp,
"although it is at the junction of Forty
Mile Creek and the Yukon River, it is
not in Alaska, but about twenty miles
east Of the boundary in Northwest Ter
ritory, which is one of the subdivisions

besides doing all of his own house-work
and cooking. He also expects to do
certain amount of hunting and trapping
during the winter months, so that his
time, unless he be very lazy, is fully
occupied. But lazy men are not apt 10
reach Forty Mile, for the journey from
Juneau, in Southern Alaska, which is
the largest city in the Territory, as well
as the nearest Quitting point for the
diggings is so filed with peril and the
toughest kind of hard work as TO deter
any but men of the most determined en-
ergy.
AT Juneau. Yukon travellers provide
themselves with an outfit of snow shoes,
sledges, tents, fur clothing, provisions,
and whatever else seems to them neces-
sary. Starting in the early spring, they
proceed by boat to the Chilkat country,
seventy miles distant, and to the head
of Chilkoot Inlet. From there they set
forth on a terrible mountain climb over
snow many feet in depth, where they
are in constant danger from avalanches,
and cross the coast range by a pass that
rises three thousand feet above timber
line. On the opposite side they strike
the headwaters of the Yukon, which
they follow through a series of six lakes,
sledging over their still ice-bound wa
tiers, and rafting down the connecting
links, in which are seething rapids, dark
gorges, and roaring canyons, around
which all goods must be carried on men
backs. After some two hundred miles
of these difficulties have been passed,
trees must be felled, lumber sawed out,
and boats constructed for the remaining
five hundred miles of the weary jour
ney.
AS it would not pay to transport
freight by this route, all provisions and
other supplies for the diggings are ship
ped from San Francisco by sea to St
Michaels, where they are transferred TO
small river steamers like the Chino,
and so, after being many months on the
way, finally reach their destination. BY
this time their value has become so en-
HANGED or enchanted" as the miners
say, that Phil Ryder found flour selling
for $50 a barrel, bacon at 30 cents per
pound, beans at . cents per pound,
canned fruit at 30 cents per pound,
coarse flannel shirts at So each, rubber
boots at SIS per pair, and all other goods
at proportionate rates. Even sledge
dogs, such as he had purchased at An
vik for 50 or So each, were here valued
at SO apiece.
