A Costly Hypnotic Test.

Tallulah Falls, Ca, Aug. 3o.-A
suit for 81, $50 damages has been filed
in this county which develops sensa-
tionally unique story. Mrs Fairbanks
Higgins and her daughter, of Atlanta,
have been spending the summer here,
and in the burning Of the Grandview
hotel, at which they were stopping,
lost their possessions, amounting to
81, 800. They sued the proprietor to
recover.
Mrs. B. A. Young, proprietress Of
the hotel, files an answer alleging in
substance that at an evening social the
young lady was hypnotized and com
manded to fire the hotel When she
retired to her room it is claimed that
she literally obeyed the injunction and
robbed herself of right to sue.

-Biockade at Vt. MIchaels Equals

Tacoma, Aug. S0.--In an interview

There are $500 tons OF provisions
stored at ST. Michaels, awaiting ship.
ment up the river. Half of it will not
get through this year. Last winter
four boats we're frozen up for eight
months loaded with supplies for the
camp. There will be more this year.
'"The poor fools, or at least 80 per
cent Of them, who have gone up to st.
Michaels, hoping TO get up the river,
will be disappointed. They cannot
make it. The fleet of river boats is
too small for the traffic and the result
will be that freight and passengers will
be tied mp at st. Michaels or in the
river. While some of the first that
reach st. Michaels can go through easily
on the first trip or so OF the steamers,
the majority cannot.

get in before next spring, and then they
should go up with year or Is months
provisions.
II will go back in the spring, going
in by the Fort Wrangel, Stickeen river
and Lake Teslin route.
1T is all nonsense to suppose that
there is any opposition to Americans
that are going in. Those British officers
treat Americans just the same as they
do Englishmen. No duty is collected
except on goods taken in for trade. No
miner has ever been charged duty on
his outfit, and don't believe any ever
will.
Dawson City is a quiet, orderly

Quartz Mining More Certain.

Washington, Aug. s0.--General W.
w. Duffield, superintendent OF the
coast and geodetic survey, in discussing
the gold discoveries in Alaska, gave
this advice TO young men:
''If were young man," he said,
81 should get about 75-ton schooner
at Seattle, take supplies and engage
the services OF first-class prospector.
Then should cruise along the south
eastern part of Alaska, in what is
called Alexander archipelago. There
are number of islands there and more
gold lodes than at any place with which
am acquainted. The mining would
not be 'placers, but the ore can be got
ten out very cheaply and being directly
on the sea, the transportation amounts
to nothing, except the time spent"

Will Sustain Spain.

London, Aug. SO.-The Paris corre-
ipondent Of the Daily Mail says:
United States Minister Woodford, Am
basSador Porter and Ambassador White
have failed to arrive at any definite de-
cision at their conference. General
Woodford's task is extremely DELICATE.
He has been instructed to put the screw
upon Spain, but to avoid any step lead
ing to an open rupture. Much de-
pends, therefore, upon Spain's attitude,
and upon the amount of support she re-
ceives in Europe. On both these points
the reports of Ambassador White and
AMBASSADOR Porter were unfavorsble to
the American case. The Spanish gov
ernment is forced by public opinion to
continue the policy of Canovas, and the
sentiment Of both France and Ger
many is decidedly hostile to American
interference.

The Momen MARCH Q d.

Pittsbug, Aug. S0.--The wives and
daughters Of the striking miners at
DeArmitt's Oak Hill mine took a
prominent part in today's demonstra-
tion, Early this morning dozen or
more women gathered at the camp
and with flags and banners marched
along the road leading toward the tip
pie. On their way they met number
of miners going to the pit, and greeted
them with yells and jeers. They de-
rided the miners who were working
and ridiculed them in manner which
caused many of them to hang their
heads in shame. The women say they
will make a demonstration every day
hereafter.

TELEGRAM SAVED HIS LIFE.

A stockton's Mans Escape--Mistake Of
Druggist Nearly Fatal.
Sacramento, Aug. s0.--George Ladd,
one of the most prominent wholesale
liquor-dealers in Stockton. left this city
tonight for Portland, Ore, to seek his
health. Before he left he had doc
tors prescription filed at one Of the
leading drug stores, but as fortune would
have it he received telegram in time
TO keep him from taking the medicine.
Had the telegram failed to reach him he
would have died from the effects Of
deadly dose.
The clerk who filled the prescription
took the wrong bottle and put in col
rosive sublimate instead Of the drug that
was written in the prescription. The
error was discovered about two hours
after the train had started and tele-
gram was sent ahead in the almost vain
hope that it would reach him in time.
The telegram said:
do not take the medicine; it is
poison and sure DEATH"
A duplicate of the dispatch was sent
to Chief Of Police Drew, OF this city,
and instructions were given to the Off
GERS, who boarded the train just as Mr..
Ladd was about TO take the dose that
would have ended his life, and the tele-
graph triumphed over the bungling Of
druggists clerk.

A BULLET ENDS 1T ALL.
Divid s. Tuthnl Kills Himself in Bed
with Pistol.

Portland, Or. Aug. 30.-David S.
Tuthill of this city, is lying dead at
his residence, at Eighteenth and Davis
streets, from bullet wound in his
temple, inflicted by his own hand.
When his body was discovered yes
terday morning it was dressed as if for
sleep, and was reposing in bed as though
his slumbers we're for the night; but
in his right hand was firmly grasped q
3S-caliber pistol, the muzzle of which
rested on the dead mans cheek, and
the pillow beneath his head was satur-
ated with his blood. No one heard the
report of the revolver or knew Of his
self-destruction until an early hour
yesterday morning, when an attempt
was made to call him to breakfast.
His sister and a servant both slept in
the dwelling, the former on the same
floor and the latter above in the attic.
David S. Tuthill had been identified
with the business interests OF the city
for the past Is years in various capa-
cities. He had for many years been
the confidential man Of the firm of
Allen & Lewis, wholesale grocers, and
had been connected with various bust
ness enterprises of his own. He was
SD degree Mason, Knight Templar,
and was popular in society. His vio-
lent death has created great sensa-
tion, and common rumor that the
cause impelling him to take his own
life was deialcationa from his employ
ers, is supported by many circum-
stances, although nothing affirmative
or contradictory can be obtained from
Allen Lewis, manager of the firm.
