KLONDIkE NECESSITIES.
An Old Gold Hunter Tells What
Things VIII Be Useful.
From the yellow Book.

IOln the L GLOW BOOK.
I am amazed at the popular ignorance
concerning a proper outfit for the Klon-
dixie. 1 have before me several news
paper lists of articles necessary for the
outfit The longest contains only BAT
items. How ridicuously inadequate!
Now, 1 f1atter myself 1 know some
thing about the matter. 1 have been
hunting for gold all my life, although I
have seldom obtained anything better than
silver and dirty bank bills. Moreover, 1

can mention a number of things that
should be added to those lists, and which
are just as useful as half the articles
now on them.
In the first place, take along your full
dress suit. Gold-hunting is adventure.
pure and simple, and almost every adven-
turer l have seen wears a full dress suit
In fact. often he possesses no other.
Cigarettes should be added to go with the
dress suit. Also, patent feathers and mon
ocle. The latter is also useful while act
ually looking for the gold.
None of the lists mention whisky Take
lots of it. 1t is weary work waiting for
the gold to turn up, and you want to pass
away the time as happily as possible
There is no danger attending its use, for
as soon as you find gold you can take the
gold cure.
Take along at least twenty pounds OF
axle-grease to rub on the runners of your
sled. 1t will make the sled slip over the
snow easily. Moreover, you can eat it, if
your grub runs short.
Every list 1 have seen contains a. cook.

not keep you warm. In the days of 40
every miners cabin was supplied with
steam or furnace heat. However YOU
can't expect to live as luxuriously as thew
did
Take along plenty of canned goods. A
rich and varied menu is essential Don't
forget a good cookbook. There is not a
cowboys camp or miners cabin in all
the west that is not supplied with one of
these aids to civilization.
Take along plenty of linen, as there are
few laundries en- route, and don't forget
your mighty. You have got to sleep there
just as you would anywhere else. A bath

LAWRENCE HANLEY IN TROUBLE.
His Wife Sues For a Divorce and He
Has Been Discharged From a The
ater Company.

From the New York Sun.
st. Louis, Dec. 7.-Lawrence Hanley,
formerly Barrett's leading man, is in trou-
BILE. He was discharged from the Imperial
Theater Stock Company after a quarrel
with Manager Gumperez. and now, it Is
learned, he has been sued for divorce.
On Nov. q his wife. Edith, who resides
with her parents at Los Angeles Cal, filed
her plea for divorce alleging cruelty ana
intemperance.
Mrs. Hanley was Miss Edith Lammert
of Los Angeles. Her parents are wealthy,
and, in city noted for Its beautiful wo-
men, she was reigning belle. She had
predictions for the stage, and when Han
leys company visited the coast in 1893 she
secured an engagement. Two months lat
er she married Hanley
Their welded bliss was short lived.
Hanley's Incorporate habits ruined their
married life. She endured her troubles
silently for two years, but in 1895, during
an engagement in Cincinnati, Hanley went
on one of his tears and abused her so
violently that she was forced to leave him.
She was playing in the company, but had
to throw up her part and seek shelter in
a strange hotel. He found her and she
was forced to flee to the home of a friend
for protection. Later she returned to her
fparentS.

From the British Medical journal
As a considerable majority of the pa
tents who have lately consulted me for
nasal trouble have complained that the
sensation Of obstruction has either COM
menced or considerably increased since
they have taken to the bicycle. the ques-
tion arises: Are we to place this otherwise
healthy and almost necessary mode Of To-
comotion among the causes of nasal mis-
chief? 1t is quite conceivable that the
quick rush through the air inhaling large
quantities of dust on the country roads
and all sorts and conditions Of dirt ON the
London ones, might cause considerable ir-
ritaton to the nasal mucous membrane.

 W. = lartman, general manager of the = a stnsst Railway and Illumin- atin smpany. was seen tonight and whsn told of the reported arrest of MT .Gitsen he confessed that he knew noth- ing of 1t and was greatly surprised. It is said that Gibsons removal as presl- dent of the Akron Street Railway and Illuminating company was brought aboub by foreign parties interested in the company.
 George Allen, attorney for the com pany, was also seen tonight. He said that he had known Emmett c. Gibson flor five years, and that he was formerly locatetd at Chicago.

NOT YET INFORMED.
State Department Does Know When the Cortes Will Be Dissolved.

Washington, Oct. 7.-The state tfepart- uncnt has not yet been officially informed of the purpose of the Spanish govern ment to dissolve the cortes tn December, as indicated in Madrid cablegrams. It was expected, however, that it would be found necessary for the ca binet to go to the country in order to secure the SUD- pora of a majority for the liberal poEcy toward Cuba, ir'alsmuch as the present cortes has clear conservative majority whenever that party's elements can be brought together.
 Disappoini. is felt at the remote date set for ,,he convening of the new cortes, for 1t is presumed that any new progra mme for the settlement of Cuban affairs must be ra,ified by the new cor ties, ard if it Is mot to meet until next March the long delay, it is feared, will give rise to irritation and perhaps lessen he powers of endurance of the present administration.
 1t is possible, however, that by a prompt declaration of policy towards Cuba couched in such terms and made public in such fashion as to bird the government beyond doubt That the de- lay will not be serious in results.

 Bowen on Commercial Outlook

Madrid, Oct. Tt is semi i-officially an- nounced that the note which Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, the United States minister, communicated to the Duke of Tetuan the Spanish minister for foreign affairs, is no more an ultima tum than it is commentary document. In spirit and text it is couched in fri ndly terms. It expresses a wish to know when Cuba can be paeified, and requests Spain to reply before Oct. 30 i'm order that President Mckinley may be able to in- corporate Spafn's answer in his message to congress.
 Premier Sa,gasta in agreement with Senor Gullon, the minister for foreign affairs, proposes to send a moderate re- ply, declaring Spain will await events and is taking such measures as con- sideration and prudence dlstaItes until the change of policy in Cuba smooths the relations between the two govern ments.
 The answer of Spain will not be drawn up until the programme fer the reforms in Cuba has been published

THREE CROOKED BANKERS.

The Difference May be Bridged Over by
 Holding Two Meetings.
AMBASSADOR HAY TO ARRANGE THIS
Great Britain May Refuse to Attend Upt;l 1t Is Definitely Decided as to Who Will Participate-All Commun-
 ieatiOns are Being Cabled

Washington, Oct. 1.-The state depart ment has received full information as to the position of the British government on the proposed Bering sea coufer- ence. This proves to be more complete than the brief cable reports from Lon don indicate as the department has been advised not only of Great Britain's de- clination to enter a conference unless 1t is limited to experts of the United States, Great Britain and Canada, but has also been informed quite fully as to what led the Marquis of Salisbury to this conclusion.
 The British view as laid before the state department is that at no stages of the negotiations has the British goy- ernment agreed to a conference except that between the experts of Great Brit ain, Canada and the United States. It is not questioned that Secretary Sher- man and Ambassador Hay made sug- gestions that the conference should be between "the powers interestedo and that some of the notes from the United States authorities expressed a desire to have Russia and Japan take part in the conference.
 But 1t is pointed out that these sug- geations came from the United States, and until accepted could have no effect tin determining the nature of the confer ence. So far as the suggestions were accepted the note of Lord Salisbury of July 2S is said to stand alone, and this note, it is stated, mentioned only ,a con- ference between the experts of the United States, Great Brpaadn and Can- ada. The latest correspondence on the subject leads to considerable doubt as to who will participate in the coming meet ings It has been understood that the difference would be bridged over by bold- ing two meetings, in one of which Rus sia and Japan wGll participate without Great Britain, while a second meeting would be held between the experts of Gra, Britain and the Limited States.
 1t is understood that Ambassador Hay
 
 npent in case Great Britain decIned to e.i.er the general conference But there is now some question whether the Brit ish authorities wtM participate until definite decision is reached as to who wlA iake part in the general conference, as there Is understood to be a reluctance on the part of the British to john dual con- ferenlce, and some doubt whether she British experts will leave for this coun- try to attend either "a general or limjsed conference until an understanding is reached on the entire subject.
 The conference Is So near at hand the first plan having been to hold 1t on October 23-thc negotiations are neces- sarlly conducted by cable, and by this means satisfactory adjustment may yet be cached.

 The Spaniards care little for our agri- cultural implements and machinery. Our wheat they consider too fine and what of it they buy they mix with the coarses Russian. g1 ades. They consider our bi- cycles the best in the world, but as they are more expensive than English French and German makes, few are imported Bicycling. is not very popular in Spain as Spanish women do not regard whsei- ing in keeping with propriety.
 Spain, the consuls dispatch says, has a high protective tariff and it operates adversely to the United States, as we nave TO treaty with her according 10 low rates. Another serious question is that of exchange. Gold is at premium of over 30 per cent. Seven years ago

There is practically no gold in circulation in Spain, exchange being so high tEe prices of food and of living are of course affected and the general tendency now is to advance the prices or all commodities. Certain English, German and French firms during the past two years have established facto- rles in Spain to meet the new condi- tions.

A SHOCKING CRIME
 IN OLD KENTUCKY Eleven White Men Assault a Young
 Woman. MENAClNG CROWD GATHER And the Sheriff Compelled to Clear
 the Corridors.
FROM NEWPORT TO EVANSVILLE
They Were Taken to Prevent Mob Violence Ten of the Perpetrators of the Foul
 Deed Identified and in JaiI-
 The Other Captured. a

Newport, Ky, Oct 7.-Arn angry crowd gathered about the court house and jail today upon the announcement of shocking assault by evelen men upon the young wife of sNt:chmam recently mar ried. The sheriff was obliged to clear the corridors, and chreats of vengeance were made
 Thomas Gleason and his wife started out the Alexandria pike to visdt-a friend last night, when two men with revoIvers and representing themselves to be off, cers separated husband and wife and dragged the shrieking woman into "a field where eleven men assaulted her.. The penalty for t,ds crime in Kentucky is deailh. x
 The men were given a preliminary hearing before Judge Bennett, who held ten of them for the grand jury without bail. The eleventh has not yet been identified. Owing ito the exc:,1ed state of feexng and the insecurity of the Newpore jail, the mem were ordered to be taken to Maysville for aafekeeping.
 When the time came for the removal of the ten prisoners to the Chesapeake and Ohio depot to take the train for MayEville, there was such a meniacing crowd about Ci!le jail that Ghe sheltff called out Ithe entire police force to pre- serve order. It was with difficulty that the men were taken to ilhe two wagons which conveyed them to the depot. The crowd followed them closely.
 At the depot and before the train arr rived ihe situation grew more threatens ing. The crowd jeered the prisoners and shouts of Don't Jet them get on tilat train," were heard. The police finally had to charge the yelling crowd to pre- vent rush as the prisoners. Fortunate- 1y, the train soon came and the men were safely embarked.
 The prisoners are aged froIffn 19 to 30 years, mostly without employment. Two or three are street peddlers and all are known ito the police as gang going to- gether and often drunk and disorderly. Their names are: Dad Medner, George Greer, Huber Miller, Edward HeDling, Frank Bushmiller, Harry Burshm.lle-' John Sharnon, Matt Meiner John Du- foss and William Schorle. The one last arrested, and who is still in jail awaiting Identification is William Croxton. He will be brought before Mrs Gleason hate tonght. The other ten were promptly recognized by Mrs. Gleason in the crowd ed court room. The men exhibited the most reckless bravado, ore or two being drunk while in court.
 Official advices received by wire from Maysville, Ky, late tonight are that tha ten assailants of Mrs. Gleason ar- rived there tonight, a-id are safely jaf11d. The sheriff of Camp county, with depu ties and several Newport policemen are at May5ville. There are TO visible symp- toms of dangerous excitement in Mays vilne tonight. William Croxtcu., who was detained at Newport, was ideptifi d by Mrs. Gleason tonight as one of her assailants. He is in Newport jail, but VIII be taken to Maysvifle tomorrow. Dangerous excitement has subsided in Newport for the present at least.
