- OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES rFNTaHnTt#
During the past ten days Information
has boon received Of the discovery in
Alaska Of what are believed to bethe rich
est gold fields in the world, The finds
are 80 rich that men have grown wealthy
in single day. Great nuggets, worth
several hundred dollars, have been pick
cd up from the ground as one might
gather pebbles along the creek bed. So
the story goes in the daily papers. With
the news of the great find, men in every
condition OF life have not hesitated to
throw up good jobs and rush to the new
Eldorado. Steamers to Alaska find II
impossible to transport the prospective
miners to their destination. The gold
fields lie away up in the Klondyke SEQ
ton of the Yukon river, in one Of the
coolest regions on earth. After reaching
thefarthest point by transportation, it is
necessary to traverse scores OF mileE
across 9 bleak and barren country,
mountainous and cold as Spitzbergen, in
order to reach thegold fields. Many hard
ships must be endured by those who go
out there, and in q few months some mis-.
cradle tales Of woe from Alaska may be
expected.

The Populist party is now almost a
thing of the past. The recent convention
at Nashville DEVELOPED all the smoldering
antagonisms and iealousies which have
been partially suppressed for the sake OF
common interest heretofore. The con-
flcting elements in the party came into
open clash at Nashville and the weak ties
that served to keep them together during
q campaign burst asunder and the party
is to-day in a state of rapid disintegration.
Leading Populists do not deny this. Hon.
Tom Watson, of Georgia, practically adj
mits it in the following language: SIN the
breaking up of the peoples party which
Mr. Butler has done so much to bring
about, many other old-time Republicans
will befounj doing just what Dunnipg
did. If we cannot arrest the falling to
pieces of our party, those who were once
Democrats will be Democrats again, and
those who were once Republicans will be
Republicans again. Fusion is dissolving
populism back into its original ele-
ments.n

All cotton pushes, velvets, velveteens,
etc., will now cost the woman 81 per cent
more than under the Wilson law. The
rate has been raised from 40 per cent to
81 per cent. The classificationS have not
been changed, but the duties have been
increased in each case.
All wooden pushes have been increased
from 30 per cent to the rates that run
from SS to 147 per cent. Silk pushes,
yelvets and chenilles fare equally as
badly. In every classification the rates
have been increased. b eincreases range
from Is to 80 per cent. So the shopper
can prepare to take that n-uch more
money with her when she starts out to
procure her winter outfit.
Hosiery is going to cost q nice little
sum hereafter. All cotton hosiery will
have an additional 20 per cent and more
tackled to the price. All silk hosiery will
cost an additional 10 per cent, for the new
law places the duty at GO per cent instead
of so per cent as under the Wilson law.
Cotton underwear does not escape.
Under the Wilson law only shirts and
drawers were on the dutiable list and
these at the general rate Of SO per cent.
Now to shirts and drawers are added
vests, union suits, combination suits,
tights, sweaters, corset covers ana all
underwear Of every description and the
duty is placed at C5 per cent. Nothing
in the shape of cotton underwear can
escape that Is per cent raise.
Flannels for underwear fare still worse.
All the rates on the half dozen grades
have been increased and the average
| taken shows that the increase has been
So per cent. The average duty on flannel
for underwear under the Wilson bill was
4S per cent; under the new law it is 100
| per cent. Silk underwear will also cost
| 10 per cent more, but as on other articles
| the rate on the luxuries is not nearly 80
| high as on the necessities.
Boot, shoe and corset laciDgs of cotton

deadly pale when she saw Beltran and
his mother. He kissed the pale face until
the color returned in burning flush; and
then Mrs. Carew kissed her. Beatrix look

''There is nothing wrong, l know" she
said, ''or you would not laugh but why
