six stout Thlingi,s TO tote him to the
place.
The funeral procession was striking
ly informal. Everybody just sauntered
along any old way, the mourners howl
ing in a dozen different keys. A small
party of veteran Yukoners, hardened
by long sojourn among the Arctic
SHOWS and brief but demoralizing ex-
perience of Dawson dance halls,
brought up the rear, irreverently whist
ling "There'll Be a Hot Time in the
Old Town Tonight" 1t was new
song to them, having recently been in
troduced among the select circles or
Dawson City by a vivacious young per-
son formerly of Frisco, who sang 1t
with great success at Summer soiree.
The natives thought 1t was the Amer
lean national hymn, and felt highly
flattered by the delicate attention.
SeIf-Tortured Mourners.
While the relatives and guests gath
cred around in a solemn circle. the
pyre was ignited The relatives wept
and howled and crooned and keened,
and the guests started systematically
to work themselves into an advanced
state Of seeming epilepsy. The Prince
Frederick Sound Thlingits boast of tor
turing themselves in most horrible
manner while the body Of friend Ia
in process of cremation. On this &C.
casion a special deputation from Prince
of Wales Island graced the scene and
did its little best to make thinks live
ly, It looked for ling time as II
there would be half dozen impromp-
tn supplementary funerals on the spot.
Howling at the tops Of their voices
dancing with terrible abandon, wrig-
Cling like snakes and shivering like
Mexican dogs, the guests pranced
around the little plateau, beating their
own faces with Jagged stones until they
were covered with bruises and bleeding
profusely. They tore their arms and
breasts with their nails, sharp as
eagles talons, and slashed the CULVER
ing flesh with rude knives. This fren-
xied self-vivisection was kept up as
long as the body was burning, which
was more than an hour.
Chanting the Dirge.
After the body had been thoroughly
cremated all the guests followed the
widow to her broken home, where they
| seated themselves around her. Then
| the relatives, their hair cropped and
burned, and their faces blackened and
| otherwise disflgured, entered the hut
| and walked to the centre of the circle,
where they leaned upon sticks, bowed
their heads and began to chant the
| funeral dirge.
| 1t may not be believed but this same
dirge was sung by the relatives for six
| mortal hours, and when they broke
down the guests took up the weird re-
frain. They howled In relays, stopping
alternately for refreshments, so that
the death song lasted continuously four
| days and as many nights.
Sacrifice of slaves.

alleged inhuman manner In which a
number of foxes are being cared for at
Little Heron island, which is few miles
off Boothbay Harbor. These foxes were
captured few years ago near Seattle,
Wash, and sent to friends in this state.
They were taken to Little Heron island
and have since been there. 1t is COM
planned by neighbors that the foxes are
not fed properly and that sufficient
shelter is not furnished them in cold and
stormy weather. Agent Perry has assured
the complainants that the case will receive

1ngtOn and sPOrtland Amateurs Will Re-
ply.
For several recent fair days a flash of
brilliant light has been observed from the
summit of Mt. Washington. Mr.. r. S.
Rand first noticed it, and reported it to
Mr.. George III. SmardOn, whom he knew
to be interested in photography. Mr..
Smardon at once recognized the flashes
as those from a Photograph, and getting
his own instrument tried to open COM
munication with the operator on Mt.
Washington. But the latter had evident
ly left his post. So Mr.. Smardon wrote
a letter to Mt. Washington, saying that
he had seen the flashes and would like to
open communications. Friday forenoon
Mr.. Smardon received telegram from
Mr.. Geo. S. Chase, the Mt. Washin qton
photographer, saying that he would hold
flash light conversation between 10 and
II q. m. the first fair day. AS it was
rainy Friday they could not talk, but
probably this Saturday or Sunday the
conversation will take place.
Although the mirror of the heliogranh
is very small, not generally over four
inches square, the rays as seen here from
the Mt. Washington heliograph are very
bright, surprising the electric light which
was erected on the mountain few
months ago.
Mr.. Smardou and Mr.. J. K. Emery
are tho only amateur photographers in the
city. Both are very enthusiastic. The
signal corps have the use of the hello.
graph as part of their drill, Mr.. Bailey
being their operator.
Mr.. Smardon has been very successful
in the use of the heliograph, having com
municated twenty five miles by means of
| it, from Portland to Saddleback lnonn-
| tain in Sebago.
A clear day is needed for the heliogranb
SO that art may be practised only tnrin :,
