Treasnrv put TO Trouble.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.-The treas
ury department has already experi-
enced some difficulty in making ship
ments Of coin and currency from the
United States subtreasury and the mint
at New Orleans in consequence of yell
low fever quarantines against that city
No particular inconvenience would re-
suit but for the fact that between $780,
600 and $500 900 in subsidiary silver re-
Gently has been coined at that mint
which is now needed elsewhere. There
are also about 100000 600 in silver dol
lars in the mint, which may be tied up.
II the embargo is materially extended
within the next few days or is even
maintained as at present the mint at
Philadelphia will be temporarily run on
double time to meet the present de-
mand.
A telegram was received by the sur
geon general of the Marine Hospital
service from DR.. Carter, dated at Fon-
tainebleau, saying that he had appoint
ed guards for the towns of Perkinston
and Berkeley. He spoke Of the stop
page of trains on the Ship Island and
Gulf railroad by order of the state au-
thorities and suggested that the same
results might be accomplished by a
train inspection service.
In view of the report the surgeon gen.
eral ordered Surgeon Murray to give
special attention to the Perkinston case,

Truly there are trials belonging TO old
age which are hard to bear. The loss OF
faculties is the hardest writes Mrs
Lynn Linton. So long as one can en-
ploy oneself, not asking help from any
person-so long as one can read. write,
work, lSnit-what you will in the way
of Independent occupation, old age has
lost one of its worst inilictions.
When blindness and deafness and in
ability to use the hands, and such bC.-
lily weakness as makes movement inn
possible-when all these have over
taken the old, then the dregs are indeed
bitter. And then there is nothing for
it but the grand, brave dignity of pa
tience-the noble resignation which ac-
cepts the inevitable and makes the best
of bad conditions.
Patient old age always finds friends
and sympathizers. where the peevish
and the grumbler, like camphor atoms.
repel all with whom they come in con-
tact. When old age is selfish and re-
pining-thinlSing only of its past joys

patience is n natural virtue. and the
shrinking from annoyance is a natural
instinct, these young shrink from the
poor, soured old creature. whose talk Is
threnody and whose daily life is an
unwilling martyrdom.
They cannot console, and they feel
the jealousy which denies them sympa-
thy and gives them instead an angry
kind of reprobation. They suffer in the
cold and shadow Of q loveless and un-
sympathetic, a selfish and grasping age.
They would give love if they had love
to give them; but when they know that
the glory of their young days serves as
a text for unlindly comments and un-
sympathetic feeling, then they with
draw, and shrink, and fail to show those
sweet attentions which the young love
to show the old-if so be those dregs are
swallowed patiently and are not flung
as so much poison into the fresh faces
whose lips are red with the wine as yet
sparkling, foaming and unexhausted.

weeks ago. but was compelled to put
back TO Unalaska for repairs after hav-
ing broken two blades of her propeller,
has arrived here with 90 passengers and
about S2,5OOOOO in gold.
OF those who came down from Alaska
all but two are known to have money
but few were communicative enough TO
admit how much they had +. Hayes
of Portland was conceded to have the
largest individual amount. but upon be-
ing interviewed he would admit having
but S35 900.
All unite in confirming the stories al
ready told of the impending danger of
famine at Dawson City during the COM
ing winter. They say there are at least
1000 people now at Dawson City and
that more are swarming in every day.
but that the provisions are already run
ming short, and the prospects Of getting
more are remote. The Excelsior's pas
sengers are unanimous in the opinion
that the Klondike region is richer than
was at first supposed, but are also Of the
opinion that unless the immigration to
that country is stopped temporarily
there viii be terrible suffering.
Louis Sloss, Jr., of the Alaska Com
mercial company was one Of the pas
sengers on the Excelsior. He went to
Dawson City for the company and re-
ports that all the good claims are taxi
en- up.
There is no chance for the newcomers
unless a rich strike is made In some
other section. Mr.. Sloss says that his
companys store at Dawson was closed
for but one day to receive freight fSbm

will be scarce. but hesitates TO say there
will be actual starving.
There are about 300 impatient miners
at st. Michaels, most of whom win have
to stay until spring unless they have
already secured passage on the river
boats. There are plenty of provisions
at St. Michaels, and every effort is be-
ing made to get supplies up the river tc
