A correspondent writing from Alas
ka says there are ''b gger i1ars IN tne
klondyke country than there are in
the Internal regions" Can it be pos
sble the morning Times has sent
representative to that country:
The Hook aud Ladder company
team aud Hose company's ono y team,
will cross bats at Sportsman park
next Saturday afternoon to test the
supremacy Of the two teams. From
present appearances il looks as though
the hooks will have the best OF the
game as they have numb Der OF eXper-
fenced ball players on their SIDE, while
many Cf tie hose cOmpany's men VINO
intended to play cannot do so on &C
count OF the game occurring on Satur-
day.
There is a religious fanatic in this
town that l. growing worse every day
II -. Ofure he has been harmless and
quiet, pended his fapa. ism in trips to
the noun aims, where he devoted
several hours to prayer. or late he
has been more aggressive in his rell-
eiOn and has b5en 81 ting himself up a
new Messiah and has gone so far as to
make the assertion that for the re-
d amption of the world several Ell Pa-o
children viii have to be sacri ficed.
These assertions may have been maze
with no serious intentions, but sthelr
fanatical ass ,rtions have often been
carried out to the letter and it would
be we'll to watch the actions of this
man.
1t would be we'll for the officers to
keep a strict watch On the dance halls
and see that they are carried on in a
legal manner. A gentleman reported
last night that a number of young boys
have begun frequenting these places OF
late and cut up all kinds of capers at
the dances. The old hardened sinners
who frequent the dance halls cannot be
injured by the company they come in
contact with at such places, but it is
| the boys who become regular attend
ants of the dives VINO may have their
| lives marred or who may commit some
| breach of the peace that would put
them under the ban of decency all
the balance of their days. 1t would be
we'll for the police to chase all young
| boys out of such places.
| 1t seems that Consul Buford at Jua-
reZ bas b. en- miStakened some where
| in his records and lost his bearings.
| He msde the assertion to frlend on
| this side of the river some time ago
| that he was safe in his position and
| would rot be removed. President Nc
Kinley however took different view
| of the matter and yesterday appointed
! q republican as his successor 1t does
| look tough that man that had become
accustomed to craving large salary
in this beautiful climate has to go
out seeking q new job in china e
where in summer they suicide on ac-
count of the heat and in winter they
freeze to death on account of the short
n s. OF fuel The political ways of this
country are tough and cold and 1t
| is hard for a Cleveland democrat to
understand why he should be turned
out of Office after he thought he had a
cinch on it for life time.
s'Red" Sullivan is now doing land
office business in rushing fishing par
ties up To Cauutillo. Fish have been
reported as plentiful ia that locality
and parties are out continually angling
for the tinny trlbe. Red" is peach
in directing part es to the right spot
and in telling them how to catch the
fish after they get there. If they don t
catch tish they have a goJd time any
way and are always satisfied with the
trip.
The election today was dull and I'M
eventful and the fifth ward never got
on 10 the move until it was too late to
get in their votes.
There was matinee yesterday on a
street. car near F'iunigans hi e house
between two prom nenG CITY officials
and the stteeJ car driver. The two
Officials entered the car up town and
rode as far as the b de house where
they started to aiigut. but just as they
were in the act the driver tackled them
for their fare. This angered the Off
Gals and a war of words started which
edded in one of the officials hitting the
driver dnd knocking him off the plat
form. Toe driver put on his blinking
cap and then started after the official
VINO nit him, but the official had then
left the car and started to walk towards
town. The names OF the par
ties do noV appear on the dOcket in the
police court.
