were only seven imported cases Of yellow
fever In the city, and that they had been

to wait until the condition should become

food. There Is q sullcn note In the de-

rum to miners who want bread. The
doors OF the trading companies stores ut
Dawson were closed and barred on July

Unshcltered Dawson has mild epidemic
OF typhoid fever and few have died for

money could not buy. There has not been
licensed physicians enough TO care for the

s.urces o. Gutta percl,a.

Gutta percba, like india rubber, is OBJ
sained from the juices Of certain trees
and climbers. The best is produced by a
tree, the Isonandra gutta, Of the order
Sapotacee, which formerly abounded
at Singapore and in all Malaysia, but
which now tends to disappear under
the rayages committed by gatherers.
Gutta, in Malay, signifies gum or lime;
percha signifies scrap. Incisicns arc
made in the bark, as on rubber trees,
and the liquor flows Of perfect white
ness, darkening at contact Of air. Coag-
ulation takes place spontaneously in
short time. Like rubber, the liquid
forms a film on top. This cream is re-
moved, kneaded into a large lump and
pumped into boiling water. Under the
action of high temperature it softens
aud forms the cake usually found in
commerce. Other trees in Malaysia and
farther India, in Cambodia and Cochin
China, produce good gutta.
In Hindustan different grades are
mixed by the natives Chinese mer-
chants, IN their depots, nix and manip-
ulate to give a good superficial appear
ance to the product, as the price is con-
stantly advancing As the gatherers al
so do not scruple to add vegetable de-
bris, earth or sand, it has become diff
cult to secure a pure article. An inferi-
or quality is obtained from trees and
climbers in Africa and Madagascar,
and, with the development of those
countries, more may be expected. -

To the Editor Of the Evening journal
Sir: II. 3. Vandegrlft should be con-
graduated upon his good taste In Sc
lecting bouquets for the railway men
on Sundays. The appearance OF the
men for the last week shows that they
have one over them who is particular
himself and wishes those in his employ
TO be the same. They appreciate his
kindness more than he has an idea OF,
and he has their most hearty thanks.
He is careful in selecting his men,
and rot too hasty in discharging them.
The system with which the cars are
run speaks for itself, and proves they
have a leader who knows what he is
doing Messrs. Lea and Hutchings are
more than attentive. trying to accom-
modate the public. as are the dispatch
ers at Eighth and Market streets, who
cross the extra cars TO the best ad-
vantage in getting the crowds OF peo-
pie to and from Shellpot' with safe and

It's idle time more pleasantly by taking

POWERFUL DEVIL FISH.

Dne Towed Launch, which Was Back
Ing Water at Speed OF Six Knots.
y The. Sportsmen's Review tells OF the
strength OF the devil fish, which are
caught regularly as a pastime at only.
one point on the gulf. The fishermen
of Naples on the Gulf OF Mexico fish for
the devil fish and get them.
"Col. Bob Holloway" according to
the Review, was fishing for the mon
sters with a party of friends, from a
naphtha launch, when they had strike.
The launch was 25 feet long and con-
tanned ten persons. This the fish towed
around for an hour, attaining a speed OF
six knots at times, in spite of the fact
that the propeller Of the launch was
backing. The whole fight was in sight
OF the hotel guests, who had assembled
to see the battle between fin and pro-
peller. When the animal was finally
tired out and towed ashore it required
six men to drag it out. On propping its
mouth open salt barrel could have
been rolled into IL. It measured % feet
from wing tip to wing tip"
Another Naples fish story follows:
Mrs. Hugh Mcdonald was fishing for
sharks. She had a bite. On pulling in,
the head of n shark that had been at
least four feet long was found. Some
shark had bitten the first capture in
two. Later the big fellow was hooked
by Mrs. McDohald and was pulled in
The second shark was more than II
feet long"

CountersIrn on the Trontler.

Web Wilder recites in his Annals of
Kansas" that in 1853, when the first tide
Of New England settlers began to drift
hitherward, the Missourians tied COW
to each crossing of the Missouri river.
When an immigrant arrived at the
crossing he was certain to make some
remark about the animal, and if he
said "cow" he was suffered TO cross, but
If he said "keow" he was hustled back
east and out of the country as bloody
minded abolitionist. In retaliation for
this it is said the Kansas fellows tied
bear on their side of the river, and
when an immigrant crossed who called
it bear" he was welcomed with open
arms, but the fellow who called it bar"
was scooted back into Missouri as an un-
welcome slavery advocate.
