He endeavored to rise, or, perhaps, to
descend, to the occasion as gracefully
as possible Having been introduced to
a number of young women, he tried to
make himself agreeable by explaining
some of the latest information in eth
nology, and he became so absorbed in
his discourse that he did not notice, UNI
til they were nearly all gone, that a
youth with nasal voice was winning
his audience away from him with a
funny song. He tried it again with
archaeology as the theme. A girl with
a banjo wrecked his ambitions. He
thought he was making some Roadway
by means Of his remarks on paleontol-
ogy, when man who took rabbit out
of silk hat eternally quenched his
pride.

While Treasurer of the Veterans
Home He Appropr lated the
Funds of That institution. 81

NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 1.-Colonel
Clark E. K. Royce, formerly treasurer of
the Soldiers Home at YountvilIe, CAL,
who once tried to end his life at the Bur-
lington Hotel, San Francisco, because of
a strange shortage, succeeded finally in
taking his life last night at the Grand
Union Hotel in this city. The deed was
done by inhaling illuminating gas. The
hotel is on Forty-second street and Park
avenue. No scrap of paper or anything
bearing his name was found on him, but
he had written his name and address
boldly on the register when he arrived
Tuesday last. His face was smooth shaven,
with tho exception of an iron-gray mus
tache.
He went to the hotel on Tuesday last
and spent the greater portion OF his time
about the corridors. He went out very
little and spoke to few persons. He was
last seen alive between 10 and IL o'clock
last evening, when ne retired to his room.
He was called as usual at s O. clock thi.
morning. but made no response. Another
boy went to the room at $3.50 O. clock,
when again he did not respond. The door
was burst open and Royce was found
lying in bed dead. He was fully dressed,
even 10 collar and necktie. He had taken
off mis- shoes and put on pair of fine-knit
bed slippers In his mouth was rubber
tube which was connected with the gas
iet 7 ne tube was new and had evidently
beer purchased with his last cent, as his
DC ket- book was empty save for bone
r-button. He was dressed extremely
well.
The colonel had said little about his
mission in this city. The last seen OF him
alive was last night, about clock, when
he was seen going through hallway OF
the hotel. He went 20 his room and did
not leave it. So far as is known he did not
write any letters during The night. None
were mailed by him through any messen-
ger or empioye of the hotel, and it could

establishing his identity. Excsp. for the

to give clew TO his name. As the hotel

FAMINE AND A FREEZE.
1t Is Said That No More Boats VIII
Be Able to Reach Dawson
This Year.

:UNALASKA, :: ALASKA, Sept. % (via
steame North Fork To Tacoma, Oct. /. r.
Last n light the steam schooner North Fork
reached this harbor from St. Michael,
having left there on the 10th and this
evening will steam out Tor Puget Sound.
She came in for water and coal having
but seventy tons OF iuel on board, which
is barely sufficient under fayora bic weather
10 carry her 10 Seattle. Captain Bash,
the master, used ali his persuasive powers
to induce either. the Alaska Com mmerciai
Company or North American CONNER
cfal Com pany TO take on fifteen to thirty
tons OF fuel. During the entire morning
bis efforts were unavailing, but it en-
phasized the predicted coal famine here
suggested in my letter two or three days
ago. Captain Bash was in a ouandary
and decided not to start for sea until a
supply OF coal was received here.
Not wishing to delay his vessel and pas.
sengers for an indefinite period the North
American Company finally reIented and
agreed to give him the few tons necessary
to make the trip to Tacoma. Here the
schooner will coal up and take on a cargo
of lum ber for 5 IN Francisco.
On board the North Fork are thirty-four
returning prospeetors, thoroughly discour-
aged at their inability to proceed up the
Yukon 20 Dawson this season. OF this
number thirteen were passengers north
on the Hum boIdt, ten of them having as
sisted in building barge. Three wentup
on the Merwin, while seventeen were of
the mum ber who went up the river on the
Hamilton as lar as Minook Creek and
then decided to return on her. Professor
Richardson Of Seattle is another passen-
ger, he having gone into Dawson via Dyea
and came out by way OF st. Michael.
From such information as could he
cleaned the indications Of an early free ze
on the Yukon are substantiated. Grave
iears are expressed lest several of the
boats from Dawson get frozen in long be-
foIe they reach the mouth. Interviews
with the men on the North Fork Indicate
without question that the liquor traffic On
the Yukon has been strong factor in the
shortage of supplies OF nearly all the
steamers that have reached Dawson CITY
this summer nearly half the cargo has
consisted OF liquor. The feeling among
the miners at. Dawson has become Sc
strong that the Healy, after leaving St.
Michael about the 1st OF Septem ber. when
about TO start up the river received this
tip from the officials OF the N. A. I. Co. !.
