Few matters are of more Importance
than the selection of a school you wish to
attend or send your children, as such Sc

necessary to increase its facilities and to
that end 1t will occupy the entire third
floor and portion of the second floor OF

From the San Diego Times.

From the San Diego Times.
An interesting letter telling of the recent
trip of the steamer Excelsior to Alaska has
the steamer to a friend In San Diego. He
says:
'The word Klondike means deer river,
and is called Reindeer river on the charts.
II emptles into the Yukon fifty miles above
the big river. Bonanza creek dumps into
Klondlke about two miles above the Yu-
kon. Eldorado IS a tributary of the Bo-
nanza- There are numerous other creeks
and tributaries, the main river being 800
miles long The gold so far has been
taken from Bonanza and Eldorado, both
well named, for the richness of the placers
Is truly marvellous. Eldorado, thirty
miles long, is staked the whole
length, and so far as worked has paid
AS each claim is 500 feet along the creek
bed, there is 100000 TO the claim. SO
uniform has the output been that one min
er who has an interest In three claims
told me that If offered his choice he would
toss up to decide. One of our passengers,
who is taking 81, 600 with him, has worked
100 feet of his ground and refused 5000
for the remainder, and confidently expects
to clear up 100000 and more He has in
a bottle $212 from one pan of dirt His
pay dirt, while being washed, averaged
$3.50 a hour to each man shovellng in. Two
others of our miners who worked their
own claims cleared up $4,000 from the days
washing. There Is about fifteen feet of
dirt above bedrock, the pay streak averag-
ing from four to six feet, which is tun-
neled out while the ground Is frozen. OF
course, the ground taken out is thawed by
building fires, and when the thaw comes
and water rushes in they set their sluices
and wash the dart. Two of our fellows
thought small bird In the hand worth a
large one in the bush, and sold their claims
for $4,000, getting $4,000 down, the remain
der to be paid in monthly nstallments of
$4,000 each The purchasers had no more
than 5000 paid. They were twenty days
thawing and getting out dirt. Then there
was no water to sliuce with, but one fell
low made a rocker, and In ten days took
out the $4,000 for the first instalment. So
tunneling and rocking, they took out $40,-
900 before there was water TO sluice with.

story of Aladdin. but fiction is not IN It

Ate PiIls for q Wager.
From the New York Times.

Decatur, Enthusiastically morning A.
Vanatta, F. Morrison and e. Kohn, boys
of Wiltshire, neighboring town, were dis
cussing their pill-eating propensities,
when they decided to lay a wager as to
who could eat the most pills without stop
ping, the winner to take the purse. The
boys then began their task, and when
they had finished 1t was found that Van
alta had eaten twelve, Morrison thirteen
and Kohn sixteen.
After some time the boys began to get
SICK and friends summoned doctors 10
their relief. Vanatta had just recovered
from a recent Illness and was very weak.
He was soon taken With convulsions and
died last night in terrible agony. The
other two are now unconscious and little
hope is entertained for their recovery.

baltimore and Boston continue to see

The latter team, however, has played five
more games than Baltimore has. Boston

If Years, and it grows in interest every

climbs keep so close together.
IT is remarkable what an interest is
taken in the big league in Savannah. The
Morning News Office is besieged with in
ouiries all night long for the results of
the days games. Only the scores of
the two leading clubs are asked for,
though the Giants game is sometimes in

which club has the most followers.
New York has had pretty good week.
hut the Giants chances for better than
third position are none, and their only
hope is to finish as high up as possible.
Cincinnati is still on a decline, but can
hardly finish worse than fourth. Cleveland
is still in fifth place.
The surprise of the week has been the
lump of Washington. The Senators leaped
from eleventh to sixth position in the last
six days and they are now ending up the
first division. Washington played nine
games last week, and only lost one. Chica-
go has dropped into the second division.
Brooklyn remains in eighth position, but
Pittsburg has gone up one. and Philadel-
phia down a peg. Louisville took big
slide and went from the top of the second
division to next to last place. Seven de-
feats in a week was the record of the Col
ouels.

clubs to date, including yesterdays games.

LOST A WATCH.
Had 1t Taken From His Person
While Asleep in Bay Lane.

dau III Iuheh from HIS PERSON
While Asleep in Bay Lane.
S. A. Atchison, a resident of Monte,
Emanuel county, called at police barracks
late last night and presenting a watch
chain. reported that some one had stolen
the $S5 watch which had been thereto at
tached. He Is a farmer and had been Wis
iting the saloons along Bay street till he
was not exactly at himself Becoming
weary of walking he strolled into Bay
street lane, near the Western Union tele-
graph Office, where he sat down and soon
fell asleep Upon awaking ne felt for his
watch to see how long he had been snooz-
ing in the lane, when, to his amaZement,
he found that the $50 solid gold ticker was
not with him, as he had been relieved of
it by some lSnave while he slept.
The only persons around when Atchison
awoke, he said were three of the Western
Union messenger boys His first idea was
that the boys had relieved him of the
watch, which, however, they strenuously
denied. Without stopping to investigate
further Atkinson proceeded at once to the
police barracks, where he reported his
loss. The detectives will take the case in
hand and endeavor to recover the watch.
Mr.. Atkinson will leave this morning for
his home, and while he will carry less
wealth than he had when he came to Sa,
vannah, yet he has doubtless acquired
even more than $50 worth of experience.

The following is the standing of the

The game between Hipklns' and Kren-
sons teams at the park yesterday after
noon lasted until the fifth inning, when it
was called on account of rain. The score
was to in favor of Hipkips' side, but as
five innings had not been played 1t was
not counted a game.
\ Krenson's team went to bat first and
scored one run in the first inning. Hip
kins' boys piled up four runs in the first
three of which were made on errors.
Krenson's team scored another run in the
fourth inning.
The game, while it lastel. was very
good exhibition, and, had the nine innings
been played, it would have been a battle
Of pitchers. The teams were pretty evenly
made up though two of Krenson's regular
players were not out, which somewhat
weakened his team The work of both
pitchers was good. Krenson struck out
seven men in four innings, which is a re-
markedly good record.
