Wear ON Her Lecture Tour.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Mary Ellen
Lease, the Kansas advocate of cur
rency and industrial reform, is in the
city making study Of various trades
in order to get fresh material for a
series of lectures which she. proposes
to deliver in New Jersey.
Mrs. Lease spent several days Wis
iting the headquarters of labor
unions. The strikers headquarters
on the East side were visited, as well
as the tenement houses and sweaters
homes
Mrs. Lease was very much shocked
at some of the things she saw. Moth
ing in her. experience among the farm
ers matched the woes of the East side
tenement denizens.
Unlike most reformers and agita-
tors. this woman of the people," as
she IS sometimes termed, is fond of
pretty gowns and always gets a new
stock when she comes to this city. One
oroered few days ago from a fash
1onable costumer in the model of ele-
gance. The gown is Of India silk.
White satin revers, heavily braided
with black, adorn the bodice and the
front is formed by a vest of cream
embroidered chiffon, crossed with
rows of very narrow lemon-colored
velvet ribbon. A large black hat
adorned with large ostrich plumes
completes very handsome attire.
People are wondering If the Jersey
farmers will note the contrast when
they hear this gorgeously attired lee
turer descanting on the woes of the
sweaters.

Completely Wreck the Printing Office
of the Bismarck Settler.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, N, D., Aug. 15.-The
office Of the Settler, owned by W. P.
Moffet, Of this city, was entered at
about o'clock this morning and
wrecked by unknown parties. The de-
struction Of the office material was
complete. The type was taken in cases
and loaded into a wagon that was
backed up to the back door, the forms
were pied and the contents carried
off, presses were smashed to pieces,
books were taken, and other articles
loaded into the wagon and carted off.
and from the trail of the wagon it is
evident they were thrown into the
river. A bicycle that was in the Of
flee was also taken, with other porta-
BILE property, and carried off or de-.
stroyed The job press was totally
ruined, and the newspaper press was
battered up, as with a heavy instru-
ment. The Office is practically a com
plete wreck and will have to be out
fitted anew before business can be re-
sumed. There is no clew to the per-
petrators of the deed. Noises were
heard by persons living in the vicinity
at about o'clock this morning, and
it is supposed that the deed was done
at that time.

ty. There was no disturbance of any
kind

digg1ngs and dry diggings, and that the
other alternate claims ere reserved for
the crown to be disposed of by public
auction or in such manner as may be
decided by the minister Of the interior.
The penalty for trespassing upon a
claim reserved for the crown is the
cancellation by the gold commission
of any entry or entries which the per-
son treSpasSing may have obtained,
whether by original entry or purchase,
for a mining claim, and the refusal by
the gold commission of the acceptance

trespassing may at any time make for
claims, and that in addition to such

steps to eject the trespasser.
VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 15.-There
were in Victoria this morning close
upon 1000 men of every class and from
every part Of the world, who were
crazy to get started on the long trip
to the new Eldorado.
These men had tickets which will
carry them to Skaguay bay on the big
collier Bristol, or on the steamer Island
er, both Of which sailed today. The
Bristol has been fitted with bunks and
stalls for. horses from the bottom of
her hold to the top of her cabin deck
and every bunk and stall is occupied,
close upon 500 men going on the Bristol
and just as many horses and mules.
The big collier is filed up, the
feed for these animals and the outfit
for the men taking up an immense
amount of space. The Islander has
just as big crowd, but much Of the
space on her is taken up by a contin-
gent of mounted police, their horses,
dogs and outfits. They realize that
they have a winters trip before them
before they reach Dawson City and
are taking dogs and sleighs.
Horses will be taken as far as pos
sible, and when they are Of no more
use, will be killed and used as food
for the dogs. A few of the men are
going up with the idea Of purchasing
cheap outfits from men who became
discouraged and are turning back; but
most of them are well provided and all
are taking pack animals, they having
in this respect taken the advice of the
men who went before and who have
written of the difficulty of securing
animals or Ind to pack goods across
the pass. E. Canovan, of Ottawa, who
was a member Of the Canadian boun-
daIy survey, in which capacity he
learned a good deal about Alaska, also
left on the Islander. Mr. Canovan is
going to look over the ground for the
Klondike Placer Mining and Prospect
ing company, Of Brantford and Paris,
Ontario. This company will send out
large party in the spring to prospect
and work claims in the Canadian Yu-
kon.
