Clarence King, formerly chief of the United States Geological Survey, says: 'The time is not far distant when a man can start out of Denver and trav el to the Klondike, stopping every night at mining camp. Already two Amer ican stamp mills are pounding away on the borders of the Straits of Magel Ian, and the day is approaching when a chain of mining camps will extend from Cape Horn to St. Michaers I believe we are about to enter upon a century which will open up vast re- sources, and will be the grandest the earth has ever known. Before the end of the twentieth century the traveller will enter a sleeping-car at Chicago bound via Behring Straits for St. Pet ersburg, and the dream of Governor Gilpin will be realized"

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving memory of our dear mother
ELIZABETH Il. SWAMI who departed this
life June 2sth, 1894, three years ago Friday
last. Gone but ever remembered by her loved
ones.
Can it be three years dear mother,
That we We mourned for thee;
But how we miss thee dear mother,
Thy sweet voice hath fed.
yobly at her post she fell,
With heart so kind and true,
Beloved by all her friends so well,
And kind 10 all she know.
Who stood the storm when winds were
rough
But in sunny hour, did fall
Like ships gone down to sea,
When skies were all tranquility.
Farewell, farewell our mother dear.
We have spent three ssd and longing years,
You have left US with an aching heart
The hour that you and we did part.
You are not forgotten, mother dear,
Nor will you ever be,
For as long as life and memory last,
We will remember thee
By HER CHILDREN.

The return game between Charlotte Hall
and La Plata teams which was played on the
latter's grounds Monday last terminated in
deieat fer the Charlotte Hall boys by score
OF Is to 6. However, as only five OF the vis-
tor's regular men were on hand, it would
hardly be giving justice to the Charlotte Hall
nine to class the said team with the ''make-
! NM that faced the La Plata boys last Mon
day. Captain Harrison, of the visiting team,
kexpected all of his men to have been here, but
owing to the fact of school having closed some
days ago, it seems rather difficult task for
\ him to concentrate his forces at any particu-
| lar point. The game began nevertheless at
"A 30 P. NJ. and continued for two hours 1t
was quite Interesting and largely attended.
! The Charlotte Hall boysiseem to be very popu-
Mar in this neighborhood and it was some
what surprise to those who witnessed the
game 10 see the home team administer such
a Leayy dose TO the visitors, as this was the
first defeat they have met for four years and
in fact they do not score this upon their
record as such. Harrison 5 for the visitors
pitched interior ball and was poorly snpport-
ed by the outhelders, while Switzerland, for
the home team, pitched In his usual good
style. Mitchell put up n good all around
game, while Harrison F., for the visitors and
HALEY for the home team, made some beauti-
full hits. The game was void of any kicking
and everything passed of very smoothly
Score by innings was:
Charlotte, Hall 0 3 0 90 o. 6.

The Bryantown and Mechanicsville junior
mines will meet on neutral grounds for game

The governor then continues:

main as We are, yet my better judg-
