James Hamilton Lewis Is the new meteor who has
flashed across the House, He is an interesting and
picturesque figure.
Mr.. Lewis looks like q fashion plate. He wears q
long frock coat that reaches TO his ankles. brown
trousers, patent leather shoes. q high collar, a now-
ing necktie. and yellow gloves. His hair falls over his
forehead like a hayrlck that has been tossed by cattle.
and discioses an incipient bald spot on the summit OF
his Uranium, His yellow whiskers are fearful and
wonderful things. They spread out on both sides OF
his face In reckless ~profusion. and are parted In the
middle with evident care.
Mr., Lewis has another claim to glory besides his
clothes. He Is without doubt the fastest taIker in the
House. Hitherto the spare and sinewy johnson OF
Indiana has held the palm. but Lewis can talk him to
a stahdstilI. At the rate Of 800 words a minute the
words poured from his lips yesterday. 1t would not
be a proper simile TO say that they were like q torrent,

Du saaurier'a Love or Dogs-

From HdrptT's weekly.
Du MAurter loved dogs. as we all do who arc nor
mally constructed. His pictures are good evidence on
this point, and one of the conspicuous ornaments of
his Hampstead house was the skin OF his huge New
foundland pet. One day. while taking his fa~vorito
walk o. out the Heath. he saw u gathering OF peo-
pie on the borders of the shallow pond which is o par
ticular attraction to Hampstead. A thin coating OF
ice covered the water. excepting where a little dog
had broken through and was Intellectually struggling
to get out again. The ice was. however. so weak that
whenever this little creature drew its front paws up
over the edge 1t broke under its weight. and forced
him TO repeat this painful operation again and again.
until 1t looked as though the poor animal would be-
come exhausted in its efforts.
Du Maurier was in delicate health at the time. and
knowing that the water was nowhere moro than
three feet deep. called TO the idlers in the crowd.
"Here's half a crown for the man who fetches that
dog ashore!'' The oner was not accepted; at least.
despite the doctor. into the pond rushed Du Maurter.
breaking his way through the thin ice until he reached
the drowning doggie, which he seized In his arms and
brought ashore amid the cheers OF the bystanders.
His only thought now was to run home rapidly in
order TO prevent q chill. He was overtaken, however.
by a man who pressed him TO accept a piece OF money
by way OF regard. Du Maurter declined. with thanks.
and pressed on with renewed vigor. The man. how
ever. would not be discouraged in his charitable in.
%tention, but repeatedly urged our artist to accept q
tip for his trouble. The annoyance at length grew
beyond even Du Maurier's fondness for q Joke. for the
well-meaning patron insisted upon putting q tip into
Du Maurier's hands while he was fumbling for his
door key on the front steps OF his own house.
Between this and the miserable chilliness of his
garments Du Maurcr finally forgot that courtliness
which was his distinguishing mark, and snapped out.

Their intention is to be in Seattle early

to meet Eastern capitalists and submit
these propo itions, showing unquestion-

will prove very good thing for Juneau,
going far to maintain this town as the
business center for all mining operations
in this part of Alaska.
Both the Bald Eagle and Sumdum Chief
companies have just struck very rich

ners Bay are surprising their previous
rich outputs. 1t has been stated that
there would be upward of a hundred
quartz mills between Juneau and Seattle
before five years have elapsed, and the
present prospects and activity in mining
circles would indicate that such a con-
dition Will be fully realized.

that travel can be resumed, don't start for
this point expecting to get oyer for 1t least
thirty days, as it will take that long after
the trail IS completed to get all the miners
over who are now thsre. There would
never have been so much trouble for
small parties, but the swarm of people,
95 per cent of whom were tenderfeet and
knew nothing abou. packing and noun

gestion at this point.
The first reports about this trail were
inspired by interested parties who are
trying to start a town here and are also
engaged in the whisky business. There
are not nearly as many discouraged pros
pectors selling their outfits for song as
has been reported, but good many who
have started for the Klondike have given
up that idea and have turned townsite

buildings and are esta blishing themselves

Mr.. ~CCCHRAN'S PROPHECY.

These Republican journalists who
are now loud in the assertion that the
Democratic victory in New York has
no bearing upon the political future
of the nation are respectfully referred
to the following extract from the
powerful speech made by Bourke
Cochran to a vast meeting Of Repub-
licans held in New York City three
days before the election:
Ny friends, Your Chairman has
pointed out to you that the national
issue is virtually involved III this
l am aware that 1t is the
fashion among a large and s~elt-sutti-
cient part of the population to insist
that national issues have no place in
this canvass: that the city of New
York, the capital and the glory of the
United State, can SeCede from the
officers. There never yet vas an
election in any important division OF
the United States that did not eXer-
else a moral effect in every square
foot Of territory within the Union.
And by the result here in New York
on next Tuesday will the future pros
poets of Organism be fixed IN the
minds of the American people. The
contest bears directly upon the

The machine when all sickles are in
