ENTERTAIN THE OLD LADIES.
Delightful Programme Given at the
Home on seventh street.

The inmates Of the Old Ladies' Home,
on Seventh street, were particularly
pleased last night with an entertainment
arranged for their special benefit under
the direction of Mr. j. Sebastian Raj
ferty, the organist at the Cathedral. Mr.
Rafferty, was assisted in his efforts TO
please the old ladies by a number of his
musical friends, and the programme con-
tanned the old, old songs and airs OF
long ago, which 1t could easily be seen
touched tender chords OF memory in the
hearts of the eager listeners, who loudly
applauded them.
Such old-time songs as Then You'll
Remember Me-" "Do Not Forget" AN
ME Laurie" and others Of that Tx were
sung by Miss Josephine Murphy and by
Mr.. James Holloran. The Tony Miller
Quartette, composed Of Messrs. Tony Mil
Ter. Robertson, Wallace. and Neal with
violins and banjo, played a number OF
old Virginia airs. and the concert was
brought TO a close with plano duet by
Miss Matte Pegram and Mr.. j. 5. RAT
ferty.
The old ladies and their guests were
fairly enthusiastic over the entertain
ment. which was voted most delightful
and successful.

Steamer Queen.
DIFFICULTIES 10 BE ENCOUNTERED.
Police Compel All to Turn BACK
Who Have Not a supply OF
proyisions Sufficient to
last Year.

Tacoma, WASH, Aug. 3.-The steam-
er Queen, which arrived from Alaska
Monday afternoon, brought word that
the mounted police Of the Northwest
territory are meeting all people bound
for the Yukon country at the British
line, beyond White and juneau passes,
and compelling all who have not
years supply of provisions to return
to the coast. But few of the fortune
seekers who have left Tacoma and the
Sound within the last few weeks for
Dyea or Skaguay had crossed the passes
into the interior when the Queen left
Dyea, July 2s. The first pack train
over White Pass was expected back at
there. Rev. Alfred Hummer, of Oak
land, CAL, went ashore at Skaguay and
reports that he was told by two men
there it would cost $500 to have their
supplies, weighing 1000 pounds, car
ried over the pass. Mr.. Hummer and
Capt. Carroll, of the steamer, warn
everyone not to attempt to enter the
Yukon country before next spring. The
captain says not even those who are
now at Skaguay or Dyea will be able
to reach the interior this winter, prin-
cipally because supplies cannot be got-
ten over the passes. Indians are hard
at work packing and all the horses
available are pressed into service. Men
can pack, they say, but rs pounds one
way and the round trip is 72 miles.
The Queen reports 400 people camped
at Skaguay bay and so at Dyea. They
are unable to get goods taken into the
lakes, MS the packers cannot handle
the business. There will be terrible
crush there when the boats which left
here after the Queen, seven in num-
ber, arrive. 1t is safe to say that not
half the men will get away from Ska
quay bay this year, and even with the
large number of horses on the way
up, 1t will be impossible to handle all
the freight
