"A matter relating to the assign
ment of work at the Lick Observatory
with reference to the trial of the three
foot rejecting telescope presented to us

CTILIZIyG ALASKA.
Tho Klendike Craze Makes II Hard Worh-A
Siberian Capitalist

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-In his recent report
to the Bureau OF Education. DR.. Sheldon Jack
son, general agent. describes existing conditions
In Alaska, and makes a special plea for the prop
agation Of imported reindeer in view of the In
crease OF demand caused by the influx OF miners
to the Klondike.
DR.. Jackson says that twenty day schools are
maintained in Alaska by the Interior Depart
ment. with % teachers and 1,267 pupils. A pub
lie school was opened at Circle City In the
Yukon mining district, he says, but the Govern
ment authorities fear it will be necessary to
close it because OF the general exodus of the
city's population to the mining districts. My.
jackson refers in his report TO an interesting
old miner whom he saw when the steamer Bear
touched at Indian Point, Siberia, where the
trader Koharri lives. Mr.. Jackson says:
"He has a little frame whalehouse filled from
floor to ceiling with tobacco, -four. and looking
glasses. which he has obtained from the whHlcrB,
and from which he supplies tho country for hum
dreds OF miles around. This man has been
known to have MS much as ST5. 900 worth Of
whaiebone in his storehouse at ono time. He
docs a business of probably 800. 0OO a year, and
yet not u single coin OF gold or silver nor n single
bank note or bank check Is used. nor are any
books kept. All transactions are by barter. furs
-four, and wbiskey. This Wholesale merchant OF
the North Siberian coast can ueither read nor
write. nor can any one associated with him. AL
though so wealthy. he lives In an ordinary tent,
and sleeps ON the ground on q pile OF reindeer

POVERTY CAUSES SUICIDE.
wife OF . Puzzle Designer Poisons Herself with
Paris Green.

Mrs. Lavinia Harrison OF SO Washington place
killed herself yesterday with Paris green. Her
husband, William. had been out OF work for
months and their landlady had given them
notice to move, 80 she came to the conclusion
that she was only a burden on him. Accord
ingly, while he was away yesterday morning
looking for work, she took the poison. and when
he returned an hour or so later he found her
dying. She died soon after being removed to ST.
Nincent's Hospital.
Mrs. Harrison, who. like her husband. was
English. was 81 years old. Until about a year
ago her husband made a living by designing
picture puzzles such as are sold In toy shops
for children. Either his skill failed him or
competition became too fierce. for work grew
scarcer and scarcer. and Harrison found ii moro
and more difficult to sell his wares. Finally, o
few months ago, he gave up his puzzle design.
ing and went to work as a laborer for the Bar
bour Asphalt Paving Company. he lost this
Job about two months ago.
