president of the supreme court OF Vlr-
ginia as law student. In 1916 he was
admitted to the bar and two years
later was elected first prosecuting at
torney of Writ county. About this
time he became prominent in politics,
and in 1852 and 1853 he was elected a
member of the state legislature from
Wood county. He won a high reputa-
ton as a public speaker and debater
during these campaigns and in 1852,
1S6 and 1860 was one of the Wing
electors.
In 1860, when secession was urged,
one of the most eloquent and forceful
voices lifted against the step was that
of Judge Jackson, then young law
yer, but a popular politician. rms
caused him to be ostraciZed by MS
former friends, and even by his family,
for nearly all of his relatives, includ-
ing the famous "Stonewalr' Jackson,
were on the Southern side. So he
naturally became affiliated with the
Republican party, and as reward Tor
his courage and faithful service he
was appointed to the position he now
holds.
In the reconstruction days, when the
West Virginianss protested so loudly
against the rule of the 'carpetbag-
gers Judge Jackson again joined
hands with his neighbors. and ever
since has been with the Democratic
party. During the thirty-six years
which he has served on the bench he
has frequently been called upon to
make decisions which required great
personal courage While at an adj
yanced age he is still sound and vigor-
Gus in both mind and body.

gagement to the duke of Manchester

Wilson family. to which her mother

Her brother will be far richer than
she, however. He will inherit much

by Peter Goelet, which extended from
near the site Of the present Windsor
hotel to the East river. Eldridge T.

farm. The Goelet farm increases in

Special Correspondence Of the Globe
NEW YORK, Sept. According to
a conservative compilation made here
of the announced kintentions Of jour-
neying to the Klpndike regions next
spring, more than 400. 900 persons have
determined to court fortune in this
manner. Estimating that only rs per
cent of these will maintain this frame
of mind up to. next May or June. this
will leave $4,000 Would-be Klondikers
who will voyage in some manner to
the land of gold. This is only a mini
mum estimate.
All the Klondike tales and prepara-
ton stories thus far have practically
come from the West, but the scene Of
activity has to a certain extent been
transferred to the East, for the rea-
son that from. this section must large
ly proceed the tide Of emigration Of
another year. A great proportion Of
the gold seekers who have already gone
were residents of the West-men who
did not have the expensive journey
from the East to take into consider4-
ton; a fact which is Of no little i'm

is now, according to a paper which l
got at the interior department this
afternoon, the entry fee for each claim
will be SIS, and for every year after
the first year the government will de-
mand rental of $1O0 apiece for the
claims. This is without regard to the
amount which the claims produce.
Then there is the royalty Of 10 per
cent for all gold mined and of 20 per
cent for all claims which run over $500
per week. This means that in case Of
any big strike the Canadian govern
ment is bound to get one-ffth of it,
and that without doing any work ex-
cept collecting the amount due them.
The provision that the claims be
worked continuously is a very hard
one. If claim is left idle for more
than three days it is considered aban-
doned and may be jumped, and there
are other regulations as to fees by
which Canada will squeeze money out
of the miners in different ways. L do
not say that these provisions are made
as retaliation to the tariff, but it is

The Lone Woman Traveller.

A recent issue of Fashions" an IL
Illustrated monthly journal for women,
has an interesting article on women
travelling alone, in which, after refer
ring to the block signal system, AMI
other safety devices for which the
New York Central is celebrated, this
statement is made:
IF the lone woman happens to be
going to New York City, she need have
no dread of landing alone in the con-
fusion of a big. strange place, if she
travels by the New York Central. All
she has to do is to speak to one OF
the red-capped attendants-free serv-
ice-who will carry her bag, answer
her questions and show her to cab
car, or elevated train.
Another thing, she lands right il
the heart of the city, within ster
of a dozen or more of its leading no
tels-and she should bear in mind thai
this is the only railroad depot in al
New York City.

OTTAWA, Canada, Sept. Al write

as much land on this side of the At

California away from the United
States, the two countries would be
about the same size, and in this 1

British part of the North American
continent is a very valuable piece of
property. There are millions of acres
of wheat land which have not been
opened up, and there is a large agri-
cultural region which has not yet been
penetrated by railroads. The Canadi-
ans cannot understand why it is that

the majority will unquestionably be

The slump in silver has unquestion-
ably caused a great many practical
miners to decide on Klondtke trip.
With the value Of silver dollar how

the silver mines will not increase, and
while there is small probability of this

father in England, becomes probably

FEW CANDIDATES..
Not Many VIII Take the Civil Serv-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-The reg
ular fall civil service examinations
throughout the country for all classes
of government offices will muster only
about quarter or third of the usual
number Of candidates. This is tho
prediction made by the civil service
commission, and Chief Examiner Ser
ven attributes this falling off to the
unusual number of applicants exam
ined during the spring, when high
water mark was reached, the number
of applicants examined then being an
increase of 100 per cent over the pre-
ceding fall or spring. This rush was
due to the change Of administration
and the civil service extension made
by President Cleveland. AS a result,
and in view of an inadequate examin-
ing force, the commission is far in ar
rears in marking the papers, and, A.
900 of them, all submitted during the

Gle Sam gets the bulk of the foreigners,
and Canada, after all these years, has
now only about one-ffteenth as many
people as we have. She has, all told,
only about 100000 by the census of
1891, and her population is creeping up
ward slower than the pace of tor
toise up a mountain road. 1 have met
a dozen different Canadians who have
said to me that their day had come,
now that the United States was filled
up. If So its sun is not bright enough
yet to show the world the fact Times
are as hard here as in the United
States, money is tight and wages are
lower.
THEY ARE MAD AT TARIFF.
The Canadians do not like the new
tariff. I have not heard one friendly
word in favor of the Mckinley gov
eminent since [ came here. 1 called
on a high official this afternoon. and
asked him for some fact about Canadi-
an trade, saying that this letter would
be read in every part of the United
states. lie repli6Q
81 don't care a blank for the United
States. I don't want to spread news
concerning Canada in the United
States. The two countries should have
less to do with each other than ever

Great Britain, and we will make a
market there for our products instead
of sending them to you. We are al

The lumber men are especially angry
Rt the tariff. Canada is big lumber
market. Her forest productions are
Estimated to be worth $80000,000 a
gear, and almost half of this is export
ed. She has the bulk of the wood left
on this continent and big part of
her income has been from the logs and
lumber shipped across to the United
States. The new tariff practically kills
this industry, as it does also that of
the wood pulp mills, which, [ am told,
have been furnishing a large part of
the printing paper used by our news
papers. These things make the people
very bitter, and it is largely due to
them that the rigid regulations in re-
gard to mining on the Klondike are
being adopted.
CANADA AND KLONDIKE.
Speaking of the Klondike, Canada
proposes to hold every inch of gold ter
ritory she can for her own uses. There
is no sympathy here whatever with
American miners, and the regulations
will be further restricted if the gold
output proves to be as large as it has
been represented. The size of the
claims will be reduced and additional
percentages may be demanded. AS it

manual toll is second nature, to the
daintily nurtured feminine whose
brain has hitherto furnished her with
employment They will be the women
who will make or mar the new coun-
try, for the probabilities are that a
large per cent of those who go with
the idea of merely making some money
and then returning to places of great
er civilization will find ample reasons
for making the Klondike permanent
homes.
This tremendous rush of humanity
to the gold fields which has been out
lined will necessarily be over largely
the same routes that have heretofore
been utilized. Plans are now making,
however, which will result in the roads
of today being made far more pass
able. BY another year your railroads
will have been surveyed and the work
thereon commenced. Then will much
of the terror which now surrounds the
Journey be removed. The members Of
the Klondike army of 9S, however,
must make up their minds to journey
without the aid of the iron horse.

includes 2,255 relating to the railway

arrearage has been a great factor in
