clad only in a night gown and seemed

streets and the police notified of her
whereabouts. The patrol wagon was
sent up there and the woman taken TO
the Holy Gross hospital. She could
give no account OF herself. but after a
great deal OF questioning it was learned
that she was Mrs. Gui5hner. a short
time ago she was taken sick and in
her deIirium she arose from her bed
last night and wandered away. She
will be kept at the hospital until hef.

one of the three Klondikers who ar
rived in this city on the steamer Ma
tional City, states that the Excelsior

BEST ROAD TO KLoNDIKE.
All Canadian Route Is Preferable to
Others

Victoria, 3. c., Sept. s.-Discussing a
route to the Yukon. DR.. Dawson OF
the Dominion geological survey said
that from measurements taken by him
at the mouth of the river. which would
indicate that the Hootalinqua is Of
great volume, and from reports fur
nished by the Indians it seems more
than probable that beyond danger Of
low water being encountered at certain
seasons of the year there should not
be any serious hindrance to navigation,
and this opinion is borne out by the
published report of MIR. Hays of the
United States geological survey. The
latter gentleman, who went to Teslin
lake from Taku inlet, has furnished
some valuable and reliable data upon
this point, and from his statements
DR.. Dawson is strongly of the opinion
that the all Canadian route, via Tele-
graph creek. thence to Lake Teslin and
the Hootalinqua river may be looked
upon as being not only feasible, but
actually preferable to any of the many
routes to the mines.

The restoration Of the .Borgia rooms
In the vatican il an undertaking which
will long scrve to preserve the memory
Of Leo XIII. as patron Of art, says "a
London exchange. These six noble
chambers, situated above the famous
stanzc of Raphael. were built in 14oa
by Alexander vi. OF unhallowed rcnown.
The first, named the hall of the pom
tiffs, had been Grated in the time
of Leo Y. cftcr Raphael's designs. On
the walls of the three next Pinturicchio
painted the Iinest OF his frescoes, and
one chamber contained the "Aldobran-
DIM Marriage Feast" which is supposed
TO supply a link with classical art. Bene-
detto Bonfillo took up his masters brush
to complete the adornment of the last
two apartments. This sumptuous suite
served MS home for the popes until
Sixtus V. and Clement VIII. constructed
the existing palace. During the sack of
Rome by Constable de Bourbon much
damage was done to the Borgia quarter,
which has been practically abandoned
until to-day. Unhappily. the mural
paintings in only two of the rooms have
been found in state admitting of re-
pair. Elsewhere it has been necessary to
renew the decorative work as far as pos
sible on the original lines.

Debt. DELAYED M. nurl.l.

The case Of burial long delayed has
recently come to light at Revel, a Rus
sian town near the Gulf of Finland. The
body thus tardily inferred was that of
Belgian soldier of fortune, the Due
Charles de Croy, who had been com
mander in chief of the Russian army
at the historic battle of Narva in 1900.
Made prisoner during the fight, De
Croy took up his residence Mt Revel,
where he died in the course of events:
his creditors demurred to his burial,
however, until his debts were paid.
So the soldier 1nummifed and his re-
mains have stayed ever Stree in a church,
where they have been exhibited to vis-
itors as a curiosity. Now, at last, amid
such pomp as was to be found among
the local authorities, he las been given
fitting coffin and properly inferred
in one of the vaults of the church.

In the town OF Gischigs, IN Siberia.
the provincial governor, Soxnin, has for
come time past been quite mad, aud hns
been discharging HIS administrative du-
ties in most extraordinary way. The
orders which he gave the soldiers ard
civil officials were always unreasonable.
and frequently exceeded the bounds of
possibility. One of his favoritc amuse-
mentz, for instance, was to order the ar
rest of a number of respectable towns
men, load them with chains and send
them to prison for an indefinite period.
At other times he would approach the
sentinels stationed by the powder mag
azine and order them to leave their
posts. II they followed his directions
they were severely punished for desert
ing their posts; il not, they were still
more severely punished for disobeying
their superior officers command. An
other pastime Of the governor was to
threaten to hang his junior officers. and
one who resists an attempt 10 arrest
him for this purpose was degraded from
his rank.
Repeated representations were made
to the authorities at St. Petersburg, but
it was only recently, otter this state of
affairs had lasted for IS months, that
the lunatic governor was removed from
his post and conveyed to an asylum.

BEsslE's GREAT SACRIFICE.


She rsit Sorry for . Baby Who Had No
Doll
The stockings had been hung up and
the little ones gathered around the
hearth to hear mamma tell the story
Of the Babe of Bethlehem, Gays the
New York World. Their small faces
expressed profound sympathy when
they heard how tAe Son OF God was
born in stable, how He lay on q bed
Of straw, how He shivered in the cool
December night and how His life was
in danger from the wicked Hcrod. Lit
tie Bessie seemed To be particularly i'm
pressed. She said nothing, but one
could see that she was thinking hard.
When, half IN hour later, mamma
came 10 Bessic's bed to kiss her good
night. she found the child pressing her
doll to her bosom and gazing at it with
unutterable affection. AS she stopped
over the bed Bessie looked up and
asked, earnestly: Mamma, amt Gods
baby got any dolly?"
NO." replied the mother, smiling.
Bessie looked at her doll again and
hugged it. Then conflicting emotions
showed themselves on the little face.
After u long silence the child raised
her eyes. which Ind such an expression
as those of the martyrs must have worn
at the stake, and said, firmly: Take
1t to Him, mamma" e...
Closing her eyes tight Bessie laid the
doll in her mothers hands and buried
her face in the pillow to try to forget
the great sacrifice she had made.
