CLIO MINERS TURN BACK.

DYEA, ALASKA, Aug. 4. via Seat
tie Wash, Aug 1.-THE number
of prospectors on the Dyea and
Skaguay trails had been increased
by the arrival Of 500 by the British
steamers Islander and Gees. The
Sksguay route is open forty-five
miles to the lakes in a zig. gag course
over the mountains, but the read
is very soft.
TIE probability of one man in ten
reaching the Klondyke is remote.
Old Alaska prospectors, some of
whom have wintered in the Yukon
and know what to expect, are bacom-
ing frightened and turning back.
Not that they fear the hardships,
but that they are apprehensive of
famine on account Of so many men
rushing headlong to the mines with
out enough provisions to last them
two months.
The best evidence that those upon
the ground regard the situation
with more or less 81 srm is the fact tha
many are paying 20 cents per pound
TO have freight packed across Dyea
Pass. This 10 an increase Of 3 cents
per pound since the sailing of the
Alki, at which time 16 and II cents
were charged. Twenty cents Is the
charge over the Dyea or Chilkooi
pass route. This increase and ex

why Women stay Indoors.
n Woman's Home Companion. J

From Womans Home Companion.J
The habit of wearing different
costumes in the house and street is a
reason for much of the overdomes-
ITCHY of women. Wrappers and tea
gowns are such pretty, dainty things,
and fancy slippers are so seductive,
that it is out of the question to give
them up and adopt the common
place, unimaginative ways of men
who live III their weather-proof
suits.
But n little fact that occurs to me
is significant. A certain ingenious
young wife, whose husband left her
alone in the evenings far too often,
presented him with a pair OF hand
some slippers, which he put Oh &c
crafty her. and an hour afterwaru q
bachelor friend called for him, and,
instead Of responding with alacrity
rs usual, he demurred. IL was toe
much trouble To change his slippers
for shoes.
In winter, when going out means
at least half an hours preparation
for u woman, the 'peptic tonic OF
January's biting air calls for heroic
efforts; but the Incidence that is in 9
measure excusable then is often con
tinued rs q matter of habit after
genial days have set IN, and 1.-THE
line OF least resistance is followed
to the desrimeut of hoaltu. spirits
and general welfare.

Century runs" have teen con.
demned widely and empLatically for
all except the strongest of man riders,
and it is not contended that even the
latter are benefited at all thereby.
For women they are, of course, still
more dangerous; they csn result In
nothing but injury, and that per-
haps as very serious nature.
What, then, is to be aid when q
woman actually sets out upon and
accomplishes a double century,
that is, the riding OF 200 miles in
twenty-four hoursi This has just
been done by one woman, and her
feat has certainly received sufli cient
advertisement in the newspapers.
Persons who saw her at the fnish-
line commented upon the fri htfully
worn and haggard appearance of her
face. Indeed, the peddling of those
scores of miles. now under a scorch-
ing sun, and again in torrents of
rain, through clouds of choking dust
and wearylng depths of sticky mud
always with the feeling that she
must push on without the loss Of q
moment in order to complete the
task she has set herself, must have
been nothing short of torture. 1t is
a marvel that she managed to &C
complish the run at all. Will power
is strong, however, and the latter
part of the wav must have been GOV
cred by sheer force Of determination
and nerve. 1t was one of the most
senseless and pitiable exhibitions OF
the bicycle crszs which have vet
been manifested. Fortunately, there
are few women who are possessed oil
like ambitions or who will have any
desire TO rival the achievement.

The brigade had moved out to at
tack the Momunds In the valley north

The Sikhs drove the enemy into the
hills. but eventually fell back before
superior numbers.
The enemy. then advanced against
the left flank. drove back the cavalry
and surrounded company of sikhs.
The cavalry charged brilliantly and re-
lieved the Sikhs, and the guides. COM
ting up, swept the enemy back. The
force halted for some time, destroying

and was running short of ammunition,
when the general officer commanding
moved the guides forward to their re-

The guides carried the wounded Sikhs
back and executed the withdrawal in

Darkness came on before the force

General Jeffreys remained with the
guns and took up position in village.
