MASTODONS IN ALASKA.
Indians Say That These Monsters Are still
Roaming About There.

The Alaska News prints story which
ought to be 90 interest to scientists, and
which, if it is true, will GO one step farther
to prove to us that wonders never cease.
According to this yarn, the journal in
question has learned of the existence of liv-
ing mastodons near the headwaters of
White river, the Stick Indians positively
asserting that not later than five years ago
such animals had been seen by them.
One of the Indians said that while hunt
ing one day in that unknown section he
came across an immense track, sunk TO "a
depth of several inches in the moss, ana
from the description as the Indian marked
it out to him in the sand it much resem-
bled an elephants track and was larger
around than barrel.
Upon striking il the Indian followed up
this curious trail, which to all appearances
was very fresh, and, tracking from one
| immense stride to the other for distance
| of some rifles, he came in full view of his
( game.
The hunter gave one look, then turned
| and fed as though pursued by the evil one.
J These Indians, as a class, are the bravest
of hunters, and, with no other weapon
than the spear, will attack and slay the
| St. Elias grizzly. But the immense pro-
portions of this new kind of game both
| startled and filed the hunter with great
| fear, and he imagined his only safety LED
in swift and immediate flight.
| He described it as being bigger than o
post traders store, with great shining vel
| lowish tusks and mouth large enough tC
! swallow him in n single lump
| If such an animal Is now in existence, i
inhabits section of very high altitude
and one but rarely visited by human be
ings, and these only Indians What lends
"a certain credibility to the Indians tale Il
! that at no very distant period the IukoI
country was inhabited by these animals
| and hundreds of their massive skeletons
were found strcwn along the creeks.

A New Rag.

A curious relic of the old days of the
paper duties which SO much hampcred
journalistic enterprise in the first hall OF
the present century is the first number of
Berthold's Political Handkerchief, be-
ing news sheet printed on cotton fabric
instead of paper. 1t is dated London, sat
urday, Sept. 3, 1881 price, fourpence And
the letterprcss, which is fairly legiblc, is
as remarkable as the material on which it
is printed.
The tone of this news rag Is intensely
radical, but it reproduces the order of cere-
monial to be observed at the coronation of
King William " and Queen Adelaide on
the following Thursday, and it is an
nounced that proclamation to the people
of Europe will appear in our next cot
ton" 1t is embellished with medallion
woodcut of Napoleon crossing the Alps,
but the ink in this pictorial effort was too
much for the cotton, and the Alps are in
fog and the emperor on horseback very
indistinct.

A RELIC OF ROYALTY.
Is Found In One Of the Principal
Church of New York.

Though few are aware Of the fact, men,
bers of the congregation of old IT. Paul's
church gaze every Sunday at the arms OF
the future king OF England. On the canopy
of the old fashioned pulpit, which Is one
of the pepper box style Of century ago,
are the three ostrich feathers and the
crown that for many generations have con-
stituted the arms of the Prince of Wales,
the heir to Britain's throne. The feathers
stand out gracefully in the center OF the
oak canopy They are all carved wood,
handsomely .gilded, and form an attractive
ornamentation TO the pulpit. With these
royal arms over his head, the minister who
officiates in St Paul's church on Sunday
reads the services Of the American church.
| 1t is argued that these royal arms have
| survived the storms of the Revolutionary
days An incensed mob travelled through
New York city when independence had
been declared, destroying every sign that
| represented the monarchy from whose
chains they had cut themselves free Moth
ing was regarded as sacred by this mob.
The royal arms were everywhere ut that
time-on the windows of stores whose
proprietors had been proud of this means
of reminding the public that at one time
they had supplied his majesty's ships with
salt pork or hard tack, on the lampposts
at the street corners and swinging from
the front porches of the old inns. Windows
on which the royal symbols appeared were
ruthlessly smashed by the mob, the lamp
posts were hurled to the ground and the
inns deprived of their signs in short order
1t was time when to be "a client of royalty
brought a man into dangerous prominence,
end many wise storekeepers escaped mob
violence and saved the destroying party
the trouble of smashing their signs by do
ing the work themselves.
The royal arms of England were hard 70
find in New York city when the mob had
completed its tour. Some few signs escaped
the ruin, but not for long. They were
smashed as soon as attention was called &C
their presence.
The relic in ST. Paul's church was passed
unnoticed and has survived to this day
1t is certain that the mob somewhat over
looked it's existence, for no respect for thu
sacredness of "a church edifice would have
deferred it from laying the pulpit in ruin
: had the presence Of the feathers and crown
n of Wales been pointed out-New Yorl

Chicago. May S.-Employes at the
Western Wheel works claim to have been
swindled out of between $4,000 and 49,
600 by Herman Rain, formerly en-
ployed there Rahn's alleged method OF
defrauding his fellow employees was TO
have them turn their savings over to

Wheel Works company, promising
them per cent. interest monthly. In
return for the money he gave them a
receipt, it is said, signed with rae
smile Of the rubber signature stamp or
the company. Rain began the scheme
several months ago and paid the prom
ised per cent. interest on all the money
he had collected, so that he could gam
the confidence of several OF the men
who had from $500 to 5000 saved up.
These say he prevailed upon them to IN
trust their savings to him last week
