WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
Gross Temptations by Which Alas
kans Part with Their Gold.


kans Part with Their Gold.
There are many men on the Klondike,
it is claimed, who will probably never
return to civilization. This is the state
ment of Jack Carr, the mail carrier,
and it is not very joyful news he brings
to anxious relatives in this city and
elsewhere. 1t is not because the boys"
are not making money in the north that
they cannot come home, but because
the temptations of the saloons and
dance halls at Dawson are too much
for them, and every cent they earn is
spent that way. 1t does not take very
long to run through small fortune in
Alaska, if one is inclined to be the least
bit sporty. 1t costs from so cents to
five dollars a dance in the Dawson
dance halls, and with whisky at rs
cents per drink man has to be very
lucky to keep the pace.
The boys" in question are not ex-
ceptionally lucky. They have been on
the river long time, and have good
claim if they would work it Industrious
ly. They saved no money when they
were working down here, and Carr says
that they are not doing it in Alaska.
They have hardly enough to purchase
supply of grub for the winter, and
ing, live in terrible fashion. They are
on a spree for about half the time, and
the other days in the week are too much
played out to work. The stories told
of this Klondike whisky are interesting.
if true.
There are seven or eight saloons at
Dawson, counting a new one that has
just been started by Pete Mcdonald,
the well-known Snohomish saloon
keeper and variety man. At Louise
Town, above Dawson, there are four
more. tits from the Louise Town saloons
that the whisky stories come. Their
whisky, it is said, is made from alcohol
and brown sugar. With every glass
placed on the bar whisk broom is
placed beside it. A Seattle man was
telling the story of his first drink to
few friends yesterday, and in the
course of the story explained the use
of the whisk broom. On his calling
for glass of whisky the broom was
handed to him, as the others at the bar.
Not wishing to show his ignorance, he
waited until the others had finished.
After downing the mixture they went
over to a pile of sawdust, where for
few minutes they rolled around in a
fit. The whisk broom was used to
brush off the sawdust. The Seattle mar
poured his glass on the floor, having re-
ceived vivid temperance lesson.
There are said to be many men at
Dawson in just the fix the Seattle boys
spoken of are in. There is plenty Of
work for them to do, but they won't do
it. Or, if they do, the money goes into
the saloons and dance halls, while dur
ing the winter they live off the more
fortunate miners. These men would
be in a sorry fix if there was any great
scarcity of provisions at the camp, as
there seems to be possibility that
there will be this year.-Seattle Times.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND,
The Cars Policy in the East Ex-
planned by IA Russian Statesman.

The Cars Policy In the East Ex-
planned by n Russian Statesman.
The Paris Soleil prints an interview
between it's st. Petersburg correspond
ent and a prominent Russian states
man which may be interesting just
now. Among other things the czar's
man said:
"We are not the enemies of England.
We willingly recognize the great role
that she plays in the world. We sim
cerely wish her success in her projects
Of Anglo-SaXon and colonial federation.
But we are suspected of cherishing a
desire to capture Hindoostan. What
nonsense! What absurdity! England,
however, refuses our offers of friend
ship. Everywhere we find her in the
front ranks of our enemies. She will
compel us at last to take sides against
her. And for all that she ought to
understand that her danger does not
come from our side. Some day she will
bitterly regret the Franco-Russian al
lance, but then it will be too late"
Speaking of the eastern question, this
diplomat made the following bold state
ment:
Turkey will yield every point be-
yond u doubt. Thessaly will be COM
pletely evacuated. The rectiication of
the frontier will not give Turkey more
than a single verst. No town in Thes-
sally will be given over to the sultan.
AS to the internal reforms, rest assured
that we shall insist that they must be
complete and final"
The correspondent expressed some
doubt in regard to the docile resigna-
ton of the porte, and asked for some
further explanations.
1--WE are not now as we were at the
immediate close of the Crimean war;"
said the Russian statesman. To-day
we are strong, and the Russian govern
ment can speak like master. More
over, we are in full accord with the
ideas of Austria. The resistance of
Turkey would bring about a military
Intervention in which we would play
the first part. Turkey does not want
to commit suicide. She knows that her
life and her death are in our hands"
"But." said the correspondent, "Tur-
key will not last forever. and a time
must come when the Ottoman empire,
poorly sustained by Europe, will crum-
BILE to dust under its own weight"
agreed" said the statesman, "but
when that day comes we will be in
position to defy all our enemies united.
We will take Constantinople and Gal
lipolis. and we will fight to the last
soldier and to the last rouble to keep
them. The question will be: Constan-
tinople for the sultan or for the czar?
That will be the dilemma. 1t will be
for Europe to make the choice."-N. Y.

Peril.

Peril.
They gathered round with weeping eyes
And begged him not to go
To seek Alaska's golden prize,
Through floods and drifting snow.
They told of bears and wolves that grin.
Relentless, sharp of tooth.
And said the chance that he would win
Was hopeless for the youth.
Fierce beasts. wild tribes and jagged hills
His dreadful path would line:
And, when he got there. boarding bills
Would swallow up his mine.
Dead miners bones along the track
Made white the cheerless range,
AND if alive he happened back
Indeed 1t would be strange.
"Stay! stay" he cried. with upraised hand.
Il know the risks take,
And go to that bleak northern land
For self-protections sake.
IT know the dangers of the snow,
The cold. the icy air.
But l feel safe because know
There are no scorchers there!'

The Victoria Hospital.

Mr., EDIToR:-Being one of the
many who wish to contribute to the
fund for a memorial hospital, kind.
ly allow me space in your columns
TO correct what seems to be mis-
taken impression in the minds OF
many OF our citizens.
1t is wished by the British
residents iu Honolulu to celebrate
the Diamond Jubilee of Queen
Victoria by erecting and endowing,
so far as may be possible, cottage
hospital for incurables resident in
these Islands, where such unfort-
unates could oe placed and kept by
the various charitable institutions or
by individuals interested in the well
fare OF the patients; such cottage
hospital to contain from elk to 10
beds and quarters for nurses, etc.
The objects Of the proposed insti-
tuition are: |. To prevent the re-
currence in our community OF con-
sumptives andothers similarly afflict-
ed, who cannot be received at the
Queens Hospital, dying and uncared
for, as has too often been the case
in this city. 2. By thorough SAINT
alton in and around such institution
to minimize the danger to the health
of the community from contact with
the unfortunate sufferers. In con-
nection with the above, the presence
of consumplives during tho last
stages of the disease, in boarding
and lodging houses, is undesirable,
nor is the washing Of their linen to-
gether with that of healthy families
and individuals, as washing is done
here in cold water, a desirable thing.
The idea of erecting, equipping
and maintaining a large hospit al,
where consumptiyes from all parts
of the world are to be sent, is no
part of the opposed plan.
AS it is the intention to extend
the benefits of the proposed iustitu-
ton to all nationlities, let donors OF
every nationality feel assured that
his or her donation, be it large OF
small, will be thankfully received
and made part OF the fund set aside
for the commemoration Of the Goth
anniversary of the glorious reign OF
good and virtuous Queen.

SOARING THE PUBLIC.

Some OF our so-called medical
men in the services of the Govern
ment, are evidently ondeavoring o
create a scare in Honolulu. We
cannot say whether they are using
their official positions as an adver-
tising medium or whether their
great wisdom and their knowledge
of medical matters make them see
danger where there is none.

Dear mothersl besides the regular
compulsory vaccination for small
pox, your children frequenting

with eyeglasses.

The tuberculosis scare has lost it's
freshness, however, and now a
diphtheria scare is the fad. Four
cases have been reported from diff
ferent parts OF the town by our
eminent city physician, Dr. Howard,
whose dictum OF course was accepted
by the members of the Board Of
Health, who now are talking about
closing schools, establishing quaran-
tine, and it is safe to predict will
shortly insist in the use of anti-torine
to be used by the wholesale like
tuberculine, before a verdict has
ever been given as to its usefulness
by competent authorities.

which cost the taxpayers much
money and the country the lives of
nearly hundred Hawaiians. When
one OF our best known private physi-
clans notified the wise men OF the

A while ago we were all set agog
because the Board OF Health Veteri-

that special precautions must be

be injected into dairy COWS by the
bucket, by officials who do not
know what tuberculine is, and we
are to take chances of having healthy
cattle infected with tuberculosis by
the use OF remedy, the value OF
which is yet disputed by many
prominent scientific and agricul-
tural institutions.
