RAINBOW CHASERS.
Two More Men : to Search for
Fame and Fortune in Alaska.
They Will Go Farther Than Former Gold.
Seekers, Believing That the Wealth of
Gold Increases as the Head Of the
Yukon is Approached.

Amid the strains of martial music of
a brass band, two well-known men of
South Worcester will be escorted to the
Union station Saturday morning, where
they are to take train for Seattle. But
their destination is not Seattle. 1t is
the headwaters of the Yukon river,
where they have visions of finding the
fountaiHfead of the Klondike gold In
other words they are chasing the rain
bow to the very end.
These two men are Charles L. Mans
field, a mouder, living at 2S Kilby street,
and Edward j. Keenan,, a plumber, liv
ing at Sc Canterbury street. They have
long cherished the idea of finding wealth
and fame in the Klondike
During the week Messrs. Mansfield
and keenan, have been purchasing a
supply of Klondike apparel, When they
exhibited themselves to their friends
Thursday afternoon the hardy Morse
men of old We're brought ViVidly to
mind, and although there is considerable
dispute whether the hardy Norsemen
We're the first to discover America or
mot there will be no dispute that Mans
field and Keenan, will be the first to put
their finger in the golden pie that hangs
tantalizingly suspended from the end of
the Klondike rainbow. Sailors bags have
been bought, and with them rubber
coats, rifles and ammunition. Their out
fit will be practically the same as that
taken westward by the members OF the
Worcester and Northwestern Mining
and Trading Company, who now are on
the deep between Seattle and Alaska
The provisions for the trip will be Sc
cured in Seattle, say the two gentlemen,
for they feel confident that there, with
special rates. a considerable saving may

trail, Nickel Plate, Lake Shore, Chicago
and Great Western and the Great
Northern Railroad to Seattle; where, af-
ter two or three days in viewing the
city, berths will be taken on one Of the
numerous steel vessels recently fitted up
for the Klondike travel to the Ell Dorado
of the north.
The party expect to be gone eighteen
months or longer, and as this period
seems to be of sufficient length to be
away from their eastern home their
provisions will be made for this time.
The gentlemen have among their be-
longings a special feature of the trip
in the way of a new kind of lamp,
which has been invented by the party
for the special Klondike trip, as meet
ing, to their minds, the emergencies
which they expect to confront The
lamp with its fluid occupied but little
space and has various attachments, so
that it may be worn on any part of the
body. In conversation with the gentle
ment, no expectation is expressed of
becoming millionaires; but, with the
motto of through trials to triumph, they
hope to win a suitable reward for the
dangers they know they will encounter
in investigating their exclusive inform
alton as to northern gold.

shrewish wife, joins the company IN the
guise of the ships surgeon, whose reputa-
ton as a Lothario has preceded him Inc
surgeon is really a fugitive from justice,
and poor Urban is prosecuted by detec-
tfves, by the presence of his wife, and fin
ally by the hatred of all the passengers,

reef gives him a chance to become a uni
versal benefactor, and he eventually ac-
complishes everybody's happiness, includ-
ing his own

a burst of applause from the spectators.

TWO BODIES IDENTIFIED.

Havana, March SIT is believed now
that the body recovered last Friday and
buried here, was that of Robert Burk-

that another body buried last week was
that of Charles A. Scott of Orange,
n j., carpenters mate. 1t had Odd Fel-
lows links tatooed on the arm.
The Spanish divers did not go down
today, but the American divers got
some fixed ammunition out of the for
