~PRISONERSIN THE ICE.
WOMEN WITH THE FLEET AT
POINT BARROW.
-Four OF Them Are Wives of Captains OF
the sbips-Two Little children, One o
and One 3 Years Old, with Them
Much Suffering Prevails.

Away up in the frozen north. with
only an Arctic sea as q landscape. are
four women and two little children.
or course We have read all about the
whaling fleet jammed in the ice at
Point Barrow, and about the relief eX-
petition sent out by the government
in the revenue cutter Bear to carry food
TO the imprisoned whalers. The Bear
has reached Unalaska, and overland
expedition has started t. the relief of
the eight steam whaling vessels and
their crews damned in that awful sea
or Ice, says a recent issue of Chicago
Tribune. The eight ice-bound vessels
are the Orca. the Jesse II. Freeman, the
Belvedere, the Rosario. the Fearless,
the Wanderer, the jeanne and the New
port, the crews of which number 265.
The four women In the fleet are the
wives Of Captain Green, Captain Por-
ter and Jesse III. Freeman, Captain
Sherman and Captain Weeks. The two
children who sailed away were Bert
Sherman, the 6-year-old son of Captain
and Mrs. Sherman. and Dorothy Por-
ter. the S-year-old daughter of Captain
and Mrs. Porter. 1t was arranged that
the sailors on board the Bear were to
know nothing OF the presence Of the
women and children until the feet had
been out three days, as there is a SUI
perstition among sailors. especially
whalers, that a woman on board brings
bad luck, and the newspaper reporters
who were in the secret had given their
promise not to mention the fact until
after the vessels had sailed.
These our women are the first, with
the exception of Mrs. Peary, to venture
so far north. It's like reading a ro-
nance to hear the letters that at lone
intervals have come to the Oakland
and San Francisco friends Of this par
ty. 81 love It," Mrs. Green said the day
before she sailed on this perilous voy-
age. 81 have been on one little trir
with my husband before, and it was

Here are some Of my trophies she
said, displaying swordfish teeth, Ions
and cruel, and gloating over the grim
souvenirs OF her first voyage. "Bu,

The work OF the Peckham Rye Mission
has so %prospered that the hall is no;
only crowded on Sundays. but often
at the week night meetings large con-

hundreds of Christians who fail to
show upon their faces the happiness
they should feel. but Mr.. K~ingsbury
does not belong to this class. He IL

comes In contact as one Of the happi-

preaching he often exclalms that In
his younger days he was n sweep by
trade and n sweep by nature, but by
the grace of God he has forsaken the
latter profession and been cleansed
from the SCOT of sin. Mr.. Klngsbury

was a rueful pause-then he said.

went on down the hill.
Although Jacks friends maintained
that he would be all right IL he only
kept out Of bad company. the general
opinion was that he and Bert were
about evenly matched for worthless

Jack went up the hill behind the
house till he anne to a spot where the
April u shone warmly under pine
trees. He dropped upon the needle
covered ground, pulled his hat over his
eyes, and calmly finished the nap which
his mothers indignant protest had dis

ssEW ENGLAND is GAINING.
East May Now Increase In Population
Faster Than tho West.
Er IN the Philad 'lphia Press.

Faster Than the West.
Er IN The PAilad 'lphia Press.
New England is likely to show a
larger increase in population during
the present decade than II has during
recent decades. The total population
OF the New England states In 1890 was
400. 745, an increase of 690,216 over
the census Of 1880. But Judging from
the known increase In Massachusetts
and Rhode Island between 1890 n
1895 and the estimated increase In
Connecticut up to the close OF last
year, and approximating tho Increase
in Maine, New Hampshire and Ner-
mont, the Increase In the population OF
New England during the past seven
years has been at the average rate OF
about 10000 n year. With the same
average maintained during the next
few years, the total increase In popu-
lation during the present decade In
New England should be about 100000,
giving that ncighborhood q population
OF $780, 900 In 1900. The obvious con
clusion from these figures Is that when
the censu OF 1900 comes to be taken
II will be found that the Eastern states
have grown more rapidly in population
since 1890 than the Western
states. This conclusion ia for
tilted by the census taken In
some OF the Western states in 1895.
Iowa barely maintained the rate OF
growth It had made between 1880 and
1890. The same is true of Minnesota
while the population Of Kansas de-
creased. The large increase shown In
New Jersey between 1890 and 1895 Is
another proof that the Eastern states
are growing more rapidly than tho
Western. 1t is evident that with thu
increasing scarcity Of arabic land In
the West the advantages OF the Eas'
are being recognized better. The more
rapid increase of manufacturing In thu
East IL also a factor in the growth o
population. In short. the census o
1900 will doubtless show that the Eas
is no longer building up the West. tina
a smaller number Of people are emil
grating from the former to the latte
section, and that the increase In pop
ulation throughout the union is equal
izing itself.

RELICS AT FARNBOROUGt.
Sad Memories of the Once beautiful
Empress Eugene.


The interior of the mansion at Farm
borough. which serves as "a home for
the Empress Eugene, Is both sumptu-
Gus and comfortable, but its distinctive
features are the constant presence Of
all that can recall those who have
gone. Just before the departure OF the
prince imperial for Zululand the en-
press had decided to arrange for him
an apartment at Chiselhurst into which
all the historical and personal souven-
irs in her possession of Napoleon l..
and III. should be gathered. The room
was barely finished when the news
came of the death of its young mas
ter. An exactly similar one has been
arranged at Marlborough. with the ad-
dition of one large piece of furniture,
the upper part Of which has glass
doors. Behind these the mother has
herself placed everything belonging to
her son, from his earliest rattle to his
favorite books. In the lower inclosed
portion are locked up the accouter-
ments OF the horse he rode n the
blood-stained uniform he wore on that
tragic day, mournful relics brought to
the empress by Col. Villiers and on
which can be seen the lance thrusts
of the Zulus. The old bedroom or tho
prince has also beer reinstated at
