What the Klondike Stampede neans
to Trade.

What does the exodus of 100000 to
the Kondike mean to the business OF the
country? / have figured it out on the
basis OF cost and proper ton as ascer-
tanned, and it is this: That each man of
them would average first and last an
expenditure OF 5000, making a grand
total of $50, 100000. The United States
railroads would get 100000 of this;
Seattle merchants and hotel keepers, for
outfits and transient guests, $25, 0OO.-
600; the prospector's home town and
towns en- routs to Seattle and other
Pacific coast points, SIS 10000; ship
companies, Tor transportation to Alaska,
$4,000 000 and for tie transpor alton
of fright over passes and in Alaska,
$15,OO0O0O This would represent only
the actual needs of this many prospect
ors, and would cause large increase in
other business directly connected with it..
1t means that in 1898 $50 100000 will
be spent in search Of gold in the yellow
creeks, and in the same year not more
than onefourth of that amonnt will be
produced. But the output is likely to
come nearer the expense as each year
goes by, and in few years to exceed it.

The Guard at washlngton's Tomb.

Edward Parker 1.-The little old colored
man who occupies the sentry-box at the
tomb oil Washington at Mount Vernon,
lives in Washington. That is, his family
lives there, and he comes over by special
permit OF the organization which has
control of the old home of the first presi-
dent of the United States.
For years the tomb OF Washington has
been constantly before this old colored
mans vision. He has never missed day
from that dingy sentry-box since Mount
Vernon passed into the charge of the
women, and. before that, dating from
1871, he had lived on the place. He was
a slave of John Washington and is the
last of the old servants now living.
Every other Saturday Parker comes
over to Washington, always carrying
with him an old fashioned carpet bag, so
common in the days OF reconstruction.
The following Monday morning he may
always be seen q halt hour at least before
the first train starts for Mount Vernon,
waiting around the corner of Pcnnsylva.
MIA avenue and Thirteenth street. He
has never missed the train since the cleo
trio cars began running to Mount YER
non. Before that, the first boat to
| Mount Vernon on alternating Monday
mornings always found him passenger.
Parker is indeed character. He as
sisted in burying the last person con-
signed to the vault in Washington's
tomb. After that the key to the vault
was thrown into the Potomac. This
was in the early $685. Washington

A KIondike Sheep Speculation.

lack Collins, who started Tor Dawson

his flock Tor $4,000. The other and
biggest part of the flock fed the birds of
the Arctic zone. This is how it hap.
pened:
He drove the sheep in over the Dalton
trail Some time before Dawson was
reached cold weather came on, and Col
Inns decided to kill his sheep. He killed
and sold nearly 800 and received nearly
$4,000 for them. Then he concluded
to hold the remainder for better mar
ket. He killed the remaining 400 in a
sort of secluded place off the line OF
travel and suspended the carcasses on
poles far enough above the ground to be
out Of the reach OF bears, wolves or other
wild animals. He left two young men
to watch the mutton. and proceeded to
look Tor a mining section. Having found
one, he located claim and proceeded to
test it. Alter he had dug out a few
thousand dollars worth Of gold he
thought he would, as the French say,
return to his muttons."
His stay had been so prolonged that
the young men had become weary oil
holding a wake over the sheep and,
imagining Dawson to be only few
miles away, had started for that city to
enjoy some of the pleasures metropoli-
tan CITY can afford. 1t proved to be
about 100 miles to Dawson, so their alb
sence was more extended than they had
intended, and when Collins reached the
place where he had left the carcasses Of
400 sheep he found only 400 bleaching
skeletons.
The eagles, ravens, GRO VS., kites. hawks
and other birds of prey which inhabit
that region had been ieasting on mutton
"Where the carcass is, there will the
eagles be gathered" is proverb which
applies to other birds of prey. Collins
had lett so many carcasses that invita-
tions had been sent out and genera
roundup OF all the vutures and things il
that region. from Behring sea to Mac
kenzle river, had taken place. Whether
the claim Collins secured will make good
the loss of the mutton or not remains to
be seen, but when he drives in his next
band of sheep the birds OF prey will not
get so large percentage OF them

The "Veendam" Rescue.

The story of the rescue of the passen-
gers and crew of the Veendam, on Febru-
airy Z. in mid-ocean, by the ST. Louis,
makes delightful reading, OF the sort that
puts all into conceit with human nature.
1t is pleasant that an American liner
should have had this opporl unity, and
should have proved so admirably equal
to it. To transfer 2l2 people in so short
a time-three hours and ten minutes-in
mid-ocean, with high sea running. was
an exploit to be proud of. Indeed, the
whole transaction seems to have been
creditable to every one concerned in it.,
and not less to the rescued tan to the
rescuers. There were order and discipline
aboard the sinking ship, and very skillul
and willing work by the men of the St.
Lonis. 1t came so near 10 being a trag-
edy, and, as it was, not life was lost.
That was grand Fine things happen at
sea, where the obligations OF human
brotherhood seem somehow to be much
more imperative and more readily ac-
knowledged than ashore. - [Harper's

"Slle was not what you would Call re-

Of the working OF Marks mind. pri-

The Censor and the Press IN Austria,

To this same end it cools off the news
papers every morning at five O'Clock,
whenever warm events are happening.
There is a censor OF the press, anu appar-
emily he is always on duty and hard at
work. A copy OF each morning paper is
brought to him at five clock. His offi-
cial wagons wait at the doorsof the news
paper Offices and scud to hum with the
first copies that come from the press.
Hi company OF assistants read every
line in these papers and mark everything
which seems TO have a dangerous look
then he passes final judgment upon these
markings. Two things conspire to give
to the results caprcIous anu unbalanced
look; his assistants have diversified no
tons as to what is dangerous and what
isn't; he can get time to examine their
criticisms in much detail; and so some
times the very same matter which is sup
pressed in one paper tails to be damned
in another one, and gets published in lull
feather and unmodihed. Then the paper
in which it was suppressed blandly cop
les the forbidden matter into its evening
ovokingly giving credit and
detailing all the circumstances in court
eous and inoffensive language-and OF
course the censor cannot say word.
Sometimes the censor sucks all the
blood out OF a newspaper and leaves 1t
colorless and inane; sometimes he leaves
it undsturbed, and let's it talk out its
opinions with frankness and vigor
hardly to be surpassed, / think, in the
journals Of any country. Apparently
the censor sometimes revises his verdicls

MT. William c. Whitney the Most Fortu-
 nate of Invalids.

From the New York World
 Mrs. William C. Whitney is one Of the most fortunate as well as one of the most patient sufferers ever known. Her huspand has given up his business affairs 10 deVote his entire time to Mrs Whitney's welfare.
 Mrs. Whitney lies in the south room or her Westbury, l.. l., home on couch puilt especially for her. Her position IS nall reclining, and this she cannot change With out the help of her nurses. From her couch she looks though a large window, and can see the naturally beautiful landscape.
 But well person becomes tired of land scapes, so MT. Whitneys one effort has been to change the scenery, so far as money and brains can, to assuage the dreadful monotony of her sickness.
 First he built a race course, where his and his sons horses are schooled over the jumps Now he is having golf links laid out the greater part of the course being within the track circuit. and directly in view from the sick chamber.
 pr. Mann, the attendant physician, lived at Roslyn, three miles from the Whitney hon .. and although they had telephone com. lions and horses and traps in plenty, the w hiLneys thought it better to have the physician nearer; so the Velsor farm, ad joining the Whitney property, was bought last week at cost of $1S,OOO, and Dr. Mann
 is now living there.
 This, no doubt, gave rise to the rumor that Mrs. Whitney was growing worse. On investigation this was proved to be untrue, as the suffering woman is slowly but surely improving, and her family and physician have every hope of her ultimate recovery.
 Beside the new golf course another amusement is in store for Mrs. Whitney, although it will be only temporary. The Meadow Brook Steeplechase association will hold its third annual cross country races at the Whitney place on November 8, and Mrs. Whitney win have the pleasure of witnessing a real race meet-something which few, if any other, invalids ever en- joyed. The card will consist of six races, three steepechases for gentlemen riders oneflat race for hunters, an open steeple- chase and a team race, the last being the feature of the programme.
 Besides the natural hunting property, the six-furlong course already laid out, makes the Whitney property particularly adapted for the races.
 Mrs. Whitney will have an uninterrupted view of all these, and will, no doubt, be the most interested spectator.
