La EpOcha. the conservative organ Of
Madrid, for example, has circulation

Indeed. out OF all the 1900 periodic

Theoretically, and judging by analy.

best feed for hens or their chickens.
But whole oats have too much chat to
be probably fed to hens. Their crop ID

The same objections apply to feeding

Czarnowski and MT. and Mrs. Charles Zeiger of Congress Junction and also by friends at the camp. The visit was delightful oue and they brought away with them a high appreciation of the hospitality of the people of Congress. Some thing should be said of the lodge there. It was instituted only six months ago with a membership of fifty-three. There are now eeventy- two members and twelve applications were received since the banquet. There is, perhaps, greater interest taken in lodge work there than in any other lodge in the territory.

NEARING KLONDYKE.
A Letter of Late Date From Charles
 Deering of Phoenix.

MT. B. w. Gillett yesterday received a letter from Charlie Deering, a for mer Santa Fe operator here, who left for the Klondyke several weeks ago. Tn letter was dated April 13 from Sheep Camp, on the summit of the trail from Dyea. The journey so far, he said, had been very pleasant and as the hardest part of it was already over. he believed he was having ez- ceptionally good luck.
 Describing the snow slide, he said that fifty-six bodies had been recoy- cred and many would probably never be found A cruel error, he says, was made in sending out what purported to be a list. of the dead. Correspond ents used TO care at all in the prepala a tion of the list, so that it contained ] the names of many persons who were not in the vicinity. The bodies of ! many of the dead were robbed by crooks, of which Dyea, Skaguay and Sheep Camp are full.
 Regarding the much talked of tram way, MT. Deering says it is a failure The only tramway in successful op- eration is the sled and the dog. He writes that he saw woman and dog hitched up together pulling 9 | heavy load up the trail.

Rear Admiral Schley who formerly
made prominent hotel his temporary
residence in this city, has, with charac-
teristic modesty, taken apartments in a

but always accessible TO his friends. The
admiral VIII go tomorrow afternoon to his
native place, Frederick. Md, and there
remain until Saturday evening. when he
will return to Washington, to remain over
Sunday.
He said yesterday: II must soon go to
New York and see my children. 1 have
not seen them since my return, and they
are writing and teIegraphing for me TO
come TO them. l will go there next week
OF course. must go to Frederick first as
the friends of a lifetime are demanding
my presence there
Letters from people from all parts of
the country are daily coming to the ad-
miral, and yesterdays mail brought nine
ty-three letters. They come from men,
! women and children. and all sorts OF in
quiries are made concerning the past,
present and prospective future of the he
ro of Santiago. Mrs. Schley opens and
reads these letters. setting aside for the
personal Inspection OF the admiral those
letters which require immediate answers.

pride the compliment that she is "a model
