the war broke out Thomas ran away
and enlisted in the army. He served
Uncle Sam until the close Of the war,
shortly after which he turned up in
Indiana, Pa, where he resided until
his death, which occurred a few years
ago.
While in the service of the United
States, Sylvanus contracted a dis

almost blind. In 1880 he applied for

A Few Corrections for Our Last Weeks
 Wrlteup.

A Few Corrections for Our Last Weeks
 Wrlteup.
 It don't surprise us that many mis' takes were made in our last issue. It was our number one and besides being smoked out of our office for three days, we encountered so many little annoying conditions that we now won der that it's columns were as near correct as they are.
 We stated that 250 tons of ore were crushed and went through the stamp mill every day. It should have been 75O tons. Not very great mistake of course, only a difference of 800 tons.
 Then we said the holes for blasting were drilled two feet deep, but in fact they are put in seven, and the holes ir the pit are drilled eleven feet deep.
 If the boys at Treadwell will permit us to live after making these errors we will try and not have such mistakes occur again.

Colonel Lewis.

The brilliant young congressman, Gel. James Hamilton Lewis, of the state of Washington, has suffered defeat at the polls in the election held on the 9th of this month, by a majority of about 5000 votes. Two years ago he was cleo ted by a majority of some 13,OOO and those who are not acquainted with the politics of that state will wonder why this great change of friendship to that ofapparent hostility in the short space of two years. The cause briefly stated is, that Col. Lewis severely attacked President. Mckinley and his admins tration when patriotism and good judg- ment should have led him to the ardent support of the president during time that the nation was not at peace.
 The News, while published at Fort Wrangel, advised the Col. to let Me KinIey alone and make his campaign speeches on other lines; the people were with the president and an attack on him would surely bring and merit his defeat, but the Congressman had never before experienced a Waterloo and knowing that for years he was the most popular man in his state, he could not be made to believe that the voters of Washington would refuse to support him.
 As an orator, Col. Lewis has no equal in the state in which he lives, probably not on the Pacific coast. As lawyer his equals are few, and while the pres ent defeat may be painful, it will prove to be a great benefit to him in the flu ture.
 Col. Lewis will survive this defeat It will only result in bringing out the better metal that is within his body, and the republicans of that state will find in him more troublesome adVer' sary in the future than he has been in the past. The Seattle papers that were opposed to him are glorying in his de- feat. It is natural that they should do so. They rejoice that he is politically dead, but when two years roll around they will find him, like the Philistines did Sampson-his strength restored and more powerful than ever. No Col. Lewis cannot be "downed," his ability will still keep him before the people of that state as the leader of his party, anda foe that republicans will always fear.

Pneumonia Ends the Life of the Re-
markntie Chimpanyec.
Philadelphia Pres.

Tess is dead. The wonderful chimpai.-
zee. whose haEnan-like complis-ments
cheered the hearts Of disciples OF Darwin
TO the point OF conviction that the miss
ing link in the great evoiutionists theory
of the descent of man had at last been
FOUND. passed peacefully away at 1
o'clock yesterday morning. Tess came TO
this city from the Chicago zoo. arriving
here on Sunday evening. She had been
engaged at an extremely large salary for
exhibition al the Ninth and Arch muse
um, by Manager &. A. Bradenb9rgh who
had TO give heavy bonds for her safe
keeping while in his care. On Sunday her
merits and attachments We're adequately
described in an advertisement which con-
sumed more than quarter OF a page In
the newspapers. and having spared no
cost in properly introducing Tess TO the
Philadelphia public. Manager Braden-
burgh looked forward with confidence 10
a prosperous engagement.
When Tess arrived at the Ninth and
Arch museum on sunday evening she
was still suffering slightly from the effects
OF an old cold from which. however, she
seemed to be rapidly r-cuperating. On
Monday morning her condition showed no
Improvement, and during the afternoon
and evening she was compelled to forego
a performance of the marvellous feats
which had made her an object OF deep
concern and study 10 the scientific world.
She occupied her glass-enciosed quarters
and spent most OF the time between her
rocking chair and couch holding her
handkerchief TO her eyes and weeping
like a child in distress. Allan Roche the
African traveller, who several years ago
kidnapped Tess when a baby at play In
her forest home. and who has since been
her inseparable companion and protector.
did all in his power to relieve the suffer
ing animal. a task in which he was as
sisted by Tess marvellous instinct.
Her trainer found her sobbing and.
placing his arm around her neck, in
Quired into her trouble. Tess placed her
hands pitifully on her chest and shook
her head mournfully, as n she had some
presentiment of her approaching doom.
A physician who had been promptly called
in by Manager Bradenburgh said that the
animal was suffering with pneumonia.
and at once began determined effort to
save her. After medicine had been adj
ministered she was put to bed on Monday

she gave the first Of her al homes. and
appended to the announcement that 1t

doors OF the legation on l street were
simply immense. Carriages lined the street.

dren and sat in the ballroom FOR an hour
at least. Others elhowed their way into
the dining room and partook OF refresh
4nents two or three times over. They We're.
however as cordially treated as IL they
