Freeze the Flames of Candles and
Sell Them for Strawberries.
According to the Alaska Miner.
gentleman who has just escaped from
the Klondike region gives the following
account of some things that happened
there: "A man told me who had win.
tered up there seven years that it was Sc
cold in January that they froze the
fames of th.ar candles and sold them
for Strawberries. He said they kept
their fires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting them freeze,
and then thawed them out in the morn
ing. lie said he had seen four men die
OF collie from eating whisky that was
frozen so hard it wouldn't thaw inside
OF them. He said the cows all gave ice
cream till they froze to death. He said
he knew clerk in a hotel on the Yukon
that got rich selling the diamonds he
were, said diamonds being nothing on
earth but ice crystals that didn't thaw
till after the clerk had got out Of the
country. lie said he had seen man
fall Off the roof of barn and freeze so
stiff before he lit that he broke in two
when he hit the ground. lie said he had
seen smoke freeze in chimney till the
fire wouldn't draw, and he knew of one
case where the smoke froze after il
got a hundred feet up and fell back on
the house, knocking a hole in the roof
big enough to drive yoke Of steers
through. He said the reason that
nights were so long in that country
was that the dark got frozen SO hard
the daylight couldn't thaw its way
through in less than six months"

In 1872 Mr.. w. Bancroft Espeut inn

goose for the purpose of destroying

says Nature, it was estimated tina rthe
saving to the colony through the work
Of this animal amounted to & 100000 an

the aspect Of affairs. 1t was found that
the mongoose destroyed all ground
nesting birds, and that the poultry. as
well ass the insectiverous reptiles and
batrachians of the island, were being
exterminated by it. Injurious insects
increased in consequence thousand
fold; the temporary benefits Of the in
PRODUCTION were speedily wiped away,
and the mongpose became pest.

Tho Israyest Of the Brave

Holding the baby in his left arm
while he grasped his saber with his
right, Captain Highuchi marched to
the capture of the next fort, receiv-
ing at one time a bullet through his
cap. The fort was taken i'll gallant
style, tho baby meanwhile looking
on in wondering surprise at the din
and uproar Of the battle, perfectly
content to rest on the kind hearted
captains shoulder. When all was
over this gallant officer gave his
tiny charge to some Of his troopers,
who bore the child in safety to a
Chinese house in village hard by.

THE STORY is DENIED.
Colonel Kcsslcr Didn't Issue the ObnOx
iOus Order

Another Manila mail arrived the
other day, bringing letters from the
Montana soldiers in the Philippines.
Ex-G Governor Richards received Il lon4
letter from Chaplain Stull and anoth-
er from his son, Lieutenant Homer
Richards. Chaplain Stull gives d
detailed account Of the experiences
OF the soldiers or the long voyage and
SINCE they reached the Philippines
He refers to the story OF Coloncl
kcsslers treatment Of he Red Cross
ladies when the regiment left San
Francisco and says it was not true;
that Colonel Kesslcr did not issue the
orders refusing the Red Cross ladies
permission to feed the soldiers, as he
was not on the duck at the time, and
says the order was issued by General
Otis. He says Colonel Kesslcr and
Lieutenant Colonel Wallace both
make good officers, and are liked by
the men. From Chaplain Stull's
letter it appears there was less sick
ness at the time Of writing than there
had been among the men. From his
reference 10 the pleasure the soldiers
find in getting letters from home, it
is apparent that is about the best
medicine they can get. Chaplain
Stull says the Montana boys make
fine soldiers and that lie hears more
compliments for the regiment than
for any other. He makes humorous
reference to the rapid strides Manila
is making toward becoming Ameri-
caniZed since the advent Of the
Americans, and says the most con-
spicuous thing to be seen about the
streets OF Manila are banners carried
by natives, bearing the inscription.
"Schltz beer made Milwaukee, fam
eus aud is now, on sale at the Alham-
bra." Unlike most of the other
writers from Manila. Chaplain Stull
likes the Filipinos. and thinks as a
people they would make a valuable
acquisition 10 America.

Mounting Photographs on Glass.

1t is frequently the case that one
may desire to mount photographs
upon glass. This is very easily
done, but one OF two points should
be very carefully observed. Do not
attempt to mount a photograph on
cheap glass. The effect will not be
satisfactory. Select a good plate,
clean it thoroughly and place it
where it will rest steadily under a
considerable pressure. Soak four
ounces of gelatin for half an hour
in cold water, then place in a glass
jar, adding 1G ounces Of water. Put
the jar in a large dish OF warm wa
ter and dissolve the gelatin. When
dissolved, POUR in a shallow tray.
Have the prints rolled on a roller,
albumen side up. Take the print by
the corners and pass rapidly through
the gelatin, taking care to avoid
air bubbles. Squeeze carefully on
to the glass. The better the quality
of glass the better the effect.

GOMEZ HAS CONFIDENCE.
Full Faith in the Solemn Promises Of the
United States.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. GLOWING is
an extract OF Il letter received by
Scnor Quesada from General Gomez
written October 20:
II have full confidence in the
solemn promises made by the con-
yress Of Washington and for that
reason I do not have any fear as to
the independence Of Cuba. Some
time must elapse before our ideal can
| be realized, but after SO many struy-
giles and privations we can wait ii
little longer.
"The military occupation by the
United States is to Il certain extent
necessary to prepare and hurry the
evacuation Of the Spanish and bring
about harmony among the different
factions in Cuban politics.
"During this military occupation
the republican government will be
organized. Its decisions will be finally
accepted by all; order will reign every
where.
''Those wEro speak Of annexation
Try to satisfy, above ali, their spite,
propagating unfounded fears as tC
personal safety and private property.
''The final success Of our struggle
has required necessary destruction OF
property which the enemy used tC
it's advantage, but We have never
attacked individuals.
"The struggle against Spain is
now ended: we commence nova more
delicate and difficult task-namcly
to make our republican political sys
TEN triumph and to reconstruct thu
country.
"It is not an easy labor and al
men who love their country should
contribute to it. For that reason
! cannot retire now, notwithstanding
my 81 years.
"Most Of the officers and soldier
went into the field obeying my orders
,, l cannot abandon them until thei
future is assured. They lost every
i, thing they had: they have a right t.
some compensation, and above all tn
other salaries: the new guvernmen
must secure them. Their abandon
nent cannot occur until the Span
ia1ds have evacuated: my men cannO
be abandoned without bread or Worl
to the mercy of their enemies. /
solution could be found, perhaps, il
+, the plan which the American gov
G erument is said to lave Of creating
+ native civil guard formed in the ma
] jority Of Cuban soldiers. This organ
iZation would offer the advantage Q
not exposing the American troops t
! the deadly climate Of the island an
. at the same time the United State
y would have people who knew tn
: country thoroughly. In the mean
: : while and until the evacuation oc
= ours, food must be provided for NJ
" soldiers.
!, s:The evacuation should be as rapi
" as possible and afterwards evcrythin
will be arranged, tor the America
government viii fulfil it's nor;
pledges to us. Some people hay
tried to make lis suspicious SO as t

MAY BE THE TERESA.
Officers Have Been Sent to Cat Island
to Investigate.

Washington, Nov. S.-A message
received at the navy department to-
day from Captain Crownnshield,
chief Of the navigation bureau, who
is in New York, called attention to
the report that the Spanish cruiser
Maria Teresa had been seen Off Cat
island.
a telegram was sent to the com
mandant Of the Norfolk navy yard
directing him to place the Vulcan in
command Of Captain McCalla and
send her with all dispatch to look for
the Teresa. y similar order was
cabled to Captain Converse at Guam
tanamo, directing him to send the
wreching tug Potomac from that
place nOrthvard on the same quest.
The department. believes that she
will be in the vicinity of Cat island
within 36 hours.
Cat island lies about 80 miles south
west Of the spot where the Teresa
was last seen, and it is said at the
department that if the vessel did not
founder outright within a few hours
after having been cut ad"i't, s.:c
would almost certainly have fetched
up on the shoal beach Of Cat island
for the wind and tide set directly On
that beach. If so, the location is
much more favorable for saving the
ship than the position occupied by
her off Santiago, where the bottom
was covered with rocks and the
wrcckcrs worked under great hsad~
vantage.
1t is the belief or naval construct
ors that the Teresa took watera aboard
almost altogether through tile decks,
and not through the hull, us would
appear from the first reports Of the
loss Of the ship. These decks were
rude temporary constructions and
were entirely unsuitcd for rough
weather.
