A WORD OF ADVICE
10 Those Coming TO Alaska or the Klon
Z. dixie Gold Fields.

10 Those Coming TO Alaska or the Illon.
dlI,e Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader com
ing to Alaska, to the Klondlke, or the
Yukon country. and that Is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
In the states. In the Dominion. or at the
supply stores here or further on. this
must be his primary concern. Upon the
manner In which the miner has observ-
ed or neglected this precaution more
than upon any other one thing will his
success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthfu1 and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection OF
foods that will keep unimpaired indefi-
nitely under all the conditions which
they will have to encounter Is impera-
tive. Fol-. instance, as bread raised with
baking powder must be relied upon for
the chief part OF every meal, imagine
the helplessness of q miner with cab
OF spoiled baking powder. Buy only tho
very best flour; 1t is the cheapest in the
end. Experience has shown the Royal
Baking Powder TO be the most reliable
and the trading companies now uni
forInly supply this brand, US others will
not keep in this climate. Be, sure that
the bacon Is sweet, sound and thor
ougi1ly cured These are the absolute
necessities upon which all must place a
chief reliance. and can under no cir
cumstances be neglected They may, OF
course, be supplemented BY as many
comforts or delicacies as the prospector
may be able to pack or desire to pay
for.-From the Alaska Mining Journal.
A book OF receipts for all kinds of
cookery, which is specially valuable for
use upon the trail or In the camp, is
published by the Royal Baking Powder
Company, OF New York. The receipts
are thoroughly practical and the meth
DDS are carefully explained, so that the
Inexperienced may, with its aid, readily
prepare everything requisite for good.

ALL WILL BE PROTECTED
NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN NON.
COMBATANTS WILL BE MADE,
PrOtestants as Well as the Catholic
Clergy to Be Saved from the Fury
of the Insurgents at Manila.

WASHINGTON. Aug 6.-Inasmuch as it
Manila has been directed by the Vatican to
place himself and his clergy under the pro-
lection of the American commanders it
may be stated that such protection will be
offered on exactly the same terms and con-
ditiOns that it will be extended to the cler-
gymen of all religious denominations and
to all noncombatants in Manila and the re-
mainder of the Philippines. 1t is known
that the insurgents have particularly
singled out the Catholic clergy as the OBJ
jects of their vengeance, without doubt in
spired by the powerful assistance offered to
the Spanish cause by the priests and friars
in their efforts to repress the rebellion in it's
earliest stages. However, so long as the
clergy refrain from taking up arms in the
Spanish cause the American commanders
naval and military will afford them such
protection as the rules of civilized warfare
require. Already General Merritt has been
instructed by cable to investigate reports
that some monks were made prisoners by
the insurgents and were about to be exc
cuted. This report came TO the War De-
partment from Catholic sources here and
appears. according to Consul General Wild
mans report. to have been erroneous. Still
had it turned out that the insurgents were
about to violate the rules of civiiza tion in
this fashion, General Merritt would have
promptly and firmly interposed, even though
the result had been to cause a rupture be-
tween himself and the insurgents.

NO PEACE FOR REV. COOK
THE AGED u. b. MINISTER OF DUB
LIN SUED FOR DIVORCE.
SpirituaIists' Annual Election Die
tated by n Departed Sister
Other State News.
Special to the indianapolis Journal


RICHMOND, Ind, Aug 6.--Probably the
most sensational divorce suit ever filed in
the Wayne Circuit Court was that begun
to-day by Attorney d. W. Mason. of Cam
bridge City. The principals are Rev. Peter
S. Cook and wife, prominent residents Of
Dublin. The suit is brought by the wife,
who asks for $4,000 alimony. The complaint
alleges that during the past two years the
defendant has been guilty of gross, cruel
day of the present year, while the plaintiff
was suffering with a broken arm and was
otherwise i'll, he took hold of her in anger
and madness and threw her so violently on
a chair as to fracture two of her ribs 1t is
alleged also that on Aug. l. of the present
year, the defendant locked the plaintiff out
of the house, and compelled her to go to the
home of neighbor for shelter On numer-
out occasions, the complaint alleges, Rev.
Cook has cruelty treated the plaintiff by
cursing her, calling her devil and saying
that she was going to hell and the devil,
and told her that she would have to leave
their home. as he would not support her
longer
Rev. Cook is past sixty years old and his
wife is several years younger. The de-
PENDANT was prominent in the affairs of the
United Brethren Church up to some years
ago, and was one of those who led the cru
SADIE against secret societies. According to
the statement in the complaint, Rev Cook
is worth $4,000 and has an income of 81 900 a
year. Judge Fox issued a temporary re-
straining order to prevent Rev. Cook from
disposing OF any OF his property before the
case comes to trial. The papers were served
him this afternoon.

They Send Maps.


New YORK Evening POST
Now that New York has taken TO itself
such a greatly increased area. and people
living anywhere within a radius of FIVE to
eight miles of the City Hall expect to be
neighborly with each other. directions for
their easy getting about are a necessity.
Invitations to club breakfasts almost in
variably contain a slip of route explanation,
and cards to private affairs not infrequently
also include similar engraved guide posts
A woman who had the temerity to move
from New York well out in Brooklyn had
a slip of directions how to reach her home
printed. and one of these she inclosed to
each of her New York friends with her Wis
iting card. The story recently told OF maps
of the locality being sent with invitations
to a wedding reception is in the same line
The distances about Greater New York are
becoming more and more inexorable, not
withstanding the additional facilities for
transit. Such seem only to open greater
stretches of space. Valuable time and
energy are often expended through ignor-
ance of how to proceed. a Brooklyn din
ner was delayed twenty minutes one night
last spring by the nonarrival Of the guest
of honor from New York. The company
finally sat down. and ten minutes later.
with many apologies. the DELAYED New
Yorker appeared She had entered the city
by one of the ferries In ample time 20 reach
tie house at the appointed hour, but the
ignorance of her coachman and herself had
given her a needless and effectually delay
ing drive before the house was found.
