Teslin lake is higher up the Yukon
than the point where parties from
Skaguay and Chllkoot pass first
strike the river. The theory of the
Rutland party is that there is as
good reason to expect Il find of gold
near the head waters of the Yukon
as 90 miles below. since it has been
demonstrated that the gold belt runs
along the river course.

Sled Stake and Pistol.

While Thomas Corcoran was rid
ing past the residence of Jack Rel
ley in the Cox Brook neighborhood
in Berlin Saturday evening, kcl-
ley came out of his house, climbed
into Corcoran' sled, balanced HIM
self and then drew Il revolver from
his pocket and lcvcled it at Corcoran.
Corcoran grabbed sled stake and
defended himself to such an extent
that Kelley became unconsci Gus.
The affair happened in the town
of Berlin near where the lines of the
towns of Berlin, Mortified and
Morctown converge. The attack
and trouble is only another outbreaks

The Springfield Republicans
Washington correspondent says:

The Springfield Republicans
Washington correspondent says:
"A good deal is going on under
the surface in the Democratic ranks
in opposition to Bryan, but Bryan is
SO logically the candidate OF the
silver extremists, and they have
such a firm grip upon the regular
organization, that it is difficult to
see how he can be rejected. The
democracy of New York, New ,Jer-
sey, Maryland and some of the New
England states would probably join
in a sound money movement if they
believed 1t would prevail. The
weakness of their position in the
democratic national convention will
lie in the fact that they cannot per-
suadc to cooperate with them in
1900 men who are not prepared to
accept the decision of the majority
of the convention, i'll case 1t is in
favor of silver. A few men who
desire recognition in the organiza-
ton and who were for sound money
in 1896 are endeavoring to bring the
democrats together, but there is
doubt whether they can accomplish
it unless disgust with the republic
can failure to redeem the pledges of
the party should cause 4 general re-
action toward democracy. Some of
the sound money democrats who are
engaged in an effort tor harmony
believe that the south will be dis
posed to follow the wishes of New
York in case OF a sweeping demo-
cratic victory in the Empire state
upon sound money platform this
autumn. Such an event would I'M
doubtetly have influence with the
south, but there are few indi cations
yet of any break in the silver combi-
nation which supported Bryan.

Well, hack in the good old days
when country fairs and patron saints
were plenty there was one st. Au-
drey, especially beloved of girls with
a taste for trinkets. She was a good
English saint, her name being a coz
ruption of St. Ethelrida. She was
reputod to have been rather fond of
finery herself. Indeed the qualities
which caused her canOnization were
SO interviewer with other pleasingly
frivolous ones that she died from a
swelling in the throat due to the
wearing of an overnight necklace.
So st. Audrey was the patron saint
of those who had II youthful love of
finery. and ST. Audrey's day was
the day of the country fair dearest
to those who liked to buy gewgaws,
1t followed naturally that the mer,
chants finally sold baubles that gilt
tered more than the pure gold in
them warranted, and by and by
whenever q trinket furnished Or a
silk cracked the gosslrs said, THAT
was bought at st. Audrey's fair. u

such long step. New York Jour
