The Skaguay Trail.

A f. Pretty, of this city has received a
letter from Charles III. Pells, of Skaguay,
in which he says:
There is about three feet of snow on
the summit of Skaguay trail. and the
mounted police goods are going over every
day on horses from here. They make the
trip from Skaguay to Lake Bennett and
return in six days. and the days are about
seven hours long now. In my opinion the
Skaguay trail will be the only winter trail
There will be thirty more police here on
the next boat from Vancouver with sixty
tons Of supplies. and We will have some
of that. VIII keep you posted in regard
to condition OF trail and amount of sup
plies going over and the prices being
charged

4 RETURNED KL0NDIKER.
John simmons, m Old Railroad Man
 Found Pay Dirt

John Simmons of this city has just returned after two years spent in the klondike region. He was employed as brakeman on the Canal road before leaving for the gold fields. He left this city about two years ago with $1, 200 in money and says he has brought home enough of the yellow metal to pay him for his trip and the hardships he has undergone. He had some interesting experiences while under the Arctic cir cle. He says that old miners are con- stantly docking into the Klondike and that they find pay metal where greenhorn has perhaps been digging with no success at all. He says that for those who hire out there is good pay but that in order to pay expenses man must receive at least $5 per day. Food and clothing are sold at prices many times what they are sold for in New England. Beer costs fifty cents bottle and tobacco $1 a plug He says also that the great trouble with men who hire out there is that after work ing awhile for some one lse, they find gold in such quantities that they think they can make more by starting in on their own hook. They usually, how ever, meet with no success in working for themselves, and few find enough gold to pay their expenses and for the hardships they endure He estimates that only one out of 200 who go to the Klondike makes fortune. Varying de- grees of success attend the efforts of the other 199, and some of them fail utterly. At this time of the year min ing operations can be conducted only by building large fires and thawing out the ground. MT. Simmons has not de- cided as to what business he will en- crae ecc in

spectacle man finds that his wife is suddenly and temporarily insane, and cannot be trusted to take care of her own little children. The neces ssary eX- pense of her treatment is heavy bur den to the husband, and he asks us to take his family for a few weeks, ac- cepting the little he can pay for their board. It is a great pleasure to be able to send such little ones home to moth CT who has recovered health and req son, and to father thankful for the timely assistance which has enabled him to reunite his family safe and we'll.
 Our endowment fund continues to grow. This years additions are gift of ten shares of stock of the Boston Electric Light company, from Mrs. Henry Farnam, and one hundred dol lars from Mrs. T. H. Bishop.
 We wish to thank all those who have in any way contributed to the Home; those who have given of their sub stance, and those who have given of their time and strength, and in closing this report we wish to strongly empha- size the necessity that each and every manager of this institution shall use her utmost endeavor to increase the number of subscribers to the Home and to bring in larger collections. The city has grown rapidly; our income has not kept pace with it, but the demands upon us have increased With the growth of the town. If we are to continue this useful work and fill the same place in the future which we have in the past, it is necessary that new friends of the Home shall make our resources propor- tional to the growth of the community. The work is at hand. To save and com fort the helpless and home ess is worth doing and worth dong well. It cannot be done without money. Let us see to it that we do our whole duty and are faithful to the trust which we have taken upon ourselves.

Death of Charles A. bitter.

The many friends of Charles A. Dit. ter of 133 Winthrop avenue will be pained to hear of his death, which oc- cured Wednesday evening. He was the son of Mrs. Christina Ditter and the late Martin bitter. He leaves be- sides his mother, two sisters, the Misses Anna and Christina Ditter, to mourn his death. The deceased had not been in good health for several months, but the announcement of his death came somewhat as a surprise to his fri ends. He had been member of the City Guard and the company will probably attend the funeral in a body. Mr. Dit ter was aged twenty-eight years, and his quiet, unassuming manner made many friends for him. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon from his late home on Winthrop avenue.

Interesting Lecture Last Night by Col
 onel N c. Osborn.
 The young mems society of Connec- ticut, with the St. Paul's church, ten dered reception and supper to the young ladies' guild of the church last evening. The reception was held in the parish house. A quartet from Yale ren- dered some excellent selections, after which the Rev. MT. Phillips, assistant rector, introduced the speaker of the evening, Colonel N. G. Osborn, will q few well chosen words. Colonel Os- born's subject was "The War With Spain." He said that there were vari- ous opinions offered as to whether or not previous to the explosion of the Maine the Cuban war would have been settled amicably His opinion was that it would have been. He went on to say that there were three distinct parties who were desirous that the United States should intervene. First the so-called yellow newspapers" |" which were looking for sensational sto- ries; secondly, public speakers who ar gued in favor of war, and thirdly the Cuban bondholders. He fully describ- ed all the stirring events of the war. In closing he said the United States had gained three important ends. First, that all feeling of animosity had been forever obliterated between the north and the south; secondly, that Great Britain, as well as our own country, now recognized the bond of fellowship which united the two, and thirdly, that this country had fully demonstrated its ability to defend it's rights and that a new era of prosperity had commenced. A large number enjoyed his excellent discourse.
