RUsHING THE SIDEWALKS.

The work of laying the new grano-
lithic sidewalk in front of the city
hall is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible, and the labors of the men are
watched by big crowds Of spectators
every day.
The work is interesting to-iook at,
and those who spend d short time wit
Messing the job are satisfied that the
men engaged on it are earning all they
get from the contractors.
Some people wonder why the walk is
laid in sections, but this is done so that
in case there Is a crack or other defect
in the work when the job is done, the
difficulty can be remedied without tear
ing out a big strip.
The delay in getting ground to the
front of the city hall has been due to
the work on the stone steps These
had to be changed IN order to make
the first step level all the way across,
and as this was not finished until a
couple of days ago, the men could not
get to work on the granolithic side
walk before.

EASY TO GET FAT,

of their inability to digest the food which
is passed from the stomach into the bowels.

CRIME At SKAGUAY.
Twenty Thousand People without a
Government.


Seattle Letter in st. Louis Globe-Demo-
On the edge of civilization that which
is savage in man openly asserts itself.
Crime exists in cities. but criminals are
at constant war with officers of the law
and the nature of the warfare makes
each battle an attack from ambush. But
along the borders and in the newer places
there is no force to law, or no law at
all, and the savage in man drops all dis
guise and asks his neighbor, What are
you going to do about it?'
To have this trait of human nature
brought Unexpectedly to our minds by a
concrete example isl a painful surprise to
our nineteenth century ideas. Yet this
has been done by the reign of crime in
the new mining town of Skaguay. For
several months the criminal element has
held undisputed sway, and even now the
troops of the United States, but lately
landed In the gateway to the new gold
fields of Alaska, are tightening the first
ropes of the net which is to entrap the
feet of all who disregard the common
ethics of mankind.
The government and laws of Alaska are
a little more weak and rrail than has
been the case of former frontier mining
districts, There is little or no national
government, and the law-abidng citizens
who form its rapidly increasing popula-
ton are not accustomed to dealing with
criminals first hand. There are plenty to
talk, but when the matter gets at all Sc
rious they are found wanting.
Such was the case when, short time
ago, man entering the theater in Skag-
uay was shot and instantly killed, and
| the deputy United States marshal who
followed him to avenge him was shot be-
fore he could explain who he was. Every
one said at once that the murderer would
be hanged, but jury composed of citizens
of Skaguay hesitated so long that he was
given a chance TO escape.
The sign at the entrance tells its own
story--"Admission Free"
Men are not supposed to pay. If they
have any money. as this man had, they
may not find it on their person when they
leave.
The murdered man found that he had
been robbed and objected to the method
of collecting for a ticket, whereupon he
was beaten so badly that physicians claim
he would not have lived more than few
hours In this condition he left the build
ing, and returned with the marshal ind
both were fred upon as they entered.

part of the population of Skaguay and
Dyea are gathered from those who have
been driven from the coast towns and the
mining centers of the West because of
previous records as long as the pedigree
of a famous horse They have not IN the
past, and will not in the future, shrink
from crimes that demand the sacrifice of
human life. That they hang together to
accomplish their purpose, only makes
them the more dangerous. They openly
said that the citizens did not dare bang
this man, or many would be shot. He vas
a gambler, and as such would be protect
ed by them. While committees hesitated,
he was taken on board boat all ready to
sail for the sound, and thus escaped to
continue his crimes elsewhere.
They need the moral backbone that up
held the vigilance committees of the past
1t is a serious matter to take a man I'M
tried and hang him. but where they knew
that he would not be tried some action
should be taken. Men are nightly held
up'' in the streets and yet nothing Is done
10 find the guilty parties. A man was
stopped on the street within block of one
of these citizens meetings and belt cut
from him, and no one cared to hnd who
did the deed.
1t is an old saying that "the mills of the
gods grind slowly, but they grind exceed
ingly small" and that would certainly APP
ply to the United States government. They
will be very slow to appreciate the need
of good government in Alaska. but when
they do il will be well and sufficiently gov
erned.
Until this is done vigilante committees
and United States troops, temporarily
quartered in the worst districts, will be
the only check to crime. Troops are now
at Skaguay and Dyea, and the department
has been urged TO keep them there at least
until the primary stage of the Alaskan
rush has been reached. BY that time
town government may be formed strong
enough TO protect life and property. But
until some such government be formed the
American public has the spectacle before
it's eyes of an Alaskan community of 20-

WHO THE CARLlsTs ARE.
How They Base Their Present Clairns
 to the Spanish Throne.

The talk of Carlist risings in Spain. and particularly the rumor that the person known us Don Jaime de Bour- bon proposes to put himself at tho head oi the Carlist party, may lncite q curl osity in some to know who tho Carlists are and what they stand for in Spain. Ferdinand V.. who came to the throne of Spain after the earth had settled from the Napoieonic earthquake, mar ried. for his fourth wife. Maria Chris tina, daughter of the King of Naples, a sister of the Duchess de Berr1 and niece of Queen Marie Amelle, wife of King Louis Philippe of France. Ferdi- nand, always miserable creature, like most Spanish monarchs. become more miserable after his fourth marriage, He fell completely under the domination of his handsome, energetic. ambitious and thoroughly unprlncipled wife. says tho Kansas City Star.
 queen Maria Christina was deter mined that the crown of Spain should descend to her family. But governing the descent was the decree of Philip V., which had been law in Spain for 120 years and which declar,sl that no worn- m could reign in Spain while there lived a male descendant of Philip ". In default of male heirs from the mar riaGe oJ Ferdinand Y. and Maria Chris tina, the lawful successor under the decree of Philip Y. was Don Carlos, Ferd!nand's brother. As 1t turned out the first child born to thls couple was a girl, Isabella, who fourteen months later, was followed by a sister. Even before the birth of Isabella, the Queen Maria Christina began q movement for the setting aside of the law Of Philip V. Ferdinand. for q considerable period re- sisted. but yielied at last. and on April C, lS30. ordered taat an incomplete de- cree by Charles N. In iTS9. which ap- pedre1 to repeal the Salic law. should be published and made perpetual All the Bourbons protested, and the King endca vorcd to undo his action by what was called d "decree of derogation," but on his deathbe1 ha declared that hls act was the result of misrepreSenta- ton and was. therefore, null and void. This restored his act intended to make his daughter Isabella his heir. When Ferdinand died Marie Christina was relSning as queen regent and the little girl Isabella was the heir apparent just as the Marie Christina reigns In the name of the little boy known as Ar fonSo NH.

known as Don Carlos. but who indulged in Jhe name and title at home of Carlos Maria ISidor de Borbon-y Borbon, in- fant of Spain. entered his protest be- fore the death of Ferdinand against all the proceedings setting aside the Salic law admitting the female line, and de clared himself the lawful hcif-apparent to the throne of Spain. Immediately on the death of Ferdinand the northern provinces of Spain arose and declared for King Charles. as he was styled. and these people We're called CarliStS. a name which continues to exist. Those who adhered to the existing govern mcnt, the government of the queen re- gent. were popularly called Christlnos.
 The cause of Don Caflos. dear to the Spanish heart as standing for bigotry and deSpOtism, seemed at one Ii me like ly to triumph. but was bei rayed by one of Its generals. Morotto. Don Carlos fed from Spain, and In 1s4. abdicated in favor of his son, the second Don Carlos. Cabrerea invaded Spain In 1Si9, but he neglected his former prac tice of murdering and nlutilating his prisoners. and his efforts were not sup ported with the former enthusiasm. The second Don Carlos attempted to enter Spain in 1S4S and again In 1860, when he was arrested and signed q re- nunciation of his claims to the Spanish throne. The present pretender IS third Don Carlos. grandson of the first, a son of Don Juan. He has made sev- eral attempts to overthrow the govern ment of Spain: the most formidable be- ginning in 1873 and lasting until 1876. The Don Jaime, who is described as de- sirous of mixing in Spanish affairs as head of the Carlists, is the son of the third Don Carlos.
 It Is a noticeal le fact in Spanish his tory that no real curse ever permanent ly departs from Spain. One of the per manent afiiictions of Spain is what may be termed Carlism. In no other coun- try is such party as the Carllsts pos sible. It is party willing to shed its blood for a government of the worst type of the fourteenth century. There

No Longer an Experiment.

The order for 100 steel cars recently given by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to the Schoen Pressed Steel Company of Pittsburg is a good illus- tration of the fact that the steel car is no longer an experiment but an accept ed type of railway rolling stock. says the Engineering News. It is a noticea- ble fact, however, that a large propor- tion of the steel cara constructed are designed to carry heavier loads than cars of timber construction. The new Pennsylvania cars, for example. are to carry 10000 pounds of ore, or l04, 900 pounds of coal. Their dead weight will be s7, GOO pounds and their length will be B feet. The competition of the steel car with the wooden cars of ordi- nary capacity will not be apparent probably for some time, but that it will come eventually the increasing cost of timber and the decreasing cost of steel construction makes very certain.

Origin of the Bedbug.

Doubtless there are many miserable people in the world who have asked themselves, as well as others where that little torment, the bedbug comes from. Long ago this insect was known to come from wood, but why 1t should confine itself to the wooden parts of beds and the framework of old houses was somewhat of a.mystery. One day n scientist found bedbug in the stom- ach of a woodpecker, which he was engaged In dissecting Pursuing his investigations further he found that bedbugs are plentiful on pine trees Pine cones are often infested with them, and it is now the accepted belief that 1t is from the pine tree that the bedbug gets its origin. It should ln- terest good many people to know this, though it will not make close acquaint- ance with the parasite any more agree able.

ODDITIES OF A WEALTHY MAN.
Queer Things Which Marked the Life
 of George H. Hopper.

Ot AAs iioPptEs
 George IL Hopper. who died on his Elmwood estate, near Cleveland, Ohio, began life as timer, and madc him self Immensely rich through a contract for furnishing tin cans to the Standard oil Company. About ten years ago Mr. Hopper purchased Elmwood farm, near Cleveland. and started in to lead the life of gentleman farmer. Many amusing stories are told of him in this connection He decided to turn 1t into stock farm. The first thing he did was to purchase Bell Boy, a stallion, for $51.Oo0. Six months later Bell Boy and the stables were burned. Mir Hop per became disgtisted with the idea of raising stock and gave 1t up.
 He was seized with the idea at one time that 1t was the proper thing for gentleman of elegant leisure to own | yacht. He had one built, and christened it Florence. In honor of his eldest daughter. When the yacht was com pleted It was found to be too big to enter the creek at the farm. and, there being no natural harbor at the place. | 1t had to be kept at Ashtahula, twelve miles distant Hopper hated the yacht from the day It was built. II was launched without ballast. and as 1t struck the water I big wave hit 1t, aud 1t capsized and Went to the bottom, with the crew on board. The yacht was raised, but Hopper never again put his foot upon II.
