SEATTLE, Wash.-Our city is still
in fever heat on the Alaska PROPOSE
ton. There are about 20 to 100 crafts
of different kinds here in the harbor
which will go north to the Klondike
All kinds of people are in the city and
many strangers meet faces here that
can only be in town which is the
starting point for gain and wealth.
Others again meet friends whom they
have not seen for years The fact that
the steamer Mexico, Willipa, Corona,
schooner Lincoln and now the steamer
Clara Nevada went down seems in no
way to abate the frenzy of the eager
crowd of fortune hunters bound for
the Arctic regions and that Eldorado
''Klondike."
People are coming down from there
with every steamer and all without
exception with money. Many men
who in Seattle here were poor men in
last August are now on the fair road
to wealth and prosperity and have a
| nice little sum in the bowls. They
all advice no man to go up there I'M
| less he has some definite object in
view, or h&s a particular place to go.
Many students of the University of
| Washington who had been up at Dyea
| and Skaguay packing and making $40
! to SIS day are returning to outfit and
go through to Dawson city.
On an average 500 people go to Alas
| ka daily and people are piling into
| town at the rate of 1000 day. The
| hotels and lodging houses would be
unable to accommodate all people if
it would not be for the fact that they
are transient. Papers here come out
with an extra edition on every few
| hours and are coming harvest.
| Gambling houses are run wide open
here and many poor boy drops all
| he has saved by hard work to go North
in a few hours. Among others there
was Honolulu man who struck me
on the street who had dropped $3.50
in two hours bucking fora game. The
boy is still in town, waiting for money
from his father in Honolulu.
Dyea and Skaguay are on the decline.
Wages now are 81 and $3.50 day
Last August and up to December
| prices were up to $40 and SIS day
and 20 cents a pound for packing.
| Those who made and saved money
while wages were up are coming down
and Quitting for the North. Outftters
in clothes and provision are doing an
enormous amount of business. One
house alone put up 500 outfits to the
value of $250,0OO in a single day.
There are SO more steamers expect
ed here within a short time to accom-
modate the rush.

GOOD STORY ANYHOW.
A Neat Yarn With Admiral Miller
as d Central Figure.

A strict rule promulgated by every
successive commandant at the Ameri-
can Navy Yard, prohibits smoking on
Mare Island under the most stringent
penalties. Admiral Miller, sauntering
one afternoon in a remote part of the
island, came upon an Irish laborer Dig
ging a trench, and smoking a short
black pipe. He was putting away Sc
renely, unconscious of regulations, and
with evident enjoyment The admiral
who was in undress uniform, stopped
Don't you know, sir, that smoking is
absolutely prohibited in the navy
yard?" he said The Irishman looked
up, and, with kindly smile, answered,
"Indade, that's true; but here am l all
be meself, wild not sowl to say
wurrud to, and l thought I'd take puff
or two to relave the silence The re-
gulations are explicit, SIR replied the
admiral, land the silence does not ex
cuse you. What's your name, sir?"
can who may you be, any way?" asked
the Irishman. I'm Admiral Miller. y
"Ah, it's the new admiral you are?
IT'S the fat job We have, admiral. Be
careful to kape it. Me names Pat Nc
Ginnis.' Report at my office this aft
ernoon without fail, McGinnis,' said
Miller, who could hardly keep from
laughing At O'Clock poor Patrick,
who had made up his mind there would
be the deuce to pay, tramped over to
headquarters, and the orderly ushered
him into the dreaded presence of the
admiral, who said. "Sit down, Pat"
Pat sat down. Miller touched a bell.
The orderly appeared. Bring bottle
of champagne and two glasses" he
said. Not word was spoken until the
wine arrived The admiral filled the
two glasses and pushed one over to-
wards the Irishman. Pat" he said,
"give me the pipe-you'll not need it
again" The mystified laborer obeyed.
"Now," said the admiral, drink
hearty, Pat, but you'll keep your job as
long as I'll keep mine" Pat had saved
his situation by his native wit.

Priceless Pain

four bottles of Mothers Friend 1t is blessing
to any expecting to become mother" says
q customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, ILL.,, to the Bradheld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of " Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad-
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared iniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

Baltimore Sun.
Following are descriptions of the
ships composing the Spanish armada.
They form a powerful fleet.
The American ships which would
meet this armada are, as whole. su
perior in gun power to those of Spain.
Besides, America has five OF the
powerful fighting machines called
battle ships and Spain has only one.
Then, too, the monitors must be
reckoned with.

APRoPos of the call for a County
Democratic Convention on Saturday.
May 21st, let it be remembered that
the invitation to participate therein
Is as follows: "All white electors who
intend to vote with us in the next
election, and who desire the re- estab-
lishment of Anglo-Saxon supremacy
and honest government in North
Carolina are cordially invited to
participate in all our primaries and
conventions" Cannot every white
man in Forsyth county and in the
State stand on this platform? Then
what is the use of any fusion o
parties?

THERE is one thing quite certain
Spain will emerge from this war a
much poorer, if not wiser nation
1t is estimated that her loss in ships
alone, at the recent conflict at
Manila, amounts to $4,7OO, 900.
The market value of the boats
destroyed, in round numbers, are
placed as follows: Don Juan de
Austria, 81, 100000; Reina Chris
tina, 81, 100000; Isla de Luzon,
5000, 900; Velasco, $500, 900; Castil
la, $500, 600; Don Antonio de Ulloa,
81 ,O0e, 900; Isla de Cuba, 5000, 900;
Isla de Mindanao, 100000, and
others, 100000. But these
figures, as the Atlanta Constitution
observes, represent the smaller part
only of SPANS loss, when the
slaughter of her men, together with
other damages. sustained, are taken
into view.

IF you can grasp the magnitude OF
the SUM of one hundred and thirty
seven million, three hundred and
twelve thousand, one hundred and
eighty-four dollars and thirty-nine
cents, you can form some idea of the
cost OF war. 1t is estimated that this
amount will be required to carry on
hostilities until June 30th, 1889, a
little over a year. 1t is hoped and
believed, however, that the war will
be closed before one half this time
has expired.

INSURANCE REPORT FOR LAST YEAR.

RALvIGH April 2, 1S9s.-The report of
North arolina insurance business for last
year was issued today by the Secretary of
state The report shows premium receipts
for fire risks. $500 $50; losses 5000, 09o; life
premiums, 81, $40, 734; losses, S6ti9, 304.
Where does most of the insurance surplus
or earnings go2 We often hear good. honest
people speaking of hone industries and ex-
pressing deep sorrow that there are thou
sands and millions of dollars leaving our
State and lodging in the vaults and banks
of Northern cities. We are tagging behind
in the accumulation of wealth be cause we
are sending money out of the Sta e, out of
the country, out of the town, that should be
kept at home and used to art new enter
prises which would give work to the laborer,
bread to the hungry, business to the mer-
chant and demand for our manufactured
goods.
Any one must see that the problem is
| solved who was at the Court House at the
| annual meeting of the Farmers Mutual
| and heard those burning words of Capt. s.
| b. Alexander, Capt Samuel A. Ashe and
| ex-Chief Justice Shepherd endorsing the
| plan of the Carolina Benevolent Association
| and the last truthful and eloquent sentences
| of Jesse K. Wharton, Sec. and Treas. of the
| Farmers Mutual as follows:
| besides the small cost and certainty of
speedy paym of losses; the chief feature
! of our method of insurance is that the
| money paid out stays in the county, and
is not used largely in the payment of high
salaried officers doing business in costly
| buildings some northern city,
For every 81 paid out by old life and fire
insurance companies, only about 81 stays
| with us.
If he who makes two blades of grass grow
| where one grew before is esteemed bene-
factor, surely our organization richly de-
| serves this distinction
| These men are not in the habit of lending
| their eff orts and influence to a scheme of
| chance or a trap for the unwary.
| The Carolina Benevolent Association is
promoting a means of providing a comfort
able future not only for your family but for
| yourself as well and of keeping the money
at home. If you buy certificate of insur-
ance with this company it guarantees the
| payment of 81 900 at death and $500 upon
the satisfactory proof of disability, such as
the loss of a foot or both eyes, and $3.50 in
case you arrive at the age of % and eject to
surrender your policy. 1t offers the most
pc feet indemnity and is the cheapest Life
Insurance Company in lhe country. Why
Because 1t gives you protection at the actual
mortality cost of healthy locality and has
| the smallest expense element of any conf
| pany in the country. If you don't believe
| it is solvent and safe, reflect that Capt S.
| Alexander is chairman of the Board of Di-
| rectors who manage and control it, that
| Capt. S. A. Ashe is the Secretary and Treas
| urer, and that he handles all the funds and

A FEW weeks ago, Spain could
have had peace by simply relinquish-
ing Cuba. Now she has lost several
battleships and hundreds of men, and
representatives of the Powers are
considering a movement to- urge
Spain to sue for peace on the basis of
the REIMBURSEMENT of Cuba, the
payment of a war indemnity and the
occupation of Manila by Dewey until
the indemnity is paid. The longer
she waits the greater will be her loss
OF men and property and the larger
indemnity she will have to pay.
