tion to the Great General.

New York, Oct. 5.-Maj.-Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee received an uproarious ova-

fell bunch of roses was thrown upon
the stage.
Miss Nielsen had observed the gal
liant southerner in his full uniform of
ma jor general and promptly threw
the roses into his box. The attention
of the audience was attracted. the
lights went up and the general was
recognized.
Cheer upon cheer rent the air. Cries
of Speech" and Our next presi-
dent" were heard. Gen. Lee bowed
again and again. but did not other
wise respond.
The curtain then arose again and
revealed the entire company of so or
90 people standing masscd on the
stage. They gave three cheers for
Gen. Lee and then sang "The Star
Spangled Banner" the audience join
ing in with wild enthusiasm.

to high pitch of excitement. The

than men and women left their seats
and crowded around the Lee box.

and shook hands with as many as he
could reach. Some time elapsed be-

"Pianiste' and "Artiste.-

We observe with pain that impas-
stoned press agents and would-be gem
teel persons persist in calling a female
pianst a ''pianiste, thinking thereby
to determine sex by the final letter.
But ''pianiste" is the French word for
pianist, and it is a masculine noun as
well as feminine.
And so there is a mistaken use of the
word "artiste." Leonidas Sweet, the
formidable pianist, is an artist, but
Miss Eugenia Hammerkuis is a charm

VALUABLE DOGS IN ALASKA.
They Render Good Service to the
Klondike Miners.

Robert Krook, the Swedish Ktondike
miner, tells the San Francisco Exam
iner' that ESquimau dogs will draw
200 pounds each on a sled, so that six
dogs will draw years supplies for one
man. He, however, puts in the pro-
viso that the sleds should not have
iron runners, because the snow sticks
to the iron and increases the friction
so much that the dogs cannot haul
more than 100 pounds apiece. With
brass runners this drawback is obviat-
ed. Last winter Esquimau dogs cost
from $40 to $500 apiece, and he does not
think the price Will increase material
ly, because when the demand is known
the supply from other parts of Alaska
will be plentiful at Dyea and other
points along the Yukon. Sometimes the
feet of the dogs get sore, and then the
Indiaas fit moccasins on them; as soon,
however as the tenderness is gone from
their feet the dogs will bite and tear
the moccasins off. In speaking of the
dogs he said that they need no lines
to guide them and are very intelligent,
learning readily to obey a command
to turn in any direction or to stop.
They have to be watched closely, as
they Will attack and devour stores left
in their way, especially bacon, which
must be hung up out of their reach.
At night, when camp is pitched, the
moment a blanket is thrown upon the
ground they will run into it and curl
up, neither cuffs nor kicks sufficing to
bulge them. They lie as close up to
the men who own them as possible, and
the miner cannot wrap himself up so
close that they won't get under the
blanket with him. They are human,
too, IN their dissemination to get out in
the morning.
Where sleds cannot be used the dogs
will carry fifty pounds apiece in saddle
bags slung across their backs, BANNER
fashion. Nature has fitted these dogs
for their work, and so mastiffs and ST.
Demands are not so servicable. The
two latter breeds cannot stand the in
tense cold SO well, and, though at first
they will draw the sleds cheerfully,
their feet cannot resist the strain, and
begin to bleed so freely that the dogs
are useless. The pads under the feet
of the Esquimau dogs are Of tougher
skin.
