THE ACCURSED THIRST.

There are signs that the Klondike craze is going to be crazier than ever. Much golden and glorious talk is go- ing the rounds, ana there are predic- tions that when the gold that has been gathered gets chance to "come out"
 this spring there will be as much as s15,0C0,0O0. It is said that not less than 15,000 men will leave for the Klondike from this State and Massachusetts within the next two months. We don't know how anybody knows anything about it, but 15,O0O sounds big, and the craze is big. If half as many go from this State and other States are are said to be going the crowd will be sufficient ly large for comfort or safety. There must be several thousand people in Alaska already waiting for favorable weather in order to continue their jour- ney to the gold fields At Skagua and Dyea, at Juneau and Sitka, at every point where Q convenient departure

is made to harmonize with the under bodice and Is allowed to hang outside of the outer cloak. This is an import ant trick of the wardrobe. When you come into the matinee with your velvet or fur cloak fastened, the foam of white at your neck should seem to be a part of the cloak, but when you push aside the cloak, the same foam appears, now as a finish to the under bodice
 House gowns are usually completed by scarf of some kind, and there Is just now a great run on black Gina silk matinees. The only elaboration on the newest of these is great billowy black chiffon tie that fastens into a pre- posterously big bow at the chin and swing in cloudy luxuriance of ends to the very foot of the skirt It has seem- ed as if the Roman scarf might become common, but the very best places still sell them at regular prices. They come in the most brilliant colorings and are invariably fringed deeply at the ends. They are three or four inches wide, two yards long, and are to be wound twice about the throat. The very best places also sell folded socks, very soft and foamy, of the finest white lawn, a made bow without ends at the front. This bow and stock are to show at the open ing of the outside cloak and as part of the under bodice when the cloak is re- moved.

An unusual design for braid trimming was the dominant feature of the dress pictured here, which was made of olive green corkscrew suiting. The loops up- on the skirt were of graduated length, and smaller ones of the same shape were put upon the bolero fronts.

The University of California has good idea. It owns 245 acres of land in Berkeley, California, land admirably located for the work of landscape en- gineers. The lowest part of this tract is two hundred feet above the sea level, with points in it rising to the altitude Of nine hundred feet, and in the rear and rising to the height of another thousand feet is range of low noun tains. It is proposed to erect on this area twenty-eight buildings for the uses of the university, and to have them so built and arranged and the land so treated as to produce the best land- scape results. A general scheme of the undertaking has been prepared by Prof. Gaudel of the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Paris, and an international committee of five is to be appointed to pass upon the plans which the architects and others may submit, the award going to the contestant who submits what, in the opinion of the committee, taking everything into account, is the most suitable project. It is understood that about s5,00O,00 has been pledged for the

New scarfs multiply so fast that it is hard to lay up such a stock of them as will use up more money than one ought to spend on a fieeting fashion. Among the prettiest are those of chif- fon in white, rose, delicate lawn shade, violet, lavender, gray or pale green. These are a half yard wide and from two to three yards long. They are finished at the ends with accordeoned frills that are edged with lace or a puff fing of chiffon to match. The scarf is wound once or twice about the throat

IS THE END NEARe

There is feeling that things are con- ing to climax in Cuba, and some think that the climax is going to be very favorable to the insurgents. The insurgents are said to be pushing their military operations in various parts of the island with increasing success and confidence, and Blanco, the Spanish Captain-General is said to be on his way to personal conference with Gen. eral Gomez, the revolutionary com mander There is also talk that Gomez might agree to a settlement pledging the republic to pay an indemnity of $1Oo, ,0OO,oOo to Spain conditioned upon the latter's recognition of Cuban inde- pendence and the withdrawal of her troops from the island.
 If these reports are true, and if Spain can get $1o0,O0O,ooo for Cuba she would do well to take it. Peace with some- thing like honor, and $1OO,o0O, ,O00, would do Spain much good. If she doesn't come off her perch pretty soon she may have to come off. without honor and without money. General Blanco has shown such good sense and moderation in dealing with the situation that much is expected of him, and if he is really to confer with General Gomez settle ment may be nearer than anybody has thought. But whatever happens our fine, friendly warship seems to be in its proper place in the harbor of Havana.

4 An Improvement in the process of separating gold and silver from the ores has been devised by Henry Rhodes of Denver. The preparatory method is to grind the gold and silver ores to the de- sired fneness and then added certain percentage of common gypsum, also re- 5dueed to certain mesh. TO the ground ores and gypsum is added water, and the thorough mixing or churning of the primal ingredients begins. When this mixing or churning reduces the ore and gypsum to the consistency of clay, the matter is taken out and moulded into any desired form and left to dry, which requires but very short time. After the bricks or slabs have become suffi- ciently dry they are ready to be dump ed into tanks or other receptables and chemical solution is turned on; and, the matrices being entirely porous, the chemicals permeate the bricks, carry- ing away in solution from 95 to 99 per cent. of all gold in the ore.

There Is talk that the southern negroes are dying out, but the Macon Telegraph records the fact that negro woman got off train there the other day, followed by seventeen children, the oldest of which did not appear to be over nineteen years old. The mother of the large family did not appear to be over thirty-five years old, and was as strong and healthy-looking as any, body. As the large family passed out, Gatekeeper Holmes jokingly asked the woman if she had any more children. "Lord, honey, these am all dat's left. I had some mo, but CT chimly fell on m and killed some of 'em," replied the woman candidly.

General Miles saw some fine uniforms when he was. in Europe, and he is go- ing to have fine uniform too. He has added gold embroidery to the sleeves and collar of the full dress coat. The design is delicate tracery of oak leaves in gold. The familiar epaulets have been abandoned in favor of the ] flat Russian knot, without fringe, bear ing the coat of arms of the United States, and the two stars indicative of the rank of major-g general. To this is added belt of Russian leather piped with gold bullion and embroidered in oak leaves to match the design on the collar and cuffs of the coat. The new features of the uniform are completed by sash of alternate stripes of yellow and gold, which extends from the right shoulder to the left side.

A fat man in France has learned something. A 34O-pound citizen of Lille who had bought a third-class ticket, after failing to wedge through the doors of a third class or of second class carriage, entered second class com pertinent and rode to his place of des- tination. The railroad sued him for the difference in the fare, to which his de- fence was that, having sold the ticket, the company was bound to provide doors to the third class carriages wide enough to admit him. The court, how ever, held that he must have known his own girth and the size of carriage doors, and should have bought a ticket admitting him to a wide enough com partment. It refrained from making him pay for excess weight.
