Yellow Fever in Mexico

Laredo, Texas. August 31.-Within
the last week four deaths from yellow
fever have occurred at Vera Cruz.
Mexico. The authorities there are
making every effort to prevent its
spread. The physicians at Tampico
state that the yellow fever there has
attacked only those persons who do
not take proper care of themselves.
There is no danger of the fever break
ing out here or hardly any other point
along the Mexican border, due largely
to the climatic conditions and the ele-
vation of the important towns.

for the winter. There are plenty of
doctors, and a hospital. American
doctors are not allowed to practice.
1--WE stand the cold about as we'll as
any of them, if we do hail from sunny
California.
Many mines are being sold cheap
now, because of the scarcity of food.
On very few of the claims have they
reached bedrock, so very little is known
of their value, but all the creeks are
being thoroughly prospected now.
Nothing has been struck on Stu
art River, as far as known There are
wild stampedes about every day, but
very few of them amount to anything.
Henderson Creek was taken few
days before We arrived. Nothing GER
tain is known about it, but it is consid-
cred a good creek Sulphur and Do
minion are both promising creeks, but
we are too late to get in on them
Only 100 feet are allowed in new dis
tricts.
1T is rumored that rich strikes have
been made on the American River, but
it is almost impossible to get reliable
information about any creek.

it's tributaries The Klondike River

and $50 more must be paid within a
year, and $1,000 worth of work must
be done on each claim. That usually
means building cabin and getting in
wood for the winter
There has been and still is con-
siderable stealing. Should one report
the theft to the Canadian police they
will arrest the culprit, but you have to
feed the thief while he is imprisoned
How's that for justice?
THE police have stopped open gam
bling. There is one dancehouse open
nightly, and the opera-house has a
weekly performance.
I'm crossing the pass we found that
ordinary clothing and shoes We're the
best. The rocks are too sharp for
moccasins, and not being used to
heavy boots they cripple the feet. If
we had it to do over again we would
dress just as if the trip was to be into
the Sierras.
AT Fort Selkirk all kinds of furs
can be bought. There we bought two
bearskins, a beaver skin and moose
hide. We sleep on the bearskins, have
made caps of the beaver, and are max
ing moccasins of the moose.
Good native dogs are worth from

SLATER,s sEANCES.
He Gave His Ballot Tests to an APP
nreciative Audience.

John Slater, the inimitable," gave
another of his wonderful test seances
last evening to an appreciative audi
ence. Among other manifestations he
gave the ballot test, or reading of sealed
letters. He will repeat his seance to-
night at Pythian Castle, Ninth and
streets, at s o'clock.
Mr.. Slater certainly hit off his answers
last night to the satisfaction of his
audience and most of his questioners,
others being more or less embarrassed
by his answers and illusions to tender
subjects and episodes which elected
much rilarity among the audience. In
one instance a mother was told that
her son, from whom she had not heard
for eleven years, was not dead, but
could be heard from by writing to a
certain address in Melbourne, Australia.
1t is safe to say that if a letter to that
address brings her a reply from her
wandering boy, she will have full faith
in future in the correctness Of Slater S
tests.

Therefore I cannot answer such a
question. 1 can say, however, that on
every occasion when he talked openly
to me as a man and a citizen and a
friend he protested his innocence, and
while in the beginning / was more or
less prejudiced against him I confess
that in the end he so gained my con-
viction that I believed him thoroughly
innocent
Lately many people, and among
them prominent lawyers Of San Ra-
fael. told me that Durrant did not re-
ceive the trial he should have had, and
that they would not hang him or any
other man under the circumstances by
which the dead man went to the scat
fold.
"Durrant always treated me in a
most respectful and gentlemanly way
/ must say the same of Mr.. Durranti
the father, and also of Mrs. Durrant
l will also publicly state that most OF
the newspaper reports of the proceed
ings in the condemned cell were
grossly exaggerated or made out OF
whole cloth. Durrant went to his
death with feelings of forgiveness IN
his heart for all people, as he expected
and hoped for from his God He re-
ceived the sacraments with a docihty
and the simplicity Of child, and on
his Bonded knees he told the story OF
his life to his God and his confessor.
Nov about the belief of some thai
he died with a lie on his lips. He ever
proclaimed his innocence, and how
could [ believe he died with a lie on
his lips? Some people exaggerate TINS
into the malice of a mortal sin tha'
would damn his soul l do not take
that view of the case, and l think
many people who talk of him create
greater sin against charity than ne
did against truth, even admitting thai
it was lie. Remember, l do not JUST
fly lying. Durrant injured no one by
it. even if he did tell a lie. he nae
no blame for any person. He cast
no suspicion on any one. He did not IN
jure the State The State and the
people got their pound of flesh ano
made him atone for his crime Il
guilty. 1 have already said too much
on this matter, and this will be my
last reference to it. Now that l have
spoken L think it best to give the
whole story as it is. Now that he is
dead l hope that a morbid public VII
let his memory rest in peace.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The new company at the Orpheum is
one of exceeding strength. There IS
but one number in the whole enter
tainment that is Indifferent. All else
is fine. strong, snappy and first-class
The work of the three AVOIDS on the
vertical bars is something wholly out
of the usual and as brilliant as 1t Is
daring. The Picchianis sisters make
up the finest large team of acrobats
ever seen in this city. The six do
wonders in vaulting. shoulder building
and mid-air somersaulting from
shoulder to shoulder, and that too IN
full Woman'S dress, the robes seeming
not to at all incommode them. Both
the AVOIDS and the Picchianis are far
and away superior to any we have had
in their lines, and their exhibition IS
ample compensation alone for the
evening spent at the Orpheum. But
in addition, are Professor Galando, the
rapid nodeler in clay, a skilled artist;
the Clemence Trio Rose, Don and Ma
belle, in lyrical selections and Oriental
costuraery; Merritt and Blossom, Jessie
Millar the cornetist, whose reputation
as a musician is wide and flattering,
and, finally the Biograph with its new
pictures, the best of the order,
The Record Union yesterday spoke
pleasantly of Mr.. Dare, the old-time
clown -gymnast, lately performing at
the Orpheum under the title of "Piquo"
with the "Paulinetti and Piquo" team,
and gave him credit as an originator of
clever and especially clown work in
gymnastics and for which he is reputed.
His late partner, Paulinetti who during
the cnga cement was given full credit
as q highly skilled gymnast, writes to
the Record Union" Directing to the
statement that Piquo originated the
features of his team work, and claim
ing that even the suit worn was after
his Paulinettis) design, ETC., and also
that Piquo cannot do the athletic feats
Paulinetti performs. That all may be.
The Record Union" spoke Of Piquo
mainly as a clown in which role
he is admittedly superior. Paulinetti
says he, too, is remaining here, wait
ing the arrival Of a new partner from
Mexico. The issues of these two ar
lists do not concern the public. Mr..
Pauliretti Is given the benefit of his
claims, but 1t remains that what was
said Of Piquo as a clown artist of high
repute is correct. and made upon ex-
cellent authority, and in no wise de-
tracts from the repute of Paulinetti for
skill in his line.
