After a week Of conjecture on the part
of Astorians II can be positively stated
that there win be no opposition to the
republican ticket IN the coming election.
Soon after the republican convention
was held Il was stated by well known
democrats that a citizens ticket would
be put in the field. The time for such
action expired last night, however. and
there IS now no possible manner IN which
candidates might De named. The council,
therefore, Will stand as now-Seven re-
publcans aud two democrats. With a
democratic mayor. This gives the re-
publicans absolute control. which they
have enjoyed for some time past.

GOOD order In the Alaska Gold Fields

GOOD Order In the Alaska Gold Fields.
"The River Trip to the Klondike"
is the title Of an article in The Century
by John Sidney Webb. The author
says:
Disputes, whether Of contract or
tort, miners rights, claims, or what
not, were, in the absence Of any civil
government, settled by miners meet
ings. The aggrieved person called
miners meeting, chairman was APP
pointed, and the grievance set forth.
II the meeting saw fit to consider the
question, it formed itself into court
by the appointment of q Judge and a
marshal, by the summoning Of jury,
and by following out the forms Of O
court Of law, so far as they knew them,
and some of them were experienced
men. The parties and their witnesses
were heard, arguments were made, tho
jury were instructed, and departed to
make up their verdict. This verdict
was absolutely conclusive upon all the
parties concerned, and in some in
stances judgments have been rendered
for several thousands OF dollars, which
have always been paid. Whatever
men learned in the law may think of
such tribunals, the result undoubtedly
has been that eyen-handed justice has
been dealt out without fear or favor,
and a community liable to most violent
passions has been conducted without
serious disturbances Of the peace or
of the rights Of others.
No shooting scrape has occurred, ex-
cept in a single instance, in which O
man crazed with liquor, after a pro-
longed debauch, attempted to kill a
who refused any longer
to sell him liquor. This disturber,
after firing two shots, was killed by
the saloon Keeper in self-defence.
The latter was tried and promptly ac-
quilted.

ner's Lake country, in New London
county, which has made such a
nuisance of itself in the matter Of
stealing lambs and poultry from the
farmers all winter, that special effort
has been made to Stay it, but thus far
it has succeeded in avoiding the guns
of score of hunters and evaded any
number of pole traps which have been
set and temptingly baited up in the
air for it.
j. n. Newton, foreman of the Fish
er's Island farm, killed big bald
eagle on the island. 1t had become
exhausted from some unknown reason
and fallen in the road. Mr.. Newton
leaped from his wagon and attacked
the eagle with the butt of his whip.
The eagle turned on him fiercely, and
it WAS some time before he could kill
it. The bird had spread of wings of
six feet four inches, and was beauti-
fully marked, having a white head,
neck and tail, and the rest Of its body
being of u mixed brown. Fishers

golden eagle, attracted there by the
large poultry farms.

the eagle seemed somewhat nonplused

denly few into the woodshed, leaving
her tail feathers in the clutches of the
glorious bird. The hen is still in good
health.
A bald-headed eagle was shot while
hanging over James Ways farm in

this specimen OF the king of birds into
trouble. While it was swooping down
upon the turkey roost Mr., Way poured
the contents of an old musket into it,

On Goose Island in Long Island

it to the ground. As he stepped for

dead, he was attacked by the bird and
badly scratched. Before he finally
killed it his clothing was torn into

CURLING.
A Scotch Game ZeaIously Cultivated by
Scotchmen In America.

A Scotch Game ZeaIously Cultivated by
Scotchmen In America.
The game of curling has secured
firm place among the winter sports in
all parts of the country where there
is heavy ice and where there are
Scotchmcn to teach the game to their
American neighbors. There are about
fifty curling clubs in the United
States, and the Grand National Curl.
ing club of America has member
ship of many hundreds in all parts Of
the North and Northwest; but still the
game is spoken of as 'Scotland's ain
game"
The game is always played ON ice
covered lakes or rivers, except in Eng
land, where it is frequently played
under glass roofs by men whose white
waistcoats, straw halls, floral decora.
tons and general lack Of Scotch style
cause the real curriers' to regard them
with scorn.
The curriers' who are members of the
New York clubs have their contests
on Van Cortlandt lake. and there is
probably no class of sportsmen who
60 about game 10 seriously as they.
The object of the game is to plant
the curling-stone, which has atea.ket-
tie shape and weighs from thirty.two
to forty.four pounds, near the 'tee"
or centre of circle at distance of
forty yards and to guard it there.
Next to the stone the broom plays
the most important part in the game
of curling, because, in the hands of
sweeper who is anxious to see the
stone advance to the circle where it
will count, it is welded dexterously,
so that every particle of snow or ice
may be removed from the stones
course. The "skips" or captains Of
the opposing sides have charge of the
sweeping departments, and the sweep
ers have the right to use their brooms
after the stone has got beyond the line
which marks the middle OF the rink.
The sweeping is always to side or
across the rink and not forward or
backward, where the sweepings might
obstruct the passage of running
stone.
Match games, called bonspiel, are
played by opposing teams of four each,
aud when II Is at home curling is es-
sentially democratic. II has been said
that the lord OF tho manor, the
clergyman aud the village blacksmith
may be seen on the same rink with
the smith as Skip" shouting to the
clergyman to "Soop, soopl" when he
thinks "soop," or sweep in front Of
the moving stone will help it along.
The enthusiastic curler sees and
hears nothing but the speeding stones
and the applause, the shouts of "Weel
curled, mon!" and the boyish shouts
which rise on the wintry air show that
n youthful spirit may live in IA mature
body, particularly If it be that of II

WILL CLEAR $4,000 CASH.
STATE WILL MAKE MONEY OUT OF
ITS CONVICTS.
Will Save Yearly a Big Sum Under
the New System Of Hiring Out
Criminals. Several Bids
Received.

From present indications the state of
Georgia Will clear from sixty-five to sew
enty-five thousand dollars annually I'M
der the new system of hiring out the
convicts of the state. Under the Ole
lease the state, while it got twenty-fv e
thousand dollars yearly for its convicts,
did not in reality realize more than six
teen thousand dollars, the difference be-
tween that amount and twenty-five thou
sand dollars being expended in running
the department of the penitentiary.
This sixty-five or seventy-five thousand
dollars the state will receive after all ex-
penses of guarding and medical atten-
ton have been paid. In fact, the amount
mentioned will be net profit to the
state from the hire of its convicts after
all expenses are paid.
The above estimate is made upon the
prices at which bids have been made for
them. The prison commission has al
ready received bids for all the convicts
now confined in the penitentiary. With
the commission the question now is, how
many convicts will they have when the
new law goes into effect, aud not how
many can they hire out. The board
commenced opening bids Friday, and
from present indications some of the
