CAPT. McCALLA's tribute to the
newspaper correspondents in his
speech at the Chicago jubilee ban
quet will be thoroughly appreciated,
as Curtis, the famous correspondent,
observes, and the compliment will be
heartily returned by the Woodworking
gentlemen to whom he referred. The
Chicago Record says: There is no
doubt that Capt. McCalla saw more
active and arduous service in the
Cuban campaign than any other COM
mander in SIMPSONS fleet. He was
sent on blockading duty to the south
ern coast of Cuba as soon as hostili-
ties were declared. and the cruiser
Marblehead, which he commanded,
was constantly in motion until the
protocol was signed. His most inn
portant achievements were the cap
ture of Guantanamo and the discov-
erv of Gerry era's fleet in the harbOr of
Santiago.

An Aurora, ILL.,, man who had often
warned his wife against wearing her
chatelaine watch exposed to view when
going down town or to Chicago, was
laughed TO scorn by her for dozen
years. His wife's luck changed, how
ever, and it was finally stolen. The
husband extends his sincere thanks to
the pickpocket for the gentlemanly
way in which he taught the lesson, and
informs him through the papers that
he will make no effort to recover the
trinket. He now offers to start So
ciety for the prevention of women
wearing their watches on the outside
of their garments in public places.

than a daughter always accompany
ing her on her many missions Of mercy
in the neighborhood of the White lodge,
the beautiful residence of the Teck
family at Richmond park.
The early life of the Duchess Of York
was passed in the apartments at Ken
sington palace, where she was born, as
were her three brothers. The only girl
in the family it was perfectly natural
that she should be the idol of parents
and brothers. But this boyish associa-
ton and the sharing with her brothers
in all their sports, pastimes, joys and
sorrows did not in the slightest degree
spoil the beautiful womanliness of her
character, as her life since has borne
witness. 1t simply caused her to grow
up typical English girl, full of health,
life and vivacity, fond Of fun and ex-
ceedingly kind-hearted.
Referring to her early years, the
duchess said: 81 was very naughty,
very happy and very uninteresting."
She was educated by a governess who
is now gouvernante of the royal chill
dren. The musical part of Princess
Mays education was entrusted to Sig
nor Tosti, the composer, and under his
care she became an accomplished plan
ist and a sweet singer. German and
French, she, of course, acquired in her
earliest years, and today she can con-
verse fiuently in either tongue. Draw
ing and painting do not appear to have
been favorite studies with the young
princess, but she was devoted to books,
not merely Of the story book order, her
delight being in the great masters Of
English prose and verse. The Duchess
of Teck was not unduly strict regard
. ing the books which her daughter read,
| and Princess May was permitted lit
| tie stronger mental food than the lit
| erature specially prepared for the
| young person." The choice Of books
was left largely to the princess taste
and discretion, with the consequence
| that she was generally acquainted with
| the book of the hour. This habit Of her
! girlhood remains, and in spite OF the
| multudinous duties of the last few
years, the Duchess Of York is one Of the
| best read women Of the day.
| When the Princess May WAS about

the city Of St Paul without molestation
for period of years not less than fifty,
the executive committee Of the Trades
and Labor assembly passed resolutions
indorsing the proposition of Mr.. Helm
to hold a mass meeting to enable the
citizens to protest against the endow-
ment of New Jersey corporation at the
public expense, and instructed the sec
rotary to petition the charter commits
sion to protect the people by providing
against such enormous special and eX-
elusive privileges. The members Of the

half days march, no matter in what
part of the rockies you went to pros
pect. The news of successes spread
very fast, and the man who had made
find Of $1,000 in placer mining was
known everywhere. There were thou
sands and tens of thousands mining
and the discoveries were comparatively
few. Up in Alaska there are only a
few thousand men at work, and they
can labor only small part Of the year.
Still they are turning out enormous
amounts of gold. I know of dozens
of men who have made fortunes, and
must be beyond conception enormous.
I shall not be surprised if $3.50, 900, 900
worth of gold is taken out of the Kion-
dixie next year. There will be more

mo, indeed" was the reply. 81 be-
lieve there is just as much gold in
Alaska as there is in British Columbia.
The Yukon river is 1900 miles long and
there is gold all along it. The sands Of
the Alaskan islands contain gold, and I
am told you can find color in almost
any dirt you wash. You see, the forces
Of nature have been at work during
the ages in Alaska to produce placer
gold. 1t is my belief that most of the
placer gold is found in the troughs of
glaciers. We used to think that the
gold in the mother lode of California
was in the bed of an ancient river,

worth from $3,O00,0OO to $4,000, 900. There
is Alva Adams, who is now governor
and who is worth $1,000, 900. He would
give half Of what he has to be called
up higher. Tom Patterson, Of the
Rocky Mountain News, is another mill
lionaire with senatorial ambitions.
Dave Moffat could give $1,000 600 for
such an honor and not miss 1t, and J. B.

and Is devoured with ambition. On the
top Of all this. Senator Ed Wolcott Is
hustling with all his might for a. re-
election. He Is a man who cares moth
ing for money and who can make and
lose fortune without batting his eye.
Wolcott's brother is rich, and Wolcott
himself has mines and stocks and gold
galore. Whether the thing is put up
at auction or not. there will be a lively
contest as to who shall be Wolcott's
successor, and from what I can hear
Senator Wolcott will be there

grounds around the house. Society
she had no particular fancy for, but
when she did attend a ball or concert
graceful figure, fair hair, blue eyes,
and fresh young face captivated every
one.
The princess own pleasure really
lay in simple and free life in her
country home. She would visit the
infrm and sick people in their cottages
near White lodge, and always set
aside portion Of her by no means eX-
travagant allowance of pin money for
charity. Of the many stories told of
her kindness to the sick, none are
more touching than the one relating
to cripple lad in Richmond who was
dying of consumption. The princess
used to visit him almost daily during
the last of his illness, and her visits
were not mere formal calls and a dol
ing out of jellies and grapes; she gave
her time and sympathy to the sick lad,
would sit by his bed and talk and read
to him. Her last visit was paid to him
one Sunday morning on her way to the
pretty little church In Richmond Vale,
where she always attended. 1t was
apparent that the boy was rapidly
sinking, and feeling that she might
not see him alive again, the princess
stopped down and kissed him, her own
tears mingling with those of the
mourners around his bed 1t was little
acts like these which made the young
lady from White lodge" so beloved in
the locality; and to show their appre-
citation of her kindness the toWns-peo-
pie of Richmond presented her with a
pony phaeton upon her twenty-first
birthday.
In one respect the Duchess of York
sets an example to the philanthropic
women of the world. She is not con-
tent to merely relieve distress and
poverty, but endeavors TO seek the
cause of the evil, and lends her influ-
ence to the various schemes for re-
medal social reform. State schemes
for lettering the condition Of the work
ing classes, the destruction Of crook
cries." and the substitution of cheer
full and wholesome dwellings appeal to
her, and she would as girl discuss
these projects with great earnestness.
Fair play and good conditions Of labor

time, and, following the example OF

fifteen her quiet. uneventful life at
Kensington palace came to an end, and
the next year or two was spent in for
eign travel with her parents, largely
in Italy. The winters were spent in
Florence, where the young princess
studied under Italian masters, and de-
veloped her artistic tastes. Upon re-
turning to England the Duke and
Duchess of Teck took up their abode
at White lodge.
Princess May passed an uneventful life
at White lodge, her chief duties being
to assist her mother in her charitable
work, and her pleasures to ride and
drive with her brothers and tend flow
