PHILADELPHIA'S JUBILEE.
Brought to a Close BY Monster Civic
Celebration.

Philadelphia. Pa. Oct 2S.-The great
jubilee was brought to Il glorious conclu-
sion to-day with a monster civic celebra-
ton. Although President Mckinley and
others of the Washington party returned
to the capital last night, interest was
not less eager in to-day's programme
which was not married by a single unfa-
vorable circumstance. The day opened
with the rerdedication of Independence
Hall. and then Governor Hastings, May
or Warwick and the other officials re-
viewed the parade from the same stand
in the court of honor which the Presi-
dent occupied yesterday.
More than twenty thousand people
were in the line, the beauty Of which
was enhanced by many interesting floats.
The commercial houses had floats de-
scriptive of Hawaii, the Philippines,
Porto Rico and Cuba. One Of the most
striking floats was that representing
| the interior of the old Ross House. with
Betsy Ross exhibiting to Washington
and Hancock the first American flag
ever made. 1t was called ',The Birth of
the American Flag" One of the most
elaorate displays was that styled Our
Re United Country" 1t showed group
of American soldiers, among whom stood
with clasped hands Il Confederate and
Union soldier.
Other floats showed Hobson's raft,
Dewey at Manila, the Red Cross minis
tcring to wounded soldiers, the heroes
of the war and liberty, the latter repre-
scented by Columbia and the thirteen
original States.
The evolution of the army and navy
was introduced by bodies of marching
men dressed in the costumes of the
different periods of American history
from 1716 to 1861.

ktpIing Among Friends.

rom current Literature.
A writer in the san Francisco Areo-
naut tells the following anecdote as com
ing from the lips of an American traveller
who spent som, time In the company OF
Ruiyari hipunc ~ London lately
one afternoon We went together 10 the
loo. aud while stroliug about, our ears

the elephant house.

Nj. Kipllng of the keeper
A sick elephant. s.l: he cries all the
time: we dom know what TO do with him,
was the answer,
Mr.. kipunE hurried away from me in
the direction OF the lament, which was
growing louder and more painful ! fol-
lowed and saw him GO mp close 10 the
cage where stood an elephant with sadly
dropped ears and trunk. He was crying
actual tears at the same time that he
mournei his lot most audib.y. In another
moment MI. kiplng was right up al the
bars, and ! heard him speak 10 the sick
beast IN a language that may have been
elephantese but certainly was not English.
Instantly the whining stopped. the ears
were lifted, the monster turned his sleepy
little suffering ewes upon his visitor and
put out his trunk
Mr.. Kiplne began 10 caress il, still
speaking in the same soothing tone. and in
words uniutelligible 10 me a, least. After
few minutes the beast began 20 answer
IN a much lowered tone of voice, and evil

Metal Resources of the Arctic,

The close of the century disCloses for the
first time in the worlds history practical
purpose to develop the resources of the
Arctic circle. The discovery of gold in the
Klondike has sent a flood OF immigrants
into a territory which was supposed TO be
almost uninhabitable And now scientists
of Great Britain are making a careful in
vestigation OF enormous deposits of iron
ore some distance from Stockholm, Swed-
en-, within the area included in the Arctic
circlt. These new ore fields are apparent
" of limitless extent and of the greatest
possible value to the iron industry of Great
Britain, which is rapidly finding itself I'M
able to compete with the cheap products of
American ore These Swedish eposits are
said to be among the most valuable ever
discovered on either continent.
Following the discovery of gold in Alas
ka this may be taken as an indication
that the mineral wealth of the Arctic re-
gions may ultimately lead to the establish
ment of a large population in those parts
of the world nearest the north pole which
have hitherto been little explored, because
of their inhospitable climate. An ingen-
ious philosopher has outlined the theory
that the precious metals of the world will be
found in greatest abundance in the Arctic
regions, because, when the world was a
molten mass, revolving on its axis, the
tendency of all metals was, naturally, to-
ward the axis or the poles, and that when
the plastic mass solidihed, the gold and
silver were concentrated near the poles.

ed to have died al the fort and to have
been buried in that hurying ground al
though there was no headstone or mOnu-
ment at that place Tor him. The nscrip.
ton on the stone at Nashua shows clearly
that he died at then Duustabie, and by

Fort Drummer. The L was soon dropped

was afterwards changed TO Winchester. He
appeared to have removed there at about the
time of the charter, and to have become a
member OF the first church organized there

time next week.
Some pains had to be taken in getting
ministers then as well as now None of the
neighboring ministers lived this way. The
nearest was Rev. Mr.. Doolittle az North
