how AlasI.an indiana man near..

William b. Otis, who has been all
over the world as one of the ichthyolo-
gists in the employ of the government,
speaking of his experience in Alaska,
said:
Strips of whalebone are folded into
the shape of the letter N, enveloped in
hunks of fat and frozen that way. The
fat thus prepared is left in promising
spots for great white bears to devour
Along comes one Of the monsters, Qulping
0 lump down whole. The gastric Juices
melt the fat and eat away the strings of
tendon with which the whalebone is
bound, the whalebone springs out
straight across the animals stomach,
and presently it dies. Next day Mr.. Es-
kimo comes along and gathers in bear
skin worth several quarts of whisky. -

New YORK, Dec. 13-The general de-
mand for cotton goods of all descriptions
has been well maintained today. The
only advances quoted, however, are con-
fined to few makes of low grade cam
brics Prints are strong in position, and
advances expected in some leading mar
kets of more staple varieties. Regular
print cloths sold today at 2H cents and
wide odd goods at 3 1-16 cents for 3S1@

were strong in all the leading makes and
tending upward. Light weight fine yarn,
and grey goods were also strong. Cling
hams were firm in price with fair sales.
White goods were generally sold up for
spring and firm in prices. Sales of dem
inns and ticks are improving and prices
of these and other coarse colored goods
steady. There was no change in the
wooden goods situation.

New York, Dec. REHABILITATION of

factory, the English future list showing
a barely steady closing at lower prices
and the spot market abroad showing sub
siding interest on the part of English
spot buyers The fact that the Liver
pool market for futures opened higher
and closed lower was regarded as evil
dence of inherent weakness III connection
with the withdrawal of spot buyers. At
the same time receipts in this country
over-ran the expectations of conservative
estimates, and adyices from Southern
spot markets indicated a hesitation on
the part of buyers under predictions of
renewed full movement of cotton at the
ports and the interior. The market OPP

which there was a partial recovery. not
withstanding considerable hammering on
the part of local bears. who tried to
break the market still further in order to
stampede some of the larger longs. At
the weakest interval some good parties
were buying cotton. a considerable part
of which was said to be for Wall Street
account. The upward subsequent move

YASUJIRO KABOTI

day by Miss Mary L. Howard, the invalid
sister of Mrs. Judah. 1t proved to be from
kaboti, man of whom she had never heard.
In it he spoke OF their previous acquaintance
and expressed the warmest regard for her,
as well as desire for renewal of the ac-
Quaintance. 1t was evident that some one
else of the same name was the person ad-
dressed, but the letter having been regis
tered, the customary receipt had been
signed and sent back to the languishing Jap
at Burbank.
In few days the japanese gentleman
himself appeared at the house and inquired
for Miss Howard. She came to meet him
and he at once said she was not the lady he
was seeking, but he could not be persuaded
that she was the real Miss Howard, even her
signature for comparison with that on the
receipt, identical in appearance, failing to
convince him that the name was by mere
chance the same as that of the young lady
he had formerly known.
~ How he was constantly coming to the
house and looking for the true Miss How
ard and how he was finally taken through
the entire establishment and allowed to
look into every corner, as previously pub
lished, was again rehearsed, to all of which
statements the Jap gave ready assent.
His own explanation of the matter was
that he came to this country six years ago
from Japan, where he had enjoyed col
legiate education. Landing at San Francis
co he had entered college at Healdsburg,
where he became acquainted with Miss
Mary Howard and learned to love her. A
year and a half ago he had lost trace of her,
but understood her home was in this city or
at San Diego; SO south he came to Burbank,
from whence he sent the registered letter
The signed receipt convinced him that Miss
Howard was in this city and he thought
Mr.. and Mrs. Judah were trying to palm
off some other person on him merely to get
rid of him. For seven months he had been
in Los Angeles and two months in Burbank,
previously confining. his residence to the
northern part of the state.
A letter in the finest of penmanship,
closely written and covering four pages of
note paper, Kaboti had written to lady
who had befriended him. This he had
passed to Mr.. Judah, who produced it at
che examination. In it the Jap told all
about his earnest quest for Miss Howard and
the devotion which he felt for her. asking
that his correspondent aid him in learning
her whereabouts. The letter was written
in the best of language, preserving here
and there the japanese idiom, but touching
upon subjects affecting other persons. On
that account it could not be secured for pub
lication. 1t cast flood Of light upon the
subject of the mans supposed delusion and
would be of interest to those who see no
method in his madness. So much method
was apparent that some think the man is
really sane, but terribly in earnest to find
the fair American lady who stole his heart
in Healdsburg --''''
