Cross of Gold' to be put on the stage he
fore a great while under the auspices of
certain advocates of the free coinage of

written by the Republican Congressman
Towne. According. to the report, MIR.
Bryan and Senator Hanna will be repre-
scented in the drama, the former as Mr..
Noble" and the latter as Mr.. Cash"
Besides these there Will be a number of
well known politicians among the char
acters. In each instance the actor play
ing the character is to be made up" in
such manner that 1t will not be necessary
to guess whether he represents Mr.. Bry-
an, Senator Hanna, President Mckinley
or some other politician. The other day

The Ticket scalping Business.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem }.

The claim of the ticket-scalping inter-
ests that only a"few railroad companies
favored the passage OF the anti-scalping
bill now pending in Congress has been re-
futed by the action of the American AS

Agents in session a Washington, which
has appointed a committee, representing
every section of the country, to secure leg

traffic. With state and federal legislation
arrayed against a system which, with all
its plausible pretensions, has been prolific
source of, fraudulent franchises, there
ought to be no question as to its final and
complete suppression.

Alaska.
From the New YorL

From the New York Sun.
Six sleeps in sleeper from Montreal.
AND a moon or so from the end of the
line,
And you stand at the foot of the great
white wall
That is white with the SHOWS that fall. and
fall,
Ger the cedar dwarfed and the droonir @.
That grow at the feet of Alaska.
Old and wrinkled and cold and gray.
With her white pail pulled DER her
stony breast;
Browning and frigid and far away,
She has ever stood, as she stands to-dav
In the desolate wastes Of the wide North,
west
Stands this hoary. old woman
Alaska.
Unmolested for thousands of years.
Isolated, remote, and lone;
Her hard face glacial with frozen tears
While over her shoulders and in her ears
The winds of the North-Land wall and
moan,
In the ears of old Mother Alaska.
A party of prospectors passed that wav.
Ana they thought the old face had for
gotten its frown,
And pausing, they pulled her white robe
away
And found her treasure: "Ah, q'est que
c'est?"
Said the French Canadian, kneeling down
At the feet Of old Mother Alaska.
They told their story and men went wild
And pawned their chattles and joined
the race. '''
The old Groom jlngled her gold and smiled.
And the gold-mad men of the world be-
guiled
With promise of fortune in that far
place,
At the feet Of old Mother Alaska.
But o, the rivers are wide and deep.
And the north wind breathes with a kill
ing breath;
And over the mountains so rough and
steep
The old dread reaper shall come and reaD:
The rhine old reaper that men call Death
Shall reap the white fields of
Alaska.

The fees in the Southwestern Railroad
litigation may be referred to as showing
what ii costs when a railroad gets into
court, and the interests which profit from
such litigation. Mr.. R. T. Wilson of New
York, the expert of the Southwestern, re-
ceived $4,000 for arranging the bonds Of
the corporation and for other services
the fee of Senator Bacon as an attorney
was $4,000; the services OF Col Miller of
Augusta and New York law firm were
put down at $4,000 each and Mr.. w. G.
Raoul of the Mexican National Railway
received $4,000 for the part he took in
protecting the interests of the South

fees which an Atlanta dispatch says were
paid.

Frank M. Baker has been re-appointed
Railroad Commissioner of New York
state. Some of the newspapers of that
state are criticising the appointment on
the ground that he is a Plat Republican:
one Of the boss men. Mr.. Baker will
be remembered in this section as the build
er, president and manager of the Darien
Short Line Railway Those who knew
him during his sojourn in this part of the
country thought he was clever enough to
have been a Democrat. SIN, while there
is regret at the discovery that he is a
Republican. his afiliation with that party
makes Republicanism appear much more
respectable from the point of observation
of this section. Mr.. Baker is doubtless
eminently fitted for the responsible posi-
ton, which he has held for several years.
and his re-appointment is an Endorsement
Of his ability

1t appears that the New York kiss is
more explosive, or at least more disas-

In the former city the other day a woman

that a certain man, then upon trial, had
kissed her, and that after the kissing.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-Col. Heck
er, with Col. Lee, Of the board which
was sent to Cuba to select camp site.
for the American army of occupation,
has reached Washington and has had
several conferences with the president
and Secretary Alger. During Col
Hecker's absence in Cuba he made sew
eral reports by mail and, although hs
probably will supplement these by an,
other report, he has already commune
Gated verbally to the president and Sec,
retary Alger the salient facts of tho
forthcoming statement Acting on this
report, arrangements are been made for
the reception Of the troops. Secretary
Alger has approved the locations Sc
lected by the Hecker board, for the
principal garrison, which will be in the
neighborhood of Havana. The place Sc
lected is about eight miles south of Ha.
Uana, in the neighborhood Of, but not
directly in, the town of Mariana. for
Col. Hecker advises very strongly
against the quartering of unaccIimated
troops in permanent structures which
may be infected with fever. Two
camps will be pitched at this point. one
on either side of the splendid acoue-
duct which supplies Havanawith water
This acqueduct will be tapped and the
water drawn by steam pumps from n
to supply the camps, which will be
pitched ON a plateau about 100 feet
above the level. The greatest care has
been given to sound hygienic conditions
In the selection. At the nearest point
to the camp on the sea shore a dock
is being constructed, and while it will
not reach water deep enough to permit
the accommodation of large transports
it will serve to receive good sized
lighters. The troops will be landed at
this point and marched directly to
Camp, the purpose being to avoid ex,
posure to possible infection in Havana
The work ON this dock is being pushed
with the greatest energy and It's con.
struction has given employment to
about l.5OO insurgent soldiers, who were
glad to receive the opportunity to make
peaceable living by toll
Col. Bliss, who was member of the
camp site board, has been left In Ha-
vana to carry out the orders of the
department in the execution of the
boards plans. He will see to it that

DEATH WAS VERY SUDDEN
LUDWIG A. REINKE FELL FROM
A CHAIR AT HIS STORE
Years, but His Condition Was
Not Thought Dangerous.

Ludwig A. Reinke, a tailor at $50
East Seventh street, died suddenly at
his place Of business shortly after
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Death is
believed to have been due to heart
disease. Mr.. Reinl1e was sitting quiet
~ at mis- desk, when, without warning,
he collapsed and fell to the floor. When
the two workn1en engaged at the shop
rushed to his side they found he had
breathed his last.
Mr.. Reinke was fifty-five years Cd
age and lived with his family at sos
Goodllue street. He had been resi-
dent Of ST Paul for thirty years. For
the last two years Mr., Reinke has not
been we'll, suffering from a severe
stomach complaint and general Ill
health. Part of the time he was I'M
able to go to his place of business.
Yesterday, however, he felt unusually
well when he went down town, ard
made no complaint to any one about
being Ill during the day.
Deceased leaves a wife and four
grown children. He was a member of
Minnesota grove, Order of Druids, and
also of ST. Paul camp, Modern Wood
men of America. The funeral will take
