Huntec-CIammyF Farewell of
HoodGo Woman.

Among the trials which the officers
CT Admiral SIMPSONS feet have en-
countered since they returned from the
war is the persistent young woman
who means we'll but doesn't know. This
young woman has been much in evil
dence in the Brooklyn navy yard, and
tie officers are becoming used to her.
An illustration Of her persistency &C.
CURED on board the Texas day or two
after Commodore Philip had received
his new commission.
\ Sun reporter whose acquaintance
with Commodore Philip was of several
years standing was sitting with him
in his cabin looking over the newly-ar-
rived parchment. The ship was quite
crowded with visitors. Commodore
Philips cabin-he was still captain of
the vessel-had been stripped of fur
niture and hangings, but an orderly at
the door to his private apartments kept
those out who were not callers. This
orderly was kept pretty busy and oc-
casionally the door to the captain s
room was left unguarded. At such
times visitors roaming about the ship
would stop to look into the room, but
beyond staring at Commodore Philip
caused him little annoyance.

A Fifth Season.

In northern Russia the month of Oc-
tober is characterized by features SO re-
markable that it is reckoned as a fifth
season, coming between autumn and
winter, and called the rasputnya sea-
son. 1t is nearly coincident in time
with our Indian summer, but is more
regular in its occurrence, and lasts
longer. The word 'rasputnya," says
Mr.. Trevor-Battye, recent traveller in
Russia, means 1.-The separation of the
roads" During the season bearing this
name the country is impossible, owing
TO the thawing of the first frosts and
the blocking of the streams with broken
ice. The land resembles quagmire,
and even the government postal service
is suspended for a month.-1outh's

"Come In, Old Pard.'

The land crab, big, noisy, of weird
iocomotion and most Objectionable ap-
pearance, was among the horrors
which our soldiers encountered as
they moved from Siboney to Santiago.
Most of the men had never seen such
creatures, and regarded them with eX-
treme aversion. Often these noisy
creatures invaded the tents of the men,
and violence and profanity followed.
But some of the rough riders had seen
such things before. One night an east
ern man was visiting rough rider
from Arizona, when in walked the big
gest land crab of the season. UGH"
cried the visitor. Look at that"
Why" said the rough rider, delighted
ly, ''how home like!" And extending
his hand toward the ugly intruder, he
cried: 'Come in, old pard. 1 knew
your brother in old Arizona" The
eastern man fled, leaping over the "old
pard" as he departed.-N. Y. Herald.

Prosperity.


A mans condition depends almost
entirely upon himself. Luck is but a
small factor to most men in attaining
wealth. Industry, perseverance and
good Judgment make the foundation
upon which man builds well. The

men has been upon farm. Opportu-
nltleS are as good at present as they
have been in the past. Fine hard
wood farming lands in northern Wis
consln adjacent to the Wisconsin Cen

reasonable figures and on easy terms.

Savage Dogs CT the Far North.

Labrador has dogs so fierce that a
log of wood is tied to their necks to
render them less dangerous to men
and weaker dogs. In Kamchatka the
dogs are severely trained to haul
heavy loads across the ice and their
tempers get soured, consequently they
are surly brutes, and their drivers
manage them by stunning them with
blows over the head. which is not very
good for their intellects.-N. Y. Sun.

SIEGE OF PARIS
An Interesting Lecture by the Very Rev. J. B. Hogan on the "Dark
 Days in France"

There was a large audience in Metro politan Temple last night to listen to the lecture by the Very Rev. J. B. Hogan, S.G.D.D., president of St Johns Semi nary of Boston, on Personal Reminis- censes of the Siege of Paris" The hall was decorated with the national colors anG evergreens.
 Prior to the appearance of the lecturer there was presented a varied programme which included an introductory address by J. J. O'Toole, president of St. Ignatian Council of the Young Mems Institute, under whose auspices the lecture was given; an address by Judge R. '. Hayne, president of the evening; an instrumental duet by Messrs. Brennan and Brusher; vocal selections by the Columbia quartet, and a selection by the orchestra
 The principal speaker, the officers of the council, a number of the local clergy and prominent members of the Young Mems Institute occupied the platform.
 The orchestra, after rendering a patri- otic overture, played "The Star-SDangIed been rendered the entire audience rose and remained standing till the last note was played and then gave vent to it's appreciation by loud applause.
 Judge Hayne delivered a brief address in which he alluded to what the reverend speaker would tell the assemblage.
 The reverend lecturer, who was a res ident of the city of Paris during the try ing times of the Franeo-Prussian war, gave a most interesting account of the terrible days when the capital of France was in a state of siege, telling of what he saw from the beginning to the end and detailed the causes that led to the war which terminated in the triumphal entry of the German army into the Queen City of the world The speaker was frequently applauded.

WARNING TO KLoND1KERs.
The Treasury Department Calls At tention to Interruptions Trans
 portation ComDanies

A warning has been sent out by the Treasury Department to all person who contemplate going to the gold regions in Alaska and the Northwest Territory to beware of fraudulent transportation com panes.
 Three cases have been brought to the attention of the department where per- sons were induced to sign contracts with some of the companies. The contracts were cleverly worded and promised not only to bring the gold seekers into the land of promise, but also to furnish them with the necessary equipments and SUD- plies. In many cases a list of bankers and business men, who were located as rule in Europe or Mexico, is appended to the prospectus as references.
 Instead of taking the promised care of the Argonauts the willy employees of the transportation companies have carried them up to Vancouver or some other northern port and there abandoned them. As a rule the price charged for transpor- tation and all other accommodations has been $500. As 1t costs. as a rule, some thing less than $50 to carry passengers to these points the interruptions "com- panies" have been making large profits out of their enterprise.

VALENTINE WISHES
 TO DISCUSS MATTERS
DOES NOT WANT WELLs-FARGo
 SUED FOR WAR TAXES.
Will Urge the Merchants Association Not to Begin Action Against the Transportation
 Company.

From appearances it Is safe to conclude that J. J. Valentine, president of Wells Fargo & Co.,, has decided not to commit himself for his organization in writing n the matter of evading the payment of war taxes. few days ago the directors of the Merchants Association came to the conclusion that Wells-Fargo's Ex- press Company is doing a high-handed piece of business in charging its pat rons with the 1-cent war tax, which the law says shall be paid by common car riers when the latter give receipts and furnish bills of ladng. No sooner did the directors reach this conclusion than they sent a communication to the United states District Attorney, notifying him that the law Is being violated and de- manding of him that he prosecute the Of lehqers There was nothing for the Fed eral oIncial to do but to comply with the qefhands or the merchants and after con- lerrlng with the officers of the associa- ton as 10 the best mode of procedure plans to the desired end were adopted
 These decided and speedy actions on the part or the officials and merchants evil dently induced MT. Valentine to bestir
 hmseI' TOT on Saturday afternoon he called upon the officers of the association and asked that no civil or other proceed ngS be begun until he could draw ID and present to that body a communication. While willing to do all possible to ac- commodate the president of the express company the work of getting the cases
 n shape was continued Yesterday the officers of the association were informed oy Mr. Valentine tHat he did not desire 10 write what he could tell in much less
 lime and with much less trouble What le wants now is the privilege of address ng the directors of the association at an early date. The merchants considered the request and came to the conclusion that
