to extremes in gratifying their tastes
in that direction. Shortly after 2
O'Clock yesterday afternoon two young
woman and little girl formed a group

"REMINISCENCES OF MRS. BEARD.
Renewed interest is awakened re-
garding the disappearance of William
Beard, the gso.ogist and mining expert,
whose death was reported in southwest
ern Alaska last Spring, by the ecntin-
ued adherence Of his wife to the belief
that he was not accidentally killed, but
murdered for the sake OF the valuables
he carried with him. II is stated that
prior TO his departure for the Klon-
dixie, Professor Beard resided in Phlla-
delphla. He left there December T.,
1897, On prospective trip in the inter-
est OF the North Star Mining and D.
veloping Company, Of Alaska, and was
last heard from May IS Of the present
year. About six months ago Mrs. Beard
left for Seattle, whcre she made tx
haustive inquiries. but failed to secure
any new information on the subject.
From Seattle she went to San Fran
cisco, where she is now staying. Or.
Joseph Hancock, president OF the North
star Company, said on "Wednesday that
an expedition Of United States soldiers
in charge Of Captain Abercrombie, han
gone into the interior OF the Copp'r
river region, to look for traces OF tn
missing man. Beard was a thirty-sec-
end degree Mason, and theMasonie fra
ternity, DIR. Hancock Gays, has interest.
cd itself in bringing to light the facts
surrounding his disappearance.
While the Wayfarer never knew th'
professor, he had the pleasure Of meet

che was here doing some work in con
ncction with The promotion OF the en-
terprlse in which her husband was en-
gagged. She was enthusiastic over tn
Yukon and K,ondiks regions, havinl
traversed them with her husband, an'
talked most entertainingly OF her ex
psrience in the far north. She de
clared that placer mining would sooi
ccase to be profitable up there, AM
that the real wealth OF the countr'
would only be obtained by working tn
quartz. Her references to her hueban'
and his werk showed concMsively tina
she believed him to be better poste'
on the mineral resources OF Alas0
and the KlondIke than any other Twin

Female Employer of thu Union Pacific May

Omaha, Neb.. Dec. 2T.-The announce
ment that the directory of all the in

present on their pay rolls has created

International Council uf women.

The arrangements for the interna-
tlonal congress of women to be held in
London next June are approaching
completion. 1t is hoped that this con-
ference will be most striking success,
and that 1t will do the cause of women
throughout the world much good. The
English council is anxious to give first
place to the foreign delegates, and es-
pecially counts upon the American
councils. as the United States admit
tedly leads the world In this direction.
Lady Aberdeen. as president of the
council, will undertake arrangements
for great arbitration meeting. An
other discussion that is likely to prove
attractive will be upon the drama as a
profession. A good debate from vari

method OF increasing the pay of off,

miral said. No. that won't do. The
word inducement Is bad. You Will get

DEMOCRATIC PLANS.
WOULD FREE ALL COLONIES.
After the Treaty Is Ratified Campaign
VIII Be WaRed In Congress to Estab-
lish Republics In Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines.

Chicago, Dec. PA dispatch from
Washington to the Record says:
Having failed to command sufficient
votes to prevent the ratification of tn"
treaty of peace, the Democratic leaders
now propose to organize for permanent
opposition to colonial policy and to
secure the establishment of independ-
cnt governments in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippine Islands. They de-
sire that the issue for the next cam
paisn shall be: Shall the United
States have colonies or shall we cut
loose from the Philippines and the
West Indies as soon as we have organ
lied governments for them?'
This is Mr.. Bryan's plan, and he ad-
vocatcd 1t with great earnestness
among the Democratic leaders during
the two or three days he spent in
Washington. He abandoned the fight
against the treaty With great reluct-
nnce. 1t took long time to convince
him there was no use in adopting m
issue that could not win, and that to
be defeated on such IN important mat
ter would damage him for the next
leadership.
Among the democrats ana fOpuilStS
who are going to vote for the treaty are
Bryan's best friends. including Allen
of Nebraska. Butler. Cannon. Gray,
Jones of Nevada. Kyle, Lindsey, Ba-
con. Clay. McEntry. Mclaurin. Nor
gan. Murphy. Petis, Teller. Turner.
Turney, and seve'al others who have
not yet announced their intentions.
This new issue will necessitatc new
alignment of pai1ies for many ardent
advocates of expansion are Democrats.
The people here are very few who be
licve that there will he any other issue
before the pcope at the next cam
paign The new wallgnment of the peo-
pie of the unitct States on this issue
Will bring together some combinations
that viii he quite as novel ms Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Carnegie. such MS Mr.
Hoar and Senator Tillmnn. ex-senator
Sherman and MI. Bailey. II will look
very queer to see them walking arm
stepping to the same music.
One feature of the new Democratic
policy will be opposition to the increase
of the army. which, it is believed, Will
he popular among the workingmcu.
When Mr.. Bryan was here the other
Gay he laid great stress on this point
and also upon thr competition of Ma
lay labor in the Philippines with Amer
lean workingmen, and the destruction
of the beet-rOOt aud cane sugar inter.
