Ishpe1ning, Mich, March Through
a private report sent to number of
daily papers on the 4th inst, great
wrong has been done the memory of the
late John E. Armstrong, mining man
whose death occurred at Ishpeming,

that the deceased committed suicide
while temporarily insane. No saner
man lived than Mr.. Armstrong, as his
intimate friends can testify. He was
engaged at the time in making a spe-

in Marquette county, and it was while
in pursuit Of this work that the acct
dent befell him causing his death. Min

a WORD or ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or thu
~ -..' EI1On dixie Gold Fields,


-. K1Ondil1e Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Kondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
ton. more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
| careful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
| imperative. For instance, as bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
Lied upon for the chief part of every
| meal, imagine the helplessness of
miner with a can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
it is the cheapest in the end. Expert
ence has shown the Royal Baking Pow
| der to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
| ply this brand, as others will not keep
in this climate. BE sure that the bacon
is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place a chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
| neglected. They may, of course, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies as the prospector may be able
to pack or desire to pay for.-Alaske

49, rs RA1AiS0.
Texarkana, Ark, March ?. - The
fcrcest street battle ever witnessed in
TeNarkana occurred Sunday afternoon.
Five menwere engaged in the desperate
fight, one of whom was killed outright,
another MORALLY wounded, the third
seriously injured, while the other two
are in hiding and the extent of their
wounds is not known. The casualties:
Vincent Graviano, dead, shot through
the heart; S. Graviano, mortally
wounded, shot through the breast,
shoulder, arms and leg; Peter Darrigo,
seriously wounded in the groin and
leg. The tragedy occurred in that por-
ion of the city known as ''Swampoodle,' -
and all the participants were BARRIERS.
A. Gingotta and his son-in-law, Mike
Canela, were disputing in front of An
tonic Colu1n bus saloon and were:about
TO come to blows when the Graviano
brothers came up and attempted to
stop the argument. Gingotta and Cam
ella then turned upon the Gravianos and,
both sides drawing revolvers, the bat
tie was soon in progress. More than
80 shots were fired. The man who was
killed began shooting as he approached
Gingotta, who foored him with blow
from his pistol and fired the fatal shot
into his body. Canela fired more than
a dozen bullets at S.. GraIano, half of
which took effect. Gingotta and Canela
fled and are still at large.

A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of n Spanish Lady to q
Lone Soldier Boy.

The Kindness of n Spanish Lady to a
Lone Soldier Boy.
A recent traveller in Spain describes
touching scene witnessed at the depar-
ture of a regiment for Cuba. All day
long there had been heard the meas
ured tread of soldiers marching through
the street; all day long gayly bedecked
boats had been passing to and from the
vessel that was to take them to Havana.
The twilight began to deepen when the
correspondent saw a startling and
pretty sight"-the impetuous action of
portly, good-looking and welldressed
lady, who noticed young soldier walk
ing dejectedly along down the pier in
his travelling gray, with knapsack
strapped over his shoulders. All the
rest of the men had friends, their
novias, mothers, relatives, and made
the usual gallant effort to look elated
and full of hope. This lad had no one,
and it might be OWNED that he was car
rying a desolate heart over the seas.
The handsome woman burst from her
group of friends, took the boys hand,
and said: my son has already gone to
CuUt' he IS LII Cue eSSiu1cuC u A1udlu-
STA, and sailed two months ago. You
may meet him, Pope G.; take this kiss
to him." She leaned and kissed his
cheek" !. ......
An English boy would have shown
awkwarness, but these graceful
southerners are never at a loss for a
pretty gesture and a. prettier word.
The boy blushed with pleasure, and still
holding the lady's hand, said with quite
natural gallantry, without smirk or
silly smiles: "And may I not take one
for myself las well, senora?"" The lady
REDEEMED, laughed little, nervously,
and bent and kissed him again to the
frantic applause Of soldiers and civil
ians, while the boy walked on, braced

TRAININGS OF FiREMEN.
all Are Athletes and No towards Get
-. ~ Into the Department. q.ts +

%
. Firemen are athletes as matter of
course. They have to be, or they could
not hold their places for week, even if
they could get into them at all The
mere handling of the scalirg-ladders
which, light though they seem, weigh
from 16 to 40 pounds, requires unusual
strength: No'particular skill is needed.
A man need only have steady nerve,
and the strength to raise the long pole
by its narrow end, and jam the iron
hook through a window which he can
not see, but knows is there. Once
through, the teeth in the hook and the
mans weight upon the ladder hold it
safe, and there is no real danger unless
he loses his head. Against that posi-
bility the severe drill in the school of
instruction is the barrier. Anyone to
whom climbing at dizzy heights, or do
ing the hundred and one things of peril
to ordinary men which fremen are
constantly called upon to do, causes the
least discomfort, is rejected as unfit
About five per cent. Of all appointees
are eliminated by the ladder test, and
never get beyond their probation serv-
ice. A certain smaller percentage takes
itself out through loss of 'tnerve,' gen
orally. The first experience of room
full of smothering smoke, with the fire
roaring overhead, is generally sufficient
to convince the timid that the service is:
not for him. No towards are dismissed
from the department., for the reason
that none get into it.. .t.t Il .,:l}
THE notion that there is life-savine
corps apart from the general body OF
firemen rests upon mistake. They are
one. Every fireman nowadays must pass
muster at life-saving drill, must climb
to the top Of any building on his seal
ladder, slide down with rescued
comrade, or jump without hesitation
from the third story into the life-net
spread below. BY such training the
men are fitted for their work, and the
occasion comes soon*that puts them to
the test. 1t came to Daniel j. Meagher,
foreman of Hook and Ladder company
No. 3, when, in the midnight hour, a
woman hung fromthe fifth-story win
dow of burning building, and the
longest ladder at hand fell short ten
or a dozen feet of reaching her. The
boldest man in the crew had vainly at
tempted to reach her, and in the effort
had sprained his foot. There were no
scaling-ladders then. Meagher ordered
the rest to plant the ladder on the stoop
and hold it out from the building SO
that he might reach the very topmost
steD. Balanced Tins whara the s1iobt
est tremor might have caused ladder
and all to crash to the ground, he babe
the woman drop, and receiving her in
his arms carried her down safe-

THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI.

Greatest of All the River Systems
Upon the Earth.
How many Americans appreciate the
grandeur of their country's geogra ply
How many know that there is no river
system on earth which even distantly
compares with that of the Mississippi
and it's tributaries? '-~
The census tells us that these rivers,
all flowing through one channel into
the Gulf of Mexico, aggregate more
than 100000 miles in length. The
Amazon, the Nile, the Gauges, and all
the rest of the great river systems on
earth put together scarcely approach
this magnificent showing.
Think of it! A steamboat leavin g
Pittsburgh can visit % states without
passing through any artificial channel.
She can go up the Allegheny and
Monongahela, the Big Sandy, the Ken
lucky, the Wabash, the Tennessee, and
the umberland-clear into Alabama
before reaching the mouth of the Ohio.
-. Below Cairo she can traverse not only
the Mississippi, but the St. Francois, the
Arkansas, the White, the Red, the va
zoo, the Tallahatchee, the Yalobusha,
the Ouachita, the great bayous, and all
the tributaries of these streams.
Above Cairo lie the Upper Mississippi,
the Illinois, the, Missouri, the Yellow
stone, The Platte, the Big Horn, and a
score of tributaries to all these. The
superstition steamboat can land: at
1850 towns. and cities on he, way. IT,.
These rivers drain an area of $685.;
3O3 square miles, occupied by a popula-
tion Of 24,29S 1892 in 1890. 4s'r#2@ , /

3,393,379 and a value Of SIS, 535,O05. .
ri And so rich is that commerce that it's
annual gross earnings exceed the total

PEACH TREE BoRERs.-A great many
remedies have been recommended for
the peach tree borer the old way,
which is sure, but hard work, is to cut
them out with knife or thrust small
wire into the holes they have cut and
kill them. A very satisfactory wash
used and recommended in Texas, con-
sists in painting the trunk of the tree
one or two inches below the surface OF
the ground up to about Is inches, with
the ordinary white lead paint, into
which has been stirred little Paris
green-enough to slightly color it; the
dirt should of course be raked away
from around the tree before the paint
is put on, and then afterward be raked
back. All borers which may be in the
tree should first be hunted out. A very
small amount of Paris green should be
used, about one tablespoonful to 10
pounds of paint. In two years the
trees should be repainted the cost for
each tree to paint once is about one
cent and a half.
