Half Mnlion Ibnars Gold Brought Out
on tho Garns,ne.
Seattle, WasLn., July 23.-One hun
bred and thirteen Klondikers, who ar
rived at Victoria this morning on the
steamer Garonne, reached here this
afternoon The luost conservative es-
Inmates place the amount OF gold they
brought at half a million dollars. Dr.
D. w. Ward, OF Portland, Ore. says
there are many who have large
amounts, while en- the other hand
many are coming out broke. N. B.
Jacobson, of Sacramento, Gala, is said
to have $4,000, and is probably the
largest individual holder of the yellow
stuff.
OF two brothers OF Philadelphia, who
are reported to have $4,000 each in
dust, the story is told that they refused
to put their treasure In the steamers
safe. They said they were going to
take it to the Philadelphia mint, and
would not let it go out of their sight
one moment until they arrived there.
H. G. Sibray, of Portland, with four
others, was capsized while floating
down the Klondike river in a small
boat. All lost what they made during
the winter. The hardships in that
country, he says, cannot be over-esti-
mated
There is plenty Of gold there said
he, "and a few good CLAIMS, but thou
sands Of claims willsnot pay the rec
ording fee."

AN INTERRUPTED FILTRATION.

A near-sighted, bashful youth. whose
father is a well known merchant
in Cincinnati while walking along
Fourth street, dimly discerned a young
lady across the street, whose face he
could not distinguish, but whose figure
was so striking that for a moment his
bashfuness vanished. He determined to
indulge in mild filtration. With min
cling step, he followed. and when nearly
up to her. fortunately, for his plans.
she dropped her parasol. In a jiffy he
picked it up, and, raising his hat. was
about to present it with a stammering
speech. when the young lady exclaimed:
why, George, is that your
Wees, Susie; won't you have some
soda?'
She accepted, and this was the first
time in many a day George had shown
himself SO gallant to his sister.-Cincin-

PLEASURES on THE FARM.

Oh. It's royal fun to frolic
On the fragrant new mown hay,
To roll and romp and tumble,
And to while the time away;
What a joy TO lie and slumber.
Innocent of worldly care,
On the clover in the hay-mow,
When some others put it there
What a joy. when one is thirsty.
Ere as yet It's time TO up,
To consume the sweet ambrosia
That the cows have yielded up
To drink out of the milk-pail.
While YOU poise 1t in the air..
When some other has extracted
The rich fluid that is there.
What a joy II Is In summer.
To be free upon the farm:
All. the very air seems freighted
With mystic sort of charm;
Round and over all a dreamy,
Peaceful spirit seems TO lurk-
That is. If YOU do the dreaming.
While some other does the work.

getic Mark Hanna, A gain has actually
been made In Maryland. where the con-
splcuous democratic leader. Senator Cor
man. has been replaced By a republican.
The reelection Of Senator Quay In Penn
sylvania Is undoubtedly FAR from assured.
but It is hardly possible ,ha, he will be
succeeded by democrat The repub-
Hcans on the other hand. are hopeful Of
carrying five seats now held by their op-
ponents-New York. New Jersey, West
Virginia, Wisconsin and California. TWO
years ago these states went republican:
but IS was a tidal year for that party.
stin they have an excellent hghung
chance in all Ave. though the prospects
Of a democratic victory in California are
considered. better than in the others.
West Virginia. too, is pretty confidently
counted on by the democrats.
This democratic majority In the retire
ments Of this year IS. Of course, one Of
the remaining remnants OF the Cleveland
sweep Of g. Then everything went dem
ocraiie. as all things went against that
party in 'ss. The thirty retiring in 1901
will be quite differently composed: there
being ls republicans. nine democrats and
two populis,s. This represents the re-
publican reaction Of 'si; and Il the dem
cratic reaction has set in by the end OF
the century, these will be capital figures
from which to make ga.ns. Il would DO
the democrats very little good, polit-
ically. to gain control OF the senate just
now. as President Mckinley will remain
in once until 1871. and could easily keep a
democratic congress in check. The dem
ocrats are playing hard. however. for
a majority in the house Of representa-
tlves. which will enable them to prevent
the republicans from legislating. But y
1870 they will doubtless make a big pusi
for the capture Of all three branches o
