Klondike Conditions:

Klondike Conditions:
An interesting account of conditions
on the coast, relative to the Klondike
rush, and an account which appears to
accord with the statements given out
from reliable sources, is that given by
a o of the late L. X. Church, who has
been in Huron settling up his fathers
affairs, and from which place a special
dispatch says: L. X. Church, Jr. of
Seattle, sol of the late Louis X. Church,
the last territorial governor of Dakota,
departed for his home yesterday, having
been here some days on business con-
nected with his fathers estate. Mr..
Church is largely Interested in mining
in Alaska, and his brother Thomas, we'll
known in Twin City newspaper circles,
is publishing the Dawson City Nugget.
Mr.. Church gives an interesting account
of the rush to the Alaskan gold fields
and says that thousands of those now
on their way to the Klonkike will never
realize their NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. one in a
thousand will get rich, and hundreds
will fall and die by the way. In Seattle
he says, there are not accommodations
sufficient to make the great multitude
of men continually rushing in comfort
able until passage on steamers bound
for the coveted region can carry them
away. Vast numbers are without
money and have no means with which
to obtain an outfit such as is necessary
for the journey, and are pushing their
way through the best they can. Some
have become discouraged and are re-
turning.
Mr.. Church estimates the floating
population of Seattle at from $4,000 to
10000. The city has a standard popula-
tion of about G0,0OO, and it is therefore
strained to care for this vast army of
strangers. Klondike outitters are reap
ing a rich harvest, they get good prices
for everything they sell and are so busy
they know neither night nor day nor Sun
day-continually selling goods. In
many instances men have barely money
enough to purchase passage to points
hundreds Of miles this side of the gold
fields, while Others are able to push on
as far as Dyea and Skaguay. At these
points Mr.. Church declares, are more
men than a possibly get through to
the Klondike, transportation facilities
bel so meager. He was at these
places a few months since, and gives a
deplorable account of conditions prevail
ing there then, which must have been
intensified by the long winter and
a scanty supply of food. The crowd, he
says, has but fairly started, and unless a
halt is called and means taken to prevent
the rush of m%oneyless men to that far
off country, the tales of misery, woe and
suffering that will be told within a very
few months will be more terrible and
gruesome than those which came from
California in '49. Mr.. Church adds that
the supply Of goldin Alaska is unlimited
but that inexperienced men, and that
men without means of subsistence, are
better eff at home working for a small
salary than in the Klondike suffering
the tortures of cold and hunger, and the
deprivation of everything that makes
life worth living. The chances for sue
cess of such men is about l in 5000.

The Mystery Of the Raxor.

1t is sfnatter Of common experience
that razor left for awhile unused be-
comes blunt. A writer in Chambers
Journal says that rust caused by the
moisture in the atmosphere is quite
enough to account for this. Shearers,
for instance, who have to use partic-
ularly sharp instruments, never set
their shears till just before using. What
is not SO generally known is that ra-
zor which will not cut will become
sharper sometimes by being left aside
for some time. The only explanation of
this is that the electrical properties of
the metal in the edge become changed.
A "wire edge" is commonly put on a
tool by amateurs. The steel turns and
folds back on itself. 1t is owing to the
edge being made too long and thin, or
the metal being too soft. The only cure
for wire edge is to break off the bent
portion and grind and set again.
"a knife that cuts butter when it ia
hot" (and under no other circumstances)
we sometimes meet with. We have
been going into the reasons of things,
and the reason of this is easily explain
ed. Heat expands metal, and in proper
ton to the amount Of metal which is
heated. There is more metal in the
breadth Of a blade than in its thickness,
and the former, therefore, is expanded
immensely more than the latter. In 9TH
or words, the wedgelike shape is length
ened, and the tool becomes SHARP"

The Fall of Just Pride.

One day soon after the Mulberry Bend
park was laid out in the Italian quarter
Of New York the man who had had
more to do with the good work than
any one else was passing there. AS he
strobe happily along, thinking of the
tenements that used to stand there, the
fresh, clean earth attracted him and he
walked out upon it. Stamping joyously
about, he exclaimed:
''Fiae, finel They have planted the
seed and soon the green grass will
spring up under the warm sunshine. II
is my proudest"
Just then park policeman who had
slipped up behind him landed two Wig
orous whacks on the good mans back.
"Git off'n tn grass, ye iooney old
crankp he said. "Be off wild ye, quick
now, an don't let me ketch ye round
here lin or I'll run ye in. Seer G'wan,
now"
The philanthropist had leaped wildly
to the walk and his fist doubled
with anger, but second thought,
the sparrow cop" was right,
his hand to relax, and the maker
park moved on, sore but
ever. New York TIMES.
