The KIondii<e Output.

f. f. Leech, superintendent of the
U. S. mint at San Francisco, esti-
mates that the gold output of the Klon-
dixie this year has been only about So
100000. The receipts at the mint have
amounted to Sl,75O,0OO since the first
arrival of Yukon gold a few weeks ago
The receipts of the Seattle assay office
have been about the same. The larg
est single deposit at the mint was $780,
600. Mr.. Leech estimates that about
S25O,0OO in dust and nuggets has gone
east and that there is about Sl,00O00
more of this seasons output yet to
reach this country. 1t is stated that
the dust brought out by the North
American Trading and Transportation
Company was sent east and not included
in Mr.. Leech's figures. This amount
might possibly reach 100000.

Silver Key conflicted with the Silver
Crown mining claim, and the owners Cf
the latter effected a compromise with
the Silver Key people which resulted in
the action taken. This leaves the title
of the Silver Crown perfect and avoids
all litigation. The Silver Key people
received $1,000 on the compromise.

Among tho accomplishments of Dr. Edward Bedloe of Philadelphia tho American consul at Canton, China, is remarkable skill in mimicry. He can initiate with his voice the accent and mannerisms of speech of all the leading actors and orators as we'll as a number of musical instruments. His limitations of the twanging of 8 banjo are exceed ingly accurate. some years ago Dr. Bedloe was in room at the Press club when several guests were being enter- tained in an adjoining apartment. Ho had been with the party, but had ex- eused himself on the plea that he want ed to get his banjo He proceeded to play medley and did the imitation so well that the guests would not be- lieve he had not actually performed on an instrument until he repeated the imitation in their presence He is, moreover, n witty and brilliant oonver- sationalist and most entertaining ra- contour.

NO POLICEMEN NEEDED.
only Two Thoft. In Iceland In 8 rbousaDs
 Years.

In Iceland there are no prisons. and the inhabitants are so honest in their habits that such defenses to property aa locks, bolts and bars are not required. nor are there any police in the island.
 Yet It's history for 1000 years records no more than two thefts. Of these tws cases one was that of native, who was detected after stealing several sheen. but as he had done so to supply his fam fly, who were suffering for want of food, when he had broken his arm, pro, visions were furnished to them and work was found for him when able to do 1t, and meanwhile he was placed un- der medical care, but the stigma attach. ed to his crime was considered sufficient punishment.
 The other theft was by German, who stole F sheep
 But us he was in comfortable circum- stances and the robbery was malicious the sentence passed upon him was that he should sell all his property, restore tho value of what he had stolen and then leave the country or be executed, and he left at once. But though crime is rare in Iceland and its inhabitants are distinguished for honesty and puri. ty of morals there is, Of course, proyi. sion for the administration of justice, which consists, first of all, in the sher- if's courts; next, by appeals to the court of three judges at Reikiavik, the capital, and lastly in all criminal and most civil cases to the supreme court at Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, of which kingdom the island forms part. The island of Panaris, ono of tho Lipari group, is equally fortunate in having neither prisons nor lawyers and being absolutely destitute of both paupers and criminals. Boston Transcript.

to represent the heads of dogs and

divided. Each wore broad black
satin bow under the chin, inscribed in
gilt letters with a name, such as one
would bestoW upon household pet.

squared off for the evolutions of a
double quadrille. 1t was really a romp
and the medieval atmosphere lacked
nothing of completeness.

Chinese, they passed a law that every

their heads cut off in consequence. At
