General Middleton.

Major General Sir Frederick D.

maDded the Canadian forces during the
Riel rebellion OF 1888, died in London.
England, on Jan. 25, aged - He was
a son Of the late Major General Charles
Middleton. He was educated at the
Royal Military college, and obtained
his commission in 1912, when he was
only II. From that time up to the
time he retired from the position Of
commander of the Canadian forces, he
led a soldiers life He served in New
leland, during the Maori war; in India
in 1881 and 1852 in BCrman, IN the sup
preston of the Indian mutiny; at the
siege and capture Of Lucknow, as aid
de-camp to General Sir +. Lugard. He
was recommended for theNictorla cross
for two acts of bravery. He served IN
Africa, Gibrata and Malta, and from
1874 to 1884 WAS commandant of the
Royal Military college, Sandhurst. At
the time Of his death was keeper of the
crown jewels. Lady Middleton, who
survives him was formerly Miss Dou-
Get, of Montreal No drawer man ever

to reCklessnesS. After the close Of the
Northwest rebellion one of the rebel
leaders related to Il number Of citizens
Of Prince Albert, of whom a resident of
this city vas one, a story which showed
how little he thought Of his own safety.
1t was daring the four DAYS siege of Ba-
oche, when the Canadian forces had re-
tired for the evening after an unsuccess-

would DO little accommodating himself

who knew who he was were overawed
by his contempt of danger; but they
soon recovered themselves, and COM
menced to take pop-shots at him, the
bullets whstling by the general and
blowing up the ground around him.
The rebel who tells the story, and who
had command of the outposts, hearing
the firing, went to see the cause of it.
Seeing the general and his aid-do- camp
he first upraioed his nen for firing at
him, but he could not resist the temp
tation to shoot a general himself, SO he
grabbed Winchester from the nearest
man, brought it bear on Middleton, and

Tr1mD Turns lSencfactnr.

A little over two years ago, Z strang-
er named Anderson appeared at Seat
tie. He was, in the vernacuar of the
street, busted" While in these des-
perate circumstances he met Charles
L. Wallin, well-knOWn shoe maker
Wallin liked the man, and although "a
poor circumstances, took Anderson III
and gave him home until he found
an opening on one of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company's big steamers
and went on the Alaska run. After
several trips he had the mining fever.
A partnership was formed with a
Yukon miner, who had money enough
for two outfits, and the men made for
the Yukon. They were soldiers of
fortune for 4 time, drifting GROUND
from one camp to another, and finally
were attracted to the Klondike region
by the report OF great discovery.
They took mp claims side by side on
Bonaza Creek On these claims both
built and began to mine industriously
for the yellow metal which seemed SO
plentiful Anderson worked hard, and
soon developed one Of the biggest
bonanzas on the creek. During his
hard work at the mine he had not for
gotten his old friend Wallin. Recent
ly he teiegraphed him that he would
be in Seattle on a designated day. He
came. and in return for the good turn
the shoemaker did him, Anderson has
decided him half the mine on Bonanza
Creek from which he took his wealth,
and for which he was offered $50, 1000
by a San Francisco company while in
that city.

Tie Teller Resolution.

InGsmuch as the majority o! the SEN
the Will of the people of the United
Ststes we think too much Importance ls
civcn to the passage of the Teller resO-
luton by that BODY few days ago, par.
ticuiarlv as it was doomed to suffer
decisive defeat by the representatives,
of the people in the popular chamber.
II should effect the credit OF the nation
rs title as it appears to have fayorably
Elected the price OF silver, which, we
In""h suspect, was one, if not the prin-
cipai, object of It's passage. There was
no new principle Involved in the
resolution, it involved no loss to the
nations creditors because by it, by
statute, and by the principles of honor
and justice, the government is com
PEELED to discharge its obligations in
dollars as good as gold, has always done
50 and will continue to do So 1t il
absurd to ask our foreign creditors to
accept silver 4 Free Silver govern
zment would have to discharge al our
national debts in gold dollars, or dollars
cXchan9eable for gold. There is not
tree silver man living who would &C
ccpt silver dollars in payment of mil
lion dollar debt if he had to take it to
Europe, and it would be unjust to com
pei him, az the cost OF transportation
would amount 10 a considerable sum.
Indeed We doubt very much ifthere is
4 Populist in the country who would be
willing to accept payment for thous-
and bushels Of wheat in silver and be
compelled to carry it home with him.
Hence he would Immediately exchange
it for gold. or for silver certifi-
Gates and those certificates in turn for
gold or bonds, and leaye the silver in
the country. 1t would be scarcely more
dishon0rahie 10 compel the nations
creditors to accept copper money. 1t
j. as good as gold, but 1t is too bulky to
carry about.
This resolution is simply an attack in
the interest OF the holders of silver bnl-
Ion upon gold. It's a war between the
white metal and the yellow. 1t is q
conspiracy on the part of the silver
mine owners TO compel the government
10 give them silver dollar worth a gold
dollar for 40 cents worth of bullion. As
1t Is now the government gets the DIFF
ference, while in the other case the
miners would get it. Who are they that
they should receive more for their pro-
duct than its actual market value We
think the people see the real object OF
the silver men, and we think they will
not fail TO vote for honest money at the
next election.

New Sources of Gold.

Among the benefits expected to be
derived from the great railroad line
which the Russians are constructing
across Siberia is the opening up of
rich sources Of gold. now practicable
unutilized. in that remote country.
Recent surveys Of tho gold placers of
Siberia have shown that there is a
good supply of the precious metal, bu.
that partly on account of the severity
Of the climate, and partly through lack
of the means Of transportation, these
stores have hitherto remained unde-
veloped. Unlike those OF California
the Siberian piacers are found below.
instead Of above, the level of the
streams in the gold-bearing valleys.

Protection Of Song Birds.

There is a growing movement
against the ruthless destruction of
song-birds for millinery purposes; and
numerous societies have been formed
TO dissuade women from wearing
adorrments procured in such ways.
The most noticeable attempt az legisla-
ton upon this matter is a law enacted
by the Massachusetts legislature at its
recent session, which makes the mere
possession Of the skin or feathers OF
any bird which is now protected by
law, punishable by the same penalty
as has hitherto been imposed for kill
ing the birds 1t has been decided.
however, that the law applies only to
birds killed in Massachusetts,, and the
difficulty of Distinguishing between
such birds and those killed outside the
state is likely to make the law inef-

menIS.


Bronze was very extensively used by
the Swiss lake-dwellers in the manu-
facture Of great variety Of things
useful and ornamental, such a swords,
knives, fish hooks, javelin heads, pins,
needles, bracelets, ETC., says the An
tiquarian. Their bronze swords were
similar to those found in other parts
Of Europe of the same era, rather short,
broad and thick; some plain, others
highly ornamented. Their bronze
knives are Of two patterns, some very
large and curved. and thick on the
convex edge. These were evidently in
tended for hard usage, probably in har-
vesting, for We know that these peo-
PIE raised barley, wheat and flax. The
smaller knives were OF finer workman
ship, averaging about five inches IN
length, very thin, and now, after haV-
Ing lain buried in the mud Of the lake
for twenty centuries or more, still
have fine, cutting edges. The javelin
and spear heads resemble those Of Ro-
man and Etruscan make, and perhaps
many Of them were forged in Rome
and welded by the Roman Invaders OF
Heivetia. The bronze fish hooks are al
most identical in form with those Of
iron used by us today, having at the
end of the shaft a fat head to retain
the line, and sharp point and barb.
They are recovered in great quantities.
The needles of bronze are very much
like those OF bone, and rather heavier.
The pins are Of all sizes and many
patterns, and were employed princi-
pally as ornaments. They range in
length from two to fifteen inches, and
some Of them must have been beautiful
when new. Specimens Of them are
seen finely engraved with fancy figures
their entire length; some with fiat,
ornamental heads; others surmounted
by balls or other designs an inch or
more in diameter. The bronze OF
which they were made was suscepi-
bic Of high polish and of yellow color,
Slistening like gold. Many of the brace
lets are quite plain. others are most
elabomtely engraved and beautified.
