A SECRET.
By IA. Flynn, in st. Paul's.

When Doris married | arranged TO

am blessed with a number of other
nleces to whom 1 have no desires TO
allow anything. They're all nice girls
in their way, and I've no particular
fault TO find with them; but they
aren't Doris. She was always my
fayorite, from the time she began TO
talk NO doubt IL was artful OF her
mother to teach her 10 say, "Nice
uncle !" before she could tOddle; but
she did, and that settled the question
OF favorltism.
Doris IS a romantic young person,
with weakness for writing poetry,
and all that sort of thing, and she
had some scruples about keeping a
secret from her husband; but l in

"Of course, IL Harry should ever be

fortably over the edge, oblivious of ev-
erything but the fact that trout were
biting beautifully. His reverles were
interrupted by choleric voice, yelling:
"Git out O. that-skedaddle now, you,
er b'gosh I'm after We with my hoe"
Mr.. Cleveland looked up. He saw a
big man with red face bearing down
upon him at lively pace. He did not
stop to parley. He wasted no time in
offering his card. He retreated hur-
riedly down to his carriage, twenty
yards away.
This is how 1t all happened. Through
his wife Mr.. Cleveland Is kinsfolk with
Richard Watson Glider, the poet-editor
Of the Century magazine. Mr.. Glider
has modest little cottage at Tyring-
ham. He had invited Mr.. Cleveland to
come up from Princeton, N. j., on a
fishing trip. The region around Tyring-
ham is famous among sportsmen for
its trout streams and quail and part
ridge woods,
The eX-President had accepted the
poets invitation. The two lovers Of
angling had selected Hop creek, the
best trout stream in that section. Hop
creek Is a free stream for the most
part, but a few farmers have put up
signs Of mo trespassing." Among
these was Farmer Johnson. Early in
the morning Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Glider drove down from the Riverside
Hotel 1t was agreed that the ex-Pres-
ident should start on Farmer John
sons place and work down stream to
meet the poet coming up. Mr.. Cleve-
land had just landed big trout when
Johnson caught sight of him and pro-
ceeded to say things. The ex-President
made no reply. He made tracks for
safety.
"Did you know you were chasing
Grover Cleveland?' some one asked
Johnson after the incident had made
him famous. "Wal," he replied, 'I
calc'late they amt no need O. talkin'.
Mebbe did an mebbe didn't. But,
anyhow, nobudy, big guns er little, gifts
to go poachin' in my trout stream
Farmer johnson, it Is said, has a
grievance. When Cleveland was Pres
ident, Farmer johnson wanted to be
put in command of the birmingham
postoffice. He was kept in the ranks
and never got over it.

the Nicaragua Canal is $1S8,OO0,OOt
and five years time for construction
So great an undertaking as boring q
hole through q mountain range big
enough for ships to sail through would
seem impossible, were 1t suggested by
any lesser authority than Mr.. Kar'
wiese.
Mr.. Karwiese was consulting engin-
eer in the designing and building Of the
canal through the Isthmus of Suez, and
for a short time was engaged with De
Lesseps I'm Panama. Almost at the
start he became convinced that the
Panama route would ultimately be
abandoned, and says upon investiga-
ton he found that the existing isthmi-
an surveys were inaccurate and in
many instances merely a matter OF
guesswork.
Accordingly. in 1891 he began a sys-
tematic survey of the whole isthmus,
which he has completed, and is now
possessed of maps. soundings and other
records, all convincing facts. He is, OF
course, familiar with the Nicaraguan
region. and condemns the course there
with objections similar to those actu-
ally encountered in Panama.
The proposed new route involves
some features altogether novel in canal
building, but it Is claimed to be not on
ly shorter, cheaper and far more prac-
tical than any, but cheaper and far
more practical than any other course
ever suggested. Mr.. Karwiese's ex-
perience in canal building and fame as
an expert, assure IT'S consideration by
the United States Government. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Karwiese will ac-
company on their surveys the Isthmian
Canal Commission recently appointed
by the President to investigate all
routes. and will personally go over the
ground of his work with the officers of
the Government.
According to surveys and estimates
furnished by Mr.. Karwiese, n ship tun-
mel canal can be completed through the
lower Isthmus Of Panama, between the
Gulf OF Darien and the bed of the San
tn Maria River. This region Is known
as the Aputi Valley, and Is crossed di-
ametrically by the Cardilliere range of
mountains, which extends throughout
the length of the isthmus. connecting

scourge of Scurvy Depopulates an
Alaskan Mining Settlement.
The news was brought to Seattle,
Wash, by the steamer City of Topeka
that Wind City, on the Wind river, the
third south branch of the Peel, was a
scuryy camp during the winter, and that
a score of miners have perished. 1t was
late in January when the last report was
received from the pest camp by miners
crossing the Rocky Mountains on the
way 10 Dawson. These finally got
through with the news. They did not
have list of the dead. but the following
were not expected to live when the mes
senger left: DIR. j. b. Mason, Chicago;
w. G. Ouch, San Francisco; DR.. Martin,
dentist, Chicago; Edward Harris, -
Mitchell.
All wero very sick with the dread arc
tic disease. Harris had to have a leg
amputated from freezing, and Mitchell
was suffering from a broken leg. The
miners were the only ones left in Wind
City. They sent out an Indian to secure
assistance. He said the men were unable
to care for themselves, and that none ex-
pected to live.
Wind City was started last September,
been trying to reach Dawson over the
Edmonton trail gathered there and built
winter quarters. n number Of substan-
tial cabins went up, and when winter
settled down Wind City became a lively
place. The whrl of social affairs was
varied and interesting. For four months
the miners at Wind City had just as good
a time as the miners in any other part of
Alaska. Nothing went seriously wrong
until one morning several of the miners
were struck down with the scurvy. They
were followed by several others. The
pestilence seemed 10 strike the camp all
at once. Soon half Of the seventy-five
people there were stricken with the dis
ease. Then came the undoing of Wind
City. Those of the miners who could
move loaded their sleds and turned their
cabins over to the less fortunate. With
words of good cheer all round. parties set
off. one by one, over the snow and ice.
Death helped to depopulate Wind City
The scurvy seemed to be particularly
fatal. The medicine which Mr.. Mason
had was soon exhausted and when he
was stricken down himself he had moth
ing left to take. There were no vegeta-
bles in the camp and no source from
which fresh ones could be secured. There
is a graveyard at Wind City where the
bodies of fifteen or twenty men lie in
testimony of the terrible price some had
to pay for gold In the outlying cabins
several dead men have nothing but frozen
blankets for their coffins. They died af-
ter all the well men left the camp, and
there is no one to bury them.

it has been in fire for years, serving as

great objects Of interest at Kettle point,
however, are the enormous kettles" I"

which are five feet across. These cal

are to be seen scattered about-are i'm

of them have been removed to orna-
