STARTED AN AVALANCHE.

[From the Rocky Mountain News.
Is it true that the sound of the human
voice may start a snOwSlide? James
Perchard, clerk of the state court of
appeals, is inclined to answer the ques-
ton in the affirmative. He has for
twenty years past been almost of the
belief that a word of farewell which he
shouted in one of the mountain canyons
cost the lives of two persons.
Il never think of the event without a
Shudder,'' said Mr.. Perchard yesterday,
''I was mining at the time in the region
above Georgetown. The snow had fallen
to an unusual depth that winter and
miners moving from one cabin to an
other were warned to look out for slides.
l stopped in one of my trips at the cabin
of an acquaintance and took dinner
with him and his wife. At the close of
the meal my host urged me to stay a
while and take a smoke with him, but I
felt nervous and impatient for some
reason which it was impossible for me
to explain and declined as politely as
possible the kind invitation. 1 arose
from the table and without delay start
ed on my journey. Crossing the can
yon L turned to wave a farewell to the
friends who had entertained me. The
man and his wife were standing at the
door of the cabin and a third person
was in the house. The air was perfectly
still. Not the slightest intimation was
given of the awful disaster which was
about to happen. I waved my hand and
shouted Goodbye
Hardly had the echoes of my voice
died away before a nuff1ed sound struck
the cara noise like the boom of a
cannon-and the whole side of the
mountain seemed to be in motion. The
snow, ice, trees and rocks started to-
ward the bottom of the gulch and within
five seconds the cabin was overwhelmed
and the spot which L stood one or
two minutes before was buried under
fifty feet of snow. I summoned assist
ance as quickly it could be done and
we frantically dug out two dead bodies.
The third person afterardS recovered
from the injuries inflicted by the slide,
but 1 have never entirely forgiven my
self for the word which I shouted on
that never to- be-forgOtten day.

THE BIRCH BARK TEPEE.
TFrom Forest and Stream.J


c. c. FAIR, who was with the Hud-
son Bay company IS years and who has
been around the head waters of the OF
tawa for a much longer period, is
mine of interesting information on all
matters pertaining to game or wild life.
He saw me looking at bark tepee and
said that the Indian name for it was
asohahgan, and that the specimen came
from Lake Animanipissing.
II had to get one of them for the
show" he said, land I went to an In
dian named Peeshahho and told him to
give me his. PeeshahbO said: How the
blazes am 1 going to live for the rest
of the winter?' 1 said: oh, man, yen
make a new one But I can't peel any
bark says he. Never you mind says
1; I've got to have it, and with that
1 took it, and here it is"
Mr. Farr explained that the bark te
PEGS are used by the Indians on their
winter hunting trips. They are made
in summer from the bark of large birch
es sewed together in sections measur-
ing about feet by II feet. The pole
framework of the tepee is erected and
the bark bent around before it has dried
so that it will take the proper shape.
The free ends of the bark sections are
protected and kept from splitting by
light strips of wood, one on either side,
which are attached by sewing. Seven
of these 8 by II back sections are used
in the construction of the asohahgan.
When the Indian moves his camp the
sections are made into tight rolls for
convenience in carrying. In erecting the
tepee the bottom section is put in place
first, and two of the rolls are commonly
required to reach around. Afterward
the other sections are wound around the
cone-shaped framework up to within
short distance of the peak. The top is
left open for the escape of smoke. The
upper sections lap over the lower, shin
gle fashion, and all the seams run dag
onaIIy with reference to a vertical line.
in such a way as to shed water per-
fectly.
The sewing is done with wattup.
Wattup is made from the roots OF
spruce trees, pulled out by the women
and boiled till softened. The brown
bark covering rs rubbed off, and the
roots split into suitable sizes for sewing

NO NEW DEPOT.
Mo- Pac. Not to Build and Topeka
Wants Nothing Less Than a
Union Depot.

The freight depot and offices of the
Missouri Pacific will soon be moved
from the present location in South To-
peka to Fifth and Adams streets.
Though the effort to have the South
Topeka depot moved to the company's
lots at Fifth and Adams failed on ac-
count of the objections raised by prop
erty owners along the right of way,
still the poor roads between the South
Topeka depot and the pavement necessI-
tated the moving of the depot to a loca-
ton where it will be easy of access.
A large freight platform has been
built on the south end of the present
passenger depot and the depot will be
rebuilt to allow for a freight office and
all the business of the company will be
moved from South Topeka to the Fifth
street depot
This practically means that the Mis-
souri, Pacific has given up all idea of
making any material improvements in
Topeka and now there is little or no
chance of a new depot being built.
Topeka does not want any more sep
arate depots built until we can have
a new union depot. Any movement on
the part of a railroad which would
tend to head off a union depot at an
early day should be frowned down by
the citizens. There should be a union
depot at Kansas avenue and First
street.

NOW A SPIRITUALIST
Mrs. Lease Believer in the Occult
Lectures in New York.

New York, April AIRS. Mary Eliz-
abeth Lease made her first appearance
in New York as a lecturer on spiritual
ism at the celebration of the fifty-first
anniversary of modern spiritualism by
the First Association of Spiritualists at
the Tuxedo yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
Lease said in part:
"Spiritualism teaches that if we do
wrong we must suffer wrong; teaches
that there is no forgiveness for sin, and
that the progression of the soul is
growth.
There was ripple of applause when
Mrs. Lease said:

TOPEKA ON THE ROCKS.
Not the Cruiser But the Passen-
ger Steamer In Distress.

Seattle, Wn., April 4.-The steamer
City of Topeka which runs between
Puget Sound and Alaska, is ashore on
Rocky Ledge, a reef at the south end
of Wrangel Narrows, 100 miles south of
Juneau. The Topeka was northward
bound and had about $50 passengers on
board. The passengers were taken on
to Juneau by the United States light
house tender Manzanilla. A telegram
from Captain Thompson, of the Topeka,
to Superintendent Towbridge of the Pa
cific Coast company, says the vessel is
not badly damaged. He has sent to
Juneau for a diver to patch some holes
in her bottom after which he expects to
float the vessel. Had the steamer been
in a serious position superintendent
Towbridge thinks Captain Thompson
would have telegraphed for immediate
assistance. The Topeka left here March
and she is supposed to have gone on
the rocks March 80.

latter were argued.
At the coroner's inquest Young Hogan
testified that he saw a person in black

after the shooting and pass on the OPP

man. He said he could not tell whether
1t was Mrs. Althouse or Mrs. George.

THEY SAVED THE COUNTRY
Secretary Gage Heaps Praises on the
New York Bankers.

New York. April AT the banquet
of the Manhattan company last night,
Secretary of the Treasury Gage referred
to the circumstances of 1896 and the as
sistance obtained from the banks.
1T was a time he said, when the
government of the United States had
over $4,000, 600. 1t had offered it's Sc
curities to the public. 1t had invited a
popular loan, the credit of the govern
ment was being attacked and it was
facing a mighty volume of liabilities for
which it had no assets to provide and
money to pay.
1T appealed to the country to give it's
resources in exchange for the Securi-
ties. 1t was the second appeal within
a short period of time and the nation
was threatened with a change to new
standards of value and every interest
was threatened with bankruptcy and
chaos. Most of you had previously
brought your resources to the aid of the
government. Now declining values ap-
peared to have made a loss certain
Mr.. Gage eulOgized the patriotism of
the New York banks at this critical
time and said that to their action then
was now due the fact that the credit
of the United States was unimpaired.
1t had been reported in the news
papers that the treasury contemplated
a further issue of bonds.

after payment of the Spanish claim
there will be 1854, 900, 900. The condition
of the financial market is not such as to
create anxiety
Notwithstanding the heavy war ex-
penses, Secretary Gage declared that
for the fiscal year ending June 80 1900,
the deficit would not much exceed $780,
600 900.
Il want to express my purpose" he
concluded, "of keeping the treasury of
the United States in a sound, solid and
satisfactory condition. (Applause) And
l want to appeal to you to keep the af-
fairs of the government of the United
States from the financial point of view
in your minds and in your thoughts
and to study it's drifts and bearings"

A FORTUNE TAPESTRIES
TFrom the London NALL

Viscount Hinton, the scion of English
nobility who has been earning modest
livelihood by grinding an organ in the
streets of London, claims not only the
title and estates of Earl Poulett, but the
furniture and ornaments in the great
halls at Hinton ST. George.
These include one of the finest private
collections of tapestry in the world
tapestries bearing the design of Paul
Veronese and other great masters, which
are renowned for their beauty and value
throughout the world of art.
There are seventeen of these splendid
tapestries at Hinton st. George. They
are all of the Renaissance period, and
were made about 1870. Some of them
have the Poulett arms woven into the
fabric. AS many of these splendid pos
sessions of the PoulettS are as much al
twenty feet in length, it may be readily
understood that they occupy a great
space in the halls.
These tapestries are valued at 81 900
each. That is their average price. Con-
noisseurs assert that several tapestries
in the collection are worth 93, 900 to ga
600 each. They are all in splendid condi-
ton, and if Viscount Hinton gets them
they will constitute perhaps his most
unique possession.
