COMBINING EFFORTS
Delegations From Nome Added to the steps Taken by Southern Alaska.

Clerk Albert D. Elliot. of the district court. who was a passenger on the Cottage City enroute to Sltka, thinks congress will take carly action In Alaskan affairs. es- peeilllv does he think the territory will carly be divided into two or more judicial districts. with a new judge located at Nome.
 Mr. Elliot, who accompanied Judge Johnson ,n his Yukon trip. in giving the reasons for his conviction in the matter said:
 "Judge Johnson tried eight mining cases while at Nome, and the leading lawyers there stated that there were fully 100 more pressing for settlement which they desired Co push to settlement at once. Owing to the approach of winter, however, we could not remain to trv any more. Had we remained much longer we would have been frozen in, and then there would moi have been any November term of court al Juneau and probably no March term ai Skagwav
 This condition confronting the people of Nome has led them to take positive ac- tlon. Mr. Hubbard, one of the leading members of the Nome bar. and who spent the last four )r five years preceding his coming to Alaska in the department of justice at Washington, D. C., has gone to the national capital at the head of dele gation consisting of four besides himself from Nome, at the expense of the citizens of that new city, to use all the influence al his command to secure a court without delay.
 Judge Kenneth N. Jackson, formerly United States commissioner at Wrangel has ,lso gone to Washington at his owr expense to impress upon the authoritie: the immense amount of litigation awaiting a court, and the great necessity to the peo- l pie interested of having prompt aetlon."
 The activity On the part of the people al Nome In conjunction with the fact tha Southern Alaska has also taken decisive action. and sent a duly accredited represen- tative to Washington with bills prepared which provide a remedy for the condition: prevailing at Nome, will without .oubt b' sufficient to cause congress to haster action.

British Colonel in Skagway Anxious to Get to the Front
SAYS J. BULL WILL WIN
Col. Evans, Comm 'nder OT the Yukon sIeid force Arrives from Trip over the Ice.

CI. T. D. B. Evans, for some time commander of the Yukon field force, has arrived ln Skagwsv en route from Dlw son to eastern Canada He has been re- ,leved of the command of the Yukon force and ordered to report at Toronto to take command of the second division of the army in Canada. the lIrgest division of the army in the Dominion. He succeeds Col. Otter, who has gene to the Trlns- vaal in command Of the Canadian eontln- gent.
 Although Col. Evans has of late been as near the north pole as the queens de- lenders are stationed, and almost as far as possible from the seat of war now in prog. ress in Africa, he Is ambitious to get on the fighting line and hopes that his trans fer will be a step nearer to duty on the battle field.
 The colonel Is hardy and rugged man of middle age. and made the trip from the Klondke metropolis over the forbidding ieejams of the Yukon in sixteen days. The trip called for much endurance on the part of the traveller. but he and two eivll- ians who travelled with him stood the hardships well and arrived none the verse from the experience. Their most serious mishap was the breaking of one of their seds through the Ice. This slei and the baggage lt carried were rescued. the most serious damage sustained being the wetting of the baggage. Some of the parcels did not thaw out until thev reached Skigway.
 "rhere can be but one outcome of the BoerBritish war" said Col. Evans ves- ,erday at the Fifth Avenue hotel. "lt will be British victory. The sons of Bdt- ain will not lay d wn their arms until they have vanquishsd the foe, and that regardless of what may have to be in- volved to bring the results.
 "The loss of British officers has. of course, been vely heavy. should nor sly they should be so heavy. The war is mol carried on by the Boers in the open as ir thurougly civilized contentious on the field

but more on the plan q Indian fighting, lt would, therefore, prob'blv be better, and may be best for the brslps of the British forces to reserve themselves within the proper limits and direct their men from more sheltered positions"
 The successor of the colonel In charge of the Yukon force Is M'jpr Hemmlng, who went to D,wson and joiled the command as second officer in rank n October.
 In regard to the prospective rush from Dawson to Nome, Col Evans says there Is some feeling there wili be rebound of the Dawsonlts who ae to g. to the new fields, and that KlondkTs will drift back to their first lcve next fsll.

WILL PRACTICE ALONE
Judge Johnson wII Not Have n Partner-A Hard Term Of Court.

Judge Johnson, while In the city Satur- day en route to Sitkl, us kept busy ex- plainlng his resl,natIon Hesavs his oblv reason for relinqushing his position Is his conviction that he ean 20 better operating in mines and praetieing hlS profession at Nome than by continuing in office. Judge Johnson denies that he has formed a part. nership with any one ier the practice of law. You can deny, said Judge John son, "emphatieallv that have formed a partnership with Kenneth Jackson, Mr. lyey or anyone else. i--rill sractios' flaw alone.
 "My reason for keeping my resignation a secret so long," continued the judge, twas In the interest of the work of the bench. lfitWere known that was about to retire, the attorneys who had matterS to come before the court, involving points on which have made rulings, would per- hapS be more persistent in erowding their matters to the front or n having them kept back, depending upon whether 1 had held favorablv or unfavorablv on their points. This might have been carried to such an extent as to embluass my success sor."
 Judge Johnson said he felt much like a bid relaSed from a cage. The term of court just finished has been a trying one, Involving much hard work. "l h d be- come. both physically and mentally. tired" he said.
 Speaking of the Skagwlv term, Judge Johnson said, "l will convene court in Skagway the first Monday in March or as soon thereafter as can reach your eity."

He Got the Votes.

4 congressman is thus quoted by the
Washington Star:
"The first race I ever made for con-
gress resulted in my defeat by less than
so majority, and if one of my friends
had not been too jealous I would have
been elected. There was q precinct
where I expected to receive 100 votes,
and l feared there would be some fraud
in the precinct that would injure me,
so got an old man who had never par
ticipated in politics, but who had al
most paramount influence in the dis
trict, to take charge of my interests
there, irstructing him to see that every
friend of mine voted and that the votes
were counted.
"When the returns came in, had
lot received q single vote in that pre-
dnct, and the next day bulky envel-
pe was handed me containing 100 bal
OTIS, together with letter from the
nan had left in charge saying that he
had seen every friend of mine and taken
up their ballots so that none would be
missed, and as he wouldn't trust the
judges of elections he had sent them to
me himself so would be sure to get
them. Since then have seen to it that
men in charge of my interests we're not
only honest, but knew something about
politics

The Art of Doing Nothing.

One mark of the modern man is his
inability to idle When he has to work
for his living, he will grumble lavishly,
telling you that leisure is what he
longs for; that an idle life is his unat-
tainable ideal But let him come into
a fortune and you will see Does ne use
his new affluence in the only reasonable
way, making soft places for himself
wherein he can idle happilyH Not he; he
runs to and fro about the city like the
Scripture dog. risking the portion Of
goods that has come to him among the
outside brokers, or he tries the muscles
Of his stomach on yacht, or he deliv-
ers himself, bound hand and foot, to
the tyranny of the racing stables, or he
becomes a philanthropist, or throws his
unconquerable energy into amateur
photography.
To a dweller in the sheepfolds the
question comes urgent, insistent, When
does a man come into this his birthright
of antlike industry? When does this
inability to idle grow on him? In the
time of his lambhood he will do any
thing, everything to insure his doing
nothing. To attain this object he will
spare no patent pains, no anxious
thought He will achieve his end even
in prep" with the eye Of the shep-
herd upon him, and it will be perceived
that to do nothing when talking is i'm
possible and staring about, an expensive
luxury, requires talent amounting al
most to genius Pail Mall Gazette

Adventure With n Tiger.


Colonel R., an English officer statioh-
ed in India, met with singular adven-
ture while tiger hunting in which he
lost an arm. The colonel had wounded
a tiger from an elephants back. The
tiger charged, and the elephant, taking
fright, bolted through the jungle. To
save himself from being Drained and
swept off by overhanging branches,
Colonel R. seized stout limb and, rails
ing himself, left the elephant to go on
alone through the forest. To his dismay
he found ne had not strength and agil-
ity sufficient to swing himself up to sit
on the branch. In vain he strove to
throw q leg over and so raise himself.
Looking down, the sportsman discov-
cred that the tiger had spotted him and
was waiting below. The horror of the
situation can be imagined-the enraged
tiger and the helpless, dangling man
knowing he must fall into those cruel
jaws.
How long he hung there he never
knew. He shouted and shrieked in an
agony OF lear. he etSeu Oho Ill III u Az
tie and then the other, then hung de-
spairingly by both-tin at last tired ma
ture gave way and he dropped
He remembered thrusting one arm
into the tiger jaws, and then conscious
ness left him His life was saved by the
arrival of a friendly rifle barrel held
close to the tiger head and through the
subsequent amputation of the mangled
arm by a skillful surgeon. s
