DAN O'CONNELL'S DREAM.
BY r. U. FROZE.

When Daniel made his last trip
to the "Cold Storage Department"
he became separated from his be-
loved eyeglasses. This has been
great loss to Dan for without his
eyeglasses he cannot see to read
anything. Dan has felt the loss
very keenly, for when he returned
to his cell, after his prolonged
visit to the 'Cold Storage Depart
ment,'' he found quite a number
of issues of The PRISON MIRROR
had accumulated. Much to his
sorrow Dan found that without
his eyeglasses all he could make
out was the title Of the articles
and the names of contributors
that we're in large print. Night
after night Dan has read the
names that were in large print,
until his brain was in a whirl from
them. Saturday night when Dan
retired he had a dream in which
the titles of these stories and the
contributors names seemed to ar
range themselves in orderly Sc
quences. Following is the dream:
The Mayor Of The St. Croix
River and "Iconoclast," claim to
have read a "Washington Letter.
in which it stated that ''Gooley"
had at last received "Justice," and
was doing ''Thirty Days In The
Havana JAIL "Gooley's Letter"
however, states that this is "A
Libel" and further says that he
Just came :'F'rom Charlestown"
where he had been spending a
Sunday In Prison" He says he
can prove this by "Chas. T. Yer
kes'' and flames j. Hilf' whom
he met in "Wah Gees place,
Hitting The tipe" according to
'Ancient Customs" as "A Cure
For Insomania." Yerkes was tell
ing Hill How It Happened''-
said it was another case Of limo
cense Punished" and if he had
not been in lizard Luck" he would
never have seen any Prison Life"
He told Hill that "A Convict's
Christmas showed him that there
was no Love" in this world for
Failures. He said he had been
"Reformed," but it had taken
great deal of "Heroism' to play
"The Hypocrite" and ''The Man
Who Witness and once he had
been forced to have GA Laugh In
Church, over some of the Funny"
"Wrinkles'' he. was working on
the Rubber Necks."
When Hill was asked to tell his
history, he requested to be "Par-
doned' from showing any of
"Life's Sears and took ''The
Happy Medium and talked about
''The Influence OF Letters and
"What's Good To Read" "Our
Mickey ''The Boy Who Staid At
Home" found Food For Thought"
in the "Selfshness'' of Hill. 1t
was the Real VS. Ideal" Just
about this time some Hidden
Forces" blew in Leonard who
had "Pat And The Stiffs" ("Dix-
ie'' and "W. H. G.") with him.

For while it looked as though
J. j. Corbett had been swallowed
up by some unknown monster, but
now he hobs up all at once in
new role. Not as a smasher of
men, but as woman fighter. He
made his first appearance against
his wife, who becoming leary of
Jim's dukes pleaded with copper
to stop the bout, and when that
protector of the weak asked Jim
about it he merely exclaimed that
his wife was nervous. Surely
most anyone would be nervous
under the circumstances.
Since Mr.. Kipling wrote the
"White Mans Burden,'' most
everyone has been willing to take
it up. Now if they would be as
willing to take up the convict's
burden they would find a great
many willing to give it to them.
Pat Pagan was the priests man
at Bally Kelly, and did all the
work to be done around the
church and parsonage. The wor-
thy pastor, Fir. O'Toole, consider
ing St. Paul's advice to Timothy
all right, was accustomed to treat
Pat every morning after breakfast,
to a drink of whiskey. Having
received a present of a bottle of
very rare old whiskey, he bought
to crafty Pat with sample. Fill
ing a small glass, he presented it,
with the remark: -"Now, Pat,
there's some ov the finest whiskey'
We liver drank: it's twenty years
old"
Fat, looking rather glum, took
the glass, and holding it between
his eyes and the light, exclaimed;
"Well, in troth yer Reverence, it's
divilish shmall fur it's age!''

NEGRO SUFFRAGE
ENDANGERED
Bitter Political Fight Is
Waged.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 1.-THE Jour
nal this afternoon publishes a sensa-
tional story from it's special correspond
ent, who has recently been in North
Carolina, on the campaign commenced
there by the white people, both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, to disenfran-
chise 100000 negro voters in that State.
The Journal says:
North Carolina has just entered
upon one of the most eventful cam
paigns in her history. 1t is a death
struggle between the Anglo-Saxon and
the African, and when the smoke of
battle will have cleared the political
and social supremacy of the white man,
for the time, and for all time, will either
be absolute and unconditional or else
negro domination will again immense
the State in ignominy and disgrace.
The campaign Is waged on a proposed
suffrage amendment to the constitu-
ton submitted to the people by the last
Legislature. 1t was designed for the
single purpose of eliminating the negro
as political factor, and it is a notable
fact that the educational qualification
enjoined on the negro is not expected
of the white man. 1t IS not intended
that an Anglo-Saxon shall be disquali
fed.
Every person of eligible age who
applies for registration, for instance,
must be able to read and write any
section or sections Of the Federal con-
stitution. Under this clause 100000 in
competent negro voters in North Caro-
lima will be forever barred from the
polls. But the ignorant white voters
and there are perhaps thousands Of
them-can enter through another gate
Section provides that any lineal
descendant of any voter in this country
prior to 1867 shall be entitled to vote
whether he can read and write or not.
1T is more than a political fight; it
is fight in defense of home and de-
cency. 1t is a constitutional decree
that the Anglo-Saxon shall govern in
this State. On this platform the Dem
ocracy stands The Republicans have
challenged this amendment for party
protection. The issue has been joined
For thirty years 1t has been lodged,
evaded, beclouded. It is to the point
now. 1t is the crucial test between
Southern Republicanism and Southern
Democracy"

GREAT BRITAIN MAKES
IMPORTANT CONCESSIONS
An Agreement as to the Alaskan
Boundary Line May Soon Be
Reached

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-Important con-
cessions have been made by Great Britain,
acting for Canada. in the matter of the
Alaskan boundary dispute. This encour-
ages the belief that an agreement for the
establishment of a temporary boundary
line may be reached next week.
The officials are reticent concerning the
character of these concessions, but it is
understood that in the final draft of the
modus vivendi under consideration no pro-
Lynn canal for Canada. 1t seems to be
the general impression that in the per-
maDent arrangement for the settlement of
the dispute 1t will be agreed that Great
Britain shall have a port on Lynn canal
under lease from this government, per-
hapS for ninety-nine years, no matter how
the other points of the controversy may
be settled.
Although Canada has apparently
changed her attitude and agreed TO make
the concessions which Great Britain has
advanced it may be stated that Secretary
Hay has not withdrawn from the position
assumed by this Government that the
boundary line be placed to the northward
of the village of Kluckwan. No matter
whether the dispute is temporarily set
tied or not, this Government thinks that
1t would not do to relinquish foot of ter
ritory which is undoubtedly American,
and Great Britain fully understands the
purpose OF the United States not to with
draw.
Secretary Hay will thoroughly discuss
the Alaska question tomorrow or Mon
day with the President and determine the
attitude of the United States, now that
tlement, at least, of the boundary contro-
VerSy.

THE
W|LDS OF ALASKA
Glenn Party Maps Out
New Trails.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Sept. 2.-SOme details or
the progress made by the Glenn mill
tary exploring party in the Cook Inlet
and Shushitna River country, Alaska,
have been brought here by Quarter
masters Clerk P. H. Kuhn.
Unexpected success was achieved by
the expedition, he reports, as far as its
general purposes went. The Shushitna
has been demonstrated to be navigable
for distance of over $50 miles from
its mouth, with a minimum depth or
water Of three feet. Two of its branches
were assembled and found to be naviga-
BILE for ordinary river boats OF colnpar-
atively light draught.
In general way the exploration OF
the interior of the country is progress
ing favorably, four parties being now
on their way to their several deStlna-
lions.
Before Kuhn left Tynook the last of
the four parties detailed by Captain
Glenn to penetrate the interior had got
ten safely over the divide One party
was led by Lieutenant ]. A. Heron,
with nine men and Indian guides,
bound for the mouth of the Tanana-
The object of this expedition, like
others, was to discover trails leading
to the interior. Lieutenant Heron S
lnQlan guides deserted Wnen ne crosSeu
the divide, but he will be able to reach
his objective point.
Another party of eight, in command
of ]. L. Van Schoonover, is well on the
way to Circle City and should get
through in good season.
Still another party, in charge of
which is Photographer c. e. Griffith, is
working over the divide to Eagle City
and mapping out new trail for pros
pectors.
Finally an expedition was prepared
which was instructed to discover a
practical route for a trail from knik
Arm, on Cook Inlet, to Portage Bay, on
Prince William Sound. This party has
a great deal of work in sight, the coun-
try being rough in the extreme and
filled with glaciers.
There are plenty Of destitute miners
still in the Copper River country and
some even in the Cook Inlet district.

RELIC OF MISSION DAYS.
Monterey Man Finds an Ancient
Pair of Shoes

MONTEREY, Sept. ". Canet, who
occupies the old Girardin homestead on
Houston street, while ransacking an I'M
used closet in the house, came upon a
pair of shoes that were so odd that his
curiosity was at once aroused and he eX-
amned them carefully.
They are made of rawhide,, the work
manship being extremely crude, and are
apparently very old The soles are half
an inch thick. and in order to curve the
uppers in the proper shape small cuts
were made on the surface of the rawhide
Those who have seen the shoes say there
is no doubt that they were made by one
of the Mission Indians.
The shoes are like some that have de-
scended from father to son since Mission
days, only the workmanship is very much
more crude, thus showing them to be
much older.
Mr.. Canet found the shoes hidden away
behind vast accumulation of other ar
ticles, which seemed not to have been
moved for fifty years or more, so thickly
were they covered with the dust and cob
webs of time, and it is believed the shoes
were cast off by some one-probably one
of the Indian poems attached to the house
hold of some former occupant of the old
dwelling.

WEARY TRAMP FROM
SAN ROGUE PLACERS

LOS ANGELES, Sept. among the
returning victims from the San Rogue
placer diggings in Lower California are
Mr.. and Mrs. w. n. Smith Of Denver,
who reached this city to-day on their
return trip, after having walked 500
miles in their struggle to get back to
civilization, and who are now at the
Linwood Hotel
When the couple left Denver they had
several hundred dollars, but the ex-
penses of the trip were so great that
when they discovered the trap into
which they had been led by false re-
ports which came from the peninsula
they were not prepared to get out in
proper shape, and the long, hard tramp
was forced upon them. For mile after
mile, day after day, they struggled
against all manner of hardships, in 4
country almost inconceivably hot and
desolate, until their feet were swollen
and blistered and every step caused
them agony.
Mr. Smith is an old miner, but he de-
clares that he has never encountered
such hardships as those Of Lower Cali
fornia, which he thinks is more for
bidding than the Klondike and lacks the
wealth of the latter country.
