KL0NDIKE HAS MADE SEATTLE.

The gold craze i'm Alaska has made
the everlasting fortune OF the city OF
Seattle. The last Alaska steamer sailed
September II and closed the season of
1899 The last boats were full to the
guards and goods We're piled even on
the upper decks. Seattle has been rush
ed day and night since July !, and its
merchants have already began 10 pre-
pare for the rush OF 1900.
The truth is that Seattle was caught
mapping and did not appreciate what
a demand would be created by the ac-
tivity on the Yukon. This was especi-
ally true in the matter of mining ma
chinery. Seattle was cleaned out early
in the season and had TO draw on the
Pacific coast Seattle machine shops
that manufacture hoists. boilers and
thawing machinery have been running
night and day for more than two
months. Though the stock on hand ex-
ceeded the combined supply of Port
land and San Francisco, the whole Pa
cifc coast was drained by Seattle,
which was finally forced 20 draw on
the East. Even then many miners had
no return without machinery. Ii is con-
servatively estimated that more than
$3.50 900 was spent i'm Seattle alone in
the two months ending with sept. II:
The machinery consists principally OF
boilers. engines. thawing plants, cleo
trio lights and centrifusal pumps.
Dr. Il. OrviIle Wilcoxon OF Chicago

FEMININE FASHIONS.
Pale Cc1o-s Are Now Very
Popular.

The pale cloth gowns continue to in
crease in beauty and popularity, and no
more becoming fashion has ever been in
vogue. One of the prettiest new ones is
of satiny cloth in faint shade of porce-
lain blue. The beautifully fitted tunic
fastens down the center with curved
bands of stitched cloth and then gives
place to an arrangement of graduated
bands of ribbon velvet, which simulate
a flounce in shape of trellis-work de-
sign in effect and SO reveal the presence
of a sweeping under hounce Of filmy
lace. The same idea is carried out in
the yoke of the bodice, while a sort of
fichn Of lace is drawn round the shout
ders. !.
Another cloth gown Is pure white; the
trained skirt is encircled by three inser-
ton bands of gathered chiffon outlined
with sable, the same combination Of
contrasting fabrics being used for the
fashioning of the fichu, which is draped
