1t IL now reported that 200 men
died during the past winter while
en- route To Alaska over the Edmon-
ton trail. They met their fate In the
wilds Of British Columbia from hun
ger, freezing, accidents and disease.
Fifty are said to have persisted In the
Great Slave Lake. The bodies of a
score of men who died Of exposure
have been found. A man named
Collins, an old British Columbia pros
pector, committed suicide. He was
Respondent over his failure to reach
the Klondike and had eaten all of his
provisions. Another man Is also
supposed to have ended his life
through dependency. The names
of many Of those who lost their lives
have been given, hence there Is little
chance Of the report being a canard.
II the facts are as stated the Edmon-
ton route to- the Klondike should be
abandoned entirely. 1t il a trail of
hardships and suffering any season
OF the year. 1t seems incredible that
men should attempt to makeitin the
winter time.

NOBLE WORDS.

Probably one Of the most eloquent
addresses delivered on Decoration
day was that 10y Col. Watterson of the
Louisville Courier Journal. He
spoke at Cave Hill cemetery, Ken
lucky, where 200 union soldiers are
buried. Following aresomeextracts
from his patriotic address:
"The issues that evoked the strife
of sections are dead issues. The con-
nict, which was thought to be irrec-
oncilable and was certainly inevita-
bile, ended more than 30 years ago.
1t was fought to its bloody conclu-
sion by fearless and honest men. To
some the result was l~Ogical-to
Others II was disappointing-to all

We believe Gov. Smith and the
state board Of pardons are making n
great mistake in the wholesale man.
ner in which they are exercising the
pardoning power. What Ia the OBJ
jet Of courts and costly trials II the
sentence imposed upon criminals il
to be committed? There may be PIX
ceptional cases where the pardoning
power can be used with justice to the
condemned and safety to the CON-
monwealth, but they are extremely
rare. That such power has been
abused in this state there can be no
doubt. There IL one character OF
crime In which the pardoning power
should be cautiously exercised, and
that is forgery. In n sparsely settled
region like Montana, where a great
many checks are used in the transac-
ton of business, particularly in pay
ing off help, there Is a great tempta-
ton for transient and irresponsible
parties TO raise checks and forge the
name OF employers. We understand
that this Is a growing offense and
that bankers and business men are
frequently coming in contact with
checks OF this character, and that it
requires the utmost vigilance tn de-
tect the fraud. Some of the forgerles
are so clever that they would not
only battle IN expert, but deceive
the party on whom they were
drawn. 1t is dangerous, as a gen.
eral proposition, to show any
leniency to this class OF criminals. II
they get out OF one scrape OF this
kind without much difficulty, 1t en-
courages them to try IL again. Some
other section OF the country becomes
a new field for their operations. II
is a species OF crime that Ia hard to
detect, and too frequently the perpe-
traitors escape before an arrest can
be made. The governor should be
careful in extending executive elem
ency In such cases, and the penalty
for forgery should be made very Sc
we're.

T REGIMENTS.
hi Fusfleers Raised in India and
the Royal Rifles Organized
In New York.

The names Of the British regiments
are not to be taken as indicating much.
The Royal Dublin fusiliers, to which,
according to one dispatch, the credit
for the capture of the Beers position
should be accorded, is regiment raised
in India some 200 years ago, which in
all probability has never been in Ire
land. 1t got the name probably for
the reason that at the time of the re-
organization of the army in 1881 three
battalions Of Irish militia were attached
to 1t as its reserve.
The Royal Rife corps, which Is re-
ported to have lost heavily in its charge
on the Beers, Is a famous regiment
which was organized in New York in
1775. It was originally known as the
"Sixty-second Royal American regi-
ment of foot" One hundred years ago
the regiment was famous for the
craftsmanship of its members. To-day
tits famous for the same reason, and no.
torious from the fact that it includes
any number Of "bad boys" who were en-
listed to be Strengthened out. It is an
interesting reminder Of our own little
trouble with Great Britain.

CHRONIC LOSER OF TICKETS
A Profitable scheme Worked by an
INDECENT Old Woman ON the
Travelling Public.

A respectfully dressed old woman, ap-
parently in deep distress, was noticed
standing at the foot of the steps of an
elevated railroad station the other day
just at the hour when the rush was at
its height. The oma had apparent
ly lost something of value. She
searched her pockets, shook out her
skirts and scanned the ground on every
side. OF course, 1t was not long before
her distress attracted the notice OF
passersby. II have lost my ticket" she
said, in answer to the query of a mar
who stopped for a moment in his rush
for the train. 81 don't know what to
do, for I have not a nickel with me and
I live away uptown"
The man, says the New York Sun,
pulled a string of tickets from his pock-
ct, tore off one, handed it to the woman
and resumed his rush without waiting
for her thanks. But the woman did not
follow. She merely moved across to the
flight of steps on the other side. Here
she resumed her search, with the result
that a nickel was transferred to her
pocket by a passing woman. Next she
crossed the avenue and gathered some
more nickels and tickets from the pas
sengers going in the opposite direction,
finally returning to her original stand
where her plight attracted as much
compassion al before. While the OBJ
server was looking on, the woman made
two rounds of the stairs, each round o.
cupying about ten minutes. Sometimes
she was able to conduct three or four
successful operations without chang
ing her position. tits probable that her
average earnings were at the rate Of
two dollars in nickels and negotiable
tickets an hour.
