Parito. Believed 20 be the last Yaqui
Indian in California. is dead at Salina,
Cal. He was 10s years old. according to

two additional strokes last week were
the forerunners of the end. which was
one of terrible suffering for the poor
old red man. who. in his last days, was
carried back to his youth. and the bat
ties OF nearly century ago were re-
fought in his feeble mind.

A COMPARISON.
Quantity Of Americas Goods HauleA
By Canadian Railroads During
Last Two Years.

A statement has been prepared at the
treasury department which shows that
during the calendar year 1898 the num-
Der of cars loaded with goods shipped
through the United States from one
point in Canada to another was 10, ,966,
the contents Of which weighed 200 900
tons. The records of the department
show that during the calendar year
1897 (the figures for 1898 not being
available) the number Of cars loaded
with American goods shipped through
Canada from one point in the United
States to another was 46O, ,2ee. the con-
tents Of which weighed 5.637.173 tons.
1t thus appears that the quantity of
American goods hauled by Canadian
roads was about ~ times greater than
the quantity of Canadian goods hauled
by American roads.

TURNS A MAUsER BULLET.
The Remarkable Results Which Are
Obtained with . New French
CuiraSs.

Remarkable experiments with new
cuirass constructed by French in
ventor named Thureaud were made at
Asnieres. The cuirass is composed of q
sheet of metal fitted with an inner and
an outer lining. The composition of
the metal sheet and the nature Of the
Innings are secret. The weight is about
seven pounds fourteen ounces A Mau-
ser rifle of six millimeters caibcr was
employed at distance of 20 yards. The
shot struck the cuirass in the center.
The front was found to be torn. but
the indentation of the metal plate was
very slight, while the back lining was
intact. "In word" the report OF the
experiments says, 'the impenetra bility
OF the cuirass was proved to be per-

Plucky Fight Of a Gold Hunter
Which Ended in the Death
of Both.

F. H. Browning, of Seattle, WASH,
who has just returned from Dawson
over the ice, brings news of the terrible
death of Carl Joel, of New York. who
was killed by Yukon bear on the
banks Of Indian river. These bears re-
semble q cinnamon, but are larger.
Joel was tramping up the trail with
heavy pack, when he suddenly came
face to face with big Yukon bear,
which started for the miner as soon as
he saw him. Joel was armed with q
heavy ~ Colt revolver, and every cham
Der was loaded. He started to fire at
the beast when he was 20 feet away.
His aim was steady, and when he pulled
the trigger bullet struck home. Blood
spouted from a severed artery, and he
wrote out the story Of the fight in GRIM
son on the snow. The bear kept on and
the miner fired again. Another spurt
Of blood showed that the second bullet
went home. No vital spot had been
struck. and with the huge beast lum-
bering down upon him Joel stood his
ground and fred the remaining cart
ridges. As the beast was upon him he
fred his last shot. The bullet struck
home over the heart, but it had been
Ared too late. With it's last and tre-

MAY SELL HER HOUSE.
Ars. sloane Arranging to Live Abroad
for . Time-Value Of
Her Mansion.

Mrs. Henry Sloane has arranged to
sell her house in East Seventy-second
street, New York city. and will live
abroad for a time, returning to occupy
. smaller residence or apartments. s.
Handsome entertainments have been
held in the Seventy second street house,
but Mrs. Sloane feels unable to keep
up this establishment with its respon-
sibilities.
Mr.. Sloane, 30 far as is known, did
not make any settlements upon Mrs.
Sloane other than the Seventy-second
street house and its contents. The
house and the ground It stands upon are
worth about $2sO.OOO, according to real
estate men. The furnishings, etc..
cost more than 100000.
MrA Sloane has Jewels popularity val
ued at more than $780, 900, which were
given to her by Mr.. Sloane during the
II years Of their married life.
From her father, Daniel Robbins. Mrs.
Sloane inherited modest fortune, but
the income would be unequal to the de-
mands Of a costly establishment like
the 6eventy-second street house. The
house is OF marble. about 500 feet wide
and 100 deep.

ALAsKA's FIRST WHITE CHILD
lts Father Was Colonel Draay, Whe
Died n CAicagO the
other nay.

Lieut.. Col. George K. Brady, q. 8. A.,
who died 4 few days ago at his home
in Chicago, was the father Of the first
American child born in Alaska. When
formal possession Of the new territory
wac taken in October, 1887, George x.
Brady, then captain in the Twenty
third infantry, was ordered TO Alaska,
and, with his troops. sent to Sitka unr
der Gen. Rousseau
There were about 500 Americans and
coo Foreigners in the territory In addi-
ton to tie native population. variously
estimated from $4,000 to 10000, Few
Of the officers cared to take their fam
lilies to region that then seemed a.
remote from the United states % do
the Philippines TO the army people Of
1890. Mrs. Brady, who had lost her
only child, insisted upon accompanying
her husband, and after she arrived at
sitke she was most agreeably surprised
in the little garrison over which the
American flag was raised with much
ceremony. But the flag raising was
scarcely a more important event than
the appearance Of the first native
American citizen. The child was born
in 1860. and the entire post paid homage
TO the baby girl. The infant was bap-
tized Harriet Brady. Although the
climate Of Sitka is mild, the little one
did not thrive there, and when only
three weeks old she died.
There was great mourning when it
was announced that death had come
to Alaska's first American child. and
there was an impressive funeral serv-
ice. In. those days only one boat
month ran to Alaska. The little body
was kept in alcohol, for there was no
embalmer or skilled undertaken. until
the next boat sailed for the states.
Then it was shipped to Chicago. where
1t was prepared for burial. Later the
tiny coffin containing the body that had
travelled thousands of miles was sent
to Pittsburgh for interment.
DIR. Miflin B. Brady, physician of
Cincinnati, born in the early seventies,
in Montana, is the only surviving broth
er of the little Harriet.

WHEAT FOR SPAIN.
First Direct shipment Since Declar.
alton Of War Received at
Valencia.

Consular Agent Merteps, at Valencia,
has reported to the state department
the first direct shipment from the
United States to Spain since the decla-
ration of war. 1t was steamer cargo
of 1000 bushels of red winter wheat,
shipped from New York. 1t proved en-
tirely satisfactory in quality, and i'm
porters are willing to receive more dur
ing the winter or spring. The price
seems to compare favorably with that
OF Russian wheat (the kind generally
imported in Spain where there is de-
mand for foreign wheat). although
American wheat pays 20 per cent high
er duties than grain from countries
which have q commercial treaty with
Spain.

ISILK FROM GELATIN.
Our Consul Tells How Il 10 Asth
1lcially Produced


A very curions report comes TO the
state department. from Consul Franken.
thai at Berne, Switzerland, on the NOM
afacture Of artificial silk from gelatin.
TAe consul says that his Information 10

lege, in Leeds. England, WIG IL the In
ventof Of the process, and who has sub
mitted specimens Of his product to
Swiss silk manufacturers
The gelatin to be turned into silk -
heated at certain temperature, which
keepsit continually in liquid form. The
reservoir containing this liquid has =
cover with inuumerable small openings,
through which the gelatin ooEes in very
fine streams. These, tiny threads are
discharged on an endless strip of linen
cloth running over pulleys. When this
strip has travelled far enough to dry the
gelatin the threads are picked up auto
lnatically and wound upon spools.
The whole apparatus 10 said to re-
quire very little attention, q single
workman overseeing enough machines
to produce 100000 yards Of thread per
day-equal to the production of 24,OOO
cocoons. To make the gelatin threads
proof against being dissolved in warm
water or any other solution they are
lightly wound on drums and subjected
to fumes in O close room for several
hours. Coloring matter added in very
small proportions to the liquid gelatin
produces any shade of thread desired.
This artificial silk is said to be extreme
ly brilliant and very uniform in thick
ness.
The greatest drawback to it's useful
ness is its low tensile strength. But
this. 1t is said. can be overcome by mix
ing the gelatin fiber with real silk. fine
linen or cotton. The statement is made
that this silk can be produced at $1.15
per pound. Collodion silk now costs
about $3.50 per pound. while natural
silk is worth $6.25.
