-FOUR famous Field brothers to retire to

Field has made rather less stir in the
world than his distinguished brothers,
yet he has made a name for himself as

earned his reward of rest as any of
them.

no more conspicuously than in its be-
het that a sensation" there must be
vastly more important than similar
occurrence elsewhere. The fuss its
newspapers make over tragic "mys-
terry of any sort is governed wholly
by the fact that it did or did not take
place in that city. Fancy the spasms
the New York papers would be in these
days had tragedy like the one at
Marlboro occurred in Gotham.

ALASKA As AN oBsrcr Lgssos.

ALASKA As AN OBJECT LgsssoS.
An appeal ia behalf of Alaska
made to President Mckinley by
Nicholas, the retiring Bishop of the
Greek Ci.arch in Alaska aud the
Alentlan Islands, is OF rather
startling nature. coming. as il does,
Just now. "Alaska," says Bishop
Nicholas, stands in need OF radi-
cal reforms in all directions. A
limit must be set to the abuses Of
The various companies, more cspe-
cially 70 those Of the Alaska Com
mercial Company, which far over
thirty years, has had there the un-
troiled management of affairs aud
has reduced the country's hunting
and fishing resources to absolute
exhaustion aud the population to
beggary and semi-staIyaiim. A
limit must be set TO the ebnses of
officials"
''In the name of humanity"
continues the Bishop, "of justice
and freedoR-of those very bless-
'ngs for the sake of which you de-
clared war against Spain--I make
these requests. Will you be acting
consistently il while wagIng war
for the liberty of Cuba. Porto Rico
and the PHILIPPINES for their human
rights yon ignore all these things at
home, in part Of your owB conn.
try which has been waiting thirty
years for the blessings promised to
it?"
The administration is embarking
gaily into the government of the
vast savage population of the Phil
ippine Islands, and here, in words
of soberness aud truth, this prelate
tells us how we have governed AL
aska. Is there any guarantee that
the Philippines will be governed
any better and that they, ike Al
aska, will not be handed over bodi-
lY to some favored corporations?
The United States flag had not
been raised over MORO Castle be-
fore the corporations we're contend
ing for possession OF Cubalike vul-
lures over carcass. When we
consider the record of this govern
ment in dealing with our Indian
tribes and the iobbery aud corrup-
tion which have always attended it,
and when we put this along with
the description of affairs as given
by Bishop Nicholas, we have o
warning which prudent and patrl-
otic citizens cannot ignore. Bal

On the 18th a heavy storm was
reported off the New England Cen
trail States coast, and nun Der OF
fishing schooners foundered, most
OF the crews escaping in boats.
In Asiatic waters on the 23d of
June a Chinese war vessel WIS
wrecked at Pors Arthur, and $50
of her crew drowned, and at the
same time the Chinese jnnks aud
fishing craft suffered severely. and
on the 26th of October sixty Japa-
nese were drowned as n result of a
collision between two steamers.
Another storm swept the Altar
tic coast on the l1tb Of Noyem Der,
and as result the newly raised
Maria Teresa, which was proceed
ing to Newport News, had to be
abandoned, the crew believing her
to be in sinking condition. The
vessel did not sink, however, but
stranded on Cat Island, where she
rapidly went to pieces. During
this storm the Westmeath was
abandoned.
On the 18th OF November the
British steamship Londonian sailed
from Boston for London with
large general cargo and ESQ head If
cattle on deck. On the 23d in a
violent gale the ship shifted the
greater part of her cargo and Mso
capsized. For two days the men
were in danger of drowning, aud
then the Vedamore hove in sight
and rescued forty five of the crew
by three days of hard work, during
which time several men of the We'd
amore we're nearly drowned from

rescue the imperiled sailors. On
the third night the ships parted

lieved the Londonian had swamped

City Gas Light.

DIR. Jackson's store was the cen.
ter of attraction several nights
this week on account OF being bril-.
llantly lighted with acetylcne pas.
DIR. Jackson generated the gas in
the store, which is produced by the
action Of water on carbide, II sub
stance made, we believe. from car
bon and lime under very great heat.
Acetylene is by no means IL new
gas, having been known for a. long
time, but heretofore has been very
expensive. New methods of man.

so chcapened this gas as to make it
