THE OFFICIALS ARE GREEDY.
ARE NOT THERE FOR THEIR
HEALTH ALONE.
Canada's Minions Exact the 4 Ast Pound
Of Flesh From the Miners In the
KlondIke---One Mans
Experience.

Paul Perry, the son OF the late Prof.
Perry. superintendent of the Ann Ar
Dor (Mich.) school, is home from q
two years stay In the KlOndike. he
says he went for experience, which he
got. He thinks the area Of gold-bear-
ing creeks is very limited. There are
only five good paying districts about
Dawson City. BY that he means
claims that pay over $40 a day. He
cannot relate enough about the cor
ruption OF the Canadian officials. he
thinks the members OF the Tweed
ring In New York were angels COM
pared to the Canadian custom house
officers and land office officials. He
purchased an outfit from a man nam
ed Sennett, which had not cost Ben
nett over $50 The custom house OH
Ger demanded $26 duty. Upon Ben
nett's kicking, the custom house OH
Ger said he had made mistake, that
the duty was $780, The next man that
came along after Bennett had an out
fit costing $1,000. He had some fresh
meat with him and gave the inspector
a piece. His duties were only $12.
When the men stood in line at the
land office in Dawson City $40 bl
would gain admission at the side dOOr
and $50 would cause the clerk to an
tedate location. If prospector
would get into Dawson City and go to
get his claim located, he would be
asked what his claim would pan out.
If the reply was ten or twenty-five
cents a pan, which was good, the OH
Gals would answer, after taking his
minutes and appearing to look it up,
that he thought there was prior To-
cation and the prOspectOr should come
to the Office in five days. In. the
meantime a note was sent out to some
one in the gang and the claim would
be located and the stakes dated back.
and the Industrious prospectOr would
be out in the cold. The officials sent
out by the government at Ottawa.
instead OF trying to snow up the cor
ruption, seem to try to cover it up to
prevent any scandal. The miners
must pay a miners license, fee to
cut down logs to build boat or
raft, and also a fee for the privilege
of building the boat. The officials
have gone there to enrich themselves
by bleeding the people. With English
soldiers standing around to enforce
the robbery the Americans seem to
lose all of their courage and act very
supinely. In any part Of the United
States there would be riot under
similar circumstances. Last winter
there were 10000 people around Daw-
son City and this winter only $4,000
If the camp was run under American
mining laws it would be great

The celebration of the eightieth an
niversaTy Of Queen Victoria's birth
naturally called forth comparisons be-
tween the fashions and social customs
that obtained in England when the
sovereign was young and those of the
present day. On the whole ii must be
admitted this generation has the adj
vantage in these matters. But as
Lady Jeune has pointed out, it has not
improved for the better in all re-
spects. For example, women are less
womanly in 1890 than they were in
1919. Parents are treated less 70.
specially nowadays, and the demean-
or of women in public is less dignified
than formerly. However, women do
understand the art of dress a great
deal better than the dowdy matrons
and maids of the early years of the
century. OF course, they had fewer
opportunities to dress, and there was
far less idea of their outrivaling each
other in attire than is now the case
while less attention was given to the
dainty accessories which do so much
to give elegance and finish to a WON
ans toilet, and upon which such in
finite care and taste are now bestowed.

curing source Of satisfaction to
Wellesley damsels that their yell is
the yell musical.
This is the way of it: Ira la la la.
Ira la la la, Ira la la la, la la la, Yves

In contrast to this is the cry of the
University Of North Dakota, which
more nearly in sound and meaning re-
sembles an Indian war whoop:
"OdZ-dZO-dZ! Ri-ri-ri! Hy-ah,
hy-ah! North Dakotav'
Williams College boys went rather
far afield to find rhyme:
"Rah! Rah! Rah! Yums, yams,
yams, gums! Will-yums"
The West Pointer also shows some
ingenuity IN this respect:
"Rah! Kah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!
West Point! West Point! Armayw
"Roch-Chalk-J K. u" is
the crv which does great credit to the
ingenuity of the University of Kan
sas boys.
Equally touching is the yell which
one hears at the University of Illinois:
"Rah-hoo-rah Zip boom ali! Hip
ZOO rah-zoo, Jimmy, blow your ba-
zoo. Ip-sidi-iki, u. of l. Cham

The names of the college colors are
introduced with the cheers of the Uni
versity of North Carolina:
"Rah! Rah! Rah! White and blue!
Vive-la Vive-la n. C. u"
Notre Dame University cheer also
perpeIuates the names of it's colors:
"Rah! Rah! Rah! Gold and blue.

didn't take long for a crowd to gather,
as the young women spent most Of
their time on the float.
A young lady camper at the lake had
to settle for anothers bowling on the
lake alleys last evening as the result Of
wager on the Ten Eyck- Mcguire race
The first young lady must have been
listening to bad advice regarding boat
racing. She thought Ten Eyck wouldn't
be in sight when Mcguire had his shell
housed. She happened to say so in the
hearing of the second young lady. The
latter said it would be just terrible if
Mcguire should do that, and it would
be real mean of him, too. Finally they
agreed to wager the cost of bowling as
long as they felt disposed. The loser
paid her wager like little man on the
alleys last evening. The next time she
bets she's going to wait until the event
is finished.
Manager Crandall of Robertson's
boat house received yesterday a long
deck canoe, which is now the popular
style of craft. It is not only that, but
it has mahogany deck and trimmings,
and is altogether the most handsome
canoe soen in this city.

TROUBLE ON ELM STREET.
A Party OF Ten EnIivens Life Near the Lincoln
House for a Time.

Trouble brewed on Elm street in the
vicinity of the Lincoln House, last eve
ming, shortly after midnight, and be-
fore it was settled one member of the
party of 10 looked as though he had
passed through a threshing machine.
While it was at its height, the mem
bers of the party were tipped the po-
lice We're coming, and they jumped into
two teams, which they had hitehed
nearby, and for a few seconds chances
for their escape looked bad.
One of the men jumped into his wag-
on, and in the excitement grabbed the
reins from the other horses back with
l bad result. The second horse started
and the wheels of both teams inter-
locked and but for timely assistance
If bystanders the police would have
scooped in the crowd. When last seen

over Elm street towards the west side

Miss Burrill had picked herself UP in
the meantime, and limped to the as
sistance Of Mrs. Underwood and Mrs.

Bystanders willingly lent aid to the
injured persons and assisted them to
the Trinity house on the hill, where eV-
erything within the range of POSSIBLE
ity was done to relieve the sufferings of
the injured ones.
The horse continued on down the hill,
where he was stopped before further
damage was done.
In the meantime, Will B. Brigham, a
clerk in the employ of Mitchell & Saw

they returned to the camp grounds
DR.. Merriam realized the serious con-

determined to use an anesthic to deaden
the pain, while he dressed the wound.
Ether was accordingly administered,
and DR. Merriam began his surgical
task. But the life of the child could

MONEY TAYEH from HER BENCH

One of the saddest cases to come to
the attention of the Worcester police in
a number of years was related to Capt.
David A. Matthews at Station 1 yester-
day afternoon by Julia Zaporte, a Pc
hsh woman, who had sos stolen from
her handbag yesterday.
Inc sadd|st feature of the case is that
the money represented her earnings for

qustfiousiy saved with the intention of

near her work bench, where she eonld
keep her eye on it constantly.
About noon she left the room fo
few moments, and when she RETURNS
the bag had been ritied Of it's contents
and the pin which held the top together
was lying on the floor near her bench.
Almost distracted at the thought o
losing the money it had taken he

in the same room with her, but they
failed to throw any light on its where

to Capt. Matthews.
