She said that her daughter was going TO

said she had bought cream there, and was
delighted with 1t. In fact she considered

4 New Jersey Mans Return With

Pennington, N. J., July 3.-Kit Kuhl,
who sold out a large furniture and house
furnishing business in this place in 1897
to embark in a Klondike expedition to
search for gold, has just returned. Kuhl
brings back large experience. for which
he has exchanged every dollar that he
was worth.
He left this place with more than SIS 0J0
and his return was at the expense of the
railroads over which he travelled, and wss
made principally in freight cars. occupy
ing about three months from Seattle 10
New York.
His version of the gold found in the
Northwest does not agree with the re-
ports sent out from Seattle and oher
points.
His first effort to get into the interior
was over the fourth glacier at the head of
Disenchantment Bay, where, with a large
party. he attempted to get into the dis
trict where they expected to find the head
waters of the Tananna River.
This proved an impossibility. and he,
with two companions, Guy Bissby and
Thomas O'Neill, of st. Paul. Mimi, re-
turned to Seattle. No sooner did they ar
rive at Seattle than newspaper OF that
city wrote them up as having returned
with fortunes, the combined amount Of
which was $4,000 in gold nuggets.
Bissby wrote n letter denouncing the
heartless story. which would lead hun
dreds to make the same mistake they had
made, and the newspaper refused TO pub
lish it.
Kuhl then went into British Columbia,
fifty miles north of Greenwood, which had
been written up in the West as great
god field. In that country he found the
British laws prevented Americans from
placer digging. and a license fee had to he
taken out yearly for quartz mining, which
simply prohibited any individual mining
operations
Kuhl is broken in health as well as
purse. having been through a severe at
tack of mountain fever.

New York. July 3.-William A. Eddy, of
Bayonne. N. j., will on July make an
interesting experiment to determine the
difference in wind velocity on the earth and
at an altitude. He will release a hot-air
balloon, on which will be directed postal
card and note requesting the finder to
note on the postal card the place and time
that the balloon is found and to have it
attested by three witnesses, if possible.
The direction and distance travelled by
the balloon will thus be timed, showing the
wind velocity in free air without friction.
The results Will be compared with the sur
face wind at the Weather Bureau in New
