TOM R. ARMTAGE WRITES
DOES NOT THINK WELL OF THE
KLONDIKE.

Thus Far Unmeeded-Everybo body
Hurries in Dawson.

Many people will remember Tom r.
Armitage, cousin of Harry, the mil
lionaire broker and promoter, who
spent a long season in Honolulu a
short while ago. Tom is a character,
besides he is a plunger. Once he tried
to raise tobacco in Queensland, but
raised so many debts that he left in no
good humor. 1t was then that he came
to Honolulu
When the Klondike started up again
last year Tom left for Alaska. He led
part of the big procession over the
Chilkoot and experienced about as
many hardships as any of them But
what of that when the gold fields were
ahead? Here is what he wrote his
cousin here by the last mail:
you'll think me a queer sort of a
duck for not writing sooner, and l am
not going to make any excuses, be-
cause, at the best they would be mere
ly excuses. Have thought of you Of

here do that already SO guess I will
be out of the ordinary, although
frankly, my opinion of it is not good
LAS you know, it is not the place il
is cracked up to be.
Arrived here with my partner at
the end of July, with very few friends
and the same amount of grub. Found
thousands of men doing nothing. Sc

make a grub stake by October LIST and
then took a LAY" on Sulphur creek
forty miles from Dawson, where we

GORDON MEMORIAL COLLEGE.

In connection with Lord Kitcheners
refusal to make the Gordon Memorial
College, a Christian institution, it is
contended that if the college is to be
of any practical value it must be non
Christian and actually Mussulman in
it's constitution and teaching. Cor
don's sister it is reported, has either
made or is about to make a public pro-
test against any institution from which
the Bible is excluded, purporting to
perpetuate the memory of her illustri-
Gus brother, who, above all things, was
an ardent Christian. There is un-
doubtedly a considerable number of
persons who are unable to see the
absolute necessity of General Kitchen
er'S resolve.

During the Indian campaigns in Tex

war with Spain it was not a matter Of

appointed major general Of volun-

this been promoted to the rank of
brigadier general.
The particulars of his campaign in
