ALASKA'S FIRST WHITE CHILD
Its Father Wn~ Colonel brady, Who
Died In Chicago the
Other Day.

Lieut.. Col. George Il. Brady, U. S. A..
who died 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
was taken in October. 1867, George II.
Brady, then captain in the Twenty
third infantry, was ordered to Alaska,
and, with his troops, sent to Sitka un-
der Gen. Rousseau.
There were about 500 Americans and
600 foreigners in the territory in add
ton to the native population, varously
estimated from 10000 TO 6O,O0O. Few
of the officers cared TO take their fam
lilies to n region that then seemed as
remote from the United States as do
the Philippines to the army people of
1899. Mrs. Brady, who had lost her
only child, insisted upon accompanying
her husband, and after she arrived at
Sitka she was most agrceably surprised
in the little garrison over which the
American flag was raised with much
ceremony. But the flag raising was
scarcely Il more important even, than
the appearance of the first native
American citizen. The child was born
in 1869, and She entire post paid homage
to the baby girl. The infan, was bap-
TIED Harriet Brady. Although the
climate of Stka is mild, the little one
did not thrive there. and when only
three weeks old she died.
There was great mourning when IL
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
cmbalmcr or skilled undertaken, until
the next boat sailed for the states.
Then ii was shipped TO Chicago, where
it was prepared for burial. Later the
tiny coffin containing the body that had
travelled thousands of miles was sent
to Pittsburgh for interment.
DR.. Miflin. b. Brady. physician OF
Cincinnati, born in the early seventies,
in Montana. is the only surviving broth
err of the little Harriet.

A COMPARISON.
Quantity Of American Goods Hauled
by Canadian Railroads During
Last Two Iears.

statement has been prepared at The
treasury department which shows that
during the calendar year 1895 the num-
Der of cars loaded with goods Skinned
through the United States from one
point in Canada to another was 1896,
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, 300. the con-
tents Of which weighed 5,637.l73 tons.
1t thus appears that the quantity Of
American goods hauled by Canadian
roads was about q times greater than
the quantity of Canadian goods hauled
by American roads.

PICKLED SHEEPSKINS,

The discovery was made last summer

showing that they had been picked.
The skins were taken out of the casks
and hung up over night 10 dry. They
were then exhibited to dealers and tan
ncrs, who, from the appearance OF the
skins, pronounced them to he leather.
II was asrrrtalncd that these skins had
undergone lengthy process of manu-
farinre. such as taking of supcrtluous
flesh. putting in lime watts and handling

Many skins are merely dried in he SUM-
and will keep long time. Such skins
are considered raw skins" Years ago
hundreds Of thousands OF smn-dried
shcrpskins were shipped TO Philadcl-
phia from Colorado or other hen terri
tories, and sometimes they remained
nnSold for many months without in the
least changing their character. Such
skins were always considered "raw."
All the ports now place Il duty on
picked manufactured skins and
picked skins not split, picked skins
grain side splits and picked skins flesh
side splits. They are commercially
known as "roans" for the whole skin
and splits OF various kinds. They arc
never bought and sold as raw skins"
Some OF the American pullcrs sell the
skins just after the wool is taken off
them, while others, pullcrs and tanners
combined, work the skin up to the
point OF perfection that the trial skins
represent. The skin after ii is dried
over night would deceive almost any
leather dealer OF 40 years standing. be-
cause it is finished up to II point where
nothing is required but final finishing

TURNS A MAUsER BULLET.
Obtained with q New French
Cuirass.

Remarkable experiments with new
cuirass constructed by French In
ventor named Thureaud were made at
Asnicres. 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 Maui
ser rifle Of six millimcters caliber was
employed alta distance Of 70 yards. The
shot struck the cuirass in the center.
The front was found to be torn, but

very slight, while the back lining was
intact. I'm word" the report Of the
experiments says. "the impcnetra bility
