This did excite my curiosity, so. Just

different articles in the room. Without

the bric-a-brac, pictures and furniture

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
Season Drawing to a Close For Al
aska Transportation Companies.

st. Michael! Alaska, Aug. "a (via Sc
attic, Sept. 1O).-This season, which is
rapidly drawing to a close, will see the
exit of several companies engaged in
the transportation business on the
lower Yukon river, leaving the field to
four companies-the North American
Trading & Transportation company,
the Alaska Commercial company, the
Alaska Exploration company and the
Empire Transportation company. 1t is
thought by transportation people that
the latter company will devote the
greater part of it's attention !. to the
ocean end and Cape Nome. The ex-
pertinent by the Empire compony of
trying to navigate the lower Yukon
with. the three-stack, six-screw tug
Empire, towing three or more harbes,
has proven a failure. 1t is said the
experiment cost a large sum of money.
The Empire company has secured
from the government a concession of
land between the property of the
North American Trading & Transport
alton company and the Alaska Com
mercial company upon which wharf
and warehouse will be built. The Alas
ko, Exploration company which has
had its plant across the bay from the
two old companies has spent large
sum this year in building warehouses;
. a hotel and wharves on this side below
the Alaska Commercial company.
The falling off in the passenger bust
ness has been very marked this season.

RARE METAL FOUND.
Discovery of Wolfram North of osce-
ola-Praying For a Railroad.

O1et LII q @set11A ceteAs
A discovery of that valuable, rare
mineral known as wolfram or tungstic
ochre is reported by DR.. H. ]. Faust
in a letter to The Herald written from
Deep Creek The find was recently
made in mining ground situated about
fifteen miles north of Osceola, New.
The property is owned by w. T. Gre
gor and George C. Whitmore, the Ne
phi banker. The ledge contains uranium
besides wolfram.
Wolfram is used for hardening steel.
1t is very scarce in the worlds mar
kets and is worth about 81 troy ounce
in the refined state Uranium is quoted
at SO per twelve-ounce pound.
If the discovery develops into the
mine that its owners anticipate it
means a fortune for them.
Referring to the mining districts of
Osceola, Muncy and Aurum, DR.. Faust
writes that operations are practically
at a standstill there. All the prospect
ors and c1aim-owners. after doing their
annual assessment work, are praying
for the advent of the Compromised
railroad. Millions of tons of ore are
exposed in all the districts of. Deep
Creek and beyond that are not worth
wagon haul of 200 miles to the .smeters,
but with railroad facilities the transit
ton would be most remarkable.

MERCER BURNED IN EFFIGY.
How Indignation Manifested Itself
In New York CITY.

AA NSW 4O4A S1Iy.
New York, Sept 10.-Indignation over
the reconviction of Dreyfus manifested
itself today in many ways. General
MERCER was burned in effigy in
Eldredge street, there was big protest
meeting of Jews in the Thalia theatre,
many preachers referred to the trial in
their sermons, and preparations were
made for an appeal to Washington.
In the burning of the effigy there was
no organized attempt to rouse public
opinion. Several young men made the
effigy of straw soaked with kerosene.
A mask with a. big moustache and a
cap completed the figure. The effigy
was fastened to two upright poles with
wire. On the breast were placards
reading: General MERCER" French
justice" and honest witness"
The meeting at the Thalia theatre
was impressive in its earnestness. The
house was crowded to the doors al
though an admission fee was charged.
Several times the police had to clear
the lobby after the sale of tickets was
stopped.
Invitations were sent today to lead
ing citizens and clergymen irrespective
of race and religion to take part in a
great Dreyfus protest meeting which
will be held this week in Cooper Union
Every leading Hebrew citizen is on
the committee and will take part.
At this meeting will be appointed a
committee of men of standing in the
financial, political and religious world,
who viii go to Washington and ask
the president to make a personal appeal
to President Loubet of France for JUS
tice for Captain Dreyfus.
When the committee is organized
fully, it is proposed to organize Drey-
fus club in every city in the union and
hold meetings of protest. A mammoth
petition for pardon will be obtained and
forwarded to President Loubet.

lRam Horn.J
Mr.. Sturgeon used TO tell good
story about one of his divinity students.
1t was his custom, in order to test the
powers of the young men for speaking,
to give them as they were about to as
cend the pulpit a text to discourse
about on their own plan and in their
own words. This, of course, was not
before an audience, but simply among
themselves for practice. On the occa-
sion referred to he gave to young
man who as yet had not tried the or
dearthe simple word "Zacchaeus." The
young man, tumbling from bead so
foot, said:
Il will divide my subject into three
parts. First, we read that Zacchaeus
was small of stature, and never felt
smaller than at the present moment;
second, we read that Zacchaeus
climbed a tree which reminds me of
my ascent into this pulpit; third, we
read that Zacchaeus made haste TO
come down, which accordingly 1 will
now do"
Whether this man ever became, a
great preacher or not, we are not told.
but, he certainly showed that he pos
