Welded After Fifty Years.

RossLAND, B. c., June ia romantic
marriage took place here recently. Fully
half century ago George, Kuchle and
Bertha Weidel went to school together,
and subsequently became engaged. Cir
cumstancee separated them, however,
and in the course of time each of them
married. For twenty-five years the two
never met, and eventually one lost a
much-loved husband while the other
mourned the lose of devoted wife. Each
learned by some means of the lonely con-
dition OF the other. They met again, and
the early affection which had so long lain
dormant in their breasts sprang into life
with unabated vigor. The rest followed
as matter of course. The pair came

Five Killed, Twenty Five Wounded is
Our Total List of Casualties.

MANILA, June ia battalion of the
Fourth infantry, which left linus with
General Wheaton in command this
morning to reconnolter to oSard Pedas
Deslnarln, was attacked in the rear by
apparently friendly natives. This
brought on d sharp engagement lasting
several hours and five Americans being
killed and twenty five wounded. The
loss of the rebels was very heavy.
The battalion soon exhausted its am
munition and Wheaton and his staff
with two mountain guns and one field
piece went to reinforce the troops which
were attacked. General Wheaton was
fred on in the road and had a narrow
escape.
The third battalion was ordered to the
front and formed on the Las Minas road.
Heavy firing on both sides followed,
artillery being freely used. The enemy
was located in the woods at 4 o'clock,
showing signs of retiring as the rebels
were pressed very hard. One gun of
the Sixth artillery did great execution.
The fighting was still in progress at 5
O'Clock, at which time the Americans
had secured quantity of Filipino arms
which had been abandoned in the woods.
The scene of the fighting is 20 miles
from Manila.

IN ALASKA
Three Eastern Men Get Lost and One Is
Eaten.

CIRCLE CITY, Alaska, May 29.-Via
San Francisco, June ia story of pos
slble cannibalism and death on the
Yukon trail hasjust reached here. Three
men who left Dahl river on December s.,
for Jimtown, were not heard of again and
they were supposed to have been lost.
Nothing was heard of them here till the
steamer Rideout, which arrived today,
brought terrible tale of suffering and
horror.
The men were Michael Daily, Victor
Edair and M. Provost. They. were from
Providence, R. l., Woonsocket, r. L.,
and Brockton, Mass, respectively. They
were discovered seventeen miles from
the mouth of Old Man creek, they hav-
ing lost the trail and become bewildered.
Having left Dahl river with only three
weeks food, but which was amply suffi-
cient for the $50 miles to Jimtown, the
poor fellows were soon reduced to starva-
ton.
Daly's body was found, partly eaten,
in tent, and on the stove just as it was
left W hen death overlook the others were
found some scraps of moose hide and
Lnoccasins of which they were endeavor-
ing to make stew.
Daly's body was identified by the
clothes. The other two men were found
dead five miles away from the tent. The
fact of the tent flaps being shut down
when found would preclude the possibil-
ity of Daly's body having been eaten by
animals. The other men doubtless were
driven by hunger to the awful extrem-
ity of cannibaliem. Four hundred
dollars were found on the bodies.

She is in an atmosphere in which no girl

she does not care to see and hear. Yet
the east side girl is no saint. Far from

dance all night and work all day, repeat

of Hugh J. Grant, ex-mayor of New
York, and Ulysses S. Grant. Jr.: 1t is
not a bit odd that they should have been
chums at college. Name often draws men
together. One day, long after they had
cut their political eyeteeth, after Hugh
was sheriff, Buck said, as they strolled
down Broadway: Hugh, why is it you
are SO modesto" With sly twinkle the
future mayor replied: "Modesty doesn't
do man any harm in politics. Hugh
Grant may have an easy" look about
his face, but he can hold his own with

How the Choctaws Are Faithful Unto
Death.

Probably there is no other class of peo-
pie in the world in this respect like the
Chectaws. They believe in each other as
a child believes in its mother. When one
Choctaw Indian tells another that GER
tain thing will be done, it can be depend
ed upon that it will be done. This GUS
tom of turning a prisoner loose without
bail commenced among the Choctaws
half a century ago. An Indian murdered
his sister There was no Jail, and the
Choctaws had no money to hire a guard.
After the Indian judge had sentenced
him to be shot, the former said: Now
you can go free until your execution day.
Then | want you to come without being
told. If you fail to obey it will disgrace
your family The Indian gave his
promise and appeared at the appointed
time Ever since then it has been the
custom to allow condemned Indians to
run loose. Never but once has a prison
er failed to come freely and alone to his
execution. The number of Indians thus
shot within the last half-century is over
one hundred.--Leslie's Weekly.

Some Famous Newspaper Scoops.

One of the most potent factors III bring
ing about the present trial of Capt. Drey-
fuS at RenneS was the startling publlca-
ton of all the evidence given before the
Cour de Cessation by lie Figaro. Ac-
cording to newspaper parlance, this was
scoop" of the first. magnitude, and
well worth the perfunctOry fine which
was levied upon the publishers of the
Figaro for their so-called indiscretion.
How the news leaked out in this case
has not as yet been divulged. Sooner or
later the secret is bound to become known
within French newspaper circles, just as
similar English and American achieve
ments have become the common property
of the editorial profession. One OF the
most famous English scoops is that
which is supposed to have furnished
George Meredith with the plot for his
Diana of the Crossways." III 1915,
when all the agitation was going on over
the corn laws, Sir Robert Peel, then
prime minister, declared that he would
stand fast by them. Yet at the begin
ming of December of that year the Times
created sensation by declaring that the
government was about to bring in bill
for their repeal. Every body was as
founded, and the feeling generally was
that the statement was not true, and
that the Times had been had" Yet
the accuracy Of the report was very soon
established, and then the question arose
as do how the Times had found out.
Few people ever knew. The night be-
fore the Times made it's announcement,
cabinet council was held, and it was
then actually decided to take the mo-
mentous step. When the members of the
government separated, one of them, Sid
hey Herbert, went to dine with a Mrs
Norton a lady well known in society
The combination OF good dinner, ex-
cellent wine and feminine beauty result
ed in Mr.. Herbert indiscreetly letting
the secret slip from his lips. His com
panion made no remark, but as sooa as
opportunity afforded she got in her car
the news. Five hundred pounds was the
price demanded, and it was paid.-Col-

John Van Buren's Repartee.

Once when John Van Buren,, son Of
President Van Buren,. was making a
speech in behalf of his father, an old
Democrat rose in the audience and up
braided him as Dolter. Few men were
more effective on the stump or quicker
at repartee than John, and he replied. to
the charge with an anecdote something
like this: Zone day a man on horseback
came up with boy who was contcnding
with an overturned load Of hay. Instead
of tossing the hay back in the wagon. the
boy was energetically tossing 1t hither
and thither, regardless of where it land
ed The traveller halted and said: My
young friend, why do you work so furi-
ously this hot weather? Why do you
not toss the hay back in the wagon and
be more deliberate in your labors?" The
boy stopped, wiped the streaming per-
spiration off his face on his shirt-sleeve,
and pointing to the pile of hay on the
roadside, exclaimed: Stranger, dads un-
der thar, and then he set about to work
more furiously than ever"

from the Coming Worlds Fair.
The caterers of Paris are in state of
agitation. 1t is not ''the affair" that
moves them, but the approach of the day
when the contracts for places of refresh
ment in the exhibition of 1900 will he
decided
In 1889, according to a writer in the
Matin, who revels in exhibition statis-
tics, the contractors who secured con-
cessions for the eighty-six restaurants,
cafes and brasseries paid the authorities
IN the shape of rent upward of 1900 900
francs. One of these cOncessionaires,
after covering all expenses, cleared l.
100000 francs. Next year much greater
things are expected. In 1889 $4,000, 900
visitors came to Paris; next year more
than double that number will, it is es-
timated, come to the exhibition. If this
hope be realized, the gain to Paris will
be enormous The visitors to the last
exhibition, it is said, left behind them in
Paris 1,25O, 100000 francs, or 100000.
600. The receipts of the railways in
creased by 100000 francs. the income
of the postoffice by 100000 and the
Paris octroi duties by 100000. Fur
Their, the takings of the theaters were
augmented to the extent of so per cent.
\ These figures do not of course indicate
anything like the whole gain to France
from the exhibition of 1889 But they
certainly give an idea of the widespread
interests which have everything to gain
from peace and tranquility in 1900.

IR. JOSH SlMPKINS ON ETIQUETTE
I've studied up on etiquette,
Read every book that / could get,
And yet
There isn't one in all the lot
That tells Teller it is not
De rigger to eat pie
For breakfast, hence why shouldn' It j:
And, furthermore, cannot find
In all the books l call to mind
A single line
That gives q reason worth whoop
Against second plate of soup
When fellers dine
And as for eating marrowfats
Without a spoon, / think that that
A fool
ish sort of rule.
When / eat pease
Eli do as l darn please!
And what is more, till I'm a snob
I'll eat my corn straight off the Co.'s
And sparrergrass I'll eat as
Have always done In days gone by
A sort Of dangling from the sky;
A sort of gift from heaven come,
Held twiYt nay finger and my thumb.
And as for those peculiar things
Called finger bowls, / vow, by jings.
l will not use 'em as they say
The bon-tons uses 'em today
If my hands amt both good and clean,
The pump is where it's always been;
And far as ever / could see,
It's plenty good enough for me.

But yet
I'm too polite to wash my paws
At table spite of social laws.

The Queens Wealth.

We have often heard that the Queen of
England is an exceedingly rich woman,
but few people are really aware OF the
enormous wealth she possesses. Its fun
amount Will never be known, for the
wills CT royal personages are not dis
closed. AS mere items of her present
income, however, may be mentioned the
yearly sum of 100000 which parliament
allotted to her spouse, Prince Albert, and
death as the widow of that Densloned
parsonage. Her mother, the late Ouch
ess of Kent. left her ES0c9 year. Thus
nearly two hundred thousand annual dol
lars go to swell her private purse, wholly
outside of her royal revenues, which no.
body mentions in any exact terms, and
OF whose real amount nobody save GER
tain reticent officials are perhaps aware.
Individuals, it is we'll known, have on
several occasions beoueathed the Queen
large fortunes. Her property ia jewels
alone IS something prodigious. Her gold
plate. stored at Windsor Castle and
brought to London for use at court fes-
tlvltles at Buckingham palace, is of vast
value. 1t chiefly consists of dishes, flag
ons. stands and shields. and has been
accumulated, through many past genera
tons, by the monarchs who preceded
her. Other treasures in the way Of fur
mture, apparel, household ornaments,
tapestries, rugs, carriages, horses, etc,
would reach huge sums it reduced to
pounds, shillings and pence. Unless
am greatly in error, all the royal palaces
are exempt from taxation, and the state
defrays the huge expenses of maintaining
each. 1t is now and then affirmed, and
not without truth, that a President of the
United States has more power than the
Queen of England. But his yearly &c.
COO make a piteous showing beside that
copious stream of gold which pours con-
tinuously into the Golfers Of Windsor
And when one thinks of the 100000
per annum given the Prince of Wales,
and the smaller yet regal incomes dis
tributed among his brothers and sisters.
one realizes the tremendous financial
benefits which royalty obtains in one of
the richest nations of the world.-Edgar
Fawcett in Golfers Weekly.
