BURNS AND MCLAUGHLIN ARE
INDIGNANT.

Governor Henry T. Gage has decided
to appoint M. H. de Young the official
representative and Commissioner from
California to the Paris Exposition.
This announcement will be a surprise
to many and disappointment to some,
as the honor was eagerly sought. 1t
has been the ambition of Mr.. de Young
to attend the Paris Exposition in an Of
fetal capacity. He is we'll informed in
the duties of a commissioner and
sought first to represent the United
States Government at the great expo
sition. The appointment of George w.
Peck of Chicago to that important post
by President Mckinley shattered, how
ever, the hopes of Mr.. de Young in that
direction. He will therefore accept the
more modest but still distinguished po-
sition of representative for California.
1t is perhaps matter of local inter
est that the chief rival of Mr.. de Young
for the place he will receive was Col
onel Henry I. Kowalsky, who, in hope
full expectancy, lowered as gracefully
as his avoirdupois would permit around
the gubernatorial presence. The Gov
ernor was not impressed, however, with
the Kowalsky hoverings and the col
onel returned with neither hope nor
promise from Sacramento. The prize
was for De Young.
The affair was all settled on Friday
afternoon Governor Gage and De
Young met in conference and remained
in earnest discussion for something
over an hour and half. The news of
the unexpected meeting was not slow
in travelling 1t was not long in reach
ing the ears of Colonel Dan Burns and
his faithful attendant Major Frank Nc
Laughlin. The colonel was Mortified
and in duty bound the major was
shocked The colonel swore and the
major took his cue. The colonel gave

SHE WILL SOON BE WITH GRAU
FAVoRS HEAVY ROLES IN WAC
MERRIAM OPERA.

When operate queens and fmpresarlos
meet, one with a grievance and the other
with a determination to conquer, some
thing generally happens. Charles T. Ellis,
proprietor of the opera company which
bears his name. and Nine. Gadski, the
German prima donna, have clashed under
those conditions, and now Gadski Is hap
py and Ellis is sad. Next season the Ger
man diva will not be found with Ellis,
although he had a contract with her that
called for the operaticr season of 1S9S-99.
The differences that arose between the
parties resolved itself into a matter of
type Melba, great and only, was starred.
She was the one bright luminary of the
Ellis operatic constellation. according to
the Gadski version of affairs. Whenever
her name appeared in print it was In type
at least a half-inch deeper and two
shades bIacker than that of Gadski, and
therefore the prima donna grieved and
was sad. But all this could be borne and
endured, though it was tantalizing in the
extreme The final stroke came with the
first performance of Aida" in this city
That was Gadskfs role and she shone for
ing what many considered the success of
the season in this city. After this Cad
ski became jealous OF her own fame and
with an offer from Grau dangling above
her head she began to make it unpleasant
for Ellis.
A few nights ago the meeting between
now her release with the reservation on
the part of Ellis that he may bid for her
services next year. In reality Gadski has
signed with Grau for the London season,
which begins on May 10 and ends July
8. Grau, with the strongest operate com
pany in this country will star Gadski in
heavy German roles. The real reason of
Gadskis contretemps with Ellis seems
hinged on an offer from Grau for next
season. The small and shadowy colored
type merely accentuated Gadski'S con-
firmed belief that she was not receiving
the full measure of her worth.
Mime. Gadsk was rendered a reception
and banquet last evening at the home of
William Wolff, the commission merchant,
1872 Washington street A number of the
prominent Germans of the city were pres
ent to meet the singer.
When Nine. Gadski came to San Fran
cisco she voluntarily offered to give con-
cert for the benefit of some German or
ganization. 1t was decided that the con-
cert should be held some time this week
and the proceeds were to be devoted to
the use of the Goethe-Schiller Monument
Association.
Owing to the fact that Nine. Gadski
is compelled to leave the city to-day the
arrangements for the proposed concert
had to be abandoned, but to show the ap-
probation her countrymen had for the
kind offer made by Nine. Gadski SKI

expression to several words not found
in a dictionary, and the major looked
around for a cuspidor.
The Governor had thrown them
down. He had gone deliberately into
the camp of the enemy to award ms
gubernatorial favors. The colonel feels
as though he possesses a proprietary
interest in the Governor, at whose ac-
ton he felt hurt. In Difference to the
colonel the major expressed a sense OF
injury. although he said, with charac-
teristic emphasis, that he will follow
Mr.. de Young wherever he goes, even
to Paris. The appointment of Mr. de
Young may be therefore the means or
satisfying the majors ambition at
least one of them.
The anger of Dan Burns and the
sympathetic horror of Mclaughlin at
the action of Governor Gage in decid-
ing to honor De Young are connected
with some recent and very interesting
political history. It will be remembered
that De Young was a candidate for
the United States Senatorship. 1t was
understood that in his candidacy he
had the support of the Southern "a
cific Company and through that cor
DOrdClOn the SUppOIL VI Ian A'NAA 49,
No secret was made of the fact that the
Mexican was heartily in support OF De
Young for Senator. That allegiance
was honestly given by the colonel as
long as the railroad people commanded
him to give it.
When the proper time came the rail
road people withdrew their support Oh
De Young and Burns naturally desert
ed him. Without a word of consulta-
ton with De Young Burns set himself
up as a candidate for United States
Senator and De Young opened his box
of hammers. What followed is politi-
cal history Burns chafed under the,
attack of De Young and vowed all sorts
of vengeance That is habit OF the
coloneIs, and in view of recent events
at the capital is perhaps pardonable.
The colonel swOre that as long as he
possessed a vestige of political inf1u-
ence De Young would be punished
And now at the very close of the SEN
sational Senatorial campaign at Sac
ramento De Young receives a marked
honor from Governor Gage. 1t is the
fixed conviction of the colonel. and
naturally of the major, that Governor
Gage has played fast and loose with
their affections and has delivered them
over to be the sport and the playthlngs

How Uncle Sam does Things.

A singular incident in the mail SER
vice has just come to light at the
UnIontown office, which shows con-
clusively that Uncle Sam takes better
care of his subjects letters than he
does of many other things. In March,
1898, William Hunt sent money or
der in a properly directed letter to
Meridian, Miss. The letter did
not arrive at its destination at the
proper time, so duplicate money or
der was sent. After short time the
matter was dismissed and it was sup
posed the letter had entirely disap-
peared. Last week, however, the
letter and money order turned up at
the Uniontown office, after long
journey over the country.

A DeplOrable Case.

A pitiful case confronted the police
authorities last evening. A man who
gave his name as McCloud and said
he was journeying from Athens, o.,
to Morgantown called at police head
quarters with five children, all of
whom were young, the youngest being
a two-months-old baby, which the
father carried in his arms. The child
rem were motherless, their mother
having died a week ago. The child
rem were given supper at the Rescue
home and later taken to the home Of
Humane Agent Echols. Provision
for their transportation to Morgan
town will be made to-day. The faith
er said neither he nor his children
had eaten bite of food since yester-
day.-Wheeling Intelligencer.

Wonderful Stories Of the Alaskan
Gold Fields are False.


/ Wonderful Stories Of the Alaskan
Gold Fields are False.
i A Nirginian who has just returned
j from the Klondike was recently in
Parkersburg and he gave an account
of his experience that is anything but
rosy. The Sentinel says:
j, W. Johnson OF Loudoun county,
Virginia, who was here Wednesday
between trains leaving for home over
the B. & @. on the evening train has
just returned from three years stay
in the Alaskan gold fields, and he
paints horrible picture of suffering
among the deluded gold hunters,
hundreds of whom are dying OF hum
ger and exposure. He says he will
make an affidavit to everything he
states.
Johnson told the Sentinel that he
and jim Forsythe Of Sistersyille join
ed party at Seattle three years ago
and set out on their perilous trip
Forsythe had 81, 900 in cash and all
the others were pretty well equipped
with funds and stores. The rosy re-
ports of fabulous wealth that had
lured them on proved to be without
foundation and when he and Forsythe
reached Seattle on the return trip a
few days ago the former had to- tele-
graph friends TO furnish him money
to get home on. johnson was little
better fixed, as he sold his dogs be-
fore leaving Alaska and had enough
remaining to get home on. There
were over 700 people returned to the
states on the same steamer with John
son and the Seattle papers stated that
every man brought back fortunes
varying from 81, 500 to $3.50, 600 while
the fact was that only a few had any
dust while the others were glad 10
get back alive The newspapers of
the coast cities are not to be credited,
as they do not publish the facts as
they exist.
johnson gave detailed account of
his trip: of the visits to the various
finds only to learn that reports were
exaggerated. The tales of fabulous
fortunes that were being picked up
of miners in the remote districts are
on the verge of starvation as it is inn
possible to get supplies and in some
instances, even if supplies were avail
able the men had no money to pur-
chase with. "a hungry man will eat
anything" says Johnson. 81 have
seen them kill and eat their dogs, and

tricts will be driven to cannibalism

People in the states have no idea of
the intense suffering that exists in
