rrNGLE's OPINION OF ponourrSE.
Thinks it Hydraulic Diggings-South-
eastern Alaska is Or artz

George r. Tingle, former special
agent OF the government in charge of
the seal islands in Bering Sea, has re-
turned from an extended tour of South
eastern Alaska, including a visit to the
American Porcupine district. Il saw"
Mr. Jingle said, some twenty mines
being actively developed in Porcupine,
and the men seemed determined to stay
with them. That is, they appeared to
be getting fair returns. The Porclpine
camp, though, to my notion, is essen
TALLY hydraulic digging. OF course,
they are taking out gold by the old
placer methods, but hydraulic machn-
cry will make the properties pay hand
somely, once the machinery is in there,
for it is a hard place to reach.
Mckinley and Porcupine appear to
be the best creeks, though develop
ment may prove others just as rich.
But it is the quartz mines of South
eastern Alaska that will make Seattle
grow in the next five or ten years as
she has never grown before. That
whole section seems to be one great
mass of quartz. The mining capitalists
OF the country have started in to devel-
OPP Southeastern Alaska. and Seattle
cannot help but reap incalculable ben
efts."

NEWS OF THE CAMP.
There was large number of visitors
at Camp Birch" yesterday, where the
Linsly Cadets are encamDed for the
week. They were, for the most part,
either parents or relatives of the boys.
The state of affairs existing at the
camp are the best During the three
days there has been no vestige OF i'll
ness, not even so much as cold.
The department of the battalion has
been of the highest standard OF course,
there is more or less mischief. but
none so serious as to warrant the Of
tenders being sentenced to the guard
house. Some unknown cadet yester-
day morning, feeling the ravenous
pangs OF hunger coming rapidly on,
turned the clock used by the officer
of the day an hour forward The re
suit was that the dinner formation was
sounded at 1850 instead of 11:55
O'Clock. The battalion was marched
to dinner. but the cooks clock showed
that it was only IL o'clock. so the
battalion was dismissed again. The
guilty cadet was not found out.
Every morning after reveille each ca
Oct is obliged to bring both his bed
ding and cot into the sun outside the
living tents, where they are aired all
day long.
In target practice the cadets, as
whole have made some excellent
scores, when the fact that most OF
them never shot a rife before is con-
sidered. The records made Tuesday
were knocked sky high. The target
is the regulation feet square, 100
yards away target, with 12-inch bulls
eye. There are three squads OF shoot
ers picked from the Senior, Junior and
Sophomore classes. On one side OF
the target, persons are warned from
the range by sentry, on the other
side red flag is set up.
1t is very interesting to watch the
squads at practice. Of course, they
are under the direction of Lieut.. Dent.
Each man has five rounds OF ammunl-
ton. the highest score he can make
being 25. After each man shoots, the
marker runs from his station out OF
range and examines the target, after
which he wig-wags the score back to
the scorer, who is stationed behind the
firing squad.
The results of Tuesdays and yester-
days practice were as follows:

Among the visitors at the camp yes
terday were Prof. Churchill, Master OF
Chemistry; Prof Leo Brilles. Master
OF Mathematics, and lower English
branches, and Prof. Hill, Master Of
Latin and Greek. Both Prof. Hill and
Prof. Churchill are new men on the
faculty.
Yesterday with appropriate ceremo-
MES the camp was christened Camp
Birch" in honor of the former presi-
ident of the school.
The new recruits are drilled twice a
day and show marked Improvement.
Before the return is made to the city
they will rank almost, if not quite, as
high as the old students in that de-
partment.

Americas foremost legitimate theatrical
organization, headed by the three eminent
artists, Louis James, Kathryn Kidder and
Charles B. Hanford, three brilliant stars,
surrounded by veritable constellation of
talent, is the extraordinary attraction
which will be seen at the Opera House
on Saturday next, matinee and night in an
elaborate and complete scenic production
of THE Winters Tale and 1.-The School
for Scandal" These plays will introduce
each of the stars in effective roles, and will
give the public an excellent opportunity to
witness the result of their combined ef-
forts, as well as to estimate the unusual
strength of the supporting company and TO
study the details of handsome stage pro-
duction The Importance of this engage
ment is quite sufficient to make 1T the big
gest event of the theatrical year in this
city. Each of the principals has been suf-
fcent to fill the theatre, and in combina-
ton they should be irresistible. Messrs.
Wagenhals and Kemper have been prodi-
gal in their expenditure in the matter of
scenery and costumes.

The best evidence of the true worth of
theatrical attraction of any kind is its
money drawing power His Better Half, =
wrich has lately begun its first year, shows
a steady increase in the nightly receipts.
The advice given us through the press
speaks of this company in terms of the
highest pratze. From the formal ton of its
members TO the general ensemble and the
character of the music, songs and spec
ialties, not one dissenting voice is heard.
This in itself is a remarkable achievement
considering the great number of farce COM
edy companies that have made the demand
for fun makers so great. It's forthcoming
engagement at the Grand the first half Of
next week will, no, doubt reach the same
limit of perfection and financial results, as
its admirers are already speaking for seats.

The ant Is pattern of industry and

outraged the laws Of hospitality and

fancy the careful, prim, narrow little
householder, with an odious air OF yir-
tue, freezing out the improvident sup
plant. Thrift for its own sake Is not
virtue, though may be prudence. II
we garner up the grain, 1t should be
that we may scatter 1t again to bring
forth good harvest. And II any man,
even the thriftless, come to US be-

ask, after the fable, why did you not
treasure up food during the summer"
1t Is a gray day indeed which has in

CHAPTER VII

When the door closed upon Mar

Martineau walked up to it and turned
the key in the lock. Then he went
back to the table, sank down in the

Of all men in the world!" he said
aloud. Talk of poetical justice-talk
of the irony of fate! Ye gods, that
she should come to me for her rights"
There was pause. He went to the
window and gazed blankly out, then
struck the woodwork with force that
shook 1t.
II can't do it," he muttered between
his clenched teeth-"no man could do
it! But I'll have my revenge on him."
he cried, with a sudden inspiration.
and, darting back to the desk, he
seized pen and began to write:
Sir-Three years and six months
ago, when I was a penniless adven-
turer, you tempted me, and fell. 1t
may be as we'll that l recall to your
mind the exact terms Of the conspir-
icy. You informed me that you had
niece-orphan daughter of your only
sister. This child was heiress to an
enormous fortune, and you were her
sole guardian. By the terms OF her
fathers will you were to have entire
control over her during her minority,
and II she married against your wish
before she attained the age of 81, the
whole Of her money came to you. Your
suggestion to me was that I should
go through the form Of marriage with
your niece, apparently without your
sanction, in order to enable you to
claim the money due to you in that
case. You represented to me that
your niece was mad-hopelessly out Of
her mind-and that on that account
should do her no harm by going
through this form, as nobody else
would ever be likely to marry her.
There could be. you represented, no
difficulty in the matter, as the young
lady in question was to all appearance
quite sane and perfectly docile and
submissive. At the church door my
part of the contract was to cease.

ture; all had to do was to go through
the marriage ceremony. For this SER

SERUM FROM SERPENTS
Said to Be An Absolute Cure for Hitherto
Incurable Leprosy.

Said to Be An Absolute Cure for Hitherto
Incurable Leprosy.
New Orleans Special to New York
Tribune: DR.. Isidore Dyar, we'll
known physician and an expert on
leprosy, has reached some remarkable
results regarding that terrible disease
and has effected two positive cures.
The antidote to the leprous poison DR..
Dyar found in a serum compounded
by DR.. Calmette, a French chemist.
The serum was made by the French
man from the venom of serpents and
was designed solely as cure for snake
poison, which it did accomplish. The
serum Is now in wide use in India. DR..
Dyar visited DR.. Calmettes laboratory
in Paris, and brought away some OF
the serum, having even then a vague
clew to his recent discovery. 1t ap-
pears that among the traditions of the
leper colony in Louisiana was one that
several lepers who had been bitten by
venomous snakes were cured. DR..
Dyar applied the serum to five cases OF
leprosy in New Orleans, and In two of
the cases absolute cures were effected.
In two other cases there was a marked
improvement, and the cases were lost
sight of, so that the final result was
not known. In the fifth case the mans
system proved repellent to the poison,
and the change was for the worse rath-
er than the better. DR.. Dyar has been
consulted, it is reported, by the United
States government as to the establish
ment on one of the Sandwich islands
of a national leper hospital, to which
all the lepers of Louisiana and other
states will be sent.
