OF the conditions OF the will. the loco is
to revert to her grandson, Seth ]. Raynor,

HELEN GOULD HOPEFUL.
StiIl Working In the Crusade Againat
Roberts.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s-Miss Helen
Gould has written the following letter to
the Rev. John Strong, President of the
League for Society Service:
Lyndhurst. Irvington-on Hudson, \. Y
Dear Sir: Your letter OF the 4th is at hand. to-
getheT with letters on the same subject received
from Others. 1t is very inspiring to note the en-
.thusiasIn with which men and women in different
parts Of the country taking up the movement
against having 4 with three wives retain
seat in Congress, although it is not surprising.
for / think our people, AZ q rule have high
ideal of home life. The necessity for concentrated
action is great in order that the members of Con-
gress may realize there is strong sentiment back
of them. and hope the endeavor to spread every
where in our country knowledge Of the true condi-
tions existing in Utah will be successful for then
nearly everyone will be willing to lend his or her
influence toward the expulsion Of Roberts and to-
ward having amendment to the Constitution
directed against the practice of polygamy. Surely
it would be a lasting stain on the honor of
country TO allow polygamist to remain in
Congress, and such position would give him the
opportunity to do even more harm than at pres
ent have joined the movement only at the
eleventh hour. l know, but am determined TO
use what little influence I may have to aid a
cause that means much for the general well
fare. Very truly,

Ashore Near Cape York.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 16-The steamer
Alpha brings news from Cape Nome that
at least seven men have lost their lives
while stampeding to- the new gold fields
at Cape York. An Indian brought news to
Cape Nome that several bodies were wash
ed upon the shore little south OF Cape

rounding high promontory. They chose
the sea beach rather than go miles around,
and the incoming tide engulfed them.
The whaling bark Alexander sailed close
in shore from Cape Prince Of Wales to
Cape Nome. Her captain reports that nu-
merous parties Of gold hunters were max
ing their way to Cape York in frail schoOn-
ers and even in rowboats. Terrible storms
were raging even then. and he feels GER
tain that many Of the prospectors have
perished.

TRACING COUNTERFEITS.
The Lancaster Bogus Stamps Got Iuto
Sohuyllil County,


The Internal Revenue Department is run
ming down the counterfeit cigar revenue
stamps, the product of the Philadelphia
Lancaster gang of counterfeiters with uu-
abated vigor. Thousands have been located
in all parts of the country. and there is quite
supply iu this county. The revenue
officers have seized from $4,000 to 30 900 in
Schuylhill. several hundred having been
located in this town.
Contrary to the general belief, the cigars
bearing the bogus stamps are not confscated
at once. Wherever they are located the stock
is detained and the holders can make settle
ment with the government by paying the full
revenue fee and a nominal fine. People who
attempt to secret the bogus article lay them
selves open to a heavy penalty, and possibly
imprisonment. Dealers who show a dispose
tiou to help the officers are given the benefit
Of light, or nominal, fine.
The counterfeit stamps are on boxes of
ffties only. The distinguishing features of
the bogus and genuine stamps are simple.
The paper of the former is much darker than
that of the latter, but the letters on them are
lighter, and the figures in the letters, instead
of being well defined five-pointed stars, are
really only dots. Another irregular feature
Of the bogus stamp is that the lock of hair
on the figure of the man is much more dis
cernible than it is on the genuine stamp.

The clergy of Mahsnoy City were success
ful in their opposition 10 the proposed boxing
contest between Jack Boner, of Summit
Hill, and Dick Moore, of Long Island, which
was billed to come off this evening. The
clergy appealed TO court and to the Sheriff.
and as a result the managers of the contest
have transferred their operation to that seat
of culture, known by the name of Pottsville.
IL is billed for Friday evening, and will
likely come off without interference from
the authorities of that town.
