DEWEY'S AILMENT
Is Not Regarded as Serious by the
Olympia's Surgeon.

Washington, May 25.-Surgeon ]. E.

came ahead of the Olympia to avoid the
long delays of the sail via the Suez canal
DR.. P4ge has been on the flagship ever
since Dewey took command, seeing him
daily and having general charge of med

much nerve as the morning he fought the
battle of Manila bay. He is man who
carries responsibility lightly and does not
let it break him down. On the morning
of the battle he was perfectly cool. and
only once throughout the action did he
show signs of anxiety. That was when
the head gunner reported that our am

Asked if he had prescribed for Dewey
of late, Surgeon Page said:
No. he has no need for prescriptions.
During the last year he has not once
asked for a prescription or taken medical
advice except in a casual way. If he
wants anything he sends down to the
ships apothecary and gets it, His habits
are so regular that he needs little or no
medicine. His smoking and drinking are
in perfect moderation. He eats well and
sleeps well, and it is one of the recog-
niZed offenses aboard ship to tramp
heavily over the admirals cabin after he
has retired.
1T has needed a pretty calm man at the

FIRST WEDDINGIN ALASKA

[F'rom the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Wild and romantic any highland
legend or border story is the account
of the first contract marriage in the in
terror of Alaska, as narrated by Windy
Jim Dodson who was present and wit
messed the unique ceremony.
1t was on the banks of Dali river,
small stream which flows into the Yu-
kon near Fort Hamlin. young man,
ellis by name, accompanied by Agg1e
Dalton, a charming maiden with whom
he was in love, had set out from the
mouth of Dali river TO go across the
mountainous divide into the Koyukuk
valley. AS they started up the hill they
met DodSon, and in the course of the
conversation it developed that the
young couple were anxious to get mar
ried, but in that wilderness there was
small chance of finding either priest or
magistrate to perform the ceremony.
Il know a man who can tie the knot,
said Dodson, land he lives only a few
miles from here. His name is Joe Dur
ant, but everybody knows him by the
nickname of French Joe"
To yearning hearts and youthful vigor
a few miles in that vast solitude was
as nothing, and they were soon at Dur
ants place Dodson went with them as
guide and witness. The spot was one
just fit for such romantic nuptials. 1t
was on a wild mountainous slope, by the
side of a lake, and under the shelter or
a friendly tree whose evergreen
branches defied the chill November
winds.
Durant gladly agreed to perform the
pleasant task, but as he had no law
form or church rituals at hand, he de-
vised a form of his own, and put into
rude rhyme, having the bride and groom
each repeat four lines after him.
The bride repeated the following:
Ten miles from Yukon on the banks of
this lake
For partner to Koyukuk Gillis take,
We have no preacher, we have no ring;
That makes no difference; it's the same
old thing
The grooms part was as follows:
81 swear by my sled pole under this
tree
A husband to Aggie always will be;
I'll love and protect her, this maiden so
frail,
From the sour-dough toughs on the
Koyukuk trail"
Durant then tied the knot as follows:
For two dollars each in chechaco
money
I unite this couple in matrimOny.
He is a rancher and she is a teacher,
I'll do up the job just as well as
preacher

TOO FAST FOR MEXICO.

IFrom Cincinnati Commercial-Tribun
I made the survey for the street car
lines in the City of Mexico said the
civil engineer, land when we got the
tracks down and the cars running we
had a laushable time. Young men of
the first families not only Ventured to
act as drivers and conductors, but in
sisted on taking those places without
wages. The thing was like a new toy
to children. People paid fare or with
held it. just as they saw fit, and some
would ride around for half a day. The
Yankee superintendent of these lines
was in a sweat all the time. but was
kicking against a stone wall. The tracks
were single ones. with switches here
and there for the cars to pass, but such
little things didn't bother the drivers.
Some of them would start the mules
on a dead run and go clear to the end
of the line, and others would pull out
on a switch and go to sleep or indulge
IN games with the passengers. I guess
1t was two months before the drivers
consented to give up their siesta hours.
At u O'Clock precisely the mules were
brought to a halt, no matter where
the car was, and the driver would walk
off to eat, sleep and smoke, and be gone
two hours. No Mexican ever hurries.
Most of the complaints received were
TO the effect that the cars went too
fast Even after we got things some
what SyStematized. Don Pablo Chora,
the president of the road. returned from
a trip one day to say to the manager:
" All, senior but [ am fraid we shall
never get our people to accept this en-
terprise.'
What is wrong now?' was asked.
Why, one of our greatest merchants
paid his fare to be taken to Alameda
in twenty minutes. and loI and behold
the driver cut the time down to fifteenl
We shall be ruined by moving folks
legs of the mules and take the whips
away from the driversi'"

POPE LEO'S DEATH DATE.
[From the London NALL

l.
The pope appears to have recovered
from the serious indisposition which
gave rise to the recent alarming re-
ports. His holiness has never had a
strong constitution.
About his goth year he believed that
he was wasting with phthisis, and wrote
eloquent piece of Latin verse on his
self?''
Then years later, when he was apos-
tolic delegate to Benevento, he came
near dying of a peFnicious fever. 1t
was thought that he was lost.
He was saved by the act, then thought
foolhardy, of DIR. Volpis, physician to
the king of Naples. in plunging him in
to a bath of cold water at the moment
of the most violent attack of the fever.
Leo XIII has not gone out of the vast
Enclosure which surrounds the Vatican
in 20 years, and yet has surpassed the
years of life of Plus TX, who alone of
all the popes had exceeded the years
of Peter.
In the eyes of superstitious Romans
Leo XIII. has performed another mir
acle of longevity. He has escaped a
critical date, one determined by caba-
nstic calculation, which set the end of
his life for the year 1892.
1t is said that his predecessors in this
century, Plus TX, Gregory XVI, Plus
VIII, Plus VII, have obeyed the law
of figures.
Leo XIII. alone has escaped it. and
the same calculation, If it were exact
in his case, would assign him ten years
more of existence, which would make
the pontif surpass even the age Of
Doge Dandolo.

Bradley-Martins Swear Off Per-
sOnal Taxes,
New York Society and America
Generally.
HER FORMER FRIENDS
Far Below London SWelIs, Says
Mrs. Martin.
Objected to the Big Personal
Assessment

New York, May 25.-It can be posi-
lively announced that Mr.. and Mrs
Bradley Martin have turned their backs
upon their old friends, and have left
these shores forever. There have been
all sorts of rumors as to the real in
tentions of the Bradley Martins, but
these were all set to rest the day before
they sailed for Europe, when they APP
peared at the tax office in this city
and swore off both their personal taxes
and their allegiance to the United
States.
President Feitner of the tax board
received the Bradley martins, who were
accompanied by Mrs. Sherman, Mrs.
Bradley Martins mother in the same
office where William Waldorf Astor
made an affidavit that he was a for
eigner.. Mrs. Martin spoke freely of
the reasons which had led the family
to leave the land where the millions she
inherited from her father were made by
selling barrel slaves. She made clear
her belief that the social set in which
she had spent a part of her married
life suffered greatly when compared
with the highest social circle in Eng
land, in which she expected to live and
move.
President Feitner finally said that
Mrs. Martin, her mother and husband
would have to make an affidavit OF
their intention to leave America and
never return to it as a dwelling place
Though they did not like to be compell-
ed to swear to anything, and said that
their word had always been taken
everywhere as the truth, President
Feitner read from the statute and con-
WINGED them that if they wanted to eS-
cape paying personal taxes here they
would have to take a big oath and sign
a paper stamped with a big seal.
After the official ceremony was over
and there was no chance of the Bradley
Martins escaping from the solemn COM
pact which made them foreigners, they
shook President Feitner warmly by the
hand and invited him to drop in and
see them when in London.
The personal property of the Bradley
Martins and Mrs. Sherman has been
taxed for years at SO. 0O0. 900, and it is
said that one reason for the removal to
London was that their assessment on
their real and personal property had
been raised $1,OOO,00O. They paid $780,
900 taxes.

WOMEN CORNER BURGLAR.
Adopted Ruse to Hold Him Until
officer Arrived.

Binghamton, N. Y, May 25.-Two
women who would faint at the sight of
a mouse have cornered a burglar and
landed him in jail Mrs. Thomas Per-
tell and her daughter, Mamie, were
alone in their country home on Tarpell
Hill, near this city. Shortly after mid
night Miss Pertell was aroused by the
sound of some one moving about her
room. In the dim light she could see
the figure of a man, but she did not
scream. AS she arose from the bed he
vanished behind a pair of curtains.
Going to her mothers room the girl
said she was unable to sleep, and, af-
ter getting a drink, would sit up awhile.
Then, in a low voice, she hurriedly told
of the burglar. Mrs. Pertell took mat
tiers cOo1ly, and hastily dressing went
from a rear door to the home of Officer
SpierS. ArouSing him, she returned,
and the two women talked in ordinary
tones until he came. He found the
burglar hidden behind the portieres-
The man said he was Stanley Bios
som, and that he was in search of Miss
PertelFs diamonds. He was taken be-
fore Justice Scott and held to await the
action of the grand jury.

MACHINE TO WIN MILLIONS
Prominent Men Submit Scheme to
Beat Wall Street.

New York. May 25.-Trading in Wall
street by machinery is seriously pro-
posed by the American Commercial cor
poration of 141 Broadway. Maurice L.
Muhleman, deputy assistant treasurer
of the United States, is president OF the
corporations; J. N. Huston, treasurer of
the United States during Harrison's
administration, is treasurer; and Fran
els H. Baldwin, "a young man recently
graduated from the Sheffield Sclentlhc
school, is secretary.
The officers of the company, whose
machine is to turn paupers into mil
liOnaires, are so confident that they
have great fortunes in their grasp that
they are sending circulars to all parts
of the United States from their hand
somely appointed offices in the Wash
ingtOn Life Building.
In red ink at the top of the prospectus
is a finger pointing to the word conf
dential.' The prospectus tells how, by
following the system, more than 80 per
cent can be made on each investment.
1T has been found continues the cir
cular, that there is a law underlying
the f1uctuation of values, akin to the
great laws of gravitation. evolution,
electricity, and molecular motion. 1t is
an expression of the law of supply and
demand, and is so pronounced and rigid
in its application that it has been pos
sible to embody it in metal, in which
form the principle must be automatic
and uniform in it's action.
statistics show that in dealing with
the phenomena of changing values, hu-
man judgment is more than 80 per cent
wrong. The system eliminates human
frailties, and its conclusions are right in
the majority of cases.
1T must be clearly understood, how
ever, that transactions based upon this
principle and system do not always
show a profit: what is asserted is that
a majority of transactions always are
in its favor, and this claim is attested
by report on the same, made after
most thorough examination and ex-
haustive tests by the Stevens Institute
of Technology, HobOken, N. j.
1t is claimed that while being tested
the machine earned, exclusive of broker
age commissions, 25212 per cent on ten
active stocks in one year.
In letters sent out by Mr.. Huston,
signed by him, occurs the following:
Many have heretofore claimed to
have systems that would enable them to
anticipate the rise and fall in values,
but all such, so far as the writer knows,
were dependent upon human judgment
and it's ever attendant frailties in their
operation; while the system we have is
made operative through a metal ma
chine, wherein the judgment of the op-
orator can exert no influence; it is auto
matte in it's action, and not subject to
naniDulatiOn

WIFE OF FIGHTING FRED.

(From the Philadelphia Record)
Mrs Frederick Funston. who is with her
husband in the Philippines, has been his
wife but few months. Last year. while
the Twentieth Kansas was at Camp Mer-
Ram, near San Francisco, Miss Edna
Blankard of Oakland visited the camp
with her father, who soldier dur
ing the civil war. She was introduced to
him, and he: apparently as hard a fighter
IN love as in war, WOOed and won her.
Three weeks later they were married. and
she accompanied her husband to Manila.
Most of the Manila letters that have
been received by General Funston's pa
rents. who are both living in Allen coIln-
~, Kansas. were written by the hero's
bride. Never did old Jesse Grant take
more delight in the larger triumphs of
his soldier son than does Congressman
Funston in the Philippine exploits of his
daring and darling Fred. Mrs. Funston.
