A HERO OF THE NINE.
He Risked His Life to Save That of q
Fellow Workman


Heller Franklin, young man en-
| ployed at the Clear Greek mine, is as
much Il hero as any man who ever
braved death on the battlefield Frank
lin sought not glory, but to save n hui
man life. There was a fire in the mine.
The men We're called out Then they
were about to shut off the air in order
to stop the flames, when it was learned
that lone miner was working deep in
the mine beyond the point where the
fire started and was then raging with
growing strength. Here is the story
Of the subsequent events:
Foreman Thomas Immediately called
for volunteers to go with him into the
mine to rescue the man. Several at
tempts were made by different ones,
but they were driven back by the
flames, and the cry Of "Powderw
caused Il hasty retreat.
Finally Hebcr Franklin. a young man
whose work keeps him on the outside,
said. Il will 60" And accompanying
Foreman Thomas he pressed on
through the fire and found the man
working away tamping hole, entire
ly unc0nS~l;s of the danger threaten
ing him. They succeeded in getting
out of the mine safely. when the fan
was shut off and the dip closed up.
The rescue was an act Of great bravery
on the part of Franklin, as his work
kept him on the outside and he was
unacquaintcd with the exact lay of the
land inside, and the danger of suffoca
zion from black damp was great. He
was the only man of the many stand
ing by whose nerve did not desert him.
1t is stated upon good authority that
ten minutes more Of lost time would
have resulted in the death of the miner
who was at work and possibly great
loss to the company, as the supply of
air could not be cut off while there was
any hope of rescue, and this would
have tended to feed the tlames.-Salt

WASt1lNGTON'S LAST YEARS.
His Happy Life With His Wife at
Mount Vernon.

AT the time of his retirement to
his term AS president, 1.-THE tall figure
Of Washington was only slightly bent
and he was still supposed to weigh up
ward Of 200 pounds" writes William
Perrine of "'rhe Last Years of Wash
ingtons Life" in The Ladies' Home
Journal.
"EXcepting his gray hair and his
false teeth and some trouble in hear
ing there was little of the usual ap-
pearance of age in his muscular per-
son. his gait and his strong, peck
marked face. He was affable and
merry with his best friends, but while
he had the true hospitality of a south
ern gentleman in inviting every Wis
itor from Il distance to his table or to Il
bed over night, his politeness was gen
orally formal Yet if he particularly
enjoyed the conversation of a guest he
would pay him the compliment of lis
tening to him until after 8 o'clock. or
even of lighting him with the candle to
a bedroom for the night.
Mrs. Washington at this time was a
healthy, pleasant and transformations
little woman, still showing traces Of
good looks and with seldom any other
thought than of playing respectfully
her role of mistress of the house of a
country gentleman, of caring for the
negroes or Of amusing herself with her
knitting. She had great pride in her
recipe for making cherry bounce,
and on midsummer day she cut out
30 pairs of breeches for the men work
ing on the farm. She had said that
she and the general felt like children
just released from school when he left
the presidency, and she told of her
satisfaction in settling down again to
the duties of an old fashioned Nir
ginia housekeeper steady as a clock,
busy as a bee and cheerful as crick

AN ENGLISH "TREAT."
The Difference Between the British
and American Methods,

l was constantly struck, says Colonel
T. w. Hgginson in The Atlantic, with
the genuine spirit of hospitality among
Englishmen toward americans, as such,
even those with whose pursuits they
might have almost nothing in common,
and for whom they had not the slight
est reason to put themselves out. |
liked this none the less for it's having
its definite limitations as to prcunary
obligations, and the like, including cv-
erything in the nature of "treating,"
all this being in my opinion weak
point in our more gushing or more self
conscious habit.
| remember to have once been taken
by gentleman, on whom | had but
the slightest claim. to the country
house Of another, on whom | had no
claim whatever. The latter was not at
all literary, and had not even the usual
vague English interest in American
affairs Yet he gave up his whole aft
ernoon to drive me to Kenilworth,
which he had seen thousand times.
But that for which liked him best,
anu WHICH ullOIlet HE wholly new
experience, was that as we entered the
outer doorway, he. going first, looked
back over his shoulder and said simply,
"They make you pay threepence for add
mission here" and then added. speak
ing to the attendant, here Is my three
pence"
After all the time and trouble he haSl
given to his stranger guest he left him
to pay his own tlreepence, a thing
which most Americans would not have
dreamed Of doing Ii would have been
the American notion of good breeding
to save guest from expense, as it was
the English impulse to save him from
the sense of obligation. | confess that
prefer the latter method.

PRISONERS ILL TREATED.
Lawton Hears Yorlxtown's Men Are

New York. May 24.-The Journals Manila correspondent says:
 General Lawton, after 30 days of successful campaigning, is resting with 5000 men at Candaba. He said to me in describing his victorious march of a months duration:
 "1t pained me when we got into San Isidro to see on the walls of the prison there the names of the 15 Americans from the Yorktown.
 From Colonel Ray, the Spanish of ficer whom we rescued, learned that one of the American prisoners escaped from his captors. His freedom was short lived, for he was afterward re- captured. He was stretched on the ground before his fellow prisoners and 20 lashes were given to him.
 "'We found letter near San Isidro, written by one of the Yorktown's crew. saying that they were being kicked. that their hair was being pulled out and that they were cruelty treated in vari- ous other ways-vand praying their fel- low countrymen to hurry to their re- lease.
 "'The insurgents make a practice of murdering Chinamen who fall into their hands. and our men, I suppose, should consider themselves fortunate that they have not been similarly treated"

BIG FIRE AT DAWSON.
The Los. Estimated at ons MiIitsp
 Dollars.

Dollars.
 The main portion of Dawson was de. stroyed by fire on April 26, causing a loss of s1, ,00o. .000 In all Ill buildings, including the Bank of British North America, were burned. The news was brought down by l.. 8. Hume. a son Of Mayor Hume of Seattle; J. Toklas and a third party, who left Dawson on April 27 and made sheir way out by canoe to Lake Lebarge and then over the ice. having a most perilous trip. Toklas re- ports that the fire occurred in the very heart of the business center of the city, near the Opera House. on the water front.
 The fire came at a time when the mills and dealers in building materials had depleted their winter supplies and were awaiting the opening of naviga- ton to replenish their stock. The result Is a famine in all kinds of building ma terial and furniture, such as sasheE, doors, locks. hinges. etc. The few arti. cles still remaining outside the burned district have quadrupled in price. Doors are selling for s35 each, door locks N each, and everything else in proportion. Nothing fin the way of rebuilding can be done until the opening of navigation. several weeks from now. as there iH not over 5000 feet of lumber in the place.
 The fire was caused by drunken wo- man upsetting a lamp in a notorious house The heaviest losers by the fire are Messrs, Mcclellan and MoFeeley of this city and of Vancouver, who had an immense stock of iron and tinwsre and miners supplies taken in at heavy ex- pense, and the Bank of British North America, whose rather himsy vault did not withstand the heat. the papers in 1t being destroyed.
 The bank also lost laSge amount of gold dust A rough estimate places the loss in gold and paper money alone at s1, ,000. 900.
 The burned area comprises quite three-quarters of Dawson.
