AN EASTER SKETCH.

II was Easter morn. The sun flooded
the sky with gold. There was glory 10

cathedral swung to and fro and naughty

marble floors in attitude of worship.
The high altar was ablaze with white
lilies. They were shining in every cor
ner. Their cleaning cups caught the
ruby wine OF the sunshine as it filtered
through the colored windows and there
was glory 10 the room like thpt OF old
when angels had been 10 the temple.

ADRIFT FOR SIXTY HOURS.

SEATTLE, Aug. 17.-Jacob Huneker Of
Mansfield. Ohio, who arrived here last
night from ST. Michael, Alaska, had a ter
rible experience on Hoodum Inlet, Kotze-
bue Sound. He was shipwrecked, and for
sixty hours was adrift in a water4logged
boat without any assistance whatever and
without a bite to eat.
Huneker and two passengers sailed for
the Kotzebue country over a year ago.
About the middle of July party of SIX
teen men left the Episcopal mission, near
Point Hope, and coasted along the shore.
heading for the Kowak River country.
After being out short time a storm
came up and fifteen of the boats-those
with the sails up-were quickly blown
ashore. Huneker's boat, being without
sails, made slow passage, and the fury of
the storm soon became SUCH that he found
himself unable to get to shore. In spite
of his best efforts he soon was drifting
helplessly about in the inlet.
The second morning his boat capsized.
He succeeded in righting it, and for sew
eral hours Huneker remained on his knees
in the stern of the boat, with only his head
above water. When the storm ahated
Huneker reached shore. He was found a
few hours later asleep by passing pros
pectors, who by careful nursing restored
him to health

concern east of California, and one of the
most Influential and respected citizens of
the State, was brought to this city to-day
by United States Marshal Bohle, who had
arrested him on the charge of defrauding
the Government by making and dspos-
ing of brandy on which the revenue tax
had not been paid.
The arrest was made at Hermann at mid
night and the immense distillery, wine
cellars and plant, valued at $3.50 900. were
seized by deputy of the United States
Internal Revenue Department. 1t is not
vet known by the Government officials
how much was realized by the alleged
sale of brandy on which the tax was not
paid.
Mr.. Starck said: "I know absolutely
nothing of the rectiffer which has caused
all the trouble. We have been rectifying
but three years, and my son attended to
that end of the business altogether. 1 had
no idea there was any trouble until l

such attempt.

INGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
Aug. 17.-Major General Brooke has
sent to the War Department a report
of the arrest near Santiago de Cuba
yesterday of General Jose Guerrero and
twenty-nine others charged with or
ganizing a filibustering expedition to
go to Santo Domingo. No instructions
have yet been sent to him regarding
the disposition to be made of the men
who have been arrested and there is
some uncertainty among officials as TO
just how far the neutrality laws of the
United States can be applied to the
offenses committed in Cuba.
1t seems very certain that the text
of the American law has no force in
that island so long as 1t is held as at
present, in trust for the Cubans, but
under the we'll established principles
of international law this Government
could be held responsible for the acts
of any hostile expedition organized in
Cuba or making that island the base
of its operations. Such government as
the United States exercises in the ISL
and Is military government in which
the will of commander in chief is su-

SHALL THE CLERGY

SAN JOSE. Aug. 1.-THE Santa Clara
County Medical Society is seriously
considering the advisability of charging
the clergy full rates for medical services

prevailing custom now is to give minis
ters and their families liberal reduction
on doctor bills. generally about % per

at meeting of the doctors last night and
had any of the reverend gentlemen been
present their ears would tingle for months

The topic, us it dignified or just for
the medical profession to furnish gratui-

families?' brought up the question. All
those present were opposed and some
spoke in vigorous terms. 1t was claimed
the system was wrong. 1t was customary
to charge laborers, many of whom re-
ceived less than 81 a day, while ministers
who, in most instances, made as much
as the average physician, got reductions.
1t was declared there were many doctors
anxious to serve ministers in order to adj
vertise themselves, especially If the IA

In all probability the question will be
brought up again and some definite ac-
ton taken. In this case there promises

SEATTLE, Aug. T.-H r. RosecaIllp
of Chicago, who was member of the
Dusty Diamond party of Chicago, has re-
turned from Alaska with an interesting
story concerning the fortunes of that
party. The party was composed of fifty
men, members of the Chicago Fire De-
partment and manufacturers of that city.
They sailed from Seattle in May, 1897,
intending to go to Dawson City. Through
ill-luck they reached st. Michael late and
were detained there until it became too
late to make the up-river trip. Then they
headed for the Fish River country, in the
Golovin Bay district from which good re-
ports were coming. There they have re-
manned ever since.
Their expedition outfit cost an even $780,

ton by each member of the party. After
sixteen months of hardships and priva-
tions they have been enabled 20 draw out

up and dispersed. Thirty-nine of the men
worked steadily through June and July

tary TO the Neukluk, in the Golovin Bay
country. For this two months work they
got only $4,000, which was divided pro rata
among the fifty men.

inches to four feet below the surface.
There was an immense amount of water
in the creek, and a great deal of damming
had to be done in order to make 1t possible
to slufce at all Through the long winter
months the party worked laboriously,
whipsawing lumber and preparing it for
the sluicing season. The, winter was
passed without great hardship, owing to
amount of supplies on hand.
Finally, coming to the conclusion that
the Dusty Diamond expedition was not to
be a success, the members decided to
