The shipment of two wives by express
from Issaquah, Washington, to their
husbands at Dawson City by the Mug
gett Express company is something of
novelty in the express business. Mrs.
l.. 7. Mullarkey and Mrs. l.. T. Jones
were the ladies who constituted the
novel assignment. An express messen-
ger accompanied them to look after the
baggage, etc, and he will take re-
cefpt from the respective husbands on
delivery of the goods. Precisely what
would happen if either of the husbands
was dead or could not be found and
where the liability of the company

Occasionally one does resign, after all
Orders have been issued by the War
department announcing the acceptance
of the resignation of Major Robert H.
White, retired, by which he voluntarily
relinquishes pension of nearly $4,000
year. The resignation of a retired Off
Ger is an almost unheard- of proceeding,
and, though it was proffered several
months ago, thinking there must be
mistake, it was returned, with a sug-
gestion that he reconsider his action.
Major White returned the resignation
with letter urging its acceptance. Ma
pointed to the army as assistant sur
geon in 1867, and became major in
1887. He now resides in Pennsylvania
The increased demand for iron in
Central Russia and the present scarcity
of pig iron have resulted in causing the
foundries in the Moscow district to al
most come to a standstill. 1t is said
that there is no scarcity of ore in that
country but the enterprise and money
necessary for mining purposes are lack
ing although in the southern part of
Russia towards the Black Sea, many
new companies have been started of

A correspondent of the London Spec
tator says the Gersoppa Falls, on the
Sharavatti river in South kanara, In
dia are larger and more magnificent
than Niagara. He says: THE river is
$50 yards wide, the clear fall is $50 feet
The Gersoppa Falls in the rainy season
are incomparably finer than Niagara in
every respect. The roar of the falling
waters is simply terrific; the whole
earth shakes, and the thunder Is 50
great that it completely browns the hui
man voice. When | visited Niagara
and told my American friends about
Gersoppa they replied with polite in
credulity, we never heard Of Gersoppa,'
7 renlied: Make your minds easy; the
people at Gersoppa have never heard
of Niagara If Niagara could see Ger
Soma she would wrap her head in a
mist"
