HANGED ASSASS|NS N[RE ON HIS TRAIL
Frank Nigg's Weary Patrol
 of the Skagway River.
PUT IN THE CITY JAIL
Valor Had to be Shown in Capturing tho Lunatio. Fears of Being mur- dorod Rendered Him Desperate.

Frank Ngg was arrested last night and ty. He had been wandering about the northern suburb of the city the last day or two, and was afraid 10 go near anyone. He said someone wanted to rob him.
 Nearly all day yesterdiy Nlgg paced blek and forth in the middle cf the SKag. way river. He selected short beat, near the railroad bridge, opposite the car shops He was seen there Tn the morning by J. L. Pdrberrv, telmster who was passing on his sled. Pdrbeuy noticed the man was acting strangely, and reported the case to Marshal Tanner, The marshal told Par- berry to look out for the man, and fl he saw him again to bring him Tn.
 In the evening Parbery. Ed MeWest and H. b. Clark, of the dairy firm of Clark & NiloIsi, seeing Nigg was still patrolling the river. went out ani took him in charge. Ngg was arald of the trio He ran and climbed the railroad treStle. Pdrberrv, who is large. robust man, went up on the trestle to take Nigg in charge. The insane man carried a la'ge, ugly club and with this he made treach. erous blow at Parierry. The blow was warisd off and the Insane mn seized and held by Parbeuv until the other two men came to his assistance.
 The three men then put Nlgg on the wood sled and brought hlm part way to he jii. Il. was transferred to ah express wagon and in it carried the remainder of the way.
 On the way to the iill Nlgg was vio- lent, and had 10 be held down by two pairs of strong arms. He cried out for help. an! at the iil he refused to step be- hlrd the bars. Much barley failed to avail, and Marshal Tanner and three strong men seized him and placed him in cell. The poor fellow was handled as carefully as possible, and was shown no violeree. Every preeaution was taken to avoid ex- citing lhe man and in aggravating his case. He feared the marshal and others wanted to murder him.
 While on the river Nlgg wore only a canvass sack coat and thin clothes. Nevertheless, his tear of imaginary enc mics prompted him to remain there to be pierced and punished by the winds, r:ate doubly severe by the extreme cold,
 At one o'clock yesterday morning Nlgg went to the home of Mr. Clark, near the railroad shops, and asked to come in, say ing number of people had attempted to rob him in a down town resort. Mr. Clark took him in and gave him bed, but before breakfast yesterdlv morning the strange guest stole away, and the next known of him he was pacing the river
 Nigg says he had sIso which he hid in the north end. At the jlil he told friends just where he lett 1t. and they went to look for it. He had $ on his person when arrested.
 Ngg has been in Sk1gwav for mon'hs, and has heen shopping wood up the river o late. He was once employed by Mr. Sherley, formerly of the Wiekstrom hotel. He has a brother in Minnesota.
 The insane man Is about thirtv-fve years old and apparently strong physically.

THE CHAMBER CONCERT
Given By tho School of Music in
 Firemen's Hall Tonight.

The sale of tickets for the chamber concert this evening has been la:ge and there is every probability that all the available space Of Firemea's Hall will be occupied. The publication Of the program in these columns had some thing to do with the demand for reserv- ed seats, as many music lovers have sluce expressed their admiration of the taste shown in the selection of the nun. bers for production and have had their musical curiosity stimulated to hear them. It is, indeed carefully selected and well balanced program, aId is praiseworthy effort to give as many shades as possible of the better class of music as can be crowded in one concert.

TAe GoianR Vice.

A Chicago woman who came to New
 York several years ago to lecture on voice culture told the women of her class that New Workers naturally had well-modulated voices, but that they frequently ruined their pitch because of nervousness or misuse, and now comes a man whe alleges that much golfng is affecting the voices of women, Il have noticed the change in pitch, " he says, "in the voice of every enthusf. astie woman golfer of my acquaintance. You can't expect women to play golf professionals play whist. They would lose half the fun, and, moreover, con- genial conversation is one of the pleas ant features of the game. The neces- sity of frequently discussing a shot at long range in the open air naturally strengthens the voice, and women who spend most of their days on the links forget to lower their tones when they are indoors. I like to hear a woman's voice strong and clear, but the low, well-modulated voice has it's charms also, and my observation leads me to be- lieve that much golang ruins it. The bicycle face was recognized when the fad for wheeling was at its height, and believe that the golfing voice will also become recognized as distinct out come of the sport.-Chicago Tribune,

SLovENLY TYPEwRITING.
A TRansvaal oDsrasOs Whe Sacrificed NsstAsss and Proper Style
 for Speed.

The people who are expert operators on the typewriting machines usually do their work so rapidly that they write in full the words which the writer by the old pen and ink method expresses by signs and abbreviations, but it seems that even the machines must now resort to abbreyiations in order to turn out the work as rapidly as it iE required.
 A letter received recently from the Transvaal shows that even in that far away country the typewriter works un- der high pressure. The sheet is thickly sprinkled with diagonal dashes and dis connected letters, which at the first glance give it the appearance of having served the operator as practice sheet. But closer inspection shows that the dashes and letters are labor saving ab- breviations.
 Thus: ." man V went to house found locked"
 "One O leading citizens appeared f.
 defense"
 "He took hold O mans hand " his," etc.
 The people who write letters in this way may save little time, but the let ters are samples of sloveniness which will probably make the method unpop- ular.-N. Y. Tribune.

 In the past 70 years over 4OO, 900 mile! of railway has been completed in tn, British empire.

 Chicago has more miles of street rail way than any other city in the world The total length of single track, ele. vated railroads included, is over 1,0Ot miles.
 The Italian government now issues a new kind of "travelers' passes" good on all railways and steamboat lines and including hotel expenses, first or second-class, on payment of certain lump sum, varying according to class and time.

 The Kashmir railway is to be con- structed over IS6 miles in the most mountainous part of India. It will be operated by electricity, water power being used. This permits of much lighter motor for drawing the same load, and also permits of grades which steam engine could not climb without recourse to the rack system.
 The trains of the Siberian rail- road are to be ferried across Lake Bai- kal on steamboat which, it is said, will possess the most powerful engines employed in any vessel afloat.

WHAT ABOUT STATEHOOD?

"What is everybody's business IS nobody's." seems to be exempIi. fled in the statehood movement in Arizona. Everybody seems to be in favor of statehood, yet little, if any, practical work IS being done. Thcre was . meeting in Phoenix the first week in December, which started off with great blowing of trumpets and beating of tomtoms, but the ardor of officeholders who were so willing to sacrifice them selves on the altar of statehood seems to have come into contact with the cooling process of liquid air.-Arizona Graphic.
