Down Mountain on an Avalanche
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
s'I had most remarkable experience
about year ago, said Mr.. Herman
Kirts, of Seattle, WASH, at the National
Hotel. at was SO remarkable that per-
sons to whom | have related it regard me
with suspicion, and not infrequently leave
me with the impression that as a prevari-
Gator would eclipse Ananias. But there
are three other persons who can vouch for
the truth of the story.
eve were prospecting on mountain in
Vancouver. It was in the spring of the
year, and the earth was soft and wet
When about half way up the side of the
mountain, without the slightest warning,
an area about one hundred feet square
seemed to break loose from the rest and
darted with lightning speed down the noun
tain side. The avalanche seemed to be
about five or six feet deep and carried with
it trees, rocks and boulders. Fortunately,
myself and companions were close to the
upper portion of the sliding land, and con-
sequently escaped being struck. That
ride down the mountain side on that ava
lanche was the most rapid and perilous one
l ever want to experience | rode astride
the trunk of fallen tree, and my friends
were clinging tenaciensly to its branches.
We covered distance Of about mile in
l should Say about half a minute, although
none of US held stop watches. The ava
lanche carne to a stop near the foot Of the
mountain in small valley, and, strange to
say, none of us was hurt, save one fellow
who was struck on the legsby boulder
after we had come to stop. Talk about
rapid transit-that ride beat anything
ever experienced or heard Of. Z

Care of the Hands.

From the Gentlewoman.
There is great knack in using the hands
gracefully, which seems to be but little
understood by girls and women generally.
Hands blush. Did you know that2 If
you are conscious of your hands they will
grow red and angry looking. Ifyou forget
them they will return to their normal color.
If hands are homely in shape, despite the
best one can do, they should be,shielded
with sleeves that drop over the hand.
Thin hands can be made plump by rub
bing them with cream. Hands that are
crimson when they are held down often
pass for exceptionally pretty Lands, be-
cause their owner deity contrives to keep
them up so that the blood shall not settle
in them.
Children should not be allowed to crack
their knuckles It causes their knuckles
to enlarge in hideous way.
Some hands are naturally pretty and
some are naturally homely, but many
homely hands can be greatly improved by
judicious care. Ones employment has a
great deal to do with the look Of the hands,
Of course, and the harder the work is on
the hand the more care is required to keep
it good condition. An abnormally small
hand is not attractive. The hand should
be in proportion to the rest of the body.
1t should have character, too, and should
be used expressively. Indeed, the hand
does much to express the character. When
its owner is nonentity the hand is merely
machine When its owner is an individ-
ual the hand follows suit.
To keep the hands smooth use a few
drops of this lotion after washing:
Three ounces of rosewater.
One ounce Of glycerine.
Ten drops Of carbolic acid.
Ten grains Of bicarhonate Of soda.

Twelve of Them Are in Jail Charged
with Murder.

Vancouver, B. c., April 9.-The steamer
Clutch, which arrived to-day from Skag-
way, brings the story of an attempted
rescue Of eleven Indians at Haines Mis-
sion by a hundred young bucks
AT the preliminary examination of the
prisoners it was shown that the Indians
had first put Mr. Horton white man.
to death, subjecting him to many afro
cities and during the following week had
kept Mrs. Horton prisoner, repeatedly
abusing her before killing her.
The greatest INDIGNATION prevailed at
Skagway and an organized attempt was
made to lynch the prisoners. This how
ever, was prevented by the troops, who
successfully guarded the Jail.
Another feature of the case was the
voluntary surrender to Deputy United
States Marshal Tanner of another Indian
who said he had been concerned in the
murder. There are now twelve Indians in

THE fate of the other side of the Pa

can republic The islands of the Philip

anarchy.

THE AGRICULTURAL BILL
Was Made the Basis for Political
Speeches in the House.

Washington, April 9.--This was dull
day in the House. The agricultural ap-
preparation bin was under consideration
and was made the vehicle of considerable
desultory debate on political topics, none
of which was pertinent to the bill.
Good progress was made with the bill
after the close of general debate, TWEEN
tyive of the thirty-seven pages being
covered before adjournment. Several
minor amendments were adopted.
resolution of inquiry calling for fig
ures regarding the acreage of land belong
ing to land grant railroads that was in
Guided within forest reserves at the time
of the crea ton of the reserves, the amount
in lieu of scrip issued therefor, etc, was
adopted. The Information is sought as a
basis for contemplated legislation.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole and took up the considera-
ton of the agricultural appropriation bill.
Mr.. Wadsworth, chairman of the Com
mittee on Agriculture, briefly explained
the general provisions of the bill, which
carries S4,116,S00
Mr.. Shuttuc of Ohio, in the course of
forty-fve-minute speech, in denunciation
"of the unpatriotic course of the anti
imperiahsts." paid his respects to Edward
Atkinson of Boston, whom he described
sachusetts cotton mill, and celebrated as
the notorious author of the science of nu-
triton. and the inventor of the Aladdin
oven" IA
Mr.. Bell of Colorado, in the course of
general political speech, declared that no
President had come so close to wrecking
the American government as Mr. McKin-
ley Property interests, he said, had been
allowed to run riot. He had become tired
of the pratng about patriotism. The
object of it ell was to benefit special in
terests, not the people as a whole. With
out the use of money and the influence
of the great corporations, he said, this
administra ton could not succeed itself.
After some further remarks on political
topics by MessrS. Small of North Caro-
lima, Gaines of Tennessee, Miers of In
diana, Stokes of South Carolina, Haugen
of Iowa, Robinson of Indiana, Bailey of
Kansas and Spalding of North Dakota
general debate was closed, and the bill
was read for amendment under the FIVE
minutes rule. Mr., Latimer of South Car
Dina. moved to increase the appropriation
for farmers bulletins from $4,000 to $105,-
600. This amendment created a lively
discussion. Without action on it the
House at o'clock adjourned.

NAVY is SHORT OF SAILORS.
TALK OF DRAWING ON THE FLEET
NOW At MANILA.

Men Are Needed to Man the New Bat
tIeships and other Craft Being
Turned Out-Light DrauGht Gun
boats Better Able to Perform tn e
Service Required In the Philip
transformations VIII Not War
rant Withdrawal of Many Vessels
Yet.
Washington, April 9.-The difficulty i'm
securing a sufficient number of sailors
to man the new battleships and other
naval craft which are being turned out
by our shipbuilders, has led to the re-
newal in some quarters of the suggestion
that some of the larger vessels of Ad-
miral Watson's squadron be withdrawn
from the Philippines to make up the COM
PIGMENTS of the new ships at home
1t is stated at the navy department.
however, that no action in that direction
has been determined upon, and in view
of the expected arrival on the Pacific
station within a fortnight of Admirals
Remey and Kempff. and the ensuing di-
vision of the naval force on the station
into two squadrons, it is not contemplated
that any change will be made.
The navy department officials realize
that for the purpose for which the navy
is now employed in the Philippines, small
light draught gunboats are more valua-
BILE than big batteships, and monitors
with their numerous crews. Still condi-
lions in the East are so unsettled as to
make a withdrawal of any portion of the
large United States force doubtful at this
time, in view of the possibility of whole
sale demands for protection of American
interests from points on the mainland of
Asia. This possibly has influenced the
navy department in the disposition of the
ships i'm the East though it is also posi-
BILE that Admiral Watson himself has seen
fit to give the necessary orders without
instructions from Washington.
1t has been arranged that an American
warship will be at hand for some time
to come at no less than three properly dis
tributed points on the mainland which
will serve as stations of refuge in case
they are needed. Thus, at Hong Kong
there are now two vessels, and they will
be from time to time relieved by others
needing repairs.
At Foo Chow opposite Formosa and
about half way up the coast Of China,
the Yorktown will spend some time IN

pairs further north at Shanghai and the
Wheeling is lying in the mouth of the
river at Taku a 3 sentinel for the northern
