Fifteen Dollars Per Head.

The habit Of buying islands seems to
grow on President Mckinley. He Is
about to purchase two more from
Spain without waiting for the aid or
consent of the United States congress,
and his object in purchasing them is
to prevent any other nation from get
ting them. The price agreed upon, ir
said to be 100000, which is about $15
head for the inhabitants. We bought
our Tagalo subjects for only 50 q head.

A Two Edged Joke.

Sometimes joke reacts, as the Ban
gor (Me.) Commercial proceeds to prove
by relating that a young man in Au-
burn, to play joke on barber, paid
him 35 old fashioned cents. Later,
when he found that the barber had sold
one of the coins for $35, he did not feel
so well satisfied with his joke or at
least thought it had become misplaced.

Inspector Conquest tells many enter
tanning anecdotes of his relations with
Mr.. Gladstone, whom he was specially
told off to shadow" during the trou-
blous times of 1891. The premier, who,
AS Is Wen known, chafed under the
yigilant supervision to which he was
subjected, was fertile In eXpedients to
get rid of the detective. Upon one occa-
sion he attempted particularly in
genious ruse. Entering club, of which
he was member, he persuaded q
friend of about his own build to walk
out wearing his unmistakable hat and
overcoat and carrying his umbrella.
Mr.. Gladstone hopedt of course, that
his unwelcome attendant might be mis-
led In the dusk Qf On. autumn evening
and thus allow an opportunity to es-
cape.
The astute detective saw the familiar
garments leaving the club, but was not
deceived as to the Identity of their
wearer. Gait Is one OF the most difil-
cult things in the world to initiate, and
MIR. Gladstone's was Intensely charac-
teristic. Inspector Conquest simply
walked up TO the wearer of borrowed
plumes. administered his most profes-
sional tap on the shoulder and said, 81

AKRON BOYS AT CORNELL.
Nearly all of the old regular varsity
players were given lay off Monday
and the scrub candidates were worked
for all that was In them, says an Ith-
aca special. New coaches were on the
field, including lynn Tracy, '9S, of
Syracuse, aud Cleves Short, last years
sub quarterback, who has been coach
ing Colgate this season. In addition
there were Haughton, Porter, Torney
and Capt Starbuck. The whole bunch
gave attention to the eleven which
represented the varsity, with the re-
suit that some hard and fierce work
was secured from both teams. Ma
mack was at center and Cooper and
/ Voris the guards. Brewster remained
at quarterback and Schollkopf his po-
sition at fullback. The scrubs sue
ceeded in scoring safety against this
eleven, while the last team crossed
their opponents goal line twice.

Skagway Helps Bennett to
Celebrate the Birthday.
WINS AT BASEBALL
Skagway Also Won at the Tug of
War--Some of the British DEM
onstrations Made in This City
and Their Results.

One hundred and thirty people went
I from Skagwav to Bennett on the excursion
yesterday and attended the observances in
honor of Her Britannia Maiestv's birth
dav. The Americans came back victor
iouS in the international baseball match
and the tug of war, With few other
exceptions the dav was all triumph for
the lion. The town of Bennett was gailv
decorated and even at Skagwav there was
S me attempt at display of the Union Jack
especially on the waterfront, where the
steamship Tees flew out her bunting and
house flags were run up ashore.
The feature of the days celebration at
Bennett was the baseball game, in which
Skagway vanqushed Bennett to the tune
of Io toI5. For six innings Skagwav
was far in the lead and Bennett had sen:
but one man across the plate, But in the
seventh, the proverbial fatal seventh,
Skagway lost her powers or Bennett made
wonderful rally, and piled up fourteen
runs. The game was PLAYED near the V
Y. T. Co.'S. mill. All through the game
heavy rain fell, but the crowd nothing
daunted, stood by and rooted.
In the tug of war Skagwav won two
contests.
The sports included wrestling, horse
racing, potato racing, foot racing, a pipe
race and other contests, which were held
on the main street.
In the delegation that went from Skag-
way were many representative business
and society people of the city, and thew
enjoved the dav immensely. A special
train was run. Members of the Camera
club took their cameras along and a stop
was made at Glacier and SWitchback to
allow them to make a few shots. The
road used its new observation cars. and the
excursionists nearly all rode In the open
cars.
Among those who DISPLAYED the British
colors in SkagWay YESTERDAY were men,
bers of the Canadian customs force, who
wore ties stamped with the Union Jack.
One of the British transportation Offices
displayed British flag. Frank Romo
STROBE forth and seeing the colors swore
they had no right to be up unless the
American flag was supsrimpoesd- md no

were made. hut Romo is glowing in he
fact that he Is fearless American.
Two squaws passed and saw the red flag
Of England before the transportation Of
flee, and dropped in and inquired when
the auction was t. take place. The story
was passed along Steamboat Row with
some trepidity for fear the Britshers would
hear of the circumstance and declare war.
AT last reports all was serene and there
was still ringing in the ears of scores of
Skagwavans and Bennetttes the air God
Save the Queen"

FAVOR OF THE SON.
Judge Moore Decides to Admit the
Will of Frederick H. Clayson.

In the superior court of Seattle on the
18th inst. Judge Moore admitted to pro-
bate the will of Frederick H. Clavson,
which DEGREES that William Clavson, a
brother of the deceased shall be its sole
executor.
Edward Clavson ST.. was present in
court in an attempt to dscredit the gen
uineness of the codiciI, particularly that
portion of 1t relating to the purported sig
nature OF the deceased. One or two hand
writing experts were summoned to testify
regarding the signature but nothing of a
positively contradictory nature was deveI-
oped from the evidence.
1t Is estimated that the deceased's estate
including his half interest in a stock of
merchandise located at Skagway, is worth
approximately $4,000.
