STORY OF A PHOTOGRAPH.
Maxim, the Gun Inventor, and the
Prince of wales in an ELM
mated Group.

A Wall street broker has a cabinet
photograph Of the prince Of Wales and
Hiram Maxim, of Maxim gun fame, the
inventor being in the act of firing a
MAXIM" while the prince looks on at
a respectful distance, says the New
York Commercial.
There's a funny story connected
with that picture" said the broker.
"and incidentally it illustrates the wide
difference between Hiram Maxim and
his brother Hudson, who lives in
Brooklyn and is the inventor of smoke
less powder. The smokeless powder
man is one of the most democratic of
men, and would not walk across the
street TO 80 into photograph with the
prince or the queen herself, but not SO
with Hiram.
This leads up to the history Of this
photograph. When the Maxim gun
was q new thing and the British gov
eminent was beginning to show an in
terest in il Mr.. Maxim and some of the
gentlemen associated with him gave an
exhibition Of its wonderful shooting
capacity and there were a number OF
English officials present, including the
prince. When the test was over ii was
found that a photographer had been
conveniently near the scene, and had
secured a good picture Of the crowd.
And Mr. Maxim and the prince were in
the very center of it.
This present photograph of Mr..
Maxim and Wales is all that is left Of
the original group. Maxim, being an
inventor brought his intellect 10 bear
on the situation and saw where the
picture could be transmogrified. and an
artist was engaged to wipe out All the
mere cabinet officers. generals. ad-
mirals, capitalists and other plebeiaps
leaving only these two-Maxim and the
dear prince.
Looking at the picture as you see Il
now, you cannot escape the impression
that the inventor and his ROYAL high.
ness took a sOciable stroll 10 the su-
ouros with Maxim gun on their backs
hno had this photograph especially
taken for their mutual pleasure and The
benefit Of posterity.
But it happened as relate II ana
the ingenuity Of the thing does credit
even TO the inventive genius Of the man
rom Maine who invented the Maxim
gun"

LUCK OF A scRUBwoMAN.
Misfortune Drove Her 10 the Yukon,
Hut Fortune smiled stehdtly AFTER
She Reached There.

Mrs. Mary Wixon was chamber
maid in a hotel of Portsmouth, n
H.. 12 years ago. This was before hel
marriage to a laborer in Grass Val
lev. Cal. Hard work was her lot II
California, and, drifting to Sacra
mento, she scrubbed cars for the
Pullman company to help out the
family's slender income. Five years
ago she and her husband sailed for
The Yukon river gold diggings. To-
day, says the St. Louis Republic
Mrs. WiXon is a widtw, with about
$4,000 invested in gilt-edge secur-
titles and real estate in California,
and a yearly income from her gold
mines of $4,000.
When Mrs. Wixon reached Daw-
son a miner hired her to run board
ing house and paid her SIS a week.
For one week she worked for this
! sum and the next week asked for
500 and got it.
This" she says, was the beginning
of my success. Before October ar
rived had gone in debt for a hotel,
built of logs and heavy sawed boards,
where 20 people could live and dozen
more could be accommodated on a
squeeze. The structure cost me So, 900.
1t would have been dear at 5000 any
where in the union. BY January
paid for my hotel, and l had more
than 20 pounds of gold saved and
hidden in my room.
SPY March, when the days were
eight hours long, / had saved more
than $4,000 in gold. In return for
my kindness to a Swede named Swan
son, who died in my house, upon my
promise to help his mother in Sac
ramento, he gave me a deed to his
mining claim on Hunter creek, which
paid me a net profit of more than
$4,000 in one year.
Every day l went into the hole
in the gravel and saw for myself
what the hired help were doing
When the annual sluicing took place
in June, 1897, and we ran all the
accumulated gravel heap through the
sluices, we got out 65 more pounds
of gold in about six weeks. / sent
it all down to the San Francisco mint
and had the money deposited in q
bank for me.
"Then we started up on another
years work We had taken out
about $4,000 in gold when l was
offered 100000 cash for my claim.
felt that | would be better off with
cash than mining among men, so |
sold. From that time until the sum-
mer Of 1898 / bought and sold real
estate, built two houses at Dawson
and added to my fortune every month. |
l ought to add that / had more than
20 proposals Of marriage in one year.
in one week l had offers Of marriage
from three men.
Eyes, have advice to give TO peo-
pie who yearn to go to the Klondike
to get rich. 1t is to keep away from
there. Why, / wouldn't live on a

millions of dollars"

Our Dead Soldiers.

Col. Vim. S. Patten of the quarter
masters department, has completed
arrangements for thief transportation
to the United States of the remains of
soldiers and civilians who lost their
lives and were buried in the island pos
sessions Of the United States and China.
According to the present plans Of the
department. burial corps will take
passage on the transport Hancock,
scheduled to leave San Francisco,
Ocsober l for the Philippines. Col.
Pa,ren says that the Prevailing con-
ditions in China will scarcely render
practicable any disinterments in that
country earlier than next spring. All
the remains recovered are to be given
honorable burial in the Uoited States,
a. places selected by the next Of kin. In
all cases where not otherwise ordered
the interment will be made in the
national cemeteries with preferences
for the cemetery at the Preside at San
Francisco and the Arlington cemetery
near Washington. The approximate
number of remains to be exaumed is
/, ,331, distributed in the following
places:
Honolulu-36 enlisted nea OF the ar
my; l marine.
Gusm-Eight men Of the navy.
China--TWo officers of the army,
So enlisted men of the army aud 81 of
the navy.
Philippines-Seventeen officers Of
the army; l, $50 enlisted men of the

The New Game Law.

The real sportsnen are anxious
ly awaiting the opening Of the hunting
season, but the pot hunters is badly in
the soup this year. As the season was
favorable for them no doubt there will
be plenty Of portridges this year.
The hunting season opens on Novem-
Der l, and there will be rush for the
fields on that day. The new game law,
which prohibits the sale Of partTidges,
etc., will play havoc with the pot
hunters" Any person offering par
tridges for sale will be liable to fine
and Imprisonment. The new lav will
be in force for five years, and it is in
tended to put a stop to the wholesale
slaughter of birds py people who slay
them for the market. The pot hunters
have aeeded out the coveys to great
extent, and the law will have the effect
Of checkingthe indiscriminate slaughter
and sale of birds. The genuine sports
me0 are veil pleased with the new Law,
and they say If the law is enforced birds
will be plentiful for years to come. It
will be risky proceeding for any per-
son to sell birds, as the sporting men Of
the state are more determined than
ever that the game laws shall be en-
forced. \ state association Gas formed
last year for the purpose Of protecting
the game, and the organization will
prosecute any person caught violating
the game laws of the state.
