the principle in matters Of sentiment pleasure

Colonel "Jack" Chinn comes out in
his ripening years as an advocate OF
peace and disarmament. He would
like to have the Kentucky practice OF
carrying revolvers and bowie knives,
now and heretofore followed by most
of the male inhabitants of the State,
discontinued. He also approves of an
abatement of the custom of shooting
on sight," also a rooted Kentucky
usage. He thinks twenty-four hours
ought to elapse before firearms are in
troduced as the solvent of a persona
difficulty. In that time each of thu
parties to it would have leisure to va
porlze and exhale the blue grass fluids
of which he had made himself the re
ceptacle and apply to the subject the
meditations of partial sobriety.

Among the measures being consid-
cred by the General Assembly of
Maryland, is one requiring public Of
icials to give corporate security, the
cost to be paid from the public funds.
The Judiciary committee of the Senate
has decided unanimously to report the
bill favOrably. When public officials
give private bondsmen and then de-
fault, there is natural but mistaken
sympathy for the sureties, which only
too often results in expensive leniency.
But probably the most advantageous
feature of the measure is the clos e
scrutiny the bonding corporations will
exercise over the actions and acco UNITS
of the official they protect, thus rem
dering defalcations less liable and
keeping well intending men in the

THE PLAGUE IN HAWAII.
Fear that the Disease is Likely to Run for q
Long Time.

Our possessions in the Pacific seem
to be destined to suffer severely from
the bubonic plague, which, starting in
China, is making the circuit of the
globe. At Honolulu up to January
as many as % deaths had occurred
from the plague, every case proving
fatal. There were four cases at that
time in the hospital that gave some
promise of recovery, but the outlook
was not very favorable. New cases
are constantly appearing at places
more or less distant from the centre of
infection, proving that the disease is
not under control and is likely to run
long course. One of the latest vic
Tins is the agent of the Board OF
Health, who has been fighting the epi
demic. The steps taken to arrest il
are sufficiently drastic. All infected
houses are destroyed. Entire sections
of the town occupied by Chinese are
burned.

FABULOUS WEALTH AT NOME.
Gold Found Everywhere From Seashore to
Tablelands.

The following is a portion of letter
received by Irwin Miller, a returned
Klondiker, from the postmaster at
Nome, Alaska, the latest gold produc-
ing find:
Imagine strip of sandy beach
which will pan from $25 to $500 per
day. The water from the ocean is
used to wash out the auriferous parti-
cles, and there is chance for every
one. Of course, there is strip along
the beach about one hundred feet wide
that belongs to the government for a
roadway. But this can be leased from
the Interior Department, and is being
worked by those who are in need of
ready money for the necessaries of life.
About eight months ago a crowd of
two thousand miners came in dead
broke. They had lost everything they
had in the Copper River Country, and
to them the free gold on the beach was
a godsend.
| have never seen any one who
wanted to work clear up less than $25
a day. There are times when rich
pockets would be struck, and the labor
OF few hours would pay $500. OF
course this panning by the small pan
is not the quickest way to get out the
gold. Many of the miners improvise
big hand rockers and Jig out two or
three tons of earth day.
In the tablelaud further up from the
shore gold fs plentiful, but harder to
: reach. After digging through the soil
p in sinking the shaft the ground is very
mushy and hard to hold. Bedrock is
struck at depth of thirty feet or more
The best time to work is in the winter
when the ground is frozen, but even
then the climate is not so severe as in
the KlOndike, and the miners can
work to better advantage. This table
land, known as ''tundra" is bound to
become one of the greatest gold cen
tres that the world has ever known.
Machinery can be put up there, and
with the universal distribution of the
prec' metal, it can be worked
in quantities, and will be
another Treadwell mine, only richer,
and without the necessity of putting
in stamp mills.
81 have no doubt that by July there
will be a hundred thousand men in
there, crazy with the lust of gold. Men
can pay expenses from the very first
day. The dirt will turn out from so
cents to $1.50 a pan all over the
''trundra' and beach. It seems to
have been the result of glacial move
ment, and the placer, mining will sur
prise the most enthusiastic of the
Forty-Niners.
