of ST. Michael, has been made a place OF
detention for the smallpox patients, ana
the two ships on which the disease was
discovered-the Ohio and the Santa Anna

There is almost an utter absence Of civil
or military government in the Cape Nome
district. as well as in the whole territory
of northwestern Alaska. and the situation
was an ugly one last week when the Ohio
came in with her two smallpox patients
and her other passengers insisting strenu-

COLLAR RuIIoHS.

A manufacturer of collar buttons at
Newark, N. j., who guarantees MS
wares and advertises his Willingness
to replace any that are broken or 9TH
erwise prove defective, was somewhat
surprised the other day to receive
letter from a man in New England,
who, he said, had lost his button and
applied for a new one under the terms
of the advertisement. The manufac-
turer admired the nerve of his cores
pondent so much that he sent new
collar button; but explained In a letter
that while he manufactured a button
that would not break, he did not pre-
tend to make one that would not get
lost.
This reminds me of one of the few
Jokes that were ever heard in the
United States supreme court, and JUS
ice Shiras, the solemnest looking man
that ever was, was the culprit. Any
one familiar with the formallty and So
lemnity of the highest tribunal In the
world can realize the sensations of the
members of the bench and the bar and
the spectators when Justice Shiras ask
ed his question.
An eminent lawyer, one Of the most
eminent in the United States, was In
the midst of an argument in defense or
the patent rights of his client to a
new-fangled collar button that was
being unlawfully manufactured by

cARELEsSNESS.WITH MONEY.
Reasons That Have Sent People to the Treas
ury For Assistance.

Reasons That Have Sent People to the Treas.
ury For Assistance.
The secretary Of the treasury has a
very large directory Of careless people
of people who have money to burn
or otherwise destroy and who appeal
to him for reimbursements. Uncle Sam
Is kind enough to restore lost money
when he Is satisfied that it Is actually
out of existence and the treasury de-
partment has to look after this part
of his financial affairs. Hardly a day
passes that the secretary is not appeal
ed to to make good money destroyed,
and he often receives remnants Of bills
more or less recognizable, with queer
tales Of how the work of destruction
was wrought.
One Of the latest applications was
from a Vermont farmer, who sent a
mass Of remnants Of bills that ap-
preached the condition of pulp and
asked for $3.50 IN return, which, after
some delay, he received. He said he
had very carefully hidden the money
under the rafters Of his barn, and in
some way it had gotten into the hay
and bran and fed to one Of his cows.
The cow was chewing the green feed
when it's nature was discovered.
Another farmer from Kansas has
sent a lot Of chopped bills that he says
represents s4U. According to his story
they were in the pocket Of vest that
was hung on a feed cutter, and when
1t was being operated the corner Of the
vest that held the money got between
the knives, and, with the money, was
torn in shreds. The claim is now in
process of adjustment.
A Boston man took from his pocket
what, he says, he thought was a piece
of paper and burned half of 1t in light
ing the gas. The gaslight revealed the
fact that ne had used 500 bill as a
lighter.
A Washington man couple Of weeks
ago went in person to The secretary to
get s35 for some badly mutilated bills
that his playful pup had been exercis-
ing with for an hour.
A Wisconsin woman has sent a lot Of
tinder that, she says, was once $50.
Several months ago she hid it in
stovepipe hole, into which the pipe
from a laundry stove was recently
placed. AS the pipe rested on the bills,
tinder was the result.
Another woman, this time in Indian
apolis, got $40 in greenbacks mixed
with greens she was preparing for din
ner and boiled them into an almost
mass.
A loving Philadelphia papa has ask
ed $40 for a few strips Of greenish pa
per and a score Of pellets Of the same
material. He says they once constitu-
ted $40 bill, which his pet boy had
torn to pieces, rolled into balls and
blown through glass tube at a cat,
canary bird and nurse.
An Ohio man wants to sell the treas
ury department a mouse for 500. He
says he had that amount in bills in a
bureau drawer. and that the mice ap-
it in bits to build home
in which to rear their family.
This list is continually growing, and
the communications giving the re-
markable details are so frequent as to
cause no smile or comment in the de-
partment. Each one Is simply a new
case that follows along a line of red
tape until it Is adjusted.

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

Che WAS a sweet-faced young Wo-
man and she had come out to the Phli-
innines because her husband was a cl-
william clerk in the employ OF the gov
eminent and stationed at Manila, says
a Manila correspondent of the Chicaso
Tribune.
She was determined to do a great
deal of good to the poor soldier boys
who were so far away from home,
lighting for the flag. She determined
to take flowers to the hospital ana
scatter sunshine and smiles and kind
words around among all the soldiers
and become the 'angel of the vailed
city." or something like that. The
Fom tn cavalry was stationed at Pasay'
which Is only a mile and half from
Manila, and so, at the first opportunl-
tv she hurried out there to see What
she could do for the poor soldier boys.
She walked around the camp and
was passing one end OF the barracks
when. she met a half dozen private
soldiers, all with their eyes red ana
swollen, and one or two with tears roll
ing down their cheeks.
She is really a knd-hearted little
woman and she stood actually aghast'
but before she had time to ask a ques-
ton or offer sympathy. the soldiers
had passed on. So she hurried over to
the sentinel, who had lately been ship
ned to the Philippines from recruit
ing station on the Bowery of New
York.
ooh" she sobbed, what have those
mon been punished for? I call it in
human. Oh. tell me, what was the mat
ter with those poor boys. Why were
they crying?"
"Cryin' nuthin'," said the sentry
from the Bowery. "De guys wasn't
cryin'. OATS de kitchen perlice, ana
they've been a-peelin' de onions Ter
dinner"

A CASE OF LUcK.-"I don't know

pretty girl in blue, and what's more l

for two months, and you can't blame
me for the construction put on 1t, par
ticularly so when he took such notice
of Fido every time he called, and you
know Fido can be very disagreeaole TO
callers. Well, he kept coming ana
making eyes at my dog until began
to wonder If he was aware that l was
in the room. It went on like that for
sometime; but at last he found his
tongue and said:

the people on the other side Of the case.
The distinguished counsel was describ-
ing the patent referred to-, and it's
many advantages. when Justice Shiras
interrupted him, and, in a most serious
manner, observed:
II should like to ask the learned
counsel If his client manufactures a
collar button that won't roll under the
bed"
OF course the court was shocked.
Some young people in the seats reserv-
ed for spectators Uttered and the mar
shall, raping on his desk with his gav-
ell, roared, "Silence in this honorable
court!" The eminent counsel MAIN
tanned his gravity, although his soul
must have been deeply stirred, and had
presence Of mind enough to turn the
incident to his own advantage, saying
with emphasis:
II have the honor to inform the court
that the collar button manufactured
by my client is unique in that as we'll
as in other respects; but my client
would not he so selfish as to patent
so important a benefit to mankind"
