He says when he first went to Alaska
he had a good stomach, but it finally
gave out; and one day in his search for
something that a man without an ap-

packages of Grape-Nuts food He knew
of the food and its value and was willing
to pay 4 of an ounce of gold dust $4,000

THE ALBUM WAS A BLUFF.

IFrom the Chicago Chronic1el
An Augusta minister will vouch for
this having occurred at a funeral a few
miles out Of the city not long ago.
The parlor was too small to accommo~
date the crowd of mourners and it was
necessary to put them in two rooms.
Those who were out in the sitting room
were separated from the party in the
parlor, where the casket rested, by an
entry way. This prevented them from
hearing all that the minister had said,
and after a time one of the young men
tired OF doing nothing, reached stealthily
over the table near him to get the fam
lily album, which was lying there in all
the richness of blue plush and fancy
brass clasps
He had just got it into his lap without
attracting attention and was going to
open 1t and show the photographs to the
girl next to him when he made a start
ling discovery. Something was moving
inside the album. He distinctly felt the
vibration of moving machinery With
apprehensive quickness he showed the
album back onto the table. But he did
it so rapidly that every one in the room
noticed the movement and looked at him
in silent reprOval.
And all the time he could hear the
clicking of that machinery and felt in
stinctively that something was about to
hapepn. Just then something did happen.
The minister was speaking tenderly of
the deceased and of the beauties of the
place to which his spirit had taken it's
flight, of the streets of gold and the
songs of the angels.
Then from the family album on the
table came the opening measures of that
rafting rag-time ..TlfereH be a Hot
Time in the Old Town Tonight The
album was a bluff; it was a music box
in disguise, and it was getting under
way in great shape.
The minister stopped. But the music
box didn't. 1t kept right on. The young
man who had accidentally started the
profane concert clutched It desperately
and tried to throttle it. But it was no
use. 1t insisted on going whether or no,
and go it did to the end of the tune,
while the entire funeral party waited for
the end Then the minister went on,
but having a sense of humor that is
well developed he had hard work to keep
his face in proper funeral trim.

FATHER OF WATERS
To Be Deepened With a 22-Foot
Channel in the South.

Chicago. Sept 19-The advisability of
creating a twenty-five foot channel in
the lower Mississippi and thus creating
waterway whose passage would be
sufficiently large for ocean steamers and
the corresponding relation Chicago
would bear to such a plan were the
principal questions discussed before the
drainage board yesterday. The scheme
which is fathered by United States En-
gineer James A. Seldom, is based upon
the reservoir plan, by the construction
of which, added to numerous dykes, it
is said that the Mississippi foods can be
done away with and in the floods suffi-
cient water can be stored in these reser-
voirs to provide an unfailing flow of
water in the summer time when the
river as rule become low.
The estimated cost of the Improvement
is as follows: Flood protection expend-
ed $1,000 900; completion of same, $780,
000, 900; cost of annual maintenance, 81
100000; annual amount to be spent in
dredging, $780, 900; reservoir system, $780,
000, 900.
The plan has been examined by
number of eminent engineers. The
drainage trustees are deeply interested
in the plan, as they realize that the deep
water way between the great lakes and
the Gulf Of Mexico will in all probable
1ty never be undertaken by the federal
government until some practical method

DAILY MEN BOLT.
Two Democratic State ConVen-
tiOns in Montana.

Helena Mont, Sept. 2o.-The Democratic
state convention last night was dramatic
The DAILY delegates from Butte seized the
seats assigned by the committee to the
Clark delegation and declined to give
them up till formal motion to remove
them by force was made. The majority
report of the credentials committee ia
voring the seating of the Clark delegation
was read and 80 minutes allowed each side
for argument Finally by vote of 25S
to 81 the majority report was adopted
Then Delegate Toole led 81 dissenters
from the hall and with 122 others who
had previously left Democratic cOnven-
ton was organized in Eng1ehorn hall.
The regular convention then perfected
its organization, adopted a platform, APP
pointed committees to confer with Pop
ulist and Labor party conventions with
view to effect fusion and adjourned I'M
til 10 clock this morning, when all four
conventions will be in session. The plat
form adopted by the regular convention
reaffirms the Kansas City platform, de-
clares for free silver at is to 1, favors
pensioning veterans of all wars. de-
nounces trusts and particularly the
Amalgamated Copper company, endorses
the eight-hour law for miners and
smelter men, eulogizes the record of W.
A Clark, and recommends his reelection
to the federal senate.

New York. Sept. z0.-ssThe iron mar

dicting. Those who are nearest to the
consumer seem to take the more favor
able view of the situation In the bar,
sheet and plate trades, in which by the
way, prices have been low the volume

The sales Of American skelp to Scotch
pipe manufacturers are not regarded as
prejudicial to export movement in mer-

customers.
The pudding and rolling scales are
still in allegiance, 50 that now the works
have been idle for over two months. 1t
IS amazing that the old practice of be-
ginning the annual discussion of the
scale only a few days before the expira-
ton of the old agreement still continues
There is no good reason why the Anal
gamated association should not take up
the matter in April, as well as it does
now at the end of June, so that work
could be resumed promptly in a manner
satisfactory to both parties after sum-
lner shut down of a few weeks in July.
The sensation of the week in the metal
trade has beer the drop in tin which has
materially lowered the price. The
Spelter industry seems to be reaching q
climax in the proposed control by pur-

Curious Wedding Ceremonies.

The marriage of the King of Servia
to Frau Draga Maschin was celebrated
according to ancient Servian customs
The quaintness Of the newly made
brides entrance into her husbands
house is worth noting. As the Queen
descended from the carriage at the
main entrance a piece of white linen,
woven in the country, was spread upon
the ground This was rolled up after the
bride had crossed it, in order that no
other foot might tread upon it. From
this linen night garments were prepared
for the King and Queen. At the en-
trance her aunt presented a sieve of
wheat corn, of which the Queen took
three handfuls, threw the corn over her
head, and then emptied the sieve upon
the ground. On the threshold a plate
of bonbons was presented to the bride.
One of these she placed between her
lips, while the other half was bitten off
by the King. The scattered corn denotes
that the bride brings joy and prosperity
into her new home, and the divided bon
bon that no bitterness shall divide them.
The bridegroom then took into his
arms a newborn boy, kissed him, and
laid him in the arms of the Queen. who,
after kissing him three times and rails
ing him high above her head, restored
him to his mother with a present of a
new shirt This child is called. Nakon-
yese, the most essential the symbol
married pair, the. mosk necessary thing
to have in the house is a child. For
this special ceremony, the minister, La
Ear Popovices, lent his newborn SON
After all these ceremonies the Queen
still stood outside, nor could she enter
the konak until she had placed two
loaves of bread beneath her arms and
taken a bottle of wine into her hands
With these emblems she crossed at
length the threshold of her future home
At the first meal of the newly married
pair bread and wine must be taken by
both to denote that henceforth all they
have shall be equally divided between
them. and that their married life shall
be passed in unity and fidelity.

LOOT FROM THEN TSIN.
A Large Amount Will Fall TO the
Government

San Francisco, Sept. 2O-The revenue
officers have brought. down from the
Mare Island navy yard on government
tug 154 cases of rare Oriental goods
which had been smuggled into this
country on the hospital ship Solace.
The articles seized would net a small
fortune. The duty is nearly 60 per cent
of the value of the goods, and, on this
account, most of the stuff, which in
cludes loot from Tien Tsin, will probably
be abandoned to the government The
cases of silks and curios are addressed
