now Atlantic City Is as picturesque and

Perhaps the artist speaks the truth. A

A Mistake In the Count.

It appears from al examination of the
tally sheets that on the first ballot for re
Iorter of the Supreme Court a mistake was
made in the footings which credits Charles
r. Remy with ninety-two votes less than he
received. The correct number of votes re-
ceived by him was 662 instead of $40 as an
rounced, or within forty-six votes of the
nomination. This bears out Mr.. Remy's es-
innate that he would receive more than
COO votes on the first ballot. Mr.. Remy's or
ganization was one of the best of the con-
yention.

The first map folder or circular respect
ing the Klondike gold strike OF 1898 was
issued by the Northern Pacific Railway.
1t is more than a coincidence that the first
map folder or pamphlet OF the Nome Min.
ing district cone from the same source.
The present folder not only contains a
good map OF the Nome district but is EN-.
bellished with several cuts OF views at
Nome City and on the beach where the
method OF mining is clearly shown. All
information obtainable regarding sailing
dates from Seattle and Tacoma, through
rates, etc., is given in this book and the
public cautioned to go to the agents OF the
N. z. Ry., who are supplied with diagrams
oil the Alaska Steamers, and arrange in
advance Tor their accommodations rather
than put off this very important business
until they reach Puget Sound. There is no
doubt but what there will be a very con-
siderable passenger business from the mid
die and eastern states and n very heavy
business from the Pacific Coast States to
the Nome district next spring.
