NORTHERN ROUTE BEST.
War Department Decides to Send
Transport Port Albert Direct
to Manila From Semitic,

That the unfortunate experience of the
transport Victoria has not shaken the
faith of the war department In the ad-
vantages of the northern, or great circle,
route from the Pacific coast to the ORR
ent Is proven by the fact that an order
has lately been issued from Washington
directing the Port Albert which will sail
from Seattle within week with cargo
of cavalry animals. to proceed by the
northern route to Manila.
The government has, however, decided
to send the transport Sheridan which
will load cargo of hay and grain, by
way of Honolulu. Local shipping men
are unable to assign a reason for sending
the Sheridan by that route. The Port
Albert will take about 500 horses and
mules from this city. She is due any
day and is expected to get away within
a week.
The fact that the transport has been
directed to sail by the northern route to
the Philippines is taken by local army
officials to mean that the war depart
ment has not lost faith in the northern
route.

MILLMAN's COMPLAINT.
L. ID. McDermott Says He Was Dis
charged without Cause.

: l.. d. McDermott, of Ballard, filed a
suit late yesterday afternoon in the su-
perior court against Il. G. Sanders to
recover $3.50 damage on an alleged
broken contract
He claims that Sanders employed him
at Ballard last August to work in the
Matlock luWber mill as foreman at a sal
airy of 81 a day. About two months later
he was discharged. According to his
story, this act was unjustifable and
wholly without cause. He says he stood
ready to continue work. but was not al
lowed to do so. He was unable to get
work, he claims, and through the alleged
unjustifiable discharge was damaged in
the sum of $3.50.

All for Hln family.

A dangerous criminal was about to be executed in California. While his last toilet was going forward an Eng lishman who had just landed begged five minutes conversation with him., which was granted. All that was heard of the interview was the final remark of the criminal. He called after his visitor: "A thousand pounds to my heirs? You understand" When the hangman had prepared for his sad duty, the culprit claimed the right to say a farewell word. Lifting up his voice, he roared aloud to the assem- bled multitude: All you who listen hear my dying statement. The best coffee is the coffee of Messrs. Chicory. Chewem & Checker, of Calcutta and Iondont'-The Afgonaut.

Ages of Birds.

It is only possible at present to col- feet data from the duration of lives of birds in captivity; evidence otherwise must be unreliable, and it is purely a matter of theory as to whether the natural possible life is greater than that under the unnatural conditions of captivity. There are records of a nightingale having lived twenty-five years, a thrush seventeen, a blackbird that was still alive at twenty and a half, a goldfnch twenty-three, and skylarks of twenty-four and twenty. Ravens, owls and cockatoos are popu- larly supposed to live to very great age, and the following records appear to be authentic: Raven, fifty; gray parrot, fifty and forty; blue macaw, sixty-four; eagle owls. ffty-three, and one still alive at sixty-eight.

Bare of g rlace.

A gentleman Of decided and highly cultivated musical tastes, wishing to change his residence, advertised for rooms in "a private family fond of music. 5 The next mail brought him the following reply: Dear Sir--I think we could accommodate you with rooms, and as for music, one of my daughters plays the parlor organ and guitar, another one plays the aecor- deon and banjo; I play a eornet and fiddle; my wife plays the harmoniea, and my son the flute. We all sing. and if you are good at tenner singing, you would it right in when we get to singing gospel hymns evenings, for none of us sing tenner; or if you play the base vial, we have one right in the house. If you want music as well as board, we could accommodate you, and there would be no extra charge for it. ]" ~Harper's Bazar.

ESTIMATE SIZE OF THE SUN.
Comparisons Show It to Be very
 Large Affair.

The earth on which We stand is, no doubt a mighty globe, measuring as it does 5000 miles in diameter, yet what are it's dimensions in comparison with those of the sun? If the earth be rep resented by a grain of mustard seed, then on the same scale the sun should be represented by eecoanut Per haps, however, a more impressive con- eeption of the dimensions of the great orb of day may be obtained in this way: Think of the moon, the queen of the night, which circles monthly around our heavens. pursuing as she does a majestic track at a distance of 240.000 miles from the earth. Yet the sun is 50 vast that if it were a hollow ball the moon could revolYe in the or- bit which it now follows and still be entirely inclosed within the suns in terri. For every acre on the surface of our globe there are more than 10000 acres on the surface of the great lum- mary. Every portion of this illimit- able desert of flame is pouring forth torrents of heat It has, indeed, been estimated that if the heat which is in- cessantiy flowing through any single square foot of the suns exterior could be collected and applied beneath the boilers of an Atlantic liner, it would suffice to produce steam enough to sus- tain in continuous movement those en- zines of 30,000-horse power which en- able a superb ship to break the record between Ireland and America.-Pear- sons Weekly.

Cubans and Porto Ricans.

One result of the provisional state of things now existing in Cuba is that Cubans who travel abroad are without any definite government protection. They are no longer subjects of Spain and they are not citizens of the United States. Secretary Hay has issued in- structions under which they will be given the good offices of American rep resentatiyes abroad. in case of need, but this is by way of friendly inter- yention rather than official protection. Porto Rieans, however, will be given protection in all matters in which American citizens would be entitled to it; but they will be registered at the eonsulates as native Porto Ricans and not as citizens of the United States.

It consists of pipe eight feet in length and three inches inside diameter, far ing at the mouth, located near the nav igating officer. By means of blower strong stream of warm air is sent through the pipe and acts to blow a hole through the fog It is claimed that the moisture IS condensed and falls in rain drops, so that the nayi- gator is able to see through several hundred feet of the densest fog.

Russell Ro,xen Dead.

Russell, son OF AFRO Bowen Of this place,
/ died OF consumption at Loyalton, >. Oak,
/ last week, aged 20 years. he has many
| relatives here. He went from this place
when Is years old and had since lived in
Aberdeen, going to LoyRlton near the
I last for his health.
The following was clipped from an Alb
erdeen paper
"Word was received last night OF the
death from consumption OF Russell Bowen
OF this city, who went to Loyalton about
two weeks ago. The deceased was an ex-
ceptionally bright and stndious young
man, who had worked his way through
the public schools OF the city, graduating
two years ago with high honor Since
that time he had been engaged as janito
at the public school buildings, and was
devoting his leisure time to the study of
law. For some time he had been in poor
health, and gave up bis work two months
ago, and later went to Loyalton to rest. A
week ago Professor Fitch received letter
from him stating that he was getting bet
ter and hoped soon to be entirely well.
The funeral was held from the M. +.
church and his remains were laid at rest
in Riverside cemetery. The body lay 10
state at the church during the noon hour
to allow the school children and Others to
view il. There were many beautiful floral
tributes, most OF which were contributed
by the pupils. An immense audience at
tended the services, which were conduct
ed by Rev. T. c. Mcintyre OF the Christian
church, OF which the deceased was a
member. The high school pupils attend
ed in body, school being dismissed for
that purpose, and had there been room in
the church other departments would also
have been let out TO allow the children to
be present. These pupils participated in
a measure, however, several hundred OF
them being marshalled on the sides OF
Third avenue, forming lines through
which the procession passed as il left the
church Tor the cemetery. The funeral
services were verv impressive and there
we're many fearful eyes in the audience
during their progress.
