A Town Built on Ice.

in the country, having no existence ex-
cept in winter. 1t is situated on Sag
NAV Bay-not on the shores but liter
ally on the bay-and is collection OF
board shanties built upon the ice. Last
season it contained one thousand
houses.
They are the huts of tie men who
do the winter fishing for like, pickerel,
lake trout and white FISH,, and as soon
as the ice forms on the bay their CON
struction is begun. The fishermen live
in their huts from the time they are
built until the breaking up OF the ice
in the spring force them to come
ashore.
There is a door in each hut, and in
the floor a trap-door some twenty
inches square. When this Is raised

discovered. At the side Of this the
fisherman sits all day and a great part
of the night, watching for his game.
which he captures by a dextrous use OF

Well, the first effect would be rather
social and moral than commercial

strongly on the business world Those
who in the ordinary course % affairs
would be dead before fifty years had

younger people would probably become
as resigned to universal death as they
are now te the equally certain indivld
nal death. Therefore, ut first there
would be but little change. People
would have 10 live and therefore they
would have 20 work. while capitalists
would have 10 keep their money invest

at Squaw Island. was found in Lake
Michigan off Manitowoc, after haviug
been tossed about in the icy waters for
twenty-t III hours. Both of Shields legs
were frozen. He had been rendered al
most unconscious by hunger and expos
ure, and delirious from the awful strain
of the double task Of watching ov2r and
trying to stimulate to further endurance
his dying relatives and of trying to steer
the wrecked boat in the face Of a storm

Shields, "and soon afterward |, with Me

Mrs. Shields and her niece, Mrs. Mary
Davis. with a few belongings, embarked
in a sailboat for the mainland, seven
miles distant. When out but short time
the boat capsized. By hard work we
managed TO all reach the upturned hull,
and dashed the women to it. McCauiey
and myself also succeeded in securing
ourselves, but Morden, who had become
delirious, refused to do this. We did our
best to bind him to the wreck and had
almost succeeded when, because of his
struggles, and the force of the waves, he
fell away from us and we did not see
him afterward. My wife and her niece
McCauey and myself, dashed and cling
ing to the boat, were tossed about and
suffered terribly from the cold and seas
which washed over us. About seven hours
after the accident happened my wife sue
cumbed, being unable to longer endure
the terrible exposure to winds and seas.
Mrs. Davis, after holding up for several
hours after my wife's death also died,
AM only McCauley and myself remained
alive, with the two dead women dashed
by our sides, floating around the lake
with no other human being in sight. We
were finally picked up by the steamer

Three hands round whooped the
horsethief, shifting his pistol toward
Garrett, and almost on the last word
he lunged forward on his face with a
bullet through his heart. The last

Pat Garrett further convinced the
border folk that he was at home IL
their warm country by interrupting
the flight of three Mexican bandits al
Las Tabias. While on their trail they
ambushed him. He dropped behind
his horse and while they were popping
away at him he shot from under the
animal and picked them off, losing his
horse in the battle.
Another service he rendered the or

Manuel Sanchez, a desperate from Old
Mexico, whose fond belief 1t was that
he was not fated to die by the bullet.
Sanchez murdered a soldier at Fort

take him. There was a running battle
between Garrett and Sanchez and his

when the five desperadoes were
dropped, one by one, in the alkalI dust

THE PORTO RICO BILL,

The Porto Rican tariff bill, which has
caused a hot debate in congress for sew.
eral days. passed the house Wednesday
by a vote Of l72 to 1871. six republicans
voting against and four democrats for
the measure. The bill was amended
before passing to limit its operation to
two years and the proposed tariff was
reduced from 25 to Is per cent. The
claim is made by those who favor a rate
Of duty il imports into Porto Rico from
this country and imports into this coun.
try from the island that the rate is nec-
essary in the interests of Porto Rico,
and that sc far as the United States is
concerned this would be really free
trade, as the total amount of customs
payments would be turned over to the
Porto Rican government for the benefit
Of that island. 1t is asserted that Porto
Rico needs this revenue, as the people
Of that island would be unable to meet
the wants Of their new government
from internal revenue taxation alone.
Involved III this question is the consri.
tutional limitation asserted Oh the one
side to exist, which, in effect, is that
the United States having incorporated
Porto Rico as a part Of its territory, it
would be a violation to the constitution
to maintain rates Of duty on commodi.
ties transported into and from the is
land. However, the republican party
is not in the habit of passing %unconsti.
tutional measures and, as a small rate
OF duty was necessary to protect the
Porto Ricans, that protection HAD to
necessarily come from the party Of pro.
lection.
