SEEKING THE LIVE MUSK OK.
Efforts OF Buffalo Jones to Captur

Efforts OF Buffalo Jones to CAPTURE
Specimens I'm North Canada.
New York Sun: Buffalo Jones is q
hero of the western plains who earned
ais prefix as a successful hunter of
buffalo. In the days when they were
numerous he killed thousands FOR
heir hides. Many of his adventures
as a Nimrod and also his encounters
with r~attlesnakes and hostile Indians
nave been deemed worthy of preserya-
ion and are now recorded in a book
.alled Buffalo Jones Forty Years of
Adventure" The book tells his great
ambition TO capture n or more speci-
mems of the musk-oX which roves over
Arctic America and Greenland and has
1ever yet been brought alive from its
native haunts. At the mature age or
50 he decided to make the attempt,
and he also entertained the hope that
ne might return to civilization with a
number of silver gray foxes, martens
and other valuable fur-bearing ami
mails. for he had conceived the idea
that he could make money by propa-
| eating them on an island on the Ia
cific coast.
So in June, 1897, Buffalo Jones with
a large equipment of h%alters, head
stalls and traps for catching anu
bringing back the animals he was
after went over the Canadian Pacitic
road and its branch to Edmonton and
down past the dangerous rapids OF the
AthabaSca to Fort Smith on h Great
Slave river, where the Indian chiefs
solemnly informed him that they
would not permit him to take live en-
imals out of their country. The story
hat this was his purpose had preceu-
ed him, and it was some time before
he convinced the Indians that he real
" contemplated no such foolishnesS.
He found that unless he concealed his
real purpose they would not let him
90 north at all, and he meant to trust
to luck to carry III his plan. He had
with him a few white men with dog
trains, and i'm the dead of winter, Feb
ruary 25, 1898, the party started north
Tor the stamping grounds of the musk
Ok. They had a few exciting adven-
lures on the way with ravenous Arctic
wolves, and the cold was too intense
!or fun, but at last they found musk
oxen, and after a great dead of trouble
Ave calves were secured and brought
to camp.
Buffalo Jones thought he was in
great luck, but he did not know the
Indians he had been dealing with.
They had sent a party on his track
20 see that he did not violate his
promise to take no live animals out
Of the country. They skillfully con-
,ealcd the fact that they were after
him, and he did not know that there
vas an Indian within 200 miles when
he awoke one morning and found, 10
his great CONSERVATION, that in the
dead Of the night the threats of all
the young musk ken had been cut.
The main object of his expedition
was thu frustrated and there was
nothing to do but TO return. He got
out of the country by way Of the
Mackenzie, P%orcupine and Yukon riI-
crs, Dawson City and Seattle, and dur
ing the perilous and trying journey
he lost the five live silvcr-gray foxes
and ten martens he had captured. But
Buffalo Jones was glad to get out OF
the wilderness alive, though empty
handed.

FAMOUS THEATER IN ASHES
The Columbia, of Chicago, Des'
troyet--The Iroquois Club
Also Consumed.

Chicago, April 2.-Thc Columbia
thcatcr, one of the oldest and most
popular play houses in the city, was
destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon,
cntailing a loss of $4,000. The fire
was discovered in the laundry of the
Iroquois club, which occupied apart
ments on the sixth floor of the build
ing. 1t is supposed that some hot
Goals dropped from the stove TO the
floor. The flames spread with great
rapidity and within ten minutes after
the discovery Of the fire the theater
was beyond saving.
Occupants of the building and en-
ployes of the thcater were driven to
the street in such haste that in the
excitement three women were over
come. Before the fire was eNtin.
guishcd the following were injured:
Francis Miller.
John Burns, fireman.
John Courtney, policeman.
Mary Ellis.
Mrs. Mary Robinson.
The losses are distributed as fol-
lows;
Columbia Theatcr Amusement com
pany, of Chicago, owncr of the build
ing, $685. 900; Klaw d. Erlanger, pro-
prictors of the Rogers Bros. COM

S $1,000; Bclleville Medical Institute,
$1,000; miscellaneous losses, $1,000; to-
tai, $3.50, 600.
A company owned by Klaw d Err
LANCER, of New York, and Rogers
Bros company, representing Rogers
Bros, in Wall street, was playing an
engagement in the theater. The fire
interrupted the progress of the Ie-
hearsal, and twenty ome and men
in costume were driven to the street
in haste. They took refuge in n
neighboring saloon, while others went
i'm search of suitable clothing for
them.
The early part of the fire was
marked with gallant rescues of girls
employed in the laundry of the lro-
quois club, where the flames started.
Two firemen climbed the fire escape to
the sixth floor and carried two women,
who had grown hystcrical, TO a place
of safety. Tho others were escorted
down the stairway through the blind
ing smoke.
A few minutes after the discovery
of the fire the roof of the building
fell with n crash, and TO many 1T
sounded like n great explosion. The
collapse caused Il general stampede
among the spectators, and in the rush
several were slightly injured. Later
when the cornice of the front of the
building fell several firemen had mar
row escapes.
The insurance upon the thcater
amounts to 100000, and all other
losses are also protected.
The columbia thcater was built by
j. II. Haverly a short time after the
Chicago fire, and after 1t passed from
his hands i'm 1888 it was rechristened
the Columbia by Ellen Terry at the
time of her first appearance in Chi
cago with Sir Henry Irving.
The Iroquois club, whose home was
destroyed, is the largest democratic
club i'm Illinois, and has among it's
members many of the prominent dem.
ocrats of Chicago.

Months TO Change Flags.
Washington, April 2.-Secretary
Hay and Duke d'Arco, the Spanish
minister, have signed "a protocol ex-
tending for six months the period of
time allowed Spanish residents in the
Philippine islands TO elect whether
they shall remain Spanish subjects or
surrender their allegiance and adopt
the nationality of the territory in
which they reside.
The article in the Paris treaty bear
ing on this subject allowed the Span

treaty within which to make their
choice. That period expires on the
18th Of next month.

tied as to warrant the Spanish resi-
dents in hesitating in making an cleo.
ton in this important matter.
Many important towns in Luzon,
where Spanish subjects reside, are as
yet without American garrisons and
the assertion Of American sovereignty
over them has been rather technical
than practical, while on many of the
Philippine islands no American troops
or representatives of the American
government have ever landed. These
considerations are deemed sufficient
to warrant the extension TO the Span
ish residents of more time in which to
make I'D their mind as TO their future.
1t may be, too, that the Spanish resi-
dents in these islands desire TO avoid
making a choice until there has been
some authority and final determine
ton i'm the United States of the exact
status of citizens in the insular pos
sions of the United States.

Lycurgus, the venerable law-maker
had some excellent ideas about mar.
riage, and one Of his laws provided
that women should not have marriage
portions. The reason for this decree
was that women should be chosen for
themselves alone and the law was
made to prevent young women from
being chosen for their riches or neg
lected for their poverty.
