Slowly Dying OF Starvation.

Tacoma, Wash, November 1l.-Mrs.
James Smith, just returned from Cook
Inlet, Alaska, says that fully half Of the
thousand Indians of that section, COM
prsng five tribes, are slowly dying of
starvation. The influx of white prospcc-
tors has resulted in the killing off Of
much game, with the result that the In
dians arc deprived of flesh for food and
furs for clothing They dried salmon
last summer, but not enough to last
through tho season, and winter finds
400 to 800 of them without enough food
to last until December. Mrs. Smith, who
is a wealthy miners wife, divided her
stock Of provisions with the destitute
Indians, and now appeals for further aid.
Most of these Indians belong to the Rus
sian church, but it is powcrlcss to help
them. Unless provisions arc scnt by
steamer at once, she says, hundreds will
surely die.
While living at Gray IIarbor, eight
years ago, Mrs. Smith, then Mrs. Martha
White, swan into the surf and rescued
three shipwreckcd sailors from drown
ing, for which Congress voted her medal.

Deaths Doings.
BURLINGAME.

ELvIRA BURLINGAME, aged 69 years,
died at the family residence at Sizer.
vile, Friday evening, Jan. 10Th, 1900,
after a protracted illness. Although
Mrs. Burlingame had been seriously ill
for some time she was not at the time
of her death considered in precarious
condition. The call came very sud-
denly and she passed to the other
shore to meet the loved ones gone
before.
Deceased was a daughter of one of
the earliest settlers on the Portage,
Hiram and Polly Sizer, and was married
to Delos Burlingame Jan. 24th, 1855
To them six children were born, Sidney
the eldest son having died several
years ago. The remaining members of
the family lett to console the bereaved
husband are Miss Verne, at home; H.
D., of Emporium; B. N, who resides in
Chicago, and Elmer, who is at attend
ing school at West Chester; Mrs. G. H.
Sage, Johnsonburg.
Mrs. Burlingame was one of those
wives and mothers who lived almost
wholly for the comfort and happiness
of her family. She was an economical
manager and her great care is seen in
and around their beautiful home
where she so loved to pass her days,
for it was there she first saw the light
of day and continually resided in the
same home until the day of her death
In their early days the family were
surrounded by the crude society char
acteristic of numbering community,
her motherly influence gave her rea-
son, as she always had, and justly too,
to be proud of her family.
The funeral took place on Monday
at two O'Clock, at Sizerville, Rev.
Shriner, of Emporium M. E. church,
officiating. The Rev. gentleman de-
livered one of his eloquent sermons to
the bereaved family and large circle of
sympathizing friends. A choir COM
posed of some of Emporium's best
singers, furnished the singing. The
funeral was very largely attended,
many from Emporium being in at
tendance. Interment in Sizerville
cemetery.
The following relatives and friends
from abroad were present: B. n.
Burlingame, Chicago; Mr.. and Mrs. G.
H. Sage, Johnsonburg; Elmer Burlin-
game, West Chester; Mr.. and Mrs. II.
d. Burlingame, Emporium; Mrs. L. r.

Theatrical Circuit.

Geo. H. Verbeck, manager of the
Armstrong Opera House, Johnson
burg, Pa, and the Opera Honse, Kane,
Pa, will next season have a circuit
of five or six good towns, which
will include new theatre in Punxsu-
tawney, which will be built early in
the Spring, and be ready to open in
September. 1t will be built on Main
street, in the business part of the town
and be a modern up-to-date house in
every particular. Manager Verbeck
will also have new theatre in Kane
for next season, and at present is
figuring on new house to be built at
st. Marys, Pa, which is good live
town, and without any kind of place
of amusement whatever This will
give Manager Verbeck a good circuit
of towns, with short railroad jumps
Exchange. What's the matter with
Emporium? This is conceded to be
the best show town between Warren
and Williamsport and we hope Man
ager Verbeck will include us in his
circuit.

Burgess S. G. McElwain delivered
the address of welcome at the farmers
institute. DR.. r. P. Heilman, of EN-
porium, responded.
A letter received from John It. Earl
on Tuesday says in part: "Mother,
who has been i'll for three months was
taken worse and is very low. Her
heart is SO weak that the doctor has
grave fears that she cannot rally. She
seems some better to-day and we hope
for the best" Mrs. Earl's many
friends here would be glad to hear of
her complete recovery.
"Mose Carpenter says: Yes no.
ticed that scores of the up river farm
ers came to the institute and Dragged
about this being a successful year for
them in all agricultural pursuits and
yet many of them did not raise corn
enough to fatten their hogs, and they
have already commenced to haul bailed
hay from the big store. Some of these
so-called farmers ought to be arrested
for false pretense.
