Another Pathetic oase.

II will be remembered that late In
the winter a large family by the name
of Kidd, recently from Arkansas, we're
found sick and very destitute, They
were then taken to the poor farm
where they we're properly cared for
until they are now all well, except the
father of the family who died The
family have now received help from
friends or relatives In Idaho, who will
give them n new start, Transporta
tion has been sent, and II IS sincerely
TO be hoped that the future may have
such bright things in store for them
that their doleful stay here may be for
gotten. They were In sore distress
when ID was discovered, and were too
proud to ask for assistance, II has
been q matter Of regret that they
could not have been helped sooner II
was pathetic incident for these pros
porous times.

a RUSH ToR CAPE NOME.
Thousands are RageT 20 start for
the Gold Fields.

Seattle, Wash, April 3O.--The formA
al rush TO the gold fields of Cape
Nome has commenced. The steameE
Jennie, OF the Pacific Steam Whaling
Company, the first steamer to start
on the trip this year, has left with
eighty passengers and 400 tons of
freight from this port and expects
TO be one OF the first to reach Nome
when the obstructing ice has broken
up, For the last several weeks peo-
pie hay1 been arriving here by the
hundreds to get ready to make the
northwnrd rip. The steamship Off
ces have been crowded with appll-
cants for berths and freight room,
and many Of the companies have
been refusing passengers for several
weeks, II is cOnserVntiyely stated
that there Nre not more than 200
tickets available on all the stenm-
ers that are scheduled to leave here
In May, and most Of the freight room
has all been sold, This means that
all OF those wishing TO go TO Nome,
except those who secure The few
''l'llN WV llWHl Ntlll Nlllll lllf JUNO
sallngs, unless they embark on sail
ing craft, which are leaving this port
at the rate Of two u day, and have
been doing so for the Inst week, The
most conservative estimates of the
traffic TO Nome this year, based on
actual returns, show that 5,s3s per-
sons have already engaged passage
FOR the first samngs Of the twenty
five steamships and that these ves-
sells have already contracted for $4,000
tons Of merchandise in their cargoes.
Taking the average charge Of 500 per
passenger and $40 Il ton for freight,
and II Is seen that the steamships
will gct n total gross revenue dur
ing next month OF $l5G1 800. The
net registered tonnage Of the steam
ers to sail neSt month Is 25,G52 tons,
or quarter Of the entire tonnage
departing for Alaska last year, The
value Of the freight booked for the
May snilings, estimated at 500 ton,
which is u conservative figure, will
be $2,522, 500
