While the first stone of Cologne Cathedral
was laid on August 15. 124S and the body of
the edifice was not opened until August Is,
1S4S. 600 years later to the very day, It
was not, however, until August Is, 1880,
that the splendid structure was finally re-
ported completed, having thus occupied in
building the record time of exactly 634
years.
The castle Of Kingsgoberg, which stands
at the southern extremity Of Jutland, took

The War Betvixt Man and Beast.
From Chambers Journal.

From India there come once moro the
official figures relating to the casualties"
caused in the constant war which prevails
there between man and beast. We are
happily situated in this country in being
able to look back upon such a struggle as
a thing of the past; but in our eastern de-
tendency destructive animals still claim
their annual tribute Of human blood. In
the past year more than 12S,OOO animals
we're killed. and rewards claimed for their
slaughter; and during the same period 25,-
166 men, women and children met their
death through TOOTH claw and the poison
of snakes. To this terrible tale of human
suffering must be added nearly 10000 do
nestle animals which were killed by the
same agencies. We thus that the loss
Of life is about equal on both sides. 1t Is in
teresting to see how the deaths are appor-
toned among the wild beasts. First comes
the terrible man-eating tiger, which is re-
sponsible for 927 victims: the wolves come
next, with a total Of 1852. while the leopard
claims 1874. Under the heading "Other Wild
Beasts are computed 1,4S2 human deaths.
The rest of the grand total, no fewer than
q 800 items of this terrible death list, are
set down to snake bite 1t 10 almost futile
to expect any great reduction In the annual
loss Of life from poisonous snakes for the
natives will never kill one Of these Great

A Tip for Smugglers.
From the London Telegraph,


American women going home for the fall
have one terrible bugbear to face-the GUS
tom house people at the other side. Time
was when If they wore their new London
and Paris clothes they could pass them on
their return. Now, alas. all imported gar
ments are taxed. except In cases where the
wearer has been In Europe for years. Only
800 worth is allowed. and that would not
cover the gloves of dressy American. A
device has been thought out which may
work all right. but cannot be recommended
on the ground of its honesty. A clever
maid sent home for all the tabs bearing
the American dressmakers' and tailors
names and addresses on her mistress old
clothes and sewed them over those of the
Londoners and Parisians who made the
new garments Suppose this little strata
gem does succeed. 1t Is certain that the
names Of the London and Partisan artists
will reappear on the clothes when they are
displayed to their owners circle Of feminine
friends and acQuaintancos.

South Sea whitehall.
From Forest and Stream.

For a few days In each year, and always

Thames whitehall and. better favored.
The natural history of the fish is OBJ
scure. It seems to be the fry of some fish.
for when taken many have the yelk sac
still attached to them. The first that Is
known of 1t Is when schools appear in the
mouths of rivers. The river mouths at all
seasons Of the tide seem fairly alive with
the multitudes Of FISH not an inch long,
but all swimming and 4eaping under the
impulse of the instinct to- ascend the fresh
water streams. Then they are caught SIM
ply by sinking piece of cloth In the water
and lifting 1t by its four corners at once.
A square of cloth six feet each way will
hold at an ordinary draAght half bushel
of the fish. which the Samoans and many
other islanders know under the name sin
anga." During the few days they are run
ming they are taken by millions without d.
minishing the schools nIthe least. Enor-
nous numbers of them are known to pass
up the streams. but once past the bar at
the river mouth they disappear from sight
and all knowledge. Even in the height Of
their return they sare,s not seen in the
streams above the mouth, yet they are

west. Apia harbor has two streams de-
bouching into it. Not more than half a
mile separates the two, yet the school be-
gins to run in the Vaisingano three days
before 1t makes Its appearances in the Mu-
Hvai, which lies to the westward.
In native cookery they are wrapped in
banana leaves and steamed for a short
time But the catchers eat them raw with
great avidity.

A LAND OF GOLD
Lincoln Fowler's Faith in Nome's
 Future.

Lincoln Fowler, who has lately re- faith in the broad gold fields vaguely described by Nome" but which ex- tend over a territory as large in extent as all Arizona north of the Salt river. Ina: is, it is about 300 miles long and from 100 to 15O miles wide.
 MT. Fowler presents some interesting figures regarding the work of the past season.
 The population of Nome at it's great est last summer, was about 25,000. It was made up of the 5000 persons al ready there, about, 5000 from Dawson, and those who went in on the rush from the states. The greater part of the rush" went out as precipitately as it went in. Within a month half of it, consisting of clerks type-writers and other uninformed classes. was gone. For instance, the Zealandia, which carried up 1,OO6 passengers, brought down 1,G80 on her return trip. The mining, gambling and all other business conducted in and about Nome, employed not more than 10000 or 12,C0O
 
 number was engaged in construction work, of making roads and preparation for the next seasons operations. It isI estimated that not more than 5000 were actually engaged in mining, yet the output for the season was S5000, OO0.
 The work began from the grass roots and all of this gold was found few inches below the surface, and perhaps none of it at a greater depth than six feet. The operations may be described as primitive and only preliminary. Mir. Fowler believes the output for the next season will not fall below s15,0O0.- 000 He does not think there will be any rush. Those who go to Nome will generally be active miners and busi- ness men, who go for a definite pur- DOSe.

White of Cochise.

fir White of Ccchise He even threatened to return to Tombstone and beat the sheriff for renomination. He otherwise kept himself in touch with the world by giving receptions to newspaper reporters. The last bulle- tin from Alvord was sent from the neighborhood of Casa Grande, a little more than three months ago. About Vnat time Stiles was captured by Char ley Hood. to whom it is suspected he had written to come out and get him. Two motives for the killing of Alvord by Stiles have been suEges ed. One is that Stiles. having got tired cf wan derina about the country. determined to surrender and was afraid of Alvord. The oihei. is that Stiles was desirous of becoming the sole proprietor Of the uIacaads of the Cochisa robbery. which they had cached somewhere and thac having killed him, he surrendered. hop ing to make his peace with the out raged law by telling all he knew, as he had done once before. The govern ment. however had lost faith in Stiles, and he is now at Yuma for safe-1eep- ing. Bravo Juan. the third member of the gang, also dropped out Of sight, and it was suspected that he, too. had been murdered.
 The Cochise train robbery was com rnitted more than a year ago. It was a bold and successful performance and it is said that the bandits secured a large sum of money. The authorities were puzzled by the suddenness with which the trail of the robbers was lost. and Alvord himself joined in the fruftless hunt. There wGs not the slightest clue for months and perhaps there never would have been any but for an unsud1essful attempt to hold up a train at Fairbanks early last spring. One of the robbers was shot by Messenger J. D. Milton, after ha himself had been snot. A couple Of days later the wounded robber was found dying He was the notorious Three Fingered Jack. Just as he was leaving the world in great bodily az cny. l-a gave out the information impli- eating AIvord, Stiles. Matt BurGs Bravo Juan and the Bowen brothers.
 All of them were captured. Burts was overtaken in Wyoming. In the meantime Stiles had turned against his companions. and was assisting Wells, Fargo's detectives in gathering them up.
 On the day that Buvts was talLen to Tombstone, and while a deputy sheriff had him at a restaurant before locking him up, Stiles went to the ja.i, and af- ter shooting the jailer. George Bravin, liberated Alvord and Bravo Juan They tried to iniuce the Haldermans, who are to be hanged tomorrow, to go with them. They not only declined, but assisted the wounded jailer, and prevented the escape of other prison CTS.

DR. ROSS RAN RIOT
Mrs. Stanford Will G i've the UDiver- sity Some Personal Attention. A Rupture With President David Starr JoYdan Threate ned-There Will Be No More Freak Doctrines Taught at Palo Alto.

Stanford University, Nov. 14.-Tie resignation of Dr. Ross, head of the department of sociology in tEel uni verslty, has caused considerable eX- citement among the faculty and stu dents. Dr. Ross explanation of the affair is that remarks made by him on the Chinese immigration, the owner ship of public utilities and silver ques- tions gave offanse to Mrs. Stanford, who. he intin;ates, was influenced by pressure brought to bear by certain in terests in San Francisco. Just what these interests are he says he does not know. Mrs. Stanford wrote from Eu- rope requesting him to resign, but his resignation was rendered before the letter arrived.
 There is a positive rumor here, from a source which is believed to be relia- ble that for a long time past Mrs. Stan ford has been dissatisfied, not only with Professor Ross but with Dr. Jor- dan himself, for his radical ideas on evolution. There seems to be little reason for doubting that there has been friction between Dr. Jordan and Mrs. Stanford, and it is rumored that the latter proposes to asNert her con- trol over the university. President Jordan declines to discuss the matter.
