victoria's Record Surpassed.

From the London Chronicle
Wonderful as was the record Of the de-
scendants of Queen Victoria, who, at the
time of her death, had seventy-four sur
viving, in point Of number. at any rate, it
falls short Of that Of one of the most illus
trious Of her subjects and oldest Of her
friends, the Duchess Dowager of Aber-
corn. This venerable lady who. by the
way, will enter upon her ninetieth year on
July g. has no less than 12S descendants
living at the present time. A contrast or a
comparison may prove Interesting.
The queen had nine children, of whom
six survive.
The duchess has had fourteen children,
of whom nine survive.
The queen had forty grandchildren. of
whom thirty-one survive.
The duchess has had sixty-two grand
children, Of whom fffty-seven survive.
The queen had thirty-seven greatgrand-
children, of whom thirty-seven survive.
The duchess has siXty-two surviving
greatgrandchildren, which bring up the
sum total Of her living descendants to 12S.
No less than four of these are or will be
dukes; the Duke of Abercorn is her son
the Duke Of Marlborough, a grandson; an
other grandson, the Earl of Dalkeith, is
heir apparent to the dukedom of Buccleugh;
" lille. in all human probability, son OF
her granddaughter. Lady Evelyn Cayen-
dish will one day be Duke Of Deyonshire.

islcititiifg Sid, Dog, Reindeer and Other kinds-A Skating Contest a0d . Display of Fireworks-Frizes for Winners in Various Contests.

A.movement is on js5ot which has, .for its object the. l>s-uing of an ice carnival e,n Chri.crrlas day. A number of gent @-selEen are interesting themselves in the Q project and they are said to be meeting with agood deel.of encouragement. [ Details of tho plan have net been completed as yet, but the lebration will include dog races, reindeer races, iarrdsled races. ski races, skating contest and other features with prob ably a grand disIlay of fireworks. It has been suggested that an ice cabin I. se built, the place selected for the z scarairal to be on the ice in Snake river above Geiger's bridge where the river makes a big bend.
 It claimed that first class arena could be made there with comparatively little trouble. Should the proposed carnival assume definite shape prizes will be arranged for to be aiven the winners in the various contests.
 The idea is certainly good one and should be pushed along If concerted actiOn-be taken success would be as Sured

Three Cases of Salvation.

Julius Falet, native woman who lived with him as his wife, and a man named Boyer, who have been living in a cabin on No. 10, Dexter, were sali- vated about two weeks ago, Falet and the woman quite badly, while Boyer escaped comparatively unharmed. Fa- let is in the city hospital, and his wo- man is at the military hospital at Fort Davis. Fumes from an old stove which last summer was used for retorting pur- poses, was probably the cause of the,ill- ness of Falet and the woman. Both victims are now rapidly recovering.

Whiskey Discovered in Cave.

Nothing too good for the patrons of | Board of Trade. Just received bar | rels of MoOnshine corn whiskey that was made in 1870 by Harris Tyson in the Blue Ridge mountain district of North Carolina and being made contrary to law was hid in a cave to prevent the government from collecting the rev. enue. He stored 300 barrels in this cave. Some ten years later he was killed by a revenue officer and the whiskey was forgotten, until 1900 when his son, Harris Tyson, Jr., discovered the entrance to this cave and entered for half mile when he was attracted by a very pleasant OdOY. Having a desire to locate the OdOr he continued a little further where he discovered a pile of half decayed slaves and iron hoops and short distance ahead he came to a small lake and on examining it he found it to be whiskey. It had been put up in barrels with iron hoops which had rusted and broke and let the whiskey out and it formed this lake. He immediately set up a distill- cry aad refined the whiskey. getting only 90 barrels out of the original 300. It is as pure as whiskey can be made, being made from white flint corn and pure mountain water and has never passed through the hands of any Jew. rectifier or wholesale dealers. Try it straight or as hot tOddy and you will say it is the proper thing. We also handle Duff Gordon Sherry, vintage 1885; o.

Surprising a Case.

Surprising a swarm of Mohammedan
missionaries should enter this country
and announce their intention of spread
ing the only true Gospel. Supposing,
in the furtherance Of this mission,
they should go into the highways and
byways, seeking to convert all.
especially those who held the Christian
faith. Surprising they should cast
reproaeh ON many OF our previous
traditions, ridieule our customs,
criticise our ways of living, complain
of our laws, treat with contempt and
disdain our officials and public men
and assume by every means possible a
naughty superiority over our own
people. Suppose they should succeed
in obtaining converts, especially among
the low and ignorant classes, and by
this means array one portion of our
people against the other. Suppose
they should live in ease and aflluence,
supported by means contributed from
Mussulman centers of Asia, building
elaborate mosques, finished better than
our churches. Suppose the movement
should grow until it threatened to
subvert Christianity and make Amer
lea Islam.
Suppose also that Turkey and
Arabia and India were powerful
sovereign nations and should come to
us first with fair faces and promises,
