story of the Fanatic When Hard
Pressed For a Few Dollars.
A well known Chicago lawyer, who was
In the city recently, told curious story
one evening while chatting in the lobby
Of the Grunewald. II will not be too GER
tain of the date Of this incident" said he,
ssbut one afternoon, in either 1873 or
1879, l was sitting in my Office, rather
busy, as / remember, when In walked an
odd looking, brisk little man, who asked
for few moments interview in private.
He was decently dressed in black, but
there was something about him, l don't
know what, that Immediately excited my
curiosity. l led him into the back room,
and, without wasting any time, he came
at once to the point. I am lawyer he
said, as nearly as can remember his ex-
act words, and my home is in Buffalo.
Bad health broke up my practice and
forced me to go to California last year,
and am now on my way back, much inn
proved, but have run out of money and
find myself stranded here in Chicago.
Will you lend me enough to buy ticket
on a cheap excursion train that leaves for
Buffalo this evening? The amount will
be returned he added, before the close Of
the week

only by his request, but by the matter Of
fact manner in which he preferred 1t.
But why in the world do you apply to

have no earthly interest in your affairs.

piled, and believe in special Providence.
1t is absolutely necessary for me to Sc
cure this assistance from somebody, and
In passing your door few moments ago

you to lend me the money on faith pure

forward fashion that impressed me with
its truth" continued the lawyer, land,
acting on one of those fantastic impulses
that occasionally seize the most level
headed of us, / stuck my hand in my
pocket and gave him the sum he wanted.
He thanked me quietly, took memoran-
dunn Of my name and address and was
about to write his own when | stopped
him and remarked that as long as it was
purely a faith transaction any data of
that kind would be highly superfluous.

STRIKE AT A FUNERAL.

Union Hackmen Tie Last Sad
Rites' Procession in San Fran
cisco.
Out OF the struggle between the
union and non. union hack drivers oil
San Francisco has come unique,
and in some If its phases, distress
ing condition OF affairs. Virtually,
there is an embargo. on sceb Tuner
ais, and its enforcement has resulted
in the tying-up of twenty two non
union burials within the last two
weeks and in the delay aud disturb
ance OF many others.
The union. which was organized
about two months ago, originated
among the independent drivers, men
who own or lease their hacks, and
are in business for themselves, says
Organized Labor.
In order to force in the outsiders
the union decided two weeks ego to
refuse to participate in funerals
where non-union men appeared on
the box. Whenever a mag outside
the fold was seen occHPying the
drivers seat at funeral, he was told
to get out unless he was willing TO
join the union and to pay mis- dues
on the spot, and the undertaken in
charge was warned that il the OBJ
lection was not removed, the union
hacks would draw out of the solemn
procession. In cases where the
funeral directors have been obstin-
ate, trouble has generally followed.
As a result, there was great acces-
sion to the ranks of the organiza-
ton at its last meeting, Thursday
night CAST week) both independent
and attached men coming in whole
sale. The only large body of men
now outside are those OF the United
Carriage Company, the largest en-
ployer of drivers in the city.
Certain undertakers who are care
less about ascertaining the status of
men driving hacks employed by
them have been in hot water every
time they took charge of funeral.
Perhaps the longest tie.up occurred
at the funeral of w. II. Virgins, Jr.,
held at the parlors OF q Powell
street undertaken on Tuesday, the
9th January. While the services were
going on inside, it was discovered
that there were four non-union
hacks in the procession. Two of
these were allowed TO stay after the
drivers had promised to join the
union. The drivers OF the other
two vehicles remaining obstinate,
were sent away, and two more hacks
were summoned by telephone. The
mourners waited just one hour, and
five minutes after the end OF the
ceremony before the march TO the
grave began.

YUKON CONSPIRACY
Canadian Government Official
Tells OF Alleged Plot to
Seize Government.
Plan Was to Take the Gold and
Forward II to the Beers
in South Africa.
The Safe and Papers OF the Con
spirators Seized on Am.
erican Territory.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov pa Yukon
Canadian government official of high
standing arrived on the steamship
Amur from the north yesterday. He
tells straight story regarding the al
legged conspiracy in Yukon, and is on his
way to Ottawa to put the facts before
the Canadian government. He is the
man who was mixed up IN the flag Incl
dent in Dawson recently.
He says that it has been known for
some time that some sort of conspira-
CIV was on foot, and certain information
secured by secret service detectives
convinces the authorities that stop
should be put to matters at once. as an
attempt was being made to get in 1000
sympathizers and desperate characters
from Puget Sound. 1t was ascertained
where the private papers OF the conspir-
ators were deposited In Skaguay, and
these papers were seized by the cana
dian authorities, but, according to the
informant of the correspondent, the
American authorities would not allow
the Canadian officers to take possession
of the papers. as they were seized IN
American territory. The safe in which
the papers are locked, however. has
been sealed and the American officials
are holding it until the matter can be
adjusted between the two governments.
The papers disclose the plot but as
they were not closely examined it APP
pears that the plan of the pro-Boers or
Fenians. or whatever it may be, is yet
hair int bon =
ly to raise an army of 1000 from the
sound cities and Yukon and seize the
banks and mines and take possession of
Dawson The idea was not to attempt
to hold the British Yukon against all
corners. but they relied upon the fact
that there would be some international
difficulties of passing British troops
over American territory at Skaguay.
and they would have three weeks to lay
their plans, dispense and scatter into
the states.
The money and gold seized was to be
sent to South Africa to help the Beers
against England. The names of all the
ringleaders are In possession OF the gov
eminent. but they are now in American
territory and no arrests have been
made. The Canadian government is
striving to devise some means to pre-
vent the growth Of Fenianism in the
Yukon. AT present there Is in the 4u-
kon a large section who bitterly hate
Britain and resent what they claim are
it's encroachments in the Yukon. Many
they thought they could do violence to
British institutions and escape from
British vengeance.
AT present. altho the scare is over.
Maxim guns control the highway at
White Horse and police are doing dou-

Husking corn is the most urgent work
of the farmer today. In this vicinity the
yield is not large, probably averaging
twenty-five bushels to the acre. While
the yield is not what 1t has been in for
mer seasons. the price more than COM
pensates for the shortage. 1t is fact
that our farmers never felt so good over
a drought as they are feeling at the
