SCHOOLBOY FARTHEST NORTH.
A Little Eskimo Is Being Educated
at Point BARROW, Alaska, by
the Government.

This picturesque little Eskimo pos
sesses unusual interest from the fact
that he is one of Uncle Sans most
northern schoolboys. His school
house is located at Point Barrow,
Alaska, and stands on the most
northern portion of land on the
American continent and marks the end
of civilization in the arctic regions,
says the Chicago Chronicle The site
was recently selected by the United
States bureau of education for a
school. The government has also es-
tablished refuge station here for
the wintering of the ship-wrecked
sailors of the whaling fleets. The
school next to Uppernavak, Green
land. is the most northern mission in
the world. 1t is securely built of
huge logs, having double walls to Sc
cure warmth against the intense arc
tic cold The daily attendance at the
mission varies from Is to 100, depend
ing on the conditions of travel, as
many of the children come on dog
and reindeer sleds from points 25 to
IS miles distant. Lamps are re-
uuired in the schoolhouse during the
long, dark arctic night, which extends
from November to February. The
weather ranges from 27 to AZ below
zero. The teachers at Point Barrow
are completely isolated from the out
side world; only once year the cur
tain is lifted, and they receive their
annual supplies, letters, papers, ETC.,
by the revenue cutter Bear. The
teachers announce that they never
had more quickly intelligent pupils
than the wild Eskimos of the north.

THE RAILWAY "JIGGER."
A Device Now Used in London to Pres
vent the Overcrowding
of Cars.

Putting more passengers into q
railway car than it can seat is not
purely American custom. OF late
there has been good deal of com
plant by business men coming into
London from the suburbs on steam
roads that the carriages are over
crowded. And in self-defense few
of the passengers have recently
made use of simple mechanical
means to exclude those whom they
regard as intruders.
1t should be borne in mind that
railway carriages abroad differ ma
teriaIly from those in this country
in their interior arrangements. The
seats are arranged crosswise, two in
q compartment, and the passengers
enter through door on the side.
A seat will accommodate only three
or four persons. The seats face each
other, and are nearer together than
those of an American street car. If
anyone enters and stands between
the seats he causes as much incon-
venience as if he were to stand be-
tween passengers who occupy the
cross seats in New York elevated
railway car. No wonder that John
Bull rebels!
The London Mail declares that in
order to prevent the invasion of their
compartments when the train stops
at intermediate stations many sub
urban passengers employ what is
called digger" This is a slender
rod of metal, long enough to serve
us a crossbar to the doorway, and
bent at the ends so as to fasten read
lily to the casing. Some jiggers are
of more elaborate construction than
others, but they are built primarily
| for usefulness, not ornament. Occa-
sionally the owners leave them be-
hind on arrival, and the superintend-
ent of one of the railways has accu-
INFLATED a considerable number OF
them in consequence.
For one passenger forcibly to eject
another after the latter is once in
would not be lawful. But it is said
that the English courts sanction the
employment of peaceful methods to
exclude superfluous travellers.

FROM DEATHS DOOR.

Hilisdale, H., April 2oth.-Much in
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
in a dying condition for several
months with an apparently incurable
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron,
Geneseo, and Davenport, Ia, had at
tended him, and in consultation de-
cided that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr.. l.. f. Giles, local druggist, as
to last resort. Mr. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk of the neigh
hood. and is considered nothing short
of miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such
as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and
Dropsy, yield readily to its remark
able influence. These forms of
Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto
been considered incurable, and have
hatfield all medical skill, and yet, this
new ,~nedy has cured every single
case IN which it has been USED, in
this neighborhood. The doctors
themselves are amazed at the won
derful work Dodds Kidney Pills are
accomplishing in Rock Island County.

supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven

therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Peruna puts right all the mucous

If it is the stomach that is out of or

If the nerves Jingle, if the brain is
tired, if the strength is tagging and
the circulation of blood weakened by

spot at once by giving to these MEM

belongs to them.
The pelvic organs are also lined with
mucous membrane which in the female
sex is especially liable to derange-

in these cases. The women everywhere
are praising it. No other remedy has
ever received such unqualified praise
from such a multitude of women

Migrants "with story" Are Frauds.

The majority of the "men with a

A BANK ROBBER
 COMMITS SUICIDE
Rather Than Serve Penitentiary Sentence Frank Rutledge
 Jumps from BaIustrade

Toronto, Ont, June 7.-Rather than go to the penitentiary to serve a twenty-one years sentence for the robbery of bank in Aurora, Ont, Frank Rutledge today committed suicide by jumping over the ballustrade encircling a gallery in the jail. He fell thirty feet, striking his head on the stone floor and fracturing his skull.
 Fred L. Rice and Rutledge. who with Thos. Jones, were implicated in the Aurora bank robbery, were today sentenc- ed to twenty-one years In the Kingston penitentiary. While jail guards were talk ing Rutledge and Rice to dinner the former suddenly sprang away from the guards, ran swiftly up the steps to the gallery and without a moments hesita- ton jumped over the railing to the stone haging below. He died tonight without re- gaining consciousness The suicide, which is the last of a series of sensational inci- dents connected with the arrest of the three robbers leaves Rice to serve out the penitentiary sentence alone. Jones died from bullet wounds received in the desperate attempt of the prisoners to es- cape from Constable Boyd and his aides Tuesday night as the officers were con veying the prisoners to jail in a carriage. Ii the shooting which followed the throw ing of three pistols into the carriage by an accomplice of the robbers, Constable Boyd was instantly killed.

Says i Was Not Intended to Establish a PrOtectOTate That Would Injure Cuba WAS MERELY A SAFEGUARD Intended to Set Forth Clearly the Idea That the United States Enter
 tained Friendly Disposition
 Tow5Td Cuba.

Washington, June 7.-During the confer ence between Secretary Root and the Cuban commission the secretary wrote a letter to Senator sraatt of Connecticut, who introduced the Platt amendmen, ask ing for his views relative to intervention as mentioned in the third clause of the amendment. Senator Platt replied and his letter was furnished the commission confidentially by the secretary of war, and was incorporated into and made part of the acceptance of the Platt amendment by the constitutional convention. The letter, however, appeared in Havana paper to- day and was made public by the war de- partment. The text of the letter follows;
 q am in receipt of your letter of this date in which you say that the members of the commission of the Cuban constitu- tional convention fear that the provisions relative to intervention made in the third clause of he amendment which has come to bear my name may have the effect of preventing the independence of Cuba and in reality establish protectorate or suzerainty by the United States, and you request that express my views of the question raised.
 Tn reply I beg to state that the amend ment was carefully prepared with the object of avoiding any possible idea that by the acceptance thereof the constitu- tional convention would thereby establish a protectorate or suzerainty or in any manner whatsoever compromise the in- dependence or sovereignty { Cuba; and, speaking for myself, it see. .s impossible that such an interpretation can be given to the clause I believe that the amend ment should be considered as whole and it ought to be clear on reading 1t that it's well defined purpose is to secure and safe guard Cuban indetta4 deitcA. and set forth at once clear ideo, of the friendly dis position of the United States toward the Cuban people and to express intention on their part to aid them if necessary, in the maintainance of said independence. These are my ideas and although, as you say, I cannot speak for the entire Congress, my belief is that such a purpose was well understood by that body. Very respect fully yours,

It was feared for time the attack might prove fatal, but Dr. Unger, the prisoner, after an hours work. finally succeeded in reviv- ing MT. McDannold.

The fact that there were no jurors at the inquest Wecl<ler explained by saying that the girls death appeared to have been a natural9one and in order not to delay his witnesses. as the jurors were slow in com ing, he took the part of jury himself and substituted names out of his own head to fill up the report.

FRED GRANT TALKS.
Says AguinaIdo Has Lost His influence
 and Should Receive Contempt.

New York, June 7.--Gen Fred D. Grant was given a reception tonight by the U. s. Grant Post, Grand Army of the Repub- lie. In brief address General Grant said:
 "Aguinaldo was not as much of cap ture in the Philippines as he seemed to have been here. To tell the truth he had lost about all his influence. We do not treat him as if we considered him of much importance. We cannot kill him, of course, but we want to make him feel that he stands in the same footing with any other Filipino. I think that if we should fine him $10 and then send him to jail for thirty days and set him to breaking rock it would be better for him and for ourselves. If, when he comes over here, we treat him with con tempt he will be treated with contempt by the natives when he goes home. But if oyer there they get the idea that we have high idea of Aguinaldo's impor- tance when he gets back he will have a following which will make us trouble"
 General Grant said that the friars were much hated and were very corrupt, The Philippine Commission he said, desired to treat the friars the same as any per- sons with no other consideration and with no less.

Lexington, Ky Suffers Great Damage from Flames That
 Rage for Two Hours

Lexington, Ky, June 1.-The Dots coop CT shop burned this afternoon and the fire communicated to other buildings so rapidly that it was feared for some time that the city would be laid in ashes. The fire was beyond control from 2 to 4. p. m. Twenty-three houses, mostly tenemeflts, were totally destroyed with their con- tents. The loss approximates sS0,00 Only about one-third of the property was in- sured.
 St. Joseph hospital was at one time threatened. The citizens rushed in great numbers to rescue the inmates, but their services were not needed, as the fire de- partment cut off communication of the flames with the hospital. Paris, George town and Versailles were called on for aid and all held their departments in readiness, but they were not needed At o'clock the flames were under control. All three of the city departments ire apparatus were at work.
 The homeless were well cared for to- night Three other calls were made for the department in other parts of the city while the flames were raging. but the damage in each instance was trivial One man was hurt and one child was seriously burned but no lives were lost.
