WELL DONE.

The action of the Skagway Cham Der of Commerce in appropriating its tIeas- ury, and that of individual n embers in going down into their pockets to make up deficiency of a sum required to insure good steamer serN ice between Skagway and Haines, is in every way commtndable and worthy of an organi- zation that has done a great deal to ad vance the Alaskan metropolis It Is such enterprise as the Chamber O Commerce exhibited Friday night that builds cities. It will be by manifesting just such a disposition when future problems come up for solution thai SkpPway will keep her place at the head of the procession of Alaskan cities,
 When the trim little steamer that + now being put into shape to he com missioned begins making regular trips to Haines then the eople of the Por- cupine district will say that Skagway do that which it promises. They will understand that the merch hts and business men of Skagway are self re- liant ant that no obstacles are tot great for them to overcome. T hr fac that there have been difficulties t. brush a-ide the fact at he bushes considerah hle sum of money to reach them will convince the miners and business men of the Porcupine thar Skagway possesses enterprise, anU there is nothing that will appeal to en terprsing men like enterprise.
 The consummaton of a direcy steamer service 70 the Porcupne coun- try is in line with the action of Skag- way in the past. The Chamber of Com merce the people and the press of this city have taken up every battle the -people- of Pulnnnina-h had = ifGht, The mail ssrvice from Haines to Porcu- pine the vexed boundary question and the proposition to get a government appropriation for a wagon road into that rich field have all received the at tention of the people of this city. and the influence of the Skagway Chamber of Commerce is now being exerted to its utmost in their behalf on all of these matters. The Porcupine miners will not fail to understand that this city is the best friend their district has. | hat it is in position to give them better service han any other, and, which is of not less importance, it is peopled by en. terprising men who know how to bring influence to bear in their cause.
 The securing of close and frequent communication is only the first step that will bring the great district on Chilkat inlet and Skagway closely in touch, the one with the other. The other steps that are necessary to be taken will be manifest as time pro ceeds, and they will be taken.

"You want to hide from her?"

''You want to hide from her?"
 "Yes-yes! What would her life be tied to mine? You will not betray me, Spencer?'
 But you may recover"
 "No l should be only a wreck If could, but I cannot"
 Will Spencer literally could not speak This man asked of him only the silence that would give him his wife. And then, true unselfish love triumphed.
 "She will never marry me-" Will thought ruefully as he folded a long, long letter. But she shall not be cheat ed out of what little happiness life may still hold for her."
 He wrote, too. to Mrs. Raymond a let ter that caused that respectable lady to grind her teeth, but which she obeyed, packing her trunk and accompanying Helen in the journey westward. It was Will Spencer who met the two at the de- pot and accompanied them to the board ing house, where he kept Mrs. Raymond in the parlor after sending Helen up stairs alone It was Will Spencer who smoothed away every difficulty, engaging rooms for mother and daughter and qui- etly effacing himself.
 George Nanhorn was resolute on one point-he would not marry Helen. He had no hope of recovery, but if the unex- pected should happen he would not risk running Heen's life by binding it to his

 It was three years later when he came home from a European tour and called on Mrs. Raymond

dying daughter in the next town. It is a common thing for men to give her few dollars promptly and never of stories to tell I think she is the most successful beggar know.
 Crying at will is something I don't understand. I have seen counterfeit cries galore on the stage, but this woman's cry is much nearer the real thing. No, she does not hold a hand kerchief to her eyes at all. She just keeps her face well up, and sobs freely, her tears rolling down her cheeks that all may see them. She can cry anywhere. 8f
 'I've seen that woman stop on the sidewalk near where three men were standing and sob as if z her heart would break. When one of the men asked what the matter was, sheS re- piled she lived 20. miles away and had lost her purse. The three men gave her dollar and half in jiffy and asked no questions. How often in a day she does a turn like that I don't know.
 Shef does ner turn so arIlSllcally that we hate to turn the fraud down. One time I did interfere in the front of hotel, but the five men she had cried to simply gave me stony stare and waved me off, as they hand ed her a few small bills. They wouldn't hear my story, and swal- lowed her tears of woe as trout jumps at a fly. I guess those men would rather feel they'd helped a poor woman than believe there was such fraud. That's why let her go.
 s'No, I am sure she uses no onion, or other pungent odors to cause her tears. Her tear glands are ever ready or tap and never appear to be empty. Some days ago I asked a doctor about it and he couldn't explain it more than to say that practice makes perfect, and that the tear glands could be developed the same as any other portion of the human body. have promised to show him the woman some time"

BEN. GRANT HOPEFUL
Finds the Filipinos Worthy of
 Praise and Commentator.
and Reports Growing Fondness on Their Part for American Insti- tutions-Eager to Learn Eng
 fish and Fond of Dress.

Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, after two years of active campaigning in the Philippines, is spending a short leave of absence in the United States.
 As he grows older Gen. Grant more closely resembles his distinguished fa- ther. There is the same forceful chin, the same determined face, and as he sat in the parlor of the Palmer resi- dence at Chicago, his full beard lib- orally streaked with gray, the resem- blance was most striking.
 The general is confirmed optimist as regards the Philippine situation, and declared the Filipinos to be much better class of people than they have been painted, with rapidly growing liking for American people and meth ods. It was in response to the ques- ton whether after all there was not a deep-seated racial prejudice against Americans, as has been frequently al- legged, that the general said:
 ssNo; on the contrary, think they are really becoming fond of our peo- pie and institutions. They are an inn pulsive lot, much like children, and they have reminded me of lot, of youngsters trying to show conclusive iy they were good. As an evidence of their growing patriotism may say they celebrated Washington's birthday with much gusto, and when left they were preparing even then to celebrate the forthcoming Fourth of July
 "More significant than this, however, is the universal eagerness they show in displaying the American flag and tes- tifying their allegiance to it. It is a common sight to see flags of different sizes and makes floating from every house in village, no matter how humble. It is the makeup of some of these flags which is especially signifi- cant. Some of the people are too poor fo buy flags, and so they have made them, some with the oldest looking

mainder of her life. She is the most unique character in Michigan. There is not a person in Chicago who lived there in the early days of the city who will not remember Indian Mary''
 Time was in the early days, says the Chicago Chronicle, when she was Q familiar figure on the streets of Chicago, and there was one particu- lar period when she was lauded as 9 heroine and when the whole city talked of her. This was during the civil war, when she saved the life of Col. .Mulligan, the famous command CT of the Mulligan brigade, or ssthe Irish brigade,' as it was familiarly known Col. Mulligan was severely wounded. The battle ragged all day, 2,000 federal soldiers holding back 6,000- 0-confederates until Mulligan fell. Mulligan was removed to island No. 10, near Lexington, where he lan- guished for want of medical help. There was no nurse to be found ex- cept "Indian Mary" who was with the army. She exerted her medical AAACWAOGSC sOfSls oliC OJluS cOlOuGl and her Indian medicines saved him.
 s'Indian Marry served throughout the war in the capacity of nurse and had the awful experience of seeing her husband, William H. Cochrane, a. private in company L. Thirty third Michigan infantry, shot for. deser- tion. z
 Mary Cochrane is 75 years of age. Her mother was Julia La Salle, of Detroit, full-blooded squaw, and her grandfather, Jacob La Salle,, was an Indian chief. She Spent her early years in Chicago anlF in 1861 joined the federal army in the .capacityf nurse. She entered the service unl der Col. James McMullen and won credit for the. bravery she displayed on several occasions. During the past 30 years she has lived in the vi cinity of St. Joseph, where she has in some way acquired the reputation of being witch.
 She has not been troubled by the society of her village and her only companion in her little shack is small dog. As last resort the old lady has applied, through Justice St. Clair, of St. Joseph, for a pension for her service during the civil war.

Big Engine. to Be Sold a. Junk.

This machinery is now located in the bower houNes at Houston street and Broadway, fexington avenue and Twenty-ffth strSet, and in the Fiftieth street power housS
 The tremendous Rywheels, drums and other machinery were put in only within the last ten yeNs, and, ac- cording to the officials of tM company, are to-day almost as good aS new.

Sourland mountains. True to instinct the animal suddenly turned and re- traced it's course, leading the dogs back toward Trenton.
 In swinging round, Reynard was forced to invade the golf links of the Trenton Country club. A party of golfers were playing there and they heard the baying of the hounds.
 Miss Wakeman, who chanced to be leading the players, was preparing to lift her ball over a bunker, when the fox leaped over the mound and on towards the young woman's feet. Her club was poised, and as the fox was so near she changed the course of her The end of the stick caught Reynard squarely between the eyes, and he rolled over as dead as though he had been shot through the heayt.
 The hunters were on the. scene in a few minutes, and before Miss Wake man quite recovered from the excite mnt of the episode she had received the congratulations of the whole party. As a reward for her achieve ment she was given the fox's pelt.
 In describing the adventure later Miss Wakeman said;,
 ''I had my mind on getting my golf ball out of trouble, and when the fox appeared my first thought was that the animal would bite me if didn't hit it.
 ''I took no time to think about 1t. I simply struck at the fox's head, and the blow that the ball might have re ceived fell on the fox,s head. It was a harmless little cfeatu after all, and I'm sorry that it ica1le in my way.''

TO MAKE MEN BEAUTIFUL.
Moscow Establishment Where the Defornned and Ugly Are
 Transformed.

That men ought to desire physical beauty as much as women is the firm belief of two German merchants, who have opened at Moscow store in which, they claim, any man who is deformed or ugly can find appliances that will speedily remove all his de- fects and transform him into Q thing of beauty, says foreign exchange.
 This transformation will naturally cost him some money, but not much. If his calves are not well shaped and he desires to have them padded he need only pay ten francs, and if he is pigeon-breasted and desires the chest of gladiator he can acquire that commodity by paying trife of 25 francs.
 We guarantee say these in- genious merchants, who are evident ly good judges of human nature;3 "to provided anyone with frst-class bust of Apollo for 62 francs 50 centimes, with an ordinary bust of Apollo for 37 francs 50 centimes, with pair of shoulders like Her cules for 25s francs, and with an inn proved pair of such shoulders, made of whalebone and nickel, for 75 francs"
 Indeed, glance over the price list shows that for 200 francs any gem tleman who is at all lacking in per- sonal beauty or grace can have him. self speedily changed into faultless Adonis.

There is feyerish eager ness to learn English, and was waited on once by two little Filipino boys who said they wanted to learn my language. American teachers are in great demand for this reason, and frequently have detailed soldiers to teach the natives our tongue. This is stimulating inter est in the schools, which are rapidly in- ereasing in number. Another gratify- ing evidence of American control is the steady betterment of the people in a material way.
 q Peaceful conditions now obtain in extent than for many years. I have traveled all over my province, accom- panied only by an orderly, and on one occasion dined at a hacienda where the owner told me that for the first time in five years he had dared bring his wife out there.

 "I do not believe there is any reason for apprehension that Malabar, who is reported to have declared himself dictator since the capture of Aguinal- do, is likely to cause any serious revolt. He may prove to be a troublesome fel- low, such as road agents.in our west ern country, but he will not be danger ous.
 ~As for the commercial feature of the islands, I can only say at present that they are productive and, that our commerce going both ways must of ne- cessity increase. Especially is this true of manufactured goods coming from the United States, for the natives are getting a rage for that sort of thing. have been amused to. notice that all the women in my district are wearing stockings, and in the Corpus Christi festivals of this year every little girl wore hat, smayi slip of dress and shoes"
 While he takes no credit for himself in the capture of Aguinaldo, the gen. eral referred with pride to the fact that it was a company of his own Maca- bebe scouts who did the work with Gen Funston. Gen. Grant until re gently was in command of the volun- teer forces in Pampango province, Lu- ynn

ONE OsTRICH's LUNG.
Big Bird Which Died nt New York Breathed in Grain of Corn
 and a Collar Button.

In the basement of the American museum of natural history an inter- esting experiment was performed the other afternoon. Dewey" big os- trich that had long delighted visitors to the Central park menagerie, ended his career last Monday, and his lungs were examined on the theory that he may have died of consumption. They contained grain of corn, a collar but ton and much evidence of inhamma- ton.
 Dewey is supposed to have drawn in the articles through his windpipe, probably at time when he felt ex- ceptionally hungry, and gobbled not wisely but too well.
 ''The grain of corn," said Dr. Reyn- olds, who cut up the lungs, may have caused the birds death. I shall have to examine the lung i'll my laboratory and search for tuberculosis germs be- fore I can say whether or not it died of consumption. If tuberculosis did kill Dewey this is the first case of a fowl having the disease"
