NATIVES STARVING
 ON TIE YUKON RIVER
It Is Said That the Canadian Govern ment Would Send Supplies From
 Dawson.

A Seattle dispatch to the san Fran cisco Examiner of Judy 23, says that ad vices from Dawson are to the effect that hundrct,S of people are euid to be actually otarVin4a at various points along the lower Yukon. It is probable that the Canadian government will take some action in the matter and food will be sent to those who are nearer DaW- son than St. Michael. Their condition is due to the fact that in tlc early spring hundreds of miners left Dawson in small boats. eu route to Nome. and were caught and held in ice jams in lower river until their provisions be- came exhausted.
 At NulatO there are reported to be upward of 200 starving miners. who have assembled there anNiOtj>lY wait ing the advent ot the tir,l up-iiv"r boat with supplies. The scant ~upplle, of food which thc nat ive- had stored up along the river were long ago cN- hau,ted. It is almost impossible to ob- tain any game within any reasonable distance of the river.
 B. Ogden. who arrived in Nome re- gently from Dawson having come down the Io1on on the sloop Gladys. eaNo there i, a scarcity of prOyi>ion, on the lower Yukon. The natives he says. have run short of mostly everything in the way of suppIic~. The winter Was very severe. and there was much sickness and death. the number of desOlatcI villages being noticeable.

HER STERN TORN OFF
The Urampus Was Whaler Owned by the Pacific Steam Whaling Go. and Was Outfitted for Three- Years Cruis e-Iier Crew Saved.

The steam wha}cr Grampus. Captain Porter, belonging to the Pacific Steam Whaling Company, was wrecked near Point Barrow on July lS.
 The Granpus was making heroic en- deavorS, so it is stated. to reach Point Barrow ahead of the Jeannettc. and when ten miles north of that place, the ice broke and came down with great velocity, striking the Grampus and driving her down to Cape Smith. There was no escape from the ice Hoe. and the doomed whaler was driven stern fore most onto Cape smith. She filled with water and was beached at Refuge bay. The wreck was sold for the benefit of the underwriters for S2JO.
 The Jeannette came to the rescue of the crew and all were safely taken on board and conveyed to Point Hope. where they retitted d schooner. which had been blown ashore. and sailed for Teller. There they engaged passage on the Elk and reached Nome thi, morning. In all there were g persons on board the Grumpus, incIudinga crew of 42 and l7 natives.
 The Glampus left San Francisco in March and was outftted for d three years voyage.

 Following the arrival of the Kimball on Wednesday afternoon, the Roanoke on Thursday morning puited her nose into the r0adstcad. but immediately turned round and made for St. Michael. The Roanoke has all the mail since July s. and curses loud and deep have gone up because of the failure to land it. A heavy surf Wae raging at the time. and it is probable that Captain Weaver thought to save time by going to St. Michael and disCharging his cargo.

The busy man boarded the car and
started for home. His work at the
office was over. but his mind was
not at ease. The boy had disappoint-
ed him. He would never give another
boy the same chance-so he thought
as the car carried him homeward.
The following morning, when he
seated himself at the breakfast table
and unfolded his newspaper, the first
item that met his gaze was this:
'MIGGLES' LOST HIS JOB"
"The boy who rescued q baby from
the burning tenement house in Grand
street yesterday, at the peril of his
own life, is known as 'Miggles' be-
cause of his great skill at marbles.
The brave little fellow is seriously
injured. and will possibly be in the
hospital for several weeks. His only
plant is that he did not furnish a
certain item for some newspaper, and
that he has lost his job"
But "Miggles" did not lose his job.
1t was waiting for him when he
came to the newspaper Office. And
his salary while he lay upon the
snow Write cot in the hospital had
gone on to his credit just the same.
For he had furnished the item.-

American Nervousness.

A man of good habits and regular
life, taking a judicious amount of rest
and recreation, need De none the worse
mentally and physically for a rather
intense concentration upon the work OF
his life, while that work is going on.
Some of the worlds greatest thinkers,
in lines where the most perfect con-
centration and specialization were re-
ouired, have been men of perfect
health and nerves and Of long and
vigorous life. But they have not in
dulged in fads and follies, their recre-
ations have been simple. they have
not undertaken to compass the whole
field of human effort, and they have
kept their lives free from excesses in
all directions.
DR.. Wettler thinks that it is the con-
tinuity of work and worry that do
harm, rather than the work and wor-
ry in themselves. In q measure, this
is true; but many persons work for
that which does them no good and
worry about that which is Of no ac-
count. If they are made nervous, we
do not see why the fault should be
charged to civilization. In this respect
they are distinctly uncivilized.-New

OPPOSED TO IRON SHIPS.
Naval Officers Long Doubted the Pra
ticability of These Vessels.

Naval Ofhcers Long Doubted the Prac
ticabiIity of These Vessels.
"Naval officers were the most violent
opponents of iron ships" observed q
well-known naval officer, "and fought
their introduction in every way possi'
BILE, but the iron ship got the best Of 1t
in the long run. Farragut and hosts of
other officers refused outright to sail
in an iron ship, and loaded down the
records of the navy with reasons why
an iron ship would not take the place
Of the wooden ship. 1t is interesting
now to read these old reports. in view
of the fact that there are practically
no wooden ships left. They argued
and proved to their own satisfaction,
too, that the iron ship would be too
cold in winter and too warm in sum-
mer; that it would sweat and give
every one who rode in it rheumatism
and dozens other diseases. Experience
has shown every one of the objections
to be without foundation.
"The people who forced the iron ship
on the navy were landsharks in every
instance. They knew little about the
sea themselves, but just the same they
thought it would be an Improvement
on the wooden ship. and they were
right about it. The only thing that
can compare it to was the opposition
to elevated railroads in New York
City. Three hundred Of the physi-
clans of the largest practice in New
York City Joined in a protest against
the building of the elevated railroad.
They insisted that if the elevated cars
were run in less than six months one
third or more of the people living
along the lines Of elevated railroads
would be driven crazy; that the noise
and jarring would have such an effect
upon the nerves Of the people that
they could not exist. Hundreds of IA
nous naval surgeons and hundreds
not so famous are on record the same
way against the iron ship. The long
list Of diseases that were to follow

terialized, and the iron ship persist

tenn years old the PENNSYLVANIA Rail-

teen years old the Pennsylvania Rail-
road needed an operator. AS young
Carnegie had the reputation OF being
an expert he obtained the place. He
mastered the details Of train despatch
ing and made some suggestions for
facilitating the work, which brought
him to the attention of Colonel Thom-
as A. Scott, Vice-President Of the road.
One day, when Carnegie stood on
the back platform Of car examining
the condition Of a certain part OF the
road-bed. he was accosted by T. Z.
Woodruff, who desired to exhibit
model of the sleeping car which he
had invented.
A small company was formed. and
the first sleeping cars to be used IN
the world were built for the Pennsyl-
vania road. Young Carnegie was Of
fered an interest, which he accepted.
When the Civil War broke out and
Colonel Scott became Assistant Sec
retary of War, Carnegie was placed
in charge of the Government telegraph
communications.
After the war Carnegie purchased
with others the famous Storey Farm,
on Oil Creek, Penn. The purchase
price was $4,000, and shortly 1t paid
an annual profit Of $1,0O0,0O0. This
gave Carnegie his first start In life
as capitalist.
At thirty he had laid the foundation
of his wealth. After starting the Key
stone Bridge Company he founded the
Edgar Thomson Steel Rail Company.
He then acquired the Homestead and
other plants. In 1888 he had seven
steel companies, among which were
the Homestead, Edgar Thomson, Du-
uuesne, Lucy Furnaces, Upper and
Lower Union Rolling Mills, etc.
Skibo Castle, Andrew Carnegie's
home in Scotland. is one Of the finest
estates in the highlands. Its broad
grounds, vast apartments, battlements
and escarpments are in high contrast
with the little house at Dunfermline
wherein Mr.. Carnegie was born. But
humble as is the lowly home of his
boyhood, the great philanthropist
thinks more Of it than of his castle.
At Skibo Mr.. Carnegie spends much Of
his time. Its invigorating climate,
its inviting countryside, the pleasant
neighbors surrounding it, make it an
ideal summer home. Few country
seats in the United Kingdom are Of
finer estate than this highland abode
where the American millionaire will
spend the summer at rest.
Charles NJ. Schwab, the man who
has been selected through the infiu-
ence of Andrew Carnegie for Il
President Of the new steel trust, has
risen from the ranks Of labor. Mr..
Schwab is a native Of Pennsylvania.
and is thirty-nine years old.

All-Around Exercising.

Physical exercise seems to be the
order of the day in many parta OF
France, and if facts are as they are
reported to be, says the Paris Messen-
ger, Baron Pierre de Coubertin has
established 4 record of q new kind.
1t is reported that the Baron has re-
Gently taken six hours physical exer-
else at Cannes-siX hours exercise in
eight hours OF time. He rode on BIZ
cycle for an hour, and then handled
the oars for an hour, thus giving legs
and arms alternate exercise. He rode
horseback for an hour and then played
lawn tennis for a similar period. He
mounted his motorcycle and went
spinning along at racing speed for
sixty minutes. This accomplished, the
Baron divided his remaining hour
into four equal portions Of fifteen min
utes, during which he handled the
foil, the sword and the sabre, and
finishing uD with box a la Fran
caise. 1t is said that the Baron showed
no sign of fatigue. He must evidently
have been in good, and very good,
condition.
