CORRIGAN is DEAD.
Noted New York Prelate Expires Suddenly
Was Thought to Be Better.

New York, May g. Archbishop Mich
ael Augustin Corrigan died at II :O5
o'clock last night, aged go years. The
death of the archbishop came as a great
surprise and shock to those in the arehi-
episcopal residence. 1t was more so to
the general public, for the last bulletin
of the day was that SO certain were the
physicians of improvement of the patient
that there would be no more bulletins
last night. Up to 10 80 there was no
evidence Of collapse in fact, the arch
bishop at ~ 40 talked with his secretary.
About II O'Clock, however, the trained
muses. who had been in charge at the
bedside noticed change. Acting on in
structions, the physicians were tele-
phoned for. At the same time the arch.
bishops two brothers were summoned
to the room, as well as number of
priests. 1t was quickly seen by the ply
eicians that the end was at hand, and in
less than quarter Of an hour the pre-
late was dead. His last moments were
peaceful and without evidence OF suf-
fering.

Furnish a House on Paper.

One Of the most absorbing amuse-
ments possible to find for children Is
the making of scrap books. The raini-
est of days may be made enjoyable
by a few large sheets of strong wrap
ping paper cut In the size desired for
the book and folded Into two leaves,
with a collection Of old magazines and
papers full Of pictures.
A novel kind of scrap book recently
made represents doll house. each
page being a room. Advertisements

illustrated being carefully cut out in
outline and pasted in an orderly man
ner on the page to which it belonged.
The kitchen has range. table.

of water until your back aches for
ticket of admission to the show. That
makes you an object Of envy to all
your fellows. You stay and watch the
canvasmen drive their pegs. rig their

Finally the crisis comes. From the
far off end Of Main street wild strain
Of unearthly music sweeps up the
packed street. 1t is the steam calliope
in action--an instrument which sounds
like score of tug whistles blowing at
once. At the sound all the horses in
hearing rear and plunge and their own
ers rush frantically out to wrestle
with them. Meanwhile the town mar
shall Is running down to the street to
have the calliope turned off before the
town is torn to pieces.
Far ahead of the rest of the process
sion ride two men In shiny victoria,
drawn by two white and two jet black
horses, wearing silver mounted har-
ness with yellow reins. One Of the
men is quiet looking person in a mod
est suit Of black clothes and n black
SLOUGH hat. He owns the show. but he
cuts no figure In the eyes of the popu-
lace in comparison with the gorgeous
and glittering individual who rides
with him. This latter wears n red
waistcoat with blue polka dots, white
spats. shining patent feathers, and al
most white frock coat and tall silk
hat, OH which the sun plays in splen-
dor. His ample paunch is crossed by
an enormous gold chain. which mean

neck. In his big red necktie shines
diamond greater and more brilliant

Twice in each block as he proceeds
in his triumphal progress up Main

and each boy must select the one
which seems best adapted to him.

WANT A DELEGATE.
But Territorial Government Is Not tor the Best
Interests OF Alaska.


Interests Of Alaska.
Douglas City, Alaska, April l2.-At
the last meeting of the city council the
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The attention of Congress
has been directed to Alaska by the agita-
ton of the question of a territorial form
of government for this district;
And whereas, 1t is believed that such
a step would be unwise at this time for
the reasons that the industries of Alaska
are yet in their infancy, and on them
would fall the burden of the taxes neces-
sary to sustain such government, at a
time when they need encouragement
and support, rather than taxation
therefore be it
Resolved, by the board of councilmen
OF Douglas Ci'y, Alaska,
First-That we heartily indorse the
bill introduced by Congressman Cush-
man asking for delegate to congress to
represent Alaska;
Second-That we are opposed to the
enactment OF any law, at this time, Civ
ing Alaska territorial form of govern
ment, as premature and inimical to the
best interests of this district;
Third-That a copy of these resolu-
tons, duly authenticated. be sent to the
chairmen of the committees on terrific
ries of the senate and house OF repre-
sentatives of the United States, to Con-
gresham Cushman, to the newspapers
of Alaska and the Seattle newspapers.

MAY CONVULSE CONTINENT.
Announcement Of Queens Condition Comes as
aShock After Recent Bulletins.

London, May 5.-The tardy official
admission of the real nature of the
illness of the queen of Holland, which
the Associated Press was able to an.
nounce April II from Amsterdam, may
be regarded as an indication of very
grave crisis in her majesty's condition,
and, coming SO suddenly upon the
bulletins announcing her imminent re-
covery, it will cause shock throughout
Europe. Apart from the difficulties
surrounding the question of the success
sion to the throne of Holland, the death
of Queen Wilhelmina, if this should
unhappily occur, would tend to convulse
the continent politically.
In Germany especially it is matter
OF the deepest Importance. The German
press claims that Prince Albrccht of
Hohenzollern, the acting regent Of
Brunswick, is among the nearest in
the Dutch succession, and in all the
European capitals nervous apprehension
exists that the absence of direct heir
to the Dutch throne may precipitate a
struggle for the possession of Holland.
which in Berlin is regarded as Germany's
natural right.

and cross 1t over the two following
strands. The fourstraud cording shown
in figure &, to my mind, gives a better
shaped rope than the one just de
scribed. The diagram itself is the best
description | can give of four-strand
cording. Arrange them as shown. each
strand under the one next to it, and
then pull them tight. About twenty
five feet Is the best length for begin
ner. TO make the loop in Il braided rope
fasten the end back by means of the
endless tie shown in figure >. When
the winding is completed put the end
OBJ through the loop Co and pull the
end ca until the loop and end have Ell
tirely disappeared beneath the coil.
Then cut off the end ca and the end
less tie Is complete. In order to have
the rope run smoothly cover the loop
with canvas or some other strong cloth
as shown by figure /.
Real rawhide ropes are buried under
ground for some two weeks and after
make them pliable. Two weeks under
ground will not improve linen or
hemp rope, but the greasng l would
strongly advise; only be careful where
you hang up your lasso when not using
it. for grease has IA very penetrating
quality.
The art of throwing lariat cannot
be reduced to rule. No two men do 1t
alike. IL you ask cowboy to teach
you he will say that every man must
learn to do 1t for himself, by practice.
He will be quite willing to show you
how he throws the rope, but his style
will be quite different from the very
next cowboy you meet, and Is certain
to be entirely different from the
method you finally adopt. The illustra-
ton shows the characteristic position
assumed at the moment Of delivery;
but it can only suggest; practice is the
only master who can teach lasso throw.
