Remarkable Suicides.

Paris Corr Pail Mall Gazette.
Suicides by means Of charcoal fumes is
one of the commonest forms of self-destruc-

had elaboration in it OF an unusual kind.
The unhappy fellow came up from his regt-
meEt at COmpiegnie and hired a room In a
small Paris hotel. He lit his fire of char
coal. but before doing so swallowed d prep

ecute himself by fixing his tie to a curtain
rod and making a moose Of the other end.

chance of impaling himself upon his bayo-
net. which he had hxed. point upward, be-

fall. and the young man is now in a hospI-

Wane Of tho Panama.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The sporty individuals who paid fancy
prices for Panama hats early In the season
are already beginning to regret their rash
ness. The whole country Is being flooded
with cheap limitations 30 skillfuhy put to-
gether that unless subjected to a close
scrutiny they can scarcely be distinguished
from the real thing. The men who paid
anywhere from so to SIS for their hats

then very proud Of their purchases have
recently shown an inclination to hedge
Where's your Panama today?" Is a con-
slant query. ooh! 1t sort of looked like
rain this morning. SO / thought wouldn't
wear It," comes the reply. somewhat sheep
ishly, for the chances are the skies are per-
fectly clear. Since the cheap hats come
mostly In the Fedora shape, the owners of
real Panamas of that style have taken to
twisting them into weird and unsishtiy
shapes as distinguishing mark, and that
is another indication of vanity gone astray.

Electric Light and Eyesight.

From the liverpool Courier.
Contrary to the general opinion, electric
light plays less havoc with the eyesight
than any other forms OF artificial light.
Such at least. is the decision OF Russian
specialist. He bases his deductions on the
fact that disease and damage 10 the eye
are proportional TO the frequency Of the
closure of the lids. He found that the lids
close in a minute 6.S times with candle
light, IS times with gaslight, % times
with sunlight and Is times with electric
light. AS this latter will be the light OF
the future, the assurance is comforting.

AN OLD QUARTZ SHARP.

4 couple of years ago David C. Lilies, an un- rretentous man, but thorough quartz miner told the editor of TIE NUGGEr that Seward peninsula would develop into a magnificent quartz country Lilies nduged himself in certain forcible derogatory remarks concerning the "eXperts' who had dosmatlc- ally stated that real 'quartz lodges" were to be found here. Lilies is an old-me quartz miner;, he has mover affected placer mining because he says, he knows nothing about it. But he has eye to quartz. For years he prospected and mined in Colorado New Mexico and Arizona He was the friend of w. S Stratto the mining millionaire, lately deceased, and of Capt. Delamar, the mining magnate of Utah and Idaho He knew both mon well. and while learning their pecuarities, he studied quartz formations. When Lilies to this section, has been said, he did not come to engage in the hunt for placer ground Nor has he done so. He has talked quartz persist ently and indefatigaby. lie has dug and prospected and bis faith in the quartz future of Seward penn- sula is frmer than before He says that the formation Tn thIs country Is 'ivoii ,ihsA ~~a -n- cient," almost as the The lodges are here, and for the most part they are buried and are deep Time and patience will uncover them. And with the discoveries and developments on Solomon river and at Topkok, who can doubt that Miner Lilies has wis dom and that it is correct?

THE GREAT WHITE SILENCE.

To Jack London, versatile California writer is credited the term the great white silence which. about the beginning of November settles down for many months over this great northland. The term is appropriate The silence is white and 1t is great. It is the land of isolation complete, where the god of night settles down in uninterrupted reign, dis turbed only by the wild blizzard and the rustlng of the aurora borealis trackless land, where aS Kipling savs the ''northern lights down at nights, to dance on the boundless snows.'
 To the lust for gold is to be ascribcd the desire 0. men to make this northland habtable The restless energy of a people such makes ths possibla. Great Britain has been called d colonizer but we who are the oshoots of that great country have grown to he the developers American push, pluck and enterprise are doing more today in the development of this earth than all else besides. We pene- trative. We are alone of kind. This is perhaps because we are of a heterogeneous mixture. Though, as a nation we sprang from the loins of what call the 'mother country," we have absorbed and assim Hated people of all "kindred and tongues" The snaton has been complete, therefore strong, we are robust
 While the peoples of high attitudes are vigorous, the intelligence and opportunities that create the boundess spirit of freedom seem to be lacking They content in great measure with the order ofthings that has existed for ages Knowing little, they do not care to know more To our civilization there IS
 tangible reality. It does not to be; it is And we grow, and flourish and expand under adverse cir cumstances in extreme attitudes. Wehave our faults, cur foibles: We worship false gods, welded to our own ideas but witha we have responsiveness and an elasticity nowhere else to be found dull and stupid people, that isra people among whom the civilizing influences of modern times have not found iodsment, are content with the ways that thelr fathers walked for many generations. But given enlightenment, they desire new and better ways It is we'll that it is The safety of good government lies in the intelligence of is people, It is this in telligence that is being brought to bear in the deve opment of frozen empire. It takes stout hearts tc accomplish it. The swelling plains, the gentle breezes of more saubrious cmes fresh in oul nostrils. We have pleasant memories of tEe land where the "orange blossom blows" and where the "corn ripens in the breeze' And yet here where the great white silence regns supreme for than half year!

The people of Alaska\ have been raped by the laws enacted by congress; wa have given every thing and have received but little iN return we have not even been pleased with the oci s that have been sent to administer affairs. We( have contributed much more to the federal treasury than we have re- ceived. We have been taxed unnhercitully, but have been given representative in congress to say why our conditions should be alleviated. We don't want to make our own laws but do want voice in shaping them. We do claim that the money derived
 from taxation upon Alaskans should be expended for their benefit and for the benefit of Alaskan nstitu tons. We want harbor Improvements in Nome; we want lighthouses, VIC need public buildings; want settled and fixed laws.
