picking them from his right hand, and
will so continue ad intinitum, rs it were.
until compelled to stop by the arrival OF
his mother or the departure of his in

during the whole performance. but will
be as sober as Il judge and offer you 10
valid excuse for not emulating him in that
one particular. You will admire the
tenacity with which the sweet child will
stick to his job. His mother will prob

REGISTRATION in ALABAMA.
ALI Negroes Turned Away, But No Obstacle
Put in the Way of Any White Man.

tiildp Ddily -NeNS.J
The greatest rush experienced since the
registration books were opened in Jeffer-
son County is OH today before the Board
of Registrars. and it is believed that by
tonight fully 1000 persons will have reg
istered. making pretty good record for
the first week.
Ever since the place of registration
opened this morning there has been large
crowd on hand, and the rush increased as
the day advanced. The number of negroes
who are applying to register is very large,
and the board is becoming firmer in turn
ing them down. If they come up to they
educational or property qualifications they
are told to come back later with witnesses
as to their good character.
Up to this time there have been no ap-
peals from the decision of the board in the
matter of registering anyone, but 1t Is evil
dent that such appeals will come up later
on. Many of the negroes who are turned
down at this time are coming again later
on. and will endeayOr to register 1t is eX-
pected then that numerous appeals Will be
taken.
The Board of Registrars will be in ses-
sion at the Court House two weeks longer,
and it is believed that between 5000 and
10000 persons will be registered. After
this the board will visit every precinct in
the County, and those who failed to regis
ter while the books were open at the Court
House will then have an opportunity to
do so.
No white men are being turned down by
the board in this County. The whites are,
as il rule. asked no questions at all. Ihey
are simply required to make affidavit as to
their qualifications and Il certificate is then
issued to them.

fine breach-loading fieldpieces of about
three-inch caliber. He had halted them
and chased them along the wall as FAR
as the limits of his post, and then hred
at them until they jumped off the wall
into the street just beyond the barracks.
AS proof he produced a ragged coat he
said one of them had dropped. A hasty
search was made of the houses in the
vicinity, into one of which a Filipino boy
declared he had seen man run few
minutes before, but no trace whatever
who had seen one. We then returned to
examine the scene of the shooting. The
sentinel showed us an ammunition box
containing half dozen shells that he sand
had been carried hundred feet from the
gun to which it belonged and dropped
when he challenged. 1t certainly lay that
distance from the gun. These guns and
ammunition boxes should long before
have been taken away by the Ordnance
Department. but had been neglected.
The Captain of this mans company
gave it as his opinion that the man, who

body else would think of. had himself car
ried the ammunition box to the place
where it was found, deposited the old coat
in the trail on the wall, and then fired the
shots, so that he might pose at the central
figure of an exciting episode. There was
no proof of this. however, and so, after
Il close examination which revealed moth
ing, the matter was dropped with the
usual report to headquarters.
Subsequent events proved that the Fill
pinOs were in fact trying to get posses
sion of old ammunition by nocturnal raids.

1t seems that Morse. unknown to me

stumbled upon one of them in the dark.
He went beyond the farthest point occu-
pied by Il sentinel, climbed an angle in
the wall and jumped down to the ground
right i'll front of the man who shot him.
The startled sentinel had no time to chal-
lcnce. 1t looked to him as though a rush
was being made on bin. and he raised his
gun like fash and fired.
Another Captain had just arrived on
the scene in the rear of the sentinel. and
he also got the same first impression of
Il rush and raised his revolver. but just
then there was CLINT of light on the
brass buttons of the Sergeaut's uniform.
and the officer shouted to the sentinel,
Don't shoot" but the warning was too
late. A drawer and better soldier Uncle
Sam never had in his service. The entire
regiment turned out to his funeral the
next day.

(San Francisco Chronicle. J

All previous records for big gold nuggets
in the north have been broken. News
has been brought to Seattle from the
north on the steamer Dolphin of the dis
covery on j. Il. Brooks hillside claim,
between King Solomon's Hill and Monte
CristO Gulch. Bonanza Creek, of the
largest nugget ever found in either the
Klondike or Alaska. According to advices
sent out from Dawson in a dispatch, dated
May 2G, the nugget was found during the
previous week, the exact date not being
given. The nugget weighed 800 ounces,
and contained gold to the amount of
81, 500. Several parties visited the claim,
and have inspected the find. This is many
times larger than any nugget ever before
found in the north. The largest nugget
discovered in the Atlin country was val
ued at about $500, and that on Koyukuk
at 81 $50. A nugget valued at about $3.50
was discovered in the Forty Mile district.

The mates boat was within striking

straight for the ship. He struck her
fairly on the starboard side amldships

The whale sank at once.
The bark was sixty years old. The
whale crushed in her side and she
began TO careen at once. Capt. Jenk-

In distress, cut loose from the whale
