An Alteration in itlle Board of .Trace Saloon Early Thursday Morning
 Has a Terrible Ending

As d result of an alteration early Thursday morning between George Sh llt> and w. T. Pratt, Shalts is Tn q private hospital, deprived of an eye. while Pratt is under $5, 000 bonds cn q charge of assault with intent to kill. The altercation took place in the Board of Trade saloon, and just who began the row which ended in Shults' eye being gouged out is hard to determine Men who witnessed it say that both were aggres>ors. Shults is said to have been under the influence of liquor and wanted drink. Pratt refused to give him one. and q wordy warfare was fol- lowed s6y fight in which Shults was armed with fire shnrel.i.nd Pr;, t with an iron poker. In a rouyh.anl-tumble ,fiyht Shults wa, knocked down, and in the mix-up he received blow in the eye which put it out forever.
 Both men are well known and bear good reputation, for orderly behavior and sobr.cty. Shults has been in Nome since 1899, and 50 ha, Piatl, and both are well liked.

 The board of school trustees. among others, has been the subject of inquiry. but it is not at all likely that any in- diotments willhe returned. The COB duct of police affairs is now said to be rccu.J ing the attention of the jury and an effort is being made to impale Chiei Jolley. but it is scarcely probable that the investigation will be productive of the results which some expect.
 It is expected that the grand iury's final report wi contain some imp, rtaLt rec0nmendut ons, -unl will embrace matters not hilherto touch' d upon by {. grand jury, and it may be taken for granted that the jury has done a great deal of Lard. conscientious work, which will directly and indirectly be pre- ductive Of good to the entire section.

UNIQUE HOTEL on LONG ISLAND

Quaint Tavern.
Only a few steps from the sandy
shore where the claim digger pursues
his vocation, ana in the loneliest part
of City Island, Long island stands the
Macedonian Horel When the wreck
OF the famous British frigate and
prison ship Macedonia was bleaching
her hulk on the shore OF Harris ISL
and. directly across the water from
City Island, 4 native conceived the
idea OF putting the solid and age pro-
tected timbers to good use. says the
New York Herald With boats and
assistants he made many trips TO the
old hulk, gathering the timbers and
towing them TO the beach III front OF
piece OF property which he owned
close beside the shore
From the wreckage he erected what
has ever since been known as the
Macedonian Hotel. and or its side are
inscribed these words. which tell OF
the history of the famous old house:
This house is the remains OF the
English frigate Macedonia. captured
on Sunday. Oct. %. 1872. b. the United
States frigate United States. COM
manded by Capt. Stephen Decatur, U.
S. n.
This action was fought in lat 2&
deg. north. ION. 90 deg 80 min. west.
That is about 500 miles northwest OF
the Cape de Ierde islands, off the west
coast Of Africa, and tCwed TO Gov
bay in 1874"
The main room, used % bar. on
the fist floor, is framed OF the heav-
lest timbers from the old ship. To
many OF them are still fastened the
old hooks 10 which the saiiors OF the
British fighting snip hung their ham
mocks. An Old cupboard from the gal
ley of the ship serves as 4 bar. and
the cabin used By the petty officers is
used as the place wherein mine host
of the Macedonian keeps his stock OF
ripe old liquor for dispensation among
his customers and the clam diggers
who work along the beach in his
neighborhood.
On the second floor is a music
room" that is none other than. the
main cabin of the Macedonia. In re-
moving the lumber from the ship those
who did the work took pains to pre-
serve each piece and place it in its
proper place in the Macedonian Hotel.

the man-of-war were carefully pre-
served. and these now let in the light

Imprison the Machine.

A distinctly original suggestion ia
made by the Brooklyn Eagle in con-
nection with the automobile problem.
1t is that the machine. NOT the man.
be punished for exceeding the speed
limit. When a motor vehicle goes
tearing through the streets on an en-
rand of actual or potential destruction.
the scheme is not 70 touch the owner
or driver. but to seize the machine
and imrrison il for number
of weeks or months. OF course.
in such case the usual option of
thirty dollars or thirty days"
should not be given, as some OF
the wealthy owners would pay the
fine cheerfully and rot consider it
much Of punishment. Bat almost
any possesscr of an automobile would
be heart broken 81 having his ma
chine taken away from him and tenn
porafily put out of business. and one
or two experiences of that kind might
have wholesome effect. The great
majority of mobciists are considerate
ana law-abitiing. but there are hood
lums and :utiians among them who
need some sort of discipline TIE
Eagles idea is commended TO the at
tention of the public authorities
