and delays. We also wish to state
that we have had quite a number of
complaints, more especially by those
who have been delayed in receiving
their patents, after having fully com

some were well founded.
We have also had complaints of ia.

 They struggled on aioo. till they :ound some dr,i wood, ou; of which they made a raft to cross

Massacre of Russians.
Story of the Old Russian at Ia.
 tetlik. Only Survivor .- of Twenty-four

There Is now living in the small Indian village of Ta.eilik. in Pr.nce William Sound, an ol,. Russian, by the name of Ni.o,al Ofmarinoff. who has lived there so long ,ha, he is generally looked upon as native.
 We were fortunate enough. a short time ago, 70 secure story of a massacre of Russians, which oc- cured on Copper river abou, 40 years ago. This old Russian and two others. were the only ones who escaped. The story was told by him through an interpreter, and is of particular interest from the fact that while there is history of thre, such massacres on Copper river, the time and circumstances are SD different from those ;old by the old nian. tha, there Is little doubt bu. tina, the event described by him is now made public for the frs, ii.nc.
 In ls63 q small party of Rus s:ans were sent out by the fur com. lany. then operating in this section, 70 explore ;he interior country ad. iacen; to the Copper river. There were 24 n'en in .he party aud they r. ach,d n, :DuIin oi he rlver early n nc sir:ns while 1t Was Ill iroz.'n. They had an outfit q. food and c.o. hing suificien. to las, for over year, bu; had no dogs or animals of any kind for hauling heir sleds.

 A short distance above the rap ids they struck the frs; village of Copper river Indians. 1; was only a small tr.be, and the Russians impressed every able bodied man in the camp in:O service as draught animals. Soon af.er leaving this village the sleds had 10 be abandoned, and the na ives were forced to take enormous loads on their hacks. In this manner ,he outfit was moved to Taral, where more Indians were forced in,O the service, and as ;h- party moved along up the river, recruits were picked Up a; each village.
 They ;rea;ed the natives as slaves, ofen bea ing them and sub jecting them to all manner of in- d.gnl;ies. Even though the In- d.ans grea ly Ou:numbered the Russians, hey could make no re- sis;ance, for they hasl teen forced o leave ;heir only weal ons, bows and arrows, behind them, ana were in gre,: Ireal of tine guns carried by the Russians.
 They bore every indign:sy heaped upon them, apparently with resignation, but hey were req ly looking for an oppor unity to reialiate on the Russians. This opportunity finally presented it. self.
 After one particularly hard days travel :he par;y went in.o camp at a pO!n; between tl,e mou. hs of the klu,ena and Tazlina rivers. The Russians were very tired ami the nien they placed on guard fell asleep. During the night the In- dians ar.,>e and attacked the Rus sians with clubs and axes.

EMBARRASSING KINDNESS.
Vhoughtful9 yYoung Woman Has Trouble with Thread Hanging
 from Strange Mans Collar

There IS one young woman in Phila- delphia, declares the Inquirer, whose benevolent disposition received a se- were shock recently. She was at church and sat directly behind a tall, well-dressed stranger, who had rav- cling hanging over his collar.
 Being one of those generous-heart- ed, whole-souled girls who grow up to be motherly old ladies, a friend to everybody in town, she thought how glad she would be if some kind-heart- ed girl would do as much for her fa- ther, if he were to go to church with a raveling hanging down his back; so when the congregation rose for the first hymn she decided to pick it off.
 Carefully raising her hand, she gave a little twitch, but the travelling was longer than she supposed, and foot or more of thread appeared.
 Setting her teeth she gave pull, and about a yard more of that horrible thread appeared.
 This was getting embarrassing, but, still determined, she gave another yank, and then discovered that she was unrayeling the mans undershirt.
 Her discontinue was evident when the gentleman turned with a kindly and inquiring look to see what was tickling his neck

SURVIVAL OF A CHAIR.
WOnd erfu1 Preservation of the Piece of Furniture at the Time of
 Mont Pelee's Eruption

At the time we left Roraima she waA afire from her stem to the aft engine room bulkhead. As we looked back we saw a strange thing, says Chief Officer Scott's account of the loss of the Roraima in Martinique harbor, in LesIie's Monthly. A common reed chair, such as you often see on the deck of transatlantic liner, was hanging in the air to the ships stern. It had been fastened to the after flag and braced below so that it hung off in space just beyond the reach of the flames. Some poor devil had rigged it there and sat in it to save himself from fire, afraid to jump on account of the fierce rush of the volcanic cur rents below. We could see him there, sitting in his chair, long before we left the, ship, at the back of the solid wall of fire which divided us from him, and he must have suffered terribly before he dropped from his perch and went overheard. We could not get at him on account of the fire in the forward part of the saloon, but a stateroom was at hand close by, with plenty of life buoys, and he might have got one and put it on; but, strangely enough, after all that fire there hung the empty chair literally intact. The next morning the chair still hung there un- harmed.

A CLOSE CALL FOR THE LAD.

As narrow an escape as was ever witnessed was seen by about fifty peo' pie, at the corner of Hicks and Sackett streets, when the fire engine No 103 responding to an alarm from Clinton and Sackett streets, bore down upon Luke B. Duryea, Jr, the 14-year-old son of Bridge Policeman Duryea, who lives at 155a Sackett street. The little fellow ran out into the street to watch the engine and hose wagon go by, not thinking that the fremen would turn into- Sackett street. Before he realized his danger he was almost under the feet of the horses. The people in the nefghborhood expected to see him run over, and shuddered as they turned their eyes away. Instead of being trampled by the horses and mangled by the wheels under the heavy engine, however, the boy clung to the pole or tongue of the engine and was thus car ried in safety until Driver Quigley could stop the horses. By the time he had done so the tongue on which the boy was clinging was turned so as to protrude over the sidewalk, the driver
 realizing that if the little fellow lost his hold and fell his only chance would be in falling out of the way of the horses and engine.-Brooklyn Eagle.

New Use for Dried Peas.

IA most interesting place is the in- terior of a powder factory, where fine and special brands of smoke1ess pow der and powder used for sporting pur- poses are made. The smokeless pow der, which, like all other gunpowder, is composed of three ingredients charcoal, saltpetre and splphur-re- quires certain kind of charcoal, which the manufacturers discovered at the cost of a great deal of experi- menting with fine cedar, boxwood, maple and ash charcoal. The special charcoal used in the manufacture of smokeless and other brands of fine powder is made, surprising though it may seem, of dried peas, which are ''burned" to charcoal in 6Ins like any other vegetable material used for the same purpose. These dried peas make a very fine and light charcoal that is in great demand in the manu- facture of fine npowder.- Scientific American.
