Against the Sale of the

NeaV YoTle Sun Special Se7'vtoo
Copenhagen, Feb. 1.-THE protests
against the sale Of the Danish West In
dies to the United States are increasing
in vehemence. It is alleged that the Dan
ish semi-ofHcial agent, Captain Christ

ttate secretly in favor of the sale, used
bribery. Captain Christmas is now en-
gagged in a bitter controversy with an

has recently withdrawn his support from
the advocates of the sale, thereby en-
couraging it's opponents. The latter, in
increasing numbers, hope when all the
sale doings are exposed the Americans
will become disgusted and stop the nego-
tiatiOnS.

Purdy No Doubt Sorry He Parted
With His Wife.
FORTUNE MADE IN THE KLoND1KE
Former Toledo Woman Kept n
Boarding House and Acquired
Mining Properties.
New YORK !su. .so.e.a, s.-x.o..

Toledo, Ohio, Feb. 17.-Mrs. Charles
Purdy has returned to Teledo from
the Klondike with money to throw at the
birds. During her four years residence
in the Klondike, besides keeping a
clearinghouse and hotel, she bought
and sold claims aggregating millions OF
dollars, and when she finally picked up
stakes and came away, it was with over
million dollars in gold dust.
Mrs. Purdy was the wife of Charles
Purdy, who was manager of the Toledo
Transfer company ten years ago and 2
brother-in-law OF NJ. J. Enright, then
president Of the Toledo Transfer Mr..
Purdy and his wife started west Toledo
friends next heard of them at Vancouver
island This was five or six years ago.
Nothing more was heard from either until
Mrs. Purdy returned to this city. She
registered at the Hotel Madison, where
she received a number OF her former
friends. She spoke modestly Of her good
luck, and il it had not been for lavish
expenditure of money for jewelry and
dressing, no one would have suspected
that she was a millionaire.
Shortly after reaching Vancouver Island,
Mr.. and Mrs. Purdy agreed to disagree
and they separated, Mrs. Purdy going to
the Klondike, while her husband returned
to Tacoma, where, when she last heard
from him, he was on the front end OF
trolley car.
Boarding House as Starter.
Upon reaching the Klondike Mrs. Purdy
started a boarding house north of the
White Pass and at the point where the
great mass of miners were obliged to cross
the Yukon river. For time she did her
own cooking and housekeeping and the
hotel became very popular She made
money rapidly and reinvested it carefully
She bought claim after claim, and when
a miner became discouraged and desired
to return to the states, she was there
with the cash, ready to buy him out.
l.. Besides looking after her business in
terests, she ran a hospital, where hun
dreds Of destitute miners were entered
free Of cost. One Of her first lucky
strikes was third interest in claim
which she bought for a few hundred dol
lars and when she sold out eight months
later her net profit was 100000.
She still has large interests in the kon-
dixie and holds partnership interest IN
& half dozen we'll paying mines. Many
Toledons remember her as the little
dressmaker who in the days Of yore had
more beaux on her string than any belle
here. She was left an orphan at an
early age and for several ye ars was
protege of the family of the late Captain
Purdy. She is 35 years, of age.

New York, Feb. Ito establish an

latest proposition of some of the mem bers

TIPPED EVERYBODY
BUT THE QUEEN

Pittsburg Dispatch: Although Lord
Roberts is the first great person to de-
cline to pay the fees exacted of him
in connection with his honors, he is
by no means the only one who has
protested against them. Indeed, the
late Archbishop of York made hum
orous complaint thereof to Queen Vic
toria when he received an audience to
pay homage on his elevation to the
primacy, for as he rose from his knees
he exclaimed:
"Ma'am, you're the only official per-
sonage | have seen since my nom!na-
tion who has not asked me for a fee."
In his case the fees amounted to
nearly $4,000. and comprised. among
other extraordinary items, 5000 for
gloves to the members of the chapter
OF the minister of York, $50 for the
sovereign's gentleman of the cellar.
$50 to the sovereign's chief cook and
$40 to the sovereign's barber.

camps in the territory named. The
test referred to is trial of processes
for the extraction of the precious
metals. and the success of one or
