REFUSES TO REMIT FINE.
Acting Mayor stockmar Is Firm
Against Carrying Weapons.

Acting Mayor Stockmar announced his
opposition to the carrying of concealed
weapons yesterday in emphatic tones.
His attention was called to a fine Of 800
imposed for the offense, and he was
asked to remit the amount. This he re-
fused to do, saying he believed in giving
the limit of law in all such cases.
M. Goodman was yesterday fined 500
for carrying concealed a pair of knucks.
This offense is equally as grave as carry
ing a revolver. During the past two days
three fines, two of 800 and one of 500,
have been imposed for this offense.

YOUNG RULERS OF THE WORLD.

President Roosevelt Not the Youngest
Man at Head of a Great Nation.
President Roosevelt is our youngest
President, and there is much talk Of his
being the embodiment Of the young
blood which is to put America above
all other nations. But President Roose-
welt is not the only young ruler in the
world. In fact, he is older than at least
nineteen rulers of the great nations OF
to-day. William Of Germany is three
months younger; Nicholas of Russia is
only 80 years of age; and the Emperor
Of China is ten years younger STILL
Possibly he might not be counted as
ruler by some people, but still his name
is recognized, no matter who pulls the
strings in the Chinese court. Victor
Emmanuel of Italy is % and Wilhel-
nina Of Holland only q. Alphonso Of
Spain is probably the youngest ruler Of
all, as he is not yet 16. Charles l. of
Portugal is under 40, and Ferdinand of
Bulgaria is not yet Al. Abbas IL,
Khedive Of Egypt, is not more than %;
Alexander Of Servia, but %; Thankful,
King of Siam, %, and Prince George Of
Greece, Governor of Crete, 30. Among
the rulers Of the little German States,
Ernest Louis Of Hesse is 33; Frederic of
Waldeck SO and Charles Edward Of
SaxeCoburg, but II. Several rulers in
India are under 80, and in the western
hemisphere, r. Inglesais, President Of
Costa RIGA, is less than 40.

predecessors of years ago, or else the
world is easier to rule than then. Ger

Great one of the most clever Of them
all in simple sleight of hand tricks, was
with us only a few years ago, and his
successor is now performing. Then
we vet have Kellar, who has carried
mechanical tricks and deception by the

"But the fact is that these clever men
fail to excite more than very little
interest because their tricks and their
ways and their methods are all to we'll
known. Their performances have been
exploited to the utmost detail, and our
children now know how tricks that

founding are performed, and many of
them are clever enough to repeat them
in our parlors.

mirrors, the possibilities of electricity
and lights, what mechanics can accom-

he is only surviving as an adjunct to

Prof. Georgeson, who has been rep
resenting the Department Of Agricul-
ture in Alaska, has prepared a pleas
ant surprise for the American people.
1t appears that the current notion Of
Alaska as a bleak and somewhat ter
rifying wilderness, Astounding chiefly
in gold deposits and rigorous winters,
is not altogether accurate. Alaska can
be made the home of the farmer as
we'll as that Of the miner. There are
at least four strips of territory, says
Prof. Georgeson, where for about 400
miles the harder grains can be Gull
tivated with success. It is true these
strips are not so spacious as the Mis-
sissippi Valley, being only thirty or
forty miles wide at most. But, small
as they are, they are fertile, and on
their 100000 acres it is thought
that a population Of 100000 people
might find a comfortable subsistence.
Besides the cereals, vegetables are
found to thrive in the Alaskan eli
mate. and during the past year the
town Of Dawson was fully supplied
with green vegetables grown at home.
It was also proved that grazing is a
prospective Alaskan industry. Horses,
sheep and cattle can find excellent pas
ture and can get through the winter
even when turned out to find their own
food. What with cereals, therefore,
and vegetables and stock, the farmer
Of the Yukon valley will be able to set
tie down in that part Of the world as
a permanent resident. 1t is to be under
stood, Of course, that the hardships Of
Alaskan life are undeniable. While the
country is by no means the gigantic
iceberg which some people suppose it
to be, yet the climate is little bit more
than bracing, and the farms, though
good. can never be of the kind called
bonanza. Alaskan agriculture, as Prof.
Georgoson remarks, is for the small
farmer, who shall own his own land
and who shall support himself largely
by what he himself produces. To such
a man, intelligent and industrious,
Alaska offers great opportunities, for,
like the Great American DESERT and
much of the Canadian Northwest Terri
tory, it has outlived its reputation for
sterility and hopelessness, and is now
ready to be exploited.
