Think They Have Found Noah's
Ark In Alaska.

TACOMA, WASH, July 2-T. A. Reib, Sec
rotary of the Skagway Y. M. c. A., has re-
turned from the interior of Alaska. where he
talked with the Indians, whose earnest stat
ements, he believes, fully confirms previous
reports that the indians of the Lower Yukon
have discovered an immense petri6ed ship on
Porcupine river, near the Attic circle aud
north of Rampant, Alaska.
When asked regarding its size the Indians
traced its dimensions on the ground indicating
length of 1900 feet.
Such Indians as are familiar with the Bible
are convinced that the ship is none other than
Noah's ark. Reid intends to return TO the
interior of Alaska this summer, when he will
take some Indians and request army officers
to detail soldiers to accompany him. The
ship lies on high hill thousands of feet above
the sea level

DISASTROUS STORM.
Great Damage to buildings, Crops, Forests,
Telephone, &c.

About 8 D. M on July 8, heavy, threatening
elouds gathered in the west and north, indl-
eating a severe storm. Shortly before 4
O'clock the clouds lifted, showing dangerous
looking streak of whiteish-y yellow, presaglng
heavy wind. In a few minutes the storm
burst with great fury. Binding clouds OF
dust and sand were hurled with great force;
limbs were torn from trees and trees were
Frustrated, slate blown from roofs, roofs in
iured by flying debris, shutters and signs torn
from buildings, fences and small buildings
blown down and shrubbery and gardens IN
jured.
In the adjacent country much damage re-
suited to grain and growing crops; buildings
were damaged doors wrenched from barns,
fences beaten down, shocks of wheat were
carried ont of the fields and many sheaves
were torn open and the wheat scattered.
The greatest loss reported is from Union
Mills TO and beyond Silver Run. In Union
Mills many shade and ornamental trees were
Frustrated and several buildings were dam
aged. Along the turnpike trees were down,
rendering travelling difficult.
In Silver Run about one third of the roof OF
the old Union Church was torn off and fell /,
crushing the surrey of Mr.. Thomas Erb, of
Westminster, who was attending the funeral
of Mrs. Alice Little at the Reformed Church.
A number of windows in that church were
broken, and several persons say they felt the
ediHce rock. I'll reported that much damage
was done to forests and to farm buildings IN
that neighborhood.
The new building of Mascot Bros, just
outside the corporation limits OF Westminster,
on the turnpike, was moved about eighteen

lights were broken.

Is HE AN AMERICAN
Mr.. Reid Badly Put Out-Said to Have Con-
cesled His Visit to William Waldorf Aston.

New YoRK, June ga cablegram from
London to New York Journal and American
says:
ut is reported that Whitelaw Reid is bit
terly disappointed by the postponement of the
coronation, which has deprived him OF the
coveted opportunity of appearing IN West,
minister Abbey before the King and Queen and
princes of all the world in court costume.
The disappointment is wholly personal, for
Mr.. Reid does not consider the fact that he
has spent tens of thousands Of dollars IN
London.
"The rent of Brook House cost him $40, OOO
for month. It is reported that he had pre-
pared many splendid dinners and balls for the
post. coronation month, to which he had bid
den all the royalties, princes and ENJOYS IN
London. Now that these entertainments are
impossible because of the illness of the King,
Mr.. Reid is reported very unhappy, for ne had
been ambitious to make his functions memo
rable for their splendor, even among the lavish
coronation entertainments arranged by royal
ties and famous peers.
"During Ascot week MIR. Reid was the
guest of William Waldorf Astor for several
GAYS. The London papers did not mention
the fact, because Mr.. Reid did not care to
have it known in the United States that ne had
been the guest of the expatriated American
millionaire and the most unpopular subject
of the King

What makes the happy relation between man and
woman, is an eternally interesting question, and
clever discussion of why marriages fail, presented
by Rafford Pyke in his article 1.-THE Womans Side,,
is certain to receive the very wide consideration
which has been given to that authors previous ar
tcles on the discussion of woman versus man. The
July Cosmopolitan seems TO be almost equally di
vided in interest between men and women. can
Experiment in Domestic Finance" is another en-
tirely novel article which will appeal to women
while some twenty pages devoted to the Captains
of Industry" will receive the consideration of men
in all classes of business. The Cosmopolitan has
undertaken to present series of brief sketches of
the men who are leaders in finance, manufactures
and commerce, not prepared in of hand way, but
by writers of the greatest ability who have exact
knowledge Of their subjects. The series thus far
produced has attracted the widest attention. While
the press has presented endless number of illus
tratons of the Mont Pelee disaster the illustrations
in the July Cosmopolitan give clearer idea just
what that disaster means than anything hitherto

A few years ago the appropriations by a
Republican Congress, for two years, aggre-
gated one billion of dollars, and resulted in
the next House of Representatives having a
large Democratic majority. What will the
people say of the present Congress, whose
appropriations for single session have ag-
gregated about billion of dollars? And with
prospects, too, of another billion being ap-
propriated at the next session Have they
