pearance Of some new puglllstic Won

recently Jeifries talked considerably
about his future.
lie has not yet made any plans and
Is probably much as Fitzsimmons des-
orihes him-a man who does not make
up his mind until about two days be-
fore he does a thing. Jeifries has had
his choice OF four propositions, He can
30 on the stage with FitzslmmOns or
Corhett or by himself. lie can forego
the stage, and meet such men as have
the nerve to fight him He can remain
Idle or he can 60 abroad.
The first proposition does not partic-
ularly appeal to Jeffries, He Is not In
love with the business Of doing a turn
In connection with n show. II goes all
right for a few weeks, bat JEFF gets
tired Of II long before the winter ends
Besides Il is an inducement TO take life
too easy,
The second proposition does not car
~ any gittering prospects with IT,
Jeffrles might take on Jack Munroe, but
the newspapers would all call the bout
plain case Of murder, and Munroe
would not draw enough 10 mako ~
fair pay any great amount Of monnv,
After Munroe, there Is really no one -
meet The best he could do would be
TO take on other marks, and such bust
ness would quickly be played out. JEFF
can see little In fighting the men that
this country can now furnish as OPP
ponents
The third prospect-that Of remains
ing idle-does not naturally appeal 10
man who can make money, Jefrles
is fairly well fixed, but has not saved
so much Of his money that he can af-
ford to shut of his income. There Is
no chance that he VIII do nothing.

Hospital a Certainty.

The visit of Bishop Rowe has given an impetus to the hospital plan and we are now assured that the project will be carried through.
 A meeting of the hospital com mittee was held a week ago Tues day, at which Bishop Rowe offered to donate $500 cash. and furnish the amount necessary for the first cost of equipment. He will also supply a nurse and housekecper, whose salaries will be paid by tho Board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal church.
 The amount now on hand and available for hospital purposes, is as follows; Proceeds of Eagle ball. $l17; collection at Epiphany church, Mason's day, $2O; hospital benefit entertainment, $l62.5O; contribution of Bishop Rowe, $500; making a total of $799.5O.
 A second meeting of the commit tee was held Monday. The plans were looked over. and it was de- cided that the bishop should take the plans of the building to Seattle, where necessary alterations will be made. after which the specifications will be returned to Governor Leedy, where they may be seen by inter- ested parties. It is intended to erect $2.OO0 building, which will be a credit to the town.
 c. N. Crary has donated a piece of ground, l50xl50, from his reserv- ation property, for a site.
 In an interview the bishop an- nounced himself as well pleased with the progress made in the hos pital matter. He wishes it under stood that while the church organ ization is behind this project to insure permanency, the hospital will bc strictly non-sectarian. Anyone will be admitted regardless of religious belief. He has been assured of the hearty cooperation of the citizens. and the hospital will Dc rushed to completion as soon as possible.

Froze to Death.

The body of Max Becker was hauled to town from the sum- init of Marshall pass last Saturday morning by some men who were returning to town from the interior. Becker, in company with c. E. Smith, left Valdez Sunday morn- ing, April IF, bound for the Nizina. They took but one sled and an out fit of about 150 pounds. Tuesday, after hard uphill haul they reached the summit in a tired and over-heated condition. A storm was coming up and they laid down to rest, in scanty blankets, with neither stove nor tent. The storm ragged all night and early in the morning, Becker, who was evident ly delirious, got up and attempted to move away; he took but a few steps when he gave a shout and dropped dead. His companion, Smith, immediately started out to look for assistance. The trail was obliterated and after wandering about for thirty-six hours he was found lying across the trail and only four miles from the dead man, in a delirious condition. He was taken care of and brought to town by the same party who later picked up the body of Becker.
 During the time that Smith was wandering around lost, George Esterly, Chas. Crary and Guy Banta, who were on their way into the interior, found the dead man, and while one endeavored to trace up the wanderer by his foot prints the others wrapped tie body in a tarpaulin and left it on the trail, where it was found Friday morn- ing. by Blei, Steele and Ed dwards and brought to town.
 Smith is a large, well-built man, while the deceased was a slight, delicate man, probably weighing a hundred pounds or less. Having no stove, the lived on cakes which they bought at roadhouses, and for water they ate snow.
 When the body of Becker reached town it was taken in charge by the members of the order of Eagles and was buried in the cemetery adjoin- ing town. Sunday.
 Max Becker was a resident of Ft. Wayne, Indiana, and a member in good standing of Aerie No. ?, of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, of Spo- kane, Washington.

Cram was heard with much pleasure in vocal solo. The selection "Tell Me Pretty Maiden" from Florodora by Misses Root, Mcdowell, Leedy and Mrs. Santee and Messrs Cooper, Price, Hall and Cannon was exceedingly well rendered and greatly enjoyed.

OSC1R ". CROSS.

The death of Oscar N. Gross in
Savannah, Georgia, was announced by
telegram on Monday morning. Death
was due to cirrhosis OF the liver and
heart trouble. The body will be
brought to this city Tor burial.
Oscar Newell Gross was born in the
red prick house on Barre street just
above Hubbard street corner, now
owned by A. @. Blanchard. January
10, 1S41, and had lived all his life in
Montpelier. He attended the acad-
emy in this city and upon finishing
school he at once went to work for his
father in the confectionery busn ess.
He learned the trade but worked at it
only short time, being obliged to
leave it on account Of his health. He
was man of inventive genius and at
one time made refrigerator of origi-
nal design and mechanism which
proved to be very useful affair.
Several of these are now in use in this
city. He was fondly devoted to his
home and family and never recovered
from the shock Of his wife's sudden
death on May 10th last. One of the
chief reasons for going south in addi-
tion to the change in climate for his
health was to seek, by change of
scene, relief from the grief which op-
pressed him.
This has been a grief filled year for
the Gross family marked by the deaths
of Mrs. Oscar Gross, Mrs. L. B. Gross,
and the most recent death. Henry W.
Stevens death also struck very near
home, as Mr.. Stevens had been in the
employ of @. II Gross and Son for
nearly thirty years. Mr., Gross is sur
vived only by father, O. H. Gross,
who is very old man, one daughter,
Miss H. Julia Cross. and two broth
ers, L Bart Gross of this city and
George H., of st. Johnsbury.

to sever his connection with the
