WALL STREET NO LONGER
 LEADS.

A good deal of financial pressure and excitement has been noted in Wall street during the year. The country has been mainly d spectator. Wall street nurries such as have been wit messed in the last few months. may be classed as local phenomena. What has been described as a rich mans panic has troubled speculative cir cles, but has not touched the people generally nor their industries Even the venturesome rich are still rich with a few exceptions. though an i'm mense amount of water has been squeezed out of extravagantly promot- ed schemes. In his report just pub ,ished Secretary of the Treasury Shaw says that within q year the market value of stocks and bonds has deDre- ciated in an amount beyond the cost of the civil war, yet notwithstandiny this enormous and inconCeivable shrinkage, it has not affected in mo- ticeable degree other classes of prop erty" All the population are busy, failures are few; banks are strongly fortified; manufacturers are fully em- ployed and are exporting more of their products than ever before; rail- roads are turning every wheel; our foreign commerce has been surpassed in only one year, and then but slight ly; a treasury surplus of S14,00C,OO) for the present fiscal year is expected; all American dollars are as good as gold, and the government holdings of gold are immense. The outlook for business continues excellent.
 In the presence of these conditions of national prosperity. the speculative and syndicate operations of Wan street are a minor matter. But there is another important feature to be considered in connection with the de- cline of the old Wall street para mountcy. The west now owns itself It is out of debt. It has surplus of cash. It's products form the great bulk of foreign exports. The Missjs- sipi valley is the richest and most fruitful region on the globe. and it is one of vast extent in farming, manu- featuring and mining. Wall streets sensations. manipulations and combi- nations have become a side issue, compared with the larger fact mem toned. The tens of billions in sub- stance can not be seriously shaken by the ups and down of billions on paper or in watered stock. Free from debt and with money of it's own, the west regards a Wall street panic among big spectators with more of curiosity than concern. Industrial interests throughout the country take the same view of the case. and feel the same sense of calm security.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A Queens Assertion of a Woman's S
 Right.

Viewed in the right light there is no good reason why there should be a lot of exclamation because Margherita, dowager queen of Italy. has married an engineer, or because she is 52 and the engineer is 30.
 When King HumbeTt was slain by an assassin, Queen Margherita was pros trated with grief and her life was thought to be in danger. But the world is familiar with the fact that violent and noisy grie1s soon pass away, and now that Margherita no longer mourns for the dead king, it is the natural thing for her to recover her former buo; ancy of spirits. If she was will ing to undergo all the mortificati lions which were sure to follow her mar riage outside the circles Cf royalty. her former subjects should not complain. And as for the disparity Of age be- tween her and her youthful bridegroom. why shouldn't a woman have the same rights as a man in that regard?
 It is considered entirely proper for man of 52 to marry girl of 30, or even a child of 20. and often we see some ex- uberant old fellow in the seventies leading young and-presumably- blushing bride to the altar. And cer- tainly, a woman who has ruled as queen ever all Italy should not be bar red from the privileges which are ac- corded to ordinary mon

Joe Jefferson's Fish Story.

Jo-erh Jefferson has this story to tell or an incident that occurred at Buz- zard's Pay. near his favNite fishing mounds lest summer. The hero was a shopkaeper, who, among other things, rold fishing rods. For the purpose of advertising them, he had large rcd hanging outside the shop with an art cic:al fish at the end of it. Late one right a town5man who had been din- ing a bit too well, happened to see this fish. He looked at it and then went cautiously to the door and knocked gently.
 Who's there?" demanded the shop keeper from an upper window.
 "Sh-h! Don't make a noise but come down as quietly as you can was the reply.
 Thinking something serious was the matter, the man dressed and stole down stairs.
 Now what's the matter?" he in cured.
 Hist Pull your line in quick; you've got bite!" admomshed the bibu'ous tCwnsman.

GREAT BALL
Record for Mileage on the
 Diamond Made.

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.l
 Whitehorse, July 3O-The Never sweats, composed of employees of the W. P. X Y. R., and team recruited from the Northwest mounted police, played one of the most remarkable games oi baseball that ever took place in the North. The score was iS to l2 in favor oi the former.
 As the score indicates, one Of the features of the game was the heavy batting ot the NeverSweats. Caswell made the hardest hit ever made on the Whltehorse diamond He not only made a home run, but the ball has not been found yet. 10 passed musher about one milo south of Whuchorse and still had good speed on. Hainer made two three-baggers. In the seventh inning Corbett swatted the ball out about a half mile, when the bases were au full. Everyone came in, and Corbett just went around the diamond twice Co show what he could do. The Neversweats now claim the champion ship Of the North, for making the most mileage in any one game Of baseball.
 The game was called at 8 D. m and ended at 9:25 p. m. Time: | hourS and % minutes.
 The whole town turned out and the people were so interested that they couldn't leave the field Co go to supper. Jack Phelps came Co the rescue by having a wash boiler tull Of beans sent out with two barrels oi hard tack and a case of pepper sauce.

Sails for Skaters.

Considering the number of persons
in this country that indulge in skat-
ing, it is somewhat of a surprise to
see how few of them have ever used
a skate sail, or in fact have ever
heard of such a thing. However, in
the last few years this sport has be-
come better known, and it is not an
uncommon sight to see dashing hith-
er and thither among the dark forms
of the skaters, the glistening sails of
the skate sailors.
To the onlooker it seems at the first
glance that the sailor must certainly
lose his balance and topple over, so
sharply does he lean backward
against his sail; but so strong is the
force of the wind exerted against it
that this expected fall is seldom a
reality When it does happen the un-
fortunate is usually a novice.
There are but few requisites for the
enjoyment of this pastime. First
and of the most Importance is a pair
of sharp skates. A few yards of cot
ton cloth and some small poles fur
n;sh the rest of the material. From
these any person can with little care
fashion a sail that will furnish him
with many a happy hour.-Country
Life in America.

CHAPTER VIII.

"The Silver Link, the Silken Tie"
If Katherine had lived at this day,
she would probably have spent the
time between her promise and its ful-
filment in self-analysis and introspec-
tive reasoning with her own con-
science. But the women of century
ago were not tossed with winds Of var
ious opinions, or made foolishly sub
tile by arguments about principles
which ought never to be associated
with dissent. A few strong, plain
dictates had been set before Katherine
as the law of her daily life; and she
knew, beyond all controversy, when
she disobeyed Thorn.
In her own heart, she called the sin
she had determined to commit by Its
most unequivocal name. 81 shall make
happy Richard; but my father / shall
deceive and disobey, and against my
own soul there will be the lie." This
was the position she admitted, but
every woman is Eve in some hour OF
her life The law of truth and wisdom
may be in her ears, but the apple of de-
light hangs within her reach; and,
with a full understanding of the conse-
uuences of disobedience, she takes the
forbidden pleasure.
There are women who prefer secrecy
to honest, and sin to truthfulness; but
Katherine was not one of them. II 1t
had been possible TO see her lover
honorably, she would have much pre-
ferred it, but she knew well the storm
of reprCach and disapproval which
would answer any such request; and
her thoughts were all bent toward de-
vising. some plan which would enable
her to leave home early on that morn
ing which she had promised her lover.
But all her little arrangements fail
ed: and it was almost at the last hour
of the evening previous. that circum-
stances offered her a reasonable ex-
cuse. 1t came through Batavius, who
returned home later than. usual, bring
ing with him great many patterns oil
dsmask and figured cloth and stamped
leather. At once he announced his
intention of staying at home the next
aid in selecting the coverings for their
new chairs, and counting up their cost.
He had taken the strips out OF his
pocket with an air Of Importance ana
complaisance; ant Katherine, glanc-
ing from them to her mother, thought
she perceived a fleeing shadow OF a
feeling very much akin to her own
contempt of the mans pronounced sell
satisfaction. So when supper was
over, and the house duties done sne
determined to speak to her. Joris was
at a town meeting. and Lysbet did not
interfere with the lovers. Katherine
found her standing at an open WINDOW
looking thoughtfully into the autumn
garden.

An Eagle Drowned by Its Prev,

A colony of American eagles has
made its home along the shores OF
Chautauqua Lake for many years. A
story is told of one of these birds which
is verified by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dykeman, who reside on Bayfield,
farm, who witnessed the incident that
is truly remarkable.
The eagle was gracefully soaring
over the lake when it suddenly darted
with lightning rapidity toward the
water, catching in its talons a musk
allonge two feet or more in length and
weighing probably ten pounds. There
was clash and splashing of fins and
feathers, but slowly the bird rose in
the air with its captive dangling and
wriggling below. When at a height OF
about 1000 feet the bird, still clinging
10 the fish, began to sink slowly toward
the lake again, gaining speed as it de-
scended, and finally fell with a splash
in the water Later the bird and fish
were found together dead
The fish had evidently been too heavy
for the eagle to carry. but its claws
were so firmly imbedded in the flesh
that it could not release its hold. and
as its strength gave way ank into
the water whence it y ught its
prey and was drowp r., Cour-
Ter. ~

Now, here was the real Katherine
Her very presence, her smiles, her
tears, her words, would be a consola'
ton so far beyond all hope, that the
girl by her side seemed a kind OF
miracle to her.
She was far more than miracle to
Hyde. AS the door opened, he slowly
turned his head. When he saw who
was really there, he uttered a low cry
Of joy,-a cry pitiful in its shrill weak
ness. In a moment Katherine was
close to his side. She kissed his hands
and face, and whispered on his lips
the sweetest words Of love and fidelity.
Hyde was in a rapture. He lay still,
speeches., motionless, watching and
listening to her.
Hyde could speak little, but there
was no need of speech Had he not
nearly died for her? Was not his very
helplessness plea beyond the power
of words And so quickly so quick
ly. went the happy moments! Ere
Katherine had half said, 81 love thee,
Mrs. Gordon reminded her that 1t was
near the noon.
"Then we must part, my Katherine,
for little When will you come
again."
This was painful question, because
Katherine felt, that, however she
might excuse herself for the unfore-
seen stress of pity that all unaware
int intlrV1GW
she knew she could not find the same
apology for one deliberate and pre-
arranged.
"Only once more" Hyde pleaded. Il
had, my Katherine, SO many things to
say to you. In my Joy, l forgot all.
Come but once more. Upon my honor,
promise to ask Katherine Van
Heemskrk only this once. To-mor-
row? No. Two days hence, them
1.-TWO days hence l will come again.
Then no more"
He smiled at her, and put out his
hands; and she knelt again by his side,
and kissed her farewell" on his lips.
And. as she put on again her cloak
and veil, he drew a small volume to-
wards him, and with trembling hands
tore out of it scrap Of paper, and
gave it to her.
Under the lilac hedge that night she
read it, read it over and over,-the bit
OF paper made almost warm and SEN
tent by Phoedria's tender petition to
his beloved
when you are in company with
that other man, behave as If you were
absent; but continue to love me by day
and by night; want me, dream OF me,
expect me, think Of me, wish for me,
delight in me, be wholly with me:
in short, be my very soul, as l am
yours"
