o'coNNeLLs GOODNESS.
a story Of the Irish LIberator and =
Falling FLOOR.


Daniel O'Connell was once address.
ing an enormous meeting in Kings
town. and the crowd was so large that
rcar was felt for the safety Of the
building As he was about to speak
gentleman ascended the platform and
said, trembling with fear: "Liberator,
The no9r is giving way. The beams are
cracking and we shall all fall through
in a few minutes" 1t is not given to
many men to live through such mo
mcnts as O'COnnell lived through as he
rose to address the meeting nor to pre-
serve such magnificent courage in the
face of great peril Warning the man
to keep quiet, the libcrator said. Il find
this room too small to contain the num-
ber who desire to come In, so we must
therefore leave It and hold the meeting
outside" A few rose to leave. hut the
hall was still packed. and then 0 Con
nell said: "Then | VIII tell you the
truth You are Irlshmen and therefore
brave men. The floor is giving way,
and we must leave this room at once.
If there Is a panic and a rush TO the
door, we shall all be preclpitated into
the room below, but II you obey my
orders we shall be safe. Let the dozen
men nearest the door 90 quietly out.
then the next dozen, and so on until all
have gone. | shall be the last to leave" ="
The Irishmen followed the advice. the
hall was quickly cleared. and rs O'Con-
nell walked across the door the broken
beams gave way.-OXford Chronicle.

 It is proposed to build ditch from Flam beau to Hastings, in the Nome country, distance of 26 miles, at a cost of s30,OOO. A Solomon man proposed to swim Behring Sea and accomplished quar- ter of mile of his journey before he was captured.

 Coarse gold has been found in con- siderable quantities on Boring creek, a small tundra stream putting into the Sea few miles west of Nome.

Officers of the White Pass & Yukon notified shippers Oct 9th that no more freight would be accepted either for immediate shipment to Dawson or storage at Whitehorse this winter.
 The case of Nilima vs. The Hot Air Mining Co.,, being tried at Nome, has developed some very sensational fea- lures. It appears that w. T. Love and John l.. McGinn, attorneys for the plaintiff, have added the purchase and sale of evidence to their other ac- complishments.
 A prospector named T. J. Minsse, who spent year in the Mt. Mckinley country, states that it is a highly min eralized region. A number of pros pectors, be says, are in that section. The creeks are gold-bearing, but owing to the remoteness of that section from base of supplies real mining or pros pecting is almost impossible.
 Municipal affairs in Dawson are in first. class condition, says Mayor Me Lehman. According to the city's charter it cannot borrow, so that all expenditures must come out of the s15O,O00 annual income from all sources, mostly from direct taxes. That amount is sufficient to allow the affairs of the town to be carried on in we'll ordered manner"
 The tunnel at the Copper Mountain has struck lead of high grade ore, though it has not reached the point at which anything of value was expected to be found, says the Ketchikan Journ- al.

 Iktuk, Cape Prince of Wales na- tive, is in town buying supplies for the winter, says the Nome Nugget. Iktuk speaks English fuently, is the owner of 50 reindeer, and is altogether a pros porous native. Besides he is the only native in his region who owns mining claim. His claim is situated on the Ounacovik river and for the past four years he has kept up his assessment work. This year, he says, in seven pans he got 25 cents.
 What might have proven fatal acci' dent was agerted on No. 8 Dexter on Tuesday last, says a Nome correspon- dent of the P. I. George Baker, the su- perintendent of the claims, at about the hour of noon, went to the face of the gravel bank to make an examina- tion, when many tons of earth caved in suddenly, burying his body completely. The men realizing that before he could be shoveled out death would ensue, adopted the heroic method of hydraul- icing their boss out of a bad hole; so the giant was turned on the recent cave and as a result in less seconds than it takes to tell it, Superintendent Baker showed evidences of being on the sur face. He was quickly extricated from what would have been most mems graves, and after little care and nurs- ing was as good man physically as ever. His escape was narrow one and was due entirely to the coolheadedness of those subordinate to him.

For over thirty years the memory of William M. Seward has been maligned because of the purchase of Alaska when he was the American secretary of state. Now it comes out that Seward was only nominally to be credited with the purchase of Alaska from Russia and that the real factor in negotiating the purchase was the late General Cassius M. Clay, then minister to Russia for the United States.

 The steamer Bertha sailed tonight for Valdez and way ports with every inch of her available space taken with freight from Tacoma and Seattle, says the Tacoma Ledger of the 8th inst. In fact, some of the cabins are filled with freight so as to make as much room as possible. The Bertha will have but few passengers, as there are not many people going into the Valdez country at this time of the year. Her freight is destined for almost every point of call, Yukutat, Kayak, Seldovia, El- lamar, Orca and other ports.
 A. Howick, assistant superintendent of the Teller reindeer station, is in town. The reindeer herd at that place has done we'll, and the deer are mostly owned by the herders. Out of GOO only g reindeer are now owned by the gov ernment. The rest have passed into the hands of the Lapp and native herd CTS, who have completed their five years apprenticeship and have been allotted their deer. Rev. T. l..

The body selected twenty nine delegates to the territorial conventian called for Juneau, Nov. 10, who were in structed to vote for c. s. Johnson and w. T.

 Nome's financial condition is any. thing but cheerful. In spite of in- creased revenue and the promises made in last springs campaign, the city council has managed to squander every dollar that came into it's control and the city's debt is still something over S30,OOO with the creditors clamoring.
