UNDER BFRING STRAIT.
Capitalists Propose a Tunnel for a
 Railroad There.


 From Washington to Brooklyn Eagle.
 Secretary Hitchcock has been asked to approve the proposed construction of a railroad under Boring Strait, to connect with the Siberian Railway. The rrojec- tors of the road are French and Russian capitalists, and with them are certain American bankers. Count de Lobet of Paris and John J. Healy of Alaska, head the list of incorporators, who have taken out their charter under the laws of Maine.
 The application for right of way through Alaska will undoubtedly be followed by an. application to Congress for a land grant through the territory conditioned after the Northern Pacific grant The pe- tition is probably a forerunner to a re- quest to the United States to neutralize Bering Strait so that in the event Of war no advanage would be given to the ene- mics of Russia. Russian officers demand this as a condi ton of the Russian government giving further support to the road or confirming the. concessions of land heretofore grant ed
 The petition sets forth that the route is along certain portions of the Pacific Coast to Juneau, and thence by a westerly d. rection to the most westerly point of Alaska, extending to the Boring Sea. It Is the purpose to construct a tunnel from l that point under Boring Strait to the S- berian mainland. Promise is m2de to file | a map later disclosing the exact course | which the proposed road shall take, par ticularly across the Territory of Alaska. Secretary Hitchcock is asked on behalf of the incorporators to fix day for a l hearing, when the representatives and agents of the ka-Siberian Rail way Company may appear and fully ex- ] plain the plans and establish with tae de- partment the good faith of the enter prise
 They claim they can manifest the abil- l ity of the incorporators to construct the | road. and state their willingness to file a 1 bond for the faithful performance of the work within the territory of the United States in such manner as shall be re- | quired by the Secretary.

MRS. BERGMAN DEAD.
An Esteemed Montgomery Woman
 Passes Away.

Mrs. Cornelia Friedman, the wife of MT Isadore Friedman, died at the family resi- dence on South McDQnough Street yester- day morning at 10:3O o'clock, after an illness of some months. Though the condition of Mrs. Friedman had been dan gerous for the past few days. her death was unexpected to her friends.
 Mrs. Friedman was we'll known in Montgomery. and her friends here will be deeply grieved to learn of her death. Mrs. Friedman was Miss Cornelia Oppenhei- mer of Tuskegee. She leaves her hus- band and four children.
 Mrs. Friedman will be buried this after noon at o'clock from the residence, 6Zs South McDonough Street. Rabbi Marks of Atlanta, Ga, in the absence of Rabbi Messing, was telegraphed for, and will conduct the funeral services. Rabbi Messing was notified by telegraph of the death of Mrs. Friedman.

Assuring him, however, that the bars would keep the mosquitoes out. they man. aged to pacify him. De Soto was leading his expedition to | the Mississippi. Say, boys" he exclaimed. isn't the scenery simply magnificent"
 Yes" they chorused, but where are the signs telling you what kind of medl- cine to take?"
 Perceiving that the crowning glory of l the panorama was missing. he fel. into | gloomy silence. Newton was explaining to his friends the law of gravtation.
 Il know it." he exclaimed, because l saw the apple drop!' Are you sure" they inquired derisively, that you didn't see the apple jack?"
 fingered by their sarcasm. he proceeded | to take a fall out of them. George III was worrying about the ap- pie and the dumpling.

 Deiberation upon this new problem, however, made matters worse and the poor monarch went insane.

In fact. the boy next door was so much bigger that he seemed to have the best of it invariably So 1t wasn't an unusual thing when one of the brothers came into the house with a badly bruised eye. Moreover he was crying when his aunt stopped him in the hall.

 You may disturb your new brother said his aunt soothingly.
 He dried his eyes in a minute.
 Have I got a new brother?" he asked His aunt nodded.
 "One beside Jim?"
 She nodded again.
 Bully" he exclaimed.
 You're glad of it?" she asked.
 You bet!' he fairly shouted. If Jin and me and the new one can't lick tha Teller, we'd better move"

GLENWOOD IN DANGER.
OF LOSING HATCHERY
Other Cities Are Willing to Donate
Suitable Sites.

Because of the high valuation placed
upon sites suitable for the new fish
hatchery other cities of the state have
been encouraged to enter into compe-
tition, and the state game and fish
commission has received two encour-
aging offers.
On behalf of Detroit Col. William
West, large property owner of that
place, has offered to give to the state
all the land that could possibly be
needed for a hatchery with streams
of water and springs. South Haven,
through Mr.. Bennett, station agent at
that point for the 500 road, has also
offered the state what is said to be
very desirable site, but does not offer
to donate the land.
By the terms of the OfSthun law
under which the appropriation for the
second hatchery was made, the COM
mission is unable to locate the hatch
cry any place but at GlenWood and
therefore may not take advantage of
these offers at this time. 1t is dis
cretionary with the commission wheth-
.er the hatchery shall be built or when
it shall be built, and the members
plainly intimate that unless the prices
of the property offered at Glenwood
are reduced materially, there will be
no hatchery built at that place, and
the next Legislature will be asked to
amend the law SO as to permit the To-
cation of the second hatchery at some
other tOWn-Which will offer greater
inducements.

KANSAS GOVERNOR NO
LONGER A BACHELOR
Marries Mrs. Weede and Contradicts
Familiar Newspaper Story.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 9.-WilIis
j. Bailey, governor of Kansas. and
Mrs. Ida B. Weede were married in the
First Congregational church in this
city at o'clock this evening. Rev. T
F. Fif1eld performed the Ceremony,
only few guests were present They
included e. n. Bailey brother of the
governor, and his wife; Mr.. and Mrs.
Z. +. Catferty, the latter the governors
only sister, and John Albert, of Sc
neca, Kan, father of the bride Mr..
and Mrs. Bailey left for Topeka.
An interesting incident of Gov.
Ba1ley's recent campaign was a story
that he had promised to marry if
elected governor. After his election he
was the recipient of letters from wom-
en- in all parts of the country offer
ing themselves in marriage. Gov.
Bailey said today:
Long before the, election Mrs.
Weede and were engaged to be mar
RED. never made promise with any
one that l would take a wife if / We're
elected governor of Kansas. That was
story started by some of my Kan
sas friends. They meant it in a good
natured way, but really had the joke
on them"
Mrs. Weede's maiden name was Ida
Albert. Her first husband was a real
estate man who died five years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weede lived formerly
at Yuma, Col, and Fairbury, Neb. Mrs.
Weede met Gov. Bailey at Baileyville,
Kan, where she went to live after
her husbands death. She has two
children.

MUSIC COURSE SUITS
THE GRADE TEACHERS
1t Is Probable No Great Change VIII Be
Made for Next Year.

Supt. Smith, of the city schools, and
Miss Elsie Shave, supervisor of music,
held the last of their conferences with
grade teachers as to the musical course
yesterday afternoon. On this occasion
the subject was considered in its applica-
ton to the first and second grades, and
there We're about twenty five teachers in
attendance.
These teachers, who have to deal with
the beginning Of the musical instruction
in the schools, were found to be even less
disposed than those of the higher grades
to criticise or suggest modification or
abridgment of the present system. After
the conference of yesterday Supt. Smith
said to T h e G o b e:
I'VE have now heard from the teach
ers of all the grades, and l am very glad
that we have held these meetings, for
know that 1 have learned great deal
from them and 1 am sure that they have
brought about much better understand
ing of the subject of music among the
teachers. The teachers of the lower
grades appear to believe that the present
system is all that it should be, and that
