The Band Boys.

The concert and dance on Christmas night, given by the Douglas Harmony Band, may be said to have been suc- cess, both socially and financially. So- cially because severybody had good time and enjoyed the music, and finan- cially because the boys are Sl2500 to the good.
 The concert was peculiar, in sense, in the variety of features presented.
 When the curtain came up for the opening number it disclosed the band in full uniform, seated ip semi-circle with the drums at the center of the stage. Now, any old tune may be good enough for street parade, but when you put band on a stage, in hall before critical audience, a false note is plainly heard. So the boys were on their mettle and played carefully, and they played we'll. too. At the conclu- sion of the first number they were en- cored vigorously, both because of the merit of the production and as an ex- pression of goodwill and esteem.
 There were other meritorious fea- lures in the entertainment, among which were the mandolin duet by the Campbell Brothers, the violin solo by Prof Carl H. Strom, recitation by Miss Annie Mccormick, the vocal duet by Miss Mildred Powell and Mrs. Rich ards, and the trombone solo by Carl Erickson.
 The dance was one of the most pleas ant of the season. The music was good, the floor we'll waxed, the ladies beauti- ful, and the gentlemen attentive, and everyone enjoyed the improved condi- tion of the hall.
 The members of the Douglas Harmo- nv Band have asked the News to eX- press their appreciation of the kind nesses extended to them by their many friends, and especially the ladies.

A Mysterious Death.

Last Saturday morning when day light came creeping up the channel, it disclosed the body of man lying on the beach near the Mexican boarding house. When picked up gash was found in the back of the head near the base of tbe brain. It was found to be one Jovan Bachevich, a native of Ban jane, Montenegro, aged 19 years. He passed the night at the Mexican board ing house and was awakened at o'clock in themorning by the ringing of the bell. He arose and went out on the track, and, it is supposed that in the darkness he stumbled and fell down on the rocks with the result as stated above. The deceased was member of the Servian United Society, "Lovchen," and the funeral was held yesterday, under the auspices of that society, from the Servian Orthodox church in this city, Rev. Father Yaroshevich of ficiating. The burial was at the Douglas Cemetery.

FACTS ABOUT FATAL ACCIDENTS

The old law Of compensation as in
terpreted by Carlyle, Emerson and
other philosophers of both
ancient and modern times seems to
find it's verifcation in recent reports
of the Census Bureau showing that
the proportion of deaths from acct
dents in the United States is increas-
ing. According to this census report,
the proportion Of deaths from acct
dental causes in 1900 was SIG in a
total Of 1000 deaths from all causes.
In 1890 the proportion was only 53.7.
Some curious facts brought out by this
same report are that the death-rate
due to accidents and injuries is high
est among persons forty-fve years of
age and over; that the average age
of death from accidents is about thirty
three and half years, and that the
warmer months show a larger proper
ton Of fatal accidents than the cooler
ones. In March the country is a more
dangerous place to live in than the
city, and in May and June the reverse
is true. It also appears that a per-
son is twice as likely to die from &C
cident as from old age, and that &C
cidents happen more frequently and
kill more persons in the Rocky Noun
tain regions and on the Pacific coast
than in the Atlantic states. On the
whole it appears that nearly 6 per
cent. of all deaths in the United States
are due to accidental injuries. One
obvious moral to be drawn from all
this would seem to be the increasing
need of exercising caution among the
complexities of modern life.-Leslie's
Weekly.

SOME ODD SLEEPING PLACES.
Miss Jessie Ackermann Has Occupied
2,70o Beds During Her Travels.

: Few women have met with so
many extraordinary adventures in all
parts of the world as Miss Jessie
Ackermann, the famous temperance
worker, who has circled the globe a
dozen times. In the course of her
travels Miss Ackermann has slept in
200 different beds and among her
resting places have been the tomb OF
an Indian king, a Siberian convicts'
camp, an Alaskan fsherman's hu,
and a stable in Iceland. Writing of
these strange dormitories in the
Housekeeper, Miss Ackermann SAYS:
The most refreshing rest of nv
life was obtained III a hammock
swung high in the trees, Leyoni the
reach of beast or serpent, in a Jungle
OF Java. In my opinion. the bed it
self plays but small part in the
Wooing of tired natures sweet re-
storer. However, there was one
night when thought I never would
go asleep. 1t was up in Alaska. A
young chief who had just succeeded
MS father was to be formally in
stalled with a dance by his subjects
and he invited me to be present.
The scene Of the ceremony was
several miles from the village where
l was stopping. During the dance a
terrific storm arose rendering it i'm
possible for me to return to the vii
lage and kind native invited me to
his hut for the night The family of
eleven slept on a raised platform ex.
tending around three sides of the
room. Here l was invited to share
the common bed, but declined with
thanks, and indicated that | would
climb up VITO the rafters, where fish
and skins, were drying. although had
not the slightest idea how l woull
ever accomplish the feat. unless
could walk up the sides of the house.
One of the juvenile members Of the
family speedily climbed to the lofty
rafters, and having fashioned the
skins into the form of 4 bed descend
ed to help solve the problem of my
ascent. Every available box. barrel
and chest was piled one upon ali
other, but even this makeshift of a
tower fell short of reaching the de
sired haven Of rest Finally mount
ing the pile and STOPPING over in the
attitude of one playing at leap-frog.

sprang into bed, high above the heads
OF the astOnished natives.
Well, | confess that I did not ego

my insecure perch upon the entire
family gathered around the dying
embers in the center of the floor,
where they were engaged in drinking
fish oil out of a whalebOne ladle
Their glistening white teeth formed
a striking contrast to their painted
faces as they talked and talked and

were talking about me. However,
sleep came at last, after the family
had retired TO their universal couch.

Demand for Women Stenographers

The Himalayas have several peaks

The Illinois rattlesnakes seems to be

exterminated the snakes to a large
extent.
The marine cable industry was con

DIE TO GET SEALSkINS.
Risk Death to Secure Furs to Deck
Women's Backs

Hunting the seal from the icy,
storm swept coast of Newfoundland
is not sport; it is toll, whereby in
part the Newfoundlander wins his
scanty measure of bread. The hunt
is a slaughter, dull and hfdeous-a
leap into the whining and scurrying
pack, and the swinging and thrust of
an iron shod gaff. merciless raining
OF blows, with a silent waste of ic
all splashed with red at the end of
There is no sport in this, nor is Their
any fear Of hurt, for the seal plead
and whines like a child, even while
the gaff is falling; but the chase is
beset with multitudinous and I'M
foreshadowed perils.
The wind gathers the ice into foes
and jams it against the coast, an i'm
measurable, Jagged expanse of it in
terspersed with plains; then the New
foundlander takes his gait and his
food and his goggles and sets out
from his little harbor, starting at
midnight that he may come up with
the pack at dawn. But the wind
sweeps the ice and inevitably sweeps
it out again without warning in an
hour, or a day, or a week; nor does
it pause to consider the situation of
the men who are twenty miles off
shore. 1t yeers and freshens ana
drives the whole mass, grinding and
heaving, far out TO sea, where it
disperses it into its separate frag-
ments.
The lives of the hunters depend
upon the watchfulness of the at
tenuated line of Iookoouts, from the
women on the headland to the first
sentinel within signaling distance.
