Esuuimaux Dying Off.

Steamboat Inspector Phillips, who
lust returned from an official trip to
all points on the Mackenzie River and
tributaries, where steamboats, are in
commission, going as far north as the
Peel River, 300 miles within the Arc
tic Circle, states that during the past
two years the Esquimaux tribes OF the
Mackenzie Bay region have suffered
from an epidemic Of measles, the
deaths from the disease having deci-
mated some bands to such an extent
that there are very few left. At Fort
Resolution on the Peel River, wnere
usually large number of EsQuimaux
meet the Hudson Bay boats, there was
not one this year. The disease was
contracted by these people through
a visit to Dawson City, and as they
had absolutely no care the disease
spread and they left the dead all along
the trail on the way home. Among
one tribe at the north end of Great
Slave Lake about eighty of these poor
PEOPLE died from this disease.-Winnl'

Apart from the delicate state OF the
negotiations between the two nations,

a more gloomy than it hitherto has

the resources of diplomacy have been

Mechanical "Printer's DEVILS"

A printers devil" is to the lay mind
the errand boy who comes for copy and
brings proof. In reality he is nothing
of the kind; a printers devil'' is a
roller cleaner, and at the end Of the
run or day he washes the ink from
the composition rollers and puts them
in boxes. Heretofore hand work has
been used, probably because no salts
factory machine for doing the work
had been invented. Now, however, a
mechanical washer has been devised
which will clean the rollers of eight

wife was killed first, while sleeping at
her husbands side in bed; two OF the
children were killed as they ran
through the house in the darkness ss
early morning, endeavoring to escape
their merciless parent. The third child
was killed in it's bed, after it's elder
brother and sister had been killed.
The dead: Roscoe w. Derby, his
wife, Della; Harold. aged 8; Alec,
aged 7; Thomas, aged 5.
The first knowledge OF the crime
was communicated in letter Writtsn
by Derby to friend, who lived not far
away, and which was sent by spec;ai
delivery. The letter is to the eject
that when it had been received tle
Derby family would be dead. When
the friend hurried to the house Sunday
