CASE OF COSTLY COURTESY.
One instance Recorded in London
Where 1t Did Not Pay to
Be Polite.

The following pathetic story was
told in London police court recently:
A man was sitting in comfortably
full car, when woman entered and
broke the laws by hanging in pathetic
desperation to the erd of a strap. Gal
lantry supervened, the man rose from
his seat and nelieved the woma from
the necessity of breaking the law. but
by doing so he broke it himself. Then,
says Washington Times, the police
man entered and all persons standing
were elected, and the man was forced
to walk home.
On the way any number of crowded
cars passed him, which refused to take
on any more persons. and he went on
cursing the position that medieval
chivalry gave women. But his in
juries were not over yet. He received
a summons and was hauled before
magistrate in police court, together
with other offenders who had stood in
cars. The conductor explained the
situation and told how it was only
politeness that made the prisoner
break the law. but it was all of no avail
to him. The magistrate sentenced him
to pay fine of three shillings and two
shillings for costs.

shells parted company, and the

daintily reposed was mixed with then

shame or fear? No. That is not the

And now the steamers are bearing
away hundreds of Americans to the
"get-healthy-quick" concerns of Eu-
rope, says Golfers Weekly. Some will
go on starving diets, others on stuffinR
diets; some will drink vast quantities
OF water, others vast quantities Of
milk; some will take the e'perftct-rest"

cures. And all will be vastly improved
in appearance and will leave their re-

without grudging thought about the
money they have been relieved of by
the hordes of bandits that run '.cures.n
The time is not yet, but neither is il

They rest rock-founded upon the uni

study.

To the traveller on Puget sound there
is nothing that so holds the interest
on the days trip from Seattle to Vic
toria, on Vancouver island, as do the
seagulls. These birds distinctly are
the feature of the trip, greater in many
respects than Mount Rainier or Mount
Tacoma, as it is well known to the
first settlers, and which rises for
thousands of feet toward the south
east; greater than the Olympian noun
tain range on the land between the
sound and the Pacific, and which rises
cold and drear to no mean proportions,
The seagulls of Puget sound are an
institution, and as an institution are
protected by the government Of the
state of Washington and of British
Columbia. To kill seagull is a crime
and punishment is swift and sure to
anyone who is caught committing such
q deed.

Especial to Review.)


 Tombstone, Oct. 20.-The grim reap CT is making inroads on the old Sour Coughs" who went early into the froz- en North in search of the gold of the Klondike. The latest victim is John B. Anderson, of whose oeath the Re view is just advised Anderson was connected with the Crystal Palace liQ- uor company of that city, and had just returned a few weeks ago from Daw- son, whither he had gone to attend to some matters covering some rich claims the deceased held there, over on Sulphur Creek. It would appear that he contracted a severe cold some time ago, and upon his return to Tomb stone the case developed into one ot malignant typhoid pneumonia, which brought about his death. The re- mains were shipped to Tacoma. Wash ipgton. accompanied by his friend, J. B. Garland, who has applied for let ters of administration on his estate, and who was looking after the busi- ness of Anderson during his absence n Alaska.
 Anderson was one of the earliest pioneers in the Klondike district, the writer hereof meeting him daily from almost he time the first cabin was erected in Dawson. Big, rugged, good hearted Anderson was beloved by ev- eIyunC that ever met him.
 His brother, who was also with him ia Dawson, is there still, having re- turned to the frozen north early in the spring of the present year.

The action is brought for damages on the ground that the de who is a physician, in trying to repair a broken arm of the youth, failed to do his work as it should have been done, and the result is that the arm is useless and crooked, and wlii never be of use to him; for this the plaintiff asks for $10,000 damages, be sides $200 which she alleges to have spent in trying to have the injured member fixed by other doctors.
 The other case was that of Joseph Chisholm vs. M. J. Cunningham ct al, to quiet title to four mining claims in the Warren mining district. Neale er Sutter are the plaintiffs attorneys.
