ACCEPTANCE BY
GOVERNOR SMITH
The Founders Great And Noble Purpose
Fully And Highly Appreciated.

In formally accepting the Institute.
Governor John Walter Smith said =
in rrslul~v to the very Kind invitation
extended 10 III" rs the representative of
the pcop!" of Maryland. for whose a'I-
vauta@" and benefit this institution was
more particularly intended. have come
here to-day to show my appreciation Of
the courtesy received. and. ON behalf of
the State of Maryland, to acknowledge"
TIA" great ana noble purpose conceived
10y the great founder of this Institute
No memorial more appropriate in its
grandeur and more worthy the hrncvol-
cnt instincts of the man than this great
educational institution could be erected
10 the memory of the late Mr.. Tome.
No secondary school in this country
WAS ever based upon IL foundation so
generous or ever Sprang nj once into such
vigorous existence, nor is any likely to
accomplish such magnificent results
This institution is not founded, nor is it
conducted, subject to qualifications for
admission based upon narrow or de-
nominational distinctions such AS would
cloud the brightness of its prospects and
diminish its influence and reputation and
henevolence of its founder
| feel. therefore, that Mr.. Tome as Il
patron of successful education deserves
to have his name placed beside the
names of those pioneers in the inaugural
ton of the educational impetus of this
country, who are now long since dead eX-
cept that the effect of their work con-
tinues and lives in the memory of Il
grateful people, WithcrspoOn, Harvard
and jefferson. And among later bene-
factors of the race he will be remembered
with Leland Stanford and our own Johns
Hopkins. The institutions founded by
Johns Hopkins and Jacob Tome stand
out in bold relief as the foremost, each
in its class, of the institutions of our
State. rs they are indeed in the country.
Each offers Il scheme of education which
in its separate sphere is useful and COM
plctc and nowhere conflict but the one
supplements the other and together they
form an harmonious combination of ad-
vantagcS for secondary. collegiate and
post graduate work which no state can
surpasS
1t would be with feelings of deep
pleasure and qualification that we people
of Maryland should consider this result.
which is Il greater source of pride be-
cause ii is due to the muniiicence of two
of our citizens. Right here. so close that
we scarcely realize the fact. we have the
university which is known wherever peo-
pie have immerged from intellectual
darkness and which attracts scholars
from all the world.

An Appreciation Of The Religious Feature
Of The Institute. The Music.

Right Rev. Leighton Coleman. IL. D.,
Bishop of Delaware. conducted the rei-
gouS ceremonies, which were deeply inn
prcsSive. The music was of high order.
Bishop Coleman made brief address
at the close of the religious ceremony.
In the beginning of his remarks he re-
ferred to the necessary relation of rcli-
gion to education. saving that the cducn-
ton of man was really beyond man, and
could proceed alone from God. Continu-
ing. he said
There is. indeed every reason why such
should be universal

The little club room of he kegOayah k0Zga was taxed to its utmost capacity to seat the many friends who came to enjoy the open meeting. Thi, organ iZatiOn has never been ambitious to swell it's membership, but welcomes those who come in the spirit of it's motto, "helpfulness.
 The program was short, consisting of medley from Emerson, by Mrs. Rust gard. Mrs. Johnson read the Message to Garcia" and Mrs. Wilkinson gave a paper on the "Madonnas.' Miss Sulli- van read "The Purpose of the Woman's Club,' from "Club Life.' A quartet under the direction of Mrs. Brown sang Annie Laurie" and as an encore Tenn yson's Sweet and Low." Mrs. Archer as hostess for the day served delicious refreshments. It is one of the boasts of the club that the members know no such word as "fail." Mrs. Bnns gave an original toast to Kegoayah Kozga, which was well worth having.

 A STRANGE STORY That Comes From the Outside Regarding Claim Jumping
 in This Section.
A STRANGE STORY

The following remarkable story as to ''organized claim-jumping' in this sec tion of Alaska appeared last winter in the Seattle Times, and is republished for what it is worth
 "There is an eastern corporation with agents in Nome and the adjacent dis tricts for no other purpose than to jump mining claims" is the meat of start ling story which has come down from the Boring sea metropolis. These agents, it is claimed, are paid their wages and expenses to involve proper ties in litigation in the chance of secur- ing consideration to settle out of court, the consideration to revert to the funds of the company, and out of which the expenses of operation are to be paid. The opportunities for a paying proposition can easily be figured out.
 A number of returning miners ad- vance the story as bona tide fact.
 It is known that claim jumping has not been so prevalent since the early days as it was last fall. Men who have

Great Travelling By Mail
 Carrier GriffiS.

R. II. Griiis, the intrepid mail car rier for Calkins & Co, the Nome-U na- laklik mail contractors. closed the winter schedule with record break ing trip. Mr. Gritfis left Nome last Sunday morning at o'clock. Reaching Isaac $ point. the end of his route, he again started for Nome at one o'clock p. ". Wednesday. He reached Nome at l2:4O Friday morning. his actual travelling time being ,6 hours. The trails were bad and at Chink he was compelled 10 stop four hoars while he made mukluks for his dogs feet. and during the entire trip he never slept.
 Chas. Ross, of Calkins & Co.,, had ar. ranged with Mir. Boyd to meet MT. Griffis at Hastings with horse team, but the road was too soft to permit it. At F o'clock Gritfis' voice could be heard away down the trail urging his dogs. Mir. Ross had made few bets , that the mail would reach Nome no, later than l2 o'clock midnight. but he lost by 40 minutes. The round trip is 32O miles and Mr. Gritfis' record is cer tainly remarkable one. He brough, | in 43O pounds of mail.

 From New Strike.

Circle City, Feb. 12.-The latest re- port from the diggings was brought in tonight. On No. , Gold Stream rich pay has been located. I saw and talk ed with the man who brought the re- port and every one who is acquainted with the man swears by him.
 Dan Mccarthy is the owner of No. s Gold Stream.
 One redeeming feature is that every man who comes from the diggings re- ports everything looking fine.
 Provisions are not to be had at Fair sAks or Belts and Hendricks. Every thing has been bought by the miners who are working there. Something like 600 men are now in the diggngs.
 Everything has been staked by pow CT of attorney, which is quite draw back to the country.
 Horse feed is not to be had either here or in the Panama. Candles, cigars, whisky, picks and handles, 1O-penny nails, { and inch rope. small wool socks, ond horse feed are articles that cannot be purchased in Circle City.
 All the diggines here have been abandoned and the miners have stam. peded to the Tanans.

plodd Il along trying to get something out of the country, have had their claims disputed by men who have just arrived, and this fact lends color to the belief that an organized company is promoting claim jumping as regular business.
 The gains of such a company come in the settlements which miners will iu many cases make rather than go to the cost Of litiga,i ion. Scores of people would rather pay few hundred dollars .p avert an intentional wrong than 70 go into court and at the expense of lost time and possibly an unlimited amount of money prove that a conspiracy ex- isted. For the season at Nome is so short that the loss of months, or even weeks, means a grievous setback to operating claims for that year. At the time court is in session the miners are the busiest
 William II. Black, a mining man, who has been in the Council City dis trict, near Nome, since 1899, believe, that there is good deal of fOundal ion for the above story. He says the Nome courts will apparently have all they can do in adjudicating claim jumper tangles.
 "Last fall there was more claim jump ing than there has been since the dis trict first opened" said Mr. Black The belief is general that this con- dition is brought about by an Eastern company which is making business of sending agents to Nome to jump claims It is apparent where the profits of the business would come from.
 This condition is particularly true in the district where mining is to be done in the future by slucing. l know of at least fifty cases, and there are many more Most of the jumping was done last fall, in some cases after the owners had left for the outside. and others as they were about to leave and could not remain. have the satiSfact- ion of knowing that two of my claims are jumped, and of course there will be a contest. Many of the men who have wthstOOd the hard-hip- of the country will now have to spend what little they have made in protecting themselves from the sharpers.

X k0UGAR R Q K
A Promising Section,
 But Has Drawbacks.

"The KOugarok promises to become good gold producer,' said w. F. Hissner, the other day. Mr. Hissner and C. B. Mcdonnell had just returned from a visit to that section. "The up- per kou@arok river prospects well, v Mr. Hissner said. Il was told by a number of miners whom l met that their operations last year were fairly satisfactory. yet do not think that a great deal of gold will be taken out there this year. In order to make the kougarok a large producer means of cheap transport lation for supplies must be had. It costs too much to lay down supplies on the various creeks. The fuel question is also a serious one.
 "There is not nearly as much snow in the kOugarOk as there is in the Nome district, and therefore there are more favorable indications of an early spring.'
