FORT WAYNE, Ind, Aug. 31.-In spite
of the low temperature and the lowering
sky yesterday there was a large crowd pres
ent at Centiivre Park in this city, for the
first formal celebration of French day. This
county's first settlers were French-speaking
people, who reached its fertile lands via De-
tro.t. and there are several townships where
French is the household language. Citizens
of French extraction have, therefore, organ
lied for yearly festival in memory of La
Belle France. There were excursionsts
from Matthews accompanying the ''SOciete
Chorale'' and LA Lyre Franco-Belge."
There was also a trainload of French-de-
scent excursonists from Detroit. The pro-
gramme was chiefly musical, the first num-
Der being the "Marseillaise," M. Houssiere
being the DIRECTOR. The Packard City Band
played a programme of French compositions.
The day was a social success.

ished miners who started i'm July on a 500
mile trip through trackless wilderness from

provisions could be purchased at several
trading posts on route.
Three miners were rescued from starva-

In a small tent, exhausted, unable to move
and hardly able to speak. he found p. A.

William Kruhm, of Baltimore, and Harry
Behrens, who said he lived I'm New York
city. For three weeks these men had lived
on berries. but finally their strength gave
out and they had lain down to die. They
told Bratnober that the trail from Nazina
to Tanana was being traversed by 200 men
i'm the same situation as themselves.
