Alton B. Parker, chief justice Of the
New York Court of Appeals, the man
who will probably be the Democratic
nominee for President of the United
States, and in that event the next
President, was born a farmers son,
near Cortland, in Central New York,
May "A, 1852. He did not yearn to be
a farmer, but he learned a good deal
about what a farmer boy must do to
keep himself in good standing with
his own family.
AS early as he could do so he at
tended school at Cortland Academy
and later got out of the Cortland Nor
NAL School all the equipment for life
that it could give him. His parents
were not able to send him TO college
or even to take care of him while he
was trying TO find a footnold At 16
he became a country school teacher.
There is a tradition that at this i'm
mature age he was obliged IN order TO
maintain his prestige and place, to
thrash the school bully. He wandered
as far afoot from home as the village
of Rochester, in Ulster county, to find
a school in which he could earn SO
a day as a teacher.
Not College Man.
The dream of a college life faded
away. He was obliged to give up the
hope of a broad training for his pro-

office of a preceptor Having surren-
dered one cherished ambition, but not
his chosen profession, he was admit
ted to the office of a law firm in King
ston as a student. Working his way
he was at last enabled to enter the
Law School at Albany, gravitating be-
tween the office of his preceptors at
Kingston and the Law School. accord
ing to season and necessity. In 1872
he was graduated, and soon after the
sign of Parker & Kenyon was hung
out at Kingston.
A natural interest in politics led him
very early to participate in local eff
fort in that line. He speedily dem
onstrated a decided ability for political
management. From the start he was
a Democrat.
His First Public ONCE.
In 1877, when he was %, the Demo-
Gratis of Ulster county nominated him
for surrogate. He was elected for a
six-year term and in 1888 was re-
elected.
While he was thus winning his way
to place of honor and profit in his
own town he had attracted the atten-
ton of the state leaders. Samuel ].
Tllden had inspired him with ideas
about government and party policies.
His frequent visits to Albany and to
political gatherings had brought him
into association with Daniel Manning,
Edgar K. Apgar and other active men.
and his cleverness in leadership in his
county had given him a high reputa-
tion with competent judges of politi-
cal management. With Daniel S. La
mont-born a year earlier than Par
ker, in his own county of Cortland
he was especially well acquainted.
They were sympathetic. holding very
similar views as to political methods
and the enlistment of young men in
political campaigns. In 1884 he was a
delegate to the convention at Chicago
that nominated Grover Cleveland for
President, and he helped pull the can
didate through the holly contested
campaign of that year.
For Assistant Postmaster General.
Cleveland was elected. and in Janu-
airy he turned over to Lieut.. Gov. Hill
the uncompleted term of office he was
obliged to surrender in order to be-
come President. When Mr.. Cleveland
was filling up the offices in Washing
ton he offered the position of first as
sistant postmaster general to Judge
Parker, and the offer was declined.

sloping to the river, is a substantial
and commodious mansion, shaded by
generous porches and by fine old trees.
The frontage on the Hudson is liberal,
and the view commanded by the house
is extensive and charming. The prop
erty extends back half a mile, to the
edge of the Esopus village. Rosemount
Hail. as the house is called, is a state
ly mansion, built for comfort, rather
than for show, yet not with disregard
of appearances.
Judge Parker takes special pride in
his apple and peach orchards, and has
won wide reputation among the farm
err folk of the Hudson valley because
of his success with these two valuable
products Of the farm. His New Town
pippins are as renowned as are his
Red Polled cattle. No farmer of Ul-
ster county thinks of Judge Parker
as the severe magistrate when he is
at home. To his summer neighbors
he is only the man they have loved
as he rose from place to place with
added honor, without ceasing to be
the cordial and democratic friend. Such
is the man to whom indications point
as the next occupant of the White
House.

sire on his part to shelve a man Who
was rising into prominence that might
soon be an obstacle to Hills ambition.
Whatever may have been his Interior
motive, his immediate motive was
gratifying TO Parker. The career open
ed to him by the appointment was en-
tirely congenial. In 1t his mind warm
ed and broadened, and so fully did the
people of the state recognize and APP
preciats the fitness of the man for the
position to which he had been named
that when the election came on he en-
joyed the rare distinction and honor of
being the single candidate of the two
great parties, and was elected without

In June, 1889. was created the sec

superior fitness for just the difficult
position to be occupied. He sent TO
Kingston for Parker. At Albany they
discussed the proposition that Parker

fitness for the task, and told Gov. Hill
that he must decline it. Hill persist

Raided By Officers Early
 Sunday Morning
INMATES ARRESTED
Two Women and Three Men Found in the PIaCe.-The
 Women Bound Over.

Sunday morning last at about } o'clock, Deputy U. s. Marshal Al. Lowe, City Policemen J. H. Sunni vale and J. c. Sackett and Fire Patrol man J. H. Johnston made raid on a shack located in the rear of the Recep- tion saloon, and found therein eviden- ces of well defined opium joint. The house contained large bed, extending lengthwise from wall to wall and being about eight feet in width to accommO- date the customers, and complete "dope" outfit, opium, etc.
 The officers have for sometime past suspected this place of being an opium den and have been waiting favorable morning Deputy Marshal Lowe receiv- ed "tip" that the suspected joint had "full house, and in company with the other officers went to make an in- vestigatiOn.
 They found Vivian Carlyle and "Jimmie" Stanley of the Columbia, two well-known female characters of the town, and three fellows named R.. H. Smith, F. Williams, alias Higgins and H. Sullivan, a bartender in the Columbia. The three men were lying on the bed and near by was table upon which complete 'Outfit" was placed. All of the occupants were plac- ed under arrest and taken to the federal jail, but were soon released upon $25O cash bail in each case.

 The lnmachuk river, judging from present developments, is destined to surpass Ophir and other famous creeks Of Seward peninsula. On stretch of ten miles, beginning at point fifteen miles from salt water, there are twelve drawers in operation. Up to the pres ent date, owing to the bsence of fuel, work has not been prosecuted with any vigor, but coal from the Kugruk mines is now being delivered by Contractor Morris teams under the direction of Messrs. Ray, Joyce and Harry Wynn, and hereafter the hills will echo the whistle of the steam thawcr. The spring cleanup will open the eyes of the mining world.
 There is nothing on this stream to justify a stampede from outside dis tricts. The river was first staked three years ago, and all available ground is taken and in undisputed possession of present owners. Provisions are scarce ly sufficient to carry the present pOpu- lation through until the boats arrive next spring. Any further increase will certainly be productive of hunger and distress. There is no demand for labOrers. as mine owners are not pro- vided with suitable quarters and pro- visions beyond those which are neces- Sary for their present force.
 Christmas was very fittingly cele- brated in this little village on the shores of kOtzebue sound. A free din- ner was given by the proprietors of the three roadhouses, Messrs. Dearborn Raber and Curry. and the evening was spent in dancing and other enjoyable exercises.
 TLis is one of the largest mining dis tricts ill all Alaska. Candle City, where the recording office is at present located, is at the extreme eastern limit, and to reach it from Deering necessitates travelling forty miles along the coast, which at this season of the year is dangerous and expensive. When this matter is brought to the attention of the proper authorities they should not hesitate to give this portion of the district the convenienceS it deserves Too much cannot be done for the class of people who have braved the hard ships of this frozen North and who have developed property which will add millions to the countrv's wealth.

MINING PROSPECTS

Deering, Alaska, Jan. l3.A genu- inc hair seal on a pilgrimage overland from a point 15 miles from salt water is thing unknown to the history of seal dom. Such, however, is the fact demonstrated by the discovery made recently on Chicago creek, near the famous Kugruk coal mines.
 Chicago creek is small, narrow stream, full of rapids and abrupt falls. contains no more than one sluicehead of water in summer time, and empties into the Kugruk river B miles from Kotzebue sound. While hardy son of Scandia, Robert Sandquist was prospecting for the precious metal, d few miles above the coal mine, and en- unused by his finds so close to a field of boundless fuel (so precious in this bleak North), his attention was at tracted by well-beaten fox trail lead ing to frozen pool 300 feet away. Fastening thither, he found male seal, loo pounds in weight, slightly i'm bedded in the ice. where he evidently perished from exposure after the water had frozen. Around this pool are evi- dences of how this native of the briny deep tried to continue his cross-coun- try ''mush. MT. Sandquist hastened
