U. S. SENATOR WEEDS AT 80.
Reported Engagement Of Vice.Presi'
dent Nominee.


News comes from Shephardtown,
w. Va, that ex- Senator Henry G. Day.
is, the Democratic vice presidential
candidate, will in the fall marry Mrs.
Catherine Reynolds, widow Of DR.. John
Reynolds of Shephardtown. Mrs. Rey-
nolds is 10 years old, while Senator
Davis is so. There Is an interesting
story back of the approaching wedding.
Many years ago when Henry G.. Day.
is was a brakeman on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, he became a suitor
for the hand of Miss Catherine Cushwa,
whose family was one of the most pro-
minent in Washington county, Md.
Miss Cushwa was a pronounced
beauty, and was the acknowledged
belle in the section in which she lived
Her family being an aristocratic one
she became the leader in the exclusive
society set, and at all social gatherings
Miss Cushwa's society was sought after
by the young gallants of Maryland and
West Varginia.
She and young Davis met for the first
time at a dance at a country house,
and frequently thereafter ne became
her escort. The friendship thus begun
speedily ripened into love.
Davis proposed and the young woman
was willing but her parents could not
reconcile themselves to the idea of
their beautiful and accomplished
daughter marrying a poor railroad
brakeman, and the young man was sent
on his way with broken heart.
Young Davis disappeared to rise rap
idly in the railroad service until he be-
came the richest and most powerful

Former Commander Of Rifle
Corp. Shows Passengers How
to Fight hold.up Men.
TURNED PULLMAN INTO FORT
With Single Revolver the Plucky
Irish Judge Prepared to
Deal Out Sure Death
to Robbers.

Victoria, r, c., Sept. i4.-When Con-
ductor Ward of the Canadian Pacific
railway train held up near Mission city
Saturday night. entered the Pullman
and told the passengers the news. Judge
w. Norman Bole of the British Column
bia courts. asked If any other man in
the car besides himself was armed.
Everybody replied In the negative. The
Judge then produced his revolver and
asked all who were willing to help him
defend the car again the attack of the
bandits to say so. Every man present
expressed willingness to assist. The
Judge then sent the porter back up the
line with torpedo signals to lay on the
rails to warn the freight train that
the express train had passed west Of
Mission City, and which was about due,
so as to avert disastrous rear-end
collision. When the porter returned
Bole ordered all the furniture and
loose fittings in the car piled against
the doors at each end so as TO pre-
vent them being opened from the cor
ridors. The passengers then distrib-
uted themselves In hiding along the
sides and at the ends of the car to es-
cape flying bullets If a fight should
take place and Bole took his place be-
tween two big chairs in the middle of
the car, revolver in hand, The porter
then put out all the lights In the center
of the car leaving only those in the
corridors burning. The center of the
car was thus in darkness while the cor
ridors by which the robbers must APP
proach to the attack were a blaze of
lights. The Slated blinds at the win
dows were pulled down and fastened
securely. Thus prepared, all In the
car awaited the coming of the rob-
bers. The judge kept keen watch on
the corridors, ready to kill the first
man with a mask on his face that
showed himself in the brilliantly light
ed passages. Only when the locomo-
tive returned from Wharnock Creek |
and coupled up did the people In the
Pullman feel that the strain was over.
All the passengers highly praise Judge
Bole's sensible action and his cour-
lgeous determination to defend the car
against assault. They say no military
nan could have arranged the work OF
defense better than the judge. The
also declare that had any
1f the robbers shown themselves in
he corridors they would have been
silled to a certainty, and without any
,hance of returning the fire. The judge
was once commodore of a British Co
umbia rifle corps and Is an Irisnman
noted for his determination of char
lcter. He was the only man in the
whole train who seriously proposed to
light the gang.

A reward offered

Unalaklik, Feb. 4.-One hundred
dollars reward for the arrest and con-
vlction of any person or persons enter
ing and robbing any of the mail cabins
or the portage or Yukon river is
offered by G. Il. Corbusier the mail
superintendent, with whom patience
has ceased to be virtue, because of
the ongcontinued robberies of the
mail cabins. Mr.. Corbusier, in an in
terview with the writer, was justly in
dignant with the way these cabins
have been robbed. He claims that

instances the cabin partly filled with
snow. This seems to be a condition of
things that the public ought, as far as
they can, take hand in rectifyng, as
the prompt delivery of mail is neces-
sarily dependent upon good accommO-
dations for men and dogs. This has
been attended to by the mail contract
ors in erecting mail stations along the
route, trusting that people would re-
spect the mail cabins: but it seems
that the travelling parasite respects
nothing, and, not content with quilting
residents along the line, must also be
thief and worse. 1t is not alone the
loss of the provisions that is to be de-
plored. The mail has to be in on time,
and often mail carrier has to do two
days travel in one. and must use up
every ounce of strength he and his
dogs have to arrive at the several

fuel gone and provisions gone. The
tired mail carrier must then. after q
hard days travel, if he would preserve
his life, cut wood and maybe have to
60 a half mile or more through deep
snow to get dry wood, and in many in
stances go to sleep hungry or depend
upon the dog salmon he may have in
his sledge. The above are some of the
conditions under which the mail is car
ried today in Alaska, and think that
when the matter is presented to the
public they will do what they can to
make the conditions under which the
mail carriers travel easier. knowing
that they are the only connection be-
tween many people and the loved ones
on the outside during the long winter
months. 7. A. p,

INTEREST

Under date Of Nov. 30, J. S. Wheeler

follows:
"The people of this city seem to
manifest different feeling to that Of
one year ago. Business people gen.
orally have q confidence that was up to
the present lacking. That apathetic
feeling seems to have given way to one
Of decided interest. This is well shown
in the membership Of the Alaska Club,
recently organized. Altogether, Alaska
as a whole is attracting attention. Peo-
pie begin to realize that the mining in
dustry OF Alaska is not only for the
present, but for generations to come.
Il have spoken to several insurance
companies, and l think I have i'm

seems to think he will represent his

be erected if insurance can be OF

partment service and the care gen.
orally exercised, and also drew atten-
ton to the splendid record of the ire
department in preventing serious con-
fagrations.
