one member who spoke of me describ-
ed me us that thing called minister
Well. 10 be sure" continued Lord
North. here patting his ample sides, Il
am an unwieldy thing. The honorable
member therefore when he called me
"a thing said what was true, and
could not be angry with him. But
when he added that thing called n
minister he called me that thing which
OF all things he himself wished most TO
be- and therefore | took 1t as a compli-
ment"

Druid Money.

Druid money Expresses one of the
many plausible way, of refusing TO
pay at all. 50 common % all peoples.
1t is the eNact equivalent OF the Ro-
man phrase 10 pay on the Greek cal
ends which meant never. aS the Greeks
had mo- calcnds. pauicius says of the

money which they promised TO return
in another life Butler i'm "Hudibras"

Alaska.
A railroad project of oven greater
Importance to Alaska than the Council
City & Solomon is the Alaska Central
railroad, work on which was begun
late last summer, but which will not
be completed for another year or more.
Trains, however, will be running reg
ularly over the southern section late
this m
The Alaska Central is built from
Resurrection bay north and west to
Cook inlet and thence i'll almost a
straight limo to Rampant, ON the Yukon
river, a total distance of about 600
miles. About 100 miles Of the road are
already practically completed.
The most ambitious OF all Alaskan
railway projects is that OF the Trans
alaskan Railway company, which was
Incorporated at the department of the
secretary of state at Washington about
eight months ago. The Transalaskan
railway will run from a point on Ccols
inlet to Port Clarence, on Cape Prime,
of Wales, the point where Alaska nosI
nearly approaches to Siberia. Connec-
ton there will be made, according to
he plans Of the promoters, with a
northern branch to be built from the
Russian governments Trans-Siberian
lina.
An important link in the chain O.,
Alaskan railroads will be a line which
was built last summer from Dawson u,
Bonanza creek, and which is being ex
tended this summer to the Stewart riv.
er and thence to Eagle City. At the
latter point connection will be made
with the Alaska Central. On the south
connection is had from Dawson by riv.
er steamer with the White Pass G. Es-
koH route.

Recorder Pickersgill was then sworn
by the State to prove what statement
Matos made to him when the complaint
against him made by Detective Fsrgu-
son was read. Objection was made to
this answer being given till after tho wit
ness had been questioned as to what was
said to Matos before the question was
asked and what, If any, inducements
wore made.
Tho recorder said he had had several
conversations with him on the morning
OF tho stabbing and tho next two days
and that at that time, when the com
plant was read, Mates, who co lid talk
aud understand English, was told that
what be had said could and would be
used against him. The Court then do
cided to admit the question, but the de-
fense desired first to have Matos sworn
toltell his side Of what occurred there
when the complaint was made, and the
Court ruled this perfectly proper. Be
fore a final decision was therefore given
as to the admission of Matos' answer

RAILWAYS IN alaska
FOUR SYSTEMS NOW BUILDING
OR IN OPERATION.
Travel in the Great Northern Ter
ritory Now a Matter Of Ease
and Comfort More
Lines Proposed.

There is a vast. difference between
journeying in Alaska to-day and jour-
neying in Alaska a few years ago
When the first rush of the gold seekers
occurred there was no means OF COM
munciation between the Klondike AND
the outside world but the dog sledges
and the rivers. To get to the colo
fields men suffered untold hardships
and after they were there paid starva-
ton prices for food. When the Nome
fields were discovered men Travelled to
the peninsula In boats, but to get In
land meant many hours of hard walk
ing. In the interior of the great ter
ritory one was as completely shut on
from the world as thoughstrandedupon
Q desert island in the middle OF the
ocean. OF news there was none save
at long intervals when brought in by
newcomers, and it was weeks old be-
fore it reached the camps.
To-day the telegraph wire carries its
messages throughout all the gold
camps, and the result of the big bat
ties in the far east may be known at
Dawson almost as soon at ii is in Chi
cago. In modes of transportation the
6og sled has given place TO the railroad
train, and travel in the far north is
now a luxury instead of a hardship.
A glance at the map will give one an
idea of the railroads now in operation
under construction or proposed. So
great has been the recent development
of Alaska that there + now four dis
tinct railroad systems i'll full or par
tial operation in the territory, two 9TH
ers in a preliminary stage of construo-
ton and several projected. All OF the
principal centers of I~opLlction arc con-
nected with the outsiHe world by tele-
graph, and q military cable line, 1900
miles in length, will be completed this
summer between Seattle and Juneau,
giving an alternate route for CONNER
cial business.
The construction of the Council City
& Soloman River railroad, the first Of
standard gauge to be Put in operation
in Alaska, has demonstrated the pos
sibility of building in the far north a
roadbed practically as solid as that of
any Of the best equipped systems in the
United States. The tundra, OF Arctic
bog land, has been conquered by a sys-
tenn of thorough drainage.
The railroads now building and pro-
iscted in northwestern Alaska will
completely gridiron Nome peninsula.

Four Skyscrnpers-


Four S-ISyscrnpera-
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The Building
Trades alliance, made up of seventeen
unions, has declared a strike agains
the George A. Fuller Construction com
pany, and work has been tied up on the
Times building, Sturtcvant building
Trinity building, New York Hippo
drQme and the Taber building.
Philip Weinsheimer, president of the
Building Trades alliance, who dnr'r~ot
THE strike on the subway last vceh., !:
responsible for the strike. The TciScc
given for calling out the mel was
because of a claim that the Fuller com
pany had been using stone from non
union quarries and trimming yards.
The strike and the movement OF
the employers grew out of a series OF
disputes that promises. to involve the
employers and union men in the build
ing trades in another gigantic struggle.
The feeling is extremely bitter between
the two sides, and both have been pre-.
pairing for the fight that appears to
be beginning. The employers assert
that if they are driven to it they will
declare war to the finish on the unions
and employ n~onunion men under an
open shop understanding. In the sub
way the Brotherhood of Carpenters, the
Electrical Workers union, Operative
Plasterers' society, Plumbers and Gas
filters union and the Metal Lathers'
union are out OF sympathetic strike
to support the Amalgamated Painters
society in its demand for half the paint
ing.
