has its legitimate place as a convenience,
comfort and public necessity.
The free lunch counter the minister
commends as highly practical and bene-
VIOLENT institution. The passage of an or
dinance prohibiting free lunches moved
Rev. Morrill, to the following remarks:
Il have studied the saloon problem and
| am not advocating drinking or lunching
in saloons, but in this practical world we
must reckon with evils as we find them and
not indulge in wholesale denuncation of a
really great American institution"
The minister says there is large human

The unfortunate who has only or 10
cents gets drink and food in a saloon
for his mite. lie says many poor people
would 80 without food if it was not for the
saloon free lunch.
Then, too, Morrill, says, the free lunch
is often an antidote for drink. He says
many a saloon patron would get drunk if
the free lunch was not handy for him to
fortify his stomach with. He asserts that
saloonkeepers do not incite men to crime
by filling their stomachs with warm,
healthful food.
He says he regards free lunch as an

CHEAPER RATES
TO GOLD FIELDS

VANCOUVER, B. c., April l2-The
new joint freight tariff of the steamship
lines and the White Pass & Yukon rail
way on shipments from Puget Sound and
British Columbia ports to Dawson via
Skagway was announced yesterday. There
are material reductions as compared with
the rates prevailing last season. The new
rates will be effective on April Is.
The reduction was due to a desire to in
duce shippers to get their goods into Daw-
son during the season of high water on
the Yukon, when navigation is compare
lively easy. From statistics concerning
the opening of navigation on the upper
Yukon it may be judged that steamers
will be running from White Horse to
Dawson any time between May 25 and
June TO- Last year the first vessel to
make the through trip was the White
Horse, which sailed from White Horse on
June II and reached Dawson two days
later

ZANcEoNEIL

SAN FRANCISCO, April lI.-Nance
ONeil, the California actress, has once
more come into possession Of her $75 ,OOO
diamonds, and this is no press agent $
story.
The diamonds have crossed the continent
twice during the last two years and never
once in that time has Nance ONeil been
allowed to touch them. This privilege was
denied her until day or two ago.
In 1902 when Miss O'Neil made such a
disastrous failure in London, she was
obliged to leave her jewels with London

carry herself and company back to Ameri-

which she had left in London.
Mr.. Rauer sent messenger to London
to inspect the jewels, and being satisfied
with the report he paid the claim of the
bank and took possession of the gems, ad
vancing the actress $4,000 on them.
With this money Miss O'Neil paid her
debts here and took her company east
where further troubles awaited her. She
was refused engagements unless she would
consent to play without Mckee Rankin
the manager who discovered" her. She
declined to desert Rankin and matters
dragged along until quite recently.
j. g. Schater, wealthy Bostonian, a
short time ago became interested in the
plight of the young actress and he has
placed Miss O'Neil and company on good
financial footing. He released Miss O'NeiHs
diamonds, and now she is happy with her
$75, 900 diamonds scintilating once again be
fore the footlights. She has secured -four
months engagement to play at st. Louis
during the fair.
Rankin will not continue to act as her
business manager, but will still play with
her company.

afloat at sIl-key our nerves up so that we
can hardly calm down enough to sleep.
The matter OF food on our little craft
is serious one, too. We have scarcely
any room for supplies after we have stored
our fuel and ammunition, and only the

long enough to get those fellows face to

have been doing"
The torpedo boat commander makes out
quite good case for his men and himself,
but a poor stoker, named Kenzaburo. on
the Asama, has won distinction by losing
his life in a nervy way. The fleet was off
Vladivostok on March 5, when an escape
pipe on the Asama became clogged with
ice. For moment nobody knew what to
do. The seas breaking constantly over the
deck, froze as they fell, and the ship was
like floating iceberg. The stoker seized
a bit of rope, made it fast and swung him
self over the side, crying out as he did
so, Il can't shoot torpedoes for the en-
peror, but I'm not afraid to give my life
for him"
He clambered down and broke the ice
from the mouth of the pipe. Scarcely had
he finished his task and Just as his com
rades We're about to haul him aboard a
great wave swept over the ship and the
poor fellow was never seen again.
There has been a whole lot written about
the glory that Japan's navy is winning, but
if ever glory was won in the face of hard
ship and constant suffering, this is it. Still
the officers and men seem to be infatuated
with the perilous game they are playing,
and when one of the ships is in port the
crew is almost wild with fear that there
will be battle in their absence.
Commander Hirose, of one of the Jap
anese fleet, telegraphed his wife the fol

Port Arthur: Fought, won healthy. .

COLD HUNTERS

A tent town has sprung up at Yakataga,
Alaska, during the past 80 days. 1t has a

ure, March p, no mining had been done,
because of the quantity of glacial ice on
the beach. Until the tides and wind carry
this ice out to sea it will be impossible to

Captain Schage reports that the fortune
hunters were in nowise discouraged. despite
the unexpected delay. The camp was or

The ice, with which the beach is strewn
for miles on either side of Yakataga, was
soughed off from the Malispina glacier,
whose contribution this spring appears to
have been larger than usual.

THE ORIGIN OF THE
PREPAID POSTAGE

The idea of a prepaid envelope origin
ated in France, early in the reign of Louis
XIV, with M. de Valfyer, who, in 1868,
established, under royal consent, a private
penny post, placing boxes at the corners OF
the streets for the reception of letters
wrapped in envelopes bought at offices es.
tablished for that purpose.
NJ. de Valfyer also had printed certain
forms of "billets" or notes, applicable TO
the ordinary business among habitants OF
great towns, with blanks which were to
be filled out with such special matter as
might be desired.

TWO GREEK MONKS
FIGHT A DUEL

ATHENS, April 12.--An extraordinary
duel between two Greek monks in one of
the monasteries at Aegna has come to
light.
The fight, which arose out of bitter,
long-standing quarrel, took place under
dueling rules of a very severe character.
Three shots were to be fired by each OF
the combatants at % feet distance At
the first shot, however, one of the monks
fell dangerously wounded, and his life is
now despaired of.
The holy synod is investigating the case,
and, it is expected will take severe meas
ures with all concerned.
