A Great Ocean Excursion.

Frank Horsely, A. B. Weed, Miles
Cannon and Mic Hartung are passengers
on the big steamship Roanoke, which
leaves Seattle today for a six thousand
mile cruise through Alaskan and Siberi-
an waters. This is pleasure excursion
gotten up by the steamship company,
and will carry several hundred excur-
sionists to the various point of interest
along the two coasts. The principal
towns. Nome for instance, will be stopped
at for several days, and the entire trip
will not be completed within mouths
time, even under the most favorable
weather. The members OF the Yakima
contingent claim to be good sailors, and if
they get through this big voyage with
out meeting any encouragement in the
shape of sea sickness they will surely
prove it. Their friends anticipate some
wonderfully interesting stories on their
return. with some souvenirs in the shape
of totem poles or few slivers from the
North Pole as mementoes of the jour-
ney.

FRUITvALE INvENTS NEW GAME
Said to Be Very Entertaining, but
No Patent Applied For.

They have a new game in FruitvaIe,
which is especially recommended for
hot weather. 1t requires no parapher =
MALTA other than screen door and two
kittens OF suitable age. The players are
divided into two parties; the ad herents
of one feline take their candidate out on
the porch, while those who pin their
faith to the other remain in the room.
Both animals are then placed on the
screen at the same distance from the
floor, and the one reaching the top first
wins the match. 1t is the nature of the
animals to scramble upwards, and soon
er or later one is bound to come to the
winning point. This diversion is said
to be especially suitable for those whose
sporting blood takes liesurely and con-
templative turn. 1t is also believed to be
good for the kittens, giving them valu-
able exercise and teaching them self-re-
lance in emergencies.

Delicate Sense of Touch.

John J. Slavan, who was known ia. miliarly the length of Lombard street as "Blind Jack" died the other day of pneumonia and ended a remarkable and adventurous life.,
 Slavan was born a slave in Ala bama. He escaped from slavery and made his way into Pennsylvania by way of Cumberland county's under ground railroad" and. along it was passed down through the Lancaster County Branch of that great system until he reached Philadelphia, where he ever after resided. At least fifteen years ago, however, Slavan went blind and managed to live only as sort of watchman for small shop on Lom- bard street, but he so bravely made the best of the bargain and so wisely overcame the difficulties which fate had thrown in his way that he was soon the shops errand boy, and later one of its regular clerks behind the counter.
 "He was the most useful man around my place." said his employer His sense of touch was wonderful By it he could make correct change in both paper and silver money-it was impossible to fool him. He knew just where every article was kept and had no trouble in finding anything a custo- mer wanted. He knew every telephone
 
 over the city with nothing but his stick to guide him."-Philadelphia Press.

1.-The Marine Bride"

"The Marine Bride," one of the best known characters ill the streets of Berlin, is dead. She was a worn-look. ing woman, about 55, shabbily dress ed, although of good family, and al- ways carried heavy bag. Her story is tragic. Many years ago she was be- trothed to a navy surgeon, and shortly after her engagement she received news that he was drowned at sea. Her mind became unhinged, and since the day of the fatal news until her death she had wandered along Unter den Linden, believing that her betrothed would return to Berlin driving through the Branderburger Thor. In heavy bag she carried what she believed was a suit of clothes, for which her lover would exchange his sea-stained gar. ments.
