SPEAKER cAsnon,s BIRTHDAY.
He Receives Congratulations and the
Hovse Docs a Lot Of Business

Hovee Docs Lot OF business-
Washington.-Notw that
this was the speakers birthday. the
House, after a splendid demonstration
to Mr.. Cannon as he assembled to the
speakers table, settled down to one OF
the biggest days in the history OF the
present session. The day was notable
for the number OF bills passed, forty
five in number, covering wide range
Of subjects.
Although Speaker Cannon started In
bravely to ignore the fact that he Is
seventy years old to-day, he was forced
soon after the House convened to re-
linquish his gavel and retire to his pri-
vate room, where senators and mem
bers demanded audiences and tele-
grams of congratulation came thick
and fast.
Among the bills passed were the fol-
lowing:
To punish the cutting. chipping or
boxing of trees on the public domain
To amend an act concerning leases
in the Yellowstone National park.
Granting additional lands in the Fort
Douglas military reservation to the
University of Utah.
To provide for the subdivision and
sale of certain lands in the state or
Washington.
To amend the act to provide a gov
ernment for the territory OF Hawaii
Ceding to Canon City, Colorado GER
tain lands for park purposes.

CONDITIONS IMPROVED.
Refugees Being Made Comfortable In
Golden Gate Park.

San Francisco.-An investigation
made Wednesday demonstrated that
the fear that San Francisco will suffer
a period of hard times as an after
math of the disaster is unfounded.
Careful estimates made by authorities
competent to speak show that within
the next year there will be over $780,
100000 available for the rehabilita
tion of San Francisco.
The two weeks that have elapsed
since the day of the earthquake have
witnessed transformation from chaos
to regular order. The unburned sec.
tion has been nearly restored to its
normal condition, and when house
wives are permitted to return to their
kitchens to cook, after the required
inspection of chimneys, the streets will
have their old-time appearance.
Conditions in the military district
that includes Golden Gate park were
to-day reported as greatly improved.
Refugees in the park have been 50
comfortable that they have extended
invitations to friends camped in other
portions of the city, and the continue
ton of this practice will facilitate the
work Of concentration now in progress.
While the official census by army OF.
ficers has not yet been completed 1t k
estimated that the Fifth Military dis.
trict contains upward of 10000 people,
a great many of whom are homeless.
Of these the greater number are now
housed in the wooden structures, but
all tents have been equipped with floor
ing and the officers report no person
exposed to the elements except by
choice.

Gould Wins at Tennis.

London.-After Jay Gould had sue
cessfully disposed of Van E. Pennell,
he won the right by defeating him
three sets to one, to challenge Eustace
Miles for the court tennis champion
ship of England. Major Cooper-Key, a
well-known player, after the contest
to-day remarked:
America has done some wonderful
things, but nothing more marvellous
than putting the brains of veteran
player into young man of seven
teen"
That opinion sums up the tennis
ability of young Mr.. Gould to nicely,
for, without doubt, his coolness. per-
feet condition and hold work" are
a smuch responsible for his victory in
the semi-fnals in the championship
as his skill at the game.

Denver Warehouse Burned.

Denver.-The storage warehouse of
the Denver Transit and Warehouse
Company, at Fifteenth and Wyncoop
streets. was gutted by fire Saturday
morning, as a result of combustion
produced. 1t is believed, by crossed
electric light wires. The loss is esti-
mated at $150,000 with about a two
thirds insurance. Owing to heroic eff
forts ON the part of the firemen, I.20c
barrels of bonded WHISKY and consid-
cradle furniture and foodstuffs in an
addition in the rear of the building
were saved from destruction. or the

Companion. Respect for the national
songs is equally important. Even on

ence or assembly ever remains pas
sive when 1t hears Dixie" People
in all states OF the union should be at

'TRAPPER LOST IN
MOUNTAIN STORM
WANDERs FIVE DAYS AND
NIGHTS IN BLIZZARD.
sUccoR FINALLY REACHED.
Falls Unconscious in Snow at Door of
Mining Cabin-Is Taken In
and Nursed Back to
Health,

Denver.-Lost for five DAYS and
nights in the mountains. wandering
blindly and half starved in the terrible
blizzard that whirled down the bleak.
cold canyons of Arapahoe pass, Rob-
ert Stuart, the most prominent and
Oldest trapper and %prospector in Mid
die Park, or in the state, came near
forfeiting his life in a bold attempt to
get out of his cabin before he became
snowbound. When he finally covered
the five miles that lay between his
lonely little cabin and the Lonesome
mines, the distance of which in ordi-
nary weather could easily be traversed
in less than half a day, he was in a
raving delirium from the cold and ex-
posture and the half-starved condition
in which his ~wanderings without food
had left him.
The other day Bob" Stuart resolved
to leave his cabin and spend the rest
of the winter at the Lonesome mines.
1t is usually Stuart's habit to winter
at Eldora, but Arapahoe pass was
snowed in and considered very danger
Gus for travel. His stock of provisions
was low-barely enough for n good
meal. He scraped together what he
could to eat and set out for the mines
Saturday night. When he left, the
snow about his cabin was about even
feet deep and was of the soft, faky
sort that refuses to pack. The snow
shoes he wore were small, and every
step he took brought him ~floundering
to his knees. To make matters worse,
about nightfall a binding snowstorm
came up and the old trapper, for the
first time in his life, lost his way. All
that night he wandered aimlessly
around the mountain tops, striving in
vain to come upon the trail.
Speaking of the night, Stuart said
that IF he had a million dollars he
would have given it for one biscuit" SO

Walks Two Miles in Sleep.

Nashville, Ind.-All known records
for sleep-walking have been broken by
Ora Taylor, who lives near hero, and
who. the other night, dressed only in
his n~ightclothes and in his bare feet,
walked W miles to the home of a
friend. On the way he waded through
an icy stream, but even the cold water
failed to awaken him. Believing him
to be mentally unbalanced, the friend
put Taylor to bed, where he slept
soundly until daylight, and was sur
prised beyond belief to find himself in
a strange bed. He said that he was
conscious Of nothing from the time
he went to bed at home until he awoke
in the morning. /
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-05-08

THEY FOUND HIM IN A DEAD FAINT
great was his hunger. All day Sunday
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs.
day and half of Friday the old man
wandered. Twice he was within a few
feet of the cabin of the mine bosses
but it was so completely covered up by
the heavy fall of snow that he passed
right on by. On Tuesday he lost all
consciousness and can remember nc
more. Instinct guided him to safety
the rest of his perilous journey.
Late in the afternoon Of Friday three
men were eating in the little cabin near
the workings of the Lonesome mine.
In the middle of the meal a faint knock
was heard at the door. Opening 1t
they found Stuart in a dead faint and
CALF frozen, lying on the doorstep.
Hastily %summoning DR.. w. E. Ram
mel, of Denver, the owner of the mines,
the man was given stimulants. For
days he remained in a stupor, unable
TO tell where or who he was. Part of
the time he was raving mad and in his
deliurium would imagine that he once
more was wandering about the bleak
mountain passes half starved. For five
days he had gone without food, and.
according to DR.. Rammel, had he gone
one day more he surely must have per-
ished from the pangs of hunger.
Robert Stuart is SIS years old and is
one of the Oldest prospectors that the
state has. Just how many years Bob
has lived in his little cabin at the foot
of Arapahoe peak is not known, but
every fisherman, hunter and prospector
that has ever had occasion to enter
Park knows Bob" Stuart. He
is guide, mine locator, fisherman and
prospector. He has several claims now
near his cabin hat may prove to be
valuable some day. The grizzled pros
was taken to Eldora, where he
will spend the rest of this winter.
