A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
How a General of the Army Was At
tended in Death by the Mobile
(Ala.) Rifles.

We find the following incident of
genuine humanity in the correspond
ence of Inc Detroit Free Press, and
commend it as touchingly significant
of the good feeling existing between
the military people of the north and
south, occurring recently at Mobile,
Ala. general of the United States
army was on his way from Arizona to
New York, where he purposed enter
ing a surgical college to have a diff
cult operation performed. AS the
train bearing him approached Mobile,
his aide saw that he was becoming
very i'll, and telegraphed ahead for as
sistance to convey him to a hospital.
DIR. Hutton, the medical superintend
emit of the Marine hospital, was at the
depot with attendants and a carriage.
The invalid was comfortably placed in
it with the gentlest and most assidu-
Gus attention, but he died within sight
of the building, a stranger in a strange
land.
The next day DR.. Hutton, who will
be remembered as a former Detroiter,
telegraphed to the family of the dead
officer in Arizona for instructions as
to the disposal of the remains, and re-
ceived in reply:
Bury him where he died.
AS soon as the Mobile Rifles had
heard that
"A soldier of the legion
Lay dying in Algiers.''
they FASTENED to his help. But he
was already dead, and it only re-
manned for them to do honor to his
memory. This they did by taking
upon themselves the performance of
the last sad rites; as though the dead
stranger had been one of their own
comrades. They carried him, draped
him with flags, to the National ceme-
terry, and gave him all the honors of
a military burial. In the afternoon of
one of the hottest days of the south
ern summer they marched in process
sion over two miles of dusty road, and
as the sun went down fired farewell
shot over the generals grave Then
covering him with flowers, they left
him in the peaceful bivouac of the
dead.
The deceased soldier was a Phila-
delphian, and when the mayor OF
Philadelphia heard of the .sbrotherly
love- of the Mobile Rifles, he sent
them an autograph letter OF thanks. ac-
companied by beautiful floral trib-
ute.
Surely this little incident is ar
earnest of united interests, and a proof
that ever and always
The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring"

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
In Austria They Must Pay Taxes and
Are Classed as Regular
Tradesmen.

Commercial travellers in Austria
have to pay taxes and are therefore
considered regular tradesmen, even if
they have no open business places or
sample rooms. AS rule, good agents,
especially if they have business houses
of their own, refuse to represent firms
who are not well known unless they
can get contributions and warehouse
expenses. They will not run any risks
for firms which are unknown in Aus
tria, and, as there are many firms who
will pay liberal salaries if they can get
their services. American firms find it
difficult to obtain them
Many Austrian manufacturing firms
have branch houses at the capitals, es-
pecially at Vienna, but some English
manufacturings firms, especially in the
agricultural line, have warehouses and
even factories throughout Austria, and
when a traveller. for instance. leaves
the railway station at Prague, the
capital of Bohemia. he will soon no
tice the signboards of well-known
English manufacturing firms who do
a large trade in austria and have their
warehouses even in provincial towns.
Travellers in Austria are mostly
hard working and respectable men,
very temperate in their habits and ex-
tremely diligent Nearly all of them
travel third class on the railways and
with the exception. perhaps, of those
in the wine and spirit lines. they are
seldom addicted to drinking. A trav-
I eler who drinks loses the respect OF
his fellow travellers.

with New Guinea to-day. Its 100000
square miles of territory, held by Great

half century to enrich the worlds of COM
merce and of science to a degree that
may to some extent be forecast by what
is already known of very restricted
areas
1t is difficult country to explore, and
that for several reasons. The noun
tains are numerous and steep, much of
the soil is broken in a fashion peculiar
ly irritating to pedestrians, and the ma
tives, without whose assistance prac-
tically nothing can be accomplished, are
difficult to deal with.

The different tribes which populate
the island differ widely in language and
character, but all appear to be more or
less warlike. The men are well-knit,
strongly built fellows, capable of i'm
mense endurance, and-at odd moments
of much hard work.
Among them are a number of curious
people whom Mr.. Pratt is inclined to
take as hitherto unknown human fam
lily, although as will be seen from the
following passage, he is not yet quite
certain of this:
IAN interesting feature of Hula was
the presence there of piebald people,
he says. For the most part their bodies
were brown, but they were marked with
pinkish patches unevenly distributed
This marking might be due to disease,
contracted from a too constant fish diet;
but if it were a disease l could not dis
cover that it gave any discomfort
Against this theory must be set this
fact that I observed one man in whom
the light markings predominated. In
fact, he was quite fresh colored. like an
European, and had light hair"

Sells Secret of Armor Plate.

R. T. Williamson, resident of
Pottsville, Pa, has sold to the Ger
man government the secret of newly
patented armor plate. The American
government refused to buy. The chief
feature of the Williamson armor is
that it does not present an absolute
resistance to projectiles, but can be
constructed on warships SO that it
will yield slightly when struck The
inventor claims that the armor is abb
solutely impenetrable- The price paid

FINDS RICH COPPER
 ON INTERIOR CREEK

Nj. J. McKinnou brought to Seward Saturday night some of the finest specimens of copper that ever saw daylight. He brought them from claims which he located last fall on a creek not previously prospected, so far as anybody knows, about fifty miles north of the Kashwhitney river, where other rich copper finds were made last year. Assays will be made of some of the specimens, but others require no assay as they are almost pure cop per.
 Mr. McKinnon is well known in Seward as he worked here nearly a year. Last summer he went up the Kashwhitney with two partners to pros. pect and they made the discoveries which he now reports. He is ot the opinion that gold discoveries will also be made in the same region, lower on the creeks where the copper locations have been made, as he saw good indi- cations.
 Messrs. Eidson x Dobson of the Louvre are interested with Mir. Me Kinnon and will arrange to have the property developed the coming seaSOn.

RATTLE OFF S2OO ROBE

A single turn of q roulette wheel last night gave Frank Watson a fox skin robe composed of ten foxskins, and valued at $2OO. It is the only time Mr. Watson has ever been known to take chance on the wheel, but he agreed tO take several chances in raffle for the robe and when it was decided to settle the disposition of the prize on single turn of the wheel Watson took ten chances. The lucky number was 5.
 Thirty-eight chances at S45O each netted $l71 to the owner of the robe. H. H. Hicks, who acquired it in his fur business at Iliamna. There are thirty six numbers on the wheel besides the single and double o. An interesting feature of the result is that we'll known man whose lucky number is offered to take a chance until he found that the was sold. If that number had not already gone to Watson the man who always plays would have won the $200 robe on a single chance at S4.5O.

Harness Aurora BOrealis

Yukon telegraph operators have har- messed the Aurora Borealis to their wires and talked with each other over hundreds of snow covered miles with out the use of the batteries, the lack of which usually makes telegraph lines impotent and and insensate things. The experiment. was tried about two weeks ago when it was discovered that electric disturbances in the vicinity of the wires were interfering with their operation. At times they were great ly overcharged and at the suggestion of the operator at Dawson the batter ies were disconnected from the wire and the operator at that place and At!in had no difficulty in sending mes sages back and forth. It is said to be the first time that this has ever been done on north and south wire, while it is frequently done upon wires that run from east to west.

PLANT TO
 WORK PLACfRS

A hydraulic plant to work placers on King river, twelve miles from King bay, sixty miles north of Latouche,was landed at the latter port from the Farallon by H. Anderson, who will superintend the work. The property is on d tributary of King river, which the owners named Money creek when they located the claims last summer. There are forty-four claims.
 From Latouche Mr. Anderson will take the machinery to King bay m small boats. He has a steam launcu at Latouche, which he and his partners R. R. Abncy and J. w. Sumrai. brought up last summe' and used to cruise along the coast. Al King bay they found a schooner of ten tons cap- acity, which Anderson left there u 1898 when he first located thcProperty
 This was in good condition and An der,on brought upa new engine 10 pu' in it. He will take force or men Io Latouche and proceed to King bay with his plant just before the ,priug break-up.
 This property was discovered in 1898 by Mir. Anderson, but he did not have the capital to develop it. Last year he formed 8 partnership with Messrs. Abney and Sumran, and they came north on the Bertha in the summer. putting off in a small boat near Ln- touche August 3. They made tbc necessary locations and came to Seward in September to file their notices. They then went outside and organized the company which will prosecute the work, with Mir. Anderson in charge. He is California miner of much eX- perience in hydraulic mining, and IS also an Alaska Sourdough, having spent most of his time in the north since 1898. Messrs. Sumrall and Abney reside in Laurel, Mississippi, and were never in Alaska until last year.
