WAITED TOO LONG
South Boston Man Warned Inmates of Building of Fire and
 Lost His Own Life.

Boston, Jan g. -Suffocated after arousing other inmates of burning building. William A. Carey lost his life in South Boston late last night. He discovered the flames in bis apart ment on the second floor of the three story wooden block, 121-127 West Fifth street, and rushed to the third floor, where he warned two boys named Courtney. The boys escaped, but after the flames were extinguish- ed the firemen found Carey's body in the boys room. The firemen had con siderable difficulty rescuing other in mates of the block as. the fire spread rapidly. The damage to the building will not exceed 5000.
 Carey was 36 years old and was not married.

The remarkable success of the college
of agriculture of the University of Wis
consin in helping the farmers of the state
with the solution of their practical prob
lens has led President Van Hise and the
university regents to extend the same
methods of instruction to the man in the
shop, the clerk, bookkeeper, housekeep-
or, teacher, and to wage earners of every
class who are unable to attend college,
SO that they may increase their practical
knowledge and their opportunities for
advancement. This extension work of
the university will be done through cor
respondence courses which will be sim
pie and practical, and will be given at
cost so low as to just cover the expense
of maintenance. 1t is planned to have
these correspondence courses fit into the
regular courses of the university in such
a way as to inspire young men and
women with an ambition to continue
study at Madison and fit themselves for
still higher positions Those who have
not kept in touch with the recent re-
markable development of correspondence
work will be surprised to find out how
much practical instruction can be given
by we'll -planned courses. One difficulty
IN pushing the new movement lies in the
fact that thousands Of people who wholly
approve the general pL l, fail to make a
personal application of le principle.

THE Reporter has 10 apology to make
for its opposition to the denomination Of
Congressman Cooper. We still insist
that a man holding his views on the
Philippine tariff legislation, which will
certainly be renewed ia the coming con-
gress, is not safe representative of a
tobacco growing district. Mr.. Cooper
must at least recognize that the elements
are present in his district when properly
organized, to encompass his defeat.
Whether he will take notice and IN the
future become more subservent to the
wishes of his constituents, remains to be
seen.

Bear Hunting.

Bear hunting, with the assistance of
guides supplied with a we'll trained
pack Of hounds, may be satisfactory it
merely the killing of them is desired,
but it certainly is no sport and de-
serves not even to be ranked with trap
ping bears, as in the latter case the
hunter must possess at least some
knowledge of the quarry's habitat and
habits. Unlike fox, bear, when
once found by the hounds, stands no
chance whatever of escaping, and
there would be just as much sport in
shooting the animals in a park Or pen
as to kill a run to bay bear. And,
while this truth applies to mountain
lions also, there is not even the ex-
cuse of the animals destructiveness,
which is applicable as far as the lat
ter is concerned.-Fielda and Stream.

Mr.. CoNNOR, nominated for lieuten-
ant governor Tuesday. puts it pertly and
pithily in this way: The primary law
was taken seriously and when those who
ought to observe the spirit and the let
ter of the law trample it in the dust by
calling a secret cauc US in Chicago to
nominate candidates I'D later used the
special session of the legislature to force
these candidates on tue people the voters
of Wisconsin would not stand for it.
The attempt that was made to discredit
Mr.. Davidson. by insinuation and cum
ningly devised statements has met the
rebuke we felt confident it would re-
ceive at the hands OF the people,

JUDGE PARKER's complaint that the
American lawmakers are overlooking
the courts with hastily Matched and half
baked laws to be construed is not with
out justification. We suffer from yer
liable plague of laws. IL any abuse ex-
lists the first thing to be done is to pass
law to abate or regulate it. 1t matters
not that there be ample law to deal with
the abuse if it be enforced or that the
abuse does not call for law so much as
public disapproval, the Legislature pro-
ceeds to grind out an act. The mere
passing of a law is deemed remedy.
The abuse is forgotten and likely as not
continues unchecked with the law ig
nored.

The Poodle.

Why is a poodle, SO called? Some
one says: Probably the natural an
swer would recall the old lady who
said that no credit could be given
to Adam for naming the pig, since
anybody would have known what to
call it. Poodle seems SO obvious a
name for this dog. And, in fact, this
is not far from the truth about the
origin of the word. 1t is quite recent
in English not being found before
1864, apparently. 1t is the German
'pudel,' which comes from the Low
German, 'pudeln,' to waddle, and the
dog must have been so called, as Skeat
says, either because he waddles after
his master or because he looks fat and
clumsy on account Of his thick hair"

GOODNESS OF Ice.

It seems strange TO think that some
ice is colder than other ice. The term
''ice cold" always seems to signify a
definite temperature. All water under
similar conditions freezes at a certain
definite temperature. But when the
thermometer falls below that it con-
tinues to affect the ice, making it hard
err and colder The test has been made
by placing a piece Of ice from the
north and piece of ice formed in the
vicinity of New York near a stove to-
gether. The former took much longer
to melt than the latter.--New York
Tribune.

The question has been asked the ed
itor of the Leader, where do many Of the
candidates for state and congressional
nominations get the money to defray
their enormous expenses? 1t is GER
tainly puzzle, for with one or two ex-
captions they are without the necessary
means to permit them to travel to and
fro through the state and districts for
months in the interest of their candi-
dacy. They are not doing it for their
health and evidently not for the nonor
for there is mighty little honor in holding
office these Watertown Leader.

Immediately aIterward he went to bed again and pneumonia developed, which ended his life in little more than day.
 Mr.. Rasmussen came here a short time ago from Juneauto open variety theater, a business which he had con- ducted successfully in Juneau for sev- eraI years. He had just begun the erection of building. Prior to com ing to Alaska he lived in Seattle. He was a native of Denmark.

PLANS TO CONDUCT
 LUMBER YARD HERE
Northwestern Steamship Company Directs Seward Agent to 0b.
 tain Location

The Northwestern Steamship Con- pany has instructed it's Seward agent, s. P. Brown, to secure a site for a lumber and fuel yard. A letter from J. D. Trenholme, secretary of tue com pany, received on the Bertha, an nounces the intention of the company to enter the field here, and adds that it will sell lumber, building material of all kinds and coal, at Seattle prices, plus freight charges, or possibly a little less.
 The intention of the Northwestern Company to enter the lumber and fuel business here is understood to be due to it's suspicion that otherwise nearly all the freight of that class will go to the rival steamship company, as all the local lumber yards are controlled by men who do most of their shipping by the Alaska Commercial Company'S boats. The Northwestern has resolved to get a share of this business If it has to go into the retail business to dis pose of it's cargoeS.

STEAMSHIP OREGON
 ARRIVES IN PORT
Brings Twenty-three FirSt1clasS and Sixty-One Steerage
 Passengers

Steamship Oregon, Capt. John A.. O'Brien, docked at 2 o'clock this after noon. She brought twenty-three first class and sixty-one steerage passen- gers. Her Seward freight cargo was 24l tons, which will require uneil to- morrow to discharge. The Oregon will probably sail on her return trip tomorrow evening.
 The Oregon reached port little more than seven days out of Seattle. She ran into some rough weather which impeded her progress. She left Seattle December 29 at II in the fore noon. She sailed from Valdez last night at o'clock.
 Nothing new regarding the Portland was brought on the Oregon and she had no news of any special interest. The last report from the Portland be- fore the Oregon sailed was that taken down by the Santa Clara, whose mas ter, Capt. Schage, stated that in his opinion the steamer was total loss, and this was cabled to the Gateway at the time.
 The first class passenger list of the Oregon was as follows; Anna Means, F. L.. Cochran, Julius Blum, Felix Rookow, Jas. St. Armand Ed. St. Arn- and, Mrs. Edwin St. Armand, Ed Keller, S.
