THE AVALANCHE
THRILLING STORY OF A TERRI
 BLE EXPERIENCE IN ALPS.
Italian Workmen Brave Terrors of Great St. Bernard Pass to Find Work in Switzerland, But
 Are Forced to Return.

The wind whistled in an icy blast down the Great St. Bernard Pass. All was whiteness, save for the dark ruts that marked the wagons path and the narrower lines of sleigh's runners.
 Presently nine dark figures loomed in sight-night travellers on the noun tain pass. They were ill-clad to face the perils of such a journey, and not without many warning word had they set out that morning
 One glance at the pinched, bronzed faces of the men told that, despite the fact that the day was warm for the time of season, their bodies were al- ready feeling the cold acutely. And the solitary woman at their side wound her cloak more closely about her, walking with chattering teeth.
 Theirs was tale of suffering. Only that morning they had set out from the country of their birth, Italy; beau tiful Italy, with its vineyards, it's olive plantations, and orange-gardens, could Ind no work for them. And now, buoyed by the hope that every step was bringing them nearer to a new country. to Switzerland, where men said they would surely find employ ment, they faced the Great St. Der hard Pass.
 By midday they were halfway up the mountain, trudging bravely through the deep snow. On their right lay a deep slope springing from thickly-wooded hollow. On the left the mountain rose, gently sloping. until 1t seemed to merge its whiteness in the sky.
 Several times, as they had journey ed, they had heard the loud roar of an avalanche. But now curious rumb- ling sound, as if some vast body were being drawn over the surface of the mountain, fell on their ears. Minute by minute 1t appeared to come nearer. Suddenly one of the men uttered cry of horror, and pointed frenziedly at the mountain.
 Bearing down on them at an even and seemingly terrible rate was a moving field of snow. To their ter. rified imagination it seemed that the whole mountain was pouring out its snows in heaving, roaring torrent of foam.
 Soon they felt it, at first shallow and easy to resist. but fast rising deeper, rushing around their feet. Then each one struggled for his life,

WOULD SEE AMERICA
PRINCE FUsHiMI. OF JAPAN,
 LOOKING WESTWARD.
Royal Guest of England Anxious to See the United States Before His Return to the Flow
 cry Kingdom.

Prince Fushimi, of Japan. who is now visiting England on special mission from the emperor, will not be satisfied unless the opportunity comes to see the United States before his re- turn home Like the rest of his dis tinguished countrymen he Is alert and intensely progressive, and 1t is but natural that he should desire to see again the land he visited in 1904 when he came to the international exposi- tion at St. Louis as special representa- tive of the emperor.
 Prince Sadanaru Fushimi is tho head of one of the imperial families of Japan, being son of the late Prince Kuni-iye, and was born on April 28, 1858. He welded the Princess Toshi- ko, daughter of the late Prince Ari- sugawa Takahito, on October 6, 1876. She is sister of the Prince Arisuga- wa who visited this country in 1905. Prince Fushimis eldest son, the Prince Hiroyasu, is married to daughter of Prince Tokugawa Keiki, the last of the

Tokugawa line of Shoguns. PrincA Hiroyasu is a commander in the navy. and was wounded while with Admiral Togo on board the Mikasa in the bat- tie of the Yellow Sea on August 10, 1904.
 Prince Sadanaru Fushimi has had long and active military capeer, and has rendered conspicuous service to his country. In Japan all officers of the army have on joining to serve one year in the racks, the first three months as private. the next three months as corporal, ;.nd so on, and Prince Fushimi might in due course have been seen drilling, rife in hand. and knapsack on shoulders, side by side with men of the humblest rank. during his first year of military serv- ice. In the Japanese army the only difference made between the son of a marquis, for example. and the son of a small shopkeeper, 1t may be, while undergoing their first 12 months training, is that the youth who is to hold officers rank is invited to mess with the officers of the'regiment from the outset. The imperial princes all go through this routine of training precisely as do the sons of the people, and possibly these early associations have something to do with the strong attachment that exists between the rank and file and those who lead them in battle.
 Prince Fushimi graduated from the military school and obtained his first commission as lieutenant in 1875 From that time he steadily ascended the ladder of promotion until he atl tained his present status of full gen1 eral in the imperial army, having also been appointed member of the sul preme council of war. As major gem eral he commanded a brigade in the northern part of Japan in 1892. and subsequently in the Japan and China war of 1s94-5, when he fought in the Wei-hai.wei region, as we'll as in the island of Formosa. being awarded as the close of the campaign the Orden of thesGolden Kite. the decoration most coveted by those who are in the military and naval services of Japant
 The prince was promoted in 1898 to be lieutenant general, and became commander of the Tenth division. stal toned at Himeji in southwest Japan. and later of the First division at To- kio. In this position he went to the front during the war with Russia, his division forming part of the second army, and he was engaged in the ses we're struggle at Nan-Shan. and after wards with the third army in the at tack on Port Arthur.
 As in war, so also in peace. the prince has rendered the emperor i'm portant service. He represented his majesty at the coronation of the czar of Russia in 1896. and was specially dispatched by the emperor to the in- ternational exposition held in St. Louis in 1904.
 The suite of the prince. which may come with him to the United States, includes Admiral Baron Yamamoto, until recently the minister of state for the navy: Gen Nisbi. inspector general of military education and training, who likewise greatly distinguished himself in the late war with Russia; Mir. s. NagasaEi. court councillor: Mir. s. Baba. steward to the princess house hold, and Maj. Higashi. aide-de-camp.

Lady Winifred Wins Zephyr Stakes
 at Sheepshend Bay.

at Sheepshend Bay.
 NEW YORK, June 26.--One of the most peculiar accidents ever seen on an eastern race track occurred at Sheepshead Bay when Paulaker, starter in the steeplechase, fell at the third jump and ran away four miles.
 At the end of the fourth mile he tried to jump the fence at the paddock turn and turned complete somer- sault, breaking his neck. He was owned by H. Graham and was consid- cred by many to be a very useful horse. Dick Shaw, at to 1, won an easy victory in this event by defeating the favorite, Garrett, by two lengths.
 Lady Winifred, an added starter in the Zephyr stakes, won in drive. She was backed down from 3 to l to 8 to 5. Grapple won the grass selling stakes, one mile and a sixteenth on turf, in the fast time of l :45 3-5 Two favorites won. The winners:
 First Race,-Halket, first; Hessian, second; Nimbus, third.
 Second Race.-Dick Shaw, first; Gar rett, second; Sir Tristan, third. . Third Race. - Philander, first; Red Friar, second; Bad News, third.
 Fourth Race.-Lady Winifred, first; Live Wire, second; Woodlane, third.
 Fifth Race.-Grapple, first; Acrobat, second; Jacquin, third.
 Sixth Race.-Cloisteress, first; Wood witch, second; Sailor Girl, third.

Senator Newlands of Nevada was soaring in debate one day, soaring so high he hit the ceiling. He realized he was getting a trifie lowery and, to excuse himself, said: Indeed, Mir. President. perfervid oratory may be pardoned, for this subject furnishes all the food eloquence needs" That sounded pretty good to Newlands, but he was a bit abashed when he read in the Congressional Record next day that he asserted his topic furnished all the food elephants need."-Chicago Chronicle.

Holyoke Doesn't Care Whether
 Nichols Plays or Pays.

Holyoke, June 26.-The Holyoke club will not enter any protest against the playing of Captain Nich- ols of Waterbury in the game which Holyoke lost at Waterbury Sunday, when the Waterbury leader was sup posed to be under suspension for not paying fine that Umpire Kelly had imposed upon him when the Water bury captain dug his spikes into Kelly's shoe during a Springfield Waterbury game in Waterbury two weeks ago. owner Fred A. Winkler said yesterday afternoon that noth- ing was gained by protesting games on such grounds and it was matter that was entirely up to the president of the league.

unloue Country Home,

Percy A. Rockefeller. son of Wn. Rockefeller and nephew of John D. Rockefeller, is building country home in Connecticut which is unlike any other ever planned. Perhaps the most extraordinary feature of it is a confined air space in the walls, forming a non-conductor of heat, cold or moisture. The air space, 1t is said, will make the house warmer in win ter. cooler in summer and dryer all the year around than any other mans home, rich or poor.

Proceedings for Injunction.

Proceedings for an injunction have been
instituted in the District Supreme Court by
the DISQUALIFICATION Company, a New
York corporation, against the George A.
Fuller Company to restrain the latter COM
pany from interfering with the complaint
ant in the performance of certain work at
the Hibbs building on 18th street near
New York avenue.
According to the petition filed by Attor-
ney Walter d. Davidge, November 10 last
the parties to the controversy entered into
agreement by which the complainant
was to perform the carpentry and mill
work on the building mentioned. The work

tiously as the condition of the building
would warrant, and any delay has been
caused. it is alleged, by the Fuller company.
clause in the contract, it is stated, pro-
videS that time consumed in delays caused
by the defendant was to be added to the
time agreed on for completion of the work.
which time thereby, it is claimed, will not
expire until July next.
While the work was proceeding SatiSfac-
torily, it is alleged, and in manner to in
sure its completion within the time limit
stated the Fuller company last Tuesday
served a written notice on the complainant
that the work would be taken away from
the company and finished by the Fullers.
The court is asked to intervene to pre-
vent the work being prosecuted by the Full
Ter company.

Money Declared to Be Forfeited.

A group of men gathered around card
table in the house of Adolph Lesser, %
Grant place northwest, last evening heard
some one crawling through the window. it
is said, and they thought burglars were
at hand Explanations of thieves and
burglars went from mouth to mouth, but
soon the blue uniform and brass buttons of
the intruder made it apparent that the
party was honored by visit from the
police.
The intruder was Sergt. Lee of the first
precinct and he was accompanied by
Policeman Downs. The men inJ uniform
took possession of chips and cards which
were found on the table and started a
search for Lesser, who had hastily gone
upstairs. After looking through the rooms,
1t is said. the police found Lesser un-
dressed. In bed and apparently asleep. He
was asked to take a walk to the first pre-
cinct station house. and there he left 500
collateral for his appearance in the Police
Court this morning to answer a charge of
permitting gaming on the premises. When
the case was called, however, no defendant
responded and the money was declared to
be forfeited
