The following comment on the new play, "The Alaskan" taken from the Denver Post will be of interest 10 all Alaskans. The plsy has been running in the east over a month now aud is meeting with crowded houses every where. Ia fact, it is reported in thsat- ricsl circles to be one of the best pay iug pieces Mr Cor, has ever had on the stage:
 There is real plot snd well worked out story of absorbing interest to 1.-The Alaskan" :" according to newspaper re- ports in other cities, which in itself is boon for comic opera lovers. The plot deals with the fortunes of Richard Atwater. poor New York boy, "grub- s,aked" by rich man named Eastman. His mine is seen in the mild Alaska summer iu full operation, and the com plete psraphernalla for mining and "sluice box" with real running water are shown.
 Atwa,er receives a letter from Mir. Eastman's daughter, Arlee, who was a very small girl when he left New York, telling him of the death of her father. While Miss Eastman was only old enough to remember Atwater but slightly, she was so impressed with the liking her father had for the young man that she organized an Alaskan touring party, which arrives at the "Atwater mine" just as the mine proved to be 8 failure.
 Small6ury Strsnder, a theatric'l manager, who has taken "Florodora" 10 Alaska and has lost everything but the sextet, hearing that gold has been found in proiuslon at the A water mlne, lrings the show girls there in final effort to retrieve his fortune. The Florodora twink" secures much need ed meal for the survivors of Small bury's enterprise, but they have to work for their victusls and are forced into mining ,ogs.

William H. Michael, United States consul general at Calcutta. In a letter 10 the Washington Star tells some queer things about the shark in husi- ness of India. He says:
 The Industry Is carried on by class of natives designated as MughS, very low sort of natives. but who are Indus trIOuS and. in their way, adventure some. This is shown by their dp"Ng to live ou a low. marshy Island off the SunderbanS facing the bay of Bengal. These Islands are really floating patches of sea weed and moss. a kind of turf and jungle. Even the violent action of the waters of the bay causes the surface of the Island to vibrate. Yet these ignorant and partly civilized humans dare 10 live Gu such land for nation with their women and chil- dren and to engage In one of the most dangerous of occupations-that of bat ting with the tigers of the sea. It not infreQuently happens that the courage ous Mugh fails the victim to the say age man eating shark instead of the shark to the persevering fisherman.
 When other kinds of bait fall to at- tract the shark and business grows slack the Mughs throw pebbles that are marked in . certain way with the blood of the shark. kind of way Of casting lots, and this determines who shall become bait for sharks for one day. A strong rope made of the skin of the porpolse Is fastened about the body of the human bait" under the arms. This line Is made fast to der rick erected on 9 catamaran that can be lowered and raised quickly. The legs of the bait are lncased In leg ginSs made of shark skin or a croco- dile skin. To the "bait's" legs are fastened q number of shark hooks and lines, the hooks being baited with or dlnary bait.
 When the boat is near to the spot where sharks abound the derrick is swung out with the human bait dan gllng at the end of the line, and by q sudden Jerk the "bait" Is allowed to faIl with a splash into the water. As quick as a flash one or more water tigers are after the bait. The Mugh is quickly drawn up. when the sharks, hungry and eager. grab at the "baits' legs and In the mixup they manage to swallow the baited hooks and are soon dispatched with spears. This process Is continued until the catch is finished for the day.
 Sometimes the sea tiger manages to fasten his teeth in the leg of the bait before he Is out of reach, but the thick skin logging protects the limb, and, as X rule, the quick and certain spear or a man In the boat gets the too ann bilious shark.

She meets Atwater and before be has a good chance to in troduce himself he discovers that some one has impersonated him. She be- lieves him the prospector who discov-- ed the claim and expresses regret that her father didn't "grubstake" him, Atwater's foreman, known as Totem Pole Pete, has an unworked claim that promises much, but is useless without water, and when Atwater's mine is proved failure he forms partnership with Atwater, who has the engineering skill, to build the necessary water diGch. Miss Eastman and her party, including a grotesque type of museum fossil collector, who is her uncle, leave for Nome, where she has bungalow, and Atwaser promises to visit her there at house party on New Years eve.
 A magnetic soubrette," bent on marrying the theatrical manager, pro- vides much of the comedy, and pony ballet in Eskimo costume is introduced with striking local color.
 The second act sboSs the interior ot Miss Eastman'S bungalow at Nome in the dead of winter.

 Some hunters who ventured into the Sunderbans in a launch last January were told by AGughs that some of their friends had ventured out on a point trying to spear panther, and too many of them crowded together on a spongy patch and all sank out of sight never to rise again. The hunt CTS remained closely in their boats rather than venture on to that kind of terra firma.
 The hunters anchored their boat not far from q Sunderban island which was covered with thick jungle, and during the night couple of large t. gers, q male and female, swan out to the boat and made desperate effort to climb ln The hunters had q fash light with them, which was turned on the daring intruders, and succeeded in killing and bagglng both of them.

THAT ALLEGED AFFIDAVIT

Trusted White Once More.

Mysterious Paper in Which Evelyn
Trusted White Once More.
The day began with a continuance
Of the reading of the letters from Har-
~ Thaw to Longfellow, written after
Evelyn Nesbits revelations to her suit
which Thaw had sent the attorney to
deliver to Miss Nesbit, who at the time
would not see him. Mrs. Thaw fol-
lowed these with relation of her ex-
periences with Stanford White and
Abraham Hummel concerning the al
legged affidavit which she made charg-
ing Harry Thaw with having taken
her from her mother against her will,
and with gross cruelty. Mrs. Thaw
told how she had been induced to an
swer some questions about herself and
Mr. Thaw at the time, and had been
told the stories about his ''cruelties to
girls"
Stanford White had told her, she de
| clared, that it was necessary to take
drassic measures to protect her from
| such a person, and that Harry Thaw
must be kept out Of New York She
denied that she had ever signed any
papers in Hummel's office, but said
she remembered having signed some
papers for White In his Offices" the
contents Of which she did not know.
When she got frightened about the
papers and demanded to see them she
said White took her to Hummefs office
and there they burned paper which
had her name at the bottom of it. She
was not allowed to see what the paper
contained before 1t was destroyed.

RIGHT TO TREAT a JURY
One Party to Suit Passes Some Fine
Apples Around Among the
Men in the Box.

Bihzil, Ind. Feb. .. n Judge John
NJ Rawley, Of the Clay circuit court,
is struggling with the question: HAS
a party to a suit the right to treat the
jury" During a recess in the trial of
the condemnation proceedings brought
by the Indianapolis and Western Rail
way company against John Triplett, to
condemn land east of the city for the
right-of-way of the new Indianapolis
traction line, the defendant, John Trip
lett, went to a store and bought a half
bushel of fine apples and treated the
members Of the jury to the fruit.
When the attorneys for the railroad
company learned what the defendant
had done they at once demanded that
Judge Rawley should dismiss the jury
and issue a special yenire for a new
jury TO hear the case. Judge Rawley
was not prepared to rule on the ques-
ton at once and the case was post
poned until the court shall decide
whether Triplett had the right to feed
the jury on big, red juicy apples.

Probable DiaboIism OF Some Itelian

His Duty of Furnishing

Paterson, \. J., Feb 9.-Justice of
the Peace Robert Cortese was fear
fully mangled in bis office by the ex-
plosion Of an Internal machine sent
him By express. The Office was
wrecked and the defamation could be
heard for blocks. The Judge was TAX
en- to St. Josephs hospital, and was
conscious on arrival there and made
an ante-mortem statement, but he was
dying all the time and was dead by
midnight. He was As years old and of
Italian descent. His office was at %
Passaie street. He had been home to
supper In the evening, and while he
was there his son Robert was in charge
of the office, and received the Internal
machine which came from Newark
and was delivered by an American Elk
press wagon. It had been prepaid and
the boy accepted it and signed the re
ceipt book
Exploded by Pulling a Strap.
When Judge Cortese reached the Of
fee after supper Robert handed the
package to him. The outside wrapper
was of paper, tied with strong twine
Judges Cortese removed this paper. In
side was another wrapping Of paper
made fast with strap such as boys
use to put around school books. Rob
ert says he was watching curiOusly to
see what the little box contained. His
father rested the package on the desk
and pulled the end Of the strap toward
1 him, SO as to loosen the tongue of the
buckle The moment he did so there
was the explosion. A hole six feet
square was torn in the floor and the
desk was driven down into the cellar
| and torn to pieces. The boy was hurled
into a corner and seriously bruised and
burned
Arms, Legs and Back Broken.
Judge Cortese was found lying be-
! tween the doorway and the hole in the
flooring. Both legs and both arms were
broken, his face and body were
torn and lacerated, and his back ap-
parently broken Some Of the flesh
was torn from the bones. He was re-
moved to st. Josephs hospital, where

tice for twelve years. He was shortly

Of detectives in recognition of his ac-
tive work as a detective in aiding the
police in running Italian and other
criminals down.
No Trace Left of the Machine.
From the fact that the greatest force
of the explosion was directed down
ward it is believed the Internal ma
chine was filled with dynamite. Not
a trace of the machine has been found
although the police have searched for
some of it very carefully. 1t is be-
lieved that the sender of the machine
sought revenge on the justice as a re-
suit Of the latter's activities.
