Capitalists Shed Salt Tears
 Over Split Milk.

Jack Hines, former member of the Nome Nuggets staff, has written that paper some letters from New York about people and events in the eastern metropolis interesting to far northerners on account of their relation to matters in Alaska. Here is an incident related in one of the letters that will make good with any hardluck story of the year:
 "A few days ago Denny Blakeley, Harry Walters, George Borchsenins and myself were summoned to appear before the stockholders of the old Alaska Gold Mining Company. You remember it- Ed Waggaman' proposition. We sat on one side and the capitalists on the other tine old colonel in the middle. He started off this way:
 Gentlemen, I've asked you to come here and speak before these gentlemen the men who put up the money for my exploiting in Alaska, and who say robbed them and did not at any time act in good faith. Now, I've not very many years to live, and 1 want this one thing squared up before die
 ''They had an attorney who quizzed us each, separately, anent our knowl- edge of the old Alaska Gold Mining Company's ground, wh,ch comprised all of the beach lines back of Nome We all told conservatively of the value of that property, and when asked to ballot an estimate of the possible cash value the average of four guesSes was seventy three million dollars. Well, sir, the old sports just wept to think that few thousands more would have given them the bulk of this fortune
 ''The capitalists showed in many ways their humiliation and only wanted some things to prove to the colonel that they were ready to make good and back him for any amount.

PLACER GOLD IN NEVADA
Klondiker Believes Diggings Will Rival Those in Early California
 and Montana Days.

Cariin, Nev., April l0.-Stirring scenes, not unlike the klondike rush of 1897, are being enacted as result of a placer dis covery made twenty miles from here on Jackson creek, a tributary of Maggie creek. In several bench and creek claims below the discovery sensational pans are being found. Bench claims pay equally as we'll as creek claims.
 From great number of pannings yesterday from the original discovery the amounts ran from 15 to 60 cents a pan, mostly in coarse nugget gold. The gold runs in all the gulches along the base of the mountain ranges for upward of three miles. An old klondike miner who has spent three years on Eldorado says that the placer diggings here will rival the great diggings of California and Montana.

Gold in Railroad Tunnel.

Helena, Mon., May 30.-Employes of the Chicago and Milwaukee railroad, while driving tunnel for the new road to the coast, struck rich vein of ore and have staked for themselves.
 It is claimed the ore is the richest ever found in the Occur de Alenes and all work has come to stop. Samples of the ore have been handed about and it is claimed specks of gold can be dis cerned with the naked eye.
 All the ground in the vicinity has been staked. A special representative of the railroad company left this place to see what can be done toward contin- ung the work.

ANGRY PROTEST MADE
MACCABEE GIRLS OBJECT TO DE-
cIsIoN FOLLOWING DRILL.

The announcement last night by Mrs. Lii
liam M. HOLSTER. supreme commander Of
the Ladies of the Maccabees Of the World.
at the conclusion Of the competitive drill
between Mount Vernon and National hives,
that both teams will be sent to Jamestown
to compete in the national drill
brought forth a storm of protest from the
Mount Vernon members and their friends,
as they had just defeated the National Hive
by a score of SO to 20. and they contended
that 1t was understood the winning team
only was to be sent
The judges, John r. Brown, Charles
Shackelford and Maj. Ross, after carefully
noting both exhibitions, decided that the
Mount Vernon Hive had done the best work,
and the large hall Of the National Rifles
Armory rang with the cheers Of the follow
ers. of that organization, but it soon died
out when Mrs. HOLSTER called the captains
OF the two teams to the platform and an
nounced that both teams should go to COM
pete in the national drill. Miss Edith Van
ness, captain OF the winning team, voiced the
protest at this juncture and called attention
to the large score by which her team. had
defeated its rivals, and insisted that her
team had no desire to go to jamestown I'M
less 1t goes as the only team from the Dis
trict. She stated that a great injustice had
been done her and the girls under her COM
mand, and insisted that the understanding
had been from the first that the winning
team would represent the city in the ma
tional contest. She declared the decision
was unfair.
Mrs. HOLSTERS Statement.
There has evidently been a misunder-
standing here" said Mrs. HOLSTER. In
other places we have been opening the way
to both teams. where the decision Is close
and there are only two teams. This fact
the Washington teams did not know, and,
as the rivalry is intense. the Mount Vernon
team Is very indignant. As q matter of
fact. in this case the decision was not very
close. The Mount Vernon Hive, however,
obtains the title Of the winning team Of the
District and cash prize Of $40.
Mount Vernon Hive received the cash
prize Of SO. and National Hive received IS.
Both teams made q good showing in the
girls were uniformed in white duck shirt
waist suits. braided with dark blue caps,
and red white and blue sashes. The Ma
tional Hive team wore white duck tailor
made suits braided in red, white service
caps, and white leggins.
In connection with the drill there was an
informal reception by Mrs. HOLSTER and
Miss Bina West. There was also a musical
and literary program, consisting Of: Miss
Emily Ditto and James Tierney sang solos;
little Margaret Tucker sang and contributed
a fancy dance, and little Beatrice Cosgrove
monologue. Miss Anna lowell gave
monologue, and little Miss Elizabeth Farney
did toe dance. Three clever children
Miss Mabel Kirby, Abel Robinson and Mas
ter Elmer Cosgrove, did a clog jig. Miss
Katherine Alderman sang a Highland song,
and Farney and Cosgrove sang duet. The
Greater Washington Minstrel Quartet, COM
posed of Messrs. Chick. Scribner, Galleger
and Hunter sang an amusing song.

Stone for Municipal Building.

Thre three-masted schooner Mary Har-
graves entered port yesterday laden with a
cargo Of about 400 tons of polished marble
from New. York for use on the new munich
pal building. The schooner passed in the
capes and up the bay and river unan-
nounced. although her sailing from New
York for this city had been reported. The
vessel has been taken to a pier at George
town, where the heavy blocks Of stone will
be removed from her hold by a floating
derrick. and will be placed in wagons for
transportation to the building. After un-
loading her cargo, 1t is stated, the ves-
sci will go down to Alexandria to load a
cargo of railway ties for New York. This
is the second cargo of stone the Hargraves

SECOND TRIAL
Wreckers Put Fast Express Into Ditch
Scores Of Passengers Escaped
by Hairs Breadth on
High Bank.

Pittshurg, Pa, March 2s.-'lne Penn
sylvania's keystone express, eastbound,
was derailed near Wilmerding, Pa, IA
miles east Of here, early today The
engine, two mail cars and a combination
baggage and smoker left the tracks, but
no one was hurt.
1t il believed the train was intention
ally derailed and that the deed was done
by the same parties who wrecked the
Chicago limited at Stewart last Friday.
The same plan was carried out, and
only the slow speed of the train, 80
miles an hour, saved it from turning
turtle, diving over steep bank and
crushing out perhaps score of lives.
The work of the wreckers was thor
0ugh, and in this their evil intent is
shown, one rail joint on each track
being displaced within few rods Of
each other. Had trains coming in oppo-
site directions met there the on-rushing
flyers would have met with fearful con
sequences.
Following the derailment Of the
coaches the passengers rushed out in
their night clothes. When they dis
NRfNtNA tHtIt WIS AiO iAltAlfNAAft hhttHSA
they returned to the cars.
A special train from this city took
the passengers east after o delay Of an
hour and 10 minutes.
Railroad detectives promptly started
an investigation. Whether the wrecking
was for revenge or robbery was not
known.
The spikes, bolts and Ash plates from
an entire length Of rails had been re-
moved and the rail turned inward on
tracks and and the main tracks
eastward aud westbound. Nearby a
track wrench and pair Of gloves,
while in the creek below claw bar,
nuts, bolts and fish plates, were found.
1t il supposed the tools were obtained
by breaking open company chest. A
yardinan, who passed the point where
the express was wrecked, few minutes
before the accident occurred, said he
saw two men walking along the track.
He gave the detectives description Of
the men and every effort il being made
TO find them,
The scene of the wreck Is at a sharp
curve near Turtle creek, and, as if by
miracle, the outside rail held and
prevented the whole train from plung-
ing over 40-foot embankment into
the river.

The Blessings Of Middle Age.

The greatest free gift Of the years Is
impersonality. That voracious interest
in ourselves which is so natural limi.
tation OF youth fades of its own accord
as we grow to fuller knowledge Of our
slight endowment, the paucity of our
spoken lines and the fragmentary and
insignificant part Of our role in life. And
then what is to I'll up the yoidg We
are, after tall, not cast for the hero's
part but are we to sink into mere hard.
ened machines? The gift Of entirely i'm.
personal enjoyment is one of the great
est Of life's events, When it falls up
on us we can adorn our secret corners
Of delight and learn to live in them
We begin to listen to music with no dis.
quieting desire to have it interpret our
personal emotions or feed our ambitions
We can look at pictures and nature with
a new and more liberal interest.
There is shifting Of basis, by which,
if we will, we may gain complete adj
vantage. As in youth we cling TO some
gloTifed fragment of the past or hold
out our hands to some warm hope Of an
nnearned but magnificent future. so In
middle age we come, If we will, to
moment richer and nobler in itself Ii
in youth we use the senses for personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, in matnrit. we learn
to enjoy them for themselves. Il is a
shifting Of basis from motion 10 percep-
ton, and the perceptions can give as
keen a pleasure, every whit, as the emo
tions.
To keep the sight and the hearing
ever alert, attuned to wider visions and
funer harmonies, Is TO be on the win
ming side in the game Of life. To OBJ
serve the world in the gross, as il sub
serves personal interest, Is not par
ticularly yivifying, but continually TO
see and to hear more delicately, more
exactly, is to intensity life and lifes
interest. AS The demand Of the intel
lect is to feel itself ever increasing in
power and scope, 70 the demand Of the
senses Is for continuous refinement and
delicacy Of resource, and this Is to be-

alive, till. at the instant Of death. des-

tide Of our abilities and our zest.-George
