MARROW
 ESCAPE
ROYAL MOTORISTS UPSET AT EDGE OF HIGH PREclPlCE
 IN GERMANY.

BERLIN, May 10.-Emperor Will liam of Germany an1 King Edward of England had a marrow escape from terrible death. King Edward has been Germany's guest for a number of days. The time has been much taken up in out-of-d doors pleasures, motoring being the favorite mode of pleasure. Today, while the two rulers were riding at a high speed along the edge of a high precipice the automobile encountered a small knoll in the road. Though Emperor William, who was driving, did all in his power to hold the ma chine to the track, it tipped over on it's side, throwing the occupants upon the very brink of the abyss.
 Had the motor car gone two fee. further, both men would have been thrown clear to the edge of the chasm and undoubtedly dashed to pieces ol the rocks beneath.

EXCURSION
 TO PAYSTREAK

A large train Tod of merry eXcur- sionists took advantage of the beauti- ful day yesterday to visit the third beach paystreak. The special train of the Seward Peninsula railroad made three trips during the day, the one leaving town at II o'clock carrying the greatest number of people.
 Though the air was little crisp, there was too much of interest to see for anyone to complain of the cold
 Ire "paystreak spur" runs directly through the heart of the richest part of Seward peninsula, and the melting of the winters snow allowed the pleasure seekers to see the immensa amount of work whicf has been done during the past season Dump after dump was passed as the train rolled along owing to the recent cold snap, there was but little sluicing in prot gress. The freeze-up has made the water very short, though it is probable that if there is a change in the weather there will be plenty of sur face water to finish slucihg up all of the dumps. The operators are evident ly expecting a change soon, for they are setting up their boxes and getting in readiness to shovel in as soon as the water begins running. Mrs. E. w. Johnston, who has just won title to a rich dump on No. Cooper gulch, had three men sluicing up the valuable dirt which has caused all of the trou- hle. Tom Doyle is sluicing, as alsJ are few Center creek operators.
 There is still considerable snow on the tundra, though the greater part has disappeared. There is enough on the hills to supply the creeks with a large sluicehead for many days yet.
 The excursion was much enj ,yed by all who took advantage of it. It is to be hoped that the railroad company will see fit to give many more at frc- quent intervals in the future, for they are much appreciated by hundreds of people who have their Sundays to de- vote to such pleasure.

Brag, of Fort Davis, and Fred Jacobson, of the Nome life- saving sta ton, will wrestle for prize of $50 and a side purse, while two heavyweights will also be put on for a bout The side purse of $500.

Word has comef rom Kaltag that the telegraph line is in very bad condition.

were on the same ground on different lays
 Things were proceeding apparently harmonious in some instances, not withstanding these adverse conditions. until thaw weather and surface water interfered with their operations. Then work all along the line was tempo rarily suspended. During the early part of the thaw spell, and at a time when 1t was practically impossible foc teams and human aid to move them off, two new outfits moved inside the boundaries of the New Morning Star claim and the Winters association, drill machine of Johnson ct al, which is also busily perforating holes to bed rock as fast as money and labor can put them down. These operations, in this exact locality are interesting, in view of the fact that none of them admit having found pay.
 Saturday a Nugget reporter learned of note sent to town a day or two previous which stated that the writer was positive that Smith, Bounds and Niebuhr had found the pay last week on the Humboldt, in direct line with the operations on the Dublin and Sour Dough, to the west and the Capitola. Rockland Dunce-Cap and Derby groups to the east Inquiry from those who are best calculated to know, in view of these facts, inclines to the belief that the paystreak has been cut in several places on some of those claims The operators who are doing the most work are the ones most ready to deny having located the pay and the natural conclusion of prospectors generally who are posted in that neighborhood is that the miners arr hiding the paystreak for fear of liu gaton.

 The cabin is situated on No. below on Newton, and when Feike arrived there yesterday he found that the lock had been broken off the door and the place robbed of everything which was worth carrying away.

may still be alive was abandoned to-
day following the attempted eXplora-

Of three would-b rescuers.
It is estimated that the number Of

more. Of this numebr about 20 are
foreigners, while several others are
negroes, but the majority are Ameri-
cans, with families. Further efforts
at getting to the men have Temporal
rily been abandoned as the air is so
foul that the rescuers cannot stand
to be lowered to reach their COM
rades.
Scenes about the mine are pathet-

The Speech of the American Girl.

The American girl, with all her
fascination is often crude-generally
so-and sadly lacking in the all
around refinement Of English girls.
Take first the cultivation of the
voice. Our climate inclines it to-
wards scridency, and noisy streets
increases its volume. All the more
should it be educated. do not
mean the singing voice, but the
everyday speaking voice, and the
charm that can lie in it. Fenimore
Cooper wrote of Judith, in the Deer
slayers:
the education and association as, the
the education and association as the
modes Of speech: and few accom-
plishments so much aid the charm of
female beauty as a graceful and even
utterance. while nothing so soon
produces the disenchanoment that
necessarily followed a discrepancy
between appearance and manner as
a mean intonation Of voice or a vul-
gar use of words
Place the money so often wasted
in trying to make singer or plan
ist of poor material, and put it into
the teaching Of perfect enunciation,
soft tones. and the correct use OF
words. Several years ago I was call
ing on one Of the cleverest, as she was
one of the loveliest Of New York 5
mothers. when her little daughter ran
into the room to make some request.

had no decided talent for music, but
good ear. so she had her taught to
use her voice in speaking correctly,

A Day With the City Nurse.

We have al heard Of the city nurse
-,a2t arsel OF caarity wao, thanks
to the ladies of the Civic League
Visit; the homes Of the citys less
fortunate sick. Cut probably few Of
US have any idea of the grand good
work this nurse is doing. Let US go
with her on last Sunday, bleak and
cold though it be, to one Of the homes
visited.
Here, in a small naked room, lies
a woman, very old ond racked with
consumption. Though the day is
cold there is no fire and no scrap Of.
wood to make one. Though the pa
tient is hungry, diligent search fails
to discover a nlorsel Of food any
where in the house In bed, and cold,
oh so cold, and shivering till her few
teeth chattered, nothing to eat, moth
ing to wear, no cover, no fire. Little
to do for such one, you say? Rath-
er, everything. And our nurse does
everything that can be done. She
goes up town and to everyone she
meets she tells her dismal story; and
not to deaf ears. One big-hearted
man carried wheelbarrow of wood;
a warm-hearted woman sent some
food, another some bed clothing, an
other warm fannels, with the result
that the poor woman is today able
to sit up by good fire, is warm and
comparatively comfortable and knows
what food tastes like. Without the
nurses timely aid it is certain that
she would have died before Monday
of starvation and cold.
Right here in the city of Sumter
this took place, and at the hour when
comfortably housed congregations
were singing and praying and hearing
fine sermons and were probably Ia
menting the absence Of opportunities
to do something for somebody.
Did you ever feel the joy that
comes from helping some really needy
one? Would you like to know how
infinitely sweeter it is to give than to
receive? Have you been longing for
that experience? Here is your oppor-
tunity.
That visiting nurse to the poor
should discover the want Of many
things, is what one would expect.
These things are such as you have in
superfluity, perhaps, and can spare
without feeling it, though if you do
feel it, your JOY will be all the greater.
Sheets, pillow cases, night clothes,
bed clothes, infants clothing, clean
rags, milk, eggs, all kinds of simple,
nourishing food fit for sick folk
things that you would long for if you
were sick. Opportunity? This is not to
beg you for anything. It is to offer
YOU the chance to make yourself feel
good and happy-about as perfectly
happy as you will ever feel in this
world Just get together everything
you think would be a help to our
nurse in her noble work, things sorely
needed, absolute necessities, but for
which there seems to be no provis-
ion made in our city's regimen. Bun
BILE them up and send them around to
the nurses house. And if you don't
feel like better and nobler being,
wait a few days, and then call up the
nurse and ask her what she did with
your things. and you will hear a story
that may bring tears to your eyes,
but smiles to your heart. ***
