gas fame near by, clapped it on the
bag, effectually sealing 1t.

Horrible Sight That Met the Woman
Who Loved Plants.

The young housekeeper had been
obliged to leave home over night and,
doing so in hurry, had not time to
write down more than dozen or so
instructions for her husband to follow
in the conduct of their household af-
fairs.
During the night 1t turned very
cold and the wife thought with many
.misgivings of her ferns and palms and
other plants left out of doors. In the
morning she telephoned her husband
and asked him about II questions, as
to what he had done in her absence

Much relieved, she hung up the re-

afternoon the steam heat was on at a
high pressure and peculiar odor
struck her nostrils. Her plants had
been placed with infinite care on. the
radiators.

Boston, Feb. 13-One hundred and ffty-six persons are known to be dead as a result of a collision of the New York liner Larchmont with schooner off the Long island coast yesterday. More than half of them were frozen to death in open boats into which they had escaped from the sinking steam ship in their nightclothes. The ther- mometer was at zero and the thin at tire of the victims quickly froze stiff when saturated with water.
 The Larchmont sank in seven min utes after she struck the schooner in dense fog. Boats were quickly lower- ed and most of the passengers were put of in them but some passengers and part of the orew went down with the ship. Forty.three bodies have washed ashore.

TO TURN OVER
 TRADING POSTS
Agents of Alaska Commercial and Successor GO West to
 Make Transfer.

Among the Dora'S passengers on this trip are William J. Erskine, gen. eral manager of the new Alaska Coast Commercial Company, which has bought all the stores and trading posts of the Alaska Commercial Company, and Charles Fletcher, representing the latter company, who will make the formal transfer of property from the old ownership to the new. With this transfer of possession of stores and stocks to the westward, the Alaska Commercial Company will go out of business in Alaska.
 The Alaska Commercial Company was the first American corporation to engage in business in Alaska. Soon after the American occupation in 1867 it was organized and established trad ing posts along the entire southern coast and on navigable waters of the interior. For many years 1t had monopoly ot the AlasKa TUT Iraue, from which is made great deal of money. It was unfriendly to mining on a large scale, as that business steadily diminished its profits by bring ing in competitors, and it did not keep pace with the demand for increased steamer service.
 MT. Fletcher, who will turn over the business of the old company to the new, is one of it's oldest employees. or the original incorporators the only one now living is "Uncle Gus" Niebaum of San Francisco. The company is & California corporation, and when it be- gan busiess in the north Portland was small town and Seattle a frontier settlement.
