The large peninsula thrust out from northwestern Alaska, dividing the Boring sea from the Polar sea, was, up to few years ago, unnamed and almost unknown.

Geological Survey, 1900.
 According to government report, half the native population of Alaska Is afflicted with tuberculosis. The Katalla Herald, commenting on this statement, says: It Is surprising how the dread disease seizes on the Indian population the moment they come in contact with civilization. What Is also surprising, we think, is that the germ of tuberculosis was not found among the IDdians until the white man brought it. The rest is simple cause and effect. The white races, being subject to the disease, have developed a power of resistance by the simple process of the wedding out of those predisposed to the complaint. The Indians, on the other hand, have pass. ed through no such ordeal, so that when the disease comes among them it finds a much higher percentage of tbose who fall an easy prey to it.
 IL is claimed that ever since Che Mt. Pelee eruption there has been unusual activity of the Muir glacier of Alaska. The indication of this activity is the fact that Glacier Bay has been so filled with icebergs that 1t has been impos- sible for tourist steamers or other steamers Co approach anywhere near the glacier. Reports, however, from the bay this season indicate that 1t is comparatively free from ice. The Alaska Steamship Go. has accordingly arranged to have excursion steamers call at Muir glacier. This is moro than one of the great sights of Alaska, 1t it one of She great sights of the world, and the fact that the excursion steamers of this line will give passen- gers the opportunity of @ near inspec. tlon of this glacier should create sn added interest in Alaska excursions.-- Alaska ukon Magazine.

The Bamberg Guards Win.

The following is taken from the
Charleston Sunday News of June q:
cat Battery Jasper yesterday there
were three companies engaged In the
firing of the 10-inch rifle battery, install
ed at that fortifcation, and the rivalry
between the men was very intense:
The different positions in the work OF
aiming and firing these large weapons
of war were entirely in the hands of the
militia, and some splendid records were
made. It will be very gratifying to the
many friends of the Bamberg Guards,
which is known on the roster Of the
National Guard as Company I, Sd South
Carolina infantry, that the men Of this
splendid command won the contests by
a yery fine score. The members of this
organization, which >by the way, is on
the Island for the first time, having
only lately been assigned to the Sd regi-
ment, carried off the honors in all three
of the contests held. The best time
made by the militia commands was one
minute and forty-fve seconds, and this
was done by the outfit from Bamberg.
The company came to the encampment
with one of the largest complement In
either of the regiments, there being
ffty-fve men on the rolls. Capt. John
F. Folk is commander of the organiza-
ton, and First Lieut. Frank Bamberg, a
graduate of Clemson, is one of the Off
GERS.

HOLD-UP IN ROCK hLL.
Pockets of Young John Lindsey art
Searched But No Booty Found.

Rock Hill, June ga holdup within
5O.feet of Main street in the main busl-
ness block of the city is Rock Hills
latest sensation. This occurred Friday
night about 1890 in a dark alleyway,
between the Beach-Ihrie jewelry store
and the Western Union telegraph Office:
John Lindsey, the 14-year-old son OF
Mr. J. C. Lindsey, the market man, was
returning home from the picture show
and took "a near cut through this alley
way. It is very dark in there. and
when he had gotten, perhaps, half way
along the building a man stepped out of
the darkness and ordered him to throw
up his hands. This he did and the rob-
Der went through the boys pockets.
john is a right manly boy and rather
tall for his age and was probably taken
for man BY the robber. It is not re-
corded what was found in the pockets
hut no money was there. After search,
inc the boy the man told him to burn
the wind. This the boy did in a very
much agitated frame of mind. He
could not say whether his assailant was
white or black as the spot where it oc-
Cured was very dark. Neither could
he say whether the man had pistol.
