Remarkable Change in Ne
gro's ski, From Ointment.

Frankfort. KY, Nov. "a. Prank
fort has a remarkable scientific phe-
nomenon which is attracting much
attention from the physicians of this
section of the state. Ben Sayers.
negro, has turned white as result
lof coming in contact of poison ivy
The scientific explanation of the
change is that the pigment Of the
body has been destroyed by the poi
son, or by the medicine which was
used to counterfeit it.
Sayers is we'll known negro shoe
maker of Frankfort. He never was
black, but was dark skinned and I'M
mistakably negro. Several weeks
ago he was attacked by poison ivy
and there was a breaking out all
over his body, except on his shout
ders. He treated the eruption with
some sort Of medicine and recovered
from the effects of the poison. Then
he was much frightened to notice
white spots appearing on his body
He did not know what it meant and
thought that he was going to die,
although hewas suffering no pain
and was perfectly well. The skin
did not peel off, but the color of it
slowly began to change, the white
spots spreading gradually wherever
the medicine had been.
At the end of a few weeks Sayers
had turned white all over except on
the shoulders, where the medicine
had not been put. Now Sayers is as
white as any man in Frankfort and
would pass for a white man any
place.

The Comet Now and Then.

Times have changed since 450 years
ago, when Halleys comet, for whose
temperance astronomers are now
looking, was in the heavens. Then the
Christian world prayed to be delivered
from 1.-THE devil, the Turk and the
comet" New it says the devil is not
so black as he has been painted, the
Turk is negligible quantity, and the
comet would be rather welcome than
otherwise. Boston Transcript

Balloons and Bullets.

Experiments conducted abroad have
demonstrated that balloons travelling
Mt a height Of from 900 to 1000 yards
could be hit only once out of six shots,
while they were absolutely safe at a
height Of 5000 yards. Even when
struck the damage to the gas bag was
40 small that the balloon was able to
continue its journey for hours before
the escaping gas made landing neces-
sary.

Cordova Alaskan HNellie Cashman
 was passenger on the Santa Clara, en route home. And where do you suppose she lives? Five hundred miles beyond the Arctic circle. She came to Alaska in 1874. She was with the first ones who went into the Oassiar country and many a miner will tell you that if it had not been for Nellie Cashman they would have died in that country from scurvy and other sickness Nellie, on that ex- petition, was the nurse, and scores of men who fell sick with the scurvy re- ceivsd medicine from her, free of all cost if they were broke She was in the Dawson country in '97, and has seen about every camp in Alaska. Four years ago she struck for the wilds of the Koyukuk and now calls that home. While in Dawson she was tho partner of Tom McMullsn in the restaurant busi- ness and they coined money. Tom was showing her the city today, and with her calling on the old pioneers who have known her for the last 30 years."
 From the financial statement present ed by President H. W. Cannon of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company to the stockholders at the annual meeting held in Jersey City the first week of No vem ber, it is learned that the receipts and profits of the company for the six months ending June 30 showed great reduction to that for the same period of other years. The gross earnings fell off $133,537 while operating expenses in creased $234 1000, so that the net earn ings decreased s367,547 The balance available for dividends amounted to $62l ,609. The president stated that the business depression following the panic of 1907 was severely felt by the com- pany. He also stated that labor con. ditions, from an employers standpoint, continue unsatisfactory.-Ex.
 Exchange: "Prior to 1869, when Alas ka became American territory, there had been no gold mining in the territory of any importance. Old Russian rec ords show that small amounts of the precious metal had been observed at various points, though it was not be- leved to be of commercial importance. In the early sos gold was discovered in the gravels at the head of the Stikine, and during ahat period many prospectors went to the Cassar diggings, an the side of the international

SAWMILL IS
 TO BE SOLD
Wii|sop-SyIsester Mill is Soon
 to be Offered

Most people who have been in South. eastern Alaska the past five or six years know quite well the history of the saw. mill at wrangell, one of the best pieces of property on the coast; how. after the death'of Thomas 4. willsop, one of the founders of the industry it passed under cloud-passed into the hands of re- ceivsr-ahhd fer several mopths was .hreattsnlsd viii, lfinapcEa, dssttrpc,ion. Fo review it's pqpp!s pps and downs during that period would bs spperauous. Suffice it to say that in December, 1906, after be- ing in ths hands pf the districf court for year or more. it passed into the man. agement of It's righsful representatives. T. c. McHugh ana Mrs. Mary A. Will son, adm inistrador and adminjstratrix, respectively. of the joiint estate of Will. son & Sylvester.
 Since that time the mill has been run on business principles, cutting the best grades of lum Der, supplying the loggers with a market for the product of their labors, furnishing employment for a small army of men in operating the mill and laying aside each year neat finest egg" yor the heirs Of the joint estate.
 But despite the fact that the mill WAS making money, those into whose charge it had been placed felt that 1t should be gotten out of the bands of the court; i; and the only way t9 accomplish this would be to sell it and convert it into money to be placed in trust for its bene- ficiaries. Accordingly, qn the lath of July, 1907, petition was presented to the Wrangsll probate court, asking for an order of sale, placing the property on the market. Owing to the stringsncy of the money market last fall, it was thought prudent to postpone the m alter to q more pFopitious time. with 2 view to getting something near the value of the mill and ita beaonsings. Hence the hearing has been postponed from time to time until Nov. 2S, 1908, hearing was had, and all present appearing to hcQuAespe, RuA UoFr Hne iha!S, kfahtihs the potion to offer the mill, lum Der, logs steamer, barge, etc. for sale. The terms, conditions, date of sale. etc will probably be given to the public in few days.
 Here. then, permit us to say, will be an excellent opportunity for some prac- tical mill map, or men, to step into busipess than which there is no better paying in Alaska.
