GOLD DUST PRICE
CUT AT FAIRBANKS
Banks Agree on Reduction With Re.
suit That Miners Hoard Output.

DAWSON. July .23-Recent arril
walls from Fairbanks bring word that
the three banks there combined and
agreed to allow the miners 25 cents
less an ounce than formerly for their
gold dust. One of the banks was alb
sorbed by the other, and this left the
local purchase of gold dust in the
hands of the two banks.
The result, says the man from
Fairbanks, is that many of the opera
tors and claim owners are selling no
more gold in Fairbanks than they find
it necessary to do in order to raise
enough for immediate expenses.
This" says the Fairbanks man,
causes good deal of gold to be
boarded by the miners until they are
ready to ship or take it to the mint.
Were that gold sold in Fairbanks, the
men getting the coin for it would be
more likely to open their purses and
spend. AS it is, it migitates against
the Fairbanks merchants. However,
business is good in Fairbanks"

FEATHER BED SAVED
SPURNS BURNING BILLS.
Roll of Greenbacks Left In Doomed
House While Beloved Bed Is
Saved.

VANCOUVER, Wash, July %
While his house, containing $175 in
greenbacks, and valuables to the ex-
tent of $1,000, was burning to the
ground, Peter Hanratty, a farmer,
four miles east of this city, thought of
saving but two things-a clock and
a feather bed upon which he had slept
for the past forty years, and which
was brought to this county from Ire
land by his wife, who is now dead,
when she was young girl.
Hanratty summoned neighbors by
use of the telephone, and though they
responded quickly, nothing could be
saved except the clock and the feather
bed. He thought of the money, of the
feather tick, upon which he had
pressed his head for more than two
score of years, and his duty was plain.
So rushing in to the bedroom, he
placed the clock in the feather bed,
grabbed it up and escaped from the
burning building. ALI else was de-
stroyed. But Mr.. Hanratty had saved
his treasured feather bed, and he was
mappy and smiled.

JAPANESE SPIES

writes about the mysterious move
ments of the little brown men from
the Orient
This disposition on the part of the
American public to see a spy whenever
a person of small stature and brown
skin crosses their horizon is some
what of an affliction to Japanese in
America if one may believe the story
that is told o Masanao Hanihara, Sec
rotary of the Japanese embassy. The
story has not the ear marks of au-
Lhority and everyone seems to have
heard it from some one else, but it is
a good one.
A congressman was giving d recep-
ton and hired for the special occa-
sion butler who was to officiate at
the front door The butler, as after
ward appeared, was new at the social
game in Washington
The reception went on smoothly; tho
rooms were filling and the congress
mans wife was laying the solace to
her soul that nothing was going amiss
when the sound of a loud voice, en-
gagged in a one sided alteration reach
ed her ears. The host was despatched
to quell the disturbance and upon in
vestigation found the hired butler con-
fronting little Hanihara and storming
excitedly.
What in heavens name does this
mean?" he said to the butler after get

"Mean?" shouted the butler. 1T
means that no damn Japanese spy gets

who has superseded Nine Cosima
Wagner as the guiding spirit in the
training of the women singers; Marie
Witch and Ellen Gulbranson, who
sings the Brunnhildes.
The German opera houses have
promised not to produce "Parsifal" at
the expiration of the copyright in
1914, although the work will be legal
ly free then. No German manager, ac-
cording to the agreement, will give the
work so long as any member of the
Wagner family is alive. When Helm
rich Conried first thought of giving
the opera in New York he promised to
abandon that plan on condition that
such an assurance be made to him
The German "Buehnen Varein," which
has just put the present resolution
through, was not prepared to do this
at the time, however.
The works of Johann Strauss have
been so completely forgotten I'm vi
emma that an attempt will be made to
revive his opera "Cagliostro" new
arrangement of the text has been
made, and if the experiment is a sue
cess other Opperettas will be treated
in the same way. 1t is now but 10
years ago that the characteristic Wien
nese composer died. Vienna naturally
feels ashamed at having forgotten him
so soon. Much of the neglect of his
work is due to the quality Of the lib
rettos, whose inadequacy the composer
fully recognized. The one operetta
that has survived is Die Fielder
maus." which has a fairly effective
working libretto.
Jules Masannet is at work on his
annual opera, which is this year to
be founded on episodes in Don Quix-
ote" Massanet has now more than
20 operas to his credit, and there
seems no reason why he should not
turn out 20 more of the kind he is
writing now. He recently confessed
that the secret of his fertility was the
fact that he never ceased to compose

to be allowed to take caffein into their

get it at home in the form of tea and
coffee. But thousands of parents who

Mothers and Babies.

Chief Chemist Wiley has ideas on
other subjects besides What is Whis-

something about mothers and babies.
1.-THE American mother is becoming
a better mother he said today. "It is
no longer fashionable to turn babies
ove,. to nurses entirely, and 1 hope
to see the day when all mothers will
realize that the most important work
they can do is the proper rearing of
their children.
"The fashion has changed. and it is
a lucky thing for the coming genera
ton that it is so. Not long ago it was
considered beneath the dignity of most
fashionable women to care for their
children Ctr to give them their natur-
al food. Now it is different Even the
queen of Spain started in to treat her
baby right, and if left to her own in
stincts and inclinations, she would
have done her whole duty by the in
FAINT. But court etiquette got in its
work and I understand that she was
compelled to abandon the baby to the
care Of a. professional mother. I hope
that the next Queen of Spain will have
the backbone to follow her maternal
instincts.

professions today that is as import

of the infant generation. OF course a

benefits Of natural food, either through
