does strike it, never fully reaps the ben eft. Often claimants rise, as if from the very dirt in which the pay is found. Long drawn-out lawsuits follow, and if the prospector wins he finds that good- ly share of his riches has gone for sttor- ney's fees.
 On the other hand, men in the towns are imposed upon by some "prospec- tors" These impostors secure grub stake from business man, and then loaf around some camp saloon; perhaps going out into the hills fer change and looking over the country. Coming back they report that they "could not even get color" This type is soon spotted, however, and the real prospector gener- ally finds someone who places faith in

THE STAMPEDE FEVER.

''Is there really anything to these re- ports of gold strikes you so often print in your paper?" lady at the post asks.
 Yes, there is really something to the reports; the facts are given as nearly accurate as possible. The source of in- formation regarding gold discoveries is always stated, and the old-timers rely to a certain extent upon the credibility of the informant.
 Life in Alaska makes gamblers of us all. Men take long chances in the north. They undergo untold hardships, meet many disappointments, and toll often for years without results. When all their resources are gone they return to the towns to earn another grubstake or, perchance, induce some merchant to furnish them an outfit so they can start out afresh; for the born prospector never gives up. They are the men who each year push the frontier line further and further to the north.
 In many cases the prospector, when he

HOWL FROM IDITAROD.

Howls and walls are heard from the Iditarod, which is allowed only month ly mail service Chief Clerk Handles of Tanana is accused of the grossest neglect in not securing better service for the new camp. "An outrage" is what the Iditarod Nugget calls it, while the Pio- neer (Arbuckle's paper), gives history of the mail service in 1876, saying Ran dies conceived his idea for his Iditarod schedule from ancient archives.
 Now, as a matter of fact, the depart ment at Washington ordered the month ly service of 400 pounds. MT. Handles wired back that this would not accom- modate one-tenth of the Iditarod mail, and he has been endeavoring ever since August to secure an increase, and is still at it.
 Whenever large number of people suddenly leave for an isolated district they can not at once expect a tri-weekly service-the same as Fairbanks has. It was reported that many were to leave the Iditarod this fall, and not until the close of navigation was it certain that the majority would remain there.
 The wheels of the government are slow at the best, and the Iditarod peo- pie should show more patience and not heap abuse on man until they know he is to blame.
 All the mail at Nulato is cleaned up, and if an additional service is needed the increase must be made all along the the line from Cordova. In the mean time MT. Handles receives the blame for it all.

him. Indeed, many bona fide prospec- tors refuse to be grubstaked, preferring to earn their own.
 It is said nine out of every ten men who follow prospecting die poor The men who stake them, however, (and re- main comfortably in town), often have a better chance of becoming rich. But what would this country be without the prospector-the conquerer of the hills, the blazer of trails, the hardest of pio- eers!
 Men follow one another like sheep, but there must be leader. In stam- pede each knows his chance of getting in on rich ground is as good as the next mans. But prospector will not be- lieve his own brother. He has to see for himself. \ stampeder, on the con- trary, is stalker first and a developer later.
 The Red Mountain excitement may accelerate the making of Panama or it may not. At any rate the outlook is as good as any of the other scores of stam- pedes which have made Alaska.

MAN WHO STOLE
SUIT TOOK MORE
CLOTHES AND FLED
James Madden, Held at City Hos
pital, Escaped in War
denis Suit.

The Newark police, as well as the po-
lice officers of the suburban towns, are
searching today for James Madden, 3S
years old. who escaped from the City
Hospital yesterday afternoon in the
clothing of one of the wardens. Mad
den was being held prisoner at the
hospital, to which he was taken from
the Third Precinct police station, where
he fell sick while being held on a
charge of larceny.
Madden is an alleged cocaine f1end. 1t
is believed that he made his escape
from the hospital that he might get
some of the drug which has been de-
MED him since he was taken to the in
stitution on July 16.
The escape yesterday was well timed
and well planned. The prisoner waited
until the afternoon visitors were leav-
ing the hospital, and then, slipping into
the corridor. he found the closet con-
tanning the clothes of the attendants.
made hasty change from his pajamas
and slipped out the front door. A de-
scription of Madden has been forwarded
to the police of nearby places by Cap
tain Carroll, of the detective bureau.
Oddly enough. 1t was through steal
ing suit of clothes that Madden was
first arrested, he having been caught
taking conductors uniform from the
locker of train while coming to this
city from Elizabeth.

FAMILY IS
BURNED TO CRISP
IN TENEMENT FIRE
Efforts of Firemen Were Vain.
Woman Fights Men Who
Would Rescue Her.

WEST HOBOKEN, Aug. AIN fire
which completely destroyed the three
story frame building. 252 Spring street,
late last night, an entire family was
burned to death, although the firemen
made every effort to save them.
The family consisted of:
Louis Blaspettl, 81 years.
Mrs. Marie Blnspetti, so years.
John Blaspetti. 4 years.
Paul Blasetti, years.
Their bodies, burned to a crisp. were
found in their apartments. From the
positions in which the bodies were
found it is indicated that the family
became confused and each sought a
different exit.
The/top floor of the building was oc-
cupied by Peter Teletti and wife.
Teletti became excited and climbed
from a window onto the roof. Mrs.
Teletti, hemmed in on all sides by fire,
was shouting at the top of her voice
for someone to rescue her. She put one
foot out of the window, screaming that
she would jump. Former Chief of the
Fire Department Mestler warned her to
remain where she was. He directed
ladder to be placed against the win
dow BY this time the woman was hys-
terical A life net was spread under
the window in event she leaped.
AS soon as the ladder had been placed
Mestler mounted it. The woman, half
crazed by fear, fought against being
rescued. Mestler had hard battle on
the topmost round. He succeeded in
getting the woman in his arms and
carried her to place of safety.
The fire started in the basement of
the building and within a short time
escape for the inmates was cut off
in all directions The cause of the fire
is not known An estimated damage
of 81 900 was done. The first floor was
unoccupied.

This Truss Prevents protruSion
Ends All Hot Weather Troubles

No difficulty whatever to keep the
rupture comfortably and securely in
place when one wears Cluthe Truss.
No risk of protrusion even when
taking bath or swim, for this truss
Is waterproof.
Don't have to touch q finger to this
truss from the time you put it on until
you choose to take 1t off-wear 1t
day and night IL you wish, and never
have to readjust 1t.
For Cluthe Truss will never shift
away from the rupture opening
never slip fraction of an inch.
You see, this truss Is self-regulating
automatically adjusts itself with
every movement of the body, SO that 1t
unfailingly gives Just the amount Of
support needed, whether little or much,
to keep the herupturec econstantlyin In place.
That's mighty important. for a rup-
ture can't be kept from growing worse
unless 1t is kept from coming out.
Furthermore, while preventing pro-
trusion, Cluthe Truss is constantly
strengthening the weak parts around
the rupture opening.
Loss of strength in these parts Is, you
know, the real lcause of rupture, and, of
course, there can be no cure Except by
operation, which is always dangerously
until that lost strength is restored.
And Cluthe Truss restores that
lost strength by automatically mas
saying the weak parts Massage, you
know, is sort of artificial exercise
-stimulating-strengthening.
In addition to all this. C1uthe
Tuss is always. cool and comfortable
even on the hottest day.

no springs around the waist-no

tneTe, instead OF playing IN 'front.' OF
Colonel Brinkerhoff's tent.
Some members of the battery are ex-
pected to gain in weight considerably
before Saturday, because of the big line
of mess handed out. The eating is
good and there is plenty of it. Often
the cooks encourage the men to eat
more.
I.eutenants Reimer and Treat are be-
levers in the strenuous life. Each
morning they get out from their tents
in the battery street and go under the
cold shower. The shower attachment
which Chief Mechanic Patchen rugged
up. is one of the best in the entire
camp.
A clever joke was played on a new
man of the Fourth regiment during the
week When the band started a con-
cert at Colonel Brinkerhoffs tent he
was told to take his hat and collect
money. A few minutes after he started
the guards had him and he went to the
guard-horse.
1t was thought for time last night
that Governor Fort might miss his pie
when the driver of bakery wagon
heading for the capital seat was held
up by a guard. They have instructions
to keep wagons off the grounds. The
driver whispered something to the
guard and was then permitted to drive
towards the cottage.

UNREASONABLE HANDICAP.

COWES, Isle,of Wight, Aug. 4.-ow-

This racefis sailed under special hand

GOVERNORS DAY

DAY At SEA GIRT.
No Big Thursday Reception to
NOtables at Little White

CAMP FORT, Sea Girt, Aug. A.
This was the Common Peoples Day
in camp. It was labeled Governors
Day." but Governor Fort upset
precedent of many years standing by
not having any big luncheon at noon
with politicians or ministers, lawyers
or doctors grouped about the lawn sur
rounding the executive cottage, and
walking over to General Murray's cot
tage to exchange greetings, with mill
tary band 6liscoursing airs on Little
Round Top.
Just why Governor Fort had decided
not to have guests and the usual dis
play was not announced, but, with all
the elaborateness given at last weeks
affair, it was concluded that no fur
ther official reception was necessary to-
day. Last week 1t was believed here
that ministers and lawyers would be
guests and that the doctors would not
be invited.
There will be a reception at the
executive cottage tonight. when Gov
ernor Fort will be host to a group OF
prominent persons. The Fourth Regi-
ment band will give a concert during
the evening. The guests will include
Gilbert Colgate, Senator Kean and
Miss Kean, Senator Briggs, General
Sadler, Colonel Colgate and w. NJ.
Johnson.
Promises of a shower kept good
part of the large crowd expected from
the summer resorts in the morning.
Later in the afternoon auto parties
started to enter camp and Governor
Fort received a number. of visitors as
did General Murray.
The battery and signal men were
sent down to the pistol ranges for
practise and some good scores were
made. The camp had gloomy ap
pearance all day. Shelter tents were
erected by the Fourth In the field and

MUSIC CONVENTION
Minister Said to Have Declared
Unitarians Will Not Go

Especial to the Evening star.l

OCEAN GROVE. Aug. 4.-The ma
tional convention of organists entered
upon its second session today. when
Tall Esen Morgan gave talk on vol
unteer choirs. Charles T. Ives deliv-
cred an address on hymnals and how
10 use them. DIR. Smith n. Penfield Will
talk tomorrow morning about tbs
Higher Preparation of the Organist.
The convention will be in session daily
until the end of next week.

made by the Rev. DR.. L. w. Munhan.
leader OF the Ocean Grove Bible class,
recently, that we have no right to call
this a Christian nation, because we have
man in the White House who is not a
Christian, is still causing much COM
ner here. DIR. Munhall declared re-
Gently that President TAFT. being a
Unitarian, would not go to Heaven, un-
less he repented. Because of these re-
marks. pr2 Aaron E. Ballard, president
of the associa ton, is daily in receipt OF
letters asking that DIR. Munhall be dis
countenanced by Ocean Grove and
retire.
Mark Andrews, of Montclair, presi-
dent of the association, yesterday
touched a responsive chord when he re-
lated THE Status and Ethics of the
Organist's Profession" That part OF
his address which appealed particular
ly to members of the profession was
as follows:
The Career of an Organist.
ITO speak plainly. l believe that the
career of an organist is not made as
attractive to men and women of musi-
cal ability as it should be. The prizes
of the profession are few and hard to
obtain for many (and sometimes not
entirely musicaD reasons. 1t is almost
impossible for an organist to make any
considerable reputation. The names of
the best organists in the world are
mere names, signifying nothing to the
man in the street. The names of oper-
attic singers. pianists and violinists are
household words. Everybody, musicaI
or unmusical, is familiar with the
names of Paderewski, Schumann-
Heink. Caruso and Bispham You
might ask the first ten people on Broad
way what they know about these cele-
brated persons and they would prob
ably be able to give you an intelligent
and perhaps critical estimate of their
importance in the musical world; but
/ very much doubt whether even one
of the, ten would even remember hav-
ing heard the names of Guflmant,
