III I is over a dozen years since the
news flashed round the globe that
n gold in immense quantities had
e. been found amid the snow and ice
of the Yukon territory, on the Dor
der of far-away Alaska, and adven-
turous spirits fastened from every
quarter into the bleak and inhospita.
BILE land whose very name had been
till then unknown to the vast majority.
Gold, indeed, had been found there for
many years, but the phenomenal
wealth of Bonanza creek was only re-
Vealed in 1896, and It was not till the
summer of 1897, when q steamer load
OF happy miners-every one of whom
had struck 1t rich" and bore with him
fortune In dust and nuggets-arrived
at Seattle, that the world awoke to
the fact that another great goldfield,
rivaling those Of California and Aus
tralia, had been discovered.

these magic words were on all mems
tongues In the closing years of the
nineteenth century, and extravagant
though the reports were that trickled
over the long and perilous path lying
between the frozen Businesses of Klon-
dixie and civilization, the reality far
surpassed the widest estimates of the
first prospectors, and eventually it be
came certain that the new gold-feld
was the richest ever known In the his
tory of placer-mining.
For this was not another Rand,
where without expensive machinery
and unlimited capital the earth could
not be made to yield an ounce of gold.
This was the poor mans gold field,
and he needed but a pick, a shovel.
and a pan to place him on the road to
fortune. To get there was the only
difficulty. for one had either to make
the long and costly journey via the
mouth of the Yukon upstream to the
diggings, or land at Juneau or Dyea,
surmount the dangerous Chilcoot OF
White passes, and then travel through
the line Of lakes to the head waters
Of the Yukon, and so downstream to

It All Results From Dumb Drayman
Picking Peck of Peter Pickles

drayman. Hes dumb.
Johnny Pawloski, aged 10. A

When Eddie Chojnach picked a
peck or more of Peter Pickles ripe

the stage was all set for the merriest
little comedy that has been staged
In police headquarters in many, mahy
moons.
To begin with, Pickle, who Is an
Italian. has a very limited English
vocabulary. But he can go some in
Sicilian. Chojnacki is dumb and con-
sequently was forced to play some
what OF a silent part. Johnny Paw
loski brought things TO fitting eli
max by turning states evidence. He
pointed an accusing finger at Eddie
and denounced him as the man who
stole the bananas. Eddie is locked
up.
1t was this may, according to John
ny: Peter Pickle was driving along
Cadillac-sq. with a wagonload OF ba-
nanas. Chojnacki, Johnnie and an
other man came whizzing by In their
dray. The dray riders had not break
tasted. The bananas were tempting.
Eddie reached over as the dray. swept
by and gathered a stalk Of the fruit
lovingly in his arms.
Pickles nag Is old In the service.
His pursuit was well-intentioned, but
lame. Peter hurled Sicilian impre-
cations at Eddie and his friends. The
trio said naught, but industriously ate
bananas. covering their retreat by
throwing the skins on the pavement.
This made things rather rough for
Pickles horse.
Finally Patrolman Thomas McKen-
zie hove In view. He joined In the
pursuit and succeeded in catching the
dray, but not until Eddie's friend had
leaped from the wagon and disap-
peared through an adjoining yard.

them. Johnny wept profusely and
promised to tell the truth about the
matter. He was allowed to go home.
Johnny lives at No. 1916 Rivard-st.
Pickles home is at No. 81 Russell-st.
Eddie. the dumb, wrote number OF

BIG HATS FOR LADIES TO
BE THE RAGE THIS FALL
Manager Of Hudson's Millinery Depart
ment, Home From Paris, Gives
Pointers on Styles.

A. w. Krenning, manager OF the mil
linery department OF the J. l.. Hudson
company, has just returned from
Paris, and talks entertainingly about
the styles for fall and winter. He
spent several weeks in the principal
European capitals. the greater part Of
the time In and about Paris, where he
went to purchase goods and study the
styles.
Mr.. Krenning says that the big hats
will rule in the days to come, par
ticularly while the narrow skirts are
worn. The tighter the skirt, the
larger the hat. For fall, big hats will
be strictly In style and larger than
ever before, although there will be a
tendency to wear smaller hats as the
season progresses until a goodly num-
Der of turbans will be seen on all
sides. Mr.. Krenning states that the
tight, or "hobble" skirt, will gradu-
ally pass from style as fuller skirts
are already appearing in Paris.
The large hats will be OF hatters
plush. duchesse satin. plain and panne
velvets, while the draped turbans Will
be made OF satins, velvets and beaver
strip combinations. A great quantity
of black hats will be worn with COM
binations OF blacks and whites follow
ing closely in favor. Colors that VIII
be mostly in vogue are the new blues,
cerise, all the shades OF green, royal
purple, brown. coral and taupe. Fancy
feathers will be worn very extensively,
as will large wings, pompons and
aigrettes, while the demand for ostrich
feathers will amount to almost
craze. Plenty Of old gold and silver
laces will be used for trimming.
While in Paris Mr.. Krenning pur-
chased many beautiful millinery crea-
tions, all of which will soon be on dis
play in the millinery section or the

Hgadlsss Body Found in River.

A headless body, said by Coroner P. T,
Thibodaux to be that of a white male
youth about IS years Of age, was found
floating in the Mississippi river opposite
this city about o'clock last Monday
evening by Edward Broussard, a wood
chopper. According to DR.. Thibodaux, the
body which was perfectly nude with the
exception of pair of black socks, had
beer in the water ten or twelve days, or
possibly longer, since the head had fallen
away and the flesh was in bad state Of
decomposition. Owing 10 this condition
il was impossible to discover any marks
that might possibly lead to the Identified
ton Of the body and the establishment
Of sex was even somewhat difficult, but
Dr.. Thibodauxs is satisfied from an ex-
animation of the contour of the corBse
that it was that of white boy about Is
or II years old. After being viewed by
the coroner, the body was inferred on the
river batture near the ferry landing
Since the strange disappearance of Mrs.
Nick Arlillo from her home near this city
last Saturday night wild rumors have been
circulated, and the report gained currency
on the streets that the body found floating
in the river Monday evening was that of a
young woman. DIR. Tfibodaux is positive,
however, that the body was that of
boy, and declares that the conformation
OF the pelvic bones and other indisputable
evidences of a physical nature establish
beyond the shadow of doubt the sex of
the corpse.
