HAD TO EAT MOCCASINS.
Party Suffered Arctic Hardships in
March to Reach the Youkon.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 29.-Bishop
Stringer of the Church of England
has arrived at Dawson, forty-seven
days from Fort Macpherson, at the
mouth of the Mackenzie river, bring
ing the first advices since summer
from that region.
The bishop and Missionary Charles
johnson started from Fort Mcpherson
September 1, hoping to cross to the
head OF, Porcupin river in time to
reach Yukon river last fall with a
canoe. The head Of Bell river emp.
tying into the Porcupin, was partly
frozen, so they had to walk back to
Fort Macpherson.
For twenty-five days they mushed
in binding fogs with little food
Their supplies finally gave out and
they experienced hardships worse
than those of Peary. For many days
there was only a handful of food fol
each man daily.
Finally the party was compelled to
take their moccasins and mucklucks
from their feet and eat them. They
we're able then to walk five or ten
miles a day until they stumbled into
an Indian camp. Their moccasins
and mucklucks had kept them alive
for five days. Each man had lost
fifty pounds in weight. -. ..
Johnson remained at. Fort Mac
Pherson. After the rivers froze, the
bishop, with two Indians, started fol
Dawson via Rampant and Fort Mac.
Pherson, and came through with nc
further difficulty.

WALL OF STORE FALLS.
The Front Of Building at Bishopyille
TumbleS Down.

Saturday about two o'clock in the
afternoon the front of two stores
occupied by the Mcleod Drug COM
pany and J. D. Hill furniture store,
at Bishopville, fell to the sidewalk.
The front wall which was about
ten feet high gave way and fell with
out any cause\ apparently other than
the little wind which was blowing.
Fortunately 10 one was on the side
walk near and therefore no damage
was done other than to the building
itself. Had it fallen at any time the
day before, Christmas eve, it prob
ably would have killed and injured a
score or more people as the sidewalk
was crowded all that day with the
Christmas shoppers.

GRAFT CURSE OF THE AGE.
New York Jurist Denounces Waste OF
Public Money. ast

Troy, N. Y, December 31.-sThe:
age of patriotism has yielded to the
age Of commercialism. Uppermost
in the human mind to-day is not the
stars and stripes but the dollar
mark" i
Such was the declaration ofSupreme
Court Justice Wesley o. Howard, In
an opinion to-day reducing the conn
pensation of members of q commis-
sion appointed to appraise damages
to property resulting from the con-
struction of the Askokan reservoir In
Ulster county, which; is to furnish
water supply for New York city.
"While the commission furnish
avenues for the reckless escape OF
many dollars, there are. other chan
nels of leakage and waste fully as
appalling said Judge Howard.
1T is greatly to be regretted that
no public enterprise can be projected
and consummated without this appan-
ing loss, called graft! Graft Is not
necessarily an illegal expenditure OF
money, but it is that, unnecessary
wasteful use which characterizes the
construction of. every public venture.
At least 40 per cent. Of all the money
appropriated for public use Is lost In
graft. All things could: be possible
if this frighful leak could be stopped
roads. canals, libraries, asylums
and hospitals.
Graft is a product Of our times
and institutions. 1t: Is the, people
who are, responsible. They expect
graft, and even spoil and booty, to
deplete their resources whenever any,
great undertaking is .ventured by
them; and they look with complac-
ence and toleration' and indifference
at ravages upon their property. Graft
is as much an element to be reckoned
with in computing the cost OF a pub
lie structure as is cement or lumber.
It has come to be a matter Of course
this rake of, q. loss recognized by
all who make estimates OF cost In
such cases. A public structure built
honestly would be a freak"

THIS GOOSE HAD SENSE.
Escaped from New Owner to Return
to Former Companions.

Frankfort, KY. Dec, 29.- -Flound-
ering in the soft ice in the Kentucky
river to-day was found a big domestic
goose that was. on it's way to its for
mer home, when it became mired In
the ice. .:,..... 49, .-
The goose had been. given to Ben
Keenon, of North Frankfort, by Rob-
ert Brawner, of South Frankfort. A
river and many blocks of winding
streets separated the goose from his
new and old home.
In carrying the goose from South
to North Frankfort, however, it was
not put in a sack, but was carried In
spring wagon, with its head uncov-
cred. Wise old goose, it took in every
thing as it made the journey, and had
no. sooner been turned out in the
backyard of Keenon's residence than
it began to plan to make it's escape
and return to the flock of it's former
companions. ..... .... =.
Evidently it's journey was partially
guided by mental telepathy, for IT
went straight to the river, then up
the river to- the bridge, where 1t com
municated with the flock on the South
side of the stream. and began to
make it's journey across the river. 1t
was half way across when it mired in
the soft ice and, had to be rescued
from drowning. The distance from
the places on the North and South
sides is nearly a mile, so that it is
figured that only the reasoning and
the shrewdness Of the goose enabled
it to find it's way home.

MARSHAL BERNHARD.
Uncle Sans Faithful Watcher on
. New York's Dock.

More than 20,000,000 immigrants
came to the United States during the
last forty years via the Atlantic ferry
and occasionally under cover Of the
vast army of sturdy and thrifty home
builders there sneaked along fugitive
assassins, rogues and other criminals
anxious to hide themselves in the
cities and distant parts ;of the coun-
try. Some Of the "undesirables'
we're halted and returned by the au-
thorities at Castle Garden and later
at Ellis Island, and others fell into
the hands of the police, but the bulk
of the; important captures were made
single-handed by Deputy United
States Marshal Frederick Bernhard,
who during the whole of those years
has performed duty as. :"sentinel OF
the port" and is doing so still. -
Although recognized and spoken OF
abroad as the greatest of American
detectives, strange to say here IN
New York, which has been his home
for half a century as. we'll as the
scene of his activities, Marshal Bern.
hard is rarely.:if; ever referred to as
successful criminal hunter. e
An exceedinly modest man, during
the long years he has been in the
Federal service Bernhard has sedu-
lousy avoided publicity. -, 8
True, from time to time in the
course of his career mention Of his
captures appeared in the newspapers
but only few of Bernhard's intimate
acquaintances are aware of the fact
that he has sent forty-four murder
ers to the scaffold and guillotine and
II, 500 counterfeiters, forgers, bank
thieves, defaulters and other male
factors to extended terms Of impris-
onment. -
While the full story of Bernhard's s
arrests would be an interesting add1'
ton to detective literature, it can be
stated that there was no fanciful
Sherlock Holmes business connected
with them. They were all accom-
plished by a plain, shrewd man, who
had no need for disguises, because
his calling was known to few and he
was therefore able to go whittier ne
pleased without attracting attention
or being pointed out as government
detective. He never had any use fol
stool pigeons-those loathsome hire
lings who instigate the commission
of crime In the interest Of incompe-
tent officials desirous of building up
regulations as watchful guardians OF
the law and always on the job. -
