moro minor changes would prove highly
beneficial.
Among those most generally discussed
arc the following: Attaching a penalty
to stealing or attempting to steal the ball
or knocking same from a players grasp
with the heel of the hand or closed fist.
Moro riots have been started by the abb
sence of such a penalty than from any
other cause Such method of gaining
possession of the ball or retarding a
teams progress would be analogous TO a
batsman's bat as he made swing
at the ball. tEs
As unfair as this may seem to,sthet av-
eraee spectator I have seen players
drilled in such methods until they be-
came highly proficient in stealing the
ball or knocking it from an opponent $
grasp.
Two or three times last season. the
eleventh player In citizens clothes stepped
ON the field just before the kick off and
received a forward pass. This was lin-
fair and unsportsmanlike but evidently
not so in the opinion of those who re-
sorted to this method of advancing the
ball All players should be required by
rule to wear a uniform made alike, but
not necessarily the same color
The objection made by Mr.. Yost, the
famous Michigan coach, to the penalty
imposed on a team committing foul
beyond its opponents goal line, is justi-
fled. AS the rule now stands the team
committing the slightest foul in scoring
a touchdown, is deprived of the score and
the bali given to the opponents en- the
20-yard line. The average official simply
closes his eyes to such violations to pre-
vent a riot.

Queen Victoria, he received several
hundred such applications.
Queen Victoria always retained pos
session of the pens that were used to
set aside death sentences. One of these
pens, which was studded with jewels
and worth several hundred pounds,
was presented by Her Majesty to Nine.
Albani, the great vocalist.
Nine. Patti received ''reprieve pen'
from the ex-Queen Isabella of Spain
and for many years the diva carried
ii with her wherever she went.
Pens which have been used by FAM
Gus authors often fetch high prices
when put up for sale by auction.
Charles Dickens used a quill pen to
write part of Hard Times" Little
Dorrit," and Bleak House" at the
Villa des Montineaux, and this was
sold some time ago for f3 los.
A valuable pen is the one that was
presented to Mr.. Reed, a we'll known
American, by President Lincoln Just
before his death. 1t was made from a
portion of a box which belonged to
President Washington. The box was
put together from the wood of the lid
of the captains desk of that famous
craft, the Mayf1oWer.

JUDGES WARN
 CHISANA STAMPEDERS

-O-O-
 Judge R. w., Jennings, who has just returned from the Westward, and Judge F. M. Brown, who lives in that country, but who is in Juneau today, both warn people against going in to the Chisana country without being properly supplied with provisions and supplies.
 "A man is committing a crime against himself who goes into the Chi sana at this time," said Judge R. w. Jennings this morning, without talk ing ia plenty of provisions. This statement is made in view ofShe fact that provisions are impossible to ob- tain in the country at any price. Thomas R. Riggs, Jr., chief of the Al aska boundary survey, who has been in the country during the summer, who passed out on the Northwestern, made the statement that prospectors had come to his survey camp and of ferred as much as ten dOlalrs per pound for provisions, but of course, he had nothing to spare. The only op- pOrtunity to get provisions is to find some person who is leaving the coun- l try and wants to sell"
 Tt think it is unwise for anyone to start for the Chisana at this time with out plenty of provisions" said Judge Fred M. Brown. "The travel at this time is coming out rather than going in. This is owing to the scarcity of provisions in the country. There has been very little prospecting done out side of the claims that have been working and there can be but little done until plenty of provisions are taken into the country"
 Judge Brown met D. c. Sergeant, as sociate of Henry Bratnober, at Ketchi- kan. Mir. Sergeant, who is returning to the States from the Chisana has some gold of the country with him and has a very favorable opinion of it. He thinks" said Judge Brown, that it will be developed into good camp" "
 A man who recently returned from the Chisana says that the prevailing prices obtained for provisions which can only be bought when some person wants to leave and sell out are about as follows:
 Coffe, per pound ...............$ $2OO Bacon, per pound .............. 1.50 Rice, per pound ........... 1.25 Beans, per pound ............. 1.25 Flour, per pound ............ 1.25
 T. M. Dunn, who came out from the Chisana very recently, reaching Ju- neau on the Northwestern, is an old hand at the game and has prospected all over Nevada and California. He remarked that it was his belief that good camp would develop in there. During the time he was in the coun- try he saw but two persons of all who were in the camp take pick and shov- el and go out prospecting. The reas- on is that there are no provisions in the country. Men cant prospect and live off the game that exists there. Mr. Dunn says that if he had had pro- visions he would have stayed all win ter, and that he expects to go back.

Good Name.

A rather young, Episcopal minister
had been appointed to certain west
ern locality as he was considered by
his bishop to be sufficiently able to
successfully establish a church, even
in that rather sparsely settled COM
munity. Later, in talking to a friend
the clergyman remarked: II was
obliged to go from one house to an
other and borrow from each the diff.
ferent articles that were needed" The
sympathizing friend suggested that he
should call the church "St. Charles the
Martyr" The minister smiled in his
characteristic way and quickly re-
sponded: mo. San Carlo Borromeo
would be more appropriate"

CHICAGO GIVEN GREAT SHOCK
Insanity Found to Be AIarmInsIy on
the Increase In the First City
Of Illinois.

Chicago has Just completed a cen.
sus and alarm is felt over the figures,
which show an increase Of 25 per
cent. in insanity, with the increase in
population only 12 per cent. in four
years. DR.. H. I. Davis, county physt
clan of Cook county, Illinois. declares
that the number of insane people in.
creases steadily each year.
1t is a fact, however. that the undue
increase in insanity is in many in.
stances confined to certain sections Of
the country in cycles or waves. There
will be a period in which marked in
crease in mental arrangement will be
noted. Then statistics will suddenly
shift and the lunacy ratio will go down
in sections where It was high and go
up in sections where 1t was compare
lively low. Just what is the reason for
this has not been determined, al
though alienists and others have Of
fered all sorts Of explanations.
One of these is that when a great
calamity befalls a community children
born of parents who have suffered
much through the calamity are likely
to be born mentally deficient. The
parents themselves may not suffer in
that way because, being fully grown
and matured mentally, they survive
the shock.

House In Savage Moro Country.
forego IL. One is quite sure that the
women are uglier than the men-untll
one looks at a man. All have sullen,
cruel faces. All have blackened teeth
and mouths from which oozes a thick
red liquid from the betel nut they
chew. Many have scaly, diseased
looking skins.
1t must be remembered that these
generalizations do not necessarily
cover the Moros on the great island
of Mindanao, though they resemble
their Sulu brothers. The Mindanao
Moros have, some OF them, proved
more amenable to our civilization.
1t is these fierce little men of Sulu,
who formerly made vassals Of the
Mindanao dattos, that scorn our meth
DDS and all humanitarian and Chris
tian teaching.
These women have their little
jokes" said one Of my soldier friends
"A couple Of fellows were walking
here the other day, and as they pass
ed one woman made a motion in imi
tation of knife thrust behind their
backs. Her cronies appreciated the
Jest and laughed 'hideously with their
betel smeared mouths"

FISHING WITH CORr1ORANT5 m FULL SWING

must be admitted that the uneducated
Occidental palate usually fails to de-
tect its culinary merits; in fact, when
/ tasted It, thought it compared
rather unfavorably with the smelt, a
fish it superficially resembles. The
market value Of the al appears to be
comparatively high, so that even II
the season be a short one, the cor
morant fishers are enabled to reap
sufficiently rich harvest, which more
than compensates them for their
many months OF enforced idleness
But even in midsummer, there are
many nights when the meteorological
conditions preclude all possibility of
fishing. A heavy downpour of rain
and how frequent this is in a Japan
ese June!-speedily fills the river
with a turbid flood that renders fish
ing wholly impracticable Nor can
the birds do any good on bright moon
light nights, for then, in the beauti-
fully clear waters of this mountain
stream, the fish can sc3 their enemies
approaching and, moreover, they are
not attracted by the glare Of the
great, faring braziers which are
placed, in the form of an iron basket,
on the bows of each of the vessels.
On the Niagara the mode Of fishing
is for some six or seven boats to work
in company These drift slowly down
stream for eighteen or twenty miles
in the form of an open line that
usually extends right across the
river. AS a rule, each boat possesses
about fifteen or sixteen cormorants.
These are controlled by means OF
reins attached to a small collar round
the birds neck, which serves the ad-
ditional purpose of preventing all but
the tiniest fish being swallowed out
right The man standing in the bows,
and therefore deriving full benefit
from the light Of the brazier, has
some twelve birds in his charge, while
the less experienced man posted
amidships usually controls four or Ave
only. The dexterity of these fellows
is really one of the most remarkable
