Clever Thieves Of Santiago.

The thieves of Santiago are per
sons of extraordinary powers. They
have a curious way of dragging val
liable objects out Of open windows
with long fish lines ending in a clus-
ter OF enormous hooks. "TThey are
as clever with them" says Mrs.
Hugh Fraser in "reminiscences Of
a Diplomatist's Wife," cas- a good
fisherman with a Ay, and they can
empty a room in an incredibly short
time. as n woman who had incau-
%tiously left her baby asleep with the
window open in the twilight found
out. She was not away for mere
than a quarter Of an hour, but when
she returned she found the baby
bowling with the cold, its very
blankets taken and the room as bare
as a hand"

honolulu Shark Hunter.

Honolulu natives have no fear Of
sharks and actually hunt them in
the water. They are unsurpassed
swimmers and divers, and with a
knife can dispatch almost any shark
il the water is deep enough to dive
beneath the fish. 1t is even report
ed that the natives have been known
to lasso sharks with a strong cord.
They carry down the moose and slip
it over the sharks tail. The upper
end Of the cord is held in a boat
above, and at the first jerk the
shark is hauled up, tail foremost.
and then dispatched with knives
fastened on poles.

THE CASE OF BILL M'C0Y.
Ne Redeemed HE Premise Almsst at
the Cost Of His Life.

Nc Redeemed HE Premise Aimsst at
the Cost Of His Life.
The code Of honor in force among
the boatmen Of the Mississippi riv-
Or in early days was rude, perhaps,
but strict, SO far as it went. There,
for instance, was the case Of Bill
Mccoy, who fell into the clutches
Of the law eighty years ago. Brought
before one Of the courts at Natchez,
he was committed TO Jail. The va
,stion Of court was just beginning,
and unless Mccoy could find a bonds
man in the sum Of $4,000 he must
,welter in Jail throughout the long
summer months. At the last mo-
ment Colonel w., a wealthy citizen
Of Nstchez, came to the rescue and
,greed to pay $4,000 if Mccoy did
not present himself to stand trial in
the fall.
In vain the colonel's friends tried
to persuade him not to take the re-
sponsibility, even "the courts ad-
vice that he let the matter alone
vas unheeded. Mccoy was released,
shouldered his rife and in due time
reached his home in sold Kahn
tuck"
Months rolled on and the time of
the trial approached. Everywhere
the chances of McCoy's return were
discussed. The colonel had not
heard from him since his departure.
The morning of the appointed
day came, but the prisoner did not
present himself. The court had
transacted it's other business and
was on the point Of adjourning
when Mccoy, his beard long and
matted, his hands SCARED and bleed
ing, rushed into the courtroom.
Colonel W. embraced him as il he
we're a long lost brother, and eyes
unused to tears filled to overHowing
when Mccoy told his story.
Starting from Louisville as a
hand" on Il 1atboat, he found in a
few days that, owing to unexpected
delays, he could not reach Natchez
at the appointed time. No other
craft presented itself, and so Mccoy
abandoned the "Hat" and, with the
aid of rough tools, shaped a
from the trunk Of a fallen tree. He
rowed or padded his canoe with
only the briefest stops for food and
rest 1900 miles and redeemed his
promise almost at the expense Of
his life.
His trial became a mere form.
His chivalrous conduct and the
want OF any positive testimony won
for him a quick verdict Of mot
guilty.'-iouth's Companion.

BILL OPPONENTS
 HAVE INNINGS

The opponents of the Roden-Gaff- ney eight.hour bill had their innings yesterday. Frank Manley and Tom Aitken, two of the largest and most successful placer operations from in- terior expressed themselves as be- ing opposed not only to it's application in open cut work but also as apply ing to underground placer mining.
 They were of the opinion that to enforce the law would work a hard ship on the working miners who would have their wages cut in proportion to the time lost.
 Harry Badger, representing ditch company, said that the whole of the Chatanika flats would be abandoned if the law went into effect. Messrs. Staples and Larsen made statements against the bill.
 Jerry Scanlon, well known work ing miner came out with strong ap- proval of the eight-hour bill. He said the great majority of the miners want ed an eight-hour law; that some of the ground would not pay if the men worked 12 hours; that placer ground was dangerous to work under ground as quartz mining; that ground that paid at a ten.hour day would also pay at eight hours.

BRIGHTER DAYS
 AHEAD FOR ALASKA

q believe Franklin K. Lanes ap- pointment as Secretary of the Interior is the best thing that has occurred for Alaska in long time," said George F. Baldwin, the we'll known mining en- gineer of Valdez. q believe there is a brighter day ahead for Alaska since we have gotten Fisher and the other Pinchot satellites out of the way. The impression prevails throughout the, country that the new administration will work out the problem of Alaska development to the satisfaction of the people"
 Mir. Baldwin is a passenger on the Northwestern enroute to Cordova. He is general manager of the Mother Lode Mining Company, which is developing property adjoining the famous Bonan- ga mine at Kennecott in the Copper river district. The company is ship ping machinery for an aerial tram way that will be 66OO feet in length over which it's ore will be delivered from it's mine to the Copper River & Northwestern Railway. It is MT. Baldwin's intention to begin shipping ore before the close of the present season.
