READY FOR THE
 BIG DANCE TONIGHT
Dance in Aid of Hospital Expect ed to Crowd Eagle HaIl--Good
 Time Assumed.

The dance to be given this ev- ening in aid of the Good Samar- itan Hospital, in Eagle Hall, promises to be d most enjoyable event. Through the Kindness of Col. ONeil the Fort Liscum band have donated their services for the evening. Messrs. Pinkus and Cameron. the local musicians, have been equally generous.
 The fact that the dance is being given in aid of the hospital should be sufficient to guarantee a crowded house. The Good Sa- maritan has a firmly established place in the esteem of this con- munity. Like all other hospitals in Alaska it has never been self supporting but has been financed and kept going through the untir- ing efforts of Bishop Rowe assist ed by local workers, who have recognized it's help to the unfor- tunates of this section. The hos pital has been a haven for many helpless people in their dime of greatest need by affOrdffAE them an opportunity of regainink their health when otherwise they must have succumbed to their injuries or sickness. All hospitals are constantly being called upon Go perform an immense amount of work for which there is no pos sible revenue save the knowledge that they are helping to tighten the load of suffering humanity. This class of work falls particu- larly heavy upon the local hospi- tai. Patients must be accepted who have little hope of being able to pay their way. To turn them away would be to de1lS the

 However, at this time, it is i'm possible for anyone to know what to believe of the new diggings. Reports are very conflicting, but it must be remembered that all placer camps have been given a black eye by the men who rush in and expect to find gold on he trees or lying about like rocks on the glacier flats about Valdez. and no matter what the reports are this fall large number of pros pectors will go into that section next season and prospect. as they have in every other placer camp, and the chances are that a good producing camp will be found and developed.

General Wood Enthusiastic at

officers at the camp.
A similar camp. with nearly 100 stu
dents from Western colleges, is being
held at the Preside. Monterey, Cal The
purpose of both encampments, the first
of the kind ever held, Is to use the
college students attending the courses
as nucleus around which to build up
an intelligent and thoroughly trained
military reserve. so that, In time of
war. the students can be given COM

eral Wood visited the Gettysburg camp
last Sunday. and addressed the stu

young fellows. They have set pace

the army officers.

through them give the educated men Of
the country, a thorough appreciation of

the theory upon which the army Is at

pertinent we hardly hoped that the stu
dents who attended the camps this sum-

their own initiative have obtained text
books and are proceeding to master
many of them.

Says Cleveland Agreed
To Wall Street Plot

That the late President Cleveland
tacitly agreed to an alleged plot OF
Wall Street financiers to force the re-
peal of the Sherman monetary act by
an artificial withdrawal of credit, bring
Ing on the panic of 1893, was charged
In the Senate this afternoon by Sena-
tor Thomas Of Colorado.
He declared that he had a great mass
Of evidence to show that Conrad N. Jor-
dan was appointed subtreasurer in New
York by Cleveland in order that he
might act as an intermediary between
the Administration and Wall Street in
this affair. Thomas described a con-
ference alleged to have taken place
where a plan was perfected for bring
ing pressure to bear upon business men
Of the country to reduce their credit.
Juggling with the stock exchanges
and with the easy credit of a prosper
Gus period was the means employed to
force repeal of the law and start the
panic, Thomas asserted.
