L. children and young people will congregate around the fountain and remarks made in their hearing by men will not be for the best interests of our civilization" This is the sec ond time the question whether nude figures should be permitted on stat ues ill public parks has shaken St. Louis.

AIL!N MINER IS FROZEN 10 DEATH 9|'EE !
His Faithful Dog Stays With Body and Becoming RavenousIy Hungry Eats
 Part of His Master.

The following story of death on the Atlin trail is taken from the Skag- way Alaskan of April 7th:
 Chief of Police Webster, of Atlin, received a telephone message from McPhee creek that Walter Mazanero, colored, had arrived there, apparent ly half crazed, with a story to the effect that Indians had shot John FL wood Simons, colored, and that they also had chased him through the bush for miles occasionally shooting at him. Mazanero's feet were. frozen and he was brought to Atlin hospital, where after getting medical attention he told a different story, saying that he had gone to Simons' cabin on Wilson creek, mile and a half distant from his own, and discovered Simons ab- sent, and no evidence of having been there for some time. After following the trail which he knew Simons would travel, he discovered Simon's body in the snow. with only the head and part of one snow shoe showing.
 Chief Webster organized 8 party and left Atlin for the scene on Sat urday morning. He found the. body on Wilson creek summit with the dead mans dog beside it. Upon mak- ing examination the horrible fact was discovered that dog had started to eat the body, the left arm. left breast, and left lung being missing. The re- mains were brought to Atlin where Dr. S. H. Harrison is conducting a post mortem. Simons left Atlin on his return to his camp on Wilson creek on the second of February, the weather at the time being very cold.
 Evidently his death came suddenly while he was repairing his snow shoes with willow twigs and his suspenders and fell dead in the snow.
 Simons was ten miles from camp and breaking trail so he must have been exhausted when he stopped to repair his snow shoes. The dog stay ed faithfully by him without food un- til starvation drove him to eat of his masters body, and he was standing guard when the search party arrived on Saturday.
 Simons was about fifty years old and he had relatives in Chicago. He had lived in this district for a num- Der of years, and was we'll liked by all who knew him.
 Simons was. magnificent specimen of physical manhood, being over six feet in height ad perfectly formed. He was man of excellent habits and a strong favorite in the camp with all classes. For the past few years he had been chief cook at T. M. Daulton's mining camp on Ruby creek and spent his winters prospecting and had good property on Wilson creek.

BURDENS OF PRESIDENT.

"The president of the United States, with a burden upon him great enough to crush any one but giant, is forced to bear this added one of settling auarrels over petty patronage, says the Baltimore Sun. It makes use of a half-hour interview between the president and Senator Smith, of Mary land. as a peg upon which to hang it's moral Eve or ten minutes, 1t points out, is all that the president can usually afford to visitor; a half hour is about the limit of what he can "give any one United States sen ator to discuss the weightiest affairs And now that Senator Smith has been heard on the one side. it is stated that Senator Lee is to be heard on the other, probably at the same length; and this may not end it. Our Balti- more contemporary draws no distinc'- ton between the two sides, nor does it impute any special blame to eith- eer: but it wants the people of Mary land to see how serious and prepos- terous thing t is" that the presi- dent, with the weightiest national is sues resting upon him, should have to "spend his time and energy and great intellectual powers on the personal af- fairs of our two senators" This is nothing but plain common sense; and it is one of the most curious of po- litical facts that the American people, with all their practical sense and shrewdness, should. alone among the great nations of the world, put up with system that flies in the face of it.--Ex.
 Senator O'Gorman, as the sworn liege of the Baltimore platform, was rather neatly scored on in the Senate, last Friday, by Senator James, of Kentucky. The New York senator had once more pointed out how dreadful q thing it would be for the Demo cratic party to repeal the tolls exemp- ton clause of the Panama act, since this would be in violation of it's dec laration of principles" at Baltimore. He solemnly reminded his fellow Democrats that their pledges" had been made not only for the purpose of securing office, but of enforcement after election" Thereupon, MT. James asked him if there was not another pledge" in the platform that all rec concentrations of judges should be made public, and if Senator O'Gor- mans own committee had not only failed to live up to this but had ac- tually killed the proposal, when made in a House bill creating new judges. Senator O'Gorman fenced with the question for moment or two, but finally, when Senator James pressed the point home, had nothing to say except that it seemed to him "a poor defence Of disloyalty to party ob- legation to call attention to the fact that there have been other departures from the pledges made by the party" In other words, the New York sena- tor compounds for blanks he is in clined to by dalnning those he has no mind to.--Ex.
