ESKIMODISROBES
ON WHITE
WAY
Visits Booze Dispen-
saries and Sheds Coat
and Chaps.

NEW YORK, July 31.-Steve Nan
tuck is an Eskimo, four feet tall, and
halls from Point Barrow, Alaska and
these facts he took the great white
by storm the other night, and
as result was arralgned in York
Vile court to answer to the charge
of disorderly conduct.
Steve had heard soldiers in the
Seattle post talk about the great
white way, and since then has been
anxious to explore its mysteries. He
joined the Carnival Circus Company
IN Seattle, which was to tour the East.
When the company arrived in Ruther-
ford, N j., he took a train for New
York
steve never got any farther than
Thirty-seventh street, for opposite the
station he saw some great white
lights. The lights and cheed were too
much for the Alaskan, for soon he
shed the tick seal coat he war wear
ing At anoter dispensary of good
cheer his chaps became too warm,
and they were likewise shed.
Denuded of his real seal skin hunt
ing outfit, Steve felt that something
was out of place and his New York
garb was not squite cosmopolitan. He
ran along Seventh avenue. followed
by a crowd of children. until they at
tracted the attention of a policeman,
who joined the chase, and finally over
took Nantuck. The officer, with the
assistance OF two other policemen,
was able to place handouts on the I'M
ru1y prisoner.
In Yorkville court sentence was
upon Nantuck's promise i'm
mediately to rejoin his company in
and not to trouble New
York policemen in the future.

ORANGE PEEL

SALT LAKE CITY, July 81
Orange Peel is the name of the dairy
man of the Utah food and dairy COM

Orange Frederick Peel is the name
in full.
II have had more difficulty persuad-
ing people that am not fooling, and
all but taken an oath that my name

low called me lemon peel after he

tanned. 1t is scarcely an exaggera-
ition to say that in this way the sum
mer vacation instead of becoming
burdensome expense, may actually Dc
made an economy. For example, a
lawyer OF moderate means in south
western town obtained a small bit OF
land on a national forest a few miles
from his home. From the forest ser
vice he obtained the right to cut quak-
ing aspen logs for the construction
of his house. From this timber a neat
little cottage with i've rooms was built
and furnished for about thousand
dollars. 1t stood at an elevation OF
5000 feet in a beautiful region or
spruce and pine timber. One trout
stream, we'll stocked, was within
hundred yards. and there were four
others within a radius of few miles.
Deer, grouse and wild turkey were
plentiful in the vicinity. Yet through
out the summer a rural free delivery
route brought a mail every day,
thirty miles from the railroad. This
mans family obtained bakers bread
by parcel post and the New York pa
tpers every day; yet at the back door
lay a wilderness as wild as any in
America.
Eggs and butter and some fresh
vegetables were obtainable from
ranch few miles away. Fish dur
ing the summer and game during the
fall supplemented the bill of fare. The
requirements as to dress are, OF course
unconventional in the extreme. Liv-
ing was anything but expensive.
Houses Very Cheap.
If the site that you choose for
summer home is reached by wagon
road and within reach of small saw
mill, both OF which conditions are
fulfilled on most national forests, you
may construct a perfectly adequate
house for a ridiculously small sum.
The forest service will sell you the
logs at nominal rate. Thus two
their summers in the mountains had
built one room log cabin with gal
vanized iron roof at an expense OF
little more than 500.
The forest service is now contem-
plating a recreation reconnaissance"
of the national forests. 1t has al
ready gotten out some maps which in
dictate the nature of the scenery and
the quality of the hunting and fishing.
These will be supplemented by In
formation as to the accessibility o.
the various forests. the cost of food
supplies in the neighborhood, and all
other information that prospective
summer dweller could desire. The
American citizen, planning to build
summer home, will need but to adj
dress the forest service for this infor-
nation Sitting in his arm chair at
home. he can select location within
reach of his home that will meet all
the requirements of satisfactory va
cation. If he can afford month OF in
the summer there is no reason why
he should consider summer home
beyond his reach. For the national
forests. both east and west, are at his
disposal free.

There is no need to tell the people
of the West about the advantages oe
the national forests for summer homes
or about the boon which this order
has conferred upon TEN. For many
years hundreds of thousands of them
have been going to the national for
ests every summer. Thus in the AN
geles forest, near Los Angeles, Cal,
such is the rush for summer homes
on Uncle Sam that the forest service
is laying off the more attractive bits
of land in five acre trasts as rapidly
as possible. In these western forests
there are already many summer
homes. Some of these have been
built under the old revocable free use
permits, which. however did not en-
courage permanent improvements, as
they might be revoked at any time.
Others obtained bits of land by buy
ing from settlers who had obtained
their holdings before the national
forests we're created.
Some of these early ventures show
how easily and cheaply summer
home on a national forest may be OBJ

EQUAL RIGHTS BILL
IS PASSED BY HOUSE
Big Delegation of Colored People
Cheer Adoption of the
Measure

The bill giving equal rights in places
of public entertainment to every per-
son regardless of race, color or creed
was passed finally in the House to-day
by a vote of 13S to "a after an hour
of speech making. The gallery was
filled by colored people and when the
vote was announced there was a burst
of applause and much waving of
handkerchiefS.
When the bill was called up Mr..
Phillips, Clearfield, moved to post
pone action indefinitely, saying there
was already a law on the subject. Mr.
Stein, Allegheny, sponsor for the bill
made an extended argument in behalf
of the bill, saying it should be voted
upon in Il spirit of Justice. He called
attention to the fact that to-day is
the fiftieth anniversary of the death of
Lincoln the Emancipator, and de-
clared that the bill was a Republican
party platform pledge. The act of
1887. he held, is not enforceable. The
colored people, he said. own 20, 600, 900
acres of land and soc. 900 buildings.
Mr.. Nissley, Dauphin, declared he
would vote for the bill regardless of
the platform, as he considered the
race had been outrageously discrimi-
mated against, but mostly by foreign
born people. He said he knew of in
stances and meant to end them if he
could. Mr.. Nissley was heartily ap-
plauded.
Mr.. Baldwin, Delaware. said there
was enough law on the subject and
! that the bill would only aggravate
conditions. He remarked that people
must realize social conditions and
should not do anything to make
! trouble. Mr.. Wildman promptly chal-
| lenSed the man from Chadd's Ford
and declared his position was wrong.
The motion to postpone was lost
and the roll call followed The Dau-
phin, Lebanon and Cumberland men
present voted for the bill.
In the hall was a delegation of
Allegheny county colored men, headed
! by Chairman Frank r. Steward. of the
colored Republican committee of Allie
Gheny county, who has been active in
behalf of the bill.
The Howarth bill providing for a
State system of licensure for BARRIERS
was defeated in the House to-day, the
vote being 112 noes to As ayes A bill
with a similar object was defeated ten
days ago.
The House passed the Joint reso-
| luton for printing of the report OF
the State commission on revision of
penal laws, which had been recalled
from the Governor.
Other bills passed were:
Authorizing Commissioner of Health
to accept private donations for q union
chapel at the State sanatorium near
Hamburg.
Authorizing foreign land companies
to hold real estate In PENNSYLVANIA.
Enabling second class cities to con-
struct subways and galleries.

Old Liberty Bell Will
Likely Go to Exposition

Philadelphia, April IA deter
mined effort will be made at to-mor-
rows meeting of city councils to Sc
cure the passage of an ordinance per-
mittinS the removal of the historic lib
erty bell from it's shrine in Indepen-
dence Hall to the Pennsylvania build
ing at the San Francisco Exposition,
where it will be exhibited until the
close of the fair.
Mayor Blankenburg and leaders in
councils favor the movement and are
willing to see the necessary money ap-
propriated for the expense of the trip.
Heretofore the proposition has been
opposed mainly by patriotic orders and
by bodies of women who fear that the
precious relic might be destroyed in a
railroad wreck or some other accident.
Now those favoring the exhibition of
the bell in the far western city have
secured the support of Admiral Dewey
and General Miles and the influence of
these distinguished officers is being
felt so strongly that there is little
doubt that the bell will be permitted
to go away, properly guarded by Phil
adelphia policemen.
