 Captain Brunn went ashore when the Despatch returned from points on the West coast last week. It is stated that he contracted @ severe cold while experimenting the work of rescuing the passengers and mail from tho wrecked steamer NIariposa. It was the Despatch that carried the passengers from the scene of the wreck to Ketchikan from which

The City of Seattle is due in Skagway sometime tomorrow.
 Tie Alameda was reported at WrangeII at 8 o'clock this morning. She will get into Juneau sometime tonight and to Skagway tomorrow.
 That they can salve the wrecked steamship MariDosa is the opinion Of officials of the British Columbia Wrecking Co. The wrecker Salyoro now at Pointer Island, where the AIariposa is fast on the rocks, has made 10 progress at galying the wreck so far, having confined her work to taking the cargo from the stranded liner, but, it is said, the SaIvor expects to drag the Mari posa from the rocks after the rents in her hull are mended.

police magistrate there, had died suddenly at 12 o'clock from heart failure, and requesting that Judge TayIor's daughter, Mrs. w. R. HI lery, be informed of the unexpected and sorrowful visitation.
 Ftnm the meager information at hand 1t appears that Judge Taylor had been suffering with his heart for about a week and that three days ago he had a quite severe at tack, from which he rallied, how ever, and all danger seemed to have passed for the time being.
 Mrs. Hillery had already made preparations to go over to White horse today to visit her parents aud attend Trafalgar Day celebra- tion. She left on the train this morning, accompanied by Mir. Hillery and their little son and was due to reach there at an early hour this afternoon.
 We understand that the body of Judge Taylor will be embalmed by the L. A. Harrison Co. after which it will be taken to the deceased's old home near Toronto, Canada for burial.
 Judge Geo. L. Taylor was a man os tender heart and kindly and gen iaI manner, who had host of friends in Whitehorse and south ern Yukon, as well as ill Skagway' who will all sympathize with the family in their sad bereavement. The remains will probably arrive in skagway tomorrow afternoon accompanied by Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Hi!lery and family.

NEW STEAMER WILL
 REPLACE THE GEORGIA

Juneau Dispatch: If the rumor be true, the steamship Georgia, when she goes to Seattle the latter part of this month, will never return. To take her place on the regular Juneau-Skagway and Juneau-Sit ka runs, will come the speedy and comfortable City of Angeles, which has been plying between points on Puget Sound. The City of Angeles is about twenty feet longer than the Georgia, has triple expansion en- zines and skins through the water at 14 knots per hour.
 The rumor, which apparently en- auates from an authoritative source, is that the Pacific Coast company's interest in the Georgia has been absorbed by the Alaska Steamship compary, and that the City of An geIes has been acquired by the latter company for service in Al askau waters.
 While the travelling public of Southeastern Alaska will welcome the appearance of the new steamer i+ can truthfully be said that the little steamer Georgia will be missed. She has for many years carried mail and passengers oyer the rough waters of Lynn canal and Chatham Straits under the mOss trying circumstances.

 The Kansas City was built at Chester, Pa, in 1889; is built of Iron; registers 3,679 gross tons and 2,I63 net tons. She is 327 feet in length, has @ beam of 45 feet and a depth of 18.S feet. Her engines are capable o' developing 4,OO0 horse power, and her re Quired crew is 79.
 Rumors of the purchase of the Kansas City by the Alaska s. s. Co. were in circulation last spring, but It was later stated that the owners and the Alaska S. s. Co. failed to agree on terms. Officials of the Alaska s. s. Co. made no secret of the fact that they wanted the Kansas City.
 Later the Alaska s. s. Go. and the Pacific Coast S. S. Go. en- tered negotiations for the purchase by the former of the latter's steam ship Puebla, and again there was a failure to agree to terms.

Author Redemption of David Corson "

/ firmly imbedded in the bosoms Of the
old as in the young.
1t is quite enough to start ones
tears. to count the gray-headed men
and women in our picture shows, here
in Daytona. Small wonder, it is, to
see the young and inexperienced abb
sorbed in the romantic adventures of
lovers, struggling in the tolls of cir
cumstance; but what shall we say Of
the venerable men and women who
sit absorbed in experiences which are
as impossible to them as being born
again?
How many of them, think you,
would be willing to bare their bosoms
to a curious world and let it see their
jealousies of happy lovers? With what
irrepressible and hopeless longings do
they wish that they were in the places
of those ardent youths! We've had
our day." they sigh, and try to satisfy
themselves with that reflection, but
it is cold and almost cruel comfort.
With an undying craving for repeti-
ton of those passionate hours, which
they recall in memory, they see the
happy lovers in each others arms, and
the next instant, wrnkled, old hus-
bands and wives, look into each
others faces, with the terrified con-
seriousness that, for them, those joys
have passed away forever.
THE tender grace of a day that is
dead, can never come back to them"
but, after that first glare of the re-.
lighted lamp which has disclosed the
ravages of age, they see a loneliness
underneath those wells of corrugated
flesh, diviner far than inexperienced
youth can show Their romance is
reality, thank God.
