1 The bad storm yesterday again
 interrupted the work of unloading the Juneau and that boat steamed
 away into the offiing when the blow
 began. The wind veered round from the northeast to due south, when
 the activity of the surf and the
 severity of the squall occasioned
 some anxiety upon the part of the householders along the beachside of
 Front St.
 Cap Bailey, one of Nomes vete- ran mariners, and who is we'll ac- quainted with Hooper Bay, does not consider that section a very diff
 cult one to boats like the Arctic. It
 IS almost all shoal water, however, and requires careful soundings to be taken, but it is difficult neither of entry nor egress. Still because
 of the fact that no report has been heard for so long a time, ha is in- , clined to regard with serious mis-
 givings the prolonged absence ot the
 motor boat
 High prices are simply killing
 the prospectors in Nome. With
 powder, fuse and caps away up, coal
 never so high, and provisions all out of sight, since the men with money
 will not venture, the time is come when the working man cannot. The
 high rates, and higher prices which excuse themselves by reason of the rates, are simply killing the camp
 ProSpectorS realize that the time is coming when they must get out of it
 unless something is done to remedy matters. All the prospecting miners advance the same story and say they know when they are up against it. It was for this reason so many left to take care of their little stakes on the Umatilla and the Victoria. Can you blame them?
 Election dope is now beginning to stir up. It is said that the Un- terrified expect their leader GrigsDy back on the Victoria when they will | lay their plans for a final come | back on Schodeld. The republicans 1 intimate that George B. had better keep still about George D. or there will be some dirty linen washing | will not be very edifying. The de- mocrats have communicated the i services of the band and optioned | the Eagle Hall for Election Eve | and the variety of non partisan can didates are wondering where they | will get off at when it comes to dis tinguishiug themselves before the f Nome voting public. Dan Suther- land has been in close and earnest converse with the leading Wicker and kept the faith Cthe old guard is getting a little smaller every year) and it is not impossible a Wickersham rally may be held where Dan may pay his compliments to Sulzer and the rest. It all de- bends what will be the upshot of the conference with the Wick lead CTS in this neck of the woods. The they think that the democratic drive will be too powerful for a defensive, and they will forestall these plans by a daring offensive when all the party nominees will be hustled into the platform trenches.

THE GREAT DESTROYER,

The Chicago Herald qpotes Will ! liam M. Gemmill, judge of the Mu- | nicipal Court of Chicago, as mak- ing this sweeping indictment against
 intoxicating drinks:
 Booze is the mother of crime. It gives life and sustenance to slums, dives, brothels, gambling dens and 'pay-off joints It nerves to his deed the homicide, the stick up man, the burglar, the thief and the thug. It fires the brain of the prostitute and the panderer It feeds and inflames the passions Of the weak minded and the degene- rate.
 "I have tried an army of 5O,OO0 human dcrelicts, most of whom were booze-soaked. With faces red and bloated, with eyes dull and languid, with bodies weak and vast ed, with clothing foul and ragged, this vast army is forever marching with unsteady step to the graves of the drunkard and the pauper or to the prison and workhouse.
 q have looked into the tear stained faces of still larger army of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, wives and husbands, as they have pleaded for the miserable wrecks that booze has made. I have seen with this army ten thousand palefaeed hollow-checked, ragged. hungry and starving children, cur sed by booze.
 Il have observed that every ban dit crew that goes forth to murder starts from saloon: that every panderer has his rendezvous in a grogshop; that every den of thieves makes it's victims drunk before it robs them; that every house of pro- stitution has it's bar or is in partner ship with booze; that every gamb- ling den is either in saloon or sus- tains a close relationship with one; that the pickpocket the 'pay-off joint for the crook and the crooked policeman is in a saloon; that the professional bandsmen and charac- ter witnesses for thieves and holdup men are saloon-keepers or bar tenders
 Booze has caused 100000 divor- ces in the United States in the last 20 years and adds 25,OOO more to this number every year. It divides more homes, fills more jails and empties more churches than all other influence combined.
 Judges, legislators, mayors, gov ernors and even presidents, sit dumb or quail in the presence of this monster, which enters millions of homes and leaves them desolate.
 "I have witnessed daily it's rav- ages after it had spent its wild fury upon the helpless bodies of women and children, or after it had reaped for a night, in the public dance, its harvest of virtue, now dead forever. I have observed that the last man to be employed and the first to be discharged is victim of booze
 "BoOse never built a park, school or a church, but is the enemy of them all.
 War may be hell, but where it stays it's thousands, booze destroys it's tens of thousands. Adv.

fight for the cause of King George.
She made good her word to the Duke
of ,Cumberland-she espoused the
cause of the House of Hanover in a
time of need. Under great pine tree
she made a speech, denouncing the
continental army as a pack of lawless
rebels, and inspiring her clansmen to
fight for the cause of government and
loyalty to the King.
These Highland Scots, living alone
in a wilderness, had no conception of
the real strength of the American
Revolution. They marched forth
bravely, encountered the patriots at
Moore's Creek in this county, and were
utterly routed. Flora MacDonald's
husband was taken captive and many
of her friends killed.
A few years later she returned to
Scotland. Her indomitable spirit is
shown by an incident of the voyage.
The ship was attached by French
vessel of war. Flora refused to go be-
! low, but remained on deck through
out the action, cheering on the fight
ers, and herself receiving a wound
in the arm. She seems to have been
born fighter, one of those rare spir-
It's that love adventure and risk for
their own salles. She is said to have
dled during a thunderstorm, and to
nave been buried in the sheet upon
which Prince Charlie slept at Ben
Decula. There is a monument to her
memory at Inverness.
| Her devotion to the Jacobite cause
was undoubtedly the ruling motive of
her life. Exactly when it was that
she went to Italy to offer the Prince
a throne in America is not known, but
1t must have been soon after her ar
rival in America, which was in 1873.
A circumstantial account of the Incl
dent is given in the chronicle of a To-
cal Scotch historian. According to this
narrator. Flora was chosen to head
| a committee which went to Rome
where the Prince was living in exile.
But the woman who had saved the
life of the Prince was denied the
privilege of an interview She insisted
that the matter was of the utmost i'm
| portance, that her plan was one which
would give the house of Stuart n do
minion hundred times the size of
England. At last the attendant led
her to the Kings apartment. and she
was allowed to peep through the door.
/ The last of the royal Stuarts was n
| human wreck from disease and dissi-
| patton. Had he been even man enough
to sit upon throne, there is good rea-
son to believe that the resolute Flora
would have put him there.

Prominent PhiladeIphians
Recommend "PolIyanna' y

"Pollyanna" will be played in Har-
risburg Monday and Tuesday of next
Week.
In one of the first audiences which
saw the play in Philadelphia was DR..
Wilmer Krusen, a physician of ma
tional reputation, professor in Temple
University School of Medicine and di-
rector of the Department of Health
and Charities of Philadelphia.
"Pollyanna is charming blending
of pathos and humor," said DR..
Krusen, the optimistic and hopeful
strain which characterizes every ut
terance of the glad girl conveys a
lesson to every auditor. The medical
men are impressed with its phychothe-
rapeutic aspect-the influence of the
mind upon the body. One only has to
watch the faces of the audience to
realize that this play emphasizes the
text that "A merry heart doeth good
like medicine and the day after one
finds oneself trying to play the glad
game and finds out how the good
things of life really overbalance the
disagreeable and unpleasant"

Maude Adams

Maude Adams worked very hard and
enthusiastically over her production of
THE Little Minister" with which she
is meeting with so much success. The
actress loves work. but that connected
with bringing back Lady Babbie, Gavin
Dishart. the little minister: the gossip
ing elders of the church in Thrums, and
the other quantity delightful characters
in Mr.. Barrie's comedy, did not seem
like work at all. Miss Adams has mem
orized some very lengthy roles since
she first played Lady Babbie. such as
Rosalind in "As You Like It," Peter
Pan" "Chantecler" and Maggie Wylie
in What Every Woman Knows" but
despite this she seems never to have
forgotten the lines of Lady Babbie. At
the first glance at the manuscript the
role came right back to her and there
was no labor in memorizing it.
