ACTRESS TELLS OF
APACHES' PURSUIT
Dainty Little Frenchwoman,
Now Here, Had Narrow
Escape In Paris.

Mention OF the Apaches OF Paris
will bring a shudder to Mile. Babette,
leading woman with "A New York
Girl at the Gayety Theater this
week.. for last season the dainty
French actress had the scare of her
life when she was pursued by the out
laws because she refused to dance
with their chief.
Customs of the French theater per-
NIT the audience to dance or sing with
the performers on stated occasions.
Julius Boni. leader of a gang of
Apaches in the French capital, Is
noted for his tenor voice and dancing
proclivities, and Mile. Babette says it
is rare distinction for a young stage
performer to be selected for a partner
by Boni.
One sultry evening. when a benefit
performance was being given in a
Paris theater for a benevolence sim
liar to the American Red Cross, Mile
Babette became-ilI and could not con-
tinue a dance.

at was quite a coincidence" said
the versatile actress today, ''that the
very next dance-the one 1 was too
i'll to keep-was with Monsieur Boni.
OF course, he was mad when 1 did
not appear and the audience hau a
laugh at his expense. He stood on
the stage. waiting, but no one came
forward and he retired, somewhat
abashed"
Mile. Babette dismissed the incident
from her mind for the evening, but
the next day h note called her atten-
tion to the fancied grievance and
warned her to leave the city.
When she refused to obey, members
of Bonfs gang pursued her through
the streets and made two attempts u
kidnap her.

Mile. Babette said, with a typical
shrug OF the shoulders.
Nervous Even Now.
81 am just always nervous when I
think of it," she said with a little
laugh. But of course it is idle to
think of it now.
"If ever one goes to Paris. which
is my birthplace, one should not miss
the opportunity to inspect the rem
devious of the Apaches.
There are many gangs in Paris
yet. in spite of the efforts the police
make to suppress them

That the release of a large number
of prisoners from the jails of Canads
may be expected this summer IL sthe
plans OF the federal cabinet for using
these men as laborers and also for
overseas service come to fruitIon was
the conclusion to be drawn from the
visit of the Hon. Arthur Meighen, So
licitor general for the Dominion to
Saskatoon, says the Montreal Star.
Mr.. Meighen stated that he was on q
tour of all the penftentiafies OF the
Dominion.
While Mr.. Meighen did not state
that 1t was the Intention OF the gov
ernment to use the prisoners to help
out the acute shortage OF men, II is
understood among local Conservatives
who met Mr.. Meighen at the Canadian
NorthEn railroad station and con-
versed with him on the platform that
he is going to the jails with the OBJ
ject of procuring information from
the wardens as to the numbers and
characters OF prisoners at their dis
posal, and to learn the opinions of
these wardens and others as TO the
feasibility of the scheme suggested,

HE ELECTRoLIzED NAVY
Rear Admiral Griffin Accomplished
Great Step for United States.

The United, States Navy was the
nioneer of all the navies of the world
in adopting the electric drive Tor pat
tleships. Now electric propulsion IS
universal, A few years will see the

The change is considered the most
revolutionary of all modern naval de-

The man who accomplished IL Is
Rear Admiral Robert S. Griffin en-
gineer-in-chief of United States navy.
He is an expert of experts IN any
thing pertaining to marine ,construc-
tion and is one Of the veterans OF the
bureau he now commands.
The mechanical equipment of the
great chain of radio stations which
now link the United States with the
Orient has been largely under the di-
rection of Admiral. Griffin. Through
the trans-Racific leap the Secretary Of
the Navy at his desk in Washington

freezone, the new ether drug.
Small bottles Of the magic fluid can

CONFIRMS STORY OF
GERMAN PLOT IN '96
Hannis Taylor Tells of Attempt
to Form European Coalition
Against U. S.

Substantiation of The Times recent
description of the Teutonic attempt
TO humiliate the United States in the
eyes of the world at the outbreak of
the Spanish-American war has been
furnished by Hannis Taylor, minister
to Spain during President Cleveland S
second administration.
Mr.. Taylor was shown a clipping
from a recent issue of The Times
which read:
Interesting diplomatic information
not heretofore made public was dis
closed in entente, circles today con-
cerning the friendship which Arthur
J.'Balfour, the British foreign secre-
taary and head of the British COM
mission, bears to the United States.
"At the outbreak of the Spanish war
in 1898 the German Emperor sought
to form q coalition of European gov
ernments to exert pressure on Spains
behalf against the United States. MI
Bslfour, then in the British foreign
office, opposed the idea SO vigorously
that it died prematurely and the
Kaiser's scheme came to naught."

Mr.. Taylor, when asked whether he
was willing to comment upon this
statement, after a moments hesita.

OUR OWN LITTLE TOWN Is
 BEST AFTER ALL

The following lines sound some what like Walt Mason, but the peri odical frsm which they are clipped merely ascribes them 10 our fa- mi2iar friend, MT. Ex.
 If you meet a man that is down iu rhe mouth, who thinks that his town is all wrong; just take him aside or give him 8 ride and hand him this quaint little song: There are taDcier towns than our little town, there are towns that are bigger than this; and the people that live in the tinier towns and all city excitement will miss. There are things you can see in the wealthier town that you cant in the town that Is small; and yet up and down there is no other town like our little town after all. It may be that the street through the heart of the town isn't long, isn't wide, isn't straight; but the neigh bo-s ycu know in our little town with a welcome your coming will wait. In the glittering streets of the ghttering town with is palac and pavement and thral, in the midst or the throng you'll frequent Iv long for our own little town af- ter all. If you live and work and trade In our little town in spite of the fact that it's small, you'll find that the town-our own little town is the best kind of town after al. ."-Ex.

WILL OPERATE
 VALERIE MINE

Gus Nelson, hard rock miner from British Columbia, arrived in White horse from Vancouver on Sunday's s special train from Skagway, says the Whitehorse Star. He Is here for the purpose of re-opening the Valerie copper mine, situated seV- en miles west of south from town, of which valuable property A. B. Palmer of Vancouver is the princi- pal owner. MT. Nelson brought in with him quantity of machinery which was transported to the scene Of operations Monday by Robert Lowe. In the outfit was a large boiler.
 The Valerie since its location by Gus Gsrvaise IS years ago has had a vast amount of work done upon the property not alone in the pros pecting and development of the ore body. which has been proven of high grade and large extent, but in the erection of numerous build !ngs for the protection of the ma chinery and the accdmmodtoin of employees. A shaft 200 feet deep, now being cleared of the ice that fills it, together with drifts, cross cuts and stopes, comprise a portion Of the work.
 Mes of the machinery formerly l use has been removed. It will be replaced by modern, up-to-date ap- pliances for mining, while the lat est methods for rapid and thorough prosecution of development work will be employed.
 There is quite a little village or log cabins and company houses at the Valerie mine, all of them in a more or less diplapidated condition owing to disuse and the raTages of the elements, but MT. Nelson is putting to work every man who ap- plies for a job and it will be only a shCrt time until everything will be in as good shape as ever 1t was.
 There also will be several hun dreds of cords of wood required at an early date which will furnish profitable employment for many men who are not miners. We un- derstand that Chas. Pugsley, who to Whitehorse from a visit to the outside a few days ago, has entered into a con tract to furnish 100 cords.

 poise he has maintained In all his diplomatic difficulties.
 Study of the attitude of con gressmeA is interesting. Just as the west supported President Will son last November because he was a man of peace, so when the ne- eessity is seen to appear, the west is most thoroughly united in the ef- fort to give him a free hand in taking care of the situation. --
 And just as the west has stood in the way of thg program for com prlsory military service in normal times, the west will lead in the furn- ishing it's quota of men if the real need appears.
 The impossibility of bringing the Japanese government into conflict with the United States has been proven, as well as the weakness of a program of aggression through the instrumentality of Mexico.-Ex.

WHY BARROW DIDN'T VOTE

Point Barrow did not send any election returns, says the Nome In dustrial Worker. United States Commissioner Richardson, at that point, explains that there were only five voters there, including the illiterate wife of a trader, and so, although they have the honor of having te largest voting precinct in the world, they didn't want the hcnor of casting the smallset vote. The voters felt they didn't know a thing about the candidates, so didn't see the necessity for putting the government to the expense of 8 vote being taken. The hope was expressed that - some time when the precinct was more de- veloped they might be able to cast a vote proportionate to its size.

ARE YOUR
 KIDNEYS SICK?
Many Alaska People Have Kept Well By Keeping Their Kid
 neys Well.

The first symptoms of kidney trouble may be only a slight pain in the back, a feeling of stiffness or soreness in the loins, or some an moving irregularity of the urinary Dassages. Urine is often discolor- ed and perhaps sediment gathers upon standing. Next may come a dull, throbbing, backache, sharp, knife-like pains, headaches, dig ziness and in many cases, lameness when arising in the mOrnng. No one can affrod to delay until these troubles become serious. Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills, the tried and tested kidney remedy that has won the praise of thousands. Alaskan readers should find con Yincing proof Of merit in the fol- lowing statement. .-,
 G. H. Behnke, 323 Lincoln St., Portland, Ore, says: Kidney trou- ble clupg to me for six months. l had a dull, steady ache and at time, sharp pains in my kidneys. had soreness over my kidneys and I found it hard to turn in bed. Too frequent action of my kidneys caused me to rise up often at night. DOan's Kidney Pills cured me-"
