VALDEZ.-The following story, the author of which is unknown, dealing with the conditions in Alaska prior to the big gold rush of '9S, was handed into the Miner by an old res ident of Valdez. The killing of the storekeeper was a matter of story in the early days of Valdez, but the de- tails given by the writer while pro- bably correct, are not personally known to the editor.
 On or about February 15, 1888, Mr. Holt, the agent of the Alaska Com mercial Company, at Knik, was shot and killed by an Indian by the name of NicolaI belonging to the Mata- nuska tribe of natives.
 The cause of the shooting was a dispute between Holt and the Indian over some tobacco, known as "Sheep Dip" or natural leaf. Nicolai was urged on to commit the deed by one of the Knik tribe of Indians. for

 The case was laid before Governor Swineford, and he was asked by the people of Cook Inlet 10 take the mat ter in hand.

Finally the tundra broke and the Matanuska In- dians were compelled to fall back into their own country.

Erohman's LittIo Safe.

When Charles Frohman was treas urer with Haverly's minstrels he con- eeived a novel stunt of arousing curl osity in small towns. He bought a small iron safe, about three feet high, and on 1t had painted in big letters, Treasurer, Haverly's Mastodon Min strels." Now actually there was little need for this safe, but 1t was always carried on the first load of baggage that went to 6 hotel. It would be placed in conspicuous place, and then Frohman, waiting until the proper mo- ment, would hustle up to 1t with an air of great importance, open it. put in two or three $1OO bills, close 1t and go away. When the crowd had gone he would slip back and get the money out again. It proved good advertising stunt.-"Charles Frohman, Manager and Man"

About ths Most Effective Internal Ma
 chine In Existence.
 In proportion to its size, the sting of the honeybee is probably the most ef- fective internal machine in existence.
 The stinging apparatus is smaller than that of a rattlesnalie, yet single sting has been known to kill man. When we realize that 1t is almost in- visible and consider what 1t can do we cannot fail to be astounded. It seems the very quintessence of deVilishness.
 The honeybee's sting is complicated 80 complicated that many words and much ink have been used in discuss ing its construction and use.
 It is generally conceded that the sting consists of a shaft of three parts, the principal one being a sheath within which move two barbed lancets. Like the barbs of fishhook, the lancets are not easily extracted from the feshin which they have been driven. The sheath and the lancets combined form a hollow tube through which the pol son flows from the poison sac.
 Two hairy, soft projections, evident ly very sensitive, inform the bee when she is fin contact with a stingable ob- ject.-Popular Science Monthly.

The Moral of the Story.

Professor John Spencer Bassett, au- thor of "A Life of Andrew Jackson" !" in one of his lectures at Smith college, repeated a well known story in regard to Stephen A. Douglas, closing with a moral which aroused peculiar interest
 Douglas, as the narrative runs, was once sitting in a profound sleep in the corridor of the capitol when Adeline Cutts, a Washington belle, passed by. She did not know the sleeper, but was struck with compassion on seeing such splendidly intellectual face under such conditions, and, stopping down, laid her handkerchief over 1t to pro tect it from the flies. Douglas on awakening found the handkerchief, sought the owner and eventually mar ried her. There was a pause, and then the professor added: "Young la dies, the moral of this story Is, have your pocket handkerchief marked"

TRACING A CRIMINAL.

The Most Expert Will Leave Some
 Mark That 5etrays Him.
 Successful criminals nearly always specialize in their work, and 1t is ow- ing to this fact that detectives in many cases are able to track them down, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Not only do criminals make practice Of committing one particular style Of crime, but the methods professional crooks employ are practically always on the same plan.
 One burglar, for instance, will al ways enter through the fanligbt over the front door of a shop, another by breaking In at the back Most burglars, too, will continually repeat burglary in the same neighborhood.
 It is by carefully observing and not ing the special systems notorious crooks adopt that detectives can often effect their arrests. Many time a burglary has occurred and the criminal vanish ed, leaving apparently no marks by which he could be traced, and police officials have been able to produce him in court within a few days, to the utter astonishment of all concerned
 It does not matter how subtle or careful criminal may be, he always leaves some betraying sign behind for the well informed detective to act upon.

How Charles M. sohwab spurred Them

 In telling how he increased the efi- ciency of one of his departments Charles M. schwab, the famous steel man, says in the American Magazine:
 Tt was near the end of the day; in a few minutes the night force would come on duty. l turned to a workman who was standing beside one of tho red mouthed furnaces and asked him for piece of chalk.
 "'How many heats has your shift made todayT I queried.
 Six, he replied.
 'I chalked a big 6 on the floor and passed along without another word. When the night shift came in they saw the '6' and asked about 1t.
 "The big boss was in here today, said the day men. He asked us how many heats we had made, and we told him six. He chalked 1t down.
 "The next morning passed through the same mill saw that the '6' had been rubbed out and a big T' written instead. The night shift had an- nouneed itself. That night I went back. The '7' had been erased, and Q '1O swaggered in its place. The day force recognized no superiors. Thus a fine competition was started, and 1t went on until this mill, formerly the poorest producer, was turning out more than any other mill in the plant" |"

PESTS THAT LIVE ON PESTS.
Tiny soOrpion-Iike Crabs a Deadly Foe
 to Houseflies.


 to Housefiies.
 To the naturalist or to any one ac- customed to observe nature closely the fact is apparent that the problems of existence are approximately the same in every form or stratum of life. Even the common housefy, which seemingly has nothing else to do but to crawl lazily oEer whatever is left uncovered and then go happily on Its way, doing its best to bring about an afiliation between the clean and the unclean, oc- casionally meets its Nemesis in the form of tiny crabhke creature which attaches itself to the hy's legs.
 These little creatures are known to the scientists as pseudo scorpions, or chelifers, says the Popular Science Monthly. They may sometimes be found between the leaves of old books that have stood unused for a long time and also beneath the bark of trees and In mosses.
 Although they are called false SCOT pions, they resemble the true scorpion closely in general structure except for their minute size. But they have no poison gland as the true scorpions have. They attach themselves to other insects also, but they seem to be the special pest of the housefies. Scien- lists suppose that they seize the fy's leg and hold on until the fly dies, either worried or frightened to death by the undesirable presence. When the fly is dead the little creature feeds on the bOdy

The White House.

A prize of $500 was offered in Wash ingtons administration for the best de sign for house to serve as home for the president in Washington. James Hoban, an Irishman from South Caro- lima, was the successful competitor. His sketch contained so many wings and colonnades that the public was horri- fled, and frills and gingerbread deeora- tions were eliminated. The result was the two story White House as we know 1t now. Washington laid the corner stone of the building in 1792. It was completed in 1799, the year of Wash ington's death.
