ington-new, at least, in the contra
diction Of some Of the generally ac-
cepted details Of that great Ameri-
can tragedy-has just appeared.
Among the things accepted and
vouched for by historians and incor-
porated in plays, movies and books
that have been compiled with pains
taking care for small, but dramatic,
details, which are pushed aside by
this new version are the statements
that Laura Keene was on the stage
at the time Of the shooting, and that
Booth after the murder defantly
faced the audience and shouted "Sic
semper tyrannis," before he hob
bled off the stage.
And to give the new version veri-
similitude, it's author declares that
he and he alone was the only actual
eyewitness Of the Staying Of the
Great Emancipator.
w. j. Ferguson, the veteran actor,
now seventy-seven years old, who
was d call boy at Ford's Theater
when Lincoln was killed, gave his
story Of the killing recently in an
address at the Green Room Club, at
q reception rendered him by that or
ganization Of players. 1t was, he
said, the first time he had ever pub
licly discussed the details Of the event

| the autocratic soap is packed in a
cardboard box. To a customer who
hesitated at the price the clerk said
that it was all right-that there
were enough buyers to take all that
kind Of soap they could obtain.
On Broadway, between Forty-ffth
and Forty-sixth streets, a confec-
tionery store sells salted nuts at
$3.50 pound. The manager Of the
place said he fills anew a generous
sized section of the showcases daily.
The big buying fever runs also to
living quarters. While the East Side
and other poorer sections are stud
dcd with empty flats, there is
frenzied rush for anything vacant
in the so-called best sections.
And Then-Rent
A recently married young man,
living with his bride at his parents
home, was telephoned to by a real
estate agent last week to the effect
that an apartment on 103d Street,
slightly off Broadway, was vacant
and could be had for $4,000 a year.
The young man and his bride ate
their breakfast slowly, as young
men and their brides do. Then they
went, less than a mile, to the re-
ported empty premises. They were
told by the superintendent that six
people had called in the last half
hour and that the first of the six
had taken the place. They called up
the agent. He said, curtly, that the
next time he told them of a vacant
apartment they should go there
quickly and stand not on the order
of their going.
There are undoubtedly many who
aren't connected with the heavy buy
ing game, and they are wondering
where the players get the money.
Some get along without it, though.
A man over in Brooklyn who
bought his wife an $85,00O coat last
week probably was we'll kissed for Il.

in Brooklyn got just as we'll kissed

He illustrated, by way Of emphasis
and advertisement, the demand for
his cars by saying that he sold a
Rolls-R Royce recently for $4,000
and it was a used car of a model
now five years old!
Labor Saving Devices
The demand for luxuries is not
confined by any means to vehicles
or the boudoir, an interview with
Arthur Williams, general CONNER
cial manager of the New York Edi-
son Company, revealed. He re-
ported that the numerous labor
saving electrical devices which in
previous years were regarded with
passing, but not buying, interest
have been swept into thousands. of
homes by the wave Of prosperity.
The night before Christmas found
marked emptiness in the show
rooms for devices at 13O East Fif-
teenth Street.

fed. He could scarcely remember
customers who had refused the
grapes when told of the price, nor
could he recall single swooning. A
few young men, accompanied by
young women, had turned slightly
pale, he declared, but most of the
customers hadn't paid any more at
tention to the price than if he had
said 20 cents a pound.
He brought out a neat basket Of
about six assorted pieces of fruit.

NATIVE cASTAWAYS UNDERGO
 DIRE EXPERIENCES

To be cast away on Il floating ice cake for fifteen days. with little shell ter and only such food as they wers able to win from the frozen sea, was the severe and dangerous experience of three Yukon river natives who ar rived in Nome shortly before mid- night Friday. The natives. known as Captain Jack. Peteka and George. left their home at the mouth of the Yukon February 20 bound on q sealing trip along the edge of the ice pack. They were equipped with tent. kyack. sled and five dogs. in addition to their rifles. of which they carried three. They intended to remain on the ice one night and return to their homes the following day. Fate took hand in the game however and during the night while they were asleep the wind arose and cracked off the section of ice on which they were camped.
 When they discovered their plight the ice cake was far beyond sight of land and drifting rapidly. As the foe remained intact. they did not move and remained on the drifting ice sheet un- March ?. subsisting as best they could and suffering severely from tie cold winds. especially during the nights On March , they discerned high land nor Invest of their position and decid cd to make for it With the aid of tho kyack they manag ged to reach the solid shore ice and found themselves opl osite Nome. Following their ar rival here the trio went to a native house and spent the night. Today they appeared at the Coast Guard station and applied to Capt. Thos. Ross for assistance. The natives referred to their experience with stoical indiffer- ences to the hardships and suffering involved, merely stating that they had Il hard time during the nights to keep warm.
 Capt Ross Is looking after them until proper arrangements can be made for their return home to their wives and children. who have probably given them up for lost.

THE PRICE OF NEWSPAPERS

The Cordova Times intimates that | may have to raise it's subscription price. The Anchorage Times and the Seward Gateway recently raised their rates, In doing this they are doing only what the papers of the large cities have been forced to do. Before the War the Seattle Times delivered the paper for 50 cents month or s a year. At that time, on account of their greater proportional expense and smaller editions. the Alaska papers were charging s1 a month or sl0 a year. Now the Seattle Times is sold for $l.50 a month or SIS a year. The proportional expense and smaller edi- tions still operate against the Alaska papers as they did before the war. Most of the metropolitan papers have increased their subscription rates from loo to 800 or 400 per cent. The Alas ka papers which have raised at all have done so only a per cent.-Ju- neau Empire.
