Details of the accidental death last Sunday forenoon of Shift Boss Esq Makela in the shaft of the Chichago Mining Company on Chi chagof Island were received in Ju- neau last evening on the motor ship Estebeth, which brought the remains of the unfortunate man to this city.

 When the fatal mishap occurred, MT. Makela was on top of tagging that he was taking in a bucket LID the shaft from the 1,500-foot level to the 1 ,400-foot level. No one else was on the bucket. The tagging presumably shifted and he was caught between it and the wall of i the shaft.
 Detecting unusual friction, the hoist engineer in the shaft house stopped the bucket He then sigma led whether to lower or hoist. Re ceiving no response, he looked dowr the shaft. He could discern a light

STATE LIVESTOCK VALUES
Value This Year About Twenty.
Four Percent Lower Than Last

The total value of all kinds of
livestock on Delaware farms on
January 1, 1882, was estimated at
$4,492,000, according to Richard C.
Ross, Federal agricultural Stats
tician for Delaware. The value
this year is about "a per cent low
er than the value on the first of
last year and about 40 per cent
of the value estimated on January
1, 1880. The lower values this
year are due almost entirely to
lower values per head for all kinds
of livestock. Milk cows were
worth only about $500 per head
this year, as compared with $4,000
per head last year, and $1,000 per
head on January 1, 1880. Values
per head of other livestock de-
clined in about the, same ratio. The
actual number of livestock have
changed very little in the past two
years. The number of all cattle
remains unchanged since year
ago, but is 1000 head lower than
it was two years ago. Horse num-
bers have declined 1000 head in
the past two years, and swine have
decreased by about 5000 in the
same period. The population of
mules and sheep has remained
practically unchanged during the
two years. Cattle represent about
half the total value of all livestock
on January 1, this year, and milk
cows alone represent about ~ per
cent of the total value. The value
of horses and mules together is

Painful ''Dengue Fever"
Is Traced to Mosquito

Dengue fever, the extremely pain
full but seldom fatal malady that
breaks cut in epidemics along the
eastern Mediterranean and in the
East Indies, is spread by the same
mosquito that carries yellow fever.
Dengue fever itself appears to es-
tablish an immunity against yellow
fever and may be a guard set up
by nature across the line by which
the latter might penetrate Europe
and Asia.
These are the findings from re
cent experiments of the Dutch Insti-
tute of Tropical Medicine at Am
sterdam. Fourteen volunteers allowed
themselves to be bitten by mosqui-
toes which fed on Dengue patients.
All fell sick with the same malady.
Then monkeys were infected with
Dengue fever It is much more ia
tai among them than among hui
mans. Those that recovered were
given injections of yellow fever.
Only % per cent died. Ordinarily.
yellow fever causes a 80 per cent
mortality rate among monkeys.
These experiments have greatly
lessened the fear of a yellow fever
outbreak in the Dutch East Indies,
where Dengue is an almost univer
sal experience.

"Prodigal Son" Parable
Marvellous Short Story

The short story has always ex-
listed, though it was not until the
Nineteenth century that the art of
writing it was consciously prac-
ticed. AS Sophocles said Of
Aeschylus, these early authors of
short stories did the right thing
without knowing why. 1t was only
on rare occasions, however, that
these happy accidents occurred.
Thus Professor Baldwin, after an
exhaustive examination of the 100
tales in Boccaccio's "Decameron,"
decided that only two of them are
short stories in the modern critical
sense, while three others approach
the totality of impression which is
the result of conscious unity in ex-
preston. The New Testament con-
tains a short story which is a struc-
tural masterpiece The parable of
the "Prodigal Son." which is only
500 words long in the authorized
version, satisfies the modern defini-
ton, securing the greatest emphasis
possible with a surprising economy
of means. In America the short
story had its beginning in the
sketch Book" of Washington Irv-
ing.

Chinese as Laundrymen

In the days of the California gold
rush everybody was so busy dig
ging for gold that the homelier
household chores were neglected.
With gold reckoning, no one was
willing to work at plain jobs. There
was no land communication with
the East. but ships were constantly
plying to China. The forty-niners
acquired the habit of sending their
washing to China, getting it back in
two or three months. This showed
the Chinese that there was a bust
ness opportunity in this country.

What strikes one first" wrote the

originality and expressiveness of the

Clearly the artist has not spared his

Adam and Eve, driven from the gar
den by the wrath of God, are covering
beaten to the earth under the lightning
of the wrath. This design, which is in

quality of Epstein's best work.

exciting conjunction of a round and
