WICKERSHAM RETUBN3
TO REPUBLICAN FOLD
,\ telegram from Fairbanks says:
James Wickersham, the delegate to
congress from Alaska, who was elected
as a Progressive Democrat at the last
election, was a Bull Mooser the elec
tion previous, an Independent Repub
lican prior to that, and an old guard
republican as long ns he could hold
a political job. announced himself ns
a republican today and says he is
with the party again because it has
been purged of all bad men.
'Die announcement did not come as
■i surprise to politicians in this sec
tion as Wickersham has been looking
Cor a chance to jump back into the
republican ranks.
The regular republicans are sure to
make a tight to keep him and his
followers, who enter every political
primary in the territory to capture it
for him, securing control of the or
ganization. It is understood hero
that Wickersham has no standing in
Washington with tho republiention
and that the members of the Pacif
ic coast congressional delegations all
listrnst him and will no longer aid
him in his efforts to build lip a pol
itical machine in the north.
Wickersham is classed as a Demo
crat in the last division of congress,
and in writing his biography for the
congressional directory failed to an
nounce himself as a member of any
party_Cordova Daily Times.

SHIP CREEK A CITY OF TENTS
A canvas city of over -150 tents
now stands at Ship Creek where the
first mile of rails has already been
laid by Lieutenant Hears, of the en
gineering commission. In addition
to the tents there are some seventy
log and frame buildings. Included in
the business houses are six restaurants,
i billiard hall, two laundries, three
barber shops and one jewelry store.
Lieutenant Hears immediately on ar
rival started to lay the track for
work trains, and one mile of them has
been placed in position. Hiss Babe
White, who was born in this divis
ion, drove the first spike of the rail
road and had the spike presented to
her by Hr. Hears as a souvenir of
i the memorable occasion. The track
I is laid from the bench. The maohin

CHARLTON TRIAL NOT BEFORE
AUTUMN
Rome,—Although next July will
mark the lapse of five years since
Portor ('Imrlton was arrested on the
charge of murdering his wife in Italy
Ihe case, it is learned, will not come
lo trial before autumn, if then.
His counsel, Avvocato Catapnno, re
cently discussing the present delay,
raid:
“There we two reasons for the de
lay, the examination of the witnesses
in America, and the observations
which are being taken of the prison
er’s mental condition, at the asylum
for the insane at Como.
“As Charlton had not the means- to
bring over any of his witnesses for
the trial they all had to have their
testimony taken at home, which was
i complicated process conducted
through the departments of justice
and foreign affairs, both Ttnlinn and
American. If that had not been done
there would have been the probability
of his being judged at the assizes
without one witness for the defense
present.
“Instead, the testimony of the 14
witnesses in the United States will be
-end, the testimony being of great iiv
portance. given the defense assumed,
which it the total irresponsibility of
the accused. The investigations can
not be dosed, and therefore be made
nublie until tho experiments to es
tablish whether Charlton is insane
have been given in May. Thus in
June, or at the latest in July, the de
cision will be given out, so that the
trial can come on in the early aut
umn.’’ Avvocato Catapano, however,
said that this was not, at all sure, ns
should Italy be at war the trial would
scarcely take place.

OLD TIME PRICES.
Cost of Living In the Early Years of
the Last Century.
A subscriber living in Pennsylvania
Uao smt us au account of a daybook
kept in 1814 by one of his forbears,
tbe keeper of a general store in Amity
township, Berks county. From this
daybook one catches a glimpse not only
of what 100 years ago it cost the Penn
sylvania citizen to live, but also a
glimpse of how he lived. For instance,
“with nearly every bill of goods charg
ed would be attached one gallon of
whisky, rum or brandy, price 25 cents.”
Homes were lighted with caudles,
“costing anywhere from 37% cents to
87% cents a pound."
“Calico was 37% cents to 75 cents per
yard.
"Tea was $1 a pound.
■ “In one charge a man bought one
quarter of veal at 4 cents a pound.
“Eggs were never more than 10 cents
per dozen, with 0 to 8 cents the com
moner prices.
“Chickens, 12% to 18 cents apiece;
geese, 25 cents to 37% cents apiece.
“Beef. 3 to 4 cents; wool, 10 cents to
12% cents per pound; muslin, 50 cents
per yard.
“The climax was reached in one
charge—one bushel of salt, $1G."
We seem to have boxed the compass
in the matter of the costs of living.
One hundred years ago it was manu
factured goods nnd commodities
against which transportation costs
were charged which were high, food
was cheap. Today factory products are
cheap, food dear. We wonder if things
will ever be so comfortably arranged
that food nnd manufactured goods and
commodities from far distances will
all be cheap.—Toledo JUade.
