Black from Indian river.
There have been from sixty to seventy
men i:> the district this summer and 25
v. .11 \>.nter there. Sullivan struck good
pay i'n the upper end of Struke associa
tion, but after making a bedrock drain it
was found to be spotted, and Sullivan went
back to No. 7 and in the remaining five
weeks of the season, with four shovels, took
out SI.400. The last setting of the boxes
.-bowed that the pay set into the bench.
Happy Jack is doing well on 2 since the
rain, but the dry weather has retarded work
i'll the whole creek.
Smallwood and Jack Sullivan have a 1
drifting proposition on 3. The pay dips into j
bedrock two feet.

pers. but so far no pay.
Several holes have been put down with- |
out results on Harry fraction.

BERLIN AS A WOMEN’S PLACE
Beilin, Sept. 14. If the extraordinary
preponderance of the female population of
Berlin, as shown by figures formally pub
lished recently, continues to increase, the
German capital will be able to wrest from !
Paris the title of “the woman’s capital.” ,
In 1S71 there was a majority of 8,489 in |
the men’s favor, but today, in spite of a \
garrison of nearly 22,000 guardsmen, the j
women number 82 845 uiore than the men j
1.077,051, as against 994.20G. The num
ber of unmarried women of between -10
and 50 is half as large again as that of
the bachelors of the same age, and of sin
gle persons over 50. the number of “old
maids” is almost double that of the bach
elors.

FRENCH SOCIALIST
* WANTS EMPEROR
_
Paris, Sept. T4. A wonder has happened
—a French socclist has just told “nout
autres Francais” in full earnest that we
ought to throw over the republic and elect
a king.
The socialist, it is true, is merely M. Mar
ccl Sembat, who is a man of most bri liant
intelligence, and who is, therefore, like M.
Bernard Shaw in England, never taken se
riously by the real politicians of this coun
try, and his book will, it is supposed, be
considered merely a new whim of his ever
active brain. At the same time it cannot
be overlooked that Marcel Sembat is one
of hte leaders of the great party, anil hi.s
book contains a great many most serious
thoughts and truths, lie is full of genuine
despair at the weaknesses of his nation and
probably most of a'l because we, hi.s coun
trymen, are as hopelessly blind as^ ever to
our faults and firmly convinced that we
are the champions among all nations.
Marcel Sembat, who represents the
Eighteenth arrondissement of Paris in the
chamber, calls his book “Faites un roie.
sinen faites la pain," and here is an excerpt
from it:
“The French republic is and always will
be unable to defeat Germany in w'ar; it is
not even able to conduct an international
policy like the dynastic states of Germany.
The republic was not created to compete
with other European states in military and
naval strength, but was brought into ex
istence by its founders, the liberals, under
the empire, who thought that the era of
universal peace and international brother
hood was close at hand. When now, there
fore, it tries to compete with feudal soldier
states it must necessarily be left behind
For us Frenchmen, therefore, there is noth
ing left but either to elect a capable king
or come to a lasting peaceful arrangement
with Germany.”

LOVE DOCTOR’S FLAT
Results in Finding of Cards from Girls
Who Wanted Him to Restore
Lost Sweethearts
Pittsburg. Pa., Sept. 20.—When J. D.
Melbed, -14 years old, was arrested here in
his apartments at 311 Forty-fourth street,
his rooms were found strewn with letters
from girls and women pleading with him
to restore lost sweethearts or husbands.
The police say he has conducted a system
atic practice as a love doctor.
It was reported to the police that a
young woman was in his apartments until
midnight the other night, and that five
young women have been hypnotized by
him. He charged 50 cents for each “love ;
treatment.”
Two girls who were to appear against
him at a hearing in Central station here |
told an older woman about their experi
cnees. She said that she went to Melbed’s
apartments, that he attempted to hypno
tize and attack her, and that when she was
about to hurl a handful of red pepper in
his face he promised to leave town. He
did not leave and information was made
against him.
An incense having a peculiar odor was
found in the rooms. It is said to contain
a drug which assisted his hypnotic opera
tions. His letters show he had a large num
ber of clients. Among them are letters
from women in Wilkesbarre, Buffalo, Wil
mington and scores from women in Pitts
burg.
One picture of a man was found with
three pins sticking through the portion of
the picture where his heart would be. A
drawing of the same man was with the pic
ture, a heart sketched on the breast and
three pins in it.

Iditarod Meat Co. 1
THE UTEI
It is learned that instead of the steamer
Washburn wintering at St. Michael, the
vessel will remain on the Iditarod river for
late fall and early spring work, and has
been [ laced under the command of Captain
lack Worth.
Mercantile and marine business gener
ally took on a lively turn last Tuesday
morning when the staunch launch Yentna,
Captain Ben Bromberg, completed her first
round trip under command of that suc
cessful slow-water skipper. Captain Ben
made the trip in nine days, and feei3 satis
fied that he can boat that time if naviga
tion will only keep open long enough for
him to get in practice.
The Teddy H. reached this city at noon
Tuesday with a big barge of freight. This
is the first visit of ths boat since the open
ing of navigation this spring.
The flagship Pup, Captain Henderson,
reached port Tuesday evening about 6
o'clock. The cargo consisted principally of I
Riley & Marsten’s dredge material.
The launch Yentna, Captain Bromberg,
made a rather sensational getaway for
Dikeman last Wednesday morning. While
turning in the stream at the foot of Rich
mond street the skipper, who was helping
things along with a lengthy pike pole, lost
that valuable instrument of river naviga
tion and the Yentna's barge almost drove
a small boat under the bow of Crowley &
Porter's scow. It was the coel-headedne3s
and good seamanship exhibited at a critical
moment by the gallant captain that averted
further catastrophe.
On the steamship Victoria, which was in
the roadstead at Nome during the tidal wire
last Monday were, it is believed, quit/ a
number of Iditarod people who had left
(his city on Saturday, September 27. Among
them were Senator Henry Roden. Dr. Hein
rich Wortwann, Frank E. Snyder, Henry
Boas, Morris Friedmann and Dave Krom.
Launch Keystone, Captain Ulysses G.
Norton, reached port Thursday morning j
with about 75 tons.
The launch Mosquito, with Ed Uhl as ;
skipper and Mike Maher as purser, sta/fed
yesterday morning for St. Michael. Sb'e|
will probably be the last vessel to
here this season. It is their intention tc£|
connect with the steamship Norhwestern
for the States. There were about ten pas
sengers aboard, among them being Doc
Mailing, J. W. Emery and Harry Harmon. |
Mr. Harmon is going to the scene of the
reported new strike on the lower \ ukon,
in the vicinity of Andreaofski.

and is likely to be delayed a week.
With a fine stage of water in the Iditarod
river, the days rapidly getting shorter and
the night breezes becoming more and more
frigid, the “gasoline kids” are certainly get
ting a two bit move on themselves these
gclden autumn days. During the past 10
days freight has been handled at a pretty
lively rate.
The Orphan Boy reached port at 8
o’clock last night, and the Nancy Bell came
in at 1 this morning with mail. The
Prairie Be.'l landed at 9 o’clock this morn
ing with four passengers—Mr. and Mrs.
Manuel Gularte, Mrs. Ray D. Clark and

The good ship Little Delta, Captain Cy
Atwell, came in a few minutes after 9 this
morning with two barges containing many
of the heavy pieces of Riley & Marston’s
dredge.

to Be Established at Bryn
Mawr College
Philadelphia, Sept. 20.—Bryn Mayr col
1 ge is about to establish the day of the
uper woman, and when the college opens
this fall the Phoebe Ann Thorne open-air
model school for girls will give the stu
’tfcnt's the first chance that has ever been
given:* by an *. educational institution in
America for instruction that will tend to
make girls physically perfect above every
thing else.
Among the things that these little girls
are to learn to make them physical'y per
fect and beautiful are “Jacquez-Dalcroze
Eurythemics.” A graduate of the Jacquez
Daloroze college at Hellerau, Germany, will
come here to train the-e girls in perfcedi
body movements.
The school will be housed in seven square
one-story class rooms, constructed of wood
and glass. There they will live in the wiigj|
ter, bundled in furs and warm clot hi nS^
These 29 girls will never breathe the air <iS
the class room, except where they are*
housed, and the four sides are so arranged
as to be let down in pleasant weather. In
cold weather they are to he clothed in
Eskimo suits. Their hours in the class
room will be from 9 till 3:30, and after
that they will spend all thei time in the
air.
