Seattle, July 31.— Anfel Langley, known in every mining camp
in Alaska as “Biddy Doyle,” died here today, following months of
suffering from elephantitis, a disease which baffles the medical pro
fession and is distinguished by the swelling of the lower limbs to
an astounding size.
Langley was for the past five years stage-door keeper at the
Orpheum theater, who was widely known among the [theatrical
profession for his cheerful disposition. His services were also in
demand for old-time square dances, having for years been a dance
hall caller, serving part of this time in Alaska.

Strike To 80 On To Bitter End
Philadelphia, August.—Two of the
strongest, unions involved the strike'
against the Baldwin locomotive plant
of this city, the machinists and the;
boiler makers, have voted unanimously '
to carry on the strike for the recog-,
nition of the unions to the bitter end,
notwithstanding the uncompromising I
attitude announced by the company to'
the effect that no one would bo em
ployed in future except he should sign
a pledge never to join any labor union.
This action by the company has been
taken up by union leaders in many
crafts as a challenge that should not
be ignored by organized labor. This
has given rise to talk of a sympathy
strike in other industries. Financial
aid has come from the American
federation of labor.
Kansas Corn
William Allen White, the Kansas
litterateur, praised, at a picnic in Em
poria, the fertility of his native state.
“It was a Kansas boy, you know,”
said Dr. White, “who tried to climb a
cornstalk the other day to see how the
corn was getting- on. Unfortunately
the stalk is growing faster than the
boy can climb, and he is now out of
sight.
“A lot of neighbors with axes have
been trying to cut the stalk down, but
it grows so fast they can't strike it
twice in the same place.
“Tt was feared for a while that the
boy would starve to death, but I am
happy to say that over the private wire
in my office we have got news to the
effect that the little chap has already
thrown down live bushels of cobs;
whence one may infer that his diet,
though monotonous, is adequate.”—

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH
The village smithy still is found
beneath the chestnut ttee, but from
it comes no clanging sound of ham
mer swinging free ; the villagers
have gathered round to see what
they may see. The smith, he is a
man of might, of large and sinewy
frame: and from his plug he takes
a bite, and starts in to declaim:
“Well, boys, it really was a sight,
the way we won that. game. We
had a man on every base when I
stepped up to bat. ; the pitcher’s
curves were hard to trace—he
knows where he is at—but I just
looked him in the face, and knock
ed the blamed ball flat. Well,
stranger, what is that you say?
Your horse is needing shoes? Oh,
take your cheap old plug away; you
give a man the blues; I am too busy
here today to shoe old kangaroos.
Yes, boys,that hit brought in them
all, and struck the bleachers dumb
I really thought that pitcher'd fall—
it knocked him out of plumb Oh,
when it comes to playing ball your
uncle’s going some!" The farmers
seek the smithy door to have their
plowshares ground; they make the
worthy blacksmith sore — they
should be in the pound; they inter
rupt him o’er and o’er and get his
nerves unwound.—Walt Mason,

Balloon Burns;
Occupants Escape
Topeka, Kansas, August 5 - Two men, one an involuntary pas
senger, had narrow escape when they fell from a burning balloon here
today.
As Bert Curry, a Kansas aviator, was lising in his hot air balloon,
Walter Taylor, a spectator, became entangled in one of the ropes ol
the balloon and was jerked aloft.
As the balloon arose, it was seen that the gas bag was on fire and
that the flames were rapidly devouring the fabric.
The balloon continued to rise until it reached the height of over a
thousand feet, then collapsed and fell. By a miraculous chance the
men were over some trees through one of which they fell to the ground.
Both men were badly shaken and scratched, but otherwise quite
unhurt. The balloon was a total loss.
Well-known Yukon
Physician Retires
Dr. Pare, well-known to old Yukoners as physician to the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police at Whitehorse, has resigned from the force.
Dr. Pare will go first to Montreal for a short visit. Where he will
locate finally is not definitely known, but as he has several sons and
daughters in the Northwest he will probably settle in that section.
Dr. Pare has been physician at Whitehorse tor over ten years. It
is stated that no successor will be appointed. This will leave the town
of Whitehorse and vicinity dependent on the private practitioner there.
Dr. Clarke.
Major Snyder has been transferred from Dawson to Iidmonlon,
and has left the Yukon to take up his new appointment.
Keeper Tells e Fishy Story
Greeley, Colo., July 31.—That fishes
have affection and show it, and that
they can be tamed, is evident from the
experiments of Keeper Thomson of the
Estes Park fish hatchery, who has a
rainbow speckled trout which he shows
to visitors as a most typical specimen
of that kind. The fish was put in the
trough at the hatchery four years ago
and now is so tame that it answers its
name, comes swimming to its master,
and lies quietly in his hands when out
of water. Thomson says the fish is so
tame and friendly that he fears it will
jump out of the water some time and
follow him about the hatchery.
