The men of the Mitchell family
seem to have been erratic but not
remarkably so in any panic-j

a comfortable home, a reputable Uns

Dean Swift's fictitious traveler.Gulli

breeding, married to a prince and
statesman of the realm, a man of ex
traordinary physical, mental and mor

legged beggar, who beat her every
day. Her husband reclaimed and for
gave her but at the first opportunity
she ran away again and rejoined the
beggar.

ver, "merely to show that the caprices
of womankind are not limited by any
country or any clime.”

CHINESE WORRY TRANSVAAL
The ITansvaul is worried over the
Chines*' problem because certain in
fluences are seeking to drive out Chi
nese lalnir and the mine owners want
to retain it. The British cabinet has;
forbidden the further importation of
Chinese until next March, when the
Transvaal will be given self-govern
ment, and recently issued a proclama
tion offering assistance to all Chinese
who might wish to return to their na
; tive land. Very few of the coolies
accepted the offer, showing that the
Chinese are satisfied to stay, and that
they must be deported forcibly, if at
all.'
The mine owners and shopkeepers of
the Transvaal want to keep the Chi
nese in the country. Its prosperity is
w holly dependent upon the mining in-!
dustry and the attempt to supplant
Chinese labor may result in temporary
loss to the “business interests" of the
. colony. What they are interested in
- the immediate prosperity of tin*
Kami. British statesmen are trying!
tot mu'ato a policy which "ill con
duce to high 't* civilisation and endur

The result is a condition verging on i

STUDYING ALASKA FISH
U. S. Commissioner Investigating
Along Western Coast.
For the purpose of gathering species
of fi-h, sea fowl and other inhabitants
of the waters of Alaska, and also with
a view to studying the conditions of
the iish supply along the east coast of
Japan, tin* United States fish commis
sioner's boat Albatross is now in
northern waters.
The vessel first called at Unalaska
and from there will proceed to the
Kurile islands, oil’ the Kamchatka
coast. From there the steamer will
cruise along Sakhalin island, north of
Japan, later sailing southwaid along
the east of the islands, thence return
ing to San Francisco. The steamer is
expected to he gone about eight or
nine months.
The Kurile islands lie 1,100 miles to
the westward of Unalaska. During
the past few years the Japanese fisher
men have sought the grounds bringing
large cargoes to the markets of Japan.
Fish packers look for the Albatross to
pick up certain specimens of codfish
while working in the north. As far as
has been learned the codfish now
brought from the Bering sea hanks is
equal and even superior to that caught
off the Grand hanks on the Atlantic
coast. Certain fishermen state a be
lief that even a better grade of fish
exists further north and west.

Arrivals on the Toledo, including
(apt. Blodgett and Dr. McMasters,

gone up the creek and a few have
come out reporting that colors are
found in the gravel as they can he
everywhere in that region, but noth
ing like a hi<r find has been located
yet. __
