Philadelphia With *he returning

golden behive of industry.
Employes w ho had been laid ofi‘ have
been receiving noiitlcation to resume
their posts, anti now a full force is at
work, aggregating about <m0 persons.
It was stated at the mint that this
renewal of activity was due to fresh
orders from Washington for immediate
coinage. Leading these orders was
one for $10,U00.01H) in $20 gold coins.
This, it was said, would probably be
followed by still another order for the
same pieces. In addition there will be
a heavy coinage of silver and copper.

CALE PLEADS
FOR HOME RULE
Alaska’s Delegate Stands by His
Bill but Meets With Op
position From Governor.
.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Washington, 1). C., April 4 Dole
gate Thomas Cale was before the com
mittee on Territorial Government and
put up a strong plea for his bill on
Home Rule in Alaska, hut met with
much opposition from Governor Hog
; gatt who s|K>ke against the bill.
From a Southern Standpoint
Prof. C. Alphonso Smith of the Cni
i versity of North Carolina, was speak
ing at a public dinner in New York
recently and telling of an English
grammar that he had prepared. W hen
the work was almost finished, he said,
he got a letter from a Tennesseean
who congratulated him on the forth
coming book, because he was proud to
say that at length there would be an
English grammar written from a
strictly Southern standpoint.
That reminded Prof. Smith of the
arithmetic written from a strictly
Southern standpoint that the wartime
youth studied. The examples in it
used to go something like this: “If
one Confederate soldier can whip four
Yankees how many Yankees can live
Confederate soldiers whip?”
Charity Wood Yard
At No. 5lf> West Twenty-eighth
street, New York, hundreds of men,
old and young, men willing to work,
but who are unable to obtain employ
ment because of the unsettled condi
tion of business, line up outside the
yard every morning at 7 o’clock ready
I to start.
The buzzing of saws and the swing
ing of axes goon merrily until 10 at
night without intermission. As soon
as one man finishes his work his place
is taken by another, who has been
waiting anxiously on the line, some
times for hours. Owing to the limited
space only forty can work at one time,
but they all know there are many oth
i ers to come after them and every one
works with a will. There are no
shirkers among them.—The World.

Burned The Tobacco
Brooksville, Ky.—Fifty or more
night riders came into town in bug
gies and on horseback and before they
left 15,000 pounds of tobacco, belong
ing to Robert Stenton, one of the
wealthiest planters in this section,
bad been burned. The men were
heavily armed with shotguns and re
volver?..
A number of the men went to the
local exchange of the Braeken County
Telephone Company and kept guard
over tiie operator. Mis? Holton, so that
no word could he sent for assistance.
The men attempted no violance, nor
did they destroy the warehouse, but
took the tobacco outside and s**t it on
lire. After seeing that it was all de
stroyed, they departed as quietly as
they came.
Short on Food in Cuba
A recent investigation by the gov
ernment shows that there is a critical
condition among many people in the
remote southwestern portions of the
inland. A short tobacco crop has
caused the discharge of many men.
This lias resulted in a shortage of
money and lack of food.
Jews and Chess Championship
From the Jewish Chronicle:—The
chess championship has been retained
in Jewish hands for the last forty-two
years. Steintz held it for twenty-eight
years till IS!4, and Lasker has been
• champion ever since. Dr. Lasker at
tributes this predominance of the Jew
ish genius in chess to the fact that its
rules are based entirely upon those of
self-defense in the struggle of life, and
; the Jews are adepts in this art.

For Alaska’s Schools

has asked congress that the appropri
ation of $200,000 for Alaska’s schools
be increased to $250,000, declaring that
nothing less than that sum will begin
to pay for the work now’ in hand, and
which is urgently needed in the terri

An Alaska Trip
Tho Seattle Magazine gives the fol
lowing description of Alaskan scenery:
“Sailing out of the harbor of Seattle
on a summer’s day, bound for Alaska,
the tourist gets the thrill of adventure
that is delightful, the tingling sense of
wonderful new lands to be discovered.
For a thousand miles the steamer
plows the inland seas and never an
hour but some surprising new scene
awakens our exclamations. No words
can describe the grandeur of the moun
tains, the stillness of the seas. Deep
fiords and wide valleys, where no evi
dences of human habitation are to be
seen, put into the inside passage. The
solitude, the beauty, the wealth of for
ests and minerals, are so inviting that
you will find yourself longing to stop
and explore along the green and silent
shores.”
Passing on over much of the route
the article further states:
“About half way between Fort Gib
bon and Fairbanks we come to Baker
creek and may stop olT to visit the
Manley Hot Springs; a tropical oasis
in the Arctic wilderness; the pride
and delight of the Tatiana valley as a
pleasure and health resort. It is the
headquarters of a large hydraulic min
ing enterprise, all owned and control
led by Mr. Frank Manley, one of the
largest operators of the Tanana, who
has made it most attractive, fitted it
with bath-houses, a magnificent hotel,
residences and every imaginable con
venience. He has a regular farm,
where nothing is wanting. The Man
ley resort is tin* most unique of nor
thern attractions.”
China’s Steel Plant
Anyone with the usual Occidental
conception of the Chinese may have a
little difficulty in believing that they
make steel in China, using their own
ore. their own coal and coke and Chi
nese labor exclusizely. All this
sounds as if the Chinese were really
up to date and realized, like other
folks, that the present is an age of
steel. Hut on the other hand there is
today practically only on-> steel plant
in the great Chinese Umpire.
This solitary steel plant has been in
operation since 1^04. but its output has
been increased so little in the fourteen
years since that today about the most
it can do is to turn out .>0,000 tons of
steel yearly. When this ’is compared
with the 23,000.000 tons produced in a
year in this country some idea may be
gained of how far the Chinese really
are behind the present age in steel
making as in other things.—The Sun.
Revolution in India
London—The British government
has realized that a crisis is imminent
in India which calls for something
more than mere punitive expeditions
against frontier rebels.
Cumulative advices from authentic
sources show that revolution is ready
to break out at a dozen points through
out the great Indian empire. Lnrest
and sedition are ripe, and lawlessness
every day becomes more difficult to
suppress.
The latest move made by the British
government was the sending of Gen.
Sir James Wilcox at the head of a pun
itive expedition against the Zakkak
hels.
We have founded an institution in
which the people can deposit their
money with a feeling of the utmost
confidence and safety.
