TWENTY-ONE LITTLE BODIES
PLACED IN ONE GRAVE,
New York, Dec. 27.—All that remain.
ed of the twenty-one little victims of the
fire of the St. John’s Male Orphan Home
in Brooklyn was laid in its last restiog
place yesterday morning. Nine o'clock
was the hour get for the funeral services
at the Church of Our Lady of Victory
(Father Creighton’s,) but notwithstand-
ing the early hour and the inaccessible
locality of the church, every seat in the
stone edifice was occupied and all the
standing room was utilized. The char
red remains of the victims had been
placed in three full-sized coffins for
adults. Frank Harper, the undertaker,
who has for a long time burried the or-
phans of the institution free of charge,
also had ebarge of the interment yester-
day. The coffins were of rose-wood,
with heavy silver trimmings and han-
dles, and each bore a silver plate on ita
lid, the inscription on which was as fol-
: Remains Found in the Bulus of
: #t. John's Home,
Destroyed by Fire
Dec. 18, 1884,
Each coffin contained as near as could
be distinguished, the remnants of seven
of the victims. A large crowd of men,
women and children bad gathered about
the burned home in anticipation of ob-
taining a glimpse of the bodies as they
were transferred to the three heareses,
and when they saw their disappoint~
ment, slowly left the scene, some of them
going direct to the church.
The body of the church was already
well filled when the coflins were carried
in and deposited on three black-covered
catafalques in front of the altar. One
was placed in a straight line with the
centre aisle, with the feet towards the
door, while the others were placed at the
head of either sideaisle, the feet converg-
ing at an angle towards the middle aisle.
Half a dozen candles burned at the head
of each coffin, and candelabraat the feet.
The altar was draped in mourning, and
on the back wall of the church black
and white folds were in keeping with
the sorrow of those who sat or xuelt in
the front pews. Other than this there
was no indication of the deep solemnity
of tb2 occasion, There were no follows
ers of twigs of green, and the ceremonies
were without ostentation or ehow.
GET RID OF MISERY.
What is the use of suffering from dys-
pepsia, nervous prostration or debility,
when Brown's Iron Bitters will tone you
up and cast these horrors out? There is
joy in every bottle of this valuable tonic.
It makes bad blood good, and bids dismal
people be cheerful, it bringsgood cheer,
to the dinner table, and makes the fami-
ly happy. It drives away the blues, and
helps ,you enjoy a hearty laugh. And
all the respectable druggists keep it.

MONEY TO BE MADE,
It is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the great publishing
house of George Stinson & Co., of Port-
land, Maine. The reason of this excep-
tional success is found in the fact that
they always give the public that which
is keenly appreciated and at prices that
all can afford. At present we understand
their agents are doing wonderfully well
on several new lines, They need many
more agents in all parts of the country.
Those who peed profitable work should
apply at once. Women do as well as
men, Experience is not necessary, for
Messrs, Sunson & Co. undertake toshow
all who are willing to work, not hard but
earnestly, the path to large success, It
should be remembered that an agent can
do a handsome business without being
away from home over night. Another
advantage—it costs nothing to give the
business a trial, and an ageat can devote
all his time, or only his spare time to it,
Stinson & Co, guarantee grand success to
sll who engage and follow simple and
plain directions that they give. We
have not space to explain all bere, bat
full particulars will be pent free to those
who address the firm ; their full address
is given above,

EARTHQUAKE IN SPAIN,
Madrid, Dec. 28,~Official reports show
that 266 persons were killed in the pro-
vinces of Malaga and Granada by the re
cent earthquake. The population of
Granada sre still encamped in the
squares and the richer classes are lodg-
ing in carriages along the promenade,
Tue facade of the cathedral was serious-
ly damaged by the shock, Many houses
were destroyed in Jimena and a whole
family was killed in the village of Cijar
by the falling of a chimney,
Over half of the inhabitants of Abun~
ueclai were killed. Athama is mostly in
ruins. The province of Malaga suflered
equally as much damage as did Granada,
Commerce is paralized, Two hundred
houses at Aflarnetejo were damaged.
The ¢ is subsiding, The shock was
not felt in the northern and northwest-
ern provinces. The government has
granted $1,000 from the national calami-
sy fund for the relief of sufferers in the
province of Canada.

RA ——
JOLD AND OTHER ORES IN ALASKA.
a
Recent explorations in Northern and
Central Alaska have revealed bodies of
ore, but in such remote regions as to be
unavailable. The few claims near Sitks
have proved of but little value. None
of the ore exists in large pockets, It is
scattered and rather of low grade. It may
be said that no properties will pay being
worked when there is not at best a great
abundance of ore. The Treadwell mine
is valuable only because there is so much
quartz. A ton of it will not yield any
considerable amount of gold, but there
are millions of tons Mines must also
be near the coast to pay, unless they are
unusually rich. Alaska is not an easy
country to travel over and the cost of
transportation is an important item to
be considered. Every section of the
country has its upholders, but sifting
facts from theories, the truth seems to
be that the paying mineral must be on
or near Douglas Island. Owing to the
abundance of moss and forests, Alaska
is an extremely difficult country to pros.
pect. There are nosurface indications
and leads can only be discovered by
first finding float ore and then labori-
ously tracing up the streams to find the
main body. Every mine so far dis
covered has been found in this manner.
It is absolutely useless trying to find
outcroppings by pursuing the methods
adopted in Colorado and other barren
countries,
Alaska’s other natural riches are cop-
per, marble, coal and silver. Coal has
been found in many places, but usoally
too far inland to pay for shipment, Mar-
ble quarries are more or less abundant,
but donot seem to contain large blocks.
Copper is found principally in the re.
gion that is penetrated by the Chileat
River. Many of the native household
implements and pipes contain copper
rims and ends, and the Indians claim
that they know of large copper mines
Bo far, however, no valuable properties
bave been found, though there is un-
doubtedly a large quantity of the metal
in the country. Silver has been found
in the far north, but no mines have been
discovered that are valuable enough to
pay for working.
A just conclusion then seems to be
that our Northwestern Territory has yet
no claim for prominence as a mineral
country. That it contains many indi.
cations of having large bodies of ore
must be admitted, and we will acknowl.
edge that development has been retard.
ed by the presence of foresis and the ab.
sence of proper laws by which titles
could be had to lands Dat still the
only tangible evidence is in the Juneau
properties, and they are too untried to
warrant conclusions being drawn.
Judging from the past, it will be years
before Alaska ean hope for fame created
by its mines. What the future will
prove remains to be seen,

GOOSE COURTSHIP IN CANADA,
s——
It is extremely amusing to witness the
courtship of the Canada goose in all ila
stages, and let me assure you, reader,
that although a gander does not strut
before his beloved with the pomposity
of a furkey or the grace of a dove his
ways are quite as agreeable to the female
of his choice. I can imagine before me
one who has just accomplished the de.
feat of another male after a struggle of
half an hour or more. He advances
gallantly toward the object of his al
tention, his head scarely raised an inch
from the ground, his bill open fo ils
full stretch, his fleshy tongue elovated,
his eyes darting fiery glances, and as he
moves he hisses loudly, while the emo-
tion which he experiences causes his
quills to shake, and his feathers fo
rustle, Now he is closes fo her who, in
his eyes, is all loveliness, his neck bend.
ing gracefally in ali directions, passes
all around her and occasionally touches
her body ; and ns she congtatulates him
on his victory, and acknowledges his
affection, they move their necks in a
hundred eurions ways. Af this moment
flere jealousy urges the defeated
gender to renew his efforts to obtain
love; he advances apsoe, his eye
The affront cannot be borne in the pees-
ence of 80 large » company, nox indeed
is there much disposition to bear it in
any circumstances ; the blow is returned
with vigor, the aggressor reols for a

A Strictly Cash Store
where goods are bought
and sold for Cash.
We do not think it necessary to recall
to the minds of the pgople the instances
under our own observation in Which
basigess men have been ruined by the
credit system, but ask you frankly
whether it is not the cause of embarrass
ing #0 many business men of to-day.
Believing you admit it we desire Ww Lm-
press you with the fact that on and aller
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26,
we will inaugurate an entire new sysiem
known as the
STRICTLY CARH OR MONEY DUWK,
By this we do not mean to sey "lerws
cash” and sell on credit bul mean whal
we say, aud the editor of the “Reporter’
cannot buy 50 cents worth unless be
planks down the cash, snd so the rule
will apply to all alike. We next wish to
show that this new system will be even
more advanigeous to the public than to
ourselves, as lollows :
isi~~Merchandise bought on
must eventually be paid for and as there
are always more or less dead accounts
the merchant is compelied to add at
jeast 5 per cent, to the price of bis stock
to account for his loss.
9d—-0n account of not getting money
down he must add another & per cent. Ww
pay the interest on his borrowed money.
8d—1It requires one-third more work
to make a blotter charge than to simply
take the money and this necessarily
adds another & per cent. to the price.
4ih~—Not being able to pay for goods
at soon as they reach ihe store, (by hav.
irg money in his books,) the credit mer-
chant pays 5 per cent, more than the
cash merchant.
You can add numerous reasons of your
own snd conclude by saying, “itis a
golden idea for all,” and in addition to
the saving of 15,20 or 20 per cent, on
our goods we will be able to close the
year free of debt.
Under the new system we offer Gran-
ulabed sugar at 7c, Arbuckles’ coffee at
16¢, best home-made flour $1.10 per sack,
Lewisburg roller flour $1.40, A syrup 38¢
