THIS IS DONATION DAY.
Needs of the Home of the Friend
less Are Great.
Today will be donation day at the
Home for the Friendless. The event
is anticipated with unusual interest

greater than usual. So many are there
to be fed and clothed and sheltered

friends in the past the stock of pro
visions, groceries and wearing apparel
is very low Indeed. Anything which
you send will be appreciated and if
kind friends find It impossible to have
their gifts conveyed thither a tele
phone message to the Home any time
today will result in sending for such
donations.
This evening an entertainment will
be given, when it is specially urged
that every well wisher of the Home
will be In attendance. A silver offer
ing will be received and the entertain
nint will more than repay any effort
made by visitors and patrons. Miss

Claims That Promise Well The

and Bituminous nnd a Consider
able Amount of It WaB Mined.
Expects to Return to Alaska in
the Spring,
Kiigone M. Strong pnd son, Harry,
who have been at Cape Nom, Alaska,
for several month.?, returned to their
home, on South Main avenue, yester
day afternoon, after a most Interest
ing and profitable experience In the
gold fields. Their mlsslen was princi
pally of a trading nature, although
home prosp"ctlng jTor gold nnd coal
wns done,
Mr, Strong and son wore In ti party
ut twelve who left the east on April
10, comprising the Cot win Trading
company, nnd aftor n Mny at Seattle
sailed on May 1, for Capo Nome.
They went by way or Dutch Harbor,
through Umnnk Pass, I'nalaskn, and
the Behiing Sen, to Unavak Island,
wlteie they encountered much trouble
In the Ice.
The party, with the revenue cutter
Corwln, were two weeks breaking

WHY HE WILL VOTE FOR McKINLEY,
John J. Davles, the well-known West Side druggist, and a man
who has the respect and regard of his neighbors, no matter what
their political belief may be, gives the following reasons why he
will vote for McKinley for president:
"Because in the first place he is in favor of a stable currency,
without which no nation can become permanently great and pros
perous. "Because he stands for a protective tariff. This is the instrument
by means of which we have been made industrially great and we are
not yet prepared to make in it many radical changes, much less
abolish it as every consistent Democrat believes should be done.
"Because his handling of the Philippine question itself forced
upon us by Democratic jingoism is the only course open to us if we
would be just to ourselves, to the world nt large, and to the Filipinos
themselves.
"Because he has already demonstrated his fitness for the office
by his record as governor, as a member of congress, and by his four
years as president, during which the country has enjoyed unexam
pled prosperity. Bryan, on the other hand, is an experiment. We
know of nothing to recommend him for this high place except that
morally he is a good man and can make a speech. But that is not
enough. We have lot of good men morally speaking in, Scranton
nnd some of them can make good speeches, yet no one thinks them
fit for the presidensy."

through the ice, and a week later
sighted a dismantled vessel, the Cath
erine Sudden, Captain Pano In com
mand, which had sprung aleak in her
bow. The crew were stalled in the
Ice, and the vessel had been looted by
the crews of the Pitcarlng and Louise
B., when the Corwln reached her
AN ACT OF CHARITY.
The hitter's crew removed a launch
from the Catherine and towed it up
to Cape Nome with its temaining car
go, after stripping her of all the heavy
freight and iron work. For this act of
charity the Corwln Trading company
received $2,rU0, and also possession of
the Catherine's valuable cargo, but
it is now in litigation.
When the party entered the bay at
Cape Nome, only two vessels were
sighted, but when they left there four
weeks ago yestordav, llfty-flve vessels
were sighted. The ntock obtained
from the dismantled vessel realized
$12,000 at auction for the Corwln trad
ers, but they anticipate trouble over
the goods In the courts.
Upon reaching Capo Nome, the par
ty entered extensively into tho trading
business and after disposing of much
of their wares and obtaining in re
turn whalebone. Ivory, walrus hide,
furs, decor meat and other products,
thej; sot out to prospect for coal.
Tin no hundred and fifty miles from
Nom the Corwln group of mines were
discovered nnd staked out. Tho The
tis claim was also established, nnd out
or twenty claims of coal land dis
covered, there will average 120 acres
each to a claim. Three hundred tons
were taken out of one claim nlone in
the short lime the party wore there,
and this sold lor ?I0 a ton.
II is now worth $(!:. a ton at Nome
and will be worth $100 a ton in colder
weather. The pioduct of these claims
Is a line specimen of coal, between an
thracite and bituminous and large
quantities of it has been brought east
to lie analyzed,
SPECIMENS OP THE COAL.
Mr. Strong showed Tho Tribune man
a .specimen of the coal and lie savs
they expect to be able to mine it as
cheap theie as It is mined here. They
burned tho coal in the boilers of the
Corwln nn the nip fiom the claims to
Noiuo and It gave excellent satisfac
tion, Ho Is of the opinion that It is
the best coal obtainable on tho Pacific
coast, and believes there is thousands
of tons yet to be mined,
Heretofore the prospectors have only
taken thu specimens found on the sur
face, but they delved into the earth
fifty feet below the first line and were
amazed at tho quantity of coal dls
covetPil. The company expects to have
their portable houses erected by next
spilng pear their coal claims and will
ienew their prospecting with n large
fuice of men.
Itcgaidlng their gold claims, Mr
Strong says that the prospecting Is
done with great dllllenlty. The richest
fctilko the Corwln company has made
Is at Twin Mountuln, IS miles fiom
Nome, where washings weie made
valued at $200 a day, There Is one of
their claims, the Llndahoom, which has
realized $35,000 in one day, but all tho
paying claims ate In litigation by rea
son of men claiming priority.
WAGES ARE HIGH.
Labor was $1 an hour when the
tradets landed theie and very scarce
at that, but towurds the cold weather
help coujd bo obtained for $5 a day.
A cook In their party of ilvu men
commanded $100 a month and his pto
visions. There are 40,000 persons at
Nome, and all sorts of buildings of
wood, Iron und canvas. The natives
are exceedingly thrifty and shrewd.
Many of them nro suffering from con
gestion of the lungs und tie dying by
the hundreds. They do not know
the value of money nnd would pick
a corn cab pipe in preference to a
$20 gold piece If laid before them,
Everything they make Is exchanged
for provisions, ammunition, weapons,
and oilier store obtained from the
traders. Tito specimens of some of the
clothing made by (ho nntlves, which
Mr. Strong brought home with lilin
are very cleverly worked out of senl
skins, wnlrus hides and other pro
ducts of (ho frozen north.
Ho also lias In his possession samples
of gold punned on tho beach at Nome
and a ttiantlly of the rubyisand gath
ered on the beach, which li full of
line gold. II Is necessary to dig down
Into the earth from 12 to IS feet to
obtain this lttby sand,
ROIJVENinS OK ALASKA.
The teporter wns also shown speci
mens of gold ritint'tis which were
washed out on the company's claims.
The amount of curiosities which bo
brought home with him would fill 11
good sized room and there Is on tho
way several boxes and barrels of valu
able things obtained In Alaska.
Mr. Strong looks the picture of
health and Is very Inthuslnstlc over his
trip, and expects to return In thu
spring.

Independents and the curriers,
Notices Posted,
Notices of the deplslon arrived at by
tho opetntors' conference, Tuesday
afternoon, that the ten per cent, ad
vance wns to be figured by redttplng
powder to $1,C0 a lteg and adding two
nnd one-half per cent, to the car,
were posted generally y lite coal com
panies yesterday. The Lnekawunnn
company's notice was posted ently yes
terday morning. It Is similar to that
posted by the Delaware nnd Hudson
the night before.
As a general rule the notice Is very
favorably considered. In some few In
stances the miner who uses very little
powder will not get the full ten per
cent, but tthi.s Is counterbalanced by
tne ract mat the mujority of the min
ers will get more than ten per cent,
some of them as high as fourteen nor
cent. The per cent, end of the matter
however, occasions no practical uni
formity ns every man Is to receive
powder for $1.50 a keg und an even
advance of 2 1-2 per cent on the car.
How the notice Is being received Is
illustrated aptly by a story told
around headquarters. A Delawuro
and Hudson miner who had a
very good place nnd who was
counting on an Individual ac
counting as to what per contnge of ex
pense the reduction in the nrlce of
powder represented, was complaining
that the new order of things was not
fair and that he wus going to lose
by It. An Hungarian miner who hap
pens to have a rather hurd place, and
who was pleased that the per cent
age for powder was not to exceed seven
and one-half, put an end to the favored
miner's complaining by the simple re
murk "Me trade you pluees."
Trouble at Wnshery.
Some trouble occurred yesterday
and the day before at W. T. Davis'
wnshery, located between the Dela
ware and Hudson tracks and the river,
just below tho Mlnooka station, but
the only result was the closing down
of the wnshery.
Tuesday afternoon a crowd assem
bled on n culm bank' above the place
where the men were shovelling culm
into the carriers and drove them out
with a fullade of stonss. Later In
the day when it wns attempted to re
sume work with the aid of a few of
the fifteen employes who did not de
sert and about a dozen deputies, who
offered 10 give over their guard duty
and lend a hand at shovelling, the
crowd once more appeared and re
newed the attack. Rather than have
any bother, the place was shut down.
Yesterday morning, while Foreman
Charles Kane and Fireman Casper
Leuthold vvere going down the tracks
to the washery, a small crowd that
had been on picket duty on the hill
above the railroad, rushed down on
the two men nnd pelted them with
stones. Leuthold drew his revolver
and fired a shot, at which the assail
ants halted and sought tho cover of
the trees. Kane and Leuthold con
tinued their journey unmolested. Two
shots were fired by the crowd on the
hill, but like Leuthoid's shot, thev
were aimed at the sky. At least,
both sides claim that their phots were
directed towards the zenith.
SENT UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Cost One Correspondent S20O to Get
a Message Out of Pekin.
I'lom the C'hirjco Iteioul.
On Aug. 2 last the Record published
a cablegram, that is now famous the
world over, from Dr. Robert Coltinan,
jr.. Its staff correspondent In Pekln,
this being the first dispatch sent out
to any newspaper from the besieged
foreigners In that city. In a letter re
ceived by the Record yesterday, and
dnted Aug. IS, Dr. Collman writes:
"When I got off the message tho
Riisso-Chlnese bank was offering $1,
000 for a man to try to go to Tien
Tsin, but tho Investment of our lines
was too tight. For a native to go out
and try to sneak through at nlcht
meant almost certain capture and
death with torture.
"I agreed to pay $200 If the message
got through, to a clever boy of 1,",
and It wus he who got through. The
message was written on a piece of
thin paper, and written so fine us to
only cover a small visiting card's
space. This was rolled up and put
under some spoiled rice in a beggur's
broken bowl, nnd the boy, personating
,a beggar's lad, got safely through. He
was captured twice and searched, but
they never thought of emptying out
his stnle rice bowl und looking
through It for the lilt of oiled paper
that wrapped up the precious mes
sage." This Is probably the most remark
able Instance on 'record of forwarding
a newspaper dispatch under seeming
ly insuperable dllllcultles.

Mason & Hamlin Pianoforte
"Aug. 1, 1800.
"Mfiion k Hamlin Co.,
"(ientlemeu: 'J lie t'pright Pianoforte which t
recently purchased of you is a constant source
of delight to me. Ita beautifully musical tor.a
and delicately responsive action are in inch ad
mirable adjustment ns to induce .1 musical (tat.
on the part of the player and even auggeit
musical ideas to the composer.
"While capable of caressing and pathallc ten.
dernesK, it is also unflinching under bravura
passages, and in tills respect it approaches tha
iinttue of a firand Pianoforte.
"It Is an in-diuincnt for the musically Intolll.
ginl, especially for those to whom 1 Orand
1'i.iuofoite Is for any icason debarred."

We delight ill showing the Mason & Hamlin
Upright, and the ll.iby Cirand, to all persons ap
preciating an absolutely artistic piano.
