The action of~Collector Fruit, of
Pittsburg, in demanding the resignation
of two employes in his office, Martin
F Howley. bond clerk, and George h..
Bochert, deputy collector, has received
the sanction of the Treasury depart
ment and the clerks will be removed.
This statement was mad* by a high of
ficial of the department. Although a
civil service insj>ector has been detailed
to investigate the alleged violation of
the law by collector Fruit the charges
fiW by Mr Fruit in the case of the two
clerkß of insubordination was thought (
suttieent for their removal. The forth- «
coming opinion of Assistant Attorney.
General Boyd regarding the powers of
collectors of internal revenue and mar
shals to remove their deputies will be
far reaching, it is understood, and will
hold that the collectors and marshals
have the right to remove any of the
employes under them, no matter hou
small an office they may hold.
A Letter From Alaska.

follows.
•I have not made many
acquaintances among the Indians. It
would hardly do to venture farther
than a speaking acquaintance. it
doesn't do to be familiar, but pleasant
ness goes a good ways with thenr
They are very quiet in this town ana
know how to keep their distance as well
as a white man. There are a great
manv bright, smart people among them
and generallv all of them are quick to
learn, and most of them are good me
chanics. I have seen some fine home
made boats and the church was built by
the natives. The town is the strangest
place I ever visited. Mr. Duncan, the
founder, came to British Columbia, \la
the Pacific Ocean, in '59, as a missonarv
from England. He was in a business
house in England and threw over a large
salary, for one of his age, 23 years, to
come out here. He found the Indians
as savage and low down in every partic
ulaa as they could be. He remained
with them nearly SO years, and brought
them up to a civilized state. Had a town
built, with a church, store, etc. The
Indians were industrious and quite
civilized, and he had everything even
more modern than he has here.
"Well, he was an Episcopalian, and
when the big guns in the church heard
of the great work he had done here,
they sent a bishop who seems to have
been a big head.' He insisted on
observing the Lord's supper and other
ordinances of the church. Wine was
used at the sacrament. Mr. Duncan
remonstrated in vain. _ Liquor always
upsets an Indian, and it did Duncan s.
They couldn't understand the ceremo
nies, and the bishop refused to modify
the customs of the church. Finally
Duncan left the town, and came over
on this island, accompanied by a num
ber of Indians, and started all over
anew. He went east in 1887, lectured
and solicited, and had a bill passed in
congress making the island an Indian
reservation. All there is here has l>een
built in 10 years. They have here a
church, a town hall, big school houses,
a girl's home, seven or eight stores, and
enough houses to accommodate the 800
or 1,000 people who live here.
• The salmon cannery is quite a large
affair and employs a large number of
Indians. There has been some talk of
putting in an electric light plant. It
could be operated, I think, by water
power. Mr. Duncan has pipeil water
wonderful fall, you can imagine how
it comes down to reach a pressure of 375
pounds. At the saw mill the shaft
from the saw is fitted directly into the
water wheel, so that there is no gearing.
Things would fly to pieces if there
were. "Duncan has the cleanest can
nery in the country; pretty clean lot of
people, too. They live in nice houses,
some of them quite aristocratic for
these parts. They are not vicious as
the ordinary run of Indians. Duncan
brought them np strictly for himself.
As an example of the manner of teach
ing they have received and their appre
ciation of right and wrong, Duncan
was selling tobacco in his store and the
townspeople remonstrated and told
him he must stop it, that it wasn't right.
So at the present time no tobacco is
sold in the town, and liquor has never
been sold here. Duncan will not permit
dancing. So you can get a pretty good
idea of the peacefullness of the place.
Every day is as quiet as Sunday, except
for some building and the cannery,
when it's running.
"The inhabitants fish and hunt in
season, so that the whole population is
not in town except at Christinas, and
then I guess they have a sort of reunion
They can afford to jollify, although
they take things easily most of the time.
Money is to be made all the time hunt
ing or fishing, and their pockets are
generally pretty well lined. The peo
ple here dress better than the white men
in the country round about, and they
are better fixed than the majority of
the white settlers.
"In traveling I earn- my own blank
ets wherever I go, and have become so
accustomed to sleeping on the floor that
I couldn't enjoy a soft bed. When the
Mexico passengers and crew were here
I slept on the floor, but liefore that I
had a lounge. Bunked on the pilot
house floor of the fish tug, but later had
a bunk in the hold. At Kitchikan I
slept on the carpet, with a blanket
under and over me, my over coat under
my head. It is no trouble to sleep that
way now as sweetly as 1 ever did on
feathers. lam so angular I only touch
at three points. I have found rowing
pretty hard. Every body here owns a
boat, and rowing is something they
don't get tired of here.
"In regard to Klondike: I would dis
courage anyone going there. People
are crazy to leave the east as they do
and go to that 'pestiferous' country
with no knowledge of the country be
yond that reported in the papers and
gotten from maps. The excitement is
so recent that nothing has been learned
of the country by the majority of the
people. It has not been reported in the
eastern papers in a true light. The rich
finds are exaggerated very much, al
though there have been a good many
fortunate ones. But the losers and dis
api>ointed people are not advertised.
If they were, it would make poorer
newspaper reading.
"Will write yon more about Klondike
in my next."
Itcsolutioiis of Respect.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Farmer's Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany at their office the following pre
amble and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, It has pleased the Heaven
ly Father in His wisdom to take from
us our esteemed friend and director,
George Bohn. of Clinton township.
Resolved, That in the death of Mr.
Bohn this company has lost a valuable
officer, a faithful and wise counselor.
Resolved That we, the directors of
this company, feel that we have been
deprived of a warm, sincere friend and
co-worker, whose loss we deeply de
plore.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread ui>on the minutes of this com
pany. published in two county papers
and a copy sent to the family of the
deseased.

YELLOW fever continues to spread,
with about 1000 cases on record in
New Orleans Mobile and Edwards
HARRISIURG.
There has beon issued from the Ad jn
tan* Gfeperal's Department a roster of
applications for transportation toChatta
nooga under the provisions of th»> act of
Jnly 22*1. IHO7. The trip will probably
be taken in November.
An apparently fair estimate places
the expenditures of the State in sending
the troops to suppress the out
break in the vicinity of Hazeltou at
$125,000. The National Onard law of
1887 fixes the pay of first sergeants at
$8 a day, sergeants |2, corporals *1 75,
musicians and privates $1.50, and each
enlisted man after having served a full
term of enlistment shall be entitled
to an additional pay of 25 cents per day
for service during his second term and
a further addition of 25 cents per day
for service daring each subsequent
term of enlistment.

twp., now the residence of Mrs. J. A.
house was tastefully decorated
with goldenrod and ferns, while four
beautiful boquete adorned the long
table, which was stretched the entire
length of the dining room well laden
with substantial and delicacies.
After dinner part of the afternoon
was pleasantly spent in social inter
course, in reminiscences ol the times
spent under the same roof in former
years and of the loved ones departed
for the better land.
At about four o'clock all assembled
at one spot and had their picture taken
with not a little amusement. _
Supper was served at about 5 o clock,
iiff l im 'liii'ir of ft good
and pleasant time together.
The following is a list of those pre

HAPPY prSKSYLVANIA.
How stand by the Party That Brought
This Joy.
Last Sunday the Philadelphia Prep?
printed reports from 4f» of the 6, coun
ties of this state relative to the condi
tion of industry. In response to in
quiries 10"- reports from as many dif
ferent places were received. Comment
ing on this happy omen of good times
The Press says:
"That there is a good time coming we
have confidently believed since last No
vember. Has it arrived? These 102 re
ports tell us that all over the state
of Pennsylvania, except in those un
happy regions where ill timed strikes ;
delay the awaiting revival of industry,
mills are starting up everywhere, orders
are coming in and labor is tlnding em
ployment. Prices have not advanced in
every case and nowhere is there a fev
erish boom, sure to be followed by re
i action. The advance is natural, healthy,
I widespread, and. while profits would be
I greater if prices ruled higher, that
i which is made counts for more and
does not Invite and stimulate the com-
I petition of foreign importations,
i "The present is assuring and the
promise is much greater. In the opinion
of many competent judges this state is
on the threshold of the greatest pros
perity in its history. From town after
town and county after county come the
same encouraging responses. It is not
only mills and mines that show increas
ed activity, but this activity and pros
perity is shared by all related indus
tries. The merchant sells more goods,
the farmer finds a better market for his
products, the railroads find their freight
traffic greatly Increasing and in their
turn are led to expenditures which give
new employment to labor.
"As to the cause of this revival, It is
not necessary, perhaps, to inquire too
curiously. A year ago Republicans
prophesied that the election of McKin
ley. the defeat of the cheap money
craze and the settlement of the tariff
vent of better times That prophecy has
been fulfilled. The whole country re
joices In Improved conditions and Penn
sylvania knows that a large measure of
it has come to her."
The Dingley tariff started the wheels
I and hands of American industry to
i work, and when labor gains regular and
full employment the home consump
tion of bieadstuffs and meats will be
• still more largely increased. The home
» demand is still the real key to the val
ues of American grain and meats. If all
the American laborers are given full
employment at American wages tho
home consumption will be large, and
the world s demand for our surplus
foodstutis unprecedented during the past
quarter of a century. If the Wilson-
Gorman tariff hard times had con
tinued during 1897. and the consump
tion of wheat in the United States been
reduced to the two and a half bushels
per capita, as it was in 1894. the United
States could have supplied twice the
amount of wheat that will be neces
sary to supply the world's deficiency.
But the American people are all going
to work again to rebuild their home
markets, and if they consume the full
rations of 1592 the United States will
lack about 50.060.000 bushels of wheat of
being able to supply all the wheat the
world demands. That is the reason why
wheat is really worth sl.lO per bushel
at the railway stations in lowa, and
other grains and meats proportional
prices.—Des Moines (la.) Register.
It is a fact which statistics prove,
and which no intelligent man disputes,
that in the year 1893. after the McKin
ley bill had been in effect two years,
the average rate of wages in this coun
try was the highest in its history, and
that the aggregate number of men em
ployed was greater than ever before
The reducing process and the depres
sion which threw men out of employ
ment came after the election of a party
which had made a threat to lose no
time in revolutionizing the tariff sys
tem under which this condition ex
isted.— Wheeling (W. Va.) Intelligencer.
The passage of the tariff of 1597 with
in 20 weeks from the date of the In
auguration of a Republican president
stands as an unparalleled achievement
in business legislation and a credit tc
, , Lin,r.- mmmW" ul th" RftniU'l'OMn
of the United States. The result of the
effort to put lh»- government on a sol
vent basis and to give to American in
dustry protection from competition
with foreign cheap labor is gratifying
In every way and full of promise of bet.

Difference
No difference to you how we got them—but we got them. A
whole lot of watches which we cannot wear out ourselves, and not
being in the watch business we decided to give them to our custom
ers. These watches are not toy watches but good reliable time
keepers and handsome. Now we will give one of these v-atches to
any person buying at our store until further notice, blankets, robes,
sleigh, buggy or wagon harness or other goods, amounting to $lO or
over at one time. We charge you nothing for the watch—it is a
present for you—of cour-e you can readily see that if the watch cost
us even a dollar or two we could not aftord to do it. but to be can-
WATCHES we happen WATCHES
whole lot for what we
considered nearly noth- $-FREES
- and can afford to be liberal with them. But do not let this lead
you to believe they arc worthless—we carry OIK- ourselves and find
them good reliable timekeepers. Here now Is a good chance to get
a watch for nothing because we give you the goods you buy at least
io per cent, less than you can buy them elsewhere, which wouidi
mean $i l worth of goods for $lO and a good watch for good fellow
ship. Call and see for yourself.
