For the Freedom of the Yukon.
That van a rather startling story
Which came down from Skaguay to the
effect that there had been discovered
R huge conspiracy, ramifying various
sections of the Yukon country, for the
overthrow of the local government of
the Northwest Territories of the Do
minion of Canada and the establishing
of a republic, with Dawson as its cap
ital.
According to the details of the story,
arms, ammunition and provisions had
been taken over the railroad and
cached at strategic points. Miners to
the number of 5,000, backed by a fund
of $2. p iO,ooo, were said to be organized
and awaited the summons to arms,
ready to fight for independence from
Dominion rule of the goldflelds, camps
and towns. The plan was to over
power the mounted police, arrest the
civil authorities and take the govern
ment into their own hands. The
rigors of the arctic winter, it Is urged,
would give the insurgents six months'
Immunity from attack from Canadian
or British troops, and the conspirators
hoped for intervention or outside as
sistance by the time the melting of ice
and snow would permit the invasion
of their isolated republic.
While the mutterings of discontent
over the Dominion administration of
the gold country have been loud and
frequent and riot and bloodshed have
more than once been threatened, it has
hardly been thought that the miners
would resort to so bold an enterprise as
the overthrow of the territorial govern
ment to right their wrongs, which ev
er}' oue familiar with the situation
there admits are many and grievous.
There may be here the seeds of a good
deal of trouble, though the establish
ment of the republic of the Yukon is
decidedly chimerical.
The Diaz Doctrine.
As a complement to the Monroe doc
trine of the United States the republic
of Mexico now proclaims to the Amer
icans, whose representatives are in
session in its capital, the "Diaz doc
trine." which is thus stated:
The International law of America is founded on
peace, which in its turn depends on respect for
the aovereignty, independence and ttrritorial in
tegrity of each and all republics of America.
While this is not essentially a new
doctrine, its enunciation at this time
and from such a source ought to have
a good effect upon certain of the South
American states. It ought to be an
offset to the Castro doctrine, which
means a scheme of territorial aggran
dizement through the levying of uu
avowed war and the stealthy foment
ing of revolution, and the Chilean doc
trine, which looks to continental con
quest. frankly if ruthlessly achieved.
At a time when the northern section of
South America is aflame with mis
chievous talk of a greater Colombia
and when dreams of still wider domin
ion agitate the"forward party" of
Chile it is good to have the greatest
Latin American of his time speak a
significant word in behalf of peace and
respect for the integrity of frontiers.
The Mexico under Diaz has by its sta
bility and progress earned the right to
promulgate a "doctrine" the accept
ance of which by the republics farther
south would make far better political
conditions among them. It is a worthy
companion piece to the Monroe doc
trine, and both should be maintained
as fixed principles of this hemisphere.
It is the opinion of army experts
botli in this country and abroad that
the sword has become obsolete as a
weapon of modern warfare and that a
more effective weapou should be sub
stituted for it both for mounted and
unmounted troops. However, the world
has not yet arrived at the full appre
ciation of the wisdom of Richelieu's
maxim: "Take away the swords. Na
tions can be saved without them."
With all the flattering attention It
has been receiving at the hands of
New York society, the horse has no
reason to fear that it will be pushed
from popular favor by the automobile.
Did anybody ever hear of a pretty girl
affectionately patting an automobile on
the neck and feeding it lumps of sugar?
The Vermont man whose life was
saved because a bullet fired at him was
stopped by a steel locket containing his
wife's picture has reason to congratu
late himself upon being such a loving
husband.
Many New York people have declar
ed in favor of a "sensible Sunday law"
for the metropolis. The principal ditfi
culty seems to be the ascertainment of
what constitutes a sensible Sunday
law.

patient suffering from a complication

TIIE STOKER MAYOR
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT BRIDGE- |
PORT'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
For the Past Thirty Year# aud Ip to
the Day of His lileetlon Major >1 nl
vihill Worked HI U Stoker L'or
Fourteeu lJoll«r» a HITII.
Perhaps one of the most interesting i
l»f the new mayors elected this fall is
the chii'f executive of Bridgeport,
Conn. Denis Mulvihill is called the
"stoker" mayor because for thirty
years he has worked at the furnaces of
e manufacturing company in the city
where he now holds the highest mu
nicipal otlice. Up to the very day he
was elected Mr. Mulvihill putin nine
hours daily shoveling coal, but s<> sure
was he of success that he then Lauded
In his resignation, but said he might
.want his old job back again iu two
years. His majority was the largest
ever given a candidate in Bridgeport.
Few mayors have been so little
known before election and si mu< h
tallied about since as the "stoker may
or. Up to four years ago he had hard
ly been heard of outside of his ncLli- |
borhood. Then he was waited upon ,
one evening by a committee and asked
to run for alderman. He it I used, say
lug he had stayed out of polities all his
life, and it was too late for him lo learn
new tricks. They urged him that h:s
duties as an alderman would occupy
only two nights a week and that it was
time he did something for his party.
Finally he accepted, and his election
followed.
As an alderman Mr. Mulvihill at
tracted a great deal of local attenth ti.
He opposed every measure that carri< d
with it an expenditure of public funds
and fought so hard against appropria
tions he regarded as needless that he
was given the name of the "watchdog
of the city treasury."
Although many regarded it as a huge
Joke when Mr. Mulvihill was nominat
ed for ma3'or and said it was impossi
ble for him to win, they did uot know
the power of the candidate. He was
known simply as a laborer, but the
fact that he was an unusual one was
not known outside of the manufactur
ing plant in which he worked. His
friends predicted just such a majority
as he received. During the campaign
be made 110 speeches. Knowing him
to be a poor man, a large number of
people sent him checks to aid him in
bis campaign, but these Mr. Mulvihill
returned, saying he was able to pay
his own bills.
The former coal shoveler and present
mayor of Bridgeport is a man with
[ {WSHSejB? '
PEXIS MTTLVniTLI/.
[Mayor of Bridgeport, Conn.]
deep gray eyes, strong features and is
a splendid example of physical man
hood. lie stands about 5 feet 11 inches
and weighs nearly 200 pounds. His
face is clean shaved, displaying a strik
ingly tenacious chin. Pi r. nation is
written upon liis countenance unmis
takably. A moment's talk with the
"stoker" mayor will tell you he is au
Irishman, and he has a philosophy of
life distinctly liis own, which he ex
presses in his own Irish way. lie is
typically Irish in temperament, good
natured, witty and altogether whole
hearted.
Mayor Mulvihill was born in one of
the southern counties of Ireland just
fifty-eight years ago. His father was
a machinist aud gave the sou the ad
vantages of the meager school facili
ties available. lie aided his father in
bis work until over twenty years old,
and then, like many other ambitious
Irish lads of the time, be set sail for
America. At first the young immigrant
was a day laborer in Massachusetts,
but in LS7I he went to Bridgeport,
Conn., got a job as a stoker at the
Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing
company, and there he remained. Dur
ing all that time he had worked four
teen hours a day, getting up to start
the fires at 4:30 o'clock in the morn
ing aud stopping work at t! in the even
ing. It never occurred to him to ask
for promotion from coal shoveling or to
be surprised that promotion did not
come to him without the asking.
During all those years as a stoker
Mr. Mulvihill worked for sll a week.
On this amount he not only supported
a family, but saved money besides. He
Jived frugally and with Ids savinga
bought building lots in East Bridge
port. They were very cheap then, but
he thought they would rise in value.
He was right. The lowest estimate of
the present value of his property is
sl2 000, but there are those who say ha
is worth $-10,000.
Mayor Mulvihill has a wife and three
children, the eldest whom Is now a
boy of seventeen. He is extremely
proud of his daughter, who is now in
the high school and studying French.
As mayor of Bridgeport liis salary will
be $3,000, foui times his wages as sto
ker. He believes in hard work and
eays it is the best tonic in the world.

Since then, however, friendly Inter

Mexican embassadress, whose diplo

Austrian minister's wife.
Only a woman can fully appreciate
the feelings of the baroness as she
pays the call demanded by diplomatic j
etiquette. She will go in her carriage,
of course, perhaps accompanied by her
husband as far as the curb, and her
card will be received with all due cere

etiquette permits. She will live
through it, however, and will have
many opportunities to repay in kind.

Tonic Gnnna nnd Flornl Decoration*
For EveniiiK UresNPi.
Many of the latest French evening '
gowns are being made on the tunic
style. There is a tight fitting taffeta
uuderdress, over which hangs softly a
transparent tunic of embroidered net
which reaches a little below the knees.
From there down a wide ruffle attach- j
ed to the slip simulates a second tunic.
Both tunics are edged with handsome
embroidery. This quaint style is very
becoming to a tall young matron.
Floral decorations are more popular
than ever on ball gowns. Large sprays
of artificial orchids are the latest thing.
One spray goes half way around the
decolletage on the left side, falling in
graceful clusters to a point a trifle be-,
low the waist line. The companion
spray is fastened with apparent care
lessness among the folds of the train.
A FBtnT.
Algrets are now confined to elderly
women. Bows of jeweled tulle are pre
ferred as hair ornaments by younger
matrons. For a young girl nothing can
be prettier than the single large roses
fastened a little above the left ear.
A rich gown on the peplum order is
shown in our illustration. It Is made
of rose colored silk mull, dotted In sil
ver. The mull, which is transparent,
falls in a double tunic effect over a
tight fitting princess slip of pink taf
feta. The edges of these two tunics
are edged with costly point lace. Van
dyke points also appear bertha fashion
around the low decolletage and over
the tops of the full transparent sleeves.
The front of the gown is one long
panel of lace, outlined by sprays of
tea roses and their foliage. A single
rose is worn in the hair.

For afternoon gowns tucks, cordings

which is the old fashioned glace with

contrasted with the inevitable chiffon

material is a thicker sort of chiffon
with a glistening surface and is Quito
ideal for ruches and frills.

Ilond I*roit'rp*A In Tennemrc.
j Judging from the enthusiasm which
attended the recent annual meeting of
the Tennessee Good Roads association,
much work in the improvement of
highways will be accomplished in that
state next year. The convention was
not content with academic discussions
of the advantages of good roads, the
best material for roadways aud tho
like, but took practical steps toward a
realization of the ideals. To secure
united action throughout the state and
to build up an organization which
would be strong enough to demand leg
islation each county court was urged
to send three delegates to each annual
meeting of the State ltoads association.
It was decided also to ask the legisla
ture for the appointment of a state en
gineer to consult with county super
intendents in the matter of roads and
bridges and for legislation which would
permit the employment of jail inmates
In roadmaking.
In a recent bulletin reviewing the
work of road improvement in New
York state State En neer Bond says:
The legislature appiopriated $420,000
for road improvement this year, and
in the three years in which road im
provement work has been In progress
20 roads, having a total mileage of 4,">
miles, have been improved at cost of
$307,000; that 30 roads, bavin a mile
t age of 122 miles, are now undergoing
Improvement at a cost of $77.'!,7i>0;
that funds have been awarded for the
improvement of 3 roads having a mile
age of 7 miles at a cost of $.">0,000, and
that plans have been approved by
I boards of supervisors of 12 counties
for the Improvement of 47 roads, hav
ing a mileage of 134 miles, which
would impose an expense upon the
state and the counties, if adopted, of
51.001,443.
When all the roads already improv

those whose improvement is suggested
have been improved, 100 will have
been constructed In 23 counties, cov

The New York Cornell station re

The seed was sown In late fall or early

they were ready for bleaching. In the
experiments reported all the usual
methods of bleaching were tried, but
without success. When, however, the
plants were wrapped with a thick, hard
wrapping paper with an almost sized
surface, the bleaching was successful.
1 By this method the stalks were
brought together and tied and a width
of paper reaching to within two or
three inches of the tops of the leaves
was rolled tightly about the plants. As
the plants grew another width of pa
per was rolled about the first and again
reaching nearly to the top of the plant-
Two applications of the paper were
found to be sufficient. From a month
to six weeks was required to bleach the
celery by this process in a cool house
in April and May. The Kalamazoo va
riety of celery was found to be well
adapted to house cultivation.
GARDENING ITEMS.
Winter Greens mid Vejcetnblee For
Forrini; —Hotbed Soli.
If the spinach bed for winter greens
has not materialized, a substitute
equally as good may be provided and
grown very easily. Select some of the
overgrown beets too large and woody
for table use and set them In sand or
soil on the cellar bottom or other con
venient place, where they can receive
suflicient heat to grow the tops rapid
ly. The hotbeds banked up with ma
nure sufficiently to turn the frost will
grow a good crop. In this case manure
underneath the beets, and the sash
on top will be necessary- Lacking
these, the rhubarb or house cellar will
do, as they will grow equally well in
the dark. Turnips may also be grown
In the same manner, but growing in
the hotbed with exposure to the light
will be most generally satisfactory, as
when grown in the light they will re
tain the naturally green color Instead
of the lemon color which is the result
of growing in the dark.
Soil For the Hotbed,
The radishes, lettuce tind early to
matoes will need to be started long
before the frost is out of the ground
next spring, and soil for the hotbeds
should be secured this fall. A con
venient way is to pile the soil in a
large cone shaped heap. Armed down
[ to avoid wasting by the rains or melt
i ing snow; protect with litter or straw,
j hold on with a few boards, to avoid
i too much freezing, and then it will be
! accessible at ::ny time?. Very satisfac
tory results may be obtained in the
hotbed with lettuce, radishes and cu
cumbers f.ir the late winter market.
The green! while very desirable, is
not a necessary adjunct of the work.
It:-!> For Winter Fore in*.
Make sure ih::t the rhubarb roots are
iu condition for the best possible re
suits for the winter forcing. Try forc
ing enough for home use at least, as
few fresh iVuits are obtainable at that
season, and apples will surely be scarce
and high this j'ear. For sauce and pies
the rhubatb will prove the most ac
ceptable st bstitr.U- f>.r apples.

THE MERINO SHEEP.
Should Be Largr, With Heavy Xerk
and Plain Uoily.
Twenty-five or thirty years ago tbe
most popular type was tbe wrinkly so
called Vermont Merino, said L. A. Web
ster before the Ohio Sheep Breeders' I
association. Form, crossing, density |
and weight of fleece were the principal j
features, making not entirely a practi
cal sheep. Later on human nature
made itself evident again ingoing to
the other extreme, and during the
eighties and early nineties an extreme- j
ly plain sheep was In the boom, a j
MEItINO RAM LOGAN AGAIN
sheep not well covered, but bearing
an unusually long fleece and so thin
in many cases as to fall over each way j
from the back.
This was not as good a sheep as the j
first. Now we have arrived at the age i
of reason. The Merino of the twen- I
tleth century must be large, with a
heavy neck and a comparatively plain 1
body, well covered with a dense fleece
of medium length. That is the coming
sheep, and such the western sheep men
are quietly looking after today.
The great Merino ram Logan Again, i
owned by Mr. Ed King of Kansas. |
says the American Sheep Breeder, rep
resents a model type of American
Merino. He weighs 203 pounds and
shears close to 43 pounds of splendid :
wool. Logan Again's fleece Is close 1
Bet to exclude dust; good covering and j
high quality In every part.

Corn Is largely fed to horses, but
from its tendency to produce fat it Is
not to be recommended as equal to
oats. Corn may be fed more freely u j
winter because It is an excellent hea <
supporter, but at other times it should
be liberally mixed with oats or dis
carded altogether, says Dr. J. C. Cur
ryer In Farm and Home. Wheat bran
Is rich In protein, and that it can be
fed with profit to our horses there can
be no doubt. When fed in connection
; with corn or cornmeal. its effects are
! very soon noticed in the appearance of
j the animal. Horses, like men, desire
a variety of food, and the system tires
' of a steady diet. There should be a
j change of food occasionally. A mix
| ture of ground oats and wheat makes
j one of our best foods and one that
6hould be widely used. Barley and
oats also make a capital food. Al
| low plenty of time to eat and always
! feed carefully—no scantiness, no over- j
feeding, especially of the grain foods,
i Good, pure water of moderate temper- i
i ature is of prime importance.
Owing to the small size of the horse's
stomach he should always be watered
| before feeding. Never allow too much :
' water at one time, especially when
warm. The old saying. "A horse has
more sense than a man,"and that he
will not drink too much is a mistake.
He will drink too much when heated
: and the 6tomaeh empty. Give little at
a time and often, and no danger is
likely to result. The use of common
salt is necessary in many ways to tbe
I animal system.
Attention to the feet and legs is of
j great importance. They require more
; care than the body and are more liable
ito injury. When a horse has been
driven during the day.he should not
be allowed to spend the night without
i being cleaned and his legs rubbed
down. This stimulates the circulation.
: Kindness with horses is of the utmost
importance. Always cultivate an ac
' quaintance, and be on social and
friendly terms with them. The hv.rse
Is especially worthy of the best care,
for no other domestic animal so read
ily responds to kind treatment.
Xervoua Hor»ei.
Always treat the nervous horse with
kindness, patience, forbearance, aud
never make any quick or sudden move
ment or loud talking if It can be
avoided.
Faatenlng the Horse.
A horse should never be tied around
the neck with a rope. The price of one
horse will buy many halters. Give all
animals humane treatment and never
forget that they have feelings.
Hardening Horiei.
Subjecting colts and horses to hard
ships and exposure for the purpose of
j hardening them and giving them a re-
I sistant constitution, says Farm and
Ranch, Is wisdom of the same kind
as that exhibited by the Idiot who
would leave a tine piece of machinery
exposed to the elements so that it may
be enabled to run under adverse con
ditions.
Draft Horses Popular.
The draft horse now enjoys the high
est prosperity and greatest popularity
of any breed of horses among the
American farmers, says Live Stock
Journal. The prejudice against the
draft horse being too big has given
place to the universal desire to raise
them as large as possible and farmers
generally want to raise draft horses
for the market, and they have learned
that the big draft mares and young
geldings make the best farm teams,
and as fast as they mature the mar
kets take them at good prices.
Good Work of Hull House.
A novel feature of the work at Hull
House. Chicago, is the new tenement
house which is to be constructed and
managed solely for the benefit of poor
working women. The rents will be
made sufficiently low to benefit the wo
men for whom the homes are designed,
and, to make all complete, a day nurs
ery will be opened in the building
where the children may be cared for
while their mothers are at work.
The SoitK of the Oriingr.
This bit of old time southern rhetoric
about the orange is found in the Jack
sonville (Fla.i Times-Union: "The or
anges are moving, and the good times
must come again. Let others take their
gold from the gloomy depths of the
earth. Florida gathers hers under
God's own hea veil and finds it colored
by the royal sun himself, flavored by
the dew and blessed by the stars.
Watch the stands at the fair and see if
oranges were ever fairer or sweeter.
Lift your faces as the freight cars pass
and then wonder whether ambrosia
ever gave such promise of the gladness
of heaven as those long trains leave on
the perfume laden air."
