WOMAN’S LIFE IN DAWSON. Writes Interestingly of Her Experience In a Queer Klondike Tent. Mrs. M. R. Hill has written an inter¬ esting letter to her mother at Nyaek, N. Y., fnm the Klondike. Mrs. Hill, after her marriage, went with her husband to seek gold. She has had many thrilling experiences and gone through much hardship. Mrs. Hall is one of the few women in the gold region, and aids her husband in pros¬ pecting. Her mother has received sev¬ eral gold nuggets, which Mrs. Hill found. Mrs. Hill writes from Dawson, on December 12. She tells of going from Dawson to Stampede Gulch, a dis¬ tance of seventeen miles, one Sunday. It was "just about freezing.” She cam back on Wednesday and It was then 20 degrees below zero. It was 25 below when they reached Dawson. “I walked back in five hours,” she writes. “I had on a fur cap and it came down around my neck and ears and over my forehead to my eyes. I had a veil, folded four times, tied around the lower pant of my face. I wore a short dress, moccasins, leg- gins and a heavy cape. I did not feeS the cold, but I was just white witl frost, and a neighbor had to tear the things from me. From that time on the thermometer kept going down un¬ til it got to the bottom, 45 below. This lasted for a week, and then it grew warmer, until now it is about at the freezing point. "I believe we get a little sun yet, but where I am we can’t see it It Is dark at 4 p. m. and light at 9 a. m. While waiting for spring, so that we can prospect again, we try to sleep thirteen hours out of the twenty-four, and then wonder what we will do the remainder of the day. “We have had some snow, but not as much as usual. It is about eight indies deep now. The prices of pro¬ visions still advance. There is plenty of food, but the companies keep the prices up, and it costs a miner $5 a day to live. “I do not intend to leave here until I have made a fortune, This life agrees with me and I am actually get¬ ting fat. The trouble with many here is that they get discouraged too soon and give it up. I am one of the few women here who entered to stick to it until we ‘strike it rich.’ “Our house it a tent fixed up on boards to make the walls six feet high. It is 10x17 inside. Outside it is boarded up to the eaves, and about seven inches of sawdust packed be¬ tween the boards and tent. Then we have six inches of dead air space be¬ tween the tent roof, and then another canvas roof. We have a flat ceiling of canvas and a board floor. We have a door and two windows, and manage to live comfortably.” Forestalled. The young woman seemed to feel an impulse to turn her head, and she yielded to it. Imediately behind her in the hurry¬ ing crowd she saw a man whose glit¬ tering eye was fixed with maniacal glare upon the glossy braid of hair that hung down her back. “So, sir,” she said, with a self pos¬ session rare in one so immature, “you are watching for a chance to cut and run, are you?” For a moment longer he gazed at the shining braid, and then he turned away. “ ’Tis false!” he muttered, and then he vanished in the crowd.—Chicago Tribune.

BEVERIDGE HAD TO STRUGGLE WHEN YOUNG. A ?roteg;e of the Lnte Senator Mc¬ Donald-Once u Cowboy on the ’West¬ ern ritiiut)—Worked Ills Way Through College* Senator-elect Beveridge of Indiana is a native of Ohio. He was born Oct. 6, 1862, in Highland county. His father and all of his brothers were in the union army, and his mother devoted all her time during the rebellion to gathering provisions for the union sol¬ diers. At the close of the war Mr. Beveridge’s fqther lost all of his prop¬ erty and became heavily involved in debt. The family was forced to give up the farm in Ohio and moved to Illi¬ nois. There Mr. Beveridge’s life from the age of 12 was one of great privation, hardship and toil. At 12 years of age he was a plowboy, at 14 he was work¬ ing' as a laborer, at railroad construc¬ tion, and doing the work to which the strongest men were assigned, such as driving an old-fashioned scraper. At 15 he became a logger and team¬ ster, and by reason of his natural com¬ mand of men was placed in charge of a logging camp. He made his way H -=sr ps***' ■J V mb w v; SENATOR BEVERIDGE, through the high school of the town in which he lived by entering the fall and winter terms late and quitting early each year and by working nights and mornings. Edward Anderson, a friend of Bev¬ eridge’s, who now lives in North Da¬ kota, loaned him ?50, and on this he entered De Pauw University. He be¬ came the steward of a college club, and in this way passed through his first year, at the end of which he began by merit to win for himself the series of prizes in scholarship, philosophy, science and oratory, which, by the end of his college course, amounted to enough to pay two years of his ex¬ penses. He entered college late in the term each year and quit early, giv¬ ing every moment of his vacation to unremitting work. As a result of this the young man’s health gave way, and at the end of his college course he was quite ill. To recover his health he went to the plains of western Kansas and eastern Colorado, and for some time lived with the cowboys, who be¬ came, in all the ranches, his fast friends. Finally, feeling that his health was sufficiently restored, he went to In¬ dianapolis and was given the privilege of studying law in the office of Joseph E. McDonald. During the first year of his study of law young Beveridge had so little money that he lived on two meals a day much of the time. At the end of the first year the firm of McDonald & Butler offered him their managing clerkship, with all the duties of the third partner on his shoulders. He declined to accept on the ground that he had not studied law long enough. Senator McDonald replied that if they could stand it he should be able to. Beveridge’s first case before a jury was in the United States Court, with Gen¬ eral Harrison and his firm on the other side. The case lasted many days, during which the day set for Mr. BeV- eridge’s wedding to Miss Katherine Langsdale of Greencastle arrived, and Judge Woods adjourned court. Beveridge went to Greencastle, was married, returned that night to In¬ dianapolis, and next morning was again in court to attend to his case. His first argument before a tribunal of justice was in the Supreme Court of Indiana, upon a question involving the constitutionality of a statute. During the time that Mr. Beveridge remained with the firm of McDonald & Butler he had exclusive charge of many of the important cases of that firm, and was consulted by Senator McDonald in every case of importance. After his experience with McDonald & Butler, Mr. Beveridge began the practice of law himself. In his pro¬ fession jie has been successful, having been engaged in cases of the greatest Importance, such as the one involving the power of the legislature and gov¬ ernor to appoint the oil and mine in¬ spectors, and the state statistician, In Governor Hovey’s time, which case at¬ tracted the attention of the bar throughout the country; the famous state railway tax case, in which he made the argument in the Supreme Court; he wrote the brief filed in the Supreme Court of the United States in the Pennsylvania cases, involving the question of taxing railroad property in indianato the value of $150,000,000, and in the life insurance tax case he made an argument which was widely repro¬ duced throughout the country. Why does the bad skater always blame It on his skates? JEKYL ISLAND DEER. Swim Across St. Simon „ Sound in Search of Food. It has always been claimed that the game on Jekyl Island would not leave the island, but reports from St. Si¬ mon’s come to the effect that numbers of the deer are swimming across St. Simon’s sound and landing on the beach near Ocean pier, says the Sa¬ vannah (Ga.) News. The result of this is that numerous hunters are get¬ ting shots and enjoying venison in such quantities as they have never en¬ joyed that delicacy before. It seems that the deer on Jekyl have increased so numerously within the past few years that thfey are no longer wholly wild, but at night come up around the clubhouse and play around the flowers. Their depredations on the choice beds of the millionaires’ favorite plants be¬ came so troublesome that a strong wire fence was built and now incloses some acres of the ground immediately around the clubhouse. This kept the deer away from the flowers, but it did not do anything toward stopping them from increasing in numbers. When the storm came it carried away lots of the vegetation that the deer had been feeding on, and there was not enough left to go around. The deer then com¬ menced to figure on going off to get something to eat, and It ended in their seeking St. Simon’s. It is a good swim across the sound to St. Simon’s beach, but they made it, and now the hunters string along the coast and watch for them to come. Sometimes men are in boats crossing the sound, and see the deer coming. A chase en¬ sues over the water, and frequently the deer turn back toward the Jekyl shore and seek refuge in the woods of the island. They seem to know that no one is allowed to place his feet on Jekyl without permission from the club, and in this their instinct tells them that it is better to swim a long way back and get safe on Jekyl than it is to swim even a short way to St. Simon’s and then run the risk of be¬ ing hunted by men on foot and horse¬ back after they get there. It is a novel state of affairs, but it is safe to say that one-half of the .deer could leave Jekyl and there would still be enough left for the millionaire sports who visit that place to have all they wanted to shoot at. “DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP.” The famous Captain Lawrence, who shouted “Don’t give up the ship” at a critical period in our naval history, is to be honored by having his name attached to the hull of a new torpedo- boat destroyer ordered by the govern¬ ment, and the woman who will hail her as "Lawrence” is a New York girl selected by the Secretary of the navy. The young lady to whom this honor thus appropriately falls is Miss Ruth Lawrence of 285 Lexington avenue, who is a descendant of Captain James Lawrence, commander of the Chesa- peake in the war of 1812, for whom the new destroyer is named. Miss Law¬ rence comes of an old American fam¬ ily, dating back to colonial days. Sev¬ eral of her ancestors distinguished themselves in the colonial wars and the war of the revolution. She is a daughter of Abraham T '. Lawrence, for over twenty-five 'years justice of the United States Supreme Court. Miss Lawrence takes an active part in wom¬ an’s affairs in this city, being a prom¬ inent member of the Colonial Dames of the state of New York, an incorpo¬ rator of the Little Sisters of the Quill. She is author of a book of “Colonial Verses” and writes short stories and poems for various periodicals. At the outbreak of the war with Spain Miss Lawrence volunteered as a. nurse, but lacked the necessary experience. She has traveled extensively and her so¬ cial standing as a member of the old Lawrence family is acknowledged. As a souvenir of her illustrious kins- ft \\ /i t A MISS RUTH LAWRENCE, man Miss Lawrence cherishes some pieces of the hull of the old Chesa¬ peake, still dotted with the shot of the Shannon, with which she fought in the memorable conflict off Boston har¬ bor, when her brave commander, mor¬ tally wounded, with his expiring breath cheered on his crew with the now famous sentence: "Don’t give up ,tbe ship.” That sentence is one of the treasures of the navy, the latest addi¬ tion being the famous bulletin of Ad¬ miral Dewey: “Immediately engaged the enemy and captured the follow¬ ing.” No Comparison. “I suppose,” said Uncle Jerry Pee¬ bles, "the hottest place on earth is the stokehole of an iron battleship in ac¬ tion.” "There is one hotter,” re- marked Uncle Allen Sparks. “It’s the place where a young husband sits when he carves his first turkey for company.”—-Detroit Free Press. POWER OF A JUDGE. EDITOR 13 PUT IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT. Boston Newspaper Criticises a Court and Its Author Is Made to Suffer— One of the Dangerous Signs of the Times. For contempt of court, a Boston edi¬ tor is serving thirty days in jail in Dedham, Mass. It is the first time the staid New England city has been face to face with a question involving, as it does, the freedom of the press, and there is great interest in the outcome. The technical offense of Torrey E. Wardner, who is editor of the Boston Traveler, Is publishing comments upon a trial before its adjudication by the jury, but the story behind the whole matter would show that Judge Sher¬ man, who sentenced the editor, is avenging himself for sharp criticism of his actions on the bench published in the Traveler. It was claimed by the Traveler that Judge Sherman had sharply cross-examined the defendant in a case in which the newspaper had interested Itself as against a railroad corporation, and that the court had afterward realized the error of his ways and had apologized when taken to task by the attorney for the de¬ fense. The Traveler referred to this as “Judge Sherman’s Bad Break,” and this seemed to anger his honor to such an extent that he sent for Editor Tor¬ rey, and when the latter declared he would stand by everything his paper had said, Judge Sherman sentenced him to thirty days in jail for contempt. The Traveler is a 1-cent afternoon paper of the type commonly designat¬ ed as “sensational.” It is published on n : *VW v Hi •7 % Z W iju 7 l \ W 1 m ll iura m 7 ,h ilh / « i- 'i I m 7 I w i IV I m a 7 7 1 EDITOR TORREY E. WARDNER. pink paper and has screaming head¬ lines and many editions every after¬ noon. For some time the paper has seen fit to criticise the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com¬ pany on every occasion, and this fight is really back of the present trouble of Editor Torrey. Last August there was a bad acci¬ dent near Sharon station, on the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail¬ road. One section of a passenger train crashed into the rear of the section pre¬ ceding it. Five persons were killed and eighty-seven injured. The engineer of the second section, Daniel W. Get- chell, was arrested and indicted for manslaughter, it being charged that he had “feloniously and willfully killed Franklin M. Waters of Somer¬ ville.” Waters was one of the passen¬ gers. Getchell was discharged by the railroad, which maintained that the red danger signals were properly set on the block in which the first section was, and that it was Getchell’s fail¬ ure to properly use the brakes which caused the accident. Getchell admit¬ ted that the signals were all right, and declared that he had used all the brakes, but that they were out of or¬ der and would not hold the train. Here was the issue, and the Traveler took up Getchell’s fight. On Dec. 14 Getchell was put on trial before Judge Sherman in the Superior court of Norfolk county, that being the county in which the accident had taken place, and the Traveler began his defense in its news columns. Court convened in the town of Dedham. In the introduction to the day’s story published in the paper of Dec, 14 was the following: “A lonely looking figure in that courtroom was Getchell. The hand of every man In the pay of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company seemed to be raised against him. He felt that all the complex ma¬ chinery at the command of the power¬ ful corporation, which he had served faithfully for seventeen years, had been set in motion to secure his con¬ viction. He felt, too, that in their anx¬ iety to screen their own shortcomings and divert public attention his late em¬ ployers had made him a scapegoat.” On the following day there appeared in the Traveler the editorial which os¬ tensibly was the basis for the editor’s sentence. The next day the jury found Getchell guilty and sentenced him to two years at hard labor, and the ver¬ dict was not commented on by the Traveler. Better face a ctaiaifcr tbmn a fmsr. VICTIM OF “TELEPATHY.” Curious Condition * DU not'd by the Cse of Cocaine. There came to me late one night a stranger, In wildest despair, resolved to commit suicide that night If I could not help him, says Professor Munster- berg in the January Atlantic. Ho hart been a physician, hut had given up his practice because his brother, on the other side of the ocean, hated him and had him under his telepathic influ¬ ence, troubling him from over the sea with voices which mocked him and with impulses to foolish actions. He had not slept nor had he eaten' any¬ thing for several days, and the only chance for life he saw was that a new hypnotic Influence might overpower the mystical hypnotic forces. I soon found the Source of his trouble. In treating himself for a wound he had misused cocaine in an absurd way, and the hallucinations of voices were the chief symptoms of his cocainism. These products of his poisoned brain had sometimes reference to his brother in Europe, and thus the telepathic sys¬ tem grew in him and permeated his ' whole life. I hypnotized him, and sug¬ gested to him with success to have sleep and food and a smaller dose of cocaine. Then I hypnotized him daily for six weeks. After ten days he gave up cocaine entirely, after three weeks the voices disappeared, and after that the other symptoms faded away. It was not, however, until the end that the telepathic system was exploded. Even when the voices had gone, he for a while felt his movements controlled over the ocean, and after six weeks, when I had him quite well again, he laughed over his telepathic absurdities, but assured me that if these sensations came again he should he unable, even in full health, to resist the mystical interpretation,, so vividly had he felt the distant influences. STARVED SIXTY-FIVE DAYS. A. D. Hendrickson of Janesville, Wis., has for sixty-five days partaken of no food, and there is no telling when he will. Mr. Hendrickson is 81 years old, hut his long fast does not seem to disturb him in the least. He says he feels perfectly well and is not at all hungry. The case is attracting the attention of physicians and is said to be with¬ out its like in the records. On Dec. 1 the octogenarian was stricken with paralysis. For several days he was unable to eat, hut he soon recovered the use of his muscles. He then re¬ fused food and has lived on water ever since. His pulse is normal, he sleeps well and seems in no need of nourishment. Of course he could be forced to take food, but his family is disinclined to adopt extreme measures so long as the patient is in no appar¬ ent need of nutriment.
