Warning to Intending Prospect• ors From Dawson City. A letter received from Dawson City says:—"There are chances here for an active man to make money, but living is very high. A shave costs 50c and a Mair cut $1. The weather is just like Manitoba. only we have November in October, and April weather in May. Some of the mines are very rich, but moat of them are not prospected as yet. In some spots they go as high as $800 to the 'pan, and one of the mine owner s offered to wager $10,000 that he could pick a pan in 10 minutes t hat would go $17,000, and no person would take hits np. But people had better not come here with t he idea that every person, one in ten thousand even, will do the same, or they will be fooled bad- ly. There are any number of old tun- ers who have been hers fr o.n three to ten years, and have never made more than a living so far. Nearly all the creeks within fifty miles of Dawson are staked, but I think a good many will be open early in the summer for re- location, as it costs so much to repre- sent them, that is, to stay on them fur thtpe months each year, or get some one else to stay on for you. There are about 6,000 people in here just now, and 1800 claims t ecorded, and as each man can record a claim in each district - you can see that there are lots of them waiting for chances." A Lumberman's Life. Constantly Exposed to Inclement Weather. He Falls An Easy Victim to Rheumatism and Kindred Troubles --A Twenty Years' 'Sufferer.. Tells How He Found Release. From the Richibucto. N.B.,Review. Mr W. Murray, of Cormiersyille, N. B., is an old and rtapected farmer, and a pion- eer settler of the thriving little village he now makes his home. While ho was yet a young man, he, together with his father and brother, founded one of the best mill properties toga seen in those early flays, The mills consisted of a sawmill and grist- uiill,end was operated and managed by the two brothers. Labor saying appliances be- ing then compararively unknown,theyoung men were exposed to great dangerand diffi- cnities'almost unknown to the pressnt gen- ation. One of the greatest evils in connec- tion with the business was exposure to wet cold,whicb,though unheeded at the time, bas -crippled its victims with rheumatism. In a late conversation regarding his disease, Mr Murray .told the following tale of his long misery and final euro by the ase of Dr Williams' Pink Pills: "For over 20 years I Bayo itfeen a sufferer fr ene.rbeumatism. I attribute the cause of the disease to the time when as a young man I worked at our mills: In the winter we would haul logs on the pond where the alternate thaws and frosts of early spring would imbed them in the ice and slush. When the time came for starting np the mill I would go oat on the pond sometimes in water up to my knees knees and work away from morning to night chopping logs out of the slush and ice. I was generally wet from head to foot and every second night of the week I would without changing my clothes, stay up and rim the mill till daybreak. So yon see I was for two days at a time in a suit of par- tially wet clothes, and thud would last till the ice had melted in the pond. After a few years rheumatism fastened itself upon me as a reward for this indisoretion, and ever increasing in its malignity it at last became do bad -that for weeks in succession could only go about with the aid of crut- ches. At other times I was able to hop about the house by the use of two canes,and again at other times it would ease off a lit- tle and I was able to do a little work, but oonld never stand it for more than a couple bones at a time. The least bit of walking would overcome me and I remember ono stormy night when I tried ,to walk from Cocange bridge to my home, a distance of 5 miles, that I had to sit down by the road- side six times to ease the terrible pain that had seized my legs. Daring all those years of agony i think I tried all the patent mod - 'fumes I could get a hold of,bntthey did me ncegood'at all. I consulted doctors, but my sufferings remained undismiesed. In the fall of 1895 I went to a doctor in Buis. touobe to see if there were any means by which I might at least be eased of lay suf- ferings. The doctor said franklyy, "Mr Mar. ray, yon cannot be cured, nothing can cure you.I was not satisfied and then I de- termined to.try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I procured half a dozen boxes and began taking them at once. I soon felt a change' for the better and after my supply bed been finished I got another half dozen boxes and continued taking them according to direo • Eons. That dozen boxes was all I took and you see me now. I am alive and emart and can do any kind of work. I did my farming this spring, and could follow the plow for days without feeling any rhoumat- io pains. Yes, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did me a world of good, and I etrongly req - commend them as a etre for rhetimatisml. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills create new blood, build np the nerves, and thus drive disease from the system.

THE DUCKING STOOL 15 STILL AVAIL- ABLE IN SOME STATES. In Law Latin There Was No Word For Malo €ommon Scold --Woman Indicted In Jersey City In 1889 as a Common Scold. Not only is the common scold still with- in the purview of laws against routs and riots and favoring tranquility of the viol - nage, but it Is held that the ducking stool is yet a moans of punishment should somo appreciative Pennsylvania judge have the nerve to decree a renewal of its use. Fine and Imprisonment are the modern refuge against the shrewish. No judge would care to return to the old ways, for the gossips might wonder over his woman hatred and the public might think ho was getting personal. It is likely that few people know that the dunking stool was once employed in Pittsburg. It is held that women had more grounds for scolding in pioneer days than now, and hence the stool should again be brought into requisition. Tho English settlers brought to the United Status the duckling stool as an im- plement of punishment, as they imported the common law. At Plymouth, whence the pilgrims sailed, can be seen today the old dunking stools. Even in 1808 a woman was ducked there. The Puritans brought over the common scold law, and it was adopted in New Jersey and Delaware. In 1880 tho grand jury of Jersey City indicted Mrs. Mary Brady as a common scold. It was found to bo there, as bore, still an indictable offense, and that the ducking stool was yet available as a means of pun- ishment, not having been specifically, abolished by the revised statutes. Tho stool was used in Virignia, for Bishop Meade, in his "Old Churches, Ministers and Families In Virginia" writes of ducking scolds from a vessel In the James river. From the Old Dominion the practice of thus treating scc!ldsreached Pittsburg. It would bo digressing to re- peat tho history of tbo establishment of courts in this city by Virginia, which be- gan Fob. 21, 1776. On tho second day of that court, the birthday of George Wash- ington, then but 43, the sheriff was order- ed to employ workmen to build a ducking stool at the confluence of the Ohio with the Monongahela. By patient delving ono win dig up much curious information about the ducking stool. Allusions to it recur in English chronicles all through the, sixteenth, sev- enteenth and eighteenth centuries. Scold- ing women in these olden times were deemed offondors against the public peace. Blackstone in his "Commentaries" treats of the common scold in his chapter on "Public Wrongs." After discussing of- fenses of graver degree his prelude is, "To descend next to offenses whose punish- ment Is short of death." Those offenses are such, ho says, "as annoy the whole community in general, and not merely some particular portion, and therefore aro indictable, not actionable, as it would be unreasonable to multiply suite by giving every man a separate right of action for what damnifies him in common only with the rest of his fellow subjects." Then the great jurist treats of sbx•:lasses of public nuisances and concludes: "Last- ly, a common scold, communis rixatrix (for our law Latin confines it to the fem- inine gender), is a public nuisance to her neighoorhood. Sho may be indicted, and if convicted placed in a curtain engine of correction, called the trebucket, castiga- -tory or ouoking stool, which in the Saxon language is said to signify the scold stool, though now it is frequently &irrupted into' ducking stool because the residue of the judgment is that when she is so placed theroin.sho shall bo plunged in dater for her punishment." Blackstone was a better jurist than ety-• urologist. There was in even as early as the fifteenth century the punishment of sitting in the tucking stool for using short weights, selling bad ale and scolding, but it Was a chair dY disgrace placed in front of the offender's own homy. In the lapse of time the cocking and the duck'irfg stool became synonymous. In his "Travois In Englhand" »i 1700 Mission writes: "Tho way of punlebing soolding women Is pleasant enough.' They fasten an armchair to the end of two beams, 12 or 15 fent long and parallel to each other, so that these two pieces of wood with their two ends embrace the chair, which bangs between them upon a sort of axle, by which means it plays free- ly and always remains in the natural hor- izontal position in which the chair should be, that a person may sit conveniently in it, whether you raise it or let It down. They set up a post on the bank of a pond or river, and over this post they lay, al- most in equilibrium, the two pianos of wood, at one end of which the chair hangs over the water." The English poets have had their tiniuste at the ducking stool, when their eyes in fine frenzy rolling seorn to have caught in- spiration from the temper of the shrew. In 1665, in "Homer a la Mode," the pont sings: • She belonged to Billingsgate And oftentimes bad rid to state And sat in the bottom of a pod) Enthroned in a ducking stooL West wrote a complete pootn on the stool In 1780, tho philosophy of which lies in the extracted couplet: No brawling.yyives, np furious wenches, No fire so BOB but water quenchers. All through England there wardy the stools used for ducking scolds. There was one at Rugby, and in 1820 a Baan was dunked for beating his wife. Court rec- ords reveal many instances where the pen- alty was inflicted on women. Tho chair used at Scarborough, Eng- land, is yet preserved. It was last used in 1795, when Mrs. Gamble was "ducked three times over the head and ears." In the museum at Ipswich is another. It has iron rode converging over the seat, with a ring through which to run a pole. In 1728 the constable of Morley charged 9 shillings for a polo. The stools In some cities were on wheels, and were called scolding carts. At Kingston-upon-Thames ducking was not infrequent, and the London net .n 1745 reports the ducking no '•., woman who keeps the Queen": :load alehouse for scolding, In t1.• ,,regency of 8,Ont• -„awe."

"In all my career as an artist on the dramatic stage," remarked Mr. Storming - ton Barnes, "I never knew but one oritio —that is to say, one real critic." "What do you mean by your idea of a real critic?" inquired the young man who likes to hear Mr. Barnes talk. "I mean a person of candid discrimina- tion; one who Is not to be blinded by per- sonal prejudice on his own side nor daz- zled by mere assumption on the part of others. Mere fluency of language does not suffice. Quiokness and aoouraoy of per- ception and courageous candor are the foremost essentials." "Where did you meet this phenomenon?" "It was in my early days in the far west. 'I was playing secondary parts. I blush to think of how I was compelled to subordinate my talents to the common- place and futile efforts of the man who played the leading roles. But he had -dis- covered financial booking. So I bowed to fate. How idle it is to say that art is not appreciated in the less oultured circles of society. Ono night we were playing "Richard III." I played Richmond. .Ah, me boy, you ought to have seen me play Richmond in those days! You would have understood how impossible it is to over- shadow true greatness, and I do not exag- gerate when I say that I was great in that part. It was after this performance I met the oritio to whom I refer. He was stand- ing in front of the hotel." "What did he say?" "I shall quote him in his own vernacu- lar. For simple directness of style, I have never mot his equal. Grasping me by the hand, he exclaimed: " 'Bordner, it served him right, and you've got the town with you.

Ed, Hoagland, a six-year man, serving a• sentence from Kent county for lar- ceny, escaped from his keeper at a point north of the prison, where he was piling lumber. His absence was not immediately discovered, but when it was the prison bloodhounds were turned loose, and they tracked him toward the city. They overtook him in the yard of James Hathaway, and be was recaptured and returned to prison. Whatever may be said to the practice of running down human be- ings with bloodhounds, it seems to be eminently successful in its effect, as this is the first attempt at escape since the dogs have been at the institution— period of nearly six months.
