A* seated ia The Alaskan recently,
the address nude by Judge Wickersham
in atfeiw ? f \l-<ka is having a telling
effect on the outside. The following,
talteD from The Portland Oregonian,
shows tha", the Wickersham speech U
attract lag more than passing attention:
"Wickersham, in l^S, was of the
Pierce county delegation that elected
Addison G Foster to the United States
Senate and he went north as a Federal
judge to step into the bluest tight
Alaska has ever known. He has fought
<n season and out of season: Against
cliques. conspiracies and petty jealous
ies tor eight years. Now the Senate
can do as it pleases. If i> chooses to
confirm his appo ntme"Bt, well and
good: if not. Judge Wickersham said
today that he would let the tight go.
Judge Wickershani was in the Tanana
country wh_'n the gold discoveries of
that district were new and he owns ex
tensive mining interests that have
made him rich. He is independent of
a petty tight for office and wants an en
larged Seld The d?fi of Judge Wicker
sham ought really to be interpreted 'o
mean that he Cas found an enlarged
rteU for lighting, for he is of the type
of men who do not relisc inactivity.
"In his speech before th? State Har
Association last night, he declared he
was tired of being the government of
Alaska and weary of the Incessant de
mands of politics, U? declared he
wanted a chance to be 3 judge and de
nounced the |>eople of this^state for cot
co-operating in the fight to gtiu power
for Alaska citizens.
"Judge Wickershani has really cast
off al! restraint acd is ti.'hting out and
out for Alaska. His bar association
speech bitterly arraigned the law gov
ernir Alaska that srrants the judicia-y
powi j outline commissioners' dis
tricts and direct the l?w eoforcetuaot
powers aud he iuMsted that the >bs
kaos w.'r<- governed L> v a legal despot
Ism sanctioned by Congress "
A WARNING
A warning to nagging wives Is found
in tho case of Elmer Hayes, of Maine,
who died recently after being insane
twenty ye;irs. Hayes' story is ludeed ,
touching, lie was a happy-go lucky j
bachelor for some years. He chewed. :
smoked, drank a little and now undj
agaiu played seven-tip. Mrs. Hayes
began on him by stopping his chewing.
When she had succeeded in this sh
next tackled his smoking. 'Haves
"cut it out" to make peace. The wife's
next reform stopped the drinking.
Next seven-up went down before the
! persistent lady. He was much de
pressed in spirit. Finally one day he
* a,- digging tishing worms in order to
{el a little rest down along the creek
aw*y from his life companion. But he
w >s discovered in the act. The onions
had not been hoed, and any man that
would dig "fishin" worms when the
garden needed hoeing wasn't any man
at all. When Haves ?'as CJufronted
with this charge he became mad. and
!ur twenty years he he has hoed onions
in his cell in the insane asylum.
A bullet came (lying through the car
window in which Judge Alton B.
Parker was riding while on a train in
Virginia the other day, passed cloie to
the judge's head and buried itself in
the opposite side of the car. Judge
Parker had a good deal closer call from
the bullet of accident than he did from
the billet of presidency. That missed
him by a mile or more -vitnout dodging.
Pr?tty Sight
The officers of the Princess Rjyal
declare that one of the prettiest sights
! imaginable is their boat when it is
leaving port, lighted from end to tnd.
I'l'he boat will get away at V* o'clock
| tonight and doubtless many will be at
the dock to see her off.

SUPERSTITIOUS DOCTOR
Menlo Park,f"al., July 24? Commjod
el to exhume the amputated le? of a
orakecnan, who was run over ob this
division recently, in order that the ?hoe
might be removed from the foot, was
the experiecce of section foreman Geo.
Cross and Conductor James Mclniyre of
the local freight. This order, which
was given by doctors in high authority
in the hospital in San Francisco, has
revealed a decidedly unscientific and
superstitious belief upon the partof the
surgeons. According to the story told
by the two railroad men who disinterred
the amputated leu, they were ordered to
dj so by the doctors in the hope that the
wonnd of the patient might heal. It
was known that the victim of the acci
dent was s'ow in recovering.
Oq what theory the doctors were
worKin? when they ordered the disin
terment o! the limb is a mystery to all
here. Many are of the conviction thai
the act was prompted by an old. absurd
superstition.

confidence men have taken more than
$1,000,000 from wea'.thy Pittsburgers
by means of a c'ever, but ancient "bun
co" game, wa9 given yesterday after
noon before Ald;rraan Stephen J. Toolo
by D. C. Davis, a wealthy banker and
oil operator of Marietta, Ohio.
Davis, himself, declared he was vic
timized to the extent of 876,003 and that
in bis eagerness to beat the game he
had chartered a special train on the
Pennsylvania railroad to takeblin from
Xew York to Marietta, where he quick
ly obtained the last #25,000 which he
lost.
Oavis says a house just otT Columbus
avenue, New York, was the scene of
the swindle. To this lesort, he says,
scores of other persons have been taken
from Pittsburg anil vicinity and there
relieved of all their ready cash by means
of a brace faro game. Davis said that
he kuew of a* least two men who were
completely ruined financially by the
trio of alleged coutidence men.
