N01 WORTH THE CANDLE
Seattle, Jan. 8.? United Statu Dis
trict Attorney Nathan V. Harlan of
the third judicial division of Alaska
will, according to prlvats telegrams re
ceived here last night, resign his posi
tion. Harlan's health is not the best
and he has left Waahlngton for his
home in Nebraska to recuperate.
Moreover, Harlan has, it appears, come
to the conclusion that the job he bolds
Is not worth fighting for, under all the
circumstance*.
It ii reported that the charges
against Harlan will be dropped when
bll resignation baa been filed at Waah
logton.
Tbe entire trouble appear* to have
arisen out of the praotlce, under tbe
Alaska code of district attorneys and
their subordinates accep'iog fees in
private practice. This, it Is believed,
will be done away with.
Govervor Hogsratt has gone on rec
ord agatnsithe present regime and has,
it is declared, made a single handed
fight for a reorganization of the federal
service along new and cleaner lines.

to Alaska, in that it will (jive people
another point of direct communication j
and enable them to take advantage of
competition from the merchants of
that city.
| General Manager Alexander says
that the propoied arrangement be
tween ReynoMs and certain shippers
i in Alaska, whereby the latter were
, promised something in the way of re
bates payable in stock, has not been
considered by the new stockholders of
the Alaska Coast company, nor has
any act on been taken by the board of
' directors ratifying any such proposed
. action by Mr. Reynolds, consequently 1
the company cannot recognize any ar

company.

ROMANCE OF EDITH VAN HEN
? A CHARACTER OF THE KLONDIKE
Many old t'mers will recall Mist i
Edith V*n Buren, who stent to Dawson i
in 1899 with Mrs. Hitchcock, of New |
York, aod remained for one summer
season. She made a tour of the world
after leaving Dawson and while (ravel
In? in Europe, she was wooed by a
Neapolitan count with a grandiose
name, and was married to him. Later
she found he not only wai not a titled
aristocrat, but a common brigand who
had ' done time." The story as told
In one of the New York newspapers
follows:
The beautiful Countess dl Castelmsn
ardo, who was Miss Edith Van Buren,
of New York, has appeared In tbo court
of appeals In Naples testifying to her
"noble" husband's rapacity and cruclty
and has obtained a legal seperatloo
from him.
It was a shock to the young wife to
find that her husband's title was bogus
when she was married to him In Nice
?even years ago, and to preserve her
dignity and self-respect, ah# spent
|4,000 to gala the count a certalu legal
right to tbe name be had appropriated.
But great aa was this disillusionment
the oounteu' dismay was far greater
when she learned from the Naples
police that the man whom she had
married was a Cammorlst or bindlt,
who had undergone penal servitude,
and who Is still subject to polloe sur
veillance.
After tbelr marriage she soon found
out hU true character. On one
or other pretence h 3 induced her to
pay all the expenses of the bridal trip.
Evea after she had bought hia title for
him, his brutality increased, the count
ess said. He made protracted trips to
Monte Carlo and there passed off aa
his wife a notorious detni-mqulaln
of Genoa.
Finally at the urgency of her broth
er, the American consul at Nice, she
caused bU arrest Id Genoa Inst year.
He was convicted of unfatbfulnea6 aud
cruelty and sent9nctd to three month's 1
imprisonment ard to pay the co3te of
aotion
The Countess dl Castlemenardo Is the 1
great grand-aleo* of the late Gen ,
Thomas B. Van Buren, formerly Amer- J
loan minister at ToVlo. Her mother
was the daughter of Joseph Sheffield, '
who founded the Sheffield Scientific ,
school at Yale; she was a niece by
marriage of tbe late William Walte?
Phelps.
