Governor Melunis to Gover
nor Iloggatt
Dawson. July 11.? The public recep
tion tendered Hon. Wilfore Hoggatt,
governor of Alaska, at the Government
House, last evening by Governor and
Mrs. Mclnnis, was brilliant. It was
one of the most elaborate functions
held in Dawson.
Scores of Klondikers took the oppor
tunity of meeting the distinguished
visitor. All were pleasantly entertain
ed. The ceremonies were reduced to
almost nothing, but the assemblage
was in itself a happy gathering. The
palatial house was aglow with lights,
and bright effects were increased with
the help of flags and numerous potted
and cut Cowers.
The American ami the British
colors were entwined at nearly every
door, and were conspicuously ill Lvi-|
deuce at other points.

Tromsoe, Norway. June 23.? For the
second time within a dozen of years
Walter Welliuan, the American ex
plorer, is here completing preparations
for a dash into the polar region, which
lies at the very gates of this far north
ern town. If all goes well another
week or two will^see the little party of
intrepid Americans ready for their
airship flight over tho Arctic seas^with
the north pole as their goal.
The Norwegians are taking the keen
est interest in the Wellman expedition.
Aerial navigation is new to them but
Arctic exploration is not. They view
the American adventure kindly enough
but at the same time they wers true to
their idol, and their idol in Arctic
work, naturally enough, is the gallant
Dr. Nansen.

The Punishment of the Rnsriio.
lii foriuer Utiles tin* punishment of
the bagno (bathi, one of the most
cleverly cruel Inflictions ever devised
by uu official ot tlie torture cha m her,
was administered in Italy, probably it)
Venice, where the water of the lagoons
played so prominent u part iu i's penal
system. The punishment was as fol
lows: The prisoner was placed iu a
vat the sides of which were slightly iD
excess of the average height of a man
In order to hold in check the rising fide
of a supply of water which ran into
the vat In a constant stream the crimi
nal was furnished with a scoop with
which to bale out the water as fast a?|
It came in. The respite from death by
Immersion thus obtained was more or
less prolonged, according to the powers
of endurance possessed by the victim,
but imagine the mortal torture, the ex
hausting and even hideously grotesque
efforts, the incessant and pitiless toil
by night and day, to stave off the dread,
moment fast approaching, when, over
come by sleep and fatigue, he was un
able to struggle any longer against hi?
fate.

A ballad that won Instant fame
against the expectation and eveu the
wish of Its author was "Aukl Robin
Gray," written l>y Lady Auue Lindsay
about the end of the eighteenth century
merely for her own satisfaction to re
place the coarse verses of an old uielo
dy that pleased her. She sang charm
ingly, and the new ballad soon came
Into favor, (ireat was the curiosity
aroused as to the author of this pa
thetic song, in whose simple verses all
the elements of a heartrending tragedy
are contained, but Lady Anne, modest
and retiring by nature, preserved si
lence for many years, suiiliug, nc
doubt, at the controversy that raged sc
hotly. In the course of it her ballad
was attributed by .some disputants tc
David Rizx.io, declared by others to bt
a genuine sixteenth century production

"A long, low strip of land, a valley
between high hills, lies five miles out
side of Havaua. and there," said a
cigar salesman, "the best tobacco in
the world Is grown. The name of the
place Is Abajo, and the Vuelta Abajo
crops are always bought up two 01
three years in advance of their plant
ing. They yield only 35,000 cigars an
nually. These cigars sometimes sell as
high as $150 a hundred $1.50 apiece.
Vuelta Abajo cigars are only smoked
by kings and billionaires. There are
many fake Vuelta Abajos on the mar
ket, but the real thing, once smoked,
can never l>e mistaken, for there is no
other tobacco in the world with an
aroma at once so powerful and so del
icate."? New York Press.
