IV
New York, Aug. 16. ? Justices Mc
Kean, Dtsul soil Mayo, in the Court of
Special Sessions, to-day ientenced

for thirty days, and by so doing set on

Science healiug.

physician.

Byrne, gave notice to the court of an
appeal from the sentence. Mr. Steele
announced that he would carry the case
to the United S'ates Supreme Court, if
necessary. Byrne has oo money, and it Is
understood about the criminal courts'
building that the expenses of the forth
coming legal contest will be borne by

make a ti?.'h[ for a big share of the
steamship business ou the Yukoo and
tributaries, ic conjunction with through
shipments From the outaLle, is now a
certainty. The proposition is purely a
commercial enterprise launched on the
judgment of the biciters, who believe
they see bright prospect* of a big
future for Interior Alaska and Yukon
within the next five years.
The two shipping concerns most
heavily interested in the project are
those of Sesnon and Bullock. They
have control of a big string of great
ocean carriers and have a'realy taken
over several river steamers outside.
The only delay so far has been the or
gan nation of the rivt-r fleet. If possi
ble the greater nuinoer of craft will be
.purchased. If suitable steamers cannot
be found, contracts will be let this fall
for the construction of new boats in
Washington and Oregon.

Oscar Urowu who was suddenly takeu |
ill several days ago while a guest at. the
Uegina, and becauie violently iusaue,
died iu the insane ward at the barracks
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The man wos in a violent condition
uutil ha pecime too weak to exert him
self, and after that stubbornly refused
to allow any food to be forced through
bis lips.
The man eaine here as a solicitor for
the circuhtion department of the San
Francisco Examiner, and was In town
but one day when he was taken ill. He
had a few papers showing where be
formerly lived. One letter from a
young woman was written from an
Indiana town. The Sin Francisco Kx
aminer will be communicated with by
tne police regarding the man's death. ?

Brown was Id Skagway before he
<veut to Dawson and made contracts
with several people for the Examiner.

a grout work'. Seward went to his
grave hearing "roasts" oil his Alaska
policy- roasts that were simply false
prophecies, fie coulil do nothing to
defend himself. At that time Alaska
was an unknown quantity, an inchoate
wilderness, as It still Is to a large ex
| tent. 'Hit' following from Leslie's
Weekly Is quite apropos:
Jane 2D. 1W7. the fortieth anniversary of
the Jay on which the A! ad kit annexation
i treaty Went Into operation. Is a date
ni rk of great Importance to the United
States. When shortly before his death.
' In 1ST!, William H. Seward was asked
! what ho believed to be the greatest j
achl . enient of his public career, he an
awen .!. "The annexation of Alaska." He
Added. however, "But the American peo
ple will not grasp the value of that ac
quisition for a third of u century yet."
This shows that Seward, the empire
builder, was also a prophet. Seward has
: been dead for thirty-five years, und It Is
' only in recent times that his countrymen
have appreciated the lnipoitan.ee of Alas
ka as a possession. Strong opposition wag
offered In the house of representatives In
1x17 to making the appropriation of 57,
Swo.uwi. the price which Seward paid to
; Russia for the province. Said one of an
taxation's opponents In that chamber.
"All that Alaska will ever bo able to pro
duce are polar bears and Icebergs." For
Several > ears a nickname for the region
was "Seward's Folly." But time has vln.
dlcaled Seward.
Orchard.
Since that HI starred performance of
Annuius aud his spouse Sapphire no
such liar as Orchard has appeared
atuu.._' men. Sydney Smith, of witty
and therefore of blessed memory, once
declared that a certain English chief
just I e v. as *. great fraud because no
body could by any possibility be as
wise i.> that man looked. Since Adam
uud E \ e partook of the forbidden fruit,
whence all our woes, there have been
many bad men In this world, bnt not
one so bad as Orchard represents him
self to t>e. If they will keep him on
the witness stand long enough, he will
probably claim thut he Is the mysteri

j One of the unfortunate features or
necessities of criminal procedure Is the
fact that sometimes the evidence of

I secure righteous convictions. As pros

Whether any Bourbon blood flows In
the veins of Czar Nicholas I do not
know, not being a genealogist, but It
may be safely asserted that he pos
sesses one of the Bourbon characteris
tics- he learns nothing. That fact Is
quite likely to cost him his "throne,
perhaps bis head also. If history
teaches any one thing more than an- ;
other, It is that when a great people
make up their minds to be free they
will sooner or later succeed, now many
English tyrants dissolved how many
English parliaments is not at litis mo
ment remembered, but parliaments
continued to assemble, and after revo- ;
lutlous and bloodshed, some of royal
blood, there convened a parliament
which was master of the king, and
Englishmen were free. Charles I. was
much such a man as Nicholas, and ev- j
erybody knows what happened to him. ;
The story"~of England was in many re
spects repeated in France later on.
Louis XVI. was au amiable sort of
king as kings go. He spent his leisure
In making locks to such au esteut that
he caine to be known as "the lock
smith." He seems to have possessed
the dewiest Ic and private virtues to a
sented a bad system, and he lost his
head for It. The sins of his ancestors
were visited upon him. Talleyrand said
that Louis made a dozen con cessions
to t 1h people any one of which would
have saved his life and his throne had
it beef made- twenty-four hours sooner.
