Howland Takes Her Schoolhouse and Books With Her Into the Land of Gold.

SAN FRAN'CISCO, Aug 11Among the passengers on the steamer Humboldt which sailed yesterday for Alaska was Mrs L. C. Howland. a Boston stung woman, and a recent graduate ofHarvard annex. She is accompanied by her husband and father-In-law.

Mrs Howland is well aware that Juvenile students are scarce in Dawson, so she Will look for pupils among the miners. Mrs Howland has talked with many persons who have returned from Dawson and has been informed that many of the men there would be glad of an opportunity to gain a little booklearning now that they are in a good way to become wealthy. Besides, during the long winter months, when little can be done in the way of digging gold, they would hail the establishment of a school as a desIrabL resource during the long hours of darkness. She carries the frame and all the material for a schoolhouse, ready to be put together. with books, slates, charts and other supplies.

Her husband will run a steamboat on the Yukon. TWO 1 000-0ATS WORK. Golden Proof of the Wonderful Find of the Graves Brothers on Coffee Creek Gravel Mine In California. Aug 11--G. B.

Graves and his brother arrived here yesterday with two bags of gold containing OW, which represents about one-half of their big pocket strike on the Coffee creek gravel mine last Thursday. They do not know yet exactly the value of the gold cleaned up from the pocket. It weighed 163 pounds avoirdupois. but they had nothing but an old bucket and steelyard to weigh it with. They think they must have 140,000 as the result of their one day's labor, and they are willing to size that up with the Klondike stories.

The largest piece was worth about 36000. but it soon crumbled to pieces when removed. The rich find was struck in a ledge at a depth of only 5 feet. The claims in the Coffee creek region have been showing fine specimens for months past, and this find of the Graves brothers only adds confirmation to the general faith in the permanent richness of the mines. BECOMING FRIGHTENED AT OUTLOOK Old Alaska Prospectors Apprehensive of Famine on Account of Headlong Rush to the Mines.

DYEA. Alaska, Aug' 4. via Seattle. Wash. Aug 11The Brit's It steamers Islander and Gees have arrived with about 500 prospectors, which Increases the number on the Dyea a nd Skaguay trails to fully 1500.

Later reports have come in to the effect that the Skaguay route is open to the lakes. and that It Is about 45 miles long. It is a zigzag course over the mountains. and the road is very soft. There are 200 or 800 head of horses in the trail, and they will soon tramp out the road.

which Is already in a deplorable condition. The probability of one Than In 10 reaching the Klondike is remote. Old Alaska prospectors, some of whom have wintered in the Yukon and know what to expect are becoming frightened ard are turning back. Not that they ftar the hardships. but they are hcrisive of famine on account of so many men rushing headlong to the mines without enough provisions to lust them two months.

The best evidence that those upon the ground regard the situation with more or less alarm is the fact that many are paying 20 cents per pound to have freight packed across Dyea puss. This Is an increase of three cents per pound since the sailing of the Alki. at which time 16 and 17 cents were charged. Twenty cents is the regular price over the Dyea or Chilkat pass route. This exorbitant charge is due to a scarcity of horses.

Without pack animals of some description it seems to be next to impossible at this season to get freight and outfits across the divide. WANTS THE ADVENTURE OF IT. Beautiful andIalented MrsAimee HerchtNeil to Seek Excitement in the Klondike God Region. NEV YORK. Aug 11The Klondike fever is spreading among women.

Beautiful and talented Mrs Aimee HerchtNeil is the latest victim of the gold crzze. She does not want to dig for gold; she desires to taste the adventurous life of a TIEW mining country, and study the strange types that will surely be found in the Alaskan gold regions. "Baroness Aimee," as this bright woman is termed by her friends, divides her time between literary pursuits and such athletic anitnemcnts as cross country riding. She has written some very CiUVer and stories for leading magazines, and has not only a repur.alion for her prowess in athletic sports, but not long ago she attempted to catch a burglar who had invaded her handseme home at Bogota, J. She is the granddaughter of Baron von Helmhoist and the daughter of a sculptor.

She says she is going overland from Juneau by the Chilkoot pass. She will start in a few days. She will write a hook on what she sees there. MMe.MN.,.,,,ME Bay State Klondikers. When last heard from, the Klondike party of 20 that left Boston for Alaska last week was speeding on for Seattle, making good time.

Word came by letter from Arthur E. Seymour of Haverhill, the organizer of the party. He wrote his father, Mr Seymour, the mind read- er, from a place near Denver, that all the members of the party were well and hopeful. The party expected, when the letter was written, to make the journey to Dawson City by water, if possible. WILL FORSAKE THE WORLD.

Two Wealthy Women of Noble Birth to Become Members of the Catholic Order of Visitation. NEW YORK, Aug 11Two women of noble birth, Mme Constance Mal and her gifted daughter. Miss Marie, the former, according to the statements of her dearest friends, a countess of the Prussian kingdom. are soon to forsake the world for the seclusion of cloister cells. When they assume their veils as brides of the order of the Visitation they will surrender their wealth and their magnificent estate at New Brighton, as a dowry to the sisterhood.

They will be received into the order by Archbishop Corrigan, within the walls of the convent now in curse of construction upon the estate. This building Is of brick, with granite facings, and is of a severely monastic type of architecture. It is an additional gift from Mme Mallmann to her chosen sisterhood. There will be an imposing gathering of dignitaries of the church at the reception of these two postulants, for Mme Mallmann has had as guests at her beautiful villa many distinguished members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, and they are proud to call her friend. Archbishops.

bishops, provincial generals of the regular orders and distinguished secular priests have celebrated mass in the tine chapel which adjoins the great reception room. Mme Mallmann is a daughter of the famous old German Catholic house of Wisthoff. TILE SONG OF MOST OF THEM. (W. J.

Hoped to Avoid Unhappy Experiences of Past 18 biontha Another attempt at organization of the ready-made clothing trade was made last evening and about 26(-) garment pressers were the principal leaders in the movement. The clothing trade In this city has for the past 18 months been in a demoralized condition. but, according to the active men in this craft the demoralization was due to the fact that the workers could not agree among themselves long enough to carry on a successful trade union. About two years ago the garment makers union was strong in numbers and the members succeeded winning a legnal victory for the shorter workday, after a brief strike. The entire piece system was abolished and agreements were made with the clothing contractors which were suppcsed to remain in force for one year.

Women and men were paid eoual wages for equal work performed and only enion workers were to be employed. During the busy season of 95 the agreement was kept by all of the contractors, but as soon as business became dull there was a general violation of all its sections. Certain contractors began to complain that they were losing work to their competitors and these competitors were accused of hiring their hell) cheaper than the terms of the schedule used by contractors making the accusation. This was taken as an excuse by some of the contractors to reduce the wages in their workshops and in most all cases the women in the trade were the ones selected for the reduction. The women claimed to have been driven out of the organization by the action of the men and many complaints were made against the inelis organization to the higher organizations in the city.

L'he complaint of the women was based upon the fact that they were Christians and that the men in the industry treated them in a most disrespectful manner. So great a grievance did this become that the women refused to attend the meetings of the district council of the clothing trade, and their organization was without representation in the governing body of the organization. The contractors learning of the situation began to reduce the wages of the women, who tinaliy surrendered their union. Scarcity of employment then drove the men to accept the same prices offered to the women and they were engaged in preference to women by most of the contractors. who were of toe same nationality as their workmen, and, it is alleged, preferred to give employment to them rather than to others.

While this was going on politics crept Into the men's union. and the meetings were of the stormiest kind. Those of the leaders of the organization who stood out for no politics of any kind in their unions, and who Insisted that the unions should only handle questions of trade grievances, were denounced and were finally driven out of office. As is usual among workers' organizations when this condition appears, the organizations were soon smashed. and wages went lower and lower.

Tc.day. the men allege it is impossible for them to earn money enough to support their families in decency. Most of those present at the meeting last evening have gone through the work of organizing. and it is believed that there will be more confidence among the craft, and better work done. as a result of the experiences of the past.

STAR PLAYER TO BE MOT. Choctaw Indian, Under Sentence of Death, Will Play One More Game. KANSAS CITY, Aug 11Wah Teh Nish, a member of the Choctaw tribe, In Indian Territory, is under sentence to be shot next Monday. Meanwhile Wah Teh Nish plays baseball, and very good ball, indeed, for he is a star player on the baseball team which upholds the honor of his tribe on the diamond. It was originally intended that he should be shot next Saturday, but the governor of the Choctaw nation is a man of tender heart and a rooter of the 3.3,1 degree.

Therefore, when he learned that to hold the execution on Saturday would interfere with a game to be played in this city on thatday he postponed the interesting ceremony. Wah Teh Nish apprediates the clemency of the executive very much and on Saturday he will play the game of his lifeand death. No restraint is placed upon him. He runs bases and throws the ball with unerring skill. After the game he will leave with the team for Tuskahorna and be shot In due and proper forrn on Monday afternoon.

How the Great Abolitioniht Brown Came to be Buried in Inv York. hterestine Scraps from the Brown Family History.

ntmLINGToN, Vt. Aug 11Pres McKinley took another pilgrimage today. Upon invitation of Hon Smith M. Weed. who has shown the presidential party much attention since they toek up thEir summer quarters at Bluff Point, Plattsburg, a special train whirled the distinguished visitors through the valleys and over the mountains of the Adirondacks to an historioal spot, which has an interest for every Americanthe grave of John Brown.

There were in the party Vice Free Hobart and Mrs Hobart, Sec Alger, Mrs Alger and Miss Alger, Sec Porter, Hon Smith M. Weed and several Piattsburg men of notes with their ladies. The John Brown homestead. away over in North Elba, was presented to the state of New York to be kept forever as a historical landmark and a part of the great national park of the Adirondacks. July 21.

1896. It was an event of much importance and at the time attracted country-wide attention. Rarely does a visitor go to the Adirondecks for the first time who is not amazed and doubtfully suspicious when you tell him that John Brown, the one John Brown of Ossawatomle and Harpers Ferry, is really buried up there within a day's drive from any of the famous resort hotels. Only within the lost week a man who should heve known better contradicted the etatement. And this in Burlington.

the home of the famous college and the piece of living of many statesmen. "John Brown," he said. "0, he was hanged down in Virginia and thrown in a hole." Does it not rather reflect upon us that so many of this generation. only one removed from John Brown himselr should be ignorant of the main facts of the life and burial place of so conspicuous and heroic a man? Some 10 years before his execution Jchn Urown had located his family on the farm in North Elba, the homestead plot of which he had received from Garret Smith. Here his family lived during the most exciting and venturesome years which culminated in his seizure and execution at Charlestown, Va, Doc 2, 1859, end here, close beside a giant bowlder he requested to be burled.

The Browns were always poor. In 1S63, in order to join her family in California, Mrs Brown sold the farm to Alexis Hinckley, and he. in 11370, was obliged to sell under threat of foreclosure. Kate Field heard of this, and, together with 19 friends. bought the farm to save it from public sale.

The Kate Field association included the following well-known people: Kate Field, Le-Grand B. Cannon, Salem II. Wales, William H. Lee. Simeon B.

Chittenden, Randolph Martin. Jackson T. Schurtz, Isaac Sherman. Sinclair Tousey, Anna Quincy Waterson. Isaac II.

Bailey, Henry Clews. John E. Williams, Thos. Murphy, Charles Stewart Smith, Geolge Cabot Ward, George A. Robbins, Chas.

G. Judson, Eliot C. Cowdin, and Horace B. Clatiln. Several of these people are well-known in this city and it Is their custom to spend the, summer here.

Knowing that as the original incorporators passed away interest would flag. Kate Field realized that the only way to preserve the farm in perpetuity. as was her hope, was to get the state to take charge of it, and this transfer she effected Just before her departure, In broken health, to the Sandwich islands, where she died in March a year ago. At the official presentation and acceptance, the forest and game commissioners, who had the matter in charge, were all present. as were Bernard H.

Davis. Edward L. Thompson, William It. Weed. Charles H.

Babcock. Hendrick S. Holden, A. N. Cheny, Mai Pond and Col NVilliam F.

Fox, the superintendent. The North Elba residents, some of them obi but vigorous, who knew John Brown well, summer tourists from all the hotels in the mountains, and many potable men from different sections of the union made up a great concourse of peelde. Boston was represented by E. It. Hale.

The woodman's ax had felled a mighty pine in the tiniber back of the homestead. This giant pole was hauled near the grave of the noted abolitionist and raised. A flag was unfurled to the breeze. Beneath this same banner of stars and stripes Pres McKinley stood today. Whh the farm the Kate Field association also a memorial monument, which stands atv.ont 75 feet southeast from the grave, on a large, fiat bowider.

The Inscribed stone was unveiled by Leander and Frank Thompson, North Elba men, and brothers of the two Thompson boys who met death at Harpers Ferry IvIth John Brown. "Blow ye the trumpet, blow." was the song sung at the unveiling by Lyman Epps anti his family. Mr Epps was the only survivor of the little colony of negroes which settled in North Elba in 1849, when Garret Smith gave them acre plots to give them their enfranchisement. This little settlement was called "Freedman's Home." Only one or two tumble-down log cabins remain, monuments of forlorn hope, to testify to its existence, and since these exercises Mr Epps has passed to the great beyond. "It is better," said John- Brown, "that a whole generation.

The McKinley party viewed en route Clinton prison, the iron manufactories of Lyon mountain, one of the highest peaks in the Adirondacks.

Juneau of Dodge City, Kan, the founder of Juneau, Alaska, was interviewed yesterday about the Klondike gold fields. He said: "I cannot see the reason for advising travel by the Yukon river route. a distance of 2500 miles or more, from Juneau to the Klondike gold fields, when there is a shorter route, perhaps more difficult, but practical, which is over Chi 'kat pass, a distance of 400 miles from Juneau. "The passage of the Chi lkat pass is extremely difficult, but has been performed.

many years. This pass is about 100 miles from Juneau. Indians. both men and Women, are employed in making the ascent of the pass. They carry goods on their backs.

from the bead of Linn channel to the nearest point where you strike the Yukon river. a distance of about 75 miles. and charge $15 to $20 a hundred pounds. Two weeks are required to make the trip. "An Indian will carry 100 pounds besides his own clothing.

and provisions weighing 30 pounds or more. About 200 Indians were at one time engaged in carrying goods over the pass. but the number engaged in the traffic is much greater now. Mules and horses are of no use in this mountain climbing, and hay and feed shipped in there would be great luxuries at enormous figures. Only moss grows there.

The country is too rough for animal travel. "Alaska is a country full of disappointments. Thousands of people who go there will be sadly disappointed. They have no idea of the many discomforts. "The country Is covered with moss.

a vine that ccntains prickles as sharp as the quills of a porcupine. having sawlike edges, with the edges reversed and pointing to you. These get into the ficeti and stick deep. They break as you pull them out. and a portion remalas in your flesh.

The only way to remove them is to dig them out. The pricks a sore. These infernal pricks are abcut 114 to inches long, and there is excruciating pain when you pull them Dem your flesh. "Alaska is a terrible country in. which to eke out an existence.

It is a country on edge, ro to rpeak; it is so mountainous. Basins are mainly filled with ice. Where there is no ice, there is moss and devil's club, the latter being a vine that Wint13 around everything it can clutch. Persors walking become entwined Ir. a network of moss and devils club.

"There is a great store of precious minerals in Alaska behind these almost impenetrable barriers. with danger lurking on every bandin water, ice and cold. "I was one of the founders of the town of Juneau. Alaska. in 1R81.

Gold was found plentifully there. There was no law in the country then. and we adopted the 'Washington territorial civil law and the United States mineral laws. Alaska was to about the same condition as No Mans Land before it was put into Oklahoma territory. The people had to agree to establish law.

A man who stole anything in that country was hanged. "Along the coast Alaska presents. a grand and picturesque view for miles in extent, from an ocean steamer. It is a grand country to visit, and its scenery surpasses any mountain scenery in the world. Ice by acres Is constantly tumbling into the sea, making a noise like an earthquake and endangering vessels.

Mt Crelion is a grand sight. It is three miles hie-h. and stands in pyramidal form. with towers above towers. like an enchanted city of steeples in the distance.

Ice does not stick to the sides of these mountains. but slides into the water in great avalanches. "Alaska is a rich country from many points of view. It is rich in minerals. but not much vegetation survives.

Portions Of the territory have extensive forests, and the timber is very valuable. It is dark and gloomy. and lies partly within the Arctic circle. It has continuous lightness in summer and continuoue darkness in winter. It is a country of vast extremes, but It may yet prove to be the richest possession of the United States.

"Ali the terrors and horrors of that country have not been overdrawn. Hunger and cold will claim many more victims. but the hardships and dangers will not deter the venturesome."
