San Francisco, Cal., Sept 1. ' The news is bronght by the latest miners that have retnrn ed from the Klondike that as a matrimonial market Dawson Oity has no eqnal on earth. Women are as scarce as gold dust is burdensome in the me tropolis of the new Eldorado. All the men avow thau any wo man can become a bride with a wedding present of thousands of dollars' worth of gold dust within thirty minutes after ar riving at Dawson City if she will but whisper her consent. Ten thoueand dollars in gold was laid at the feet of the lady in a number of instances at Dawson City fcefcfre the cere mony was said. Miss Gusrie La More, former ly of Juneau, has made the most desirable marriage from a pecuniary point of view. It is a Jact ttiat bwitwater Jbill was so smitten with her charms that he called on Miss La More the day of her arrival and wooed her with 850,000 of gold dust in a coal oil can. The next day she became Mrs. Swifwater Bill. Swifwater Billj whose real name is not known to any of the miners who have come out. came to the Klondike early iu the rush. He did not have a dollar or enough grub for a square meil when he arrived, He located one of the richest claims aud is now a millionaire and a bridegroom. His claim is No. 13 Eldorado.

Wages Should Rise. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 4. The Post Dispatch to-morrow will print a tetter from William J. Bryan, the first utterance after three months of travel and ob servation during the return of prosperity. Among other things he says: u Wheat has risen because the foreign crop has been ex ceedingly short. " " ."The fact that silver and wheat have parted company will cause no 'dismay to those who understand that the law of supply and demand regulates the price of both. - "Nothing can better disclose the weakness of the republican position than the joy manifest ed by the republicans over events for which their adminis tration and their policies are in no wise responsible. "If the republicans desire to claim credit tor tne nign price of wheat they must assume the responsibility for the famine in India. " "A general rise in prices should be followed by a rise in wages." Mr. Bryan says that the joy over the increase of money from wheat is evidence that we have too little money; that if the farmers are benefited by the rise is one of their pro ducts, how much better would it be if the rise were universal; that the price of wheat will fall when the foreign demand be comes normal, and that the present spasmodic rise will'aid rather than injure the cause of bimetallism. j SUSPICIOUS DEATHS.

Two of these. however,occurred Fri day with symptoms that were reported as suspicious of yel low fever.

Men Are Leavine the Cotton Helds To Hunt Pearls. the. New Orleans, Laf Sept. 3. A special to the Associated Press from Helena, Ark., says the pearl hunting industry has been excitinsr the whole coun try, especially over this part of the State. The St. Francis river frdm its mouth to Jeffer- sonvilie is lined with white people and negroes engaged in unearthing and prying open richly laden mussel shells. One young man brought a small bottle of peals taken from Phillips Bayou, tributary of the Str Francis. They are darker in color than the ordi nary pearls of commerce, but are of handsomes shapes and good size. All of the chain of lakes in the higherto waste St. Francis bottoms are full of these pearl-bearing mussels and it is expected the whole country will soon be engaged in the business to the detri- ? ment of crop gathering. One planter told your correspond ent he expected to have diffi culty in securing hands to pick his cotton on account of the pearl excitement. A CHECK FROM ROCKEFELLER. Boston, Mass., Sept. 3. John D. Rockefeller, in pur suance of a promise to the American Baptist missionary union and the American Bap tist home missionary sdciety, has sent his check for the balance of the $250,000 to be given by him on condition that the two societies should raise $236,000 On fiugust 13 the American Baptist missionary union, which has headquarters in Treniont temple, this city, received Mr. Rockefeller's check fdr 121,167. Now the American Baptist Kdme mis sionary society, the headquar ters of which are in New York city, has received a check for the amount necessary to can cel its indebtedness. This contribution is the largest eift ever made to the missionary cause. The average rent of houses in England is 21 pounds per annum. STILL COINING RUPEES. The Boston Advertiser says: The English newspapers have a gotid deal to say about the impossibility of opening the mints of India to the free coin ageof silver. What the Brit ish press means to state is that the government will hot author rize the free coinage of the In dian rupee. At the same Erne there is reason for believing that the coinage of the rupee has not been entirely discon- tmuea m India. ine native Iiilf POWDER Absolutely Pure, Celebrated for its great leavening strength and healthfulhess.
