One Established Which Re

NEWS OF ARCTIC CIRCLE
Description of a Theatre in the
Town of Nome,
Kcw York, Jan. 3. The -New York
Herald says:
Here's a postoffice .located, further .north
than an yother in existence at present
and maintained by .the United States government-
If you look at your geography
and find Alaska, you will see Point Bar
row, away up at the top of that ice
bound peninsula and. according to the
scale on -which your map is drawn, any
where from an inch to perhaps a foot
Irom the mystery enshrouded North Pole.
It is at Point Barrow where a postmaster
and his handsome wife have trouble only
cnce a year in receiving: and distribut
ing mail matter or preparing it for ship
ment to other and distant parts of the
universe.
It will be seen that there is ample time
tor you to write any letter you have in
mind and discharge any obligation with
your correspondeat up there, because the
rest mail is due to arrive in and from
Point Barrow next August.
Notwithstanding the temperature up
there may be anywhere from 70 to 150 de
grees below zero, it is a matter of record
that sentimental letters still burn with
love, even after they have been brought
to the postoffice over fields of ice and
have traversed hundreds of miles over ice
bound country.
Postoffice Inspector John P. Clym es
tablished the postofflce at Point Harrow
a year ago last summer. He selected as
Postmaster Dr. H. Richmond Marsh, wlio,
with Mrs. Marsu, has charge of the Pres
byterian Mission House at Point Barrow.
Dr. Marsh "accepted the responsibility
with all the formality of a postmaster
within twenty miles of New York and
furnished a bond for $300, his bondsmen
being friends in Nome.
"When Dr. Marsh had qualified he was
given the revenue cutter eBar .which is
able to reach Point Barrow only once
a year on account of the ice. That is
either in the latter part of July or Aug
ust. The nearest postoffice to Point Bar
row is six hundred miles away, at Kotz
ebue. When the mail is placed on the Bear it
1:; in an ordinary mail pouch that is care
fully locked and remains so until it is
opened with a key in Dr. Marsh's posses
sion. There Is no crown of "summer girls"
around the postoffice waiting impatiently'
for the mall to be sorted. Not much;
lut there may be a few traders in the
neighborhood with summer weight fur ,
garments who listlessly await Postmaster j
Marsh's stamping of thirty or forty let- i
ters.
The country at present has in it several
exploring parties who are working their
way down the Colville River, but that is
hundreds of miles distant, and perhaps
mail is sent to them by means of rein
deer that are starting for that section.
Postmaster Marsh is not destined to
grow wealthy on the remuneration receiv
ed from the Postoffice department. The
Point Barrow office ranks- as "fourth
class." and - alt the Postmaster receives
is his percentage on the number of pos
tage stamps cancelled by him and mailed
at Point Barrow.

enough from the department to pay for
his own and Mrs. Marsh's letter postage,
r.nd even at that they must not carry
on too much correspondence, or the gov
ernment and their own ends won't meet.
"It's difficult to segregate or draw a
line of demarkatlon between Dr. Marsh
as postmaster, missionary and keeper of
a herd of on hundred and fifty reindeer."
Postoffice Inspector Clum said yesterday.
"He is all three at one and the same
fme. Dr. Marsh has been up there at
least six years, and Is very popular.
"When I go up to Alaska to establish
offices I start with a full equipment for
several offices, so that they can com
mence operations forthwith. It would take
a year ortww to send their bonds on to
"WanhlngtoFvand have them approved, and
so I have Wank bonds and approve them
at once. The office at Point Barrow Is
the furthest north of any in existence,
and the mail there and "back Is only once
a yearv
'I established an office thl year at Cap"
Frince of Wales, where I mode Miss
Susie R. Bernard! the postmistress. The
mail goes there more frecmently than to
other postoffices in that ' vicinity that I
have just established. Because of its Iso
lated position, that at Point Barrow is
more interesting. I think, than any of the
thousands of others scattered all over the
country."
Not far from Point Barrow on the map
but over a topography ot" ice. sea and
the roughest of country, are the furthest

the footlights are bangles made of native
gold by Pacific Coast and Russian jew
elers. Nome;- with -ten -thousandMinhsibitants,
has' celebrated its third birthday, and .ex
pects, to have many more during coming
centuries, for it claims to be a. town that
has come to stay.
Nome- has schools, churches, an electric
light plant, a steam fire - engine from
New York, a water works system, a float
ing" cold storage plant, good "hotels, re
splendent cafes and plenty of frontier
gambling the games running wide
cperi along the principal streets. Mr.
Cutler says it's the most democratic city
in the world. All men are truly free
and equal there. They all meet on com
mon ground. Every man is a gentleman,
and clergymen shake hands with gam
blers, and. strange to say. very Xew men
carry arms. In fact. Mr. Culter says that
things are so quiet there you can hear
a pin drop in the snow.
The theatre has an entire gallery of
private boxes. It seats fifteen hundred
people ,and, has first-class plays. .and
"specialties." After the evening perform
ance the orchestra shake hands with the
prominent men of the town, then take a
drink, while the manager weighs up the
box office receipts, chiefly gold dust, nug
gets and now and then a watch or a
45-calibre revolver.
Then begins the feature of the evening's
entertainment- A part of the six months
of night Is given over to dancing. There
are dancers from every part of the world
men and women from Australia, New
Zealand, Chinu. California and the Trans
vaal. Everybody who is respectable is
expected to join in the festivities, from
the mayor to tne glittering barber of the
swell hotel.
When all is ready the leading citizens
with the belles of Alaska, line up for the
opening waltz- There are plenty of wo
men in Nome. Every man has a partner,
and the theatre company joins in the
dance, giving professional touches to the
Alaskan quick step, the polar bear hoe
down, the blubber waltz, the sealskin ma
zurkain fact, all fancy dances of the
Arctic North.
Citizens used to handling sacks of raw
gold find relaxation In swinging their la
dies to the wild measures of the Behring
Straits Band. Talk about Montreal! Talk
about the wonderful gyrations of the Que
bec beauties as tiiey glide into a half
breed dance! In Nome whale oil per
vades the air. Every joint is in working
order, and even the Indians are won
derful on their feet, swinging their limbs
to the Inspiration of Russian vadka only
diluted with 200-proof alcohol.
A word for the churches there are
two in Nome, and the country swarms
with missionaries. Up in the Kougrok
mining distrfct they tell how a preacher
announced his coming. The miners sent
word that no clergyman could preach
in that country and live. One Sunday,
howver, the missionary appeared before
two hundred miners in the principal hall
of the camp. It was a tent, frozen stiff.
The congregation wore red shirts and
rubber boots, and were armed to the
teeth with pickaxes and revolvers, but
the clergyman was not frightened.
Looking over the picturesque assembly
heppened a walrus hide gripsack and
proceeded to lay things on the pulpit
which, by the way, was a soap box nailed
to a stake.
He said:
"I hear you are opposed to preachers.
But I have a contract to come'lnto these
diggings and spread the Gospel and I
propose to do it."
He opened his Bible and turned to an
appropriate passage in Revelation. Then,
putting his hand on another' package as
large as a six months grub stake he
said:
If I am not allowed to preach I have
still another contract opening up this
canyon with dynamite, which, by the
way. I have here in this package. Take
your choice Gospel or dynamite. Just
say the word and I'll begin operations
right here now."
One of the leading churches In Nome
is the Roman Catholic. The edifice is
surmounted by an immense cross, blaz
ing with electricity. It serves as a light
house for miles up and down the coast.
It can be seen from all parts of the coun
try, and it is not only a beacon of safety
to boats and ships at sea. but to th
. .
miners coming to town or returning from
the mountains. This wonderful light has
saved many an unpleasant adventure in
the wilderness. Many a man would have
been lost in the storm and frozen to death
but for th guiding beams of this unique
lemp of salvation.
Mr. Colter says the output of gold In
the territory of Alaska, for which we paid
seven and one half millions, is rapidly
inerenslng. and he estimates the total
clean up on gold for the coming year
at from forty to fifty million?.

Impassible Barriers Set
Against Reciprocity.
Up
ISOME STATES OBJECT
When Any ot Their Products
are Brought Into Danger.
J Washington, Jan. 3. There is no hope
! for an yof the reciprocity treaties now
' pending in the senate. The Republican
party is not in favor of reciprocity, or
else it is not represented in that body.
It is a good cry for an election cam
paign, but .the different senators who
have constituents opposed to different
. provisions in the treaties make their petty
personal interests more important than
the public good. The pinchbeck jewelry
; manufacturesers of Providence, for ex
; ample, can prevent the enactment of
any legislation for the good of the rest
of the- country by appealing to Senator
Aldrlch. the chairman of the committee
that has revenue bills under its jurisdic
tion. Senator Cullom called up the reciproc
ity with France just before the adjourn
ment of the Senate for the holiday re
: cess .and endeavored to get a vote, but
there was a loud and determined opposi
tion from several senators, who insisted
that they were not prepared for its con
sideration, and demanded more time.
One would think that three years was
sufficient for the education of any sena
tor on any subject, and that if sena
tors who were opposed to the treaty
are not prepared to consider it now they
rever will be, which is exactly the situ
ation. The opponents of the treaty will
object every time Senator Cullom calls
it up, and if he insists upon its consider
ation they will talk against time to de
feat it. Even if they should let it come
to a vote it is doubtful whether It would
be ratified, for it requires two thirds of
the Senate.
', Tiic five or six other reciprocity treat
ies that are pending are in the same
fix. Somebody objects to every one of
them because some pet interest is un
favorably affected or Is afraid it may be.
Tlie Ohio and Montana senators are op
posed to the Argentine treaty because it
admits wool from that country at a
duty of 20 per cent less than the regular
rate. Argentine wools do not compete
with those raised in the United States,
j They are coarse and rough, while ours
; are fine, but the Ohio people are afraid
' that our woolen manufacturers will use
them to adulterate our finer wools !n the
manufacture of cheap clothing, which of
course would be a terrible thing for the
poor people.
They do not stop to consider the enor
mous advantage it would be to this coun
try to have an interchange trade with
the Argentine. They think only of the
possibility of reducing the price of Amer
ican wool, which is so remote as to be
absurd. The amount of selfishness shown
in such legislation gives observers a very
poor opinion of human nature. It Is
not probable that any of the reciprocity
treaties will be ratified. Nevertheless,
the next Republican national convention
will contain the usual reciprocity plank.
' The Salvation Army has received an
Invitation to colonize a tract of 20,000
acres of land in Georgia with poor people
from the slums of New York and other
cities, upon condition that they have
no less than $100,000 working capital in
hand for the purpose of paying the ex
penses of the colonization. Commander
Booth-Tucker, who has the undertaking
in hand, is now trying to raise the
money.
! Thomas E. Guthrie, of Carrell. Iowa,
says: 'The assertion has bee nmade that
one third of the population of New York
Cit yare dependent upon charity, and
also that one-tenth of them die every
, Can you give us the facts?"
The assertion quoted by Mr. Guthrie
Is probably based upon the reports of
the bureau of charities, which show that
nearly I.ojO.CA) applications for relief
were made during last year, but that
dees not imply that l.OOO.M"! individuals
or anything like that number are depen
dent upon charities. Undoubtedly there
Is a dependent population of several
thousand people in New York City:
many of them are voluntary paupers,
who make it a rule to apply daily and
have other members of th-ir families
make application at the same time for
relief. These habitual beggars have been
estimated as high as ".iVO .and if each
ot them made application for relief one
hundred times during the year that alone
would ma"ke 2.200.00 applications for re
lief. The involuntary applicants vary in
rnmhfr neeordlnc- to ihe weather, the
season of the year and the condition
of the labor market. Last summer there
were scarcely any. because labor of ev
ery kind was in demand. This winter,
so the superintendent of charities writes
me. nearly all of this class have applied
fcr coal only. I am assured by official
authority that the number of persons ac
tually dependent upon charity in the clty
of New York during th present condi
tion of prosperity does not exced
The government of New York expended
Ji.'HMS) last year for charity. This In
cludes the support of Hospitals, dispen
saries, asylums, almshouses ami cut-of-deor
relief. Probably as much more was
churches and other organizations, al
though the total cannot be obtained with
out applying directly to th managers
of the hundreds cf benevolent societies
in that great city.
So far as the second Qaestioa Is con
cerned, no case of death by starvation
were reported to the board of health or
the police department ta New York fast
year. Under the law every death must
be reported, and la order to secure a
btirial certificate the caese must be
given. "WhSe there are occasioaat cases
of starvation, no doubt, fcr w- see them
reported la the newspapers, they are,
infinitesimal la number compared to the
total mortality, which was ia that
city last year and they must have been
included under one of the forty -six dif
ferent causes of deatts reported, prob
ably among the mysterious who died
from ill defined diseases." or 4.S52 who
died from accidents, cr US3 who died
from disease of ther digestive systera.
Whenever there Is a case of starvation
it Is reported to the coroner and gets
Into the newspapers.
Claims are pending in the Department
of state against the following American
republics:
Guatemala. Honduras.
Salvador. Colombia
Ecuador. ' Hayti.
San Domingo.
Wc have recently had arbitrations with
Mexico. Chile. Venezuela and Salvador.
As stated the other day. Salvador de
clines to pay the reward. Venezuela is
paying In installments. About one-half
of the award against her has already
been paid.
There are ancient and obsolete claims
against the Argentine Republic and Par
aguay, but they have never been press
ed by our government because they are
not believed to be just- There is a claim
of several millions against Peru brought
by a man who claims that he discovered
guano upon the islands along the Peru
vian coast and is entitled to a commission
on the hundreds of millions dollars which
that nation has realized from that
source. Every now and Chen somebody
comes here to revive it. Dudley and
Michener have it In hand now. It has
been before congress In various forms,
but has never been seriously treated
by the Department of4State and prob
ablynever will be. Costa Rica, Bolivia.
Uruguay and Brazil have never been on
our list.
James Dixon of Chicago asks for In
formation concerning Mudle's circulat
ing library. It is an institution more
than half a. century old and managed
in a manner similar to the Booklovers"
Library, of Tabard Inn, which has re
cently been introduced Into the United
States. There are two enterprises of
this soit in England. The oldest was
established in a small news and station
er" shop in 1S44 by Ch.uies Mudie. who
loaned magazines and other periodicals
for a small fee to persons who could
rot afford to buy them. His success In
this direction sugested a similar use of
the unsold books upon his shelves, and
in five or six years the scheme had be
come so popular and extended that Mr.
Mudie required an entire building for
the business. In l&H a limited library
company was organized with a capital of
J3,000, and now has over 3,50,000 books
constantly in circulation.
tne patrons in l-onuon or in any part ;
of England, upon the payment of an j
annual fee of J5.23. are entitled to the f
continuous use of one booic, which may
be exchanged as often as desired, but
cannot be kept longer than thirty days.
City patrons may have their books ex
changed by messengers of the company,
whose carts may be seen daily in all
parts of London. Patrons living in the
country are supplied as desired by parcel
post, but are required to pay the postage.
Fersons desiring more than one book
at a time can take out as many sub
scriptions as they like, each hcosting J5.23
a year .and each entitles them to one
book. Catalogues of additions to the li
brary are issued at frequent intervals
and mailed to subscribers, who fiJI up
blank cards with the numbers of the
book they want and return them to head
quarters. The patronage is so large that
the company ships not less than 1.000
packages of books daily to various
places in the United Kingdom and re
ceives an equal number. It has a special
arrangement with the postoffice depart
ment by which it has its own pouches
and receives them from and delivers
them directly to the postal clerks on the
railway trains, as is, done by the daily
newspapers of this country.
The Mudies also have a large book
store where new and second-hand books
are sold. It is also a sort of clearing
house for second-hand literature, and
supplies libraries in India, Australia and
English settlements all over the world
with stocks of current fiction and other
publications, either new or second-hand.
The company usually buys from LOCO to
JL500 copies of popular publications as
soon as issued, and when the demand
for them diminishes a portion of the
stock Is placed upon their shelves for
sale, and more is shipped to libraries in
the antipodes. It also supplies small
circulating libraries In London and else
where, which charge lower rates and are
patronized by poorer classes of society.
The "VV. H. Smith Company has a sim
ilar system, except that their patrons
are served through the newgtands at the
railway stations throughout Great Bri
tain, and Its patronage is not quite so
select as that of the Mcdles, hut the
rates are lower. The late W. H. Smith
kept a news stand when he was a boy
but. when he died, was the first lord
of the treasury. H gradually obtained
the exe'usive privilege of selling books
and newspayers upon the railways of
the United Kingdom, and enjoyed one
or the most profitable monopolies In Eu
rope. He started a circulating library
for reasons similar to those which
broucht Mudies into being to ultllze
shelf-worn novels which were left unsold
at his news stands. H ultimately de
velop a system by which a peron.
upon paying a fee of 19 shilling? (JiS0
can obtain a card which entitles them
to the use of oae book In Smith's drcu
latieg library, and when he has finish
that book he can obtain it for any other
in stock at any of the several thousand
news stands maintained by W. M Smith
throughout the kingdom. To obtain a
new book, however. It !s necessary to
present one previously drawn, and thus
the system of exchange goes on. Smith's
books, numbering at least 300.6. are In
constant circulation from oae end of
Great Britain to the other by his sub
scribers, who are chiefly traveling men,
although the library does a great deal
of local business.
Both Mudies and Smiths have very
critical censors, and neither compacy
will add to Its stock a book to which
any rational person can take exceition.
Both have been severely complained of
by publishers and authors for what is
considered unreasonable prejudice, and It
is true that several books have failed
because of their refusal to purchase
copies. The manager of 3Icdies exptateed
to me the other day that this care was
not so much a matter of morals ajf of
business with them, becanse so many
of their patrons are particular, and sev
eral times the circulation cf certate -a-satleoal
