CELEBRITIES AT KLONDIKE
KEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE TURNED GOLD
HUNTERS—ALL DEGREES OF FAKE
REPRESENTED
Special Correspondence to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.—The
Klondike Is to have Its share of celehri
tles, and the colony of those who have
already gone is to be added to materi
ally. The writer has been at great trou
ble to learn accurately Just who com
pose the list of Klondlkers whom the
world has hitherto known, and there
fore Is enabled to present for the first
time the names of these persons, as well
as sufficient information concerning
them to place them permanently in the
minds of those who for some reason
have never before made their acquaint
ance.
These people are not going to the new
gold fields on a wild goose chase, but are
amply provided for hardships that must
come to everyone who Journeys to the
new El Dorado. Some of them have
Strange missions, others are going on
purely routine business trips, still others
are looking for wealth spliced with ad
venture, while one man at least is tak
ing the trip in the dual interests of Cupid
and Mammon.
One of those who will be found ln the
list are representatives of the great
moneyed Interests of the east, who are
always reaching out for a share of gold
if it is necessary to travel to the utter
most ends of the earth therefor. Curi
ously enough, the persons Included in
the list are among the most enthusiastic
of the army that Is invading British Co-

lumbia, and all seem to think that the
wealth of the Indies will pale in com
parison wllh the riches of the Klondike.
There are delicately nurtured women
In this list to whom hardship is an abso
lute stranger, and to whom, as well,
anything which savors of manual labor
Is as foreign as the grand llama of
Thibet, than which nothing Is more for
eign. Still they are among the bravest,
and their quest for wealth and 1 learning,
not to mention experience, will be en
tirely and thoroughly successful, if de
termination and genuine pluck count for
anything. Here is the list:
MRS. ELI ALEXANDER GAGE, Chi
cago. •
Mrs. Gage is the daughter-in-law of
Lyman J. Gage, secretary of the treas
ury. Though a woman, she Is really
recognlzedl as leading' the party, for
through- her the expedition in which she
md her husband are equal partners was
organized. Besides, she was la Alaska
only a few weeks ago, and what she
says is about what the. facts indicate.
CAPTAIN E. H. ALLISON, Washing
ton, D. C.
Captain Allison is generally known as
"Scout Allison." He served as a United
State's scout In the deportment of the
Dakotas from 18S0 to 1885, a time whet
brains and bravery were absolute requi
sites to <a scout's success, He has spent
two years ln Alaska, and was on the
Upper Yukon with a government expe
dition for several 1 months. He is going
from Washington, and he says there are
a thousand men there who are almply
crazy over their desire to become gold
hunters.
REV. S. HALL YOUNG, Worcester
Mass.
REV. GEO. A. M'EWEN, Farmlngton,
Maine.
These are two among the best known
of the fearless missionaries of the Pres
byterian church of the United States.
The object of their Journey Is not the
gold that glitters, but the gold of right
eousness, for their mission is to spread
the gospel among the miners. Both
have served in Alaskan mission work,
as it has been carried, on along the coast
and In the more favored portions of the
Yukon valley among the natives.
MRS. GRACE C. DAVIDS, Lexington,
Kentucky.
j Mrs. Davids was formerly well known
throughout the east as a leader of the
New York Band of Mercy. Recently
she has turned her attention to seeing
that animals are properly treated, be
coming a sort of feminine Henry Bergh.
She created a sensation at her home in
Kentucky not long ago by dumping a
cartload of dead dogs that the city offi
cials had refuted to properly dispose of
in front of the police headquarters.
WYATT EARP, Tombstone, Arizona.
Earp is the best know n as the notori
ous gun fighter who refereed the Shar
key Fitzsimmons fight and gave the
fight to Sharkey on an alleged foul. He
will carry enough money to Dawson
FAMOUS DAUGHTERS OF THE KLONDIKE
City to run a faro poker and other game
without limit. He has the reputation of
being the most expert faro dealer ln the
world.
PRINCE ANDRE PONIATOWSKI.
San Francisco.
He recently returned from a European
trip, and so enthusiastic had he become
over the Klondike finds that, although
he is one of the nabobs of the California
metropolis, he decided te rough it with
the rest of the gold seekers and therefore
has become a Klondike,.
SAMUEL C. DUNHAM, Washington.
D. C.
Mr. Dunham is widely known as a la
bor expert, and his findings regarding
any subject of this sort are considered
conclusive. He Is in the Klondike on
official business and upon his report will
the United States base any action it may
take regarding Americans who have
placed themselves under the domination
of the officials of the Canadian govern
ment. Mr. Dunham has spent much
time in the mining camps of the west.
MRS. JENNIE JUNE CROLY, New
York.
Who has not heard of Jennie June?
Her letters are as widely known as the
most famous of newspapers. Her books
are read by women and men, too, for that
matter, with absorbing interest. She
has become a Klondlker, however.
L. M. KEENAN, Ola, S. D.
Mr. Keenan has not heretofore troubled
the gallery of fame, but he will, hereaf
ter, for he is the first matrimonial agent
of the Klondike. While others are pre
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 12, twj
paring to take everything they can out
of the Klondike, Mr. Keenan proposes to
place the unmarried miners under ever
lasting obligations by shipping ln a con
signment of manageable young women.
He will take three hundred young wo
men on his first trip, provided he can
find them, he paying all expenses. Mr.
Keenan has heretofore been in the cat
tle business, and evidently Intends to
handle humanity according to the same
methods, for he refers to this first expe
dition of his as his "first bunch of girls."
E. J. ("LUCKY") BALDWIN, San
Francisco.
Baldwin Is well if not favorably known
wherever there has been a horse race.
There are other events which have made
him at last notorious, but it is not neces
sary to call them to mind. Now he
thinks he sees a chance to again woo
Dame Fortune.
JOAQUIN MILLER, the Poet of the
Sierras.
Mr. Miller Is not in search of the poetic
muse but looking for material for let
ters of prose which he has contracted to
write for a newspaper. He is old and the
way Is long, but Mr. Miller was an Argo
naut, and therefore Is no stranger to
hardship. He trudged with the rest of
the crowd through Chilcoot pass and
seemed to endure the journey as well as
the stoutest of all his companion*.
JOHN H. M'GRAW, ex-governor of
Washington.
He is the representative of a great
eastern syndicate which believes It sees
millions ln the Klondike. He is himself
a millionaire.
GEORGE E. M. CARR, San Francisco.
Mr. Carr is one of the most prominent
lawyers on the Pacific coast. Thirteen
years ago he was in the Yukon basin In.
search of fortune when placer mining
was in its Infancy. One stormy night he
ran across three prospectors and trap
pers nearly perishing of cold and hun
ger. He helped them and has never lost
sight of them since. It is in response to
letters from them that he has gone to
the Klondike.
MRS. Li. C. HOWLAND, Boston.
Mrs. Howland went to the Klondike
for the express purpose of teaching
school, and took with her a schoolhouse
all ready to put together. She will be
• the first to plant the "little red school
house" in British territory. She thinks
it is possible others besides children will
be glad to have her teach them. Her pur
pose is not philanthropic, for she be
lieves hers is an excellent way to make
money.
MRS. MARY A. FLEMING, New York.
The world has not forgotten Mrs.Flem
ing, for such cases as the Bliss murder
trial are indelibly fixed upon the public
mind. Mrs. Fleming has had hard work
to support herself and children and will
take the little money she has in the bank
to pay the expenses of herself and her
family to the Klondike country where
she believes she can. find remunerative
employment.
MRS. CAREY DIAMOND.

FIRST NEWSPAPER SUPPRESSED
Boston Publisher Prevented From
Carrying Out His Ideas
It is curious to compare the latter
day standards of journalistic enterprise
with those of Benjamin Harris, the pub
lisher of the first English newspaper
printed in America. This was issued
from a Boston press in 1690, and was en
titled "Publick Occurrances, Both For
eign and Domestick." Among the aims
announced by Harris was to do some
thing "toward the curing, or at least the
charming, of that Spirit of Lying, which
prevails among us." He therefore de
clared that nothing should be admitted
to the columns of his paper save what
he had reason to believe was true, and
that in quest of such material he would
repair to the best fountains of informa
tion.
In his very candid prospectus Harris
adds: "When there appears any mate
rial mistake In anything that Is collect
ed, it shall be corrected ln the next.
Moreover, the Publisher of the Occur
rances is willing to engage, that where
as, there are many False Reports, ma
liciously made, and spread among us, if
any well-minded person will be at the
pains to trace any such false Report,
so far as to And out and Convict the
First Raiser of it, he will in this Paper
(urless just Advice be given to the con
trary) expose the Name of such person,
,as A malicious Raiser of a False Report.
It is supposed that none will dislike fhis
Proposal, but such as intend to be guilty
of so villainous a Crime."
The general court of Massachusetts, j
appreciating the disturbance to the
peace of the community likely to attend
the carrying out of such a program as
this, promptly suppressed Harris' pa- j
per, and it was fifteen years later before i
anybody found courage enough to make
another and less perilous essay in the j
same field.—New York Times.
Castelar Compared With Gladstone
The position of Senator Castelar Is [
remarkable. No other man in Europe I
enjoys a like degree of reputation as a j
political sage and statesman. Glad
stone's fame is, of course, vastly great
er; but Gladstone is a party man and
will be so till he dies if he lives to be 100
years old. Castelar resembles Gladstone
curiousiy, notwithstanding the former's
inferior powers of Intellect. The Span
iard Is a scholar, a philosopher and a
man of letters. He owes his reputation
almost as much to literature as to pol
itics. His knowledge of history is ex-
I tensive, If not profound. He has played
a great part on the national and Interna
tional stage. Though a much younger
man than. Gladstone, Castelar retired
from active politics while the great Eng
lishman was still in the front of the fray.
They, resemble each other ln a certain
calmness and elevation of mind which
enables them, when not actually en
gaged in partisan attack or defense, to
deal with political Issues from a scien
tific standpoint and ln a delightfully
philosophical temper. Tet we have the
Interesting contrast that while the ex
premier of Great Britain, though the
Idol of one-half of his countrymen, Is
regarded with a measure of suspicion
and dislike by the other half, the ex
premier of Spain seems to be regarded
with almost equal veneration by the
conservative party, which is ln power,
and by the Liberal party, which hopes
soon to be.—Boston Advertiser.
Senses Sharpened in the Wilds
I made bold to say to Dr. Nansen that
thousands upon thousands of men who
were not specially Interested In arctic
work had read his book with delight, and
that to me the marvel was not that he
could do what he did in the field, but
that he could write such a book about
his experiences.
"The best thing In It, to my notion,"
Isaidi. "is your description of your dram
atic meeting with Jackson on Franz
Josef Land, and the best part of that
was your reference to the manner ln
which the wild man's sharpened senses
discovered the fragment of the soap
which the civilized European has used ln
his morning ablutions."
"It is really true," replied Dr. Nan
sen, "that I could smell that soap as
plainly as If It had been a strong per
fume. Johansen noted the same thing
when he came up. In fact, for several
days our sense of smell was wonderfully
acute. As I approached Jackson's hut
I thought I could smell everything it
contained, and.give a sort of inventory of
its stores without entering. In a day
or two this acuteness wore off, and Ws
became quite normal in that as well as
in other respects. But I wonder if a man
were to live wild for a few yeais if his
sense of smell would not become quite as
keen as that of an animal."—Correspond

There is an eminent physician in Lon
i>n who takes the position that the health
of the people would be, on an average,
better and the duration of human life

pressed in the words, "Physicians kill
more people than they cure."
