The scrupulous observance of the ordi

at certain hours and on tho first day of the
week was really remarkable yesterday.

THE SITUATION AT SKAGUAY
Alice Rollins Crane Alarmed at the Congestion of Adventurous
and Misguided Humanity—Many
Already Discouraged
SKAGUAY, Feb. 2.—(Special Correspondence to The Herald.) I have
decided to remain here until the government relief outfit arrives, and I
am informed that I can cross the country with them; I have my freight
landed here instead of its going to Dyea. Oh. Lord! but it is cold. Only
30 degrees below, but my clothing is equal to my protection. There are
thousands here who are suffering for the want of both clothing and food.
Many are dying every day from exposure, while they do not really know
the cause.
1 have Just left two young men who arrived two hours ago from
Dawson. Six started together; one was frozen to death, one died of
fever, nnd two are camped some sixty miles from here sick with spinaj
meningitis. They report that the thermometer ran down to 56 below
for ten days after leaving Dawson.
This tow n contain)) about 4000 people, and I think from what 1 have
seen of the new-comers that but few will ever cross the country to
Dawson, and for the reason that they have not the proper outfits. They
have been deluded, and are already homesick. Some 300 will go back
on the Oregon on her return trip. The stores here are well stocked,
and the prices are not so bad. A Mr. Sylvester has the big supply
house, and I find him a man of ability and with a big heart, willing to
assist every one possible. The mail service Is a disgrace to civiliza
tion; the two clerks are uncivil and the mails come once in about fif
teen clays, while every day a steamer passes up or down, and the people
swarm around the postofltce waiting to htar from their dear ones at
home. This is cruel.
In my last I mentioned the wreck of the Corona and the cause of
the same. I now want to say the crew were all new men, and I under
stand only the pilot had ever been over the route. It is due to the
captain to say he anchored nearly half the nights and steamed only by
daylight to insure the safety of us poor mortals.
I am told that the transportation companies expect to land at this
point between now and June Ist 10,000 people with such outfits as
they may bring. I am confident from what I see that suffering and
death will be the lot of the majority. The press of California should
not refrain from giving timely warning to the crazy multitude that
intends corning to Alaska. Most of the people I see here do not know
what they are here for, and seem to have caught the gold fever, and
most of thorn will pay an awful penalty.
1 have my dogs in training, and it would do you good to see them
draw me around over the ice like two trained horses at the rate of ten
miles per hour. I am offered $500 for them, but they are my children,
and the Siberian bloodhound will protect me better than a corporal's
guard. I am stopping with a Catholic family here, and through the in
fluence of Bishop Montgomery's letters I have everything I could desire.
There is now building a wagon road through White's pass, and It will not
only shorten the route, but make it quite easy to get over the mountains.
I have sr.en several who have been over this route, as well as over the
Chllcoot, and they say It will be less expensive to transport the freight,
and horses can be used all the way to the lakes. The government will
take this passage, and I expect fo go with them. Tell all our friends
who are foolish enough to start this winter to get their entire outfits in
Los Angeles, and save money and trouble.
There are about 200 women here, all but myself without any definite
plan for the future, except the "saloon variety," who are a very low
class. I will from time to time send you facts without any gliding.
My dog has just Interviewed a reporter, who came to ask me who I
was and did not knock at the door, and I want to tell you that he
could never get over the pass with what clothing the dog left on his
person, as he was finder the stern necessity of returning home in a
round-about way. I don't know what I shall do with this bloodhound;
he is too full of business for anything.
There Is a new dock building and preparations are being made for
an enormous traffic. The government is lax in its duty if it does not
take soma steps to control the country and keep the rough element
down. There will be murders and theft beyond endurance If Uncle
Sam does not wake up soon, and tjien the old Arizona method of just
ice will prevail,and there is many an old Arizona miner here who can pull
the rope, and who is well up in tho art generally of disposing of bad
men. ••
I have met nine Dob An~< b s people here, and' some of them wish
they were homo picking roses from tlielr yard?.

man couldn't. The poor man might not
have his glass, but the rich man could get
bis bottle, or as many of them as he chose.
The effect was entirely Satisfactory.
The quietest Sabbath on record was en
joyed at the police station. Only live ar
rests for drunkenness were recorded up to
midnight.
But If a man djd not have the price of
a bottle in bis pocket he was forced to
"remember the- Sabbath to keep it holy."
There were saloons at which It was nec
essary to toy with a piece of bologna
sausage or a cracker and cheese in order
to quench the thirst, which, unfortunately,
seems lo be the Fame on the first day of
tho week ns it Is on Saturday—only some
times a little moro so. There were others
at which only "package goods"—bottles
were sold.
A hobo leaned against a pillar of one of
the most popular of the bitter establish
ments. He owned a philosophic soul, and
midst the strains of a Wagnerian overture
which floated across to him through an
atmotphi re laden with beer fumes and to
bacco smoke, reflected In this wise: "I
have walked a score of miles this Sabbath.
A glass of beer would fill a long-felt want,
but I've only got a dime. You fellows are
getting all you want, and some of you more
than Is good for you, but because this is a
day of rest be. r costs two anil a half times
as much, and i can't get any. This Is
Sabbatarian justice, eh?" Hut his growl
was. disturbed by the offlclousness of a
waiter, who. realizing tha: he hadn't the
price to buy a bottle and that his appear
ance wasn't a credit to the establishment,
gruffly ordi red him to make himself scarce.
And as there is an infinitely superior
profit In "bottled goods" than in the
draught article, (he privileged few among
the saloon keepers do not complain.
WANTED WHISKY
Edward Burgess Didn't Know the
Ropes ar.d Was Arrested
Edward Burgess Is not one of those for
tunate Individuals who knows just which
ALICE ROLL TNS CRANE
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21, J893
of the saloons never close their doors In
spite of the Sunday closing law, and he Is
also one of those unfortunate Individuals
who, when they want a drink, "want it
bad," as he expressed it. As is well known
many of the saloonkeepers who do not hap
pen to possess the police "pull" which has
secured some of their rivals Immunity from
arrest have lately been compelled lv close
front doors and back on Sundays and to
keep them closed.
Burgess was desirous of a drink, good
or bail, last night and, as before stated,
he did not know the ropes. He tried first
one saloon and then another, but they were
all closed, to him at least, it suddenly
occurred to him that whisky is sometimes
kept, or rather sold, at drug stores, and to
him a drug store was a drug store. !!<■
did not think that If some such places sold
booze all of them did net. so be hied him
self to Dr. Guirado's apothecary Shop at
IM Soufh -Main street, only to Hnd it closed.
That 'made no difference to him, for it is
well known that most drug stores are easy
of access at ail hours to men in need of
medicine.
The visiter shook the door violently sev
eral times and the pharmacist responded
but upon reaching the door he wisely took
the precaution to ask of Burgess what h"
desired, When the latter shott!( d "a drink."
In a voice loud enough to be heard a block,
the drug man refused to open the door
and went back to bed. Now Burgess may
hnvesmcyt whisky from afar.and hedld not
despair even If he did appear to be desper
ate. Going to the rear door he began kick
ing on It. The drug store man opened thi
door then, not to sell the much desired
drink, but to Induce tbe man to leave. In
this he wns unsuccessful, for Burgess drew
a razor and threatened to decrease the
voting population one. The police were
summoned and Patrolman Klco responded,
and Burgess was soon behind the bars,
charged with disturbing the peace.

Peary's Second Lecture
Lieut. R. E. Peary repeated his lecture
with splendid Illustrations bearing upon
his arduous journey of 1200 miles over the
Ice cap of the northern part of Greenland
to a large and interested audience last
night at the Los Angeles tl«-ater. Lieut.
I'eary Is not only an excellent lecturer but
his subject is an entrancing one, while the
illuminated photographic views of the
scenes of his travels add to the realism
which the lecturer knows how to impart to
his subject.

in a Yuma saloon and Is said to have fired
into the crowd, not caring whom li« hit.
Fortunately no one was wounded, and he
was quickly disarmed and placed under
arrest.
RESTAURANTS IN LONDON
Difficult to Get Anything to Eat After
Midnight
Americans who have penetrated as far
away from home as London remark, as
one of the more striking peculiarities of
that metropolis, tho extraordinary diffi
culty in getting- something to eat there
after midnight. There are perhaps fifty
open-all-nlght restaurants in New York,'
and In all considerable American cities
provision la made for people who have oc
casion for food when most people are
asleep. The restaurant wagons, which,
during the last two or three years, have
come to be familiar ln most American
cities, do business from sunset to sunrise
or later, and in themselves form a suffi
cient safeguard against nocturnal famine.
London seems not to have developed even
these itinerant havens. Julian Ralph
lately communicated to the London Mail
a distressing narrative (though happy ln
its ending) of the anguish of an American
gentleman who left Paris with nothing
more than a cup of coffee in him, omitted
to take food at Boulogne or on tlie boat
("I find it's throwing money overboard to
eat crossing the channel"), and who found
himself In London after midnight, "so
hungry that 1 was all one clamorous appe
tite with a hat on and a suit of clothes."
There was not a bite of anything at his
hotel. He had not telegraphed. He was
recommended to consult a cabman. Cabby
took him to a proprietary club, where he
was at first refused admittance, and after
ward told that he could get in by signing
an application for membership and paying
an initiation fee, but as there was no food
in the house except a few sandwiches
he retired. A house near by was said to
contain food, which could be had at a cost
of a guinea for a chop, a guinea for a
potato and so on. That didn't do either.
Then the cabby, touched by the anguish
of his fare and assured that the plainest
fodd would more than satisfy a man the
sides of whose stomach were knocking to
gether like castanets, drove to "a little
green cabin stranded in the roadway in
Piccadilly," frequented and sustained by
cabmen, and there the suffering American
got the steak and potatoes and bread and
tea that his system clamored for. The
food was good, and the company congenial
and well-mannered, so the story ended
with the return of a happy man to his
hotel, but ho still wonders that the habits
of London should be so very different from
the habits of American cities. Other
Americans have been heard of whoso ex
periences have stirred in them the same
surprise. One of them is Mr. Ralph him
self, who says:
'"Why London does not demand all-night
restaurants I don't know, except it be that
the English have developed the home, their
love of it, and its capacity for giving satis
faction as no other people have. And Eng
land, be it remembered, is all English.—

Mr. Towne has been doing good work in

Los Angeles should have the Democratic
state convention. There seems to be a
disposition on the part of the northern
committeemen to concede the convention to
Los Angeles, but it cannot be secured with
out some effort. The whole matter lies
with tho state committee, and It might be
well for the committeemen of the south
ern part of the state to make a long pull
and a strong pull for Los Angeles right
away. The local Republicans are agitating
the question of holding their state conven
tion in this city. There is no reason why
Los Angelas should not have both conven
tions.
Supervisor Hartley says that the boards
Of primary election in every precinct in the
county have been completed. The selection
of names has been a very difficult task
for the board, notwithstanding the differ

of the names. By the primary law the board
is required to select the names of fifteen
persons on the precinct register from each
precinct. There are some 174 precincts in
tho county, making, therefore, 2600 names,
or one-tenth of the voters of the county.
Judge McKinley was present at the lunch
given to Mr. Towne at the Sliver Republi
can club in this city a few days ago. The
judge was called upon for a speech and re
sponded in a very happy vein. and. after
referring to his early college life with Mr.
Towne and his personal esteem of him as
a man, had occasion to say that the cam
paign of 1866 had closed, whereupon he
turned to Mr. Towne and said he desired to
correct himself, as he had never heard the
Silver Republicans had closed their cam
paign. The judge intended this as a joke,
but he unwittingly brought out a fact that

It ia reported on good authority that
Governor Budd will not be a candidate for
re-election. The governor's health is poor
and he feels that another term might per
manently Impair it. It is understood that
the governor's choice is Mr. Jeter, the pres
ent lieutenant-g-overnor. It is mistrusted
however, that Jeter's candidacy Is but n
blind and that the real object is to bring
out a dark horse at the proper time: that
while Governor Budd does not want to
succeed himself, he does want very badly
to name the lucky man and, of course, this
means any other than Maguire.
Congressman Maguire. from all reports,
has the lead. Phelan is out of the race and
will probably stand for re-election as
mayor of San Francisco. H. M. La Rue,
the present railroad commissioner, is also
a candidate. La Rue made a splendid run
for railroad commissioner four years ago.
Beyond this he Is unknown except that he
has made a good official. The light at the
present writing lies between Maguire and
the man whom Governor Budd shall spring
upon the convention.
There does not seem to be a stir even for
any other of the state offices. Thus far no
names have been mentioned on the Dem
ocratic side. But, of course, if the nominee
for governor comes from the north the
south will probably be given the honor of
naming the lieutenant-governor. Here is
an opportunity for Southern California.

Instance, the county clerk, recorder, aud
itor, treasurer, tax collector and assessor
each receive a salary ol $3000 per annum,
while the. pay? $3000 and receives more
services. The district attorney receives

have sought the office of district attorney
of this county,, and. then by made $1000 for
the term over bis s^te^effice.

also anxious for the. nomination, and over
in Alameda there are a half dozen aspirin',
men for gubernatorial honors. The latter
are in a warm light and the prospects ar
that they will be left out in the cold v
Fitzgerald's advantage.
Among the offices to be filled next fail
ari# two justices of the supreme court, the
terms of Van Fleet and McFarland end
ing January, 1899. It'ls talked by the silver
fore s that one of these nominees will come
from the, north and one from the south.
Tly ro has been considerable specula.tion
as to who-will, be the lucky man from the
south. Several names have been mr-n
--lloned, hut It would appear at the present
writing that Judge Van Dyke can have the
nomination for the asking. Judge Van
Dyke is a firm believer in the silver cause.
In, tills he Is consistent, for he was v an out
and-out sliver man long before the money
question was brought so prominently be
fore the public. From all that can be
learned, however, he Is not seeking any
nomination from the sliver forces, but If
he will consent to accept tho nomination
for justice of the supreme court, ho will, re
ceive tho hearty support of every silver
man In the. state, of California, and this
would mean his election.
HERMIT OF THE OHIO
Queer Character Who Has Lived Alone
for Fifty Years
Lewis county, Kentucky, has a hermit in
the person of Alexander Shaw, who has
lived in one spot for fifty years. Mr. Shaw's
lonely cabin is situated ln the bosom of
a beautiful cluster of evergreens, only a
few miles from the banks of the Ohio
river, yet the narrowing path leading to
the place by winding around among the
hills is a very rough one and difficult to
ascend.
This spot its queer occupant selected
some fifty years ago as a place of retreat,
whither he could steal away from the
world and Its distraction.
Mr. Shaw's cabin is a very small one of
two rooms, with one solitary four-pane
window In the end, and a small porch on
one side. As you enter from the porch on
one side is a little parlor, scarcely 12x10
feet, with cozy-looking- fireplace, a heavy
floor of yellow pine, a couple of arm chairs
made from the saplings of the forest, a
small table with handsomely carved leg-?,
and In the corn»r of this little room Is a
number of triangular shelves, which con
tain a number of volumes on the subject of
medicine, on which subject Mr. Shaw is
well read, and has been called to use his
skill, which was successful where prom
inent physicians were of no avail. It is a
difficult matter to persuade him to leave
home, as he says he studies medicine for
pleasure only.
Mr. Shaw has in his collection of books
a number of volumes of recent Issue, but
how he came ln possession of these no one
knows, as he is seldom seen away front
his hut. In the other room Is a broad
bedstead, where he sleeps on a bed made
of hides of opnosums, skunks, minks and
even bear skins, and awakes ln the morn-
InK with his eye on a larpe lithograph of
a handsome young: woman, but who she Is
is a mystery. Tradition has it that this
picture is that of a Miss Wilson. Mr.
Shaw's former, and. In fact, only sweet
heart, who, having" died at a tender age.
Mr. Shaw never married.
llr. Shaw is a native of the Keystone
state, and is of German descent, which
language he speaks, along: with French
and English. He refused to tell his age.
saying he would tell some time his whol -
story. He is said to be fourscore years or
more, and it is expected at his "death a
history of his queer life will be found aboul
his cabin. His hair and beard are long
and white, and his face is pale from agr
and absence of the rays of the sun.
How he makes his living Is also a mys
tery, unless it Is by trapping and hunting,
but how he gets his supplies or where Ie
not known. He Is only ten miles from the
C. and O. railroad, yet never saw a loco
