SIDEWALKS IX BAD Mi MM
The sidewalks In Skagway In
many places are in a deplorably
unsafe condition aud it would be a
matter o< small surprise to us :o
at any time hear of a bad accident
happening to some pedestrian pass
ing over them. Iu the sections to
which we refer the sidewalks were
built of inch lumber which, at best,
was only a flimsy substitute for
what should have been used, and
having seen years of service in a
climate totally unsuited to their
preservation, are now in a state
where a person's weigh- upon a
weakened board in one of them mav
cause (he same to break, to the
serious injury of the ore stepping
upon it. In many Instances where
the plaaks are not rotted they are
so springy that the constant travel
over them has so loosened the nails
by which they were originally f ast
ened to the string pieeos under
neath, that they have pracicall
nothing to hold them in place, and
If two persons are walking abreast
and 0:10 of them happens to step
first upon a plank it causes the
opposite end o£ it to ri:ise suffi
ciently to prove a serious menace
to the one whom they are accom
panied by.
With the largely increased num
ber of strangers now coming into
Skagway who, upon thoir arrival
hero naturally wish to see all that
'here is to see. and who are ramb
ling over the town at all hours of
the day and early evening, It is
highly probable, if something is not
done at r.uce, that a serious accident
may occur, for which the municipal
ity would bo held liable and
for which in all likelihood the
town would be mulcted in heavy
damages, whereas, by a little fore
sight upon the part of the town
council in seeing that those to
whom the public safety and welfare
is entrusted are perforating their
duties in a proper manner, the
danger of the town treasury being
depleted in the settlement of dam
age suits may be reduce I to the
minimum.
How a Secret
Was Obtained ||
Bv MARTHA MONROE
Two men met ou tlie custom house
wharf in N'ipH where baggage was
being transferred from a recently ar
rived ocean steamer.
"Good morning. Viti eitzo," said one.
"What are you doing here'*"
Vineenzo KaLiviii gave the other a
look enjoining silence and led the u.iy
to a place where they would not Ijc
observed.
"Well. iJiuseppe. 1 am ttyilig to
make an lowest living carrying b.>g
gage. The truth is I am tired of a
criminal life and wish i»» reform."
"Hut you have nothing to fear. Ue
ing a menil't r ■ i the C.r orra, you are
aln-nvN suiv of protect! >u whatever you
do."
"That ma; be. but 1 i ia>t natural
ly a villain. 1 ivas laaile so by cir- j
enmstanees."
"Well. Villi en::#. i w;<!i you success
in your efforts to i :irry l i«-h men's j
trunks for au oc :-W:ial lira that you
may make by d<>iu^ so. As for me. 1
wish i had your o'.'portiiuititfs ill a
membership of the famorra."
"Why don't you join the so ietyV
"It M'on't have me. I have secret
enemies amoiu tiie members v li <
keep me out. Nevertheless I have
been reasonably successful without the
Cumorra's assistance. I have just
steered au American tourist into the
hands of bandits anil shared in the
ransom."
"I wisu you wouia lenu me smut- m
| It I would like to set lip n wineshop
! whereby to make n living."
j "How mtu-h do you need?"
"Five hundred lire would start me."
Giuseppe Zand la thought a few
minutes, then saiI«1: "I need something
you possess. You ueed something I
possess. Suppose we make n trade.
Tou wish money to set you np in busi
ness. ! wish to he a member of the
Camorra. I will give you all you re
quire for your purpose. You give me
a see ret that will enable me to gain
admission into the society."
"What secret?"
"Who murdered Pi Ouido?"
Viucenzo winced. "What g"od would
it do you to know that':" lie aske.l.
"It would open to me the doors of
the Cainortii. The police are straining
every nerve to discover who commit
ted that crime. I.et ine once intimate
that I am in the secret and the Ca
morra will gladly admit me."
After some more b\lk Vin vii'o said
that hi- would iliink the matter over
and would give his friend an answer
on the steps of the sea wall at 0 o'clock
the next evening. When they came to
gether again Vlnceuzo s-iId:
"Glnsepi>e. the risk I would run in
giving you the information you wi.-h -
the risk of my life—is worth much
more than 500 lire."
"How much is it worth?"
Giuseppe looked at the other, won
dering how hif.ii a price lie couM pu;
on his secret. Finally he -ilil. "<\>ulii
you give me 3.000 lire':"
"Yes, I will give you that. An ad
mission to the Camorra would Iv
wyrth tha.t to iu^-"
"Swear tluit you wili divulge the se
cret to no one."
"IIow could 1 use it without divulg
ing it?*'
"I sci'. Swear that you will tell no
one tli.it I gave it to you."
"I swear t*» that."
"When will ymi make the trade?"

L si; h an a i cint. and they ueed

"That I will surely do."
A few davs later Vlmenzo reported
tli it he had waylaid an Englishman
on ti • height* ha- U »<f the city and
taken • "tisid . !de money from him.
lie w ;s promised that should he he ar

tonishment mingled with horror."
"Giuseppe!" he exclaimed or, rather,
moaned.
"l>on't l«e afraid,'* said the carabineer.
"You are safe so far as the govern
ment is concerned. Serve me a liter
of wine, and I will tell you something."
Yinoetiso pulled himself together,
brought the wine, and Giuseppe told
him ti at he had bought his secret not
to secure a inembi rship in the Canjor

UNIVERSAL LIBERTY.
So. now, iu tills crisis of the
fnte of liberty, if any of the re
nowned men of litis nation
should betray her cause. it were
better that, he hail been un
known to fame. It need uot be
hopeil that the brightness of
their past glory will dazzle the
eyes of |>osterity. or illumine tlie
pa pes of impartial history. A
few of its rays may still linger
on a fading *ky. lint they will
very soon be whelmed iu dark
ness. for unless progressive
civilization and the iniTeaslnjt
love >'t" freedom throughout the
Christian and civilized world
are fallacies the sun of liberty,
of tii.ii! rs:il liberty, is already
above tin- horizon and fast cours
ing to his meridian splendor,
where ii" advocate of slavery, no
apologist of slavery, can look
