Queer Brotherhood Founded Af
ter the Gold Rush.
Requirement of Admission Is ExpsrU

Parallel of Latitude Skagway
Is Chief Headquarters.
Skagway, Alaska. To havo traveled
Into tho northern regions above tho
flfty-olghth parallel sometime during
one's career is the Initial requirement
for membership in the Arctic Brother
hood, unique among fraternal organ
izations. The Arctic Brotherhood was formed
shortly after tho gold rush to the
Klondike in 1898, and now includes in
the northern regions several hundred
active members. The first requirement
einco its organization has been an ex
tended residence above tho fifty-eighth
parallel, with tho exception of a few
distinguished citizens from the United
States and other countries who upon
their arrival In Alaska havo been made
honorary members.
Among its members "above tho flfty
elchth parallel" tho Arctic Brother
hood takes precedent over every civil
court If a matter of dispute of any
nature nrlBos between Arctic brothers,
the question is carried before the
membership of the local lodge at one
of Its weekly meetings.
All parties to tho dispute present
their arguments and then all tho
brothers not involved in the question
cast a vote which determines the set
tlement of the issue.
Various plans are conceived and ex
ecuted by the brotherhood from time
to time for tho furtherance of the In
terests of the northwest. Strangers
to the country are entertained at tho
lodges of the organization, and If they
nre prospectors they are supplied with
the most reliable information at hand.
Tho main body of the organization
is located at Skagway, Alaska. There
are others at Dawson, Nome, Fair
banks, Cordoda nnd Seward. The
lodgehouse at Skagway is declared to
be one of the most distinctive build
ings of its kind in the world. Tho In
terior is decorated with trophies of the
nrctic regions, of every description.
The motto of tho organization Is
"No Boundary Line," and Its insignia
fs a miniature gold miner's pan, em
bossed with the IuIUrIs A. B., with
three small gold nuggets beneath the
letters.

not far from Toulouse, a terrible ex

and sister, named VanQoethen, as the
result of which the woman lies in the
hospital dying, with a fractured skull,
while her brother is In the same placo
desperately overcome by shock and
exposure. The story of their ad

of Alpine tragedies.
I. M. Van Goothen, who is an en

accompanied by a friend, M. Bombar

sot out to climb Mt. Saurousse. They
made the ascent, but In returning they
took tho pathway leading to tho gla

As they crossed a dangerous part of
the path Mile. Goothen slipped and
slid down an ice incline toward the
edge of a deep precipice. Her brother,
in endeavoring to save her, also slip

clutching hold of a boulder. At the
same time ho grasped his sister's

DANGER
Disease Germs Lurking in Most
Swimming Tanks.
Tests Made by Scientists Show That
Abundance of Microbes Even in
Natjiorlums of Wealthy Clubs
Make Them Cesspools.
NcWYork. Tho average man who
stands at the edge of a swimming pool
ready to take tho plungo which for
him means refreshment and delightful
relief docs not realize that he is about
to exposo himself to the attack of mil
lions upon millions of dlseaso germs
lurking in tho tempting water before
him. It matters little whero this swim
ming pool happens to be, whether In
a fashionable clubhouso or In tho base
ment of an Kast Side tenement houso;
almost everywhere, owing to lnofll
cient supervision and ignorance of the
dangers Involved. thse pools are de
clared by certain investigators to bo
a menace to health.
So grave, In fact, do these Investi
gators consider the danger of. dlseaso

thought necessary to call an Interna

RATS GNAW GIRL'S FACE
Proprietor of Rooming House Breaks
Open Door and' Finds Body of
Missing Lodger.
Omaha, Neb. Tho face gnawed by
rats, the body of Miss Mamie Cajter
was found lu her room.
The young woman had been missing
since Saturday, and Christ Kalmpach,
proprietor of the rooming houso whero
she had lived for six years, decided
to force open the door of her room.
Tho faco of tho dead girl was so
badly mutilated that it was at first
believed the wounds hati resulted from
a gunshot.
Death Is thought to have been duo

A letter found In tho room, ad

IN POOLS
tlon Is a preliminary step to tho Inter
national conference.
"Swimming pools," says H. F. J. Por
ter, dlscubsing the matter in a recent
issue of the Survey, "are. little more
than cesspools." Tho public generally
regards them as refreshing, Invigorat
ing and beneficial, and few have ever
dreamed that they may be breeders of
disease. There aro hundreds of such
pools all over tho city. Recently in
the Interest of tho department of bac
teriology of tho University of Chicago,
K. N. Atkins mado a careful study of
five pools whoso water supply was
supposed to be clean. Investigation
proved that they caused allmentB of
eye, ear and throat and Intestinal dis
ease. Investigations in Hamburg and In
Purdue, Brown, Chicago and Yale unl
versltles showed that tho impurities
aro bacterial and chemical foreign
matter, and all detected tho presence
of danfic-rous dlseaso microbes. This
condition existed in places where tho
details of hygiene nnd sanitation nre
otherwise scrupulously looked after.
Examination of tho Hamburg poole
showed that water fresh from tho tap
contained 57 microbes a cubic Qentl
meter. After 74 persons had bathed In
the water thoro were 1,800 microbes
In the same quantity of water. When
494 persona had entered tho pool the
number had increased to 64,400, and
after 829 bathers had been in contact
with the water there were 1G4.000 ml
crobes present to tho cubic centl
meter.
The last figures are Interesting In
that they Bhow no proportionate In
crenso in the number of microbes, and
In that way illustrato the septic tank
theory; that Is, after a certain point
of development the septic condition of
water either kills tho microbes or
they devour each other when they
have become too numerous, thuB main
tainlng a maximum of impurity.
