The reports fr<»ii time to time sent out of the destitution among the reai- denU of Labrador fail to describe ade- fluateilv the conditiaoa of misery pre- â-¼aiiliogf there, writes a correspondent. Labrador is a vast, unexplored terri- tory, extending from the north *ore of the Gu£f of St. Lawrence to the wa- ters of Hudson Bay, with a coast line of 1,000 miiles fringed by inMmerable hiarbora or iniets in the bluff, moun- tainous shore, each harbor serving as a location for a Newfoundland fishing: station or "room," as It is ca:liled. La- brador is a dependency of Newfound- Eland, and is used as a sort of enlarged fishing territory for th^ adventurous ieCanders, who migrate there every spring in their trim little schooners, taking aJong tbeir families, household goo3s, and sometimes their live stock, and reaping a harvest from thie deep uatii the approach of winter forces them to return again to their homes with their fare of codfish. Some 30.000 New- foundlianders viisit Labrador in this > manner each year, but besides them there are 3,000 or 4,000 resident fiaifasr men or "livyeres," so called becauao they remain there ail the year round. They are usuaJlily very poor, and eke oub a miserable existence by fishing in sum- mer, hunting in winter, and caring for the houses and fishery premises of the Newfoundiland planters during the per- iod these are away from the coast. Words faiil to describe the condition of these "Oivyeres." They are probably THE MOST WRETCHED of any who speak the Angto-Sazon tongue. Poverty is ever present with them, sickness is almost uninterferred with by medicines or doctors; reCigion is aCmoat unknown, except through the occasional visit of the itinerant mis- sionary ; education they liave none, un- less in the meet populous centres ; their food is the coarsest ; their raiment is ..canty, and the wretched hovels they dwell in offer little or no shelter frrau the winds. How they contrive to live through a winter of eight months, when they axe sliut off by the great ice bar- rier from the outside wonid, is a mys- tery ; wily they remain there After one such experience is only explicable by the fact that they are too poor to get away to more favorable regions.. The coast it barren and forbidding, devoid almost of soil and producing lit- tCe or nothing in the shape of garden stuff. The Newfoundland Govern- ment runs a mai2t stramer along the ooast during the fisthdng season, from June 15 to Oct. 15, and the Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen an Englisii institu- tion under the patronage of Queen Vic- toria, has been working there in the post few years withi a steam yacht car- rying a ooupte of doctors, and two small hospitals established at central points. Theae and the fishing vessels are the only ones that ply the desolate region. To make a trip in the mail steajuelr is to be brought fact to face with the destitution of the ialand. At a place called Boulters Hock was, without exception, the worst human habitation I i^ve ever met with. Im- agine an ancient and rotten plank hut, scarcely up to the standard of a decent oow pen, without door or windows. The present squatter, finding the inside too i.orge, had palled down the ceiling, or part of it, and had roug'hCy divided off one end ; the inside held A DECREPIT STOVE and a wooden bunk or bed place. The occupants, man and wife, had been mar- ried two years, and he had spent the whole time here fishing. Alongside was hajf a small hut, well jtrown with grass and moss outside, which they were slowly building to accommodate their anticipated famiCv. Clothes were at a minimum and food barely enough to prevent immediate starvation. TJiis nov€>l was perched on a barren rock over a rough harbor. At Stag Run anoth- er house was visited. It was Jdttle if any improvement on the above, except that it was somewhat larger. It con- sisted of one room with two bunks, a cracked stove in the centre, two wood- en trunks oontaining the eartliLiy pos- sessions of the family, and an outside porch wliere the dogs sleep. These dogs were used in hauiling the sledges with firewood and spoils of the chase in winter. In this wretched place were a mother and seven children â€" the young- est four months oCdâ€" and the father and eCdfist b<^ were away at another har- bor. At a ftoce called Long Harlx>r we very soon had crowded deck, for here the settlers were fatws absolute star- vation. Two Newfoundland planters, homeward bound and anchored in the harbor, came aboard and asked what oould be done for the people, as they knew them to be in the direst poverty. AiLready many famiilies were existing on flour alone, having neither molasses nor tea. The mission steamer arrived while we ilay here, and the superintendent. Dr. Grenfeil, took charge of affairs. He made a grant of food, and provided the most needy ones with clothing. In re- turn they were to bring out of the woods of the interior during the win- ter and sa,w up for the steamer's use next year a certain amount of lumlier for fueti. Near Pack's Hajrlror were a number of famiilies whose ofaildre'n had been running about STARK NAKBUi All the summer, and had been^found by an Anitflican missionary in that state. At tnoian Harbor we once more met the mission steamer Sir Donald. The mission has a hospita^i the,Te in charge of an Engllish doctor and nurse. As it is nne of the best thlarbors on the coast it is largely frequented, and the hos- pital folks are desperately hard wlS-k- ed during the summer and doomed to alimost living burial during the winter, for they volunteer for the whole year's service. They hpd the poorest peopile employed at building a road from the hospital! to the landing place so that patients might be brought ailong on a stretcher with the least discomfort in- stead of being carried over rocks and hummocks as is now the case. It must lie understood that there are no roads in Labrador in the ordinary sense of the word, for no roads woulld be of any use. In summer every one goes by boat, while in the winter the snow and ice render roads valueless. There is no rolling stock in Labrador, for the winter tow- ing is, of course, done on aledgea with, dogs. This road was to be paid for ia ffiour and foodstuffs at the rate of 9S a man. It is a Long time liefore the visitor understands how valuless cash is to settlers living in such out-of-the- way ptiaces ; clothes, flour, molasses, tea, coou;, and oU are far more acceptable. The mission folks told us they bad 110 large sacks of clothing brought out free from £lngila,hd to this place by one of the salt vea^ls, and had distributed over eighty up to that time, receiving wood enough to burn in the hospitail all win- ter in return. We saw them reilieve Qoe family who ware without clothing enough to work in. The stock of male garments had been so exhausted that there were for(-«d on the men some girls' flanneT petticoats, to moke up as best they could into shirts and jerseys. The need of clothing is extreme, the snow is on the ground, the ponds are frozen over, winter has b^un, and yet. within a fortnight, we have seen 200 almost naked children. THE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE are intensely grateful for the assis- tance they receiv^ but one cannot fail to be struck b»^he hopeless, despair- ing look apoTtim^ a>ll, young and old, as if they xeolisBi tliat they never would be better off, and that they were foolish in maintainii^ the unequal con- flict with destitution and disease. At Grady our ship was invaded by the entire population of "livyeres," twenty-eight souls in all. The heads of the seven families poured into our ears the fam iiliar tale of scarcity of food for the winter. One had only to look at their half-naked bodies and their faces, lank and lean with chronic semi-starva- tion, to realize how true their tale was. When we went ashore and saw the bare houses and the meagre food, and learn- ed that they were short of powder and shot to hunt with, we felt we must do what little we could for them. Picture a desolate harbor, not a tree to be seen, hardly a living tiling visible, a rough, squalud house of rude planks, two or three forms or stoolB, and a hungry lot of hall-dlad mortals sitting down to dry caplin, a small fish like a sardine but not nearly so succulent, dry sea biscuit, and tea without sugar or milk, only a trifle of molasses and no but- ter or pork. Not one in the whole isolated community could read a line, so the books we offered them were use- leas. Add to that the fact that they hod no ammunition for their rusty muz- zle-loaders, and but a very few old rat traps to catch foxe», and you have the dismal spectacle prR.sented to us on this dark, coLd evening in early November preceding an eight mcmths' winter. At Spotted Islands we learned of a very distressing a««ident. Th»>. eldest son and only support of one desperately poor family had gone out shooting the previous day and had not returned. Whiile we were there they found his empty gun on the rocks and a dead duck drifting near. The unfortunate feilllow must have clambered down the rocks after the bird and, Suipping some how. fallen into the sea, been carried off by the waves. It was a fortunate thing that the Government of New- foundliand put stores of flour and mo- lasses at certain central points along the coast, for otherwise hundreds must starve. At each piace we called we found some families borrowing A PAN OF FLOUR from their more lavored neighbors, and with no other food in the house, except perhaps a few dry caplin and, if they have powder and shot, a few sea birds. While socne families have enough for themseilves, it invariably happens that those Tho have no means uf getting food, either by hunting or barter, and so the men in authority are compelled to dolie out just enough flour and mo- lasses to keep body and soul together until the enfeebled IxMlies of these straggling poor and their children fall a pray to scrofula, consumption, scurvy, rickets, and the hundred and one other ailments which chronic semi-starvation involves. i At Venison Tickf'e the people were all rejoicing over the arrival' of a vessell from Newfoundland with their winter's supp^lies of provisions, without which their position must have been desper- ate indeed, for had she not arrived there would not be left flour enough on the coast to feed the people during the long winter. Near here we met an old man named BraziilJ, perhaps thepluckest on the whole desolate coast. Though ovex 70 years did, he is going to re- main absoCutely alone all the winter on an isiland two miles from the mainland and try to make a living out of trap- ping foxes. By Christmas every soul in the neighborhood wiill have gone backl into the wooded country, where huts are buiHt among the trees, for the warmth and sht^.ter and nearness to game and firewood, and he wUI not have any one within thirty miles of him. Hunting and trapping are the sole oc- cupation of the people during the win- ter, and they think nothing of travel- ing one to two hundred mi'les to the HudstHi Bay Company's stores, to ex- change their peltries for ammunition and necessary foodstuffs. In the early spring they catch seaCIs in nets when the ice breaks up, or salimon and trouti in the rivers, wihich products are bar- tered with the planters, when these come aflDiig, for hooks, lines, and l)oat.a to fish with, and food to sustain their fami'liefi while so engaged. Their sum- mer's oatch of codfish goes to provide a ^ylnter's food, and THE EXORBITANT PRICES charged for everything make it almost impossiblte for them to ever save any- thing. Iif bod years, like the pres- ent, the Government must intervene to keep tJiem from perishing. These conditions are the ones under which generations have lived and pass- ed away cm this forbidding territory, and alil obseirvers competent to speak on the subject a^ree that unless tho whoillB system of fishing and trading on t^ ooast is ailitered there is no hope of ever effecting any improvement. Even if the fistheries are good there is Qoth-< Ing available for these settlers except a miaerab3« plttaaoe,. a mere existence, in factâ€" enougtb tood to keep ilife in them. and «^ooglh eCiothes to keep them partlty covered. "The oiUy alterdatlve is Ua tlue NewfoaadtlBod Government to grant them free poaaoge to Canada or the United States, or traniHilant them onto its own coast, where they might try to do better. While they remain in Labrador the world may ex- pect to hear every year the story of poverty and starvation among tnem. The main fact is that the fishery is now 1)ecoming inadequate to their needs and the catches are not nearl,y so good as in former times. Too poor to get away themselves, and having no repre- sentative to bring their grievances be- fore the Newfoundfand Legislature, they remain with the knowledge that when edi their own scanty food is ex- hausted the perB(»i authorized to keep them from starving will step in and provide enough to support them until! spring brings the pdanters, with their veasellB and crews, to the coast once more. As our steamer crossed the Straits of BelAe Isle on her homeward run to St. John's and the stem, forbidding outlines of the Labrador coast faded from our view., we could not but wonder how the wretched beings we left be- hind us would survive the miseries that face Ithem during the dreary winter they must go through, in a human in- ferno with every accessory that goes to make mankind unhappy and wretched where they wiifl be enclosed by a bar NEW USB FOR X-RAYS, It is said thut the X-rays have* been successfully apiiliad in France to the detection of adulterations of "tooS^ Where the adulterants consists of some kind of mineral matter.

Chief of Police Robertson, of Portland, Ore., ia in receipt of a letter from Sitka, Alaska, solving a imystery of forty years ago. In 1856, Vancouver, Wash- then a sparselly Inhabited settlement, waa a favorite place of recreation for the Hudson Bay Company's men. Among the famildes then dwelling there was that of Phillip Heidenfeldt, who had a beautifuL, flaxen-haired boy named Willie, at that time 4 years old. Wiillie was adored by a Hudson Bay Company Scotchman known as "Long" John McGregor. "Long" John was weul fixed in money matters, having saved about 930,000 during his long ser- vice with the company. Aild this he promised to bequeath to Willie if his parents wouild allow him to adopt the chiild. The Heidenfeldts were poor, but not so needy as to be forced to part with the child. They refused |5,- 000 in gold coin from MicGregQt;fr*~ ''' privilege of making Willie his heir and taking him with him. In April of that year "Uini" John re- turned to the frozen Amio, where his busineae was with the Indiana of inter- ior Alaska. With iVtoGregor's depar- ture the ohilld disappeared. That the Scotchman had stolen the child was not doubted by any one knowing his attach- ment for the boy, but no trace of man and boy could be had. "Long" John, it is scarcely necessary to say, never revisited Vancouver, and some time in the sixties was frozen to death while returning to Sitka from a business trip to the Interior in an open sled. McGregor made a will, and when death olaimed him every dollar of his wealth went to distant relatives in Scotland. The greater part of McGregor's time in Alaska Wink spent among the In- dians, he placea the stolen Ixiy In cus- tody of a tribe with which his buslE?>« relations were the most extensive, and with that trilje Willie wjis when death overtook "Long" John, and Heidenfeldt, now a man of, 44 years of age, is with the same Indians to-day. Ho frequent- ly visits Sitka, bearing an Indian name, and speaks English with the broken ac- cent characteristic of an Indian. HeidenfeCdt's people have heard no- thing of him for more than thirty years, and natursily believed him dead. The writer of the letter was in Vancouver when the Ixiy was stcCen and knew him well. The boy was peculiarly marked at his birth. He had but one joint on each of bis little fingers, and one of his eyes was black and the other a dark brown. This optical} defect in Heidenfeldt, when the writer saw him in Sitka last month, recalled the abduction of forty years ago. Engaging him in conversa- tion, he noticed allso the other physical defect marking the child. Heiden- feildt said that he rememljered being taken from his home Inr a rough looking man and placed aboard a ship. Beyond that his childhood recollectiuns are quite vague. But there can lie no possible doubt of this man being William Heid- enfeldt. His father and several broth- ers and sisters, now residing in Denver, will be communicated with. FIBSTKATE EBASON.
