Q.?_ city engineer, j . n. umgic, wao accidentally shot and killed/this morn' !ng by his friend, "Willie Humme, 15 years of age, son of "William A. Humme of Xo. 6 Council street, the tragedy happening at Mr. Dingle's residence at Xo. 139 Tradd street. The Bhooting was done with a parlor rifle with which the boys had been playing for some time. The tiagedy occurred about 9.30 o'clock. The boys had been shooting at targets set up about the yard, and just a short time before the ac" j 'nir.wlo >,0/1 ClQGIlt HcippCLlfcfU ;ui a. uuu called to the "boys, advising care in the. handling of the rifle. She had hardly turned from the "window when . the report of the rifle was again heard and James called to his mother that he was shot. Hurried calls were made for physicians, but the little fellow died be fore medical aid reached him. He had been shot in the heart, but exactly how it happened the wounded boy was unable to tell and Humme was also unable to explain it. The explanation is probably to be found in the unconscious carelessness of handling the rifle. The inquest will i hp held tomorrow. Young Ding)e was a very bright little fellow. He was a student at the Crafts school, and the fact that he was at home this morning is ex olain~d by the stafement that his yearly average was so high that he was excused from taking the examinations which are in progress at v ~ ^"1 SCUUUi.

CAROLINIANS HONORED. ?? Five Congressmen Land on Major j Committees. Washington, June 2.?Five of South Carolina's seven congressmen are j I placed on what are called the major committees of the house of represen tatives as a result of the action of the democratic caucus, -which today confirmed the selections rt mmended by the democratic members of the ways and means committee. These twelve committees are of such importance that no member of them is allowed to serve on any other committee. Representative Richard S. Whaley, of the 1st district, is the youngest member of the delegation in length of service. He has been placed on * ?rv>Qr*ir?A three commint;t;s, mcx^uaub manu& | and fisheries, invalid pensions and industrial arts and expositions. Lever Heads Agriculture, The only chairmanship which goes to South Carolina is that of the great committee on agriculture, which falls' to Representative Lever, of the 7th district. Representative Pinley, of *th-e 5th district, "who is the chairman of the State delegation, gave up his chairmanship of the committee on printing in order to retain the more important position of ranking member of the committee on postoffice and I x posi-ruaus. As a member of the committee on appropriations, Representative Johnj'son, of the 4th district, "will continue ! !as chairman of the sub-committee, which draws the legislative, executive, and judical appropriation bill, although he failed to secure the chairmanship of the District of Columbia committee, to which he considered j himself entitled by reason of having | ""' ''a +TTT/-? vooTV".

Desiring to .serve on the new committee on roads, in whose creation he took a leading part, - Representative Byrnes,, of the 2d district, relinquished his membership on banking and currency and is now placed on roads, war claims and mines and mining. On the war claims committee he is ranking member. Representative J. W. Ragsdale, of the 6th district, has landed on the im portant banking and currency committee, an unusual assignment for a new member. Senator Tillman said this evening as to Mr. Ragsdale's sue- I cess in this matter: "I am surprised and gratified at his go luck and am bound to believe it must have been some good management, also, on his part." ALASKA* DOGS. Single Teams Sometimes Brings as ITnrMi as $2.#00. Miss Emma Leonidas Kelly, the first white woman to go down the Yukon, has qualified hy many strenuous experiences in Alaska to he considered as an authority on the dog teams of i that country, says a Sitka letter.

They can stand more hardships and go without food longer than any other dog in the north. cs-arach xchioh are in the i JLTC KJX *? v* ~ majority, are a cross between a wolf and a dog, and usually gray or white in color, but occasionally black. Their weight is from 50 to 90 pounds. They rarely sleep under shelter, preferring to curl up in the snow even with the mercury 60 degrees below zero. In this respect the native animals are better fitted for their work than +Via immiVrant. rin2s. In severe weath er the latter wear little moccasins made of heavy moose skin, while nature has provided the native dogs with heavy fur covering the whole foot, even between the toes. The sleds in general use are 7 feet long, 17 inches wide and 7 inches high, and an immense load of freight can be packed and lashed on them. The sled is guided in the rail by a pole, known as "G" pole. The dogs are hitched about six feet ahead of the sled, and the driver " ' i-_u: ? I waiKs DacK 10 mem, uuiumg uu w wc, | "G" pole to keep the heavily loaded | ! sled straight in the narrow trail so that it will not tip over on the rough, sliding places. In case the sled is not heavily loaded the dogs are hooked up close to the sled and the driver ride<s a greater part of the time?that is, i f the weather is not too mid, in which case he prefers" running to keep warm. On the creek beds there is often from one to five inches of water, and it is always a difficult matter to make the dogs go through this. They dis like getting their f?et wet, but they must keep the trail and pull through it. Immediately after getting out of the water it begins to form in littl e ice bails between their toes, and the whole team of dogs will lie down on the trail in their harness and go to picking and cleaning their feet, which are rarely ever sore or frozen, unless they have been in water several hours. From the last snow, in the spring until the first in the fall the dogs have but little to do. At the trading posts? Dawson, Circle City, Fairbanks, Eagle, Minock?and a number of other camps where they have fair streets or roads, the dogs are used to draw light freight about in little two-wheeled carts, and they are used in i;he mines and on the trails for packing. The pack saddles are made of heavy canvas, and the average dog will pack thirty or forty pounds. Some dogs will li? down in the mud or water with their packs on, while others seem to feel the responsibility of protecting their packs, and are exceedingly careful in picking their way through thick brush or over fallen trees that obstruct the trail, leaping over pools of mud and picking their footing with great care on the small 'rocks in fording the streams. They rarely bark. Th-e dogs are fed once a day when working; the bet,, feed is the Yu^on dried salmon, but failing this, bacon has proved the best substitute. It is cut in small pieces and boiled in a quantity of water an hour or more, and then flour, corn, meal, rice or boiled oats is added and cooked well in the greasy water until the whole becomes a thin, smooth mush. Each dog has his own pan, and it is filled with the food and carefully guarded by its owner until pnnl and then eagerly devoured. The native dogs "will steal anything they can eat; in the absence of something more tempting they dote on ropes, harness, old rubber boots, mocsnnwshoes or anything of i .. ??? ? _ _ the like nature which they can chew on. The Siwash dogs have the same characteristics as the Indians of the [country; they are the most ungrateful creatures in the world, ar.d their nature is absolutely void of attachment jor sentiment. The Siwash, both Indian and dog, care for one only as long as he feeds them. [ A good team of three, four or five ! dogs with a light load will average 40 I miles a day. The same team when "heavilv loaded cannot make over two and a half or three miles an hour. However, there is a vast difference in the gait of dogs; some are very speedy and have great endurance, while others are fast at the start, but soon play out and become extremely slow. There are a number of foreign dogs *? "R Arn a rr? "Wpw ILL tut; UUUUU j KJW . foundland and a heterogeneous multitude of others.
