Additional Local* and Items of Interest.
They Couldn't Slnjf.
Lust Wednesday evening, a little at
tor seven o'clock, three women were
walking down Seward street in Juneau.
They seemed cheerful and happy and
laughed and talked as they passed the
Newsman. Going to church, or per
haps prayer meeting, thought the wri
ter, for they seemed to have such good,
christian faces. The News man thought
no more of the interesting trio and hur
ried along to Third street, but on his
return he observed the three women
standing in the street at the cornor of
Front and Seward facing toward the
postotHce. They had a book from
which they were singing, and their
voices rang out so loud, so clear in the
pure evening air that the writer stopped
to hear. Presently a man came down
Seward street. The women were near
the sidewalk, and the pedestrian, as ho
neared the sweet singers, put hi9 hat in
correct position on his head, curled the
ends of his mustache with his lingers,
hut just as he was about to exhibit one
of those "please look at me" smiles, his
feet slipped and let the man down at full
length on the icy sidewalk. The celer
ity of his movements in getting up
would have surprised an engineer of a
fast mail train, but he finally gathered
himself together and scampered off
where he could not l>e seen. As soon
as the man got onto his feet one of the
women quit singing, and laugh, you
ought to have seen her. Then another
one of the trio stopped short and she
too could no longer contain her mirth.
No doubt her corset kept her sides
from a dangerous expansiou. Up to
this time the third woman continued in
the song?it had boon changed from a
trio to a solo?but the mirth of her sis
ters was too much for her, and the sing
ing stopped, but only for an instant.
Then one would sing a few words and
stop and laugh, another would tako up
the song to be relieved by the third and
the poor things just laughed and tried
to sing until the end of the verso when
all further efforts ceased. These good
true women came onto the street to do
God's will, to teach Christ and Him cru
cified, to tell the beautiful story to
those wicked Juneau people who do not
go to church, but the poor things made
a failure, and all because a man fell
down.
A Cheerful Liar.
A Texas boy who came to Alaska last
February wrote his sister a letter which
sho sent to an eastern paper, from
which we take the following extract:
"Juneau, Alaska, is an old Esquimaux
village aud 1 was much interested in
watching the Esquimaux with their
dogs and reindeer pulling their sleds.
It is too cold for cattle and horses here
as they have ice and snow the year
round, and in winter the days are only
a few hours long. Our voyage onded
at Skaguay and when I saw all the
snow and ice I began to wish I were at
home."
Juneau is not an Esquimaux village,
there are none of those peoplo there.
The boy probably saw some Indians.
He did not see any reindeer, for there
are none used in Juneau, and ho did
not see any Indians using dogs in pull
ing sleds, for the Indians haven't
enough sense to to make such good
use of dogs. The statement that it is
too cold for cattle and horses in this
part of Alaska is not only an unmitiga
ted lie, but wilfully so, for all the haul
ing is dono with horses, besides, Juneau
and Douglas City each have a flno dai
ry, with a large number of cows, and
other cattle. Daylight continues du
ring February from six to eight hours.
The letter published in the eastern pa
per is a continuation of lies from be
ginning to end. The boy was probably
sent here to reform him, but he seems
to have grown worse. Wo have been in
^ * **' a nlon
Alaska tor more man u jwu, ?>o 4UOV/
know the eastern climate, and the win
ters around Juneau are not near so
cold as iu the eastern or western states.
This descendant of Annanias in writ
ing of his trip from Victoria to Juneau,
says:
"Mountains covered with snow, huge
icebergs and glaciers along the coast
on one side of us and the deep blue sea
on tho othor."
Off again. During all that distance
reforred to there are but few places
where the ocean can be seen in coming
?Queen Charoltte's Sound and Dixon's
Entrance. Across each of these it is a
three or four hour's run for the Queen.
Wo regret that that Texas boy's name
and post office address is unknown to
us. The people of the earth should
bo warned of his lying qualifications.
The dog show on tho sidewalk near
the Louvre on Front street in Juneau
last Wednesday evening drew a large
crowd. It was free to everybody.
It was a nice gentle rain wo had last
Friday.
