The old, but beautiful cantata of
"Queen Esther," was presented to a
large audience at Natatonum Hall, last
Thursday evening by local Juneau
talent. Mr. Willis Nowell acted as
musical director, and the performance
was altogether very creditable. A
number of good voices were heard in the
different parts. However, the choruses,
the most beautiful part of the cantata,
were rather weak for so large a hall.
This weakness was overcome by the
excellent orchestra that played the ac
companiment.

Mrs. Josie Sumner, Bremond, Texas,
writes, April 15, 1902: "I have used
Ballard's Snow Liniment in my family
for three years. I would not be without
it in the house. I have used it on my
little girl for growing pains and aches
in her knees. It cured her right away.
I have also used it for frost bitten feet,
with good success. Tt is the best lini
ment I ever used.' " 25c, 50c, $1.00. For

The Washington, D. C., correspon
dent of the Seattle P.-I., sends the fol
lowing to his paper in regard to some
Alaska affairs:
The president and attorney general
have fully determined to carry out
their plan of having a full examination
made of judicial affairs in Alaska be
fore deciding upon the successors of
Judge Brown and Judge Wickersham.
It was said today that the man selected
to carry on this investigation will hold
a higher position than that of special
agent, and it is possible that some per
son of wide reputation and high ability
outside of the department of justice
will be selected. The appointment will
probably be made within a few days.
Gov. Brady, of Alaska, arrived in
Washington today, ostensibly for the
purpose of talking with the officials of
the interior department about the ter
ritory's exhibit of the St. Louis exposi
tion.
The governor is glad of an opportu
nity, however, to find out how the land
lays in regard to his reappointment
next month.
Ilis present term will expire June 6,
and although there has been a half
hearted attempt to prevent his reap
pointment, the indications are that he
will be named for a third term. The
governor called at the White House
this morning and had a talk with the
! president.
