This year has fifty-three Sundays in
which to read the Donglas Island News
and attend to other devotional matters.
Now that the hot weather has struck
us, local gardeners are sorry they did
not plant corn and watermelons.
Forest fires along Lynn canal are
said to be responsible for the heavy
elouds of smoke that at times almost:
obscnre the son.
The Juneau Transcript innocently
inquires iu what kind of "shape" the
Island firemen could win a Juneau
hose raco. That's easy, John. Square
3hape, of course.
The fact that typhoid exists io Ju
neau, should warn Douglas folks to be ;
careful of drains and sewer pipes. It
is a wise precaution to use a disinfect
ant in liberal quantities during this i
warm weather. A few cents spent in
this manner may prevent disease get
ting a foothold. Do it now.

"A FLOATER"
Last Satuaday morning the body of
a man was discovered floating in the ;
water opposite Smallwoodrs Store. |
Marshal McDonald immediately se-1
cured a boat and with the"assistance of '
several bystanders, brought the body
to the ball park and notified Coronor
Folsom. An inquest was held and the !
jury decided that the manT whose name
eould not be learned, had come to his
death by drowning. %
Marshal McDonald's police records
give the following description of the
man: Age, 25 to 35 years; height, 5
Jeet, 9 in.; weight, about 179 pounds;
hair, light; smooth face; there were no
marks on the body, fingers and toes all
perfect; the arm? showed the muscular |
development of a laborer; wore a truss
for a hernia on the right side; wore a
dark bine sweater, black pants, Presi
dent suspenders, laced shoes, No. 9,!
heavy wool undershirt and drawers,1
and dark ribbed wool socks, all nearly
new; pockets contained 81.59 in silver, |
about a balf-pennyweight of gold dust, j
and a silk handerchref with the initial
"H" in the corner. The body is buried
in the Douglas Cemetery, the grave
plainly marked.
AX EXCURSION
A large number of Dooglas Island
folks enjoyed a trip last Sunday on the
fine little steamer Georgia. Taku Har
bor and Snettisham were tbe places
?i9ited. Tbe day was a most beautiful
one, and the trip one continuous round
of pleasure. The Douglas Island Band
gave an added charm to tbe occasion
by the rendition of tbe usual good mu
sic. The pleasant and accommodating
officer in charge, Captain Thornton,
made every effort to make tbe trip a
pleasant one and his snccess in that re
spect exceeded all expectations. Dong
las folks will always be glad to repeat
the experience.
At Taku the pleasure seekers visited
the cannery and fi9h packing establish
ment, saw the 32G pound halibut and
the genial Superintendent Keegan who
looked nearly as big, tasted the salt
and smelled the far-famed fish smell.
A longer stop was made at Snetti
sham. Some climbed up the mountain
side, and others waded in the brook,
while still others who hesitated to ex
pose their legs to the fatigue of one or
the chill of the other, contentedly ate
the berries that grew in such profusion
&n every side.
BAPTISM OF THE NEW BELL AND
CONFIRMATION
The Church of Our Lady of the
Mines has recently obtained a bell
which awaited its blessing and naming
till Sunday last. Rev. Father Lydon,
acting pastor of the parish, porformed
the ceremony before a large concourse
of people, little Robert A. Kinzie by j
request being the sponsor. A platform '
had been put together and had been j
decorated with American flags and
artificial flowers. Above it wa9 a print i
of Di Vincis, Last Supper, from which i
hung curtains in graceful folds.
The Prefect Apostolic having arrived <
on the Portland, it was arranged to <
have the long looked for Confirmation j
service that very evening, and so }
twenty happy girls and twelve happy (
boys decked themselves out iu their <
best to do honor to the occasion and ]
receive that sacrament. They wheeled <
in procession from the hospital and ]
took their place in the ^front pews. j
Very Rev. Father Crimont gave them a '
short address on the effect of grace ?
soon to be wrought in them, insisting
that it was a continuation of the Des- i
cent of the Holy Ghost on the first Pen
tecost, thongh iu a less visible mauuer.!
He then proceeded to the anointing of
them singly. The favored recipients
were: Emmet Antony Carroll, Francis
Joseph Coffin, Fraucis Peter Coggins, ?

Kinzie stood for the children.
After Benediction, daring which the <
choir under the direction of Mrs. Egan 1;
dispensed some elegant music, the ;
whole congregation raoved*toward the ;
Sisters' Chapel. It was dedicated, the '
patronesses being St. Anne,St. Raphael '
being added however as special patron \
of the altar. The Litany of the Saiuts ? \
was recited as a large crowd surged
in and sought out room for themselves 1
in the narrow preciuets, which indeed *
combined art and taste and finish aud '
devotion all in one. \
The oil paintingr a veritable master- ,
piece and the production of the gifted
pencil of one of the nuns at Lachine, \
Canada, was unveiled today just bo- *
fore the 0 o'clock High Mass. Quite a '
few attended. A panegyric wa9 deliv- j*

The undenominational mid-week 5
Bible class organized and conducted J
by Rev. Hoi ford, Pastor of the Congre- >
gational chnrch, held their first meet- ,
ing in the school room of tbe church on '
Tuesday eveniDg, spending one hour in 1
tbe study of John XV., on the subject -
of Fruit-Bearing in Christian life. <
There was a pleasing number present, ;
and all took part in tbe readiDg aud ,
discussion of tbe evening's theme. At I'
I '
tbe close of tbe meeting it was unani- ;'
mously resolved to take up the com-'?
plete study of tbe Gospel by Matthew, !
commencing next Tuesday evening
July 31, at 8 o'clock. To this meeting
all are invited,

HE WAS FIRM
Tbe comptroller of the currency is
an autocrat whose decision overrides
! even that of the chief magistrate of the
nation. Some years ago tbe then in- j
cnmbent of tbe office refused to sign a
j warrant for money which General
Grant thought it proper to expend.
-That iar right," the president said.
*1 admire your firmness. Where yoar
; conscience is concerned never permit
yourself to be coerced. Yoa may con
sider yourself clear in this affair, for I
shall appoint a new comptroller tomor
row.?Ex.
