The learned editor of the J uneaa |
Daily Record-Miner can lay no claims [
to superior wisdom, after the break he ;
made last week in announcing that the
total eclipse of the moon which took
place on Thursday night would be
repeated on Friday night.
Two Juneau papers bare decided that I
they prefer to run the ad of a Chicago
mail order concern rather than that of
a reputable and strictly reliable mer
chant of their own town. Well, its.
every feller to his notion, as the old !
woman said when she kissed the cow.
The City Council held a short ses
sion last Monday night. The claim of j
Marshal McDonald for $101.20 was paid \
and a warrant was also drawn in favor j
of Treasurer N. King of the school
board for $1,000. Ordiuance number
29 was read a second and third time j
and passed. The council then ad- j
journed.
i The Douglas Chamber of Commerce
held another interesting meeting last i
night at the Palm Garden. The atten- >
dance was large?an Indication that
the interest of the members keeps op.
The committee appointed to bring the
matter of illegal discrimination by:
steamship companies [in freight rates}!
to the attention of the U. S. authorities I
reported that after careful considera- 1
tion the Judge had decided that if the
companies have committed a crime,
that crime was probably committed at;
Seattle and outside the jurisdiction of
this court. The members discussed
steamboats, cables, mail service and
cemeteries, and finally adjourned to I
meet again on Tuesday evening, Feb
ruary 27 tb.
DEATH OF REV. JOHX E. HUHN j
The present incumbent of St. Lake's
Church received word from Bishop
Rowe announcing the death of the Rev,
Mr. Huhn on the morning of last
Thursday. It is inferred that he died
at St. Matthew's Hospital, Fairbanks.
Mr. Hohn was priest-m-cbarge of St.
Luke's Church for over a year. The
announcement <yf his death brought
sorrow to the hearts of many who knew
him and loved him.
After leaving Douglas Mr. Jfabn bad
charge of the mission at Rampart.
When the "rush" began into Fairbanks
he was sent there by the Bishop to- as
sume charge of ther m iss ion until the i
arrival of Archdeacon Stuck. The lat-!
ter, after a few months, arrived, and?
Mr. Htihn returned to his charge at
Rampart.
His work consisted in ministering to
the whites and natives of Rampart
and to the miners encamped on the
outlying creeks. (Oftentimes he made
journeys over the snow of sixty and
eighty miles with his dogs and sled to
the more remote camps to bring the
message of the glorious gospel of
Christ to the isolated and lonely miner.1
This was a self-denying and arduous j
work which he accomplished with a>
cheerful and whirring grace. Ife of
whom we are thinking must have fived
and did live and move and have his
being in the presence of God,conscious j
indeed of hie own short-comings and
failures but with his eye immovably
fixed on: Sftm Who was the fountain
and source of Ms fife and work. May
the soui of the* faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace
and may fight perpstcwf shhie upon?
hkn'.

A largo number of the larlies of
Douglas Island and Juneau were
pleasantly entertained by Mrs. Elmer
E. "Smith at her home on E street, last
Saturday afternoon. ?
Each lady was given a card beariug
the following story, with blanks
left to be lilled with the name
of a flower:

Miss Mildred Powell won the prize, a

fancy silver button-book, was awarded
to Mrs. A. Hopp.
A tempting luncheou was aerred by
the hostess. *
THE EAGLES CELEBRATE i
.
Last Sunday afternoon the members j
of Douglas Aerie, No. 117, F. 0. E. and
a number of their friends gathered at |
the Douglas Palm Garden to celebrate j
the Eighth anniversary of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles.
Worthy President J. G. Zimmerman
presided, and Worthy Past Presid ents
,L F. McDonald and Claude Erickson
made addresses. A monologue artist i
held the crowd for a time, as did a
professional joke artist. Several reels |
of moving pictures were much enjoyed.
Three long tables were loaded with
good things to eat and drink, of which
the assemblage partook at tbeir pleas
ure.
While the social featnre of the Order
of Eagles is made prominent by meet
ings such as this, the order has another
mission which it carries out to the ful
lest degree. We refer to the care of
the sick?a duty which is never
neglected by this lodge.

TIIE GRAND AMEN

| between Salmon-Scented John G.
! Hrady and Chamberlain's cough syrup
as to which is receiving most attention
; in the Alaska newspapers. Although
! the former has beeu amening through
; the district for the past thirty years,
the most heartfelt amen that ever
echoed o'er Alaska's snow-clad hills or
reverberated up and down her rock

comes from Washington that he has
been ruled out of the game and ordered
to the bench.?Whitehorse Star.
