Star Man Eats Crow
During the heat of the campaign in
the Yukon the editor of the VVhitehorse
Star said things about George Black, a
candidate, rhat. he perhaps could not
prove, and Black, who was defeated,
demanded a public retraction and an
apology, else he would take such pro j
ceeding9 as the law provides in such ,
cases.
White decided to apologize. What
was worth doing was worth doing well '
and here is the way he did it:
"To George Black, Esq., Dawson,
"Dear sir: ? Not being a lawyer and,
therefore, not able to conduct his
own case in court, the editor of the
Star hereby teuders to you his apology
and retraction cf the offensive, 'Libel- ;
ous and Criminal' assertions published
in 'Said Newspaper' ou the 15th of
January. Owing to the fact that the ,
ground is covered with 9now as with a
mantle, biblically speaking, you will
please excuse the formality of the ed
itor ruboiug his nose lu the dust and
will take the statement of a willingness
to do t-o, were conditions favorable, for
| the deed. ,
"The statements you characterize 'ab
solutely false and without foundation'
were wired to the Star from Dawsou in ;
a telegram signed 'News' and you will
accommodate the editor of the Star if J
you will call at that scissors and paste i
i emporium and lick the Star correspon
dent. To iusure getting the right man
you had better take a punch at the
whole buuch. (If this can be con
strued as an attempt to incite a riot, he j
apologizes for it, too.;
"Anyhow, the editor of the Star
apologizes, retracts and hereby re
quests his readers to expunge, wipe out
from their blackboards or their think
tanks, the 'Libelous and Criminal'
statements contaiued in the issue of
| 'said newspaper' of the 15th of January.
Angels could do no more.
"Repentantly but lovingly yours,
"E J. W UITE,
"Editor Weekly Star.

"Meyers awoke this morning after a

Times. Can you beat it? ? Washington

Sure we can. How about this from
the San Antonio Gazette, relative to a
professional horse traiuer: "And in a
short time had the animal so trained :
that it did not scare at tin pans, flags
or any other kind of noises." ? Johns-,

And this from a popular magazine: i
"The injuied mau at last passed into
peaceful sleep, and when he woke up
he was dead."

Connecticut Blue Laws
From an exchange we take the fol
lowing "Bine Laws," which, after a
fashion, served to make Connecticut
famous:
"No one shall be freeman and have a
vote unless be is couverted and a mem
ber of oue of the churches allowed in
the Dominion.
"Each freeman shall swear by the
blessed God to bear true allegiance to
this Dominion and that Jesus is the
only king.
"No dissenter from the essential
worship of this Dominion shall be al
lowed to give a vote for electing of
magistrates or any officer.
"No food or lodging shall be offered
to a heretic.
"No one shall cross a river on the
Sabbath but authorized clergymen.
"No oue shall travel, cook victuals,
