A fitting sequel to the chapter of |
happenings in Donglas la?-t week was
the attempted murder and the accom
plished suicide of Friday. It uiay be
that a9 Westerners we shall allow it to i
pass in the Western way, with but scant
notice. The hurry and bu?tle of life
precludes the attention to small mat
ters that might sometimes prore bene
flcial. Aud in the great, howling, busy
West the violent ending of human life
is often considered but a small matter.
But at least one lesson should be
learned, and if it is learned all is well.
Douglas cannot thrive aud grow great
as a home city in the midst of sin and
iilth aud rottenuess. And, if Douglas
is not to be a home city it will be noth
ing. Justice will have its sway, and if
man is weak there i* a higher force i
that will have its sway aud correct the
evils which have been overlooked. Isn't
it about time for the wave?
lu giviug judgment to T. E. Latimer
and C. S. Blake agaiud ihe Juneau
school- dibtrict for wages, after they
were iii>chargeii by the school board
for attempting tu control a Mihool ulec
tiou, Judge Ovei Held l- ?aid to have
oomplimeuted the teachers upon their
action by saying that it was just aud
proper. 01 tne merits of this particular
case we have nothing to say, but it is
distinctly iu accotd with the carpet bag
idea of government for Alaska, that i
school teachers who h?7e no other
interest in the countiy than a tiine
mouths* job teaching school, who have
no real residence in* the territory,
should attempt to dictate to the actual
residents and taxpayers of the couutry.
The meiubeie. of ihe 8rst legislature;
are gathering in Juneau.- They come
from all parte of the territory,. some of;
tbem traveling hundreds of miles over
snow and ice by dog teams ; ethers- ac
oomplish- their entire journey by boat.
They are a detei mined set of men,. and
we veriiy believe tbat they will com
pletely refute the charspe tftp.C iSMfesk-ans-'
are uot capable of self government.
The eyes of the nation- are wafcehing: :
them.
It would be the part of wisdom* for
those who expect to vote at themani'
cipal election on April first to register
at once. II they do uotv they mas be
fooled*.- _______
Fxrenmu Mest
There i9 no such* jblly organisation'
ou Douglas Island as the Douglas Ike*
men. The regular meetings of' the en* J
tire department are held once eac'di
month at the A\ L. T-T. hall1 and'tHein -
terest in the>e meetiu?s is galtiiBjg:oon~!
stantly. A business meeting ie? iioid;,
during which any matter percai*)ifc<r to
3>re fighting is open for discussion anoH
all are welcome to participate:
A.t the meeting Saturday ev&atajpar
vote of thanks was given to- Martin
Olson, who presented the department*
with $40 iu token of his appreciation 3*
their services in combating the 3Ve- a&
the Board of Trade building last Wad j
nesday morning. There was afec at'
expression of thanks to Mr. John Pens*
for the use of his ever-ready Are ex
tinguishers at the Tavern Cale 8re on
Mouday.
Prior to the business meeting, Joe i
Potts favored the audience with a ?Jer-j
man ballad, which he .rendered with'
appropriate gesture* and: gesticula
tions. Prof. Chas. Maun presided at
the piano. At the close of the business
session a picture 9how was enjoyed
downstairs at the Lyric, and then a
lunch was served in the banquet hall.
There are those who considered this the
best part of the evening's fun. After
lunch as they enjoyed their cigars the
flremeu were treated to a concert far- 1
nished by an orchestra made op of
players from the Treadwell Club and ,
the Lyric, and several selections on a |
mandolin.
Knights of Pythias Social
A large crowd of Knights of Pythias
and their families ^gathered at the
Castle Hall last Thursday evening to
celebrate the forty-ninth anniversary of j
the order and Washington's birthday.
The weather was exceptionally fine,
which made it pleasant for all who
wished to rig out in their best clothes
and attend. Dr. A. R. Sargeant, chair
man of the entertainment committee,1
acted as master of ceremonies and au- '
nounced the program of the literary
and musical part of the entertainmeut.
Mrs. E. L. Armstrong at the piano
and .Prof. Kronmier, violin, rendered
several selections, after which Mrs. C.
M. Spores saug sweetly and responded
to a vigorouo encore.
Then came a part of the program that
was especially attractive to young and
old, it being nothing less than interest
ing little speeches by the interesting
little tots. They were Agues Pattersou,
Helen Sargeant, Ethel Sargeant and
Mamie Feusi.
Mrs. C. M. Blain favored the gather
ing with a solo and also responded to
an encore. Mrs. Blain's singiug is
always appreciated.
Miss May McCormick gave a reading
iu her best style, it being a eulogy of
George Washington. Then the orches
tra sti'uck U{> and the floor was filled
with dancets. This amusement con
tinued for an hour or more and then;
supper was announced.
The supper was served in the banquet I
ball which was decorated for the oc- !
casiou with patriotic colors. The table 1
also carried out the idea, with flag de
signs over the cloth, fancy napkins, !
cakes covered with bunches of cherries 1
and eveu George Washington hatchets ;
on the salads. The supper was after
the style of that served in the old New
England days, with Boston brown 1
bread and baked beans, to which was
added delicious pumpkin pies, wonder
ful cakes, ham and salads, cheese,
pickles, doughnuts, lady fiugers, cook
ies, ice cream, co?fee, etc., ete.
Because of the large crowd, some of
the little folks played riug-around-a
ro?y while the big ones ate, but there
was plenty for all and a good many i
basket-fulls left over. Oue little girl,
just a wee bit of a tot, sat a loug time
at the table until all alone. Some one i
asked the little one where she put all
the food, to which she quickly replied,
"In my hatchway."
