The work of repairing the damage
done by the fire at Erskine & Allison's
law office, and to the floor above, was
commenced yesterday morning. An
inspection of the property of the law
firm. yesterday, showed that only half
dozen or so of books in their large law
library were slightly damaged by wa

came out of the fire in very good shape.
Mrs. Harris select school, on the upper

In the lack of facilities for destroying

The beautiful pastoral play, "Shore

such marked success in Boston and
New York during the past two years,
is underlined for production at the
Opera House Wednesday, March 18th.
Few plays written within the past
twenty years have caused such wide

has mostly been about the degrees Of its
greatness as a natural play. But very
few critics have declined to admit

CHARLET PARMONSCOT.
MICHAEL PARMONSCOT.

The case came to trial in the District
Court of this county and has been drag
ging along over two years. One hun
dred of the Oldest Indians of Wisconsin
were brOugh there and a great deal of
testimony taken. Among the queer
things brought out were the facts that
at the time of the alleged marriage
there was no Little Chute, that Father
VanderbrOok was then in charge Of an
Ohio parish. and that the paper on
which the marriage certificate was writ
ten was of wooden pulp, which was not
in use anywhere until quite a few
years later. 1t was also shown that at
the time of the alleged marriage there
was no Wisconsin-the territory then
being a part Of Michigan
The decision is rendered by Judge
Egan, and recites that there never was
any legal marriage between Norman w.
Kittson and Margaret Robinson, and
if they ever lived together at all, no
evidence of which is given, they merely
sustained such relations as were COM
mon in those days between whites and
Indians. and were binding on neither.
The heirs to KittsOns estate are
Louis Kittson, of Erdenheim .Philadel-
phia; the Heath children, of Baltimore;
Henry Kittson. of Montreal Mrs Chas.
Weaver. of Chicago; James Kittson, of
Louisville; Hercules, Norman and Al
fred Kittson. of st. Paul; Mrs. Lewis

TRAINED ANIMALS.

Norris Bros big educated animal
show will open a two days engagement
at the Grand Opera House Friday,
March 9th. The company consists of
fifty handsome and highly educated
Shetland ponies and dogs, which are
said to surpass in number and intelii-
gence any similar company in America.
The following regarding the perform
ance is from the Providence tR. u
Journal: THE exhibition of trained
animals given at Music Hall by the Nor
ris Bros far surpassed anything Of he
kind that has ever visited Providence
and merits the financial success with
which it is meeting. The company
numbers about fifty and is IS happy a
family as one could wish TO see. This
is probably due to the sact that they
are treated with the greatest possible
kindness. which Prof. Norris says is the
only means that can he employed TO
bring the mind oe the brute to any great
degree of intelligence"

THE chief Of the weather bureau in
Washington City is quoted as saying
that no other state in the Union has SO
manv weather stations or receives 80
large a share of the appropriations for
the maintenance Of the national meter
illogical service as Washington. This
prompts the Tacoma Chamber of Com
merce, which wants weather bureau
established there, to say that "no other
state in the Union has such an amount
of shore line as the State of Washing
ton, which must, of necessity, call for
larger expenditures in this direction
This reminds THE ISLANDER that
some arrangement should be made for
keeping a reliable record of the tenn
perature and rain fall here. The neces-
sary acknowledgements, bar
rometers and rain guages and blanks
for making reports, could doubtless be
obtained by applying to the observer
at Seattle, if assurances were given
that ali efficient volunteer service
would be maintained here. Such a
record would be both interesting an
valuable, especially as proof conclu-
sive that the annual rainfall on the
San Juan Islands is considerably less
than the PRECIPITATION of the up-Sound
counties.

with eternal SHOWS, of verdant valleys,
of immense grassy plains, of mighty
rivers and of gigantic forests. Her
territory reaches from the western
ranges of the Rockies to the shores OF
the Pacific ocean, and embraces the
most beautiful inland sea in the world.
She has coal, iron, gold, silver and TIM

unsurpassed fertility. She produces in
notable perfection all the fruits OF the
temperate zone. Her waters swarm
with the best food fishes. Her natural
bunch-grass pastures support great
herds of cattle and flocks of sheep. She
has now less than half a million people,
and million more can easily find good

Now that Congress has enacted a
law making prize fighting unlawful in
the District of Columbia and all the
territories, and the states have string
ent laws against the revival of this
relic of barbarism it would be well if
the great papers of the country, which
profess to be the educators of the peo-
pie and leaders of public sentiment,
would cease to devote so much of their
space, or any of it, to pugilists and
their ilk. In doing so they pander to
a morbid and unhealthy taste which
ought to be checked instead of encour-
aged, as it is by the press generally.
