Neglect of Alaska.

That this government has grossly neg
lected Alaska is we'll known, but this
neglect has not been set forth more
forcibly nor in better language that that
used by Rev. Frank Barnum, a Jesuit
missionary in the country tributary to
the Yukon, in private letter to friend
in Baltimore, of which the following is
an extract:
"The Canadian mining laws are very
strict and are carried out vigorously.
The Canadian government knows the
value of Alaska and is we'll represented
on the border. There are government
surveyors, gold commissioners, captain
and corps of mounted police and reve-
nue. officers, etc, there. We have no
government representative, except a
deputy collector down at st. Michael
at is pitiful the way our government
has neglected Alaska. One can hardly
wonder at Great Britain claiming so
much of it since we do nothing at all to
protect it. We should have the entire
Yukon valley. There was good chance
before this gold discovery of having the
west bank of the Mackenzie for national
boundary. The Yukon delta should be
properly surveyed. | am sure there is
a deep ship chanDel, for [ have been
across there now so often, going and
coming from our mission that | know
the whole region fairly WELL

UndiSputed Merit.

The great success Of the Royal Baking
ercised by its manufacturers to make it
entirely pure, uniform in quality, and
Of the highest leavening power. All
the scientific knowledge, care and skill
attained by twenty years practical ex-
perience are contributed towards this
end, and no pharmaceutical preparation
can be dispensed with a greater accur-
acy, precision and eXactness. Every
article used is is-absolutely pure. A num-
Der of chemists are employed to test
the strength of each ingredient, so that
its exact power and effect in combina-
ton with its co-ingredients are def
nitely known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is employed in
the preparation of the materials used
or the manufacture of the powder, who
is not an expert in his particular branch
of the business. AS a consequence, the
Royal Baking Powder is of the highest
grade of excellence, always pure, whole
some and uniform in quality. The con-
tents of each box are exactly like every
other, and will retain their powers and
produce the same and the highest leav-
ening effect III any climate, at any time.
The Government Chemists, after having
analyzed all the principal brands in the
market, in their reports placed the
Royal Baking Powder at the head of
the list for strength, purity and whole
someness, and thousands of tests all
over the country have further demon
strated the fact that its qualities are, in
oVerV respect, unrlValied.

Miller, the Lacrosse full back, was q
wonder. Besides weighing $50 pounds
he is sprinter and bis line buckine
was the great hope Of the Lacrosse
rooters. In the second half the boys
learned how to stop him and Lacrosse
chance for score was gone. The game
began at 3:15 p. IN. and did not end
until 5:15. Halves were 80 minutes,
but much time was lost in allowing La
Crosse men to recover breath after hard
scrimmages. From the kickoff to the
finish every inch of ground was contes-
ted. Three yards was considered a
lucky gain and few long runs were
made. The game was in progress only
few minutes when Lacrosse people
recognized that the boys from the
pineries knew a few things about foot
ball. From the start Howe High school
team was confident. With all odds
against them they did Lot lose courage
but played a hard, heady game, seldom
called for time and never vavered
demonstrating nicely that they can play
an uphill contest Tue first half ended
without score on either side. The
pigskin had see-sawed back and forth
in the middle of the field for an hour
neither side holding the ball long at a
time. The only long gain was run OF
25 yards by Halvorsen.
Tho cooonH bo1f roc n 81
the first until will five minutes of the
close, when Grand Rapids came into
possession of the ball on Lacrosse 81
yard line. From here, Green, who had
been substituted for Corcoran a short
time before, made run around the end
for 20 yards, bringing the ball within IL
yards of the coveted goal. Then Capt
Bulls went through tackle and end for
a touchdown. Love kicked goal and
the game was won. Score to .. Team
work and science brought this victory.
Saturday next, Nov. 20, Howe High
School will play with Stevens Point
Normal (frst eleven) on Grand Rapids
grounds. Unable to get ether High
schools to meet them, our boys have
been obliged to go way up in high
society and out of their class to find
engagements. 1t is not reasonable to
expect the highs to defeat the Normals,
but perhaps the big team will find line
of battle worthy of Its attention.
Mauston is scheduled to play in this
city on Thanksgiving day.

CHIEF CAUSE

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was CT eated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases
1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease
or inconvenience manifested III the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble OF
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be easily avoided To find out
correctly, set your urine aside for TWEEN
ty-four hours; sediment Of settlingin-
dicates kidney or bladder trouble. The

LACROSSE IS WALLOPED.
Not High School Has Scored or
Grand Rapids High This Season.

''It amt on the map. Where is this
little Grand Rapids? Can't find it on
the map. Won't do a thing to those
farmers, will we?"
When Grand Rapids High school foot
ball team reached Lacrosse at 1880
O'Clock Saturday morning last, the above
quoted lrsOlent taunts were the only
kind of entertainment committee on
hand to meet them. In fact it was such
greeting and none other that stayed by
them all day and until, unattended and
undirected, they finally found their way
out to the Lacrosse gridiron and we're
lined up for business against the high
school team of that city.
But, when the hardest fought game
our boys have played this year was
ended, Lacrosse found themselves
thrashed to standstill, skunked, beaten
on their own grounds, and driven SO far
into their hole that they were ashamed
to crawl out and admit that the farm
ers" were one too many in the fray !;
that the zero on the map was equal, yes
superior to themselves. Lacrosse is
still hunting for score, but they have
found out where Grand Rapids is in
bitter lesson.
Lacrosse has high school numbering
$50 students and hence has choice lot
of men to pick from. In raw material
and weight they were more than a
match for our farmers" but in team
work and pluck they fell short at the
plow. With odds against them all
around Grand Rapids boys demonstra
ted their ability to play an uphill game
as we'll as an easy one. The weights
and lineup of the two elevens were as
follows:

Hay, our preceptress, does her best tc
make Us feel at home and to give US the
pleasures of home. So thus far we
have had a pleasant time and our trip
has been an enjoyable one; neverthe.

The first way is from imperfect action

Boston Yacht Runs Aground.

The handsome Boston schooner yacht
Gundred, which has been cruising around
here tor week past with her owner
Benjamin Vaughan, and a party of Bos-
ton ladies and gentlemen, started for Bar
Harbor yesterday morning about ten
O'Clock. The strong northeast wind that
was blowing carried the yacht too near
shore and she touched on the northern
part of Hog Island ledge. Efforts of those
on board were unavailing in getting her
off and distress colors were sent up in her
rigging.
Captain Nat Haskell spied them and
pointed the Dickey's nose toward Hog
island. Upon reaching the schooner
line was given them and the tug at
tempted to pull her off. The wind made
it bad, however, and the first thing the
Dickey knew, she touched bottom herself.
Then she backed off and tried it again
and once more the wind swung her
around and her keel grated. The next at
tempt was successful and both yacht and
tug foated free and apparently unin-
jured.
The Gundred did not not appear to be
leaking any and so she proceeded on her
cruise.
The ladies on board were good sailors
and did not exhibit any alarm.

A HANDSOME WINDOW.
Completed by Mr.. Cyrus II. Farley for a
Freeport Church.

G. FL. Farley completed at his shop on
Saturday stained glass window that
has some new features for this section.
1t life and full size figure of the Good
ShepherdEand is made up in the most
modern style. In some places the win
dow has four thicknesses Of glass, one
laid over the other to get the right effect
It was made up under the supervision of
Mr. Schroff, an artist who has made this
kind of work his speciality. Such piece
of art and mechanism has to be put up
and looked at a great many times to get
the right effect and consequently is slow
and expensive work, but when done has
much more depth sand richness of color
than the old style of painted glass. This
window is built in the same way as the
La Fargo window at Methuen that cost
twenty thousand dollars.
It is memorial to Franklin Curtis and
is to be placed in the new Baptist church
at Freeport. Many persons looked at it
yesterday and it will be on exhibition a
day or two longer. 4
Yesterday Whitcomb's \ memorandum
book, in which he kept account of his
work and other matters was picked up

The committee on the investigation of
the street commission held another meet
ing yesterday afternoon at which time the
city solicitor appeared before the commit
tee. At previous meeting this official
had been asked to give his opinion as to
the powers of the street commission, but
through some misunderstanding in regard
to what the committee required the So
licitor was not prepared to make his re-
port at Yesterdays meeting. AS the COM
mittee does not care to begin the actual
work of investigation before this opinion
of the city solicitor is made the meeting
was adjourned until next Saturday after
noon when it is expected that the city
solicitor will make his report.

PATRoLMAN MORSE DEAD.
He Died of Heart Disease at the Station
Yesterday Morning.

PatroIman william S. Morse, one of our
best veteran policemen, died just after
roll call in the police station yesterday
morning at o'clock. Mr.. Morse was a
few seconds late at roll call, but entering
the door from the corridor, took his place
in the line of officers. Suddenly he fell
backwards his full length across the
stones in the corridor. His brother officers
gave him instant assistance, but after a.
few fluttering breaths he expired. Doc
tors Hanson and Way were called as
quickly as possible, but Mr. Morse was
not living when they arrived. 1t was a
case of apoplexy, Mr.. Morse being appar-
emily as we'll as ever yesterday morning.
Mr.. Morse was native of Rockland
but came to Portland many years ago.
He was So years of age. When he first
came to Portland he was in the wood
and coal business with his brother. A. n
Morse on Plum street. He was appoint-
ed a member of the police force in March.
1877. He was big-hearted man. full of
good nature, but stern and determined
in the discharge of his duty. He was
honest and upright in every way and
every body reposed the utmost confidence
in him. He will be sincerely mourned
by citizens and members OF the force.
Mr.. Morse left four sons, William r.
Ernest l.. and Walter r., of this city.
and Howard A. of Boston. He had two
brothers, Argyle d. and Sidney A.
The funeral will take-place at his late
residence today at $50 O'Clock. The body
will be taken to Rockland for burial
beside his wife, who died several years
ago.
4 There are but four policemen now on
the force who were there when Officer
Morse was appointed, Messrs. A. f. Har-
mon, Hanson, Newscomb and Heath.
Officers Pickett, Merrill and SkiIlings
were appointed the same time that
Mr., Morse was.

MOUNTED MUSICIANS.
A Famous Band On Horseback to Visit the
City.

The middle week in August will bring
Portland about as much music as the
uneducated ear-the ear that most of us
wear in couplets-can stand.
Besides the Salem Cadet band, our own
Incompatible Chambers, and other
breathers through brass familiar to noise
loving New England, Portland will be
provided with an orchestra on horseback
Reeves famous mounted musicians of
the Third U. S. Cavalry, one of the noted
regimental bands of the world.
These, with the marine band from the
fleet. will figure in the procession Fair
week; and will also give concerts at Rig
by park each afternoon, land every evening
town either at City hall or the Audi
torium.
1t may be superfuous to say that the
cavalrymen will dismount before enter
ing the hall.
