THINGS SAID ABOUT WOMEN

A common sight these evenings is as many as five pretty girls sitting around 8 young man on a porch, handing him lemonade and flaming him.
 More girls should have sweetheart in the man in the moon He is just the safe distance away for a girl to have a lover, unless they intend to marry.
 A woman has a terribly strong in stinct in an affair Of the heart. If she could use the same genius in fer reting out murderers. she would soon be bondholder.
 Nothing humiliates a woman more than to have man see her naked feet. Usually they are cgt of shape, from wearing shoes too small for her. This is the reason the women scream so when a man appears. A woman writes this office to ask what her 15-year-cld boy is to do in the evenings. She says that if he buns around with the other boys, he gets tough, and if he calls on a young girl, he gets tender, and the result is more fatal. What is the matter with the boy going to bed?

 The duke of York is sitting regular | ly to Sargent that he may figure in the great picture of the house of lords

HoOLEY'S PEERS.

The appearance of some of the old est names in the British peerage among the purchased presidents and directors of Promoter Hooley's corpor- ations raises the worst scandal of which the English nobility has lately been the subject It is nothing new fer persons of rank and title in Eng land to speculate on their names, but Hooley's revelations have brutal di- rectness and particularly that give them novel interest.
 The earl of Delawarr, by Hooley's $ account, was paid $250,000 for taking the chairmanship of one of his com panies. Delawarr's title comes down to him from the days of Elizabeth. The Earl of Albemarle was hired as a director by the payment Of half as much. His patent of nobility dates back 200 years. The earl of Winch elsea came in for $5O,0OO; so did Lord Greville, another historical name; the society man who introduced Lord Nor bury got $5O,UUO TOT ms 1nHuence, ana Norbury was paid we'll for letting his name go on the prospectus.
 This is the heaviest blow that has been dealt the system of class privi- lege and hereditary legislation in England. When the honors and dis tinctions of the peerage are marketed for. O Drioa tO adventurous scandal can go no further

If Lieutenant Hobson has been too modest heretofore to appreciate the fact that he is one of the nations he roes, he can not have failed to get an inkling of the truth from that recep- ton accorded him at Atlanta.

Be ENFORCED
Local Sentiment too Much For
Liquor Legislation.
EVEN UNCLE SANS LAW
Is Worse Than a Dead Letter,
in Far-0f Alaska.

Washington, April Corresponding to a
resolution OF inquiry in regard to the en-
forcement OF the liquor law in Alaska,
Secretary Gage sent a statement to the
senate in which he says that notwith-
standing the efforts of the department it
is still a fact that the law is openly vio-
lated. II has, he says, been reported to
the department that forty saloons do
open business in Juneau, town of less
than 1900 inhabitants, while in Sitka,
which contains less than 100 white in
habitants, there are twelve open saloons.
The universal public sentiment in the
territory" says the secretary, SIS bitter
ly opposed TO the enforcement of the Ii
quor law and the efforts of the officers are
met With intimidation, threats at violence
and attempts at bribery"
He says that an agent of the depart
ment who reported this condition was in
dicted. The secretary adds:
''The statement has been made repeat
edly by judicial officers of the territory
that no grand pury in Alaska would in
dict any person elected for violating the
liquor law
The secretary closes with the statement
that it is impossible to enforce the pres
ent law, against the existing public senti-
ment

Alva, o. T., April 13.-(Special.)-Rai
commenced falling yesterday a. m. at Z
o'clock. 1t commenced quietly and kept
getting harder each hour. Wheat in
fields where one bushel per acre was
sown was beginning TO need il. as it was
too thick. We get the best results here
with from one-half to three-quarters BUSH
81 sown per acre.
The normal college basement is nearly
ready for the masons, and by July it =
hoped to see the first story above ground.
With 4 faculty, after competition, co y
mensurate with the size of the building, it
should be a success.
Tie saw and hammer are very much in
evidence. New residences are going up
all over the town and IN the college addi-
ton. Many new people are coming in,
and IT is absolutely impossible to find
rooms for them.
Settlers are coming in at the rate Of 200
families per month and films on home
steads. Indications are that by January
there will be in this county nearly if not
in excess of $1,000 population.
