more severe in Washington than in Southeastern Alaska. It gets colV in Skagway and Dyea, but they don't.have any such storms as they do"on"the Atlantic coast. Here in Dougias-a point about midway of the district in dicated-the thermometer has regis tered zero point only twice in the last season and the average during the winter was from 23 to 34 degrees above that point.
 The real truth of the matter is that the climate had nothing to do with it. The boys of the lIth were healthy in Alaska, but they wanted 8 chance to do some fighting and there is no chance for that in Alaska. When the orders came to move they were glad, not to leave Alaska, but to take their place with their comrades of the fighting fourteenth at the front.

From start to finish the entertain ment was a success and the people of Douglas Island are proud of the ability and the industry of all who helped to make it so. Many whose names we haven't mentioned were constant and unremitting in their efforts and but for their heIp-oue and alI-everything might have failed.
 The solos by Messrs. Williams and Rutledco, the recitations by Misses McKanua and Spiers, and the song by Allie King and Michael Flahcrty, added to the enjoyment. and showed careful work in preparation.
 Tho general impression prevails tAat our own home minstrels were equal to anything ever brought to the city, and We wait anxiousIy for the announce meut of the next performance.

The Bible and Science.

The sermon by Mir. Raymond Robins at the Congregational Church, last Sun day evening was filled with gems of wisdom, and showed depth of thought and understanding reached by few. Mir. Robins undertook to show that the bible and scientific research are in perfect harmorny. He said that the same laws that stand between the mineral kingdom and the animal king dom are applied to the animal and spiritual kingdoms. For years scien- lists believed that matter of itself could produce life, but that theory was so thoroughly exploded that Huxley admitted it's utter fallacy.
 With the theory of spontaneous gen eration disproved, the mineral king dom presents no life, but must receive life from above, from the outside. So the animal may not reach into the spiritual, but all spiritual life comes from above.
 It was never said that if you have Mohammed or Confucius, you have eternal life, Christ is the token, the life principal.
 MT. Robins definition of church. and minister will be readily accepted by all. He spoke for about forty minutes and the earnest attention of his hearers never failed him for a minute.
 The course of sermons to be delivered by MT. Robins promises to be very interesting and beneficial.

MinstrelS. An Evening of Rare Entertain ment Prepared by the St.
 Luke's GuId.
AN IMMENSE SUCCESS,

We have had shows and even mins- trel shows on Douglas Island, but a Ladies' Minstrel show was new idea and many people wondered how the ladies would conduct a minstrel and do it successfully. To satisfy this curiosity and at the same time fully confident of the ability of the local talent, the citizens of the Island and friends from Juneau, packed Ohman's Hall, last Friday evening, to it's utmost seating capacity.
 An orchestra consisting of the fol- lowing well known musicians enter tained the audience with some choice musical selections until the time arrived for the curtain to rise: Piano, J. W. North, of Juneau; violin, MT. Arthur Putnam; flute, Mir. Robt. D. Taylor; clarionet, MT. H. R. Elliott; cornet, MT. Earle Hunter; trombone, MT. Herbert Fulmer.
 All thoughts of failure were dispelled as the curtain rose and revealed a semi circle of handsome young colored ladies, dressed in black skirts, Eton jackets and white dress shirts, collars and cuffs, respIendent with the glitter of real diamonds, and the glory of chrysanthemums.
 The following program was rendered before the curtain went down on part one, and the applause that followed each number showed the appreciation of the audience:
 Opening Chorus . Evening Moonlight "Baptising Down in Dixon's Pool"
 .................... bIach IdCII "Mamma's Little Punkin Colored

A Inh nt Alaska Climate.

A dispatch from Washington, D. C., to the Tacoma Ledger says, in regard to the removal of the 14th infantry from Dyea, Skagway and Wrangel "it being deemed unwise to attempt to retain men in that climate for more than one year at time." This was probably written by some chump who knew about as much of the climate of Alaska as he did of the North pole. It is a matter of record that the past winter has been hundred fold

A Stiff Story.

\ man from Iowa who went prospect ing in the Klondike, in the course of chilling events was frozen to death. His friends had him brought home for burial. When the body arrived it was found to be so drawn out of shape as to forbid it's being placed in a cofn.
 To bring the limbs down to natural pose, the frozen man was placed in bakers oven and a strong heat was turned on. In the course of half an hour one of his friends opened the oven door, when To and behold! the corpse arose slightly from it reclining position and shivering perceptiby, re- marked petulantly "Shut that door !!

 Notes,
 Mrs. Elmer E. Smith performed the part of interlocutor with the grace of a professional.
 Everybody was proud of "Black Patti" and she has more admirers than before, If possible"
 Miss Fannie Penglase was all right, as she sang "Mamma's Little Punkin Colored Coons" in charming manner.
 Mrs. Slater surprised the audience and sang as well as she played.
 Johanna Beanwafer made "Kentucky Babe" a success.
 Miss Adele Sandman deserves special praise of her singing and we heard many complimentary remarks.
 Miss Lulu Eckert, of Juneau, charmed everyone by her recitation and is charming little miss. Miss Lulu is a stepdaughter of Steve Yorke, well known on Douglas Island.
 Miss Annie Museth was entitled to an encore.
 The Misses Larsen, always favorites on the Island, sang as sweetly as ever and responded to the vigorous applause with lullaby.
 The kindness of Mrs. F. M. James in loaning her piano for the occasion, made good music possible and will long be remembered.
 Bro. J. T. Spickett, stage manager, was delighted with the success of the minstrels, and he knows a good thing when he sees it.
 Musical Director Prof. J. w. North contributed much to the evenings entertainment by his skillful playing.

To Dawson for $Io.

A reputable company, that operates a fine line of steamers on the Yukon, advertises a rate of S10 from Lake Ben nett to Dawson city. The river steamers are at swords point and the travellers are benefited. The idea of going to Dawson from Lake Bennett for Sl0 had never occurred to the public. Some sort of rate war was imminent from the unusual number of boats, but the present slashing of rates was scarcely looked for. There are some corpora tions in this fight with pretty long purses, and it is doubtful if the little ones are not brought to their senses very soon. The outcome of the situa- tion no doubt, will be compromise all around; for the owner of single boat cannot fight the owner of dozen, and neither of them can stack up bright dollars by quarreling Last year, the few boats operating between Bennett and Dawson, paid for themselves almost in one trip. Their owners were fortu- nate Never again will they see like season.

was dead. All that was possible was
done by the sheriff and guard to prevent

mob of whites and blacks II was useless
TO attempt to do anything save deliver
him up, which was done. a rope was
thrown over the negroes neck by the
mob's leaders. They carried Coleman TO

the leaders bound him tightly TO u young
