narshal Grant.

Deputy Marshal W. D. Grant, of Fort Wrangel, called on the News yes terday. He was on his way home from Sitka. Mir. Grant is one of the best officers in Alaska and Marshal Shoup has not been disappointed in him.
 ''I am pleased with the position your paper has taken concerning the call for a convention" said Officer Grant to the News man. "I have heard twenty-five men speak concerning the matter, in Fort Wrang9l, and all approve the stand you have taken. A new call should be issued"
 Marshal Grant understands politics as we'll as any man in Alaska and we value his judgment upon the matter.

 Skagway is a splendid newspaper town. If you don't believe it, take look at it's two fine large dailies.
 A whale was sporting around near She wharf at Juneau last Friday. He was looking for Jack Russell, of the Sunday Sun.
 If Uncle Sam possessed as much of the modern spirit as he has credit for having, he would connect the Alaska cities with Seattle with telegraph line.
 Mclean, the Ohio newspaper man, has been nominated for governor by the Democratic convention in that state. He will make the Republicans lots of trouble.
 The steamship Excelsior pulled out for the West last Saturday. s. V. Christian is her purser and he is a mighty nice fellow. He halls from Se- attle where the people are all good.
 Madam Bluett and Editor Russell made the News office a pleasant call last Thursday and discussed music and religion with the editors of the News. They left To oking happy and contented.
 Mrs. c. Roene, wife of the hardware merchant, received a letter the other day from her sister, who lives in Salinas county, Cal, which brought the glad news that the fame of the Douglas Is land News has penetrated even to that country.
 MT. Alfred Fox, of Seattle, who has been employed in the News office for the past four months, left on the Cot tage City yesterday for his former home. Mir. Fox is one of the best, if not the very best. job and newspaper printer that ever held down job in Alaska, and we sincerely regret his de- parture. The best wishes of the News go with him wherever he may go.

A Change Needed.

No, gentle reader, the News has not "got it in" for Mir. McElheny. The News is above using it's columns to right private wrongs. In our last issue we stated that Mr. McElheny's official acts need an explanation, and we think SO yet. And further, we think that MT. MeEIheny has outIived his usefulness as deputy marshal on Douglas Island and Marshal Shoup should select some other man. When the proper time ar rives, we believe we will be able to show she people that in this matter the News IS right. It is our constant endeavor to always be on the right side of every question.

THe 1gxcAN BOARDING HOUSE.
The Best Appointed and Most Complete and Convenient in all Alaska. Steam Heat and Electric Light. n. II. Lynch, the
 New Steward


 The new Mexican boarding house, concerning which so much has been said both in and outside of the paper, opened for business yesterday. A News man happened up that way late yestor- day afternoon and through the kind. ness of Steward M. II. Lynch was shown through the various departments. The building is a large structure, two stories high, and, for the purpose for which it will be used, we cannot imagine how it could be any more complete.
 The kitchen is a very large room in which there are two ranges each IA feet long, and the ovens have a capacity of eighty loves of bread at time. The dish washing sinks and tables are also in this room and one end of the same is for the use of the bakers, which shows up all the modern conveniences of a f1rst-class bakery.
 There are three dining rooms; one for the mechanics and mill men, one for the foremen, and the third one for the miners, the latter seating from l25 to 13O at a time.
 In one end of the building there is a sitting and reading room, and in the other end the drying room which are both large and we'll lighted.
 The second story is used for sleeping rooms, two men occupy each room. Every room has from one to two win dows, and is easily accessible to a fire escape. Hose attached to hydrants are freely distributed all over the build iug.
 This splendid building is heated by steam and lighted throughout by cleo tricity. Hot and cold water is supplied in abundance, and the writer was una ble to see how the building could be made more comfortable and conven- tent for the 23O men occupying the same. From sanitary view, all the modern conveniences have been sup piled.
 Supt. Robeson designed the Mexican boarding house and Mir. Wm. Murdock was the builder and they have done their work well. MT. Lynch, the stew ard, is an experienced man and has held like position with the company for eight years. He is a pleasant and agreeable gentleman whom all the men will like. He has adopted register system so that he can locate any man boarding there in case any of their friends wish to see them.
 We regret that our space will not per. init a more thorough write-up; the Mex ican boarding house is entirely deserv- ing of it.

A Letter.
ing of it.

The following verses, accompanied by eight gold nuggets, came to the Junior Endeavor society of this city, in an invitation to their Birth day Party" from Mrs. Churchill in the Atlin country:
 Dear girls and boys of the Junior En-
 deavor,
 We're sending to-day, to Douglas letter, So enclose for you in this little sack Eight tiny nuggets, not one want we
 back
 Enola, you know, is now eight years old, And of your Endeavor she has oft been
 told.
 Each nugget a niclIle is worth, or more, They'll add a little to your birthday store. To Uncle Sam's mint they're not yet gone, Yet cash they'll bring you before very
 long.
 If one you should like for a ring or pin, Then twenty-five cents for each you may
 bring.
 Two dollars thered be to help towards
 your ro6m, Twill surely be done for you now quite
 soon,
 Sittin6 there at last twill be so fine. Gold to be wearing from the far away
 Pine.
 Right sorry were we your social to miss. We'd much rather bring than send you
 this,
 But when back to New Town again we
 come,
 We'll take our ice cream, our cake and
 fun.
 Now may God bless the Junior Bndeavor, Binding each with tie which naught
 shall sever,
 For, standing firm as did the Saints of old, You're far more precious than Pine
 Creek gold.

LABOR DAY IN JUNEAU.
A Splendid Celebration in the City across the
 Channel 4 Free Dance.

A Splendid Celebration in the City across the
 Channel. A Free Dance.
 The Labor Day celebration at Juneau last Monday was adecided success. Ju- neau never fails on anything except "caIls." The day could not have been more perfect and there was nothing to mar the pleasure of the day. The bus mess houses were closed. The prOces- was credit to any town and those who marched numbered more than the pa rade on the Fourth.
 At the opera house John B. Denny presided. The Rev. MT. Gurr did the praying and Paddy Harrington spread himself with a song. W. E. Crews de- livered an oration that was a splendid effort. Judge Delaney also delivered an address that was much praised. A MT. Irving also spoke and made good speech.
 The Juneau band got in it's work in good shape.
 The free dance at night was well at tended.

Mrs. Laura Archer Lejeune.

On the morning Of the second Of January
Mrs. Laura Archer Lejeune, daughter Of
Joseph A. and Laura S. Turpin, formerly of
this county, passed from earth.
Most OF her early life was spent in Mary
land where she was educated. She gradual ed
from Mr.. Archer's school at Patapsco In the
year 1856 Especially proficient in music,
she never lost the power Of charming all
who heard her play.
The sanity daughter of sanity mother,
her whole life was spent in ministering to
others. The strongest point in her character
was her love and sympathy for those In dis
tress. Wherever she went she left behind
her the blessed memory of kind deeds,
aud loving words She was greatly apprecia-
tive of any kindness rendered her, not realiz-
ing how great were her services to others.
In her own parish Point Coupee,) of
| Louisiana, she was perhaps the best known
| and most beloved Of any woman there, by old
and young, black and white.
Much OF her life was spent in teaching
there, and she retained the tender love Of all
pupils. She was prominent In the church Of
the parish-St. Stephens at Wiliamsport-
and her loss there, to minister and congrega-
ton, is irreparab!e.
la the home circle her life was equally
beautiful; as wife, mother, daughter and
sist r, her love and tenderness were unbound
ed.
Death is over for her, without pang, an(
she has entered eternal life. ''Blessed ar,
the dead who die in the Lord. Yea, saith thu
Spirit, for they rest from their labors, ant
their works do follow them"
She was buried In the quiet churchyard a
Williamsport, Louisiana, where rests sill tina
Is mortal of husband, mother and father

The Agricultural society.

The postponed meeting of the stock holders
of Hartford county, which was to have been
held In Bel Air OH Tuesday, failei to materia-
lie. Directors were to have been elected,
and a reorganization effected. The meeting
had been called, according to the constitution
of the association for the first Monday in
January, but The members failed to respond
in sufficient numbers to transact business and
1t was decided to adjourn until January II.
Tine organization is decidedly i'll better shape
than it has been for a number OF years. The
present board OF directors has been in Office
for three years. When they assumed control
of affairs, the society was in debt. They
found note in bank for $3.50 and they have
paid that ami paid the pre- IN tums for the past
two years in full, aud fifty per cent of the
premium Indebtedness OF their first year, and
this in spite OF the fact that in 1898 the
weather was SO Indictment that there was in
reality but one clear day during the exhibition.
1t has been said by one Of the staunch sup
porters of the association THAT it is the we'll
grounded belief that the attendance and re-
ceipts OF the last exhibition demonstrate the
strong hold the association has upon the
affections of the people, and that it only
wants the attention of few energetic spirits
not only to keep 1t alive, but restore it to its
pristine vigor and success, that it is the ex
hibitors property, and that they would be
willing 10 devote their premiums to the
redemption of their favorte property"
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the example
of the Cecil county society will not be follow
ed but that enough public spirited citizens may
he found to rekindle the dying embers and
permit continuance of the exhibitions which
have been so attractive for quarter of a
century past.
