SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Under the old plan OF having men

had been going from bad to worse. The

like the later comedy Of Dickens. The
current Of the story is split up into 90
many channels that one somehow loses
the force Of it aud scarcely realizes how
splendidly the whole thing is written.
A man with much narrower range,
without half Mr.. Phillpotts' wide grasp
Of divergent types Of lite. without half
his vividness and richness Of style, by q
more skillful arrangement might have
made his joints better. In 1.-THE Mill on
the Floss George Eliot had much the
same problem to confront. She too
wrote the drama OF an entire com.
munity, she too wished to make q COM
plcte picture Of country life and took a
large canvas and brought a company Of
stolid, earthly people about Der more
feverish characters. But she knew
when to lay all OF them aside and saved
herself for that one supreme dramatic
moment in which che brought about
her tragedy. The crescendo begins with
Maggie's ride down the river with
Stephen and from there on the dominant
theme is brought steadily to the front.
At the proper time che subordinates
every interest to one. throws all the
lesser characters Of her book into the
shadow, destroys the scaf'oldipg by
which she built this tragedy and leaves
Maggie rulliver's cross and expiation
above and supreme. The tragedy rises
like the black flood that came down the
Floss, engulang field and hamlet and
town and mill. leaving those two figures
to stand out alone above all the world
for moment before they sink into the
flood. THE boat reappeared. but bro.

as man sees whole city by flash of

man or woman be born who can write
like that sgain? Perhaps sometime Mr..
PhillT otis, whose career began not long
ago. may give us something as full Of
nature and truth as his Children of the
Mist" Yet fashioned with q more
rigorous and compelling hand. He has
the temper from which all health in
literature springs. He sees the world

at it. HE book is full-blcoded, free

So Etienne went forth upon bis jour

Number 5. John Street." One of the
most daring innovations Of M. Rostand's
novel "Cyrano de Bergerac'' was its
astonishingly long list Of dramatis per-
sonae. Playwrights have found that
drama can be worked out very we'll with
dozen characters. or even fewer, and
that this economy Of time gives an OPP
portunity to develop the really impor.
tant people Of the play more fully. The
same change has taken place 10 the
novel 10 France. 10 Russia aud in Eng
land. Mr.. Howells aud Henry James

has grown more like the novel. 90 the

returned to the older manner. aud his
book takes up the lives and fortunes Of
an entire Dartmoor community. His
novel deals not with few persons and

universal, ever present problem OF get.
ting through the worli somehow. He
considers. the life OF q town. the in.

The large, new, three story hotel be- ing built by Messrs. Kern & Warner is now ready for the public. This hotel has no peer north of Juneau. It is weatherboarded and double lined, and has 20 large, comfortable, we'll lighted rooms. The ladies' parlor is on the second floor. The building is made safe from fire by we'll built brick chim- neys. The Hotel Spooner will be used as an annex and the complete build ing will be known as the City Hotel. This hotel is credit to Haines and is being literally patronized.
 The Haines Commercial Club called special meeting Saturday evening in honor of Col. Sol Ripinsky, the Haines delegate to the convention at Juneau. The Colonel made good speech that was appreciated, and received vote of thanks from the club for his untiring efforts at the convention at Juneau. The chairman's address was as follows:
 Col. Ripinsky: The members of this club, and your constituency at large have been watching with interest the manner in which you served them at the territorial convention from which you have just returned.
 That your heart was right we knew; that your energy was great, we had no doubt; and that your ability was sutti- cient to cope with the weighty and i'm portant questions which would come before the convention, we were we'll satisfied. And, as further favor from you, we have asked you to meet with us tonight, that we may thus publicly eX- press to you our appreciation for the able and conscientious manner in which you have represented us and guarded our interests, and also that you might have an opportunity to inform your fellow citizens of what has been accom- plished by the convention in the inter ests of the people of Alaska.
 And now, on behalf of the Haines Commercial Club, and the citizens of Haines, welcome you to your home amongst us, and heartily thank you for your efforts in our behalf, and now ask you to address the Club.

WAR on THE TRAMP TRIBE.
Unwashed Gentry Of Leisure VIII nc
Longer BE Tolerated.

Recently this city has been much
troubled BY tramps. They infest the
suburbs and residence portions of the
city by day, begging; and at night they
sleep in box cars and unoccupied houses.
In addition to this there is tramp
camp west of the city.
The condition of affairs in this re-
spect has become so bad that this paper
called the attention of the police to it
and they have started a crusade of ex-
termination against the hobo and the
tramp. Every night now several are
bagged, and next morning shown to the
city limits. A return insures for them
a term on the roads.
Yesterday morning an even half dozen
were marched to the corporate time
and requested not to retrace their steps.
They We're: L. ]. Ferrall, Fred Nelson,
John Norman, j. i. N. Wilson and

The last named was Il negro. He was
deaf and dumb and claimed to be from
