CRUSHING BRITISH DEFEAT
CARRIGAN HOME AGAIN.
He Attends Church. Letter From
Rev. G.. w. Morrow Read. Says
He Was Not Drunk.

Randolph, Dee. 10.--The principal
topic discussed on the streets, in the
stores, ETC., is the Carrigan case. Mr..
and Mrs. Carrigan arrived home on
the evening train saturday night and
attended services at the Christian
church yesterday.
He claims that he was not drunk,
and had only imbibed very little
liquor, just enough to keep up appear
anccs and make the boys think that
ne was one of them and so secure
evidence.
The general sentiment here seems
to be more of pity for him than any
thing else. There are many who
strongly denounce those who hired
him to do this business, and thus
placing him again in danger of ac-
curing anew IA desire for Intoxicating
liquor.
Rev. Mr.. Chidley, the pastor of the
Christian church, read the following
letter to his people yesterday from
Rev. C. w. Morrow. in explanation
of the trouble at st. Adams.

Burlington, VT, Dec. 8, 1899.

Dear Brother Chidley: | have made
two trips to St. Adams, have investi-
gated thoroughly the case OF Mr.. Car
rigan, and the reports OF the press
against him. The case is utterly with
out foundation. He was not drunk.
The man with whom he was speaking
when the officers came up, says he was
not drunk. and the whole thing of his
having taken a swallow of WhiSkey,
his having the bottles and all are eX-
planned by what he was doing IN 81.
Albans, The authorities have drop
ped him. paying the fine themselves,
although funds were already in the
hands of the Anti-Saloon League to
have him released, and they mol pros.
sed the other case.
DR.. Avery and the committee say
he was not drunk, and they have rea-
sor1and had opportunity to know MS
condition. am sorry that the press
of the state takes 1t for granted tlat
Mr.. Carrigan sacrificed his own NOR
ais and became drunk to accomplish
his attempted work. He has done
nothing of the kind. Mr.. Carrlgan
and his wife will testify to the fact
that his entering into this work was
thoroughly and seriously canvassed,
and he went into it after due consld-
Grafton ON the part Of all, and in due
time the truth will be known, and we
can wait for Justification.
Respectfully,
G.. w. MORROW.

THE ALASKA LIQUOR LAWS.

Elsewhere in this issue of the News will be found that part of the Alaska legislation which prGscribes the amount of the license tax those doing business in this district must pay to the govern ment and we are much surprised to ob- serve that the preacher, the lawyer and She newspaper men have escaped ana the only reason apparent to us for this inexCusahle omission Is that Governor Brady, Juneau'S representative at Washington belongs to the two former professions and Is closely related by marriage to the latter.
 Gov. Brady was asked by the commit tee if the provision relating to the sale of liquOrS would be satisfactory and probably practical, but the Juneau rep resenbative -shied" around the inter rogatery, but admitted that of the 403 places Ill Alaska in which liquor Is sold only POO would take out licenses, frosn which we infer that at least one half of those engaged in the liquor traffic. m the opinion of the Governor, will be so badly disappointed that they will. for various reasons, abandon the business in this district.
 We can say to Gov. Brady that the HOuOr law ls not satisfactory and that 1t will not be practical, either, and we cannot refrain from also saying that whiIe in Washington as the representa- tive of our sister city across the chan nel he was derelict in the discharge of his duties in failing to say so to the committee when asked to express his opiniou upon the subject.
 Among the few objections tO the law are:
 That the license Is too high.
 That the court should have been given the power to grant license with out the option features.
 That to require an applicant for h- eense to do business in building that has net cost less than $500 Is unjust.
 That the applicant for a license, be- sides paying a large amount of money to the governSent, will also be com pelled to pay cut great deal of mouey to, secure men to canvass for signerS to She petition
 That in Douglas City an applicant will be compelled to secure the sigma lures of majority of the white pOpu- lation over Is years of age in Juneau and Tresdwen, they being less than swom miles from the place where the bus mess is to be conducted.
 That besides paying expenses, the ap elieant must also pay an additional in- SerRal revenue tax.
 That it drives a poor man out of bus mess.
 That with only one court in Alaska, the presentation of proof of applicants petition of St. Michaels and the upper Yukon will involve an additional ex- pense of hundreds of dollars
 The fact is, there is hardly limit to the objections that can justly be urged against the law It would have been much better for Alaska if congress had failed to give us any legislation. Truly, it Is a case of mans inhumanity to man.

A large number of passengers on the Cottage City left the boat last Thurs day evening and went to Juneau on the FIosie from Treadweu. The engineer on the ferry boat gave the lever an eN- tra pull and how she did fly. Many of the passenger had not seen the Flosie before, but the praise she received was profuse and richly deserved.

BERLIN'S CLEAN STREETS.

[From the Boston Transcript
Bicyclists who have ridden much on
the asphalt streets of German cities say
that the tendency to side slip" is there
much less marked than on similar
pavements in this country The ex-
PLANTATION of this fact may possibly
lie in the statement which is made by
the American consul at Breslau that
the asphal streets in that city are reg
uIarly washed, the purpose of the wash
ing being to remove the slime which
the asphalt seems to leave and to keep
the street from being slippery The
washing has further effect of preserV-
ing and hardening the asphalt. The
care taken of the asphalt by the city
authorities contrasts strongly with the
methods usually adopted in the United
States.
For instance. the space in front of the
consulate is divided into four squares,
which are in charge Of one man. After
cleaning the street early in the morning
he wheels out a barrow load of very
fine sharp sand and scatters it lightly
over the streets to prevent slipping. On
rainy days the process is repeated sew
eral times. Once a week the whole
street is sluiced and thoroughly washed
with sprinkling carts These are fol-
lowed by ample roller brushes. which
sweep the water and slime into the gut
ter, whence il is carried away. After
this the man who has charge of the
street comes along with his Wheelbar-
row and sand sprinkler. In spring or
autumn, when the streets are often
sloppy and wet, the washing is done
several times during the week.
The man in charge of the asphalt
pavement is paid 5'cents an hour, the
ordinary street hands receiving 4 cents.
Nobody filters up the street or puts
sweepings on the pavement There is
a box kept for these. Wire baskets are
fastened on lamp posts, against houses.
fences or trees, in which the public
may throw waste paper while walking
along. The citizens are very proud
of their clean and understanding
streets, and the householders have to
sweep to the center of the street in
front of their sidewalks every morning
before 6 o'clock The litter is piled up
and soon the city teams cart it away.

A SIMEON IN THE DESERT.

CFrom the Atlantic Monthly.1
So this yellow, sunburned life drags
its yellow weight across the endless
plains A fatelike, awful march; no
hope, no halt for man or beast; but on,
on, over the spreading pillows OF biting
sands, of glowing, shifting, sinking
sands, with overhead the hot sky, blue
and hard, and blazing in its midst the
scorching eye that burns and blisters
with its sight.
In agony the camels stumble on, beat
at the dense hot wall Desperately the
coolies hide their faces in the hot
swaying lunches before them; but
through their stuDor there beats
wave of consciousness. A shudder
brings them to a knowledge of a some
thing awful. Through the sun-steeped,
sun-bleached minds there cuts a keener
stab. They are awake to whatT
Into the coarse camel hair they dig
their fists; tighter they press to the 1iv-
ing things beneath them; they look not
to one another; words they have not
In the presence of this heat they dare
not breathe. COnvulsively they cling
to the stumbling beasts, and in low,
dry sObs the anguish of body breaks
forth. Between the two, the brute and
man, there strikes a flash Of mutual
pain and torment An instant, and
down the camel line there breaks the
brute'S shrili, sOul-1fke cry. In II they
voice their all, the pent-up spirit Of the
bitter yellow beasts, burdened and tor
tured for life. In it comes a question
for the shrinking wretches lying on
their humps. The bitter sounds fan on
the parched tense air and die away.
Far away comes a gasp-a hot vic
iOus pant Again il comes-a breath Of
fire that touched and is gone. The great
line halts as one. A blank. dead mo-
ment; in it the bosom of the desert
heaves, and a breath rolls toward the
waiting line. With broken means the
creatures bend their knees and wait the
coming Of the storm. Another scorch-
ing breath-a timeless wait.
Far to the east it starts, across the
sands it whirls in circling hoops that
form at last a wall On 1t curls swift
~, silently; with a hot, fierce Iurch it
falls upon the crouching backs, singing
with fangs Of fire. pelting, binding the
gaspfng. painting creatures; with its
dry lash whipping out the lives Of men
and beasts. Faster, thicker hotter, fall
the sands, crushing and burying with
a merc1less Weight-an ocean Of burn
ing fire pouring wrath and strength
upon these wretches as it hurls its mad
force across the desert The pillows
toss and heave, and break at last to
sweep on-On for other prey.
