1T Was Ordered.

In the biography of Prince Bismarck
it is said that when he was minister at
st. Petersburg he was walking one
morning in the summer garden and met
the car, who invited him to join him.
Presently Bismarck noticed a sentry
stationed in the middle of a large grass
plot and asked the aid-de-camp who in
turn inquired of the sentry.
''It is ordered" was his reply.
Every official gave the same answer,
"It is ordered" but nobody knew by
whom. A sentry had always stood
guard in the middle of that innocent
grass plot. The archives were searched,
but in vain. At last an aged official
was found, who had been told by his
father that the Empress Catherine had
once seen a snowdrop ready to bloom in
the spot, and had ordered sentry to
stand guard and allow no one to pluck
it. For more than century the watch
had been maintained because sit was
ordered" and no one had ever thought
Of disobeying or of questioning the rea-
son of the order.

WashingtOn's Tomb.

Washington was buried in what Is
kow known as the old vault, which is
perhaps 900 feet away from his present
resting place Before his death he had
requested that a new family vault be
constructed after his decease, and the
reason given for this is that the earth
upon the side of the hill where the old
vault was placed was likely to slip away
in the springtime.
No attention was apparently paid to
this request, however, until about
1880, when an employee who had been
discharged from the estate broke into
the old tomb as an act of revenge and
stole a skull which he supposed to be
that of George Washington. This he
took to Alexandria, and, as usual in
such cases, "got drunk" and so his
secret was discovered, and the skull,
which proved to be that of Laurence
Washington instead, was returned.
This incident led to the final carrying
out of the wish of General Washington
The tomb which is his present resting
place was promptly built, and in 1881
his remains were removed to it. The old
vault was allowed to fall into state of
decay, and only few years ago it was
restored by the aid of drawings found
in the congressional library. An iron
fence has been built around it, and it
now receives the same care as the new
tomb.

julius Cesar.

Of all great conquerors, writes Marion
Crawford in ''Studies From the Chron-
icles of Rome" he was the least cruel,
for he never sacrificed human life with
out the direct intention of benefting
mankind by an increased social stabili
ty. Of all great lawgivers he was the
most wise and just, and the truths he
set down in the Julian code are the
foundation Of modern justice. Of all
great men who have leaped upon the
world as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided it with relentless hands
and ridden it breathless to the goal Of
glory, Caesar is the only one who turned
the race into the track Of civilization
and, dying, left mankind q future in
the memory Of his past. He is the one
great man of all without whom it is
impossible to imagine history. We can
not take him away and yet leave any
thing Of what we have. The world
could have been as it is without Alex
ander, without Charlemagne, without
Napoleon. 1t could not have been the
world we know without Caius julius

DA WSON CITY SWEPT BY FIRE.

A dispatch from Victoria, B. @. says
that another disastrous fire has visited
Dawson City, this time fairly wiping
out the entire business centre of the
town, creating losses that will aggre-
gate 100000, with not dollars
telegraphed from Bennett by the
special correspondent of the Daily
ALASKAN, who received it from "a mau
who had just reached Bennett from a
long and perilous trip from Dawson.
The fire occurred on April 81, the
flames starting near the opera house
on the water front and spreading with
unusual rapidity, driven by a strong
wind. All the buildings burned like
finder, due to the fact that they had
been standing for nearly two years,
and the logs were dry as powder. The
people were unable to save anything
in the way of furniture, goods and
clothing.
The fire came at a time when the
mills and dealers in building materi-
ais had exhausted their winter sup
ply and were awaiting the opening of
navigation to replenish their. stocks.
The result is that there is famine in
all kinds of building material and fur
niture. The few articles still remain
ing outside of the burned district have
quadrupled in prices. Doors are sell
ling for $35 each, doorlocks So each
and everything else in proportion.
The town is paralyzed because moth
ing can be done until the opening of
navigation, which will not be for sew
eral weeks.

Secretary Long enthusiastically en-
dorses the project of raising sum of
money by popular subscription to
present Admiral Dewey with a house
in Washington. It would be fitting
popular tribute to the man who in a
day raised the United States to a po-
sition among the nations of the world,
which with all it's power and wealth,
it has never before occupied, and,
moreover, it would be a tribute the
gallant admiral will need. He will be,
until his death, which grateful coun-
try trusts may not occur for many
years, the ranking officer of our navy,
and as such his proper home will be
in Washington. 1t is true that his
salary as admiral is 1000 year, but
it would be a difficult matter for a
man of George Dewey's generous i'm
pulses to maintain an establishment
in Washington suitable to his rank on
that amount, and he has no other in
come. With a handsome home Civ
en- to him, he could live as the highest
ought to live, and judging by the re-
ception given the idea in Washington,
there are few persons in the country
who will not consider it an honor to
contribute to the Dewey home fund.
Those who know the admiral best
say that it would be we'll to push
this pr reject to conclusion before he
reaches the United States lest he
should kill it by asking that no money
be contributed for such purpose.

Red Hair the Best Wear.

Why are redheaded people less sub
ject to badness than those with fair or
brown hair3 An English physician has
answered this conundrum.
The hair of the redheaded is relative
~ thick, one red hair being as thick as
five blond or three brown hairs. With
80, 900 red hairs the scalp is we'll
matched With the same number of
blond hairs one is almost bald It takes
100, 600 blond and 1O5. 900 brown hairs
to cover adequately an ordinary head.

HER ANSWER.

! Judge Latham sat at his spacious board,
| With the guests who'd assembled there;
There were honorable men of the highest
rank,
There were beautiful ladies and fair.
One was brilliant Southern belle,
With eyes as dark as night;
And one was shy-faced country girl,
With brow so fair and white.
They seemed the extremes 'mong the score
OF guests,
The quiet, demure little May;
And the brilliant, accomplished and beau
tiful belle,
The sscentripetal forcen of the gay.
No redder the wine than the lips that it
touched,
AS she slipped from her sparkling glass;
Though his loriship admired, he turned
with relief,
To the fair little countrified lass.
The JUICE raised his glass with an autocrat's
hand,
And bowed to the innocent Miss;
Lord Tevan and lady and honorables all,
Were sitting and chatting in bliss.
But their chat was arrested; in wonder
they heard
The voice of the fair. country maid;
AS sternly and sweetly, she answered the
Judge:
ST can not drink wine, sir" she said.
'sWhat! can not drink wine with the host
of the feast!'l
And shadow passed over his brow;
Unconventional, Miss, to refuse" said
the judge,
ssWhat availeth your abstinence vow?"
Her sweet lips grew white but her eyes
shone with power,
And even his proud heart was awed,
AS she answered with pathos, SO earnest
and low.
81 can not break faith with my God.''

Women Should Know 1t

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease
is not correctly unerstOOd. They have
been led to believe that womb trouble or
female weakness of some sort is fespon-
sible for the many ills that beset woman
kind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, putty
or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma-
tism, dragging pain or dull ache in the
back, weakness or bearing-down sensa-
ton, profuse or scanty supply of urine
with strong odOr, frequent desire to pass
it with scalding or burning sensation,
sediment in it after standing in bottle or
common glass for twenty-fOur hours, are
signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attribute
bed by the patient herself or by her ply
stefan to female weakn ess or womb troub-
lie. Hence, so many fail to find relief,
because they are treating, not the disease
itself, but a reflection of the primary
cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder troub-
lie and both need the same remedy.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-SOOt is the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, and is easy to get at
any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar
To prove it's wonderful merits you may
have sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by

COBDENIFES ALARMED,

The Indian bill proposed by the Brit
ish government puts cOuntervailing
duties on bounty-fed sugar, and the
secretary of state of India, Lord George
Hamilton, has frankly declared that
the object of the bill is to prevent the
indigenous trade of India from being
undermined by subsidized foreign prod
ncts. Tie Cobdenits are greatly
aroused at this provision and express
the fear that it is the thin edge of the
Protection wedge and that it may
eventually be applied 10 Great Britain.
The "uaily Chronicle" says:
There is a strong impression that this
Indian duty is intended as feeler to an
English duty, and the whole Free-Trade
position is imperiled.n
Henry Labouchere, in "Truth, u
says:
1.-THE government is going to try an
Indian reactionary Protectionist policy
which it would not dare introduce 81
home. The bill may be the first step to-
ward general system of protection.h
There has been for some time 8
growing feeling in England in favor Of
protection. It would not be strange
if considerable impetus had been giver
to this feeling by the existing trade
conditions in the United Kingdom
With a tremendous balance of trade
against her every year, with the great
Protectionist country of the world
crowding her out of the worlds mar
kets and every year rolling up . tire
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1899-04-13

mendous favorable trade balance, it
would be strange indeed if British
statesmen did not give some serious
consideration to the question Of the
advisability of the adoption of pro-
lection policy. Golden prophesied
that inside of fifty years free-trade
would triumph in all the leading coun-
tries of the world. The fifty years is
barely up, and 1.-The century is closing
with the policy of protection stronger
than ever before, and with signs that
indicate that Cobden's own country,
which has stood for fifty years as the
nation of free-trade, may, within an
other decade, abandon free-trade and
adopt protection in order to save her
self from falling too far behind in the
commercial race.
