In Need of It.

Those who are competent to judge, say that Douglas City has bad set of small boys, and, in fact, some of the older ones nad to be suspended from the public schools, for the teachers were unable to govern them. There was one boy that attended school for a time during the past fall that wanted to keep up the reputation of the town and he made it exceedingly interesting for his teacher, Miss Kate Spiers. One day she found him in possession of a vulgar note and concluded that Rus- pension was not the proper remedy, so she sent for her sister, Miss Gertrude, who teaches the advanced scholars in building near by. On the arrival of her sister she begged for assistance, and she got it. Miss Gertrude held the boy and Miss Kate waded in, figur- atively speaking, and she whaled that boy to stand-still, and then gave him some more. Did it do any good? Yes indeed, for she has not seen or heard of a vulgar note since.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
DISTRICT OF ALASKA,

DISTRICT OF ALASha, EXECUTIVE OFFICE, SITKA, ALASKA, ,l899. We, here in Alaska, have good reason for rendering praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God. We rejoice with our friends and relatives in the States that they have been blest with abundant harvests and that they are enjoying period of wonderful prosperity. We are thankful that Alaska is a land of promise. Here God has gendered the treasures of the snow and hail. The dust of fine gold has He strewn over the valleys, aye even over the strands of the sea, and many hundreds have been rewarded for their toll. He has made veins iu the mountains for the precious ores. The earth gives forth iron and coal, and the very stones yield their share of copper. Grass and moss have not failed and the sea has bounti- fully enriched us from it's stores. Surely we can rejoice with thanksgiving.
 In accordance with the proclamation of the President and the time-honored custom of the forefathers, therefore l, John G. Brady. Governor of the Dis trict of Alaska, do hereby appoint THURSDAY, THE 3Oth DAY OF NOV, 1899, as day of solemn and public thanks giving to God for past blessings and of supplication for his continued kindness and care over us as a District and Ma tion.
 On the day designated let us assem- ble at our respective places of worship and with grateful praise and thanks giving confess our responsibility to God, the Creator of us all, and forget not to share our plenty with the widows and strengthen the arms of the father less, to comfort the sick, cheer the un- fortunate and manifest charity toward all.
 Given under my hand and the great seal of the District of Alaska, at Sitka, this 18th day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun dred and ninety-nine, the one hundred and twenty-fourth year of our Ameri- can Independence, and the thirty-third of the transfer of the Territory from Russia to the United States.

Al The Churches.

The Methodists held services in the Friends church in this city last Sunday afternoon and the pastor, Rev. B. V Smith preached a good sermon from the 18th and 14th verses of the 7th chap. ter of Matthew. The congregation was a large one and a splendid song service preceded the sermon. The Misses Lar sen and Messrs. Denny and Claggett, of Juneau, led the singing, and Mrs. Lar sen presided at the organ. The sing ing at this service was probably the best ever heard on Douglas Island, and seemed like perfect harmony itself. The anthems, duetts and quartettes were universally enjoyed, and these sweet singers are most welcome visi- tors to DouglasCity.
 Rev H. Hammond Cole preached to a good congregation last Sunday evening from the text "We then, as workers to- gether with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. J ? Cor. 6:1. After an introduction de- fning the peculiar surpassing love which is designated the grace of God, Pastor Cole set forth that it would be in vain first, if it did not here and now win us from the world to the Christlike life second, unless we were found at the right hand of Jesus Christ in the day of judgment and third, unless we should spend eternity in heaven with our Savior. The first was emphasized as being the most important for it in- cIuded the others logically and prac- tically.
