"Joe Manley's little rat terrier" Now
that is something like an argument.

The postmastership of Pembroke, Me-
has been held by one family longer
than that of any other town in the coun-
try. William Kilby was appointed to the
office in 1900, and his direct descendants
have handled the mails ever since his re-
tirement in 1910.
We clip this item from Western paper
ard it has had quite run in our Maine
exchanges. We think, however, that
Dannysville should be substituted for
Pembroke. What is said above is true of
Dennysville. We have the whole story in
a scrap book Can it be true of Penn

1t has just come out that on that fate
full May morning in Manila Bay, Dewey
Withdrew from the fight with the Spanish
fleet not to breakfast exultingly in the
face of crippled and vanquished foe,
but to calculate whether the magazines of
the American ships were well filled enough
to risk further fighting or whether re-
treat must be ordered AS far as the
American officers knew no Spanish ship
had been injured during the first two
hours of fighting. Bath Times.
This statement is made by Joseph L.
Sdckney in Harper's Magazine for Feb
ruary. Mr.. Stickney was the New York
Herald correspondent at Manila and was
on the bridge with Com. Dewey during
the fight. This takes good deal of the
opera bouffe element out of the affair, but
it was nevertheless remarkable naval en-
gagement. After the ships had with
drawn ''for breakfast it was found that
the enemy had suffered severely, and
when hostilities were resumed the Span
ish ships were speedily disposed of.

The suffragists this year are bending
their efforts to the petition for the aboli-
tion of taxes on all property held by
women-a measure which will be hearti

might be in the wife's name.
That petition is hardly a credit to the
intellectually of the suffragists, whether
viewed as a piece If craftsmanship or as a
piece Of sarcasm. lBiddeford Journal:

Judging from the petitions presented to
the legislature for the repeal of the road
commissioner law, and the general senti-
ment regarding it, we are likely to return
TO the old system, which also has has its
objections. In some few localities we
have noticed that the present law is
favored; and perhaps the best course
would he to amend the law, leaving the
appointment Of a commissioner optional
with the towns.

This should encourage the belief that

THE ALASKA JUDICIARY.
Short Biographical Sketches of
 the Men Who Run the Courts.
UNCLE SAFES SERVANTS.

Our readers hear much concerning the Alaska courts and the names of the men who keep the complicated ma chinery running are familiar to all AL askans. but further than this but little is known of the men from Judge to the Clerk of the Court Realizing this to be the case the News, which is always on the alert for matters of interest to it's readers, concluded to get some of the early history of the men that Uncle Sam has seut to us to administer our laws and keep the inhabitants of the district within due bounds. Our task should not have been surrounded with any difficulties and yet, owing to the hurry and hustle that always exists du- ring court, we have spent considerable time in collecting the matter which we now present to our readers.
 HON. CHARLES s. JOHNSON, JUDGE.
 Charles Sumner Johnson, the judge of the United States District Court, was born in Jones county, Iowa, in a ! log cabin on the Iowa prairies in the year 1854. At the age of thirteen he removed to Clarinda, of that state, and graduated from the high school. He 1 then learned the printers trade after which he attended the Agricultural l College at Ames, Iowa, but was not permitted to graduate from that school owing to the lack of means with which 1 to finish bis course. Some time after this he attended the law department of the Iowa State University, and gradua- 1 ted from that school in the class of 1877. He then moved to Wahoo, Nebr., where 1 he entered upon the practice Of law. In 1879 he was elected city attorney and was elected a member of the Ne braska legislature in 1882. In 1885 he removed to Nelson, in the same state, and the year following was elected prosecuting and county attorney and was afterward reelected to that office. During the year 1889 he was appointed U. s. District attorney for Alaska, which position he held for four and one-half years after which he removed to Juneau and engaged in the practice of law with MT. John G. Held one of the leading lawyers of Alaska. In 1897 he received the appointment of U. s. District jndge and was confirmed by the senate.
 Judge Johnson attended three nation al conventions, in 1884, 1888 and 1896 and was chairman of his delegation in the last convention and also a member of the committee appointed to notify President McKinly of his nomination and visited Canton, Ohio, when the committee met there for the perform ance of it's duties. The Judge is at the present time the national commit teeman for Alaska.
 Judge Johnson is we'll fitted for the responsible position he holds. He pos sesses that cool, deliberate makeup that is not only desirable in a judge, but should in fact be possessed by every judicial officer who presides over trial

THE FIRST WOMAN IN ATLIN.
How a Woman Should Dress for
 a Trip to the Interior.
THE WOTIAN IN TROUSERS,

Mrs. Jno. Merrifcld, the first white woman to get into Atlin was a passcn- ger on the Dirigo, on her way to Skag uay. whore she will meet her husband after an absence of three months. Mr.. Mcrrifield is one of the former CasSiar miners, but is now engaged in running a pack train from Skaguay to the lake. Mrs. Merrifield is a small blaCk-cycd. good-looking woman with more nerve than is necessary for one person to possess. She has been all over the northwest, including Dawson City, but apparently has not made as much money as she wants, for she says she and her husband will remain in Alaska until they make a big strike, or die here. The News man was told that Mrs. Merrifeld was on board and ap' proached her for an interview for the News. With some reluctance she con sented to give us a few pointers, and the most important to us was the prop CT dress for women to wear while mak- ing the trip in.
 "What is the proper dress for wo- man to wear in making the trip into the interior?" asked the News man.
 "There are but two ways for a woman to dress and be comfortable" was her reply. "To wear suit of nen's clothes is probably the best and most conyen- tent. Of course a long dress is entirely out of the question. The second is to wear dress not longer than your knees and mems trousers to protect your lower limbs. If woman wears a dress iC should be lined with chamois or buckskin. \ great many, perhaps the majority, wear mems clothing and one cannot always tell the women from the men in party. was over to the lake with my husband one trip. wore men's clothes and my husband and l retired for the night. The next morning I put on my short dress and we went to breakfast While eating, the landlord was enquiriug for the boy that was with our party. Ho was sur prised when my husband told him that was the boy that came with the party the evening before. Yes, many comical little incidents occur to wo- men wearing mems clothes, but in go- ing into the interior nothing is thought of woman dressing in the most com fortable manner.
 II suppose you used sleeping bag nights?" said the News man.
 ''No indeed" was the reply, "l do not like sleeping bag at all, l lie on a rubber blanket and have woolen blan- kets and canves over me, which is much the best. That makes me think of little experience had in sleep. ing bag. When 1 first came to Alaska I used one. We were out on trip and I did not get up early in the morning. was awakened by some one taking hold of the bag and dragging it toward the sleds. The noise made could have been heard for geversi miles, and

 GEN. ROBERT A. FRIEDRICH, DIST. ATTY.
 The subject of this sketch is fifty eight years of age and was born in the state of Kentucky. His father was for years an officer in the PrusSian army. He removed from his native land to tue state of Kentucky, whero he married lady who belonged to ono of the first families of that state. His son Robert was educated i'll his native state and graduated from the law department of the State University. He removed to Topeka, Kansas, where he entered upon the practice of law in 1872 and remained at that place until 1889. At Topeka Gen. Friedrich enjoyed agood practice and was one of the leading lawyers of the state. He has always been a repub- lican while all his friends and relatives in his native state were radical demo- crats. He was in deep sympathy with the union cause during the "unpleas- antness" while his relatives were equal ly as ardent in their support of the Southern cause. While in Topeka Gen, Friedrich was employed by the state to assist the county attorney in prosecut- ing liuuor cases under the prohibition laws of that state, in which he was very successful, securing convictions where all others failed. He was appointed Brigadier General of the Kansas Nation al Guards and also held the position of Adjutant General of that state. He re- moved to San Francisco in 1889 where he continued the practice of law. Gen. Friedrich was one of the leading law yers and republican politicians of Cal ifornia while he resided there. He was twice elected Commander i'll Chief of the Army and Navy League of Califor- mia, and was also chosen as chairman of the Union League Club, the high-toncd club of San Francisco.
 In Kansas Gen. Friedrich achieved his greatest reputation in criminal law, but in San Francisco his practice was principally corporation law.
 During the month of September last Gen. Friedrich came to Alaska, having haen appointed District Attorney in July, and at once entered upon the dis charge of his duties. His previous eX- perionce in criminal law has been of great benefit to him, for be has been successful in bis criminal cases from the first. Gen. Friedrich is a strong ] forcible talker, an eloquent speaker, and it matters not whether it be before 1 "a jury or addressing political meet ing, he is one of the best to be found anywhere.
 Gen. Friedrich is about six feet tall and weighs over 200 pounds and is we'll proportioned. He is a genial, social gentleman and can entertain friend or crowd in conversation in pleasing manner. His hair is dark and he wears mustache of the same color. We re- gret to say that he, like Judge Johnson, parts his hair in the middle. He has
