They Couldn't Sing.

Last Wednesday evening, a little al ter seven o'clock, three women were walking down Seward street in Juneau They seemed cheerful and happy and laughed and talked as they passed the News man. Going to church, or per haps prayer meeting, thought the VII ter, for they seemed to have such good, christian faces. The News man thought no more of the interesting trio and hur- ried along to Third street, but on hls return he observed the three women standing in the street at the corner ot Front and Seward facing toward the postofice. They had book from which they were singing, and their voices rang out so loud, so clear in the pure evening air that the writer stopped to hear. Presently man came down Seward street. The women were near the sidewalk, and the pedestrian, as he neared the sweet singers, put his hat in correct position on his head, curled the ends of his mustache with his fingers, but just as he was about to exhibit one of those "please look at me" smiles, his feet slipped and let the man down at full length on the icy sidewalk, The celer- itv of his movements in getting up would have surprised an engineer of fast mail train, but he finally gathered himself together and sCampered off where he could not be seen. As soon as the man got onto his feet one of the women quit singing, and laugh, you ought to have seen her. Then another one of the trio stopped short and she too could no longer contain her mirth. No doubt her corset kept her sides from a dangerous expansion. Up to this time the third woman continued Ill the song-it had been changed from a trio to a solo-but the mirth of her SIS ters was too much for her, and the sing ing stopped, but only for an instant. Then one would sing a few words and stop and laugh, another would take up the song to be relieved by the third and the poor things just laughed and tried to sing until the end of the verse when all further efforts ceased. These good true women came onto the street to do Gods will, to teach Christ and Him cru cifed. to tell the beautiful story to those wicked Juneau people who do not go to church, but the poor things made a failure, and all because man fell down.

A Texas boy who came to Alaska last February wrote his sister letter which she sent to an eastern paper, from which we take the following extract:
 "Juneau, Alaska, is anold Esquimaux village and 1 was much interested Ill watching the EsquimauX with their dogs and reindeer pulling their sleds. It is too cold for cattle and horses here as they have ice and snow the year round, and in winter the days gre only q few hours long. Our voyage ended at Skaguay and when 1 saw all the snow and ice began to wish were at home"
 Juneau is not an EsquimauX village, there are none of those people there. The boy probably saw some Indians. He did not see any reindeer, for there are none used i'll Juneau, and he did not see any Indians using dogs in pull ing sleds, for the Indians haven't enourh sense to to make such good use of dogs. The statement that 1t Is too cold for cattle and horses in this part of Alaska is not only an unmitiga- ted lie, but wilfully so, for all the haul ing is done with horses, besides, Juneau and Douglas City each have fine dai- ry, with large number of COWS, and other cattle Daylight continues du- ring February from six to eight hours. The letter published in the eastern pa Der is continuation of lies from be- ginning to end. The boy was probably sent here to reform him, but he seems to have grown worse We have been in Alaska for more than year, we also know the eastern climate, and the win ters around Juneau are not near so cold as in the eastern or western states.
 This descendant of Annanias in writ ing of his trip from Victoria to Juneau, says:
 "Mountains covered with snow, huge icebergs and glaciers along the coast on one side of us and the deep blue sea on the other"
 Off again. During all that distance referred to there are but few places where the ocean can be seen in coming Queen Charoltte's Sound and DiXon's Entrance. Across each of these it is three or four hours run for the Queen. We regret that that Texas boys name and post office address is unknown to us. The people of the earth should be warned of his lying qualifications.

failure of our guuners to bic the enemy.
We had begun the firing at too great 3

Columbia, Feb. 1.-THE liquor
question vas discussed 10 both the
senate and house at great length.
The senate finally passed the Archer
bill, which will permit any county to
vote on the subject of prohibition. and
a majority in any county DOW having a
dispeassry may establish prohibition.
An amendment to give the people the
right to vote on high lieepp prohibi
ton was voted down, as was also Mr.
Appelt's bill, and Mr. Henderson, 3
substitute.
The bill to aeportion the dispeDsary
funds in the counties that have dispen-
saries. eharing out the prohibition
counties. was Killed.
After . discussion of several hours
the house las: night adjourned at
1870 o'clock without taking action on
the liquor question. It seems that the
end will hardly be reached before to-
pight. There are evidences Of .
proorastinasiDg policy oe the part Of the
dispensary supporters, bat the house
refused to consider the motion to resume
the discussion yesterday morning.
Mr. McCullougb's prohibition bill
vas killed by q vote of 80 to 20.
The bill nader discussion yesterday
was Mr. Robinson's referendum. How
ever the discussion embraced the liquor
problem generally rather than this bill.
