Back From A Two Months Vacation In Cali fornia And Sound Citles--Prophetic
 Visiou Of The News.

Mir. A. w. Corbus, Manager of the mercantile department at Treadwell, returned to Douglas Island, on the To- peka last week, after an absence ot about two months. MT. Corbus is hard worker and the vacation did him good. Everybody is glad to see him back and the News man made special trip to see and greet him.
 "WeI, what kind of an outing?" said the News man.
 every pleasant indeed There were but few days rainy weather where l was during my absence from Douglas Island"
 "Times good in the coast cities l sup pose?"
 "Yes. San Francisco especially, is full of life. She will run a fleet of steamers to Nome next summer and will make fight for the Alaska trade. The Sound cities are going right ahead too, and enjoying prosperity"
 Our readers will remember that few weeks ago, we stated that MT. Corbus was about to return, and that he would not come alone. The News, with it's prophetic vision, always speaks the truth, and sure enough,-he brought a bull dog back with him.
 The friends of the popular manager are all extending congratulations.
 Owing to their extensive mining in terests, which will from this on take the greater portion of their time, Batchelor & Bernard have concluded to close out their stock of Millinery, Gents Fur nishing goods, Boots, Shoes and Cloth i ing on Seward street, between First and Second, opposite Alaska Furniture Go. in Juneau. This stock is new and well selected, and purchasers can rely on getting a bargain, however small the purchase.
 However delicate the subject may be, yet we will say that if Superintend, ent Corbus will attend the Methodist service next Sunday at p. m. at the Friends church, he may occupy seat next to the News man and sing off oul book.
 Mrs. J. M. HorTidge is sick.

A HONEY nAKER.
The Fair Held by the Congregational Church of
 This City Decided Success.

For some time past the members of the Ladies' League of the Congrega- tional Church of this city have been preparing to hold a fair for the purpose of putting the church finances in an easier shape, and the time set for the opening was on last Thursday after noon and evening at the church build ing in Douglas City.
 A fair, however, was not all that there was to this money making scheme for on Thursday and Friday evenings fine literary and musical programme was rendered and an elegant lunch was served at the former and chicken din ner at the latter
 The booths at the fair were eight in number and were as follows:
 Fancy Work ...............>.........
 Mesdames Landsberg and Bach. Useful Articles. ...... ............ Mes
 danes Mcdonald and Laughlin. Candies ................. -. Misses
 Kate Spiers and Esther Crofts Books and Photographs. Mrs. Bodwell
 Mrs. Mackie and Miss Sandman. Children's Fish Pond Mrs. Heddle Ice Cream. ................. -.
 Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Gilbert. Japanese Tea Room. ...................
 ....... Misses Nelson and Beard. Lunch Table. Miss Gertrude Spiers Dinner Table. ................... .......
 Mesdames Mackie and Crofts. Of course the ladies did the greater portion of the work. This is always the case in church work, although it is claimed that Pastor Cole was notable exception to this rule. The net pro- ceeds were between S240 and S250.
 Literary programs were rendered on the two evenings and merited much praise. They were as follows:

Long distance telephone CONVEX
sations, or rather series of con-
versations, recently occurred be-
tween parties in New York and st.
Louis. The total cost of them
was said to be about $1,000; most
of the talking was said to be done
at night, and the bill for one con-
tinuous conversation amounted to
S7l6. This figure indicates that
the talk must have lasted into the
high priced day hours, for anyone
can converse from eight O'Clock in
the evening to six o'clock in the
morning for $500, the rate being
81 per minute. Special care was
taken to avoid interruption by
operators cutting into the line.

The tribunal of Modica, in the Sicilian
province Of Syracuse, recently pro-
nounced a sentence which is declared to
have no parallel in the judicial annals Of
Italy, as it has probably none in those of
any other country.
A man named Lupo Salvatore OF Co
misc had passed himself off as an advO-
cate and had with consummate skill com
mitted 63 different acts of serious fraud,
in which he succeeded in using the ma
chinery of the law. He had forged the
signatures Of the president and judges Of
the high court, of the kings procurator
and Of the chancellor Of the court From
this last mentioned official he had even
with splendid audacity, stolen for a short
time the seal of the chancery, which he
needed to give effect to his fraudulent
documents.
The sentence is even more remarkable
than the crime. Salvatore was condemn
ed to three years Imprisonment on each
of the SO cases, which brings the total Of
the sentence to 1S9 years, though the
longest incarceration which the convict
can be legally made to undergo is 80
years. The penalty inflicted is in each
case the minimum for the offense. Had
the court decided upon the maximum,
which is ten years, the aggregate term Of
Imprisonment would have been $50 years,

charges are lower, but we doubt whether
there are any in which more can be had fol
