HAYNES HAPPENINGS.


 Leon A. Labay has the contract of carrying the mail between this place and the Porcupine mines, making two trips per week.
 The steamer Ruth discharged quite a lot of freight here on her last trip for our merchants and also for the interior.
 Chas. Hopkins and N. Trubschenck returned yesterday from Mir. Hopkins quartz ledge near Mud bay, where they have been working for the past three weeks.
 T. J. Lyman, James Cannon, Wm. Paddock and Mir. Donnelly went down the canal last week on prospecting trip. We hope they will strike it rich
 Wm. Colgrove started up the Tuhkien river last Sunday with two men. As Mir. Colgrove is a prospector, we pre- sume that he goes to locate the men.
 There was a genuine stampede from Haines a short time ago up the Chilkat river above Klukwan. It proved to be a practical joke played off on our good people, which they took in good part.
 The News is very much mistaken in the statement that Simon Weitzman, one of our popular merchants, was go- ing to Nome before laying in a new stock of goods for his store here. He has already a part of his new stock on the shelves. And furthermore, he does not think of going to Nome at all. He has better thing right here at Haines. He went out the other day with Chief Johnson and located one of the finest quartz lodges in Alaska.
 A sad misfortune befell two of our town boys short time ago. A. G. My CTS and AdoIph Hochgesang started up to their mines in a boat loaded with their supplies and apparatus for min ing, and up near Bull island, in the ChiIkat river, the boat caught on tree which was leaning out over the river and turned over and Adolph Hochge- sang was drowned. Myers saved him. self almost by miracle by divesting himself of his coat, hat and boots. He came back to Haines and told the sad news of the death of his partner. M. w. Lane, Harry Fay, L. Y. Wilson, Tom Vogle and c. E. Jerome went back with him to search for the body of the un- fortunate man, but without success The drowned man was a native of Ger many, about thirty-fve years old. We are told that he has friends in Seattle New Whatcom and Tacoma, but no rel atives in America.
 A novel and rather romantic wedding was soIemnized here on nJune2nd before our U. s. court commissioner, Judge Ripinsky, the contracting parties being Capt. E. Bright of San Franciso, said to be one of the most noted sea cap tains on the Pacific coast, and Miss Anna Vlasoik, one of the leading soci- ety beIIes of New York. Her father we are told, is one of the leading pro- 1 fessors in a German college there, Theirs was a case of love at first sight They met on the steamer Ruth on her last trip up (both being passengers) and by the time the boat reached here they were not only ready but anxious to sacrifice themselves on the altar of Hymeu. May their married life be re, plete with all the blessings vouchsafed to mortal beings. May they live long and happy in each others love, and all their troubles and trials in this life be little ones.

The Japanesa army has astonishcd the world by it's gallantry and grit" remarked visitor from San Francisco the other day. My business has thrown ne into frequent contact with the Jap anese, and 1 have had an unusual op- p0rtunity for studying their character. To begin with. they ale intensely proud of their country, as they well nay be, because of it's almost miraculous devel- opmert from oriental barbarism to comparative civilization in little more than one generation. Modern commer- Cialism has not yet destroyed lofty ideals among them, and they are cram med full of patriotism of the most TO- mantle brand. Glory is as good a word to coniure with there as it was in France under Napoleon the Great, and a soldier asks nothing better than a chance to die in his uniform. provid- cd always that he can do it in a fine. dramatic fashion for the edification Of the honest folks at home. A highly ed ucated and very intelligent Japanese Of my acquaintance tells me the native school books are filled with stories of heroism on the field of battle and that almost every cemetery in the empire has tombstones with stirring epitaphs in honor of those who fell in the former war with China. Certain days are set apart for public ceremonies in memory of the soldier dead; poems are read, songs are sung by children and young women and what is most important of all, special pains are taken to celebrate the va,or of humble private troopers who fell in action. They are mentioned by name, their deeds are recited by the chief men of the place and there must be something tremendously inspiring in the spectacle of a whole community as sembled to do homage to the memory of some poor fellow who may have been a Lere laborsr in private life.
