How many crimes may be attributed
to the gang will never be known. Silva

THE NEW COUNCIL.

The fl rst council of the new City of Skagway, chosen at yesterdays cleo tion, is model one. The people could not have well done better. There can be no danger of the city's interest suf- fering so long as its affairs are in the bands of the seven men chosen.
 The task these men have before them will be burdensome one and if they do their duty az thoroughly as the DAILY ALASKAN believes they will, the debt of gratitude that will be ow- ing to them will be great indeed. Upon them will devolve the duty of prepar- ing code of ordinances for the city and inaugurating the entire scheme of city government. They will make precedents for other councils to follow, and in many ways their work will have an influence upon the corporate body for many years to come. The work they will have to do will require much time and great care and the exercise of the hroadest intelligence. This is what they have undertak en, however, and the people will expect them to do their full duty in the premises. That their expectations will be fulfilled to to the fullest extent there is not a reason to doubt.

INCORPORATION CARRIES.

SkagWay is today the only city in Alaska. Juneau may become one before the day is over, but Skagwav will remain forever the first city of Alaska. Such is the satisfactory result of yesterdays ballot ing, and the DAILY ALASKAN, extends its congratulations to the progressive people who have again demonstrated their capac- ity to intelllgentlv govern themselves
 From today new era in the history of our city commenced. We stand before the people of the country city in fact. No longer will we claim the title only by courtesy. The final step has been taken in establishing the fact that this is not a transient camp, the result of shifting con dtions. but permanent city, one that has come forth to remain and furnish home for many thousands thriving American citizens.
 Our citizens are also to- be congratulated apon the fact that from this time forth the fire department and other branches of the city government will be based upon legal authority. Ordinances passed by the city council will now be law and will not de- pend for their enforcement entirely upon the good nature and patriotism of the in dlvidual citizen.
 The DAILY ALASKAN is especially grat- fled in the splendid result of the incorpo- ration election and proud of the part it has taken in the campaign,

"DARE TO BE A DANIEL. +"
A Sweetheart's A,;mopStiOn Saves n
Young Man in the Hour OF Sore
Temptation.

The son of president of one of our
oldest and most prominent eastern
colleges was about leaving his native
town for Paris to enter upon a spe-
cial course in surgery. He had just
attained his majority, and the sim
plicity and freshness of his boyhood
sill lay upon his soul. Many of his
comrades had gathered at the depot
10 wish him bon voyage, among whom
was his sweetheart. The last good
bys had been uttered when, obeying
an impulse, she sprang to his side
upon the platform, and bidding him
hold his ear to her lips, whispered:
Charley, dare to be a Daniel"
Only that old saw" said he, while
look of disappointment Swallowed
his face.
! THAT only, Charley, but it may
mean much to you" was her answer.
The bearer of letter of introduce
ton to 4 distinguished nobleman and

lean was soon received with marked

were present some of the savants of
the great city. Unaccustomed to the
table etiquette of the cultured Paris
ians, and ''the cynosure of all eyes"
when seated at the right hand of his
host, Charles was mentally disturbed.
He soon noticed that before each plate
were grouped four wine glasses, the
colors OF which were respectively,
ruby, purple, pale amber and white.
In various decanters were wines of a
corresponding hue, of which each
guest indicated to the waiter his or
her choice by simply touching a glass.
The white ones, alone, and those be-
fore Charles were left undisturbed.
During the progress of the feast the
host, filling his ruby tinted glass Gan
example which his guests followed),
proposed toast, ITO the wives,
daughters and sweethearts of Amer
ica," to which he invited response
from his youthful guest, motioning a
servant meanwhile to fill his glass
with the red wine.
What followed can best be told in
the young mans own words: Moth
