DEFENDS HE'D.

Marshal W. D. Grant, of Wrangel, was a passenger on the Cottage City bound for Sitka. He has just returned from attending the Republican Nation al convention at Philadelphia. MT. Grant says that the assertion that Mir. Held secured the appointment as ma. tional committeeman for Alaska by un- fair means is false. The resolutions and recommendations of the Juneau convention were presented, but Mir. Price was not considered eligible for committeeman because he was not present at the convention, and in the meeting held at that time it was desira- ble that Alaska be represented

GRAND OPENING.

The Douglas Opera House was thrown open for the inspection of visitors last Saturday evening. Mir. Gius, the pro- prietor, had given orders that every thing should be free to all corners and the house was crowded at an early hour with a very jolly crowd. Mir Gius is justly proud of his new quarters and we feel sure that the volume of business will be improved as well.

POISON MUSSEIS

George Cleveland and L. M. Atkins started from Douglas City on May 28th last, on a prospecting trip up in the Berners bay country. The 29th of June found them camped in the neighbor- hood of the same bed of poisoned mus sells that had proven so fatal to two men but a short time ago. Cleveland and Thomas Sherwood, who was with another party, ate of the, deadly mus sells. In two hours Cleveland was dead and Sherwood was suffering terribly. They were brought to Juneau and Sher- wood was taken to the hospital, where at last accounts he was gradually re- covering.
 George Cleveland was one of the old settlers on Douglas Island. He has been in this part of Alaska for so many years that his friends and ac- quaintances are surprised that he should fall a victim to this we'll known source of danger.
 He was man of powerful physique, yet of kind disposition. "If George Cleveland had dollar anyone might share it with him." is a remark that we have heard repeatedly.
 He was born in the state of Indiana, and was 37 years of age. His remains were buried Monday, July 2nd, at the Evergreen cemetery, Juneau.
 We heard yesterday for the first time that Delegate Price had been candi-

A SYMPATHETIC COURT.


 The trial of the Indians at Skagway for the murder of Bert Horton and wife has attracted wide spread interest and attention and the general opinion that they were guilty has been upheld by the testimony.
 "In sentencing the natives" says the Budget, Judge Brown displayed a ju- dicial tact aud fairness which stamps him as a iurist of high ability, and those present left the court room i'm pressed with the fact that Alaska is the gainer by the judges appoint ment
 "Each native, through Interpreter Edward Armstrong, was thoroughly in formed as to the case against him, and the official courtesy of the court eX- tended in the utmost detail.
 "When it came to sentencing Han son, both the court and Interpreter Armstrong were moved to tears, and Armstrong said afterwards he never again wanted to interpret a death sen tence. Hanson's case is peculiar. But for him, his confession and testimony, the crime might never have been known, and murderer though he is, self-confessed, his story has never wa vered from his first confession down to his testimony on trial, and in com menting on this the court recommend ed him to the mercy of the president, though the law imposed on him the du- ty of passing the death sentence.
 'The Indians were all dressed in holi- day attire, and to one unacquainted with the Alaskan native, the scene would have been puzzling. Great cred it is to be given local officials, Marshal Tanner and Judge Shelbrede, who SC cured the criminals, and to District At torney General Friedrich, who conduct ed an able prosecution, though it is to be regretted that several had to be re- leased in order to make a complete case against the ringleaders.
 "Again, defendants counsel, Messrs. Jennings & Crewes, are to be credited with most creditable legal fight which may almost be claSsed as a victory, but the result is one that natives will re- member and profit by.
 "Though Hanson is sentenced to death he has a most excellent chance of having his sentence commuted by the president of the United States. Brutal though he may have been, legal practice and his subsequent conduct was such that a life sentence may sup plant that of death.
 Natives are so accustomed to free dom that confinement of from 20 to 50 years is practically equivalent to life sentence, and it is seriously questioned if any of the convicted pass out from McNeilTs island prison doors alive"

~EvsRrsODY's MAGAZINE" FOR JUNE.

is full OF that sort of literature that is

articles in this magazine is shown at
it's best.
The ''Simple Explanation" of the
month is entitled "Electricitv and
Some Other puzzle" The author dis
claims at the outset ANY intention of
"explaining" what electricity is, for he
says no explanation has yet been
given. But he talks breezily along
about the latest theories i'm regard TO it
and when the reader finishes he will
have very good idea of what il is
thought to be, as well as a pretty clear
understanding of the hypothesis that
concern light. heat, gravItation and the
atomic and molecular construction of
matter.

UHwRITTENI LAWS.
[Atlanta Constitution. |

1t is to be regretted that in several
counties of this State colored census
enumeratOrs have been appointed,
when white Republicans could have
been found to fill these places.
Ii IS idle for those in authority, no
matter how strongly intIenched, they
may imagine themselves to shut their
eyes 10 the fact that between the races
in the South there is drawn lire which
neither government can erase. 1t is
unwritien law, but law as effective as if

white houses to question the women
there about any sort of business what
sOever In the face OF this pTejndice, II
Republicans so choose to call it, was
simply fatuOus to appoint negroes upon
a business which necessitates the call
ing upon members OF a family at home
and the asking of questions which are
not always too readily answered even
Tor white interrogaiOrs. There are
many ways in which a party in power
can repay its political debt. without
stirring up the feelings of the people
upon matters which are dear to them
aud which they are not willing to dis
cuss with those who think differently
from them.

who have been led into this mistake
will undo it and appoint men for this

Remarkable Progress in Education Of Col
ored Children Of Richmond.

1t was purely from sense of duty
and to be consistent with our doctrine
that the solution of the negro problem
de Ponds largely upon education and
accumulation OF property, and their
moral improvement, that we attended
the exhibition Ofthe Richmond Colored
School last week. The day was warm
aud the walk long and dusty, but once
inside the handsome, commodious
brick edifice for which the taxpayers
of Richmond paid about Sl2,OO0, we felt
rewarded for our trouble. The exhi-
bition was complete surprise, verit-
able revelation. 1t is not eXaggerating
the fact 10 say that no white school in
the county, excepting alone Madison
Female Institute, can make such an
educational exhibit. Here we have
in our midst, unknown to a large per
cent. of people, an institution for the
improvement of the race that has no
superior in the State. In support of this
seemingly extravagant boast, the Gil
MAX points TO the fact the Richmond
COlOred High School eXcelled all other
central Kentucky colored schools at
the Educational exhibit in Floral
Hall, Lexington, last year. as evidenced
by the following notice printed in the
Lexington Leader:

''The Richmond, KY, High School,
Prof. e. w. Reynolds, superintendent,
has one of the most artistic exhibits
seen among the schools, and has won
nine premiums and two certificates Of
merits. The water color paintings are
superb, both in effect and design, being
among the finest ever exhibited by a
colOred public school in this State.
Some of them would do credit to an ar
list. The figures painted are excellent
in execution aud color blending, not a
few being superior in form and general
effect. Their wall paper and frescoed
designs are very unique and pretty
and reflect credit alike upon school
and teachers. Upon the whole the ar
tistic element in this school is superior
to that of any colOred school upon ex-
hibitiOn. In map drawing one of their
specialties, they have certainly excelled,

hard to excel. Their pen and ink
sketches are very creditable. The color
work design of four colored papers and

tistic merit, and is used as stepping
stone to the more industrial features of
the exhibit, viz: The frescOe, wall
paper and original book cover designs.
The written work, including papers in
all the curriculum of common schools
and high schools, are neatly written,
excellent in form and work. showing
