The enterprise netted the ladies the handsome sum of S25o, $Ioo of which will be expende in electric light fixtures, and the remainder to add beauty and com fort to this splendid hall.
 The number of children sIho were brought into the presentation of the Fairy Queens Court was one of the notable fea- lures. It seemed as if all the children in town were arraved in fancy costumes. The maids of honor to the fairy queen (tlazel Allen) were her little sister and kathrine Brackett; pages, pretty Reyner Christensen and Edon Busbv; brownies. Tommy Luke and Earl Parkerson. But all of Miss Edna SengfeIder's kindergarten scholars had parts in if also, and there were many small men and who disin- guished themselves in other ways. Not able among these was the lad Beveridge, who certainly, in his songs, showed a mastery of one of the most beautiful child voices ever heard; and Mr. Busby's eldest son, who is more of an actor than singer, and gave military song and march that was much appIauded.
 Of the artstiealIv decorated booths, Mrs. Shorthill's and Mrs. Smith had that of fancy articles; Mrs. Heacock and Mrs, Warner. miscellaneous articles; Mrs pr. Moore and Mrs. Shoemake, ice cream; Mrs Mcclellan, lemonade; Mrs. Gwin and Mrs. Sprague. assisted by Misses Blanche Sher- py and Esther Hall, who appeared in Mex ioan costume, candy; Mrs. Patterson and Miss SehlLrede, Japanese, and the latter was what the boys call simply stunning" in her Japanese kmono. The dinner given each day of the entertainment was pre- pared by Mrs. Sherpv, Mrs. Luke and Mrs. Royal, and right good dinners they gave.
 The ladies of the Methodist church de- sire to tender thanks to all those who took part, and also those who made donations. sAs |
 It was quite an ordinary sight to see the afternoon train come in all whitened with snow. The train on Thursday morning was the first one to leave here whitened over. And It was not a midsummer snow that whitened it, but sudden shower of marriage rice, Mr. Settlement and his bride were on the train, with the idea of quietly escaping for brief honey moon to the interior But MT. Settlement is too well known and highly esteemed in this city, us is also tine charming young woman he has selected for his life mate, for any such secrecy to be maintained. The couple was not only showered with rice, but with flowers and bonbons and all sorts of evidences of kindly intention. MT. Settlement is expected to return to his duties on the DAILY ALASKAN on Mon day, and Mrs. Settlement will be at home in their residence opposite the Klondke Trading Company after July IS.

Only Two Remain.

The troubles between Governor Brady and his Alaska constituency grow out of radical differences of opinion as to what is best for the territory. /Their diverse views are founded on the irreconcilable con tlct between the old Presbvterian mission aries and the large new population that has invaded the northern country and in tends to control its affairs. Brady is minister, the friend of Sheldon Jackson, a long time Alaska resident, and steadfast partisan of the church. For the most part the people of the territory are strongly op- posed to Jackson, and discredt his educa- tiona methods and missionary work. They think that the time has come when civil government should cease to be a mere appendage to church government. It has ceased. except that Brady and Jackson are survivors of the old church regime.

SKAGNAY BREWERY
 RECEIVES TODAY Matlock & Smith Have h. vited Everybody. DESERVES PATRONAGE
Enterprising Company Doing Much To Advance Skagway and Should Receive Like Treatment Only Ask It On Merit.

The people of Skagway are invited to become the guests of Messrs. Matlook X Smith this afternoon to sample the first product of their Skagway brewery. From to there will be served, with the com pliment of the proprietors, to the guests pure, sparkling lager beer.
 The treat will certainly be appreciated, as no brewery in the United States turns out better quality of this popular bever- age than the Skagway brewery. It is clear, amber in color, and has the most de> lghttul sharp taste. In fact, it is perfect peer.
 "Whv shouidn't it be perfect p said MT. Smith. "We have purchased the very first grade of material in all the de parlments of our brewery. Our plant Is perfect. From the depth of s feet we pump up. water absolutely pure and cold. the temperature being 37 degrees. We em' ulov only the highest priced skilled labor, Our men are all experts. Now, with a perfect plant, the best malt and other ma terial, and expert workmen, why can't we make as good beer as anyone ?''
 This institution should receive all the encouragement possible at the hands of the people of this city. It is the most sub stantal producing industry in the city. It is owned by Skag Havans. and it makes beer not excelled any place in the country.
 Messrs MatIock X Smith should be shown that our people appreciate the fact that thev have invested S4o,ooo in their town, It behooves the retail dealers to patronize local industry, because the money is kept in the town. Especially is this the case when the beer is first quality.

w. L. Metealf and C. E. Hooker walked into the Commissarv yesterday and tossed over to Secretary Mcdonald of the Fourth of July committee big wad of bills they had collected from citizens for the demon stratlon, with SIoo bill very ostensbly displayed on the outside of it. It looked like whole lot of money, and it did foot up fairly considerable. considering the many subscription lists that have been going around recently.
 The sports committee have divided up this sum in liberal prizes for the Fourth, and the program comprises every form of sport from the great game of base ball to | the hop, skip, jump. It is belved that the horse racing, which City Engineer !, Diers has in charge, will be an important | feature.

' HAT is rarer than a day in June :?
 asks an inconSequential poet, H and another poet writes that

We never miss the water till the well goes dry." Certainly the June days of the past week are days to be remembered. Bright sunshine, cool sea breeze, and a day that lasts all day and all night, practically speaking. What is the society that needs artificial light to give a meretricous glitter to do under the circumstances That of Skagwav showed common sense, There was not a dance given during the whole week.
 But there were many little social gath erngs, more than are here chronicled, on the wide porches of the new residences, served. to sweet music from the darkened room behind. As society events of the week the Methodist function at McCabe college, lasting two days, ranks first and perhaps after that comes the charming picnic of the Camera Club to Black lake. Then there was notable wedding and other events. For this week the principal event will undoubtedly be the ball of the fire companies in Firemen's hall on the eve of the glorious Fourth. That is sure to be success.
 The success attending the two days en- tertainment and bazaar given by the La dies'and Pastors Union of the ME. churh fainy surprised the ladies themselves. For some weeks the ladies had been very busy perfecting plans for the entertainment and sale of work, and the result was most gratifying Under the direction of the ladies in charge, six unique booths were erected. In these booths were found almost everything to please the taste of the many who visited them.
 Each evening from 5 to 7 the ladies served a supper which was pronounced excellent by those who partook of it,
 Wednesday evening crowded house were most pleasantly entertained by the highest and best talent in the city.
 Thursday Afternoons entertainment was the peasantest surprise of all. At } o'clock the sweet strains of march float ed in upon the ear. The crowded house became hushed and expectant. eyes were turned towards the door where the fairy queen glided in, followed bv her attendants and court. Hazel Allen, attred in the most fairv-like dress, acted her part to per lection. Her singing was very sweet and her motions were most graceful. So pleased were the afternoon witnesses of the Fairy Queens Court that they requested that 1t should be repeated in the evening.
 In the evening, after the fairies had en. tertaiued the people, the Hub Quartet charmed the audience with their singing and were encored at least a half dozen times.

KEYsER, W. Va. May 19.-Great
achievements and wonderful develop
ments are often the results of matters of
small moment, and the tide of affairs, as
well as of developments, is often turned
by obstacles that to Impractical ewes
seem unsurmountable. The opening ND
and growth of the counties of Tucker.
Randolph, Grant and others, and the
present penetration of the West Virginia
Central railroad into the virgin forests
and undeveloped fields of iron and coal
in the southern part of the State might
nave been stopped once for a long time.
If not forever, had it not been for the
persistent efforts and determination of
one man.
Speaking of the survey of the West Vir-
ginia Central railroad, a few days ago,
Capt. W. P. Smith, of Elkins, VINO was a
member OF the cor:s, said to your cores
pendent, that for a time it seemed that
no practical way through the mountains
into the Cheat River Valley would be
found. The corps, of which James Par
sons, of Romney, who since died at Cum
berland, was the chief engineer. first at
tempted to find a route up the North
"a StN 4 OApilldC river, nut ran mo
Fairfax mountain, through which a TIM
mel four miles long would nave had to
be made in order to find an outlet. Had
this route been undertaken the road could
have been made to come out at either
Thomas or Glover run, in Tucker county.
Finding the North Branch route imprac-
ticable, a survey was made up the south
tributary of the North Branch to Beaver
mountain, which would have required a
~ mile tunnel, ending at Davis.
Finally. finding that the only practical
way would be to locate some route over
or around the INT the idea Of the
wonderful horseshoe curve at Wilsonia
was conceived by Mr.. Parsons, and the
corps went to work locating the road
around the mountain side forming the
Wilsonia curve, which is one and one-half
miles in length, and tracks are so near
together in the neck of the curve that an
expert can throw a stone from one track
to the other.
Several months were spent before a sat
isfactory survey was completed, the first
preliminary alone consuming thirty days.
Capt. Smith states that Mr.. Parsons often
climbed to the top of the tall spruce trees
which abound in that section, to look his
way out.
The work and worry which railroad
building require is not half appreciated
by the people who enjoy most extensively
the benefits derived therefrom. Had Mr..
Parsons and his competent corps of as
sistants failed to find a suitable route.
the iourishing towns of Thomas, Davis,
Parsons, Elkins and many other busy
places. where thousands of people find
pleasant homes and comfortable living.
might for many years at least. not have
existed. Pioneers. in any cause. deserve
the gratitude of those who follow after
them.

night with the greatest qualification
and thankfulness the news of the re-
lief of Mafeking after a heroic de-
Badel Powell and troops under his
command"
The Significance of This,
which refers to the receipt by Her
Majesty of a copy of the Associated
Press Pretoria dispatch, is that it is
the first official intimation OF the relief
of Mafeking and it would not have
been made had any doubts existed in
the official mind as to the correctness
of the news.
Meanwhile the usual Saturday
nights silence covers the seat of war.
A Cape Town despatch under to-
days date says the relief force enter
ed Mafeking unopposed, the siege
having been already raised.
The latest news received at Cape
Town from the relief column, which
left Kimberly secretly, shows it passed
