was not until after six o'clock that both
sides rested. The morning session today
will be occupied by the arguments of coun.
sci and the delivery of the courts instruc-
tons to the Jury. The case Is being most
stubbornlv contested by both sides, and
there seems to be much bitterness among
the lltigants. The principal point invol-
we'd seems to be whether or not Herman

the firm of Frye, Bruhn < Company. The

Trip to the Summit.

The elegant steamship Queen arrived
yesterday morning Her arrival was re-
ceived as marking an epoth in the wear,
for she brought the first excurSonlsts of
1000, and opened the tourist season that IS
expected to see the introduction of thous-
ands of strangers to the awakening empire
of Alaska and the thriving port of Skag-
wav, and the consequent education OF the

five excursionlsts. Thew made the trip to
the summit and return during the dav on
a special train, getting back at AGO p. m.

scenery.
Seventy five passengers other than the
tourists came on the Queen TO Skagway,
and she had large number for other ports

brought to SkagWav. The ship sailed
from Seattle 10 p. m. the 9th; from Vic>

is the reproduction of convention of spin
sters. They gather with bird cages, cats,
sewing bags and other paraphernaia under
their arms, and then launch into dozen
questions of the day from matrimony to
expansion. Free silver is also discussed,
and scheme considered bv which each
member is to get car of silver free and to
use 1t to her own adornment so she may
catch man. Finally a schemer comes
along with remodeoscope. something
that takes away the wrinkles, the rotund

of years, and makes the old maid new.

tor and the convention Is success.
