Miss Henton Shows What the Kiu-
 dergarten Is Doing.

Miss Olive Henton as yesterday show ing some of the work of her kindergarten school. and with great deal of pardonable pride, considering that her school Tn the Baptist church is not vet two months old. She has about dozen pupils. between the ages of } and wears, who match oolors, fold colored papers, learn elementary en- broiderv on card, and singing and ealis- thenios. For the older classes there is little easv reading and writing.
 The kindergarten is one of the finest ed> ueation systems for the young that has ever been invented. There is no drudg- cry about it and no taxing of the brain. Everything attempted isfor the purpose of interesting the chiid, and by gradual pro- cesses stimulating the development of mental power. The caisthenios develops the physical forces and give the little tots certain poise and grace of movement that is distinctive of kindergarten teaching.
 The samples shown yesterday were of woven paper mats and the stitching of outline designs on card. There was the easter rabbit, the familiar household cat, the horse and several umbrellas, the result being the outcome of a frainv day when many umbrellas were taken to school. Then there were samples of paper folding.
 in the shape of pigs, steamboats and so on, and, in fact, 1t was an exhibition of fancy work by tiny hands which would deeply interest any parent. !

Deputy Collector Andrews is exhibiting some fine photographs of snowbirds which he took on visit to the Summit few days ago. MT. Andrews is one of the most accomplished amateur photographers of the city. and has done splendid work in get ting the pictures of such small creatures as these birds. His pictures are so clear and distinct that the two shades of color in the coats of the birds are plainly distinguish able in the prints.
 slThe birds were so tame that MT. An drews approached to within few feet of his quarry and there photographed them. Snow was on the ground afforded a good contrast In color. The color of tn. coats of the birds. it appears, is changing with the season and now becoming brown, ifi harmony with the surrounding rocks. Birds owere seen in all stages of the trans> formation, some nearly wholly brown and come vet retaining. almost all their white.

PREPARE FOR TOURISTS

Mayor Hislop says there will be meeting of the city council on Monday evening, and that then steps will be taken to have a systematic cleaning mp of the streets and alleys of the city be- fore the advent of the summer tourists. The railroad expects to do very large business in summer travel this season. It has extensively advertised the mag niicent scenery of its road all over the United States and also in Europe, and the rich people of the east have only two propositions before them this sea- son, theone being the new land of gold, Alaska with all the romance of it's gla- ciers and snowclad peaks, interwoven with the hardships and adventures and the glamour of gold hunting; and the other is the Paris Exposition. Nearly all of them have been to Paris time and time again; few have visited Alaska; and as the tendency is to get away from the beaten track, to travel in lands com paratively little known and view the natural objects that have not become hackneyed by continual description, the chances are that the railroad will find it's enormous disbursement for ad- yertising Alaska a paying investment.
 But this is only one point that may be cited as an inducement to citizens to clean up the city. There are others that may be mentioned, though it is al- most unnecessary to do SO, for the req son that the growth Cf civic pride has already set in and improvements are going on all the time in this regard. New sidewalks have been put in, old sidewalks patched up and raised, ugly holes in the streets graded, and back yards cleaned up. There still rep ains much to be done, however, and if the city council hits upon some plan by which all may be induced to do their proper share in the improvement of the general appearance of the city, a great and good work will have been inaug urated

DRILL THE FIREMEN.

On these fine evenings it might be a good plan for the fire companies to have a drill once in a while, and a competitive drill between the two hose companies, as to which could arrive at given spot. couple and have its hose spouting, would be of general public interest.

Cables and Engines Receiv-

THE PLANT FOR SALE
Railroad is Storing 1t Up With the Hope That 1t Will Be Useful to Somebody Some Day--Story of Its Removal.

The great mass of cables and other ap- paratus that once formed the equipment of the famous Chikoot tramways, now lv- ing in an ignominious heap in the ware houses of the rival transportation com pany, the White Pass railroad, at the shops in the north end of this city, Is be- ing overhauled and untangled and given a preservative treatment. -.,
 F. A. Twlchell, foreman for the com pany, has crew of men doing the work. Coats of oil and tar are being given the cables and they are being wound on cons pact reels and stored away, so that should 1t be months before they are found useful they will not become rusty and unfit for service,
 Among the remains of the tramWav are several stationary engines. They are also being overhauIed and given preseryative composition coats. The company has no use for the old equipment, but hopes to some day sell it..
 MT. TwilchelI yesterday told in a some what dramatic manner several of the incl dents of the trying work of taking down the old trans, of (which during that busy season he had not much time:to talk.
 1.-The old site of the aerial tramwav," said MT. Twitchell yesterday, "ean no longer boast the least part of the once costly equipment that spanned its rocky chasms.
 "rhe cable was taken from the summit when the piercing winds of winter swept the bleak pass and the thermometer stood at 25 to 90 below zero. The work had to be done then in order to get the material out over the snow with sleds. It was trying on the men and they faced many hardsnips. The cold was bad enough in itself, but at times the men had to mount pillars that supported the cables Tn such a driving cold wind that prevailed that they could stay up only very few minutes. l have known a man to ascend the staging five or six times and do little work each I time that under ordinary circumstances he would have performed in fifteen continuous minutes.
 "One time four of the men went through the thrilling and unusual exper- fence of sliding 1000 feet on the crest oi an avalanche. They remained. on top of the avalanche, but went humping, pumping. head and heels mixing and rotating and gyratlng against one another a full fifth of Il mile. Then they came to halt with a jolt and In the same wild. fantantistlc scramble congratulated themselves on be. Ing alive. Oh yes, the fun was great, but the perpendicular on the hair of the men, told in language plainer than words that they were not laughing as they travelled"

HUNGRY FOR NEWS.

No boat for some time has been so ardently expected as was the Topeka yesterday. The date of the latest news paper received was May 4th, and this gave the information that the Carter bill had passed the senate We are anxious to know how it has fared in the house. It is expected, too, that the Topeka will bring some information about Judge Melville Brown, who was appointed successor to Judge Johnson, as to whether he is coming to hold court or not. The age limit was strick- en out of the Alaska civil bill, and as the bill passed the senate Judge Brown is entirely eligible for the position to which the president appointed him. But there is another hitch, perhaps. If the bill passes Judge Brown can only hold office until August l, and therefore. unless he obtains some assurance of re- appointment, he is not likely to come to Alaska. Under the bill all the pres- ent federal officers of Alaska will con clude their tenure of office on August l
 Then in the newspapers of the 4th there was decisive battle impending in the Transvaal; and there was the Utah mine disaster in where there is no telling how many lives were lost.
 The mails from Dawson are also de- layed. The last to reach here was on April 18th, and the one now on the way is eleven days late. But then We have telegraph to Dawson. and the Skag- way office is doing a large business in the dispatching of private messages

FIGHTING TERRY m'GovERN

a jury through his acquaintance with
human nature.
"As you trace the life of Lincoln in
his biographies" Mr.. Peck continued,
you will read little about him as a
lawyer. It is one great epic, but it is
nearly all devoted to his struggle with
poverty, his hatred of slavery, his con-
test for the mastery with stephen A.
Douglas, and the sad but glorious story
of the war, and the tragic ending which
gave him to the ages. Not much is
told of his legal practice or his legal
requirements. He was too great for
men to comprehend him when he
walked the streets of Springfield, greet
ing neighbor and friend after his
kindly honely fashion, or to fully know
him in the courtroom or on the cir
cult"
THE GREAT DELIvERER."
Mr.. Peck referred to some Of the more
famous cases in which Lincoln had
taken part-the Rock Island bridge
case, the McCormick-Manny patent
case, when Edwin NJ. Stanton treated
him with brutal rudeness, wherefore he
was afterwards avenged by making
Stanton secretary of war, and his sue
cessful defense of Jack Armstrong,
whose mother had befriended Lincoln
in his youth. His last case was tried
in Chicago month before his nominal
ton for president. He won the case.
Mr.. Peck concluded:
ends. and his career as a man of
world-enduring fame begins. We may
try as we please to think of him as a
lawyer, but always the image of the
great deliverer comes uppermoSt.
Surely it would be good for the pro-
fession if there were more like him.
When he was president he showed in
many a trying hour that he had not
forgotten his legal training, while per-
forming the solemn, the fearful duties
that rested upon him.
Through the dark years he went
steadily forward, clinging to the pre-
cepts of the constitution; clinging, as
lawyers do, to precedent, If precedent
could be found clinging to the ideal OF
a regular and orderly administration OF
justice and the affairs of government
Even the emancipation proclamation
was sent forth under the sanctions OF
laW-the law of war, and the law of
elf-defense. No one questions now
that it was strictly within his consti-
tutional powers, and all the nations OF
the earth admit that it was the wiseSti
bravest, and most humane edlct to
which any ruler ever set his pen.
LAS members of the legal profession
we have a right to feel a proud salts
faction in the thought that behind the
guns of Grant and Sherman and Far
ragut, the calm, deliberate judgment OF
a lawyer was meditating by day and
by night what he might do for the
cause. How bravely he kept the faith
the world will not forget.

JOE coRBETT TALKS FIGHT.
Thinks His Brother Will Stay the

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 16.-Joe Cor

tween his brother and Jeffries.
"Jeffries will put up a hard fight, "
said Joe this morning, but all he knows
he learned under Jim and 1 do not be-
lieve he win be able to knock Jim out.
L do not say that Jim will be able to
knock Jeffries out, but do believe he
will be able to hold the champion off
the 20 rounds limit
Jim says he wants to fight Jeffries,
win over him and then retire, but do
not believe he will leave the ring then.
Fitzsimmons probably will challenge
him and he doubtless will accept. As to
Sharkey, 1 do not believe Jim would
consider his challenge. The sailor Is
not a clean fighter and Jim would not
meet him.

Pray Tell was the first of the con-

rapid, but at no time exciting. He was
started at $1,000 and raised by thous-

the selling price, $1,000, was reached,
climbed by hundreds. When Robert
Bonner purchased Pray Tel he paid
