Invited Them Out.

Some time ago the "Ten Girl" com pany, of Chicago, flooded this part of Alaska with beauty pins in packages of one dozen. Anyone receiving one of these could retain them and send thirty cents to the "Ten Girls" or return them. A group picture of the "Ten Girls" was included in each package.
 A Douglas Island miner saw one of these packages and immediately con cluded that there must be some kind of a matrimonial scheme connected with it. He was excited and admired the girls in the picture. He enclosed the thirty cents, and this is what he wrote: "DEAR GIRLS:
 Enclosed please find the thirty cents for the pins from an Alaska bachelor miner You are nice girls. Come out here."

JUDGE OF ALASKA.
M. C. Brown of Laramie Nominated For The
 Position.

Washington, D. c. March 6.-(Special to The Republican, )-The president to- day nominated M. c. Brown ofLaramie Wyoming, to be United States judge for the district of Alaska.
 The news contained in the above dis patch will be received with mingled feelings by Judge Browns many friends throughout Wyoming. While they will congratulate him on his appointment to a position of honor, the fact that the duties of the high office will take him from the state, will act as damper on their enthusiasm.
 While the emoluments of the office are not great, the salary being only S3,OOO year, bill is now pending in congress to increase the amount to S6, GOO per annum. With this increase, if the proposition becomes law, the pos ition will be what might be considered good one, although the expenses of living in such an out-of the-way coun- try as Alaska are much greater than even in Wyoming.
 The duties of the office are quite on- erous, there being only one judge in the whole territory, and many complicated questions arise, owing to the peculiar conditions which obtain in that dis trict.
 As far as Mir. Browns qualifications for the position are concerned, there can be no question of the wisdom of the appointment. He was admitted to the bar at Laramie in May, 1868. where he has ever since resided. He was twice elected prosecuting attorney and was also United States district at- torney and filled term of four years in each of these positions. Judge Browns standing as an attorney is ad- mitted by the bench and bar and rec ognized by the people as being the peer of any member of his profession in the state. The practice of his profes- sion is by no means confined to the state of Wyoming In several impor- tant cases his services have been called for in several other states and Territor- ies, aside from his practice in every court in the state of Wyoming.

BACHELORS BALL
The Twentieth Century Bach eIors' Club of Douglas Is-
 land as Entertainers.
FUN---FAST AND FURIOUS.

! The readers of the News all know that Douglas Island has an organiza- tion known as the Twentieth Century Bachelors Club. However, the objects to be attained by the Club have never been made public. We have published from time to time brief accounts of their meetings, which because of their turbulent character, might lead one to suppose that the membership con sisted of old hardened fossils who cared nothing for society or companionship of the fair sex. This iLusion-for such it has surely proven to be-has been en- tirely dispelled, and with a single bound the Twentieth Century Rachel ors' Club, of Douglas Island, has sprung into prominence and stands in the fore front as an association of first class en- tertainers.
 The first of last week about 275 invi- tations were sent out to residents of the Island aud Juneau, the city across the channel. These invitations con- veyed the intellige nee that on the eve ming of Friday, March 16th, at Ohman's Hall, a ball would be given to which the recipiants were invited.
 Insome cities a society ball is always i stiff, formal affair, but such is never the case in Douglas. This is so well understood in the city across the chan nel that nearly fifty of Juneau's bon tons responded to the invitations and came over on the 9 o'clock ferryboat.
 The crowd at the hall did not gather early, and the musicians were the first on the scene. However, very shortly after 9 o'clock little knots of people began to come in and a hustle of eXpec- tation seemed to pervade the air which presaged much suppressed enthusiasm.
 The hall was nicely decorated with punches of evergreen. fancy colored in- candescent lamps-the prevailing col or being greenland Chinese lanterns bearing the beloved colors of our na. tion.
 The orchestra, composed of Profs. Miller, FuImer, and Fremont, began to tune up about 9:3O. By this time the dancers had gathered until the success of the affair was assured from numer- ical standpoint. Very soon Prof. Miller strengthened up in his chair, gave the word to his associates and the seductive strains of waltz filled the hall, played with that evenness of time and motion that lovers of the dance so greatly ap- preciate.
 Almost in the twinkling of an eye the floor was filled with gents and ladies, keeping perfect time with the exquisite music. Soon followed shottische and then quadrille.
 At ten o'clock the hall was almost uncomfortably filled, and at this time the floor directors announced the grand march. 48 couples led by Mir. Henry Hall and Miss Mabel Falconer joined. It was trlly most pleasant
Douglas Island news., 1900-03-21

sight, but the evoIutions were some
 what impeded by the smallness of the
 hall and the crowd of onlookers who were unable to find place in the line. A quadrille followed, and so on.
 A professional trick bicycle rider en- tertained the merry throng with an exhibition that was most remarkable.
 About 12 o'clock it was announced that supper was ready and it was at this especial time that some of the wall flowers got in their lest licks. There were number of invited guests who stood for hours and watched the pro gress of the dance, but never once ap- peared in the center of the floor; but we noticed that when the call came for supper these were the ones that went down stairs two steps at time, so eager were they toreach the good things that were being dealt out by the Guild ladies'
 Our eastern readers may have a mo- tion that these Alaska balls are tame affairs. If they have they are badly mistaken, for we will venture the as sertion that you will find larger per cent of good dancers in a Douglas ball room than any city of it's size in the east can boast of. Why, they all dance well and what is more they dance all kinds of dances, and with the most becoming grace.
 However, last Friday evening it was the quadriIle that aroused the liveliest enthusiasm. The expression on the faces of some of the dancers was almost solemn during the progress of a waltz; a two step livened them up little, but then came quadrilIe and you should have seen them. Prof. Miller was feel ing just right and how he did scrape that old fiddle! It seemed that every strain was played little faster than the one preceding it. And how it did please that crowd! We saw one old bachelor, whose shining head was as innocent of any pretensions of hair as could be, get so excited that he lifted his partner from the floor by the very velocity of his revolutions and swung her around three or four times before her little feet again rested on the waxed surface. Another whose altitude was such that it made him the observed of all observers, seemed suddenly to par take of all tbe elastic properties of a rubber ball. A small dignifed looking man caught the enthusiasm and it was not the time to swing" dashed across the figure and seizing lady joyfully, described such frantic circles that his astonished partner was for moment robbed of both her breath and her equilibrium. It was only when the music stopped that anything like order was restored.
 So the happy hours flew on until it came time for the guests from Juneau to depart. Mir. Maltby as spokesman, their thanks for the evenings entertainment in a neat manner. Stubbins replied on be- half of the Bachelors.
 After this dancing continued until St. Patrick's day had almost come in deed. Then the tired ones wended their way to their homes and quietness i safety and peace reigned. The "Bach- eIors" are justly proud of their ball, they have a right to be. They certain ly know how to entertain their guests in O nnoet boeDito bIa rnonnnr

Quartermaster Beddoe.

A variety of experiences is often sought by great writers and thinkers for the development of the brain. It may be for this reason that Mir. Beddoe has for the last month placed himself under the tutelage of Capt. Tibbetts of the Douglas-Juneau ferry line. What special service MT. Beddoe could possi
 bly, perform, even under the watchful eye of the good captain, is in itself a mystery. But MT. Beddoe is not man to let little thing like that stand in his way, and almost every calm day finds him, with look of bravery and determination on his face, standing at the wheel of the ferry boat, with his slim, taper fingers firmly gripped on the spokes and his eagle eye fixed on the smooth expanse of (crystal water. The experienced captain will give the order, "Port! port!" in low, quiet tone, and Mir. Beddoe will answer, "Port, sir" Then you will notice slight expansion of the muscles of his arms, the slim fingers will clasp still firmer on the wheel, and the thing is done. It is truly wonderful. The crew on the boat have applied the title "Quartermaster Beddoe." Why? It is still mystery.
