GOOD DEEDS OF
THE PAST YEAR.
THROUGH WOMAN's KINDNESS THE
HEAVY LOAD OF SAD OLD
EARTH HAS BEEN
LIGHTENED,

Those who imagine that this IS not
! phlanthrepic age and that persons OF
! wealth can find no greater delight than
| in adding to the extent of their fortune Will
J find an almost unanswerable argument IN
! the record of womens notable gifts for the
! public good during the year 1888. III TINS
| list should be made to include the men VINO
| have given millions for charitable or ed
| ueational purposes 1t would be greatly in
| creased, but as many of these acts have
already been made public, while the great
| err number of the gifts by women nave
passed unheralded, a record of the latter
| charities is more interesting.
Although unquestionably there have
been many gifts OF which the world has
| never heard, the amount of money That
| has been known to have been given by
women during the past year is certainly
not less than $16,O0O,OoO. OF this the lar
gest single sum was the s10,000,0O0 given by
| Mrs Leland Stanford for educational pr
poses. The amount that Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst has given for similar purpose is
| not known, but it is certainly very large
and she is adding to 1t every year.
| Mrs. Cora ]. Flood, who gave, last year.
her fathers country place ut Memo lark
| to the University of California, has sup
| plemented it with a sum of money suffi-
| Gent to keep her previous gift in order.
Another California woman who has been
munificent in her gifts during 1899 is Mrs.
E. B. Croker, who has conveyed to the Or
| der of Elks her home in Sacramento as
memorial of her husband The value OF
the gift is $4,000.
During the past year Mrs. Lydia Brad
ley has given more than half a million dol
lars for the benefit of Peoria, III. In 1897
she presented the city with 1877 acres OF
land to be used as a park. She also built
a church, a home for aged women and
! contributed to several other charities. In
the summer of 1899 she presented the
Bradley Polytechnic Institute with $780,
900.
Mrs. BIaine's Gift.
Another woman who has contributed
not less than 100000 for educational pur-
poses is Mrs Emmons Blaine of Chicago
For some time she has had in mind the
founding of college of pedagogy at which
poor girls might obtain the instructions
necessary to fit them to become teachers
During the past year the work upon the
new institution was started and Mrs
Blaine's gift and endowments will be not
less than half a million dollars.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The old soldiers of the Civil War who reside in Juneau and vicinity are now making arrangements for proper ob- servance of Memorial Day on May 3O. There will be a procession, to which the public is invited to join, to and from the cemetery where the graves of departed friends will be strewn with flowers. We must all die sometime and it is but duty that the living owe to the dead to see that their graves are kept green, for once year at least. The Rev C.. M Irwin, who is veter. an of the war, and a former resident of Walla Walla, Wash, has been selected to deliver the oration The following named comrades of the G. A. R., who are arranging for that day, are: Silas Gibson, J. r. Martin, T. J. McCully, Geo. P. Healy, G. M. Irwin, J. J. Cal hume, AIois Meier, Geo. Shannon.

THAT CONVENTION.

The Republican Territorial Conven- tion concluded its labors last Wednes- day and passed into history; not very much history, nor very good history, however. Not that this convention did not number among it's members some good and true men who have the best interest of Alaska at heart. No, not that. But because a large part of the work of this convention savers too much ofmalice and spite and envy.
 Anti-Bradyism was the war cry that was carried into the caucuses, and into the convention, by an element who were relentless in the extreme, and egotisti- cal in their attitude, so much so that they sacrificed one of the best and brainiest men that Alaska or the repub- ican party ever had, on the altar of their ire: man who stands to-day the peer of any lawyer in Alaska, acknowl- edged by all to be perfectly honest and trustworthy; who, in spite of the taunts and gibes of the opposition, has the trust and confidence of all who know him.
 The Republican Territorial Conven, tion has done this thing because they listened to the voice of delegate who only received a single vote in his own precinct, and gained admission to the convention by the aid of proxy.
 It will always be recalled with sorrow that the republican party of Alaska turned down a staunch and worthy sup porter to satisfy the vengeful spirit of this importation from the ranks of English aristocracy, whose only claim of prestige is founded upon an ever wagging tongue.

WE ALL KNOW THEM.

The following from a friend in Seat tie, Wash, will be of interest to our readers:
 Perhaps it would be interesting to know something of the movements of Rev. L. l.. Wirt who was instrumental in establishing the Congregational church of Douglas. MT. Wirt is out from Nome in the interest of St. Bern ard hospital of that place, and the con- tract for material and labor has been placed for an addition to the hospital, a church, reading rooms, etc, and prep aration is being made to take care of those who may become sick in the great rush which is now setting toward that land. Mir. Wirt is now in the east and is expected here the last of June Mir. 1. A. Boynton, of Berkeley, Cal, who you will remember built the church at Douglas, will leave here on the 2Oth inst. to superintend the work. MT. B. will be accompanied by his son Fred, who is also Douglasite, and his two daughters, besides force of work men.
 The Misses Boynton are the guests of Mrs. Landsburg during their stay in Seattle.

WILL SERVE QUIT HIS TERM.

J. W. Ivey, collector of Customs for the district of Alaska, has withdrawn his resignation. He arrived in Seattle on the l4th inst. and is enroute to Alaska, where he will serve out his full term.
 "When 1 went to Seattle several months ago I resigned my position as collector of customs for the district of Alaska he said in an interview. My object in doing so was that might go to Cape Nome and engage in private business. waited long time for the department to relieve me, but there was some difficulty in deciding who my successor should be, so I concluded to withdraw my resignation, which have done and am now on my way home to Sitka to serve out the balance of my term"

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Pursuant to call the citizens of Douglas met last Friday evening at the court room for the purpose of organiz- ing a Chamber of Commerce. Mir. A. Murray was elected chairman of the meeting and F. W. Hoyt secretary.
 On motion of Chas. A. Hopp it was decided that an organization be formed to be known as the Douglas Island Chamber of Commerce.
 On motion of Dr. W. L. Harrison a resolution was unanimously passed in- viting all residents of the Island to be present at the next meeting, to be held on the evening of Friday, May 25th, at 8:3O o'clock.
 On motion, a committee of three was appointed to draft bylaws and consti- tuition for the Chamber and submit the same to the next meeting for approval. The chair appointed Dr. w. L. Harri- son, Dr. Woods and Chas. 4. Hopp as such committee.
 Then followed a general discussion by those present of the many things to be accomplished by the organization. Some of the remarks showed that the matter had been given much thought. MT. Boyd, for instance. said that he hoped no one would think that it was the object of the organization to at tempt the impossible, but that if i'm mediate action was taken in bringing to pass those things that were needed the most, much good might be accom- phshed. He said that the streets, sew CTS, school house location and fire de- partment would come in the class of necessities. suggested. Judge Bach thought the organization was needed and would find plenty to do.
 Postmaster Stubbins said that the mail service might be improved by the aid of the association.
 Charlie Wortman was in favor of making all criminals serve in the ca pacity of chain gang and said if he were found guilty be would willingly take his turn.
 Martin Olsen objected to the plan as outlined by Mir, Wortman, but made second speech that was enjoyed by all.
 Mir. Murray was heartily in favor of the organization and expressed his be- lief in the good to be brought about.
Douglas Island news., 1900-05-23

MT. Henson said that the great secret of the universe was in cooperation and he was heartily in sympathy with the cause.
 The meeting passed off pleasantly and tremendously and adjourned to meet again Friday, May 25th, in the court room, which was kindly offered by Judge Bach.

TT PAYS.

The far reaching influence of an lad" in a newspaper of wide circulation is perhaps not appreciated at times as much as it should be. Yet consistent and persistent advertising has made a fortune for many business man.
 The Douglas News Depot has been selling playing cards, each card bearing a picture of an Alaska scene. Some weeks ago a local announcing the fact was inserted in the News. A few days ago Mir. Hubbard handed us the follow ing letter, which he had just received:
 OPHIR, Co.,, May 6, 1900.
 DEAR SIR: How much are your 52 cards of Treadwell and Douglas Island, and oblige. MRS. ESD BARIL.
 P. S.-I saw them advertised in the Douglas Island News.
 We feel free to state that the entire absence of any decorations or even the display of single flag in the hall dur ing the Republican Convention, last week at Juneau, did not indicate any lack of patriotism on the part of the of that town or of the members of the party there assembled.

WHY ROBERTS IS QUIET.
Is Afraid to Leave the Orange Free
State at Present Time.


London, March 26.-The continued
absence Of aggressive movement on the
part of the British is best explained in
q dispatch from BlOemfontein dated
Sunday, March %, and published in the
second edition of the Times today. It
says:
THE conditions existing in the occu-
pied territory render imperative the
somewhat prolonged halt at BlOemfon-
tein. It is necessary that the effect OF
the proclamation should have time to
make itself felt.
1T is said the danger of annoyance to
the line of communication may be ap-
pretended unless the territory behind
the advancing forces is rendered abso-
lutelY secure. The accuracy of this
view is proved by the fact Of the enc
nly's breaking up into isolated groups
such as that which attacked the guard
officers Friday.
The adjustment Of financial and mu-
nicipal matters in the Free State is now
chiefly occupying the attention Of the
governor and his legal and financial adj
visers. The military regime is being
conducted with great SmOothnesS, but
recent Investigations show that eau
ton must be exercised in dealing with
persons apparently loyal"
This summary is probably an accu-
rate explanation Of the frequent ap-
pearance and disappearance of Beers
and insurgents upon which the reports
are so conflicting and which so puzzle
the British military critics.
General Methuen appears to be
awaiting transportation, and with Col
onel Plumer's forces on half rations
there now seems little likelihood of the
immediate relief of Mafeking, though
