BY Cable From Berlin, Nov. Z.

During yesterdays proceedings on the
second trial of the rich Berlin banker,
Sternberg, for an alleged crime against
morality, Polite Director Meerscheidt
Huellhem admitted he. had received a loan
OF 1000 marks upon his villa from Stern
berg, together with gifts of furniture and
other things for the villa.
He admitted that other loans had been
made him by the accused, but asserted that
all had been repaid.
These revelations have made a great SEN

At the Opera House.

The performance given by home tal- ent at the Opera House last Thursday evening was we'll attended and the en- tertainment was all right.
 The songs and recitation by Lulu Eckert were splendid and received much merited applause.
 The song by Thom and Prather was splendid. The recitation by Miss An. nie Mccormick, the "Bald Headed Man." was very funny.
 The song and dance by Bertram brought the house down and he came back at the business end of most noisy encore.
 Jennie Jordan and Philip Thom in a coon song and dance was probably the best thing on the program. Miss Jor- dan has passed the amateur state-she is fine actress anywhere you put her, but in coon character she beats all previous records. MT. Thom has plen- ty of dramatic ability, but his coon singing and acting seemed to catch everybody. "Mr. Johnsing Shut Dat Doah" brought out such hearty ap- plause that they were called back second time. The crowd tried to en- core them again, but the curtain went down.
 In all, the show was good. There was lots to laugh at and that is what theatre goers want.
 If MT. Thorn and his associates should conclude to give another show in town, we feel certain there would be a much larger attendance. A dance followed the entertainment which was enjoyed by all who remained.

JUDGE JOHN R. WYNN.

We are pleased to present our read CTS a cut of Judge John R. Vim, of Juneau.
 He was born in the state of Missouri on Oct. l, 1862, and is thirty years of age. He was educated at the Roanoke Academy, at Roanoke, Mis- souri. and chose teaching as his first profession and taught his first school when between eighteen and twenty years of age, but young men off type are not content in the old sleepy states and Judge Vim, like so many bright young men, went west and located in Dakota where he taught school for three years, but, during his leisure time, was employed reading law, part of which was in law office where he received much practical education. At twenty-three he was admitted to the bar and followed that profession for two years in that country.
 His next move was to Washington, where he entered the law firm of Ron aid & Piles and started branch office at Snohomish. While engaged in prac- tice at this place he was elected to the Superior Court bench in the district composed of Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties, on democratic ticket and ran 2,OOO ahead of the other candidates. In fact, he was the only democrat elected in the three counties, for democracy was very much below par in that district, as livery properly should have been. The district was changed and he was reelected for Whatcom and San Juan counties and at the close of this term he had been seven years oil the bench, which was one of honor to himself and satisfaction to the people that elected him.
 In 1897 Judge Vim came to Alaska and entered upon the practice of law and he at once took his proper place in the profession, which is the very front rank. He is attorney for a number of corporations, including the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, ard the Pacific Steam Whaling Go. His sue cess in the practice has been excep- tional while in Alaska, and, no doubt, he enjoys the best paying practice in the district.
 Judge Vim is a most genial, social gentleman. He is never too busy to speak pleasant word with all he meets. He is hard worker, the same as all good lawyers, and his phenome-

A School of Herring.

Aswe were coming from Juneau last Sunday afternoon, just before the boat landed at the Douglas wharf we struck school of herring. They ap- peared to be down about four feet be- low the surface and so close together that they appeared solid mass. One could not look through the body of fish. It was our first good view of school of herring and it was to us sim ply wonderful.

Herring Fishing.

The indians are great herring fisher men, and this is the way they do it. They take pole ten or twelve feet long round at one end and flat at the other and at the latter from two to three in- ches wide. On one of the edges of the flat side they drive in some nails about two inches apart. These nails are sharp ened and protrude about one and one- half inches and that completes the fish ing outfit. One does the padding and the fisherman is in the bow of the boat, and at every sweep of the long pole, up comes from one to dozen fish, which be knocks off into the boat and repeats, the operation.

NEW ALASKA LAND OFFICES.
St. Michael and Rampant Each to Have One
 Juneau May Also be Favored.


 Seattle P-I.
 The government has decided on the establishment of United States land office at St. Michael, one at Rampant and probably a third at Juneau. This important change in the federal affairs of Alaska was announced yesterday by Frank Grygla special agent of the land department MT. Grygla has ar- rived in Seattle from the national cap ital en route to Alaska where he has been employed as government agent for nineteen months.
 The establishment of the St. Michael office will be brought about through 8 transfer of the office at Weare to the former point. The office now at Circle City is to be moved to Rampant. A further change contemplated is the re. moval of the Sitka land office to Ju neau. If this is not done the probabil- ities are that a new office will be estab Iished at Juneau during the coming summer. Strong pressure is coming from the citizens not only of Juneau, but of many Southeastern Alaska towns, to have the land office taken from the capital.
 The changes as regards Circle City and Weare were ordered after a recent conference between the commissioner of the general land office, the surveyor general and Special Agent Grygla.
 The people of Cape Nome have been particularly urgent in their claims for land office either at that point or at St. Michael. The Rampant people asked with equal earnestness that the Circle City office be moved farther down the river, claiming that it worked too great hardship on them to have to travel up the river so far in order to attend to land office matters.
 Mir. Grygla believes the senate bill which pertains to Alaska will become a law. He says it provides for the divis ion of Alaska into three judicial dis tricts. It is his opinion that the court of the first district will sit at Juneau.
 q have no interest in the matter" he said, "but Juneau to my notion is the best place for one of the courts. Sitka is as everybody knows too inaccessible,
 "The bill which I think is going to become a law provides that the judges shall receive a salary of 86,OOO instead of s3,5OO, the present salary of the dis trict judge for all of Alaska. The gov ernor's salary is raised from 53,000 to S4,OOO a year.
 "As to a change of the coast head quarters, that is strongly demanded by the people of Lynn Canal and all Southeastern Alaska. The govern ment has already appropriated S45,OOO for a United States courthouse and jail at Juneau and the coming summer will witness the commencement of the work"
 Mir. Grygla's duties as special agent take him all over Alaska and will prob ably necessitate his going to Cape Nome next summer.

NonuNrcIPAL GOVERNMENT.
So Reports The Senate Committee.

The senate committee on territories last Friday was to report to the senate a bill establishing a civil government in the District of Alaska, which pro- vides a complete code of laws for the territory, and what it does not provide seems of more present and pressing importance to the citizens of Alaska than all that which it has taken so long to formulate. It is, in effect, revised Carter bill, upon which the committee devoted nearly the whole of the last session of congress and thus far of the present.
 The important points omitted from the bill, and which will prove so bitter disappointment to all Al askas citizens, are two. It does not al low the territory delegate in congress and it does not give the right to estab- fish municipal government in the territory. This would seem to indicate that the protest of Alaska's citizens against being represented by Gov. Brady arrived in Washington too late in this instance, and that the gov ernor's influence was, as usual, exerted against the wishes of the people and the best interests of Alaska.
 But there is still chance for the amendment of the bill and the addition of sections giving us the desired legis- lation particularly that of municipal rights, during its discussion in the sen ate, or when it goes to the house.
 The bill changes the capital from Sit ka to Juneau, and probably provides that all federal offices shall be moved from Sitka.
 It establishes the district courts with three Judges, marshals, clerks and district attorneys. The places of hold ing court will be Juneau, St. Michael. and Circle City
 It extends the power of the governor and of the United States commission CTS; creates a surveyor general, ex-ofti- cio secretary of the district instead of the clerk, and provides for ten United States commissioners, to be appointed by the president, with as many more commissioners, as may be needed throughout the district, to be appoint ed by the judges.
 It establishes an insane asylum, which experience has shown is much needed and provides ex-of1cio recorders in var ious sections. In some cases commis- sioners will act as recorders in others the clerks will act.
 A bill prepared by Delegate John G. Price will be introduced by Repre- sentative Jones, extending to Alaska United States laws relating to coal lands and public surveys.
