Doctor took for his subject the 28th verse of the 11th chapter of Matthew.
 Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and will give you rest"
 Did he preach? We'll, we should say he did. The discourse was worthy of bishop. Dr. Irwin proved himself to be clear headed, eloquent, forcible speaker. His use and flow of words is perfect, and at times his flights of elo- quence were simply grand. He uses no notes, and in all it was one of the finest sermons we ever heard. There are two ways of influencing men toward christianity-to preach and sing it into them. pr. Irwin and the choir at the Methodist service last Sun day made the best combination in that line we have heard for long time
 At half past ' in the evening we en- tered the doors of the Congregational church. We were among the first to arrive at the house of worship. A good sized audience greeted the pastor Rev. H. Hammond Cole. The walk leading to the church from the city was insuch an awful bad condition that the attend ance was not so large as common.
 The absentees were more noticeable in the choir, however, than in the con- orecation. Even Deacon Hoyt's chair was vacant.
 The subject of the speaker was taken from the 18th verse of the 17th Chap. of the Acts, and briefly said, on Stoicism. It was one of the series of sermons and was instructive and in- teresting. One thing can truthfully be said of pastor Cole and that is he has not preached a poor sermon on Doug las Island and all his discourses show careful preparation and much labor.
 The Congregational church service is all business. After singing there is a short responsive service during which the congregation stands. This is fol- lowed by prayer, singing and sermon. After the sermon, singing and the con- gregation joins the pastor in the Lords prayer. The benediction is pronounc- ed while the congregation is seated
 This finished the personal attendance of the writer, but services were also held in the evening in the Friends Church, the pastor MT. Replogle preach ing, and at Odd Fellows hall by the Episcopalians MT. Gurr, Jr. reading the service. When it comes to church Douglas City is right in it; when it comes to preaching we are right in it, for we can furnish the best pulpit orators in Alaska, and for church build ings we are very well fixed.

Attention, Singers!

Mrs. Mcbride and Mrs. Hopp will organize a chorus choir to assist in the singing at Methodist services. All singers of the city are invited to join us. The first meeting will be held at the home of Mrs c. A. Hopp, on Second street, next Thursday evening. Books will be furnished. This will be an eX- cellent opportunity to improve one's talents, in the musical line, and we hope to organize with a goodly number of singers. This is a general invitation and we expect to make it a mutual benefit.

DEPARTMENT OF ALASKA.
Seattle Wants It's Headquarters Located In That City. A Cheeky Demand.

The Seattle Daily Times of recent date states that the matter of the loca- tion of the headquarters of the military department of Alaska came before that august body, the Chamber of Com merce, short time ago, and on the suggestion of President Graves, was re- ferred to the committee on state and national affairs to draft suitable me- moriaI and resolutions.
 The commander of this department, if reports be true, is already ordered to either St. Michael or Cape Nome and unquestionably the headquarters will and should be, somewhere in the dis trict. We are surprised at the audacity of this demand. Seattle evidently wants the earth. If such demand came from Mayor Humes, J. w. Clise Maj. Rinehart, Judge Burke, yes, or Comptroller Parry, we wouldn't be SC much surprised, but coming from Pres. ident Graves, the incest man in Seattle generous, liberal minded, charitable considerate Mr. Graves, who keeps the commandments and is really friend tc Alaska, why it paraIyzes us. Take the capital, Sitka, our trade, our gold, but for heaven's sake leave us our military department.

Wrestling Match.

On Saturday evening on Douglas Island February 3rd, there will be a wrestling match between Jack COnnors, ex-champion middleweight wrestler of the world, and John Randolph, cham pion middleweight wrestler of New York State. The match is for S25O.0O a side. Catch-as -catch-can style.
 The terms are that Connors is to throw Randolph three times within the limit of one hour. The reputation of these two men is so well known that it is hardly necessary to say anything as to their ability, still, for the benefit of those who are not acquainted with these two wrestIers, we might mention that Jack Connors held the champion ship for six years and retired in 1890 from the arena, unbeaten.
 John Randolph has met all corners in his class in the state of New York, and only met defeat once when he stepped out of his own class.
 It may also be mentioned that this match has deen brewing for several months, as friends of both men have been anxious to get them together and finally succeeded in making this match to settle all questions.

THE NEWS MAN ATTENDS CHURCH.
Three Different Churches Yisited-Different Modes of Worship What the Writer Saw and Heard-Two Means of Getting Peo-

pie Into the Narrow Path.
 Attending church service is not an exceptional experience in our career, but not often do we consider it our duty to attend three services in one day, which was our experience last Sunday.
 Our first place of worship was at the Catholic church at 10 in the morning. The little church is altogether too small, and many could not find seats. The foundation has, however, been laid and the contract let for new church building which will be large and com modious. We were just little late. Its awful to go into church when ser vices are begun, but we paid dearly for it. for we stood up all the while we were in the room. Mrs. Ross presides at the organ and helps out with the singing and that means good music at that church. John Egan, his wife and Mrs. Howell are also members of the choir The Rev. Father Bougis preached an excellent sermon which was listened to with marked interest.
 There was much in the service, apart from the sermon, that we did not under stand, but we also found much to ad- mire, for the Catholic church is not one of changes, but follows it's forms of worship, as we understand it, for centuries. Especially did we notice that every Catholic worshipper at stated intervals got down onto his knees, uot once or twice, but fully a half dozen times. It reminded us of when we were boy, for in those days the good old Methodist church mem- bers got down on their marrow bones and prayed to, and worshipped their God, regardless of style or the creases in their trouser legs. We left this church feeling that we were the better for hearing a splendid sermon, fine singing, and witnessing earnest, de- voted worship by the church members.
 At3 in the afternoon we walked into the Friends church on Fourth street. A goodly number of people were pre- sent. and more came later on. The new pastor, the Rev. Dr. Irwin, of Port land, was to preach his first sermon. The Rev. Smith, M E. pastor at Ju- neau, the Misses Larsen, and Messrs. Claggett and Denny were over to give the new divine a send off. Everybody knew what these sweet singers could do and no one was disappointed in the music, but everybody wondered what the new preacher would say.
 Dr. Irwin is past middle age, D. D., and formerly state superintendent of public instruction of the State of Ore gon. He wears a G. A. R. button. He wears no whiskers or mustache. He at once impresses one that he is an edu- cated, polished gentleman. There are a great many Methodists on Douglas Island and many of them were present, and of course anxiety was plainly wis ible on their countenances. They all watched the new pastor who sat in a chair back of the pulpit, apparently un- concerned. After considerable sing ing, Dr. Irwin led off with prayer and that settled it. The look of anxiety on the faces of the good Methodist breth- ren and sisters at once changed to one of confidence and satisfaction. The

This crime of killing Negroes will

This crime of killing Negroes with
out law and by general consent origi'
mating in the South, has long ago
spread throughout the country. 1t has
happened in other Northern states, as
it has now happened in Colorado.
There is no race question in the Moth
or in the West, as there is in tho South,
vet there are no confn,s to the spirit,
risen in in recent years, that in ex'
treme casss puts the Negro outside the
protection IF the law. 1t is not many
years since the Negro was regarded as
the ward of the nation. But the spirit
that is back of law in all countries,
and particularly in this country, has
taken but few years to show that the
Negro was not to have the laws pro
lection.
