Waiting for the Cron

1t was the day after Thanksgiving
day.
A crowd of girls swayed and pressed
about an open door. The sidewalk was
filled with them, and every moment the
crowd grew larger. From time to time
they drew themselves up and tried to
peer through the shop windows. Occa,
sionally they pushed each other little,
and several times a slight shrek of pro
test arose from the crowded mass.
A man from out Of town halted on
the opposite side OF the street and
stared across at the girls.
"Sir,' he inquired Of a passer-by,
may ask what that mob means?"
"lou may" replied the passer-by.
-Yes said the stranger.
"Yes. That mob, as you designate

HOME AGAIN.

John G. Brady, governor of Alaska, was a passenger on the Cottage City for Sitka. He is looking hale and hearty and seems to enjoy being once more in the land of his choice.
 The governor is perhaps the best posted man in Alaska in regard to the conditions that prevail in different sec tions. He is a good conversationalist and what makes his remarks most in teresting is tue large fund of informa- tion that seems always to be at his tongues end.
 When asked what be had to say in re- gard to the statement that be was not a friend to Alaska, he said that it was ridiculous; that he had been resident of the district for many years and had invested here every dollar he had in the world. He said further, that it might be fact that he was dupe of Sheldon Jackson's, but he could say that he believed in the things that MT. Jackson did and thought they were right. He said that he had faith in the reindeer scheme and considered it a good investment. He said that if he had S1OO,O0O to invest he would pur- chase reindeer with every dollar of it. aThere is nothing that makes better garments for the northern attitudes than the skins of these animals" said MT. Brady. "The price at Nome has advanced from S1 to S1O each this year" In regard to the action of the republican convention at Juneau, he said he would not have felt worse if he

had been accused of horse stealing, When he was assured that that action was not endorsed by Alaskans general ly, he seemed to be much relieved. In speaking of the agricultural possibili- ties of this country the Governor is al most an enthusiast He cited the won derful results of numerous experiments made in different parts of the country, and compared the soil here with that in thickly settled countries in similar latitude in a manner that would con vince the most skeptical.

A SAFE INVESTMENT.

MT. o. c. Narvestad, representing the Washington National Building, Loan and Investment Association, is in Douglas organizing a local branch of said Association. Mir. Narvestad is go- ing to spend a couple of months on the Island in the interest of the Associa- tion. This Association is so we'll and favorably known that there is hardly any necessity of commenting on it.
 Incorporated under the strict laws of Washington in 1889, it has long since passed the experimental stage and sub mits to its prospective members the re- suits of actual facts. This Association appeals to both the capitalists and wage earners as a safe, profitable and convenient method of investing small sums in regular installments or larger amounts in one payment. This Asso- citation has paid out in the last two years over S3OO,OOO in matured stock, averaging 1O15 to Il per cent net profit for it's share holders, notwithstanding the hard times experienced from 1893 to 1897. The state of Washington is the guardian of all the securities held by the Association, and consequently it offers it's members a state protection which you cannot get in any other in- vestment. To the wage earners we would say, invest a few dollars each month, and in a few years you will have a nice little sum of money saved up, to which is added a good rate of profit.
 For further particulars, see Mir. Mar vestad, who will always be glad to ex- plain the features of the Association to you, whether you do any business with him or not.

o'clock.

Our enterprising and deservedly pop ular young merchant, c. A. Lindstrom, is now located in the Frank James building on the corner of Second and D streets. These new quarters are much larger than the old ones, which enables him to properly display his large stock of well selected goods.
 Mir. Lindstrom is special agent for the celebrated North Star line of shoes and has devoted one room of his store to the display of these goods. The stock is complete in every detail and comprises hundreds of pairs of shoes in the very latest styles and makes.
 Mir. Lindstrom also has one of the most complete stocks of clothing and gents furnishing goods ever brought to Alaska. He is a tailor by trade and takes special pride in keeping the best and most stylish garments onthe mark ct. His goods are always just as he represents them and his customers are always satisfied.
 The ladies will find in this store a fine line of dress goods and ladies fur nishing goods which is being continu- ally renewed.
 Mir. Lindstrom, the proprietor of this store, is always polite and obliging; ready to serve his customers in every way possible. He is one of the enthu- siastic business men who is doing his share in every effort to improve our city. His store on Second street is one of which Douglas may well be proud and receives a large share of the trade.

IN MEMORIAM.

Today the flags of the nation are at half mast in honor of those who, in their day of strength, carried the ban her of our country through shot and shell. in darkest strife, on to victory. This day has been set apart as Me morial Day, when trailing flags and untitled drums, when solemn tones and strewn flowers speak to the world of our sorrow. On this day the sad hearts of mothers who, with fearful eyes and throbbing breasts, yielded up their sons on the altar of the country they loved, are solaced by the loving sympathy and kind words of the friends who have not forgotten. And it is fitting and right that we should stop in the mad race of life to drop flower and tear on the graves of those who have given their most precious jewel that the stars and stripes might still wave; who have gone forth in health with a bright and fear less hope written on their faces, and returned broken and shattered to fill a soldiers grave. It is also proper that we should on this day mediate on the causes which are the source of this sorrowful effect. As we think of the homes made desolate, of the hearts wrung with anguish, we ask ourselves the question, "Why can not this cup of bitterness be dashed from our lips?" Yes, why should each succeeding decade bring a repetition of these terrible or deals? Why, in this age of advance ment and enlightenment, do nations still go forth with engines of death and hurI murderous missiles at their broth CTS? Why should the old customs of savagery still dominate at this the very dawn of the twentieth century? Is our boasted intelligence but the vain vaporings of a deceived people? Is our christianity, morality and education to count for naught? Will peace ever come? Must the blighted hopes of the mothers and wives and sisters of our land pass unnoticed, and succeeding years bring but a repetition of this sad ness? You who have. suffered, whose cheeks are wet with tears, remember in your grief that you are not alone; re- member that each wave that sweeps the ocean brings tidings to some home of deaths dire dealings. When you vaunt of the triumphs of the American arms, let the thought dwell in your minds of the sorrow that is brought, that such things-paltry in comparison-as com mercial interests might be sustained. Weigh. if you will, the lives of your loved ones in the balance with the greed for gain, with plunder and pelf. Let the Memorial day plant resolve in the hearts of the people that as we have profted by the bitter experience of the past, we will be guided in the future by the beautiful emblem of Gods first law of brotherly love, the white winged dove of peace.

PORTO RICANS WANT WORK.
Delegation Gets Prompt satisfaction
From Governor Hunt.

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. Aug. II
More than 100 laborers. with their wives
and children. reached this city yesterday
after two days of weary marching. with
out food. from san Lorenzo, II distance
of p miles. The procession, made UP of
all shades and conditions, led by a color
rd woman with an American flag and
rarryiug banners on which were inscrih-
rd the words Give Us Work." marched
quietly through the city 20 the executive
mansion, where halt was made.
The spokesman then called upon Civil
Governor Hunt and explained that the
object of the visit was to ask the govern
mcnt to open Il road between Caguas and
san Lorenzo. thus enabling the tailoring
classes Of the district 10 get a livelihood.
He pointed out that AT present there was
no work of any kind in that district and
that the people, who were wholly depend
cut upon their daily earnings, were with
out bread and suffering.
Mr. Hunt replied sympathetically and
promised that the government would do
all in its power to relieve the situation.
The delegation Immediately retired. well
pleased with the interview. and the pro-
cession left the city an hour after If had
entered and began the return journey.
OrderS were promptly lSSu'b loI N'iN
TO be begun on the road today and for
the employment of as many persons as
possible who might apply from the dis
trict The spokesman of the deputation
lad said that there was no expectation of
grntuitous government assistance, hut
merely a desire for work. Official investi
cation shows that the district in question
is very badly off and that no work of any
sort has been in operation there for some
time.
II is pointed ont that these conditions
are partially due to the old system of
government relief supplies, which had a
tendency to paupcrize the recipient and
to lead many TO believe that the govern
mcnt would indefinitely support the poor
in i1lpupsS
