Saw Him for the Last Time.
Then outside the house there was a
half hour of silence and waiting. With
I'm the house of death was woe un-
speakabIe. In the drawing room to
the right Of the hall the dead chieftain
aTas stretched upon his bier. His head
was to the rising sun. He was dressed
as lie always was in life. The black
frock coat was buttoned across the
breast He looked as millions of his
-countrymen have seen him. save for
one thing. The little badge of the
Loyal Legion. the only decoration he
ever wore, which was always In the
left lapel of his coat was miss -.
And those who remarked il spc,se OF
it. and after the body was taken to
tie city hall the little badge which he
priced through life was placed again
where it had always been.
The family had bid adieu to its dead
before the others arrived. Mrs. Nc
Ninley. the poor. grief-crushed widow.
had been led into the chamber her
physician. DIR. RiXey. and had sat
awhile alone with him who had sup
ported and comfortcd her through all
their years of welded life. But
though her support was gone she had
not broken down. Dry-eyed. she gaZed
upon him and fondled his face. She
did not seem to realize that he was
dead. Then she was led av
RiXey and took up her position at the
bead of the stairs. where she could
hear the services. Mrs. Hobart. the
widow of the vice president during Mr..
McKinley'S It term: Mr.. Lafayette
McWilIiams. of Chicago; Miss Barber,
Miss Mary Barber. and DIR. RiXey re-
mained with her there.
The friends and public associates of
the dead president all had opportunity

began. including the members of the
cabinet Senator Hanna. who had
fairly worshiped his dead friend for
years. entered the room. but did not
approach the casket. His face was
set like an iron-willed man who would
not let down the barriers of his grief.
The senator spoke to no one. His
eyes were vacant. He passed through
the thrOng and seated himself behind
Governor OdeIl. sinking far down into
his chair and resting his head upon his
hand. During all the service that fol-
lowed he did not stir.
Just before IL o'clock President
Roosevelt entered. Every one rose,
except Hanna: he was too over
wheImed with grief to know what was
going on. The president made his
way to his place. and a minute later
stepped forward to take a look at the
face of the dead. He bowed his head
and looked down upon the man whose
burden and responsibility he had taken
up. Long he Gazed. standing immOv-
able save for twitching of the mus
cles of the chin as he labOred. with
heavy breath. to repress his emotion.
At last lie stepped back.

The Cottage City.

The Seattle P-L of the Nth inst. says the steamer Cottage City, Capt. David Wallace, broke down at sea Oct. 14th while en route from Lynn canal to Se- attle, and is now being lowed to this port by the steamer Dirigo, Capt. Nc -Gregor. News of the mishap came by the steamer Dolphin, Capt. Hunter, which arrived yesterday from the north.
 Her officers report that the Cottage City broke her shaft at 10 o'clock on the morning of Oct 14 when about two miles north of the entrance to Queen Charlotte sound. Twelve hours later, the Dirigo picked her up at point about midway between Safety cove and Calvert point. Meanwhile the vessel had been drifting helplessly-
 The accident caused no commotion worthy of mention among the Cottage City's passengers, numbering more than 200. The sea was perfectly calm, and at no time was the vessel in any great danger.
 The Dirigo herself has about l50 pas sengers, and both vessels have heavy salmon cargoes.
 Just as the Dirigo got line on the Cottage City the Dolphin came up, but as her assistance was not needed, she proceeded on her way to Seattle. The Dirigo and Cottage City should reach port Thursday night or Friday morn ing.

Stirring Things.

Russell-E. C.-of the Juneau Dis patch, whose departure for the states IS regretted on neither side of Gasti- neaux Channel, takes occasion, in Mon days paper, to give Douglas one last knife-blow in the back. Commenting on the appointment of Judge Irwin as U. s. Commissioner at this place he says:
 "Rev. Irwin has been in Douglas all day, but it is generally conceded that this report is authentic. Now the ques- tion arises as to what will be the new Judges attitude towards the dance halls and gamblers of Douglas City. It is a known fact that Rev. Irwin has op- enly expressed his views on the sub ject, and now that he has been clothed with official authority, there is little doubt but what something will happen in Douglas"

The Hating Wrecked.

The c. P. R. Steamer Hating, sister ship to the Islander, ran on the rocks of Sabine channel during dense fog, on Saturday, Oct. 12th- She carried 175 passengers.
 The Hating cleared from Skagway Thursday night. She had good weather until Saturday morning, wben a bank of fog settled down on the ship On reaching Sabine Channel at 2 o'clock Captain Gosse and Pilot Gums were both on the bridge. Capt. Goose shap- ed bis course from Cape Nudge to Van couver direct. This would take him through Sabine Channel, passing Lat squi Island on the east side.
 The steamer, enveloped in dense fog, caught one of the treacherous cur rents abounding in that vicinity and was carried onto Thompson Islet off the south horn of Tucker Bay.
 Her bow is badly damaged and the sharp rocks are wedged into her hull. The greatest danger is that the Hating will slide back into deep water, as soundings show 1SO fathoms close to the islet. She has been braeed with hawsers to try and prevent this.
 From the last account thepassengers had scrambled down the side by lad da-s onto the island. where they spent the time shooting game and otherwise amusing themselves. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars in treasure was carried ashore.
 The Hating is steel twin screw; ton mage, gross 1894, net 7O5; classed 100 Al; built at New Castle in 1888; triple expansion engines, 2S7 horse power, 160 pounds pressure. She made fifteen knots on her trial trip. Her cost, in- clnaIng refitsfDg, was s2sS@o0

Memorial Services.

On last Sunday evening the Knights of Pythias of Juneau and Douglas, as- sembled at the Castle Hall, Juneau, to do honor to the memory of our depart ed president, William Mckinley who was a member of the order, in good standing.
 Chancellor Commander H. R. Shep- ard of the Douglas Lodge was in the chair, and the rest of the officers were supplied by the Juneau lodge.
 The services were solemn and inn pressive, and all that was said and done was calculated to impress the great ness of the respect for the noble Pyth- ian character of the brother, who gave up his very life in the service of his country.
 The address of the evening was 6eliv- cred by Rev. SeIleck. Music that was touching and tender was rendered by MT. Willis Nowell, Miss Held and a quartet of Pythian Bros. In closing, all joined in singing that grand old hymn, so loved by the departed brother, "Nearer, My God to Thee"

Wood do.

George Perry say that Editor Hopr injured Tex Zimmerman and himself when he stated in the News that they would give a pound party and each guest was exected to bring a pound oi coal. The quantity of fuel that could be thus obtained would be ridiculous ly small and insufficient for winter supply. They say that nothing less than cord of wood will be accepted Juneau Journal.
 Now go way chile, you'll spile the whole thing by being over anxious Lets make it good old fashioned pound party and lot the brethren and sisters bring in any thing they have that is appropriate for young gentle men to use. Some of the sisters might even bring in jar of soft soap, it would come in handy for the boys, or a bot tie of that kind of stuff that they give to babies that haven't much hair on their heads-9OO drops-35 cents. Such things come mighty handy to young house-keepers. If some kind hearted person would bring in cat, they ain't using, it would be handy to lick the plates. Don't limit the game.

Commissioners for Douglas

Judge L. R. Gillette resigned his po- sition, as U. s. Commissioner at Dong las, last Thursday, and pr. G. NJ. Irwin, who had been appointed commissioner at Skagway, was given his choice of Douglas or Skagway. He very wisely chose Douglas,
 The reason for MT. Gillette's resigna- nation is that his duties as court re- porter and private secretary for Judge Brown-to which position he has been recently appointed-will demand his exclusive attention
 Judge Irwin came over from Juneau early Monday morning to look up a court room and get the machinery of the law in motion.

Basket Social.

One of the most delightful affairs of the season was the entertainment at Ohman's Hall last Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the Ladies' AL tar Society of the Catholic church. / It was both social and financial success. Besides the immense crowd of Douglas people in attendance, many Juneauites were also in evidence.
 The net receipts were S190.
 The programme was pleasing from be- ginning to end and, judging from the frequent sounds of hearty applause, was we'll appreciated. It is almost i'm possible to discriminate, still we feel as if special mention should be made of the Fancy Dance by Alice King, Leno- ra Bach, Allie Bach and Cassie King. The little folks were "colored" and dressed like typical darkies. They went through all the difficult steps and lirtations of the cake walk with the ease and grace of experienced perform CTS, acquitting themselves with great credit, both to themselves and their instructor, Mrs. J. McVeigh.
 The concluding number was bright little farce, and although in the hands of amateurs, was presented in most creditable manner and was very enter taining.
 The basket auction was spirited and was one of the principal means of swell ing the receipts to such satisfactory proportions. Dancing fttingly ended this most enjoyable evening; in fact it was a. m. before the strains of the last waltz sounded the signal "Home, Sweet Home."

The opening day of Kaufman Bros.' removal sale was a record breaker in the amount of goods sold, and point of attendance. The store was literally jam med all afternoon, with eager purchas-
 CTS; though the service was excellent, considering the number of salespeople employed. The heavy strain, however,
 fell upon the delivery department. By actual count no fewer than FPS parcels
 were delivered to the homes and boats. Messrs. Kaufman Bros. expect to move into their new quarters, which is now being remodeled for them by large force of m echanics, on Saturday, Nov. 9th, on which date their sale will close.

FRED E. BACH FOR COLLECTOR.

May Be Appointed to Succeed Dr. william
ii. Cooper, Whose Term Has Expired.
1t is rumored that an effort Is being
made by some Regular RepubIicars
who are in position to ask favdfs
from the Federal government to have
Frederick Eden Bach appointed uoi
lector of the port to succeed DR.. Vii
liamm II. Coopar, whose term expired
last December. 1t is said that Mr.
Bach has the endorsemept of Gel.
Leonard Wood, military governor of
Cuba, under whom President Rooseve)t
served while in command OF the Rough
Riders in the campaign in Cuba This
is considered decidedly strong point
10 MIR. Bach's favor and tits not i'm
probable that he will be appointed.
Mr.. Bach is now in the government
service in CuEa, having been appointed
to post there about two years ago by
the late President Mckinley. Prior to
that time he was resident OF this city
and while here was active In the affairs
of the Regular Republicans.
1t has been generally believed for
some time that DIR. Copper was allowed
to remain because OF the contention in
the Republican party and the fact that
they could not agree upon any ybcdy.
Several Regular Republicans have been
mentioned for the place, and some time
ago the Union Republicans practically
agreed upon Col. ID. p. Barnard as
their candidate, but recently 1t has
been asserted that an EFFORT was being
put forth by some of the Unionists In
behalf of Daniel Layton. Robert G.
Houston of Georgetown, prominent
Regular Republican, has also been
mentioned for the place.

INSPECTION or ROADS.

Those Near Bombay Hook Viewed by the
Levy Court of Kent County.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal.
Smyrna, Oct 8, The entire member
ship of Kent county g Levy Court came
to Smyrna last Friday, and went down
to Bombay Hook Island in naphtha
laurch. They first visited the big
break In the lighthouse rUad then they
proceeded to the shore of the Delaware
River, where several bad breaks were
seen. The officials walksd along the
shore for over mile, and found that
for at least half mile the water over
flows the banks at every high tide. All
the banks along the river shore were
found to be in bad condition, and IL
not repaired soon would in few years
be gone entirely.
The party continued to Woodland
Eeach, where tine dinner was served
by L. p. Campbell. The party was
provided with boats, and inspected the
Woodland Beach road. and also saw
the vast expanse of water which reaches
south to Leipsic Creek. The party
reached Smyrna at 8 O'Clock in the
evening, and seemed delighted with the
days trip. They asked many question:
while oonyersing with the residents os
WOOu ana beAcn, ana seemed anxtOu6
to secure all the information possible.
Commissioner Baggs Of this hundred
did NOT want his associates among the
county officials to go any farther than
the break on the lighthouse road, and
urged the owner of the launch to return
home after this was inspected; but the
latter WAS determined that the other
commissioners should see the true con
dition of affairs, and they were as
anxious to see as he was to show them.
An unpleasant Incident marred the
trip. A. q, Cuminins OF Smyrna who
was before the Levy Court last Tuesday
and who had urged the commissioners
TO visit Bombay Hook Island, had been
asked by two ot tine commissioners to
accompany them. This he willingly
consented to do. but was ordered away
by Mr.. Bages, who refused to accom-
pany his associates If Mr.. Oummins
were allowed to go. The latter grace.
fully Withdrew.

and typewriter in the law office OF
William Il. Lyman, met with an un-
usual and painful accident Sunday

confined to her house. She was about
to enter Central Presbyterian Church
TO attend the morning service, when q
pane OF glass from the church tower
came shooting to the street. All or
part of it struck Miss Crossley and
shattered upon the sidewalk. The fall
Of about 40 feet gave great force to the
glass, which was of the ordinary thick
ness. One PORTION struck Miss Crossley
on the arm. making cash from whioh
the blood flowed freely. Another piece
OF glass struck her in the back, making
a slight wound.
In spite of the accident, the young
woman was calm and walked into the
lectureroom of the church. where water
was applied to the wound on tho arm.
There she was attended by DIR. James
a. Draper, who used several stitches In
closing the wound. Miss Crossley re-
sides ut 917 Adams street,
