A pathetic scene was enacted in a
New York station house the other day
when Mary Pauchek and her daughter,
EMMA, the latter a pretty girl of IA,
were arraigned before the desk ser
geant on a charge of shop-lifting. In
stolid indifference the woman stood
while the story of her crime was told
by the arresting officers, but the girl
pleaded for her release.
Mother taught me to steal" she
cried. 1--WE have to do it to live, as
papa does not support u.s."
What a picture of human misery was
here presented! What an indictment
was here urged against the absent ia
Their of the family! What a brutal
mockery upon the duties of fatherhood
and the sanctity of the home!
Crime and vice are not alluring at
first sight. 1t is the sharp urging of
necessity that forces many a young
and tender soul to acquaintance with
the evil side of life. 1t is after vice
has been long endured that the youth
full criminals, pity, then embrace"
1t is a sad reflection upon the race we
speak of as the noblest of Gods crea-
ton and are so prone to admire and
reverence, that the father of a family
in his indifference to his duty and his
neglect of home ties and home respon-
sbilities, should offer his children the
first incentive to life of crime.
Much has been said of the duty of
children to their parents; isn't it time
for some discussion of the duty of
parents to their children?

Gov. Gamblers reply to the New York
Journals request for his opinion re-
specting the Booker Washington Incl
dent does him credit and beyond doubt
expresses the conservative sentiment
of the South. The Governor occupies
the same position on the race question
that the Morning News has always oc-
cupied, namely. that there can be no
social equality between the races; that
the white is the superior race and that
it will always remain so. The barrier
between the two is one erected by ma
ture, and the act of no individual can
break it down. Respecting the White
House dinner incident the Governor
says: 1.-The receiving of Washington
by the President on terms of social
equality will not affect the question in
any way. If sensational newspapers
had not made so much ado about it,
nobody would have thought or cared
anything about it, That expresses
the matter admirably. The incident
raised no new issue. 1t changed no
body's opinion respecting the race
question. 1t threatened the overthrow
of none of our institutions. But sensa-
ton lovers seized upon the incident
and treated it it way calculated to
stir up race and sectional passion, ut
terly careless of what the effect of
their ill-considered agitation might be-
Except for the vociferation and arm
swinging by a number of sensational
lists it would have been allowed to pass
with little or no comment. The Presi-
dent would have been silently con-
demned in the South and there the
matter would have ended.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: "a
New York newspaper tells a pathetic
story of man in that city who has a
very dark complexion. The unfortu-
nate man, it is said, is generally mis-
taken for negro, and the conse-
quences of that mistake are anything
but pleasant. He found that in the
North, where the friends of the negro
all live, it is not wholesome to be even
suspected of being a negro. Real es-
tate men, the unfortunate person de-
clared, refused to rent me houses until
l explained to them that 1 was a white
man, and even then l have been re-
fused in great many instances. In
a great many ways l am subjected to
the annoyances that usually bother a
negro who tries to mingle with white
people. About a year ago my neigh
bors tainted my wife about living with
"A negro and she left me. l threw up
my position here and started West. and
when too late found that / could not
secure the employment / desired, being
constantly taken for a negro 1t is
perfectly well known all over the coun-
try that this Is the way negroes are
treated in the North. But that fact
does not prevent the Northern newspa-

1t would be difficult to ina gine a liberty
one could reasonably desire not already pos
sessed in Canada 1t would be difficult to
imagine any republic with greater freedom
The United States is the greatest republic
thu world has ever known, and Canada is
an important part of Great Britain. Yet in
all the essentials that go to make life and
property secure Canada will be found quite
on a par with the United States; indeed
one may go from this province to any
of the northern states, and never know
that he has crossed the boundary line, ex-
cept that an intelligent observer would dis
cover the land of the best farming to lie
north of the lakes. Close as have been the
relations between Canada and the United
States in the past, we believe the future
will make them friendlier still. Great has
been the number of Canadians who have
made their homes in the United States in
the past, but we believe the future will
bring to Canada from the United States
as Canada's wealth presents itself, and
opens up-many of the citizens of the Unit
ed States. When they come to Canada they
will be welcome They will find here that

daily newspaper has the only type-setting
machine in the district; she boasts the
only stone building in the entire territory,
and Is proud of the finest hotel in the
country. On account of her proximity to
the Canadian border-the line being at the
summit of White Pass, twenty-eight miles
away-she is considered the best strategic
point in southeastern Alaska, and COM
plete army post has been established here.
The troops are colored, and in addition to
encroachments of John Bull, they serve on
the local fire department and furnish
amusement for the inhabitants with con-

If the paint drummer has overlooked his
opportunity in Alaska, the oversight cannot
be charged to the bicycle representative
or the camera agent. Although the local

rough winding trails and persuades him

as blase as he will. Every tourist VINO
visits Alaska is certain to influence seV-
eral of his friends to make the trip. The
hotel accommodations in the different
towns are first class.
The Curio Business.
The sale of curios to the tourists is a
source of great income to the residents of
the different places during the summer
months But this summer there has been a
great deal of buncombe in the way of quar-
antine restrictions. On account of the prev
alence of smallpox among the Indians dur
in the early part of the season all curios
are required to be diSinfected before being
taken on the steamers. This is all rlsh1 SO
far as it goes, but the passengers are allowed
to go through the Indian villages and to
enter the native houses, thus making
farce of the entire system. To show thit
the whole matter is a fraud certificate
Is required from the dealer signed by GER
tain doctors. thus creating a monopoly be-
tween the doctors and the dealers. The
Skagway dealers have been Disseminated
against in this matter this season and
have lost a great amount of mon,y on ac-
count of the injustice of the ruling.
Another thing which has restricted the
growth and the stability of SkagUay is the
long-drawn-out contest for the town site.
1t seems that in the SOS man by the
name of Ben Moore settled upon the fiat
where the town stands and iled claim
to all the ground unon which the business
portion is now locared When the rush tO
the Klondike set in he was overrun by
squatters and his property wrestea from
him by the sheer force of numbers. He
Immediately took the proper steps 20 re-
claim his property, but on account of one
technicalty and another the case has
dragged along through the courts for years
and has cost the litiSants over S1o,un0.
Moore has good case, for the reason that
he was there first and fulfilled every
quirement of the law to properly prc-empt
the claim. But he has the whole town
against him, and the influence Of numbers
has made it difficult for him TO Sc justice.
The case will come up this fall for the
fourth time, but it is doubtful if a final
settlement will be reached, as both sdcc
have already signified their intention to ap-
peal. BY former ruling Moore was grant

government official who bought the coffee
and sent it to the seacoaSt. He told me
that the government is now paying less
than D cents pound for its coffee, the
same that we pay our retailers 40 cents in
the United States; so you see the Dutch
are not doing losing business with the ma
tives.
The Coffee Nurseries.
L was much interested in the coffee nur-
series. These are of great extent. In places
they cover the sides of the hills, great
sheds rooted with bamboo filed with
thousands of bamboo pots each containing
coffee seed or plant. Some of the plants
were just bursting forth from the ground,
others were a few inches high, and some
foot high. The plants are set out in the
same earth in which they grow in the riur-
Sery. They are put only a few feet apart
and are shaded when young. AT first they
are kept free from weeds, but when the
trees grow the shade from the coffee keeps
down the weeds.
l wish 1 could take a pony-back ride with
you up through these coffee estates They
are interspersed with forests, and there
are many monkeys, great long-iaiied black
fellows, which jump from branch to branch
and from one tree to another You see
them squatting at the roots of the branches
and creeping around the tree trunks grim
ming and chattering at you. Now Won will
see one clinging to a limb 200 feet above
the ground and now catch sight of one
jumping fifteen feet from one tree TO an
other.
Luxurfant Vegetation.
The vegetation is everywhere luxuriant
There are palm trees and banana plants
There are all sorts of winding vines. The
very plants seem to love one another, the
trees twist themselves about their fellows
and grow up together. Even the dead
branches are covered with green; they are
clothed with orchids and moss the green
and flowers of the air forming a winding
sheet over the dead branches There are
orchids everywhere, and such orchids !,
Here one has wound itself around branch
like necklace; there one squats like a
monkey at the root of a limb, and farther
over are great masses of green out of
which come blossoms of many hues
The soil Of Java is exceedingly rich The
land is one of volcanoes, but its volcanoes
spout forth mud instead of stones and
this mud Is Of chocolate brown. which,
when dry, becomes fine dust many feet
thick. In the coffee districts it has a red

SKAGWAY, Alaska,
Skagway is at present the largest town in
Alaska. but it is on the decline. There are
a score of empty stOrerooms on the main
street When the Klondike boom took place
Tom Dick and Harry rushed in here from
everywhere, and the present situation may
be summed up by the igurative statement
that Tom and Dick have gone away and
Harry is getting ready to go. Skagway got
its name from accident, and its existence
is due to circumstance. In the early days
tradition relates that old Indian and his
sOr attempted to land during storm on
the fat where the town now stands. They
were in separate canoes and the father, be-
ing strong and more skillfuI, succeeded in
landing after hard struggle with the wind
and tide The youth did not fare so well.
He was driven back, his canoe capsized,
ana after brave, but Intellectual, effort 10
swim out he went down to watery grave.
The only witness TO the accident was the
distressed father, who smote himself upon
the breast and exclaimed In anguish,
''Skagua!' ''SkaguaT' which, being inter-
preted means The home of the north
wind''-the destroyer of his boy. The ap-
propriateness of this name can be fully ap-
preciated by any one who has encountered
the terrific winds that frequently prevail in
pie have been compelled to crawl upon their
hands and knees along the piers that lead
frCm the wharves into the town.
This much for the name-and now for
the circumstance which caused a town to
grow as if by magic, on this wind-swept
fat The news of George Carmacks great
find on Bonanza creek, in the Klondike,
caused the greatest rush in the history of
geld hunting. Although winter-grim, arc
tic winter-was setting in a horde of men
took up their packs and bOlted for the
frozen north. The vanguard was checked
by the fearful White Pass, with its block
adC of snow and ice and the reinforcements
came so fast that in a twinkling there was
an army Of impatient men bivouacked at
its foot The situation suggested the op-
pOrturlty for trade TO those who had the
commercial instinct; great profit could be
had by supplying the temporary needs of
these men who were resting for their at
tack upon the mountain. Tents were I'M
folded, cabins rushed to hasty completion
ing for place on the map. The multitude
OF fortune-hunters soon toiled over the
mcnutain. leaving behind trail of sweat
and blood; but others came after them
The trail to and from the golden north has
been beaten hard by the feet of thousands
of prOspectOrS since that time, and Skdgway
has flOUrished upon their necessities She
has no other prop to lean upon. There are
mines in the immediate vicinity, there
are TO factories to give employment to her
people. Consequently. anything that de-
priVes her of the transient trade strikes
into the quick of her vitality. The building
Of the White Pass and Yukon railway en-
&bles the prospector to go into the interior
