Father Soba- Jeff is doing good work among the na' tives here. We can see much improve. ment in them since we came, nearly 3 years ago. Their Temperance Society, which he organized little more than a year ago, is steadily growing and doing much good.
 We had very sad accident across the lagoon from Angoon. An old blind man Gan Indian doctor) who lived in a shanty burned to death last Sunday morning. The stove pipe fell on the roof and set it on fire, and it took but few minutes for it to fall in and burn him entirely up. He was alone and could not get out. The Indians say he was 200 years old. He might not have been quite that old, but he was no doubt 15O or more. He was the oldest looking man ever saw. In California it is nothing for Indians to live to l5o or even 175 years of age.
 Many of the Indians are back mak- ing gardens.

We now wish to solicit all who have not become members to do so. Further more, the management has decided that only those who hold membership tick cts are entitled to the rights and privi- leges of the institution, and, on, and after the above date, in justice to the actual members, this rule must be en- forced.

Douglas Island news., 1902-05-14

In my last letter wrote you that the next day was the Russian Easter. l will try in this letter to tell you how the Russians and Indians celebrate Easter. It was more like our Fourth of July. It is more of holiday than holy day with them. The day before Easter Father Sobaleff holds services in the morning and at 5 o'clock in the evening, so as to give all the members who have not gone to confession a chance to do so, as none can partake of the sacred emblems of communion un- til they have gone to confession. The church was very prettily decorated with green vines which grow on the Is- land and artificial flowers, as it is too early for wild ones, and of course none of the Indians have house plants. They have a coffin setting in front of the al- tar, draped with handsome velvet and silk cover made of purple, yellow and white. Inside the coffin is very heavy image of our Saviour nearly the size of the coffin, made of highly polished brass. The inside of the coffin is lined with white satin and lace. All around the wall are hung lamps and pretty col ored candles. They have several fine paintings of different saints also hung on the walls. Outside the church, on the porch, on posts and small trees, they had lamps and lanterns hung. Flags in profusions were displayed, floating in the breeze, which was good and stiff one. They beat drums, fired cannon, and it seemed the more noise they made, the better. This was dur ing the evening. They had all the lights in full blaze, so it made it very light. They were dressed in their best Sunday -go-to-meeting- clothes, as we say sometimes. All colors of the rain- bow were represented, but yellow, pur- pie and green seemed the most favored colors. They kept up this noise and celebrating until F o'clock. then all marched into the church, two and two, and the regular church services then began, which consisted of reading the Scripture, singing Cor chanting, more properly speakingl by the priest, fol- lowed by a sermon which could not understand, as it was in Indian and Russian languages. But, know it was good, as Father Sobalef is an educated man and good speaker. The services lasted until 3 o'clock in the morning. Then all went to the school house, where they had what they call dinner. It consisted of potatoes, canned corn, canned tomatoes, roast beef canned, and two pounds of butter, all cooked together in one large kettle. Then they all went home and rested until F o'clock Easter day. They then had their big dinner. Four long tables set with dishes, had long benches placed around them to sit on. They then had what the Indians call an American dinner. Bread and butter, three kinds
