A talk with several of the supposed base ball enthusiasts discloses the fact that there is little prospect of club being organized on the Island to com pete in the proposed tournament to be held at Juneau, although it is barely possible, that as the timeapproaches, enough ginger may develop to rib up team.
 District Clerk Hills has returned to Juneau from business trip to Valdez, where he went. as an agent of the jus tice works to see that the business men to the Westward are not knocking down on your Uncle Sam.

 Some of the young men of the city have taken in hand the matter of or ganizing a brass band and have settled down to steady practice.

 Johnny Bean has erected derrick and crane, or some other kind of con- traption, at the side entrance of the Glory Hole, for the handling of that new boat he has had built at Juneau.

Fred Is no stranger on Douglas Island, and his many friends are glad to welcome him back. He has prosperous air about him that indi- cates that the world has used him in friendly sort of way.
 At the Friends church next Sunday evening special missionary exercises will be held by the Christian Endeavor societies. The service was compiled oy Miss Esther A.

Young America is quick to jump at conclusions. Out in the Indian grave yard west of town there has recently been erected over the last resting place of hyas tyee quite an imposing mar ble shaft. The dear departed belonged to the Bear clan, and we'll executed head of bruin stands out in bold relief near the top of the shaft. Two small boys wandered past there the other evening and the elder one, evidently wishing to impress his companion with the range of his knowledge, said, pointing toward the stone, "There's the Indian that was killed by bear." Just then curious thing happened: A little cloud of dust arose in the air from the foot of the grave-Mr. Indian was mak- ing a vigorous kick against the reckless disregard of truth displayed by his traducer.

 The cut-rate steamer Santa Ana ar rived in the channel Sunday morning with Sound mail as late as the 10th inst. This was something of surprise, as no mail was expected until the ar rival of the Cottage City, due to sail from Seattle on the 18th.
 If the committee in charge of the school house site has any more boquets to throw at the News, we trust they will kindly refrain from throwing them. Tracys lightning express is just lit tie too swift for us. We have made ar arrangements with Jones to pay the freight on all future consignments.
 The Royal Restaurant has changed hands, Chas. Rosswog having sold out to "a Japanese firm, who will continue the business at the old stand. Charlie is undecided as to his next move, but it is generally conceded that he has laid by few needles and pins and is in condition to do about as he pleases.
 The coast survey steamer Gedney, the revenue cutter Rush and the light house tender Manzanita were in port this week. The Manzanita is on her an- nual tour of inspection of the northern bunch of light houses.

 The ball game between Juneau and Douglas didn't happen on account ot rain. It was mighty lucky thing for Juneau, as some of the boys would have been pretty tired by night, lugging tallies to the home plate.

What a frightful revelation that Is,
How the blood Of the friends and rel

a lust for vengeance! And yet, as the

THE CITIZENS DUTY.

IN ALMOST every campaign the COM
plant is made that the best
men are not selected for high and re-
sponsible positions. II is said that m
ferior candidates crowd themselves to
the front while the men the people
want are forced TO the rear by political
tricksters. The fault is largely with
these best men themselves. They
lack sufficient civic pride or pub
lie spirit to come to the front when
they are needed. They complain OF bad
laws. yet refuse to help make better
ones. They say the country is going to
the dogs. but they never raise a finger
20 prevent It. They seem TO forget
that the highest duty of a citizen is 10
the public welfare. They pile up dol
lars for their children and overlook
that which is of far more Importance

government and the enactment OF BEN
eficial laws
The Democratic county convention
has given the people their inning. In
the Republican county convention the
politicians had theirs. Every man on
the Democratic ticket is a good citizen
and gentleman in every sense of the
word. II is An honor to be associated
with such a group OF men. AS rule
the Office sought the man in this con-
vention. Those who sought a place
upon the ticket We're generally turned
down. It Is the duty Of men so nom
mated TO remain upon the ticket and to
serve the people in whatever capacity
they are needed.
When they refuse. it is discouraging
TO those who would purify politics and
improve conditions. When they con-
sent 1t is an incentive TO all parties to
put the best material they have in DO
sitions OF honor. responsibility and
trust.

French writers. had a fame and a
clientele distinctively his own. Where

lola used a club. He was one of the

Zola had the genius which claims

During the years from 1871 TO 1898 he

In 1898 the novelist and critic sprang

Mr.. Boniface. He was then on the

at the same time that If IL was Just
as agreeable 10 him he would prefer

the proprietor gracefully aequieseed,
and Mr. Field thought by this that his
stock was certainly rising, but he had
not accurately measured his man, as
the following event showed:
AT Christmas the usual quota Of
turkeys was In evidence, and each was
presented to their respective recipients,

the striped suit, and when the rural
visitor appeared Field was seen on his
knees busily sweeping up the ashes
around the stove. The editor looked
aghast at the picture presented, and
inquired Of one of the boys what il

T HE CONTEST for the estate of the
L late W. S. Stratton is the latest
Colorado sensation. A son of Mr..
stratton. who was left $4,000 under a
provision of the dead mililonaire's viii,
isn't satisfied with that comparatively
paltry sum and the livellest kind Of
litigation is on. Already charges and
counter charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud have been flied and the proceed
ings promise to be protraeted and ex-
pensive.
With such fat pieltings before them
as the Stratton estate will undoubtedly
prove. the lawyers Will be loath 10 let
go their hold as long as there is any
thing in sight. In the end II may be
that the desires OF the man who won
the great fortune viii be frustrated.
Mr.. .stratton wanted the bulk of his
wealth used in the establishment and
maintenance of a home for destitute
persons.
The scheme may have been visionary
but the purpose was clear, and It seems
pity that it cannot at least be at
tempted. But even if he had not at
tempted to dispose OF his money as he
did. other reasons for contest would
surely have been discovered. for this
has been the history of practically all
the great estates of the west. 1. is
enough to make those OF us who
haven't any vast fortunes satisfied with
our condition in life.
We at least have the satisfaction OF
knowing that while we lived we lived
and that those who follow US will have
to work as hard as we did for that
living.
