And now the men of Douglas Island may no longer think that they are the whole thing, nor be puffed up with the idea that their presence is necessary for the happiness of the ladies, because it is not. Last Wednesday evening some of the ladies-young and hand some-hired Ohman's Hall, and pro- ceeded to have a jolly good time of their own. No men were invited, and none were present. But the ladies had the best time. They danced and sang and told stories and-did all kinds of things that are pleasant, and not a single animal of the man tribe was al loved to darken the hall.
 The young men weren't to be got away with by the ladies, so on Friday evening they hired Ohman's Hall, and had it all to themselves, and they danced, &c, but it was all done just to show the young ladies that they didn't care fig that they were excluded from the af- fair Wednesday night. And they didn't. Oh! no, they didn't care.

MIR. EDIToR:-Mr. Ryan, of Kansas, the newly appointed commissioner of Alaska, to the St. Louis Exposition wants the people of Alaska to furnish the exhibit and deliver it at the Expo sition grounds in St. Louis, meeting all expenses themselves, then he will take charge of it and exhibit it. He further wants a committee of Alaskans to meet him at Seattle and arrange details with him. He don't want much! This ap- pointment is an outrage on the people of Alaska and on a parallel with the appointment of Boyce, of California, for District attorney here over Held and Lyons, good men and citizens here, ignoring our right to any share in home rule and for the same reason to give a favorite good position.
 This man from Kansas-what does he know of Alaska? What interest can he show, or knowledge can he impart, in or of Alaska? How can he represent us, compared to a resident here, notably MT. Williams of Juneau, who is the choice of Gov. Brady, Juneau Chamber of Commerce, also of Valdez and other places, an ex-commissioner and mar shal of the territory, an old resident and engaged in mining. The secretary's excuse of "rival factions" is poor. For every office there is rivalry. The Sec retary of the Interior turns us all down and puts in nonresident to represent us. We had better not represent at all than be less than half represented.
 We hear that for this reason Supt. Macdonald will not exhibit model of the great Treadwell mine, as at first in- tended. We have the privilege of ex- hibiting our knowledge of this insult on us, even if we can't our products.

Rev. Christian A. Roth, of Juneau, called at the News office yesterday. He informs us that he will now have charge of the St. Luke's Episcopal mis- sion in this city and will hold services on each Sunday evening, beginning a week from next Sunday.
 Mir. Sam Gius, accompanied by bis wife, left yesterday morning on the Dolphin for visit to the home of his boyhood days in Southern Europe. Sam Gius is one of the best known men on Douglas Island, and is man among men, quiet, honest and a perfect gen tleman in all of his dealings. He has ever been foremost in every move for the welfare of Douglas, and if any one is in trouble and needs help, Sam will always head the list with the largest amount, for Sam's heart is an open door to his pocketbook There may be better men, but there are none more kind hearted and honest
 The bowling contest between the of flee and foundry boys last Saturday evening at the Y. M. c. A., was very exciting game. Both teams were to win, but at the end of the first game the score stood 2O4 to 153 in favor of the foundry. The office was ahead by four points at the close of the second game. But when the final game was called both teams began to scratch, and it was a close game all through. The foundry boys carried off the honors as we'll as the prize cup. which the of flee team reluctantly delivered up to the champions. The colors of the office team were white and blue. The foun- dry team furnished beautiful souvenirs of tiny gilded horse shoes with the letters F. B. c. on each; their colors were gold and purple. The next con- test is to be played off between the winners and the boys of the machine shop, probably this week.

Just Lies.

The Juneau Dispatch of last Satur- day contained the following:
 "There will be a game of base ball at the park, tomorrow afternoon, between two picked hines. Manager Rogers tried to secure either the Douglas or Treadwell teams, for a Sunday game, but the Douglas team appear to desire to retire on their recent honors, and it was impossible for the Treadwell boys to play"
 Listen to the truth. The Douglas club played four games on the Juneau grounds in succession, winning the championship of s. E. Alaska and the Juneau pennant or banner-which they never got. At each of these games the friends of the Douglas boys paid from p cents to 50 cents to sit in the sun on a rough board, and hang their feet off. In return the Douglas club wanted to play one game on their home grounds, which by the way are far superior to any other in this part of Alaska, and has large and comfortable grand stand, where spectators may enjoy the game.
 But the Juneau management refused to play in Douglas.

 The wisdom of expending part of the Fourth of July funds on perma- nent grand stand, instead of building a temporary affair each year, was dem onstrated last Sunday evening when the grand stand was crowded with wo- men and children, to hear the band con- cert.
 The family of MT. Dan Kelly left on the Dolphin for Port Angeles, Wash, where they will make their home.

of the communication ii it accurately

belief that the situation ultimately
will be clarified and the efforts of the

quarters the objections urged to the
opening of ports in Prince Chings

mere diplomatic bubble, designed,
perhaps, to placate Russia. No matter
