WHAT IT SHOULD DO.

In discussing the work of the forth coming ar.Alasban convention, which has been called Co meet at Juneau Oe- tober 96, the Ketehikan Journal, very sensibly, says;
 'Ii the people Of Alaska are capable through a representative convention, Co frame needed laws for recommend ation Co congress, they are certainly capable Of enacting such laws through the medium of territorial legislature, and they will but stultity themselves it they demand anything less than the privilege of legislating for themselves ou an matters Of purely local concern
 "If the convention, when 10 assem- bles, is dominated by wise counsel it will first and foremost appoint a com mittee with instructions Co prepare a bill providing for the organization ot the Territory ot Alaska, together with respectful memorial ,o congress pray ing for it's passage, and then adjourn and await iu patience whatever may be the outcome. A territorial form of government will bring with it all that it could possibly ask or desire in the way of needed laws of a local eharae- ter. win insure us delegate representa- tion in congress, and place us in posi- ton Co far more readily and easily se- cure such general legislation as may be further requisite to our needs and de- sires. Of course, there can be no ob- lection to the convention memorabilia ing the congress in behalf Of lcgisla- tion for Alaska beyond the province or power oi territorial legislature to enact; but popular home government will supply all else that Alaska may de- sire in the way Of needed laws, and to secure that should be che principal aim and purpose Of the convention

HAD NEVER BEEN KISSED.
Neglected Ten-Year-OId Lad Could Not Remember Ever Having Re-
 cefved the Tender CaresS.

once made 8 tour of the almshouseA of the state of New York, describing them exactly as they were. Every emo- ton that can be awakened by sorrow was felt during the trip, writes Julius Chambers in the Reader Magazine. The most pathetic incident occurred at the poorhouse of Essex county, located in the hills beyond Whallonsburg, near Lake Champlain. I should say that the trip was made at the request of state commissioner of charities, who desired that the truth should be told.
 After inspecting the wards for the aged women and insane, walked across an open court, deep with mud, to visit the children's quarters. While there, a small, red-faced, red-he2ded lad attract ed my notice. I patted him on the shoulder and asked his name. He gave It promptly, told me be was ten years old and that his father and mother were dead. felt deeply touched by the child's words. Soon after I left the mis- erable shed in which these children were herded together and started to recross the yard. felt tug at my coat and found my little friend behind me. His eyes looked up into mine so pitifully that asked:
 What can I do for you, my boy?"
 "I want you to kiss me-"
 Certainly; but why?"
 ''I never was kissed in my life!"
 When came to write that story for publication developed its full pathos, giving the name of the fatherless and motherless lad. AS a result he was adopted by wealthy family near Sara toga: he has been well raised, given a college education and is to-day heir to a fortune.

AUTHORS ODD EXPERIENCE.
Emerson Tough. Who Wrote "The Mississippi Bubble" Meets De-
 mcendant of Hero of His Book.

Emerson Hough, who, by his strik- mg characterization of John Law in *The Mississippi Bubble" has made that picturesque gentleman alive for all time, was surprised out of his usual calm by the appearance at his office door of a digniied and impressive stranger who announced himself as John Law. AS soon as MT. Hough real Ized that the vision before him was corporeal and not the cheating fancy of his brain, he set out the easy chair and bade the welcome guest tell him the story of his life.
 John H. Law lives in Chicago and Is the resident manager of big insur- ance company. He had read "The Mississippi Bubble and had called to pay his respects to the man who had given the world an honest picture of his great ancestor. MT. Hough learned that the family on coming to this country settled first in Georgia, that one of its members was 9 brigadier general in the confederate army, and that after the war the Laws moved to Cincinnati where one of the brothers still lives in COuAIAy PAoC0 WhACu uo CALLS At1uI4S- ton after the ancestral home in Scot land.
 The author and the descendant rev. eled in the family history for hours, and when they parted to meet at dinner the next night Hough said he felt as though he had shaken hands with the hero of his romance and had looked into the face of the man who for one historic moment had seen all Europe at his feet.

RADJUM PLANTATIONS.
Scientist Thinks the Wonderful Suba stance Can Be Used to Cure
 Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

Frederick Soddy, who was Prof Rutha erford, assistant at McGill university, In Montreal, has suggested another use for radium. He argues that as it has been found to cure consumption of the skin Qupus), it should also cure con- sumption of the lungs, if its rays can be brought to bear directly on the diseased lung tissue, without any intervening substances, such as the chest wall. At first sight. says the Scientific American, this seems rather difficult thing to do, as it is, of course, out of the question to place any solid mass of radium within the lungs themselves. But recent stud les have shown that radium in solution gives off 8 gas and that this gas is itself radioactive. So all that is necessary to subject the internal lung tissue to the direct action of radium rays is to breathe mixture of air and the radium gas. By this means MT. Soddy believes new and valuable remedy for consumption will be available to the pathologist. The rays from radium have already proved use- eul in the treatment of several forms of skin disease, and it has been suggested that the insertion of minute particles of radium In the interior of cancer is worth trying. It should be rem membered, however, that even if radium proves val uable in the treatment of pulmonary tu- berculosis, it's cost is so high-several hundred dollars a grain-that 1t could not come into general use under present conditions,

and found he had taken shotgun loaded with birdshot, instead of rifle. He padded within few yards of the moose and discharged both barrels into the animals side.
 Instead of turning to swim ashore, the moose charged the canoe, and Cox had to do some hard padding to escape be- ing drowned. Finding the moose still vigorous and very angry, Cox led his game toward the middle of the pond, and then turned and padded to the shore as fast as he could. He succeeded in climbing a haystack before his pursuer could overtake him.
 The moose charged the stack and made the hay fly. But the stack was large and high, and Cox, feeling sure that help would arrive in a short time, lighted his pipe and began to smoke. Be- fore the tobacco had burned down he saw that the stack was on fire. Cox was scared then. But he threw burning wads of hay upon the moose until the animal was frantic with anger. Then he slipped down the further side of the stack through the flames, and escaping to his canoe crossed the pond for help. On returning half an hour later with his guide, Cox found the haystack still smoking. Lying nearby with his hair burned away was the dead moose. On cutting the animal open it was found that the moose had bled to death in formally from a wound inflicted by the birdshOt

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Encourc ged by the splendid recep- ton extended to the girl with the Auburn Hair who concludes her en- gagement at the Jacques this evening, Manager Poli has plunged again for next week, giving us the gorgeous Papinta in her myriad dancing act for the principal feature of his bill. As in the case of the Girl With the Auburn Hair, Papinta's act is genuine novel, ty and one that has made 8 sensation all over this country and Europe. It is spectacular act in which, by the aid of mirrors set up in circular form about the stage and overhead and large sheets of heavy plate glass plac- ed in the floor she produces an im- pression on the audience that there are dozens of dancers on the stage. En- veloped in hundreds of yards of fine silk gauge she makes all sorts of fam tastic movements, producing bewilder- ingly beautiful effects in the various dances she executes and stirring her audiences to tumultous enthusiasm as they sit beneath the spell of the gor geous spectacle. The entire stage is needed for the settings of the act, and fourteen men are required to arrange the act and handle the lights that are used in 1t. She got the privilege of using the mirrors from the inventor of the Crystal Maze, Loie Fuller having the same rights for Europe. Some of ' Papinta's dances are gorgeous illu- sion, while others are magnificent fam tasies of color that dazzle the specta- tors with their ever changing hrillian- cy. As in the case of the Girl with the Auburn Hair, the expense of bring ing this act to a city of the size of Waterbury is something to stagger less enterprising manager than MT Poli. but the latter feels positive that his patrons here want the best that money can secure and that they will insure him against loss in bringing these big attractions here to offer as vaudeville features. In addition to Papinta Manager Poi has secured several other notable features, prom1- nent among them being Tom Browne and Miss Nevarres, MT and Mrs Ali son, the Quaker City Quartette, the Great Trovollo, Max Ritter, James and Bonnie Farley and the electro graph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents. la dies 10.
