Those present were: MT, and Mrs. F. c. Krause, MT. and Mrs. J. N. Stoody, Rev. Thomas Coyle, Ed. Belden, Mrs. James Daniels, Mrs. Christoe, Mrs. w. A. Mackie. Mrs. Frank Bach, Mrs. Nc. Kenny, Mrs. A. Hopp and Mrs. Chas. A. Hopp.
 Everyone interested in the Fourth of July should attend the meeting at Oh mans Hall on next Friday evening. The work of the various committees will no doubt crystalize into definite program at that time.

WEDNESDAY, June 17th, 1903.

It would appear to "man up tree" " that the people of Southeast Alaska are not worthy to be called alive. For sev- eral years the question of self-govern- ment has formed the principal topic for discussion, in season and out of season, by at least part of the people. Yet it seems that we are no nearer solution of the problem than we were four or five years ago. If the citizens of Alas ka are content to dub along, satisfied with meagre allowance of left over legislation each year, let them get to- gether and say so, and put us out of our misery. But, on the other hand, if it is the desire that we have representa- ton in the halls of congress, if, as Americans, we crave the right to regu- late our own affairs, then why in the name of common sense do we not get to work to perform the labor necessary to bring auch things to pass. Can 1t be that the stirring appeals of our broth CTS of the press, both to the north and south of us, have fallen on deaf ears? That the rank and file of Alaskans are content to sit down idly, and let the summer of 1893 pass, without making at least au effort to organize? When the "Citizen's League" was introduced, we expected that it would be seized with avidity as means of formulating the disorganized population into an or ganized power. The conditions which have impelled many to favor territo- rial form of government, still exist. The things which we would have are denied us, and that which we dislike is crammed down our throats with red hot poker. There are many who stand on the corners of the street and howl, but when you suggest organization, they get faraway look in their eyes and lose their interest. Whats the matter with Alaska, any way? Is every little community and mining camp so tied up in it's own affairs that all the rest is forgotten? Are we waiting for a Moses, or are we content to continue the manufacture of bricks withoot straw?

Some person, large or small, black or white, has recently stolen flowers, rib bons and other decorations from some of the graves in the Douglas cemetery. If it was children, they should be soundly spanked until such an impress sion is made upon their seat of knowl- edge that the offensei is never repeated If it was done by grown up children, they should be sent to the Sitka jail for six months and be fed on bread and water. But it is hard to believe that any person who has arrived at the age of discretion, would be so ornery as to rob grave yard.

rhe Feet of ChemeIeons.

Chameleons, as no doubt readers are
aware, all belong TO the old wol,d, and
particularly 10 Africa. In their tongue,
their feet end their eyes they differ re-
markably from other lizards. Their
feet, though possessing five toes, are
divided into two grasping groups, look
ing ike a hand in mittens, and only by
close examination you perceive the
presence of the two or the three oppos-
ing respectively, but so close together
as to appear like one broad one.
On the padded soles or palms of
these grasping limbs you can feel and
see the small-may one say-palpi,
which enable them to grasp so firmly
that it is difficult to detach chameleon
from its foothold. These clinging feet,
together with their prehensile tail, en-
able them to sustain themselves on the
branches in thesstrongest gale.

Reed ENJOYED IL.

Thomas B. Reed was once the victim
OF q printers error the unusual aptness
of which, after the first flush OF indig-
nation had subsidized, appealed so strong
" to his sense of the comic that he
never failed to refer to the matter with
the keenest gusto whenever he met the
man whom he, with the utmost mock
solemnity, always held responsible for
il.
The late Colonel John A. Cockerins
handwriting in the heat of composition
was sometimes liable to lose itself in
an almost interminable tangle, deci-
pherable only with the greatest difficult
". On one occasion he undertook to say
that ANY one can see Tom Reed has
the face of an honest man." but was
Mortified when he opened his paper the
following morning aud found that the
types made him say that "any one can
see Tom Reed has face like harvest
moon"

One of the rarest and most precious
stones is the carbuncle, which is some
times COMPOUNDED with the ruby, from
which it differs by the intensity OF its
fires, produced by an internal luster OF
gold, while under the purple of the ru-
by there only appear dottings Of azure
or lacquer. Ethiopia produced tho
most precious ancient carbuncles. The
ChaIdeans regarded this stone as a
powerful talisman. Legend makes the
eyes of dragons out of carbuncles. Gar
cias alb Horto, physician Of one Of the
viceroys of India. speaks of carbuncles
which he saw In the palace Of that
prince which were so extraordinary in
their brilliancy that they seemed like
redhot Goals in the midst of darkness"
Louis vertoman reports that the king
Of Pegu wore an enormous one, which
at night appeared TO be lighted up with
sunbeams. The virtues Of the carbun-
Gle are resistance to FIRE, preservation
of the eyes. promotion Of pleasant
dreams. creation Of happy illusions and
an antidote against impure air.

The Saxon dinner arrangements were
orderly compared with those of the
early Normans, when the halls and
passages were frequently the scene of
a free fight between the servants bring
ing in the food and the crowds of hang
ers on endeavoring to snatch it from
them. This nuisance became at length
so intolerable that ushers of the hall
and kitchen were established by King
William Rufus to protect not only the
cooks bringing in the dinner, but the
guests arriving to partake of 1t. Upon
the occasion of his great feast at West
minister 300 of these officers were on
duty, some to guard the visitors as
they assembled the steps and others to
defend the threatened dishes.
Such was the uncivilized state Of So
ciety at this period, but when later on
the marauders disappeared from the
great houses it became customary to
carry in the dishes in procession, some
times preceded by music and headed
by the steward with his wand Of Office.
1t was the duty of an "asseeur' or
placer to arrange them upon the table;
the ewers and napkins with which to
perform their ablutions were present
ed to the guests by the esquires and
pages, while 1t fell to the lot of the al
moner to say grace. .,us
