The Old .eGospeI Ship. :"

How sad it must be to realize at the last that the thing to which one has clung, and has cherished as the dearest purpose of life, until the monday has past, is doomed to be a failure. The dismantled hull of the steamer Evan gel lies in the marine boneyard at Bal lard, and the ashes of him who believed that in causing it to be built and dedi- cated to the service of God as means of carrying the gospel to the heathen in Alaska, he was serving his Lord, now lie at rest within the bosom of old mother earth out in Mount Pleasant cemetery.
 The Evangel was designed by Rev. J. P. Ludlow, and launched at Seattle in 1882. The Rev. Ludlow was Baptist minister whose lifelong desire had been to command a gospel ship, that should carry the good news of his be- loved faith to the heathen. In 1881, upon the death of relative who left him several thousand dollars, his op- portunity came. He sent out pamph- let addressed to the Beloved in the Lord," in which he made successful appeal for additional funds to build the steamer. Here is paragraph from the pamphlet:
 "After five years of waiting, watch ing, working and praying in this fara- way field, the dear Lord is now permit ting me to gL forward in the execution of mission which He has laid and kept as a special burden on my heart. This is to build steamer to go to the waters of Washington, British Colum- bia and Alaska, bearing to the whites, Indians and Chinese the precious gos- pei of Jesus without price"
 "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" Instead of using his opportu- nity to serve the Lord according to His will in this matter, the Rev. Ludlow hardened to the persuasion of John Leary who about that time secured a contract to carry the Alaska mail, and had his steamer changed to suit the needs of the new enterprise and char tered her for carrying the mail. But the especial burden that the Lord had laid and kept on his heart" did not at once wholly lose it's influence upon him. When the vessel was launched, instead of the usual christening by the breaking of bottle of wine on her bow, he caused little girl, dressed in white, to scatter religious tracts over the vessels bow as she glided into the sea.-Seattle Mail and Herald.

Alaska Thoroughly American.

As indicating the position of Presi- dent Roosevelt with regard to Alaska, it will be remembered that in his terse way he iaid down a platform that suits Alaskans. Alaska should have an ad- equate form of government and com potent judicial system" That is just what Alaska needs, provided the form of government be indeed adequate and the judicial system be slighly modified so as to be competent" It needs a certain stability that will make the entire system more adequate.
 Alaska is not a colony that needs to be Americanized. The citizens of AL aska are all .Americans-most of them coming from the older states of the Union. They are first and foremost Americans. For business and other reasons they are in Alaska, but still they remain loyal Americans. Why, then, should they be treated as if they were in the Philippines? Alaska should be treated along the line of President Roosevelt's platform. "Al- aska should have an adequate form of government and competent judicial system."-Nome Nugget.

School Opens.

The Douglas city public school open ed for business Monday morning.
 The teachers in charge are Miss Julia E. Kennedy, principal; Miss Elva Galloway, intermediate; and Mrs. Jen- nie Alexander, primary.
 Miss Kennedy comes from Seattle where she taught in the city schools and also in the University of Wash. ington. She holds state certificates in both Washington and Illinois, and was instructor in the Illinois State Normal School for years.
 Mrs. Alexander has taught very suc- cessful schools in both Iowa and Col orado, and is graduate of the State Normal School at Greeley, Colorado.
 Miss Galloway, who taught in the Douglas school last year, needs no in- troduction further than to say that she is bright and talented lady.
 On Monday 89 pupils appeared promptly at 9 o'clock. This number will no doubt be largely increased.
 There is no doubt that the school is equipped with thoroughly efficient corps of instructors, all of whom have had much experience in their chosen profession, and parents may look for ward to happy results.

Alaska is part of America, and is proud of it. She asks for nothing bet ter than to be recognized as part of the greatest nation on earth and to have at least measure of the self government accorded to other parts of the country. Alaska is settled by Americans who wish to remain Ameri- cans and to be recognized as such. Al aska objects to being on the same basis as the Philippines, and the Nugget is sure tbat when congress knows what the Americans of Alaska want she will be only too glad to gratify her. Mean while the question arises, what are we after? Let the people get together on what they wish and ask for it-that's the only way to get anytbing.-Nome Nugget.

Williams Chance.
A special from Washington, D. C., to ] the Post .Intelligencer, says:

A special from Washington, D. C., to the Post. Intelligencer, says:
 Representative Tawney, of Minneso- ia, who has recently visited Alaska, called on Secretary Hitchcock today to recommend the appointment of Louis l.. Williams, of Juneau, as commission CT for Alaska to the St. Louis fair. Mir. Tawney is chairman of the house com mittee on the Louisiana purchase expo sition. He told Mir. Hitchcock that Mir. Williams was eminently fitted for the position and that he represented the conservative business interests of the territory. Although MT. Williams is a democrat, Mr. Tawney prefers him to Mir. Foote, the republican candidate. Politics, he thinks, should not rule in a case like this. Secretary Hitchcock replied that the matter was in the hands of the president. There is 8 strong feeling at the interior depart ment that the president will decide in favor of MT. Williams appointment.

 Among the improvements is one that will greatly add to the comfort of teachers and pupils, and that is storm windows, which will be put in as soon as they can be secured.
