Tho Penny SIT Up.

We are ahead Of London in some
things, far behind in others, A young
artist, who styles himself a mature
student," made study OF the sluns OF
London while abroad recently and
spent q night in what is known as the
Penny Sit-Up." His description is
wildly pathetic. This institution is for
men only. 1t consists mainly Of large
shed, With row after row Of benches
having high backs. The inmates pay n
penny each, for which sum they have
the privilege OF sitting up all night and
sleeping with their heads resting on
their folded arms which are supported
In turn by the backs Of the benches In
front OF them. AT midnight the place
is crowded a!mcst to suffocation. Each
sitter is allowed sixteen inches of
bench. It must indeed be horrible 10
sleep in that posture night after night.
! do not see how one could obtain any
actual rest or relaxation. AS a matter
OF fact there can be no rest without
relaxation. Many persons have heart
affection that would surely kill them
IL they slept in an upright position.
while others suffer from shortness OF
breath whenever they lie down. 1t is a
queer old humanity.-New York Press.

Can 1t be that the hot roasted pea
nut Is destined to be to France what
the baked bean Is to Boston? Strange
things have been unoarthed by the
State Department, hut none stranger
than that the Yankees pet fruit is
rapidly becoming the Frenchman's per-
petual delight.
The American "goober' has already
stormed the French vaudeville theatres
and opera houses, and the lHtest adj
vices declare that It Is successfully
holding the fort against all corners.
The floors OF popular restaurants are
carpeted with the shells, and the walks
In the public grounds are specified with
the shucks.

bags Of the American daiRty and loud
~ called for more. The merry note Of
the roaster's whlstle is heard on the
street corner, and every day is circus
day over there.
1t seems, however, that plebeian
product from Africa Is having the
audacity to question Americas SUI
premacy as the peanut country of the
world. 1t is cheap, this African pea
nut, and on that score it appeals to a
frugal and discriminating public.
But cultivated taste declares unre-
servedly for the American nut, re-

 Caribou, Sept, ?, 1903. Sporting Editor Daily Alaskan:
 To decide an argument please answer the following question;
 1.-the master of a steamer desires his ship to go to starboard, what order would he give to the quartermasster, and which way would the wheel be turned in the pilot house. Does the same rule apply to all ships and all places. J. M.

A BIG BEAR

There Is a quiet joke going on among the soldiers. Wednesday night two of the three soldiers who are staying at the target grounds came to the city for supplies. The third was left to keep guard on the tent and cook tarpaulin When the two soldiers returned yester- day morning a big bear had possession of the cooking place and was calmly and contentedly taking in things. The soldier was in his tent fast asleep, so the story goes. Bruin got away before the soldiers were able to get bead on him, but they are now looking for the bear and steak win be had if he puts In appearance.
 For the past two weeks those out berry picking have seen bears and scampered for home. Last Sunday a hand car party saw a good sized bruin just around the Poreupine hill curve.

A PREVAILING IMPRESSION.

An idea prevails among the people of Alaska that the purpose actuating the chairman of the scnate's committee on territories in appointing a sub-cOmmit- tee Co tour this district was to tormu' late a showing Co present at the next session Of congress that would kill any movement that might tend Co establish a territorial government in this dis trict Whether there is any justice al the bottom ot this belief or not time alone can show. To certainly did no, require a journey to Alaska Co demon- strate Co the gentlemen of the sub committee that the corporate Interests that are fattening from the eNploita- tion of the country arc averse to any state Of affairs that win tend to give incentive Co traffic. commerce or indus try in opposition Co their aIairs in this country. To Is but natural that they should desire Co avert the extension oi the interstate commerce commission Co this devoted country as long as pos slble. The possibility oi mine inspec- tion, the inquiry into the profits fnan- ces and manipulations of extra terri torial corporations by the newly ereat- ed department ot commerce is not rel i,hed by directories whose sioekhold- CTS, patronage and eNigeacies keep them between the devil and the deep blue sea The heavy importing liquor interests are quite complacent over a state ot affairs that, by a prohibitive license. precludes an but the multi millionaire companies from domestic jobbing, and the great brewing inter ests are satisfied with a condition that all Out forbid, Alaskan brewing. Every cormorant engaged in the sucking of the eountry's blood, the peryersion Of its resources and the transmission of iis wealth southward, are averse to any change that might compel them to leave a portion of their plunder in the country.
 The splendid lobby maintained by these companies at Washington, the senatorial and official shareholders Of these corporations and the numerous government emmissaries that have been wined and dined at the hands of their agents, could have informed these mighty senators in an these premises

 The liberation oi the slaves in Dixie, the protection of forests, fish and game; laws against selling iutoSicants to In- dians, morphiates to drug deuds, .the sweating Of children an acts tending towards advancement and decency have been quite ruinous to certain vested interests. AM such legislation has, however, increased the wealth of the nation regardless that the interests thriving upon the ruin or injustice they involved went Co hell where they be- longed.
 10 is now pertinent for the people of Alaska to throw oG the awsome spell that has so far chilled them into inac- tivity and to call things by their exact proper names. It Is timely to show the world the character oi the people who have dubbed those as "cheap politicians who have been goaded into an effort to bring about better state Of aiIairs.'
