REASON WHY
Alaskans Might Send a Thug
 to Represent Them.

Col. ]. W. lvev. 10 O personal letter Co a Sksgwav friend writes the following about a contingent Of the Alssk 10 delegation:
 "There Is an underground lobby at work here attempting to defeat Alaska legislation especially the delegate bill. They claim that the people of Alaska are not to be tr1sted to elect a delegate, or to enter upon self government. lf l had the lime to write you all the misrepessnJaIlons and Insults to our country and our citizens which have heard since coming here, and which has been put In the mouths of con- grsssmen by these hlrelIngs Of the corpcr- allons doing business ln Alaska, you would feel like putting on your fighting clothes, and taking a hand for the honor of the good name of our people. even leart a congressman say, ''lf we were given a de- legate, we would send thug down here to represent us." Many people here be- lleve that the armv which has been sent to Alaska, Is our only protection against robbery, riot and blOOdshsd, So you can sec that a large amount of missionary work Is necessary, ln order to teach our legislators what lt Is thsIr duty to know now"

The limit on the cost of paving is

that sum. Nearly all of the paving Pc
titions specify that the paving shall
cost not over SLe5. and the city engi-
uc.r also fixes this price in his estl-
mates. But the contraC tors say that

LOG CABINS MIXED.
Those of Lincoln and JEFF Davis in
One.


New York, March 23.-By an odd in
cident the cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln was born and another cabin of
logs which was associated with the life
of jefferson Davis, have become mixed
up, and timbers of both structures now
make up single building. The revela-
ton OF this fact came about through
the efforts of the Rev DR. Hills, pastor
of Plymouth church. to add to the
Beecher memorial fund.
Dr. Hills and those associated with
him in the Beecher memorial movement
made arrangements for Lincoln
evening in Plymouth church tomorrow
night and Benjamin Chaplin, the student
and lmperSOnatOr of Lincoln. was en-
gagged to tell the story Of Lincoln's life
from the platform.
In order that there might be an add
ed touch of realism to the entertain
ment it was decided to obtain fer the
evening the little log cabin in which
Lincoln was born and have it set up in
the church parior- The cabin is the
one which was on exhibition at the
an-American exposition at Buffalo.
The owners of the cabin declared they
would be glad to lend it If It were all
the Lincoln cabin, but they said that as
a matter of fact. the structure which
is at present in Coney Island, is a com
bination of the hut in which the great
emancipation was born ana the Davis
cabin.
The original Lincoln cabin. said one
of the owners, had been purchased by
d restaurant man from coIored
preacher named Bingham at Nplin
Creek, Larue county, Ky. He loaned #
for exhibition purposes to the managers
of the Nashville exhibition and after
ward stored it in the cellar of a small
restaurant on the Bowery. Ia the same
cellar he stored a log cabin connected
with some historical incident in the life
Of Jefferson Davis. the president of the
Confederacy When they We're brought
out the movers mixed the <imbers. It
is hoped to straighten them out
