TRIES TO DECEIVE.

Alan election held in Skagway re- cently Co elect delegates to territor- ial convention only eighteen votes were cast. Six ot those were by the dele gates themselves while six oi the re- maining twelve were by the alternates. Juneau Record-Miner.
 The point attempted Co be made by the Juneau tory organ is that the peo- pie Of Skagway do no, want territorial government Ot course it knows they are very much in favor Of it, but that does not matter-with the Record Miner.
 Asa natter ot fact everybody here knows land ,he Juneau tory organ knows it. tool, that the cause for the light vote at the delegate election was that the result was a foregone conelu- sion. There was only one ticket in the field, ,o which there was no opposition Just ln the same way less than 9OO peo- pie in Seattle, a city O. approximately l5O.OOO inhabitants, voted several hun dred thousand dollar, in bonds a short time since. Eyc-y body was t. favor Of the proposition and everybody knew that eyerybody else favored it.
 Had any opposition, Q; any kind whatever, been developed .u this city, there would have been several hundred majority voted for territorial govern ment, as there was when a straw ballot was taken on che subject some time ago.
 Twice before, ,u the preser; year, had the people Of ,hi, city gone on rec ord on the subject at mass meetings, and it was known that there 's not more than a haltJo-eu people in thc city opposed Co territorial -.. rument.

There is one young man in town who,
in the opinion of his friends, possesses
a throat which is not over-sensitiye.
70 say the least and their opinion is
based upon an experience which he
underwent a short time since. One of
the friends takes his meals at one of
the up town restaurants, and is in the
habit of having his supper ready on the
table when he comes in at 6 o'clock.
Oftentimes the supper bill inclL rs a
couple of delicious hermits, ara the
first named young man, who sJme-
times goes into the restaurant - wait
for his car, has acquired the habit of
appropriating one or both of the her
mits for his own use. OF course, the
friend was too much of gentleman
to rebel at the freedom of the other
fellow, but he resolved quietly to play
a joke on him as gentle reminder.
Accordingly one night, when the her
mits Were placed upon the table the
top one had its under side generously
smeared with tobasco sauce. And in
order to be on hand to see the fun, the
friend came earlier than usual. Now,
everyone knows that tobasco sauce is
about as hot a mixture as is generally
taken into the human stomach, and the
conspirators awaited the arrival of
their victim with considerable specua-
ton as to the result of their joke.
Pretty soon he sauntered in, and afer
a few words with the man at the table,
picked UP the doctored hermit, and
calmly commenced to devour it. The
others watched him, aghast, and even
e.ltp Ia
gone out, none of them could see just
where the place to laugh came in. The
next day they asked him about it, and
after wondering a few moments as TO
what they We're coming at, hesIowyre-1
marked: There. now that you speak
of il, l do remember that just us | got
on to the car. I thought that hermit
tasted rather funny.
