CURRENT COMMENT
cHEERFuLNEss OF DEATH.
Nothing RepulsiVe or Terrifying in
Dissolution of Soul and Body.

| Most people, even most Christian
people, shrink from DEATH In sermons
and hymns and in literature, it is gen.
orally represented as repulsive. 1t is
spoken of as deaths cold stream" the
last enemy the dark valley of the
shadow of death" are pictured In vivid
terms. For the Christian, ut least,
this is all wrong. Death should be in
realty his best friend; welcomed rather
than feared.

TIRES RAGE
Forests Consumed by
 Confagration,

An day yesterday the forests on the side of the mountain just to the north of Lake Dewey were on fire. The fierce flames and clouds of tumbling smoke, accompanied by a constant roar ing sound, attracted the attention Of the people an the afternoon. It fur nished almost the sole topic of conyer- sation on the streets. Many and severe were the comments that were bestowed upon the fire meddlers. Some went so far as to suggest that the chamber of commerce and the city council should act tn conjunction in an attempt to put the fire out.
 Frank Bison and George w. Dillon had from ljO to POO cords of wood in the section of the mountain side burned oyer and it is supposed that it was all lost.
 Fires are also ragiugo on the Canadian side of the line. The woods are on fire from Skagway to Whitehorse. A rain storm sprung up just before midnight which it is hoped win continue long enough to put the fires out

 Besides purchasing linotype and other machinery while East, Capt. Roediger invested in several carloads of white paper to supply the News pub fishing and job printing house for the ensuing year. lc

GOOD MAN
Pope Possessed of Sense and
 Diplomacy.

According to a recent article con- tributed by F. Marion Crawford, an authority on the politics and personnel of high Catholic circles, great store of good common sense and keen diplo- macy, are the chief characteristics of the uew pope.
 Mir. Crawford has had special oppor- tunities to study the characteristics of the members of the sacred college. He was an intimate friend of Leo XIII, who named the great American author as his biographer, and what he says is worthy of credence. MT. Crawford is himself Catholic, and he takes per- sonal interest in the affairs of the church. He was supporter of either Cardinal Gotti or Cardinal S. vannu- telli for the papacy himself.
 Speaking of Cardinal Sarto, who was finally chosen for the high office, Mir. Crawford says:
 Cardinal Sarto was much talked Of in Italy when on his preferment to the Venetian patriarchate in 1893, he en- eountered determined opposition on the part of the Italian government be- fore he could take possession of his see. The government maintained that the patriarchate was part of the King of Italy's patronage, and that it was the kings right to present his own candi- date. The difficulty which ensued was in reality solved, or shelyed, because Cardinal Sarto, though chosen by the pope, was favorite with the Italian government and with King Humbert himself-a rather singular case in Italy. The cardinal has, therefore, ruled his diocese undisturbed during the last ten years, beloved by Catholics, esteemed by the government, and re- spected by his enemies. Under his sway, the Catholic institutions of Ven- ice have thriven exceedingly, and the cardinals piety. combined with his very noteworthy common sense, has given him the reputation of being an ideal bishop. He Is 6S years old, and is certainly a possible candidate, of the charitable class"

aa. Costly Experience

whitehorse, Aug. 6.-(Special cor respondence. )-Mr McMillan, White horses popular baker, returned from the new gold fields yesterday, after a very costly experience. Mir. McMillan became so foot sore while mushing out to the new fields that he became quite helpless and had to be brought to Whitehorso under the care of the mounted police. His injuries from swollen feet and legs are quite severe and 1t will be some time before he fully recovers the use of his limbs. As he was incapable of getting around while out in the new diggings he could not stake a claim.

HOME RULE
Gov Brady Against Carpet.
 Bag" Appointments.

Gov. Brady has taken stand against carpet bag rule in Alaska. In recent interview in the Seattle P.-I. he said;
 "It is true that the people of Alaska are extremely sensitive over outsiders coming to Alaska to hold office. When we take into consideration the history of federal appointments in Alaska since 1884, we see how very few have identi- fled themselves with Alaska and made 1t their home. The great majority have remained only long enough to per form their duty and get the official sal ary. Many have been known to leave on the first steamer after having been relieved from office.
 @Both of the political parties have acted alike in this regard and neither is better than the other. It is bad system from which nearly all the terri tories have suffered. But as Alaska now has class of men capable of fill ing any office in the gift of the presi. dent, all appointments should be made strictly from among the residents oi the district"
