Journalists of Russia have to submit Go 0 censorship that is not only galling, but robs the press of all independence and every vestige of power. The jour nals there cannot say what they think. The mere news matter must all pass under the eye of some nincompoop ap- pointed by bureau, without any re- gard for qualifications. There are cer- tain legitimate topics that may not be touched upon all. Thus the only papers possessing any virility have to be print ed in secret, and for the the promoters to be discovered means new batch for Siberia.

In Grave Danger.

The P.-I. of the 20th inst says: Both the Alaska homestead bill and the AL aska delegate bill are in grave danger of failure unless su ubstantial concessions are made by persons who are opposed to certain features in both measures. <,
 Representative Lacey, chairman of the house committee on public lands, declares he will defeat the homestead bill unless the senate conferees aban- don the senate amendment prohibiting the entry of soldiers script under the provisions of the pending measure. He declares it would be great injustice to allow the senate provision to stand, and that be will see the whole bill de- feated before he will yield this point.
 The senate committee on territories held meeting today to discuss the delegate bill. It developed during the meeting that nearly every member is opposed to the method of holding cleo tions in Alaska, as provided by both the Cushman bill and the Beveridge bill. Had it not been for the absence of two or three senators definate action would have been taken on the bill to- day. This action will probably be the reporting of an amendment to the Cushman bill striking out almost every thing except the enacting clause and providing for the appointment of the delegate by committee instead of his election by the people. The proposed committee is to consist of the governor of Alaska, the surveyor general, who is secretary of the territory ex-oficio, and the judges of the three federal district courts. It looks as if this would be taken at the next meeting of the com mittee.

DRAGONS DANCE.
A Social Fanction of the Highest or der Given as Compli ment to
 their Friends and
 Acquaintances.

On Monday evening, Feb. 23d, the Exalted Order of Deacous, held their sSecond Annual Good Time" at the Natatorium Hall in this city. It was attended by about 400 people and as an event will long be remembered as the greatest affair of the kind ever given in Alaska.
 The large hall, illuminated by the glare of hundreds of incandescent lights, softened by Japanese lanterns, was almost gaudily decorated with the colors of the order, yellow and black, and the colors of the nation. Down from the center of the stage hung a large banner, inscribed with the letters "E. O. D." The nicely waxed floor was in splendid condition. An orchestra of five pieces, under the leadership of Prof. Carl Strom furnished lovely music. A smoking room, furnished with card tables, was provided for those who preferred that form of amuse- ment. At booth nearby iced drinks were served to the thirsty by the ac- commodating Phil. F. Thom. A corner of the hall was provided with boxes where under the superintendence ot Mir. Daniel Webster, coats, hats &c were taken care of for the guests.
 At the proper hour the stage curtain was raised displaying rows of neatly set tables on which tasty lunch was spread, under the supervision of Mir. Mackie of the Owl Restaurant. In fact everything was complete for the comfort and convenience of the guests as they assem- bled, that all might enjoy the occasion.
 At 9:3O o'clock the grand march form ed on, led by Arch Deacon R. J. Willis and Miss Elizabeth McKanna, imme- diately followed by the Deacons and their ladies, the Deaconesses, and tue patronesses. And from that on the festivities proceeded merrily until a program of 20 numbe had been com pleted, besides few extras.
 Neat programs, ornamented on the title page with an embossed crab-an emblem of the order-were provided. The 'scrab" also formed part of the decorations on the wall.
 The ladies were costumed most ex- Quisitely, many of them-as a compli- ment to the order-wearing gowns of yellow and black.
 The gentlemen wore the convention al black and it was the exception to see anything less pretentious than a Prince Albert or full dress suit.
 A large delegation attended from Juneau, two trips of the ferry being required to bring them all over.
 About 3 o'clock the strains of the @Home, Sweet Home" waltz marked the conclusion of very gay and happy time.
 The patronesses of the occasion were: Mrs. H. R. Shepard, Mrs. l. H. Moore, Mrs. E. J. N. Ott, Mrs. w. L. Harrison, Mrs. T. A. Tubbs, Mrs. P. H. Fox, Mrs. J. T. Spickett.

F. Collier, master Of the hounds Of the
Monmouth County q. J.) Hunt club.
What a stunning rider you would
make, Miss Pomeroy." said Mr.. Collier
TO her one day.
The conversation that followed
aroused her interest She decided to
try riding and Mr. Collier offered to
coach her. lie has never fewer than
20 hunters ia his stable in Eaton
town, n. j., and every one of them
is imported from ireland. Few know
as much about the game and not one
| is more fearless than the white
| haired man who seems younger in
the field than most of those who fol-
low him.
She became enthusiastic in the
sport, and in less than year she has
| become one of the best women cross
country riders in the country.
Miss Pomeroy mas achieved note in
other lines of sport. She took up re-
volver shooting and became remark
ably proficient. About the same time
she took up fencing, and she prac-
ticed and studied as if her future de-
pended upon her mastery of the foils.
Her instructor said Of her:
Undoubtedly Miss Pomeroy is the
best woman tencer in the United
States. She fences in the right style
and is capable of fencing with any
man, no matter how expert, without
expecting that favor be shown her
because she is a woman. There is
the strength of a man in her Juno
like arm when she wields the foil
and the science of an expert fencer
beside. Every movement she makes
is one of grace, suppleness, and
strength. Her endurance IS remark
able"
When she took mp swimming she
also showed great ability, and for
several years she has been one of the
strongest of the women swimmers at
Newport. She has won many races.
Miss Pomeroy has gained distinc-
ton as a bfE game hunter. Her ex.
ploit in Colorado in killing a bear
gave her wide fame. The expedition
was planned bv Mrs, StuyveSant Fish.
The guests were taken to Colorado in
q private train. The party made its
headquarters at Glenwood Springs.
Tt was four miles north of there. in
June, 1899, that the dogs overlook a.
black bear and her three cubs. Miss
Pomeroy was in the van Of the hunt
erS- They found that the bear had
retreated down a deep ravine. and to
follow they had to diSmount. Miss
Pomeroy was first on the scene, and
she dispatched the bear as it was
about to attack her. 1t was the big
gest bear killed in Colorado that
year.

Gently he saw d bear in the distance.
1t was too far away to permit a
shot, and as he gradually worked his
way toward Bruin he saw a good
sized turkey drinking from a small
stream, and near the turkey stood a
pheasant. The gunner had visions
of all kinds of game and for q mo-
ment he stood and tried to think out
some plan whereby he could at least
get more than one out Of the three.
While he was doing the figuring the
turkey and pheasant flew toward the
bear.

GOATS FURNISH THE MILK.
The People of Malta Derive Their
Entire supply Of IsacteaI Fluid
from the Animals.

The population of the island of
Malta, situated in the Mediterranean
sea, amounting To some 100000 souls,
derives its entire milk supply from
the goat herds that abound in that
little speck of rock. 10 is estimated
that there are about 10000 goats on
tie island There are no regular
grazing fields for goats, but every
morning the herds are driven out
along the roads and hillsides, where
they pick up whatever they can find
n the way of weeds or any other
edible matter. which. however, sci
1om includes grass. This is supple
mented by carob beans when the
herd is driven back To shelter at
night.
How the Maltese goat can give the
quantity and quality of milk which.
il does upon this food is "a matterI
Of frequent conjecture and it is out
Of the question % get anything but
thin and watery milk from cows unI

goat produces AZ piuts of milk per.
day and the animals cost from $40

to be made by the natives to pre-
serve strains, but, nevertheless, the
Maltese goat manages to keep up its
reputation for looks and productive.

SHE WAS AMBITIOUS.
Not to Shine in Society, But to Be-
come an Expert Rider.
And in Order 10 Crafty This Extrsor-
dinaFy Desire Popular New-
port Girl Delayed We'd
ding for over "A Year.

One of the most curious excuses
given by a woman for delaying her
marriage is that of Miss Greta Pome-
roy, an amateur fencer and hunts
woman of some note, who told her
fance, Philip Clark, she could not
marry him until she had become an
expert cross country rider.
Miss Pomeroy's engagement to Mr..
Clark was announced at Newport a
year ago by her mother, Ms. Coolidge
POmeroy, OF 800 West avenue,
New York. As the time went on and
no cards for the wedding were issued
there was much speculation IS to the
reasons for the delay. Now. says the
New York World, il is understood the
marriage is 10 take place soon, and
with the news of The forthcoming cere-
mIOny comes the story of Miss Pome-
roy's extraordinary reason for delay
ing the event.
She formed an ambition to become a
proficient rider TO hounds before she
became engaged TO Mr. Clark. When
-'-~ r. AAA-aeeA w AiltLA lAiALl IL was III
the secret understanding so it is said,
that the wedding should not take
place until she had fulfilled this am
bition. At that time She did not think
it would take as long as it has taken.
She had gained preemiuence in other
branches Of sport so easily, she had
made such rapid progress in horse
manship that she thought she could
quickly gain leadership among wom-
en- in cross country riding.
Expert cross country riders agree
that it generally takes "a man tenyears
of constant experience during the
hunting season To acquire those things
which make a perfect rider to hounds.
Miss PomerOy had never ridden much
and had never followed the hounds IN
til five years ago. She had been occu-
pied with other things. Cross country
riding was first suggested to her by p.
