A Christening.

One of the happiest affairs that has taken place in Douglas for some time was at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Anton
 V. Lindstrom, on Thursday evening last, at which a number of the friends of the family gathered to witness the christening of the daughter Esther Wi oli Sophia. Rev. J. A. Levin of1ciated, and MT. and Mrs. August Johnson, Mir. Axel Holmquist and Miss Hilda Bru- nell filled the positions of godfathers and godmothers. The occasion was al- so the wedding anniversary of Mir. and Mrs. Lindstrom. After the christening ceremony the hostess served a dinner to the assembled guests, that was much enjoyed, after which the merrymaking continued until late hour. Among those present were MT. and Mrs. Au- guet Johnson, Mir. and Mrs. Thompson, Mesdames A. Lilystrand, Chas. Peter son, Jackson, Gustavson, Miller, Rev. J. A. Levin, Axel Holmquist, Miss Hil- da Brunell and Miss Vckeng.

A Few Questions.
DOUGLAS, ALASKA, Sept. 8th, 19l

DOUGLAS, ALASKA, Sept. Sth, 1903. EDITOR NEws:-Is there Republican Club on Douglas Island, or are there two in Juneau, or prospectively another Republican Club either on Douglas Is- land or in Juneau?
 I would like to join one, but don't like to join one that announces the name of it's candidate for President more than one year before the election of President.
 I understand that the Roosevelt Club in Juneau was organized in a meeting without previous public notice, by few office holders and some out siders, in all less than twelve, the name Roosevelt given to it, and then Repub' licans invited to join.
 admire Roosevelt in some respects, not all, but think political club for a campaign for the election of delegates to national convention for nominat- ing President, should not be named Roosevelt by few ofice-holders hold ing office under Roosevelt.
 REPUBLICAN.

Politics.

A call for a republican delegate con- vention, to meet in Juneau on Nov. 10th, to nominate delegates to the Ma tional Republican Convention, not yet called, appeared in the Juneau Dispatch last Saturday, and few copies have been quietly passed around to mem- bers of the party. The press generally has not been invited to give the matter publicity. It is evident that it is the intention of the projectors of the scheme to keep it asHquiet as possible. There are many things which might be said of the eapportionment of delegates, which is manifestly unjust and unfair. As an example, Douglas and Treadwell each have 1, while Juneau is given 10. If the republican party of Alaska wishes to trust it's fortunes in so small a craft as is indicated by the first ven- ture of these over cautious leaders, there are many Alaskans who will re- fuse to embark. The above statement is made after conversing with republi- cans who voted for Lincoln and Grant, and who have followed the banner of the republican party faithfully and without faltering ever since.
 If congress should grant us terri torial form of government, in the near future, which we have good reasons to believe it will, politics will become matter of more interest, and there is no doubt that the republicans of the territory will very quickly repudiate some of those who now pose as leaders of the party.

Against the Fee System.
Among the many other reforms for which
Mayor Johnson is contending in the present
compaign is a return from the fee 10
straight salary system for county officers.
Under the fee system these officers are
able to secure large compensation, much
larger than any legislature would allow as
a straight salary. There is strong popular
sentiment in favor of the abolition OF the
fee system, and Johnson was likely to re-
ceive strong support on the issue; but there
was a development yesterday that is likely
to lead people to think that Johnson is not
sincere in this matter. The law requires
that each county auditor file with the au-
ditor of state annually a sworn statement
of the amount OF compensation of all kinds

AT THE CHURCH.
The Scene When Insane Man Saw the
President.

Mr.. l. B. Dodson of the firm of Dodson
& Hodgson, 1924 II street northwest was
on the sidewalk near the Grace Memorial
Reformed Church on 18th street Sunday
afternoon when Peter Elliott, the lunatic
who created a scene at the White House
Monday, shook hands with President Roose-
velt Mr. Dodson stated to reporter of
The Star today that upon leaving church
Sunday morning he walked down 18th
street. when he noticed a crowd of people
gathering in front of the President s
church.
AS he had never seen the President Mr.
DodSon decided to take advantage of the
opportunity to see him as he left the church.
He walked across the alley which runs
alongside the church, and took a position
against the iron fence of the house at that
point. Mr.. Dodson had been standing there
but few moments when he felt some one
push against him from the side The
stranger Mr. Dodson has since identified
| from the photograph in The Star as the
lunatic. After standing there q short time
| Elliott, addressing Mr.. Dodson, said:
Il would like to the President"
Il guess he will be out in few minutes
am standing here to see him aIso, replied
Mr.. Dodson.
Where did Mckinley attend church?" in
quired the lunatic.
"On Az street." replied Mr.. Dodson
Mckinley was a Methodist" ventured
Elliott.
Yes believe he was" Mr. Dodson
| agreed.
II have seen McKinley's church There
are two churches on Az street, but know
which one he attended, and wanted to see
Mr.. Roosevelt's church." said Elliott.
They are now singing the last hymn of
the service. If you wish to see him, wait;
he will be out in few moments, If he at
tended church this morning" observed Mr.
Dodson.
"At this juncture President Roosevelt ap-
peared at the door of the church. and as
| the crowd raised their hats" Mr. Dodson
stated. 1i --T
Elliott" continued Mr.. sDodson, clipped
his hat with his left hand, turned abruptly
| around and stepped toward the President
with his hand extended. The President ac-
cepted the proffered hand. and as he did
SO Elliott, in tone slightly louder than
that used in ordinary conversation ex-
claimed: President Roosevelt Elliott then
uttered several words in a foreign lam
guage. The President did not stop, and
when Elliott had completed his sentence
he replied Thank you. The President had
| then walked about four feet. and as the
crowd closed in lost sight of Elliott
II noticed nothing QUITO the ordinary
| in Elliotts demeanof until the President
walked down the stebs>ef the church, and
| then thought 1t rather Strange that he
| should approach the President in such a
manner. l also thought 'afterward that If
| Elliott had been disposed to kill the Presi-
| dent he could have done 1t as he extended
his hand in greeting. No one seemed to
be present to prevent such deed Two
men whom l took to be secret service de-
| tectives were standing across the alley
| talking to policeman.
