His brother Is At torney Anthony Spinnello and his sis- ter is the wife of Dr. Nicola Mariana |of 175 Chestnut street. His mother re- sides with her daughter, Mrs. Mariana. |. The family are prostrated with grief, the first intimation of the sad affair being received from Dean Wright of Yale, who received telegram last evening.
 Professor Spinnello was born in San Disenio, Italy, October 23, 1873. He came to this city when he was 16 years old, and went into the barber business with his brother, Anthony While em- ployed in this business he studied and prepared himself for Yale with the Rev Dr. Mitchell who was then pastor of the Grand Avenue Congregational church. He graduated from the aca- dennis department of Yale in 1896, and then took a postgraduate course, re- ceiving the degree of A. M After this Mir Spinnello went to St. Johns school at Manlius, N. Y, where he. taught Greek and Latin. He remained there over year and then went abroad to complete his studies. He entered the University of Bohn in Germany, and when about to get a special degree he was taken suddenly i'll and had to go to France. While there he entered a university and learned the French lan- guage thoroughly.
 
 Returning to this country about two years ago he married Miss Alice Be- woon of Syracuse, N.

Ross Minard went IS miles up the Yukon to place that swarmed with rabbits year ago, but saw never one the whole day. Eleven squirrels placed him one point ahead of Kris Falkenberg, the low man. The Mayo boys were high favorites with many, but failed to come up to expectations. Cowan and Allger were both looked to for better scores. Stadelman was a tavorite. but was not expected to nearly tie the whole opposing side. Kris Falkenberg and Dr. Hudgin hunted together, ard the great disparity i'll their scores is the more remar kable for this fact. Judge Green ard Sam Heeter went oil horseback. The judge accounts for his small score by saying there were but few rabbits where he went. and MT. Heeter cCrroborates the state ment. Al Paxon and Walter Sund- berg hunted together and told no tales. Johnny Wiehl started out with Ross Minard, but they became separated and Johnny dropped down onto Chicago creek and made the second best killing of the day.
 The party will take supper at the Reception restaurant next Saturday night.

A STR AY IN HIS
 HISTORY LESSON

Miss Parke has very coZy quarters indeed for the school, now that it has been transferred to the Stoel cabin. Nice desks and large black boards give the place good ap- Learance. Miss Parke says the native attendants are very bright and quick 10 learn. but are handi capped to a certain extent by their total ignorance of the people and objects mentioned i'll the school books. To overcome this obstacle as far as possible, she makes free use of pictures, and especially tries to interest them in matters relating to United States history, which is hari for them to comprehend. Recently, according to custom, she began the lesson in history by ex- hibiting portraits of prominent characters. Holding up a picture of Lincoln, she asked:

the most necessary things to the country's development; and last, but not least, the statement of MT. Roberts at the American mining congress at Portlan1 recently--in view of all this and the pressure being brought to bear from other directions, we have every assurance that the matter will have an early consideration at the hands of con- gross, and, we hope, meet with success.
 MT. Roberts at Portland said that Alaska is richer in gold and other minerals than any other coun- try he had ever seen, and he pre- dicted for it a most brilliant future. He also said that it was the most neglected part of our country ill the affairs of state, and that be thought it should receive consideration at the hands of the general govern ment and tlat Alaska should be allowed delegation in congress.
 'It is the almost unanimous opinion that Alaska should have three delegates instead of one for the country contains three distinct and separate sections, each with interests distinct and separate. There IS the southeastern part, with interests distinctly local: the Cen tral part. as far as Cooks Inlet, whose interests, climatic conditions and topography are entirely dis tlnct from those of the others: and there is the other part. extending into the Boring Sea. These should therefore really be three represent aiises. bu, we would all be glad [, have even one granted io the wbols of Alaska. to bv either elective ol appoinsive. as congress sees at.

change for small silver. Ii might he
