Another light in aid to naviga tion is
 soon to be displayed in Southeastern
 Alaska waters. Notice is given by the
 lighthouse board that on April 30
 fixed white light of the third order,
 Illuminating 216 degrees of the horizen,
 will be established in the structure
 now being completed on the westerly
 extremity of Tree point, easterly side
 of the southerly entrance to ReVilla
 gigedo channel, and about four miles
 to the northward and westward of
 Cape Fox.
 Gov. Brady is a most resourceful man. His latest developed mood has
 brought forth the idea of grand fish feed for the people at the St. Louis Fair on Alaska Day. The Taku and other canning companies will be asked to furnish the fish. If, because of overcrowding, the supply at St. Louis should run short, Brady will have few totem pole Indians on hand, who will impart the fish smell, and that is usually enough for any ordinary mortal. Such is greatness.
 A statement recently made by Mayor Barnette and Clerk Spring of the city of Fairbanks claims population of 200O for the mining district of which their city is the center. They also say that the population is gaining in num- bers very rapidly, and that the big companies are preparing for popula tion exceeding 5000 before next winter. If these estimates are approximately correct, Fairbanks is easily of first importance among the American towns in the interior.

The main shaft has been sunk to depth of about 300 feet, and the ore is of the finest kind, the ore in the rock being often visible to the naked eye. About 40 men are employed on the claim. Mir. Williams will return to the mine today.

R. bill of sale and got 1is S2O00. That gives MT. Reid full possession of the best hotel building n Alaska, and makes him king of all le surveys in that particular part of own-wharf, warehouses and all. It vas certainly good buy, and it re- moves another knot from the Reid & Sylvester entanglement-Sentipel.

HUMAN HDA RTS."

This pretty play from the pen of Hal Reid had its first prest-- .ation at Polrs S last evening and made a very favora- ble impression. It Is being played again this afternoon before a large au- dience and will be played again this evening and tomorrow. Human Hearts'' is really excellent play and is well presented by MT Nankeville's company. 1t Is rich in Incident, in it's variety of characters and stage set. tings. and furnishes story that fingers in asse memory long after the curtain has gone down on the play. The spec tator is carried into the delightful at mosphere of life in the hills of Arkan- sas. The trouble which falls upon the simple folk of the Logan farm re- minds ohe Of the line, 'the trail of the serpent" The beautiful and touching denoument, however, bears it's lesson. Wait!

FRANK DANIELS.

The sale. of seats will open to-mor- row morning for Frank Daniels in "The Office Boy'' Monday evening at Polls. and 1t promises to open up brisk ly owing to the unusual interest that is felt in this particular attraction. It must be remembered that the entire production, complete in every detail of cast and equipment, will be brought here direct from New York, where 1t finishes nine weeks run at the Vie toria theater tomorrow evening. It should be remembered also that this has been one of the genuine New York successes this season, making money of large size while attractions right alongside of it have been failures, and no better recommendation of the merits of the attraction could be offered than this fact which is of common knowl- edge. Waterbury has been hungry for some of these high class attractions. and our show-g goers will no doubt turn in large numbers to sec '"The Office Boy" Prices are 25 30, 75 cents, $1 and $15O.

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
Question of It's Imdentity Has Been am Unsettled OMe for Many
 Ages.

sWhat was the Star of Bethlehem ?" is a question that has puzzled mankind for many ages, writes Garrett P Serviss, in Everybody's Magazine. Many believe that it may have been a perfectly nat ural phenomenon, unusual enough to deceive the Magi into the belief of a miraculous sign. The reappearances of the planet Venus are separated by in- tervals of 5S4 days. The date of Christ's birth Is not certainly known within four years, and 1t is entirely possible that, when the birth occurred, the planet Venus may have been nearing her brightest phase as an evening star. To the Magi travelling across the desert toward the west she would have ap- peared every evening shining with ex- traordinary splendor in the direction of Palestine, growing brighter as they ap- preached. If their arrival in Palestine coincided nearly with the period of her inferior conjunction with the sun, she would be at her brightest when they neared the mountains of the Holy Land would seem early in the evening to touch the nearby horizon where Beth lehem lay, as if to indicate to them that there was the end of their journey, and very shortly after their arrival would disappear from the sky, being swal- lowed in the overpowering rays of the sun. The nature of Venus might easily have been unknown to the Wise Men. '' Their wisdom was doubtless of spec ulative, metaphysical and mythical character, which would readily accept as miraculous an unusual phenomenon that seemed to have some special rela- tion to themse1yes
