RESOURCES OF ALASKA.
Long Neglected by coneress-Needs
Better Government.

Long Neglected by congress-Needs
Better Government.
Mr.. r. w. Jennings, of Alaska, &C
companied by his wife, is stopping fol-
a few days at the Normandie. Mr.
Jennings is an old resident of Wash
ington, who is now a prosperous at
torney of Alaska, and is here en- route
to New York. Speaking Of his adopt
ed home, Mr.. Jennings said:
Alaska has been very much neg
lected by the general Government.
It's mines, its fisheries, and its for
ests TEEN with wealth, only waiting
for capital and enterprise to develop
them. In the Alaska building, at the
ST. Louis Fair, is pyramid represent
Ing the amount which Alaska cost the
United States; by it's side is another
pyramid representing the output OF
geld from the Treadwell mine alone.
The latter is several times larger than
the former. What Alaska mostly
needs is territorial government and
a delegate in Congress.
'It is preposterous to think that
Congress can legislate intelligently
for people living 5000 miles away and
who have no representative on the
ground. In the very nature of things,
Congress cannot be intelligently adj
Vised of the wants Of the people or the
exigencies which may demand legis-
lation. Why Congress keeps Alaska
without territorial government and
without a representative is one Of the
anomalies of modern politics. No
other section of our common country
has been SO neglected.
Juneau is the center of a very rich
and extensive mining district-the
largest mine in the world being there
located. Wrangell and Ketchikan are
very busy and prosperous towns.

Cleveland by sight, having often seen
him pass with basket and rod, and,
feeling sure of his sympathy in her

Good morning, Mr.. Cleveland. I'm

But you haven't any bait on your

They won't keep still while put them

was disappointing. The lake seemed

THE ORIGIN OF suRNAMEs.
They Were First Used in Normandy
Before the Conquest.

They Were First Used in Normandy
Before the Conquest.
Neither Hebrews, Egyptians, Assyrt
ans, Babylonians, Persians nor Greeks
rad surnames and in the earliest
,eriod of their history the same may
)e said of the Romans, says the Wav-
arly Magazine. In course of time,
however, every Roman citizen had
hree names-the praenomen, or per-
'onal name; the nomen, or name of
he gems or clan, and the cognomen,
II family name, as Publius Corelius
Scipio. Conquerors were occasionally
,omplimented by the addition of a
'ourth name, or agnomen, commemor
tive of their conquest, as Publius
Cornelius Scipio. Africanus.
1t is impossible to state with any
iegree of certainty when the modern
system of personal nomenclature be-
,ame general. 1t has been stated that
he practice of surnames began in
Normandy and extended to England
litter the Norman conquest, but a
document in the Cottonian manuscript
quoted in Turner's History of the
Anglo-Saxons" contains reference to
INVITA- HATTIE, a keeper of bees in
Iathfelda; to Tate HATTIE, his daugh-
.er, mother of Wulsige the shooter,
md Lulle HATTIE, sister of Wulsige.
The date of these records Of the
Hates is not to be ascertained, but
hey were certainly written before the
year 1866. So far as antiquarians have
been able to discover HATTIE is the
irst surname whose existence can be
raced in England. 1t is not improb-
able that the founder of the HATTIE
family was SO called because Of some
unusual or noticeable headgear that
1e was in the habit of wearing.

a little time of silence In the heat.
A little time of indolent delight, -
A little sumber at her gentle feet ~
Who brings enchantment and OF light:
A little angmd dreaming in the sun,
And, ali, how simply happiness is wont
Long have we topd in dusty city ways,
To the flying form that win not turn
And bless all our bitter, strenuous days;
Long have borne with hearts that hrob and yearn,
The sting of sorrow. Ev'ry human
Has stricken us, and yet we did not know.
We did not Lnow what happy dreamers guess,
That only when the busy hands still,
And thought contents itself in deness,
Is she subservent to graspng will.
Then, twixt a slumber and a sigh, man hears
The mem'ry haunting music of the years
A little time shut in with flow RS and leaves
A little space to watch the clouds go by,
Drifting in depths of blue, and sadness leaves
The heart fresh and radiant the sky;
And she who scorn'd us when could but
Visits our hearts when they prone to sleep.
