St. Patrick's Day.

Last Thursday was St. Patrick's Day, "the day we celebrate" and it was generally observed on the Island. Each person had his own peculiar style of observing it; some few thought the only proper way was the good old Irish way of drinking Irish whiskey, and others thought that "down with the Irish" was the only way, and they both obtained the same results.
 The dance in the evening at the Nat atorium, given by the Douglas liar mony Band, was great success. Every thing had been done to make things pleasant.
 The floor had been planed and sand papered and waxed until it was in fine shape for dancing and some even found it difficult to stay upon their feet.
 The music was the best ever, con- sisting of Prof. Strom on the violin, Donovan, piano, Meyers, clarionet, Miller, cornet, assisted at different times by the band boys. When such music starts up some dreamy waltz or lively two-step it would start anyone dancing. The band played the Grand March and two-step, the two-step was the "Wearing of the Green" and other Irish tunes, and every Irish heart beat faster and every Irishman was carried back in fancy to the Emerald Isle.
 It is unnecessary to add that the ladies were handsome and good dancers, for that goes without saying, but it really did seem that every lady was a beauty and all prize dancers.
 The dancing kept up until some time in the morning, and everyone went home fully convinced that "St. Patrick was gentleman" and they would be willing to dance several times year in honor of him.

Next Wednesday Night.

The Douglas Base Ball Team needs money, not to make them individually rich, but to purchase much needed par aphernalia to play ball with. This fact alone is sufficient to arouse the interest of Douglas people.
 Now the boys don't want to beg the money, but they are preparing to give an entertainment and ball on next Wednesday evening, at the Natatorium, and they ask and should receive lib eral patronage.
 The Douglas Base Ball Team are win ners. They were last year, and with the proper encouragement will be this year. The boys are willing to devote their time and energies to the task; they take the roasts when they fail, and nurse the bruises and broken bones without a murmur, and they put up rattllng good game of ball for the entertain ment of the people who enjoy the great national game. A ticket will only cost 50 or 75 cents, and you will get your moneys worth in the show, and at the same time help the boys that much. It's easy, try it.

Fire Insurance.

Our community has passed through an exciting time; fear of fire, has caused a nervous strain not easily forgotten. The city fathers are deserving of much credit for the able manner in which they met the situation. Praise un- stinted should also be given to the brave and faithful volunteer fire de- partnient, for good work done. Some mention should be made to tue credit of our resident fire insurance agent MT. John Henson, who less than one year ago secured the agency for this district of two old and tried companies, the "Westchester of New York" and the Williamsburg of Brooklyn. These companies were through the efforts of Mir. Henson induced to do business in Alaska for the first time, and one of their first losses in Alaska was made by the burning of the Treadwell Y. M. c. A., and it certainly speaks we'll for these companies that they were the first companies to authorize their agent to settle claims in full, for both the Y. M. c. A. and also MT. James Christoe's loss, and the added fact that these two companies lost, less than six weeks ago over s325,ooO in the Balti- more fire, shows the strength of these two old line companies after business career of over three quarters of a century. We predict that they will cut a wide swath in the fire insurance business in Alaska in the future.

 And things that are green-she was green. Put stone at her head and stone at her Y. feet

A Cereal Story.

The refreshing part of 4 story which
the New York Times %recounts is not
the stupidity of man in his domestic
aspect. The particular man concerned
is an actor whose wife-an actress-is
an earnest advocate of the theory that
food should fit the consumer rather
than the reverse. Consequently there
are periods when milk flows incessant-
ly through the household menu. Again
it is hot water, and at other times
nuts, fruit and grains alone are relied
upon to nourish genius to its finest
flower.
Once, in the grain age, the wife was
called away to a rehearsal that was
likely to last we'll into the afternoon.
She told her husband that he would
have to get his own luncheon, and he
cheerfully consented to do it.
II had q fine meal on your new GER
eal," he said, when she returned.
what do you mean!' she inquired.
II haven't any new cereal in the
house"
"Why. that nutty sort of stuff you
left on the dining-room table"
The wife sat down suddenly. you've
eaten up my window garden" she
walled. "All my petunia, nasturtium
and pansy seeds"

Getting Rid of Pests.

also effective.
Ants and Roaches-Powdered borax
scattered in their haunts is a sure
cure" One %teaspoonful Of tartar

sugar, and put where ants are trouble
some, will drive them away in a day.
Fleas-These may be driven away
by scattering either lime or cayenne
pepper in the places which they fire.
quent. Oil of pennyroyal is also good.
Moths-These may be prevented by
the use of moth-balls, or bags made Of
crushed lavender and lemon-verbena
with clover and other puLgent spice.
Powdered boraX, camphor and cedar
dust are all effective.
Flies and Mosquitoes-The best pre-
ventive is tight screens and constant
vigilance. Mosquitoes dislike lavender
and green walnut. Fly paper is made
as follows: Take equal parts of melted
resin and castor oil, and spread while
warm Oh strong, thick paper. Or use
four ounces Of quassia chips boiled in
one pint of water. When cold strain,
then add water to make onc pint, and
two ounces of alcohol. Sweeten with
sugar, and pour in saucer.-Woman's

The No-Bar Liquor Sh Fps.

The worst evil to-day existing in New
York City in connection with the liquor
tra:.ic is the no-bar whisky shop. I have
often wondered why, when the license was
raised the last time, these dens Of iniquity
and destruction Of physical and moral man
got off SO lightly.
There is no more pitiable sight than tt
see the wretches of all ages and both sexes
in their tattered garments spending theii
last pennies for a bottle of some alcohol
concoction as they filter like phantoms or
a Saturday night in and out Of these places
During the day there is almost constantly
a set Of drunken ~loafers within and in front
of these places.
If any one desires to convince himself Of
the havoc these places work among theI
victims let him walk on Seventh avenue
between Twenty-sixth and Thirty-secone
streets. Similar conditions exist in many
other parts Of the city. No beer or lghte'
drink is sold here. 1t is the real poison
and nothing else that is dealt out withou
restriction of any kind.
l would rather there would be ten sa
looms where there is some restriction ant
every man is on his good behavior thar
one of the pestho!es where man sinks t,
the level of the beast and is helped alonf
by the vendor of the vile stuf.-Carbon, il
