Slavery In Aleutian Islands.

ST.. LOUIS, Aug. THAT human
slavery exists today under the Ameri.
can flag, and that the government is
doing, and for many years has done,
nothing to abolish it, is the charge
made by Prof. VIM. a. Davis, super
intendent of public schools of Uualas.
ka, Alaska. Professor Davis SAYS
that since he went to Unalaska-one
OF the Aleutian islands-in 1898, he
has done all in his power to induce
the proper authorities to enforce the
law against slavery under the stars
and stripes, but without avail. BY
individual effort, he says, he has sue.
ceeded In securing the release of two
little slave girls, who were sent back
to their native islands.
"At the present time he says in a
letter, Tin the village of Unalaska,
with a population OF not more than
200, there r no fewer than six girls
In bondage as servile as that of the
blacks before their emancipation, and
1t Is safe to ssum that the same con.
ditions prevail all over Alaska.
These children are usually orphans
and are given away by those to whom
they had been left by their parents

Memorial To Bennington Victims.

SAN Diego, Cal, Aug. 2.-As soon
as the extent of the disaster of the
Bennington was known to the local
public, it vas proposed that funds be
raised by popular subscription for the
purpose Of erecting a shaft in the little
military cemetery to commemorate the
event by which the Bennington boys,
whose bodies were buried there, lost
their lives.
The announcement of the proposal
was followed by the gift of many small
subscriptions Of money, which now
amount to a little over 8 1000. 1t is
now stated by Captain McCook of the
Mare Island navy yard that there is
practically no doubt that the govern.
ment will erect u fine shaft ut the mill.
tary cemetery, Point Iona, in memory
OF the dead seamen. 1t will probably
be a single shaft of stone bearing
bronze plates inscribed with the names
OF the dead sailors.

AGreat Hit.

Miss Isadore Rush, the actress,
whose sad death occurred at San
Diego beach. California, recently, was
endowed with rare humor. The spon-
taneity of her wit was well shown
some years ago in a performance OF
THE Wrong Mr.. Wright" in which
she and the late Roland Reed wee
starring. In the second act Mr.. Reed
pinned her hat on for her. This night
she had on a new sailor, with the
name of battleship on the band.
Mr. Reed hesitated moment with
pin in hand and asked:
"Shall put it through any particu-
lar letter.
"Oh. no. replied Miss Rush.
Still delaying anchoring the head
gear, Mr.. Reed remarked, with a
wicked smile, well. the only thing I
see is a j.
Just for moment she hesitated.
Then her eyes danced as she replied:
Il didn't know my eyes were mirrors. =
1t made a great hit. and Mr.. Reed.
seeing himself fairly beaten, laughed
heartily Omaha Bee.

Worth Reading.

In all the Baking Powder "Wars"
that have been intermittenly waged in
the last twenty years, there is one point
that has been overlooked by the bel
ligerant makers of these goods. Rival
manufacturers have contented them
selves with accusing their competitors
of making and unwholesome product.
The question of keeping quality, and,
therefore, efficiency in raising bread,
the only purpose for which baking
powder is used, appears to have been
generally ignored There are many
powders which, when fresh, and the
can is first uncovered, will do fairly
good work, but after standing for
some time on the pantry shelf, the
powder becomes so weak as to be al
most worthless as far as raising bread
is concerned. This is especial true Of
the so-called phosphate" powders,
which were it not for this fatal defect,
would be satisfactory baking powders.
The unsuccessful attemps to overcome
this fault of the phosphate" powders
has enlisted the services of more chem
lists and cost more money than the So
luton of any other prob. an connected
with the raising of bread. The makers
of these phosphate" powders raise a
great cry about the wonderful health
fulness of their product, but what
matters all this if the powder will not
fnlfill the only object for which it is
purchased? The housewife to whom
economy is an object will avoid these
phosphate" powders.
