The resignation of Capt. Jarvis from the customs service is a distinct loss to the people of Alaska, not be- cause men cannot be found qualified to take up the work where he lays it down, but because men of honesty, and abili- ty, and of the character of Capt. Jarvis are already too scarce among the off cials of Alaska.

The repeated petitions and supplica- tions of the people of Juneau have had no visible effect on Governor Brady, and the capitol still remains at Sttka. It is now stated that the governor has no power to move anyway, but then why didn't he say so in the first place? It is our opinion that the ambitions, wants and desires of the people of Al aska are of very little import to the Honorable Governor.
 The reported epidemic of diptheria among the Indians in the vicinity of Circle this winter turns out to be filth and not diptheria, as was first thought. The authorities at Circle have been ad- vised to clean the quarters with quan- tity of coal oil and match. This plan may be considered by some as rather harsh, but it has a wonderful effect. Some years ago a cabin on the Douglas beach was found to be infected with filth and infested with vermin. The human inmates of the cabin were re- moved to other quarters and u e coal oil can and the match were applied. No further hint was needed to be given to other natives in that vicinity to clean up, and they have remembered that object lesson to the present time.

How They LIGHT CHARS.

overheard conversation between
three gentlemen in the lobby OF
Young's the other day, just as they
were coming out from lunch and light
ing their cigars. Two were strangers,
the other man evidently belonging to
the city. He had just passed light
TO his friend. when one of them re-
marked:
Ever notice the difference in the
way men light cigars?"
Both of his hearers agreed they had
not.
''Well, the Boston man takes a
match out of his safe, lights it, offers
the light to his friend and then lights
his own cigar. The Philadelphia man
fires up his own tobacco first and then
passes the match to his friend. But
New York man calmly lights his own
cigar and then throws the match
away. Boston Traveller.
