LECTURER OF NOTE
:: . HERE MONDAY NIGHT.
In High School Auditorium Under
Auspices of the Teachers
Association.

Frank l.. Dixon, orator and lee
turer, will appear at the high school
Monday night under the auspices of
the teachers association.
Frank Dixon is the youngest of the
famous group of preacher orators,
father and three sons who have gain
ed national and international reputa-
ton.
He was born in 1866 in North Car
orlina and was graduated from the
university of his native state in 1886.
He was pastor of churches in West
Virginia, California and Connecticut
for fourteen years previous to 1902,
and was distinguished for fearless
ness and aggressiveness, for elo-
quence and magnetic power.
For the past three years Mr.. Dixon
has been lecturing constantly. His
themes are vital. He stands at the
storm-centre of progressive thought,
and speaks with authority. Every
mar and woman who hears him
speak understands him. He has a
personality that is the essence of elo-
quence. He is so simple, so direct,
so captivating in his style, his audi
ence grasps in a moment the results
of years of careful toll. He is a bun
die of nerves and 'eXcelable gray
natter and opens a whole battery
of logic every time he opens his
month. He has a message the world
must hear. Not a sentence that is
dull, not a moment that is not charg-
ed with electric power.
Mr.. Dixon's lecture will be the last
event of the series which have been
given under the auspices of the
teachers course.
The other events have fulfilled in
every way all that had been anticipa-
ted for them and the last event of the
series will be equal in every way to
the ones which have gone before.

Barrel Blew Up.
While the barrel was being con-
nected to the pipes yesterday after
noon it blew up and the full force
caught Mullins in the face.
The force was so great that he was
knocked off his feet. Three of his
teeth were broken, his mouth split
and his nose mashed. The back of
his head and his face we're also cut.
The explosion was heard upstairs in
the saloon and a number of the men
ran down to the cellar.
Lying on the Floor.
They found Mullins lying on the
floor, blood iowing from his dozen
wounds. He was carried upstairs
and DR.. Henry summoned. He dress
ed the wounds and cuts the best he
could and then ordered the man talk
en- home.
This morning Mullins is getting
along as well as can be expected, but
it will be some time before he is able
to get around.

that. with all our faults, you love us
still. 1t used to be said that all roads
lead to Rome. 1t can now be said
that all roads in New Jersey lead to
New York. We have long been won
dering when it would be that New
Jersey, great and glorious as she has
been, would become sc great and
glorious that she would out-grow her
own boundaries. That occasion has
come tonight. New Jersey, with all
its great history, isn't great enough
to contain the name and fame of
Cortlandt Parker. He belongs to
New York as much as to New Jersey.
Indeed, he belongs to the United
States and stands as an example to
all the youth of our profession,
which in its fraternity belongs to no
state, no country, no continent"
Mr. Choate then spoke of his ex-
p%erience with the English bar, and
said the news of the dinner would be
gladly received over there and would
confute the idea that I'VE don't wear
we'll" He called Mr.. Parker a great
and good man." and said there was
no honor that he had received abroad
that equalled the privilege of attend
ing the dinner. He added:
why do we honor him? First of
all, because of his splendid age. |
used to think that the eighth decade,
which | have entered, was the choic-
est in a mans life. When we reach
that, the past is secure and we can
have all the fun of life. We may be
said to be living at the expense of our
heirs. But tonight I find that | was
mistaken for it is the ninth decade
that is the choicest If life.
we honor Mr.. Parker, also for
his splendid professional career and
the way he has magnified his calling.
In his caree there is no flaw, no
stain, nothing but unsullied purity
and honor from beginning to end.
His character has been pure. | men
ton this to show that there is a diff
ference between character and repu-
.tation. Here, however, is a mar
whose reputation equals his charac-
ter, thank God, equals his reputa-
ton"
When Mr.. Choate sat down Mr..
Parker arose and went over to him
with tears in his eyes to shake his
hand. The two men arose, and then
the entire assemblage got up and
joined in the fluctuations.
Judge Jonathan Dixon of the SUI
preme Court of New Jersey was re-
ceived almost as affectionately as MI.
Parker when he got up to speak on
DE Amicitia." Judge Dixon spoke
of Mr.. Parker's legal craft always
afioat on the sea of his profession,
while we smaller boats, in pinnaces,
sail round him and lower our flags
in affectionate salute" AT this there
was a tremendous cheer. Judge Dix
on said he did not include Mr.. Chaotic
in the fleet of lesser craft, for" he
added, wherever his legal craft
floats he is entitled to fly the signals
of an Admiral" The dinner closed
with a speech by Edward S. Savage
on the toast His Boys"

ALASKA AND SECESSION

Perhaps not since the termination Of the civil war has there been so much talk of secession in the country as ap- plieable to a condition confronting an American people as has been aroused bv the Valdez telegram to the PTest- dent. Many of the papers, all ot them in the northern states, say frankly the people of Alaska who threaten seces- sion have right on their side. None of them, it is true, believe the conditions will become so grave that the remedy ever will be invoked, but the intima- tion his held out always that should the federal government persist in the course Senator Platt and Senator Spooner have marked out for them selves, there would be justification for it.
 Ia seriously discussing this matter, the Dawson News, which Is well in- formed on the people of Alaska and the conditions obtaining here, says:
 "lf the senate means anything it means that DO matter what the ad- vsnesment of Alaska, that district, as well as the Philippines and Porto Rico, is never to be allowed to enter the union of states. They are never to be part of the Union, but to be held as possessions just as India is held by Great Britain today. What strange Idea to be e, Certainly there has been a vast departure from original Americ,n Vy uciples. And American history shO d point the lesson better than can VI that, so far as Alaska Is concerned, .r is impossible to carry out the dream the foolish senators. The country of he black FilipinOs may be he'd and plotted like India, and the same with Porto Rico. but the senate should remember that Alaskans are or the most sslt-governing and euterpris- ing of the American nation. The time will come when perhaps Alaska will have as many inhabitants as the orig inal l3 colonies, and from the very na- ture of the selection, the Alaskaus will be even more sturdy. What theu?'

The Daily Alaskan has said that the price it receives from the City of Skag- way for the city printing was fixed by competitive bids. That is absolutely true. The ra.s is 75 cents per inch for three insertions. The Guide at the time the Daily Alaskan named this fg- ure offered to make the publications for 80 cents an inch. The records in the oBice of the city clerk show these facts. The rate the Daily Alaskan is receiving Is equivalent to 9s cents per line for the three insertions. Its regular aavertis- ing rates for the same work are scents for the first insertion and T cents for subsequent insertions-or 90 cents for the same service as the city gets for 9s cents. The business men of Skagway, those who are on the council as we'll as the others, pay regularly rate several times greater for their advertising reading matter than the city pays for its publications. The attempt to make political issue by misrepresenting these conditions is simply a bungling trial to escape from the condemnation of the people that followed the miser- able failure to make a scandal out of the municipal water system.
