SAMUEL GLOVER

DIEp-At Douglas, Alaska, Friday, March 24. 1905. Samuel Glover, native of Melada. Austria, aged % years. The funeral services were held at Ohman's Hall. on Sunday, March 2Gth, at ? O. clock D. m. under the auspices of Doug las Aerie. No. IT, FraternaI Order of Eagles. Interment at the Douglas r. o. E. Cemetery.
 The deceased had niu poor health for several years, and his decline, thonph gradual, was nevertheless sure, His last days were filled with suffering and death came as relief. The Doug las Eagles, of which organization he was prominent member, ministered to him during his last moments, and dug for him the first grave in the little plot of ground, which all felt they would need sooner or later. There by tbe side of the silent sea they have laid him: giving him, as their last token Of brotherly esteem, the full honors of an Eagle. Far from the land of his birth, he found friends whose ready sym pathy was a solace to his pains and sorrows: friends who knew no country and no race, but inthe great name Of brotherIy love and humanity extended to him a kindness and love such as a brother has for brother. A vein of sentiment is threaded into the life of the deceased when 1t Is known that he had passionate fond ness for music; and so, at his request the Douglas Island Band played at his grave his favorite melody "old Black Joe"
 I'm comiu', I'm comin'
 And my head is bending low,
 seem to hear the angels calling i! Old Black Joe."

THE MINSTREL SHOW

The Soldier Boys from Fort W. ii. Seward. members of Sd U. s. Infantry, gave their big Minstrel Show at the Douglas Natatorium last night. 1t was one of the largest turn-outs ever seen in Douglas.
 The curtain went up amid a ringing chorus and disclosed the usual minstrel circle. with background consisting of Old Glory.
 Then came the sweet songs by the individual members of the company, "Back, Back, to Baltimore" and "Good' Bye Little Girl, Good Bye," with their chorusas of the entire company, made decided hits with the house. The musical part of the first part of the pro gram was interspersed by jokelets by the end men, some of whom showed mpch ability as laugh getters. This part of the program ended with the song and chorus, "Oh Listen to the ! Big Brass Band, which had the right swing to it and brought out much ap- plause.
 A bunch of specialties and skits came next the baton swinging by wizard with the stick and the series of bugle calls by a real bugler came in for cheers and the sketches and impersonations never failed to raise a laugh. The box ing contest had the kids in the gallery in high state of excitement but nc one was hurt, and it was decided !. draw.
 3 The curtain went down after the las } sketch amid the regrets of withou

 "Boys in Blue" will always find warn

 Without doubt one of the things tha
