DEATH OF REV. HUHN

Speaking of the sickness, death and burial of Rev. John E. Huhn, who died at Rampard on Feb. 8, the Yukon Val ley News says:
 The deceased was born Oct. 30, 1873 His father lives in Wilmington, N. C., but his mother is dead. Or coming to Alaska he spent a year in Douglas, after which he came to Rampant, arriving here in the summer of 1903. His work has been here and at Fairbanks since that time.
 Mir. Huhn had been a sufferer from lung trouble more or less for some time and trip to Fort Hamlin just prior to the holidays aggravated the malady and he grew worse until it became evident he could not survive.
 Rev. J. L. Provost came up from Tanana and the funeral took place Sunday. Before his death Mir. Huhn expressed desire that natives act as pail bearers and that his body be buried in the native cemetery overlook ing the village of the people with whom most of his work has been done. His wishes were carried out.
 The services at the Mission were largely attended by both whites and Indians. Rev. Mir. Provost was assisted by Pitgu, the Indian minister, and the songs and the readings were rendered in the English and the Indian lang uages alternately. The services were most impressive.

THE MASS MEETING

There was mass meeting of the citi- zens of Douglas, last night at the Nata- torium, called for the purpose of nominating candidates for councilmen and members of the school board.
 Mir. VIC Boyd called the meeting to order and was chosen to preside. Mir. John Hensen was elected secretary.
 Chairman Boyd outlined the issues presenting themselves to the people of the city at the present time, stating both sides plainly, without argument. He then announced that the business in hand was the nomination of candi- dates, and the following names were presented:
 FoR CouNCrLMEN:-P. II. Fox, Chas. A. Hopp, Martin Olson, M. S. Hudson, Ezra Peters, W. c. Boyd, J. A. Kem- mis, Andy G. Johnson, Sam Gius, Jerry Cashen, M. J. O'Connor, Abner Murray, Jules Jensen, Wm. StUbbins, Joseph Trudgeon.
 FoR SCHOOL DREcToR:-P. s. Early, Alfred Johnson.
 FOR SCHOOL TREAsURER:-E. E. Smith, N. King.
 FOR SCHOOL CLERK;--M. G. Rogers, Emmet McKanna.
 A committee, consisting of Chairman Boyd, Secretary Henson and Chas. A. Hopp, was appointed to attend to the printing of ballots, and with power to withdraw from the ticket the name of any nominee, upon his request.
 An informal discussion of the needs of the city followed which developed considerable heat, an element not otherwise very noticeable in the hall. The debate centered around the school question, and especially the high school department, giving several citizens an opportunity to wax eloquent in ther defense of the free school system of the United States of America, in general, and the City of Douglas, in particular. The prevailing sentiment was economy; get the best and pay for it, but get what you pay for. The meeting shortly adjourned, and everybody shook hands with his adversary and went home.

THE LOUVRE BURNED

Last Sunday morning the Louvre theatre, at Juneau, burned to the ground and one man lost his life. The fire originated in the neighborhood of the stage. For twenty minutes before an alarm was turned in, the building was filled with smoke. The employees of the house attempted to check the fire with a syphon and fountain syringe, but suddenly the flames broke through the walls and panic ensued.
 In few minutes the entire building was roaring mass of flames, and ad- joining property owners began to move out. It looked as though the entire water front was doomed. The wind, which had been blowing gale, sud denly died down and the firemen gain ed the fight, not however, until the Louvre was mass of ruins.
 When the smoke cleared away the charred body of John Henry, one of the performers, was discovered.

A crowd made up of gentlemen of

said saucily; why obstruct the
street,"
And she alighted with all the airs
of a grande dame-the jade! She
swept past the crowd disdainfully,
paying no heed to their nudgings or
loud whispers, as they commented
upon her form and features, even as
farmers at a country fair upon their
prize stock.
She beckoned me to follow. We
went up a narrow stairway and en-
tered a room on the second story. She
threw herself into a chair, while she
motioned me to another.

Nell Gwyn?"

and made a moue at me.
My face, no doubt, was expressive
of many things, and she burst into
laughter laughter of Drury Lane

When Woman Isn't Young.

The report is that a local religious
Institution which is for young WON
en-" has drawn the deadline OF youth
at So. Every woman over that age
will be marked % and requested to
skiddoo. This is painful. It IL unkind.
What rs worse. 1t Is impracticable. We
are glad the task is to be performed
by women. No man o set OF men
would ever have dared tackle such q
problem-not they. This is simply
another example of woman's inhu-
'manity to woman.
We have been told for many ages
that q woman Is as old as she looks
and q man is as old as he feels. Just
inow, We say 1t with regret, most WON.
len look like go and most men feel like
tMethuseiah. But the general rule
seems a good one. It is q plain, un-
,palatab1e fact that women will deceive
Jas TO their age as long as possible and
then openly lie about it. There are
many women who were born during
the ravages Of the civil war who still
claim sweetly to be In the thirties.
