AS TO DRESS REFORM

Il observe" remarked the man with the
square. stubborn chin and certain man
ner as of a person who did his own think
ing for himself, that a certain New York
female person. possessed of a Rameses
cuticle, an unquenchable determination to
run the hull feminine universe herself,
and habit OF issuing edicts as to what
the female inhabitants Of this globe shall
or shall not de, has recently got her pro-
nunciamento manufacturing apparatus

any woman who Marcel waves her hair
or who uses powder on her countenance

Stevenson In Samoa.

From ST. Nicholas
Stevenson's life in Samoa Is, in some
ways, the most interesting story Of ALL
and here again you can find that story
in his own writings This time, however,
it is in his letters more than in his books.
These letters are so vivid. moreover, that
you feel as IL you were right in Samoa
with him. You are living in his spotless
little box Of house, called Vailima,
which means five rivers and 80 reminds
you that 1t is within sound of flowing
streams There from the broad veranda-
and the house is almost half veranda-
you can look straight up on one side at
the wooded Vaea mountain; and on the
other side down 600 feet before you
CLEANS the sea, filling the end of two
Wales of forest" The house Is built In
clearing in the jungle. The trees about
1t are twice as tall as the house: the birds
about 1t are always talking or singing;
and here and there among the trees
echoes the ringing sleighbeils of the
tree toad"

INSURANCE

Just at the present time seems to occupy considerable space in the news papers all over the country. Doctors, millionaires, senators, agents and lay men are all getting notoriety, but there's one thing sure, we won't see any of the millionaires going to jail. We won't say so much for the other fellows. However, it's all on account of money. yes, money seems to be the root of all evil, yet who is It that doesn't care for money? But there is one consolatiop about money, when they die they cannot take it with them and if they could we are sure It would do them no good. Say, those insurance fellows are almost as pig d conundrum as some of our city boards-you never know where you are at with them We might say. you sometimes run more chances buying tea or coffee than you do getting insured. because if you lose your insurance you only lose yonr money. but if you get poor. cheap quality tea or coffee and pay good price for 1t you not only lose your money but you are liable to lose your health and possibly your life. There fore you should buy tea and coffee where you can rely on getting the quality you expect-the Good Kind. We are selling tea and coffee in Wa terbury since 1877, always made tea and coffee a study. and will take q back seat from no one as to our judg- nent on quality. and our patrons get the benefit of that judgment every time they purchase at 3 E

Don't Be a Coward.

good one, and is possessed of the
courage of his convictions suf-

The Sick Man of Europe.

Diplomatic Europe is disturbed
over the possibilities of an uprising
of the hosts of Islam. That a
Mohammedan uprising is not be-
yond the range of possibilities is
the general feeling. And that
means much to nearly every Euro
pean nation. The Sultan holds the
key to the situation by being the
head of the Mohammedan faith.
He can unfurl the little green flag
of the prophet and millions will
rise at his calm India, in Africa,
on the borders of the Russian en-
pire. At the call of fauaticism the
colonial possessions of Great
Britain and Germany and France
in Africa would be in extreme
danger of determination. The
circle is too wide to be defended
at one and the same time. That
is why the powers of Europe are
so courteous to the Sultan. And
now that Uncle Samuel is i'll the
same boat by virtue of his eastern
Mohamnledan subjects he too
must not urge the Sick Man of
Europe too far.-Opportunity.

WILL THE .4SSHSSLVS BE

While it seems to have been the
chief aim of the citizens COM
mittee to secure the immediate
removal of the negro troops from
Fort Brown, THE HERALD would
rather have seen more urgent eff
forts made by the committee to
insure the speedy arrest and con-
viction of the assassius who COM
mitted the bloody outrage. It is
apparent to all that, should these
soldiers be taken away from Fort
Brown without the guilty ones
being discovered and turned over
TO the civil authorities, they viii
IN all probability never be punished.
That the committee has worked
faithfully in taking testimony look
ing to the establishment of the guilt
of the soldiers, it is true, yet pc
Fusal of the various kilograms sent
By them to state and national
authorities regarding the outrage
reveals the fact that the burden of
their appeals has been for protec-
ton for the town and the removal
Of the troops. In no instance has
the actual indignation with which
our people are burning been voiced

Home Improvement Organizations

3 - SHAASaAA W S9eAaaAG~1AeAOAe
The awakening interest in villag,
improvement is shown by the or
ganization of town and village
civicsocieties. The declared object:
are as varied as the supposed need:
of the communities. Some have il
view the clening up of local munic.
ipal governmenment, another the
improvement of streets and parks,
while others stand on a still broad
er plain and have for their object
the social betterment of the com
munity. They all have one Ill
innate object, however, the i'm
provement of rural and village
home life.
Another organization that is
having marked influence on the
small town is the commercial club,
or the Business mems association,
an organization designed to secure
for the town industries that are
adapted to the conditions and
which will flourish without the
stimulant OF a bonus. Those or
carnations more or less effective
can be found in a large per cent of
the Western towns. All these
forces are working to ona end, but
they are working with little sys-
TEN and often at cross purposes.
The commercial clubs, the I'M
provement clubs, the woman s
clubs and all clubs or Organizations
for the public good, should join in
one organization for the industrial,
commercial and social upbuilding
of the commun.ty-for the ex-
ploitation and utilization of home
opportunities. Opportunity.
There is a sense in which the
age of inventions lays a deadly
paralysis on the finer arts. For in
stance: the modern girl is not &C
complished because she gcinds off
an Hungarian raphsody with the
crank of a pianola.
Ones influence that lives on and
on when he is dead is like the after
glow of a sun that has gone down.

hind clouds dark and stor my; or,
it may be the sunset filled with
ineXpressible beauty and glory.

 Hon. A. P. Swineford, of Ketchikan, was a visitor in Douglas yesterday, and made call at the News office. Mir. Swineford is candidate for the posi- ton of delegate to congress, and, al though a democrat, he does not believe that political parties will cut much ice in the coming election. He is leader for the cause of home government and has strong following throughout the territory.
 The entertainment given at Natatori- um Hall last Friday evening, by Mrs. Harriet May Dunlap, brought out large crowd, perhaps the largest that ever assembled in the city at an enter tainment of this kind. Mrs. Dunlap proved herself an entertainer of rare merit. Her productions were finished and cultured, her presence graceful yet dignifed, her voice clear and pleasant The audience was delighted.

A BAsEBALL TOURNAMENT.

The Douglas baseball club is prepar- ing to take an active part in the Fourth of July celebration this year. A large purse has been raised and prizes will be offered that, it is hoped, will prove attractive to the baseball players of Whitehorse, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. The teams from the places mentioned have already been invited, and given the assurance that, in addi- tion to the prospect of winning big prize, their expenses will be paid. The prizes offered will be: First, S2Oo; sec ond, S100. If these teams respond to the invitation, and there is every reason to believe that they will, it will be the greatest gathering of baseball players ever held in Alaska.
