Alaska's First Campaign.

Alaska is to have novel expert
ence in the shape of a congressional
campaign. The Seward purchase" is
now a full-fledged territory, entitled
to representation in the national leg
islature at Washington, and will live
up to its privileges by electng a del
egate. But it is not likely that there
will be anything wildly exciting about
it, at least over most of the territory.
says the Troy times. Alaska has a
population estimated to approximate
100000, more than half of the inhab.
itants being Indian natives. The ter
ritUry has an area aGUut equal to the
whole Of the United States east of
the Mississippi river, and campaign
ing over such a region will mean long
rides and tramps for the spellbinders,
for railroads and highways are scarce
in that part of the world. However,
most of the whites are to be found in
settlements like Sitka and in the
mining camps. In those sections there
is a prospect of vigorous campaigning.
On the whole there will be consider.
able interest in the first election re.
turns from Alaska.

Not a Drink for Children.

eggs and sugar. Then they put In
some hot water and a dash OF nut

At this stage, it's n whole lot like
some OF those good drinks that
mother used to make for the babies.
And Is would stay that way, bus the
Tom and Jerry fiend always winks
at the bsrkeeper at this iuncture
and tells him he likes his'n pretty
strong. The gentleman In the white
apron sorrowiully takes the hint
and then it's no more a drink for
the children.

me Cost Of cItIss.

New York city's budget next year
will be s116.s05.4 s037. This is one
fifth of the total expenditures of the
Isl cities Of the United States hay-
ing q population Of over $4,000. In
GLIDING the bond issues New York
spends one-third. New York spends
more than the six next largest cities
Chicago, Philadelphia, ST. Louis,
Baltimore, Boston and Cleveland. Al
though its population is only twice
Chicago's, its government costs four
times as much. Its debt is more
than third Of the aggregate city
debt, which is larger than the national
debt, The per capita debt Of all these
cities is s57 or less than half New
York's. New York's expenditures ex-
coed those of any foreign city. The
London council uses only s50.000,000
a year. Parish expenditures do not
bring the total to the New York fig
ure. The expenditures of the German
empire are less than five times as
great, those Of the kingdom Of Prus-
STA six times as great, those of Spain
only quarter larger. The census bu-
reau bulletin which contains these
statistics also gives interesting in

best known of these. Boston, Port.

nicipal ferries. Auburn operates a
stone quarry. Detroit has a mum.
cipal asphalt plant, 0ne.tfth Of the
total revenues come from the water.
works. In almost every case these
waterworks more than pay the cost
of their maintenance, the interest
and the sinking fund of the water
bonds. One of the other interesting
facts in this bulletin, to which the
New York World calls attention, is
that Hoboken has the highest popula-
ton to the acre of any city, That is
because its area is only S25 acres,
New York is the largest city, with
an area of oyer 800 square miles.
New Orleans is second and Chicago

No convict has been guillotined in
Paris for ten years, and the sentences
of those condemned to death have
been committed to Imprisonment for
life. The reason for this lies in the
fact that the law provides that all
capital executions shall be held in
public, and since the guillotine was
removed from the Place de la Ro-
quette ten years ago, no other place
has been found for it. The residents
in the neighborhood of every place
suggested object to its erection near
them. The authorities were lately put
in quandary when condemned man
refused to ask for a Communication OF
his sentence, and declared that they
must put him to death.
