It is related that James Lawrence Toole, England's veteran comedian, who died not long ago, once played a practical joke on his dog with fatal re- suits. In order to get her husband home at Q reasonably early hour after his work in the theater was over Mrs. Toole used ito promise him just as good a meal as could be found in any res taurant or club in London. This meal his wife would provide and leave on the table for the comedian. Toole didn't like to disappoint his wife, and so used to give the food to his dog. Next morning the plates would be cleaned and Mrs. Toole happy. By this device the comedian managed to eat his club suppers until the dog died of overfeed- ing.

A remedy for badness has recently been found by a learned Psychologist inscribed in papyrus. It is said to have been used by King Chata, the second sovereign of the First Dynasty. The recipe is as follows: "A mixture of dog paws, dates and asses hoofs, ground up and cooked in oil The head is to be rubbed vigorously with the preparation" This mess would doubt less find buyers in our day If properly advertised

A German marine disaster of an ex- traordinary character is reported. The good ship Agathe, from Hamburg, lad en with barley, reached Elbing, where the shipyards are, and was beating up the Elbing river. An OK watched the vessel from the bank. A sudden squall carried the ship little off her course, with the result that she collided with the OK, impaling it on the jibboom from which 1t was removed with diff ficulty."

The national capital was once a port for large vessels, and not few for n1idable warships were launched at the Washington navy yard. Since the civil war the Potomac has been allowed to fill up with mud and sewage, and now a vessel of larger draft than steam yacht must stop at Alexandria. The Italian cruiser Fiermosca is to visit Washington, but will have to anchor at Alexandria. It was the dream of George Washington that the capital should be great maritime and com- mercial city, but save for local business and the commerce of Georgetown the Potomac bears few vessels. Alexandria has also fallen from its old-time posi- ton as a port.

Why all this reference to the saloon element" oy Coy. Hoggatt in way to imply that the saloon men of Alaska represent all that is worst in Alaskan civilization? ISit not \ cheap slander upon a class of buSsineSS ren the hSitl macy of whose avocation is recognized by congress in order to pSnder to preiudiceS of the churches aud the temperance people?
 The inference to be drawn from the governors references is s sander be- cause the saloon men Of Alaska rank as high as the saloon men ot any other section of the United States measured by whatever standard you choose to use.
 There is another point in this connec- tion. The bad" saloon element at Nome, the only place where A saloon campaign" was made at the recent cleo sion, supported Murane for congress and HoggStt's commission ideas instead of Waskey and selt-government. The below the dead-lins" vote Of Nome was against the people of the district
 Ir would seem that Gov. HoEgatt is not devoid of demAgoguery.

FOUR COUNCILMEN
 MAKE QUORUM

It has been held at Fairbanks that tour members of a city council in Alas Ks constitute a quorum. This in the face of a statute which provides that i've members are quorum.
 IL is held that the statutory provision is directory and not mandatory.
 A quarrel among the councilmen had developed at Nome, and those members of the body who did not agree with the majority remained away from its ses- sions, leaving only four men at them. It was decided that congress never in- tended that q minority should con. trol the council or prevent the city from doing business-nenee the decis. ion that four men could meet and trans- acC the ciLy's business

There is considerable disappointment ex-
pressed among those citizens of this part

a committee engaged in urging congress
sional legislation and at one time, when a
concurrent resolution was passed calling
upon the Commissioners for a report to
Congress by that body, 1t was thought Ia
vorable action would result.
The matter has rested at that stage,
however, and Mr.. James c. Leonard, the
chairman of the citizens committee con-
sidering the flats improvement and MEM
Der of the Business Mems Association.
secured the passage of resolution
through both these organizations recently
making inquiry as to the Commissioners
report.
In reference to the letter from the local
association the Commissioners have return
ed an answer in which they state that their
report in regard to the Anacostia flats Is
now in course Of preparation, and will be
forwarded to Congress at the earliest prac-
ticable date.
