Board Of Trade Shuts Its
 Doors

Lee Guthrie's Board of Trade, proba- bly, the best known ''gentlemen's re- sort" in the north closed it's doors at : o'clock last night. It will remain shut for the winter. It is the intention to open it again next spring.
 This step was decided upon by the management of the Board of Trade as being preferable to operating at loss during the winter The gambling houses of Skagway depend almost ex- clusively upon the travelling public for sustenance and the travel through Sxagway is largely confined to the sum- mer time. The order of the White Pass railroad management prohibiting gambling on the part of their employ ees and, probably, the resultant effect upon the inhabitants of the towni has been such that there seems to be very little disposition on the part of local reople to buck the tiger''.
 To the travelling public, however, Skagway will hardly seem itself with out it's Board of Trade. It has been one of the we'll known institutions of the city. It's reputation has been, from the very beginning of it's history in 1897, that of Square gaming house. and as result it has received 8 large patronage.
 Joe Engle, for many years manager of the Board of Trade, will leave on one of the first boats for the sound. He will visit the mining camps of Nevada, Salt Lake, Denver aud other western cities during the winter. He will probably return to Skagway next spring.
 Lee Guthrie will remain at Skagway and give his attention 10 his numerous interests here.

CLOSES UP FALLS DOWN
City Will Not Do Business
 With N.W,L. & P. Go.

There will be DO connection made be- tween the city water system and that ot the Northwest Light X Power Com pany. The city council last night re- fused,to consider the propositions which, when submitted in writing, were not regarded as liberal as those which had been informally suggested and upon which the council acted at it's meeting three weeks ago.
 The propositions submitted by the Northwest Light X Power Company were three in number, and in substance as follows:
 tl) The company proposed that 1t would make connection with the city system, at the expense of the city, re- tain sole charge of the gate connecting the systems, charge the city S25O for the privelege of having the connection made, and the city to pay prtce for water used to be fixed after the using by arbitration.
 (2J It would make the connection the charge of the city, make no charge for the privelege of the connection and let the city use all tte water it wants and when it wants it at Sl25 per month.
 lS) It would make the connection at the charge of the city, take charge of the city's system, operate it on lease, keep the water rates at the figure now charged by the city, and pay the city interest on it's investment.
 The council decided that the city would not accept any of the offers. The city's system is LOW as good as 1t ever was and no danger is felt Of a lack of the water supply unless fire re- quiring the use of several lines of hose should continue for five hours

The delusion that sea water does not
give cold is accountable for much harm.
A chill may be caught by wetting from
sea water as quickly as by wetting
from any other water. There Is a
certain stimulation to the skin from
salt, no doubt, but that does not pre-
vent chills from indiscriminate ex-
posure to wetting by salt water, and
chills are fertile causes of illness. Chill
to the lower part of the body is always
dangerous to any one. 1t Is much more
50 to q child than to a grown person,
though many people seem to think the
reverse Is the case.

He stopped the COUGHING.

One Sunday morning a clergyman
was greatly annoyed by the unusual
amount Of coughing among his congre-
CATION. He had not strong voice and
could only be distinctly heard when the
people were still and attentive. AS the
coughing went on, and even grew
worse, he suddenly stopped right in the
middle of the sermon. All eyes were
instantly turned to the pulpit, every
cough was hushed and there was per.
feet silence.
"My friends" said the minister, with
a smile, sit seems you stop when I
stop"
This gentle rebuke had the desired
effect. The people found that their
coughing could be kept down when
they liked to great extent, and the
minister proceeded with his sermon
under far more favorable conditions.

Theater programmes were known
even in ancient times, though they
were then Of a very peculiar construc-
ton. In Greece and Rome they con-
sisted of small tablets, which were
handed out to the audience at the en-
trance. Those occupying the best seats
obtained programmes beautifully work
ed in ivory, while those occupying the
cheaper seats were given tablets In
bronze.
The bronze tablets were distinguish
ed by dove worked in the metal, and
the term 'piccionerio," used in Italy
today as designating the lower priced
seats in the theaters, dates from this
antique custom.
