A few months since 1t appeared that . paper pulp mill at or near Wrangell was an assured fact; but for some reason not known to us tho matter seems to have quieted down and is being forgotten. Just why the parties having in contem- plation tho move, is e mystery, as nature has bounteously supplied this section with the requisites for such an industry. Forests of Cot tonwood, Spruce and other woods arc to be had; water and water- power tho finest on the continent can be secured for the taking, and what more could be asked except 8 market, which can be readily reached at any point on the Pacific coast. The man or sst of men that get in on the ground floor in an en- terprise of this kind will reap . rich reward.

And not only Harri- man, but other railroad kings are given to understand that they arc servants and not masters of the people. These and other questions in which the President has taken action, have endeared him in the hearts of the masses, and it is that will cause general uprising de- manding that Mr. Roosevelt again accept the Presidential nomination and election.

Although President Roosevelt declared right after his last election that under no circumstances would he again be a candidate for the high office, 1t now looks as If hs will be forced to accept it. The people will demand it because he has taken up and is working out a reformation in governmental and internal affairs that he cannot fin- ish by the end of his present term, and which no other man can con- tinue to satisfactory consumma- tion. The matter of reform is not bunoombe with the President, as was clearly evidenced in an inter.

The ticket for councilmen and school officers Is now in the field, to be voted for next Tuesday, April 2nd. To avoid trouhle and delay at the polla, 1t is necessary that all

Origin of aHip. Hip. Hurrah!n

A London paper, answering a
question as to the derivation OF
Zip, hip, hurrah!" printed the
following excerpt on the subject
from the London Taller of 1882
During the stirring times of the
crusades the chivalry of Europe was
excited to arms by the infammatory
appeals of the well known Peter the
Hermit. While preaching the cru
SADIE this furious zealot was accus-
toned to exhibit a banner emilia
zoned with the letters 81. E. p, the
initials of the Latin words, Hero
solyma Est Perdita' Jerusalem is
destroyed. The people in some of
the countries which he visited, not
being acquainted with Latin, read
and pronounced the inscription as
if one word-Hep. The followers
of the Hermit were accustomed,
whenever an unfortunate Jew ap-
'peared in the streets, to raise the
cry, Hep, hep, hurra,' to hunt him
down and flesh upon the defenseless
Israelite their maiden swords, be-
fore they essayed their temper with
the scimiter Of the Saracen."

GRAND OPERA
IN MATAMOROS
Two Operas Produced last Night
by SisnOra ChaIia.
Notwithstanding the Excellence Of the
Company Appearing at the Opera
House in MatamOros the Audience
Vas Not as Large as on Sunday.

The second night of the opera
season at the Opera House, Mata'
moros, was a great success from
an operate standpoint, but the at
tendance was much smaller than
the brilliancy of the company de-
served. The attendance from Ma
tamoros was not as large as on the
opening night while the attend
ance from Brownsville was even
better than on Sunday night. Two
operas were produced and both
were sung in a most creditable
manner.
Mascagni's celebrated opera in
one act "Cavalleria Rusticana
was the first on the program, and
the excellent and earnest work of
Signora Rosalia Chalia, supported
in every way in a manner q prima
donna of her high rank deserves
by Signoras Gentilini and Pcccini,
and Signores Sigaldi, Ovande and
an efficient chorus, won the hearts
of the entire audience.
Leoncavallo's opera, i Pagli-
acci", in two acts, a production
requiring finished artistes to sue
cessfully interpret it, was the last
part of the evenings work. Sig
nora Rosalia Chalia as Media"
again displayed her wonderful
talents to the best advantage, cap
tivating her audience with sweet
voice and intense dramatic ability.
The next performance will be
Thursday evening, and the meri-
torious work of Signora Challa and
her accomplished supporters should
attract a crowded house. Such a
marvellous voice as the prima don
ma posses and her splendid concep-
ton of the dramatic requirements
of the roles she interprets stamps
her as one of the foremost stars in
the operate armament. The OPP
to hear her and the
splendid company should not be
missed by any lover of music in
the cities of Brownsville and Ma.
tamoros.

The story is told that Dryden, finish Ing his translation of "Virgil," sent 1t to Jacob Tonson for publication for sum specified upon the manuscript. Tonson was desirous of obtaining the book, but determined to take advan- tage of Dryden's need of money. He therefore informed the poet that he could not pay the sum Dryden asked. In reply Dryden sent the following lines in description of the publisher: With leering look, bull faced and freckled
 fair,
 With two left legs, with Judas colored
 hair
 And frowzy pores that taint the ambient
 air.
 When this was delivered to Tonson he asked if Dryden had said anything more. "Yes," replied the bearer, "he said to tell the dog that he who wrote these lines could write more like them '' Tonson sent the money at once.

You remember the old fashioned wo- man who when she heard her young son swearing or using naughty words washed his mouth in sOapsuds. There Is an Atchison boy who could not be re- formed in this way, so his father took him in hand. Every day his father called him in and said: "Now, your mother objects to those naughty words you use, but I, being man, like them. Go over the list for me-" The boy promptly complied at first, but in few days he tired of the words and has now given up his list entirely.-Atchison Globe.

The Awful Carib Fish.

A traveller in Venezuela gives an in- ierestlng description of the fish of the Orinoco country. He says the party several times came in contact with the carib fish, which are the most ferocious inhabitants of the water known. The fish are not over fourteen inches long, but they travel in schools. Their teeth are three cornered. Any living object which attracts their attention Is at tackled with fury. MT. Thompson tells of an Indian woman who entered the water to i'll a bucket. She was at tackled by the fish and reached shore only to die in fifteen minutes. The flesh was literally torn from her body. MT. Dart, who was with Mir. Thomp- son, caught one of the fish and pulled 1t upon the bank. He held the carib under his foot while he pointed at the peculiar teeth with his finger. With a quick movement the carlb fiOpped out from under MT. Darts foot and seized him by the finger, cutting that member to the bone. The fish frequently have been known to bite ordinary fishhooks in two.

Colonial Fear. of Lawyers.

In the columns of the New York Gazetteer of Sept 8. 17S6, there was a paragraph lamenting the increase of lawyers as threatening to the future prosperity of the community and de grading to freemen. An honest trade in former days" said the writer, was all that people of common ability and education were ambitious of, but now no profession is genteel but the law yer and the merchant. The lawyers are now creeping into every post of importance and trusting themselves wherever there is vacancy. Our con gross, our assembly, are crowded with them. and even in our great conner cial convention there are five lawyers to one merchant"
