The Holy Rollers have made their
appearance here and their meetings
in Union block, have been inter-
rupted and its members mobbed.
That is wrong Those who object to
their methods should stay away from
the meetings. Religious federation
is guaranteed by the Constitution
and should be extended to all, no
matter how grotesque and ridiculous
their forms may seem. AS long us
they are orderly nobody has a right
to interfere, unless the bounds of
decency are transgressed and pro-
ceedings against them should then be
in lawful manner.
1t seems that the Honolulu girls,
and their chaperon, who were &C
corded such joyous welcome here q
few days ago, found it much easier to
visit Alaska than to get away. 1t
seems that they were denied passage
on the steamship coming ont for the
reason that the agent of the company
would not take drafts on our island
colony for passage money, 1t appears
however, that plan was evolved by
the hardy miners on the steamer man
aged to ship the maidens as stow

the paSsagemoney would be secured
on arriving at Seattle.
A sudden death was that of our
respected citizen, Samuel Eunison,
who passed away Saturday evening.
His disease is said to have been
iocontoter dtarid, q disease of the

control the action of muscles neces-
Sary for steady performance of
these movements. 1t is generally
fatal. Deceased was about 46 years
of age, and has been well known as

Co. His demise will cause a shock
to his many friends.
There is law on the statute books
lOf New Jersey which provides that
IpartieS who circulate defamatOry
statements concerning the sOlvency
of banks shall be punished by fine or
imprisonment. 1t is claimed that
the confidence of the public in the
stability of such institutions is of more
importance to their well-being than
the cash and funds on hand The

vember 9Th, 1907, is authority for the
statement that the law committee of
the American Bankers Association
recommended that a law embodying
a similar provision be enacted in
other States.
The Superior Court has ordered a
new trial in the case of Interlackcn
Land Co. rs. the City of Seattle. The
contest involves the ownership of u
strip of land one foot wide and three
hundred and nincty-fOur feet long.
The city brought suit of condemna-
ton for street purposes, and the
; jury award was one dollar damages
for the land. The court holds that,
while the company should not be per-
United to extOrt large sum because
/ this ownership shuts the streets from
the owners of abutting property, yet
that condition gives the property
more than the nominal value assessed
by the jury, and that fact should
have been taken into consideration
in finding a verdict.
} A grave fraud has been discovered
, in purchase of Penitentiary supplies,
if the stories told by convicts en-
, ployed in the Office work of the in
stitutiOn. are to be believed 1t is
made possible by collision between
, the contractors and clerk, by whom
the vouchers are passed. 1t is al
legged that several car loads of coal
have been allowed and paid for that
have never been delivered, and it is
charged that this fraud has been
. going on for about two years. Be-
