ably for Manchester. Ryan Was, sent
home in manner which was not
entirely Acceptable to the rooters that.

ever, Gardner and Schoenauer had
splendid support and the battery
was not obliged to play,lhe game
alone, as Ryan appeared to,bs forced
to do. iafstist3,,} (
II there was any fault to he found
with the home team, it should have
been kept secret, as the first game is
naturally hard proposition, The
pitcher had not had any workouts
with the catcher and the basemen,
and fielders were not in one accord
at all times. The batting was good
and only two errors were entered
against Manchester. The hits were
pretty evenly divided up, Tommy.
Davis having two to his cfedit,while
six men were given one each.
Manager B. w. Grerns has the

BY uttering rather more expressive
than chaste language about The for

of by the management and should
be stopped. There is no need for
any alterations. and if there are the
manager will see that. they are
worked out without the assistance oil

The parishioEers of the First
Congregational church learned with
keen regret Sunday morning of the
future contemplated resignation Of
the Rev. Charles E. Lynde, as pas
tor of the church. Mr.. .Lynde's
reasons for this declaration are
purely personal among which
is the question Of i'll health.
While pastor of the local church,
Mr.. Lynde has won the admiration
and esteem Of the townspeople, and
has especially made the boys feel
that he was their friend and adviser
through his tireless and ceaseful eff
forts in interesting them in athletic
work and at the same time develop
ing their moral and spiritual life,
such as was recommended and urged
by DR.. Daniel McGurk and Judge
Ben. B. Lindsay, in their lectures
Mt the Chautauqua resently. Mr..
Lynde believes in winning the boys
heart through his play and when the
proper time affords an opportunity
to draw the boy out into the higher
thoughts Of life and his duty toward
himself as a man, call his attention
to the matter of Christianity and oil
its right Of control over his life
The doctrine of the brotherhood Of
man and the true principles Of re.
ligion, such as they apply to present
day needs, is preached in q mos,
orthodox and genuine manner BY
Mr.. Lynde. which testify to q most
serious consideration and true un.
Outstanding Of his profession. Hit
pastoral work is highly commended
by his parishioners, and the church
az we'll as the town, will lose a mar
OF power and influence, should Mr.
Lynde feel obliged to resign as pas
tor of this church.

JACK LONDOH'S NEW BOOK

Jack London has written book of 2,OOO words entitled Martin Eden" The Pacific Monthly purchas' ed for s7,OOO the serial rights for this vivid story. It began in the septem. Der number of the Pacific Monthly and will run for twelve months.
 Martin Eden" is character study-the story of fighter-a fight, CT as a newsboy in the alleys of San Francisco: fighter as a rowdy in slums; and finally, fighter for odu- cation and culture. struggling against the odds of common birth and vulgar environment. with a desperation of courage that presents a powerful blending of brutality of strength with sublimity of purpose. His in- spiratim is q woman of the higher sphere of life, but his motive is the mighty impulse that animates a soul and brain born to expand until fet- tering ignorance is sundered and ig- noble influence trampled under foot.
 It is not too much to say of "Mar- tin Eden" that it possesses more of fascination and virility, grips the i'm aglnatlon and the sympathles more keenly, and imparts more courage, than any book produced in years.

TO THE PUBLIC

During the month of October the undersigned, for the purpose of mu. tual instruction and practice, organiz. ed what is known as Reeds orches. tra. in conjunction with Miss Cos. tello. who has since left the town and been succeeded by Fred Rosen- berg. In order to obtain results, ne- cessity demanded that we practice often and regularly and conrine our selves to our own little organization. We are not holding ourselves alooi from other musicians through arro. gauce or to disparage them nor do We attempt to maintain for ourselves any peculiar merit. But we are mu. tuaTy dependent upon each other for our respective progress. While we will at all times gladly furnish our services for a reasonable compensa' ton to any who may desire them, it is not our purpose to in any way in, terfere with Che affairs of other mu' sicians. There are not sufficient mu.  sicians in skagway to permit the chartering of a union and the state. ment which has been circulated through the town to the effect that We are endeavoring to organize a mu' sician's union is not only untrue but ridiculous.
