"lET HIM WITHOUT SIN CAST
 THE FIRST STONE"

False stories were told about me. l was accused of things was abso- lutely innocent of. But my friends distrusted me and my acquaintance gave me the cold shoulder. My life has been spoiled; l am tired and am going where the gossips can't reach me"
 Some days ago in Ironwood, Mich. handsome young woman. fresh and vigorous in the prime of her splendid womanhood, committed suicide and she left the above note in explanation of her act.
 When she resorted to death to es- cape the evil tongue of islander the people of Ironwood were shocked. Some of them were repentant. A public funeral was held and great throng of people gathered to see the body of the girl to her last resting place. No one had an evil word to say. the voice of islander was stilled. Preachers eulogized her virtues. some Of her hypocritical friends were ob. served to shed tears. It was gener- ally agreed that she was a pure and virtuous girl. that her only sin had been lack of conventionality. The very persons who had bounded her to self destruction. hedged and praised her memory.
 But the girl was dead.
The daily Alaskan., 1909-05-22
But the girl was dead.

Perhaps this girl was weak; per haps she should have striven against calumny; perhaps she should have held to life despite the loss of friends and her good name. But life is not always easy and it often becomes un- bearably hard when one is friendless and held up to public scorn. When an innocent woman is robbed of her reputation by the cowardly words of islander. when her friends desert her and her name is a by-word. she is contending against great odds. She is denied that respect which is every pure woman's due. It may be that this young woman was weak: but it is also likely that her burden exceed. cd her strength.

 A little more charity is needed in the daily conduct of life. Religion should not be donned like garment Sunday, and laid aside the rest of the week. Christ. himself, was broad and charitable. He extended the helping haad alike to the saint and sinner. There are some people in Skagway who could well follow his example.

The slurring sheer of the slanderer has a keener sting than the stab of the aSsasSin's stilletto. It is the me thod of cowardice, the weapon used ly those who in most cases are not as worthy as those whose regulations they would impeach.
 In nine cases out of ten, islander is inspired by malice and envy.
 It Is easy to circulate a islander without laying ones self open to re- sponsibility. A wink. the innuendo. the vile allusion, few of these things can be traced. But they spread in an insidious manner and are retold b the low and minimizing.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The house
Yesterday evening adopted Perkins,
resolution on the presidents message
in regard to the secret service by a
vote of 212 to 80.
This resolution, voted for by both
democrats and republicans. declares
it to be the sense of the house that
il shall decline to consider any COM
munication from any source which is
not respectful recommending that
the Objectionable portion of the pres
ident's annual message be laid on the
table, and that similar action be tax
en- with respect to the message of last
Monday because of it's being unre-
sponsive to the inquiry of the house
as to what the president meant when
he said, referring to the limitation
that had been placed upon the field
of operations OF the secret service,
that the chief argument in favor of
the provision which, had been enact
ed was that the congressman did not
themselves wish to be investigated.

SLEUTHS
STILL BUSY

The railroad detectives, assisted by
other officials, are still very busy
working on the sensational box car
lneit cases winch We're brought to
the public eye by The sentinel yeSter-
day. II is said that several OF the
railroad men accused of the offences
have skipped out and today efforts
to run down other accused men
known to still he in or near the city,
are being made. Several more big
''roundups" of alleged stolen goods
are said to have been made by che
Officers today.
The cases are causing much cN-
citemcnt. The detectives still refuse
to talk of the cases.
IL is declared that they have over
whclming evidence against many of
the accused men. The railroad com
panies are said to have lost heavily
during II period of many months as
n result of the pilferins of freight
cars.

DESTITUTE MEN
FOUND in CAVES

The discovery was made this after
noon by Sentinel reporter of ser
les of dugouts and caves in the
swamps and seepage land below the
railroad tracks in the southern part
of Crawford's addition, in which
more than a score of men who We're
broke and out of work were living
like a band of wild Indians or gyp-
sizes.
In almost every hut furnaces of
brick had been constructed. and on
these black cans of coffee and "mul-
ligan' We're steaming. The men in
nearly every case had the appearance
of being working men who We're down
and out, and some of them stated
that they had dropped off here ex-
pecting to find work on the High
Line canal, but had been disappoint-
ed and We're fighting to exist until
jobs could be found.
Many of the refugees had applied
for admittance at the Mercy mission.
but this benevolent institution is full
to overfiowing, so they are obliged
TO spend the cold nights in these
caves, living on what they can beg
or pick up.
In one little cave about S feet
square were found nine men, and
they stated that some of the other
'shacks" We're just as crowded
There probably never has been
time when the city was so full of des-
titute men, and il seems queer that
there are not more candidates for the
chain gang than there are.
Forty-fve men are housed nightly
at the Mercy mission, and the Sal
vation Army takes care of large
number.
The caves are constructed of old
logs and sheet iron, and the cracks
and crevices have been stopped up
with newspapers, old rags and mud.
The coal is picked up along the rail-
road track, and, by the aid OF dirty
old blankets, the men are able to
| keep reasonably warm. so they state
| One or two of the inhabitants of
these holes are cripples, and they are
surely motley looking lot; but all
seem sincere in their desire to find
work and TO leave these damp. un-

In the largely displayed story to
the effect that the present board of
county commissioners will quit busi-
ness next Thursday with $20,00p sur
plus on hand, the press agent of the
republican county officials failed to

was taken the amendment was badly

At the meeting this afternoon the
question of attempting to get a law
through which should allow the dis

each county for his mileage in trav-
cling over the district was brought
up for consideration. Attorney Hen
ry r. Rhone then proposed the
amendment that caused the animated
discussion, an amendment, providing
that the judge could not collect mile
age if he rode on a pass.
The action of number of the at
torneys in voting against this amend
ment was surprise to many.
Attorneys Wheeler, Rhone and

posed by Mr.. Rhone, and SO declared
