LYONS IS JUDGE

After having his fate in doubt for several weeks. Thomas Lyons of Ju- reau was yesterday confirmed by the Senate for the appointment of judge O. the First judicial division of AL aska. He will at once proceed to Fairbanks and for one year preside in the Fourth division.
 Lyons has legal ability and he has kept himself comparatively clear of the political muddle in Jul u,au. His record is good and tEere is no reason to doubt that he will make a good judge. A IeasC he is an Alaskan and is thoroughly conversant with all phases of the often peculiar litigation of this country.
 The chief objection to Lyons is his associates. His partner, Louis snack leford. is Hoggatt's chief ally, and has always manifested a pernicious act iYlty in the interests of the big cor porations. Lyons. himself, has acted as attorney for many of the Alaskan corporations; but he is a man who can, if he chooses, free his mind from any bias in this direction. Neither is it probable that he will permit die tation from Hoggatt and Shackleford.
 Lyons has the power to decide his own future. If he plays fair ball and breaks away from Hoggatt and his crowd he will make good. But if he allows his former associations to in fluence him he will earn the everlast. ing enmity of the people of Alaska and blight his own career. The peo- pie are tired of judges who don't stand for square deal.
 If Lyons is wise he will make a good judge. He can it he will.

to 1872 actors and actresses for a pc
Rod of from thirty to forty weeks
But in all the p productions there has
been but one absolute failure, Diana
of DobSon's," a play that still enjoys
great popularity in London. The
weekly salary list incurred by these %
productions has amounted to over
$4,000. The cost of producing these
p pieces has average from twenty to
thirty thousand dollars each, and eX
cept in the case of the failure noted,
each production long ago paid for it

It may be. by employees to hide blunders in their work Some years ago In England the magnet was found useful in somewhat similar way in the detection of fraud. Manu- lecturers of bone manure found that they were buying old iron along with the bones. Collectors found that 1t was profitable to insert bits of old metal in the larger bones and thus in- crease the weight. So the manufac- turers provided themselves with powerful magnetic apparatus under which all the bones were passed be. fore being weighed As the bones were slid along q broad groove a large enc would suddenly jump up and cling to the wall where the magnet was concealed.

He was educated in the public schools in New England, and after leaving school went to Boston and engaged in the newspaper publishing business. The year of the Centennial exposition he went to Philadelphia an destablished the "TribuDe and Farmer," and later founded T monthly magazine for women which attained remarkable success. Other publications were established and in the course of time the business of the Curtis Publishing company, of which Mir. Curtis is. president, became the largest of its kind in the world. In
