The Post Intelligencer of Seattle in its issue of the 18th had picture of the women of the Metlakahtla women's auxiliary together with that of Rev. Duncan, also descriptive article of the movement among the natives there from which we take the following:
 One of the most notable features of tte exhibit made by the women of Alaska at the exposition is the work of the Indians of Metlakahtla.
 Metlakahtla, one of the most south eastern towns of Alaska, has attracted a great deal of attention because of the progress of the Tsimpsean Indians in the arts of civilization. Under the guidance of Rev. William Duncan, who for more than fifty years lived among the tribesmen whom he found in state of savagery, the Indians have prospered, learned industry and today present one of the most inter- esting sociological studies in the world Before Mir. Duncan there was DO Metlakahtla. He is IS years old now and after him the fate of the colony cannot be prophesied.
 The exhibit prepared by the Metla- kahatla women compares favorably with any from the north. There are oil paintings, water colors, wood carv- ing, woven baskets, embroidery, fancy work, knitting, crocheting, preserved fruits and exquisite bead work. The exhibit is now being placed in the Alaska building at the fair.
 Morally Metlakahtla has few if any equals in the country Crime is almost unknown and, through the efforts of Mir. Duncan intoxicating liquor and tobacco have no place in the settle ment.
 The town has a native population of about 75O. It has five public bulld- ings, the largest of which has the distinction of being the largest church in Alaska. It seats 900 persons. The

TO MAINTAIN CATHEDRAL.
Larger Endowment Needed Before
Edifce Can Be Opened.

The Cathedral OF St. John the Divine, il
was learned yesterday. is not likely to be
opened for public use for five or six months
at least, not merely because the workmen
will not have IL ready, but also because.
with all OF the hundreds of thousands OF
dollars that have been raised there is not
sufficient income to maintain II If opened
One of the contractors said yesterday that
his firm had never promised that the work
would be done at any particular time
That the cathedral would be ready for use
by December u. st. Johns Day, which is
the anniversary of the laying Of the corner
stone, has never been assured, it was said
Early in tha history OF the cathedral
project two endowment funds were re-
ceived, together amounting to about $500
Co., Later on. as gifts came in that were
undesignated, they were given to the build
ing funds until these funds reached an
amount equal to the endowment. That
point was attained, and after that gifts
were divided equally, If undesignated, be-
tween the building and the permanent
fund.
The income of the cathedral at present is
about $4,000 year. This is the sim avail
able to maintain the entire work The pur-
pose now is, it was learned, IL not really
to delay opening the structure until money
for endowment is raised. at least TO make
use OF the five or six months before the i'm
provements are completed, TO get s1.oOo OOO
