Investigate Cock Fighting. The
local correspondent of the Galveston
News was this morning brought be-
fore Justice of the Peace Gavito in
regard to an article appearing in the
News on the 10th inst, said article
being written from Brownsville, and
stating that cock fighting was being
conducted in this city on Sunday in
violation of the law. The News cor
respondent in the course of the inves-
tigation, stated that about three
weeks ago, helwitnessed coeHfight in
West Brownsville and that they had
been solicited to bet on one or the
other of the birds. 1t is probable that
a complaint against the owners of the
cock pit and birds will be filed.

STROLLER WHITE cAsTieATEs US WITH THE LASH OF LANG UAGE.

Stroller White must have indiges- tion-or perhaps 'tis the recent dis nal days that have clouded the ment- al horizon Of this usually cheerful soul. In his last issue the Stroller scores us strongly on two counts. We would reprint his indictment did 1t not contain a wanton and unneces- sary attack upon a certain woman, now in Skagway, which we do not care to countenance even by repro duction.
 We have not yet attained that per feet pitch of self satisfied virtue which enables one to casually cast opprobrium upon any woman, howeye humble. Of the character of the wo- man in question We know little and care less. We always supposed that marriage was somewhat like death, inasmuch that past records were then forgiven-and forgotten. Just why Stroller White should be so keen to handle the muck rake is not quite clear.
 As for his designation of certain editorial being "replete in slop and slush." that is mere matter of opin- ion. Perhaps critics quite as com petent as the sage of whitehorse could be found to disagree with his strictures. His exceptions were de void of both dignity and fair play It is easy to write that certain art icle is "slop and slush-"
 It is sometimes harder-though

ALASKA, A LAND OF oPPoRTuN

The statement made" says MT.

It Is undoubtedly the land of The Poor Mans Opportunity and in thousands of instances has so prov ed.
 Most old timers in Alaska would say. and have heard many of them make the statement, that they could not seee why in the name of heaven strong men would stay in the con- gested cities of the east and work for poor wages, when, with S4O0 or $500 they could pull out for Alaska and be independent
 personally. if were today reduc- ed to only $500, and had nothing better in sight than securing employ ment in New York, would unhesi- tatingly take the first train for Alas la, secure in the belief that could pay my fare as l went, and, after arriving at ny destination, have money enough to sustain me in a state of independence until l could make more money. l went into Alas ka before the big gold rush, and had less than that to start with from San Francisco-about S20 after my fare was paId-and no outfit other than clothing.
 Tt would be foolish, however, to advise any one else to make such an endeayor, for I was brought up in the far west, was familiar with min ing, and. above all, knew how to tough 1t and yet survive. Alaska is and will be for years to come a par adise for westerners of that class, and with that knowledge, whether he Ess a dollar or not. It isn't money that counts in a struggle with the primitive; 1t is physical strength, ad- aptability, industry and pluck. ing Age.

A Christmas Gift which will
Last A Lifetime.

Parents, while thinking of suitable
Christmas gift for your children, have
you ever considered the value of one
that will last a lifetime and increase in
value as the years go by? Can you
think of a present that will give more
joy, and happiness, and contentment,
and satisfaction, than one which will
assure your boy or girl a good living,
self-support, independence-success?
The opportunity of presenting your
boy or girl with such a Christmas gift
is offered you by the Dunsmore Bust
ness College. No more useful or valu-
able present could be given a boy or
girl than a business training course at
the ''Dunsmore. 1t will never be for
gotten, it will never wear out and it
cannot be lost or stolen. Its usefulness
and value will increase with use, and
it will make each succeeding Christ
mas brighter than the last by reason Of
the increased blessings it will bring.
Such gift only commences on Christ
mas. 1t continues year after year
bringing success to the receiver.

LONGEVITY AMONG JEWS.

THE REASONS FOR IT ARE HYGIENIC
AND RELIGIOUS.
Superficial scrutiny of the vital sta
tistics yields the Jew prominent posi-
ton In the sanitary world, if longevity
serves as any index of hygienic living.
With the average length of life for all
Christian people placed at 26 years II
months Q9O0,) the Jew may hope to
reach 4S years 9.months.
Neufville QS55,) inquiring into the
comparative duration of life and causes
of death of Jews and Christians in
Frankfort, learned that one-fourth of
the Jewish population was living be-
yond seventy-one years, while only
one-fourth of their neighbors was living
beyond the age of fifty-nine years ten
months. Abbott claims that ''they ii
e., Jews,) are much less frequently the
subjects of tubercular and acute epide-
mic diseases than any other race of
mankind"
Why should this seeming vital supe-
riority exist? According to Richardson
''the causes are simply summed up in
the term, 'soberness of life.' The Jew
drinks less than his even Christian,
he takes as a rule better food; he mar
ries earlier, he rears the children he has
brought into the world with greater
personal care; he tends the aged more
thoughtfully; he takes better care of
his poor and he takes better care of him.
self" To this might have been added
that through religious customs hygienic
tendencies become an inheritance
