Memorial Day Exercises

The bad weather of Monday was no doubt responsible for tie meag- CT attendance at the Memorial Day exercises at Redmen's Hall on that day. The program as printed in last weeks Sentinel was given with but one or two minor changes oc- casioned by the inclemenency of the weather, demonstrating that though far away from the centra national head, here in Alaska beat hearts as loyal and true as the Union possesses anywhere. !
 The prettiest feature of the pro- gram was the excellent song of the school children, while Leonard Campbell's rendition of Lincoln's immortal words at Gettysburg touched a responsive chord in the breasts of his hearers.
 During his oration Judge Snyder went son'sWhat fully into the origin and aims of the CA. R. of which he said in part:
 It is, first, 10 preserve and strengthen those kind and frater- nal feelings which bind together the soldiers, sailors and marines who united to suppress the rebel lion and to perpetuate the history and memory of the dead. Second, To assist such former comrades-in- arms as need help and protection, and to extend needful aid to the widows and orphans of those who have fallen. Third, To maintain true alleginece to the United States of America, based upon a para mount respect Tor and fidelity to the National Constitution and ' r.
 Laws, and to encourage the spread of universal liberty. equal rights ond justice to all men.
 Based upon these principles and objects, is <, it any wonder that this Nation oi Americans revere the day set apart to keep alive the spirit of patriotism, to teach re- spect for the H5g and love of country
 After the services at the hall the Zarembo took a capacity crowd to the cemetary where the final ceta- monies of the day were held.

BOGUS WATER INSPECTOR.
Attempts to Enter Residences-Re
ported to Police.

The police have received several COM
plants in the past few days from resi-
dents along 18th street extended relative
to a man attempting to gain entrance to
private residences under the guise OF a
water department inspector. 1t is stated
the man usually calls at an hour during
the daytime when the male members OF
families are likely to be absent.
So far as has been learned. the so-called
inspector has not yet succeeded In gaining
an entrance to any Of the houses. though,
upon several occasions. II Is stated, he at
tempted to force his way past persons
who responded to the door bell. In order
that there might be no mistake the water
department was communicated with and
the fellow was denounced as an imposter.
The police Of the tenth precinct and de-
tectiye headquarters were notified OF the
matter, and, as a result. several men have
been detailed in that section with orders
to arrest any suspects. It is presumed
the mans purpose was robbery.

The question of race suicide does not
trouble Germany, though there is a
steady drain upon her population
through emigration. Last year nearly
100000 left her, and there are now
about 100000 Germans in the United
States; between 100000 and 100000
in Russia, and a large Teutonic repre-
sentation in Australia and Brazil. Not
withstanding this, the population has
almost doubled in fifty years. In the
last eighteen it has increased from 40
100000 to over 61,177.OOO, and the sur
plus Of births over deaths has risen
from III per cent in 1890 to 14.5 per
cent in 1904. The deposits of these
people in the savings banks guaranteed
by their various municipalities amount
to nearly S3,25O0OO,0OO No wonder

HUNTED BY A BUFFALO.
eGeeGs&eGeeegeeeee:

The time has gone by for hunting
buffalo on the plains. While it lasted,
the sport was followed too closely for
continuance. The pursuit of the game
was exciting, but when the buffalo
turned hunter, and the object Of his
search was the sportsman, the interest
in the outcome of the chase was greatly
heightened. The author Of ''The Faith
err Of St Kilda," r. Campbell, tells in
the pages of his book how he engaged
in one of these double-headed encoun-
tiers in the country of the Saskatche-
wan River.
The sight Of the huge monsters ca
reening madly along with fiery eyes
and tossing names, followed sometimes
by an eagle-feathered savage, mounted
on a strangely decked-out pony, with
the scalp of his latest enemy flying be-
hind him, utterly demoralized my
steady-going, faithful nag, and he ran
away with me down steep bank, in
spite of all my efforts, pitched me
headlong against a great granite block,
and himself fed madly over the prai-

as to kill him.
AS the buffalo turned upon me / rose
and ran around the boulder, he after
me, and so we chased each other for life
and death. A bullet from the fint-lock
gun Of one Of the savages hit the boul-
der and sent splinter Of it into my
hand, leaving me wound Of which I
still carry the trace.
Scarcely knowing I was hit, I ran
on until my breath was almost gone.

exist; but out Of the fount Of his own
W1sdom-a wisdom so sound as to

way in which he has dealt with Jealous

which, at Adua in '96, he defeated the

from Italy an honorable truce,
