Believing tIlat the increased produc-
ton Of gold is responsible for the high
prices. a Yale professor thinks the only
permanent remedy for them is the
adoption Of a new standard of money
to sappiaRt the gold dollar. The new
unit of exchange which he proposes
wotild be called ''dflF' and would be
an imaginary Unit. Few people, in all
likelihood, would look with favor on the
substitution of an imaginary unit for
one that Is tanefble

In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away, although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differing
slightly in size, at the fall OF the year,

an acorn which he adjusts to one Of
the holes prepared for its reception.
But he does not eat the acorn, for, as
a rule, he is not a vegetarian. His OBJ

The performance of My Wife's Husband" by the Amateur Dramatic club at Euks hall last night was on the whole a satisfactory production. True. some of the players were hardly adequate to their parts, and the play itself was tedious in dialogue and rather too involved in situation, es- pociauy in the third act but in the main the piece was pleasing and well played
 The great fault of the play itself is that its construction is too much dependent upon exaggerated situations and too broadly burIcsque. There were many really clever situations and the main theme was well worked out while the lines were Imaginable and the parts distinct and well drawn.
 With more spritely and compress sed comedy and with additional eX, pericuce the same cast should be able to present play that will stand comparison with that of any profes- sional company seen in Skagway. This will undoubtedly be done, for the attendance last night was rlattcr- ing and proved that the people of skagway will support straightforward dramatic efforts. It is proposed to take new members into the Dramatic club. to select the best talent by com peuuve tests. and to present more preteutious pieces from time to time. Such a plan win be successful, for last nights performance was in the uatw of an experiment and it showed that good talent exists in Skagway and that it will play to appreciative aud fences.
 Alec Blanchard easily carried off the houors last night in his imperson- auou of Tragedy Jack" Mir. Blan- chard. who has been seen before by Skagway audiences. has the stage presence and ease of a professional
