EXECUTIVE ERROR.

f President Taft is, as he is re- ported to be, the best informed mau in the national capital on the sub Ject of Alaska, it would be interest. ing to an Alaskan to hear what some of the government there might say of us. The President in his Seattle speech, thought it would be unwise to permit a comparatively small popula- ton in Southeastern Alaska to legis- late for the whole huge territory. Furthermore, the four centers of pop uladon in the territory are SO jeal- ous of one another that it would be extremely difficult for them to legis- late in harmony or with satisfaction to all on any subject.
 Now, whoever informed the presi- dent that Southeastern Alaska could swing a majority in territorial leg islature must have exercised his hu- nor out of season. It was cruel joke to play on so prominent a per son as a president, and the perpetra- tor deserves punishment equivalent [ one years continuous residence in Juneau. at least.

PROTECT THE SEAL ISLANDS.

The Camp Fire Club is about to start a campaign of publicity against a renewal of the lease to the Pribilof islands, carrying with it the privilege of slaughtering certain number of young male seals on land, where they are helpless. The showing of returns to the government from the opera tons of the present lease are that it has cost the government very much more money to protect the lessees in their monopoly than the govern ment received from them, so that, as matter of dollars and cents, the pub lie purse would actually benefit by the complete extermination of the seal herd.
 But on the theory that the herd should be preserved from extermina- ton it would seem that it is high time that an experiment be made by applying to the seal herd the same rules that are applied to the preserya ton of game birds and animals, pro lection complete and absolute, so far as this is possible. during the breed ing season. It may be impossible, in deed. it is impossible, save by the consent of all the maritime nations of the world, to prevent the killing of seal in the waters of the open ocean. The United States alone, how ever. and without asking the consent of any one else, can prevent the slaughter of any seal on the breeding islands,
 It is a historic fact that the seal herd once before, during Russian own ership of the islands, decreased to numbers almost as small as at pres ent; and that the cessation of all killing on land for a period of fifteen years resulted in the expansion Of the herd to an extraordinary size. It is true that this occurred before the days of pelagic sealing. It does not eonclusiyely appear that pelagic sealing alone is responsible for the great dlmlnution of the herd, although this is an argument advanced, princi- pally on behalf of the holders of the monopoly. The granting of any mo- nopoly does not at any time particu- larly appeal to the American people. In the particular instance it is time an end was put to it; and the herd protected absolutely, in the rOOkeries at least.-Seattle P.

 the Icy Water
 On Aug. 80 we arrived at Rudolf is- land the most northern of the Franz Josef group and simply mass of ice and high glaciers, where we had plan ned to spend the winter. While cruis- ing near Northbrooke island saw one day from the "crow's nest' a singular dark body just awash on the surface of the water. AS we came nearer and nearer I was possessed by a rather unusual desire to know what this dark mass was. Putting up my glass es. l gave the order for dead slow" and we passed the object closely on the starboard side. saw clearly that 1t was the body of a man clothed in great skin coat, with the usual hood, and with mittens on the hands. The face was not discernible, but 1t dawn ed on me suddenly that this might be the remains of the Swedish balloonist Andree. who had been lost in the arc tic about two years before, or perhaps one of the men who had been lost In the Abruzzi expedition.
 was about to stop the steamship and procure the body when 1t occur red to me that to take corpse on board would destroy the good spirit and courage of the members of the polar party, for there Is a general su- perstitlon among sailors that shio is doomed when a dead body Is on board. The first officer and myself were the only ones who witnessed this ghastly spectacle. and neither mentioned the fact. fearing that the discovery would cast shadow over the entire party. We have both always believed that this was the body of Andree, and l have often regretted that 1t had not been in my power to give him decent burial.-Captaln Edwin Coffin of the Ziegler Polar Expedition in National Magazine.

His Idea of Sport.

Pittsburg has physician who Is not only an ardent sportsman, but a gallant one as we'll Being a crack shot, he would not think of shooting a rabbit which was sitting still nor a pheasant or partridge which was on the ground or perched upon a limb, considering such easy shots to be tame and nsportsmanlike Among his acquaintances Is man who is much given to boasting of his prov. ess with gun. and with the opening of the shooting season, the doctor invited him out to his country place for days shooting. They had not gone far when the dog started a pheasant from some bushes and the bird. instead of taking flight at once, scuttled out into the opening and ran along the ground for some dis tance. In such cases the true sports man will wait until the bird rises in the air, disdaining anything but a wing shot" The guest, however, promptly dropped to his knee and took aim at the bird as it scamp cred along the ground.
 Wait, wait!" cried the doctor Don't shoot him yet; don't shoot while he is running!"
 No. mo-" whispered the other excitedly '1'm not going to, I'll wait till he stops" Pittsburg Gazette Times.

URGED PURCHASEOF
 ALASKA
PROFESSOR BREWER CONVINCED SEWARD BUT FOUND JOHN-
 SON DIFFICULT.

To William H. Brewer, who died tt his home in New Haven recently ,elongs much of the credit for tn purchase of Alaska. It was he Whl
 as largely instrumental in persuad ,ng President Johnson and Secretary oeward of the advisability of that move.
 T urged threo reasons upon Sew lrd for buying Alaska" said Prof Brewer recently. First we need il for it's fisheries rights l said tC lim. What great thing for Amer lca if We owned the Banks of New, foundland. See how much the fish. ng industry built up the Dutch re, public. England has always foster ed her fishing industry and see her results!'
 Second, I said that Alaska. must become a great source of ice for he Pacific coast How laughable hat reason appears now! Yet it vas very scientific argument then. md the company which controls the fishing industries of Alaska was or iginally only an ice company, accord lng to it's charter
 Third was very sentimental req son, but I am inclined to think that it is being demonstrated by the events of later years. l said that the climate and scenery of Alaska were of pecuniary value. It was a land of unequaled sublimity and grand eur. The Alps have brought mil lions of dollars into Switzerland. The White mountains have brought fortunes into New Hampshire. Both will in time yield to Alaska in noun tain scenery. l can still see Sew ard smile as I told him that the people of the United States would. in time, want to visit Alaska for the sake of the scenery. l said I might not live to see the time. but that a nation lives longer than a man, and that the time would surely come when trips to the North re- gions would be commonly made for pleasure"
 Seward was convinced but John son proved more difficult A while after Prof. Brewers conversation however, the President visited New Haven, and there the advocate of Alaska met him and completed his work
 Prof. Brewer was an expert on fhe subject of the horse. More than 30 years ago he predicted the com ing of the two-minute racer. He also advocated the use of horseaesh IS food.
 He won considerable reputation as traveller, and was much at home in the northern regions He also had climbed several of the highest peaks of the Rockies. In the re cent Peary-Cook controversy he stood up for the discredited explorer and declared that both men might have reached the pole. - New York Tribune.

WOULD WIN BRIDE WITH JUN
SUITOR FIRST TRIES GUITAR
 THEN CHANGES TO MORE
 DEADLY WEAPON.

BUFFALO. - Hereafter Albert Clemento will probably go about the business of love making in the plain, ordinary way.
 That is, he will at the expiration of 60 days, during which time he will ruminate on his folly. Clemen- to's trouble followed his efforts to substitute a gun for the strains of his guitar 10 win the affections of the object of his adoration.
 For weeks he was enamored of the pretty Josephine Serianni. who lives with her parents at 1900 Ash land avenue, Niagara Falls. but he made poor headway into the girls affections and decided to try the eff feet of music on her sensitive soul Night before last he stole up under her window with his guitar and be gan to gently twang the strings. There was no response for time
 Then the head of the young wo- man appeared at an upper window and she very unpoetically declared that she did not like the quality of the music and preferred the chirp of the crickets. Clemento's hot blood was up. He drew a revolver and. pointing at his lady love, informed her that if she did not requite his love he would shoot. The girl did the natural thing and screamed.
 Her father was below the stairs and he came out and grabbed the startled troubadour by the neck and administered severe shaking, af- ter which he turned him over to the police. To Judge Piper he de- clared he didn't care what became of him now and the judge, taking him at his word, sentenced him to 50 days in the county jail.
