Southeastern Alaska was handed another lemon by the Pacific Coast Steamship Co.,, this last week when the Ramona was put on the run to replace the ill-fated Cottage City It is peculiar how this company has apparently deliberately neglec- ted to consider the wishes of the people who make 1t possible for them to operate in this part of the world. It is in the memory of many of us when the P. C. s. s. Co. had the cream of the business in this region, while now they have and deserve only the skim milk. They kept the poor old Cottage on the run when common business sense demanded that they replace her by a modern vessel. It was with almost a sigh of relief that Alaskans heard that she had been forceably retired, but the slowness and the vrctched accommodations of the vessel put in her place makes it appear that we have been turned out of the irving pan into the fire.
 If the Pacific Coast Steamship company is trying to put itself out business by refusing to consider the convenience Of their patrons here, and thus drive lhem to patr 0nizing rival lines. they are succeeding most admirably.

Wolves are multiplying at an alarming rate and the deer, Hpon which they spbsist, are decreasing in proportion. It is unsafe for anyone to go into th}e ttlh}e hills unacompanied because Qf the ravaging bands of these murderous animals. Several people in south- eastern Alaska have disappeared recently and the common belief is that they have become food for the wolves. Large packs of them are reported in the vicinity of nearly all the surrounding camps. A high bounty, sufficient to induce a large number of hunters to engage in the work of rapid extermination would be more effective and economical than a stingy bounty which only results in their destruction at about the same rate as they increase. - Ketchikan Miner.

is an old and sometimes truthful adage
but that honor sometimes exists be-

oughly exemplified in a thrilling west

at the Bijou theatre today. The pic
ture is one of the famous Vitagraph
make and is entitled, Man to Man.
The plot is laid in the most pic

and has the peculiar feature Of having
as it's hero a desperate known as
Black Hart" BLACK Hart" is q des-
perado of the truly western type.
Finally the sheriff gets on his trail
and the desperate, learning that he is
being sought by justice. mounts his
horse and makes for parts unknown.
The sheriff traces the bad man to q
saloon and confident that his man is
concealed within the walls, makes a
thorough search, but Black Hart, ever
on the alert, succeeds in making his
escape, the sheriff finally following in
hot pursuit.
Justice is at last rewarded and the
desperate is overta1en, disarmed and
handcuffed and the two start back 70

The annual Work Day. has netted
the Florida Baptist Orphanage a good

their support to the home, and eight

Plans are on foot for the erection
of other buildings needed to enlarge
their capacity for training and pre-
pairing the inmates of the home for
self-support and usefulness. So all
money raised on the seventh is under

fullest expectations, and that the
friends of the work will be liberal in
their contributions on the seventh.

R. 0. HOFFMAN
IS ACQUITTED
COUNTY SOLICITOR ANNOUNCED
YESTERDAY MORNING IN THE
COURT OF RECORD THAT HE
WOULD FILE NO INFORMATION
AGAINST REAL ESTATE MAN.

Yesterday morning in the court of
record, the county solicitor announced
that in the case Of r. o. Hoffman,
who was charged with having obtain
ed money under false pretense, no
information would be fled thus COM
pletely exonorating Mr.. Hoffman.
1t will be remembered that several
months ago, Hoffman, who Is a prom
inent real estate man, was arrested
IN Selma, Ala, and brought back to
this city by Sheriff Van Pelt, It be-
ing charged that he had obtained
money under false pretenses by sell
ing property which he knew to be
mortgaged but which he claimed was
free from all encumbrances. He was
given a hearing before Justice OF the
Peace Nicholson and was bound over
to the criminal court.
Mr.. Hoffman, at the time Of his ar
rest, and later, expressed himself as
feeling confident that he could cindt-
cate himself of the charges and his
friends are not surprised at the action
of the county solicitor in failing to file
information against him.
It has been intimated by Hoffman's
friends that he will enter suit against
the parties who made the affidavit
charging him with the offense with
which he was charged. but he is said
TO have declined to state whether he
intended doing 50 or not.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Vaudeville at Opera House.


When Manager Smith began putting
on vaudeville this season at the opera
house The Journals criticism was that
there were too many acts, and sug
gested that he put on ono feature act
with three or four others. Nick
Smith is one manager that tries to
please his patrons and he has decided
less quantity is what will please Pen
sacola theatregoers.
For the feature act this week the
LaPestte Emelie Troupe, bicycle riders,
is all that could be asked and the
quartet Of performers are as classy as
three dainty little women in their cos
tunes of silk do tricks upon their BIZ
cycles which are most daring. This Is
a very fine act and is alone worth
going to see.
McNally and Stewart are a good
company and their act is making a hit
with the audience. McNally does a
black-face stunt and his songs and
jokes and his dancing are especially
amusing, while his human locomo-
tive" stunt affords much merriment.
Miss Stewart sings several tuneful and
catchy songs and her voice is a very
sweet one. In fact, this entire act is
one which viii amuse and please both
the old and the young.
The Australian Musical Millers do
a comedy musical act, which, of its
kind, is very good. 1t affords many
laughs. and laughs are what people go
to shows for, and the queer looking
arrangements from which the pair ex-
tract near music and some real music
are clever get-ups, to say the least.
The bill is opened by Horace Brad
ford, a comedy cartoonist, whose work
is clever of its kind. He will put on
different works at each performance
and it is remarkable how much art
he can put into some Of his work in
such a short time.
The other act is omitted this week
on account Of Miss Gilkey contracting
typhoid fever the early part of the
week while playing in Mobile. Man
ager Smih says he regrets being one
act shy this week but he has tried to
make up for it with generous supply
of moving pictures, showing two new
reels at each performance.
There viii be only one matinee this
week, Saturday afternoon. The ladies
and children will enjoy this bill more
than any which has appeared this sea-
SON. The bicycle act and the black
face act viii delight the children as
well as the grownups.
