would hold the Pedagog's cold,
bloodless hand in his thin, taper

to talk, it was of transcendental-
ism or the Odyssey. The CONVEX

Poet and the Pedagog called it
soul-converse and were very, very
happy.
The wedding was quiet af-
fair. 1t was performed by a
priest of some mystic long
named cult, and the Poet bought
a straw hat for, the occasion. AT
terward he bit off half the brim
in absent minded perturbation.
The Pedagog wore a combination
of green and gray, very much like
the ladies in the 13-cent chromos

Nevertheless they babbled of af-
finity and the stars and were
oh, SO tremendously happy!
Finally, with things in apple
pie order, the Pedagog prepared
their first warm meal, and the
Poet, with a sigh of dreamy COM
fort, sat down to partake thereof.
The Poet shifted his high-bred
nose. There is something burn

 The American Mining Congress has gone on record in opposition to taking any part in attempting to frame laws for the regulation of the sale of mining stocks. In a resolution the mem bers declare that the public in purchasing mining stock must use it's own discre. tion, as in the purchase of anything else. In other words the Mining Con- gress does not feel that it is part of it's duties to exerclse a guardianship over the actions of the purchasing public.
 Judge c. D. Murane, of the Second division of Alaska, is facing impeach ment proceedings which are expected to be heard at the present session of congress.

The assayer who melted the brick also states that there is absolutely no question of the gold having been taken from quartz.

A representative of one of the largest fur houses in the world, dealing eX- clusively in American raw furs, says that raw furs this coming winter will bring extremely high prices. There are small stocks in the primary markets in both North America and Europe and conditions, at the present time, point to a very strong demand, as furs are surely very fashionable. A woman's wardrobe is not complete without one or more sets of furs Even in mild climate there are large quantities of fur overcoats sold to gentlemen.
 Another complication has arisen in the Hum boldt steamship case by the banding down of a decision of the in- terstate commerce commission, stating tLat it has no jurisdiction over that part of the White Pass railway system which runs through Canadian territory, that it's jurisdiction only extends in Alaska to the Canadian boundary line. It is asserted that the entire matter of the alleged discrimination of rates against the Hum boldt Steamship com pany will now have to be dealt with by special Alaska railroad commission.
 With the removal of the Peterson from the run for the winter, it again leaves Haines without adequate mail and transportation service between here and Skagway. Since the Peterson took over the carrying of the mails, the service has not been satisfactory on ac- count of the irregularity of saillngs. 1t has often been necessary to take her off the run for use by the army in it's vari- ous needs. When officers or soldiers are required to go to distant points, the mails to Skgaway have had to lay over until the arrival of one of the boats of the line.-Haines Press.

A week or more ago a COW came into Afognak with bear clinging to it's back. The inhabitants never go away from the village without being we'll armed.
 On the Alaska peninsula, sixty miles east of Chignic, the village of Perry has been established and is now the home of some cue hundred natives, refugees from Katmai and Douglas, driven from their former abiding places by the eruption of Mount Katmai.

Especial to The Gate City.]
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 23.-As
result of his long term Of public
service, the, late Senator Allison was
able to secure for his friends about
five times as much patronage as any
other senator
Although but new senator as yet,
the successor of Senator Allison has
secured his full share of patronage
and he has not disturbed any Iowa
man holding any position by appoint.
ment or designation by Senator ALI
son. Very few men coming to Wash
ington in either the senate or the
house have ever displayed such un.
selfish magnanimity.
During a period OF almost forty
years it was my pleasure and pride to
adhere to the political fortunes of
Senator Allison. On that account |
opposed the aspirations of Governor
Larrabee and Governor Cummins. 1t
was very clear to me that after Sen
ator Allison had acquired leadership
in the senate it would be unwlse to
send any new man in his place. OF
course, when Senator Allison died, his
successor must needs be chosen, and
Senator Cummins Is in the place SO
long occupied by the statesman OF
Dubuque.
/, Not very long ago, l needed a friend

Senator Cum1nins received me very
cordially, and was prompt to serve

not have been more prompt l wani
my friends, particularly my newspa
per friends, to know this fact.
On the occasion referred to, went
to Congressman Kennedy, told him
that needed a helpful friend at that
end of the capitol; and my old friends
Gear or Clark could not have respond
ed more promptly nor willingly.
Because of almost total blindness,
have been out OF regular newspaper

past services have not been wholly
forgotten. With returning vision,
