CONFIRMATION SERVICE
 BY BISHOP ROWE

Last night at the church of the Epiphany Bishop Rowe adminis- tered the apostolic rife of cOnfir- nation. Seven candidates were taken into the church. The mu- sic was very appropriate. The church was completely filled with people.
 Bishop Rowe preached with his usual power. His sermon was on "Thc Church of Christ" He dwelt on the eighth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, where Philip, the deacon, baptized many in Samaria and the aDOsiles--ihc predeces- sors of bishOps--camc down from Jerusalem and "laid their hands upon them" in confirma- tion; and how today, in the Church of Christ, confirmation is admin istercd in the same way and by the same power.
 Rev. F.. p. Iicglcr assisted in the service and Rev. w. II. Xicg- Ter presented tho candidates. \

WHERE JENNINGS STANDS.

Robert Jennings has declared he will accept the nomination for delegate to congress on the plat form of the Democratic party and on that platform only. He says
 II believe that Alaska ought to have in the next congress a rep reSentative who will be in accord with the dominant party; it is a foregonc conclusion that the con gross and the entire national ad- ministration will be Democratic. At the outset of my candidacy announced that my candidacy was subject to the action of the Dem- ocratiC convention, and delegates to that convention have been elected with that understanding. If the platform 10 be adopted by that convention does not please me, l will not be nominated; if it does not please the people Q
 Alaska l will not be elected. If, therefore, I am elected. it will be on the platform of the Democrat ic party .'--Robcrt w. Jennings.

 AT EAGLE SMOKER

 MT. E. c. Campbell, the promi- nent mining engineer who recent ly arrived from London, was sum- moned from the gallery to cx- plain why he was he was in Val dez again after having been here before. MT. Campbell explained that he had returned because while here he had seen several promising prospects and he be- lievcd and hoped this district would develop some good mines. He represented English capital and hoped to be able to make some investments which would prove profitable to this district and the people in the old cOun- try who were willing to risk their money in aiding the development of the camp. He was requested by the chair to remove his coat, make himself at home and stick around awhile.
 The entertainment was brought io close by several short boxing bouts. The floor was like glass and the athletes found difficulty in keeping their feet, which made fast foot work not only impOssi- blc but dangerous. The prelim- mary was between Dalton and McKenna and was followed by an exhibition by Chas. Bush and Tom Kingsley. The latter is one of the clcverest boxers in the north and outclassed his smaller but game opponent.
 The wind up of the pleasant evening was fast threc-round go between Gene ClOsterman and Johnny Kacerosky. They mixed things in good shape and both showed the ability to give and take punishment in a friendly bout. Referee Bowling declared the contest draw.
 Notes.
 Harry King sang an Irish song and was forced to respond to enc0reS three times.
 The "Alamo Rag" by the trio cost Chief Scott the price of scv- rral cigars.
 Charley Bush tried to make change out of the wash tub in which the money was kept and was forced to leave the whole piece.
 Marshal Sullivan joined the Eagles 10 years ago in Nome and wanted iO see every man in inc order.
 The dance by Mr. Tcrrrl was clever and well received.
 The physical culture display of muscular control by soldier from the Post was an interesting feature of the evening.
 Favorable comments were heard on all sides regarding the high-class music furnished by the orchestra.
 The Eagle smoker was the best ever.

Physical Wreck Restored

Kidney Remedy

I feel II my duty to furnish you
with my testimonial as to what
your remedy Swamp-Root did for
me when I was a physical wreck
from kidney and bladder trouble.
Some years ago 1 was not able
to do any work and could only just
creep around and am satisfied that
had it not been for DIR. Kilmer's
swamp Root would not have lived.
After using the preparation for one
month 1 was able to work some
and when I had used $500 worth
of Swamp-Root I could do a good
days work. I used about $1,000
worth altogether and would not
take $4,000 fer the good that 1t
did me. / consider 1t a God-send
to suffering humanity for the dis
eases for which you recommend 1t
and have recommended it to many
sufferers.

biggest liner in the world.
Our boat was the second let
down but the first to strike the
water. In it, though 1t would
have held more. were but 20
women, two sailors and stew
ard. The latter were to do the
rowing.
In few minutes the Titanic
began to list. The lights OF the
lowest deck were suddenly snuff
ed out. The mast lights dropped
further down.
Then the tragedy developed
with a relentless swiftness. Deck

out as the boat dropped lower
and lower In the sea. At last but
rows Of lights we're left. Then
the water reached the port holes
and as It rushed into her there
was one great explosion and an
other, and the ship left the hori-
zon unbroken. As the ship sank
We started rowing. All night We
made those three keep to the
oars. They wanted to stop, but
We told them to keep on.
: One woman had white satin
slippers and evening dress.
The boats leaked and women
were in freezing water up to thesr
knees.
For eight hours 16 boatloads
OF historical. cold, wet. hungry
women and men were at the
mercy of the elements.
We kept on rowing. The men
were exhausted. SO we women
took hand. The oars were
heavy. With the aid of another
woman could scarcely swing one
of them.
We gave ur hope Of ever reach
ing that light. 1t had grown
larger. but was no nearer. We
had no food, little clothing, no
heat and, nearly dead, the boat
shipping water. Those women
did not know whether they were
ever to see their husbands and
sons again.
Somebody looked back. There
was a big searehlight burning on
a great liner. 1t was the most
beautiful sight l shall ever see.

The last I saw Of Major Butt

tanic apparently with their arms
entwined about each others,
shoulders. This was the last
glimpse / had of them from the
lifeboat. Throughout, the whole
panic and during the landing of

ships officers. Like soldiers they
seemed. AS I remember 1t, the
two were together throughout the
whole of the panic. 1 saw their
figures outlined again the sky.
Few believed at first that the
ship could 60 down. Many went
back to bed. Some of the stew
ards were riding bicycles around
the gymnasium as the boat was
