What promises to be the greatest trial thus far in the history of Alaska is now Tn she preliminary stages at Ju- ncau. where jurymen to try Joseph Mcdonald for murder are now being examined.
 According to the Juneau pa T-crS. one juror. Frank Harvey, had been accepted up to We'd resday night, and it looked as though considerable trouble would be experienced in secur- ics the necessary twelve.
 The crime charged Is mur- OCT in the first degree. for the killing of \. C. Jones. formerly all employee of the Treadwell mines. at the time when Mae Donald was superintendent there. It appears that Jones desired that mines be shut down on Sudnays, and that in urging Mcdonald to close them hot words passed be- tween the men. Later Jones was found dead. Macdonald

Gold Fish in Fountains.

Of the beautiful Washington. There used
to be a pond in the west grounds of the
Capitol which was stocked with gold

die There was some local excitement
when the discovery was made that cells
had found their way into this pond and
were destroying the gold fish.
To recall memories of the Capitol fish
pond and the little fountains that used
to bubble in the west grounds Of the
Capitol one may read the following,
which the Rambler abstracted from a re-
port Of the date Of 1872:
THE fish pond west Of the Capitol has
been thoroughly cleaned and the pile Of
stones in it removed. 1t was found that
this pile Of stones instead Of being a
protection for the fish was but a harbor
for cells. some thirty of which. varying in
size from six inches to three feet in
length. were killed. They were very de-
structive to the gold fish. and to prevent

The house was the office Of the stone

the stone office was also abandoned and
it is ruinous today. On the east and
west sides are openings deeper and high
er than the rest and which once were

in the walls which once We're windows.
All the sashes have disappeared and
what were castings are now black and

The stone house is about ten feet

Is about ten feet from the ground and
the lower side is about eight feet The
house was built of many kinds Of stone
blue, gray, red and nearly white. The
blocks and slabs are of various sizes
and shapes, but all are dressed. It
would seem that perhaps many of the
older buildings Of the city which have
disappeared are represented in this
fragmentary or sort of rag-time stone
ruin.
Twenty street along the block
on which this house stands is improved
as to its roadway. The asphalt is new

The driveway from and to the street is

this to the front door. On each side OF
the entrance is high-oacked stone

the occupants of the house do not often

On the outer arm-rests of these benches

Fishing in Potomac Lagoon.

DERCHED on the gray stone wall that
curves around the great lagoon OF
Potomac Park you may sec men and
boys and some women and girls fishing.
You will see some Of them as you rush
around the oiled auto roads. but many
will be hidden from your view by tho
masses OF shrubbery growing on the
grassy slopes between the driveways and

little boathouse and refreshment stand

oars and the numbsr OF hard-pulled
strokes you make Will revise your notion

They even fish languidly. Some. rccum-

turned, seem to sleep while one hand
holds the fishing line. Others sit and

Conspicuous among those fishing
there Is the man who is taking a day
of from the office. from the workshop
or even from the home. Sometimes he
has his wife with him. and perhaps
the children are along. too. These
domestic outings are an interesting
spectacle. You will find that some OF
the fishermen and fishermaids sit on
the park benches that stand at Inter-
walls on the path that leads along the
wall and from the shade of the shrub
berry throw their hooks far out into the
water
The largest number of these fisher
men sit or loll on the wall under tho
floral slopes near the inlet and outlet
bridges casting their lines into the
lagoon or the river. 1t would seem
from the popularity of these places
that either the best fishing or the
greatest comfort Is to be found there.
You may wait long time before
seeing a fish taken from tho waeAr. but
patience Is q common virtue along the
lake and river walls. What do they
catch? Bass, rock, perch, catfish. sarp
and crappies. which a quiet aid ex-

John Album probably obtained his first
cutting of the Catawba grape. then called
the Tokay grape. from a Mrs. Scholl,
who kept a hotel or ordinary at Clarks-
