Probably the greatest film ever pro- duced up to the present time has ar rived and will be shown at the Lyric theatre tonight and tomorrow night. The film is "The Prisoner of Zenda,' acted by James K. Hackett, who used this vehicle to gain his great fame on the American stage.
 On the eve of his coronation, Rudolf, the weak king of kuritauia, finds him self prisoner at Zenda, in the power of Black Michael, an unprincipled mem Der of the reigning house, who Is plotting to secure the throne for him self. In this dilemma the kings friends find Rudolf Rassendyll, soldier of fortune who bears startling resem- blance to the king. They urge him to impersonate the king and submit to be crowned. Rassendyll falls in love with the Princess Flavia, and after desper. ate struggle with himself, decides to sacrifice his love and remain faithful to hIs oath to restore the king to his rightful throne. After series of stir ring adventures, that duty is aceom plished, and Rassendyl reveals his true identity to the Princess, who in heroic repunciation sacrifices her -own love because the welfare of her people demands her to rule in Ruritania.

! Miss Thora Smith will leave on Thursday for Kennicott, where she will take charge of the public school to open June 1st for the benefit of the Mccarthy and Kennicott children. = Chitina Leader, May 27
 A new chemical fire engine arrived last week and has been installed in the pump house. The boys on Front street should organize team to handle the new engine, which may head off seri ous fire if they know how to use it. L.. G. Thomas has, been awarded the contract for the building and finishing the new Douglas bank. While the building is to be but one story, no ex- lpense is to be spared in the interior finishing, which will be "thing of beauty"
 William Holmes, who left Douglas about year ago to make his home in New Zealand, has returned. He found that many changes had come to New Zealand since he last visited it twelve years ago; that the cost of living is not materially less than in Alaska, but the chances of earning are on five-cent basis.
 The improvements to the Canteen are about complete, and Mir. Erie now has one of the neatest places in the North. The interior is finished in beaver board, with beamed ceilings and woodwork in nataral colors. A com fortable office and store room have also been added. A new iron roof covers the entire building, reducing the danger of fire to the minimum.
 Gen. w. l.. Distin, Secretary of the Territory of Alaska, requests that the News publish for the information of the public and postmasters throughout Alaska that all fees for notaries public and foreign and domestic corporations should be remitted and payable only to the Secretary of Alaska.

 Down at the Douglas Opera House, where once all was hustle and life, peace reigus. The yell of the chief herder, the rattle of chips md the merry laugh of the lassies is heard no more. All is changed Where once the stage rattled and shook beneath the feet of buck and wing dancer, sober six-hoe range softly smokes. It is now only quiet, peaceable hotel with din- ing room in connection. As in days gone by, drinks may be had at the bar. The old Opera House has changed with the times. Formerly no one wanted to sleep, and tho noise made it i'm possible. Now it is so quiet that you feel sleepy when you enter the door,.

This Is after the manner of the coats OF

suits that are worn at all hours OF the

Peplums on Coats,
Although the position tails are the
most effective way of making a short

Some of these peplums are longer on
one side than on the other. Some of
them are box pleated. which is an awk-

do not extend any farther than the hips

The position back is again in favor.
1t goes and comes along with short coats.
1t is a compromise between the jacket
cut off at the knees.
Women never give the real reason for
anything they do SO they do not ever
quite explain why they are opposed as
mass to any form of the jacket that
does not cover the waist line. Whenever
long coats are in fashion women are de-
lighted; when the fashion calls for coat
like an eton or a belerO they are per-
picked, and they are not quite sure
whether or not they want to adopt them.
Artistic persons will give an unpleasant
explanation of this, which is that very
few women look we'll unless they are
covered up in the back; that the line Of
the spine is rarely graceful, either
through bad carriage or faulty anatomy.
Through the centuries women have be-
come used to hiding the joining of the
waist and skirt at the back by some
clever continuance, whether it is drapery
or a long coat, huge bow or mantle.
1t is very rare, indeed, to find woman
who can expose the line of the spine by
her clothes with an artistic result, and
there are fewer women who can put a
skirt and blouse together at the back
waist line in a harmonious way. So there
you are without reason for the way
women delight in any kind of jacket that
covers the waist line.
The position coat is therefore popular.
1t allows one to shorten the jacket in
front and to cover up the waist at the
back, both desirable conditions of fash
ion.
