There wore two interesting local
events in Washington, ID. c., last
week. A newspaper invited sub
scriptions to buy $500 anniver-
ssry cup for Walter Johnson, tho
base ball pitcher And a charita-
bio person found . young girl IN
Washington whose syssight might
DO saved il 500 were contributed
to send her to a hospital for an
operation.
The pitcher gets a salary repor-
tod to be around $4,000 a year.
The afflicted girl is wretchsdly
poor and friendlsss.
The enthusiastic citizens OF
Washington, many of them in poor
circumstances, clipped III their
pennies aud quarters and dollars
in such quantity that the $500 tor
tho cup was not only raised, but
there was over $1,000 In oash to
put in the cup.
But the attempt to raise 500 to
save the sight OF the girl who 10
going blind was a failure.

An Appeal From. Greenburs

Tho Echo has been requested
to announce great suffragette
convention to be hold in Now Or
leans, Nov. l0-ll, to which all til
men and women OF tho state are
requested to attend, but We have
decided not to mention it for the
reason that We are honestly oppos-
cd to female suffrage. The reason
We oppose it is because We love
them, aud because we believe that
God loves them and never did ID
tend for them to engage In the
game Of politics or anything else
that would degrade them or weak
on their influence over men. Wife,
hood aud motherhood was the
purpose OF God in creating wo-
men, and they are now going out
Of their sphere and robbing mel
of their chances to marry aud sup
port family aud reducing their
own chances of marriage fully 30

Cordova, Nov. 20-Louis Brick son. J. c. Tice, John Swedman, G. Johnson and A. Johnson, are a par ty of miners who arrived on the train Monday from the Interior. They left the Chisana diggtngs on November 8. coming out over the Skolat trail. h many places they found the snow drifted, so that it would now be difficult for horses to get through over the trail. Mir, Erickson says that the people in the diggiuys are awaiting the arrival of Lha %ers so thpt winter work can start. Up to the time this party left, no drawers had yet reached sue Chisana, although two were nesr ly over the tTail.- Grub was still selling 3t S1 per pound and scarce at that. However, as soon as hors- es cla haul double enderl in at 15 cents per pound it is expected that the quantity ,f supplies will be sufficient fer au demands.

COURT CONFINES
AT FATRBANSK

Fairbanks, Nov. 15-With the converting of the grand jury on Mou1 day this town will present a busy scene, as District Attorney Crossley has summoned 76 witnesses to ap- pear the first week, in connection with IA cases that will be looked in to. In all about 15O witnesses have been subpoeuGed, and they will com 1 from the four points of the com- pass. Some oi them will journey from Eagle, Cthers from the Chand- lar, few from the Koyukuk, some from tho lower river in the vicinity of Russian Mission, while one or i two who stampeded have been sum- moned from Chisana, and another will come from San Francisco Ac- cording to the new allowances made by the government, the witnesses may accept an allowance of 15 cents a mile and pay all expenses them selves, or may elect to take their actual expenses, plus $4 a day from the time they leave until they get back home. The jurors will be paid $5 a day straight, without any al- IIowance for travel or expenses.
 Firty-uine men to serve on the grand and peJit jurics have been summoned. Contrary to the eXDec- tation of many, the women of the Fourth judicial division will not be given the ripht to serve as jurore at the present session of court. The law passed by the first territorial legislature gave the women the right to vote, but nothing more. Many Alaskaus were under the i'm pression that the fair ones were to be given all the rights enjoyed by the steruer sex, but a careful Dur- suaI ot the legislative enactment l dispels this idea.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
CAUSE TROUBLE

Cordova, Nov. 2O-Judge John II Brownlow, of Kenai, is having his troubles with the school teachers of that town. who desire to close up all places of bushes S because of all places of business because of the scare over the measles epidem- ic.
 Mrs. W. E. Kuppler and Miss AL ice M. Dolau are teaching school for the government at the Cook inlet town, and under a law recent lv passed by the territorial legisla- ture they undertook to close up all public places of business because
 of a number of cases of measles
 among the natives in the town,
 W. N. Dawson, the storekeeper at Kenai, tore down the notice posted by the women to the effect that the store must be closed and they 1 in turn had him arrested and hal ed before tn commissioner. When the court refused to conduct the trial, as directed by the women they roasted him to a finish and told him about his ancestors, who | they said, were apes, and how he
 was a fit descendant, or words tc ! that effect, and finally they left
 the court room in a huff.
 The store is still cen, the wo, men still teach the school, the meas 1 les are still spreading and the con- missioner still holds his job. i The special officer appointed by the court to serve the papers in l the case, and the jurors who brot ] in a verdict unsatisfactory to the school teachers, along with the commissioner, who heard the case have received no pay for services rendered. as the case was brought under the territorial law and the 1 federal government has refused to pay for prosecutions brought un-
 der that law.
