we admire most. Harriet and | know

TEAM STANDINGS
Fat Not a Disease,

The notion that fat is a disease
grew solely out of the fact that after
death from certain chronic and long.
standing diseases various important
tissues Of the body, such as the heart
muscle, the liver, the brain, and more
rarely the kidney, were found large
ly changed into fat. In our pompous
Latinity, they had undergone fatty
degeneration" In the good old days
Of ignorance we had no better sense
than to say that this state Of affairs
was the cause of death, and that the
vicious fat had, 80 to speak, choked
and taken the place OF the higher and
more valuable active tissues.

ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

THE GREAT MYSTERY.-The body
has to die. No one who passes the
charmed boundary comes back to tell
The Imagination visits the land OF
shadows-sent out from some window
in the soul over llfe's restless waters,
but, wings its way wearily back, with
no olive leaf in it's beak as a token OF
emerging life,, beyond the closely,
bending horizon. The sun comes and
goes in the heavens, yet breathes no
secret of the eternal wilderness. The
crescent moon cleaves her nightly pas
sage across the upper deep, but tosses
overheard no signals, the sentinel stars
challenge each other as they walk
their nightly rounds, but we catch no
syllable OF their countersign which
gives passage to the heavenly camp.
Between this and the other life there
is great gulf fixed, across which
neither feet nor eye can travel. The
gentle friend whose eyes we closed in
their last sleep long ago, died with
rapture in her wonder-stricken eyes,
smile of inetfable Joy upou her lips,
and hands folded over triumphant
heart, but her lips were past speech,
and iutimated nothing of the vision
that enthralled her.

THE HANGING OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The Albany Journal in an article on
the proprie,y of hanging Davis says;
1t is not to be denied that as time
elapses, the number of those who favor
LONG rope and short Shift" continual
ly diminishes. If none of the traitor
chiefs shall be convicted during three
months to come, a government which
chooses to follow public opinion, will
have little hanging to do, He
may be executed for reason, undoubt-
edly, if the president deems il wise to
make such an example. But thought
full men are beginning to inquire
whether it is best to intiict upon him,
as a vicarious martyr, the penalties
which belong equally to three-fourths
of the southern people.
The new York Times, in an article
on the same subject, says:
So far as regards the hanging of
jeff Davis for treason, let us treat it as
an open question, and fairly weigh all
that our friends abroad have 10 say
concerning it. 1t should be the
inexora5le determination of the govern.
ment that he shall be arraigned and
tried; if possib BILE convicted and sentenc-
ed. If the president afterwards; ON a
fll pf al a m nj f,l1 az,
ations bearing upon the case, shall
conclude to commute the case, the
people, without doubt, would make
little complaint. There may not be an
absolute necessity for his death, but
trial, and his conviction if that can be
obtained, are of prime Importance.

They Wal Leave Douglas

Mir. and Mrs. Ed. b. Armstrong, of the Lyric Theatre, have sold out and are about to depart from Douglas, to make their home in other lands, to the regret of their many friends.
 These good people are pioneers in the picture show business SO far as Douglas is concerned. When the fire swept over Douglas about all they saved was a piano. It was then that the Lyric was built, and no finer moving picture show house exists in Alaska today. Mir, Armstrong has ever been on the look out for the latest pictures and has also been careful to show only pictures of a high moral grade.
 Mrs Armstrong has also done her part and she has done it we'll. A finish ed musician, she has been at the head ot the organization known as the Lyric Orchestra, which has furnished excel lent music on numerous occasions. But Mrs. Armstrong possesses a natural tal- eut for motion picture music, and often has given a better interpretation of the passing scenes through her music than was possible any other way. Mir. Arm strong and bis talented wife will be missed in Douglas, where their many friends will wish them we'll wherever they may 20.

George R. D. Shotter, Sr.

Another pioneer citizen of Alaska has come to the end of life's trail, when George Shotter, sor more than quar- ter of a century a resident of Douglas, closed bis eyes last Saturday evening, and peacefully passed to the great be- youd. At bis bedside, giving to their aged father all the care that was pOssi. ble, were his daughters, Mrs. L., Kane and Mrs. T. Murray, and sons George, Jr, and Frank Shotter.
 George Shotter was for many years employed at Treadwell and Was we'll known and liked by the people of the Island.

He has spent the last few years at the home of bis daughter, Mrs. l.. Kane, at Hoouah.
 George Shotter was born at Kent, England, and was 80 years of age. Four daughters and two sous survive to mourn his loss. They are Mrs. s. J. Kane, Mrs. Thomas Murray, George Shotter, Jr.. and Frank Shotter, of Hoouab, Mrs. Minute Ross, of Victoria, B. C., aud Mrs. Fl. Evans, of California.

William Christie Disappears

William Christie, a Scotchmau, by birth, aged 33 years, employed at the TOO mill at Treadwell, a resident of Douglas Island for about five years, has disappeared. He went to his work Sat urday afternoon as usual, and in about an hour a stranger, who gave his name as Miller, and claimed to be a deputy U. S. Marshal, appeared and served a subpoena on Christie, demanding his presence in Juneau as a witness. He required Christie to sign the paper, and told him he. had a gas boat ready to take hin oyer to Juneau and would bring him back in an hour. Christie asked Foreman N. King to get some one to take his place, and departed, starting toward Douglas. They were seen coming along St. Ann Avenue, in the neiRhborhoud of the hospital, and from that time disappeared. Mrs. Chris tie awoke about 2 o'clock Sunday morn ing and finding that her husband had not returned home, went down stairs to see if tbe door was locked. On the second step she found a note signed by Christie, stating that he had been called to Seattle and would write more later And the question is what has become of Christie? The man Miller is not deputy marshal No process was issued for Christie in Juneau court. Chris tie is known as a sober and industrious man. Mir. and Mrs. Christie were mar ried about three weeks ago, and as faI as any one can discover, no cloud had marred their domestic horizon. It is indeed a mystery.
