PASSING OF FEDS
 MAKE CONNECTS SAD
3rwK tCoshrdlu nh nh nh mhm Were Going to Root for League in Appreciation of Gifts of
 Uniforms.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 28.-There will be much regret among the players at Atlanta Penitentiary when they learn that the Federal league is no more. A few weeks ago the convicts received two full sets of uniforms from the Chicago and Buffalo Federal league clubs, and they were so pleased with the gift that they all became Federal league roOters.
 The Christmas number of Good Words, the Atlanta paper published by the convicts, says: We were de- lighted to receive a few weeks ago through the courtesy and efforts of Thomas Gilmore, secretary of the Chi cago Federal league club, ten com plete outfits, including suits caps, belts and stockings! and a like set from the Buffalo Federal league club. We have been sorely in need of uniforms for several months, and on that &C., count these gifts will be doubly ap- preciated. We wrote to several club | owners in the three big leagues asking | for uniforms, but the Federal league combine was the only one kind enough | to send any,
 The article goes on to say that as l the players did not expect to "board' at Atlanta all their lives, they hoped | to be able soon to get out and root for the Federal league. Now they
 won't have chance to do so.

W. c. T. Y. CONVENTION

The meeting. in Skagway, of the first territorial convention of the Toman's Christian Temperance union, Is of special interest to our citizens, for the reason that the first local union of the organ ization in Alaska was formed in this city in 1900. The leader was Mrs. s. E. Shorthill. mother of Mrs. l.. A. Harrison, treasurer Ot the present Skagway union, and e ". ". Shorthill, secretary to the governor of Alaska. MT. and Mrs. Shorthiu came to Skagway in the rush of 1897 and were identt- ned with the commercial life of the town for several years. Mrs. short hill was active in all efforts for the promotion or moral enterprises in what was then a mining. camp, and the erection of a building to serve as church and school was secured largely through her activity. In 1899 Mrs. Shorthiu was appointed r-preseutative in Alaska of the National W. c. T. IT,, and for six years she spread ths gospel of pro nio,tiou in this part of the terri tCIy.
 The second uniou in Alaska WAS organized at Uouglas by Mrs. r. \. Pedersen, now a resident oi Skagway, and treasurer of the pres pnt territorial union. From time to t.me National ". c. T. L. speakers have made itineraries of the coast towns of Alaska, notably Miss Jes- sic Ackermann in 1$SS, Miss Belle Nearney in 1906, Mrs. Cornelia rempleton Jewett tnow Mrs. Hatch ,rI in 1910, and Mrs. Lora La Nance in 1913, when the territo.i- al union was organized and the present officers elected. The pres eut roster of unions includes Kecch'kau. Wrangell, Peters bu-g.. Juneau Douglas, Haines Skagwa ay. Sitka, Valdez, and Seward and a recently organiZ- d native union at Sitka which has torty-four members.
 The Woman's Christian Temper "qce union Is the largest organiza- ton Of women in the world, hay ing a membership of over 500,- 100. 1t has been one of the greIt- est forces in the promotion of the movement for total abstinence aai prohibition, which is now sweeping he country in an irresistible wave.
 Skagway welcomes the repre- sentatiyrs of an organization whose aunuel meetings are eagerly solicited by the cities:af the States, and our citizens are showing ;hem unbounded hospitality.
 This first convention of a body or Christian women, marks all epoch in the history of Alaska

it, but who, if sufficiently attracted by what we have to offer them, will return again and again if it Is m anyway possible for them to ac- complish their desire. The Daw- son News of April 24th, has the following of what q woman from the outside had to say in regard to the present appearance of that city:
 Dawson is in a dirty looking con Iition. In all friendliness l should say to the people of Dawson 1 1t is time they are waking up to the existence of brooms and paint. Sweep .ke walks and streets, scrape up the alleys, and paint the cabins. It will give strangers a much better impres- siors. and paint and cleanliness abou any premises anyways increase the value of property far beyond theIr cost" These words were spoken by lady who arrived a few weeks ago ty stage, and who Is seeing Dawsol now for the first tune in its de- nuded spring habit.
 "Yes, I understand" said the fair arrival, that the grass will come up and the leaves will come out, and some of the deep lines and wrinkles of old Dawson will be hidden by Dame Nature, but it will do the od burg no harm to resort to a few cos meticc. Paint is not such a bal thing after all, and as for flowers and shrubbery even such an old lady as Dawson may wear them most be-. com1ngly. also should suggest that in trying to put the old woman into as attractive form as possible that quite a number of the ancient shaCks be torn down. Some have collapsed, and actually seem scurYy and a menace to health. Strangers look at the blank winodws of neglected buildings as indication of spiritual degeneracy of a muniei- pality. Any first class Tevivalist will recommend removal of physi- cal defects which are an eyesore will discourage deyotions to the cause of thrift and cleanliness. A good way to ct at broken-backed buildings is for the city fathers to put good stiff tax on them. They would be better torn. down and con ve~tcd into plank walks along some of the outlying streets, where those now ukprovided with means of keep ing out of the mud, have to wade ankle deep when there is a shower.
 "O:her towns of the size of Daw- son outside have taken on civic I, pride which is affording them many improvements.
