full. and beautiful things were
brought to this meeting for a little
new babe and other members OF a
worthy family who were in need of
help. This is the altruistic work of
the club-to help those who may
need help. especially the worthy
needy, for are we not their big
Sisters?" Later, the $500 left in
the treasury will be expended for
groceries to help where help is
needed
The club year. just closed, has
been most helpful and pleasant.
There has been the inspiration that
comes from association; but better
still. there has been the help that
comes from the study of Gods word
how sin always brings just retri-
button; Gods sovereignty and prov
idence His love and mercy toward
all his creatures.

STAR GAZING
 IS IN VOGUE

Numerous residents of Fairbanks and vicinity have formed the star gazing" habit II isn't an all night proposition with them. for the stars at which they have been aazing were 10 be seen at their brightest
 nr,v in the evening
 The stars in question are Jupiter and Venus. Several wcl.s ago. when they were first noticed, they were apparently several yards apart. Nightly it could be seen that they were getting closer together, and therefore people began to look for the phenomenal sight of two stars shining as one
 Last night it seemed to the naked eye that the stars were separated by about a foot. Venus was above Jupiter when heretofore she seemed to be to the right
 George W. Pennington, who is an authority on things astronomical. has made a careful study of the movements of these two stars in the present instance. After he looked at them laot night be stated that. in his opinion, there will be no conjunction in the matter of their shining together as he had expected; that Venus is passing much higher above Jupiter t@" he had thought she would, He also stated that the two stars
 close together last night as they ever will be again during the life time of persons who now see them as they pass each other.
 The change in the positions ot the two stars since Saturday night was also very noteworthy. Satur- day evening they seemed to be al most horizontal in the sky, while last night they were practically perpendicular.

Several Liquor
 Licenses Issued

Several liquor licenses were passed upon n district court last week and with the exception of one. all of the petitions brought before Judge Bunnel were allowed. The one eX ception was that of Emil Dorlner of Olnes, the judge objec ting to the form in which 1t was made out
 Commenting upon the petitions as he looked them over, Judge Bunnel noted several irregularities. One was that most of the petitions con- tained names Of foreigners, the indg stating that in his opinion the letter of the law should be followed when petitions were presented, and that they should contain nothing but the names Of bonaflde citizens Another irregulGrity was the sign ing of a woman's name by her hus band. The petition came from Ruby, the name signed being that of Mrs. Joseph H. Hoxey. And it was lettered By J. H. H" Judge Bunnell stated, upon looking that petition over that he did not think a man had the right to sign his wife's name to liquor license pc tition.
 Upon looking over the list of names signed to John Noes peti- ton, Judge Bunnell asked District Attorney Roth if he thought that was majority of the citizens liv- ing within two miles of the place where liquor was to be sold by the petitioner The district attorney replied that he was not absolutely informed on the subject, but that he guessed it was.
 When the matter of the peti- tion of w. W. Archibald came up Judge Bunnell remarked that it came to him without the endorse ment of the United States district attorney and marshl. MT. Roth then stated that. in the matter of new licenses such as is MT. Archi- bald's, he would not endorse the petition until the last moment for the reason that he wanted to give the residents in all sections of the country where the licenses were to be issued plenty of time to protest.
 The license was passed over that morning, but was called to the courts attention next day by Dis trict Attorney Roth upon the re, quest of Attorney E. B. Collins, acting for the petitioner Upon that occasion the judge again called the district attorneys attention [ he fact that he application had net been endorsed, saying that 1t would not be signed until it was. It was thereupon endorsed by MT. Roth and issued by the court.
 But "the buck was not passed to the judge" as had evidently been intended.

George H. Ray IS
 Not Yet Married

That the report received here some six weeks ago concerning the marriage of George H.

Huckins and Casey
 Are Doing Nicely

That Gene Huckins and Casey Bennett are making hit in Seat tie vaudeville circles with their all Alaska act. is the statement of Harry DeYoung, who saw the stunt when he was in Seattle They have worked the act up well and, with one other man and "the malamute." :" have made the scene very realistic
 MT. DeYoung and Billy Coghill went to see the show together They secured seats down near the front in the audience and before Huckins had finished singing his first song he had them spotted" And then, like all good theatrical stars, he sent a call boy to them and had them brought behind the scenes.
 The act opens with little dia logue between Casey and Gene Casey is to be seen over an imita- tion fire Tipping the flaps while Gene Is otherwise preparing to make camp. And the malamute is do- ing his part well being into every thing like all first class northern dogs are. One of the laugh produ" ing scenes is where Gene chides Casey for keeping his extra pair of seeks in the coffee pot

ADVERTISING THEMSELVES

CLEVELAND, Feb. 13.-Orders have been issued to all of the bro therhoods of railway trainmen of the United States to start publicity campaign which, it is hoped, will awaken public sentiment to such an extent that the trainmen will get a raise in wages without hay ing to go out on strike. And to that end the leaders of the brotherhood have consented not to call the strike for a while yet. The publicity campaign is being made for the purpose of answering the charge of the big railroad men, who say that if wages throughout the United States were raised the cost of operation would be increased S100 100000 per year.
