 However, this certainly does not abate the rnelan- choy prospect that in putting down the Irish agitation serious clashes may be precpitaed and great loss of life caused Once again. the sod of Erin may be drenched with the blood of its and the anosities of centuries, which seemed on the point of being eliminated by time, will be revived in all their ancient bitterness.
 Naturally much sympathy will go forth from America to Ireland In fact, certain Irish-American elements in this country believed to have been actively identified with the present Never theless there is English side to the stuation which needs mus appeal to every thinking man, no matter what his sympathes may be- It is partially exposed by the statement given publicity in London papers today showing that although Ireland has A50000 un- married of military age only 89,723 had volun- teered up to February L Ulster with about 150O 900 approximately 60000 recruits Nationalist Ireland with approximately 3,O0000O population has provided not more than one-haf that number.

 The step thus taken by these energy in Not only for the present generation, but for future generations as we'll However should not consider this task fully accomplished From all indications, it is only matter of few years before Ketchkan will have a population reaching in the fifth figure, and with the increase of population will the neces- sity for more recreation grounds. Bearing this in mind, wouldn't 1t be we'll for to bestir ourselves and cover that beautiful piece of ground near the power house.

SECOND LYCEUM
WELL RECEIVED

Harry Raymond Pierce and Zulette
Spencer Pierce were the attraction
at the second number of the 1861
Lyceum course, given last night at
Arnory Hall.
The program consisted of char
acter representations, and both per-
formers delighted their audience
with the truth and sincerity of their
renditions. Mrs. Pierce's "Child
Study" (original) in which she takes
the part of bashful little girl, with
an unexpected way Of putting
things, was splendid piece Of work.
Mr.. Pierce's original portrayal of 9
supplemented country lad was a
distinct hit, and the half-witted
laugh and vacuous smile were a tri-
umph ef art.
Mrs. Pierce also recited Christine
Rossetti's Royal Princess" with
much feeling; and Pierce portrayed
Riley's "Old Country Gentleman"
singing the springtime of his love.

CITY LOST NOTHING
ON WATER REFUND

At a meeting of the city commits
gioners Monday resolution was
passed refunding to Mrs. Parlsen,
$40 East Main street, the sum of
$4O.63, as over-paid water bills. It
was stated at the time that this rep
resented the water consumed in both
Mrs. Paulsen's home and the house
next door, but later investigation
proves that the owner of the house
where Mrs. Paulsen lived had been
paying the water rent, and the oc-
cupant had also been paying, hence
the refund to Mrs Paulsen.
The city has been paid for every
drop of water used on the premises,
but there appears to have been a
double charge, and two water GUS
toners were paying for one and the
same service. When this condition
was brought to light, it was decided
to remedy conditions Immediately.

Stomach Troubles.

Persons who have stomach trouble
are apt to become discouraged. They
will see by the following that their
chances of recovery are excellent. A.
K. Williams, independence, Va, tells
of a remarkable cure that was effect

toners was SO badly afflicted with
stomach trouble that he was sent to
a hospital, but received little benefit
and came home to die. Mr.. Williams
suggested that he try Chamberlain's
Tablets which he did, and today he
is well man and weighs It's pounds.
