prominent citizen or speaker who may be passing through Juneau to address the regular meetings and the invitation to Judge Wickersham was a precedent in that direction.
 Mir. Wickersham confined his re- marks to the consideration of edu- cational matters as they affected the Territory of Alaska. His speech was a combination of his torical accounts and analysis of the literature of the country and a fore cast of the new educational centers that are the dream of those who have Alaska's welfare at heart.
 At the close of his address the regular program of the day was taken up and the President an- nounced Mrs. Lewis as the next speaker whose activity in the cause of woman and her welfare and in- terests is coming to be quite as well known as her work for socialism.
 Briefly analyzing the causes that

make for social progress and changes. she showed how these af- fected the woman movement.
 Many interesting incidents of the work and life experiences of the pioneer suffrage and club workers were related and the difficulties which the founders of educational institutions for women encountered and the work of Emma Willard and Catherine Beecher, two great edu- cators. were given special atten- tion.
 The beautiful companionship which existed for so many years between Lucy Stone and her hus- band. Henry Blackwell, was com mented on and a glowing tribute paid these early suffrage pioneers.
 Reference was made to the work and service of Abigail Scott Duni- way with whom many in the aud fence had been more or less ac- quainted.

THE DEVELOPMENT NUMBER

Today we present to the public the second Alas ka Daily Empire Development Number. In addition to the eight pages which constitute the regular daily edition of The Empire there are 40 pages of illus trated feature articles on Alaska giving particular attention Co that portion Of the Territory which sur rounds Gastineau Channel, Skagway and Southeastern Alaska generally
 The articles and illustrations speak for them selves. They tell an Illuminating story of Alaskan development They show why Juneau and the other towns of Southeastern Alaska are growing. They clearly prophecy further marked growth for the near future and that will be sustained through ont be coming decades They present facts that will appeal 60 the man with capital for investment the man who has desire to be connected with big things in development. the man who wishes to better his

 The makers Of The Empire take this occasion to thank it's patrons readers, friends for the support that has enabled them do much they have done In return they their promise given from time to tme that they will continue to devote them selves unreseryedy and unselfishy to the task of giving the people what they conceive to be good newspaper; that they will continue to aid, as science and judgment dictate, the upbuldng of Ju- neau Douglas. the other Gastineau Channel sections. and the whole Territory of Alaska They are bound by no special interest, by political strings They have none that they desire 10 specially reward none to punish

 The Empire feels that it is necessary that it should apologize the long delay in the appearance of this edition intended to publish it in July But delay in the completion of The Empire Building and the installation of the plant prevented that. Then came paper difficulties. The supply of white paper was cut off, and most of the paper that was purchased for the Development Number had to be used for the regular daily editions. These matters were finally arranged and the Number hurried through the press.

Mrs. Lewis work in the Oregon suffrage campaign of 1900 gave her opportunity to know much of the life and work of Mrs Duniway and the pictures of her work and in- cidents related had a human inter- est feature in them which held the closest attention of the audience.
 In conclusion Mrs. Lewis spoke of the General Federation of Clubs which is the culmlnation of the various activities of women and thus gives the Womans Club the unique distinction of being one of the most inclusive organzations now in existence.
 At the close Of the address the president extended a very cordial invitation to those present who are not members to join the club and number responded.

FIND BY-PRoDUcT OF VALUE
Chemists Are Now Extracting Wax
From the Refuse From Process
of Sugar Refining.


More and more of the residues of in
dustrial processes that used to be
thrown away are being found to con.
tain some useful substance. In some
cases the value of what was originally
considered "by-product" has come to
exceed that of the primary product it.
self. The fesidues of sugar refining
have been discovered to contain a valu-
able waxy substance in sufficient guam
titles to warrant its extraction on q
commercial scale.
When a section of sugar cane is ex-
amined under che microscope it is seen
that from the epidermis exude little
protuberances, straight or curved
and disposed perpendicularly to the
surface. These are made Of wax, which.
with other waxy substances contained
in other parts of the plant, passes into
the juice in the process Of its extrac-
ton.
The lime used in almost all refineries
carries them away in the refuse of the
precipitation process, from which the
idea of rescuing them was not long
ago preached.
For this purpose the Shiny residue
is placed in a receptacle, where 1t un-
dergoes fermentation which destroys
the fatty matters without attacking
the wax. The substance is then dried
in the sun and afterward in current
of warm air or in furnace. The dry
product is crushed and treated with
benzine or carbon disulphid. The wax
thus obtained is then refined by being
extracted anew with petroleum es-
sence. and then by filtration through
clay or animal black. The residue Of
this extraction may be utilized as a
lubricant or treated to obtain the sugar
which it still contains.
Cane wax thus obtained is white or
pale yellow. 1t much resembles in ap-
pearance Carnauba wax. as also in its
hardness and high melting point. The
dried Shiny residue contains ten to
twelve per cent of it-a sufficiently
large proportion to justify the indus
trial treatment of these residues.

Football Taught Him To Fight.

There is a story called Broken
Ribs" in the November American
Magazine in which the one vino tells
the facts says:
Whenever / think OF the first
three or four years of Burr's married
life, the same surging pride rushes
through my veins as when watched
him, from the grandstand of cheering
people that November day long ago,
scramble out from beneath the pile
of some dozen human beings and
start out on that record run of his.
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty yards
would he slip by them all?), TWEEN
ty-five . thirty almost half
way across that field, and fall with
a thud, finally tackled squarely ar
ound the waist, five yards from the
goal post With a broken rib, too,
We learned later! The tears stream
ed shamelessly down NY checks that
day as the band swelled and the
grandstand roared with my brothers
name. II seemed 10 me, during
Burr's struggle for Elsie's health and
happiness, that he was putting up as
grim and invincible a fight as in that
game OF his years ago on the grid
iron. He hung on tight TO his place
in the law firm. Doctors and nurs-
es' bills were as constant an item in
his early married life as food and
rent The DeFOrrcsts were not fl
nancially fortunate, and father, in
spite Of my pleadings, would help on
ly with rent Burr worked nights
and Sundays to make good in that
law firm, and denied himself all sorts
of customary luxuries - clothes,
socks, ties, even. II used TO wiring
my heart, for my lack of interest in
raiment was more than made up in
the pleasure Burr had always taken
in good-loOking clothes"
