HOW PRESIDENT Is
 AT FIFTY-NINE YEARS

HOTSPRINGS, Va, Dec. 2S.- President Wilson celebrated his 59th birthday today quietly with his bride. The only indication that the Executive has passed another milestone was the scores of telegrams from his friends in all parts of the world.
 In health and spirits the President is many years younger than 59. His hair is quite grey, but he stands erect 3 feet II inches in his stocking feet. Recently he tipped the scales at I'll pounds. He walks a great deal and plays lots of golf. Woodrow Wilson was born at Staunton, Va, December 2S. 1856. His father was the Rev. Joseph K. Wilson, a distinguished scholar and clergyman of the south, and his mother was Jessie Woodrow Wilson. His ancestry on both sides is Scotch-Irish.

The Cook Inlet Pioneer is respons- ible for the statement that Lieuten- ant Mears of the Commission is con fident that an emergency appropria- tion will be granted "soon after con gress reconvenes." The statement was evidently made before January 4. The Pioneer also says that ship will be sent to Anchorage direct in February with supplies for the con tinuation of construction work. The Anchorage paper even goes so far as to say that the commission officials are now preparing to be ready to start up work without delay when the money comes. The statement that a ship will try to make Anchorage in February is not given officially, the same authority says.

FIREMEN TO GIVE A
 BANQUET TO FIRE BOYS
Will Try to Organize Basket Ball Team for Men and
 Women.

The fire boys held one of the best meetings last night and it was decid- ed to give a big banquet for the fire men about the first of February. A committee was appointed to take charge of the affair and it is thought it will take place in COOper's Cafe.
 One of the subjects brought before the fellows last night was the ques- tion of establishing basket ball teams. It was suggested that a team of mar ried women could be picked to play a team of single ladies. Two teams can easily be organized.
 The meeting was the best attended one ever held in Seward and a smoker was held afterwards with box or cigars presented to the boys by Chas. Walmsley. Al. Chamberlain, repre- senting the city council, addressed the fremen with a pleasant talk.
 The following were initiated into the fremen's brotherhood last night: James Hammond, Frank Chovin, F. R. wiesendanger, Roy Fonda and Roy Ashland
 Mir. Smith, an old timer in these parts, also enlivened the evening with some good old stories. The reason for taking in so many new candidates is that several of the old members have left Seward and the ranks of the Seward Fire department ought to be kept filled, as we'll as to have substitutes in case of others leaving the city.

METHODISTS TO BUILD
 $5,OOO CHURCH EDIFICE

At a meeting of the Methodist Episcopal church trustees held last night at the home of II. H. Hildreth it was decided to build church edifice that would cost at least $5,000. The
 probable location is the northwest corner of Second avenue at Madison street. The style of edifce has not been decided on yet. It may be of a frame or mission effect. Architect Kingsley is at work drawing up the plans for the new building. Work will be commenced as soon as possible or immediately after hearing from the owners of the lots and the Methodist church authorities, probably in an other month.

CAN'T TELL GIRLS HOW
 TO LIVE ON $6 A WEEK
other montf

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Small wages and bad girls go together, according to Morals Court Judge Uhlir, who, des- pite the fact that Chicago years ago abolished it's red light district, hears hundreds of moral cases weekly. "You can't get away from the fact" said Judge Uhlir today in making a plea for chance" for these girls, "that low wages is the principal reason for bad girls. When they ask me, How am 1 going to live straight on $6 a week. 1 cannot answer them. Neither can anyone else. Employers who fail to pay girls decent wages do not belong in society. They contrib ute more to the downfall of girls than the actual seducers."
 Judge Uhlir is opposed to fining girls of the streets. He contends it is too easy for them to borrow from men who make such loans business.
