.F|REMEN'S STAG PARTY
 HELD LAST EVENING

The stag party, rendered by the Vol unteer Bremen last evening, was one of the he-men affairs which will be remembered for a long time. Not only on account of the exceptional spread of refreshments in which the delicious Alaska strawberry" led for first honors, but also due to the bril- liant intellectual discourse which fol- lowed clearing away the sandwich platters, bean and coffee pots.
 Numerous speakers took the floor, as occasion demanded, and either ad dressed those present with extracts of sparkling wit from Shakespeare Sir Launcelot, Sir Walter Raleigh, Alexander Dumas, Darwins' theory of life, or read brief essays from the poets Milton and Keats, not overlook ing Homer and the "Odessy," to- gether with choice bon mots from some of the most famed bartenders between Resurrection Bay and the Yukon.
 Among the guests were Attorney l.. V. Ray, Mayor of Seward, Leon Urbach, president of the Chamber of Commerce, Elwyn Swetmann, promi- nent business man, and representa- tives of the Alaska Railroad and the press.
 Prior to disbanding, a rising vote of thanks was rendered to the caterers namely, Chief Guest, Walter Holben Fred Broadwell and Casper Holman.
