Ilesponding to a resolution of in-
quiry in regard to the enforcement of
the liquor law in Alaska, Secretary
Ca;;e sent a statement to the senate in
which lie says thatnotwithstamlingthe
eilorts of the department it is still r,
fact that the irw Is openly violated. It
has, he sa.vs, been reported to the de-
partment that 40 saloons do open busi-
ness in .hinea.n, a town of iess than 4,000
Inhabitants, while in Sitka, which con-
tains less than J.000 white inhabitant's,
there are '* open saloons. The uni-
versal public sentiment in tJie twri-
t"y, snj - the sceretarv, "is bitterly op-
posed to the enforcement, of the liquor
law and the effort.* of the officers are
imet with int.iuiida.tjon, threats of vio-
lence and attempts at bribery." He

reported ihds condition was indie, d.
The secretary adds:
I lie statement has been made re-
peatedly by judicial officers of the ter-
ritory that no grand jury in Alaska
would indict any person unvested for
violating tihe liquor law." 'the secre- I
tcry closes with the statement that it

PRESBYTERIANISM.
The Princeton Inn Incident May II*.
• nit In the ^illrgt- llreakluK
Awaj" from the Claurch.
War is threatened in the Presby-
terian church that will overshadow the
famous controversy over Dr. Briggs'
alleged heresy. The present trouble
grows out of the Princeton Inn inci-
dent, when former President (irover
Cleveland joined with Prof. Charles
Woodruff Shields, who holds the chair
of harmony and science and revealed
religion In Princeton college, and other
property owners of the university town
in signing a petition that a liquor li-
cense be granted to that hostelry, which
is a favorite resort for students ns well
us for members of the faculty and their
friends.
It was told that Prof. Shields had
left the Presbyterian church nnd had
been confirmed in tlie Episcopal faith
by Bishop Potter. This caused a sensa-
tion.
In Princeton, however, it was noth-
ing to the feeling aroused when it was
learned that President Patton, with
Prof. Duffield and Prof. Cameron, of the
college, had refused to go as delegates
to the Presbyterian general assembly.
Many persons predicted that this action
presaged the absolute breaking away
of Princeton university from the de-
nominat ion. It is probable thai the col-
lege will be entirely without represen-
tation at the convention.
The ground of the refusal of Presi-
dent Patton and his two colleagues to
serve as delegates is that the} expect
the faculty of the college will be cen-
mrcd on account of the Princeton Inn
trouble. The opinion is expressed that
no explanation which they might offer
would lie accepted by the assembly, as
Prof. Shields' action in indorsing the
application for the liquor license has
been denounced formally in scathing
terms by Presbyterian bodies in al-
most eve/y state of the union. Presi-
dent Pat ton's present course is held to
indicate that, since war is to be de-
clared between the church and the col-
lege, the college will begin it.

The spectacle of a man transporting
the dead body of his wife overland
shocked the citizens of the northern
part of Delaware county, Ind. He
claims Paulding county, ()., ns his desti-
nation, and says be will not dispose of
the body until he reaches Ills old home,
which is yet two days' distant, since his
mode of travel is very slow and tedious,
he being on foot.
Farmers and others who hnve con-
versed with the stranger assert that he
has the remains of his wife carefully
wrapped in a sheet and deposited in
. the bed of a hand wagon scarcely large
enough to accommodate the body and
his two living children, four nnd two
years old, respectively, lie reports that
the wife died a few days ago while they
were en route, and, being loath to leave
her body in some lonely graveyard, he
decided to take it back to his native j
state for burial.
The little ones ride in the wagon with j
their de^d mother, while the dejected I
father trudges along from dawn to sun-
set, draging his ghastlv burden after
him. At nightfall he lifts the bodv from ^

and makes a bed for the children. At

A 1'lcnsnnt and rrolltubie I>ustlnie
for the Younger
Children.
Children may be amused and instruct-
ed through many a wet day by cutting
out the pictures from papers and mag-
j azines that are to be consigned to the
| scrap basket. Little children soon learn
to cut papers, and lessons in neatness
! and exactness may* be learned if they
I are required to cut the pictures out
nicely with a tiny border of white about
each one. Books in which to paste them
may be made of strong manila paper.
For the book cover use two heavy pieces
of cardboard, covered with any kind of
material, chintz, cretonne or cheese-
; cloth, which lastis susceptible of adorn-
ment by pen or brush.
The child who is to do the pasting
should be impressed with the necessity
of doing neat work. There is no neces-
sity for daubs of glue or paste to soil
the whole page, or even the child's face
and hands while he is at work. Divid-
ing the pictures into classes makes a
game—the playing at "picture pasting"
—and involves another kind of thought.
There may be several books or one or
two pages in the large book devoted to
each subject. "Play " would be one sub-
ject, under which all picture* -should
come in which children or animals are
at play. "Rest." "Work." "School,"
"Travel," etc., will occupy as many
books or pages as the little manufac-
turer pleases.—N. V. Tribune.
Consomme with nice.
Thoroughly wash nnd drain a pint
and, a. half of rice; put it in n saucepan,
with a quart of beef broth, two cups of
tomato sauce and ti little salt. Mix,
boil ,eover tightly and cook for 20 min-
utes; odd six ounces of clarified butter,
boiling hot, stir quickly and vigorous-
ly with a wooden spoon until thorough-
ly mixed. Cover the dish tightly, put-
ting a cloth inside of the cover, so as
to keep in the steam. It will absorb
the butter and become light and
creamy. Turn the rice into a round,
deep dish, nnd send to the table with
two quarts of beef broth in a soup tur-
een and a plate of grated parmcsan
cheese.—X. Y. Ledger.

SU3IME11 SEMESTER.
The Summer Semester of the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma is a new depart
lire for a Western college. It is
especially planned for those who, be-
ing employed during the winter
months, find it impossible to attend
the regular semesters, but who still
fiesire to fit themselves for better
work in teaching and the other pro
fessions. It is also planned for the
benefit of those already attending the
University, as it, gives thein a chance
to do a half year's work and places
graduation that much nearer. The
semester commences May 10th, and
continues seventeen weeks. All the
courses of the preparatory department
are offered and full credit given for ail
courses completed. It gives every ad-
vantage offered by the summer semes
ter—a strong faculty, thorough educa-
tional work, and free use of library
and laboratories. The time of the
year is conducive to good work, while
it is also that portion of the year when
living expenses can be reduced to the
lowest and most economical limit It
is an unexampled and golden oppor-
tunity to seeni e a half year's school
ing in a recognized high grade mstl
tution at little exuense and under
most favorable conditions.

particulars to the President,
