the tinnd Act*
The Indians of Auk village have been
entertaining a numU*r of Kakcs during
the past week. Four canoes of the
latter trilic were here attending court,
ami judging from tlie amount of noise
emanating nightly from Mil* village the
entire outfit are guests. Small j>ot-
Jatehes ami hi-yu dancing are prin-
*?i pally indulged in, while hootchiftoo
flows like water. The. other evening
there was not a sober Auk or Kake
within 50 miles of Juneau.
We have been requested to state
that a Mr. Franklin, who has ticen col
Icctlng money for the purpose of send-
ing Louis (irainer to the soldiers'
home and using the name of the Ilorse-
fdioe saloon, who is supposed to act
as custodian of funds, has no authority
whatever for doing so. While the ol>-
jeet is most worthy, yet it is not the
desire of the Horseshoe to pose as the
treasurer of a fund they have never
seen and know absolutely nothing of.
Inasmuch as tho recent conviction
and the subsequent infliction of the
death penalty uj>on TI a-koo-y el-lee, the
Jinkc island murderer, is theilrstin the
history of Alaska, the sentence and the
death warrant will jxisscss in future
years somewhat of a historical interest.
Until the time the prisoner was
brought into court for sentence he wcui
kept in ignorance of his fate, and when
the sentence, was interpreted to him it
brought to the surface several kinds
of demons, and had not shackles been
placed upon him he might haw made
things lively in the courtroom for a
few moments. lie was removed to his
cell, and lie made many l>oast« that he
would never hang. It is character-
istic of the Knkes that when they pcr-
ceive death to lie fixed and inevitable
they lose all fear of the grim destroyer
and will resort to any and every man-
ner ]Kissible in which to kill them-
selves.
Ilecent news from Knke island dis-
clows the fact that <luring the pres-
ent week a huge, big celebration is be-
ing held in the. Indian village and,
strange to relate, the usual aceonijuini-
ments of liootchinoo, broken noses,
chewed ears and other pleasantries arc
not down on the programme. Com-
prising the KaJve. trils* of Indians arc
the otter, Sea Otter, 1 Hack fish, ('row,
Dogfish, Cedar and Eagle families. The
family now in the ascendancy, and who
in fact have held the throne for a
number of years, is the Sea Otter
branch, and the occasion of the fcasta
and dancing now being held is in com-
memoration of the death a year ago
of the mighty chief, (iashan, and the
accession of his successor, Augusho,
Several weeks ago five large war
.canoes, containing 52 men, were sent
out with a great deal of ceremony to
procure a log suitable for a totem pot-
ior the dead (iashan, the chief being
in the lust canoe with a large American
fln.g floating at the stern. A spruce
stick 25 feet long and three feet in
diameter was secure*I, and in tow of
the five canoes it was brought to the
tillage in great state at racehorse aimed.
The carvers were set to work, and now
there has been evolved from the plain
log of wood a most elal wrote totem,
entirely covered from top to bottom
with figures symU>lical of the proud
rncestry of the deceased, marvels of
beauty to the eyes of the untutored
Hiwash, yet so hideous to others as to
develop a well-defined case of snakes
ut first sight.
This pole, in company with numer-
ous smaller totems, was erected liu t
Monday on the grave of (iashan amidst
great orrvmonies. Over 300 Indians
have congregated in the Kakc village,
to witness the scenes ami partake of
the new chief's hospitality. After the
totem was in place all the dead chiefs
blankets, numbering over 300, were
brought to tlie grave and torn Into
Mri|K, each person present receiving
one or two of the pleats, which they
regard lis amulets. On Saturday the
new chief brought the festivities to
a close by giving a big jsitiateh, during
which time he distributed $l,0oo worth
of blankets, Isilts of bright calicoes
mid other articles of value to different
members of the tribe. Kellglou* ecnr
monies und feasts are held every day.
and during the night dancing Is he

—The Journal of Insanity says that
"genius oftentimes seems to have about
It a touch of madness, and insanity
sometimes shows streaks of genius,
but the relation between the two is
accidental, not essential. If this bus
lieen said before, it will do no harm to
say it again, as an antidote to the mix-
ture of each to which Nordau and Loin-
broso and others are Just now treating
the civilized world."
—A new mode of treatment for in-
termittent fever has been proposed to
the Paris academic de medecine by Dr.
Critzman. It consists of feeding the
putients with beef spleen and marrow
in order to increase tho power of the
phagocytes, the white corpusculcs in
their blood, to devour tho linematozoa
that Dr. Lavedan has discovered in the
blood of ]M(oplc living in swampy huids,
which he believes to lie the cause of tho
fever.
—In the Caucasus MM. Somxnier and
Sevier have discovered tracts where a
flora of gigantic size grows, which in
other respects is like the flora of the

lower regions grew to two feet hero

tain whether the phenomenon is duo to
the accumulated richness of the soil or
whether it marks the survival of archaio

—California olive growers say that a
big demand has sprung up this season
in the eastern states for California
olives, and practically the whole prod-
uct of the state is already sold. Orders
for California olives have come from
many old und conservative grocery
houses in New York, Boston ami other
eastern cities, whoso proprietors say
that, now the Callfomians have mas-
tered the art of pickling the fruit, the
native product will drive the foreign
olives out of eastern markets.
—An official report on Dr. Marmorek's
new serum for erysipelas and pucrjierul

been tried in four cases of puerperal
fever, with astonishing results. One
patient who hod been given up recov-
ered under the serum treatment. Dr.
Po/zi, a 1'aris surgeon, is confident that
one of his putients was saved by it. At

NO NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
Not Evtm tlio Ltlior-Ditjr Art Created One,
Kay tlie l..i\w«T*.
There would seem to l e no such thing
in this country as a national holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor day,
which was set apart by an act of con-
gress in 1S94 in such manner as to lead
the confiding layman to suppose it at
least to be a national holiday, is not
such outside of the District of Colum-
bia, unless by state enactment. The
creation and regulation of holidays
have been left entirely to the legisla-
tures of the individual states.
The act of congress concerning Labor
day was approved on January 2s, 1894.
It provides "that the first Monday of
.September in each year, lieing the day
ccicbrated and known as Labor day,
is hereby made a legal public holiday
to all intents and purposes, in the same
manner as Christmas, January 1, Feb-
ruary *2, May .'H) and July 4 are now
made by law public holidays."
Clearly the proper construction of
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference to the provisions Itcnring
upon the other holidays named. The
act making holidays of January 1, July
4. Christmas and "any day appointed
or recommended by the president of
the Cnited States as a day of public
fast or thuugsgiving," was passed in
June, 1*7(1, and was restricted in its
efleet to the District of Columbia.
These days are holidays in the various
states only as they are mode so by tlie
various state legislatures.
The act of January 31, 1M79, makes
I cbruary 2<i a legal holiday, and the
act of An mint 31, 1 hsh, docs the same
for May 30, and both are restricted in
their application to the Distriet of Co-
lumbia. The act referring to I.nltor
day says nothing about the District of
Columbia, but It does say that the first
Monday ttf September shall be a legal
public holday, "to intents snd pur-
poses, In the same manner as Christ-
mas, January 1, February May 80
and .Inly 4 ore tutu made by law public
holidays."
The Intents and pur|s>ses for which
und manner in which those days arc
made holidays are expressly limited to
the District of Columbia, and so, by
necessary Inference, Is the act referring
to l.nlstr day.
The misleading longuage of thelalstr

A POSER FOR HIS MOTHER.
Blie Couldn't lie Consistent In I'linlstilng
Her Tt *o Hons.
Children are philosophers very fre-
quently, but this does not alter the fact
that a mother with four small l>oys will
have more or less patching to do every
day. There are two sections of a small
boy's pantaloons that will succumb to
wear and tear unless constructed of
ten-inch armor plate. Anyone can guess
that these arc the seat and knees. This
mother with four boys, living on Hur-
wood street, has a Job of mending every I
night. Little Tom manages to wear
the knee ol his breeches out every day ;
Christmas night his mother said tc i
him: "Tom if you wear a hole in your j
pants to-morrow I shall cut them otl
above the knees; I am tired of patching
your trousers every night." Yesterday '
when Tom came home to dinner the
knees of his trousers were frazzled out
as usual, and time to her word his moth* j
er took a pair of scissors and clipped i
the garment above the knees. Tom felt |
that he could not face his playmates in
any such trousers, and, broken-hearted,
he resorted to tears and wept bitterly.
His grief continued until Jimmy came
in, and when Tom discovered two large)
holes in the seat of his brother's?
trousers he gave way to laughter.1
Tom's laughter became so boisterous
that his mother asked him: "What on
earth is the matter with you?" Tom
only jioiiited to those holes in the rent
ol his brother's trousers und shouted
hilariously. Still no one saw where t.l « '
lau^'li came in, and when his mother
again demanded t he cause of his hllarit>
he replied: "I am thinking, nuinimu,
how fmmy Jim will look when you cut
off his pants nlstve them two holes."— ;

Five Chicago,ins arrived ut Albu-
querc|ue, N. M., •me day late in August.
They were taken in charge by Frank
llluke, a Chicago boy, who has lived in
the west for some years, and were simiu
shown all the sights of the (juaint old
town. As they walked along the princi-
pal street Mr. Jamison looked up nt a
building and remarked: "121 Jomado
hotel; nice building."
"Yes," said Ulake. "Ilut you must
pronounce it right It is El Ilomnda
in the SjMUiish tongue. J is alwuys II
out here."
"That so?" answered Jamison.
"Funny custom. What's tills church
here?—the Cathedral of San Juan!"
"San Huan," corrected lllake. Mr.
Jamison looked pained, but accepted
the correction. A moment later he
broke out again. "What's this? La
Jolla?" "La Holla," spoke the ready
mentor by his side, and Jamison's eyes
begun to roll. So it went through the
whole town, lllake corrected Jamison
at every turn. When they all got back
to the hotel Jamison had a strange,
drawn expression on his fac , but no-
body paid much attention to him. lie
went into the dining-room nnd called
u waiter.
"llring me," said Mr. Jamison, in
slow, measured accents, "some fricas-
seed hack-rabbit, with apple belly, and
let me have a mint liulep before the
meat, please."
The waiter stared ot him and some-
body at the next table snickered. That
was the last straw. The Chicago man
sprung to his feet ablaze with indigna-
tion. "Ily bingo," he thundered, "what
infernal hnckasa dares criticize my
Spanish hargon? Ily the great hunijH
ing Mudas, I'm Him Ilamison of Hack-
son boulevard, and I'll give some of
jou fellows a swift holt in

the Marquette club, was here v e'd de

Here the waiters and tbc rest of the
Chicago delegation dragged Mr. Jami-
son away. He recovered under careful
nursing, but made all haste to get out
of New Mexico as soon as lie could catch
a train.—Albuquerque (N. M.) News.

"It is crowded."
"And it won't do to start a panic. Let
me say quietly to you that the hotel is
on fire. I have known it for ten min-
utes, but did not want to create an ex-
citement."
"Are you sure, ma'am?" I asked.
"Entirely sure, Rir. I snielled tli?
smoke while in lied. You go quietly
down and tell the clerk, and 1 will
knock on all the doom on this floor."
She was wonderfully cool and col-
lecteil, and I never thought of doubt-
ing her assertion, doing down by the
stairway, I beckoned the clerk aside
and told him of the fire. He went to
the elevator with me and asceii led to
the third floor, where he found about
20 ha If-dressed jieople in the halls. The
woman who hod given me the orders
came up ntid said:
"Come this way. I don't think the
fip' has much of a start yet."
We followed her to her room anil be
gan to snilT ami snutT. There wus
certainly u strong odor i f something
burning, but the clerk had taken only
one snitT when he went out and rupjs J
on the next door.
"Hello!" called a voice,
"Are you smoking?*
"Smoking Florida tobncco?"*
"Yen, w hat of it ?"
"Nothing. Ma'am, you can g« back
to bed. Much obliged to you for your

FASHION NOTES.
What Is lletag Worn by Women of
Style.
A 6U|)erb costume was recently or-
dered for one of the coming w hite house
receptions at Washington. The ma-
terial is the new warp dyed silk about
which the fashionable world has lieen
quite enthusiastic. It is in ivory white
with roses shading from pink to dark
maroon. The dress is lavishly draped
with Yalcncienncs lace and is made
with V-shaped neck filled in with em-
broidered tulle; the sleeves are puffs of
hllk und lace, and are finished at tlie
elbows by lace rufiles. The inner edge
of the hem of the skirt has a thick
ruching mado of white, pink and ma-
toon silk, pinked out ut the edges and
plaiU'd together, the white ruflles being
next to the skirt
An evening cloak is made of rich
brocade. It has a deep yoke and high
lolling collar of embroidered velvet;
from the lower edge of the yoke fall
tassel fringes of fine jet. These are at
least half a yard in depth. The sleeves
are very large pufTs from shoulders to
elbows with fitted culTs edged with sa-
ble. The garment falls to the feet and
is finished down the front and around
the hem with fur; the collar is fur-
lined and may be worn standing or
turned back upon the yoke.
A handsome collarette is made of
three rows of lace, one falling lielotv an-
other. The upper row is attached to a
collar of very soft, fine crcpon. From
the front corners of the collar are long
icarf ends of crcpon that cross over tho
bust, pass under the arms and meet at
the back with a bow with loops nearly
three-quarters of a yard long, and ends
that Just clear the hem of the dress.
An opera hood is made of white plush.
The hood portion fits il.e head comfort-
ably, is edged with soft, white fur, and
the cape which extends well over the
shoulders, lias a similar trimming. An
enormous bow of soft ribbon is set on
the top of the hood just back of the
brim, another is at the back of the neck,
nnd a third in the front with tie-ribl>ons
with long ends.
Long capes of velvet are lined with
bright iridescent satin. Some of the
new capes have brocaded linings,others
have rich silks, with the new warp
printing that is so popular and at*
tractive.—N. Y. Ledger.
AN UNEXPECTED GUEST.
Cyclist IMuntfct Through a Window and
Lunds rpoii ti Supper TuM#.
To chronicle all the hair-raising es-
capes of coasting bicyclists from be-
coming a horrible example to unborn
generations would occupy a column as
long us the valuable articles on Napo-
leon in a current magazine if collected.
Ilut occasionally one. stands out from
the rest that is worthy of history. Such
is the tale of the young man who w'ns
coasting at an ungovernable rate of
speed down one of the precipitous
streets which run west from lower
Maple street. When lie was enjoying
that interesting sensation of the ming-
ling of your unmoored vitals which is
produced by a rapidly falling elevator
or a coast on a very steep hill he looked
up to sec a slowly moving lumlier team
start across a street just in front, load-
ed with some 10 furlongs of luniltcr.
lie saw immediately there was a choice
of but two things—he must cither be
spattered up against those four-inch
joists or invite a squirmy death on the
pickcts of a sharp-|H>intci! fence on tho
side by running into the sidew alk. He
chose the latter.
Fortunately when his wheel struck
the curbing he cleared the picket fence
on the second or third bound. Ho
passed on through space and a base-
ment window and finally landed on a
table, around which the family was
gathered.engage 1 in th"good old Amer-
ican custom of eating. "Why, goto)
evening," said the young man, "this in
indeed a surprise"—or tt ords to thut ef-
fect—"I never was served in this man-
ner tiefore." Then he I sir rowed a
biiskct from his kind host uml went out
to gather up his bicycle.- Springfield
