ELKS JEMORIAL
i Skagway Elks last Sunday paid a flt
i ting trlbnte to the memory of their de
parted dead with Memorial exercises of
the most pathetic order. A general In
vitation had been Issued to the publlo
by the lodge to attend the serrlces, and
the handsome Elks hall was filled with
the families and frienda of the Blks.
Special musio bad been arranged and
was fittingly rendered. "Come Unto
Me" wss charmingly sung by Mlas
Olive Springated, The eulogy, ? Our
Absent Brothers," by Doctor Norman
was delivered in a finished manner and
was replete with beautiful passages.
The address of the day was that of
Attorney J. A. Hellenthal of Juneau
Lodge No. 420, who chose for his sub
ject "The Order." Always a gifted or
ator, Mr. Hellenthal surpassed himself
on this occasion by the excellence of bia
effort. The trend of the address was
pathetic, and the grace and charm of
the utterances makes it certain Skag
way people have never listened to Its
superior.
"Thanatopsls," which was illustrat
ed, by H, H. Draper was a pleasant fea
ture of the program, followed by a solo
by M. A. Snow.
The Closing Ceremony by the Lodgi
came next, after which the Benedictioi
was offered by Rev. George E Good
and the ending of the Lodge of Sorrow
cams.
A. B. DANCE
The aoolal danco given by the Arcti<
Brotherhood last night was a completi
?ucoess.
The music and door were all tha
could be desired, and these events ever]
fortnight will be one of the leadinf
features of the social season of Skag
way during the winter.
Mrs. Fped Frlckhart, of Cartbou, whe
has been a Fifth Avenue hotel gucsl
for a tew days, left for her home Frl<
day morning.
The Boy's Club was delightfully en
tertained by Mrs. Bledsoe last evening.
Twenty-one being present.

MAIL SERVICE
GOOD INSIDE
The mail from the outside arrivfo
st 3 o'clock thia afternoon, making the
run of 330 miles from Wbkehorse in
12S hour*. The stage traveled part of
the time at nights.
With the connection that was made
it was possible for letters from Seattle
mailed ten days ago to be here this af
ternoon, and the mail brought on the
rig may prove by examination to have
covered the run in ten days.
Dr. R. B. Coutts, the happy assistant
superintendent of the line, was aboard,
and came through od the rig to White
horse. He enjoyed the trip Immense
ly and says his meals never tasted bet
ter than after an outing of this kind.
Hobo Bill was driver to the crossing,
and MoAdams pushed the ribbons from
there to Dawson.
Dr. Coutts reports snow a li: tie shy
the first 25 miles out from Whltehorse.
Elsewhere it is plentiful, and on the
Grand Valley-Iudian stretch it is a lit
tle too deep. On the whole the* trail is
in fine condition.? Dawson News.
