IYeadwell belonged to rival Servian
locletlea. When it caoae to the funeral
;here was a protest against the Inter
ment of the nooualon miner in the
Douglas cemetery. The society whloh
Is affiliated with the miners' union was
massed on the street to stop the funeral.
Rare presence of mind on the part of
the federal offiulala, aupported by the
buaioesa community, w*a responsible
for averting trouble. At on* time fully
two huadred Servians were badly mixed
on the street.

IT RECIPROCITY SMOKER
The so-eaUci Reciprocity smoker
given last night by the winners In the
late membership contest of the Arctic
Brotherhood tcok place last night at A.
B. halt and was the oocailon of one of
the most thoroughly enjoyable enter
tainments ever held in Skagway.
The smoker was inspired by the
leader of thfe winning team, Mr. Ed.
Culbertson, and was carried out under
his direction in large measure. Many
features were entirely novel to such
things in this city. In the first place
the old banquet board was done away
with, the hall being tilled instoad with
little square tables just big enough for
four, all dressed in cheerful colors and
laid with individual service. The tables
were olose enough together to main
aln as much sociability with the sur
rounding tables ad cou'd have
bsen gettcn oat of the long and
formal table and a whole
lot mo. e for all the guests were set at
ease, able to move about, inspired to
speak to their neighbors above a whis
per at once and without waiting for the
ftncorklng influence of the refresh
menu.
On the d <is of the Arctic Chief sat
the toastmoster of the evening, Dr. L.
S. Keller, and oo his right Arctic Chief
Robert Sheldon, and on the left District
deputy Grand Arctic Chief M. S
Whlttler. The desk and hall were
tastefully dressed.
The tables were of course filled and
the service of the supper proceeded
with as smoothly as the fare was de
lightful.
Dr. Keller, presided with that grace
that has distinguished him through a
longsorlesof such occasions, Introduc
ing the spaakers with quip and side
step that make for a night moat excel
lently spent, carrying pleasing memo
ries forev r. Tbe addresses .vere all
short, sharp to tho point, the music full
of enoorcs insomuch that the alTair was
carried just well over the midnight
hour without a flaw. Following is the
program which was carried out just as
it it as writ although it was writ with
out the knowledge of any party to it
until they arrived in the hall. The
programs were, by the way, handsome
ly printed for tho occasion.
