attention to alask&n dele

In spite of all that has been said by
carping tories congress does seem to be
paying some attention to the delegates
to Washington, selected at the conven
tion held in Seattle last November.
They have not been given seata in the
house of representatives. No one fa
miliar with congressional matters ever
expected that they would be. But they
have been given free run of the com
mittee rooms and they will be recog
nized as men authorized by the people
to speak for them. They will have a
standing that will make the position of
self-constituted lobbyists, who have
been the whole thing in the past, less
dangerous to the best interests of
Alaska.
And the best part of this is, that at the
head of the delegation is Gov. Swine
ford, a man who stands for the rule of
Alaska by the people of Alaska; a man
without guile, without a selfish interest
or ambition to serve.
President Roosevelt and others at
Washington who are high in authority,
while constantly urging a delegate in
congress for Alaska, always refrain
from mentioning the question of
self-government for the district, but
they will come to it. When the fact
becomes clear to him that the people
of Alaska and those members of con
gress who understand conditions m
Alaska best are for territorial govern
ment for this district, President Roose
velt will support the proposition. It
will be made clear to him in this yea.
of our Lord, 1W)6.
Ohio papers say that Congressman
Nicholas Longworth, the prospective
son-in-law of President Roosevelt, will
become the leader of the reform forces
against. Boss Cox and against Senators
Foraker and Dick in Cincinnati. He
will be backed up, it is said, by former
Mayor Fleishman, who was defeated
last November for re-election.
Dr. William R. Harper, the dead
president of Chicago University, was a
cousin of E. J. White, editor of the
Whiteho-se Star. They were born and
reared in the same locality and receiv
ed their education at the same college.
Dr. Harper became famous and his
cousin a newspaper man.
Eighty-three claim owners on Dome
creek, in [the Tanana country, have
signed a statement which repudiates
the action of the so-called Dome Creek
Miners' association, at a meeting of
which, when a half-dozen were present,
resolutions denunciatory of Judge
Wickersham were adoptnd.
If it were left to the disinterested
people of Alaska, who stand for pro
gressive Americanisu, Judge Wicker
sham would be confirmed in the?ap
pointment President Roosevelt has
given him, by a majority that would be
overwhe'ming.
It is announced that George Ade will
not write any more slang. This is for
the purpose of keeping a promise, made
to William Dean Howells long ago,
that he would quit so soon as he had
accumulated a competency.

DENIES IT
Capt. Brands Accusa
tions As Lies
Capt. Mogg emphatically denies the
charge that he wrecked the whaler
Bonanza. In an interview in the San
Francisco Examiner he said:
'?I am a sailor,* and shall continue to
be a sailor. Would I be such a fool as
to wreck my ship and run the risk of
ruining my reoutation, particularly
when almost all I possessed in the world
was tied up in that same ship?
As for the charge that I tried to per
suade the crew to ship in some other
vessel as soon as possible, that is quiie
true. I did so. Perhaps they would
prefer to continue living in that," and
he drew from his pocket a photograph
of the shell o.' the Bonanza, lying on
the beach with great rents letting day
light into her hull. "If they don't ship
they'll stay theie. That's all there is
about ic.
"The charge that I was on prolonged
debauch during the greater part of the
voyage is made out of whole cloth'
The entire letter is just a yarn concoct
ed by a lot of old sailors."

1 Counter Currents
[Original.]
It was the last performance of the
"Greeu Monster," and the company
would break up as soon as It was over.
Harold Gray, leading gentleman, was
to take a midnight train to join a new
company and Marian Tri -tile, was to
do likewise, their engagements being In
cities a thousand miles apart. Miss
Trevllle was playing "heavy woman,"
Interfering with Mr. Gray's love affair
with Cynthia King, leading lady. There
was a real romance going on, running
counter to the fictitious one. Gray had
been falling In love with the very wo
man by whose villainies he had been
thwarted In his fictitious love. To
make matters worse, Miss King, hero
ine, had been "telling stories" about
Miss Trevllle.
The real denoument had come out as
the actors In the double drama were
going on the stage. This made Gray's
role extremely difficult. He was oblig
ed to heap anathemas on the head of
Miss Trevllle whom he had Just dis
covered had been maligned by Miss
King. He was obliged to make love to
Miss King, who had caused all the mis
chief between him and the woman ho
really loved. The first opportunity he
had to speak his real mind was in the
third act when having spoken his lines
he retired with Miss King, K. C., amid
thunder reverberating from sheet iron
behind the scenes. His concluding lines
were:
"Fair girl, the blacker this fiend has
painted you, the deeper my love for
you."
While both were dazed by flashes
of lightning and frightful crashes of
thunder, he added loud enough only for
her to hear:
"What did you want to put up a Job
on another woman for?"
"I didn't That yarn came from a
chorus girl."
At the end of the scene he took the
girl In his arms, she wept and nobly
forgave her slanderer. While the lights
were being turned down to slow music
Gray growled:
"It's lucky this is the last night.
You've kicked up a muss the company
wouldn't get over in a hurry. The next
time you try to blacken a woman's
reputation I'd advise you to take a
high kicking ballet girl."
"Stop making a guy of yourself or
I'll go off the stage and tell the old
man I won't finish with you."
The threat had the desired effect
and the kiss that came at the end of
the scene was very realistic to the au
dience, though the man's lips, being
nearer the woman's ear than her
mouth, whispered, or, rather, said, for
what is said on the stage In an ordina
ry voice can't be heard by an audience:
"The only damage you've done you'v?
done yourself."
The scene which had evoked univer
sal commendation for a hundred and
ninety-nine nights fell flat on this the
two hundredth, and the curtain went
down without the clapping of a single
pair of hands. The manager was furi
ous. Calling the leading actors togeth
er, he declared that he would withhold
their salaries If they did not put aside
the company quarrel and do their parts
properly. His threat served to make
things go more easily, but all natural
ness had gone out of the performance
and could not be forced back. In the
next act the hero meets Miss Trevllle,
who (In the play) had slandered his
love. Unfortunately for a good rendi
tion he had really learned that it was
she who had been slandered. His lines
ran:
"Your sex protects you. I will not
speak au accusing word to or of a wo
man. In this you are safer than a man
intrenched. I bold a woman so sacred
that 1 cannot deny her even proper
deference." (Bows very low).
Retiring amid applause, he found op
portunity to say:
"That cat came pretty near making
It hot for you, didn't she? Lucky we
got onto her tracks."
"But you believed her."
His part came on again, and be said
grandiloquently:
"Go! To say that you have my for
giveness is nothing, but when I say
you have the forgiveness of the woman
you have slandered it but expresses her
nobility."
Mr. Gray did not get another op
portunity to converse with Miss Tre
vllle till near the close. It galled him
that be must spend the little remaining
time making love to the womau who
had caused all the trouble when be
wished to offer himself to the woman
she had Injured. A few minutes be
fore the curtain fell Miss Treville ap
proached him to Are a parting shot at
her stage rival.
"Go with your simpering, sickly
maid"?
"Refrain! Do not goad me to what I
shall be sorry for!"
All the characters were now on the
stage and Gray took occasion to get
near the woman he was supposed to
despise. She stood behind a fat wo
man. He whispered:
"My leaving you Is breaking my
heart"
"I shall be dreadfully lonely without
you."
"TVheh we make another engagement
shall It be in the same company?"
"If you like."
"Shall It be a real engagement?"
"This is so sudden."
"It can't be otherwise."
"Must you go tonight?"
"Yes, sweetheart. Let me go with
the sweet consolation that when we j
meet again it will be as accepted lov
ers."
"You may go with that consolation."
Amid a flourish by the orchestra b*
leads Miss King to the footlights lor
Ingty and the curtain goes down.
