SHARON. Pa., Jan. 14.? "Billy
Sunday told yesterday the story of
David and Goliath, according to his
own ideas, and it made a big hit.
Here it is in his own words:
"And so David's pa cornea tip to
him where he was working in the
field and says: 'Dave, better go up
to the house, your ma's anxious
about the oth'T boys fighting in the
army, hasn't heard from them by
phone or anything, and she'd like you
should go look them up." So Dave
hops on a trolley and hikes to the
front and stays ther ? with his broth
ers over night. '
"In the morning old Goliqth comes
out in from of the Philistines and
dares the Israelites to flfcht hiiu.
"Who's that bi^ stiff 'making all the
big talk out there ." ask:, Dave.
'? 'Why. that's the li ad ciiose, the |
big noise." says his brothels.
" 'Why don't some one soak ium;
one?" asks Dave.
?? "We've all ^ot cold feet," saj s
i the Israelites.
" 'Vou fellows uiak* nu- tired.' says
Dave, and he pikes out to tli< broo!*.
sets four pebbles iu his shepherd's
sack, slants one at Goliath and soak*
him in th^ coco bctw mi tin lamps, j
Goliath goes to tb mat. tak? . th' j
count, and Dave pokes hiui in the j
slats, chops off his block and the
whole Philistine j;anR skidooed."

TODAY COLDEST
OF 1VO YEARS
Old Duiue Nature has boon rather
fractious of late. Not content with
establishing a reco*l yesterday for
ihe coldest day of the year she
promptly went one. better today. To
lay is the coldest recorded in Skag
way for the past two years.
At 1 o'clock this morning the tern
>erature was :i degrees below zero.
\t N o'clock this morning the obser
vation taken on Moore's wharf show
ed the thermometer to be :i degrees
jelow. Reliable thermometers up
own away from the salt water gave
a temperature of 6 degrees below.
The coldest temperature yesterday
* as I degrees below and the warmest
was at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the mercury was 1 degree
?above the zero notch. The cold
north wind and the damp atmosphere
today and yesterday intensified the
cold.
In the interior the weather is
very severe, being Gt> degrees below
;it Selkirk and Yukon Crossing and
below at Dawson.
President Snyder of the Home
Power company and Mayor Shea call
ed at The Alaskan today and stated
that owing to the habit of many
house holders of allowing their water
faucets to run night and day during
the cold weather to prevent the pipes
fromsfreezlng, the amount of ^watar
being used was about three times as
great as the--normal cpnsumption.
file normal consumption of water
in Skagway is about 135,000 gallons
daily. Mr. Snyder stated that at leauti
4(p0,000 gallons were now being used
daily. The reservoir on the first
bench has a capacity in summer of
?00.000 gallons. This is greatly de
creased now because of the amount
of water frozen. If the cold weather
should continue for another month a
serious water shortage might result
unless the present rate of consump
tion is curtailed. ^
After a consultation with, Mayor
Shea it was decided to efnorce a sec
tion of the city ordinance which pro
hibits the unnecessary waste of
water. Mayor Shea has empowered
tlie water commissioner to look o\it
for offeuders and states the ordinance
will be enforced.
I!
AGAINST FIRE
Mayor Shea wishes to urge upon 1
all property owners the necessity of
taking precautions to avoid fires dur
ing the cold* weather: Over-heated,
stoves are a frequent cause of fires I
and when the weather Is severe
stoves are apt to become over-heated. i
A fire at this time of the year w
the cold weather and a high wind j
raging might-be very disastrous.
Chief of Police Dillon and Mayor |
Shea have patrolled Skagway for the<
last two nights on the lookout for
fires. They discovered and put out
two burning chimneys Wednesday
night that might have resulted
starting serious blazes.
Precautions have been taken to pre
>-ent the fire hose from becoming
frozen, as It was last Friday night
when Mr. O'Connell's residence was
burned. The doors of the fire houses
are kept closed and stoves or lanterns
are constantly burning inside to keep
the hose warm.

The freighter Wellington is still un
loading coal at Moor's wharf and will
be here for some days longer. The
unloading of the coal is progressing
slowly as the pipe supplying water 'o
the engine that operates the liuiwte
has frozen several times. ^

The Eagles hospitality is. known to

notice to Water consumers.
Water consumers are hereby uotl- (
fied that on account of the water be- ?
ing wasted by properly holders, who
are allowing their faucets to run
night and day to .prevent the pipes
from freezing, that section 19 of the
Ordinance No. 109 will be strictly en
forced. P. W. Snyder stated today
that if the waste continued the water
inspector would investigate and shut
off the water from all people who
are found to be violating the ordi
nance. The ordinance reads as fol
lows:
"Water must not be allowed tol
run to waste through any faucet orj
fixture, or kept running at any time !
longer than is necessary for Its proper
use. When such is found or persisted!
in the right is hereby reserved tol
shut off the water from the prem- J
Ises." '
The water should be turned off at
the cocks controlling the mains en
tering the houses. The pipes can
then be drained out and cannot freeze
