government should con
trol
The agi'ation at Washington caused
by the efforts of one J. T. Flynn, of
Nome and elsewhere, to lease the gov
ernment. cable, is an incident thai indi
cates the necessity of having a man et
Washington to represent the people of
Alaska, rather than some special inter
terests. There is no question but tha:
the best Interests of Alaska would not
be served by granting private control
of the cab!e. It should continue in the
hands of the federal government.
No private corporation would give to
the people who use the cable as good
service as they are getting now, at the
same cost to them. No private corpor
ation would extend the cables and land
wires to the extent that the govern
ment probably will extend them on the
prospect for business that now prevails.
It has been said (hat the service we
are now getting could be improved
upon. There is no doubt of that. No
one pretends '.hat it has reached per
fection. No one could reasonably ex
poet that it woulo d j so while the sys
tem is yet in the formative period. But
it will be improved. There has been
constant advance iu the service from
the beginning, and there is likely to be
a continuation of tha', improvement.
It might be said that there is do
danger of Mr. Flynn succeeding in his
efforts. That is not so certaia. Wash
ington !s filled to the brim with lobby
ists for this scheme and that. Nothing
is more likely than that they will
follow the common custom of lobbyists
everywhere, and pool issues that do noi
conflict. Alaska should be on guard.
Alaska should doc miss tae opporiu
nity to send Gov. Swineford to Wash
ington. He would go there with cre
dentials that world give hitn special
weight before committees, senators
and representatives in congress, and
the heads of departments, and he
would bo a representative froji the
masses of the people? those who live
in Alaska and develop lis resources?
rather than as a member of the gang
who hover around winter resorts ami
metropolitan hotels a d gamble on
Alaskan futurities.
The secretary of war estimates that
ho has espetded >400,000 in fight
ing for the suppression of dives near
Fort Sheridan, Chicago, that have
grown up as the result of the abolitioc

Danger of a Cold and Hov to Avoid
Them
More fatalitits have their origin it
or result from a col ? than from any
other cause. This fact alone should
make people more careful as there is no
danger whatever from a cold when it is
properly treated in the beginning. For
manv years Chamberlain's Cough Re
medy has been recognized as the most
prompt and efiectual medicine in use
for this disease. It acts on nature's
plan, loosens the cough, relieve the
lungs, opens the secretions and aid
nature in restoring the system to *

Principal Barbershop Lead*
The Principal Barbershop and Baths
is the leading tnnsorial establishment
ii. Alaska. Everything In all the de
partments is strictly modern. The
baths are first class in all respects.
When the Yankees took the forts
that lined Port Royal harbor we on
our plantation, ten miles from Beau
fort, did not know that they had steam
ed up to the town and the Inhabitant*
hnd fled. Our mother, looking out
of the window of an upper story, saw
them coming, and, running down
I stairs shouting "The Yankees!" we all
I rushed pellmell from the house. No
one stopped to take up a single pieco
of Jewelry or silverware.
At nightfall we reached Colouel Wig
gins' plantation and were so tired that
we could go no farther. The colonel
kindly took us In and sent several of
his colored men, on whom he could de
pend, back to watch the roads and give
us warning If the Yankees were com
ing. As soon as we got settled we call
ed the roll and found all were present
except Kathleen O'Rourke. Kathleen
was mother's maid. How she had
drifted from Ireland to South Carolina
no one knew. Mother picked her up in
Charleston and, taking a fancy to her,
put her quadroon maid Into the kitchen
and Installed Kathleen in her place.
We stayed at Colonel Wiggins' a
week, and since the Yankees- did not
follow us our fright gradually left us
and we began to think that we had
acted unwisely In not staying on the
plantation and trying to protect our
property. I proposed to return and see
how things were going, but mother
would not hear of It. She said that no
daughter of hers should place herself
In a position to be Insulted by north
ern vandals. However, I determined
to go and one morning stole away on
my little mare.
When I reached the bouse I saw offi
cers coming and going, while a sentinel
paced before the front door. In the
cotton field across the road were hun
dreds of white tents. I was going in
to our own home, mind you? when the
detestable sentinel blocked the way. 1
asked to sec the officer In command,
and he called, "Orderly!" A soldier ap
peared and said the staff were at din
ner. Walking Into the hall through an
open door, I saw half a dozen officers
seated around a table, and to my ns
tonlshment who should be at one end
but Kathleen. She saw me and In an
other moment lolned me.
"Oh. Mis# Camilla," she said, falling
oil my neck In order that she might
whisper In my ear, "what'll 01 do?
Ol've been tellln* 'em that Oi'm the
daughter o" the house? that Oi'm you!
Ol've held on to all the Jewelry and all
the Bllver and"?
The officers, having finished their
meal, rose from the table and came
Into the hall.
"General." said Kathleen, "this Is me
maid that has come back to be with
me again."
Did you ever hear of such Impu
dence? My ancestors have lived so
long In the south that my skin Is, I
admit, dark enough for ail octoroon,
but for this fair skinned Irish girl to
introduce me as her maid? I thought I
should faint. However, what she had
told m? about the Jewels and the silver
restrained me. and I fell In with her
plan. The officers on seeing me were
about to greet uie deferentially, but
on hearing Kathleen's story they pass
ed on without a word.
Well, It dawned upon me that Kath
leen was a very bright girl and had
acted very bravely. She had told the
officers that she had been educated
abroad. In order to account for her
accent. She was wearing my best
clothes und I confess looked very pret
ty and stylish as well. I remained in
the house as her maid an;l was greatly
amused by the way she had got half a
dozen men by the ears. The general
was In love with her, and, since his
authority was supreme, at least in this
locality, everything In the house was
perfectly safe.
But while a servant had a general
for her slave I had only a captain.
Louis Whltten, an aid-de-camp, was
attracted to me from the moment he
saw me. Supposing me to have negro
blood In my veins, he sought me only
clandestinely. I confess that the hap
piest moments In my life were In
watching hiiu suffer, thinking he loved
one whom he must not marry. I told
him to go and make love to my mis
tress, but it was I he wanted, and tho
gulf between us bid fair to drive him
crazy. At first I augmented his torture,
but at last becoming myself as deeply
In love with him as he was with me,
I was pained to see him suffer.
For months we were obliged to keep
up a deception which Kathleen had
commenced. We were afraid that if we
confessed the protection afforded by
the good will of the general would be
withdrawn and the property given over
to be plundered. When the Federal
| troops went up to fight at Tocotallgo
those In our neighborhood went with
| them. The evening before they march
ed I told Kathleen that I would make
my true self known to Captain Writ
ten. Kathleen made the confession
herself. The look of relief on his face
when I saw him again was replaced by
one of anxiety to know his fate. I
atoned for the torture I bad Inflicted
upon him by giving bim what he called
the one great happiness of his life.
A a soon as the troops were gone
Kathleen and I took everything of val
ue that could be moved to Colonel
Wiggins, but It was not necessary, for
file Federal troops never returned to
that locality. I did not see Captain
Whltten again till the war had onded,
when be came to claim me.
Kathleen had the good sense to d?
ellne * proposal from the general aaS
tfterrsrd married a sergeant In tb*
