ALTAR OR SKOOKUM HOUSE
The reports thit have gone to the
world during the past year or two, rela
tive to the social and hygienic condition
of the Alaskan Indians have aroused
the interior department to a sense of its
duty in the premises says the Wrangell
Sentinel. As a consequence of investi
gations, Mr. UpdegratT has been in
structed to appoint medical examiners
for each of the judicial districts. It will
be the duty of these examiners to visit
every native home in their respective
jurisdictions and make careful and
searching observations of the physical
condition of every Indian, with a view
to stamping out unsanitary conditions
and attendant disease which exist in
such a marked degree. The examiners
will also be vested with powr to com
pel white men who are living in adult
ery with native women, to marry them
according to law, or go to jail. The
native custom of living togetner as man
and wife without the lawful ceremouy
will also be abolished.
"The appointment of the examiner for
southeastern Alaska will probably have
been made before this has reached the
reader, and for the benetitof any reader
who may be exposed to process of law,
we say: get yourself in readiness for
what is to come, for the examiner is
ia apt to appear unannounced. Bear io
mind the manner in which Fish Inspec
tor Cobb "landed" the trap fishermen,
only a few weeks ago, and govern your
self accordingly. A word to the wise is
sufficient."
NEW PROHIBITION MOVEMENT
New York city has evolved a new
temperance movement. The idea as
advanced is that all persons addictec
to the drink habit pass an examination
that shall include the wishes of rela
tives with regard to drink and then, if
the board appointed (or the purpose
sees tit, the drinks shall be given a
license upon the payment of a pres
cribed fee. Saloon keepers are to be
forbidden to sell liquors iO any one not
possessed of a license and the plan
also provides that any one who has no
license shall be punished for drinking.
The right to impose such restriction
upon the personal liberty of the indi
vidual was put to the test in a case at
court and denied in the first instance
but it is related that a higher court has
sustained the .prohibitionists and the
movement is being pushed.
ALONE.
1MIS3 you. my darling, my darling.
The embers burn !???? on the hearth.
And still I j the stir of the household.
And hushed Is the voice of Us mirth.
Tho nun splashes fast on the terrace.
The wind past the lattices inoan.
The midnight chimes out from the min
ster.
And I am alone.
1 call you. my darling, my darling.
I am tired with care and with fret.
I would nestle In sllenc# beside you
And all but your presence forget
In th? hush of tho happiness given
To those who through trusting have
grown
To the fullness of love In contentment.
But I am alone.
I call you. my darling, my darling.
My voice echoes back on my heart.
I stretch my arms to you In longing.
And. lo. they fall empty apart.
I whisper tho sweet words yju havo
taught me.
The words that we only havo known.
Till the blank of the dumb air Is better.
Kor I am alone.
1 need you. my darling, my darling.
With Its yearning my very heart aches.
The load that divides us weighs harder.
1 shrink from tho Jar that It makes.
Old sorrows rise up to b? sjt me.
Old doubts make my spirit their own.
Oh. como through the darkness and save
me.
Kor 1 am alone.

MARSHAL S SON MS NARROW ESCAPE
G. M. Shoup, son of the United Slates
marshal of the first judicial division,
arrived at Nome on the steamer Gussie
Brown, according to the Gold Digger,
after an exciting and adventurous trip
down the river, barely escaping drown
ing at a place called Kutalik. Shoup
made an attempt to leap to the shore
from the steamer at that point, but
came to grief because of a long coat he
wore. The coat tails caught on the
gunwale and plunged him headlong
into the water, and as he could not
swim he was iu much danger (or a
few minutes. A man on board ran to
the side and leaped into the water in
time to save the young mans. Young
Shoup lives at Juneau and is making a
trip of pleasure tnrough this part of
Alaska.
