MORE HISTORY.
A paragraph h<u> been making the
iv?unds of Alaska ne w* papers, .and yu
porting 10 come from au auLhoraU-. ?
source. Co -he effect tha- the stve :
ni-llion two hundred thousand dollars
by the United Stales to Russia
4 or A taxka, was set apart for tile it'
of Uie Rusauji Orthodox church i.i
Alaska.
The wriUvr has interviewed Re .
Crloff, Um priest in charge of St. Ai
chaei s cathedral at this place, an?i
iir. tjeorge Kostrometinoff, warden of
-he same, on the subject. Both o>
these gentlemen state positively that
cn? money referred to above was neve."
Lc any way set apart for, nor used by
or for the support of the Russia;,
church. Rev. Orloif was in the ser
v ce of the church in Russia and ha:.
V. en in Alaska in simiiar service for
4 ?n years. Mr. Kostrometinoff ?a
torn and grew up in Alaska, was pre
sent at the ceremonies of the trans
in Sitka, and is recognized as an
authority on matires pertaining to the
Rrssiaa regime in America, as well
as the Russian church and its rela
tionship to the czar's government.
The Russian Orthodox church in
America receives its support today
from the Russian government just as
i? did before the transfer under the
authority of an act of that govern
ment established nearly ninety years
?go. Of the purchase price of Alas
ka, 17000,000 went directly into the
Russian treasury, while $200,000

MEN AND WOMEN.
Although woman was created from
c kus rib, she persistently refuses
I figure as a side issue.
A man reaches the ecstasy of happx
r.oss when he wins a woman's hand.
'? n the woman is contented when
?she has him tw .sted around her little
t.Lgv r.
No woman is so narrow minded as
leave no room for suspicion.
No man is so dull that he can't be
utilized as a tool by a bright, woman.
A married woman's best hopes are
iiiat her worst suspicions will be
ctrfj-med.
Age tells oa a man when it would
not even whisp? r about a woman.
The fiction most dear to woman's
t-eart is not of the sort supplied
l.y her husband.
The man who thinks he knows a
woman like a book usually discovers
ii &ny uncut leaves.
The man who is obliged to make a
Ir'ing by his humor often finds him
jcU at his wits' end.
