THE KUIOLT SPIRIT
Again does the Seattle Post-IntelU
?encer show iu friendly feeling for Al
aska. when in a leader on its editorial
page it hi<s the following.'
"A directory just issued for the Ta?
ana rallev contains :>,000 names, and
emphasizes in other ways the growth of
Alaska in and around Fairbanks. Four
teen creeks and villages ail.iaceut to
Fairbanks are included In the new pub
licuiou, which is merely a forerunner,
it is announced, to a more comprehen
sive directory to include Juneau, Doug
las Island, Sitka. Ketchikan, Skagway.
Windv Arm, Birch Creek, Pawson,
Fort> mile. Kagie, Circle, Kam part and
other places in Alaska and the Yukon
Territory.
Growth in theTauana valley has been
particularly marked: there has been no
serious halt in developmental activities,
and there is no indication at this time
of any stop in the forward movement.
Vital statistics iu the Tanana direct
ory show that only 15fi deaths occurred
between 1H03 and 1^01. ar. exceptionally
good showing for the district. Vet, it
Is uot unreasonable to as.-,u:ue that this
rate will be measurably raiuced as the
coodittons of life improve, as they will
as the territory progresses. On the
whole, the people in the district have
id&E) things tc be thankful for, despite
the fact that they have not >et come
fully into the inhtritance rightly be
longing to tbem."
Douglas Island New> "If the report
be true that, upon ths arrival of Cloy.
Hoggatt a'. Fairbanks, both the papers
of that city sei/ed upon the opportunity
to "roast" hiui. ib? editors of those
papers lac* cot oc y udgment anil dis
cretion, but common sense. Abuse is
not argument, and there are tiroes when
even argument is out of season. If the
papers of Juneau had not greeted Gov.
Brady with glaring headline*, "Siwasb
Brady U io Town." the people of Alas
ka would now hive uiore respect for
the papers of that city."
The A'a>kac is in receipt of a protest
froin a subscriber In Caribou, who h;is
become nettled over the fact thit papers
sect from th's office were addressed to
Carcross. The papers have gone to him
every day at Carcross. hence The Al
askan is free from suspicion of having
intended to give him the double cross
and to show that the right spirit pre
vails on our part we intend to see to it
that the offeose is committed no more.
Professor Frederick Starr of the Chi
cago I'niversilv, has broken loose ngaio
with the declaration that children
should wear no clothing, cot a stitch,
until they are :en years old. Hut with
the sundry and numerous piecesof court
plaster, bandages, poultices, etc . that
woulu be retired in dressing the
wounds, cuts, scratches, bruises, sun
burn and other minor injuries, even at
that, most of them would be uretty well
covered most of the time.
The V'ortland Telegram tells of an
? iepbant at a recent show putting his
trunk into the pocset of a man who was
watching him and eating a roll of bills
amounting to 5'"'0. However, there
are hundreds of fellows who can vouch
that this is cot very much to be out
after seeing the elephant.
Then agaiu, being wild posies and
unused to auch sights, it is almost an
? ven bet that when tirst confronted by
lh* maidens who were here studying bot"
any arrayed in their short dresses,
local (lowers modestly drooped their
heads
Even at that. Captain Hansen of the
steamship San Pedro, has so far been
presented with no Carnegie medals.

Mr. Fiske is going to enlarge Ills lield

Mr. 1'lske has at present under his

putting out another company >n a par
with his two leading organizaiions nil
iiierous report* have lieeii eireulaled as
to the identity of ihe star. The most
plausible story heard mid generally lie

The name of the play iu will eh Fer
nanda Eliseti will appear 1ms not been ?
announced. She has recently been try
ing various uew plays and new ver
sions of old pieces iu Yiddish at the
Kallch theater. Mr. Fiske has not ye I
made any announcement as to the play
or the actress. However. It is under
stood that when the new company Is
organized some of the actors froui the
Mauhuttan company, whose services
will not be essential for Mrs. Kiske's
next production, will be drafted iuto it
as the basis for a strong supporting
organization.
Elsie Janls, now in vaudeville and
recently the star In "The Vamlerliilt
Cup," under tin- management of l.le
bier & Co . is to lr the next I'iliinghn
star. Miss .Tunis fulfilled her vaude
ville contract with I'erc.v Williams only
after resisting an application for a re
straining injunction brought by her
former managers. Miss .lanis admits
that she expects to return to musical
comedy in the nutumn. but no .- .utract
has yet been announced.
nOBKKT HCTT.EH.
Ball Season's Poor Start.
A Boston newspaper remarked the
other day: "This has been by all odds
the worst season thus far ever known
for major league baseball in the way of
weather conditions. The clubs will,
however, make up much of their tiuau
clal losses by double headers later on.
And the most distasteful condition
known to the player is playing double
headers." Wrong as to tlrst statement.
The worst sprint; on record was that
of 1S92. It bankrupted a number of
minor leagues and severely strtined
even the National league in Its first
season as a twelve club league
