MRS. HART IS
HARD AT WORK
Mrs. Hart, commissioner for
women's work in Alaska for the A.
Y.-P. exposition, writes to friends In
this city that she has had a very suc
cessful trip to the westward, having
effocted organization of women to
take charge of the work locally at
Cordova, Katalla, Valdez, Seward and
in fact, all places where such work
was possible. She* has had to rough
it a good deal In her travels, having
repeatedly been drenched with water
by landing at inaccesslblo places.
At Katalla she was compelled to do
her work while the boat waited, as
steamer connections were such there
that she could not afford to wait
over. She landed in the surf and was
given three cheers by the people of
that place as she came away. She
has just visited the settlement at
Metlakatla where she arragned for
p.n effective exhibit. She has gone
to Wrangell and will work up this
way.
The C. P. R. Princess May came
into port early yesterday morning
looking like Captain Peary's ship.
She was sheathed in ice, the decks
plated two Inches thick and the pi
lot house and smoke stack complete
ly covered, with the rigging of the
mast trimmed in icicles. She had
had a hard trip, with winds and fogs
against, her, and was two days over
time. Her trip was characterized by
much sea sickness ? all hands suffer
ing more or less. Captain McLeod
says it was the worst ever. She
brought a slim list of passengers and
16 tons and sailed at 4 o'clock with
84 passengers.
The Jefferson arrived yesterday
and sailed at 7 p. m. wltM 50 pas
sengers.
The regular leeting of the Prls
cilia club will be held at the home
oC Miss Liddlcoat.
(Special to The Daily Alaskan.)
ATLIN, Nov. 2. ? Joseph Peno, a
young Spaniard who has been en
gaged <.n mining on Pine creek all
this season, met his death on Satur
day in a very shocking manner. Peno
had gone into the brush near Dis
covery to get some fire wood. He
was returning home carrying a heavy
log 14 feet long upon his left shoul
der. When crossing a sheet of glare
ice he apparently slipped and fell.
The log seems to have bore him
down and to have fallen upon his
head as it struck the ice, crushing
his skull and causing instant death.
Alarmed by Peno's absence his part
ner went in search of him and was
horrified when coming upon his body
lying frozen solid in a large pool of
blood.
