Neit Monday. 1. is
l-abor l<*y Th?> day i* celebrated
n , public holiday in all the state*
of tb* I n ion and Alaska.
With the rot urn bom* of negate
Jamer Wickersham, It would be a
(?roper thing for this city to greet
him in a public manner, by holding
a !-??< option ia hi* honor Ho la the
moat distinguished man In Alaska.
aikI the distinction baa not been con
ferred upon hint by political appoint
ment ho has earned It.
Make Alaska your home; not Just
:? stopping place on the way to a
distant somewhere that seems allur
ing because it Is far away. Wo have
a better climate here than have half I
the states of the I'nlon It Is *n
expensive and ?n satisfactory habit,
this going outside to spend o?r
? inters and our money.
The nation is undergoing another |
spasm of moral stirring up From
NV? York to Oregon, there are io?
win of cities undergoing a rejuvena
i ion of civic duties which mutt ulti
mately have a healthy effect Per
haps the coming presidential election
haa much to do with the awakening
of the public conscience. When pol
! iticiana fall out, they begin looking
up each other a records, and gener
ally something is found upon which
to base an investigation. There are
a certain per cent, of milk and wa
i ter morallata who do not belleTe In
stirring up delinquencies of the un
l??rlife. in the fear that the expos
ure wilt hurt the ^oTntnunlty; but
the experience of the thinking has
show a that a quick and vigorous ex
posure of crime is the most effec
tive way of destroying It No ritv
can afford to draw a reii over Its
immoralities, because the public can
usually see under the diaphanous
screen and spy out the imperfection
underneath. The sentiment of
right doing always gets In the ma
jority after a while, then comes the
cleaning up.
Church Doesn't
Need a Press
Agent
By th? Rtfht Rev. DAVID
H. GREER. P. E. Bishop
of New York
l
1IX> not foci much sympathy with the idea of applying io re
ligion those methods of PUBLICITY which have no doubt ;
served a very useful purpose in the fields of commerce and
politics. The message which religion bears to mankind is of a
closely INTIMATE AND PERSONAL CHARACTER. Its a^
poal is to the spiritual element in man, and for my part I cannot asso
ciate the teaching? of Christ with the kind of public advertisement
which is the business of the PRESS AGENT.
PEOPLE CANNOT BE MAOE RELIGIOUS. EXCEPT IN A VERY SU
PERFICIAL WAY. BY PUBLICITY METHODS. THEY MUST HAVE
DEFINITE AND POSITIVE CONVICTIONS AS THE BASIS OF CHAR
ACTER AND CONDUCT. RESULTING IN THE WILL TO LEAD CLEAN.
PURE AND UNSELFISH LIVES.
Nor do I believe that religion is in such a case today that it need?
the QUESTIONABLE AID OF EXPLOIT/. HON BY WAV
OF ADVERTISEMENT. There has never been a time, in my opin
ion, when men as well as women have shown themselves more inter
ested in questions of religion, 'which must necessarily appeal to all
thoughtful people and which csnnot be <tf?missed from their considera
tion, than they are today. They may not have definite and fixed re
ligious opinions, but they would like to have them.
CHURCH attendance, in my judgment, is greater today
THAN EVER BEFORE IN THIS COUNTRY.
There is also an increasing volume of gifts for charitable works,
and above all there is more personal service than ever being riven
daily by the laity to mission and philanthropic work.
Mr. A C. Mercer, the well known
photographer will haTe foil charge

making a specialty of A. B. Mb

ke is ro* fined strictly to that work
He will serre the public generally

A singular pbetiomctioii occura on
Cw border* (?r tti<- IM m at a place
railed NtltiHM, w here Intermittent on
lergrvund sounds h;ive been heard for
tu utiknunn nuuiInT of centuries. It
la situated lit about half n mile distant
from the shore. w hntn n Ioiir reach of
?aod ascends rapidly to a height of 300
feet This reach la nt*>ut eighty feet
wide aod resembles an amphitheater,
being wallet I by low rtx-ka The
wands coming up from the ground at
thla place recur at Intervals ol about
to hour. They at first resemble a low
murmur, but ere long there la heard a
lood knocking somewhat like the
otrofcea of a l*?ll ain( which at Ihe eml
>f about live minutes becomes so
ttrong as to agitate the sand. The ex
planation of this curious phenomenon i
given by the Arabs Is that there Is a j
ronvent under the ground here and
that these sounds are those of the bell
which toe monks ring for prayers. So
they call It Nakoua. which rnenns a
hell. The Arabs affirm that the noise
vo frightens their camels when they
bear It as to render them furious.
Itdlosophers attribute tbe sound to
oppressed volcanic action, probably to
the babbling of gus or vapors under
rround
