DON'T GIVE UP THE FORT.
The iww? of the removal of the
marines from Sitka and the aban
donment of the ?W?8t military poe-v
in Mf^k? sine*, the purchase of the
Northern Territory from Russia 111
1SC7 brings to our mind* the con
sideration of matters, militant new
(i at hewne.
few jssues aco. of the Army
and Navy Journal, it was noted that
an appropriation. r<vom mended by
Hri<: Gen. Marion P. Maus. to the
War IVpartment, had been asked for.
by the Socretary of War. few the
construction of t*and barracks and
headquarter buildings at FV>rt Gibbon,
at the mouth of the Tsinaaa river.
This would indicate thai* a move Is
on foot for the removal of the Al
aska military headquarters from the
jxreeoot location at FVsrt William H.
So*arvi. near Haires. to the Port in
the interior of Alaska.
The reason for the placing of the
headquarters. from the accessible and
nWIty located pe*t on the shores of
Lynn Canal to FOrt Gibbon, where
an army would be immovable during
the winter months of the year can
not be understood by those of ?
practical -rr. of m;~d. Nor is the
move consistent with the policy of
the government in their operations
of the Northern Posts, two oom
panies of troops having been with
drawn from F*?rt Egbert, and the
jy>si hai ing been abandoned during
the past summer.
It looks like a safe bet that the
pressure behind th'.s new military
tactic, is being exerted by the bi$
navigation companies operating on
the outside Alaska ran and the low
er Tutor, river who would derive a
oonsjderab** :: -v?fe in hasinees. in
the lar.ee amount of supplies that
would be hauled to the new post,
providing that the headquarters were
placed there, and for which they
would receive in the neighborhood of
loO.O# per toe. This is the only ad
vantage that can be seen. which
voujd result from this added increase
of expense to the Government for
the support of headquarters in that
part of Alaska
The Joss o ? the headquarters with
the Commanding Officer and Staff,
the Battalion band, and the reduction
of the Post from a battalion Post
with four companies of soldiers to
one or t?x> companies or possibly a
mere garr-.son of a handful of troops,
would be a death blow to the little
city of Haiafa. Not only would the
business men of Haines suffer from
th? move, but the Skagway mer
chants would fevl an immediate loss
in business.
It is cp to the -people of bkagway
V join with the residents of Haines
to register a rigorous protest with
the War Department against this pro
posed move>.

THE ENGLISHMAN'S BATH.
Not So Vory Long Apo It W an Ue- |
known Institution.
We boast ourselves a cleanly people
and are apt to scorn the foreigner who !
does not dally perf. rui the ritual of j
the tub. Yet. the British Medical Jour
nal points out, it Is not so long ago since
we had the reputation of being an ex
ceptionally dirty people In the year
1300 there was not a single private
bouse lu London provided with a bath
room.
A witness stated before the health
commission about the middle of the
last century that the only two occa
sions on which one of the laboring
classes was washed all over was im
mediately after birth and after death.
Even at the present day our couteiu
porary doubts if dirtier people could
be found anywhere in the world than
among our lower classes. "A French
workman wou'd be ashamed to wear
tlie ? iothes i-i which the British labor
er r^s to hi< dally work. There Is
nothing tbrt tramp* who apply at
workbooks think a more brutal tyran
ny than t lie enfor>-ed bath."
In the middle aces, we are reminded,
cur dirt and squalor were the theme
of comment by foreign visitors. Three
centuries apo what mo?t struck a Tor- |
tugue-e traveler In England was the
fact that the English gentry never
washed. Ernsmns has left a picture
of the dirt that prevailed In the houses
of noblemen.
It is not difficult from this to imagine
what the state of things must have
been among the poorer classes. At one
time both men and women who were
careful of their complexions cleaned
thctr faces with a dry white linen
cloth, because It was believed that
washing the face with water made it
more susceptible to cold in winter and
to tan la summer. The story of Lady
Mary Wort ley Montagu's hands Is too
well known to be repeated. Johnson
said he had no passion for clean linen,
and even the f ne gentlemen of his day
were far from scrupulously clean in
their persons.? Westminster Gaiette.
