EDITORIAL CHANGES
John B. Dennv, of the Juneau bar, is
now editor ami manager of the J uneau
Record-Miner, which is published by a
syndicate of which Mr. Denny is at the
head. Mr. Denny sets forth his pur
poses as an editor modestly and sen?i
bly, He says:
"Our purpose is, first, to publish the
latest authentic cable and local news,
together with such other matter a?
will be of the greatest interest and ben
efit to our readers, and secondly, to ad
vertise Alask's mining and other re
sources in such a manner as will best
encourage the investment of capital for
their development.
"So far as the policy of the Alaska
Record-Miner is concerned, we desire
to say that is not bound or pledged to
the support of either political party, or
to any faction or corporation and is to
be published and conducted by its own
ers as a purely businees enterprise."
Walter & Coutant, heretofore editor
of the Juneau Record-Miner, has re
moved 10 Ketchikan, where he will
have charge of that paper. W. A,
Wyatt, who has been editor of the
Ketchikan Journal goes to Seward,
where he will become manager of the
Gateway.
Late papers say the betting in New
York is three to one that McClellan
will be re-elected mayor and even
money that Jerome will be re-elected
prosecuting attorney. Jerome has
been endorsed by the republicans, and
Is receiving .the support of every big
daily in the city except Hearst's papers,
which support the municipal ownership
candidate, and the Daily News, which
is always for Tammany,
The Portland Oregonian, republican,
says the only way to get tariff reform
is to defeat at the i>olls all candidates
for office who are opposed to the re
form. It commends the bolters in Mas
sachusetts who refuse to support Eben
S. Draper, "the "stacilpat" republican
candidate for lieutenant governor, who
has admitted that he is not in sympathy
with the tariff reform plat'orm upon
which he is running.

The district court is trying out Alas
kan editors as jurors. Charles A.
Hopp, of the Douglas News, was a jury
man last month at Ketchikan: this
month Ed. C. Russell, of the Ju
neau Dispatch, and J. W. Frame, of the
Transcript, are on the jury at Skag
way. The editor of the Daily Alaskan
has been drawn on the jury to serve at
Juneau next month.
Richard A. McCurdy, president of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
has appointed a committee to investi
gate him and his co-officers. That is
rich.
Judge Gunnison and his juries, the
other court'ofticers and members of the
bar have the right of way in Skagway
just now. __________

Post Mortem
e "V e ng e
[Original]
In a handsome city residence n few
people were assembling to listen to
the rending of the will of the recently
deceased owner of the property and a
considerable fortune besides. The
widow and her son, twenty-live years
old, the Issue of a former marriage, en
tered, followed by a girl of nineteen,
the daughter of the testator. Tilt
elder woman was dressed In deepest
mourning. Iler son wore as somber
garments as his mother, his studs and
sleeve buttons even being black. So
deep was the grief of the stepdaughter
that she seemed unconscious of what
she wore. Iler stepmother and step
brother, however, left a seat for her
between them and regarded her from
time to time with tender, sympathetic
glances. A few relatives of the de
ceased followed these principal mourn
ers, the family lawyer bringing up the
rear. When all were seated he un
folded the will and read:
"'I, Henry Arthur Glffnrd, being of
sound mlud and body, declare this to
be my last will and testament. I be
queath all my property, real and per
sonal, to my beloved wife, Elizabeth
Glfford, In perfect confidence that she
will make suitable provision for my
daughter, Anna Louise Glfford.'
"This will." remarked the lawyer,
"was made two years ago. and It does
not appear that any other has been
made since. There are no codicils."
It seemed to tli03c present that If
there was any case wherein a step
mother should be thus honored with
confidence It was this. The girl sat
mute. Indeed she seemed to be
so overcome with grief that she had
no thought for the management of her
Interests. She allowed herself to be
kissed by her stepbrother and his
mother. Then the three were about
to rise to go out when they heard a
voice from behind, at which the widow
started. In It she recognized her hus
band's bosom friend.
"I have to offer a later will."
The brief anuuuucement had a with
ering effect upon the widow. She
caught tit the arm of the chair, from
which she had partly risen, and stared
at the opeuker.
"There Is no later will," she said.
"If you have oue. It is a forgery."
The man advanced and handed a pit
per he carried lu his hand to the law
yer, who took It, scrutinized It and,
after a careful examination of the Big
nature, said:
'This Instrument Is properly drawn,
bearing date ouly u few days before
the testator's death. I am well ac
quainted with his signature at: '. con
aider It genuine."
"Head it!" gasped the widow.
"I will road it," said the uma who
had offered It, and he proceeded to do
so. After the usual preliminaries the
document continued:
"At the death of my late beloved
flrst wife I married, for companion
ship nnd for a mother for my little
daughter, a woman who from the da.*
of the ceremony brut her IndomltnbV
will to the work of (retting my prop
erty for herself and her son. She pos
sessed the ability to control both my
self and my daughter. To the worW
we were a singularly united family
In our home my child aud I llveu as If
under the spell of witchcraft. My
wife brought me , to the verge of
nervous prostration, then demanded
that I should make a will at her dic
tation. I refused, whereupon shfc
brought me to the verge of lunacy, and
I yielded. I made the will she wished
that I might escape her persecutions
and having In view this revenge. I
am aware that my action stamps me
for a weak man, but I aiu convinced
that no mau can stand against the
cruelty of a woman whom he canuoi
get rid of."
Then followftl a bequest of the bulk
jf ills property to his daughter, a few
small legacies being left to other rela
tlves. In this connection the widow
and her sou were not mentioned. The
document concluded as follows: "I di
rect that my daughter shall from the
opening of this will be um'.cr the care
of my lifelong friend, Robert Rivurd,
who is hereby appointed her guardian
and who has promised to make her t
member of his family."
During the reacting the expression on
the face of Mrs. Gifford was that of a
disappointed fury. She had lived siuco
the flrst will was made in the fear
that her husbnnd might make another
but had been confident that the watch
she had set upon him was effectlvA
At the conclusion of the reading she
arose and walked out of the room
without a word, her son following
The heiress moved not till the door had
closed behind them. Then with a pe
culiar cry? a cry in which there was a
relief from the torture of years? she
arose and threw herself Into the arms
of her guardian. After resting there
a few moments she turned to others
who were present and received a show
er of heartfelt congratulations.
While Anna Gifford never t!*orougn
ly recovered from the loss of her fa
ther, with whom she had suffered so
many years of torture, she did recover
from tho persecution of some seven
teen years. No one ever dared blame
her father In her presence for not hav
ing protected her from her stepmoth
er. This she always stoutly main
tained was impossible, since lie could
not even protect himself, nor did she
condemn him for taking his revenge,
screened behind the grave. She had
lived under the same spell as he.
Anna Gifford married and became
the mother of children. She did not
exact a promise from her husband that
if she died before him he would not
marry, but she made a will leaving
her property as she wished It to be dl?
tributed. ALICE CHF.EVER.
