London, Juue 20—As a safeguard
against suffragettes, the authori
ties of the British museum are
seriously considering the adoption
of "armored glass" for the case3
containing the more valued and des
tructable exhibits Several thous
and dollars worth of this newly in
vented glass has already been plac
ed in the South Kensington museum,
the national Portrait gallery, and
the Sh.ikespeare museum at Strat
ford-on-Avon. Experiments show it
to be practically unbreakable, the
severest blows with hammers and
hatchets merely "starring" the sur
face. Made by a patented process
it is composed of three layi's, th<
outside ones being of plate itla-s
and the interior oue of sheet cellu
loid. It is perfectly transparent,
has no more refraction than ordin
ary glass, and is only slightly thick

Mr. du Quesuay, Major Loveland I

mediately made arrangements to

Mr. du Quesnay spent the day in

strenuous time as they missed the

east of town (it not being marked)
and followed the course of the
wood chute up to the summit, which
any one can see with half an eye
was somewhat of a climb.
All three of the above gentlemen
left on the Alameda today for the
Westward.
WILL PRESENT
CLEOPATRA
The greatest feature photo play
ever produced "Cleopatra," by tlic
Heleu Gardner players In six reels
with Miss Marie Shepard, the girl
with the golden voice, singing tin
latest song hits, will be run to
night and Tuesday at the Popul .>
Picture Palace.
"Cleopatra" is a wonderful anil
artistic presentation of the story
of Egypt's most beautiful woman .in
queen, which does not purport to
be realistic, but is a romantic ideal
ization of the character o[ "Cleo
patra" and must be considered as
such by the critical. The treatniei *
is designed to attract and interest
through its beauty of thought, pic
torial arrangement and dramatic
nature. The scenic effects are
beautiful, 'ho costumes accurate in
point of detail, and gorgeous, the
acting above reproach. Cleopatra
has crowded houses all over Ameri
ca, and Is conceded to be one of
the most perfect photo plays ever
produced, and is in a class by itself.

P. H. GANTY. GROCER
15c pkg.; 2 for 25c
Yesterday morning at 4 o'clock,
at his residence on Fifteenth and
State streets, passed away from
aarth, lrora an acute attack of
heart failure, Dr, J. P. Bra wand,
one of the prominent figures
in the history of Sk.iRway, and one
whose less will be most keenly
lelt when a realizing sense of his
benefactions to suffering humanity
usurp the place of the poignant sor
row over his demise.
He was a native of Iowa and 52
years old at the time of iais death.
Dr. Brawand had been a sufferer
from attacks of heart failure for
several years which, although mild
in form at first, gradually assumed
an alarming aspect, until in the
early part of last winter he fell on
'.he str et in the dawn of a bitterly
cold day while returning from a
call on a patient, and was saved
from freezing o.ily through hig dis
covery shortly aftor by Perry Hern,
rear whose home lie was stricken.
After a short illness he partially re
covered from that attack, but has
been constantly tailing ever since.
Of late Dr. Brawand appeared to
be filled with a restlessness that
could only bo assuaged by physical
activity and he nut in much of his
time at hard work in ploughing and
planting gardens in different parts
of town when not professionally en
gaged.
Saturday morning he arose early
and worked in the garden at the
home place the greater part of the
day. About ten o'clock that night
lie came down town and performed
an o peril ion upon a patient,, which
occupied his time until about 1
o'clock rUuiuav morning. At 3 o'clock
he went home and immediately went
to bfd, and shortly before 4 o'clock
he called a yoiuia boy, whom he
had adopted, and who slept In th»
: lie wished to get some
tablets he was in the habit of car
rying in one of the pockets of that
garment.
Mrs. McKay, Dr. Bra wand's
housekeeper, who has been with
him for years, hearing him speaking
to the buy, cume to the doer of the
bedroom to learn what was the
matter, and saw the Dr. fitting up
in the bed. When he saw her he
called to lur to' open the door and
lot in some air and to telephone at
once for Dr. Gabie, as lie was
very sick. She did so, and just as
she had finished she heard a gasp
and turn'd to see Dr. Brawaiul sink
ing to lite pillow.
When Dr. Gabie arrived, a few
minutes afterward, Dr. Brawand had
breathed his lasf, all efforts to re*
vive him proving unavailing.
Previous to his arrival in Skagway
17 years ago there is nothing known
of Dr. Brawand, he having been of
:i very reticent disposition with 110
confidants. He was a man who
ntood hi^h in Ula profession, and
while brusque in conversation and
outward appearance, carried within
his breast a heart of virgin gold. No
weather was ever too cold or stormy
for him to face its rigors in response
to the call of distress, and whether
the suffer was of prominence and
wealth or one of the most lowly
and destitute, was apparently a
matter of perfect indifference to
him.
Since coming to Skagway Dr.
Brawand has been prominently iden
tified with civic affairs, having
served as mayor and upon the town
council at different times and also
:is health officer. He has always
been a strong advocate for home
rule in Alaska and was the instiga
tor of a demonstration by the chil
dren of Skagway in front of the
Klks' hall on July 4th, 1908, in
which such mottos as "Alaska
Born," ' Home' Hule" "We Hope to
See the Day We May Make Our
Own Laws," etc., etc., were display
ed. A handsome photograph of this
is now before us, its title being,
'Whq Cant'tW e Play In 'Uncle
Sam's' Yard?"
lie was a member of two frater
nal orders, Skagway lodge No. 431!
If. P. 0. E., of which he was Past
Exalted Ituler, and Skagway Aerie
>'o. 25, F. O. E., of which he was
Past Worthy President, under the
joint auspices of which organizations
Iiis funeral will be conducted to
morrow at Elks' hall, the ritualis
tic services being in charge of the
former.
Dr. Brawand was a charter mem
ber of the Skagway Aerie No. 25,
I*\ O. E., which was instituted June
lltli, 1599, and was the first to
sign the roll.
In 1898 Dr. Brawand built the
Ited Cros3 hospital at Fifteenth and
State streets, where, since that time
he has made his home, although
the hospital has been closed as
such for quite a while.
For several years he had his of
fice in the second story of the
Daily Alaskan building.
Yesterday when the news of his
death was made known the flags on
the Elks' and Eagles' halls were
Placed at half mast, and a feeling
(.f gloom seemed to pervade the
entire community, for the deceased
•lumbered his friends among all
classes and conditions of life.
