THB ANNUAL FAIR
.As will bo seen in today's Daily
Alaskan a call has been issued for
11 meeting of the Skagway JHorticul
tuial society at the towu hall on
next Monday night at 8 o'clock, for .
the purpose if electing officers
and arranging for the annual ex
position early in September.
The 1V15 exposition jvill be the
foutth belli by the Skagway Horti-I
culture! society and should be fully !
uj; to former occasions on yhich i
were exuibited all tliat was best!
In beauty, sue and quality of the ;
horticultural, agricultural and flori-j
cultural productions of the Skagway I
valley and the country tributary,
aud adjacent thereto.
It is a local affair in which the
exhibitors as well .is non-exhibitors
o£ the town take an euual pride and
to which tbey contribute willingly
and with pleasure. On tUe tUree
former occasions on which this au
nu.il evrnt was held the exposition
bail was visited by many people
from the outside who were tempor-!
arilv stopping here, aud the ex
hibits were apparently an astonish
ing revelation to them of what the
.joil in this northern latitude is
capable of producing.
In makit;g arrangements for the
exposition this year it will be
ueeessary to take iuto considera
tion a factor that has never be
fore tittered into our calculations,
an I is now being talked up for the
first time, viz.; the "Juneau ^lid
sumuitr Carnival aud Exposition,"
to be held iu the capitol city, if
the plans of the promoteis work
out, from Sept. 4th to 13th inclu
sive.
Last yeai the Skagway Horticul
tural exposition was held on the
12th of September aud presumably
the dat<- selected this year will be
somewhere near that time. Ex
hioitois will likely want to have
displays iu each, and it will be
v» eil, we believe, to arrauge things
if possibly so that dates will not
conflict—cither the one a fgw days
earlier or the other a few days
later, It matters not much which.
This matter will doubtless be
thrashed out tomorrow night at
ths meeting of the Skagway Com
mercial club, at which time, it is
understcod, the co-operation of
that body will be asked in promot
ing the success of the proposed
carnival ct Juneau.
BRYAN'S MESSAGE
Tac ma, iWasU) News: Per
haps the least friendly sentence
that can^be written of Col. Bryan
is that he is an offset to Col.
Roosevelt. While the colouel from
Oyster Bay goes drum beating
through the crowded places, the
UN HAPPINESS DISPELLED.
Men and Women Unanimous About It.
Many women weep and wail and refuse
to be comforted because their once mag
nificent tresses have become thin and
faded. Many men Incline to profanity
because the flies bite through the thin
thatch on their craniums. It will be good
news to the miserable of both sexes, to
learn that TCewbro's Horplcide has been
placed upon the market. This is the new
scalp germicide and antiseptic that acts
by destroying the germ or microbe that
!s the underlying cause of all hair de
traction. Herpicide is a new prepara
tion. made after a new formula on an
entirely new principle. Anyone who has
tried it will testify as to Its worth. Try
It yourself and be convinced. Sold by
iesdinsr drugcists. Send 10c. in stamps
for sample t'o The Herpicide Co., De- I
trolt. Mich.

colonel from Lincoln, dove ou shoul
der, olive branch extended, careens
yon and V "her with his message of
peace Aud it is good to hear,
though it lacks the barbaric thrill
and the glitter of things primordial
with which tho contrary colonel en
gages us.
Bryan's message is a spiritual
inspiration. The twang of re
sounding brass is absent. The re
verberations of artillery firing in
the hills and the pungency of vol
atilized saltpeter are not with him.
He is a seeker after peace for tho
sake of humanity; ho is endeavor
ing to prevent precisely what a
dozen gr«it nations of the world
are now praying God Almighty to
end. His appeal is timely; for there
are signs that, in our effort to
train ourselves purely for defense,
we shall be driven into tho accept
ance of an enormous armament,
with whatever that may mean. r>ut
wo mnst prepare for self defense
only.
His coming to Tacoma rearouses
thu argument whether his resigna
tion from the cabinet was tho act
of a poltroon wlio would desert in
peril's hour, or whether it was the
act of a great man determined to
avoid the intellectual aud moral
prostitution involved in subscribing
to that which his judgment for
bade. There is no settling of that
question. Poiuts of view are as
perverse as perversity itself. Pre
judices for and against Bryan, con
st; uitej from the deepest of foun
dations in these lust 20 years, were
only sunk further by his resignation
This newspaper said at the time of
his resignation that it was the
course of a brave man; there is no
reason yet to change that view
Time may tell whether it jvas the
act of a discreet man; perhaps the
balance, from tbat standpoint, is
scmewhat against the great Nebras
ka!:, for the reason tliat time al
ready hits shown that some of his
earlier political acts were set in
the s.iud, not upon the everlasting
rocks.
That he made a deep impression
upon the great audience that gath
ered in the great Stadium on a
calm summer Sunday evening, air,
sk", water, green trees, all whisper
ing peace, is at least a fact which
his bitterest enemies cannot deny.
How Many Years
if you want to know how many more
years you arc likely to live—according
to the law of average, that is—study
thi> following formula: Take tho figure
SO. Deduct your present age. Two
thirds of the result will eijual the num
ber of years you hare to look for
ward to.
I.et us suppose, for example, that yon
are 20. Take iroiu SO and you have
54. Two-thirds 54 equals 30, which
Is the answer.
Of course t!iU formula Is only ap
proximate. It makes no allowance for
people who an- already over SO—and a
man of SO has still five years to his
credit—-nor does It differentiate be
tween the sexes, but hi comparing its
results with the actual figures which
have been worked out by statisticians
\t is very near the mark in all the ages
between 10 and 70. though the ladles
may take an additional couple of years,
their expectation of life averaging two
years more than that of men.—London

Rainbow Trout.
The rainbow trout is bluish above,
silvery or golden below, more or less
spotted with black on the body and
1 tins and with an orange or red lateral
i band. It is doubtless for this varicolor
I Ing that it receives its name. It is
more hardy than the English trout and
accommodates Itself to almost stag
nant waters and has thus proved a suc
cess in many ponds which were regard
ed as flt for coarse fish only. In many
places, however, It has caused disap
pointment by going down to the sea
and never returning. — Philadelphia
Press.
Meaning of Cemetery.
It Is not correct to say that "ceme
tery" moans the "city of the dead."
The -word Is from the Greek "kolrne
terion," meaning sleeping place, not
the place of the dead. There Is noth
ing In the etymology of the word to
warrant us In thinking that It was
originally Intended to convey the Idea
that the departed were really dead any
more than there Is In the old Hebrew
term for cemetery, "bethalm," the
house of the living.—Exchange.
A Chariot of 1711.
Something over a couple of centuries
ngo the principle of the taxlcab was
known. An advertisement la the Lon
don Dally Couraut of Jan. 13, 1711,
announces that at the sign of the
Seven Stars, under the piazza of Cov
cnt Garden, a chariot was on view
that would travel without horses and
| measure the miles as it goes. It was
capable of turning and reversing and
could go uphill as easily as on level
ground.
Flags at Half Matt.
In speaking of flags the term "half
mast" is sometimes heard, and at oth
rr times the term "half staff" Is used,
yet the explanation Is simple. It Is
that a flag is properly said to be at
half staff ashore and at half mast on
shipboard, and rightly the terms are
never Interchangeable.—New Xork Sun.

pleased to learn tljat there Is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all Its stages, and that Is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catnrrh Cure Is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis

building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
