CHURCH WILL BE
RE-ORGANIZED
Miss L. P. Ergenzinger, gradu
ate of the Moody Institute of Chi
cago, for many years a missionary
in the New York slums, and who
is in touch with the Baptist Home
Mission board and Baptist Publican
tion society of Ney York and Phil
adelphia respectively, is here on
her way into the interior, and
through the solicitation of Mrs. Ed
ward I. Wade of this place, has con
sented to remain over for a few
days for the purpose of investigat
ing into the advisability of re-open
ing the Baptist church in Skagway.
Skagway has a Baptist church
building, but services of this relig
ious denomination have not been
held in it far years. At present
the only branch of this church in
Alaska is that which has been main
tained for the past fifteen years by
the Women's American Baptls
Home Mission society at Woods
Island, where is located a
mission and orphanage for
native boys and girls, the latter be
ing for the amelioration of the
condition of the homeless, the help
lf^ss and the diseased.
Miss Ergenzinger was a co-worker
for a long time with Rev. Dr. Lam
son at the Woods Island mission
school, where the native girls are
taught domestic sciences and aca
demic branches, is skilled in
all kinds of native basket
and bead work, and is a recognized
authority on Alaskan Indian cus
toms. Miss Ergenzinger is a sur
vivor of the great Mt. Katmai
(Aleutian Islands) volcanic eruption
of two years ago.
MiBa Ergenzinger addressed the
ladies of Skagway in reference to
the above movement at the home
of Mrs. Robert Shelly at 2:30 this
afternoon, but we have not heard
what decision wes arrived at.
FIRST WHITE CHILD
BORN IX NEBRASKA
Omaha, Neb., June 2—In 1835,
at Bellevue, about twenty mile3
from Omaha, the first white child
born In what Is now the Btatg of
Nebraska, first saw the light of
day. Today this Individual, now
a white-haired man, eighty years
o' age, ig BtiU alive, and he has
recently visited the scene of his
birth, and early childhood.
His name is Dr. Samuel T. Mer
rill, of Rochester, N. Y. And instead
of the crude ww den hutn and log
stockades which kept the unfriendly
Indians from molesting the white
settlers of the little trading com
munity, Di Marrill found on J^is -re
turn to Ojiaha, tall skyscrapers and
a metropolitan city of 150,000 pop
ulation.
Dr. Merrill was the son of a
missionary who- was working among
the Indians at Bellevue, in -what
was then the territory of Nebraska,
in 1835, and as a pale face papoose
he was the object of much interest
among the friendly Indians who
came there to trade.
