In reporting th$ work of the
Meual Contest department, Mrs.
A, E. Carman, National supeiinttnd
eut, told of tihe gratifying r*Balt§ ene
had received in letiers written to
state superintendents of public in"
struction, asking tha^ they lecom
mend to the teachers under their
supervision the holding of contests?
also that contests be bel(ji at teach
ers' institutes; and be included in
th^ regular school work, with cred
its in public speaking an<J language
courses. "The superintendent of
public instruction for Maine," said
Mrs. Carman, "wrote that he had
once keen a contestant, and pledg ed
himself to do all h,e could to make
th0 plan a success." several oth
ers reolied that they had participat
ed in contests and recognize their
value. All but two of the twenty-'
three states responding declared
they were ready; to put the idea in
to action at th>e beginning of the
new year, and asked for plans, pro
grams, and literatuie. — Evanston,

"Wet and slushy weather on the
evening of November 29, the date
set for the Skagway (Alaska) W. C.

pants," writes Mrs. U A. Harrison,
treasurer of the Skagway w. C. T.
U. "The Presbyterian churoh, in
which the meeting was held, was
packed and the audience missed no
opportunity of showing throught
hearty applause its evident appiov
al of everything that was said and
done, Our goal was the raising oi

VISITED NORTH
Juneau l>espaicn; coum nern
storff, the German ambassador to
the United States, made a trip to
Alaska nnd the Yukon jn 1900, ac*
cording to Doctor F. L. Goddard of
Sitka, as well as others. Doctor
Goddard recalls seeing: Bernstorff a
board the steamer Humboldt the
night Joseph JlacDonald made the
assault on the captain at the Tread
well dcck. Also Whitehorso of
ficials recall that a man answering
to Bernstorff's description passed
through as far as Dawson. He was
traveling under an assumed name
and had several traveling compan
ions.
Just what Bernstorff's mission
w»s to the north, is not known, or
why he should make the trip in se
crecy. It is supposed he continued
down the river, returning to Seat
tle via Nome and' the outside pass
age. It is also kno(wn the Hum
boldt that trip made most of the
Southeast Alaska porta at night,
and the weather was so rainy and
stormy it is possible the German
ambassador did not have an op
portunity to gain much information
regarding the mines and canneries.
At the preliminary hearing of
MacDonald for the assault on the
Humooldt captain, certain witnesses
testified that a man speaking brok
en English was shielded behind one
of the sir-funnels with a woman
companion. This man made one
or two sly remarks while Ma*>Don
ald was walking the dock la a
! rage which made MacDonald furious.
Eventually, becoming so mad, he
lost fll control, MacDonaig "bawl
ed" out the two people, particular
ly the woman. They beat a hasty
retreat to their staterooms. The
[ man was Bernstorff.
— *^6CU
Washington regarding the action of
MacDonaid at the does from the
German consulate. This complaint
caused' tb; Department of Justice to
check up, resulting: In the rigorous
prosecution of MacDonald.
It was IJernstorff who made the
complaint, and who wag aboard
the Humboldt with a strange wo
man companion.
