IS LAID TO HIS REST
Rev. Father Sergius Kostrometin
off, the foremost Russiau-Alaskan,
was buried in Sitka Monday under
the altar chapel of the Holy Vir
! gin in St. Michael's cathedral.
The full ritualistic services and
all the honors of the Greeco-Rus
' sian church were conferred upon
the dead priest, who was the
head of the Russian church in Al
aska.
| The entire city was and is in
• mourning, all business was sus
pended upon the arrival of th»
| cornse in Sitka. The schools closed, j
while all people, irrespective of re
lieici', united in doing honor to
.<:tka"s dead.
Deceased was the most potent
'actor in Alaska in promoting the
assimilation of the Russians in
Alaska as American citizens. His
hiirh character, Alaskan bh"th, long
service for the United States and
| unusual mental attainments gave
him wonderful influence among his
fellow countrymen, and he exerted
it all in behalf of the Amoricaniza
tion of the Russian population.
He was a trustee of the Alaska
Pioneers' Home, and always took
a public spirited interest in the
general welfare of Sitka and Alas
ka.

Preliminary to the opening of the
Firet Territorial Convention of the
Women's Christian Temperance Un
ion of Alaska at the Methodist Epis
copal church In Skagv.ay last night,
a band of 30 or 40 Sunday school
children, headed by the president
and the delegates to the convention,
formed at the church and paraded
down Fifth street to State, up
State to Sixth, down Sixth to
Broadway, down Broadway to
Second and back over the same |
route to their place of departure.
The children carried flags and ban
ners appropriately inscribed, sang
temperance songs and under the
promptings of Mrs. Cornelia
Tompleton Hatcher, the president
of the Alaska branch of the W. C.
T. U., made vociferous and enthusi
astic response to pertinent ques
tions which she saw fit at short in
tervals to propound. Shortly after
8 o'clock Mrs. Hatcher called the
tonvention to order at the church,
the building at that time being fill
ed almosc to its capacity with peo
ple of Skagway who are interested
in the great work being carried on
in 59 countries of the world by

Space forbids a detailed account
of each number; suffice it to say
that there was not a dull one in
the entire list. The musical num
bers by pupils of Mrs. Therese E.
Rickard, were all good, especially
the piano solo by Lois McKay and
the piano duet by Vivian Talbot
and Ruth Pedersen. The vocal duet
by Ruth Pedersen and Fred Blanch
ard was excellent and the vocal
solo by Beatrice Olsea was a treat
to listen to.
The Demorest silver medal con
test, in which six young ladies
were entered, was won by Mrs.
Maude Talbot, the unanimous ver
dict being that the prize had beeu
justly awarded.

the largest number of votes says
the Cordova Times. Under the rul
ing of the court a census has to
be taken to determine whether or
not the people where the applica
tion is desired are in favor of the
sale of liquor, which requires a
majority of all the votes cast. The
residents can vote yes, no or no
decision.
At Chitaua, Commissioner O'Con
nor appointed Mrs. J. P. Rockefel
ler and A. 0. Nelson as census tak
ers. A lively interest was manifest
ed in the outcome of the vote,
which resulted in 91 persons being
polled. Forty-two wore for "wet,"
thirty-nine for "dry" and ten had
no opinion.
Tbe "drys" won as 4? to 42,
those non-committal being for them.
Ketchikan, May 10—When Ketchi
knu awakened Sunday moiling it
was to find the whole town placard
ed with attacks on Judge Robert W.
Jennings, of the United States dis
trict court. The tirade against
Judge Jennings was directed at a
decision in which he upheld a de
cision by Commissioner Edward S.
•Stackpole in a probate court case
from which W. W. Rush appealed.
Tiie placard was unsigned, and
accused United States District At
torney James A. Smiser of favoritism
and Judge Jennings of over-riding
the law in suppressing evidence by
refusing to entertain «n appeal.
The placard wound up by saying:
"Thus our courts are living
up to their unsavory reputation
as servants cf the special in
terests whose stool pigeons are
protected, but the common run
are outlawed."
W. W. Rush was placec' in jail
for contempt of court by Judge
Stackpole sometime ago because he
refused to turn over papers and
accounts of an estate cf which he
was executor. He appealed from
the action of the court and was re
leased on his own recognizance.
Judge Jennings dismissed the ap
peal. Hence the placards.
neau, vice-prosideut-at-large, also
gave a recitation, a parody on
"The Spider and the Fly," which
was greatly appreciated by the
audience.
The choruses by the children of
the Sunday school were all render
ed in a pleasing manner.
Todays Seteion
The W. C. T. U. convention op
ened its first business session at
9:30 this morning at the Methodist
church. The roll call showed four
teen voting delegates present, a
very gratifying number considering
the distance to be traveled. The
formal adoption of the constitution
put the organization on a legal
working basis, and business was des
patched with promptness and ef
fectiveness. A symposium in
"What the W. C. T. U. Can Do In
Alaska," brought out many interest
ing reports of work already don*
and furnished ideas and plans for
the future. The election of officers
resulted as follows-.
President, Mrs. Cornelia Temple
ton Hatcher.
Vice President, Mrs. Lula B.
Thompson.
Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Lu
cy Spaeth.
Recording Secretary, Mrs. Mar
garet Georgeson.
Assistant Recording Secretary,
Mrs. Clara Mitchener.
Treasurer, Mrs. Prances Turner
Pedersen.
The reports of the corresponding J
secretary and treasurer Bhowed a
material gain in membership and
financial resources. The announce
ment of gain of seventy members
tince the beginning of the territor-J
lal presidents itinerary in April,
was received with applause.
Features r.* the afternoon meet
ing were the appointment of 17
superintendents to undertake the
work of as many departments, and
a department round table, at which
plans and methods were discussed.
The parliamentary drill scheduled
for 4 o'clock drew a good attendance
of visitors at that hour.
Luncheon was served at the
church to the members of the con
vention and several friends. The
program fo"- this evening is of a
social character and a large attend
ance Is expected.
