Judge Tucker, of Nome, was;
a member of the carnival com
mittee there and resigned be
cause he feared that, as the
committee planed to sell booze
at the carnival, it would be his
duty to help prosecute the
members for violation of the
law in soiling liquor without a
license. Needless to say the
plans for the carnival were ef
fectually quashed, and the min
ers there are seeking legal
opinions as to whether or not
they will be arrested if they
should do any prospecting
work or labor on their claims
on Sunday. District Attorney
Saxton says that he will enforce
the laws as they are written
regardless of conditions and
customs peculiar to living in
Alaska, so it would seem that
the residents of the Second ju
dicial division are in for a taste
of the simple life. Poor old
New England and its famous j
blue laws will be outdone in j
Alaska, which we are prone to!
call America’s last frontieh. Ex.

Fatalities Among Alpinists.
In view of tile fact that every man
or woman who walks up a mountain
with alpenstock in hand is a climber
iu the eyes of the public, it is not at
all strange that the appalling annual
fatalities in the Swiss Alps are laid
at the door of one of the noblest of
sports. The truth is that these fatali
ties—there were 105 last year—are rel
atively few and far between in the
ranks of genuine alpinists, the araa- j
teur and professional mountaineers.
They who climb with ice ax instead of ;
alpenstock are cautious—first, last and j
always. Considering the risk taken,
few of them lose their lives. Most who
meet this frightful death in the Swiss
mountains have always been either un
thinking or downright reckless tempt
ers of fate. With a complete disregard
of common sense, these unfortunates
go where they have no business to go
save in charge of an experienced i
guide, and sometimes the mere rench- j
ing out for a coveted wild flower sends
them to their doom.—Spur.
London's First Bank.
Ranking, seeing that it flourished in
the ancient world—in Greece, at Rome
and at Babylon—must, so far as Eng- ;
land is concerned, be regarded as a
comparatively modern business.
During the so called renaissance
banking reappeared in Italy.
From Italy the business of banking
spread to France, then to Holland, and
it was introduced inti) England by one
Francis Child, who established the
first bank in London in 1003.
Hitherto London merchants had de
posited their cash iu the mint of the
tower of London. But when Charles !
I!, took it into his head to borrow trad- |
ers began to lodge their superfluous |
cash with the goldsmiths in Lombard J
street.
Francis Child was one of these, and .
in a few years Lombard street became
full of banks. The Bank of England
was founded iu 1G!M.—London Globe.

Love Song of a Bird.
"Just before an April dawn." says
W. F. I’ycraft in “The Courtship of
Animals." "the cock capercailzie pro- ,
claims its love fever from a tree in a
strange, unmusical serenade.
"With outstretched neck, drooping
wings and spreading tail be gives i j
forth a weird, uncouth kind of soug.
more or less divisible into three parts. I
He begins with a series of notes which
remind one of nothing so much as the
sound made by two sticks knocked to- )
get her at intervals of ten to fifteen
seconds, getting quicker and quicker
a:..l changing in key till at last they
become bell-like. Then follows a se
ries of sounds like the drawing of a
coi k out of a bottle, and these end
with birdlike twitterings. By this
time, however, the singer has worked
himself up to an ecstasy of fervor so
intense as to deaden him to all that
may be passing in the outer world." A
