JUNEAU DEMOCRATS
OPPOSE WICKERSHAM
At a meeting of the Demo
cratic Club of Juneau recently
the question of whether the
Democrats of Alaska should
support Delegate James Wicker
sham for re-election caused a
hot debate.
J. B. Marshall said the. time
had come to find out whether
Delegate Wickersham was to
take over the Democratic club,
or whether the Democratic
club meant to place any value
upon the standing of men as
representative Democrats. He
moved that it was the sense
that the Juneau club not en
dorse anyone for delegate other
than a true and tried Demo
crat.
Attorney Cobb thought the
motion premature. He said
while in Washington he had
heard some things which open
ed his eyes to the importance
of Wickersham; that the ad
ministration felt kindly to
wards the delegate; that it was
the wish of the administration,
expressed by Burleson that
Wickersham should be return
ed as delegate from Alaskka;
that in all probability
Wickersham would be el
ected anyway whether the,
Democratic club endorsed
him or not; that the delegate
would get a $50,000 appro
priation for tthe Juneau fed
eral buildings if let alone; that
he had been largely instru
mental in getting through the
railway bill, and other admin
istration measures; that the ex
pression of the Tanana Demo
cratic club against his candi
dacy represented a majority of
it- 150 members which was a
small part of the Tanana’s pop
ulation.
Central Committeeman Chen
ey made a spirited reply, con
tending that he would rather
vote for a good Democrate and
see him go down to defeat
than vote for a “man without a
country or party.” He said
he had been in Washington al
sj and had talked with cabin
et members and found that the
influence of Wickersham was
practically nil with the admin
istration; just the reverse, in
fact, from what Mr. Cobb had
-tated, that he did not wish to
detract from the credit due
Mr. Wickersham for working
for Alaska measures, but that
it was nonsense to claim that
the delegate was solely re
sponsible for getting through
all the Alaska legislation pass
ed by the administration. He
thought a Democratic party
which had to shape its sails
to catch favoring breezes not
worthy of the name. *
He was sustained by Attorney
Hellenthal and others and the
club unanimously voted in fav
or of the Marshall motion.

LIGHT AND FLOWERS. ,
Why a Garden Is More Fragrant by
Night Than by Day.
Tile light we receive from still’s of
the first magnitude, like Vega, is equal
approximately to a forty thousand-mll
Uonth part of that of the suu. It Is cal
culated that the total light received
from the leaser stars Is equal to that of
3,000 Btai-s of the first magnitude, or a
sixth part of that which Is sent to us
from the moon.
Light exercises a mechanical pressure
which can he measured in the labora
tory. It bgs been shown by experi
ments with artificial light (hat in its
production enormous quantities of en
ergy are dissipated.
In an ordinary wax candle the total
energy which is transformed into light
la really but 2 per cent. Ons and kero
sene lamps are not more economical.
On the other baud, the glow worm
transforms Into light, by means yet un
known, 00 per cent of the total energy
expended.
It Is known that light influences very
largely the aroma of flowers. A garden
is more fragrant when it Is shaded
than when the sun is allowed to shine
In full blaze upon it. This, at any rate,
Is the conclusion of a Frenchman who
has recently made n vast number of ex
periments. That which affects the fra
grance of flowers is not the oxygen of
the atmosphere, ns has been commonly
supposed, but the light.
According to the same authority, the
Intensity of the perfume exhaled by a
flower depends upon the pressure of
water in the cells of the plant, which
tends to throw out the essential oils
that produce the odor, and the action
of the solar light diminishes the pres
sure of the water.—New York Press.
HER OLD CAKE RECIPE.
It Has Never Failed, It Is Claimed, to
Give Satisfaction.
Sarah Know I ton Is a woman who has
made cakes all her life and always has
used the same recipe, wedding cakes,
special cokes, holiday cakes, party
cakes and everyday cakes, simply be
cause the cake which she made for her
own wedding In IStVJ was so delicious
that all the guests wanted one like it.
and this desire has been passed on to
their children nud friends. She keeps
many cakes on hand, so that her cus
tomers may have their cake a day. a
week or a month old. ns they like
Each cake weighs about one and n
half pounds and is lubelcd with the
date of Its baking. They are kept in
stone jars wrapped in waxed paper
Here is the recipe:
One cupful each of sugar, butte? and
molasses: one cupful homemade jelly
or strawberry preserves, one cupful
buttermilk, half a cupful strong cof
fee. two eggs, one grated nutmeg, two
teaspoonfuls cinnamon, one teaspoon
ful cloves, two teaspoonfuls salcratus
(dissolved In half a cupful boiling wa
ter). two pounds raisins, one pound
cleaned currants, one pound chopped
candied fruit (lemon, orange, citron),
six cupfuls flour measured before sift
ing.
Mix the fruit thoroughly in the flour.
Cream butter and sugar, add the eggs,
milk and coffee, then the flour contain

add the spices.
Turn Into well buttered pans and
bake at least one hour in a slow oven.

Japan’s Troublesome Volcano.
Sakurajima is one of the volcanoes
created, according to the old Japanese
ctlendar. in a single night. A specific
date—718 A. D. —has even been assign
ed for the event, but it is quite evi
dent from its appearance that the cone
is really a very ancient one. Sakura
Jima's form Is rugged and weather
beaten. Time has furrowed its sides,
and the forces of denudation have per
ceptibly increased the steepness of the
upper part of the cone by the removal
of all the lighter ejected materials.
This circumstance has given rise to the
legend that the northern peak of the
Island—separated from the rest of the
summit ridge by a slight depression
Is Inaccessible. As a matter of fact. It
presents no serious diflieulty.—London
Graphic.
Darby and Joan.
The meaning of Darby and Joan is
one of connubial faithfulness and love,
as exemplified by Darby and Joan—
husband and wife—in an eighteenth
century ballad, appearing in the Gen
tleman's Magazine. March, 173"). en
titled “The Joys of Love Never For
got: a Song." Author Henry Woodfall
had been apprenticed to John Darby of
Bartholomew Close. England; and his
employer aud wife formed the hero
and heroine of the song.
