HOSTAGES
We are a rough lot, we savage anti untamed Ameri
cans. Oh, yes, indeed, and the Kaiser, prince of Kul
tur. finds it necessary to hold such ot us as he can lay
hands on to keep the rest of us from murdering his ambas
sador of the iron cross and white ribbon; and such of his
subjects as are unfortunate enough to tall into our
dutches.
Yea verily, and did we not thrust into the deep dark
dungeon of the detention station at Seattle, where they
had nothing to do but eat three square meals a day and
read the papers, nearly a score of his Imperial August
highness’ subjects—honorable chaps as, ever scuttled a
ship or tried wholesale arson. And, by jingo, we were
hasty about it too, never stopped to realize that they had
a right to destroy their boss’ property if he wanted it de
stroyed. So we had to turn ’em loose.
Possibly in some future age we may aquire that Kul
tur which enables one to execute nurses in hours tvvixt
midnight and dawn, send torpedoes hurtling into ships
loaded with women and children without warning, drop
bombs from the sky on crowded residence districts, sell
summer hotels in Iteueh villages, burn the eyes out of
those who oppose us with chlorine gas, secrete bombs in
the cargoes of ships to bring about their destruction
when fartherest from land, blow up factories in lands
with which we are not at war and otherwise prove to a
barbaric and bloodthirsty world that to us has been hand
ed the right to guide the destinies of this old globe.
But not yet, thank God, not yet.
UNDER SAIL I
For the first time since American occupation of Al
aska. according to all the information at hand, a sailing
vessel navigated her way into Resurrection bay in mid
winter without aid of motive power, yesterday.
The feat has often been accomplished in the spring
and summer months, with prevailing south winds. It
took the Harold Blekum two tries and nearly 90 days
from the time she first left Seattle on the trip that failed
before site succeeded.
This was a welcome port too, for she had weathered a
gale in which so much of her rigging was carried away
and so many splices and knots tied in the halyards, the
ropes wouldn't run in the blocks and had to be cut aw a}
after she came to anchor, letting the sails down by the
run. , . , ,
But she succeeded and sucess is the thing, so here s to
the Harold Blekum, may she dodge Davy’s locker for
many moons.

"SELDOM
NAMEOFF”
HAS A HOME
Orphan Thrust Aboard
Boat at Western Port
With “Ten Spot”
In the Kodiak Baptist Orphanage
News Letter, arriving from the west
ward on the Admiral Evans, appears
the following well told story of little
“Seldovia Nameoff,” now an inmate
of the institution on Wood Island,
near Kodiak:
When the steamer Admiral Evans
arrived in Sept, we were informed
that there was a child on board for
the orphanage. It proved to be a lit
tle girl about four years old. She
was in the care of the stewardess.
And the following is all that could be
learned about the child.
Just as the boat was leaving the
, dock at Seldovia a man rushed up
1 with the child in his arms and hand
ed her over the rail to one of the pas
sengers saying, “she is an orphan for
the mission at Wood Island.” With
the child he handed $10 to pay her
passage. The man who recived her
happened to be U. S. Deputy Marshal
Brenneman. He turned the little one
! over to the stewardess, who, with the
: assistance of one of the lady pas
sengers, cared for her till the steam
er arrived at Kodiak when she wan
handed over to Supt. Learn.
It was expected, of course, that
there would be a letter concerning
her, but in this we were disappointed.
Although the child can talk, no ques
tioning, no matter how skillful, has
been successful in getting her to tell
her name.
For six weeks or more we called her
“baby,” but as she is older and larg
er than Katherine, whom she calls
“That one” it seemed so inappropriate
to call her baby that we named her
Seldovia Nameoff, which sounds suf
ficiently native to go with her little
round, brown face.
When told her new name she was
very proud and happy. She would go
to the other girls and in her sweet
little voice say “Seldovia Nameoff
me,” pointing proudly to herself.
She is a plump little lass with
black hair, d» rk skin and drak brown
and rather small eyes.
Since her first day at the orphan
age, when she asked a few times
“where mama?” there has been no
question or any reference in her chat
ter to her past life. It seems as
much of a blank to her as it is to us.
She is very happy and contented in
her new home. And is daily adding
weight to her already heavy little
body.
Perhaps some day we will learn
something of her history before she
came to the orphanage.

ROYAL SCANDAL
WENT DOWN, OVER
WHERE KINGS RULE
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Friday,
Feb. 9.—The love affair of Princess
Louise of Belgium and her former
riding master, Count von Mat^ssich.
a Hungarian subject and first lieuten
ant in the Austro-Hungarian cavalry,
had an interesting aftermath recently
when the Count was ordered to leave
Budapest for “political reasons,” but
he has been permitted to remain in
the capital under surveillance.
Back of the action lies the continu
ed endeavor of the family of the
Princess to separate her from Matas
sich, who eloped with her when she
was the wife of Prince Philip of Saxe
Coburg, in 1896.
Some time ago the family suggest
ed that the Princess place herself vol
untarily under guardianship, but the
Princess has not yet consented to this.
She was not permitted to live in eith
er Vienna or Budapest but finally ob
tained permission to reside in Munich,
where she now is.
Princess I/>uise is the oldest
daughter of the late King Leopold of
Belgium. In 1875 she married Prince
Philip of Saxe-Coburg, who was four
teen years her senior, when she was
17. She was 35 when she met Count
Matassich, who was employed as her
riding master, and soon their rela
tions berime the scandal of Europe.
