The piv*«i ient is liable to strain his

society. When drover Cleveland was j

undertook the role of dictator with the

Theodore lloosevelt can profit by tliut

Five car loads of stringers came
on the Northwestern, and two'

N > SMALLPOX AT CORDOVA
Quarantine Established to Keep Labor -
ers front Getting Away.
t'on. >va passengers on the North- :
w st rn con firm previous reports that
tiemv ver was any small pox at that
place. The qt irantine was establish-!
ed merely to prevent laborers from;
i seaping on the steamers. The rail- j
road company was anxious to get a •
certain amount of work done before!
closing down. 'Phis has been done,
tiie quarantine raised and the laborers
discharged. Tim Valdez News says:
•it has been asserted since, on what
may be considered good authority, that j
the siu; ilpox story was a fake and that
ti.r rail rend people there got up the
scare with thoobject in view of pre-1
venting the workmen from leaving
their job for a better one which was
offered at Seward.“

Pennsylvania Brings 250 Tons of Steel
and 28,000 Feet of Timber
The steamer Pennsylvania, which
arrived yesterday afternoon from Seat-!
tie. brought 535 tons of cargo to
Seward, mostly for the railroad, in
cluding 28,000 feet of bridge timber and
250 tons of steel. She will sail for Se
attle late this afternoon.
The Pennsylvania is a big vessel for j
these waters. Her gross tonnage is!
3543, only 153 tons less than the North-1
western. Her net tonnage is 2567, 233 j
tons more than that of the latter. She j
w as built at Philadelphia in 1873 and;
was used in the Spanish war by the
government as a transport between
San Francisco and the Philippines.
This is her lirst visit to Seward.
One Man’s Honument
One of the most public-spirited citi
zen.^ Juneau ever had was the late
Stillman Lewis. According to the
Transcript all that marks his grave is
a wooden slab upon which some satir-!
ist has written the following tribute:
“This is the grave of Stillman Lewis,
the man who built the Juneau water
works. This monument is erected by
his grateful nephew, R. F. Lewis, who
succeeded to his uncle’s wealth.”
P. F. Vian, the fur buyer of Kenai,
came to Seward on the Jeanie and may
remain s , veral weeks.
