Action to be Taken by the Light House Board. | WASHINGTON, March 2.-The lighthouse board recently secured an appropriation trom congress of $100,- 000 for the construction of a large and powerful seagoing tender for the thirteenth lighthouse district, but the money, a# in all provisions of the bill, will not be avatiable un- tl the firet day of next July, | The board, in making a recom- mendation for an appropriation for the new tender, brought forward a number of fa ow the neces sity for the new ship, among them were the following statements: “The large immigration to the Klondike regton, and the immense quantity of tonnage which has pr fously passed through the hazardous waters of the inside n of Southeastern Alagk Peril straits and Wrangel straita, on thelr way to and from Tuailya inlet, the losses of vessels which have occurr- ed for lack of proper buoys in those dangerous waters, where currents and tides are so swift and pow. erful, makes it necessary that add tional buoys should be placed. There are now 6% buoys in Alaskan wa- ters, all and, indeed, more than the one tender of the whole district. the Manzanita, can properly handle in the one trip @ year ia able to make to Alaska. Tefore more new buoys can be placed there, with a Prospect of giving them proper at- tention, @ fit tender should be pro vided for the purpose. Now the buoys are looked after during the early trip of the Manaanita into the waters, With another tender in the service they could be replac oon | after they had been displa: ‘The | immense and growing Klondike trade by the outside and inaide paasages seem to make this impor ative. “The commerce which goes to Rehring sea must pase through the) Aleutian telands by way of Una- Jaska inland.

It is equally neow sary that the practicable mouths of | the Yukon river and the approaches of St, Michael island, the nearest | harbor to the Yukon, should be well | buoyed, and that there buoys should | be property attended. A strong yee golng tender, stationed at some con- tral point of the inside waters of Southeastern Alaska, could attend to the buers in these waters, and could make sulficientiy frequent trips through the Aleutian ietands and to St, Michaol inland to keep the | buoys marking (he outside waters in order.” A.BOON TO FEMININITY.

The news published in the Star Thursday from Philadelphia con- cerning the movement on foot in that clty and in New York to abol- ish high hats in the churches, has caused considerable discussion among the Indies of Beattie and has also stirred up the pastors to ex- press their opinions onthe subject of the high bate, It wil! be seen from the interviews given below that some of the reverend gentlemen are in favor of the introduction of 4 radica! reform in the congrega- tions of this city. Bo far the male members of the congregations have not been heard from, but , their opinions will be awaited with in- terest. Kev, yd Wants Small Ma’ | Rev. J. P. D. Liwyd said: “The high hat is one of the most fascinat- ing ornaments worn by well dressed women and one does not wonder that they hesitate to ciscard it, same dranc behind at a public it should be adjudged entertainment then and treated as a nuisance. The height of some of these three-story affairs is certainly provocative of anger on the part of gentlemen sitting in the rear. It is, therefore, a sign of good sense on the part of American women that they remove these hats at the theater and the opera. “Put in the church it t# different. There are grave reasons to be drawn from Scripture and custom against women removing their hats in the sanctuary. Perhaps the best way would be for women to adopt the simple fashion of wearing to church hate of tower stature than the objectionable high ornaments referred to.” Mev. Gilehriet Favors Bare Heads. Rey, Hugh Gilehrist, pastor of | Westminster church, said: “T think that the move to eliminate the high hat from church, would, with cer- ‘tain limitations, be a good thing in | Seattle, The idea of @ church con- |eregation is that of a family and | in the family cirele we remove the _wraps and the hats and sit down |together, The same spirit should | prevait jn a church. 1 know that | there are some who think that there foes Scriptural reasons against wo- men removing their hats in the sanctuary, but in my opinion these reasons do not apply in this age of |the world. The words of Paul should not be so construed. “Recently one of the ladies in my congregation speaking on the sub- Ject of high hats in church, suggest- ed that the pulpit in our new church should be placed high enough so that those persons sitting behind could see over the hats in front. I suggested ten feet as the altitude, | if she wished to overcome the dam- aged perspective, One Sunday re- cently 1 had just commenced ser- vice when @ lady marched into the room wearing an enormous hat. It had three gigantic feathers. One ‘shot out to the right, another swung away to the left and the third soar- ed upwards, It struck my sense | of the ridiculous.

Gowen: “T do not advocate the new idea of ladies’ re- moving hats when in church. There is no good reason for it. In our church the seats are arranged one above the other so that persone sit- ting behind can look over the heads of those seated in front. Dr. KE. M. Randall: “The hat ques- tion should be settled by the dic- tates of common sense. A woman with a big hat in church can make a nulsance of herself, or she can be | very agreeable with a small hat.” | Rev. A. L. Hutehison: “At my church the seats are so arranged | that little bother is caused by ladies" |hats. A large hat trimmed with plumes often annoys those sitting behind it, and in many cases dis- tracts attention from the services. I doubt if the movement for the re- moval of hats will be universal, but in my opinion a great deal of good would result from it Louls 8 Bowerman: “I would be heartily in favor of a local move- ment for the removal of big hats in church, It is something that must come sooner or later, and the quick- the better, for many reasons which can easily be imagined. anmark to Come In, The next country to demand a slice of China will be Denmark.
