Taylor, lormerly of Nelson, with headquarters now at Vancouver, W. A. Macdonald, ol Vancouver, and other prominent oarrfstets were looking after the iu- leresls of clients here. A number of provincial constables from neighboring towns were on dulv at the court. J. II. McMuiien, as legist rat ami clerk of tbe assize court sat at the end ot the long table ami M. A.

True bills were found in the cases ot Rex vs. Lockhart, tor misappropriation ot funds, Rex. vs. Rameara, tor attempting to obtain money by threats and tot breaking iail and Rex vs. Leach, tor forgery. in the case ot Rex vs. Peterson, charged with rape, "no bill" was found. The trial of Leach was Immediately ! proceeded with, lt appears that a cheque signed by G. G. Henderson, I and given to one ol the employes working on tlie construction ot the I Icnderson block last tall had lieen lost by the owner. A Chinaman found it and gave it to Leach, who •iidorscd it and obtained money on it. Ho was tound guilty. The remainder ol thc day was taken up with civil cases. The grand jury inspected the public buildings ol thc city. Tlie grand jury thought that under present circumstances, with so much uncomplete building going on, and conditions following the fire being only partially ameliorated, they would not care to make any presentment or recommendations at thc present time. On Wednesday tbe Rameara case of attempting to extort money hy threats and breaking jail was taken up. The evidence, while almost entirely circumstantial in the matter of blackmail was nevertheless ot such a nature that the jury bad no difficulty in deciding that thc prisoner was guilty. Among other evidence there was produced a piece, ot paper with a torn edge that had lieen found in the possession of the accused and which fitted exactly the piece on whieh the Blackhand letter was written. An expert on chirography compared the writing in the letter with thc prisoner's signature as It appeared on the register ol tbe Roma hotel and pointed out several similarities. Leach was sentenced to seven mouths imprisonment but as his sentence dates from thc time of his incarceration in jail his time has nearly expired. Rameara was given toutteen years hard labor. The Lockhart case was put over till the tall assizes in Nelson. Tlie remainder ot the time ot thc court has heen taken up with civil cases and most of the jurymen trom outside points returned to tbeir homes Wednesday night or Thursday morning. There are several civil cases on the docket hut they were all settled out of court with the exception ot that of the Fort^Stecle Brewing Co., Wm. Mills, which is still going on. ♦ THE CANADIAN HOTEL.

One of the first hotels in Cranhrook was the Canadian hotel, and it was built by Joseph Brault, who is still its owner and manager. The original building was unpretentious in size and modestly furnished, hut thc policy adopted at the start was to give the very liest possible tor the money, and that policy has been the foundation of Mr. Brault's success in Cranbrook. During the succeeding years tlie hotel building has heen added to until now it figures among tlw largest in town and it is lilted and furnished throughout in a manner that reflects credit upon the proprietor and thc establishment. As a result the Canadian hotel fs doing a most prosperous business, its many rooms being filled most of the time, Mr. Brault is recognized as one of the substantial citizens ot Cranbrook and one wlm has evrf heen ready to lend a helping hand In any movement tor tbe advancement of the city. tl.e night of Friday, 18th iust., Id-llluu ami later dav friends of .1.

As is generally will Known, Sir. Harvey nas entered into partnership with s. s.

Tho occasion nf Mr, Harvey's near departure (he will probably have lefl Cranhrook hy llie uiiie this issue will teach the public), was seized upon as a liappj Opportunity to mark, even very ln- tfuvquutcly, lhc public appreciation of Mr. Harvey's services to the district as a public man; his worth as a citizen and his high professional character. What added very considerably to the distinction of the function was tbe verv welcome presence ol Arthur S. Goodeve, M.I'., for the Kootenay district. One would have thought ihal after his labor during the last exacting session of thv house that he would show some signs of tl.e wear and tear of public life. Fat Irom il.

The season lasted four months, and is the most successful on record, 11,000 barrels ot oil worth Kill),OHO kroner (nearly $235,000) having heen secured. Captain Sorlcc, of lhe Samson, who has had sixteen years experience of whaling, described the method ot whale bunting pursued by the vessels. In the bows of the craft is a small cannon from which a harpoon, the head of wliich contains an explosive, is filed. The harpoon embeds itself in lhc flesh, and the explosion follows, Kilting (he whale almost instantly. Sometimes it happens that the charge does not explode, and an cx- ciiing time follows. Captain Sorlee bud an experience of this kind with a huge blur whale. Thc whale was struck iu the side with a harpoon, and then away it dashed. The crew paid oul hundreds of fathoms ot 1-inch tope, which was attached to he harpoon, but so fast did the wlnile swim, towing the Samson in ts wake, that a tremendous how .avc was created, and almost wamped the vessel. Thc captain resorted to the device of working bis iigims three-quarter speed astern, the power being then about ten knots, but all the same the whale towed tbe Samson ahead.

Probably it the first hat in London to torm reason of a police report, as the ollicers who were called had to notify iu their superiors the cause ol the "disturbance," and what was done. The wearer ot the bat, who was herself a widow, intended to do some shopping and drove to Brixton a taxi-cab, but the hat caused the plans to be upset. The wearer, when she alighted from the cab, found the tt ten Hon ot the people around ber i vet ed upon thu hat, with its sweeping ostrich plumes, black and pearl- vvliite, curling along the brim. The umbers ot the hat-gazers grow, and to escape annoyance the wearer took leftige in a shop by Hrixton station nnd explained the position to the proprietor, Hut tire crowd outside still increased and spread to the oadway, interfering with thc passing of the tramway cars and omni- tuses. Six constables asked the jieople to "Pass along, please," but is soon as one crowd went another enme, for the news ot the hat bad spread rapidly. Then a stratagem was tried. It was announced the hut would leave the shop by the back door, and thc people hurried there. At once a hansom-cab was ailed to the front door, When tbe horso had been quietened, the wearer nul the bat edged sideways into the cab ami were driven away. A week or two ago the inhabitants of the town of Ilelston, Cornwall, celebrated the "Furry" festival. In tho early hours of the morning the young fofk went out into the country to collect flowers and green boughs, On their return they danced through the narrow streets to the strains ot the "Furry" dance, an ancient Celtic melody. Later a ballad termed the "llal-and-tow" was chanted, the first four lines of which are as follows: Robin Hood and Little John, They both are gone to fair Ot And we will go to thc merry greenwood To see what they do there O! Then came the ollicial dance through the lown to the accompaniment of the inevitable "Furry" music. Headed by the mayor and bis partner, tlie dancers entered every house festooned with flowers, going in at the front hnd coming out at the back, and vice versa, ringing bells and bunging knockers as they went. According to tradition, the festival is iu celebration of thc victory ot St. -Michael over a licry dragon, which threatened the town wltti destruction. A crude pictorial representation of the saint's deed ot valor forms ihe town arms of Helston. The "German scare" grows apace in England and no sooner is one wild rumor laid at rest than another rises to try tho nerves ot thc English peoplo. A week or two ago there wiis the story of a big German liner, fllltvl with troops, which, it was alii grd, had entered an cast coast har- In ir, surveyed the possibilities ot making a landing and departed without being sighted bv the British warships, with whicfi the North Sea Is supposed to be closely dotted, while some days later Sir .'lohn Barlow, a f ibe nil member ot thc House ot Commons und a well-known merchant, startled the country with tho sensa- tiounl suggestion that tbe Germans have established a depot of arms containing r»n,noo Mauser rifles, in tbe center ot London, together with T't.imii rounds of ammunition for thc use of 00.000 trained German soldiers now employed In various capacities in England. As an evidence that Sir John attaches some importance to this remarkable story, he has notified War Secretary Haldane ot his intention to question him concerning ft in parliament. Pilai Osorio, a baby pianist, who plays Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Mozart at three years old and has already made a musical reputation in Berlin, her native city, made her debut in London a week or two ago. Thr little girl prattles in Spanish and German, thc latter being tbe language of her father, a German doctor at Charlottenburg. Pepito Arriola, the boy pianist, who has been hailed ns a "rc-lncarnatlon ot Mozart," is her half-brother. As a si renal from her mother tbe little girl left, her Teddy bear and toddled to the piano.

"My husband has a disinclination for work," the woman stated, "and I have kept him since 1002. I gave him food and sent it up to his bedroom. If it is not exactly to his liking he sends it down again, with some sarcastic remark. Sometimes lie cleans my windows, hut I have to pay him for doing so. I am a machinist, and once he took some work to the city for mc. A little while later he said, "You have not paid mc for that." As public opinion has not yet been educated up to this standard of home lire, the magistrate told her that if she left her husband she could obtain an order. "Do not pay him any more wages," was the magistrate's parting advice. When Henry Gorman was sentenced at the Liverpool assizes recently to fourteen years' peual servitude for feloniously wounding his wife he created a scene by making a violent effort to get out of tlie dock. He apparently wanted to reach his wife, lo whom he shouted, and it required the combined strength of five wardens to wrench him from the railings of the dock and remove him bo- low to the cells. It appeared that in January last Mrs. Gorman left her husband, but on March 31 he met her and stabbed.her savagely three times in the shoulder. A police constable afterwards withdrew the weapon from the wound. Although her injuries were serious the woman fortunately recovered. An interesting wedding—that of Capt. Herman Richard Aass to Miss Marie Sofia Berner—is related by tbe "Shipping Gazette." Thc bride and groom had not resided on British soil for any specific period, so the Shields tug Balmoral steamed away with them beyond the three-mile limit, and Pastor Hansen, of tbo Danish church, Newcastle, performed ceremony on board thc steamer. 15th: Bear.

'/'hi- visit of the largo partv from the Cent nil States to Hull Kiver, Wardner and Cianbrook, will mean mueh Tor this part of the eountrv. 'liny liked the looks of South Kast Kootenny, Uiey liked the appearance of Ihe lands,' they expressed an appreciation ol the climate ami wlu-n ihey go home they will tell of the wonders am) opportunities of this district. A few years ago the people said thai the "Old Man" was crazy when he persisted in saying tliat the time would come when'the lands id this district would be in demand. The time is already here, hut the demand will increase month hy month. We have spent a good many dollars and given columns in our paper the last few years to educate the people to this fact. Tbey believe it now and tie people on the outside know It. William Hamilton was called a fool lo trv to raise fruit in this country. He said nothing hut kept on sawing wood. lie proved that he could raise fruit here and today haa a ranch that he could sell any time for thousands of dollars. No man can mako money knocking, nor can he lav up any coin refusing to believe when Ihe evidence is indisputable. Cranhrook has reached the stage when she is boosting herself. Marry White, the customs ollicer, remarked to us this week: "The district never looked so himkI nnd on every ham] there Is evidence of |»er- manency." And Mr. White spo;;c the truth. Nelson has raised a fund of $50(1 . mouth for publicity purposes, and iNelsun is not much moro than twice as large as (.'ranbrook. There are men in Cranbrook who owu property and still have not giu-u lue little fee ol Vi to the ooaid oi Trade. Stranger stul: some of these do not laKe llie liau- diook Herald. What uo you llunn of that? The new restrictive law in the .statu ot Washington has gone luio curl and the old Kluc Laws of t uii- ueciiiul aie beaten to a lia/./.lc. A ,11.1a in that stale would lie in datlgct 01 ttie penitentiary it he was caug-ut ftissilig liis wife on Sunday. There have been mine people looking up the prospects in this di.-... the last mouth than during the Us\ Uuee years. It may be the Board of Trade publicity has liolpcd any way. The Herald loves to work [or CranbrooK and Soulh Kusl Kootenay. It i.s always a pleasure to work fur a good thing. Keep on boosting. It cannot do you any harm, dn the contrary il will do you good and a lot of other people. Just tell the truth, thai is enough- With the exception ol (.leorge Gould, the (iuuid lamily do nut seem to be very happy iu their marriages. Due of their divorce eases is now being tried and the evidence is rotten. The announcement that Lieutenant Governor Dunsmuir Intended to re sign soon has brought into prominence the name uf F. C. Wade, K.C, of Vancouver. Mr. Wade seems to ue an ideal man lor the position, as there is nothing tu do hut tu be happy, and that gentleman possesses culture, money and brains, a strung 1 oiiibinatiuii for the job. Keep boosting Cranbrook. It pays you ami iL will pay everybody. Have yuu sent a copy of the Hoard ul Trade pamphlet lo your friends iu lhc east, Kugland and the . *i.... it will pay you tu tlo so. A stranger from the oaHt, who was in lown this week, and who has been acre before, expressed the opinion ihat Craubrook had the finest climate of any place he had ever visited. No doubt that it is the truth. The business of the Herald continues tu increase. We have no complaint to make. A new scheme for holding funerals has been inaugurated iu Lincoln, Nebraska, by a wealthy lamily that recently suffered the luss oi the head of lhc house by death. Instead uf those whu attended the funeral seeing the dead lying in solemn state in a coffin, the deceased was placed in a natural posilion on a sofa, his head propped u]i by pillows and one leg allowed to drop over the side of the sofa with the foot on the floor. It is said that this was done to take away the horror of a coffin being iu sight at the time of the ceremony. After the services every one retired hut the undertaker, aud the body was then placed in the coflin and taken lo the grave. This scheme might even be improved upon. Thc deceased might he placed iu a natural position at a table and the body so arranged as to be apparently reading a book or eating a meal. However, it is hardly probable that there will he any general departure from the old lime custom. Death is death, and it is impossible to eliminate any uf the features of sorrow or seriousness, Hritish Columbia is recognized as the coming province of the Dominion uf Canada. The Herald will venture this prediction: Next year will see more people coming to South Kast Kootenai' than anyone ever dreamed of. They will come with the money and ihey will come with the intention of becoming permanent settlers. That is one uf the features of progress that is going fo make Cranhrook and Suuth Kast Kootenay. Vancouver claims a population of 100,000, flood for Vancouver. The Vancouver Province got out a great paper last Saturday. We have not had Ume to count all of the pages, hut it was a dandy lu every way and a paper that the people uf Vancouver sliould he proud of, There is a man who is largely Interested in fruit lands in the Yakima valley in Washington, He visited Kast Kootenay not long ago and after a thorough investigation stated ihat he was going lo dispose of his holdings iu Washington ami come to ihis ilistret. When asked why, since llie Yakima valley is a great Iruit country, hi- said it was on account of llie greal market that wc had in this country. That is the secret of the whole proposition. Wc have the market right at onr door and it is a market that is constantly improving. That is one of the reasons why so mam- people are now turning toward South Kast Kootenay. Some weeks ago the Herald had an article on the question of local op- lion and took the position at that lime that if the people decided in favor of such a measure the hotels should be recompensed for the loss of iheir property thnt had heen built up ns a legitimate business as it was so recognized by the government. Recently we saw a paper from London. Out., which contained tho following statement from Bishop Williams, lKia:I of the diocese of Huron, and one of the liest known nnd widc- Iv respected members of the clergy iu that province, wldeh fully co incides with tge views expressed hy the Herald: COMPENSATION TO HOTKL- MKN. When men have invested money in good faith in a business whieh is protected by law like any 1 other business, to pass a law which makes the investment all but a total loss is to break faith and practical confiscation. The process is un-llritish to say the least, aud ready unjust. The Hritish wny is the best, and tlie liritish way is for the state to make compensation to private individuals when it suppresses hy law a legitimate trade. Now, as a matter of lact, do you not think that you could do a lot for your district aud town by sending 11 copy of the Herald to friends in the east or the States. They would be pleased to learn more about Uus dislriel and the more they know about it tlte better it will he for them and for you. Subscribe for the Herald. It I good medicine. If the radical legislators ot tlie Slate of Washington keep on it will be unsafe to order from a bill ot tare without a certificate trom a physician. Come to Cranhrook and he happy. » CHURCH COLUMN Interesting services were lichl in (he Uaptlst church lust Sunday when Uuv, Charles W. King, the new pastor, occupied the pulpit.

No matter what a girl's accomplishments may he, her education is incomplete if she has not some knowledge of hake-ology, hoil- ology, roast-ology, slitch-ology ami inend-ology, Even if she should never be required to do the work herself, she ought to know whether ii was done in a proper manner True hospitality does not consist in I lie mere fulfilment of soeial obllga- lions. lt is a far holier, nobler thing than this. It is the cordial heartfelt welcome of a friend to our table and rooftree, without counting lhe cost. The lady of the bouse in furmcr limes was true to her name aa the dispenser of bread. There was always room at her table for an extra guest. The fare was plainer than it is today, hut the welcome was cordial, the hospitality spontaneous. It is an advantage to children to see guests frequently In ibis way. No social training ean lake the place of tbat which a child neeives iu the house ot parents who delight to entertain their friends. Households, like individuals, become eccentric and narrow when kept too closely to their family group. The scriptural injunction is, "Husbands, love your wives," and we'd add, take pains to show it. Don't wail until they are dead to give expression to your love; be Kind and good io them now, while they can uencAt hy your kindness, and while incy so much need it. These women don't want posthumous praise; they want a few kind words while thc burdens of life arc pressing tbem. I hey may sing sometimes, "See That My Grave's Kept Green," but what tlicy are far more interested in is, that the green grass of gratitude ami the bright blossoms of tender affection shall spring up, through .lour influence, in the paths they are Heading, and in the sphere they till in your home. • -♦- ♦♦♦♦♦-♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦< ALL OYER •THE PROVINCE ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Captain Demure succeeds Uom- maiidcr Spain as wreck commissioner under Admiral kiugsuiill.

A little patching here and varnish there, and then representing the article as "just as good," is a common practice very much to be decried. FINK'S FURNITURE HAS A STANDARD.
