CUMBERLAND, B.C., SATURDAY, DEC. 6. 1913 Subscription price, $1.50 per year I.L General Manager of Canadian Collieries it succeeded by J. R. Lockard. W. L, Coulson, who for a number of years has been general manager of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Ltd., has resigned that position in order to obtain rest for his health. Mr. Coulson has been seriously ill for the past year or more. It is only a few months ago he journeyed to New York to consult a specialist, and he has been desirous of being relieved of the many duties incident to his position. However, he was induced to remain with the company until the labour difficulties at the Extension and Comox mines, of which Cumberland ■'s the centre, had been fully (settled and the work of construc- fion, which is on a large scale at he collieries around Cumberland, |.dvanced to practical completion. As the so called holiday, which ommenced on September 16th, 912, is now a thing of the past, ocal mines working with a full omplement of men and the Ex- ension Mines rapidly approach- rig their normal rate of produc- Iion, this has seemed an oppor* une time for Mr.Coulson to take is much needed rest. Mr. J. R. Lockard, who has Ieen general superintendent of ie local mines under Mr. Coul- 1m, has been appointed general 'anager of all the company's lines and properties in Cumber* .rid and Extension districts. Mr. lockard will continue the firm id '.nergetic policies so success- ,M!y followed by Mr. Coulson in I e past. A feeling of satisfaction per- eated the district when it heme known that the general perintendent had been promot- to general manager. He I joys the confidence of his iployees and is held in the high- t esteem and respect by the lole community. (OUTPUT FOR NOVEMBER The output for the local mines • the month of November totals (522 tons, which compares ourably with the same month l-vious to the so-called holiday. STRANGE PROCEDURE. The strike began in Cumberland on September 16th. Five days later a commnnication was addressed to Premier McBride, signed by Messrs. Foster, Pettigrew and Irvine, the second- named being the writer. The letter is quoted in full in the report of Commissioner Price, and while it purports to give the facts of the origin of the trouble, it contains some serious misstatements. It says that upon the posting of the report of tne gas committee " the management of the mines called upon the Chief Inspector of Mines, Mr. Graham, to come to Extension and make an examination of the pluces in which gas had been found. This he did and the report of the gas committee was verified." It has to be remembered that the report of this communication was addressed to the Minister of Mines in whose department the reports both of the gas committee and mines inspectors are filed. As a matter of fact, at that time, Inspector Graham was never called in by the management of the mines. The report of the gas committee was only received at the Mines Department ten days after the examination of the mine was made. It was not sent by the gas committee, but the officers of the Ladysmith local of the United Mine Workers of America. Chief Inspector Graham was away in the upper country at the time, and Inspector Morgan was sent to Exension. He made an examination of the mine on the 27th of June, and he did not verify the report of the gas committee. It was utterly impossible for him to do so, seeing that his examination was made twelve days after their's. His report stated that the places referred to by the gas committee were all 0. K. so far as danger was concerned. Yet with all these fac s in there own possession and knowing also they were likewise in the possession of the mines department, Pettigrew and his brother officers sign their names to such a statement as this, addressed to the Minister of Mines and Premier of the Province. Surely this is strange procedure and curiously inspired leadership.—Nanaimo Herald. COWLER FOUND NOT GUILTY Men Charged With Assault on Constable Taylor Acquitted by-Jury. New Westminster, Dec. 2.— Seven men charged with assaulting Provincial Constable Taylor during the Nanaimo riots were this evening declared not guilty of the charge by a jury. The men were Thomas Cowler, Richard Griffith, William Hoy, James Baird, Tony Rinaldo, John Jackson and Tony Cierello, When the crown counsel Taylor closed the case several of the accused took the stand in their own defence. There evidence was corroborated by several independent witnesses as in the case of the Cumberland intimida- ion trial. Evidence of the prosecution was flatly contradicted by that of the defense. The main witnesses for the Crown were the provincial police and members of the Nanaimo City police force, There was a riot charge against all seven men but they were allowed out on bail pending their trial on that charge. Cowler and Baird who had previously been refused bail also being granted it on this occasion. James Hodgkinson, a merchant of Nanaimo, who had gone to the wharf that day to attend to some freight shipments, corroborated the statements of several of the accused. | LOCAL NEWS.

London, Dec. 2.—Long judgement was delivered today by Lord Haldane of the Privy Council in appeal of the Government of B. C. in respect to fishing rights. The Law Lords decided the fisheries question in favour of the Dominion and declared that fishing in tidal waters is right open to all. Exclusive power of regulation rests with the Dominion parliament and the right to fish in arms and estuaries of the sea is declared to be a public right of the same character as that enjoyed by the public in the open seas.

In connection with a recent strike in Seattle, which was a failure, owing to the fact 'hat it was for recognition of the union and not for betterment of the men for they themselves proclaimed perfect satisfaction with their jobs, we found autocracy spread on as a child spreads butter on bread, says the Pacific Coast Mechanic. A labor agitator, imported to the City of Seattle from down the Pacific Coast, the kind that has as much interest in the laboring man's welfare as a burglar has for a burglar alarm,demonstrated his ability as an oligarchist from the time he arrived in the city until his departure. To cut a long story short—this illustrious autocrat called the workingmen out on strike, men who were satisfied with the money they were making, causing them to lose their positions as well as six weeks' work, inflicting upon them the burden of seeking work elsewhere, while he registered and occupied an expensive suite of rooms at one of our most exclusive hosteleries, the Washington Hotel, and paid the bill from dues collected as strike funds, amounting to $7.80 per day. His Honor C. H. Barker, Judge of the County Court, arrived by as a pho- auto on Wedneseay, and held his | usual monthly session. Mre. H. Parkinson and Mrs. E. V.

James Abrams, S.M., has been re-appointed city police magistrate by His Honour the Lieut.- Governor in Council, at a salary of §300 per annum. Don't forget the concert and dance*' at Bevan on Friday the 12th, All those who are able should make an effort to be there, its for a good cause. There will be a meeting of the Cumberland Ratepayers Association in the Oddfellows Hall on Tuesday evening at 8-30 prompt. J. Maitland Dougall left for his home at Duncans on Saturday last. The annual meeting of the Conservative Association will be held in the Oddfellows Hall next Tuesday evening. All members are earnestly requested to attend this meeting for the election of officers for the ensuing year. The Birthday Social held in the basement of the Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening, for the purpose of raising funds to install a new furnace in the church, was a grand success and the receipts for the evening were very satisfactory.

For further particulars apply E. W. Bickle. The following article from the News Advertiser is a sufficient reply to Mr. Thos. Richardson's complaint of the way in which the strikers in Nanaimo have been treated by the. Provincial Government. Mr. Ritchardson promises to raise the whole question in the British House of Commons. Here is what the News Advertiser has to say; "It may be hoped that Thos. Richardson, M.P., will make good his promise to bring before the British Parliament the statement he has made outside of it about the conduct of the militia at Nanaimo and its neighborhood. Then there will be an opportunity for some person with correct information to show how badly the member for Whitehaven has been informed. His statement that the labour meeting was broken up by the militia is absurdly incorrect, as it is well known that the militia waited calmly and long for the meeting to finish its business. No one has more reason to be thankful that the soldiers were called to Nanaimo than the men whose lawless course was arrested before it had gone farther. No one has more reason than those who committed the outrages of the period to regret that the force did not arrive at Nanaimo a day or two earlier. That would have saved many people a day and a night of terror ard much personal loss and injury It would have protected badly advised and rash men who are ordinarily law abiding, from the commission of offences for which they are now paying the penalty, and from implication or casting suspicion upon others who have paid some penalty though they are acquitted. We do not enter into the question of the guilt or innocence of particular persons, or of the measure of any man's offence. But we say again that it is due to the militia that the unfortunate affair was not worse and that while the soldiers could not well have been sent to the scene of disturbance sooner than they were it would have been well for both union and non-union men if a force strong enough to keep peace had been there when the trouble began." COMMISSIONER PRICE'S REPORT. The total number of men employed at the Cumberland mines prior to the cessation of work was 983, at Extension, 700 at the Western Fuel Company's mines, Nanaimo, 1,494' exclusive of some300 more at their sawmill, farm, etc.; at South Wellington, 350, and Jingle Pot 250, making a total of 3,777 men, exclusive of the 300 engaged at the sawmill and upon the farm of the Western Fuel Company. The great majority of the men have been without employment since the commencement of the trouble at their respective mines. Most of the men employed in these mines are English speaking, largely English and Scotch, or of English and Scotch descent but for some branches of tho work, especially above ground. Oriental labour is employed, the number of Chinese employed in all the coast mines inl912 being given as 622, and Japanese as 117. At the time of the inquiry there were about 800 men working at Cumberland, and 200 at Extension. Some of these are former employees who have gone back, quite a number are new men tha** have been brought or come in, and a large number are Orientals. Out of a total of 690 under ground men employed in this company's mines in May 1913, 432 were Orientals, and among surface men the proportion is probably larger. Quite a number of the former employees of all the mines left the island, either to work or to take a holiday elsewhere, a few have taken up other occupations in the island, but the great majority are still in idleness, waiting the turn of events. An unusually large proportion of the men, especially at Nanaimo, have good homes of their own, and, as a class they are exceedingly well-to-do. Nanaimo is beyond comparison, the finest mining town I have ever been in. (To be continued.) The Alabama Stock Co. will present College Chums, at the Crown Theatre to-night.

Similar thoughts rushed through Murray's head as be strolled towards tho bridge spanning llio river. Perhaps he had waited too long? But ha had been so sure of himself and of Peggy, lie ' ad no: waited without a reason. He stood on the bridge and leant over, watching the waters as they Eang and tumbled on tiler way through tho moorland to the ecu. He had hoped to find her fishing, but the banks on eitl er side wire deserted. The sun was se.'.ing. the countryside was very quiet, birds piped in tlio hedgerow; a llltle brcez.i now and titer stirred the leaves. Hut presently the sotiud of horse's hoofs smote his car. Turning round he saw the woniau who filled his thoughts. Peggy was mounted on a smart bay cob which Murray recognized with a throb of jealous fear—for it came from the stables of Cranby Hr.il! I have had such a ripping ride, sho said, leaning towards him. her face aglow, her eyes shining. I hav, been towards Bordlelgh, though t perhaps I might meet you. I was driving to-day- iu tire opposite direction. A year or* two ago, when he had first hluled of his love for* Peggy they had ridden togethe:; he had a couple of horses then and had heen able to mount her. It was when he reali/.ed what a real and vital lliii.g his love had become, that he had suddenly altered bis mod., of life; given up every luxury, even some necessities. Kept a single sturdy horse and old fashion- knocked off hunting, even an aud tvork- -l like a Trojan to ineera*. y his practice, to save overp penny until be could afford to '.eave jranby and buy a decent living In a decent town. And then—make Peggy Mehon his wife and glvo her some of tho .rood things in iifo for* which he knew she yearned. Dreams!—beautiful and possible. But while ho worked and dreamed it had never entered his head that Peggy might tin of waiting. Man-like, he look the woman lor granted; lie had no rival, for no one had told him that u young girl's thoughts are often a lover's bitterest foe. Are you ,-,-ing to exercise Sir George's horses for him wr.ilo he is away? Murray asked abruptly.

Place of Desolation The abominatlou of desolation ia this lake, declares a traveler who has visited tho island of Trinidad, whenco comes most of our asphalt. In spots, a palm killed by tho ash- piialt droops disconsolately. A few tufts of grass have secured a footing in places. But for the rest it is a solid mass of black, dull, evil- smelling pirch, with pools of water here and there in which swim little parboiled fishes. Against any of the hot spots in tho worid, bar none, this can be backed. A wicked looking black snake* six feet long glides into the bushes near the margin of ihe lake. It. has been sunning itself on tho asphalt. No wonder the serpents tire supposed to be creatures of the devil. As for otirself, 15 minutes stay lakes away every bit of vitality wo can summon- Not enough interest 's left in life to inquire what the negroes hewing with mattocks at the asphalt receive In wages.

Salt Cellar Hoodoo In some parts of tlio world, particularly in Germany, it ls still believed that tho upsetting of the salt cellar is the direct act of Satan—the peace disturber. And tho habit of trying to avert any catastrophe which may happen hy tossing a little ot the salt over the shoulder Is due to tho belief that by so doing one lilts tho invisible Satan In the ej'e, which temporarily at Ieasl, prevents him doing further mischief. 1303 Baltimore.

The announcement made in our columns a fortnight ago to the effect that a subsidiary company to the Cumberland and Union Waterworks Co. Ltd would shortly proceed to install a water system at Courtenay has apparently created a sensation in that hustling little burg and thrown our neighbour "The Review," into a state bordering on panic. Our contemporary, in a vigorous article, urges immediate incorporation of the village as the only effective manner in which its public utilities can be conserved to the town We agree with " The Review " to this extent, as we have always maintained that municipal ownership, insofar as water and light are concerned, is the only proper and logical system. The service rendered to the public and the rates charged to the consumer are under the direct control of the tax-payers and the profits derived are applied in lessening the taxes. But granting all this, we see no reason why the "Review," in its impatience for incorporation, should go out of its way to trans* Kress the rules of courtesy to a neighbouring town and throw an undeserved reproach at an old and respectable company. The "Review" says in parti- There is no question but that a waterworks system would be a good thing for Courtenay but we do not need it badly enough to let the Cumberland Waterworks Company step in and gobble it up when we can just as well own it ourselves, There is no use denying the fact any longer, we must incorporate and we must do it at once or we will find ourselves in the same predicament as Cumberland is today, in the grasp of the same companies and bled to death What will our citizens who have been opposing incorporation think of themselves if they let this octopus get its tentacles fastened upon us. This is in poor taste. Cumberland has no quarrel with the waterworks company and entertains no grudge towards it. On the contrary its stock is well distributed amongst our citizens and i; a pupular investment. We have always had an excellent scivice and have never been "soaked" by excessive and exorbitant rat:s. It is true that the company has latterly paid a fair dividend, but this can hardly be deemed a crime and it must not be forgotten that it was several years before they were able to pay any dividend at all. We hold no brief for the waterworks company; in fact we have already stated that our sympathies are with Courtenay in her efforts to secure municipal ownership for her public utilities. But no good can be done by creating false impressions and misleading the public. The inference that Cumberland is struggling in the hands of a grasping and extortionate monopoly is an injustice to a company-who have always shown a desire to deal fairly and uprightly by its patrons and is, at the same time, a misrepresentation of Cumberland's position which its citizens will resent. FOR MAYOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:- I have the honor to present myself as a candidate for Mayor at the forthcoming election. For seven years I devoted my time and energy serving your interests as an Alderman, and assure you, that should 1 be your choice as Mayor, I will devote my time and energy in a conscientious manner for the advancement and welfare of the Municipality. Yours Sincerely, THOMAS E. BATE Macfarlane Bros. Limited r<H^<H^*M>*f<$><^^*M><M^*#M> The Square Dealing House " 1 Sir Wilfrid Laurier is now protesting himself. This is the latest of the latest of his political vagaries. As a piece of political trickery it may please him, but it does him little credit. In the meantime a Quebec riding is deprived of the parliamentary repre- isntation it is entitled to. The leader of the opposition and his lieutenants have of late been doing a lot of protesting in regard to bye-elections. But in doing so the Liberal chieftian has very conveniently forgotten his own case. For two years Sir Wilfrid Laurier by a technicality which the Liberals themselves created has been holding two seats and has been depriving a riding of its right of representation in parliament. Sir Wilfrid in 1911 ran for two seats. One was Quebec East, which he has represented for a generation, and the Soulanges. He was elected for both. It was well known that he never intended to represent Soulanges; his candidature there was a mere stop-gap in view of party dissensions. By a peculiarity in the election law a member elected for a constituency cannot resign his seat while there is a protest against his return. The Liberals were afraid to open Soulanges and a formal protest was lodged by their own party. This protest has never been pressed, and was never intended to be pressed. But as the Liberals wove afraid to open the riding for fear of defeat, it has given them an opportunity to hang on to the seat. For two years Sir Wilfrid himself has been scandalously holding on to the two seats. . Before the Liberal chieftian talks any more of elections and election protests, he had better take the beam out of his own eye. The result inChateauguay is not surprising.

How Monarehs Sleep One might lmaglna that Shakaa- peare's wcrda: TJneaay Ilea the head that weara a crown," could be taken literally after noting the manner In which soma of our most important sovereigns taka their rest. The Czar ot ItusBla has a small n'.aln bedroom, and reclines upon a bed of soldierly hardness. Japan's ruler, Uie Mikado, evldent- ly considers that what sumclei for Ids subjects Is good enough for their Emperor, and sleops on a rug with bamboo sticks for a pillow. A camp-bed with the plainest accessories Is the Kaiser's choice, and the Sovereigns of Italy and Austria sleep upon small Iron bed-t. It might be supposed that King George's nara*. career would have given him a predilection for the hard, plain mattress. But not so, both he and Queen Mary prefer to sleep ln such quarters as one usually associates with Royalty. King Alfonso also follows ln their wake. IWs This ?

Mrs. Van Tromp made a grimace, bnt accorded no reply to inch atupldi- ty, for sbe certainly considered any girl stupid who would encourage a younger brother of a marquis, even though tbo marquis himself waa In bad health. During tbe passage of the Red sea Mr. Mackrldge continued hla attentions, and Mrs. Van Tromp waa pleased Hint Madeline seemed more disposed to accept tbem. This acceptance could not be construed to mean encouragement, but Mrs. Van Tromp felt moro hopeful, and Mr. Mackrldge took advantage of It to be more attentive. ne gained a point with Mrs. Van Tromp by letting out the fact thnt ha was a captain In n British regiment stationed in India, all the officer's of which were noblemen. He had pro* cured a leave of absence to go home, having been Informed that bis brother, Iho marquis, wns failing rapidly. After receiving this additional Information Mrs. Van Tromp conceived the idea of going ashoro lir Captain Mack- rldsn's company on the ship's arrival at Gibraltar. lie, being a British officer, would doublless be band lu glove wilb the officers of tho garrison and would be able to secure for tbe Van Tromps special privileges. She hinted to Mackrldgo tbnt she would be pleased to have him witb her and her daughter when tbey visited Gibraltar, nnd he accepted tbo Invitation wltb alacrity. But when tbey reached tbo pert the captain wns confined to bis stateroom wilh a severe Indisposition and wns unable to Icare the ship. All went well wilh the trio who were performing ihls little comedy during tho latter part of tbo voyage. Just before leaving the steamer Captain Mackrldge managed to obtain a large bouquet of flowers. Whether he bought them from a bumboat or tbey bad been - iltlvated aboard tbe ship does not matter. Tho Important feature is that he nresented them to Miss Van Trump Tbe gift waa made while the motber and daughter, accompanied by tbo cnplaiu. were ..about to nass down the gangway. The young lady Inhaled tbelr nerfunio and started down for the dock with them lu her left hand, carrying a piece of hand baggngo in her right. On reaching tbe dock sbe suddenly remembered leaving some article In her stateroom. "Please .Ake these," she said to Mackrldge, handing bl-ri the band baggage and hor bouquet, "and keep tbem till I return. I'll be back In a few minutes." Mackrldge took the nrtlclea. a certain whiteness appearing about his mouth and an anxiety tn bis eyes aa be did so. Miss Van Tromp ran np tbe gangway, passing wllh difficulty thoso coming down, and disappeared within the ship. A customs Inspector, wbo was watching for smugglers, noticed a gen* tleman standing wllh a large liour.net ln his band and pondered. Had n lady been currying lt his attention might not have been attracted. Suspicious as all custom house officials are, be thought It odd that a man should be carrying flowers, and possibly lt might be used ns a means of concealing dutiable goods. "I'll look Into tbat, sir, If you please," be said to Mackrldge. The whiteness about tbe latter'a mouth turned to a sickly pallor aa the Inspector took the bouquet from his hands, rulling It apart, several articles wrapped In white tissue paper fell on tho dock. The Inspector picked tbem up,' unwrapped one and a large diamond glistened tn tho sunlight. When Madeline Von Tromp rejoined her mother abe found ber alone. "Where'a Captain Mackrldge?" ahe asked. "Gone under arrest for smuggling." And she recounted the discovery of tbe Jewels. "And all ho wanted ef mc," said Madeline, "waa to carry tho bouquet ashore for htm. I suspected something of th* kind and turned It back Into bis hands en purpose." IN THE WHITE COAT. Makat VaWftoas aad Borne Carious Boetsloas l**y Bar* Mai*.

Th* gentleman visitor, who tout the story, officiated at umpire, clad in hit alghtahirt tnd atandlng at at* bedroom window I Probably the most remarkable decision on record waa in thla wise. The batsman had had a box of matches— evidently not cricket matches—In hit pocket tnd tht ball Ignited the whole contrtptlon.

Probably the most amazing decl- alon ever glren by an umpire, who was really supposed to know something of the game occurred ln a village match tome timo ago. After a alngle run had been scored by .he players, who then mado no attempt to ru i again, ths umpire loudly shouted, "Short run!" The verdict was hailed wllh a perfect tornado of laughter. But tho umpire did not seem to realize that only a aecond or subsequent run could be short. In an up-country match tn Australia, a ball hit the bails aud smashed them, so a piece of wattle, undivided in the middle, was laid across the lop of the stumps. With his next ball lhe bowler sent the middlo stump flying and tumbling twenty yards*. But the wattle, reclining peacefully on Ibe leg and off stumps, was undisturbed.

Among certain tribes those wbo have killed a nun have the right to wear an ostrich feather la their hair. Somaliland was •ne *f the last tracts of Africa to be txplered hy Europeans. Tbe occupation of Aden by the British ln 1S09 proved the starting point In the op, n- ing up of the country, Aden being tire chief port wltb which the .Somali of the opposite coast traded. The Bj it- tab Somaliland rtotectorate extends along the Gulf of .' Ien for about 400 miles, and stretches inland to a breadth varying trom SO to 200 miles. About 50,000 people are settled ln the toast tjwns; the rest are nomads, who are almost constantly giving trouble. Tbe British connection with tha Somali toast datea from the early yeara ef tbe last century, but British authority was not dofinltely established, and In 1854 Richard Burton's expedition was attaeked at Berbers. In 1174 the ambition *f Ismail Pasha, Khedive ot Egypt, ltd him to occupy the posts of Tajura, Berbera and Bulbar, as well as Harrar tn the hinterland, Ten years later, ln consequence •f tbe revolt et tbe Mahdl ln tht Egyptian Soudan the Kbedivlal garrisons were withdrawn. Thereupon, Great Britain, partly to secure the route to the East via the Sues Oanal, occupied Zalla, Berbera and Bulbar, officials being aent from Aden to govern the posts. Treaties guaranteeing British protection were concluded with various Somali tribes, and the houndarlea of the protectorate were defined by agreements with France, Italy, and Abyssinia. In 1899 Mohammed bin Abdullah, popularly known an the Mad Mullah, flrst came upon the scene. He had mad* several pilgrimages to Mecca, where he had attached himself to a sect wblch enjoined strict observance of the tenets ot Islam, and placed an interdict on the use of the leaves of tbe kat plant, much Bought after hy, the coast Arabs and Somali for their stimulating and intoxicating properties. At first the Mullah's Influence was exerted for good, and be kept the tribes over whom be had control at peace. Accredited with the possession of supernatural powers, he gathered around him a strong following. In tho next few years Britain suffered several disastrous reverses and during thi first months of 1910 tbe advanced poets were withdrawn nnd the British administration confined to the coast towns, ln aupport of thla decision lt was urged that lt was no good pursuing people whom It was Impossible to catch, that the Isolated posta In the Interior had not been able to protect the friendly tribes, and that the semi-desert natnro of the country did not justify any attempt at economic developme it. Before the withdrawal arrangements were made for arming and organizing the tribes In the Protectorate ln their own defence. Free Emigration For Widows. By October twenty widows with one child each are required to Ball for New South Wales to take up domestic work, the money for tho journoy being advanced by a practical Imperialist who desires to remain anonymous.

Applicants for free passages must not be more than thl-ty-five years of age. muet produco their husbands' death certificates, and muet, of course, be healthy and of exemplary character. The result of this otter will be that a brighter future will present Itself to many widows who havo hitherto struggl-d against adversity, and lt ls s. eclally Intended to help those who have thereby become brave and more self-reliant.

Harold Spender, In a recent t.on- idon News says: The vivid pen picture of English (private schools given to the House of j Commons by ihe Minister of Education have come as a shock. Doiho- 'boy Hall, it seems, ot III flourishes in !our midst, and tho work of Dickens Inquires to be done over again. j Matthew Arnold pointed this out jwlth all his power a generation ago. I and the siory has been since repeated 1 by many brilliant writers and critics. But the English people aro deaf, and ln hundreds of rases parents prefer to ser.d their children to ihese schools even wben there are tbe very best fr^o publio ecliocltr round lire corner. Had educaliwi seems somehow always to consort with "gentility." But now certain remarkable signs are appearing. Tlie boys from the council schools, profiting by a thorough training ut ilie most Impressionable years, are Invading our ser*on- dury schools aud universities, and compelling the middle classes to look tho facts in tire fact. Tho oilier day ten council school boys appeared as wranglers at Cambridge.! am Informed that In many of the secondary schools of the L.O.O. winners of achol- arablpa often rapidly take the lead af the middle-class children. At the universities tho public schools atill keep an iron hand over thn sports, but la matters of education they are often beaten by boys from tb* grammar schools and the council schools. It Ib clear that a great crisis in education Is approaching. The middle-class parent will have to wake up lt he and his offspring are to avoid defeat In the ttruggle. A national comparison * - reals tha same facts. In secondary education England Ib far behind both Scotland and Wales. The higher education of Scotland, stimulated by the great boon of thn Carnegie Trust, is moving steadily forward both In the schools and ln the universities. The result Is seen by iho fact that tht urhappy English boy, thoiit'i born of a stock certainly not less gifted. It too often beaten by tbe Scots boy ln the competition for all th.' higher offices and posts, loth of learning and business. The attitude of tbe middle class In England ls, Indeed, on* that exceeds onder. They pay the education rate, but In nine eases out of ten they refuse to avail themselves of lt. Tbey actually pay iu order that their children should receive a far worse education than Ibe working classes receive without paying another penny. Exhausted with tbo expense of paying for bad schooling they often find themselves, at the critical moment, unable to start their, children ln life. Thus they lose the one great financial handicap that they have over their working-class competitors. Meanwhile, these parents are too often unnecessarily obsessed with the middle- class habit of Bending their children away from home—a habit produced by tht lack of gcod secondary schools renly distributed throughout tho country. By sent ng their children away they lose control over their lives and they sacrlflco all influence over their characters. And then they are surprised to find that at the age when life ls opening to tbelr children tbey havo lost all parental control, and havo not even obtained any superior educational value. HERE AND HEREAFTER Sin OLIVER LODGE ANNOUNCES CEKTAINIV. OF l.VLMOIt IA1.IT1'. — Celebrated British Scientist After Applying tho Most liigid Tests to Spiritistic Phenomena For Many Vcnrs lias Arrived at tho Conclusion That Their Really Is Ilryond Question.

Science has now lalreu a decided hand In this problem, debated and dc- bateable from the beginning of sentient existence. In a recent statement of tbe famous Englishman, Sir Oliver Lodge, admittedly the best all-round scientist In the world at tbe present time. He is president of the British Association, the most authoritative scientific body on earth, and he has announced that tn his presidential address on September 10, tie will offer complete evidence to show "an ulll- iate continuity of existence before and after death as essential to science," which, if accepted, will he a distinct alignment of tbe most advanced scientific thought on the side of Immortality. Sir Oliver already has asserted that "tho boundary between the two slates—tho known and tbe unknown, llfo and death — Ib wearing thin In places, and excavators are engaged ln boring a tunnel from opposite ends. We aro beginning to hear now and then strokes from the pickaxes of our comrades on the other side." Sir Oliver I.odgo has been a close and skeptical student ot psychical phenomena for many years, and after long and patient observance of the famous Italian psychic, Eusapla Pal- ladlno, vas forced to admit that "any person without Invincible prejudice, who bad the same experiences, would come to tbe same broad conclusion, namely, that things heretofore held impossible do actually occur. . . The result of my experience is lo convince me that certain phenomena considered supernatural do belong lo tbo order of nature." It ls evident that the world Is soon to witness the promulgation of another accession to tho natural laws which govern Its place In the universe, and one likely to arouso spirited religious and Bcientiflo discussion.
