Array THE LADYSMITH CHRONICLE Vol. I. With .Which Is Amalgamated the Ladysmith Standard. Ladysmith, li. C, Saturday, April 10, 1909. W Historical Document Winnipeg, April ?.—Documents ol great historical value, which have lain hidden for almost half a century were discovered when the old St. Boniface cathedral was razed to tho level of the cornerstone at tho front base of the venerable structure. When the last piece of solid masonry had been lifted from the hollowed stone a compact cedar box of small dimensions was disclosed within a foot or two of the ground. It wns in a perfect state oi preservation and contained ln two glass receptacles, carefully sealed with red wax, a com* plete record of the Catholic church ln western Canada prior to 1862, together with several small gold medals representing the emblems of the Obiate order, unucr whose auspices the edifice was erected. The articles which were found were removed to the archbishop's palace and the receptacles betore uelng opened were puutogruphed. The most Important document was found in tne larger ot the two holders, a flat I bottle seven inches in height, and solidly was this scaled that it the vestry was completed and served as a church until the following year when the cathedral was built. The formal consecration of the cathedral did not take place until Sunday, Sept. 18, 1887, because of thc rule that no templo can be dedicated until it is free from all encumbrance. It was the first time that such a ceremony had taken place, in western Canada. Dread fruit Pest. No Two Interesting Football Matches 7 Provincial Fruit Inspector Cun ningham received a batch of exceedingly unwelcome visitors last week. They came from France, and thc family name is euproctis chrysorrho- ea. These are nothing more or less than the caterpillars of the dreaded brown tail moth that is at present causing consternation among fruit growers and nurserymen in Ontario. At present. British Columbia is free ' from tbe pest, and fortunately there is but little danger of its getting in, as every imported tree gets individ ual examination. The batch tound came in a packet of nursery stock from France. These pests not only ruin the fruit and forest trees, but thc hairs from the caterpillar, if they get on a human being, cause Ladysmith is pretty well filled with footballers to-day.

It was ln this holder that twelve small medals were found neat* ly wrapped ln paper inscribed on the outside, and they rested on a layer ol pink cotton batting. In addition to these and evidently in order to ensure the safe delivery of the records to posterity, a carefully written summary of the larger document was enclosed. Full details of these disclosures will also be given out by Archbishop Langevin. When the old cathedral was erectej in 1862 the tomb of Mgr. Provench- er, the first archbishop of western Canada, was opened in the presence of the pnrlshoners, nnd the remains were removed to a vault beneath the altar of the edifice which had Just been taken down. This vault was opened and the remains, along with those of Archbishop Tnche, Lieut.- Oovernor Cauchon and Mgr. Fnrand, were respectfully taken, out and placed in a private npartmont preparatory to Interment beneath the sanctuary of the new cathedral. The work of taking down the old cathedral was commenced last De- comber, and so permanently. was lt constructed of solid masonry and sturdy timber that the contractors are only now concluding their labors* For some ot the work dynamite had to be used.

He was partly educated at Concord, N. H., and Trinity College, Cambridge, afterwards studying for some two years at Karlshruhe and Heidelberg. In 1876 he went to the university ot Rome, where he spent two years In the study ot Sanskrit. In 18(9 he went to India, where lie was editor of the Indian Herald, published in Allahabad.

The Colonist Contradicted The Victoria Colonist of yesterday morning contained a thrilling story, of the domestic relations of Mr. 3teve Decker and his wife, of thi3 city. The story made very Interesting reading, but the essential element of truth seems to be lacking. The story; is to the effect that the police of Victoria received a telegram on Thursday' which read: "Find Steve Decker. Mrs. Decker and baby are . dying. Poison." It was stated that Miss Margaret Ramsay, formerly of the telegram was sent to a friend of Ladysmith public schools, but now Decker's at Victoria, but as the lat- ter's whereabouts wero not known, the wire was banded to thc police, who started out to find him. The story goes on to ted how Decker was finally located and the message shown to him and that he and hia wife bad a quarrel and as be haJ been given a months' leave ot absence from his duties at tbe Ladysmith smelter he went to Victoria. His wife, he stated, bad on previous occasions threatened to take her own life but he did not think tbat she would have attempted it. Decker waited about the police station' last night tor some time awaiting further news of the condition of the woman and baby but no further details were received. Tbe foregoing story is denied by Mr. and Mrs. Decker. The former says he went to Victoria on Thursday morning to consult a physician. While there he was iniormed by a friend that Mrs. Decker had been asking for him by telephone and he was wanted nt homo at once. Just before tbo train lelt Victoria tor Lady«t smith he read the story roterrcd to in the Colonist, but he was in a bus* ry to catch tho train and had no time to go to tho newspaper office and contradict the statements made in that paper.

It Is known definitely that violent poison, supposed to be nrsenlc, caused thc woman's death Out ol the mass ot amazing rumors being wildly circulated the item ol chiet interest Is the utter apathy displayed by the Regina provincial authorities in tho affair which has created more intorcst thnn any crlmf) that ever disturbed th u section.

Failure of the local police to tako hold of the caso ln a sation between Mrs. Kent and the woman who Bent the poison and there seemed to be some understanding between them. Tho only mysterious fentnre of this part ot tbe caso is that Mrs. Kent so readily swallowed the stuff which caused death a lew hours inter. Mrs. Kent's health was excellent, she wns li no condition that would have caused her to employ a quack doctor for any purpose, yet she did receive and take a Dottle ol so-called medicine which resulted in death. It is not thought for a moment that the woman who sent the poison and the buy who delivered It have left town. In fact the departure of a boy and u woman trom Moose Jaw just now would excite suspicion. It is a subject ot open comment that a detective of any particular skill and experience should have lo- . cnted thc boy who was used as a businoBsllkol messenger with no difficulty and then spend the night on thc island.

The Toronto Star points out that until recently the cost ol a great battleship was about 15 ,000,000. The cost of a vessel of the Dreadnaught type is (10,000,000, and it Is said tbat calculations ol naval strength based upon any other estimate than Dreadnaugbts are useleps. Where is this progress to end? Ten years hence the Dreadnaugbts may be relegated to the rear, and the new type may cost $20,000,000 instead of $10,- 000,000. Buch a race means bankruptcy for any but tbe very wealthiest ot nations, and even (or them the draw on the national resources will be appalling. The consolatory feature of the situation is that the competition may cease for lack ot funds.

Novelties for the Easter Table In addition to appetizing delicacies for the Easter table dainty china and table ornaments add materially to the enjoyment of the breakfast, luncheon or dinner. So, also, does a novel souvenir or place-marker please individually each member 'ot the household and its guests, if there be any. Not least among tbe season's pretty trifles are the following: Egg-Shell Dippers. A large half- open egg shell forms the bowl, and a slender stick the handle. Bore a hole in one side ol the shell and slide tbe end of the slender stick through. Fasten this securely in place with hot sealing-wax, botb outside and Inside, at the juncture of the bowl and handle, and in less time than it takes to tell lt the dlppes will be made. If one 1b clever with paints and brushes, each dipper might be appropriately decorated with a flower or a chicken. A loop of green ribbon attached to each handle would, make a pretty hanger for this tjuaint Easter table novelty. Breakfast Souvenirs. A young Iiob- tess who wished ber Easter guests to have a little souvenir of her Easter breakfast evolved thc following clever idea: In the blunt end of each ot eight egg shells, which bad been emptied of their contents and washed Chong Kee v Laundry Washing and Ironing promptly attended to. \ P. 0.

Then eight large carnations of various colors were drawn through the shells, on which had been painted in silver, "Easter ...us." Tbe shells served not only ns dainty receptacles, for ber dainty gifts but also for a most charming table decoration. DEALER IN ALL KINDS OF Meats and Vegetables r.O.DoxM. UPYSMIIM rhone 41 Green and white are the two favorite colors ot the Easter season for decorations, and may be used effectively in this way: Over an Immaculate cloth of white stretch two.pieces of green satin ribbon, letting them crosB each other in the centre of the table. Then from tbe chandelier over the table suspend the centrepiece, instead of placing it in a bowl as usual. Use any number of strands of green satin baby ribbon of various lengths, and to the end of each fasten n spray of Ulllcs-of-thc valley. Thc prettiest possible eflcct is obtained by having the longest strands in the centre and grading the others so that a pyramidal effect may be obtained. Festoons of egg shells draped from the, light over the table to each corner, or as in as many strands as ons) derlres, are unique for Easter dining-room decorations. Blow the contents of the eggs out in the usual way and string the shells on either colored or white baby ribbon, Keeping them about seven inches apart by tying a bow underneath each one large enough to prevent it trom slipping down to tbe next one. The place cards to accompany this tuble decoration may be made of the blown shells with ribbons drawn through | the centres and a small bow tied at each end. Each guest's name should' be written across the centre—in green and gold—in combination with white ribbon. I Little yellow chicks holding tbe place cards ln their bills make an attractive decoration for an' Easter table. The chickens may be bought ready for the purpose or they may be easily fashioned of yellow cotton. Still another way to have them* is to make them of egg shells cut oft at the top with cunning little heads peeping out over the edges. Olue the shells to a small square of green cardboard in order to balance them. The place-cards should be made of yellow cardboard ornamented in water colors ln some pretty flower design. A bowl of daffodils with their long green leaves in the centre ot tbe table would complete a very simple but effective and pretty Easter table. Quite an original Idea for an Easter table was planned by a country girl. She scrubbed the bottom of a barrel snow-white and nailed at intervals around the edge six upright pieces of wood, each five inches in height, leaving an equal space between them. She then made a fence by wrapping white satin ribbon round and round, finishing the top of each upright piece with a bow. This was placed in the centre ol her table and smllnx of her own raising tucked around It nnd nl lowed to trail* on tlie cloth to each of tlie four corners of the table. At the last minute, before the breakfast was served, green leaves were sprinkled into tbe enclosure and ten downy Httle'ckickB added to complete the pretty picture. At each plate a little nest of smilax contained a calico-colored Easter egg.
