W. R. Hearst, who owns three
daily papers in New York, two in
Chicago and one each in 'Frisco,
Los Angeles, arid cultured Boston,
with his wife and friends is registered at the Strathcona. His visit
is one,purely of rest aud recreation,
and he has no intention of starting
a paperin NcIbou, New Denver, or
any other part of B.C. For years
he has had a desire to visit this
province having often hea:d his
father speak- of the grand scenery
along the Arrow lakes and other
parts of the country.. He is delighted with the climate and says
it reminds him.so much of Califoj-
nia, and will spend many days in
and, around Nelson testing the
ozone and occasionally 'dropping a
line to the fishes of Kootenay river.
He is glad to get away from the
fierce war of U.S. politics, and

career in building up the New York
Journal wss a Lio Yang from the
Jap side. He fought the Associated
PreBS and nearly everything else,
but his brains land the colored ink
won the fight and today he would
not trade anyone of his papers for
Nelson's leading excitement. Dana
made one paper. , So did Bennett,
Greeley, Watterson and others, but

of the greatest papers in the United

The Hearsts come from the
Southern States although away in
the distance there is some Scotch in
the family. Mr. Hearct is a fine
.specimen of physical manhood. He
is over 0-feet high, 41 years on
earth, aud says that he does not always work 18 hours a day. Undir
his white hat beams a face full of
strength and kindness while a
smooth shaven chin gives him an
immense advantage in the water-
melon season. We have chained
up the bulldog, and the Napoleon
of the American newspaper world
will be perfectly safe if he should
drop in to get a few cheques cashed.
Hearst is a genius in tho art of
making a newspaper pay, and one
of the most remarka'ilo men of the
age.   His father made a vast fortune in British Columbia and the
west so that Billy had a college
education and plenty of pocket
money,   The senator gave his son
the 'Frisco Examiner as a start in
life and he went at it.   About nine
men in a million would have sue*
ceeded as Hearst has.   In spite of
the fact that he had millions behind
him he made the Examiner pay on
its merits as a dispenser of highly
seasoned mental pabulum, and always works like a country editor
chased by a sheriff,   In fact if
more country editors worked  as
hard as Hearst there would  be
fewer failures in the business   He
is full of enthusiasm and loves the
profession for more than the mere
money that there is in it.  lie does
not need any more money, for he
already has enough to keep him

New York, N. Y. Sept, 4.—
Fourteen persons killed and nearly a score were injured in a five
story double tenement in Attorney
St. an early, hour this morning. It
was one of the worst fires in the
loss of human lives that has occurred on the east side for several
years, although tbe property loss
was slight.
The fire occured about three
o'clock in tbe morning and there
was considerable delay in the sending iu the alarm. The dead include four women, one man and
nine children, raging in age from
three months to twelve years.
Many of tbe injured were taken to
the hospitals, and it is thought
that some of these will die.
.Among the injured are four
firemen, who were ou the balcony
when it fell. Tbe small number
of men among the killed and injured waB due to the fact that most
men who lived in the building followed Jhe_.custom_oiJhe._jtreejB___m__
the hot weather and were asleep
on the roof while but few of the
women and children were there.
These on the roof made their way
to safety over neighboring roofs.
Meanwhile the members of their
familes who bad remained in their
rooms found escape cut off aud
panic reigned throughout the building. When tlie firemen reached
the scene some of the tenants were
jumping from the windows and
from the ends of the fire escapes
that reached only to"* the second
floor; others were crouched in the
smoke in the small rooms aud narrow halls.
A number of daring rescues were
made by firemen and police, and
tbe conditions under which they
worked were unusual and difficult.
The loss of life was due chiefly to
the fact that alterations wero being
made in the tenement building.
Tbe basement and the first floor,
the latter about six feet above the
Nit) a walk level, had both tteen cut
through, tbe front and rear walls
having been removed and the upper floors being supported by steel
lieama that the workmen were
placing. Tho only exit from the

their furniture out and thus were
compelled to remain.

Sunday in Rossland
When a mining camp gets dull
tbe parsons generally 'wake up and
find that tbe people around them
are very wicked, and commence to
pour hot theological shot into the
ozonic, arena. Iu Rossland tlie
other Sunday two outside baseball
teams had a game which caused the
Rev. Geo, E. Smith to grow enthusiastic and denounce all Sunday
noise and desecration except that
made by church bells and choirs.
In this world the majority of people think that those who do not
act, think or do as they do arc
either crazy, foolish or wicked. Mr.
Smith belongs to this clasa, aud
having been educated in an atmosphere of theology for the purpose of
earning his beefsteak and mushrooms he naturally strikes a blow
at what endangers bin profession or
draws a dirty mark on one of bis
ideals, but to our mind ho ih not a
Christian. Ho states thut those
who play or look at hnseball upon
Sunday should be prosecuted and
suffer the penalty provided by law.

down Broadway one' day "when
Hughes said, "I'll beta dollar that
I can go up behind that actor- and
shake him without his resenting
it."
. "You   know   him, "   said    his
friend.
"Never saw him before; in my
life," said Hughes.
The bet was arranged, Hughes
advanced from behind, caught the
man by thu shoulders and shook
him violently. The actor turned
indignantly.
"I beg your pardon," said
Hughes; "I thought you were my
friend Mansfield."
The compliment was too telling.

advertisement columu of a Japanese-
-   newspaper, ^,'
The advertisement appeared on Satur
day and on Sunday morning1  1  wm
awakened at 0.80 a.m.-by an unusual
bustle below.   A knock at my door wns
followed by the information that I was
wanted.- Hastily slipping on a dressing
gown I hurried downstairs, to be con
fronted by a well dressed student, who
assured me ho could spoak a little Eng
lish, and therefore'had coino to be my
servant, but would wish to attend school
all day and do his work at night, as he
wished to learn European habits and
EngllBh language., I wa8 endeavoring
to make him understand he would not
suit at all when the door Opened and
another came, then another,.and before.
I. knew how they had got there my hall
■ was full, the garden crowded, and looking bbyond, to my utmost astonishment
1 could see them still coming/until the
house waB about to  be surrounded,
..There happened to be" no one, in'the
houBC' who. could speak English, a^nd I
i began to feel not only bewildered but
■■  alarmed.   No one spoke, everyone was
silently polite.   But'their faces!   Oh,
, dear, some were like those of seasoned
criminals, and others were those of re-
.- fined students, while among, them I
could distinctly see those of the "gentle;
. man" class. I spoke in-timid tones to
a few of these, ■ saying, '.'EigohanasU
maska?" (do you'.speak English) At
once oue or two eagerly eaidj "Yes, 1
can speak." I gratefully turned to these
but my task began to grow more diffi
, cult, and I was beginning to want my
breakfast. So I singled out one and
asked him to ccine and .speak privately
\. with me; It took me half an hour to
hear him in broken'English explain his
qualifications, which .wore' thosu of a
-u»tudenMnd^iibU'deBirerwaS'to^earn
. English. And so it was with many
others after him. - They offered to come
without wages, if I would only let them
see how Europeans live and let them
hear English. This 1 would not do. I
knew from experience it would be a bad
. arrangement,' and I wanted a servant
not a student; so I tried some young
men from the country, then some poor
old men who wi.hod to be boys, and
then the gentlemen. (Nothing, however,
was gained and I was beginning to be
exhausted, and they still kept coming:
At last I sent for an interpreter, and my
troubles seemed nearly londod. We
chose a nice clean nrnii, and I thought
it'waa settled But no. Thoy would
not glvo up hope of being accepted; and
tnough I had a paper written and stuck
outside, saying, "Klmaerlmashta" (It Is
settled). Altogether 1 have had over
four hundred applicants in two days.
Also I have had a huge pile of letters in
English and Japanese—nomo more than
humorous, some so pathetic as to bring
tears to my eyes. Tho following is tlie
typo from tho studont;—
' 118, Waaeda, Isurumaklcho, Wshlgame,

Mnda.n S.,—I will write with my all
sincerity.   I have seen tho Advertise

able to continue the education of .their
sons, and the craving to" iearu English
is quite pathetic    Even the poor'mas
sage women will aslc (6 be taught and
do. tho most
menial work for the .privilege of leaning tho English language daily. One
of my applicants was attending: one
of the' highest and' 'most expensive
schools in Tokio. , Another came Jn his
beautiful silk kimono,- which in iteelf
must havo been a small fortune. To
get English free of charge a man will
do anything. Wo cannot help but admire their pluck nnd preseverance in
facing the most distasteful work to gain
their object. But, of course, there wore
some who capie because they were poor
and noeded work, One' man put hi«
head in his. hands and said he had come
twenty-eight miles.,- His disappointment was so great it distressed me very
much. In Japan It is the same as-.in
America or England Tho servant
question-is a.difficult onoi though,'ol
course,.difficult from different causes
hero than elsewhere. - ■ ■ °'
. It is dlflieult to realize in ' tho old
country a "gentleman" wishing to become a servant, yet it is a fact here
many of-my-applicants sent in their
cards first, as if they had come "to pay
me~a vi6lt. The boy we have chosen is
bright, clean and quick, He has plenty
of work to do, and yet he thinks his
eight yen (16s). a month is excellent
pay; but it is a privilege to be here;
he thinks, and his dozen words of English will increase in a wonderful de
gree. Ho answers our call by "Yes
'sir," and it is difflcu't to make him understand I am^madam, and not sir. In
conclusion, after my late experiences,
it is wiser not to advertise if you need a
servant when you come to Japan.

Then extensive mining and milling
developments, together with the prob
ability of the erection of a smelter near
Hedley on theSimilkameen river, make
the prospects for a railway oxtention
through that country appear brighter
than at any previous time, while those
interested in the.agricultural and min

appears to be warrant for the statement that there aro indications that the

It will always contain racy paragraphs, breezy editorials and the latest news by wire and otherwise.

Gait Reporter:   The municipal electric light service has been in operation
in Chicago for sixteen years   and the
city felicitates itself unpon the outcome
ofthe enterprise undertaken in 1888.
Not a few of Chicago's shrewedest mun
took an unfavorable view of the project when it was mooted, but the advocates of municipal ownership were

in their plans by the splendid showing
which the city's waterworks made annually, the net earnings of the same
reaching nearly $2,000,000.
City Electrician Ellicott has completed his annual report and we glean from
it the following facts:
For the year just closed the system
