Hil- The Publicity Club held a general meeting in Mclntyre hall last night and appointed the committees for the reception of the home steamer Prince Rupert and the entertainment of her guests. H. H. Clarke, president of the club, was in the chair, and briefly outlined the objects of the meeting. He read the invitation of Mr. Hinton for a delegation to board the new steamer at Seattle and come up with her, and the chairman said that Messrs. Law and McCaffery had been selected as the delegation and were leaving for Seattle on the Cottage City. He told further of the invitations to a dance to be given by the club to the distinguished visitors aboard which the delegates would deliver, and remarked that the club being pledged to this dance it was for the members to get to work and do honor to Prince Rupert the new steamer and Prince Rupert the new city. The matter was taken up with enthusiam, and there were a plenty of volunteers to serve on the necessary committees. Those chosen were as follows: Reception Committee Mayor Stork, A. E. McMaster, Wm. Manson, M. P.P., Major Gibson, J. Meehan, Alfred Morris, H. H. Clarke, J. H. McMullin, M. P. McCaffery and William Law. , Refreshment Committee J. J. Sloan, L. A. Miller, W. Munroe, W. H. Vickers. l.

The offices on each side of the entrance to the hall will be used as cloak rooms; also the platform will be moved from the hall so that as much room as possible will be available for dancing. It was suggested that the skating rink be engaged for the dance, but against this was urged that it was not easily to be found by strangers to the city and that the new flooring of the Mclntyre hall was just the thing for dancing. The committees are to report at eight o'clock on Monday evening, at the new offices of the Publicity Club, Mining Association Exchange, Christiansen block. It is well to be useful, but don't let people use you. It will be all off with the rats tonight Once Aid. Barrow and his exterminating brigade get under way the enemy will be forced to retreat. A mere retreat will not satisfy the captain. He is determined to drive the unwelcome rodents to the sea like the herd of swine possessed with a devil in the old days that rushed down the hills into the sea and were drowned. Capt. Barrow will lead off the grand march at seven o'clock this evening and he will have a force of sixteen stalwart braves armed to the teeth with tin pan and long-handled spoons. The pans will contain a most appetizing combination of fresh bread and virus of which the rats are requested to eat heartily. The army will also have a piece of chalk with which to mark the door posts visited, after the same manner as the Angel of Death visited the Egyptians prior to the departure of the children of Israel from captivity. Not only will the first-born of each rate family enter into eternity, but it Is expected the whole outfit will shut their eyes upon the cold and unsympathetic worlds The warriors, under the direction of Capt. Barrow, will divide into sections and make a complete circle of the city and then advance rapidly upon the hidden foe so as to take them completely by surprise and allow none to break through the ranks. It will be a great stroke and a mighty victory if all goes well and the fishes of the sea and fowls of the air will rejoice for they will have fresh meat enough to last them for weeks. The afflicted children of Rupert will rejoice also to walk about without knocking over a rat or two. This morning a scout from the Optimist dropped in upon Capt. Barrow in his communition store house and found that gentleman and a number of his most trusted lieutenants preparing the cartridges for the charge. Ladysmith will fall tonight, or the captain will be really disappointed. The headquarters of the army are in the old confectionery store on Second avenue and there the ien were working. The stores contained 600 tubes of virus, 100 pounds of fishing bread, sixty tin pans and sixty spoons and pieces of chalk. A large mixing trough is used and the bread is prepared and the virus mixed in and then placed into the pans for the men to take out. Every citizen is asked to assist by either placing the stuff themselves on the rat run ways or showing the men where to put it. Premier will Arrive here on Saturday and will Stay until Following Tuesday.���Interested in Future of this Great Seaport. PURITY OF CITY'S WATER ALD. MOBLEY SEES THINGS IN A GLASS Authority Given Fire Committee to Engage Staff of Fire Department-- Question of Standpipes and House Connection. (Special to the Optimist) Ottawa, June 10.���The date of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's arrival at Vancouver is fixed for August 16th. He leaves Victoria on the night of the 18th, arriving at Prince Rupert on Saturday noon. This change in the itinerary of his trip will enable him to extend his visit to Prince Rupert, in which city he takes a deep interest,and he will not leave there until Tuesday. It is stated that Sir Wilfrid remarked in a recent interview with Grand Trunk Pacific authorities that he trusted the great enterprise had chosen an adequate harbor for its Pacific terminus, as its importance had to be considered from many points of view. It might grow to such an extent that its strategetical situation would have to be considered as one of the great seaports of the empire on the Pacific, and there were other points of view outside of that of its commercial advantages as being the shortest connection of Canada with the Orient. It is believed that the interest in the new seaport then shown by the premier has led to the changing of the itinerary of his western trip so that he may give a little more time to the study of Prunce Rupert, topographically and in other aspects. TO SUCCEED EARL GREY Duke of Connaught Next Governor- General of Canada London, June 6.���Captain Scott appeals to the empire for funds for his south polar expedition, pointing out that the crew is imperial in character. Canada's representative is Mr. Wright of Toronto. SERIOUS ACCIDENT (Special to the Optimist) London, June 10.���In accordance with tne expressed wish of the late king, the Duke of Connaught will succeed Earl Grey as governor-General of Canada early next spring. The duke will first visit South Africa, to open the new parliament of the confederation and may make a long stay visiting the several provinces. Weddings in Mourning London, June 5.���As the Maidsttme- Drexel, and other important weddings, will occur during the period of mourning for the late king it is intimated that the guests at the functions may wear white or half mourning. George Denton had Bad Fall and is Taken to Seattle While at work on the new school building yesterday afternoon, George Denton, foreman for the contractor, Alex. Prudhomme, slipped on a loose plank and fell astride one of the joists. Dr. McNeill was in almost immediate attendance and the sufferer was tenderly cared for by Mr. Prudhomme, He Killed by Thunder Storms Cologne, Germany, June. ��� (Special)���Thunder storms of great violence yesterday visited the E.hein provinces, and badly damaged the crops of Western and Central Germany. It is reported that twenty persons were killed on the borders of the Rhine. Local Option Lecture Dr. Spencer will address another mass meeting in the Empress Theatre. His subject will be "Your next move. Why?" Music will be supplied by Mr. Davies' quartette. The meeting begins at 4 p.m. Sunday. After the long debate on every point of by-law No. 4 the regulations of the fire department, and its final passage, the council last night had a general conversa- ion upon a variety of topics of more or less importance, . Aid. Mobley begun it by suggesting that the building inspector be instructed to work on the necessary by-laws for the regulation of building in the city, to which Aid. Hilditch added that the inspector should act under the streets committee in this regard, and should also give his attention to the condition of the streets if he had time. Aid. Mobley rejoined that the inspector's duties should be outlined by the committee. Introduction of By-law Aid. Mobley gave notice that at the next meeting of the council he would introduce by-law No. 6, being a by-law dealing with the water supply of the city. Mr. Williams, city solicitor, pointed out that no notice was necessary in such case; than an alderman could move for leave to introduce a by-law at any time. Aid. Pattullo thought it well to give notice so that the other members of the council might be apprised of what was to come up and be prepared for it. His Worship also thought this the proper and customary proceeding, and it seemed to be agreed the council should follow it through without making it a definite rule of its procedure. Reports of Committees Aid. Hilditch wanted to know when the several committees would report so that they could form an opinion when the estimates would be laid before the council. The chairmen of some of the committees told of the progress made, Aid. Mobley stating the fire and water committee was practically ready to report, but he did not think they were < "ed upon to make estimates for the yeai DUt only for the work decided upon under way or to be begun at once. This was the general understanding, Aid. Lynch stating that the streets and property would be unable to report until the engineer's report was completed. Standpipes and Connections Aid. Mobley said he had been asked in regard to the installation of standpipes and had stated the necessary proceeding to be taken by applicants. He would like to ask upon what terms and conditions a small connecting pipe could be run. Aid. Hilditch would ask what was the largest pipe permitted to be run from a main. On Ambrose street, for instance, which was rapidly filling up with buildings, a small pipe sufficient for one would not give sufficient pressure if carried to other buildings, and it would be better to put in a larger supply pipe. His Worship said these were matters for the engineer to decide according to circumstances. Should Appoint Fool-Killer Aid. Mobley called attention to what is undoubtedly a stupid libel upon the bright, pure water of the city. He named a certain drug store in the window of which was placed a glass of water with a placard stating that the water was taken from a city tap Under s strong microscope this showed the presence of worms CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 THE PRINCE RUPER1 OPTIMIST Prince Rupert Securities Co., Ltd.

In a shop window yesterday was exhibited a glass of water taken from a stagnant pool which, under the microscope, showed animals like sea serpents engaged.in dealy combat. If some one should carry this outside and libel us by showing it as city water, one might feel as bitterly resentful as does Toronto. A newspaper printed at Cardiff, Wales, has this to say of the city water supply of Toronto: Cardiffians who drink much water may congratulate themselves that they do not live in Toronto. There, an American paper assures us, the water is so bad that they have to strain it through a ladder to separate it from the debris. Citizens take it out of the tap with a gimlet and treat it with a solution of cloride of lime and sulphite of copper to remove the germs. Any germs that are too big for this treatment they take out in a back alley, and kill with a club. A Mistake. "I canna remember���his���what the bride was like, Donald."

The chief business taken up was the new tenders for the superstructure. Three were received and one was selected and the architect was instructed to sign up with him at once. The members of the Builders Exchange sent the board a letter stating that they were unable to tender on the contract owing to the board's request that eight hours a day constitute a days 'work and that the union scale of wages prevail. They claimed this was not fair and they would not tender. President Kirkpatrick reported that he had instructed the secretary to return Mr. Shockley's cheque to him and the board endorsed his action. Mr. Shockley is the one who put up a marked cheque with his tender on the superstructure and then refused to go on with the work. A letter was received from Mr. Hutchison stating that so far as a cash subscription from the G. T. P. was concerned it would have to wait a while. The letter also expressed Mr. Hay's disappointment that the board was not prepared to submit plans for his approval. List your property with us. We buy or sell; we get results.

CONTINUED PROM PAGE 1 and bugs and varieties of life which should not be found in pure water. Aid. Pattullo: Might I ask what time it was when the aldermen saw these squirming these? Aid. Mobley, however, was inclined to treat the matter seriously, and said he did not like this idea of the exibition of the city water. If the water was as this sample would seem to imply there should be an analysis made. No one seemed to think any fault could be found with ite water supply and the matter dropped. Telegram From City Engineer. The Mayor reported that he had received the following telegram from Engineer W. M. Davis, dated from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario: "Would be glad to have you extend time for my reporting for duty until July 15th. It not, will act aocording to agreement." Aid. Lynch moved and Aid. Pattullo seconded that the engineer be instructed to report when due, according to the agreement, and this was carried unanimously. Employment of Firemen Aid. Mobley said the fire committee had practically chosen the men for the fire department but found it had no authority from the council to employ them. On the motion of Aid. Lynch the report of the committee and its action was confirmed and the necessary powers to employ the staff of the department were given to them. The council then adjourned until Saturday evening.

The minutes of the last meeting were adopted. All the aldermen were present. A communication was read from the Prince Rupert Sash and Door Company, asking that the city provide for them a means of getting in and out of their factory. They want a roadway in block 22 section 6 to Seventh avenue. If the council cannot spare the money at the present time they will put it in if the city will refund the amount later. They also ask for all the fire protection They have spent many thousand dollars in the city and require these favors in order to carry on their business successfully and for the full benefit of the city. The matter was referred to the committees on Roads and Streets and Fire and Water. The Finance committee recommended the payment of a number of accounts and the report was adopted. The Streets Committee also presented a short report on the streets. Aid. Hilditch asked if it was the intention of the council to continue repairing the roads with the spruce plank or would they use fir. The latter will last a great deal longer and would be much cheaper. The mayor told him his committee better bring in a report on the subject. Aid. Naden introduced by-law No.,5 which provides for the raising of the city's revenue by taxes on roads, dogs, licenses etc., and regulating the same. HOTEL ARRIVALS. I Prince Rupert Inn. R. D.
