The truth of the statement made by Mr. William Munson in the Opera Houston Tuesday in support of his proposal to leave the city for two months to attend to his duties as M. P. P. for Skeena that "the present Mayor has been absent seven weeks in seven months," was contradicted by Mayor Stork this morning.

COttEGf BURNED DOWN STUDENTS NARROW ESCAPE Left the Building by Jumping From Windows���One Teacher Broke Back Jumping From Third Floor ���-No Water on Account of Frost. (Special to the Optimist) Montreal, Jan. 5.���St. Joseph's College ut Granby was burned to the ground today. The outbreak occurred when the classes were in session and the utmost consternation and confusion ensued when the alarm was given. The students did not wait to rush to the door. They made for the windows and got out in that precarious way. One of the teachers in attempting to jump from a window on the third floor broke his back. The flames spread with wonderful rapidity, and it was only by virtue of the agility und fearlessness of the students that they escaped becoming burning sacrifices. Mains Were Frozen At the time of the outbreak the mercury wus ut twenty-five below and it was impossible to get a sufficient supply of water. The mains were frozen und the supply within the house waa entirely inadequate. Whut wuter waa -brought into pluy hi��d little or no effect in checking the ravages of the fire.

Douglas, Mayoralty Candidates expected to speak. Seats Reserved for Ladies SWEDE FLIRTS WITH DEATH SHOT INTO AIR FROM WAGON ON THIRD AVENUE Soared for About Twenty Yards and Crashed Into Mud and Rock��� Comrades Thought Him Dead, but He Walked Off. A slight concussion that would kill an Englishman would merely intoxicate an Irishmun, it is said, und a precipitate jerk into space thut would iron out the frnme of any ordinary mortul to the flatness of u shirt front would merely tuke the form of u morning exercise for the hardy Swede. This interesting fact was exemplified this morning on Third avenue. One of these redoubtable sons of Thor was careering gallantly down the nvenue upon one of the Iressle wagons when it suddenly stopped. Young Thor shot into the balmy air with the grace of a bird and the velocity of a rocket. All would have been well had he been muster of the gravitating process but the forces of nature were against him. After continuing his flight for a modest twenty yanls or so, the eurth impelled him to return to his native sphere. He returned und with such promptitude as to give rise to ihe belief umong the spectators thut he was digging his own gruve. He urrived in the earth's embrace all in a lump and displaced us much rock and earth as a moderate charge of dynamite. For u moment he lay there effortless, und the crowd���by this time there were al least two witness of the cutus- tnsplis- ruslieil forwurd in I body prepured to enshroud the fuce of the dead ralher than render lirst aid to the injured. Without intimation Thor raised his shnggy head, shook tie mane of mud from his neck ur-d si oulders, penetrated the dungeon of unconsciousness with the tremor of his eye. and in divers ways munifested the fnct thut he had only been fiirting with death. Gathering the remnants of his body together he rose unassisted to his feet, and wilh u ludricroiis grunt of contempt at the eccentric wagon that hud cuuseil his downfall sulked off to resume his huzardoiis occupation. In future the Mayor will be authorized to engage extra help when required for pressure nf work in the city offices. ��� .t/Astyj* /Vfis-^isssWMUtllWti^^ fHB PRINCE R U PEl i WEATHER Protection As a protection against rain or wet snow there is no better garment than one of our imported English rain coats.

I I MAYORAL CONTEST j CONTINUED FROM I'AC.K 5 good looks than upon good speeches to land him in the council. Pattullo and Policy Alderman Pattullo's name was received with loud applause. Acknowledging Mr. Manson's courtesy in asking hirri upon the platform. Alderman Pattullo got swiftly into his stride: "Mr. Manson," he said, "suys il was difficult for us to inaugurate u policy at the outset of our term nf office in the first, council year. I say it was not so hard to inaugurate a policy as it proved to carry it out. "Mr. Manson." he went on. "has quoted figures intending to muke us look like thirty cents, but his own policy strikes me us very much like that of G. W. Morrow who when he was running for mayor said he would immediately Inaugurate a policy of s|N*ntlitig u million dollars for the purpose of catching the working man's vole. Was not Mr. Manson's policy inspired by Q, W. Morrow?" (Oh! Oh'- Parks and Sewers "Why should we he forced now to make o deal with thc Q, T. P. for park sites which we ought to huve hud anyway hud Mr. Manson properly watched the city's interests with the government?" asked Alderman Pattullo. Mr. Manson had referred to sewers���yes, but the people cried out for a puy roll. They would not huve upuy roll so soon in the city hud the council waited to formulate u sewerage system before starting work. It would take a long whifc to start up the sewer plans, yet tne council wus already at work on them. Before next yeur is out Ihe system will be well started und funds raised. Regarding finances Alderman Pattullo expressed the opinion that Prince Rupert is in a very strong position. The Bank of Montreul wus interested in the city now to the amount of $500,- 000, und would have to boost the city's flotation of stock in the world's markets. Who Delayed the Light "One of the most difficult problems the council had to face," said Alderman Pattullo, "was the lighting problem. To put the proposition on a paying busis was the problem. As for the delay if there was any delay it was due to Alderman Smith who as chairman of the committee kept wanting the matter adjourned. When the other members of the committee took the matter in hand it was quickly started in earnest. Now the light is nearly here," went on Alderman Pattullo, "and I have no doubt indeed that if Mr. Manson were elected Muyor we should huve light right away���now that the work is done. But he would want the credit for soing it." Assessment Again Alderman Pattullo referred to the G. T. P. assessment which Mr. Manson had said Mr. Cuthbert had done very well. "Certainly for some people he did very well," said Alderman Pattullo. "I could show you a lol belonging to the G. T. P. Development company assessed at $10 and within thirty feet of it one otherwise owned, which is assessed ut $260. And it was Mr. Manson who submitted Mr. Cuthbert's nume to the charter committee. Mr. Manson has more partisanship in his heart thun he has the interests of the City of Prince Rupert, as was proved by his behavior at Victoria." About the Machine Recalling the affair of the License By-law Alderman Pattullo declared that Alderman Hilditch and Alderman Smith hud stuck out for a system of machine rule. "There are some fine sepcimens I of machine rule men here," he said, sweeping a glance round the platform. | "You know perfectly well that Jack Kirkpatrick and M. M. Stephens had no intention of going up for aldermen until this matter came up. 1 have u friendly regard for them both," he added, "but I do think that they will probably use their aldermanie position for party purposes." Eight Hour Day, $3 A questioner rose in the hall asking if it were customary in Canada that when the citizens endorsed a policy it should be carried out. Alderman Pattullo���I think so. Questioner--Did you carry out the policy of an eight hour day for $3 in city work? Alderman Pattullo���The city council hus absolutely lived up to this in framing their contracts but if you want me to say thut nuy man has not a --erfect right to do us he likes after his eight hours are finished then I will never do il. I would rather go down to defeat than do anything that would Interfere with the liberty of the subject so. With which incident Aldermun Pattullo's address closed. Faint Praise for Council Mr. W. S. Benson wus also prepared tti vote for Mr. Manson because he thought he was the best mun in the l field. He thought they wanted a whole j lot from the Provincial Government | just ut this time, and lie would say the j same thing even if they hud u Liberal administration ut Victoria. One ol the things they did want was u town hull site. Thut wus no joke he said. "I should say it is not u joke," interrupted Aldermun Pattullo. "because we now huve to pay for it." Continuing Mr. Benson did not think Mr. Mobley was endowed with the extruordinury ability thut some people were inclined to credit him with. He ulso thought thut Mr. M. M. Stephens wus rdiculous in stuting that they were now in the hands of the Bank of Montreal. He inclined to think the first city council of Prince Rupert was up against a stiff proposition and that they had done very well under the circumstances. No Strings on Him Now D. W. Morrisy who said thut the last time he ran for council he was an employee of the G. T. P. which hud made people say he had strings on him, now claimed an absolutely free candidature. He stood up for Mr. Manson as a clean principled man well fit to be Mayor. He praised the first council as a body of the very best men available at the time they were elected, and remarked on how gradually criticism had developed in the press. ? "The Beuatiful Bunch" Touching on the G. T. P. assessment Mr. Morrisey went on to enlarge upon the old story of the Bank of Montreal's withdrawal of their offer of $500,000 on hearing that the G. T. P. were disputing the assessment. "That Alderman Pattullo could have the face to say that the Manager of the Bank of Montreal had come through with the loan lute because of the beautiful bunch of aldermen they had at Prince Rupert, was an example," said Mr. Morrisey, "of brass beyond belief." "The fact was that the manager of the bank had come from Victoria and laid down certain conditions on which the loan was to be granted. Alderman Pattullo interrupting "That is not true!" Mr. Morrisey went on to emphasize the city's need for openings to the waterfront from Second avenue through the reserve, and at Seventh and Eleventh streets. He intends to stick out for these if elected. "And," he said, "though a Liberal of Liberals I ssy that il Premier McBride is behind the efforts to negotiate with the G. T. P. over the assessment difficulty, I am proud of him." Question Let Loose Here Alderman Pattullo stepped forward to ask the question regarding the street ends. "Would it not have been better to have had these provided before the townsite was sold when the government could huve done this?" Mr. Morrisey replied thnt this wus true but the best diplomat in all Canada, viz., Mr. J. H. Bacon, hud seen to it thst the G. T. P. got the advuntage here. Seizing the chance while Alderman Pattullo wus up n workman in the audience sent up a slip of paper with these questions for him. 1. "Did not the same men working for the city work ten hours for $3.50. This Alderman Pattullo said he would not answer, because he did not know for certuin. 2. "Huve you a Chinaman employed in your household?" "I refuse to answer this," said Alderman Puttullo, "unless the writer comes up on the plutform." The mun did so. Alderman" Puttullo explained that as every woman could understand thc difficulty of getting women for housework wus responsible for his employing a Chinuman. Whenever he could get a capable woman, he would enagae one. Empire and Pattullo Mr. S. M. Newton waa then called upon by the chairman to nddress the meeting. He complained of the criticism thut hud been luunched at the Empire, und uttucked Aldermun Puttullo on u wide runge of subjects. Referring to Aldermun Pattullo's assertion thut the platform purty represented machine politics he said thut the uldermen and u number of others hud sent u rep- resentutive to him to try to buy up the Empire u few months ugo to make a grit orgun of it. "And they could not buy me," he udded. "They could not buy me. They bnmboozled me for months but they could not buy the Empire. Whut did they do? They went off and bought the Optimist." (Loud laughter.) Made Football of Smith Declaring that he had done his best always for the city during his term of office, und intended to continue the even tenor of his way if re-elected, Alderman Smith gave his support to Mr. Manson. "Alderman Pattullo," he said, "has been making a football of me. I don't know why, over the delay in the light plant. There were other members of that light committee ns much to blame as I may have been. My effort has ever been to further the interests of Prince Rupert and to try to bring about a settlement of the G. T. P. difficulty. That is why I am running again this year." Aldermun Smith concluded with a reference to a reported remark of Alderman Pattullo's at a recent meeting to the effect that he and Alderman Mobley were the best men for the council that ever happened. Alderman Smith thought this rather a confident assertion. Dr. Clayton in his address referred to the telephone system. He thought that the dividend obtained should go into the pockets of the people who maintained the system by subscribing to it. Challenge to Pattullo "I challenge Aldermon Pattullo to show me where I have ever used my political influence to further my own ends," said M. M. Stephens who denied that he and J. Kirkpatrick were partisans though members of the Conservative association. M. M. Stephens declared he was prouder about his connection with that association than if he held shares in the Optimist. That the city was handed over to the Bank of Montreal Mr. Stephens was sure. That bold challenge of Alderman Pattullo's to Mr. Hays to dare to knock the city debenture issue was an example of how Alderman Pattullo carried the chip on his shoulder. Down on City Solicitor Mr. Stephens went on to criticise Alderman Naden and his absences from couucil and also recalled the story about his having left Greenwood while still its member and represented that city for two years while he was in Prince Rupert. A voice interrupted with: "Tell us whut you are going to do?" "Certainly," returned Mr. Stephens, "one thing that I shall do if elected is to endeavor to place the offices of this city in an efficient manner, and the first thing I shall do will be to ask for the resignation of the city solicitor if it is not in already." Mr. Stephens Got Heckled Mr. W. E. Williams, of the legal firm of Williams Si Manson rose in the body of the hall to ask Mr. Stephens to define the ground of his objection to the present city solicitors. "Well, I think the city requires the services ot men, not youngsters," he started to say, when the meeting suddenly livened up. There were cries of "Rotten"; "The boys can do the work all right"; "Were you never young yourself?" and Mr. Stephens changed his tactics. To several specific charges of incompetent legal advice, Mr. Williams gave a straight denial. Mr. Stephens then said he thought the solicitors were paid too much for the services they rendered. An Amusing Break The last speaker for the evening wus Alderman Hilditch. He announced himself as in favor of the candidature of Mr. Manson for Mayor. He tleprecated the use of the argument that Mr. Manson waa unfit for the mayoral oflice on account of the fact that he would be away for two months of the year. "The Mayor is not the whole thing. If Mr. Manson went away for two months they would not even miss him." This slip let him in for great merriment. Amused or Abuaed? Very briefly G. W. Kerr announced his candiduture. "We have all been amused und some ol us have been abused," he snid. "Unlike Mr. Kirkpatrick I cannot win votes by my good looks nor my pretty speeches. But I will do my best for the city if elected, and I hope to have your support." The meeting closed with cheers for Manson and counter cheers for Mobley.

A slight concussion that would kill an Englishmun would merely intoxicate an Irishman, it is said, and a precipitate jerk into space thut would iron out the frnme of uny ordinury mortal to the flatness of a shirt front would merely take the form of u morning exercise for the hurdy Swede. This interesting fact wus exemplified this morning on Third avenue. One of these redoubtable sons of Thor wus careering gallantly down the avenue upon one of the tressle wagons when it suddenly stopped. Young Thor shot into the balmy air with the grace of a bird und the velocity of u rocket. All would have been well had he been muster of the gravitating process but the forces of nature were aguinst him. After continuing his flight for a modest twenty yards or so, the earth impelled him to return to his native sphere. He returned und with such promptitude as to give rise to ihe belief umong the spectators thut he wus digging his own crave. He urrived in the earth's embrace all in u lump und displuccd us much rock und earth as u modernte charge of dynamite. For u moment he luy there effortless, und the crowd -by this time there were ui least two witness of the catastrophe rushed forward in a body prepared to enshroud the face of the dead rather thun render first aid to the injured. Without intimation Thor raised his shaggy head, shook tie mane of mud from his neck ard si oulden, penetrated the dungeon of unconsciousness with the tremor of his eye. and in divers ways manifested the fnct that he had only been flirting with death. Gathering the remnants of his body together he rose tinus* isted to his feet, and with u ludricroiis grunt of contempt, at the eccentric wagon thut had caused his downfull stalked off to resume his hazardous occupation.

Manager JULIUS LEVY Jobber oj High-grade Havana Cigars Tobaccos Wholesale and Retail General Booth's Love Story General Booth has just observed the twentieth anniversary of the death of his wife, the "mother" of the Salvation Army, and pays a touching tribute to her memory. He recalls to mind the day���April 19, 1852-when "I met my beloved wife, und commenced a relationship which has lusted from that doy to this, und which I um reckoning will continue to the closing hours of my eurthly history, and be renewed ut the gates of the celestial city. We met thut evening ut a sort of public festi vul of some Methodist people with whom we were both associated. Between the tea drinking and the speaking Catherine Mumford was introduced to me by a mutual friend, who spoke of her in terms of the strongest admiration. "No doubl," proceeded the general, "I voluntarily threw my heart's door wide open, not knowing perhaps whut I wus doing, und she, not unwillingly, equally unconscious of whut she wus doing, walked in and took the first place there. From that place she was never dislodged nnd never will be." Gencrul Booth says there were difficulties in the way ot an engagement. His position was not equal to the responsibility of keeping a wife and home in comfort. "What could I do with a wife? In the first place, I was without any settled income, and had no immediate prospect of finding one, having just separated myself not only from business, but from the people in whose ministry 1 hud the prospect of a call. "However, we looked carefully ut euch other, und ut our circumstunces. and found thut we were both quite prepared to wait uny number of years thut might be necessnry before mar- riuge: und with this understanding we entered into un cngugetnenl that lusted for nearly forty years in this world, und will, 1 fondly believe, last forever in the world to come." Three years, as u matter of fact, elapsed before the murriuge was cele- prowess to the end of life, but the physique and form of her children will not be influenced in the least. "The son of the bruwny-armed blacksmith, us is well known, does not inherit the huge muscles of his father. In the same way the daughter of a broad flat-shouldered and heavy-handed athletic woman of today will revert to the small hands and narrow bottle shoulders of the young woman of the early Victorian period if she is brought up on early Victorian lines." To Honor Women of South To commemorate the sacrifice, privation and bravery of the women of the South during the Civil War, ten Southern states will erect���in their capital cities���monuments in bronze or marble, replicas of the original design made by Miss Belle Kinney, a young daughter of the old South. Miss Kinney's father was a Confederate soldier, her mother is a Southern woman, and she herself was born in Nashville, Tenn., about twenty-three years ago. This young woman, whose art education has been entirely in the United States, hus thus secured the largest contract for sculpture work ever given to any woman, says a writer in the January Hampton's Magazine. The monument is a group of three figures, ull heroic. The central form is that of Fame bending slightly to set the laurel wreath upon the brow of a figure at the right representing the Southern woman, who is placing the pulm of victory upon the breast of a dying soldier boy. The boy is struggling to raise once more the torn and scarred buttle flag which he has been currying. The group is an attempt to reveal the heroism, sympathy, and steadfast loyalty ol the Southern women to their soldiers in the field.

Female Beauty Safe Mr. John C,ruy, secreiury of the an- thriipistiii-iris-.il committee of the British association does not see uny reuson for the scare cuused by stntenients that unless the modern athletic woman radically changes her habits, in u few years she will be indistinguishable as regards hi-r figure from a man. Mr. Cray says the English womun's fondness for athletics, despite the slight chnnge it produces in her physique, is not bringing about any premancnt I deteriorution in the beauty of the feminine form and therefore there is just as little fear of any such chunge . in thc American woman. "Although," he Bays, "the present I fashion of women indulging in athletics I has influenced the modern woman's figure, brondening the shoulders and waist perhaps and enlarging her hands and feet, such changes are almost us temporary as the fashions which cause them. An athletic woman may carry the physical signs of her musculnr There is a large bow of ribbon, with a centre made of loops of colored floss in different shades of blue at the left side.

The edge of the cap in front and at the side is finished off with the ribbon caught nl intervals by bows of the floss. , OUR DAILY RECIPES Stewing Raw Oysters Do not make the mistake of serving large oysters raw at a woman's luncheon. Most women prefer blue points or cherry stones. Raw oysters are more palatable on their own shell than on handsome oyster plates.

Ottawa, Dec. 31.���The Montreal Standard is informed on high authority that J. J.

Thtrsday, Jan. 5 The Council's Eight Hour Clause If any of the politicians who inspired the attack on Aldermun Pattullo's labor programme at the Manson meeting hoped to score from it, they ure doomed to disappointment. The inquiry which Alderman Pattullo usked permission to make before giving B final answer to his questioners shows that in the contracts let by the council there is inserted a hard and fast clause making it impossible for any contractor to pay less than $:i.00 for an eight hour day or to work his laborers longer thun eight hours out of the twenty-four. This hurd and fast clause was drafted by the city solicitors in response to a request of the Streets.Works, und Property committee. Aldermun Pattallo is not a member of thut committee, and his action in suspending a final unswer to the question sprung on him at Tuesday's meeting was the action of a man who prefers to be perfectly sure of his facts before speakiiiR-. The clause reads as follows: "The contractor shall employ competent workmen for carrying out the work, and shall pay a minimum wage of 37 1-2 cents per hour for ordinary labor, and shall employ all labor on the understanding that eight hours shall j constitute a day's work, and shall not ask nor permit uny laborer to work for more than eight hours out of the twenty-four, und no shift shall exceed eight hours of labor. . . .and no Asiatic labor shull lie employed on the work." I This cluuse is inserted in every contruct which the council makes. It effectively ' disposes of uny implied churge that any of the members of the council ure not consistently living up to their pledges for un eight hour day, a minimum wugi of $3.00, and the exclusion of Asiatics from civic work.

Regan Denies Charges and Desires to Appear Before Full Board-Meeting Adjourned. Question of Legal Advice At 1:30 p.m. today the police commissioners, Mayor Stork, chairman and Aldrrman K. Mobley met in the City Hall in connection with the charges against Police Sergeant Regan who was present. Commissioner Mobley said that he had called the meeting in order that Sergt. Regan might have early opportunity of making his statement if he desired, before the commissioners. Sergt. Regan said briefly that he was not guilty of any of the charges ugainst him. He understood thut Mr. Halsey, the third commissioner, would be in the city by Tuesday, and desired an adjourment until then in order that he might give his defence before a full board. Mayor Stork mentioned that he had! arranged by letter with Chief McCarvell | thut those concerned in the case should \ be summoned to appear before the commission at 10 a.m. on Saturday, for a preliminary hearing of the charges and defence. This arrangement holds, though an adjournment will probably be called for Tuesday if Mr. Halsey can then be present. Sergt. Regan stated that he was ready at any time to give his defence in detail. He asked in the event of there being a lawyer employed by the eomplaincrs the commissioners would require him to have legal advice also. Commissioner Mobley said he did not think the commissioners required legal advice for the preliminary hearing at all events. Afterwards there would be time for both sides lo call in lawyers if need be.

(Speciul to the Optimist) Vancouver, Jan. 5.���The investigation into the Chinese scandal at Vancouver is proving a difficult matter. Yip On, the deposed Chinese interpreter was in the witness box ull yesterday and ull this morning. He performed like un eel. Mr. McCrossan tried to get him to identify cables signed by his lirm but it was hard work and in the end the court wan left in a state of doubt as to. whether they had been identified or not. Justice Murphy warned the witness on several occasions that fourteen years was the punishment for perjury but he did not seem to mind the threat greatly. After a gruelling examination he at length admitted having received one cable relating to Chinese coming into British Columbia.

Thursday, Jan. 5 The Council's Eight Hour Clause If any of the politicians who inspired the uttuck on Aldermun Puttullo's labor programme at the Manson meeting hoped to score from it, they ure doomed to disappointment. The inquiry which Alderman Pattullo asked permission to make before giving a final answer to his questioners shows that in the contracts let by the council there is inserted a hard and fast clause making it impossible for any contractor to pay less than $3.00 for an eight hour day or to work his laborers longer than eight hours out of the twenty-four. This hard and fast clause was draftetl by the city solicitors in response to a request of the Streets,Works, and Property committee. Alderman Pattallo is not a member of that committee, and his action in suspending n final answer to the question sprung on him at Tuesday's meeting was the action of u mun who prefers lo be perfectly sure of his fuels before speuking. The Clause reads as follows: "The contractor shall employ competent workmen for currying out the work, und shull pay a minimum wife of 37 1-2 cents per hour for ordinury labor, and shall employ ull labor on the understanding that eight hours shall constitute a day's work, and shall not ask nor permit any laborer to work for more than eight hours out of the twenty-four, und no shift shull exceed eight hours of labor. . . .and no Asiatic labor shall be employed on the work." This clause is inserted in every contract which the council makes. It effectively disposes of any implied charge that any of the members of the council are not consistently living up to their pledges for an eight hour day, u minimum wage of $:).00, and the exclusion of Asiatics from civic work.

What Do The Workers Think It is ridiculous for Mr. Manson to inform the electorate in one breath that he is Prince Rupert's one big best chance for Mayor, and in the next breath that, if elected, he will not he missed from the city for a couple of months. The two sayings do not harmonize. There is not a laborer in the city's service however humble his work who dare lake such liberties with his job. Why then should the Mnyor be allowed to do so? His job is not of less importance to the city, und he is better puid for it thun is the luhorer. It cannot be too clearly understood by the working men electors of Prince Rupert that the Mayor is a salarietl official. His time is not his own. Like Alderman Smith who excuses his Infrequent attendance at the council by saying that his time is bought and paid (or by a private firm, the Mayor's time is bought und paid for by the city. He should be |irc|mred to sacrifice every other interest to looking after lhe business of the city. It is a misuse of fact�� to plead that Mayor Stork was uwuy from town twice j the end cume. during his term of ollice. With the exception nf two weeks in November when the work nf the council was well under way. Mayor Stork's trips out of town were all on civic business. He was not uwuy looking after another job. Mr. Manson's still in iheir m-n.i duties as If, p. p. for Skeena. if properly attended to, will keep him busy fur four; cadence months of this year. In addition to the two months ut Victoriu, he has official,strained their ears tti detect the eluiivel trips to muke tO Stewart, the (Jus-en Charlotte Islands, lhe Skeena antl Bella Coola strains thev were not successful One and other places in the constituency. j Sl>ns��� havinR ,���-,,.,* th(,m (h(iy ipperJ|d j We would not think nf engaging u mun lo act its building inspector who wus | frantically to another the sight.

IT SOUNDS LIKE AWFUL DOINGS SAMPLE OF WHAT AN EDITOR HAS TO PUT UP WITH Description of Something That Happened Near the Waterfront, as Told by the Optimist Prose-poet��� What Does It Mean. Was it a freak of occultism or merely a film of the mind? That wus the question; the question that disturbed the mind's peace and checked the regular beat of the heart, like a cog in the wheel, of the aesthetic few who foregathered on the waterfront this morning to drink in the glories of a radient morn. It wus indeed a glorious morning. The bay was like a mirror set in silver, with the soft cloud banks above und beyond trucing themselves into eccentric arabesque and al frescoes completing the celestial boudoir of the ethereul nymphs. Everything danced with joy and mirth to the soulful symphony of the brain's orchestra. The music of mun wus brought into sweet communion with the music of lhe spheres nnd the lesson of the universe seemed about to unfold its precious page when DAUGHTER-IN- LAW ELOPES AND REVENGFUL SON RUNS OFF WITH HIS STEPMOTHER Curious Ending to Marital Mixup��� Old Man and His Love Escape by Ladder-Other Two Take It Philosophically. Even us they looked the music ceased, but they looked on for the echo was Gradually the last ��� .s'o i..*,��� dietl away und although they Connelsville, Pa., Jan. 3.-The climux of an unusual marital mixup in tne Burns family came yesterday, when George Burns eloped with his stepmother to get revenge on his father, who ran away with his son's wife, last week. Since the elder Burns and the younger Mrs. Burns disuppeured. the son and his stepmother have been searching for them but without success. They were supposed to be in Pittsburg, but the police in thut city have been unable to find them. Peace had reigned in the Burns household until the advent of the younger Mrs. Burns. She wus u very uttractive young woman and several times the son returned home from work at the coke ovens to find his wife and father tete-a-tete. At rising time in the Burns home the elder Burns and the son's wife could not be found. The two had crawled down a luddcr and stolen away over u lawn. Mr. Burns nnd his stepmother have taken the affair philosophically, but the townspeople hud not recovered from the shock when the second one came. They invited the neighbors for supper and statetl that they were e'oing away too. Nothing will make the missing two so remorseful they thought. So the man about 25 years old und the womun more thun double that age, boarded u truin for Pittsburg after announcing the fact in a locul paper.

Mobley met in the City Hall in connection with the charges ugainst Police Sergeant Regan who was present. Commissioner Mobley said that he had called the meeting in order that Sergt. Regan might have early opportunity of making his statement if he desired, before the commissioners. Sergt. Regan said briefly thut he was not guilty of any of the charges ugainst him. He understood thut Mr. Hulsey, the third commissioner, would be in the city by Tuesdny, and desired an udjourment until then in order thut he might give his defence before a full board. Mayor Stork mentioned that he hud arranged by letter with Chief McCarvell thut those concerned in the case should be summoned to appear before the commission at 10 a.m. on Saturday, for u preliminury heuring of the charges and defence. This arrangement holds, though an adjournment will probably be called for Tuesday if Mr. Halsey can then be present. Sergt. Regan stated that he was ready at any time to give his defence in detail. He asked in the event of there being a luwyer employed by the complainers the commissioners would require him to huve legal advice ulso. Commissioner Mobley said he did not think the commissioners required legal udvice for the preliminary heuring at all events. Afterwards there would be time for both sides to coll in lawyers if need be.

Nov. 17. THUS. R. DAVEY Wilson (sowing, Agent Montreal, Jan. 1.���Following a buttle at the corner of St. David's lane and St. James street, between an Irishman and three Italians, all four needed medical attention. Two had to be sent to the general hospital for repairs. Lieut. Marwick, of the Chaboillez street station, receiving a message that a fight was in progress on the corner of St. James street and St. David's lane, sent out constables Judd and Filia- trault. On their way to the scene the constables met Patrick Shields, 26 years of age, with a gash on the back of his head and his right car split. Shields, who said he had no home in the city, told the constables he was looking for a police station because three Italians were lying dead in the lane and should be removed to the morgue. Judd and Filiatrault hurried over to the corner of St. David's lane and lying there, a few yards from St. James street, found a man with his face battered almost to pulp. The other two, according to a couple of men who witnessed the row, were almost as badly used up. From what the police could learn Shields was passing along St. David's lane when one Italian spoke to him. The Irishman resented the remark and the three Italians turned on him. One, armed with a razor, slashed the Irishmun across the right ear and on the back of the head. Then followed the row, in which the Italians were beaten, and battered into inconsciousness by Shields.

It is proposed to dry and "disintegrate" these reeds which are generally known as "sudd" reducing them to powder, which will be compressed into briquettes. No binding material is necessary. An Anglo-German syndicate has been formed to promote the manufacture. Representatives of the Soudan Government and the British and German Admiralties were present at the trials. The promoters claim that the sudd fuel can be put on the market 35 to 40 per cent cheaper than coal. STEEL MAGNATE RETIRES Because His Actress Wife Desires to Go on Trip New York. Jan. 4.

He condensed the wonderful wealth of interesting detail nnd emphasized the salient points in Lincoln's armoury, his high moral courage, his aptitude for learning, and his undeviitting conscientiousness. The address was greatly appreciated bu the audience. During the evening songs and recitations were submitted by members of the club. For the small district of Section One still requiring sewers the city engineer's estimate of $33,000 for the work is considered by the council to indicate that the work proposed is too expensive, and the city engineer is asked to suggest a less costly plan involving a smaller system of sewers. While the citizens are known to favor the idea that any work done should be permanent, it was pointey out by Alderman Lynch that to carrP out this work permanently would not be easy, and that a less ambitious plan would meet the case meanwhile. It was pointed out by Alderman Lynch that a money by-law must go through before anything serious in the sewer scheme can be attempted, and the task will be one for the next council. duty of the next board to meet the demands of the occasion for next year. Mr. Palmer expressed the view that the subscription was going to be a losing game, and they had contingencies arising in the next two years that were sure to absorb the money proposed to be borrowed. He proposed getting the money as soon as possible. On the suggestion of Mr. Manson it was decided to leave the matter in abeyance till after the collector had reported. After that there was no occasion for them to limit the proposal to $5000. It was only a matter of arrangement with the bank. The annual meeting was decided to be held on the 31st of January. Mr. Stewart and Mr. Kirkpatrick (the president) were appointed a committee to confer with the Ladies' Auxiliary with a view to holding a reception or a formal opening in connection therewith. The secretary was asked to write to the Choral Society of Prince Rupert for their report in connection with the concert given recently oh behalf of the hospital. It was decided to advertise for new coal tenders, the others being too high. TRY THE OPTIMIST WANT AD.
