Commissioner Stephens wanted a jpecit'i.d tine mentioned, but thii the Chief said wus not possible owing to thc complications in getting substantial evidence against the offenders. He stau*d some of the difficulties principally tbe fact that in such a small town "spotters" are themselves speedily- spotted by those they are out to spot. It has been decided by the Commission that the Chief is to have a free hand, that he is to choose the best men available for his staff, and thut the city council is to be approached with a view to applying u sum of $100 per month to the needs of the Police Chief in enforcing the law aguinsl the undesirable class. Undesirables arriving from the north will be warned to set off by the next steumer if they land here. This is being done, but owing to the ar-'vals of steamers at all odd hours undesirables occasionally land. Copies of the Liquor By-law and other by-laws affecting the moral regime of the city must be obtained by all concerned and the city clerk is to prepare copies for those who apply.

MUST NOT CARRY PISTOL Fear of Personal Violence Not Sufficient Excuse For carrying a concealed pistol Delmont Zarelli was today fined $6 and costs, and thc weapon was confiscated.

They should vary in height, according to the size of the room, and they should never be higher than can be easily reached. If the room is small, they ought not to be higher than four or four and one-half feet, or they will make the room seem smaller than it is. They may line the room entirely or bc placed as the size of the room demands or special need dictates. Take care that you do not get them carefully- built in, and then discover that the door knocks ugainst them as it opens. "Built-in bookcases should have movable shelves, for the obvious reason that ull books are not the same height and it is often convenient to change them about. If the home carpenter is not equal tn fitting adjustable shelves, have the lower shelves farther apart, for there is where the'largest and heaviest books should be put to keep the feeling of weight near the floor. If there is a fireplace, with a niche at each side, build shelves on each side of it. Build them on each side of the window, and place a window seat between. If there are two windows near together, place a desk with shelves over it between them und bookcuses on each side of the windows with window- scats between. Have the cuses turn the corners of the room wherever possible, for this is usually good in effect. "Do not crowd your library walls with pictures unless you should have a set of fine prinls or something quite as exceptional. There should be an air of dignity and quiet about all libraries, whether lurge or small, and this is attained by the use of rcstf 1 colors ubd keeping uwuy from confusion of the eye with pictures und ornaments. Have a pottery bowl or vase for flowers.a plaster cust of which you are particularly fond, and u piece or two of good metal work, either brass or copper. A map of the world and a globe are valuable aids for reference, and should be in every library." DRY GOODS A new line of Ladies' Underwear! Natural wool.

The person who cannot cut this or that, who will not try unfamiliur dishes because she is not sure she would Ike them, who must have certain urticles of food or go hungry, has something yet to learn in the way of table manners. She had better cat at home until she has acquired more adaptability. For such bad manners as these parents are sometimes at fault because they have allowed their children to foster the foolish notion that they cannot eat special dishes. It is a usual thing for a child to have a distaste to certain new articles of food, but not on this account should he be excused from eating them if they are items generally served in the ordinary bill of fare. As, fcr instance, soup and fish, for both of which 1 have known children to declare dislike. Yet if they arc obliged to eat a little of cither one or of any other food they are likely to meet at the family table, the aversion may in time be overcome and the child may end by developing a distinct fondness for the food he once condemned. ALLEGED EXTRAVAGANCE ON CONTRACTS REFUTED Difference Between Engineers of G. T. P. National Transcontinental Commisnion in Regard to Over- break Falls Flat at Investigation. Ottawa, Jan. 16.���Final refutation of the opposition charges of graft and extravagance in connection with the carrying out of the contrabts for the construction of the National Transton- tinental is given in the report of Messrs. Schreiber, Kelliher and Grant, the arbitrators appointed to investigate all differences between the Grand Trunk Pacific's engineers, and the National Transcontinental commission's engineers in regard to classification and "over- break." The total expenditure on the road so far is a little over $80,000,000, of which about half has been spent on cuttings or excavations, etc., where there was a chance for differences of engineering opinion as to classification or "over- break." In the commons last session II might on Lennox and his opposition colleugucs charged that hundreds of thousands of dollars had been wrongfully paid to contractors because of ovcrclassification allowed by the government engeineers.

Paris, Ja . 14.���A woman has been brought before the courts, accused of unlawful practice of medicire, and the case is attracting considerable interest. One of the principal independent wit esses was a celebrated doctor k own by the name of "Th Mage Papus," who, besides his orthodox practice, is much consulte by believers in spiritualism, of which science he is a leading fashionable exponent. The accused, Mme. Lalose, a small but vivacious person, p-ofessed to heal all manner of maladies by the simple laying-on of hands, and the wit' sses she brought, and who came of their own nccord, declared that she ositively performed "miracles." She merely had to say to the deaf "hear," and cured the blind und ihe paralytic at a distance. The presiding judge remarked that he was something like St. Thomas, and there was a genera! disposition to mirth in the court. This feeling, however, yielded to astonishment as the roll of witnesses was called. The police com ciss ry of Asnieres, clothed with all the prestige of oflice, testified thit his wife hud long suffered from an immovable stiff arm. She hid been treated by the best know i doctors, whose names created an impressirn, being household words for skill. Finally she went :o M e. L lose, who only touched her. In the evening sh began to move her arm and the nex, day was quite cured. Another patient waa ronounced by the highest authorities to be hopelessly insane. A few passes over her torch ad were enough, it wbs said, to bri:.g back her reason. The most impressive evidence was that of the Mage I* p s, who said that in old times Kg ptian priests and Hebrew prophets healed the sick and th t for twenty years e had in vain been seeking the secret of their cures. To the ques ion s to whether Mme. Lalose was a hypnotist, Dr. Papus answered no because hypnotism was a well known s ience, but a sludy of a force n t yet defined. "With Mme. Lalose we are in another domain in thai of the mysterious and nknown." $5,000 WHARF ON MASSET INLET SETTLERS APPRECIATE THE ACTION OF DOMINION GOVT. Virago Sound, by thc Whaling company. It has been suggested thut atelephone line be constructed from Virago Sound to the west side of Massett Inlet, thereby permitting lhe residents to send messages to the outside world. At the present time, with only a semi-monthly steamboat service, the residents of Graham Island are not in a position to ascertain information or to send out news of any kind.

(From our Masset correspondent) The appropriation of $5,000, which appears in the estimates of the Dominion House, for the construction of B wharf on Massett Inlet, meets with the approval of the settlers who appreciate the interest taken in the welfare of the community by the representative for the District. The placing of lights at the entrance to Massett Inlet is absolutely noeessury. The attention of the Marine and Fisheries Department is called to the requirements of those engaged in navigating the waters, where no lighthouses or buoys have yet been placed.

Tuesday, Jan. 17 The Financial Outlook for 1911 Writing in the Toronto Globe's annual financial survey for 1911, Lord Stra- thcona warns western municipalities against the danger of leaving too long.appli- calions for loans for improvements. He points out that notwithstanding the uniteadying effect of the elections on the markets, and the dear money of the early fall, that Canadian municipal issues showed themselves to be well favored by the British investor. Thc extent of John Bull's long stocking, when it comes to dipping down for loans for other countries, is indicated by Sir Edgar S|>eyer who computes that it reached the extent of $1)40,000,000 in 1910. Some of this of course came into London from continental agencies, but the net sum subscribed by British investors was not less than $750,000,000. Of this some $200,000,000 found its way to Canada. As regards the outlook for 1911, Sir K.dgar thinks the conditions are all favorable *o active trade, and that it is probable the world's commerce will exceed all previous totals. The factors mainly responsible for the favorable outlook are good credit and a large gold production. The manner in which the borrowing countries have increased their agricultural and mineral output has brought about a feeling of confidence, while the increasing gold output is enabling those countries which need gold to obtain ample for their reserves. Argentina has already a gold reserve against ils note issue of $200,000,000, while Brazil which at one time had a most depreciated note issue, has now accumulated a gold reserve of $100,000,000. Sir Edgar points out that the willingness of Great Britain to lend makes it all the more incumbent on Canadians to permit nothing which in any wuy could impair the confidence and readiness of the British investor to send his money to Canada. Canada should appreciate the paramount necessity of offering only- such securities in the home market as are absolutely good, for the margin which separates caution from fear is a very narrow one.

American Gold in British Elections The aftermath of libel actions threatened by British peers against their rivals who raised the cry of "Yankee dollars" in the recent British general election, lends interest to the follow inn statement of the fortunes which American brides have brought to British piers. Compared with thc few thousand dollars sent to aid the cause of Home Rule, some of tip- big fortunes in "American gold" brought to British peers by their American wive* look very good: Duke of Marlborough married Miss Consuela Vanderbilt $10,000,000 Eighth Duke of Marlborough (late) married Miss Lillian Hammersley.of New York Duke of Roxhurghc married Miss May Goelet, of New York Duke of Manchester married Miss Zimmerman Eighth Duke of Manchester late, married Miss Concuelo Yznaga Earl of Craven married Miss Bradley Martin, of New York Earl of Stafford (late) married Mrs. Cora Colgate Earl of Donoughmore married Miss Grace, of New York Lord CUTIOn married Miss Mary Leiter, cf Chicago Earl of Suffolk married Miss Daisy Leiter, of Chicago Fifth Marquis of Anglesey date; married Miss King, of Georgia Martinis of Dulferin and Ava married Miss Davies, of New York.

The electors ought to organize a search party or elect another man at the nex' provincial election. Nothing more sublime has been witnessed than the way in which the member for Skeena stood ready at duty's call to sacrifice the interests of the constituency he loves so well. There is only one way in which the Premier can make amends and help his trusty follower out. He should change the seat of government from Victoria to I'rince Kupert. It was very fitting of Alderman Smith lo intimate that he will bring in the motion to cut thc city solicitors' salaries. The union musicians at Alderman Smith's theatre who were cut down from the union rate of $35 a week to $21 will appreciate the point. Consistency is a gem.

NEWTON IS ELOQUENT EDITORIAL ALDERMANICS OR ALDERMANIC EDITORIALS In Sonorous Phrase and Carefully Selected Words Prince Rupert's Editor Alderman Introduces Numerous Enquiries-at New Counci' "Words, words, words!" - Hamlet. "Words without thoughts never to heaven goP'���Macbeth. Was it lo heaven, however, that Mayor Manson and the other members of the new city council of P.ince Rupert mental y consigned the words, words, words of Herman Newton at the lirst business meeting of the council last night? It was the fatal mention of "ciiquir* irs" that did it. Alderman Newton is of an enquiring turn of mind. He asked about the electric light plant. He wanted to know how the hydrants were resisting the frost. He wondered if the mains were frozen. He enquired about thi> new auto fire engine. He was concerned about the placing of light (idles on Third avenue. He wants more chairs purchased for the City Hall so that the crowds of citizens attracted by his eloquence may go to sleep in comfort during I is spoo-hi-s in council. Thi* la��t suggestion appealed to the council themselves and more comfortable chairs may be purchased for the aldermen now they know what. t hi y are up against w hen Alderman Newton gets going. Brielly Alderman Newton's contribution to the new council's first meeting wus as follows: First, he wants thc electric i -hi plant hurried up. Second, i he wants the order for the auto lire engine cancelled. bird, he want the fire hydrants kept in working order during frost. Fourth, he wants the electric light poles put in the lanes and not on Third avenue. Fifth, he wants the conditions at the G. T. P. Hospital looked into for the benefit of the Prince Rupert Industrial Association. On this latter point Alderman Newton had a cutting a yard long from the Empire, and was threatening to read it, when Mayor Manson hurriedly awoke to the danger, and said firmly that while communications sent properly through the city clerk to the council would have attention, they could not pay attention to grievances aired only in the newspapers. So Alderman Newton agreed, and held his peace, but said he had a whole lot more enquiries lo make, tAt this a number of the onlookers hurried out.) In regard to Alderman Newton's enquiry about thc fire hydrants and j mains -which is quite an important one, City Engineer DaviB stated that not a single main has been frozen up, and the hydrants will he tested now that the weather iB milder, and steps taken to ensure their being in working order during frost. The other matters mentioned by Alderman Newton will have attention i in committee, and at next council meeting. "Strange as it may seem," said Alderman Pattullo. "If Alderman New- | ton will put his ideas regarding chairs j for thc public in the form of a motion ! I will second it. I think those who I come to see the city's business transacted should be accommodated with chairs." The motion was put that the streets committee see about chairs, and carried.

Maude���Not last night: he telephoned me that it was raining too hard. "Little boy, don't you think you are in great danger on that thin ice?" "How sir?" "Well, you might break through and I get wet, and even if you don't break . through your parents would undoubtedly ] punish you severely if they knew you j went on the pond." "You ain't no guesser, mister; if I break through an' get wet I'll be a hero at home an' get all the sypmathy an' good things in the house." "Why are you sobbing, my little man?" "My pa's a millionaire philanthropist." "Well, well! That's nothing to cry about, is it?" "It ain't, ain't it? He's just promised to give me $5 to spend for Christmas providing I raise a similar amount." AND THE ADS WELL The subject of conversation between the last two sportsmen left up at night in thc smoking-room after a hard day's shooting was the wonderful scent of dogs. "Mine is a marvel. Not long ago I went motoring, far from home. My pointer, although chained up, worked himself out of his collar and found me two hours sftcrward. What d'ye think of that?" "I think you ought to have a bath." Mrs. Slowboy���How is my son getting along at school, professor? Professor���I have great hopes of him, madam great hopes. He's the laziest boy I ever saw. Mrs. Slowboy���Then why do you say you have great hopes of him? Professor���Because if he ever begins to study he's too lazy to stop. WHO RAN THE GAME? Charts Againat Ed. O'Shaughnesey Waa Dismissed On the ground that there was not sufficient evidence to prove that Ed. O'Shaughnessy was actually running the alleged gaming house at the Terminal City Club, Magistrate Carss finally dismissed the charge against O'Shaughnessy. The Magistrate observed that he thought there was evidence to support thc statement that games of chance had been played there, but after some arguments had b -en put forward by thc lawyers���W. E. Fisher, for the defence, ami A. Manson for the prosecution���he dismissed the case as mentioned. ON WITH THE DANCE Wednesday Night Asaembliea in Mclntyre Hall a Success Tomorrow evening another of Prof. Fred Archer's dances will be held in the Mclntyre Hall. From the first these fiances were a great success, and a number of beginners took advantage between 8 and 9 of the opportunity afforded them to pick up the steps of those dcliciously alluring dances which are enjoyed to the full by all after 9 o'clock. Gray's Orchestra supplies the music which Is���it goes without saying- excellent. These enjoyable dances will lie an every Wednesday evening feature too good to miss. U Pantorium Pioneer Cleaners.

Grand Masquerade Ball in the honor of the 12th Anniversary of the Fratern ���I Order of Eagles, February Sth, 1911, in the Kaien Island Club Rooms. $75.00 to be given in prizes. A fine example of how to railroad a by-law through, was given at last night's city council when Alderman Kirkpatrick introduced the by-law to: raise $125,000 for current expenses for the municipal year. The by-law passed its first, and second readings,! was considered in committee us a whole, and passed its third reading in about twenty minutes. Its final adoption I will take place at next meeting. Aldermun Pattulio thought that until the financial statement appeared and they saw how they stood it was early enough to set the sum of $125,000 for the by-law. The Mayor remarked that the sum was well within the anticipated assessment of $18:1,000 D which it was based, and besides .1 the money need not be borrowed at once.

The Baptist church was last night the seine of a pretty function. The Rev. Mr. McLeod presided over a social gathering, the purpose of which was the renewing of old acquaintances and the making of new ones. A proper disregard for frigid etiquette and an assumption of youthful abandon conspired most successfully to have the objects of the function realized, so that the new comrades parted like the members of one family. The early portion of the evening was devoted to thc tendering of a musical programme. The principals who contributed were Miss C. Barker, violin soloist; Mr. J, Davey, tenor; Little Miss Grey, who rendered two dainty recitations delightfully; and Mr. Miller, cornet soloist. The latter part of the evening was taken up with a series of bright games after which supper was served. The whole ceremony was characterized by a sincere good fellowship and was greatly appreciated by all The proceedings closed with the singing of the beautiful hymn "God be With You Till We Meet Again." tti ****4t******Mmm*.t>f .. a aa��a I Insurance Is your HOUSE Insured?
