Bammelmeyer, of Rossland, arrived In Silverton, accompanied by M. Newman, J. Anderson, J. Strom, W. Kiel and A. Johnson,miners, and it wm soon learned that work would begin at once on the Emily Edith. No time was lost in purchasing provisions end making other arrangements preparatory to an early start for the mine the following morning. No trouble wee experienced In making the ascent to the mine, and six men are et present engaged in development work, and the force will be gradually increased from time to time as fast as room can be made for tbem, and work will be carried on without any let np until the property la thoroughly developed. Work on this property will lie watched with keen interest by mining men in general, as some very high grade ore baa been encountered, and the claim is looked .upon a* one of the promising propertiee io this mineral belt. Mr. Bemmelmeyer baa become quite heavily interested in mining property around 8ilv*rton, having acquired interacts in the Silverton Boy, Silver Standard, Giant, W. II. B. and several other promising properties besides the Emily Edith, nnd he Intends opening op all of ell them during Uie present year. He is a thorough mining man and aa he has ample capital at hla command, he dees not intend that any property which he acquires title to shall remain undeveloped. - Mr. Bammelmeyer has shown bis faith in Silverton'* mineral resources by backing up his judgment by already investing large sums money in purchasing properties, and no doubt to thus doing, will be the direct cause ot bringing other capitalist* this way who will atoo aid let the devetoresee* -ol valuable propertiee. persons living at a distance from wy of these offices {n (procuring their parcel*.

On arrival ol the packages the postal officer must affix to each parcel a red label with bis memorandum thereon directing bow the parcel is to be dealt with by the customs. In 54 places, chiefly In Manitoba, the North West Territoritles and British Columbia, postmasters are authorised to collect customs duties on postal packages. Duties, however, to bo collected at the s points must first be assessed at the nearest part or subport. PESTITUTE WORKMEN. On Tuesday of this week four men who had been employed for some time in Kazan's camp on the Crow's Nest Railway made application to the government agent here (or food and lodging. They stated that they were destitute. They had been working on the railway for eome.time, but found from month to month that they were getting deeper into debt with the contractor. Questioned M to how that could be, they said that though they wers being paid tl 60 per day, they had to pay $4-60 per week for board, and this with the charges for necessary articles of wearing apparel, and the number ol days they were idle during the month, they could not get square with their employer. The men were (ed and lodged over night iu the jail. The following morning tbey were given breakfast, and took the road for Goat river, hoping thus to reach West Kootenay where they thought tbey might obtain employment. Tbeee men were all stout fellows who looked capable and willing to do a full day'a work. The fact is becoming apparent that when the press of work on the Crow's Nest Railway begins to slacken some thousands of men without means of subsii- tence will be thrown upon the charity of Southern British Columbia,—Prospector.

Williamson and Byron have began development work thin week on the Cracker Jack, which joins the Fldelty, and the owners think tbey have another as rich a bonansa ae the Fidelity, and tbey intend opening it op M rapldry as possible. TEXAS BOY FRACTION. Work wm started this week on the TexM Boy Fraction. A tunnel will be driven io I )0 feet, and it the property shows op Mis expected by the owners, the mountain side will be penetrated soother 100 feet. This property la owned by Messrs. J.N. Nuun end J. E. Barrett, and adjoins th* Cascade on the south. BOUND LOGIC. E. J. Field, Into manager of the Wonderful mine, la quoted by the Sandon Review, as saving; "There is no limit to the amount of good to be accomplished by intelligent organization on the part of mining men such aa la contemplated by the Northwest Mining Association. There must be complete aud hearty co-operation between the mine- owners and employee, to that each wid feel that the benefits resulting to them are commensurate with the outlay involved oo their part. To be effectual such a plan should embrace an efficient and hospital service, which could be maintained by the diversion to the association's treasury ol the monthly payments ol one dollar which are now being collected from the wcge-earner and paid to outside hospitals lor service which In many instances are far from satisfactory. Life and accident insurance, to be furnished at actual coat to members of the association, would follow in doe course and an endowment (nnd should be established for those who may pass a certain age limit, and inch employee ae may be permanently disabled while engaged In mining. Such an organisation can readily secure proper and needed legislation for the benefit of IU members. Legislation cot*Id be reduced to a minimum and an effectual stop placed upon the absorption A mineral lands by railroads and otlier corporations." POSTAL PARCELS. The new regulation t governing the treatment ol peckagea and parcels arriving .in Canada through pottofiioes went into effect on January 1st. Heretofore all such packages have been sent to the 57 offices known as exchange offices throughout the Dominion, necea- LAW8 ARE FAIR TO AMERICANS. Washington, Jan 4.—The second issue of the daily consular reports from the bureau of foreign commerce of the state department Is devoted to a report -from United S'.atea Consul Smith at Victoria, upon the lawa of British Columbia relative to stock companies and trading corpora linos, Mr. Smith rays tho question arose as to whether obstaolei were being placed in the way ot corporation* of the United States operating in Canadian territory. Hesars investigation shows that such is not the case; the laws are the eaine for cititen* of the United States aa tor residents of the province. In order to prevent fraud, however, regulations have been recently passed by the provincial parliament requiring an official representative of the foreign corporation to be a resident of the province. CITY HALL DISASTER AT LONDON Thirty Killed and the List cf Wounded Fully One Hundred and Fifty. Last Monday evening a large crowd xathered at the city hall in London, Ont., to Helen to the successful as well as the unsuccessful municipal candidates. The hall was old, but wm auppoted to be sound, though it had not been used for some time. As the meet ing progressed the tremendous audience became enthused and indulged in a good deal ol applauding of candidates by stamping of the feet, which it is supposed to have loosened the beams, and at 9 o'clock part ol the tfoor over the city engineer's office gave may, and a couple ot hundred people were precipitated into the room below, where on them large beams fell, and, worse than all, the massive iron safe and a steam coil, which crushed and pinned scores ol unfortunate people. The scene in the hall wm indescribable. People went half road trying to get out. The cry of fire started, and the police and firemen were quickly on the spot, and as sooo as the horrible situation wm realised the services ol both were used in carrying the dead and wounded to the hospitals. Large crowds gathered in the streets, where the contusion and excitement was terrible, nobody knowing who might not be among the dead or injured, who were not all secured for two hours. It le claimed that those instantly killed will number fully thirty persons, while the number of wounded is close to a 160, many of whom cannot recover from their injuries. The Reoo mine Is at prsMnt shipping II tons per day. The Le Rol smelter at Northport is espectod to blow in next week.

New Year's day passed off quietly in Silverton. W. C. Klnnoa is visiting cities on the • oast this week. Peter Llndquist wm over from New Denver Thursday. J. McMaster, ot Revelstoke, wm in town Wednesday. L. Chisbolm and A. Smith, Sandon- ites, were Silverton visitors Wednesday. Rev. Powell and wife spent the fore part of the week with friends at Sandon, Miss Agnes Barclay 'waa seriously ill the tore part of the week, but is now convalescing. The SavxBToxux force is placed under obligation to W. 8. Clark for their New Year's dinner. Ed White and Alf Wilds are camped t.. the opposite side of the lake, devoting their time to hooting and fishing. A. W. Maxwell returned from 8andon this morning, and will stay with Silver- ton, as he finds no place like it in the Slocan. Grant Thorburn paid the city of Nelson a brief visit the fore part of the week. He repoits business brisk in that metropolis. Foreman Lewis wm down from the Vancouver mine Wednesday. He wears a broad smile these dare, but is too busy to tarry long with his friends. J. Tin ling, wbo has been spending the holidays with friends and relatives in Western Washington, returned home Thursday. He reports a pleasant time. Work on the Lakeview is progressing favorably, the tunnel now being in nearly 150 feet, and it is expected that the lead will be topped within the next 60 feet. New Year's day wm celebrated at Eureka, a small mining camp near Grand Forks, with a shooting tonrna- njent in which <hree 4uea were badly wounded. J. Tail was down trqm the Frisco Saturday and Sunday, and expressed hint- sell as being well pleased with the development of that property. He returned to the mine Monday. A. A. Webb was up to the Fisher Maiden this Week, cleaning the mow off the roots of the buildings. Mr. Webb is confident that work will be resumed on this valuable property In the near future. Rev. Booth held services at the school house Thursday evening. He is an able speaker, and merits better congregaliona than that which has greeted him on former occasions. He will hold services every Thursday evening. K. L. Barnett, Provincial land surveyor, of Rossland, arrived in town Thursday evening with a force of men and Is making the survey ot the Emily Edith. Application will be made tor a Crown grant aa soon aa th* survey is completed Purser McDonald, who baa been enjoying a six-week'e lay-off has returned from the coeat, and ia once more at hit poet of duty on the steamer Slocan. He is a general favorite with the traveling public, and all his friends will ;be anxious to know as to whether trip extended aa for as San Francisco. J. A. Campbell, wbo has had charge of H. Cleaver's meat market in thia city since it waa first opened last fall, will bid adieu to Silverton friends and leaves for greener fields and pastures new. Mr. Campbell ia a hale fellow well met, and has a host ol friends here who will wish him success where e're be may go. The reaction In business which usually takes place after the gayetiee ol the holidays has been noticeable to a gtMter extent thao usual the past week, as the men who came down from the hills have returned to their work, and in some instances the forces at the mines havo been increased, which has lett but few idle men iu town. .. •-. ■ i i < by the Canadian Pacific company on ore shipments from this place to Nelson, which leaves the rate under the new tariff sheet $S.20 against $6.00 prior to the completion of the Slocan Crossing road. The rate to Kaslo has also been reduced from $6.00 per ton to $4.00. Mine owners should be truly thankful for these email favors, as it means a saving cf many hundred dollars annually to the shippers. The Comstock shipped 90 tons ot ore to the Tacoma smelter Thursday and the Vancouver 40 tons to the Evorett smelter, via the C. P. R. The Vancouver has 40 tons at the wharf. The roads are now In excellent condition-for hauling down ore from these two mines and shipments will continue all winter at abort the present rate of from four to five cars per week. Fi F. Liebscher, Silverton's genial' knlgbt of the scissors and cloth, has purchased a cottage-; cook stove, and other paraphernalia needed for housekeeping, aod says his happiness would be complete if he could find one ot the gentler eex who would ass! ,t him In assuming the responsibilities of caring for his home. This is a rare opportunity for om of Silverton's f iir daughters to secure a comfortable home. Foi full particulars enquire at the tailor shop. Word was received this morning thai D.Dunn had died at his homo io New Denver, shortly after daylight. Mr, Djnn waa well and favorably known throughout this portion of British Colombia, having came west at the time of the construction of the Canadian Pacific, having been a prominent contractor on the same. Last summer Mr. Dunn erected the wharfs at Rosebery, * New Denver, Silverton and Slocan aod has a host friends io all the towns along the lake, who will extend condolence to the bereaved family ot the deceased. The steamer Slocan made a special to this point Monday with a car load of lumber for J. A. McKinnon A Co. The lumber will be used in the erection of a building 22x32, adjoining their atore. Which will be occupied by J the postoffice. The office will be moved from the storeroom as soon as the new quarters are ready for occupany, and will be fitted np oa a mora extensive scale, Mneare. McKinnon & Co. an determined that the people Of Silverton shall have first-class mail facilities, so far as lies within their power and are deserving of great praise lor their enterprise in thia direction. Considerable annoyance has been experienced the past week by Silvertooitee Who have been accustomed to fresh meats three times a day, owing to a change in the ownership of the market at this place and New Denver. H. Cleaver has sold out his interests in both chops to P. Burns, wbo will reopen the Silverton market next Monday. Mr. Burns practica'ly controls the meat trade ot the entire iCootenay country, baring shops in gll the principal towns. It is not known at the present time who will have charge of the market at thla point. FELL M_ FEET, Cspt Hall, Mamger »f the k Iw, is Instantly I3M. in mi raw luu ww. Stoma (lettlBK Draws to a Solid ■«*!• tseas ■Saais - Britain's Mlasral Wealth. Rowland, Jan. 5.—Oapt Wm. Hall, the superintendent of the Le Roi, wm killed nt 6:20 thia evening by falling down the wain shaft from the surface to the 600-foot level. The body wm terribly injured by the fall, and the remains were hardly recognizable. The captain went underground about 4 o'clock this afternoon on his usual inspection of the mine. Arriving at the 600-foot level safely, he examined the progress being made io extending the shaft to the 700-foot level, and subsequently made a tour through the west drift at the 600-foot level. He then climbed into the west skip and wm raised to the surface. A moment later he stepped off the skip. What happened then will never be exactly known. The only witness was the engineer on the duty at the time. He Mys that instead of getting off on the floor of the shaft house Oapt Hall stepped upon a ten-inch beam that separated the compartments. He evidently slipped aod was precipitated dowo the mine nearly 700 feet The body is southed beyond recognition. Au inquest will be held. According to the New Denver's correspondent to the Spokesman-Review, tho Vancouver mine of Silverton is shipping more ore at the present time than all the other mines combined throughout the Slocan division—350 tons per day. This correspondent, whoever he may be, apparently has but little regard for the truth, a« tbe Vancouver la shipping 80 to 100 tons per week, instead 860 tons Per day. Agent Clark has been notified that a Sandon will hold Its first municipal election on tbe 22d Inst. The Idaho aod Ahoo concentrator at Three Forks is now running steadily, It is said that Genelle Bros, eaw mill at Nakusp ia running full time, with plenty of orders ahead. J. M. Harris has purchased Black's hotel at Sandon. Mr. Harris now owns three ot the leading hotel buildings in that mining metropolis. Ghaa. Borene, tbe Whitewater hotel keeper who waa charged with assaulting and thua attributing to the death of Albert Ash ton, was discharged, aa the evidence was not sufficient to warrant in binding him over for trial. Messrs. J. C. Eaton of Spokane, Wash., aod W. E. Price of Oakland, Call., have sold their interee s—one- third Mch—in the Whitewater group to the ' London aud British Columbia Gold Fielda company, limited, $150,000 having been paid on Friday of last week. The'mine wm sold on the basis of|a valuation of $450,000. This does.not look as though English capital bad lost faith toanv great extent in Slocan lead- silver mines. For some months past the Whitewater has been shipping about 200 tone of ore per week, end baa been paying regular monthly dividends. I reduction ut $1.80 per ton t)M been made and It be creoaetod A PECULIAR WILL. One of the moat remarkable wills ever filed in the surrogate, New York, iathat of Henry Morehouse Tabor, offered for probate last Tuesday. In spite of the fact that Mr. Tabor wm president aod treasurer of the board of trustees ol the First Presbyterian church, in the opening clause of his will be denounces ell religion as a sham and as having Its origin in superstition. He requested that no servicM be held over tho body, ACTIVITY IN THE SLOGAN. Au inside viaw of a mining camp's working ia \% better criterion of its state of Development importance and value thao the rush to it of adventurers who hope to reap where they have not sown. The following testimony from an outsider will sufficiently convey the fact thnt the mine-owners of. the Slocan are not idle, "Although one hears much less talk about the Slocan country thia year than formerly,! bad rather take my chances io that rid. mineral country than in the much boomed Klondyke," remarked W. A 0. Weymouth, a mining man of Portland, who has just returned from a long stay iu the Slocan. "There is more work going on io the Slocan mines nnd prospects this year thao ever before,1' continued Mr, Weymouth, "although the towns scattered through the Kootenay hills are undoubtedly quiet and business is not nearly so good as it was a year ago. Thia is no doubt due to the fact that the floating population is so much smaller. There is no Ihnger a rush to the Kootenay ot prospectors and adventurer*. Those who go have business there, and matters are consequently settling down to a solid basis. A great many mines will pay hand some dividends to their owners this season, and taking all io all, I regard the great silver belt that stretches north from Ainsworth to Sandon aa the best mining country on the American continent."—Kootenaiau. only 10,168 tons having been produced in 1896, whereas the output in 1863 wm 210,000 tons. Flint mining still survives at Brandon, in Suffolk; the produce of a few shallow mines worked in a most primitive fashion suffices to supply the gradually diminishing demand for gun flints, which are exported to savage countries. Referring to gold ore, the report points out that compared with the yield of the colonies and many coon- tries the amount 'fit gold obtained in Britain ia insignificant; neverthelen mineral vein* in North Wales have from time to time furnished considerable quantities of rich, auriferous quart*. Io 1896 the five mines in Merionethshire produced 2,706 tone of ore, from which 1,351 J ounces ot gold, having a value of £5,035, were obtained. This, however, is a much lower output than that of the previous year. The principal iron-producing districts at the present time are Cleveland in North Yorkshire, yielding over 5,000,000 tons annually, and Cumberland and North Lancashire, with an output of over 2,000,- 000 tons. The Cleveland ore is an earthy carbonate, containing about 30 per cent of metal, while the red hematite of the two other counties yields 60 to 60 per cent The total quantity of iron ore obtained from the mines and quarries last year was 12,500,000 tons.—Mining Critic, i BRITAIN'S MINERAL WEALTH. An account ot the quantity and values ot the minerals obtained from tho mines, quarries, blue books, etc., in the United Kingdom during the year 1896 is given in a blue book tost issued, and which will interest many people in British Columbia. In 1896 the total output of coal wm 196,361,270 tons; ot this amount 9,300 tons were obtained from open quarries. The seams worked in England vary from 11 to 12 inches to 30 feet in thickness, and in Scotland seams of canncl coal only six inchea in thickness ate being worked. The only mine worked tor cobalt and nickel ore is io Flintshire, and after being idle for several years it ha* lately been reopened. The mine affords an instance of the recurrence of the mineral absolane with red clay in irregular cavities in the carboniferous limestone. Copper mining is rapidly decreasing in importance in Britain, BRITIAN'S SEA POWER. British diplomacy sometimes seems a bit alow, but British fleets Svldom pro- ciastinate when there is work to do. Great Britain gave Europe a lesson in sea power when the "flyiog squadron," able to scope with any foreign fleet, wm mobilised in the channel without drawing a ship off the foreign stations, and stood ready to meet an enemy at My point at borne or abroad. Now she gives Asia a lesson in the sudden appearance in Co roan waters of seventeen ships, able to meet any hostile combination and able, with the aid of thirty Japanese ships, to dominate tbe whole .northern Pacific coast of Axis, to shot up the Russian ships io port and to cut off French and German reinforcement. This celerity of action and alert pre- ' paredness for hostilities always has beso the secret of British successes at sea. More oo the ocean than on the land victory is with the commander who concentrates his force at tbe right time and place. Napoleon died in exile because be could not fight on two elements si once, aod bad no naval duplicate suddenness with which this fleet looms up io the Yellow Sea that recalls the appearance ol Nelson iu tbe Bay of Biscay when Villeneuve thought he wm cruising in the West Indies. That wm the curtain raUter for the world drama ot Trafalgar. One must reflect upon the conditions of modern naval warfare to realise the Importance of England's advantage, assuming that she has a complete understand! ng with Japan. Steam ironclads cannot keep the sea and fight far from tbe naval bases, like old wooden sailing ships. The very lite ol a modern ship depends upon ports ol coaling aod refitting near at band. Russia liM one such port at Vladivostok, but Germany h»s none in Asia. Great Britain has several ot herowo within a few day's steaming, and all tbe resources of Japan are at ber disposal within a few hours. It any - thing could make the theatrical German crusade more ridiculous than the imperial rbedomontade which ushered it in, it is that Prince Henry muat buy coal at a half doseo British ports on his way to China. Not only Is the British fleet on the ground before the German fleet starts, but the latter is absolutely dependet non British help to make ita Journey. The Russians are little (better off, because the English and Japanese could shut them off in Port Arthur snd Vladivostok, and work their will in Cores and Pekln. Tbia move opens a new phase in the game of Europeanlsing China. Great Britain's protest against tbe Idlsplace- ment of British administrators in Cores is an earnest of the way in which she will meet the developing planslfor Rus- sianicing'the Chinese administration. British policy apparently is .to tahe no part in the partition ot China, >ither to share it or prevent it, but to require tho most absolute guaranties for her trade and to protect it against unfriendliness of administration ot any part of the em« plre In whioh her commercial interests are greater than all other foreigners. To this end she will menace Russia, oppose Germany, support Japan, exhaust the resources of diplomacy, aod, if at last needful, v ill fight. This is tbe no-' tloe she has just served upon Europe.-* New York Commercial Advertiser. s| I Jl^lBMrtkaWhViV' fgpwui.wi> lanMau **mvt*?., jtg»w:tfar *. iwk.

"A disappointment connected with something near your heart, and—let me eeel" She tuned the cards up meditatively on tbe shining oak table and put. her hand* to her head In a pretty affectation of wisdom. '■'/' "That means love," laying her finger en the Ave of hearts, "eternal love—the love of some woman. It looks like an old friend, and she runs in hearts, 1 think. Yes, she is quite light dan you Place herr ... , "As far as the coloring goes," he laughed. ' 'I know any number of light women—yourself, for instance."' "Oh, I'm not in itl My hair Is too yellow. This one is more of the demi- blond; something like Hiss Maitlaml— cronse hair and blue eyes." "My dear girl, Miss Maitluml Isn't a hloud at all. If you Can't do better than that for me, I'll throw np the whole oonoern." She smiled and ran off a few more eard*. counting every third one in quite a professional manner. "Well, if it's not Miss Maitland," shaking her head, ' 'you will have to fill m the name yourself. There is the aos W spades. Thai's bad luck and a death and— Oh, there's your wish I Have you «»sde a wishr" He shook his heed. "You didn't tell me." "Well, I tell yon now. Make it right **ay, and a good one, too, for I beliove »* s going to come true." "But," he protested, leaning forward and resting his arms on the table, "if I make such an important one I want a guarantee. Are you prepared to give it "Don't be absurd, Jack; this is oerf. •us. Now, wish something good." 4tvj;i teU yon wb.Jj.lt ia?" .. . "No, "• dbdbtffilly. "You don't nave to, but you can if you want to." ••Well—J -will toll you if I get it Now, mind, this is very important "• "Select three cards then. Does it con- earn a woman?" "Yen" "I might have known it Is she light or dark?" "That would be telling." "Oh, you are too provoking!" petulantly picking up the cards. "It would serve you right if I said you didn t get your old wish at all." "But you won't do that?" "Be still. I will if yon don't let go of my bauds. Seel You are making me drop all tbs cards." "Nonsense! I'll help you pick them np. Just'teli me if I get my wish." "Well, I'll see. There's that ten of diamonds, and the deuce, and—ah, tbe aos of hearts I You will have it, sure,, but there is a little disappointment just at first I see—dear me. Jack I What are y in doing? Let go my bands." "Not until you nave given me a guarantee for my wish." "What do you mean?" "I mean—oh, well, you have known it all along. You are my wish. No, no, don't move. Come, dear, be serious with me for once." "But I don't want to be serious," she cried, trying to draw away from him. "You have spoiled all my fortune. Look! Here I see a gift coming." "What do I care for the cards or anything else in the world but you? Come, Nell I Qive me au answer. You must have seme feeling of kinduess in your heart for me, your old friend," "That's it," she whispered faltering- ly, for the first time letting her eyes meet his. " We ere snob old friends. I have known you all my life—I —" rubbing her hand on the table nervously, "I am fonder of yon than almost any one,, but bow can I tell if that is love? Jack, dear, can't we go on in the old way? I don't want to marry." Her fingers closed pleadingly. '' Why should wo jpoil it all by getting married?" Hs made a quick, impatient gesture. I "Oh, yesl I know it is different with men, but I would be contented to live on just aa we are for years. Why, seel We would never know what it was to tire of each other. We would not have all the romance brushed off our love by the monotonous'intimacy of married life. We would have nil of thr delight with none of tho despair. I don't know why marriage should be regarded as the height and pinnacle of earthly bliss. It seems to mo it is the one great institution that destroys love." She gave a restless sigh and let her chin sink into the soft palms of her bands. Tbe pink light from tho lamp fell upon her yellow hair, where it lay in babyieh- rings on her forehead. He stood looking at her a moment, bis heart smothered with pain and longing and love. • Then he leaned slowly forward and took both her hands from her face and bold them in the firm clasp Of his "Nell, dear," he said softly, "you talk this way because yon don't know I what love ia why, do yon suppose for a moment that a mere pleasant companionship would satisfy a man Wbo loved you? He would be only half a man to accept what you suggested. As for me, I cannot go on with our friendship. I will not take a crust when I have asked for bread. Yon cannot help it dear, and I must drop out of your life and live my own as best I may." He dropped her hands, and, turning away, began to finger mechanically the Uttle stri ig that regulated tbe lamp until the flame began to flicker and Anally went out. "I beg your pardon. I have a match. I can light it again," be muttered has- tily. . She watched Rim in silence as he struck a liglst ar* with a steady hand once more sent ■ a soft glow over the room. ' Her eyes traveled to his face, with tho light shining full upon it It was ' Strangely still. She felt a peculiar little fluttering sensation in her throat. "Jack," she whispered falteringly. He turned in a sudden passion, and catching both her hands drew her near to him—so near that his white faoo was almost touching hers. Sbo did not move, but a deep flush crept over bis tanned cheeks, and his arms tightened convulsively. The force of bis clasp crushed and hurt her. His face came nearer, nearer. Their breaths mingled. Then, with'a sharp exclamation, he loosened his hojd—so quickly, so suddenly, that she almost fell backward. "Forgive me," he muttered hoarsely. Don't speak to me. Good night. .Say good night to your mother too." He pulled aside tho curtain with a rough hand and stepped-into the hall. I She could hear him getting into his coat ■ Her hands vrero still fingering the cards. From the force of habit she turned three up. Her eyes fell upon them as they lay I under the lamplight. A mistake—he was getting his cane now. A—the door wns opening—a ' heartache. Sbo felt the cool night wind on her neck and turned slightly. Then . there was tho Bound of the closing door echoing through the silent house—n • mistake. ., . | . Her eyes clung to the cards. They seemed to mock her. Sho stretched her arms out blindly toward the door nnd tried to coll his name, hut her lips did not move. Then in a frenay of pain she scattered the cards on tho table. Her eyes foil suddenly upon pne. Sho snatched it recklessly from the pack, and rushing into the hall flung the door wide open. "Jackl Jack I" sho panted. He wsb half way down tho steps, and as he paused and turned toward her, nho impulsively threw tho card nt his feet Be stooped wouderingly, and raising it , held it up to the light , It wns tho flvp of hearts.

Lieutenant Olyn, the young guardsman who recently - encountered , a "ghost" in Windsor castle, continues to insist that his eyes did not deceive him, and, judging from tho details of his ex- ueiience which he gravely gives to all Inquirers, it is more than probable thnt he is quite right, at least so far as regards his assertion that he "saw something. '•' It is easy to see something almost anywhere, and in Windsor castle there is a large n-unber of people who may well have.littie affairs" of their own which their duty as royal servitors prevents tbom from attending to except in ways as mysterious as possible. Be that as it may, Lieutenant Olyn courageously, perhaps indiscreetly, declares: First, that he was sitting quietly in the castle library, improving his mind by a perusal of "The History of Dorsetshire;" second, that, glancing up from this far from exciting volume, he saw a' Woman in black, with black lace on' her head and falling to her shoulders, who passed noiselessly across the room and disappeared in a corner that was out of his range of view. This is all there was to the apparition, and the lieutenant—wisely enough —would have thought nothing more of tho episode had not an attendant come in soon after to close the library. Lieutenant Olyn told the man that thero was a lady in the inner room. The . servant investigated. There was no lady. And the chief librarian, who was then summoned, immediately declared that the young man had seen the specter of (jucen Elizabeth. Lieutenant Olyn was willing to let.it go at that, and the story has deeply impressed everybody in England except a few cynics. Tho dean of Windsor took pains to get all the details, "several members of the royal family" have interviewed the guardsman, and tbe papers have given much space to the occurrence. Meanwhile, doubtless, some young woman is Mossing the superstitious, tendency of her fellow countrymen, mill it's not impoe- S. bio that some young mhn is equally pleased at it.—New York Time*.

'No the Lord's Dsy Act was passed long before the corporations gained their present standing in the community, but the spirit of the law was no doubt that it should apply to corporations as ell ai individuals. The chief ground open which tbe courts held that the law could not apply to corporations was that that the act did not contain any provisions for punishment, except that of imprisonment and of course, corporations could not be imprisoned, Tbe present bill therefore provides for a maximum fine of $400 for corporations breaking the law.
