Mayor Houston and John A Gibson, of Nelson, are in Ottawa interviewing duty on aad excitemets is provided by tho able committee. The amount of money subscribed by the citizens will be sufficient to reward liberally the winners of the various events and these amounts together with what has been suhsciibed for the grading and improving of our street for tlio occasion, shows tho hearty manner iu which interest in the celebration has been token by all classes of Silverioniuns. That tho citizens of our neighboring towns will embrace this opportunity of visiting the silver town of Slocan Lake is fully expected by us, and that the natural beauty of the town combined with tlie gloriousness of the da> will be impressed upon our visitors, i? one ol the looked for consequences ot the visit. As Bobby Burns bus written, not exactly about our town but what is very applicable : **To see it is to love it, And love out it forever; For Nature made what it is, And ne'er made sic anithcr." Thc pro-rrani for lbs sports of the day will be as folrow»: In the morning will take place the hunt races, conaistii.g of a double ard stogie scull rai o and acanoc race; swimming and aquatic sports: In the afternoon in the ordar named will occur the following; 10J\ard JtMi. 50 yard prospectors' race. 11)0 yard hurdle rsce.

When it is said that upwards of $500.00 «il! be given in cash prizes among the contestants in the above, it will ho seen that competition should be keen in all the events, and the interest of our visitors consequently increased. The liberal actiqne of the railways in granting a single fare from all Kootenay points to Silverton. and making all tick* ets i?ood from the 2,!rd to the 20;h, inclusive, will he appreciated and taken advantage of by all. Ollicial Programs will bo distributed shortly by the BtLVlBTOSIaN containing all uecosssiy information, und tho secretary, R. O. Matheson, will ftirnihh whatever further information should bo required. SUICIDE. Last Friday George Cooper committed suicide iu Nelson by stabbing himself in the tongue. Cooper, it appears, was in the habit of inflicting sonie injary on himself in order to gain admission to some hospital, nnd it is thought that this was his idea in giving himself tlio wound that caused his death.

Tbe song probably Is enough to drive anyone to drink. When the ocean Is not big enough to accommodate our new nary any longer without crowding, we will buy another ocean, that's all. Tbat Hamburg astronomer who claims to have discovered a second moon must have used an unusually large glass—a "schooner," perhaps. conflict, and It Is where the commercial spirit runs highest that the talk of wnr Is loudest. The armaments of the great commercial powers have never been so large either relatively or absolutely ns to-day, but this Is not enough, and to England's special call for $120,000,000 for more war ships, France echoes $100,000,000, Russia $70,000,000, (.Oft. many quite as much, aud the United States anywhere from $50,000,000 up In special regular army nnd navy bills. Recent statistics prove that tbe consumption of whisky throughout the West Is steadily decreasing. Tbat shows what became of the air ship. American bicycles have become so popular In Germany tbat German manufacturers are hunting for methods to keep Americans out of tbe market. We are constantly told that "Spain has great pride." It Is fortunate that she has. She doesn't seem to be overstocked with anything else, except lt Is diabolism. The modern folding bed and the sensational newspaper correspondents are both employed for lying purposes, but tbe similarity ends right tbere. Tbe bed abuts up occasionally.

A poet In the London Spectator has excited tbe derision of the EnglUh speaking world by rt*_arklng "I try to remember tbe future." Yet bow many people bave suffered disaster by carelessness In the matter of futures. An Eastern advertiser prints a picture of a campaign rooster over an advertisement, saying: "This Is the hen tbat laid tbe eggs that we sell 16 for 25 cents a dozen." Tbat advertiser should be arrested for a fraudulent use of tbe male. Nothing cnn be more grnteful to the American people than the complete u na nl in Hy of the testimony borue by all wbo have visited Havana to thu fidelity and efficiency displayed by Consul General Lee In the disclinrge of his delicate and responsible duties.

She probable will do a fine male order business. Oscar Wilde is undeniably a wit, even though he may be wicked. "How are English prisoners treated?" some one asked him after bis own release. "Why," he responded, "England treats her prisoners so badly that she does not deserve to have any." r Tbere Is a bad atate of affairs lu Cleveland. Ohio. The Plain Dealer reports a man ns saying: ".My cigar last night cost me a dollar." "How so?" queried his friend. "I smoked It nt home, and my wife was sure the gns was leaking and telephoned for a plumber." A bachelor philosopher remarks tbnt "no man ever wants to kiss a girl after he has once seen her bold a nickel the conductor has given her for change he tween her teeth, while she gets her purse open," and be further Intimates that such a girl Is only fit to kiss a pug dog. Of course bachelors are not always responsible critics. A little girl In a New York school •creamed at the sight of a mouse. The children became panic-stricken aud rushed screaming out of tbe room, the teachers ordered a fire drill, a fire alarm was rung in, distracted parents fought to eater the building and save their children from the supposed flames. And all for one small mouse. Rash Is the man that dares to laugh at the feminine fear of a mouse! With the return of the cycling season when century runs by organized clubs are of dally occurrence, the question of permitting women to take part In these long-distance trips is again discussed. It Is maintained that century runs have become athletic competitions, such as require the utmost physical endurance on the part of tbe riders, and that eou Btltutlonally a woman Is not sufficiently strong for such a fatiguing test. Distinguished medical authorities pronounce the task of covering so grent u distance as a hundred miles in a day awheel exceedingly harmful, on account of the prolonged nervous nnd physlenl strnln Involved, for which women rurely possess the requisite physique, and for other rensons thnt physicians only can property appreciate. There are few organized runs of a hundred miles In which some of the participants do uot fall lo complete the century. This being true of men, It Is by so much tlie more evident that women should refrain from the practice. Aside from the Injurious physical results that attend century rhliug by women, the question presents another view even more Important, that of (he propriety of women engaging lu sueti runs. The example of wonieu at tending the ordinary open century run. iu which the proportion of the parttcl- pant! Is rarely less than lifty men to one woman, who rides generally without escort from early morning to late night, in the common ruck, is not calculated to elevate cycling, particularly among women. Rather It litis a tendency to degrade the siiort. The nei es- sary or usual incidents nttendlug ecu tury runs are not conducive to the cultivation of feminine graces and should receive the stamp of disapprovnl by tlie cycling public. Resolutions condemning tbe practice are being considered by bicycle organizations. If women lnck tbe good sense nnd good taste to determine this matter for themselves, the men should determine It for them. _______________________________ I water supply is from a. ditch 17 miles long, with n capacity of about 3000 miner's inches. The ditch connects with Pulley's and Bootjack lakes. The former holds 304,000,000 cubic feet, equal to 140.- 741 miner's Indies, and the latter 102,- 000,000 cubic feet, equal to 75,000 miner's inches. As those lakes do not give Sufficient water for a season's work, they are now bringing in another ditch from Mooreheaii, at a cost of over $100,000. The reservoir site on Moorehead lake is extremely favorable for storing large quantities of water. An earthen dam 485 feet long, or 50 feet extreme height, and containing 50,000 cubic yards of embankment, will retain a reservoir of water 35 feet in depth, covering an area of 020 acres, and will hold 550,000,000 cubic feet of water, equal to 254,029 miner's inches or 127 days' water of 2000 miner's inches daily. The drainage area, ia sufficient io fill the reservoir. The water from the reservoir will be delivered at the mine by a ditch 10. miles long, tlie dimensions of whieh aro 11 feet top, 5 feet bottom, 3 feet depth, grade 0 feet per mile, capacity 2500 miner's inches of water. lloNton nnd "tin n tn mi. Tlie directors have decided to change the state of incorporation for the Jloston New York, May 1.—Discoveries have been made on the captured Spanish steamer Panama which makes it very Improbable that she will ever be returned to Spain, whatever disposition may be made of the Buena Ventura and other prizes taken, says Uie Key West correspondent of (lie Herald. The prize commission has discovered 200 new Mauser rifles and a largo consignment of swords and bayonets, besides a quantity of fixed ammunition for the Panama's 4 14 pounder guns, which sho might have used to blow her captor, the Mangrove, out of the water, but did not The Panama's captain had refused to admit that his cargo included any contraband of wnr. It is believed that S further search will rcval ninny more weapons and possibly moro ammunition. The prize commissioners also found papers tending to show that certain of the Panama's passengers and old New York Spaniards had heen actively engaged in plans for aiding the Spanish of Cuba in getting anus, ammunition and supplies. The discovery of these documents lias already led to an order from Washington to hold aa prisoners of war a large number of the passengers of tlio Panama. Some patriotic sailors and marines object because tho Spanish flag still flies over tlio Panama, Uuido and other prizes I of war. After Qualt rough came ashore from the Guido, having turned his prize over to tlie United States federal authorities, one of the marine guards hauled down the Spanish flag from the staff, where it Heated under the stars and stripes and announced his Intention of keeping the Spanish ling as a souvenir.

It was prepared with the knowledge ol members Ol the senate committee on foreign relations anil had the approval of tin; adminsit ration OH certain conditions. One condition was that it should not be submitted to the Hawaiian congress unless there was u war. When President Dole left tills country war with Spain had not been declared, but was deemed probable. No OondltioiM are to he Imposed on the United States should tho Aniediciin flag lie raised over the islands. If a eonsideration was nam ed an appropriation would be required which would need congressional action and probably cause complications. A niajortiy of the senate and house are in favor of the annexation of Hawaii an.I the project has (ailed so fur mily through hick of the neoes-airy two thirds vote in the upper body.

Washington, May 2. - Secretary l^mg A watchmaker vrhc brought suit for divorce a year ago has been arrested at the Instigation of hia wife thirty- five times since then, and bas spent the major portion of bis time In Jail awaiting trial on some frivolous charge or other trumped up by the woman. Tue poor watchmaker Is quite run down, and wants this sort of prosecution wound up at once. One can easily see why Englishmen -wish success to plans for the liberation of Cuba. Their losses through tbe devastation of the Island are only less grievous than our own. Scores of cotton and tobacco estates are owned or mortgaged In England, and almost all tbe money Invested In the Insular railways came from London. It Is with English capital tint public works were undertaken In a number of Cuban cities between 1878 and 1894. No Interest or dividend will be forthcoming on aay of these securities until peace has been restored In the Island. It Is somewhat remarkable, when one considers the matter, that tbe line of fleers of the navy bave never asked themselves what tbey would do some day, with ships to command and no engineers competent to manage the motive power. Tbey are men upon'wblcb heavy responsibility rests, day and night, tn peace or war, and there have been many Instances of mental and physical breaking down. There are captains, commanders and lleutmints enough for the new ships, but no engineers, and competent engineers can not be secured offhand. Not since tbe opening of the century _s« the earth been so far filled with •tern threat and preparation for armed A case has Just beeu decided in England that is of Interest in this country, for tbe circumstances are very lik« those tbat have frequently occurred In the United States, but which have not reached the courts. The case was based upon the charge of manslaughter In a game of football. The game was being played under the association football rules, which were designed specially to limit the hazard In playing the game In question. It was claimed that the defendnnt, contrary (o (he rules of (he game, charged the deceased from behlud aud threw rim violently forward against the knees of another player, from which he received Injuries that caused his death. Tbe judge held that "tberules of the game were of little consequence, for no association could override tbe law In sucb a manner, nor could lt make lawful and Innocent that which was dangerous. The law of the land declares thnt lt Is unlawful to do that which Is likely to cause the death of another, and liability cannot be avoided by the enactment of rules reducing the danger," aud the prisoner was held for manslaughter. The Judge said: "But, on the other hand, If a man Is playing according to tbe rules and practice of the game, and Is not going beyond lt, It may be reasonable to infer tbnt he Is not acting In a manner which he knows will be likely to produce death." In the heat of playing the game men forget, In the desire to win, to observe the rules tbat have been adopted lu order to reduce the rink to a minimum and do things that result fatally to their opponents. Football has become established as one of the most popular of all our American sports, but however lt may be hedged about with rules It Is a dangerous game, a fact that Is too well attested to admit of dispute. The English case was brought to put a stop to the lawlessness of tbi game as lt bas been played at Rugby, and lt Is probable that lt will be ample to Inspire some respect for the lives and limbs of men engaged In the spirited contests. A petty politician always wants to be taken seriously. strengthened in it by the statement thnt Charles P. Welch is a large holder of Hutte stock. Some other people incline tio the belief that tho Montana insiders believe that they can make more money by having a large share capital, say giving four shares of new stock for one of old. Still others claim that the change has been made so that the legal battles of the company shall be fought in New York courts rather than iu those of Montana where the judges are too deep in polities, in which also the Anaconda money cuts a wide swiith.
