vsr ot bills previously presented,
amounting to $152,50. Ite-port was

Bills ordered paid.
A bill from Woodcock A Co , alleged to show an overcharge for spikes,
was referred back to the finance
committee.
Aid Smith, for the board of works,
reported that an effort was being
made to repair the Springer creek
bridge.
Aid. Barber asked tbe council for
instructions for the board of works in
repairing the bridge.
Aid. McCallum said the council
had decided to repair the Delaney
ave bridge, but' to leave the up]
bridge until after high water,
they could take that matter ap. The
repairs to the Delaney ave bridge
would be temporary, enabling teams
to cross over.
The council agreed that the bridge
should bu repaired by tlie board of
works as good as the funds available
would permit,
A discussion arose over the necessity sif bringing in a bylaw eonnrin-
•*^r**J*av*f-tao appointment of a city cleric,

Letters have been received during

travelled about 15 miles, when our
advance guards got sight of tbe Beer

away. Then we started to camp
right there, thinking that they had
gone. We had just got our saddles
off and the horses watered and the

Boers started to surround ns, and
threw some shells into our camp. Wn

not without heavy loss on their side,
as one ofthe Boer doctors camo into

they had lost more men in that battle

Big Lumber Syndicate.
Among the visitors in the city on
Wednesday was W. B. Strathearn,
manager for the syndicate which
has recently acquired Hill Bros',
sawmill at the head ef the lake. The
syndicate is composed mainly of
Orillia, Ont, men, and is headed bv
Chew Bros., of Midland. They mean
business and will operate largely,
exporting mainly to the prairie markets. They have staked nine limits
of tine timber at the head of Wilson
creek and they are desirous of securing more. If the Evans creek limits
were moro accessible, Slocan would
stand a show of being made the
headquarters of tiie syndicate. As it
is, they hope to do considerable business here and with the mines.
canadian answbkbd.
Editor Dkiix:
Sir,—In a letter over the signature
of Canadian in today's Issue, objections are raised against the Provincial Progressive Party on general
principles, from which the following
samples might be culled and collected: "Idealistic but Impossible 'ads,"
"No room for a third party," "aHe**
grafters," "Socialtotle and Labor
combination springing from an alien
graft," etc. The a neve and some
hazy nation of "patriotic' predilection seem to be all we can expect
frem Canadian, even after directing
some little attention to the subject.
But he certainly could have given ns
the above array of generalities without the extra trouble lYcoBslderation.
Wbat we would Ilka to kn«w is* 1.
What particular plank or planks in
the platform are idealistic and Impracticable? 2. In view of the wholesale alienation of the public resources
the continual refust-.l of tha present
parties to protect *thc white producer
frem the Oriental scourge, failure to
carry out party pledges, etc., how
csn he satisfy himself that there is no
room for a third party? 3. What
have the alien grafters got te do with
the Provincial Progressive' Party or
platform? 4. In conclusion, weald
it not be well fer our pseudo Canadian to let us know if true patriotism
does net consist in loyalty to heme
and country, so as to be guided in
improving the condition of the pee
pie, protecting our homes by wise and
just laws in order that happiness and
prosperity would prevail among the
masses rather than the parrot crv of
alien grafter!.Socialism (labor organization 1 whenever n patriotic move-,
ment is on foot to protect the public
against tbe real grafter who profits
by.class legislation?
Whilst always ready to acknowledge room fer improvement in the
Progressive Party and platform, we
not only deny all of Canadian's allegations, but we challenge him to
prove them. The Provincial Progressive platferm is an embodiment
of the crystallized thought and highest intelligence of all the organized
labor and reform bed ies in the province of British Columbia—a sublime
protest against corrupt class legislation and, as such, is entitled to fair
and honest criticism, equally valuable to tbe voter and the legislator.
By way of preparation, however,
some slight knowledge of tbe.facts
will be necessary, which, If accompanied with an honest desire to draw
just conclusions, would, in the case
of Canadian, probably save us all
from theory of Wolff Wolf I wben
there is no wolf. J. A. Folk.

THE LADY
? By SIR WALTER BESANT
W Copyright. 1900, by Sir Walter Besatit
"With submission, my lord, yon cannot, t know too much. The girl's for-
ton* when yoa bavo It will go the same
fray as yonr routs and woods have
tone, Provide for me, therefore, before you begin to spend that money."
"I will give yon a lift} position, with
£200 a year. The girl, you say, bas no
lover."
"She has no lover. Your lordship's
rank, your manner, your appearance,
will certainly carry tbe day. By contrast alone with tbe country bumpkins
tbe heart of the girl will be won."
"Mr. Semple." bis lordship yawned,
"do you suppose that the heart of the
girl concerns me? Oo and complete
yoar scheme.**
The Lady Anastasia wss In her dress-
teg room In the bands of her friseur.the
French hairdresser, and her maid. She
wss the young widow of an old baronet She was also tbe daughter of an
earl and tbe sister of his successor.
Sbe therefore enjoyed the freedom of a
widow, tbe happiness natural to youth
and all tbe privileges of rank. No woman could be happier. It was reported
that ber love of the card table had
greatly Impaired ber Income. The
world said that ber own private dowry
wss wholly gone and a large part other Jointure.
She kept a small establishment In
Mount street Iler people consisted of
no more tban two footmen, a butler, a
lady's maid, a housekeeper and three
or four maids, wltb two chairmen. She
did not live as a rich woman. Sbe received. It is true, twice a week, on Sundays and Wednesdays, but not with
any expense of supper and wine. Her
friends came to play cards, and she
held tbe bank for them. On other
evenings sbe went out and played at
tbe booses of ber friends.
While the frlseur was still completing her head Lord Fyllngdale was announced. The lady blushed violently.
She sat up and looked anxiously ln tbe
"Betty," sbe cried, "A touch of red;
not much, you clumsy creature! WUl
yon never learn to have a lighter hand?
Sol That is better. I am horribly pale.

looked again at tbe glass. "Am I looking tolerable, Betty r
"Your ladyship ts ravishing,** said
Betty, finishing the toilet
Lady Anastasia swam out of the
room with a gilding movement tben
the fashion, and entered tbe morning
room, where; Lord Fyllngdale awaited
her. ^
"Anastasia!". be said softly, taking
her hand. "It Is very good of you to
see me alone. I feared you would be
surrounded wltb courtiers and fine ladles or with singers, musicians, hairdressers and other baboons. Permit
me," and be raised ber hand to bis lips.
"You look divine this morning. It Is
long since I bave seen you look so perfectly charming."
The lady murpured something. She
was one of those women wbo like
above all things to bear praises of
wbst most tbey prize, tbeli beauty, and
to believe wbat they most desire to be
the troth, the preservation and perfecting of that beauty.
"But you came to see me alone. Was
It tO tell me tbat I look charming?
Otber men tell me as much In company."
."Not altogether that dear lady,
though that Is something. I come to
tell you of a change of plans."
"You have heard that the grand Jury
of Middlesex bas presented me by
name as a corrupter of innocence, and
I know not what because I hold my
bank on Sunday nights?"
"I bave beard something of tbe matter, it Is almost time, I think, to give
these presumptuous shopkeepers a lesson not to Interfere wltb the pursuits
of persons of rank. Let tbem confine
themselves to the prentices wbo play
at pitch and toss."
"Oh, what matters their presentment? I shall continue to keep the
bank on Sunday nights. Now, my dear
lord, what about these plans? What Is
changed?"
"We thought you remember, about
going to Tunbridge in July."
"Well, shall we not go there?"
"Perhaps. But tbere Is something te
be done first Let me confide In you"—
"My dear lord, you bave never confided In anybody."
"Bicept In yoa I think you know
all my secrets, If I bave any. In whom
else can I confide? In tbe creatures
who Importune me for places? In
friends of tbe green table? In friends
of tbe race course? My dear Anastasia,
you know. I assure you, as much abont
my personal affairs as I know myself."
"If yon wonld always speak so kindly!" Her eyes became humid, but not
tearful. A lady of fashion must not
spoil ber cheek by tears.
"Well, tben, tbe case Is tbis: Ton

"There Will be opportunities, I am

"And bow can I help you? Why

-By letting the people, the county
people, understand tbe many virtues
and graces wblcb distinguish my character. No one knows me better than

Tbe lady smiled. "Ko one," sbe murmured.
—"or can speak with greater authority

"Pah, a beggarly crew and blown up

"Not at tbls quiet and secluded town.
Tbey will be strangers to you as well

The lady made no response. '
"I may call It settled, then?" He
still beld ber band. "If you would

Sbe drew away ber hand. "Ton are

GREAT NEWS FOR LYSTt.
N the evening of the day
I before I was to sail
Captain Crowle and I
were walking through
tbe narrow street tbey
call State lane Into tbe
great market plnce.
where stands thr
Crown Inn. The room nppropi'tHtcd tn
tbe Society of Lynn, whl< h met ever",
evening all Hie year round, was Hun
an the ground floor looking npon tbe
market place.
The society or club, which ts never
dissolved, consists of the notables or
better sort of tbe town, tbe vicar of St
Margaret's, pie curate of St. Nicholas',
tbe master of tbe school, my own father, Captain Crowle and otber retired
captains, tbe doctor, some of tbe more
substantial merchants, wltb tbe mayor,
some of tbe aldermen, tbe town clerk
and a Justice of tbe peace or two. Tbis
evening most of these gentlemen were
already present
Captain Crowle saluted the company
aud took bis seat at the bead of the
table. "Gentlemen," be said, "1 wish
you all a pleasant evening. I hnve
brought wltb me my young friend.
Jack Pentecrosse—you nil know Jack-
the worthy son of his worthy father.
He will take a glass wltb us. Sit dowu
beside me, Jack."
"With the permission of the society,"
I said.
Most of tbe gentlemen had already
before tbem their pipes and their tobacco. Some bad ordered their drink—
a pint of port for one, a Brown George

canary for a third, and so on. But the
captain, looking round tbe room, beckoned to tbe girl who waited. "Jenny,"
be said, "nobody calls for anything tonight except myself. Gentlemen, It
must be a bowl or balf a dozen bowls.
Tell your mistress, Jenny, a bowl of
tbe biggest and tbe strongest and the
sweetest Gentlemen, you will drink
with tne to tbe next voyage of tbe Lady
of Lynn."
But then a thing happened. News
came wblcb drove all thoughts of the
Lady of Lynn out of everybody's mind.
Tbat toast was forgotten.
Tbe news was brought by tbe doctor,
wbo was the last to arrive.
Doctor Worship was a person who
'""ibltually carried himself wltb dignity.
"Gentlemen." Tbo doctor laid his
hat upon the table and bis cane bsv
sldo It. Tben be took bis chair, adjusted bts wig. put on bis spectacles,
and tben, laying his bsnd upon the
arms of tbe chair, be once more look
ed around tbe room, and all tbis in the
most Important dignified, provoking.
Interesting manner possible. "Gentlemen, I bave news for you."v
Captain Crowle made answer, speak
Ing In tbe name of tbe society. "Sir.
we await your pleasure."
"My news, gentlemen, Is of a startling character. I will epitomise or
abbreviate It In a word, therefore,
we are ell about to become rich. All
you wbo bave houses or property lu
tbls town, sll wbo are concerned In
tbe trade of the town, sll wbo direct
tbe Industries of the people or take
care of the health of the residents,
will become, I ssy, rich."
The doctor pulled out a pocketbook
from which be extracted a letter. "I
bave received," be went on, "a letter
from a townsman, tbe young man
named Samuel Semple—Samuel Semple,"' ho repeated, wltb emphasis, because a look of disappointment fell
upon avery face.
"Sam SempleP growled tbe captain.
-"Once I broke my stick across bis
back.'* He did not however, explain
wby he bad done so. "1 wish I bad
broken two What has Sam Semple
to do wltb the prosperity of tbe town?"
"Mr. Sam Semple," tbe doctor continued, wltb emphasis on the prefix,

Tbe vicar shook his bead. 'Trash!"
be murmured. "Trash!"
"Well, gentlemen, I will proceed to

He unfolded It and began with a
sonorous bum:
"'Honored sir.*" He repeated the

Reuben Draper, of Bristol, Que.,
Who Was a Victim, Finds Belief
and a Permanent Cure—He Tells
of His Sufferings, and How He
Left His Troublo Behind.
Bristol, Que.. May 17—(Special)—
No disease can cause more severe
and dreadful pain than gravel. Reuben Draper, of this place, was token
ill with this awful trouble about live
years ago. lie was cured und so
many have asked him how it was
done that he has decided to give the
whole story for publication :
"About live years ago 1 was taken
ill with the ('ravel. 1 suffersil great
palp, so 1 sent, for a doctor. He
gave mc some medicine nnd cuius- in
seo me twice aftorwardc, but my disease was not gone, and in a short
time 1 hud another very bad attack.
"This time I sent for another doctor, with about the same results,
only I wus getting weaker all tlie
timo.
"Then a man advised me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills, for be said they
had cured his mother. I thought I
would try tln*m, and bought a box.
"Just ono week after I began the
ticatment I passed a stone as largo
as a small bean, and four days Inter
another about the size of a grain of
barley—this gave mc great relief ami
I coiiunonced to fool bettor and to
gain strength right away.
"That was fivo yi*ars ago, and I
have not had any trouble in. that
wny sines. I havo tho stones in a
small pottle, uml au,voiii> inn sec

may not have known that Dodd's
Kidney Pills always cure (iravel and

FOOLED THE COLONEL.
The "War Paddy Brannlsaa Oatauf
aeaTered His Superior. ,
The colonel, or "Old Daddy." Ss he
was usually called, had a habit ot
strolling round tbe camps at most un-
soa!-onablo hours. Sentries bnd to be
continually on the alert, for nothing
would hnve given "Old Daddy" greater satisfaction tban to bave pounced
on some luckless one wbo might think
the midnight hours suitable for a quiet
snooze.
Paddy Brnnnlgnn made that mistake
onco. There In the quiet moonlight
he sat, all unconscious of tbe colonel's
presence, his rifle laid against the tent,
himself burled In slumber. Qently the
rifle was lifted from Its place. But
some good angel awoke Paddy In tlmt
to see the colonel making bis way to
the guard tent. Paddy missed his rifle
at once nnd followed tbe colonel wltb
thc caution of a prairie cat
Outside the guard tent stood tbe
wooden rack which held the rifles of
the gunrd. aud Into It "Old Daddy" placed Paddy's rifle, himself entering tbs
tent to call tbe sergeant In charge.
This was Paddy's opportunity. He
grabbed his rifle ond was back at his
post In an Instant. Thc colonel brought
tbe sergeant outside and ordered blm
to count tbe rifles.
"All correct, sir." said the sergeant
"Nothing of thc sort Tbere Is an ex*
tra ride there. That I am certain of,
for I put It there myself."
"I beg your pardon, sir, but tbe number Is quite correct." again replied tbe
somewhat amased sergeant.
"Come with me—come wltb me this
instant, and I'll soon let you see wbat
I mean."
The sergeant followed his chief, wondering what was going to happen.
"Haiti Who goes thero?" rang out
clear and sharp in tbe nlgbt air from
the now wideawake Paddy.
This wss more tban "Old Daddy"
bad ever dreamed of. For a moment be
was paralysed. Then he marched,
straight up to Paddy, gased Into hit
sweetly Innocent face and, witb s
"Well, I'm Mowed," turned on bis bee)
end vanished.-

ONE HORSEPOWER.
Bow Thle Unit of Meehaaleal Tmrem
Cam* to Be Adopted.
When men first begin .to become familiar wltb tbe -methods of measuring
uieclmiilcul power, tliey often speculate
on .where the breed of horses Is to bo
found tbat can keep at work raising
33,000 pounds one foot per minute, or
tbe equivalent, wblcb ia more fun-Ulnr
to some mechanics, of ralalng 330
pounds 100 feet per minute. Since 33.-
000 pounds raised one foot per minute
Is culled one horsepower It Is natural
tbat people should think tbe engineers
wbo established that unit of measurement bused It on wbat horses could
really do. But the horse that can do
this work doea not exist.
Tbe horsepower unit waa established
by James Watt about a century ago,
aud (lie figures were fixed in a curious
way. Watt found that tbe average
horse of bla district could raise 22,000
pounds, one foot per minute. At tbat
time Watt was employed.In tbe manufacture of engines, and customers were
so hard to find that all kinds or artificial Inducements were necessary to
Induce power users to buy steam en-
pines. Aa a method of encouraging
tlii'in Watt offered to sell engines reckoning 33,000 foot pounds, to a horsepower. And thus ho was the means of giving a false unit to ono of the most Important measurements ln tho world.

RENDERS THE LIFE OF THE DYSPEPTIC MISERABLE.
Food Becomes Distasteful and a Feeling of Weariness, Pain and
Depression Ensues.
From LeSorelois, Sorel, Que.
Of the diseases afflicting mankind
dyspepsia is one of the worst to endure, its victims find life almost a
burden. Food becomes distasteful ;
they suffer from severe pains in the
stomach ; sometimes.excessive heart
palpitation, and a general feeling of
weakness and depression. Though
this disease is one of the most distressing, it is one which, if the proper remedy is applied, can be readily cured. Thousands throughout
this country bear testimony to the
efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ns
a never-failing cure. Among them is
Mrs. Adolphe A. Latrousse, a well
known and highly esteemed lady residing at Sorel,'Oue. ,She says:—
"For two years 1 was a constant
sufferer from bad digestion and its
accompanying symptoms. Food became distasteful and I grew very
weak. 1 suffered much from pains in
stomach and head. I could not ol>-
tain restful sleep and became unlit
lor all housework. I tried several
medicines without finding the least
relief and 1 grew continually worse
until in the end I would, vomit
everything I ate. I had almost given
up hope of ever being well again
when one day T read of a case simi-
ilar to mine cured through thc use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.' I determined to give these pills a trial and
am happy today that I did so, as by
the time I had taken eight or nine
boxes my strength had returned, the
pains which had so long racked *me
disappeared, my stomach wcjuld digest food properly and I had fully-
regained my old time health, and
have not sinre had any return of the
trouble."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a puro
ly tonic medicine and unlike all purgatives do not weaken the system,
but give life and energy with every
dose. They are a certain cure for
anaemia, dizziness, heart troubles,
rhi'umtsitism, sciatica, indigestion,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance
and the functional ailments that
make the lives of so many women an
almost constant source of misery.
Sold by dealers in medicine, or sent
post paid at 50 cents a box. or six
boxes for S"*,50 by addressing the
Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
We are fellow laborers with a common end—reverent to the lowest for

Five Angela on a Needle Point.
It Is related of tbe late Dr. Robertson that on one occasion he was ln

ovor the old scholastic question, How

point of a needle? They wore surprised when Dr. Koliortson turned to them
and said, "Well, how mnny do you

on, with decision, "Well, I'll tell you—

ARTIFICIAL ICE.
Prlaclple Ipon Which Thle Comn-.ee"-
Ity Ie Manufartnrril.
The principle upon which tbe manufacture of ice is based Is that a gas
when compressed gathers heat enormously, and if robbed of this boat and
allowed to escape at a future time It
seeks to regain Its boat by withdrawing heat from its surroundings. Ammonia gas Is generally preferred to
others because it can be liquefied with
[' comparatively little pressure. On removing tlie water from common ammonia by slistillatisiii anhydrous ammonia is obtained. This Is compressed
by a combined steam pump and a compressor, and the resulting liquefaction
Induces heat, which Is economlied by
circulating water nbout the vessel or
pipe containing the lli-ucllcd ammonia.
Thus f.ie ammonia Is cooled aud the
heat largely triinsferreil to the water,
which Is then pumped back to the
boiler that supplli'S the steam pump.
The liquid ammonia Is then carries! In
a pipe to expansion colls that afford
plenty of room for Its evaporation,
when It begins to return to the gasejus
form and to draw heat from Its surroundings, which gradually reduces
the temperature. I'ropcr vessels ot
water nro placed In contact with tho
expansion colls, ond In due time Ice
Is formed.
Lynch Latr.
Lynch law In Its usual moaning is
said to be traceable to a Oahvay worthy. In 1403 one James '"ItsRtcpben
Lynch, a mayor of that city, sentenced
his own son to detith for murder and.
fearing a rescue.* had the culprit
brought home and hanged before his
own door. Tho tradition may be found
Blinded to In Thackeray's "Irish Sketch
Hook." There are critics, however.
Mho say thut the law was ln Its origin
essentially American, and they dato It
lines to Charles Lynch, a Virginian
planter of the sevontoonth century.
