After a lapse of seven months Irom the termination of the trial, judgment lias been delivered in the Star-White case and the Nelson verdict has been reversed, tho present finding of the full court comprising Justices Irving, Martin and Morrison, the latter dissenting, being in favor of the Star Mining and Milling Co., plaintiffs, and full costs are awarded the plaintiffs in all courts, and an injunction is given. An enquiry is also directed as lo theore taken by the defendants. This case has ereated considerable interest among mining men in British Columbia. Eor the .benefit of our readers who are not conversant with the circumstances which led to suits that followed unit and in which over half a million dollars are said to bo .involved in costs alone, we will endeavor as impartially as it is possible, to give in plain unvarnished language a corollary of facts so that any intelligent layman unfamiliar with mining phraseology may become better acquainted with a celebrated case whicli at present disturbs tho classes iu onr mining community to the verge of a feud. We wish at thia juncture to remark that it is immaterial to us which tide wi**.*j. Right is right, ar.d it is our only hope that light will triumph aud that the commercial iuteieals 01 the district will best be served hy the campaign of active mining that wilt fellow the linn] verdict. The defendants are likely to appeal. The B. N. White Co. own two 000 ft. claims, which are separated bv two fractious owned bv Jno. M. Harris, The former has rights under the old mining law which permits the owners to follow tlieir vein to the dip through and beyond their side lines, i.e., inlo Mr. Harris' ground, while Mr. Harris is entitled to mine un ler the present law within his own ground. Thus arises, with the change of laws, the possibility of a double ownership to the mineral found on the ground. The old law was based on the idea that all minerals occur in true lissuio veins, and on the consideration that Uie discoverer of mineral on the surface waB entitled to that which exit-ted at depth: hence " ex-lateral rights." The true fissure vein idea was soon shown to be of limited application, and a change in the law was necessary. This was effected about 14 years ago. The present law places definite limitations to every mineral claim and most properly defines those limitations without reference to speculation as to the pioper origin of the mineral. The change of law has undoubtedly saved for B.C. many a legal conflict regarding the ownership of minerals, but by preserving the rights of the claims held under the old law and at the same time recognizing the validity of claims adjoining them under the now law, it has invited conflict where these interests overlap. The question of overlapping interests forms the basis of this litigation. In 1901 Mr. Harris issued a writ to restrain the White Co. from trespassing on this ground. This trespass was denied uuder the ex. lateral rights principle. As this principle requires the continuity of the vein over the ground where ex lateral rights are claimed, the issue resolved itself into the consideration whether, tho defendant could or could not prove this continuity. This was done to the satisfaction of the Chief Justice at Nelson and decision given in their favor. Appeal was, however, granted, an 1 permission was obtained to do work under couit juris- diiti m which would enlighten matters aa to the conliuniiy of the vein. In view nf the further evidence obtained in this invo'tigatorv work the .ippeal re mlved itself into a new trial hcfi re the full court. 'I his trial took place laut April and judgment wns delivered last Saturday in favor of Mr. Harris. As the continuity of veins is not Jdeutical with continuity of ore bodies, the queslion of walls and consideration of vein fillings have to be taken up and identified, hence the necessity of experts to interpret these matters. This case lias all along been specialized by the extreme contradictory nature of the expert interpretations, which indicated that the vein possessed the required continuity, while those on Mr. Harris' side interpreted a complete break in the vein hy a " fault " specialized by the name of the " black fissure," this latter throwing the two portions of the vein some 1,200 feet apart. Obviously boll, views cannot be correct, and the average lay mind is apt to conclude that expert interpretations ure of much lcm valuo than their co��t. It must not be forgotten, however, that these interpretations are purely subjective and not capable of direct proof. Their validity will depend the accuracy of tlie hypothetical conditions which form Iheir basis and on the possibility of predicting what will be found on unexplored ground through tlieir aid. Mr. Han is' experts scored on the latter point, as the evidence o! exploratory work dono was in accordance with tlieir original interpretation. Thus the Lecond (stage of the case is concluded. What will be the next move or moves is impossible to predict. It would appear unlikely, however, that th'.. decision will be aceepted as final. The judges deserve special commendation for having bjen able to reduce the chaotic mass of txpert evidence lo renson within the limited period of seven months. People with money to lose Bhould carefully read the record of the proceedings in the Canadian Mining Journal's effort to illuminate the flotation of the " Highland Mary " prospect. Plungers who gamble with their small savings should be educated by an inside view of the ptocess of floating a "mining" company prepaiatory to offering its Bhares to the public. R. H.

Christmas is in the air just now, and with the children of New Denver, Christmas is synonymous with operetta. That is their contribution to the festive season and they are willingly giving hours each day In order that their parents may have a good time on Christinas eve. Last year they took the parents a trip to Fairyland, for they realized that no criticism could be offered regarding their depiction of a land which to every imagination is different; but having "found themselves" this year, they essay a bolder flight and seek to portray some scenea from the Spanish Castle of Aguillar in lhe Stirring days proceeding tbe Armada. The plot centres around tbe disappearance of the Lady Hinda���a daughter of the widowed Countess Isabella���who was stolen in early life by Gipsy robbers who lurk in the surrounding woods���and in the trials of two ardent lovers, rival suitors for the hand of the lady Inez, the countess' elder daughter. Act 1 introduces us to the high life and rigid etiquette of the countess' court and the success of the suit of Don Carlos, a Spabish lord, to the discomfiture of Sir Ronald Graeme, "a Scottish knight from o'er the sea." In Act 2 we find ourselves in the hauntB of the Gypsies, where we are entertained by song and dance. There is then a scene with the soldiers who are seeking the lost Lady Hinda, and where the captain harangues them with no uncertain voice; a glimpse of the peasants with their pompous and fussy burgomaster follows. Then comes the seizure of the Gypsies' camp and tho revelation that the Gypsy Queen is no other than the long- lost Lady Hindu. The final act depicts the reunion of mother and the celebrations consequent thereon; and we find that the talisman which has healed the strife between the rivals and their followers and brought about the happy ending iB a four-leaved clover, which the German sprite Gluck- Anf and his sister Gretchen succeed in distributing to ihe principal characters. Hence the title "The Four-Leaved Clover." The whole is interspersed with lively choruses, solos, action songs, and dances, and the elaborate and fancy costumes lend an air of reality to tho scene. The people of New Denver thought last years' operetta a success. If Mr. and Mrs. Rankine's anticipations are realized, thiB year's will far excel it. Our Fruit Growers' Column. The season for pruning young fruit trees is upon us, and tho wily fruit tree agent is already here with his marvellous new sorts and fascinating stories ol the crops to be obtained from the trees he sells. Our friends sent by the Government also have a rather bewildering habit of springing new varieties upon us or condemning loine sort tliey had previously recommended. On one piece of advice, however, all are agreed, and that is that in growing fruit for the market too many varieties should not be planted, and that an orchard of, say, 1,000 apple trees that contain only two or three gojd varieties is infinitely to be preferred to ono that contains a lorge number even oi tho best selected varieties. This principal can be carried even further to advantage. It is well not to have too great a variety in any one neighborhood. We shall find it profitable to study what our neighbors are growing and if satisfied that tho variety that they have selected are thoroughly good ones, to fall in line with their way of working. In this way a local reputation can be built up, and tbe wholesale fruit merchants will know that they can obtain a good supply of some particular variety, and we shall not have to fill up the cars with part Northern Spys, part Wagner, part Baldwin and perhaps a dozen different sorts. In the neighborhood of New Denver the Wagner is at present the leading sort of winter apple that is planted, and everybody admits that it is one of the very best eorts. It is hardy and a good grower; it bears early and the fruit is magnificent in appearance, in flavor and keeping qualities. The thrifty condition of the trees in Mr. Williamson's and Mr. Aylard's orchards prove that the variety does well here, and that other growers will make no mistake if they also plant many Wagners. Among late fall apples the Wealthy rightly holds one of the first places. It is also an early bearer and a heavy bearer, and I find the trees are easy to prune into a good shape. This variety also has been planted extensively in this neighborhood and well deserves a place in our orchards. The Kaslo fruit growers have made a specialty of the Giavenstein, whicli they claim to produce in great perfection, and even lo bu able to keep until far into the winter. It is a most beautiful apple, of the very finest quality, and most popular in the market. But it ii a very delicate apple to handle, it brui.es remarkably easy, and will require very great care in picking and packing. However, for those who succeed in placing perfect Gravenstein apples in the pink of condition on the market ttiere will be all the greater reward. There will be a big opening for experienced packers of fruit in B.C. ina few years, when the millions of fruit trees now planted come into bearing, and it will be well for some of our rising generation to bear thia in mind when they are thinking of choosing tlieir life work. A first-rate fruit packer need never be out of work, for his employers will recognize it is to their advantage to retain him at other work even when there is no fruit to be handled, so as to be aure of having him ready for the fruit Beason.

Madge her schoolmates called her, because the name suited her, they said; but Maddy they called her at home, and there was a world of unutterable tenderness in the- voices of the old couple, her grandparents, when they sain that name, while their dim eyes lighted up with pride and joy when they rested upon the young girl who answered to the name of Maddy. Their only daughter's only child, she had lived with them since her mother's death, for her father was a sea captain, who never returned from his last voyage to China, made two months before she wns born. Very lonely and desolate would the home of Grandfather Markhain have been without tho presence of Madeline, but with her there, the old red farmhouse seemed to the aged couple like a paradise. Forty years they had lived there, tilling the rather barren soil of the rocky homestead, and, saving the sad night when they henrd that Richard Clyde was lost at sea, and the far sadder morning when their daughter died, bitter sorrow had not come to them; and, truly thankful for the blessings so long vouchsafed them, they had retired each night in pence with God and man, and risen each morning to pray. Hut a change was coming over them. In an evil hour Grandpa Markham bad signed a note for a neighbor and friend, who failed to pay, and so it all fell on Mr. Mark- ham, who, to meet the demand, mortgaged his homestead; the recreant neighbor still insisting that long before the mortgage should be due, he certainly would be able himself to meet it. This, however, he had not done, and, after twice begging off a foreclosure, poor old Grandfnthei Markham found himself nt the mercy of a grasping remorseless man, into whose hands the* mortgage hud passed. It was vnin to hope that Silas Slocum would wait. The money must either be forthcoming, or tbe red farmhouse be sold, witb its few acres of land. Among his neighbors there was not one who had the money to spare, even if he hnd heen willing to do so. And so be must look among strangers. "If I could only help," Madeline had said one evening when they sat talking over their troubles; "bul there's nothing I can do, unless I apply for our school this summer. Mr. Green is committeeman; he likes us and I don't believe but what he'll let me have it. I mean to go and see;" and, ere the old people hnd recovered from their astonishment, Mndeline had caught her bonnet and shawl, and was flying down the rond. Madeline was n favorite with all, especially with Mr. Green, and as the school would be small that summer, the plan struck him favorably. Her age, however, was an objection, and he must take time to see what others thought of a child like her becoming a schoolmistress Others thought well of it, and so before the close of the next day it was generally known through Honedale, as the southern part of Devonshire was called, that pretty little Madge Clyde had been engaged as teacher, she receiving three dollars a week, with the understanding that she must board herself*. It did not take Madeline long to calculate that twelve times three were thirty-six, more than a tenth of what her grandfather must borrow. It seemed like a little fortune, and blithe as a singing bird she flitted about the house, now stopping a moment to fondle her pet kitten, while she whispered the good news in its very appreciative ear, and then stroking her grandfather's silvery hair, as she said i "You can tell them that you are sure of paying thirty six dollars in the fall, and if I do well, maybe they'll hire nie longer. I mean to try my very best. 1 wonder if ever any- body before me taught a school when they were only fourteen and a half. Do I look as young as that?" and for an instant the bright, childish face Bcanncd itself eagerly in the old- fashioned mirror, with the figure of an eagle on the top. She did look very young, and yet there was something womanly, too, in the expression of the fnce, soins- thing which said that life's realities were already beginning to be under stood by her. "If my hair were not short I should do better. What a pity I cut it the last time; it would have been so long and splendid now," she continued, giving a kind nf contemptuous pull at the thick, beautiful brown hair on ���whose glossy surface there wns in certain lights n reddish tinge which added to its beuuty. "Never mind Hie hnir, Maddy," the old mnn said, gazing fondly nt bet with a hall sigh as he remembered another brown bend, pillowed now he neath-the graveyard turf. "Maybe you won't pass muster, and then the hair will make no difference. There's a new committeeman, that Dr. Holbrook from Boston, and new ones are apt to be mighty strict." Instantly Maddy's fnce flushed all over with nervous dread, as she thought: "What if I should fail?" fancying thnt to do so would be an eternal disgrace. But she should not. She was called by everybody the very 'best scholar in school, the one whom the teachers always put forward when desirous of showing off, the one whom Mr. Tiverton, and Squire Lamb, and Lawyer Whittemore always noticed so much. Of course she should not fail, though she did dread Dr. Holbrook, wondering much what he would ask her first, and hoping it would be something in arithmetic, provided he did not stumble upon decimals, where she was apt to got bewildered. She had no fears of grammar. She could -pick out the most obscure sentence and dissect a double relative with perfect ease; then, as to geography, :she could repeat whole pages of. that, while in the spelling-book, the foundation of a thorough education, a*. ishe had been taught, she had no superiors and but a very few equals. 'Still she would be very glad when it was over, apd she appointed Monday, both because it was close at hand, and because that was the day .Tier grandfather bnd set in which to iride to Aikenside. in an adjoining .town, and *u..l*. >_. vuutui uia-iter toi _he~IoSn oTTIfree .lundrecTdoTlWiB. He could hardly tell why he had thought of applying to Guy Remington for help, unless it were that he once had saved the life of Guy's father, who, as long as he lived, had evinced a great regard for his benefactor, frequently asserting that he meant to do something for him. But the something was never done, the father was dead, and in his strait the old mini turned to the son, whom he knew to be very rich, and who he hnd been told was exceedingly generous. "How I wish I could go with you clear up to Aikenside! Tliey say it's so beautiful," Mndeline had said, as on Saturday evening tbey sat discussing the expected events of the following Monday. "Mrs. Nonh, the housekeeper, had Sarah Jones (here once, to sew, and she told me all about it. Tbe.e nre graveled walks, and nice green lawns, and big, tall trues, and flowers���oh ! si many !���and mnrhle fountain^, with gold fishes In the basin; and statues, big as folks, all over the yard, with two brass lions on the gateposts, Hut the house is finest of all.

Oh, I do so wish I could have a peep at it! There nre two in one room, and the windows are like doors, with lace curtains; but what is queerest of all, the chairs nnd sofas are covered with real silk, just like thnt funny, gored gown of grandma's up in the oak chest. Dear me' I wonder if I'll ever live in such a plnce as Aikenside?" "No, no, Maddy, no. Be satisfied with the lot where Ood hns put you, and don't be longing nfter something higher.

"Not unless I should happen to marry a rich man. Poor girls like me have sometimes done that, haven't they?" was Maddy's demure reply. Grandpa Markham shook his head. "They have, but it's mostly theii ruination; so don't build castles in the air about this Guy Remington." "Me! Oh, grandpa, I never dreamed of Mr. Guy!" and Madeline blushed half indignantly. "He's too rich, too aristocratic, though Sarah said he didn't act one bit proud, and wa*- so pleasant, tbe servants all worship him, and Mrs. Noah thinks him good enough for the Queen of England. I shall think so, too, if he lets you have the money. How I wish it was Monday night, so we could know sure!" "Perhaps we both shall be terribly disappointed," suggested grandpa, but Maddy wns more hopeful. She, nt least, would not fail, while whnt she had henrd of Guy Remington, the heir of Aikenside, made her believe that he would accede at once to her grandpa's request. All that night she was working to pay the debt, giving the money herself into the hands of Guy Remington, whom she hnd never seen, but who came up in her dreams the tall, handsome-looking man she had so often henrd described by Sarah Jones after her return (rom Aikenside. Even the next dny, when by her grandparent's side, Muddy knelt reverent ly in thc small, timeworn church nt Honednle, her thoughts, it must be confessed, were wandering more to the to-morrow and Aikenside, than to the snered words her lips were uttering. She knew it wns wrong, and with a nervous start would try to bring bei mind buck from decimal fractions to what, the ministei was saying; but Maddy was moitil, and right in the midst of the Collect, Aikenside and its owner would rise before her, together with the wonder how she and her grandfather would feel one week from that Sabbnth day. Would the de- Mred certilicate be hers? or would she be disgraced for ever and ever by a rejection? Would the mortgage, be paid nnd her grandfather at ease, or would his beait he breaking with the knowing he must leave what had been his home for so many years? Not thus was it with the aged disciple beside her���the good old man, whose white locks swept the large-lettered book over which his wrinkled face was bent, as he joined in the responses, or said the prayers whose words hnd over him so soothing an influence, carrying his thoughts upward to the house not made with hands, which he felt assured would one day be his. Once or twice, it is true, thoughts ol losing the dear old red cottage flitted across his mind with a keen, sudden pang, but he put it quickly aside, remembering at the snme instant bow the Father he loved dneth all things Well to such *i* are His children.

With the earliest dawn, however, ���die was up, nnd her grandmother hoard her repeating to herself much of whnt she dreaded Dr. Holbrook ���night question hei upon. F.ven when bending over the wnshtub, for there were, no servants at the red cottage, a bonk was arranged before her, so "bnt she could study with her eyes, while her smnll. fnt hands and dimp- 'ed arms were busy in the suds.

"I could see splendidly in Mr. Remington's mirrors," she said to herself, with a half-sigh of regret that her lot had not been cast in some such place as Aikenside, instead of there beneath the hill in that wee bit of a cottage whose rear skinted back until it almost touched the ground. "After all, I guess I'm happier here," she thought. "Everybody likes me, while if I were Mr. Guy's sister and lived at Aikenside, I might be proud and wicked, and " She did not finish the sentence, but . somehow the story of Dives and Lazar- j us, read by her grandfather that morning, recurred to her mind, and feeling how much rather she would rest in Abraham's bosom than share the fate of him who once was clothed ir, purple and fine linen, she pirtned on her little nent plaid shawl, and, tying the blue ribbons of her coarse straw hnt, glnnced once more at the formidable cube root, and then hurried down to where her grandfather nnd old Sorrel were waiting for her. "T shnll be so happy when I come back, because it will then be over, just like bnvlng a tooth out, you know," she said to ber grandmother, who bent down for the good-by kiss without which Mnddy never left her. "Now, grandpa, drive on; I was to be there nt three." nnd chirruping herself to Sorrel, the impatient Madge went riding from the cottage door, chatting chnerily until the villnge of Devonshire wns reached: then, with a fnrewell to her grandfather, who never dreamed thnt the mnn whom be wns seeking ��as so nenr. she trip- ned up the flnctniie wnlk. nnd, as we hnve seen, soon stood in the presence of not onlv Ot* Holbrook, but nlso of Guv Remincton. , Poor, poor little Madge' (To Be Continued) THEY MET AGAIN.

"Having reached the top of the mountain," he tells ua in letter thirty- eight, "wi* prepared for descending o". the other side by the leze, which is an oi u:,l sledge made of two pieces t, ,o.l, carried up by the coulanW .local guides) for the purpose. 1 did not much relish this kind of carriage, especially as the mouii tain was very steep and covered with such a thick fog that we could hardly se. two or three yards before us. Nov ertheless our guides were so confidant and my companion, wbo had passed the same way on other occasions, so secure that 1 ventured to place myself on this machine, one of the cou- lants standing behind me and the other sitting before me as the conductor, with his feet piddling in the snow. in order to moderate the velocity of rU descent. Thus accommodated, we descended the mountain with such rapidity that in nn hour we reached Limon, Here we waited two full hours for the mules which traveled with the servants by the common road."

There is again a good deal of talk in Court circles as to the future of Balmoral. It is well known that thc King has not the same regard for hit- Highland home as bad Queen Vic*- toria, and this lias naturally led to expectations that he will sell the estate. At present the house is shut, with only a small number of servants. Some time ago the King was credited with the intention of turning the place into a sanitorium, but it is understood that the idea haB been s ueium abandoned lately. However, not very brushed . wn8 ago several vanloads of furniture ien nt i ful ] an,I ornaments, property of the late Queen, were removed fiom Balmoral More little lives are lost during the hot weather months than at any other time of the your. In the .lim- mer months little ones are the victims of diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysentery und stomach troubles. These come suddenly and without warning, and if a medicine is not at hand to give promptly the short delay may mean death. During the hot weather months Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in every home where there is a young child. An occasional use of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles. Or if the troubles come unawares a prompt use of this medicine will bring the child through safely. Mrs. J. Renard, New Glasgow, Que., says: "I cannot speak too highly of Baby's Own Tablets. One of my children had a severe attack of diarrhoea which the Tablets promptly cured." Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The digestive system is a wonderful piece of machinery, but power is necessary to make it effective.

Miss Ellon Terry, with her usual enthusiasm, has for mnny years past many years past made a collection of the pluces-noz nnd monocles of famous men. Funs, old buttons, miniatures, snuffboxes, curved oak, Inlaid furniture and old time gloves nre among the iiiiiu**. things that enthusiastic twentieth century collectors go almost crazy over. Itrokcn china is another hobby that can give a greut deal of pleasure for a comparatively small outlay, says Home Chat. An old Dresden china Cupid complete would be a very expensive thing, but minus a wing or a leg he is of but little value to those who collect perfect specimens and pay prohibitive prices for them. Hobbies open up endless possibilities, and provided the collector does not be come n crank, they give nu added interest to life and help to keep the heart young. - DODD'S ' | KIDNEY !(,p,LLS--/ ^A_,_?Trs W.

He Is ;ot necessarily a better man for having It, but be is a happier oue. It renders liim Indifferent to good or bad fortune. It euables bim to enjoy his own discomfiture. Blessed with this sense ne is never unduly elated or cast down. No one can ruffle his temper. No abuse disturbs his equanimity. Bores do not bore him. Humbugs do not humbug him. Solemn airs do not Impose on him. Sentimental gush does not Influence him. The follies of the moment have no hold on him. Titles and decorations are but childish baubles In his eyes.

Story of How Beethoven Created His Wonderful Sonata. . Beethoven's famous composition, the "Moonlight Sonata," Is said to have been composed under the following circumstances: One evening as Beethoven and a friend were hurrying through the streets of Bonn they beard the familiar notes of the "Sonata In I*'." Some thing ln tbe musician's touch attracted the attention of Beethoven, and he stopped and listened. Suddenly the music stopped, and the despairing words of the musician came to them through the open window, "Oh, if 1 could but hear some really good musician play this wonderful piece!" aud the words ended In a sob. "Let us go In," said Beetboven. They entered aud found the player a young girl, poor and blind. Beethoven sat down at the old harpsichord and played as he hud never played before. His listeners were spellbound. "Tell us," they begged, "who are you?" For answer he played the opening bars in the "Sonata In V." "It Is Beethoven!" they exclaimed In awe and admiration. Suddenly the candle flickered aud went out. Beethoven ceased playing and bowed bis head upon his band. His friend threw open the shutters. A flood of beautiful moonlight entered the room. Its transfiguring light touched up the poor old Instrument and rested upon the noble figure bowed before It The profound silence was broken at last by the musician, who snld: "Listen. I will Improvise a sonata to the moonlight." Then was crented this wonderful sonata, beginning In a sad, ten der movement, the embodiment In sound of the gentle moonlight transfiguring and glorifying the dark earth. Suddenly the music ceased, and with a brief farewell Beethoven hurried home to put upon paper this famous composition. Antiquity of Tennis.

A story of the delightfully effective turning of the human worm comes from the Chicago Record-Herald. For several weeks Raymond bad been the only tenant of his house. Mrs. Raymond and the children were waiting lu the south for the weather to settle. Late one evening, when Raymond was ln his bathtub, be beard somebody ringing the front door bell. He decided not to pay any attention to It. The person who was doing tbe ringing would presently get the Idea that nobody was at home and go away. But the ringing continued. Raymond went on scrubbing bis back with the long handled brush and rubbing soap over himself and hoping that the Individual who was ringing the bell might be good enough to quit before the battery was exhausted or the wires were worn out. At last, when he could stand It no longer, he got out of the water, put on a bath robe and went to the front window, from which he was able to see who was at the door. ne beheld a telegraph messenger and at once begun to feel queer ln the region of the heart Something had happened to his wife or one of tbe children. "Be down In a minute!" he called to tbe boy, and he was as good as his word. He did not wait to put on any more clothes. He even forgot tbat he wos barefooted. When he had opened the door the boy handed hlm what looked like a telegram, but was, In fact, only a clever imitation of one. He tore open the envelope and read this message: Dear Sir���Have you examined our ten dollar overcoats? IC not, you Bhould do so at once. They will Interest you. , DASH1NOTON. Clothier and Haberdasher. The boy. who wore a uniform like 'hat of a telegraph messenger, departed while Raymond was reading the advertisement, and thus probably saved himself from being personally assaulted. Raymond was angry. He threw the piece of paper on the floor and stamped bis heel on It; but, being barefooted, he hurt his heel more than be did thc advertisement. This did not Improve his temper. His nnger Increased as the moments passed. When he went to bed he was ln a fighting mood. He wondered If It might not be possible to prosecute a man who counterfeited telegraph blanks for the purpose of deceiving people. He tossed about, nursing bis auger against Dashlngton and vowing that he would go naked through the streets rather than buy so much as a necktie at the Dashing- ton store. Finally, at about 2 o'clock in tbe morning, a bappy thought struck him. He bopped out of bed, went to the telephone, found Dashlngton's house number nud called for it Reasonably soon somebody sleepily asked what was wanted. "Is this Mr. Dashlngton's residence?" "Yes." "I should like to speak to hlm." "He can't be disturbed at this time of nlgbt. Call In the morning." "No; I must speak to him now." ""Won'l you give me your message?" "No; I must speak to him personally." "But do you realize what time It Is?" "Yes, but I am very anxious to speak to him at once. Please call him to the telephone nt once." After a long time another sleepy voice was beard. "Hello! Is this Dashln-rtonr asked Raymond. "Yes." "Well, I just wanted to tell you that I got your telegram Into this evening, and I don't think I care to look at any of those ten dollar overcoats. I thought you'd be anxious to know whether tbe messenger succeeded ln finding me, so I"��� Tbere were jumbled chunks of language mixed with sounds indicating that the instrument at the other end was being subjected to harsh usage, and then silence.

Side by side with the most highly developed examples of modern civilization at the National Exhibition, both in its human and mechanical phases, there was shown at the Igor- rote Village one of tbe most interesting and unique studies by way of contrast that could well be imagined. The transition from the bewildering array of scientific triumph to the primeval simplicity of these children of nature was really startling and nothing conld illustrate in a more effective manner what as enormous change has been effected in the modes of living during the past few centuries. Whether tbe change has been beneli- cial is greatly doubted by many of the thousands who witnessed the peaceful life and the air of contentment that surrounds these natives of Luzon as the freedom from care and evident disregard of all the nerve-racking obligations of modern social life appeal strongly to thos. who are oompelled to participate in the latter-day strenuous contest for existence. The Igorrote village was located at the entrance to the Midway, in the most prominent location on tbe grounds, a favor extended by the management on account of the wonderfully extensive interest taken in these peculiar people. Within the walls were to be found a large group of the natives���men. Women and children ���who live in the grass-thatched houses to be found in the Philippines. On the right of the entrance was to be seen a young woman who haa just entered on the experiment of marriage. She has been taken on trial, according to the custom of .the Igor- rotes, and should the test result in motherhood, she will be married with a ceremony lasting several days. Once permanently married there will be no divorce, as there is no tradition of any separation where a child has survived. Another interesting personality is that of the first Bontoc Igorrote baby to be brought to this country. His name is Wai-yl, and he is now a little more than two years old. He has been in the coTlntry only a few months, but is rapidly acquiring a knowledge of English, and was quite a pet with visitors. At times he parades in modern dress, but evidently prefers the scanty raiment of his ancestors, and even takes delight in escaping from such restrictions and disporting in only-his beautiful bronze- brown complexion. Scattered throughout the village, working at forges and other forms of employment,, were various members of the group] engaged in their usual daily tasks. In the centre of the village the entire population participated in war dances and other tribal ceremonies, such as spear-throwing contests. NEWFOUNDLAND RIGHTS. Premier Bond Opposes Clause of tha Agreement. State Department'advices received at Washington from London, where Ambassador Reid is conducting directly with thc British Foreign Office negotiations looking to the adjustment of the Newfoundland fisheries question, indicate that the main obstacle to a complete agreement lies in the opposition of Sir Robert Bond, thc Newfoundland Premier, to the renewal of that paragraph of the modus Vivendi of last season which legalizes the enlistment of Newfoundland fishermen as members of the crews of American fishing smacks. It iB assumed that the Premier's objection is based not so much upon the actual employment of these shore fishermen at lucrative wages on American fishing vessels, a matter of pecuniary loss to the colony, but rather from an unwillingness to admit, even in a modus vivendi, that a colonial law, such as prohibits their employment in this manner, may not invalidate the treaty provision to the contrary. A number of alternative propositions have been advanced from the Newfoundland side, but meanwhile, failing an agreement on a modus vivendi in Newfoundland, it is the understanding that a truce will prevail, by the terms of which American fishermen will continue to ply their vocation on the coast of Newfoundland, according to the terms of the agreement of last year.

From early spring until IUb departure Irom Sandon a month ago, mystery has shrouded the personelle of a gentleman whose courtly manner and bearing bus won for bim the admiration oi all, and his mission in Sandon ulso excited the curiosity of noi a few. True his continental style of dancing did not exactly jibe with ouis, nor did he practise the art of making lovo in our matter of- fact gawky style] in the former he was as graceful as a gyroscope and in the latter as gallant as a courtier of the Elizabethan age. Arriving in Sandon with a goodly array of guns, trunks, books and cameras, the gossips who nt least had expected him to buy up the Rambler or the Slocan Star, rtcaved a ���shock when they learned he had accepted the humblest position obtainable in a local mine, whicli in his own language was that of a " Po-ah Muck-ah." He Wis ever a gentleman, and he quickly became the idol of the marriageable belles and the admiration of the men��� with perhaps one exception. When he departed from our lives as a dream���as lie came, he went���all regretted the absence of the mysterious stranger. Whilst scanning the personal column of a widely read mining magazine the other day we came across the fallowing item bearing on tlie mystery : " Signor A. T of Florence, Italy, lately completed a tour through the Kootenay and Boumhuy mining districts. He was reported to be representing Italian capitalists desirous of obtaining suitable miningfju'operties in the West."
