We have waited, in common with all other users of the system, for an ollicial ���statement bearing upon any unforeseen accident by which the electrical machinery waa perhaps temporarily disabled, or some explanation given why the plant i�� not working, or some assurance that'.within a specified time the lights would again be switched on, and that when they do appear they will be more voluminous than the wretched misnomers we hnve suffered during ill vinter thus far. But wo are, mcta- horieally mid literally, in tho dark. True ft notice bas been tacked on to a -lephuiie polo near tho Bank, to the ffeet that until the frost lat up no ���;hts would appear, and although it bore the name of one of the company's officials, it. is so indefinite that a',(eeling of profound indignation is manifest. Tlie company will have to speedily eal-ze that this style of doing business not orthodox and the long-suffering crs will not stand fjr it. We suppose that, as in any other line of business, ���e consumer is the whole " it " with a P".*apital 1 when it comes to a -.how-down. The company must not imagine that ecaiise they have secured a charter hat such charter is unconditional. Far from it. But tho public will five and take ami mnku allowances for unforeseen accidents and allo.r reasonable time for the necessary repairs to be doue, but when no effort is being mado to keep tlie plant in good working order, (hen the public should interest Itself in the terms of the charter and compel the company to follow it more lo tlie niter, nnd thftt failing, to ..wrest tho charter from them . We have received several communications from prominent citizefia relating to this matter, but our letterB if they appeared in Ihose columns would be .'over pen names, and for this reason we iav. decided not publish them. Their .ppearance would only engender Hiding, and that we wish to avoid. s is a genuine general grievance, and personal animosity or inuendo is ended to be conveyed in this'article.

H -ar Both Side*. Ami now wo lift our pen to tackle a subject that has agitated the local public, considerably of late. We allude to the correspondence or, and con which has been written to the press regarding tho " Slocan License Dislrict." First of all we wish it to be distinctly understood that we are in ns good a position to form an unbiassed opinion upon tbis subject as. anyone else���nnd some will perhaps say better���but thnt is en passant, ami written in no spirit of egotism. It ia our lot to be on friendly ���usiness [terms with all sorts and co.i- itions of men, and in this instance itli J,tlif accusers and accused, so we * time enabled te feel the pulse, as it ;, of all parties on both sides of the .uo man who recently died in a Sil- verton_hntel was admittedly at times a Ird drinker. Home men will lind |ys and means of procuring liquor to tietc their olttimes inherited thirst, fen to stealing ii, and we can honestly li conscientiously fay we have seen ch characters turned away from tbe Urs of all the Silverton hotel**, even kmgli they had tho necessary price. |t what happens then 7 Those who fcw anything of the dreadful iiquor |s* will ogiee with us that whisky le.edfd by a poor wretch during his Iring off stage. Cut off sueh a man's pply suddenly, and in nine cases out ften you will have a raving delilious (inatic on your hands. We cannot be- teve it of any man that lie is trying to Brink himself to death ; on the contrary, ^lias been, noted that such men are ,'anxious to tap*? off when too near danger /.one, and ho will often Thus it goes on. Not in a fit condition -try often to regulate his needed periodical "'jolts," they ure taken fast and furious until the last dregs have vanished. If he has money he gets more packed to him ; if not, he crawls a pitiful object to the saloons ami hovers around the door to beg orlstcal a drink, It is a loathsome picture, but it is justified in that lhe subject may be better grasped. With no home ties, affections, or elevating influences around hiin, he is to Mrs. (Irunny a social pariah, aud is ostracized from society. N,o kind words are uttered to bim by those whose mission it Bhould bo to do bo, for fear .* what Mrs. Grundy might say if lie or she were seen hobnobbing with a person of questionable habits. They are too apt to pans by on the other side with a horrified look on their faces and words of unjust criticism on their lips directed against tho proprietor of the house at which tlie poor wntch is neaiest to at that moment. It does not come within Mrs. Grundy's range to ascertain how and where heJ_obtai:>ed the liquor. It haa never occurred to Ihein that a drunken man is us much a hindrance to a hotel man running a half decent housefas ho would be to any other kind of business man, but yet .it often happens that, for fear of what Mrs. Grundy might say the poor devil is brought ill from the street to the hotel and allowed to sleep off a little of the effect of his libations. We have in mind a case, by citing which, we.hope to better illustrate our meaning, and nil the circumstances came under our own personal observation. Some six months ago there came to a cet tain town a man badly under tho inlluence. Nobody know him. He was just the Man from Nowhere. He was penniless, but for s nimth he remained n town always in a la sotted condition. J*, is certain ihat, no hotel man wai giving him whisky, and lots of it, for nothing. When after nil efforts had failed to induce this worthless fellow to go to work, he wub told to " hit the grit," which ho did after a jyhile. Six weeks later we visited another town, and there we again encountered the man, still broke, itill drunk. To all it was a mystery where he got the liquor, Tho proprietor told us in confidence he w��s getting alarmed for the man. For a month, lie still, the man had hud around, "eating barely enough to keep body and foul of an infant together. He c-jncluded, perhaps rightly, that the man regularly ,stole a bottle of liquor every mnrnins from oue of tbe bars in the town fcWentnally he went as he came, qnietly, and without ft " By your leave." A month later we met. the Man from Nowhere again, and tbe old story was again unfolded lo us by a hotel mau in anew town. Three davs later we encountered him again in yet another part cf the district, but this time, the man appeared to bu almost in extremis. We felt it incumbent upon us to communicate our knowledge of the man to the proprietor. The bartender was for telling the mau to instantly " git," but wu admit the remarks and subsequent action of tho landlord knocked us somewhat of a heap. " Look bore," he said, " that prior devil nfods attention, nnd quick too. I know if he dies in this house I will bo blamed for it; but what am I to do ? We have no doctor or hospital, ami the man is broke. I can't kick him out into the street to die like a -log! " And with Ihat lie took the man to bed and put him under the sole charge of* tv trustworthy fellow. He next wrote out a notice, which ho posted In the bar, calling fur thc co-operation of hia patrons in his endeavor to prevent" thp indiscriminate supply ol liquor to tho sick man. The,' man is now alive and well. But. liarking'back to the circumstances attending the case at Silverton, it ought to be known tl\at the man suffered greatly from kidney trouble and a derangement of the bladder, and when under tho inlluence of strong drink his weakness was very pronounced. It can be Imagined that under such conditions ho was not a very desirable boarder, and after having some words *y**rarding the matter with one hotel proprietor, lie was refu'sed further admissiou to lhe hotel until he s DOl'Ou np, Slocan Xake Jrmt Hanoe* Better 1 It was after this that he changed his location, and the proprietor of the Windsor took him in, his wad liy this time being at, the vanishing point. By reason of Iuh affliction a room was prepared for him at the top of the building. He slaved around all day and later complained of excrnliat irg -gains in his head. Getting worse, he was put to bed and the proprietor himself journeyed to New Denver for the doctor, but the man expired before medical assistance, could arrive. The Coroner was summoned, and after an exanilnarion of the remains an inquest was deemed unnecessary. It wns palpable that kidney and bladder trouble contributed largely to the man's demise, add to which the bursting of a blood vessel or an hemorrhage occurring In the man's head a few minut'es beiore life became extinct, Blood (lowed copiously from the ears, nose and mouth. These harrowing details would never hnvo been dragged from us but for the fact that indi*.criminate writings have left a stigma upon one whom investigation proves tho conveyed hints and accusations are unwarranted. Of course there are two sides to a picture. The accusers learn of the man's death in the hotel and at once put their own construction upon it. It was hardly fair, though, to rui-h into print without being acquainted with the fact, and the ultima tluilo is reached if to forward a temperance propaganda a scapegoat has to be made of any man. It is not fair to Infer that Silverton ia a harder drinking camp than any other our experience of western mining camps forces from us a different conclusion. Let usfcy all means battle with the excessive drinking curse, but let us proceed to do thia in a manner that will meet with approval, and our tactics be such as will_redound to our credit.

Had it not been for the presence of Dr. Holbrook, who accepting Guy's invitation to tea, rode back with him to Aikenside, Mra. Agnes woukf have gone off into a passion when told that Jessie had been "exposed to fever and mercy knows what." "There's no telling what one will catch among the very poor/' she said to Dr. Holbrook, as she clasped and unclasped the heavy gold bracelets flashing on her whit^, round arm. "I'll be answerable for any disease Jessie caught at Mr. Markham's," the doctor replied. "At Mr. Who's? Whnt did you call him?" Agnes asked, the bright color on her cheek fading as the doctor replied : ^- "Markham���an old man who lives in Honedale. You never knew him, of course." Involuntarily Agnes glanced at Guy, in whose eye there was, as she fancied, a peculiar expression. Could it be he knew the secret she guarded so carefully? Impossible, she said to herself; but still the white fingers trembled as she handled the china and silver, and for once she was glad when the doctor took his leave, and she was alone with Jessje. "What was that girl's name?" Bhe asked, "the one you went to see?" "Maddy, mother���Madeline Clyde. She'B so pretty. I'm going'to see her again. May I?" Agnes did not reply directly, but continued to question the child with regard to the cottage which Jessie thought so funny, slanting away back, she said, so that the roof on one side almost touched the ground. The window panes, too, were so very, tiny, and the room where Maddy lay sick was small and low. "Yes, yes, I know," Agnes said at last, impatiently, weary of hearing of the cottage whose humble exterior and interior she knew so much better than Jessie herself. But this was not to be divulged; for surely the haughty Agnes Remington, who, in*. Boston, aspired to lead in society into which, as the wife of Dr. Remington, she had been admitted, and who, in Aikenside, was- looked upon with envy, could have nothing in common with the red cottage or its inmates. So when Jessie asked again if she could not visit Maddy on the morrow, she answered decidedly: "No. daur'iter, no. I do not wish you to associate with such people," and when Jessie insisted on knowing why she must not associate with sueh people ns Maddy Clyde, the answer was: "Because you are a Remington," and as if this of itself were an unanswerable objection, Agnes sent her child from her, refusing to talk longer on a subject so disagreeable to her and so suggestive of the past. It was all in vain that Jessie, and even Guy himself, tried to revoke the decision. Jessie should not be permitted to come in contact with that kind of people, she said, or incur the risk of catching that dreadful fever. So day after day, while life and health were slowly throbbing through her veins. Maddy waited and longed for the little girl whose one visit to her sick room sc-med so much like a dream. From hor grandfather she had heard the good news of Guy Remington's generosity, and that, quite as much as Br. Holbrook's medicines, helped to bring the color back to the pallid cheek and tlie brightness to her eyes. She was asleep the first time the doctor came after the occasion of Jessie's visit, and as sleep, he said, would do her more good than anything he might prescribe, he did not awaken her; but for a long time, as it seemed to Grandma Markham. who stood very little in awe of the Boston doctor, he watched her as she slept, now clasping the blue-veined wrist as he felt for the pulse, and now wiping from her forehead the drops of swent, or pushing back her soft, damp hair. It would be three days before he could Fee her again, for a stek father in Cambridge needed his attention, and after numerous directions as to the administering of sundry powders and pills, he left her, feeling that the next three days would be long ones t*. him. Dr. Holbrooli did not stop to analyze the nature of his interest in Madily Clyde���an interest so different from any he hud ever felt before for his patients; and even if he had sought to solve the riddle, he would hnve said that the knowing how he had wronged her was the sole cause of his thinking far more of her and of her case than of the thirty other patients on his list. Dr. Holbrook was a handsome man, a- thorough scholar, nnd a most skillful physician; but ladies who expected from him those little polite attentions which the sex value so highly, generally expected in vain, for he was no ladies' man, and his language and manners were oftentimes abrupt, even when both were prompted by the utmost kindness of heart. In his organization, too, there was not a quick perception of what would be exactly appropriate, and so, when, at last, he was about starting to visit Maddy again, he puzzled his brains until they fairly ached with wondering what he could do to give her a pleasant surprise nnd sho*v that he was not as formidable a personage as her past experience might lead her to think. "If I could only take her something," he said, glancing ruefully around his office. "_>low, if she were JeBsie, nuts and raisins might answer���but she must not eat such trash as that," and he Bet himself to think again, just as Guy Remington rode up, bearing in his hand a most exquisite bouquet, whose fragrance filled the niedicine-odored office at once, and whose beauty elicited an exclamation of delight even from the matter-of-fact Dr. Holbrook. "I thought you might be going down to * Honedale, as I knew you returned last night, so I brought theBe flowers for your patient with my compliments, or if you prefer I give them to you, and you can thus present them as if eoming from yourself." \ "As if I would do that," the doctor answered, taking the bouquet in bja band tin*, .butter to examine and adthiriT it." "Did you arrange it. Or your gardener?" he asked, and when Guy replied that the merit of arrangement, if merit there were, belonged to himself, he began to deprecate hia own awkwardness and want of tact. "Here I have been cudgeling my head this half-hour trying to think what I could take her as a peace offering, and could think of nothing, while you Well, you and 1 are different entirely. You know just what is proper���just what to Bay, and when to say it���while I am a perfect bore, and without doubt shall make some ludicrous blunder in delivering the flowers. To-day will be the first time really .that we meet, as she was sleeping when 1 was there last, while on all other occasions she has paid no attention whatever to me." For a moment Guy regarded his friend attentively, noticing now that extra care had been bestowed upon his toilet, that the collar was fresh from the laundry, and the new cravat tied in a most unexceptionable manner, instead of being twisted into a hard knot, with ike ends looking as if they had been chewed. "Doc," he said, when his survey was completed "how old are you��� twenty-five or twenty-six?" "T\yenty-five���just your age���why?" and the doctor looked with an expression so wholly innocent of Guy's real meaning that the latter, instead of telling why, replied: "Oh! nothing; only I was wondering if you would do to be my father Agnes,'I verily believe, is more than half in love with you; but, on the whole, I would not like to be your son; so I guess you'd better take someone younger���say Jessie. You an* only eighteen years her senior." The doctor stared at him amazed, and when he had finished said with the utmost candor: "What has ttiat to do with Madeline? I thought we were talking of her." "Innocent as the newly-born bahe," was Guy's mental comment, as he congratulated himself on his larger and more varied experience. And truly Dr. Holbrook was as simple-hearted as a child, never dreaming of Guy's meaning,\ or that any emotion save a perfectly proper one had a lodgment in his breast as he drove down to Honedale, guarding carefully Guy's bouquet, and wishing he knew just what he ought to say when he presented it. Maddy had gained rapidly the last three days. Good nursing and the doctor'^ medicines were working mir acles, and on the morning when the doctor, with Guy's bouquet, was riding rapidly toward Honedale, she was feeling so much better that in view of his coming she asked if. she could not be permitted to receive him sitting in the rocking-chair, instead of lying there in bed, and when this plan was vetoed as utterly impossible, she asked anxiously: "And must I see him in this nightgown Can't I have on my pink gingham wrapper?" Hitherto Maddy had been too sick to care at all nbout her personal appearance, but it was different now. She did care, and thoughts of meeting again the handsome, stylish-looking man who had asked her to eon- jugate amo, and whom she fully believed to be Dr. Holbrook, made her rather nervous. Dim remembrances she had of someone gliding in and out, and when the pain and noise in her head was at its highest, a hand, large, and, oh I so cool, had been laid upon her temples, quieting their throbbings, and making the blood course less madly through the swollen veins. They had told her how kind, how attentive he had been, and to herself she had said: "He's sorry about that certificate. He wishes to show uie that he did not mean to be unkind. Yes; I forgive him; for [ really was very stupid that afternoon." And so, in a most forgiving frame of mind. Maddy submitted to the snowy robe which grandma brought in place of the coveted gingham wrapper, and which became her well, with its daintily crimped ruffles about the neck and wrists. Those wrists and hands! , How white ami small they had grown ! and Madty yighed, as her grandmother buttoned together the wristbands, lo set ho.v loose the wrapper was. "I have been very sick," she said. "Are my cheeks as thin as my arms?" They were not. though they had lost some of their symmetrical roundness. Still there was much of childish beauty in the young, eager face, and the hair had lost comparatively none of its glossy brightness. "That's him," grandma said, as the sound of a horse's gallop was heard, and in a moment the doctor reined up before the gate. From Mrs. Markham, who met him in the door, he learned how much better she was; also how "she has been reckoning on this visit, making herself all a-swent about it." Suddenly the doctor felt- returning nil his old dread of Maddy Clyde. Why should she worry herself into a sweat? What was there in that visit different from any other? Nothing, he said to himself, nothing; and yet he, too, had been more anxious about it than any he had ever paid. Depositing his hat and gloves upon the table, he followed Mrs. Markham up the stairs, vaguely consciotiB of wishing she would stay down, and very conscious of feeling glad; when just at Maddy's door and opposite a little window, she espied the hens busily engaged in devouring the yeast cakes with which she had taken so much pains, and which Bhe had placed in the hot sun to dry. Finding that they paid no heed to her loud "Shoo, shoo," Bhe started herself to drive tliem away, telling the doctor to go right on and to help himself. The perspiration was standing under Maddy's ha'r by this time, and when the doctor stepped acroBS the threshold, and she knew he really was coming near her, it oozed out upon her forehead in big, round drops, while her cheeks glowed with a feverish heat. Thinking he should get along with it better if he treated her just as he would Jessie, the doctor confronted her at once, and asked *. "How is my little patient to-day?" A faint scream broke from Maddy's lips, and she involuntarily raised her luuul.* t_�� tlu-iut tho atroiurar awav.

The doctor fancied her delirious again, and this reassured him at once. Dropping the bouquet upon the bed, he clasped one of her hands in his, and without the slightest idea that she comprehended him. said, Boothingly: "Poor child, are you afraid of me ���the doctor, Dr. Holbrook?" Maddy did not try to withdraw her hand, but raising her eyes, swimming in tears,- to his face, she stammered out: "What does it mean, and where is he���the one who���asked me���those dreadful questions? I thought that was Dr. Holbrook." Here was a dilemma���something for which the doctor was not prepared, ami with a feeling that he would not betray Guy, he said:" "No; that was someone else ��� a friend of mine���but I was there in the back office. Don't you remember me? Please don't grow excited. Compose yourself, and I will explain all by and by. This is wrong. 'Twill never do," and talking thus rapidly he wiped away the sweat, about which grandma had told him. Maddy was disappointed, and it took her some time to rally sufficiently to convince the doctor that she was not flighty, ns he termed it; but composing herself nt last, she answered all his questions, and then, as he saw her eyes wandering toward the bouquet, lie suddenly remembered that it was not yet presented, and placing it in her hands, he said: "You like flowers, I know, and these are for you. I " "Oh! thank you, thank you, doctor; I am so glad. I love them so much, nnd you are so kind. What made you think to bring them? 1 wanted flowers so badly; but I could not have them, because I was sick and did not work in the garden, tt was bo good in you," and in her delight Mfvddy's tears dropped upon the fair blossoms. . For a moment the doctor was sorely tempted to keep the credit thus enthusiastically given; but he was too truthful for tbat, and bo watching her as her eyes glistened with pleasure, he said; "I am glad you like them. Miss- Clyde, and so will Mr. Remington be. He sent them to you from his conservatory." "Not Mr. Remington from Aikenside���not Jessie's brother?" and Maddy's eyes now fairly danced as tbey sought the doctor's face. "Yes, Jessie's brother. He came here with her. He is* interested in you, and brought these do-jfii this morning." "It was Jessie, I guess, who sent them," Maddy suggested, but the doctor persisted that it was Guy. "He wished me to present them with his compliments. He thought they might please you." "Oh! they do,v tliey do!" Maddy replied. "They almost make me well. Tell him how much I thank him, and like him, to, though I never saw him." The doctor opened his lips to tell her she had seen him, but changed his mind ere the words were utterd. She might not think as well of Guy, he thought, and there was no harm in keeping it back. So Maddy had no suspicion that the face she thought of so much belonged to Guy Remington. She had never seen him, of course; but she hoped she would some time, so as tc*. thank him for his generosity to her grandfather and his kindness to herself. Then, as she remembered the message she had sent him, she began to think that it sounded too familiar, and said to lhe doctor: "If you please, don't tell Mr. Remington that I said I liked him��� only thnt I thank him. He would think it queer for a poor girl like me to send such word to him. He is very rich, and handsome, and splendid, isn't he?" "Yes, Guy's rioh and handsome, and everybody likes him. We were in college together." "You were?" Maddy exclaimed. "Then you know him weil, and Jes sie, and you've been to Aikensidt often? There's nothing in the worrd ;'l want so much as to go to Aikei. side. They sny it is so beautiful." "Maybe I'll carry you up then- some day when you are strong enough to ride," the doctor answered, thinking of his light buggy at home, and wondering he hnd not used it more, instead of always riding on horseback. Dr. Holbrook looked much oldei .than he was, and to Mnddy he seemed quite fatherly, so that the idea of riding with him. aside from the honor it might be to her, struck her much as riding with Fnrmer Green would have done. The doctor, too, imagined that his proposition was prompted solely from disinterested motives, but he found himself wondering how long it would be before Maddy would he able to ride n little distance, juBt over the hill nnd back. He was tiring her nil out talking to her; but somehow it was very delightful there in that sick room, with the summer sunshine stealing through th^window and falling upon the soft reddish- brown head resting on the pillows. Once he fixed those pillows, arranging them so nicely that grandma, whc had come in from her hens and yeast cakes, declared "he was as handj as a woman," and after receiving a few general directions with regard te the future, "guessed, if he wasn't in a hurry, she'd leave him with Mad dy a spell, as there were a few chores she. must do."

Inside and Outside Thieves In th* Big Department Stores. The fixed charges of a department store most cover the loss ot breakage ind genera! destruction, the failure if goods to sell aud theft. The cheaper stores suffer more seriously from thieving than the higher priced ones because Vieir employees are less trustworthy. For years the proprietors estimated that Iheir theft losses were due half to tlieir dishonest employees and half to outsiders, but not one of them would venture to estimate the total. Tbere is n curious staudard of ethics among some of the employees. They *Uo uot regard taking articles for their own use us theft, whereas to take them for some one else, even a member of the family, is plaiu robbery. Almost never are these -guilty ones prosecuted, even If they are detected and tbe proof Is conclusive Tbey are discharged, of course, and notices are posted in the dressing room explaining the reason. But when an employee steals goods to sell and Is caught arrest follows. Professional shoplifters bave been largely eliminated owing to systematic prosecution. By far tlie greatest number of thefts committed by outsiders nre traced to women, usually reputable, who yield ton sudden temptation.

I used many remedies but they did not help me. - Finally a friend advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 did so and today, thanks to tlie pilfs, I am a perfectly well man." This very emphatic statement is made by Mr. R. L. Porter, of Mait- land, N.S. Mr. Porter is a fisherman, and naturally a hard working man, ���subject to much exposure. He further says: "I was in a state of debility nnd bloodlessness. Sometimes I could attend to my work, but often was too weak and miserable to do so. I was wakeful and restless at night, and could not eat in the morning. I was* troubled with pains in my back and shoulders; sometimes I could hardly straighten up. Then indigestion came to add to my misery, and my condition was one that made me almost hopeless. I tried several medicines���but in vain.

Here is the story of a graft so simple and effective to work that,some enter prising stranger should patent it. II was practiced by a New York genius and had Its try-out on the rfespectable upper west side of the big city. The originator set out dressed as a workman, his clothes rusty, but neatly patched. Arriving In the neighborhood he had deeided to work, he stepped Into mi arch way and, hauling* out a knife, slit the right leg of his trousers from hip to knee. Next he produced a newspaper, spread It out and held It over the silt In his trousers. Leaving the areb way, he hurried along the sidewalk, making apparently a great effort to hold the newspaper ln place. The wind was blowing and whoever cared to look noticed the man's predicament. At the steps of a big house In Seventy-second street he stopped nnd pretended to tie the paper about I..3 leg. Ky a perhaps not very strange Chance, since the hour was 5:15 p. m.. the owner of tbe house appeared. The grafter greeted the man briefly, lifted tbe newspaper nnd remarked: "I Just hnd an accident over on Columbus avenue. Truck shoved me against a stake and tore me pante somethin' awful. Wonder if you couldn't lend me some safety plus?" It was successful. From that house ihe mnn curried nway uot only n readily snlnble pair of trousers, but n hat and coat as well. A quick trip to n eorner saloon to deposit his bundle, nnd the tnle of the torn trousers le? was earrled to another house in the block.

" 'Then here is my own cross for you; 1 make you chevalier.' " 'Your Majesty names me chevalier because I have lost one arm I What would your Majesty have done had I lost both arms?' " 'Oh, in that ease I should have made you Officer of the Legion.' "Whereupon the old soldier immediately drew his sword and cut off hiB other arm." There is no particular reason to doubt this story. The only question is, how did he do it. Monorail in India India's Government is making a practical test of a monorail system. It is described as follows:��� "On grooved wheels, arranged tandem fashion, is carried a platform. The grooved wheels run upon a rail which projects an inch or two above the ground. Another wheel, of large diameter and having a broad tread, is attached to the car by a hinged arm working on springs. This wheel ia light in construction any) weight. It is merely the balance wheel and is placed a few inches from one side of the car and runs on the road. It carries no load whatever, the whole load being on tlie rail and the central wheels, but it effectually prevents tne cars being overbalanced. On this monorail road tlie power of a pair of draft uninials is multiplied by ten and of traction engines by nearly twenty, and the line is capable of being laid lis rapidly as any army can move."

WHY BRITISH OFFIOERS CANNOT LIVE ON THEIR PAY. Increased Efficiency of All Ranks- Arms a Serious Profession ��� No Longer an Alternative to Idleness��� Military Life Involves Heavy Expense���Pay Whollv Inadequate to the Position. The manoeuvres of the First British Army CorpB mark not only the term of Sir John French's command at Alder-shot, but also the close of the drill season, which hnB been remarkable for thf freshness which has characterized the schemes Bet by senior offi: cers and by the keenness which all grades have apparently displayed in carrying out the heavy tasks frequently allotted to them. * It does not need a very close observer to be convinced that a sense of reality, born of interest in their profession, is permeating all- ranks of the army, but it may perhaps require something more than a Hiip.rflcial study to detect in how great a degree this condition of things is due to the enormously increased efficiency of the British officer. It is beyond all doubt that the ofli- eor of to-day, whatever his rogiment or rank, cannot ba charged with eating the bread of idleness, and that he haa responded to the call made upon his industry and intelligence with an alacrity and zeal alike admirable. The profession of arms nowadays is not only a serious profession, but is one which precludes almost absolutely outside interests being pursued contemporary with it , Former Years. In former years, wnen a young mnn regarded tlie army merely as an agreeable and decorative alternative to complete idleness, it was quite logical that he Bhould put the State to no expense for his maintenance, and quite excusable that he should make frequent tugs at the parental purse strings for those expenses which his allowance was obviously unable to defray. But nowndays, when the regimental officer, from the colonel to the probationer, has to devote all hiB time and energy to his work, when, for some years of service, nt any rate he ia no longer able to take any part in the management of his paternal estate or in the conduct of political, or even private, affairs, it does seem a little hard that he should be charged for his services to his country. It is, of course, admitted that an officer can live in comfort on the pay and allowances - hieh service in India prescribe, and that there exist certain well-remunerated appointments, such as thot of military attache, which' enable their fortunate holders to husband th"ir privete resources very satisfactorily though the cost of living in seyral Ruroneen caoitals is very eonsVWnbly higher than in London. It is. however, quite impossible for a subaltern in nn infantry regiment of the line to live in comfort without a private income of ��200 n year, while for a cavalry officer the minimum figure would probably be three times that amount. Curtailing Expenses. Ah immense deal hns been lately done���and to n point rifhtly done���in the. direction of rnvrtntlinc rovimental expenses, but when due discount hns been allowed for this the neeessnry cost of life in a oi-vttry corns is n serious matter, pstvcisllv when it is remembered that the officers nre for the most part drawn from that social section which ie st"*Tr"**rlr,r. undT the weivht n* nr*rier'H--,.nl de'p-ession.

It has been lately nrrnnred that the gubultem officers residing in burrae'---** enn be provided with breakfast, while n generous and time-honored allowance is mode for the King's Bunrd nt St. J��men' Palace ; but, with these inconsiderable exceptions, the ynung Guardsman has to provide for himself at a club or restaurant. The Guards' Club replaces very agreeably all the comforts and conveniences of a mesa, but the prices which a first-rate and very select club is compelled to charge differ sharply from those which are possible under conditions in barrackB. The young offloer whose home is in London, or who can spend his leave under his father's roof, if, of course, able to make important economies, and with care Bhould be content on an allowance of ��300 a year; but if he has.to look onlv to his own resources for "board and lodging" throughout the year, nothing less than ��500 a year Would be at all adequate to his requirements. Even the large increase of purely military work involves a oertain increase of expense. Life in camp, staff rides, the extra coaching for the frequent and exacting examinations, the study of Continental battlefields, the countieas other items can be added to the matters of necessity for an officer in the Guards who wishes to advance, and which fifty years ago were wholly unknown Of course, the most expensive corps nre to be found, in the three regiments of Household Cavalry���which by-the- by, an expert recently pronounced to be the hardest working units in the army, as they have to keep themselves up to the highest standing of military efficiency with a vast amount of purely ceremonial duty to boot. No parent or t'u.irdian would dream of placing a youth in one of these regiments unless he could sustain the initial expense of ��1,000, roughly divided equally between chnrgers and outfit, with a minimum allowance of ��1,- 000 a year. Hmay, indeed, be said of the Household troops generally that, excepting in a few isolated cases, their expen- liture iB really but little in excess of what is absolutely necessary, and that .n their services the state continues o make a very pretty if rather one* uded bargain.

The cost of living has within the last few years noticeably increased throughout the civilized world, but more noticeably than anywhere else in Western Canada. To quote a few fig- ares, house rents in Victoria and Van- souver, have advanced on the average at. least one-third, if not one-half. In- itances could be cited when; tliey have been doubled. Where working men do not own their own homea, it is no uncommon thing for them to pay $30 to $40 a month in Vancouver, and $25 to $30 in Victoria, writes the editor of Westward Ho! Two years ago furnished houses of five or six rooms were plentiful at $30 per month, to-day they are scarce at $50. Similarly the cost of food.of every kind has increased to an alarming extent. Fruit is at least twice as dear; meat, milk ahd Bven bread have advanced from 20 per cent, to 30 per cent., whilst bacon and cheese are 50 per cent, dearer, these are the staples which every man oiust buy. Clothing is dearer, although not to the same extent a�� food and rent, probably 20 per osnt, to 25 per cent, would cover this, but it is doubtful if the quality is not deteriorating. Extras are constantly rising in value. At 60 cents for a shave and haircut, a barber becomes a luxury, and when oue reflects that in any Knglish city this service costs the working man but six cents, there is no wonder that the newcomer gasps when he receives his check. The consequence is that although high wage., are paid tlie cost of living is proportionately high, and in order to save dilieieiit methods have to be employed to those which are in vogue in the Old Country. One result is the common practice of letting rooms, or giving meals, which ia very general iu the West, another is the system hy which even married women will take a busineaa position as well as endeavor to discharge their household duties. Western Canada ia seeking immigrants; in British Columbia at any rate the population shows hut a slight increase. There is an alarming scarcity of labor, and the attractions of the province have not hitherto proved sufficient for people of our own race. Warnings proverbially fall on deaf ears, but it cannot be too widely known that in the West, or at any rate in the cities oi the West, artificial means are employed to maintain the costs of livng %t a high level. In tnis way merchants and workmen play into each other's hands. In order to justify high wages it is necessary to demonstrate that the cost of living is high, so there are combines'which keep up the price of fruit, of vegetables, and of meat, to say nothing of milk and bread. But- ter, which is retailed at 45 cents and e /en 50 cents a pound, yields the fanner but 25 cents, within a few miles of the place where it is sold. No one wants to sec the West become a low wage country; on the other hand, no one zealous tor its welfare and prosperity will desire to see its progress hampered by an excessive cost of living. In any event it is only fair that those who are so urgent in their demands for white labor should represent conditions as they actually exist. It hurts the province far more ti have a few men come here under the impression that wages are double whnt, they are in Kngland and the cost of living very little more, than to tell the plain truth. In the former case the disappointed immigrant becomes nn aggressive anti-immigration agent; in the Litter he knows beforehand what conditions to expect and if he comes is more likely to remain. Some Fine Old English Examples. Why does not Vancouver follow the example of self-sacrifice set by the great, English cities nnd permit itself to he swrmped by a flood of yellow, brown aud black men?

AT ALL GROCERS Ways of the Telephone Trust, or Many Problems Involved Government ownership and operation of telephones involves many problems ot importance. The Bell Telephone Company, both of the United States and Canada, enjoyed a monopoly of the business during tlie life of tlie Bell patents. The management of the monopoly grew rich and arrogant, conducted the business in an obnoxious and inconsiderate manner and, in general, incurred the dislike of tlie people. As a result, thousnnds of Independent telephone companies sprang into existence in the United States and it is said that their combined service exceeds that of the Bell Telephone Company. ln Canada the Independent movement has been much slower, but it has at last broke forth and many Independent operating companies are being organized. In tlie Western Provinces, * where whole municipalities are being peopled in a year,*.the slow-going, arrogant methods of tho Bell Company and its refusal to give telephone service to rural communities lias led to the building of Government telephone systems. - Even ior a time ufter the patents of the Bell Company had expired, both in Canada and the States, the Bell Company refused to sell telephones to the Independent Companies. As a result of this attitude of tlie Bell Company and the great Independent or opposition growth, many telephone manufacturing companies have mown up and prospered in the United States and the Bell Company haB been torced to change its policy, both in the operating and manufacturing field. For years the Bell Company refused to give any farmer line or rural telephone service unless the entire coat of construction and installation was advanced by the subscribers and a heavy yearly rental guarantee. Now, wherever competition exists, the one-time arrogant and unmanageable Bell Company is either installing rural lines or offering connections for rural lines at low cost to the farmers and municipalities who will install their own local lines. In the manufacturing field the policy is also changed. Not only is the Bell Telephone Company willing and anxious to sell telephones and telephone supplies to farmers and others, but even goes to the extreme and manufactures under different names and denies its identity in order to fool tlie Independents and thus get their money and gain possession of their, pinna of development. The Kellogg Switchboard & Supply Co., of Chicago, Illinois', is a notable illustration of this policy in the Slates. Even in Canada a notable change hns most suddenly come over t.ie once arrnfant and stiff-necked Bell management, and the Northern Electric Company of "Montreal has opened an office in Winnipeg and hns an agent hustling for Western business. Both the Kellogg Company and the Northern Electric Company are out and out Bell Companies, owned and controlled by the Bell Company, but working under separate names and separate management in order to fool the public. Any Independent telephone company, or Province, or Municipality, who dealB with either of the above named Bell Companies not only encourages and aids the Bell Telephone monopoly financially, hut furnishes to their enemy and competitor, the Bell Telephone Company, advance knowledge of the amount of business that said Company or Government intends to do.
