The Rev. Mr. Bowell will preach in Homer Street Methodist Church, Vancouver. At the last meeting of Westminster City Council, Alderman John? son suggested that Btcps should be taken to induce the Grent Northern Company to run a market train over the B, C. section of their road every Friday. It would be a fine thing if the Great Northern rnilwny could he made of some benefit to the people of the municipality it runs through. Threshing is in progress nt Mud Bny, nnd a large quantity of grain hns been put in snek this week. Last week, the threshing machine was at the farm of the Messrs. Crandall, a mile from Cloverdnle, and the output was 1,100 sacks of superior onts and whent. This is the lurgest amount of grain yet grown on this farm which has heretofore been largely seeded to hay, As an amateur fruit growpr, the Editor of Surrey Timks has lately been seeking information on some matters that troubled him In regard (o apple growing. The desired information has been received during tlie last few days, and we intend to give our subscribers the benefit of it in our next issue. The points, wo believe, will be found of concern to all who grow apples, or intend to grow them. Mas, Pa. Wilson and Mrs. Harris, of Vancouver, who hnvo been spending a few weeks with Mr. John Wilson, of Langley, brother of MrB. Harris, drove down to Cloverdnle on Wednesday to visit Mrs. Galbraith an old-time neighbor. Tlie ladies were curious to see a cream separator in operation, nnd were escorted tn the adjoining dniry of Messrs. Lyte A Whittnker, where Mr. Lyte, with his customary kindness, set tlie machine agoing, and generally made tilings pleasant for his visitors, who came away greatly pleased. A Qi'iKT wedding took place at Holy Trinity Cathedral, New Westminster on Tuesday morning, at 11 o'clock, when the rector, ltev. A. Shildrick, joined in holy matrimony Mr. W. J. Moggridge, of liclle Meade Farm, Hall's I'rairie, and Miss Madeline Alexander, of England, sister of Mrs. C. I). Moggridge. Only a few, including Mr. and Mrs. C. D, Moggridge, witnessed the wedding, and there was no bridesmaid or groomsman, After tlio ceremony, the party brenkfast- cd at the Hotel Gulchon, und the happy couple left by the afternoon train for Harrison Hot Springs, where the honeymoon will be spent. Surrey Times had n cull on Wednesday from Mr. .1. T. Wilkinson, better known, perhaps, as the "World Man on' the Wing," who has been mnking the round of Surrey in the interest of the journal he represents. Ilo is a most affable quill-driver, arid after having hnd experience of his genial und insinuating munnors, we do not wonder at his success as a canvasser or the esteem in which his services are held by the World management Along with his journalistic connection. Mr. Wilkinson is nn enthusiastic stock breeder, a trait in which he follows his father; who is one of the host known stockmen in Eastern Canada, and noted for his sheep and pigs. Lust year the Berkshire herd of the elder Wilkinson won np loss than 95 first prizes. J. T. Wilkinson was the pioneer importer of thoroughbred stock in Chilliwack, whero his home is, and fornuiny yours he won every prize hp competed for with his Southdown sheep. This yenr he made a fresh importation of Southdown sheep und Berkshire swine, nnd in the latter it is probable lie will make neighbor Shannon, of Surrey, look after his laurels at the exhibitions this fall. Mr. Wilkinson also owns u number of standard bred trotting horses of high merit. We published last week the times and places at which the Travelling Dairy would be exhibited in Westminster District. According to that announcement, which wns the same ns in the city papers, Surrey Centre would be visited on the 10th, 17th, nnd 18th of September. Since then posters have been received from the B. C. Agricultural Association announcing that Prof. Robertson will accompany the Dairy to Victoria, where it will be operated at the exhibition from Sept. 17th to 21st. This, of course, conflicts with the Surrey Centre appointment. The Secretary of the Surrey Agricultural Society is endeavoring to ar- range for the dairy to be u feature of the Exhibition here on Sept. 25th. The Idea ? *of Seneca G. Ketchum I It is n decidedly bright Idea, and is published weekly in Vancouver. Two or three numbers have reached our table and entire- fill the idea of piquant and witty presentation of things of interest to everybody. We remember Seneca when he was a very small "gaffer," though even at that early age the orginator of a joke that became school property, though the boys didn't imngine then tliat the precocious humorist would develope into one of the cleverest of Canadian journalistic wits, The title of "The Idea ?" contains asuggestivequery, but Seneca's friends need feel no uneasiness. Long may he and his Idea flourish. Cloverdale is hemmed around by grnin fields, nnd the harvesting of them hns made a busy scene the past ten days. All last week the "click" of the binder kept telling of a bountiful harvest, mude more manifest by tlie wide arrny of golden sheaves in stook. This week, from our office door, could be seen a half-dozen wagons busy hauling the seasoned product of the fields to cover in the barns, The bulk is snfely gathered, but Messrs. Lyte & Wnlttaker, who fnrm over n hundred ncrcs, have still a considerable quantity out, Mr, Sam, Shannon left on our table on Monday, a phenomenal twig of delicious plums. The twig was ten inches long, and was so clustered about with fruit that no part of the wood could be seen The cluster weighed three pounds, nnd wus of the green gage variety, the best of all plums. The fruit came from the orchard of Mr. Thos. Shannon, adjoining Cloverdale. Sohool Inspector Burns is on his rounds through this part of the 1'rovinoe. and is inspecting the Cloverdnle school to-day. An item in Monday's Columbian states that the well-known produce inn of Youdall & Sinclair huve dissolved partnership, the business being continued by Mr. Sinclair. Rev. Mu. Best, of Westminster, who exchanged pulpits with Rev. Mr. Bowell on Sunday last, had good attendances nt tho Severn 1 stations of Tinehead Clayton, nnd Cloverdnle, and, as usual, his sermons were much appreciated. Tiik present season lias been the dryest known iiere for some yeurs. A good mnny wells have gone dry, and somp people ure put to inconvenience for wnter, though happily no greater than the carrying of it from the undiminished wells of kindly neighbors. Ii' j'ou have anything to sell advertise in Surrey Timesaridypu will soon find customers. A good part of the black currant bushes we had for snlc huve been disposed of already. We have a few hundred one yenr old Black Naples, Jiluck Champion, and Lee's Prolific that we will sell extra cheap. There is a black and white bull roaming at large through the streets of Cloverdale, and if the owner docs not close him up promptly, there will he a job for Magistrate Shannon, The bull does not ap- pear to he cross, but he terrifies the children going to and from school. The annual exhibition of Surrey Agricultural Association is now only a few weeks off, the date being Sept. 25th. Parties desiring to muke entries may do so ut nny time, the sooner the better, und new members should now be looking after enrollment. The Secretary may always be found at Si'ii- hky Timks office. Major Hornby, of Nicomekl, hus commenced the erection of u large and commodious residence on his property south of the Nicomekl river. The lumber and other building material arrived some dnys ngo, having been towed up the river on scows to the railway crossing. The Major intends to enlarge his hop yard, and will also devote a considerable area to the culture of small fruit. Mr. Daxikl Johnston, of Mud Bay, is nn. experienced cheese maker, and also one of Surrey's most progressive farmers. In talking over dniry matters Inst week, he expressed his belief that something must be done this winter to establish in Surrey either a creamery or cheese factory to opernte next summer. "We must keep up lo the times," he says, "und there is no reason why an institution of that kind could not be successfully financed in Surrey." About this time of yenr a good many sports come over from ncross the boundury to fish for trout in the Nicomekl. Somo of them use the legitimate appliances of the angler, and are no doubt welcome visitors to all who love the rod. Others nro credited with using dynamite and many other unlawful means to kill the fish, which they take for market purposes, nnd of these an effort should be made to muke a few wholesome examples. Within tho last few weeks the residence and oflice of Dr. A. A. Sutherland on King street, hns ns- sumed a decidedly city appearance. The front elevation is handsome, and does credit to tlie well known taste nf Mr. John JClliot, of Cloverdale, who designed and executed it. The painting was done by Mr. R. A. Braiden, of Langley Prairie, who shoved the brush with artistic effect. We congratulate Dr. Sutherland on his admirable build- which is an ornament lo the Mr. A.

' »—a • Monday's Columbian: Fruil shipments to Manitoba and tlio Northwest arc becoming Important items of our export trade. On Friday a full carload of over 1,000 boxes of plums and apples wus shipped from Mission, and another carload wus sent forward on Saturday from Port Hammond, both for Winnipeg. The first car-load, shipped two weeks ago to the Northwest, readied its destination in good condition, und found u ready market at fair prices. The business hus now pussed the experimental stage, and ns long as freight rules are not heaped on too heavily the export of fresh fruit is certain to bp a success. Two or more '-ur- louds will be shipped during the present week to points east of the mountains. FAULTY MAIL SERVICE, Tu tlio KJ. tor nl SUBStY Tlio-.

All the other newspapers suffer the same unnecessary delay, und there is not much satisfaction in our people taking papers because the news is old before we get it. Of course letters must submit to the delay nlso, and that i.- even more aggravating.

Winnipeg, Aug. 28—Colonel Scoble and Mr. Archibald Wright, two well-known Winnipeggers, left by boat to-day for Luke Winnipeg, from whence they proceed to Hudson's Buy. The object of their trip is to further n project for a canal system along the water courses from the bend of Luke Winnipeg to Hudson's Buy. Plnns for the scheme have been prepared for some time.

Suoh an incident once happened at Belfast, whero an Irishwoman named Mary MrMuhon wus brought to tlie police court charged with keeping whisky on promises which wero unlicensed. Sergeant Jones deposed that ho went into tlio defendant's house ami found a woman named Gray- ton, who was Boated before tho firo. Upon searching her tho sergeant came upon 00 bottles of porter and two bottles •f whisky stowed away in hor petti- mats, To the inexpressible amusement of the spectators tho sergeant produced the peccant garments in court. Each petticoat was mado of courso sucking and was girt with innumerable pockets, and ail of them lined with soft material bo as to keep tho bottles from clinking and possibly breaking euch other. Unhappily for poor Mary McMahon, the petticoats, whisky und porter were confiscated by the relentless police magistrate, and tho chief delinquent was Bent to jail for three tnoullis. I entertain no doubt that tho hearty sympathies of nine-tenths of those present in court went with Mary McMahon to limbo. There has, we fear, never been a timo in Scotland or Ireland when surreptitious potheen and mountain dew which never paid a bawbee to the state exchequer did not, like stolen kisses, taste tho sweeter because of their clandestine birth. He, however, who would fain find amusing stories about running the blockade and smuggling contraband of war through an enemy's lines may turn with advantage to many transatlantic magazines which teem with urticles revealing the illicit trade carried on during the American civil war. Ladies of tho Belle Boyd and Mra. Greenhow type were caught trying to make their way down south with countless boxes of copper caps and packages of quinine stitched into their crinolines. Captain Roberts, better known under his mil name, Ho- bart Pasha, tells us that he smuggled great quantities of Cockle's pills into So- cessia, but that the southerners, differing in taste from the lamented Colonel Fred Burnaby, would have none of them. A certain young lady, who appeared to bo in delicate health, took ship at New York for Havana, whence she hoped to run the blockade into Mobile. Overpowered by seasickness during the voyage, she could not prevent tho stewardess from discovering that she was girt round about with linen bandages, among which many costly drugs were stowed. Such is the complexion to which modern Binuggliug has come at lust. Our coast guards have no preventive duties to perform, und their only ruison d'etre is to watch that no foreign foe makes a descent on our coasts.

An awfully swagger girl came into an np town drug store the other day. She led a tiny pug by a slender silver chain. Her hut wus all a-bloom with purple flowers, nnd un Alsatian bow of purple ribbon was tied about puggie's neck so big as to give tho impression that there was more how than dog. Miludy seated herself on a stool in front of the soda fountain and tenderly lifted his small canineship to another seat beside her. The order was given for chocolate ice cream soda. When it wns served, this rather remarkable young woman conveyed a tenspoonful of the cream lirst to her own lips and then to puggie's. This process was repeated until not a drop wus left. It developed during this interesting episode thut the dog's name was Nig, and to see Nig blink his eyes and lick his small chops was very funny indeed. "Ugh!" exclaimed a matter of fact woman looking on. "How thut girl can put thut spoon buck in her mouth after thut dog hus licked it passes my comprehension. I think it is perfectly disgusting."

Viva el ndelnntot" The shout of welcome homage echoed through the city of Santiago do Cuba (since known aa Havana) when on tho last Saturday in May, 1!>!18, tho gallant Hernando de Solo landed with his princely retinuo. threat preparations had been made by the loyal inhabitants for nn imposing reception, and the streets wore filled with a curious crowd eager to behold their new ruler. At length the discharge of ordnance announced that tho procession had left tho waterside, nor was it long beforo tho numerous retinue defiled before tho applauding Cubans. A band of pikemen led tho way, wearing iron corselets and bearing long pikes with steel heads glittering in tho sun. They wero followed by a band of archers with well filled quivers, and then came a small band of the newly organized halberdiers, equipped in casque aud plate armor. The trumpeters came next, wearing their gorgeous state uniforms and blowing fanfares upon their clarions, which were ornamented with silken bannerols. After the trumpeters came an esquire, bearing a banner on which was embroidered De Soto's arms nnd attended by 12 yeomen carrying maces. And now loud shouts announced the advent of the "ndelanto." Tho conqueror of Peru was then in the prime of lifo und rodo with chivalrous bearing upon the richly caparisoned charger just presented to him. Ho woro a full suit of polished steel armor richly inlaid with gold, while about his neck wus tho gorgeous collar of the order of tho Golden Fleece, a gift from his monarch. By his side mounted on an ambling mule was Donna Isabella, his noble bride, nnd following them came a train of esqnires, pages r.ud men at arms wearing the armorial bearing of the "adelanto." A long column of knights followed, their polished armor flashing in the sunlight, their pennons ana plumes floating in the air, and their An- ualusiun chargers curveting along as if panting for the contest. Never had such a gallant body been seen in Santiago as this brilliant retinue which escorted Hernando do Soto to the cathedral, whero a high mass was to be offered up for their safe arrival from old Spain. "Holy mother, but it is a glorious sight." exclaimed a young girl, who had stood in a large window in the Calle de Ignacio, gazing through the ornamented iron work at the glittering host as it defiled past. Nor could she but feel flattered at tho homage paid her by the chevaliers as they passed—many of them reining in their steeds to gaze at her charms. Nor was this to be wondered at, for her beauty was of that old Anda- lusiun stamp, in which not even the gentleness of tlio fairer sex can quito conceal tho latent fire of the soul. Masses of raven hair lay lightly upon her brow, liko untwisted silk upon white velvet, and were gathered together by a large comb, which also secured a rich lace veil. Her languid eyes were black as jet, her lips poutlngly invited kisses, and in her rounded chin was a dimple wherein Cupid could havo rested with delight. Her flexible form moved to and fro as if swayed by tho south wind's breath, whilo n tiny foot occasionally peeped from beneath tho amplo skirts of her white muslin robe, beating time to the Inspiring peals of the trumpets. Need wo add that sho carried a magnificent form, which aho handled with exquisite grace? "1 am at your feet, senorita," said a gallant cavalier, approaching the window and courteously doffing his plumed hat. It was that worthy hidalgo, Don Vasco Porcallo de Flgueroa, whoso icarred cheek and grizzled hair bore evidence of his long services in the old world ero he crossed the Atlantic. Bringing tho spoils of his valor, he had purchased a valuable estate near Trinidad, although during the gay season he resided at Havana. And of all his possessions, amusements or avocations, noth- ] ing gave liim one tithe of the anxiety as the young girl whom wo have described In the preceding paragraph, and who now answered his figurative salutation by exclaiming! "Nay, dear guardian, rather come and Btund by my side. Is it not a noble sight?" "Yes, by my faith it is," replied Don Vusco. Then, entering the court, he soon occupied a place in the window. Wo havo said that he had seen much service and that his hair was turning gray, yet he had not seen BO harvest iu< ons, nor was thore a more graceful cavalier at the ndelanto's balls. Tall, compactly built, with un electric black eye and u winning smile, he was the envy of many younger hidalgos, while his broad acres made lilra the more attractive to matchmaking donnas. As honorable us he was honest, and as faithful as he was brave, his dying comrade, Don Autonio Gonzales, hud felt great joy when he entrusted his daughter into the bonds of so true a gentleman. And Don Vasco, regarding the last wish of his friend as a solemn duty, hud ever used every exertion to rear tlio Donna Inez us ho would havo brought up his iwn daughter. "And do yon not liko it?" inquired the damsel us her guardian stepped upon the window platform. "Do you not Iikothis flashing armor, these spirited horses, theso waving banners, theso bright suits tf steel? Oh, yes. guardian, you must liko it. I should think that the echoing rotes of these trumpets would make your blood surge through your veins like a maelstrom," "Yes, indeed. 1 havo decided to join this expedition if De Soto will accept my poor sword." "What!" exclaimed Donna Inez, with a look of uneasiness, "you go to the wars againl Oh, for the sake of the Blessed Virgin do not go," "Nay, nay, my fair ward, were you not just admiring the scene?" "Aye, but this is not the picture presented at the close of a hard fought battle, when brave knights lie suffering in agony or die in despuir." Then after a short pause and an evident struggle in order to keep from bursting into tears she added, "It was thero my father breathed his last." I "True, but this expedition is not similar to a European campaign. These hidalgos go in quest of adventure. I admit, ; bnt they expect to find great wealth and I littlo if any opposition." I "But is tho gold there, guardian? Will it not be like Ponco de Leon's voyage in quest of the 'Fountain of Youth?*" J "I should like to find that fountain." I "And what good would it do you?" asked Inez, the color mounting to her cheeks. ■ "Ah," replied the knight, with a deep sigh, "it might not avail me aught. Seriously, though, my fair ward, I feel I that honor calls mo to join tho expedi- I tion. Tho lady ot tlio bravo De Soto will remain here, and I feel confident that she will far eclipso my poor services. So I now kiss your hand, aa I must make tho necessary arrangements for tho management of my estates during my absence, and should I fall, Inez, remember that everything I possess will be your dower. Adios." "My dower," exclaimed Inez, turning from the window and speaking hurriedly to herself. "I shall be a bride of the church, then, or earth will have no object that I can love." When she reached her chamber, she bolted the door; then, throwing herself upon her couch, wept long and bitterly. i For several weeks the city of Santiago was a scene of jubilee. In the daytime the cavaliers indulged in that national yet cruel amusement—bullfighting. Mounted on tho choicest steeds and clad in brilliant armor, tho gallant knights contested for prizes of gold or for choice embroidery presented by the fair ones, whoso bright eyes graced their lists. At night there were balls and masquerades, where tho future invaders of Florida mingled in the mazes of the dance. De Soto, while he encouraged their diversions, which served to train his yonng cavaliers in the use of arms and horsemanship, was not a participant in the sports. Anxiously awaiting the return of a pilot whom he had sent to discover a safo harbor for disembarkation, he oc- i cupied himself in perfecting every ar- rangoment, nor had he a more efficient ally than Don Vasco, whose martial j spirit appeared rekindled with fiery zeal. Equipping a well armed retinue of men I from the vicinity of hia estate, be soon had them the pride of the whole expedi-. tion. The excellence of their armature and equipments, tho superiority of breed and good grooming of their horses, and tho confidence which they evidently possessed in their veteran leader, showed that every battle must find them victori- j ous or slain. Bnt, to the great Borrow of Don Vasco Donna Inez was never on the plaza to < witness his troops at their daily guard mounting, their floating plumes, polish-' ed armor and glossy chargers now extending into line, then at the sound of the trumpet closing into square. Their i pennon wns a scurf worked by the fair lady for her guardian, but she had retired to a convent in pursuance, she said, of a vow. Nay, she even refused to see Don Vasco when the expedition was j ready to sail, although she sent through ' her confessor a most pathetic entreaty. This conduct, considering that she was in truth the cause of her guardian's return to military life, was rather saddening, but he consoled himself with the thought that perhaps ehe was praying fur bis safety. I The fact was, Don Vasco had fallen desperately in love with his ward, although ho dared not urge his suit, lest she should think that ho hud attempted to take advantage of his position, and her high spirit should rebel. She per-1 sisted in refusing to seo him, but on the eve of his departure his page brought in a package, "from the Donna Inez." Tearing it open, the delighted cavalier found a silken pennon, on which was elaborately embroidered his armorial bearings, with the Italian motto, "Che sara, Bara," which may be interpreted, "Whatever will be, will be."

It was on the lost day of, May, 1530, that De Soto and his chivalrio band landed at what is now called Turn-1 pa bay and hoisted tho Spanish flag as they took possession of the country in the name of Charles V. Tho scene was one of surpassing loveliness. A luxurious muss of laurels covered tho ground beyond the narrow sandy beach, while beyond them towered the mastliko palm, the stately live oak and the gorgeous magnolia. A long distance from the sea groves of lemon and orange trees gavo to the landscape the appearance of a flowery wilderness, here and there divided by quiet lagoons, Huge vines clambered CONTRARIETY IN INVENTION HOW THE RULE WORKS.

The Euro* peuns, unused to such warfure, retreated to the boats, whero Don Vasco had just landed. Hastily forming a section of his horsemen, he boldly attacked tho Indians and soon drove them into the interior, shouting as he urgod on his charger, "Che sara, sara!" When the enemy was routed, he returned to tho boats jubilant over his buccobs, but ero ho dismounted his steed staggered, then fell dead. An arrow had passed through tho saddle and buried itself deeply in tho animal, inflicting a mortal wound, "Never mind," exclaimed the don, "I have been the first to raise the lance against the infidels and have lost the first horse. 'Che sara, saral'" On reviewing his troops that afternoon Don Vasco was somewhat annoyed to find that one of his most trusty men at arms had brought a stripling sou to share the perils of the expedition. "May it please your grace," said the man, "I wish to train him to the pursuit of arms." "But what can his slight arm do?" angrily inquired the cavalier. "Littlo now, I admit.

One of the notions of tho pioneer railway engineers in England was that their rails must be flanged so thut the wheels of locomotives and carriages should not get off the track. But somo one of skeptical mind inquired, "Why not leave the "Well, well," replied Don Vasco, who was pleased with tho youth's appearance, "you are a worthy fellow, Pedro, and 1 will tako tbe boy as my page." The delighted youth uttered an exclamation of joy, and that day ho occupied a tent used for baggago and near thut of his muster. It was noticed by somo that Pedro accompanied his son to his now quarters and relieved him from all menial duties, but indulgent parents aro too common to excite much attention. Never was such a page sten as Jose, and soon, for want of a better confidant, Don Vasco told him of his love, almost hopeless as it was, for his ward. Meanwhile Do Soto found himself opposed by a cacique, who remained implacably hostile, und ho was about to tho flange on the wheel, an easier thing to do?" Accordingly the flange was taken from tho rail to the wheel and remains thero to this day to remind the traveler that au eastern philosopher said long ngo, "To him that is well shod it is as if the whole earth were covered with leather."

As tbe cultivution of tobacco Is prohibited lu England, except under a special license from tho excise authorities, so tba cultivation of the poppy lu British India is forbidden unless license has been taken out.

When official supervision Is efficient, it fs certainly very difficult for a man to cultivate poppy on u larger urea than la covered hy his license without detection. Tho cultivation cannot be concealed.

"Nothing, father," she answered faintly, "nothing only the heat of the fire." Sbelah Baxter came out of the "Ship" and walked aimlessly down to hla boat. The surf was boiling on the Scroby, and great rollers with foaming crests were racing in and tumbling upon the sunlighted beach. He stood awhile Absently watching the little fountains which their recoil left bubbling in the sand, then mounted the tall hillock to look for Reeks. On the top he started, and his tan cheeks grew pale. At the base of the mound by a dwarf clump of furze sat a girl sobbing violently. She waa Jenny Reeks. He descended the side she was on and gently touched her ■houlder. Through her tear brimmed eyes sbe looked tnto bia face. Not a word of reproach.

He had performed many remarkable cures after regular physicians had failed, and although bearing the sobriquet of the "dirty doctor" he waa sent for, and without making any examination of the patient inquired about the diet already prescribed, and also asked whether hla food waa digested with comfort when eaten. "No," said Charley, "the doctor won't let me have what I want, and the stuff I havo l>een forced to eat doea me no good." This was apparent aa he waa reduced to a perfect skeleton.

Not long since tbo mnnngor of a thriving lifo insuranco company satnt his desk chatting with a Now York Herald reporter. In tbo middle of a discussion two cards woro brought In. Tho caller ut onco rune to go. Tho ofllchil said: "No. Sit down. I want you to stay for a partloulur reason. I don't think you hnvo evor hoard of solar biology," Aftor chatting a few minutes with them, showing nn equally hopeful affability to both, tbo manager snid, tapping tho papers ho bad tnkon 'from them: "Ob, by tbo wny, whon wero you born? I mean, how old are you? Glvo mo tbo date Wa keep records, you know." Thoy gnvo dates about six months apart in tbe Hame year, Ho jotted them down cnrofully, tbon snid, rising to bow thorn out: "Coma hack tomorrow. I will buvo luokcd you up fully by then nnd can glvu you n definite answer." When thoy woro out of hearing, ho suld: ''No doubt you think I mn going to rend thu letters thoy huvo left with mo. So I shall—after awhile—by way of finding out how fur either of thom bus shown to those ubout him his real nature" "How will you discover thnt?" By way of answer ho took u big bonk out of a convenient drawer, run his eye ovor Home tables In tbo bank of It, muttering to himself faintly as ho did so, then drow out some letter sheets, printod ovor witb queer marks and queerer symbols, wrote hurriedly upon thorn, tbon leaned hack In his chair, saying as ho sob hla Angers tip to tip: 'I'm sorry for thnt Pennsylvania lad, I nm, truly. Ho wants tho placo badly, but It would bo doing him an unkinduess to glvo lt to him." "How about tho Maine manf" He laughed outright. "I wnnt him," ho said laconically. "Further, I would glvo him tho placo If I had novor heard of anybody that know him." "Tho other Impressed mo a ahado tho moro favorably," said the reporter. "Please explain to mo what lt la thut gives you hh different o view of him." '-He la tho brighter of tbo two, not a doubt of that," tho manager said, bending again ovor his book.

I iBLOVERDALE, AUGUST 30,1895. COST OF CRIMINAL TRIALS. Of lute yoars on this continent nf Nnrili Amorloa thp charge upon the State lor the conviction, of persons guilty of gross crimen has rciiclicil extravagant proportions. Tlio vilest criniiiiiil cun always; nnd means pf pushing his defence |o ii limit Unit formerly would not have been tolerated, nml ns ti rule .Ihe more monstrous Ihe crime, the greater the charge and the moro diflicult to convict, Wit- nesB the hugp expenses that nre nt Ihe present time being piled up in courscof the trial of purantln Sim Francisco; nnd in (his Province, a yenr or so niio, the cost of the trial of Stroebel amounted ton tnx out of all proportion to tlie public revenue, '('his is not to say that Ihe expense should not be incurred if necessary to secure the conviction pf the guilty, but it is to say that there is something radically wrong in the system which render*' such heavy charges necessary. A little further development in the same Jinp will muke the trial of criminals an unbearable burden upon the State, if indeed it 1ms not already reached thnt stage. The old saying Unit "it is better j score of the guilty should escape than one innocent person be pun islied," hns no doubt a good den! to do witli the opportunities thnt nre now offered to the guilty of escaping, anfjpf mnking the lnwrabiding public pay extravagantly for dar- hig to interfere with the vicious. No doubt thp old snying appeals to the kind hpart, but it is none the less in exact opposition U> the fundamental nnd constant purpose of Criminal law, tlie sole intent nf jvliich is in protect f-ociety. Leaving out thp promptings of benevolence, and viewing Ibe matter with Judicial coldness, the punishment of one innocent is of less conse- rjuenca to society (Jinn the escape of one guilty. In tlie case of the grosser crimes jt is immeasurably go, for while the capital punishment of an innocent man would be a cause of regret only to the general public, the escape of a man of crime would lie a menace to (hat spine public; ami moreover (be new crime of tlie escaped criminal might readily enough result in vastly more hardship to innocent parties than could pertain in the ease of l|ie well-intended but mis- (ii ken legal punishment of the innocent person we are presuming. While presenting this hard view of the interest of society in regard to crime, it is, of course, fur from our intention of advocating that zeal for )he conviction of the guilty should be permitted to weaken the proper safeguards of the innocent, though things ns harsh are doubtless known Jo existing judicature. Hut tlie Length to which the business is being carried in the other found a lclter from Mr. It. A. Hratlci'., of Langley Prairie, com- plaining of the arrangement made by the postal authorities for supplying that important settlement with mail facilities. Mr. Jlrndeii doos not say whether the other postofheefl in southern Lunglcy nre aifectod by the faulty arrangement, ul. no doubt thoy nro to some extent at least. The oholoe of Friday as publication, day for Suuiiky TlMKB whs decided upon entirely with ii view to promptly reaching Ihe more distant postoliiceB of Surrey and Langley, all of which, we believe, receive mails on Saturday, It is only very Inlely that we have learned tluvt our mail for Langley municipality, which leaves here by Friday's train and arrives at Fqrt Lapgloy on Saturday, remains over there till tho following Tuesday. We havo tlio consolation of knowing, however, that other weekly papers, though published on other days, havo to submit to the same delay. The position is that Langley Prairie has three mails a week, Tuesday, Thursday nnd Saturday, an arrangement that is perfectly satisfactory to the people served. The service is from Fort Langley, which has a daily mail, Now, the Langley I'rairie mail is forwarded at noon, whereas the dajly mail does not reach Fort Langley till evening, so that one day's mail for thp southern offices is necessarily held over. M". llraden contends that the Langley Prairie carrier shoujd be timed so ns to take with him tliiv latest mail, and tlu) advantage is so manifest, that oue can hardly account at iirst (or it being overlooked in a service so careful of public convenience that of thp postal department. The explanation probably is, that if the dispatching of the Langley Prairie curripr was dphiyed ti|l evening it would not then be practicable to reach the more distant postoflices of the municipality that day, Then is there any remedy for the state of things complained of ? Certainly therp is. The distunce from thp distributing office of Fort Langley to Langley Prairie is the same as from thp latter to the distributing office of Cloverdale. The Great Northern railway carries the mail to Cloverdnle, and the train is due daily at 10.30 a. m. Hence Langley Prairie and subject offices could hp served from here at the same hour and at (he same charge as nt present, will) (he very impor tant difference that no Langley mail would be held over at the Cloverdale office. Another very important consideration is that the service to Langley Prairie from here would lie available at all seasons, whilp the Fort Langley service is interfered with hy ice in winter and high water in summer, to the serious inconvenience of the Langley public. Tin; fruit output ol British Columbia will soon roach considerable proportions^ The many thousands of trees that have been sot mil during the last several years aro now coming Into bearing, wilh constantly increasing profu'spnoSB, nnd every season other thousands of young trees are boing planted, The one inducement 16 thi.-; groat extension of fruit-growing in 11, C. was, nnd |s. tho prospoot of n satis- lactory market in the adjoining Canadian territories of the Northwest, iho populations ot whioh must necessarily look beyond thoir own borders for their fruit supply because of Inability lo produce it themselves on account of cjimntic conditions. That tho prospect built upon by the fruit cullurists of this Province is likely to prove a judicious one, is matter for general congratulation. Within tho last few weeks several car-loads of 15. C. fruit have been fnyornbly received as far east ns Winnipeg, and it may bo said that the'prospective market has been fairly taken possession of by our orchardists. It remains now to hold it, and there should bo no difficulty in this, if care bo taken in thp selection of fruit and the handling of it. provided, of course, thnt a possible ascendancy of free trade doctrine does notppen t|io territory to Amer- j loan growers, to lie made a Blaught er market of for surplus produco, as was the case on thi* cnifst last winter with hay and potatoes notwithstanding a moderate protective tariff.

J. P. OALBHAITH, Kurrcy Timet oftlce. B.C. Dunville, Aug. 23—Hon. Dr. Montague left for Ottawa to-day. He visited several points in his constituency, and will return Jo visit others in October. iLs was certgin, he said, in the victory of his party at the polls at the next election. He had no information to give about the reconstruction of the Cabinet made necessary by the retirement of Hon. Mr. Angers. The rumor that he hud been closeted with Lieut.-Governor Chapleau at the Falls, on political matter*, was untrue. He merely happened to be there when the Chapleau party was there. If a deputation went west thjs fall U> hold meetings in Manitoba and British Columbia, Hon. Mr. Haggart would bp one of tho number to go. The matter was bejng considered, Definite replies had not yet been given to the in. vitations. ESTABLISHED 1886.

This seems that our Hon. Col. Baker, who so loved the distressed settlers of the flooded districts about a year ago, hud taken measures to cancel British Columbia's part of the arrangements, and that, therefore, the to be a matter requiring investigation, It is well known tliat certain members of the Council board were not at all friendly to tho city constructing Ihe bridge, and the keeping back of important offers, if it lie true, can only mean that sinister influences were exerted by city representatives to keep out of eight matters of advantage to the city. Certainly un explanation is in order. the Province, of course, thereby losing tho Dominion's share of the expenditure, $26,000. The News- Advertiser, in a recent article, properly exposes the iniquity of the business ; but after all, what could lie expected from the set of incap- nblcs now in cliarge of affairs at Victoria. Knglisli main roads cost, on an average, £35 lis. per. mile yearly to maintain. Capt, Pittendrigh held an in quest, at Agassiz last week, on a body found in Maria Slough. The body proved to be that of C. Leg- gatt, a Canadian Pacific Railway bridge foreman, who was drowned during the flood, a year ago lust June, by the capsizing of a boat. The hend and both arms were gone, but several witnesses were able to swear to the boots and clothing lieing exactly the same as worn by Leggatt when he was drowned, and there is no reaBon to doubt the identity of the body, which had been under water for fourteen months. A verdict of accidental drowning was returned by the jurv, when all the evidence had been put in. . a , London, Aug. 22.—A statement of the condition of Oscar Wilde's finances has just been issued. It shows his liabilities to he £3,591, with no available assets. His insolvency is ascribed by him to the failure of his action for libel against the Marquis of Queensberry, who is now a petitioning creditor, seeking the payment of the costs of his defence, which the court ordered Wilde to pay. Wilde's income has averaged £2,000 a year, chiefly derived from his literary and dramatic works. He has been insolvent two yeurs, his expenditures having greatly exceeded his income, ■ in HUB.
