NELSON, BKITISH COLUMBIA, SATUEDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1891. $_ A YEAE A PES PBCTUItK OF A WFLL-KXOW.\ PIOStitiK. I* P- One of... the editors of the Seattle Press-Times has been put ting in a month op two xlpw.ii along the "-Columbia river, and his letters to his paper are quite readable. His latest is-"devoted... to *'Dutch Pete," the well-known proprietor of the X^ittle Dalles stopping-place. He says: "On the Columbia, instead of the ivy-bound castles whichBuskin deemed so essential to the poetic ensemble of nature, one has to safcisfy the invagination with uhehmcked log cmbins, draped with the 'skins'-of ������������������'wild animals and surrounded with the labor and weather-worn tools and the paraphernalia of the pioneer. 7The river winds rapidly through a high chain of mountains, topped \vith nr and patched with gojden-tinted buhchgrass. At iniervals truncateo:,0 cones and stupendous but res stand out fromithe range and seem to pose as sentinels of the stream. It is at the base of one of these latter that Pete Ellis- ton has laid out his ranch, and combined with 1 he duties of farmer the ..diversions/of- merchant and hotel keeper. 1 make th is distinction because Pete's chief...employment is .composed of trusting prospectors and everybod y of -.Caucasian ext.rae- tion for wchat he may want in the nature of supplies, and -in.feeding ���������'���������every st ragglef or mendicant tourist-'that may chance along the trail. Though poor in .worldly goods, considering what a well-trained Yankee miner would have done with his opxDortunities, he has a wealth of good repute 'sufficient to elect him to the highest office, were his yirt ties known outside of Stevens county and the gulches of the British Kootenay-. His ppenhandec!nessHs the subject of everyone's praise, ond,few: neglect to enjoy it;with ; t hafr relish which is char-acteristic of men who expect never to make any commensurate return for benefits received. He fits,to a nicety the extravagant ideal of Seneca's conception of the man who is too generous to be distiessed o ver the refinernents of j ust ice, and too grat e-, ful to be go< d to hiim'elf. Be ewe i:o ci e, and is the creditor of everyone. And he never complains about or defames his debtor's either, since his pride of judgment woiild be derided by any harsh reflections on those he once trusted. "Born and brought up on the Swiss frontier of Baden, he absorbed from the philosophy of Helvetius the doctrine of nat ural causes, and acquired from the practice of smuggling a democratic detestation of the 'Prussian government. He was active in the revolution of '47, and, sought an asylum in the United States after the affair at Rastatt. The first money he made was paid him by the soap manufacturers for oil he skimmed from the Mississippi after the big St. Louis fire. He went to California, experienced indifferent luck in the diggings, and followed the prospecting'tide into Oregon. Here he collapsed from intermittent fever, and taking an overdose of an India!) remedy, on the.presumption that one could not absorb too'much of a good thing, he brought upon himself chronic rheumatism. The virus was driven into his nether extremities, paralyzing the nerves, and finally distorting' them. *.-'A constant sufferer from physical torture for more than 20 years he has been.-noted' as-one of the most tireless prospectors and workers, where supplies had to be packed on the back for hundreds of miles, and evevy privation and hardship known fo mountain life he has endured without, a whimper. "Pete is perhaps the most blasphemous old- timer on the Columbia. He can punctuate a 15-minute speech'with enough '-whip-cracking, epithets to drive a pack train for a month. He can reel off a pretty good yarn, too. In his day he was a fine boatman, and has ofteu shot the rapids. The distance to Marcus, below The Dalles, is 20 odd miles. The river is in no place swifter. Pete launched his catamaran one twilight at The Dalles and before the sun set had landed at Marcus. He gravely tells this story to illustrate the rapidity of the current and to demonstrate his own dexterity with the paddle, and the correctness of it no mere scientific proof can disturb. When I suggested that he should have kept on to Astoria to see the sun rise twice on the same day, he asked me in dignity, if 1, by ������������������^, thought he was telling a ^���������- lie, and the only way I could avoid a rupture of our friendship was to apologize for not having been with him to experience such a novel adventure. "Pete does not think women are fit to live with men in the mountains. They take small thing such as cooking and dishwashing and chamber work, too seriously to suit him. : The only one that ever met his idea of the desirable helpmeet was lady Harvey, who camped near the ranch 'one evening on a sketching torn.'. When he went up to her- fireplace,to pay liis respects, he was surprised to find her eating salmon out of a can. 'But your ladyship can have some plates if you wish,'said he! "'Oh, no, I thank you,' she replied. 'I would have to wash the plates.' 'Ah,' reflects Pete, inrecounting the experience, 'there was a woman for you *" ���������>,���������> 'J������IO.K���������"- "JLOT" A1505IT. T3SE SlLVUSSg SiBXW. "The following from the Seattle Press-Times of the 10th is a fair sample of the "rot" that is printed about the mines in the Kootenay Lake . .country:..' ���������:������������������ o . :- . Mr. Dunlavv of Victoria said Inst evening: to a Press- Times reporter, that, mr..-'Hendricks, the Massachusetts copper capitalist, had told him that he had offered ������1,250,- COOfor the Silver King and that, the offer had been refused. Yet the Silver King never yielded a dollar net profit to its owners. "The Silver King," said mr. Dunlavy, "is without, doubt the richest mine o>i the American continent. Hull brothers, who were the locators and Avho are now part owners, have a trace of India-������ blood in their veins, and are willing to let the mine lie idle rather than put forth any vigorous effort to develop it. There is plenty of ore in sight, and rich ore, too, but it is in a country where there are no:concentrators and no facilih'esfor transportation. "Six months after it was located," oonfi'iucd mr. Dunlavy, "it was bonded for ,f20,000. It is still bonded for that amount and the interest. So much has been said of it that it is not necessary for me to give a description of the greatest mine in "the world. It. is the general opinion 'among-���������mining-men that Hull brothers, could live much better than their ancestors on the one and a quarter million of cash offered them for their mine, and Would greatly benefit the country by letting-men get hold of the mine who can develop it." The Silver King is located on Toad mountain, Kootenai county, B.C. In the first place, it is very doubtful if a. cash offer 'has ever been made for the Silver King, although it is considered one of the biggest showmigs for a mine in America. The Farrel- Hendryx party made an offer for it, but not a cash offer. The mine -has never been bonded to anyone, and is not now under bond: Hall brothers, of the original locators and still co- owners in the property, are white men, and men,, too, that deserve every dollar they may g;et from the'sale of the group of claims of which the Silver Kine: is the best known. The mine is not only not idle, but has paid out mnrp inniiey for development work this summer than any other mine in British Columbia���������one tunnel alone being in over 600 feet.

The Sea King company, made up of Wisconsin men, among whom are Himner & Ginzk'ey, bankers at Alma, intend to develop its 4 claims on Duck creek, in Gont River district, this winter.

The trail from Duck creek to Rykerf's, by way of Jap King's, is said to be an excellent one. Hall Oeek B&aast. The Slocan excitement docs not seem to affect the boys over on Hall creek ; they prefer to work a sure thing, although there may not be millions in it. The ground on the creek is rich iti spots, the boys sometimes making an ounce a day to the man.

The excitement over the new finds in the Slocan district is hot on the wane, but rather on the increase. In the fore part of the week Jack Evans, Jack Buchanan^ Bill Hunter, Billy McKinnon, and Bill Si ihe 6'x: arrived at. Nelson, having "iua&e the trip in and out by way of Kaslo City. Jack Evans, who is not only a reliable man, but a man pretl y well acquainted wit h the Slocan lake section of the country, says he is sure the new district is a good mineral one, but would not advise anyone to gO in now to prospect, for the reason that the snow is too deep to do so to advantage. ; lie also says Slocan lake is just such another body of water as Upper Arrow lake, even to having a be >ld prom em ory, or cape .horn, jutting into it from the east. It is about 40 miles long and from 3 to 7 in width. He claims that the pass from the north end of Slocan lake to t he Upper Arrow lake is a low one and the distance not more than IS miles. He also gave it as bis opinion that the ore from the new 'district would come out by way of Slocan river because of the route being all down hill. The above-named, parties were 2^ days in going in from Kaslo City and the. same.length of time, in coming out. Going in, they left the north fork of Kaslo creek at a point about a mile a rid a half above the forks, s t ruck due west across the mountains, an cl came out on the Slocan slope at the head of Carpenter creek, , which is a short distance south of the Hennessy camp. Coming out, they took the same route. Evaiis and Buchanan started back ti������day, in tend ing to go in the same way again. They would take Indians along to pack supplies to last them 2 or 3 weeks: During the week 5 Or 6 .parties .started up Slocan river in boats, anionlc others C. P. B-. engineer Stewart,' G. B.

CUKABIE ? The cure of the drinking habit is one that has long received '���������attention- from medical ni en/ many of them being afflicted with the disease. A doctor named Keeley, at Hwighf, Illinois, claims to have found the long-searched-for remedy, and in the last North American Review John Flavel Norris, a New York journalist of repute, describes his case and the cure obtained at the hands of dr. Keeley. The following is an extract from his article: "For 20 years 1 had been a victim of the disease of drink. It seized me at odd times,usually the .most inopportune, and in spite of all my struggles would gain the temporary mastery. Months of peace might pass, but suddenly the fever would break loose and run riot in my veins, and I knew that then it must have its course. I have as much will power as the next man, but my will was a straw in the grasp of this horror. Men who have not felt the clutch of drink as it sweeps through and possesses the whole system, have no conception of the agony of thestruggle which the victim makes. "It was because I had found ho permanent benefit from seclusions in an asylum or home, but rather the contrary, because!fretted against restraint that' could be of no use to a prodigal drinker, that I was ready to give a fair trial to the promise made me by dr. Leslie F. -Keeley- of D wight, Illinois, that he would guarantee me a cure for my disease. I told him that for more than 2 months my life had been oiie of entire sobriety, and asked him if he would undertake my cure under these circumstances. He replied that he "would. It was something of an assur- a nee fo find that his experience of 30 years as a medical man, and for 20 years as a specialist in alcoholism, coincided '-with my experience as a sufferer. His ideas were common sense. My own diagnosis told me..that my trouble:was a disease, and I felt it was an insult to medical science to suppose for a mo ment that no remedy could be found for it. "That -dr. Iveeley is an allopathic physician made no difference to me, for 1 have none of the current-'-prejudices about schools of medicine. He laid down the law that I must follow, the time that I must stay, and insisted, as lie-does in all cases, on unqualified obedience while in his hands. But he gained my confidence, not only by his diagnosis, but from the fact that he brushed away from the start the musty, superstitious old cobwebs of bolts, bars, and restraints. The Keeley institute was,- and''is, only an office to which patients go for treatment and medicine. There are not even official boarding places. The patient selects his hotel (there is a -tine new one there now) or his boarding place according to his taste and means, and is free to select his own company and amusements and to occupy his spare time as he sees fit. When I went to ''.Dwight.'there were barely 100 patients. When I left at the end. of 6 weeks there were 240 under treatment. My comrades 'were lawyers, physicians, editors, merchants, judges, an attorney- general of one of the iiew states of the west, and an assorted, lot Of state senators. .Without exception they were the brightest body of men I ever met, and to say that they could meet and exchange views .daily, without interference and restraint, and yet be made the victims of a fraud, is an insult to commen sense! "The patient's first visit is paid to the office of dr. Keeley, where his case is stated, and -where he receives a hypodermic injection in the upper arm, and there is given him a bottle of bichloride of gold mixture, a dose of which is to be taken every 2 hours while awake. The hypodermic, called in D.wight the :,''shot,'is the supporting- medicine, which sustains the frame under treatment. Its preparation, and the form in -which the bichloride of gold is made up for its special purpose, are dr. Keeley's secret, and it is manifestly absurd for those not in the secret to criticise it. The t reatment is administered 4 times a day, at 8 A. M., 12 noon, 5 P. M., and 7:30 P. M., and for 3 or I weeks usually, though sometimes a week or two longer, according to the person til diagnosis made by the doctor from day to day. If a new arrival needs whisky, it is given to him in a bottle, and he can have more until he loathes it, and he returns his unopened bottle to the doctor. From this point the work of his physical reconstruction begins. He finds that the treatment is not a mere tonic, as some have supposed. Sometimes his eyesight is af- engine com OIF TOBOMTO, OIISTT^IRXO- MAJTOiAOTUEEKS OP ALL DESCRIPTIONS OP MAKINE AND STATIONAEY British ColniiiMa7 Brailcli : 520 Cordova Street, Vanconver. : , 0. P.

Nor is this all. The treatment of Dwight removes such physical ills as are caused directly by drink. Dr. Keeley?s program promised this, but I had scarcely been able, to credit it. As a matter of fact I found myself relieved of 20c pounds of superfluous flesh, and am the better for it. "The physical experience varies in different cases, hut to each there comes a time at last when the patient discovers that all weakness and depression have vanished, and that the fetters of old appetites and habits have fallen away from him, and he steps out of the darkness of the wilderness into the full light of day, and knows that once more he has a man's .strength to do a man's work among men. * * * No one who has not been similarly cursed with the disease of drink can know the joy of the moment when my cure came to me as a fact. 1 do not .-believe, I know that I am cured, and am satisfied as to its permanency."

It bears but few traces of hurried preparation, yet it is a book of 223 pages and contains a great deal in a small compass. All previous biographies of Parneli accord to Avondale the honor of his place of birth. O'Conner says he heard Parneli'state this was incorrect. He was born at Brighton. Though intensely Irish in sentiment "O'Connor always regarded Parneli in physique and character���������in character above all ���������American. A large part of the book is devoted to recent events. O'Connor says "amongst his followers were many with a stubborn will and inflexible resolution, yet all was as clay in the potter's hands when he choose to exercise bis power: His subjugation of his race from a restless forlorn faction into a great, united, and absolutely obedient whole, was one of the most remarkable achievements in political leadership in the historv of mankind."

News has just reached Ottawa that Dan Dunn, the old foreman of construction of the Canadian Pacific on this section, had been killed while engaged, in railway construction near the "Soo" on the Michigan side. No particulars have reached Ottawa except that a quarrel arose between Dan and a man named Harcourt, in the course of which the latter shot the former through the heart. Harcourt has been arrested. Tlie deceased was a native of Nova Scotia and came to this section of the country when the Canadian Pacific railway construction boomed up. He was made walking boss by W. H. Worthington, and foreman of construction by IT. Abbott. He was in charge from Sudbury to Michipicoten. The above paragraph is clipped from a Van- cuver paper of the 14th. Dan Dunn is at work a few miles west of Nelson straightening out curves on the crookedest railroad, on earth. He was in Nelson last Saturday evening, and did not look anything like a corpse. nsrEiLSOisr^ IB. o. Does not transact a banking business. Receives articles for safe keeping.

Fitzstubbs, our gold commissioner, for, his earnest endeavors to cut trails when re- quired, and. who.sots himself strictly against willful waste of government money or does not allow himself to be bill-, lied into countenancing such an outrage and boodle scheme as the cutting of a trail up the Lardeaux river, when that money could liave been very usefully em ployed in opening iiji trails, where they would be of use to the people of the district, not the bears and other wild animals." The above is an extract from a letter to the Vic f (>r ia, Colo n i st from an an on y mo n s w riter at Ainsworth. It is safe to predict that the writer has had an axe ground by mr. Fitzstubbs. No other person in West -Kootenay district could, truthfiillv state that mr. Fitzstnbbs has taken any interest in attending to the duties of his office as gold..commissioner, unless ordering free miners to uncover in his presence, or forbidding them to enter the government offices without first knocking, or declining to be in any way accommodating when called on for -.'information be considered attending to the duties of his office. It is also safe to assume that the writer will not assert over his own name that tlie cutting of the Lardeaux trail was either an "outrage" or a '' boodling" scheme; and it is safe to assume that he cannot mention the name of a single locality in the district that, is.'now handicapped through lack of a trail, and at the same time specify the trails mr. Fitzstubbs has had cut,of his own free will���������unless it be the one up Schroder creek; and it is also safe to assume that the ������������������writer is one of the class of men, found in all communities, who are never content unless when stabbing someone in the dark. The congress of the United Stat es gave the Northern Pacific .-Railway Company the odd sections in a strip, of hind. 100 miles''wide through Montana for building its railway. Under the terms of the grant mineral lands were excluded. The railroad .company now claims it is entitled to all the odd-numh^red sections in which minerals were not ������������������������������������known to exist at. the time the grant wa s m ad e. T h e pe< >p 1 e o f M out an acontei id that the title to all lands on. which mineral is discovered, even if the title to the land has passed from the United States to the railroad company and from the .railroad company to other purchasers, must revert to the United States and the land be alone subject to location under the minnig- la ws. Tw<> years ago a case son 1 ewhat similar was decided by the privy council of ���������Great Britain. To aid in building the Canadian Pacific railway, the province of British Colum bia granted the Dominion of Canada a belt of land 40 miles wide along the line of the railway in the province. For a wonder, this belt of land was not turned over to the syndicate who took the road off the Dominion government's hands, and the land still belongs to the Dominion. Much of it is mineral land. For a time prospectors, to acquire title to claims, had to make locations under both the provincial arid. Dominion mining laws, which were at wide variance, the provincial government all the time contending that the province in granting the land to the Dominion had not parted with ownership in the minerals, or precious metals, and finally'-.carried a ease to the privy council as the court of last resort. The privy council sus- tai n ed the pro vi nee, decidin g th at o w n ership of the precious metals does not pass with a sale of land, and that such ownership can only be acquired by discovery. There is the whole question in a nutshell. The Northern Pacific is entitled to the,surface rights of the odd-numbered sections within its grant, but it is not entitled to the minerals, or precious metals, that may ."'afterwards be discovered oa the land. , An Ottawa merchant who receives remittances by express from all "parts of the Dominion complains that one-fonrth of the money so received is American bills and silver, and claims that he is inuch the loser thereby. Here in British Columbia American bills and silver are taken at par at all business houses, banks, and government offices. No questionsare asked and no loss accrues to anyone. Why cannot the same sensible policy be pursued in eastern Canada, and in the adjacent states as regards the money of the two countries: ". The bills issued by Canadian chartered banks, although not endorsed by the Dominion, are considered as safe almost as the bills issued by the national banks of the United States. The silver coins of Canada, and the silver coins of the United States should pass current in both countries, as t hey contain a like amount of silver. No good reasons -can be given for exact ing the enormous discounts of ten exacted from travelers by sharks in the two countries. Express companies do not" charge'more than 1 per cent for carrying money from one trade center to another, and in no part of Canada or the United States should banks charge above 2 per cent for exchanging Canadian money for United States -'.money, or vice versa, yet. travelers are of ten compelled to pay a discount of 20 per cent on silver and almost as much on bills. _____ "Does if cost a steamboat company more to haul ISO tons of freight on a barge than 50 tons on a steamboat?" is a question the lake country business men are asking each other now that the- Mara line has raised the rate on all the through freight it handles between Revelstoke and Robson. Merchants at Nelson had goods shipped from Winnipeg, with rhe freight prepaid to Nelson, yet on its arrival at Nelson back charges of from .$60 to $80 a car had to be paid 'before the goods would be delivered. The steamboat people give as a reason for the raise that the stage of ���������water.in'the Columbia, will not permit them U) load'their steamboat and that the freight has to be towed down on a barge. Bub the steamboat .people-must admit that the barge carries fully 0 times as much as'is usually put on the boat, and that they are at little additional expense in running the barge'. It conies all the harder0 on our merchants,, because the raise is made without notice and at a. time when they are getting in their winter (6 months) supplies. Perhaps the steamboat company 'will not always have a "cinch" on the business of the lake country. L can be obtained for small amounts, loaned on short time and well secured.

In the fore part of this month a party of liutiters registered at a well-known Nelson hotel. It was given out by the proprietor that a couple of Italian princes were in the party, and the board-"- >ers at that hostelry during the party's stay ^magmed themselves just a few notches higher Vm /ttte social scale than their associates who boarded at less favored hotels. The landlord's report was bat half true. There was but one Italian in the party, and while not a prince of mWnl blood, he is of a fain11 v that take hieh rank in Italy ��������� his father being syndaco, or mayor, of the city of Rome. "Prince" Tea no, as he was called by the landlord, came to British ���������"���������:;fs;i'oiti.ai:b;ia in Augustlast, having for companions 'Nlf Daito'n, an old hunter and guide of Clark's .Fork, Montana, and. Freclerick Schiebler, a Grer- mah, who is a noted lion hunter. The party killed bear on Duncan river, mountain sheep on the Lardeaux, goat on the headwaters of Kaslo creek, 'deer on Slocan lake, and report the mountainous country traveled through a.-great one for big game and a sort of paradise for hunters fond of sport.' On the trip they ran out of -pro-.. visions and had to live for, a week on goat steaks washed down ..with water from a glacier. One of the party had a hug with a, silver tip bear, but fame out of the tussel none the worse except for a, few'scratches and bruises. They had a line collection of skins. The party disbanded at Nelson, the "prince" and mr. Schiebler going: direct to San Francisco, thence to Europe. ^ .SIbowM Have. Keen Invented So������iaea*. A correspondent writes to a paper at. Augusta, Georgia, "that saddest thing I saw in a journey to the west was the old-fashioned rail fence in Pennsylvania, Ohio, eastern Indiana and southern Michigan. Plow cruel of fate not to permit the wire fence to be invented 200 years before it was. Probably enough labor and timber have been wasted in the building of the old "worm"- fences in the past to pay off 50 national debts l.-i.��������� ovn-s# it makes one almost weep to think of like the backs that have been broken, of the hands worn out, the energies sapped, the boys kept from school���������in felling trees, splitting logs, driving posts, laying rails for those thousands of miles of rail fence! When a western farmer wants a fence now he buys a few posts and a lot of barbed wire. Three men can put up half a mile of fence in a day. A rod of fence costs complete���������labor, posts and all���������50 cents. A mile of fence costs $160. If the farmer had plenty of growing timber of his own he could not hire a man to cut the "lengths" alone for that money, to say nothing of splitting the raiIs." How it Feels to be Tarred and Feathered. A man who has "been there" tells a reporter: "People who read of tarring and feathering by White Caps and others know that the punishment is a very unpleasant one, but few imagine how terribly painful and dangerous it is. In Wyoming I once saw a man who had been tarred and feathered, and, although he fully deserved the discipline, I could not help pitying him. Hardened tar is very hard to remove from the skin, and when feathers are added it forms a kind of cement that sticks closer than a brother. As soon as the tar sets the victim's sufferings begin. It contracts as it cools, and every one of the little veins on the body are pulled, causing the most exquisite- agony. The perspiration is entirely stopped, and unless the tar is removed death is certain to ensue. .-...'But the removal is no easy task, and requires several days. The tar cannot be softened by the application of heat, and must be peeled off bit by bit,' sweet oil being used to make the process less painful. The irritation to the skin is very great, as the hairs cannot be disengaged, but must be pulled out or cut off, No man can. be cleaned of tar in a single day, as the pain of the .operation-would be too excruciating for endurance, and until this is done he has to suffer from a pain like that of ten thousand pin pricks. Numbers of men have died under the torture, and none,/ who have gone through it: regard tarring and feathering as anything but a most fearful infliction."

That is all, sir! Good afternoon." The Press and Public Men. General Boynton, who since the close of the American civil Avar has been the regular Washington correspondent of a leading Cincinnati daily, has certainly had a good opportunity to size" up. public men, and his close connection with men who conduct newspapers makes him qualified to speak ihtelligen tly of them. In a recent number of the Century he says: / "Is the press immaculate? By no means. Do all connected with it appreciate the grave responsibilities which their limitless facilities for reaching the public should impose upon them ? Again the answer mu st be an em piratic n o. Have public men no reasonable grounds of complaint? Undoubtedly they have. But the sweeping- judgment which too many of them pass upon the representatives of the'press as a body has in it the same elements of unfairness and injustice as exist in the wide opinion that public men as a class are corrupt. With the latter the exact opposite is true. Asa class they are honest- So with journalists���������as a class they are careful and conscientious. The erroneous judgments of public men and of members of the press spring from, the same cause; namely, visiting the shortcomings of the few".upon the many. In the one case the fact that party men, as .a rule, unite to shield those detected in wrong creates a general opinion thatthe class is corrupt. In. the other the fact that there is too much tol- , e ration by the press of its libelers and sensation- mongers givies, excuse to piiblic men for their ��������� sweeping charges, in a word, tlie most effective, foes of the press are those of its own household. It is fully able to deal successfully with ail others it should be abundantly able to crush these." . ' ���������'. Jeanette Mining Company (Foreign). ' Registered the 28th day of September, ,1891.

Once upon a time���������last year we believe it was ���������a religious convention.- was held at Saratoga, New Y rk. Among the delegates was a. brother who, besides being skillful in prayer, was not uninformed in mathaihaties. He had learned to cipher���������not only to sigh for uiansioiis beyond the skies, but to cipher out with a lead pencil how much things cost. He was, moreover*, exceedingly fluent, of speech. During\the discussion about foreign missions he got up and spoke right out in meeting. He said excitedly that he had ciphered it out, and it cost $6,000,000 in hard cash for every damned heathen that was converted. Then suddenly renvembering where he was and whom addressing, he revised his remarks to read ''every blessed heathen," whereupon the ecumenical council drew a long breath and felt very much relieved, although some of the members have n6t yet-'quit giggling whei 1- ever".- the subject of the heathen question is brought up. Six millions for one heathen does seem to be a little steep, even to a. journalist who is accustomed to deal with large sums. There are a great many good .'-people, who would rather take the $6,000,000 themselves, put it .where it would do the most good and then allow Satan to overt act "of the other���������a blow���������war can never come.

Iffow to Pour ISotJlert Beer.- At dinner, not long ago, a party of Pittsburg gentlemen were sitting at table with Hugo Blanck, the noted chemist of that Pennsylvania city, and they noticed that he exercised the greatest care in pouring ovit a- glass of beer. He- tilted the bottle gently and slowly, so that the liquid passed from the bottle to the glass without the least disturbance, and when the glass was full it had no collar of froth at all. "I could have understood your case," said one, "if you had been drinking Bass's ale or Guin- ness's stout, that go on a rampage if not gingerly handled, but I confess I can't see why you bother so much about a glass of lager." Mr. Blanck cast a kindly look of compassion upon the critic and said: ilI thought every beer drinker knew that it should be poured so as to avoid froth. Surely such a simple yet important fact is generally known. No? I'm astonished. Why, if you pour out lager beer headlong into a glass, allowing foam to fill half the measure, you lose the best ingredient in the beer, the invigorating, lively tonic ���������carbonic acid gas. Pour the beer slowly and so," and mr, Blanck illustrated his meaning by holding bottle and glass inclined together, "and you retain the carbonic acid gas in the beer.

That is an interesting discussion reported in the London Standard respecting the policy of forcing a conflict upon a nation known to be preparing for. war. Emperor William of Germany is represented as saying that he would not begin war if conscious that, by delaying it he could secure a single year, nay a single mon th, of peace. The responsibility is so g-reat that he will not, according to this report, strike the first, blow. When other monarchs feel the same way peace will be pretty well assured. In private life fights are avoided on the same principle. Two men quarrel; they are quite ready to come to blows, but neither wants to assume the responsibility of beginning, and so they part. It is a fact that the man who begins the conflict usually has the advantage, at least at the outset, but he must also shoulder the responsibility for what may follow.

Title | The Miner |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : John Houston |
Date Issued | 1891-10-24 |
Description | The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News. |
