CANADIAN BY BIRTH Life of the Oxford County Girl Whose Doings Have Created a Great Sensation. Woodstock, Dec. 5.���Tbe little vil- ags of Eastwood, a few miles from here, was the giilbood home of Miss Betsey Bigley, who as tbe wife of Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick, one of the prominent physicians of Cleveland, is the ..central figure of the sensational story which has aroused the interest of the whole continent. It was in the year 1878, while still living in her village home tbat Mrs. Chadwick first came into public notice. One day sho called at a barber shop and having had her hair cat off and purchased a false moustache, she tried to raise money on a gold watch. This aroused suspicious aud the barber, called in thc police, who notified her father and had ber taken borne. From this time her peculiarities began to develop. She carried around with her .a card, on which was inscribed: "Miss Bigley, heiress to $13,000," and to keep up this reputation sbe went in for expensive purchases. She bought hundreds of dollars' worth of dry goods and paid for them'with a note endorsed by a prominent farmer near Brantford. Another purchase was an organ, for which she gave her own note, which she failed to pay wh'en'it fell" due, giving instead, however, a note signed by the late Reuben Kipp. This was forgery and Miss Bigley as the result of the transaction found herself in jail. Curiosly enough she was acquitted on the ground of insanity and immediately after the trial she disappeared from tbis neighborhood, and was seen no more until 1889, when-she returned seemingly very well-to-do. In January, 1890, she again came prominently before tbe public, through her arrest at Toledo, under the name of Madame De Vere, on a charge of forgery. She was accused of forging the name of Richard Brown, of Cleve land, to a note for ��10,000. She was acquitted' on the first indictment, but others stood against lier, lind'she was Anally convicted and sentenced to'.ten years in prison. At the end of three and a half years she was silo wed out on parole. .She then adopted tbe name "Hoover," and under it wns married to Dr. Child wick, on Aug. 26, 1897, at Windsor. Her mother, Mrs. Mary Anne Bigley, now lives in a modest little house in Woodstock, with a sister, Mrs. Campbell, whose husband died about six months ago. Mrs, Bigley is well up in years and is of a highly respectable family which has lived around this town for many years, Her father was a farmer at Eastwood, and was reputed to be an upright and honest man. The family in fact have always borne the reputation of plain*; quiet people who paid their debts and attended to their own business. Betsey is the or_y member who has ever deviated from this way of living. , ( ,. ,'"��� - A correspondent called at the family home on Dundas street yesterday and asked for Mrs. Bigley- He, was received at the door by, Mrs. Campbell, who told him tbat her mother was in Cleveland. On the subject of her sister, however, Mrs. Campbell was very reticent and beyond stating that she had never known tliat Mrs. Chadwick went under, the name of De Vere, sbe gave the correspondent1 absolutely no nformation. In the meantime Wxs. Chadwi ek ap-. pears to have secluded herself at the Holland House in New York, where she maintains a suite of rooms thc year round. JHer husband and ber daughter by a former marriage, are supposed to be abroad. Mrs. Chadwick herself has spent much time in travelling in Europe and on landing iu New York in 190S, paid duty on $10,000 worth of diamonds and other jewels. At the same time she wore a $10,000 necklace, but on being challenged regarding them she claimed that they had beeu purchased in the States. They were held for a few days, but her high social position enabled her to recover them without paying i*uty. In the same year she lost a $4,000 brooch in a sleeper on the, Pennsylvania road, but it was picked- up" and returned to her. J She has been at the Holland Huuse for several weeks registered- as "Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, and it is said.that she is under the care of, a physician. In reply to a note sent to her apartments she emphatically denied tbe stataements in the newspapers to' tbe effect that' she had been known as Lydia De Vere, that she bad served a term in the penitentiary and that* she bad made use of aliases. '���It is all a wicked falsehood," she wrote, and added that gi eat wrong had beeu done herself "and other innocent persons. .-���.-.' Detective Manley,' of Toledo, says that when she practised clairvoyance in Teledo, she had among her clients some of tlie most prominent.people ofthe city, some of them great financiers. It is stated by tbe solicitor of tbe Brooklyn banker, who advanced Mrs. Chadwick $190,000,- that she represented that a Cleveland banking company had $5,000,000 of securities belonging to her and that she also showed him a note for $500,000signed by a nr.an whose financial-standing couldnol'be questioned. He says he-was not hypnotized and that the transaction waa purely a business oue. TH For ths Mayoralty and Their Platforms. NELSON, B. C., SATURDAY DECEMBER 10, 19C4. THE LIGHT QUESTION Campaign of Misrepresentation .. ���Success Versus V ,- Failure. ��� Since the foregoing was written Mrs. Chadwick has been arrested, and arraigned before a TJuited States commissioner, charged.with aiding and abetting a bank official to misapply the funds of a national bank. Tbe case is likely to deyelop features of a most sensational character. . Andrew Carnegie was very angry when asked for a further statement relative to the use of his name iu the financial troubles of Mrs. Chadwick. Mr. Carnegie does not wish- to be bothered any more about tbe Chad wick woman. -His secretary said : "He is' quite angry over this persistent use of his name, aud wishes it- to' cease at once. Once and for all he never knew Mrs. Chadwick, or any other such woman, and he never signed any such papers as reports credit him with. That is all." . , "Pretty Polly," said to bo a very entertaining musical comedy, comes to the Opera House next Monday evening. Its special claim to patronage, is on account of i-js catchy songs, duets, trios, quartettes, sextettes and dances. A dispatch from Montreal, dated Decern ber 6 announces that at a meeting of Conservative members and representative men ofthe party held Tuesday evening at the Windsor Hotel, the political situation was fully and freely discussed by nearly every person present. It was.tbe unanimous wish that Mr. R. L. Bordon should remain in public life, and also retain his pos- as,leader of the Conservative party. Mr. Borden, who briefly addressed the gathering, received a great ovation as he began to- speak. He thanked his friends and supporters for their kindness and devotion. The gathering was informal and the leader thought it advisable to defer definite action until the opening of Parliament, when tbe party will be in a position to formally discuss the situation. To lhe Electors bf Nelson: ��� At the request of a large number of ratepayers of. our ~Qity, I have con- sented to offer myself as a candidate for the Mayoralty for the forthcoming year. -If elected I- will give my best efforts to carry ouCthe following, u r_f ; 1.

Botii of the addresses app-uently recognize the leed which may exist of cutting the coat according to tlie quantity.of cloth that may be available. There is nothing in the address of Dr. Rose at all comparable in vagueness to the las,t clause in the address of Houston, wherein be promises to put a stop to professional gambling-'without interfering with" thon-ea8bnable rights of in- dividuals, watch" means anything; or nothing according as one chooses to interpret the' language. It was obviously so intended.by Houston. .' But the charge' against tbe-election address and attitude of Drl* -Rose to i'��~-. _r-��r -.a . j! _, 1, _._=_-_.y -v -.,-.. __^. . .. r which reference is made ' most frequently, in'-tbe columns of the Tribune is in"regard"toltbe .construction and -f ����� *~ a. ��� ��i .

Houston would have it appear���and if strong and frequent assertions would accomplish" thfs,&ifc. certainly would be accepted by the'electors���that he alone favors this; thatDr. Rose is in opposition to it, being in some inconceivable way under tbe misineric influence of the West Kootenay Power- and,,Light Company ; thafefhfe alone is in favor of tbe city of Nelson"o\Vuing and operating its ownlpo'wer station and placing itself in a positioir-to supply'light to the city attd cheap power to manufac- It his' - - r [ , address is explicit on this. point." Houston still persists in such statement and contention. Now Houston* .well knows -that in' all this he 'is' simply:, misrepresenting the Famous Men of Prize Ring. THE THREE JACKS Boxers .Who Have Come.and Gone after Making Names ; - for Themselves, a turiug industries - located therein matters not that-.Dr. Rose iu Above.is the address which has been issued to theelectors of the city of Nelson Jby^Dr Rosejeandidate -for���the "mayoralty for the yeair1905. For some time, indeed since he anticipated that Dr. Rose would be his opponent in the forthcoming contest, John Houston has been treating him to' column's of abuse in the Tribune, and has been seeking to raise false issues, and thereby to create a false impression regarding the position occupied by-Dr. Rose on public questions. Throw mud enough and some of it*will- btick���that would seem to be the explanation of Houston's methods. Dr. Rose lias been represented by him as a professing Christian and his address as unworthy of one making such profession. Wherein ? one would ask after reading it. One seeks for an answer to that question in vain. The address is that of an energetic business man, who, if elected, will endeavor to carry .out such measures as he conceives to be in tbe best interests of the city. He therein sets forth some of the measures most needful in the interest of the city of Nelson, and he promises his best endeavors to promote such measures. Wherein is this inconsistent with such profession ? Of this one may be reasonably certain, that no sane man will prefer such a charge against Houston. His language and methods savor more of the gutter than anything higher.1 Having no respect for himself, he cannot be expected to respect others or to pursue other methods. . Then Dr. Rose's platform is said by Houston to be indefinite. Again, we awk, wherein? It is surely as definite is simply:, misrepresenting attitude .toward.-.this matter and the address bf his.oppbn'ent. -The latter is ."���" -*.*V - i ' *��� ' * ' - ' .- as strongly_ pjjedgedon this^matter as the'forinefcan'b'e. Yet it suits" Houst- ton"to represent matters otherwise. He knows; and event* elector who'will peruse the address of.Br.'Rose can sat- -. ���, .���. �� ---: _)��� , r- i ....

But over and above the election addresses of these two candidates, there is another thought which we would place before the electors. It is this. A successful New York" business man gave it as a result of his very long experience that in engaging men to do work of any-kind. for_Lim,'_he laid_it down as a rule not to be departed from never to engage one who, had been a failure so far as his business life for himself was concerned. His long experience had taught him tna,t the man who was unsuccessful for himself was not likely to be otherwise in handling the business a flairs of others. There might be exceptions, but they were exceptions. The application of this is very obvious. We have before us two candidates for the mayoralty of the city of Nelson, one of whom by his skill and energy has made a success of his business, and the operations of thc other have for himself simply spelled failure. To whom of the two would you most readily entrust the successful conducting of thc business of otberst of the municipality, with the expectation of its being properly, energetically conducted ? To tbe successful man, or to him whose business life to far as he* himself is concerned has been a failure ? This is a pertinent question for electors to ask themselves. Among the names mentioned in connection with seats at the council board for tbe forthcoming" year, are A. H. Clements, Harry Bird and R.SM..McDonald in the West Ward, and'-W. G. Gillett and William Spry in the East Ward. AUJof these gentlemen are well ���i qualifled'for tbe office, and .it will be to the credit of the citizens if they elect* every one of them, aud their friends believe that such will be the case. "The St. Eugene has 400,000 tons of ore ready for m inlng and shipmen t. ��� "Those who follow the doings of the prize ring often wonder what becomes of all the pugilists who have helped to make fistic .history," says the New York Sun. ' Since John L. Sullivan was in his primp, many fighters have come and gone. Yet it is only twelve years since Sullivan was defeated by Jim Corbett for the heavyweight title. Since 1892, when Sullivan realized what decisive defeat meant, championships in the various classes have changed hands many times. .The art has improved. . Old methods have given place to up-to-date ideas. Clubs have been organized and disbanded. New-referees with new iuterpretatious of the rules have sprung into prominence. Yet the principles of boxing is the same and will no doubt remain the same until the end of time." Twelve_years ago last September .the sporting world was paying homage to three Jacks���John,- L., Jack McAuliffe and Jack Dempsey. With }he exception of Dempsey, they are still alive, but are dead as Juliuz Caesar as far as ever lighting again is concerned. _ There is a,peculiar trait about fighters of which, the-public ino-wB lSttlOi.-^It Jstheir disinclination to'admit that their days of usefulness in the ring are over. A pugilist will do everything in his power to keep from being called a ''has been."- There is nothing that" pains bin.' more than to be ignored while others succeed him in the public affections. Some lighters of a decade agoare still as popular as they were in the heyday of their career. An instance is John L. Sullivan, who still retains his hold on the affections of the people. The same can be said of Jim Corbett, Joe Choynski, and Bob Fitzsimmous. Tliey~liave~bee n ableto keeptlieiTcog- uomens alive by fighting. Corbett has other ways of ingratiating himself before the public. He is a resourceful press agent and knows how to shine conspicuously in print. Corbett is intelligent and a good talker. He is now an actor, a profession that invites notoriety and fame. ���I ' Very little is heard nowadays of Geprge Dixon. . He is in England and although he fights as often us twice a month, the results of these contests rarely reaches this side of the Atlantic. Yet five years ago Dixon's name as a pugilist was something to conjure with.

After a long, useful and eventful career of twenty-eight _ .years *"on' the bench, Judge Richardson retired last year".' During the time that h^dispensed justics in the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territory, he has sat on many importeut cases,'but there is one above all others with which his name will ever be associated in the history of Canada. That is tlie trial and sentence to lhe utmost rigor of the law of Louis Riel, who fomented two rebellions in thc Northwest, and on whom the death sentence was passed by Justice Richardson in May, 1886. With the noted halt-breed agitator were also sentenced a batch of forty of the ringleaders of the rebellion of 1885. To a Vancouver Province representative Justice Richardson related many interesting reminiscences of that historic trial. More than that he exhibited several photographs���some of the lew. in existence���taken during the trial of Riel after his sensational- cap- ture by Gen. Middleton, while trying to make his escape ovor the line into United States. The pictures are excellent and show some faces that have since become prominently: identified with Canada's progress. One photo shows' the Hon. Charles Fitzpatrick, the present Minister of Justice, counsel for Riel iu that trial, who is shown in the act of addressing the jury in th e rebel's defence. Another personage that has a local interest is Dr. Jukes, then surgeon for the Northwest Mounted Police, who examined Riel on-his-sanity.���It'will be remembered that the wily rebel as a last resort put in a pica of insanity.- -Dr. Jukes had Riel under his observation continually after his capture an- until the conclusion of his trial. It was Dr. Jukes' evidence that was mainly" instrumental in breaking down the insanity plea. Dr, Jukes is father of Mr. Andrew Jukes, manager of the local branch of ^the Imperial Bank. ''Yes, there was naturally a good deal of interest taken inRiel's trial," said Mr. Justice Richardson to the Province, "and the courtroom was crowded to its utmost during each of the ten clays the trial lusted. The trial-proper lasted only six days, four days being taken up with selecting a jury and other technicalities. No, there was n'o doubt of Riel's guilt���there could be none���the only question at issue was that of alleged insanity and���well, you know how it ended. "A notable fai t about Riel's trial was that it was the firstcase of high treason since the rebellion .of 1837. It was tried under an old act passed during the reign of Edward III. Tho foity ringleaders, on the other hand were not tried for high treason, but on what is known as treason-felony. Their cases were tried under an act that was passed in 1869, when the Canadian criminal laws were revised and passed by the. Parliament of that year. * My. decision was appealed to the court of Queen's Bench at Winnipeg and again to the Supreme Court of Canada at Ottawa, but the sentence remained as given." BRIAR PIPES.
