NELSON, B. C, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1903. ^^' l/I ii_SL, *>J mm How He Became Popular in the Far North. HAD BRAINS FOR TWO For an Hour and a Half He Entertained a Large Audience. . <. The glory of Dawson City bus departed, so far as romance goes, and the man from Dawson is glad and proud to boast of the fact. Like the respectable citizen who has been a gay blade in bis youth, the man from Dawson will tell of the hot times of '98 and '99. But to-day he and his town are uninterestingly respectable. Ago has brought wisdom to both, but age has not killed lnemor}', says Day by Day in The News, Toronto. In 1898 ��� there was a very grand cabin in Dawson, owned by a man who is well-known in Ontario���Joe Boyle, once of Woodstock, afterwards of London, Melbourne, New- York, and various widel}' separated cities. Joe Boyle and his brother Charley, the horseman, have been rolling stones, but each has gathered moss. The story of the way Joe went to Dawson and the adventures bo had on the journey, would make the average novelist sorrowfully admit that actualities put imagination out of business, so to speak. In '90 Joe Boyle was out on lhe Pacific Coast, whither he had returned from Australia after having had in the Antipodes "an unsuccessful promenade," as our French friends would put it. With Boyle had come from Australia Frank Slavin, in his prima a second-rate heavyweight pugilist, who had never becomoa topuotchor owing to too much good nature and a reluctanco to adhere to the rule.-s of strict training. Slavin had boon a placer miner in Ausirdia beforo he entered tho prize ring, and when tho rush to the gold Holds of tho Yukon began ho and Boyle decided to go thither. Neither of thorn had moro than a fow dollars, but Boyle had brains for two. lio had a good education, a taking manner, and a physique thnt would have helped him had ho, like bin friend gone in for bruising. lOven as an ainotonr Boylo wuh a mighty hiindy man vvith hit) lists, Thoro thoy wore, thoso two ud- vonturors, stalled in Seattle with hardly enough money to keep them for a weok or ho, or to pay for a deck pussago lo .Juneau, Alaska. Tho IniHinoBB man of tho twain hooii mado up his mind. It was a ohho of "Alaska," and tho tickets woro bought. Fivo days later, with por- hnpH ton dollars left, they and thoir Bounty belongings arrived at Jun- ottii, and tho noxt thing wiih to got moro cash. Boylo looked around, and thought ho saw a chance of making a Blake. lio wont to tbe proprietor nf Ihn only hall in town and hirod it. Ho and his friend iBluvIn, tho world-famed pugilist, would, ho announced, give a red hot boxing exhibition in the hall, and no gentleman who considered himself to bo an up-tn ditto sport would stay away. Tickets live dollars. There wan a printing ollieu in tho town, and by the afternoon of tho light n hundred or ro had boon Hold. Slavin nnd lloyb i-aw their way to Dawson. as they appeared. The territory of Alaska is governed direct from Washington, and the officer in command of the army post at Juneau was a strict constructionist. He had been instructed to allow no dis- orderliness in town, and he considered a boxing match to be dis orderly. The opening of the performance was due. The hour arrived, and with it the commandant and a file of men. Addressing the crowd, the representative of the Government announced that he was going to permit no fighting, either glove or bare fist. The miners ''booed," but there was no moving that warrior. Boyle, however, walked out to the front of the stage and addressed the roomful of rough fellows. "Gentlemen," he said, "you have all heard what the commandant says. I didn't know there was any regulation against boxing in this camp, or I wouldn't have sold you the tickets. It is clear that there can be no exhibition, but I can see a piano in that corner, and if you will kindly excuse me a few minutes, Mr. Slavin will give an exhibition of bag-punching. After that it will be up to me and the piano. And I beg��to state that if any gentleman desires to have his money back, he can get.it." The Bo3'le dived behind the skimpy scenery, and got out of the tights he had donned for the boxing show, and into bis street clothes. The miners sat tight and watched Slavin smite the bag. In a few minutes, Boyle emerged from the impromptu dressing room, rolled the piano to the footlights, and sat down. Tbe surprised crowd found that they had with them in the stalwart young fellow with the clean-cut visage,an entertainer that kept them laughing and applauding from tho moment ho touched the first key. Slavin was as surprised as any of the others. Boyle had never told him that he knew a note ; yet here was Boyle, singing songs in a full, rich baritone, telling stories that sent the Argonauts and sailors into fits and generally behaving liko a sub-Arctic Grossmith. Slavin smiled placidly ; lit bis pipe nnd went down and joined the audience. Ho knew that Dawson was a go. Along about 11 o'clock Boylo, who had boon giving a monologue for about an hour and a-half,, announced that tho show was over, but the audionco would not havo it that wny hy any moans. Thoy protested that they wero ready to pay anothor livo dollars ouch, but thoy wanted moro songs, moro RtorioB, morn music, Boylo, beaming, assured them that he wiih honored by their appreciation, but that ho and bin partner would not accopt anothor cent. Then ho went on for twenty minuttiH or ho, and when tho lights wont out ho was tho most popular man in Juneau.

Brown nnd Hurdle; nntlutni, "Ono The celebration of Dominion Day1 in Nelson was in many respects a success, but it. would have been much more enjoyable had there been a small amount of intelligence dieplayed in the arrangement of the various events which went to makb up the celebration. As it was, it was absolutely impossible to tell when or where an event was going to take place, aDd the few programmes distributed were worse than useless in so far as being able to throw light on the matter was concerned. Even Charles Waterman, vvho waB called in at the last moment to straighten out the affair, admitted that he could not make head or tail of the business. For instance, the great attraction the first day was the lacrosse match. This event was announced to take place at 3 o'clock sharp. Yet it was half-past four before the match started, and in the meanwhile the players were forced to stand aronnd in the damp waiting to start, and worse than even this was the fact that tho spectators who had paid their good money to see the game were compelled to witness one of the worst exhibitions of baseball over played on any field in Canada. Of course it was explained that the baseball gamo had to bo postponed on account of the rain, but it would havo been very oasy for the commiutoe to havo arranged a shortor game, and not havo compelled the spectators to remain for an hour and a-half for tho only ovent in which they had any interest. This was only ono of tho complaints mado against tho committee or ralhor against tho mombor oftho committoo who was responsible for tho delay. Tho first day it was almost absolutely impossible to got a programme, for what roaBon thero has aa yet beon no explanation. Ab was boforo Baid, this was not as groat a drawback as might seem at llrst, for tho sports woro arranged utterly regardless of programme or system. Tho various events woro bo dovolailed into oaoh othor that a program mo would havo only added to tho confusion. But tho committoo is ontitlod to somo credit for tho variotyand number of attr notions soon rod. Tho great ovont was tho laorosHO match. It is doubtful if thoro wan ovor as many congregated in tho recreation ground uh on tho two days tho matches took place.

Both matches wore splendid exhibitions of the national game, certainly tho host ovor noon in tho Kootonay. Tho Now Westminster team just- to perfection, which told in the long run. On the other hand, the Nelson team at times showed lack of training, but in a general way proved that they are the material out of which great lacrosse players are made. Without desiring to detract in the least from the merits of the other players, The Economist feeld that a special word of praise is due D. Blackwood and Paul Greyerbiehl. Blackwood played as scarcely another man on either team played, and his work was that of a player who could hold his own on any team in Canada. Greyerboihl is a wonder] for a boy who has only been playing a yoar or so, and should somo day hocomo ono of tho best goal keepers in Canada. The Jeffs brothers, Friday, Taylor, Williamson, Porrior, McNiohol, Thompson, Knox and Mitchell gave a good acoount of themselves, whilo Hawkins waa all that could bo desired as a field captain. For tho Now Westminister team, whilo all played woll, Turnbull and Lynch wero ontitlod tospooial mention. Tho Now Westminister team waa composed of S. Gray, A. W. Gray, Galhraith, T. Gilford, W. Gifford, Pool, Turnbull, Foonoy, Latham, Lynch, Oddy, and Dobeck, with tho votorun Bob Choney as Hold captain.

Tho second match, botwoon Nolson and Northport, was muoh hotter, tho Northport team winning by a scoro of 8 to 5. Althouuh dofoatod tho Nelson team played well, particularly Giogorich, Nelson's right Holder, and Harry Houston. Tlio quoit gamo attracted nomo interest. Tho first day tho Hcores mado woro: Smith 81. vs. Wulloy 28; Walloon 81 vs. Watchorn 23; Nunn 31 vh. Jones 30; Watson J. A. Macdonald, the Ro-sland barrister, is likeJyto get the Liberal nomination for Rossland. that game on both days. The feature of the match wae the. playing of Mrs. Scott and Miss Falding, of Rossland, and Mrs. Hedley and Miss Hammond, of Nelson, the latter two defeating the former ia a closely contested match. The drilling contests excited considerable interest. The competing teams the first day were: Stanley McLennan and H. Thomey, of Pilot Bay, workers in the North Star mine; and H. Hagarty and Ed. Taylor, of the Ymir mine, Tho first prize was won hy Stanley MacLennan and II. Thomey, North Star mine, 34 1-4 inches; tho second prize by H. Hagarty and Ed. Taylor, Ymir mino, 29 inches. The second day throe teams entered: MacLennan nnd Thomey, North Star mine; Hagarty and Taylor, of tho Ymir mine; and McDonald and McGillivray of tho Union Jack, Tho North Star mon won tho first prize with 84 1-4 inches, and tho Ymir men second with 31 inches, in the singlo drill contest, Gallagher of the Granite mine won first prize, 0 8-4 inches, and Kiloel, of Nolson, second, 0 1-4 inches. Tho firemen's races aro always an attractive feature of celebrations in tho Kootonay. Nolson firemen havo a groat record in thoso races, This yoar a team composed of: T. Lillio, ohiof; II. Houston, F. Luckio, II. Douglas, H. Christopher, G. Eaoritt, C. Brett, 0. Dill and It. Chamhors, won tho hub and hub In IH seconds, Trail scouring second money. In tho horse races, 10.

Thoro woro Kiveral other foot races held on linker street in tho evening li, Kirby and Harry Houston boing the principal winners. Altogether tho Dominion Day celebration of 1903 was ono thnt in entitled to a place in tho history of Nelson. In the language of the market reports, the movement in politics is steady, but the volume is not heavy. The Liberals are getting their candidates in the field throughout the province and are already canvassing with a determination to win if possible. There is no lack of Conservative material, and every constituency will be keenly contested. The majority of the electors are discussing politics and manifesting a keen interest in the fight. The��fact that this is the first election on party lineain the province deprives the amateur politician of material for criticism, but both sides suffer from the same disadvantage, so it is even up. While it is more than likely the debaters will have to.fall back on Dominion issues, it seems probable that the party line fight will be. fnirlyweli maintained throughout the province. But men are likely to count in the contest. The mix-up in provincial politics in this province has.served to alienate men from the old parties, and as a consequence hostile feelings have been aroused between men belonging to the same old party but opposed to each other in provincial matters that aro not likely to be obliterated all at once. You can* not be persistent in calling a man a political outcast for a year and then turn around and paint him an angel. Moreover there is a general feeling on tho part of the doctors to start right, and get the best men in tho field, even if thoir partj should go down. Tho majority of mon feel that it is of moro advantage to tho provinco that a good govommont should bo installed at Victoria than that a more party victory should bo gained. Both Conservatives and Liberals nro now starting tho process of building up parties in this provinco, and thoir credit with the pooplo will depend entirely on tho men thoy put forward and their capacity for tho work of legislation. Both partios must bo careful to oliminaio tbo grafter element. The Revelstoke Herald says: "S S. Taylor, K. C, has been nominated by the Liberals to contest Nelson riding. R. S. Lenrie will snow him under. The Grit man ia a new comer, only having been five years in B. C." It is altogether probable lhat Mr. F. J. Deane will contest Kamloops district in the Liberal interest against Mr. Fulton, Conservative. In the Grand Forks dirstict there are any number of candidates on both sides. Phoenix Conservatives want co run Majror Rumberger and Grand Forks Conservatives are . anxious to see Mayor Burriil in the field. The Liberals are discussing the respective merits of Neil McCallum and W. H. P. Clement. Mr. McCallum was a fellow voya- geur with W. Galliher on the Nile in 1884 and 18S5, and Mr.' Clement is the author of the-high School history of Canada. J. M. Kellie, for many years representative for Revelstoke district in the Legislature, has returned from the east, and' informs the editor of the Revelstoke Herald that he did not get,the appointment of postmaster, and that it is none of the editor's business what he went oast for. Mr. Kellie is seriously considering another attempt for the Legislature, as the Liberal candidate for Revelstoke. Greenwood Liberals meet on tho 17th to select a candidate. It is again stated that John L. Retailick will be the Liberal nominee in Kaslo district. Somo ono haa started tho rumor that William MacAdams will run in the Labor interest in the Slocan. William Blakemoro is said to have aspirations in the direction of being tho Labor candidate in Fernie district. . Harry Bentley and \V. R. Ross, barrister, aro rogardod as aspirants for tho Conservative nomination in Fernie constituency. Fiona Trail it is roportod that a Nolson man is seeking tho Conservative nomination for Ymir district, Fred Stoik.of Fernie, nnd Dr. Wilson of MorrUi-oy Minos, are being pushed its candidates for tho Femio dfstiict iu tho Liberal in- torosl.

In tho district of Similkameen thero are candidates galore. 11. G. Sidloy, J. P., and W. J. Snodgrass aro mentioned as Liberal candidates whilo W. T. Shatford of Fuirviow,' Henry Nicholson, J.

Mr. T.��\l<.r deals exhaustively with the evidence i.f Mr. Wells before the Commis- j-ion, enj'hasizing several points that the fii'eudi. < / the Chief Commissioner have not bi-en a'lie u> explain satisfactorily. Why did the government, after making the grants to tho C. I'. it., attempt to impose additional de- niaucld on the railway company, is a question that ha.- not yet been answered. Mr. Taylor points oni wherein Mr. Wells' testimony was most inconsistent, and supplies the probable motive of the hostility of Messrs. Wells and Prentice" to himself.

It is to be hoped that the mission of Hon- Mr. Green and Hon. Mr. Wileun to Ottawa will result in acccnaplithing the objects for which the journey is made. There should be tn understanding at once between the Dominion aud Provincial governments with regard to oriental immigration lo Canada, and the Dominion government should hesitate before disallowing acts passed dealing with this question. The delegation will talk over mining matters with the Dominion ministers with the object of getting an arrangement that will be cf some practical use lo the country. In selecting A. E. McPhillips for the office of Attorney-General, Premier McBride showed wisdom and a desire to acquiesce in the demands of the people for honest, efficient officials. Mr. McPhillips is regarded by political friend and political foe as a man who cannot be corrupted, and who will ever place duty above mere party advantage. A man of sterling integrity, he can be depended upon to administer lhe affairs of his oflice vvith strict impartiality, having regard only to the inalienable righis of the people. It is quite conceivable that a man of the stamp of Hon. Mr. McPhillips would have enemies even in his own camp, but these enemies are men who aie not likely to look wiih favor upon any man who is incorruptible and above reproach. They are only in the party for what there is in it, and would deal with the other party if they thought for a moment they could advance their own interests. Although only a few weeks in office, Premier McBride has demonstrated that he has a complete grasp of the requirements of his position. He has gone about his work in a business-like way, and as a result has won over to liis side a great number of men who are anxious to Bee the country restored to the prosperous conditions of five years ago. As a result of the controversy now going on between C. Dell-Smith and Al. Parr, the Liberal candidate for Ymir district, it would appear lhat the latter could have spent his time more profitably than by wriiing letters to newspapers. So far, Dell teems to havo much the best of the argument. An aspirant for political honors who announced that he would this week organize a committee of thirty for campaign purposes, has so far not been able to aecuro more than three to act on hia committee.

Grand Forks Sun. There seems to be a disposition on the part of some prominent politicians at the coast, and even in Nelson, to assume authority in local party affairs, which, in the opinion of this paper they are not entitled to. And this assumption is not confined to would-be coast dictators ia the Liberal party, bnt similar manifestation of unwarranted interference is discernablo in the Conservative party. Those self constituted leaders must retire from the exercise of control over the interior, under the new party-line conditions, which they enjoyed ���by tolerence under the former system. Phoenix Pioneer. The opposition press is charging Premier McBride with making a deal with theC. P. R., and thereby keeping prospectors off the two coveted blocks of coal lands in East Kootenay. and at the same time securing sinews of war for election purposes. The reply is made that, as the C. P. It. has announced its intention to fight for the lands in question through the courts, it would bo bad policy to deal with these blocks till the question of title is jud- ically t-ettled. To a man up the tree it would seem that Premier McBrido is right, notwithstanding the so-called righteous indignation that this decision has brought out. Grand Forks News-Gazette. It is about time for the Canadian public to awako lo the fact that tho greatest fortunes of the present and of tho futuro will be made in mining enterprises.

Mr. Garrmvay stood tip as young Sirs. Bradshaw roso from lice seat at the dinner table. Ifc Lad been rather a quiet dinner, and ha l>ad had to do nearly all tho talking. Bradshaw opened tho door, and Mr. Gamuvay noticed that each avoided looking at tho other. Ernest Eradsh:iw closed tho doer a id came back to tho table. Ho cracked a walnut, and on opening it threw it into tho lire. "Bad?" said Mr. Garraway. He wr,s starting a cigar and he had refilled hia glass. Ho was perfectly at home with the Bradshaws. "Yes," said youns Mr. Eradshaw violently. "Of courso it's bad. "Worst of it is that you neyer know until you try." Mr. Garraway owed his success as p solicitor mainly to knowing exactly when not to do tho wrong tiling. Young Eradsh.w lighted a cigar and after a few puffs let it go out. Then he stood up with his back to tho fire���it was his fire���and looked at Garraway. "I want to ask you something, Garraway. Do you ever havo people coming to you to draw up deeds of separation?" "Oh, yes; pretty often." "Well, would you mind being of somo tiso to me���aud to Ellen?" "Why, certainly. I'vo known j'ou both���Mrs. Bradshaw especially���for a long timo. But you two don't want to be separated? Why, man alive, yo\i haven't been married a year!" "Garraway, look hero. Wo have had n row, a disputo, or whatever you like to call it." " What I should call it," said Garra way, rising aud speaking with somo as- cerbit}-, "would be a littlo disagreement between two excellent young pcopln wh. ought to know better. " ��� . "l^overtheless, my dear Garraway"��� the young husband's lips quivered��� "nevertheless wo have agreed to par*.'' Ou tho piano in tho drawing room up stairs a few chords were struck and the clear voico of Mrs. Bradshaw rang out. Garraway, getting on in the thirties, and sober man of law, found tho hand that held his cigar shaking for v moment. "You see," said Bradshaw;"perfectly jolly over it." Thero was a sudden stop and a crash on tho piano, as though tho player could keep it tip no longer. "Look hero, Bradshaw"���Mr. Garraway passed his hand carefully over his smooth, sparohair���"look here. Call at my place at 11 tomorrow morning, and 1'lFdo what is wanted." "Thank you, Garraway." "Shall wo go up stairs? I must ar-. range with hor." The demure, preciso little clock on the mantelpieco in Mr. Garraway's chambers struck 11 o'clock. A small boy entered with a card. "Thank yon, Judd. Show tho lady in, Mr. Gibson." Mr. Gibson withdraw his work to the outer office, stopping usido at tho door to permit a slim, girlish figuro to enter. "How do you do, Mr. Garraway? I'm not lato, ami? I did not know tho place, and I had a littlo difficulty. I presume you nro awaro of tlio naturo of my errand?" said tho visitor, "Wo often havo littlo difficulties in the law, Mrs. Bradshaw. If everything worked smoothly, wo would starve. I had uo chance of speaking to you last night," said Mr. Garraway, "oxcopting to ask you to call, but I had a brief conversation with Bradshaw, and ho assurod mo that you hud quito uiudo up your mind about tho matter." "Ho is, .in this particular instance, quito right." Sho put hor lips together uud looked as doterniinod as sho could. "And so I um to draw up tho deed of Boparation?" "It you please." "It'H rathor rough on mo," wont on Mr. Garraway, with an effort nt humor. "Why, it Rooms only yesterday tluitl was his host man, and yon and ho went away to Nouchatel, and wo ohuorod you as you left Viotoria station. Do you ro- moinbor?" " Would you mind tolling mo, plonso, whon (ho doounumfc can bo drawn?" "Anddo yourumoiuhov yourllitit din- nor after your return, and how jolly wo uU woro?

"���I'ou may be sure of that," said young Mrs. Bradshaw confidently. "Ernest must put up with the consequences. And you will see to the drawing up of the deed?" "It shall be put in Land at once." "I should like to leave London this aay week if'possible." "I dare say," said Mr. Garraway with great amiability, "that that can be managed." "There is only tho question, of a housekeeper. Somebody must be there to look alter the servants." "It is thero I think I can bo of some assistance to Ernest." Mr. Garraway spoko with genial assurance. "It so happens that a client of mine is looking for precisely a situation of this kind." "How extremely fortunate!" "She is a good manager, _ho's a widow, and sho has had chargo of a house similar to yours." _ "Thut'.s'capital. As I say, I shouldn't liko tho houso to go to rack and ruin. When could this old lady come, do you think?'' "This���who?" "This old lady, oauld sho come?" "Oh,0 but"���Mr. pleasantly��� 'you are laboring under a slight mistake, Mrs. Bradshaw. Tho lady is not old." "Oh! She is not young, I suppose?" "Well, as a matter of fact, she ia rather young. By the bye, I ought to have her portrait here somewhere. " It had cost Mr. Garraway a shilling, this cabinet portrait, in a shop in tho Strand that morning. The shopman couldn't tell him who it was, didn't know her from Adam, he said, but she was an exceedingly pretty girl in demure black, and the wily-Mr. Garraway was coutont. "Surely, surely, Mr. Garraway," gasped young Mrs. Bradshaw as sha gazed at the portrait, "this is not the kind of person for a housekeeper." "Oh, yes," said Mr. Garraway airily. "She'll do all right. Bradshaw would like her very much, I'm sure, after sho had been in tho house a week or two. I'm told she is a capital manager." Tho bunch of scented narcissus at the lady's bodice was bobbing up and down as she continued to look at the photograph. '' You sea, the great thing is to get some ono who would make poor Bradshaw comfortable and not compel him to bo always at t*:o clubs." Sho put tho photograph down on the tablo. "This lady," said young Mrs. Bradshaw definitely, "shall nover como into my house." "No," agreed Mr. Garraway sweetly. "Of course it would be in Ernest's houso. I am sure that on my recom- auondation"������ "Do you mean to say, Mr. Garraway, that yon would recommend a person .-'-v> this for such a position?" Mrs. Bradshaw had risen from her ohair and spoko iudigjjjyitly. "Now,-Mi j. Bradshaw, pardon me. 3 Sta't r-llowyou to speak ill of a client ca' mine. I havo every reason to believo ti2��t she is a well brod young lady and comos from ono of tho best families. I havo no doubt in my own mind that she will mako my friend Bradshaw, whom I look upon as ono of tho best fellows in the world, very comfortable indeed." Thero was a r��p at tho door, and tho smart boy ontorod with a, card. "Show him in, Jii-.ld." Mr. Garraway wont toward tho door 'to receive tho nowcomor, not boforo, howovor, ho had soon a handkerchief go to tho oyos of hia young yisitoi-. "Bradshaw," ho whisporod afc the door, "liaton to ino, man. Your wifo's in thero crying. Go and kiss hor and make ifc up.'' And bundling tho worried young Bradshaw into tho room in the most \m- professional manner Mr. Garraway wont and spoko in tho outer ollico with Gibson. "I shan't bo back.for an hour, Gibson.

What a curiosity a boy would be if he w-orked as he plays baseball I The entiro community would turn out to look at him, and he would create a greater sensation in his neighborhood than a bicycle race. It would bo an excellent plan to organize in every town and village what might be termed an energy club. Boys and girls alike would bo eligible to membership, tho only condition being that whatsoever they should do should bo done with their might. An energy club with weekly or monthly meetings, when records of g-oil work faithfully dono could be produced, where notes could bo compared upon tho best methods of accomplishing certain ends and aims and when advisers tvho havo the warrant of maturity could offer suggestions on the best ways to utilize tho forco of tho members, would bo a great advantage to tho young residents of any city.���Philadelphia Times.

Miss Mathes is always a welcome visitor to Nelson, and this time as usual she has a good supporting company with her. Nearly all the plays given this week are new, so far as Nelson audiences are concerned. Perhaps the best of the new pieces is "A Fatal Er- productiou in which Miss Mathes shows to great advantage. "Nell Gwynne," on Tuesday evening attracted a large audience, as in fact has every piece given. Iu the company ibis time tbereare many faces familiar to Nelson theatre-goers, such as Mr. Marsh, Air. Roberts and Miss Emma Mathes. They each received a hearty welcome on their reappearance. To- nigbt will conclude the week's engagement, when "As in a Looking-Glass," a play in which Mrs. Langtry scored a great "success, will be given in Nelson for the first time. In the Clara Mathes company this time there are many specialties given, all of a most acceptable character. It may be some time before this company comes here again aud they should be given a good house on their farewell appearance to-night. Opticians Baker Street, Nelson CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM. The Economist acknowledges with thanks a copy of "Martin's Mining Cases," * work compiled by Hon. Archer Martin, Justice of the Supreme Court. This work has been favorably received by the legal profession, eoiitaiiitng as it does decisions of all the important mining cases which have come before the British Columbia courts Not only will the woak be valuable ,1'rorn this point of view, but it will possess additional value from the fact that it contains, as the learned himself puts it, "a limited number of the earlier and most important laws, so that a true understanding of the origin and foundation of our present system may be had, and, M-tond, all the statutes from and including the Consolidated Mineral Act of 18S4. This will cover the title, so far as can be ascertained, to every mineral claim in British Columbia." The work is one that the mine owner, the mine manager and publishers of papers in mining districts can read with pr .ri t, and should be on the shelves of every library in the province. It ia istikd ly Carsweli & Co., Limited, of Toronto. [Adopted at Kevelstoke,September 13th, 1902.J 1.

" To adopt the principles of government ownership of railways in so far as the circumstances of the province will admit, and the adoption of the principle that no bonus should be granted to any railway company which does uot givo the government of the province control of rates, over lines bonused, together with the option of purcnase.
