The report of. the committee was adopted without; debate. ' * ~*' ' After the report had been adopted mayor Fletcher suggested that aldermen Paterson and Madden should represent the council at the approaching meeting of the hospital society, and a resolution along this line was moved and adopted. The board of public works reported: That an 8-inch sewer be constructed on Baker street from the Sherbrooke hotel to Fall street./ Witli "reference to the communication from the health officer en-, closing a list of properties requiring proper sewer connections and of properties already connected still using outside privies, your committee recommend that the necessary notice for sewer connections be served and such other steps as may be requisite to carry out the suggestions of the health officer. .

Alderman, Irving, introduced the annual^road tax by-law. Alderman Madden objected .to auy such by-law on the ground that none but property owners, who were easy to- get at, were called! upon to pay such tax. . -. Alderman Selous suggested that no commission1 be allowed for the collection of "taxes from assessed owners.. The by-law was put through its several readings and April 1st was set as the day for payment. Bylaw No. 92, known as the cemetery bylaw, received its first and second readings pro forma. On motion of alderman Irving, seconded by alderman Hamilton, the city assessor was instructed to proceed with the assessment of the city for the current year, and that the assessment roll be returned on May Oth. A communication was received from the Rocky Mountain Rangers band asking for the return of certain musical instruments in the possession of other persons. It was referred to the mayor. Increase in Civil List. London, March 11.���In' the house of commons today sir Michael Hicks- Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, when moving the appointment of a Select committee to consider the new civil list conveyed a hint that an increase on the civil list might be expected. He said that while the government's proposals would be based on the late queen Victoria's civil list, it must be remembered that king Edward had a consort and that he was not only king of the United Kingdom, but the head of a world-wide empire. In previous reigns the parliament had been asked to pay the debts of a sovereign, but no such applications were ever made by queen Victoria. The country might look forward with confidence to king Edward, who has for many years occupied an exceptional position involving exceptional expenditures. His in- not large when flmt of some private form his had won the gratira-cMlj^the coun try. The proposals would . be framed iri a spirit of justice to the crown and people. John Redmond, the Irish leader, gave notice of his intention to oppose all consideration of the subject until the government promised to alter the monarch's anti-Catholic declaration known as the no popery oath, but on Mr. Balfour's announcing that it was proposed to appoint a commission to consider the matter, Mr. Redmond withdrew his opposition for the present. A committee wa9 then appointed. Dewet Moving Northward. Bloemfontein, March 10.���General Dewet is reported to be moving northward steadily at the rate of twenty-five miles a day with a view of crossing the railway to the eastward." He should now be west of Kroonstadt. Several small commandoes are in possession of the southeastern portion of the Orange River Colony. It is impossible not to be struck with the fact that a great portion of the former enemies 'of Great Britain iu South Africa now frankly throw in their lot with the British. Companies of, ex-burghers from Bloemfontein, Kroonstadt and Brandford are now bearing arms against the. Boers; They state their object is not to operate against their former comrades, but to defend their homes and property against marauding bands. Every town in the Free State occupied by the British soon will become a center of British influence extending a long distance in their vicinity. Over' 13,000 refugees are now within the British lines, and many of them demand arms and permission to take the field. If their requests be granted, it will be easy to get 2000' ex-burghers enrolled on the British side. "*��� . ''A "���'. :������'������ Botha's Surrender.

Lorenzo Marquez, March 11.��� General Botha is willing to surrender. He asked an armistice in order to communicate with general Dewet and Mr. Steyn. Should they decline it is believed, nevertheless, that general Botha \yill surrender. The Boers have no artillery e or ammunition and are burying all their guns. The "railway from Lorenzo Marquez to Pretoria is practically clear of Boers. Shoemakers Strike. North Brookfield, Massachus* etts, March 11.���The strike threatened by the employees of the E. & E. H. Bacheller Shoe Company, on account of a ten per cent cut ��� in wages, was begun today. Only 25 of the 150 hands went to work. There was an exodus among the Bacheller shoe workers today, many of them having secured positions at other places and others going to seek work. Jury Disagreed.

London, March 11.���The Times in its second edition today publishes a despatch from Shanghai,, dated March 11, saying, "It is reported upon trustworthy , authority that Russia has -notified China that unless the Marichurian convention is signed at an early date, she (Russia) will withdraw -the convention and substitute harder terms in its place. Li Hung Chiang declared he is powerless to resist and has appealed to the United States, Great Britain, Germany and Japan to intervene in China's behalf." Considerable uneasiness is believed to exist between the Yang Tse viceroys and Li Hung Chang in consequence of tlie extreme friction. ' infantry Companies to Remain. Pekin, March 11.���Companies A and B of the Ninth United States Infantry have been notified that they are to remain in China. It is believed that major Robertson,will command them. Many Americans here urge the legation to use its influence to have at least two field .guns and enough artillerymen to work them left. They "say that during the siege these guns -wmild have been more valuable than two hundred armed' men, and that the necessity for their use-is liable to occur again. The Germans report that in the recent engagement near Pao Ting Fu 250 Chinese were killed and four magazine' guns captured. -There were no German losses. Despite the report-that-Li Hung Chang is seriously ill and that his life Jiangs by a thread his physicians say that his condition is no worse than that of any ordinary man in the same circumstances, and would not be dangerous except for his advanced age. They are extremely hopeful of boing able to bring him around. Quarters for Troops. Pekin, March 11.���The question of the quarters for American troops remaining in Pekin is still the subject of discussion. Army men favor the Temple of Agriculture as being healthier and sufficiently near the legation for troops to be sent there in a hurry as an additional guard should* circumstances arise rendering it necessary. They think the court's objections are magnifiecL_It isT^rlik^ly^thlit^th^BBtisir^will relinquish the Temple of Heaven and they will certainly long require the permanent building .being erected there. A company of infantry easily could be housed in the Temple of Agriculture and the two temples are now used for quartermaster's stores. The only other available place ready is a palace belonging to one of the princes far from the legation in the middle of the Tartar city. This is private property. . - Japanese Diet Prorogued. Tokio, March 11.���The imperial diet, which had been prorogued until March 8 th to give the house of peers an opportunity to assent to the new taxation bills covering the expenses of the Japanese expeditionary corps in China, was again prorogued for five days.

A third prorogation of tlie diet is not permissible under the constitution. Duel at the Church Door. Halifax, March 11.���A family feud at Shubenacadie, 40 miles from here, culminated today in a bloody shooting affray. The participants were David, Emach and Melrose Ettinger on one side and three Lantz brothers on tho other. The trouble started some time ago over a disputed piece of land. The Lantz brothers; were leaving a church today, when the Ettmgers opened fire with revolvers. One of the Lantz brothers fell at the first fire. His brothers returned the fire and two of their assailants were shot and Eriiach probably, fatally. The wounds of the others are serious but not] dangerous.'

Eight Bodies Have Been Recovered From " the Wreck and Twenty-five Reported Missing. Chicago, March 11.���Aboiler of the Dorernus -laundry,. occupying part of the - old Waverly theater building on West Madison street, exploded today, destroying the building. In a few moments the mass of debris caught fire. Eight bodies have been recovered from the ruins, six persons are still missing and at least 25 men and girls were so seriously injured that many of them will die. -7 All of the dozen or more little stores attached to the Waverly theatre and facing 'on Madison street were wrecked by the explosion. In a restaurant owned by Peter Dean, one of the fatalities is supposed to have occurred. The TtmT^f'the^^tSurSnt^^as"-almost- opposite the boiler. Mr. Dean, his wife and two boys were eating, at the time. The explosion blew in the rear wall of the little establishment and buried the Dean family. All were extricated except William, a ten year old boy, who'is believed to be buried in the ruins. The windows along Madison street were blown to atoms and a number of pedestrians were cut and' bruised by the showers of glass. A Madison street cable car passing the building at the time of the explosion was almost blown from- the track by the force of the explosion. The passengers were thrown into a panic, no one being injured, however. Five girls working in the paper mache works of J. E. Young, occupying a part of the building, narrowly escaped death. The plant was a complete wreck and: the roof blown in, but only, one of"''"the employees was injured. The cause of the explosion is a mystery and as the engineer was killed, it may never be known. - A Bubonic Plague Spreading. Cape Town, March 11.���The bubonic plague is developing seriously in Cape Town. Fifteen new cases were officially reported today and 97 other persons were isolated because of having come into contact with victims of the disease. Today two colored persons who had been attacked by the plague died in the streets of Cape Town. A European died while being removed to the hospital. The malady is reaching the more prosperous classes and it has been necessary to remove to the hospital the entire family of a gentleman. ARRANGEMENTS PERFECTED BRANDON AND GOLDEN CROWN TO RESUME. Satisfactory Reorganization Plans Have Been Arranged Whereby Necessary Capital Is Secured. Rossland, March 11.���A plan has. just been perfected whereby the treasury of the Brandon and Golden Crown Mining Company will be. restored and will enable operations to be resumed shortly on an extensive- scale. Owing to the slump in mining shares in Eastern Canada, the directors were unable to dispose of any more treasury stock and in consequence operations were suspended -last November.- Prior to that date considerable ore shipments to the Trail smelter had been made. The freight and treatment rate was such that the directors did not feel justified m paying it any longer, especially as the . smelter company declined to reduce the figures unless a contract for a specified tonnage was entered into or unless the entire output of the mine was sent to Trail for one year ��� at a fixed rate. The reorganization just effected has taken a different form from that usually adopted. . Instead of the company being reconstructed and made assessable, as is the practice, the original subscribers have "entered into a written agreement in virtue' of which they have agreed to" contribute or surrender to the treasury 40 per cent of their .original holdings,*, and as the subscrib-. ers' stock has been in a pool.since 1897 this agreerhent was thus more easily accomplished, as the promoters'' stock was riot .scattered; By the plan .adopted ,by the pro-| moters.two .important things-have been"accomplished���first, the saving of the cost of. reconstruction, and secondly, saving the purchaser ^of treasury shares of an extra assess- riient. The original subscribers have thus shown evidence of their good faith as Avell as their high opinion of the future of the property, which is regarded as one of the most promising in the Boundary. With the treasury on hand and the forty per cent, contributed by the original subscribers it will bring the shares in the treasury to 450,000.; Negotiations for the sale of a large block of the treasury are now in progress, and the proceeds will not only be sufficient to pay off the floating debt, but will provide sufficient funds for working capital so that when ore shipments_are. resumed it will be on a permanent basis. ��� - Kaslo Votes the Bonus. Kaslo, March 11.���The property owners of Kaslo today voted.on two bylaws, one to grant a $50,000 bonus and the other to grant exemption from taxation for ten years.to a smelter to be erected. Accompany is now organized,' to operate the smelter. These municipal privileges are open to the first one .who fulfills the conditions, work to commence by October 1st next. Kaslo as. the center of a great silver-lead district of British Calumbia is destined shortly to become a great smelting point. The construction of a smelter here will relieve the difficulty under which the silver- lead mining industry is'nefw laboring. Today's meeting was unanimously in favor of the bonus and only two votes were recorded against exemption. Gave Him Knockout Drops. New York, March 11.���Charles Thompson, 17 years old, the postal telegraph messenger who was taken to a hospital yesterday suffering from the supposed effects of knockout drops, alleged to have been administered in a disorderly house at Bowery and Prince streets, died today. An autopsy was said to have shown that the boy died from apoplexy._ Remarkable Case. London, March 11.���A remarkable, story of male impersonation, recalling the Murray Hill case bf New York, was revealed in apolicecourfc here today in connection with an arrest for alleged money frauds. The prisoner, named' Catherine, Coombe, aged 06, described as a house decorator, appeared in the docket in male attire. For 40 years Catherine impersonated a man and worked ou board Peninsula and Oriental steamers in various capacities and also for London firms. She says.she was married at 15, taught school and then thought there were better chances of advancement as a man. Eventually she married a lady's maid, with whom she lived 14 years. Wants a Divorce. �� Paris, March 11.���Cecelie Phelps, of Richmond, Va., a niece of W. W. Phelps,' is collecting evidence in Paris on whicli to sue for a divorce from her husband, Paul Machion. She was married first to the Italian count Kieranas. After her divorce the Frenchman followed her to America, and they were married, at Hackensack.: ���She said to the Journal correspondent: "Machion sought money from me all the time, like " Castellane did from. .Anna Gould. Frenchmen like to live off women. My husband .thought I had enormous plantations, and when I did not give him money he would get angry and illtreat me. I cannot advise my countrywomen to marry a Frenchman as a rule. When I get the evidence and the divorce'I am going to Brazil to iive." GREAT BRITAIN'S ANSWER TO THE SENATE'S ACTION ON CANAL TREATY.

Professor McDonald Dead. Montreal, March 11.���Professor Charles McDonald of DalhouBie College, New Brunswick, is dead. Washington, March 11.���The long-expected answer from the British government to . the . state department's communication reciting the action of the senate upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, was received at noon today. Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador, already had acquainted ' secretary Hay with the fact that he .had received a communication from his government^on the subject, and it is believed it has been in his possession for several days. . Lord Pauncefote came' to ithe state.department at noon by appointment. He brought the answer with him and read it to secretary Hay. It * was in the form of an instruction - from lord Lansdowne, the British minister of foreign affairs, to lord Pauncefote, and of this instruction * he left a copy with" secretary Hay. The secretary and the ambassador were closeted for half an hour. At the conclusion of the conference it was stated that the instruction tov lord" Pauncefote was to notify the government of the United States tliat the British government did not see its way clear to the acceptance of the amendments. These .amendments were treated in ��� detail at some length in argumentative fashion, the purpose of the British government being to show that it had sound reason for declining to accept them. After disposing of the details, the note concluded with an expression of regret, -that such a course had been'forced ,np6n the British* government. \ There was nothing iii the .nature of a.couriter>pr6position nor was/in- opening left for further action by the British government. It Willi stated that if there was to be a further attempt to amend the Clayton- Bulwer treaty so as to authorize the United States tp construct a waterway across the isthmus then it was for the United States to make the overtures. The British' government simply dropped the matter at that point. Secretary Hay carried the communication to _. the White House to talk with the president as to the future action of the department. The impression prevails that there will be no immediate action looking towards the negotiation of the treaty. Maher Agrees to Tackle Sharkey. New Yoiuc, March__ll.���Thomas Sharkey has finally found an opponent who is willing to block his bull-like rushes and terrific swings. Peter Maher lias accepted the sailor's challenge' for a limited- round bout, and the two Irish pugilists will be matched during the coming week. The match is practically on now, and all that remains to cinch the affair is the signing of the articles und posting of forfeits. The Louisville Athletic Club has already offered a purse for the bout, to take place next month which will probably bo acceptable to both parties. Agricultural Machinery Exempt. St. Pkteusijuiio, Marcli 11.��� Answering a telegraphic enquiry from an American company, Mr. Charlemagne Tower, the United States ambassador, cabled that agricultural machinery was not affected by the recent application of the Russian tariff law, whicli excepted such machinery from the provisions of clause 2'of paragraph 107, and placed it in a separato clause. j Gold in Strong-Box.

Several members of the house of commons have busied themselves lately in endeavoring to arrive at the government's probable expenditures under this head during the next seven years, and their findings place the total anywhere from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000. If anything like the same liberal encouragement was given to lead smelting and refining the lead mining industry of this province would soon become independent of the United States lead trust.

While overy little was said with respect to the increased burdens' which the change will place 'upon the corporation, the opinion appeared tobegeneral that, some provision should be made in the amending Act whereby the public body which is required to finance the schools should have some voice in determining the penditures. Spanish Riots. Barcelona, March 11.—A.riot is reported to have taken place at Manleu, forty miles north of here, iu consequence of a strike. The strikers attacked some factories and burned two of them. The gendarmes intervened and in the resulting conflict two persons were killed and a number of others were wounded, including the mayor. The telegraph lines between here and Manleu have been cut. ex- THE HUDSON'S BAY @fae Mxibnix^ Since the delegates to the board of trade meeting in Greenwood decided to assist James J. "Hill to gold- -brick the people of British Columbia, the Pernio Free Press, says they are the most influential body of laymen in the province. A scheme for the nationalization of the Canadian telegraphs is on the cards for the next session of parliament; This is a matter which falls within the province of the postmaster-general, and while on his present trip to Australia Hon. Mr. Muloek will give the management of government telegraphs some study. The Vancouver Province suggests that, instead of subsidizing any company to build the proposed rail- .- - - way— from-the—Boundary^-to—the Coast, the provincial government t should hang up the purse it is pro- '.' l posed to give in aid of "such an J undertaking, and put those who are / anxious to build such a road into • i , competition for'it. The Hamilton Herald says that even if there were danger of a tem- 1 porary shortage in the British 7'[■'-•-'. Columbia fuel supply such would not be a good reason for withholding the Hill railway charter. This voices a sentiment in the East „ . which places the immediate inter- ' ests of an individual coal company ahead of the general welfare of an ,, ! entire province. Advocates of government construction and ownership of railways do not receive much consideration at meetings called in the interest of railway promoters who desire government construction first and private ownership afterwards. At Vancouver the other evening the government ownership men were told in plain terms that the short line from the coast to the Boundary could only be undertaken by two companies—the ■ Canadian Pacific or the V. V. & E. and its unknown backers. Government ownership of. railways is never con- . ceded to be practical when a fat railway subsidy is in sight. The bounties paid by the Dominion goverhmeht in aid of the iron And rteel industries will assirttt© While the Manitoba Free Press has no objection to James J. Hill fostering his railway feeder upon the coal fields of East Kootenay it has very decided objections to premier Roblin's attempt to give the people of Manitoba government control of half its railways. An Investigating Commission Desired. Kootenay Mail. A great deal is being said both for and against the granting of a charter for the'building of a branch of the Great Northern into South Kootenay. The only-way to get at the facts and enable a correct estimate to be formed of the probable effect on the province is for the Dominion government to appoint a commission of reliable men to take evidence and.report on the subject. Drummer Famine in Canada. Trade returns show that Canada imports three times as much from Germany as she sends her. Iu the year 1900 her -imports from Germany amounted to $7,382,000. The chief-articles that came from the Teuton were cement, cottons, velvets, drugs, fancy articles, furs, glass, gloves, iron, white and, red lead and silks. Of the. $2,200,000 worth of <goods which" Canada sent to Germany-more than half represented the value of food stuffs/ Two- thirds of this, however, consisted of Indian corn from the United States, which passed. through Canada'in transit.- The United States commercial agent at Moncton believes that the articles that the Canadians purchase from Germany might just as well come from the United States. American commercial travelers are needed in Canada. The present time is favorable, as Canadian-merchants say that their goods-are-excluded from the German markets, and there -is a consequent reluctance to buy German Afraid of Conspirators.

The Brass Band Question, To the Editor of The Tribune.— We hear a* good*' deal of tlie Smelter Band and of its being in active existence, etc. If there is such an organization in an* efficient condition I must say it has missed many excellent opportunities lately of proving its claim to public consideration. For instance, at the funeral obsequies of her late majesty, the R. M. R. and Salvation Army bands voluntarily turned out and donated their efforts in making the affair a complete success. Again, on the departure of the last detachment pf recruits for Sbuth Africa, the B. M. R. band, although somewhat de pleted in numbers through some of its members having gallantly joined their patriotic brethren in South Africa, turned out and gave the boys a rousing send-off.

Savings Bank Branch OURRKNT RATK OF INTEREST PAID. ^^^^���py>������������^����������� A MONSTER LOCOMOTIVE. Tho New York Central Railroad has .just put into service six engines that are the largest passenger locomotives in the world. It is pre-' dieted that they will be able to make a record of 125 miles an hour. No. 2980 is to be put on the Empire State Express, one of the fastest trains in the world. The new engine is expected to soon outdo the famous old "999's" record of 94 miles an hour. It expected that '���2980," when it is fairly shaken down, will be able to make a record of never being behind time except in an actual snow blizzard. While her builders say they will be sat-s- fied with such a record, railroad men throughout the country are looking to the big engine to make a startling speed exhibition of anywhere from 105 to 125 miles an hour. "2980" has some remarkable proportions, which were given in a recent number of the Railroad Gazette. The engine proper is 30 1-2 feet long. Including pilot and tender, the total distance covered on the track by the locomotive is 50 feet. The two driving wheels are 79 inches high, 7 inches taller than a six-foot man. The roof of the cab rises 15 feet above the track. The firebox is so big that it looks more like that of a big stationary engine. The weight of the engine alone, without the tender, is 17(5,- ���>u000 pounds, or 88 tons. A peculiar feature of the engine is the placing of its ten wheels. Just behind the four mammoth drivers are two smaller traction, wheels under the cab. In ordinary running these carry most of the weight of the cab aud firebox. :-Biit when on an up grade, witli a heavy load to pull and the driving wheels are slipping, a new mechanism is used. By. the turn of. a lever in the cab 10,000 pounds' weight is shifted from the -traction wheels to the driving wheels. This makes the drivers grip the track with just so much added power. The practical demonstration of usefulness of this arrangement is .daily seen on the West Albany Hill. Any of the old engines hauling a six-car passenger train west of Albany had a helper up this grade. The new type, engine No. 2980 for example, puts on the traction increase!' and, unaided, makes time with six cars. Mr. A. M. Waite, superintendent of motive power, ��� was the one who designed this engine. He says that while it may make- a new world's record for: ^speedHt-wasmot^specially-designedr for that purpose. His aim was to] build an engine that could.make- schedule time under all conditions of weather, head winds, extreme cold and snow, and make up time for, delays. When . trains are scheduled up to sixty miles an hour, as in the case of some of the Central's express trainsj it is evident that an engine miist be'capable of running far above sixty to come up to the requirements under; all circumstances.

THE CUltKENT RATE OF INTUKKST ALLOWED. A Foolish Speech. Salt Lake Tribune. The speech of senator Morgau'bn his resolution to declare the Clayton-Bulwer' treaty abrogated was, in our judgment, iii execrable taste, for the reason that- enlightened nations have established certain rules for dealing with treaties, {and those rules have govorned so long that they operate as unwritten laws. The fact that the Clayton-Bulwer. treaty was negotiated shows that there was a time when our government acknowledged ithe claims of Great Britain in the country bordering on the Caribbean sea. If, .iii the judgment of -this country, no such claims any longer exist, then the decent way is to notify Great Britain that this country desires its . abrogation. To get up in the senate- and metaphorically twist the British lion's tail and to makp threats Of what wp will do jf.the ]}on dops not likp the twisting, ih a border ruffian proceeding altogether unworthy the senate of the United States. That spirit which loves to drive this nation into war and then ���.to denounce everything done because of the war is not one which this country should either follow" LEFT-HANDED CHILDREN. Professor P. W. Smedley, of the child study department of the Chicago public schools, has been making a scientific study of the action between right and left handedness and intellectuality in children. After many experiments he announces his conviction that right- handed children are the brightest. He has found that a large percentage of bad boys are ambidexterous. Pupils whose speech is affected and who find difficulty in articulation are most often left-handed. The explanation is this : The right hand is controlled from the left side ot the brain and the left hand from the right side of the brain. Speech is controlled by the right side of the brain. The over-development of one hand or the other is thought in this way to affect the speech. Professor Smedley is guarded in his statements, saying that it will take a long time to work out the problem of the connection between the hand and the brain. He does not believe that dexterity is directly connected with intelligence, but that it is noticeable through its effect upon speech. He admits there are many exceptions. Harry B. Couner, a twelve-year- old boy pupil of the Mount Albion school in Pittsburg, is a notable exception to professor Smedley's theories. More than that he presents a physiological study more perplexing than the mere relation ;of ambidexterity to intellectuality. Harry is a bright boy, an exceptionally apt pupil, notwithstanding that he is just now learning the use pf his right, hand in penmanship, and he is a good boy) too. So iu these two points he belies the deductions of the Chicago educator. The teachers iu Mount Albion school never saw the Connor boy's prototype. When he first came to school there was only one way he could write; that was upside down with his left hand. The brain cell that guides his left hand, it would seem, according to professor Smedley's reasoning, is reversed, so everything in that part of the boy's mind must be topsy-turvy. When he was four or five years of age he began to write. His parents were astonished that he formed all the characters upside down. He would begin writing from the right side of the paper andNwrite to the left,, using-the-left-hand^entirelyf^^^���r Patient efforts were made to direct his hand in the usual way, but to no purpose. He couldn't help writing upside down; any more than he could help using the left 'hand. He . learned tp form the: characters perfectly, and since he has been attending school he has acquired the vertical style of penmanship. His chirography is unusually legible. Harry's teacher says he is learning to use his right; hand nicely, though he cannot handle the pen with the same facility as in his own peculiar way. The boy not only,writes iipside down, but draws in the same way. A picture of a battleship which he drew shows some draughting talent. Instances where a child learns the alphabet backward before being able to master it frontward are not rare, and, indeed, there are cases on record ih the local schools where it was with difficulty that a particular scholar was taught not to spell hindend foremost, as it were. One little girl invariably spells saw so that it reads was, and vice versa. Harry Conner is the only boy on record that writes left handed and upside down at the same time. And the queerest part of it is that he doesn't know why he does it. Kid McCoy a Globe Trotter, NB\y York, M^fch 5.���Th$t vest- less soul of the pugilistiq arena, ".Kid" ]\JcCoy, will again shake the dust of Gotham from his feet. He has engaged passage on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, which sails for England next Tuesday. McCoy only just arrived from/ abroad, and was seen again on the Rial to last Monday for. .the''first time. It was said at the time that he had come Nelaon Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street. J. M. LAY, Manager. back to see if there was anything doing with Charles Mitchell. As usual, McCoy challenged all the famous heavy weights, and then subsided into obscurity. It is possible that his welcome home lacked the warmth that he had- expected, and he became ruffled' in consequence. It is even rumored that, like William Waldorf Astor, he may renounce his allegiance to a country that fails to appreciate him. Among his friends McCoy is now known as the "Globe Trotter."

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-03-12 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited 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. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
