C, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS RAILROAD POLICY OUTLINED VICTORIA CITIZENS INTERVIEW THE GOVERNMENT. Company Obtaining Charter Must Build From the Mouth of Fraser River ���Work of Legislature, Victoria, March 21.���The premier and members of the executive council of British Columbia gave an influential deputation, headed by the mayor of Victoria, most satisfactory assurance this morning that the policy which they proposed to follow in connection with the construction of a railway from the coast to Kootenay would be not only in the interest of the " province but of the city of Victoria. The deputation alluded to was made up of the most representative business and professional men in the city and was appointed at a mass meeting which passed a resolution for a competitive line. In pressing for bonusing of an independent and competitive line from the coast to the interior of the province the mayor read a telegram which had been received tbis morning by E. V. Bodwell, who represents the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern in the matter: "New York, Marcli 21.���If you think advisable, you may announce that the Great Northern Railway . and Mackenzie & Mann are equally interested in the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern Railway. Company stock. "Jambs J. Hill. . "William Mackenzie." Remarks were made by his worship, supplemented by- short speeches��� from ex-mayor Redfern, Dr. Jones, aldermen Beckwith and Bryden. In reply ��� the premier pointed out that the policy-the'gov*. eminent proposed to adopt was that of making the best bargain possible for a ferry daily from the . mouth of Fraser river and .Vancouver island. The attorney-general went into the necessity for the extension of the island railway and of the " construction of an all Canadian route to the Yukon, thus insuring the trade of Klondike to Canadian cities rather than Seattle, which had been built at tbte expense of Canada. In reply from a suggestion by Mr. Helmcken, who accompanied the deputation, the attorney- general said that the government was considering a proposition to insert a clause iu the charter permitting the acquirement of the road after a term of years on certain terms by the province. Further, they would compel auy company which obtained a charter from thera to sign an agreement to the effect that if ai Dominion charter was obtained they would still be amenable to the railway law of the province. Alderman Yates expressed the = fear that the car ferry alluded! to by the attorney general might! be run from .Vancouver to Nanaimo and thence to Quatsimo.thus making the latter point a terminal one instead of Victoria. The premier replied that all his efforts as a citizen of this city would be employed to prevent such a contingency. ; Alderman Yates said that what "might be cheapest at this time might be dearest in the long run by exposing the country to a monop- ..._ oly. In reply to this the premier. ; said , that the Victoria, Vancouver and Eastern had furnished no- charts, maps or profiles of their proposed road, and all that they. had done to date was to say to the government, "Give us $4000 a mile and we will build- the road, pro-'' vided we also get a subsidy from the Dominion government." ; It - was, he said, the intention of the government to control rates and to derive a percentage of the earnings. He did not believe in What had been-done in the past, namely, give lands and subsidy: to these companies and not be allowed a say in their control. The attorney-general explained the position of the administration at some ' length, although he said that the government could not pin itself down to one road until it had heard from Ottawa, which had been asked to -deal with the province liberally in the matter of railway construction. Fear has been expressed that the policy of the government was an alterna; ��ive one,- namely, that it might. sanction a road from the coast or one from a point on the Canadian Pacific railway, say at Spence's Bridge or via the Shuswap and Okanagan railway. He might definitely say that any road which they subsidized must build from the mouth of the Fraser to the boundary, thus opening up that whole country. Further it would stipulate in the contract that the company must provide for a; ferry daily^from the mouth of the"Fraser TROOPS TO BE WITHDRAWN VON WALDERSEE WILL ARBITRATE TIEN TSIN DIFFOULTY. wrecked Wil- day, tii^^^jip^J^ing been abandoned.

Vancouver, March 21.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The young son of J. W. Lawrence of Hatzic fell among a pile of burning ferns yesterday and was so badly burned that he died last night. It is reported here this evening that a party of surveyors sent by Mackenzie & Mann and the Great Northern Railway has arrived at Hope after thoroughly inspecting the line of survey of the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern. They report the route as perfectly feasible. Chinese Robbers. Berlin, March 21.���The officer commanding the German troops in Pekin cables to the war: office here that owing to the complaints of the inhabitants a band of robbers has been dispersed by captain Periss, "with a squadron of cavalry, at a village 48 kilometers from Pao Ting Fu. Seven of the robbers were killed and wounded, the others were imprisoned and handed over to the Chinese court for trial. Major von Muhlman started for Pao Ting Fu with three companies of infantry, a squadron of cavalry and a train of mountain artillery for a place to the eastward of Tao Nakuan. He is proceeding against a large band of robbers. A Prophet Dies. -.'������������ London, March 21.���Ad viees from Unganda, Africa, dated Thursday, March 14, says that Muludzi, the Mohammedan who recently proclaimed himself a leader of a new religious doctrine in Uganda, died at Dengo that afternoon under extraordinary circumstances after a short reign as a prophet. The Sultan of Imbego, the head of the ' Mohammedans in Uganda, denounced the new doctrine and a native court declared Muludzi to be an impostor. Thereupon Muludzi indignantly declared he would no longer remain on earth. He left the native court and ascended a small eminence outside the king's enclosure where he knelt, called loudly on Mohammed and suddenly expired. " ' Bank of England Profits.

After providing for a dividend of 5 per cent the amount of "rest" was ��3,022,691. Lord Lansdowne Explains the Origin of the Trouble and the Agreement Reached. London, March 21.���In the house of lords today the foreign secretary, lord ��� Lansdowne, announced that Russia and Great Britain had agreed to"' withdraw their troop's from the disputed territory at Tien Tsin and reserve the' question of title and proprietary; rights for subsequent examination. Lord Lansdowne supplemented the announcement by explaining that the dispute concerned an extensive area on the left bank of the Pei Ho, which the sRussians had occupied in the autumn and claimed by right of conquest. Subsequently the government was informed - that China and Russia had reached an agreement placing -the- area' under Russian occupation. The area, however, comprised plots belonging to the-Northern Chinese railway and therefore was part of the- security of bondholders. - - The line was part of the_railroad recently transferred by the Russians to marshal, von Waldersee, who retransferred it to the British. The necessities of the allies required the construction of a siding on one of. the plots referred to, and the presence of British workers on the plot'was treated as a trespass on Russian territory. It was sub- ' sequently alleged that the Russian boundary, works had been removed by the British. "When these circumstances were reported the government on March 16 telegraphed to its ^representative in China that it tliought the'Vights of the'British or Russian - troops to occupy the disputed points could be best settled by field marshal von Waldersee, as the commander-in-chief, and General Gaselee, the British commander, was instructed to request the field marshal to settle the immediate difficulties, reserving for future examination the question of validity of the alleged private rights. General Gaselee was also instructed to refrain from using force except' to - repel aggression. On March" 20 the alleged removal of the Russian boundary pillar occurred, and the government instructed the British minister at Pekin, Sir Ernest Satow, that Great Britain was ready to refer the facts to field marshal von Waldersee On the understanding that if either side was found to have committed an irregularity it should apologize to third street, the police today became inclined to 'believe that May Comstock, the 17-year-old daughter of a wealthy retired merchant residing at Benton Harbor, Mich., who disappeared last evening, was kidnaped instead of committing suicide, which was at, first supposed. Miss Comstock -was studying music in this city. She left her boarding house as usual, and later her hat and cloak were found on the beach at Sixty-third street. Mr. Comstock insists, however, that his daughter had positively no reason for selfrdestruction, and the police today felt inclined to believe in the father's theory of kidnaping.

Equivalent tb an Agreement. London, March 21.���Lord Cranborne, the foreign under secretary, in the house of commons today assured Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett that the government considered the statement of the Russian foreign minister, count Lamsdorf, February 0 and February 17, as equivalent to an agreement in regard to Manchuria, northern, Russia and China. HE PULLED THE STRINGS HEARING OF LIBEL ACTIONS AGAINST LONDON PAPERS. Arthur Chamberlain Under Cross-Examination" Makes] Some Rather Damaging Admissions.. "the otheri The government added that the construction of the siding should be continued under whatever conditions the field marshal thought fit to impose. He (lord Lansdowne) was glad to say he" had heard the same from the British ambassador at St. Petersburg that the Russian foreign minister, count Lamsdorf, had proposed���that they should agree to reserve all questions of title and proprietary rights for the extension of the two governments and that in the meantime orders be forthwith sent for the withdrawal of the troops of both sides from the disputed plots. Great "Britain had already concurred and thought the withdrawals should be carried out to field marshal Von Waldersee's satisfaction. Lord Lansdowne1- added that count Lamsdorf had expressed a very moderate and statesmanlike desire to avoid any cause for friction between the two governments, and since the receipt of count Lamsdorf's proposal the government had ordered the military authorities to carry out the simultaneous withdrawal of the troops to the satisfaction of field marshal von Waldersee, so that there might be no room for a renewed misunderstanding in regard to the matter pf debate. His lordship expressed the hope that the result of the negotiations showed that what was only a very small matter of strictly local importance would not be allowed to disturb the relations between the two countries. Think She Was Kidnaped. Chicago, March 21.���After a thorough search with drag nets in lake Michigan at the foot of Sixty- London, March 21.'���In the hearing today of libel actions brought against the Star* and* the' Morning Leader by Arthur Chamberlain in connection with charges bearing on the war office contracts, in which the defendants plead that the articles printed were. not libelous and were a fair comment on matters of public interest, the . cross-examination of Mr. Chamberlain was continued. He declared he had formed the opinion that the main object of the articles was to villify his brother Joseph, in doing which they had villified the witness. To say, as the defendants averred, that the Kynochs were favored by the government, was untrue aud libelous. Arthur Chamberlain considered that it would be dishonorable for him to obtain favoritism from the government. ��� ���Counsel-for_the~defendants"pro^ duced letters purporting to have passed between the Kynochs and the Nobels by which the former had agreed to keep up the prices of the powder for which the latter had tendered to the British government. Arthur Chamberlain repudiated all knowledge of the letters. Subsequently, there had been an agreement in 1894 between the Kynochs, the Nobels and the Chilworths in regard to a fixed price - for cordite. Counsel read the evidence given by the' Nobels' manager before' the war. office contracts, to the effect that Arthur Chamberlain told him he had used his personal influence to secure the contracts... . In regard to the" cordite contract secured for Arklow in 1898, Mr. Chamberlain said he had not seen any Irish member, of parliament, but had got local pressure put on them by telling the workinjg people that the shops would close unless the contract was secured. Here the lord chief justice interrupted, "Youpulled thestrings?" On further cross-examination, Arthur Chamberlain admitted that the Kynochs had secured the government orders for cordite when their tenders were higher than others. The case was again adjourned; "Wheat King", of Kansas. The "wheat king" of Kansas is a woman. Miss Rose Packard of Rush connty has raised over 4000 bushels during the past year, and its quality has given her an extra price for a large portion of it. Miss Packard is still a young woman and has given her personal attention and supervision to the work of cultivating each of her great wheat fields. TERRIBLE DEED OF AN INSANE WOMAN. With Ax and Club She Slaughters the Little Ones and Then Attempts Her Own Life. Coldbrook, Massachusetts, March 21.���Mrs. Lizzie Naramore, while in a fit of insanity this evening, killed her family of six children at her home, a farm house, half a mile from this village, and then- tried to take her own life. The children ranged from 10 years to a babe of 10 months and their lives were taken by the mother with an ax and club. Then she laid the blood- drenched bodies on the' beds, two on one bed, and the* other four on a bed in another room'; This terrible sight met the'eyes of the husband and father, Frank Naramore, when he returned home some hours later. Mrs. Naramore then attempted to take her own life by cutting her throat with a razor, and when discovered she was on tlie bed on which the' bodies of four children were lying. Although she cut a deep gash in her throat and suffered the loss of much blood, it is believed she will recover. ��� Medical examiner Walcott of Barre was summoned and took charge of the bodies, while physicians attended to the wound of Mrs. Naramore. She was removed-to the village hospital, where an attempt is being made to save her life. At a late hour tonight the attending physicians were confident she would survive.. During the evening a number of. neighbors of the family saw and talked' with Mrs. Naramore and to them she was told.how she.killed*, her,, sjbc. childr Yen. - At the "time"the"party 61 villagers found Mrs. Naramore she' asked how she did the deed and she said that she took the lives in four different rooms and as fast as she killed one child the body, was placed on a bed. The children were three boys and three girls. Ethel, 10 years, .the oldest, while the ages of Walter, Charlie, Chester, Bessie and Lena ranged from 8 years to 10'months, Lena being the baby. Mrs. Naramore told her most intimate friends tonight that she first killed Ethel and then followed with the five others, each time taking the next eldest. Five were killed by being struck on the head with the back of an ax, while Lena was killed with a club. She says she fully expected the gash in her throat would cause her death and that when her husband returned at night he would find all of the bodies in__the_twO- beds. She appears rational this evening and displayed signs of sorrow for the deed she had committed, although she was unable to give any reason why she killed the children. When Mr. Naramore reached the house he was prostrated with grief in the loss of. his family. Each of the children had evidently received several blows, as their heads were terribly bruised and blood was scattered in all directions about the room. Mrs. Naramore had evidently made preparations for the deed as the doors were all locked and barricaded with sticks of wood.' -. . Australian Nswb Items. Victoria, March ,21.���Big bush fires have prevailed in Australia, according to news brought by the Miowera, the largest being at Myrrhe settlement, which was devastated, and not only were some twenty homesteads destroyed, but many lives are said to have been lost. The noise of the coming flames was said to have been like thunder, and the sky was darkened by clouds of smoke. There were many thrilling escapes, one woman and her son having been caught by the flames under a wagon on a bare road, and although the wagon and contents were destroyed, they wero un- burned. Reports are given of a sensation at Newcastle, caused by placing a living man in the morgue attached to the Newcastle hospital. He was brought to the hospital in a cab, and a doctor went out and, casually examining him, pronounced life extinct. He was then placed on a slab in the morgue and ar- Irish Members Again Troublesome. London, March 22.���In the house of commons during the discussion of the army estimates, the Irish members protested against the war in South Africa as unjust, and generally resorted to tactics for obstructing the adoption of the votes. Mr. Broderick, .the war secretary, appealed to them to allow the votes to be taken, promising that an opportunity would be given after Easter to discuss army matters. Finally Mr. Balfour applied the closure, the Irish members shouting, "Scandalous," "Gag" and similar ejaculations. The vote for army pay was adopted by 157 to 48, aud the house adjourned at 2:13 a. m. . Speculator Prosecuted. Paris, March 21.���The chamber of deputies has adopted the commission's report in favor of the prosecution of M.

OF No Presentment Made���Mine Owners' - -Association Want Funds to Send a Delegate to Ottawa. A the of l_, ^*i* - . 'W. ~7#p *-! see ,_ (... - ;- 'is?1 . rCi- meeting of the council board of trade was held last night, president Holt occupying the chair. There was a good attendance of members who debated spiritedly the subjects brought under notice. The first matter discussed was the new School Act, but so evenly was the council divided on the contentious clauses that it was decided to make no present'ment. From the point of view of those who hold that the city councils should be represented on the school boards it was argued that the corporations having to provide the funds for the maintenance of the schools should have a, voice in the disbursement of same. It was contended, contra, that school trustees and members of city ',J <��| councils were alike elected by the ratepayers at large, and consequently the public reposed as much confidence in the one as the other. The school board, it was pointed out, submitted a - detailed estimate of the costs of running the institution, and the city council made, provision" for same���except in the, case of extraordinary expenditures,, such as school' buildings, etc., in which case" the rate-payers would j; be.afforded ah opportunity of "ex- ' pressing an opinion in the form of a^T^-flf by-law. The city ^council was al- T~'?,^ lowed a per ' capita tax - of $15 on \'y^ the .average daily .attendance dur- :'-y- .ing the six months pi'eceding tho-,*-'>bS ;,datejbf. -.submitting estimate.^ This' -'being theVcase,-fit was' contended, there ought to be no difficulty in- striking a school rate to cover the ' estimate,-and no reason ^why, the city council should be represented - on the board of school trustees.- .Clause 7 of the new act was discussed at ' considerable length. This provided for a property quali- , fication of $500 over and above any registered incumbrance. Some of the members considered this a wise provision, as it was 'calculated to secure a better class of men as trustees than if the property- qualification were to be lowered or dispensed with. During the discussion it was shown that while this provision might work satisfactorily in some communities it would be unfair iu others, and that Nelson would come within the latter category. For instance, a. manmight-have -property��� assessed-^ at $1200, but might have his house mortgaged for $800, which would disqualify him. From this point of view the property qualification was not so favorably received. Having discussed very freely the pros and cons of the case, the council were so evenly divided that they decided to leave the matter in the hands of the board. A communication was read from the Mine Owners' Association re- u questing the board of trade tb con ��� tribute towards the expenses of sending a delegate to Ottawa to urge upon the government the importance of legislating in the interests of the mining industry of tho province and the bonusing of refineries. The council were unanimously disposed to comply with the request, but there areno funds ou hand. The secretary, Mr. Swau- nell, will start a subscription list this morning and hopes to be able to raise the necessary amount. The special committee appointed to consider the advisability of petitioning tho Dominion parliament to create a portfolio of mines, reported in favor of deferring action for tho present. The reasons assigned are that the creation of such au office , would necessitate departmental changes which might prove awk- Avard at the present time. The committee suggested that the matter be held over until the railway bills and other important subject3 now before the house be disposed of. Similar resolutions from other public bodies, it was added, had not accomplished the desired results. . The meeting was not open to the press, and the above synopsis of the proceedings was gleaned from the n secretary of the board.

Under the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company's present policy of, encouraging smelting in British Columbia, a price of $4.75 per ton is exacted for coke. It. would, ..be interesting to compare this price, with thatfcharged United States smelters by the same company. - - .��� i If'the Crow's Nest Pass coal i fields, after three years pf development, are barely able. to...meetu the present-^demands., of Tthe^'BritislT Columbia smelters,, hoWi^ean, the \ management bf the coal company i export 6000 tons per day and keep ?, up with the growing provincial demand? ==5*' After carefully studying . the ' railway question the Siniilkatneen Star agrees with, .the..Vancouver World, that the provincial government should pay $4000 per milei to _ i Mackenzie & Mann for building a railway which the Canadian Pacific railway offers to build without charge.

Railway Company has asked the members of the legislature to believe. . It is a plea advanced with the certain knowledge that the legislature will give a railway company .authority to construct its road,, and. then prohibit it from engaging in the busiuess for which the , road .was vbiult.

Northern capital stock of $25,000,000. is said- to have, something to do .with Mr. Hill's schemes. The.-trust is. said-to .have left one portion, of _ its ,far-reaching plans, rather carelessly guarded and it is through this-entrance that Mr. Hill is expected to slide in. It.. was a question of raw. material for. future use*. An official declares that Mr. Hill has lately, secured options - on an .immense track of mineral lands in northern. Minnesota. It is also said. in.; jthat ethereal world from which all these "straight tips" .cqrne that Mr. .Hill intends to build an immense smelter on tbe Iron Range, and ship his own pig iron east instead, of iron ore in bis,own boats. A pai^t.of the, scheme is said to* be the development of the' Crow's N^est Pass coal-mines, in which Mr. Hiil is deeply./interested... ..In the coal regions;Mr. Hill can make ; his own coke and. ship it to his own smelters oyer;his,own lines, thereby being independent of the eastern coal and coke supply. fqr. some years, lighted .with . Canadian natural gap, the importance of this step can be. realized. The natural gas beds of Essex county are among the finest assets of that most richly endowed district. In two towns, at least, Leamington and Kingsville, the industries are based upon and owe their prosperity to natural gas. These municipalities own their own plants, and let the gas to manufacturers and other classes of consumers. Many other towns and villages also use the gas. All the beds, however, appear to be l'elated, and a drain on one affects all. It is alleged that the American city of-, Detroit has consumed the gas at a rate which materially affects the prosperity of the towns on the Essex peninsula. The supply to the city of Detroit comes from the plant of the United Oil and Gas Company. The gas ; is conveyed across the Detroit river by a corporation known as the .Improvement and Construction Company.

Of the girlhood of Mrs. Nation (wrote the historian of the future) little that is authentic can is known. She is commonly believed to have been born in Podunki where as lately as the year 2730 a monument stood inscribed with her name, her virtues and her deeds. In that year it was destroyed by a great earthquake ���, that- overthrew the famous city, which was then the national capital. It is known that she was of humble origin and was brought up (her mother having . died in giving birth) "on the . bottle." The meaning of that phrase much in use among her contemporaries, is not accurately understood, for it is obvious that, unless the ardent spirits pf that day were materially different from those of our time they would not have served as the sole diet for infants. To the deleterious effects of "the bottle" on the child's ^health we can perhaps trace that passionate antagonism to strong drink which was the keynote to her character and career. When little Carrie was eleven years old, say about 1830, her father removed- to Wihitehita, or Whickity, a frontier town ih Kansas, or Vermont���authorities disagree. It was here that she began to hear the mysterious "voices" that moved her to take up arms against the "joints." These, it appears, were places in which strong jirink^wereniade by daring crimi- nals and-forced down the throats of persous who had been seized on the highways and carried into them. The evolution of the word "joint," as given by the learned and ingenious Potwin Dumbleshaw in his great work on the philogy of the ancients, is interesting. A man who had been carried into one of these places and made to swallow the noxious liquid there produced was singularly affected by it; he , was so limber as to be unable either to stand or sit���it was ns if he had joints all over him. Hence he was known as a "jointer." Now, in the ancient Americanese tongue "horser" was one,who, rode the now extinct animal called a "horse," a "schooner" was one who. sailed in a ship called a "schoon," and so forth,..the termination "er" implying always a certain relation to a place or thing. So, by an odd forward-and-back analogy, the word "joint," meaning originally a point of flexion in a limb, came to mean also, through its own derivative, a place where the "jointer" was joined. "I know not," says Professor Dumbleshaw, "a more curious instance of the perversion and shifting.of words from thing to thing." It is only fair to explain that Dr. Nubler, professor of extinct languages at the Seacaucus University, holds a different view, to the effect that Professor Dumbleshaw is an ass. Por many centuries there has been much controversy regarding the "voices" said' to have been heard by the young Carrie Slupsky (that was her maiden name), and many duels are said to have resulted from the conflicting opinions. The chief protagonists of Miss j^lupsky���the men most solemnly convinced of her veracity and good faith in affirming her guidance by the "voices"���are.Bastien Lapage, a famous author of the nineteenth century, and Mark Twain (or Duane), a painter of great renOwn. Both these worthies, each in his way, have put upon record their profound persuasion of the maiden's actual inspiration by audible voices in the air, and both were her contemporaries and compatriots. Not much of the work of either has come down to us���a few leaves from the book of Lanage, a fragment of a painting by Twain���or Duane. . An odd circumstance is that in one of the former, Mrs. Nation's birthplace and home of her girlhood is mentioned as "Domremy." The same name occurs in several fragments of European literature of even an earlier date, and these facts have given rise to much discussion, evolving more heat than light. Professor Clambuck, writing in the year 2641, explains this apparent discrepancy somewhat as follows: In the Pottawottomy dialect, which in the nineteenth century prevailed over the greater part of America among the illiterate "po" and "dom" meant the same thing���" a cow. . Now, "dunk" meant a place of refreshment, or entertainment, and "reray" is the old Algonquin word for salt. Having these meanings in minds, it is easy, says the learned professor, to see that the names "Podunk" and "Domremy" are virtually the same: they signify a place of refreshment for cows, a place where those animals go for salt���a "cow lick." It is not, generally speaking, within the province of the historian to utter dogmatic judgment in such matters, but this seems to be a :pretty flagrant: instance of ingenuity. I mention it only to show to what lengths the learned will sometimes go in ex; plaining what is obviously a grammatical error (like the "ablative absolute" in Latin) or a mere slip of the pen, as when it was said that Edwin Markham was born in Bethlehem. ;.-*; There can be no reasonable doubt that Mrs. 1 Nation was . born in Podunk, nor that the writer who first used the name Domremy did so in a moment of abstraction. As to the cows coming to Podunk to lick salt, the acute reader will hot sail to observe the similarity in sound between "lick" and "liquor," the ancient .Americanese word for strong drink���a significant circumstance, though it is not the business of history to inquire what it signifies. At about 13 years of age =Miss=Slupskysaid"that=the="voices'A directed her to go to a certain place where she would find a hatchet���a small axe, sometimes called a "sword"���suitable for smashing joints. She did so, and, finding the implement, tried its edge on a cherry tree. Asked by her.father if she knew who had felled the tree she replied: "I. cai^ not tell a lie, father, you know I cannot *tell a lie; I don't know a thing about it." The reception accorded to that statement is believed by Geezer ("The Ministry of Pain," iv., 327) to have had a stupendous effect upon the course of history. It gave the beautiful Maid of Podunk a distaste for a sedentary occupation and urged her forth to the tented field. Prom that day the demon Drink trembled in his frail glass armor, and when in 1904 the lady was caught and burned as a witch there was not in all Topeka (says the Future Historian, in conclusion) enough wine to christen a canal boat. Great Men Are Smokers. The king of England has never attempted to hide the fact that he enjoys his whiff. Once a certain well-known society lady, a violent anti-smoking nuisance, said to his majesty: "Sir, as the leading gentleman in England, do you not think that you ought not only to refrain from smoking yourself, but encourage others to give up smoking?" "Madam," frigidly and emphatically said the king, "many years ago I commenced smoking. I smoked ever since. I enjoy smoking. In all probability, madam, I shall keep on smoking as persistently as Charley'3 Aunt keeps on running." The duke of Connaught, on being . SAVIN03 BANK DEPARTMENT.

LAY, Manager. asked by an American beauty whether he approved of smoking answered: "Yes, indeed. There are" two things which I trust I will never lose���my honor and my tobacco pouch!" . ~' ' When the khedive 6f-Egypt visited England some months aigo he suffered, it will be remembered, from some throat ^trouble which kept him on his yacht for a few days. After a careful examination sir Douglas Powell, the great throat specialist, said: "I believe your highness does * not- smoke in any shape or form?" ?"You are right, sir. I do not smoke. Well indeed do 1 remember the first and only time I was ever persuaded to try a pipe. After the experiment I reclined in.a most undignified' manner in a certain room in my palace, making most unkindly gestures and grimaces. You English people are, I believe, great smokers, are you not? Ah! well, you in England never do anything iu a half-hearted manner." During some recent internal disturbances in Turkey.the sultan was very much worried. ��� One day he sorrowfully said to his leading physician: "Ah; how awful are my troubles, to be sure! Life would be quite intolerable if it were not for my cigarettes and my wives!" The duke of York is, as every one knows, a great cigarette smoker. He once said to the young 'czar of Russia: "A short time ago I had an idea that cigarettes were bad for me, so I determined to limit myself to five a day. The first day I was successful. - The second day I smoked all five before lunch and felt very miserable during the rest of the day. - The third day il smoked the. "five judiciously, but" still; felt a, great wanting. The fourth day I couldn't stand it any longer and so smoked 15 cigarettes to make up. for my self-denial during the other days." A short time ago the queen regent of Spain was telling her son, the young' king, how .very poor his country was becoming and what heed there would be of reform and economy in many respects. "Mother," said the young monarch, "I have quite made up my mind that we must all give up something for the sake of my ��� country���some luxury. I, for. my part, have determined to give up smoking."

There is somewhat of a falling; off in that mining' excitement which was characteristic of the Kootenays not long ago. Various reasons are assigned, but the fall in the price of silver and the smelter difficulties are no doubt at the bottom of it. Several properties have been closed down of late, and others that used to be worked vigorously are now kept going with a small staff of men.. The agitation for a refinery is growing at a wonderful rate, and once this point is satisfactorily settled there will no doubt be a renewal of that activity which demonstrated the great mineral' re- sourcesofthecountry. The tendency to exaggerate the richness of properties put on the market is on the wane. The truth is quite good enough,* and when misrepresentation is made, at this stage-of the country's development; it is not .productive of good results. The prospectus of a local company���at least a local property���is now in circulation, all communications concerning which are to be addressed to a firm of brokers in New York. In the document alluded to there are reasons assigned that the stock of this company will make handsome profits, among these being that the property is located in one of the best mining districts in the world (the Nelson mining division), and in support of this assertion it is set forth that the Le Roi (Rossland) stock was placed on the market at two and a half cents and is =today^selling=air$40=per share;=that= the War Eagle, another Rossland property, is paying 12 per cent oh a capital of $10,000,000; that the Center Star was sold for $2,000,000 before a pound of ore was shipped, and other such startling statements. It is further set forth that the company . has no indebtedness whatever, that it has an actual working mine, with machinery bought and paid for, on the ground. Those who know the property say that it might turn out all right but they do not know of tons of ore being taken put or of any reasonable machinery on .the ground to .take it out.

" ,-v. ��� i '"; To Be Built in Nelson. 7A congregational meeting of .Sb. Paul's Presbyterian church was held last evening to consider a proposal to secure certain lots on Carbonate street and thereon erect a more commodious edifice than that in which divine service is at present held. vFor some time past the seating capacity of Sfc. Paul's has been overtaxed and it was a debatable point as to whether the present structure should be enlarged or a new church erected. At a recent meeting of the members it was suggested Jto purchase five lots in the locality named and build. This suggestion was approved last night and preliminary arrangements made for raising the necessary funds. Ifc was- also decided to ask the sanction of the Presbytery to sell the present church and ��� grounds���this cou rse being necessary as the property is jit present in "the hands of trustees. It transpired that the two- lots adjoining the church belong to the Ladies' Aid, but that in drawing out the deeds they were included in the general. church ho'.dings. The ladies seemed to think that these lots''should be treated somewhat distinct from the rest and that when sold the proceeds should go to their fund. They were informed that before any sale could be made it would be necessary to secure the consent Of the Presbytery, after which their claim, would be considered. No time will be} lost in perfecting arrangements and starting the new building. . Professor Payne's Entertainment." '���The demonstration of hypnotism and phrenology given by professor Payne at* the opera house proves that he is a skilled exponent of these arte," says the Nanaimo Free Pre3s.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-03-22 |
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. |
