C, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS I I- Etv' ENUMERATORS' HARD WORK FIFTY NAMES EACH THE AVERAGE AT START. Questions Which Cannot or Will Not Be Answered���How the Chinamen Obstructs Prowess. The enumerators started out on their work yesterday morning, and on comparing notes at night found that they had averaged fif ty names apiece. However, better results are expected in future. They will not work today, but on Saturday they will be at it again. There are some very amusing experiences. Invariably when a Chinaman answered the door, the officers were taken for book agents and informed that "missee no in." On trying to explain the situation to John "he no savee.". In one' instance the man with the census papers forced his way in, but failed to see the master or mistress of the house, who were doubtless informed that a tax collector or book agent was making a call. In another instance a family was located in whose case the enumerator had to seek advice as to how to define their nationality. The father is a Canadian who has taken out his first papers on the other side; the mother is a Dane by birth and of the childern two were born in the United States and one in Canada. As usual on the question of age there was some deli cacy. One lady of mature age approached on the subject, appeared very reluctant wer. the question. "You not be afraid," census man, "for was and ans- need suggested the I am sworn to secrecy." He thought [he was help- ing matters out, but he was not. . ->The very suggestion that there was any secrecy in the "matter c'adsed the lady to denounce him as insolent and to call him everything but a gentleman. She finally announced that he might put hei* down as 27. This was done, but there was aslight suspicion on the part- of the man making the entry that there was at least one misrepresentation'in that schedule. On tlie point of religion there was also some difficulty experienced. Many protested against associating themselves with any particular, sect and yet objected to being put down as atheists. A marked indifference on matters of religion was conspicuous. It was also found that many people are unable to give the date of their birth or the exact age of their children. In many cases the woman of the house declined to give information in the absence of her husband and when =pressed=tO-do=so=professed-to-be=un- able to answer the questions. Under such circumstances the enumerators will be obliged to call again. It would facilitate matters greatly if people would understand that the information asked for must be given to the best of their belief and knowledge and that as the name does not appear and the enumerators are sworn to secrecy there can be no purpose served by failing to answer the questions. Scientific Hypnotic Tests. E. Sutcliffe last night gave another private exhibition of his prowess as a hypnotist. As on the previous occasion the tests were given in the presence of some of Nelson's leading citizens, including two medical men. The seance was held in the dentistry parlors of Dr. Quinlan, who again last night extracted a bad'tooth from one of Mr. Sutcliffe's subjects, while the latter was in a hypnotic condition. The operation was painless. One of the other scientific tests of last i night was that of preventing, by suggestion, the cireulation<of blood. The subject was hypnotized, and at the suggestion that the blood was not coursing in his arm or hand Dr. Symonds made an ineis-ion in the flesh of the finger. Ib did not bleed, but when the operator suggested a flood of blood it came freely. Some very amusing things were done by the subjects, over whom Mr. Sutcliffe evidently possessed complete control.--His work is clean, swift and effective. The Washington Cabinet. Washington, April 4.���The president aud secretary Hay were in conference for almost an hour to day. Secretary Root was present a portion of the day.

Labouchere, the Only Signer of the Minority Report, Thinks Present List Sufficiently High. London, April 4.���The report of the committee appointed to consider changes in the civil list recommended that the new civil list be fixed at about ��470,000 as follows : Privy purse ��11,000; salary of household and retired allowances, ��125,000; expenses of household, ����193,000; works, ��10,000; royal bounty, alms and special service, ��13,000; and sundries, ��8,000. The report recommends an annuity of ��20,000 to the duke of Cornwall and York; ��10,- 000 to the duchess of Cornwall and York and ��00,000 to each of the king's daughters. The queen's annuity in the event of her surviving the king is increased to ��70,000, and an annuity of ��30,000 is provided for the duchess of Cornwall and York in the event of her surviving the duke. The proposals for the civil lists has a net increase of ��67,- 000. H. Labouchere, advanced Liberal, the sole signatory of the minority report, thinks that no increase is necessary. In a piquant paragraph he says: "The committee did not deem it within the scope of their inquiry to consider whether a continuance of the pomp of pride and ceremony of the court is desirable. Suggestions have been received that the cost of living has gone up among the wealthier 'classes since her late majesty ascended the throne. This idea,seems to be due to the present ostentatious expenditure of some of those who have suddenly- acquired. large - fortunes. But your committee does not believe the sovereign would desire to enter into monetary competition with such persons, or encourage by his example such vain-glorious prodigality on the part of his subjects."

TRIAL OF RICE MURDERERS TESTIMONY OF THE VALET MUST BE CORROBORATED. Sensational Incidents at the Examination Yesterday���Patrick Scores ��a Point. New York, April 4.���There were at least two incidents during today's cross-examination of Charles F. Jones, the valet-secretary of the late millionaire William Marsh Rice, which rose above the.-- ordinary. Possibly the one which stood , out from the proceedings most prominently _ was a remark made by justice Jerome, who presides at the hearing, and which probably shows why lawyer Patrick, accused with Jones of the murder of the Texan, has all along taken the accusations of Jones against himself with a demeanor almost bordering on contempt.' Patrick is a good lawyer and he possibly had in his mind from the .beginning what justice Jerome made public. , Attorney Moore for the defence had asked that when the hearing closed for the day it be not resumed until Tuesday. Justice Jerome seemed willing and then added: "It is necessary that Jones' testimony as to the murder should be corroborated. He being himself a confessed accomplice his testimony alone is not enough upon which to hold Patrick." Attorney Moore tersely added to this: "We understand that, and we suppose the district attorney does too." * . , Tonight those who are watching the case closely are wondering what corroborative testimony the state will introduce to sustain the state-. ments of Jones. "The other incident?brought out in the clearest light the indomitable nerve of lawyer Patrick. In the face of the reiterated story of Jones, that Patrick had instigated the forgeries and the actual murder, the latter took his place in the court proceedings with- as much nonchalance as he would if he had been suddenly called on to act as interpreter in, a police court "clothesline" ease. At one time it became necessary that a statement made by Jones be read and it was given into the hands of one of the counsels for the defense for that purpose. This was a statement in which the valet claimed Patrick killed Rice and which he has since denied. The reader hesitated and stumbled over the written words. Suddenly Patrick spoke up, exclaiming: "Here 11 guess I can make it; I'll read this!" This was done, and Pr ih"a-loud"Tclear~voic<r got a towel rated he read: and sponge and satu- the sponge with a colorless liquid he had in a bottle. Then he went into the room where R. lay in bed. I was not in the room, but peeped in. P. was standing over R. with the cone shaped towel in his hand and ho pressed it down over R.'s face." Patrick was still reading, with no show of emotion, when justice Jerome ordered a recess for luncheon. The P. and R. in the statement stand for Patrick, and Rice. At another point in the proceedings justice Jerome gave his estimate of Jones with characteristic terseness. Attorney Moore had been racking the o witness with questions, all tending to bring out the valet's lying propensities. He showed that Jones had lied to and deceived his own father when the latter called on him in the hospital after he had attempted suicide; that he had told untruths to attorney Osborne and that he had lied to his own counsel. Here justice Jerome struck in with the remark : " This witness is a weak, wicked and unfortunate man. He is a self-confessed murderer, and deserves contempt, but I won't allow you to insult him." There was very little new matter brought out at today's hearing. The whole of the cross-examination of Mr. Moore, who is Patrick's personal counsel, was confined to showing up Jones as a man who could not be believed. Whon court adjourned, it was until next Tuesday. Standing of Greece. BERLIN, April 4.���A dispatqh to the Frankfurter Zeitung from Con stantinople, dated April 3, says that the award of the ambassadors, who have been arbitrating the points of difference withheld from the treaty of 189S between Turkey and Greece was signed yesterday. The ambassadors took as a basis for their decisions on the points of difference^ with slight amendations, the statement of 200 pages drafted by the German ambassador. These decisions have not yet been made public, but are substantially to the effect that the ambassadors have created for Greece an intermediary regime, standing between that of those states whose citizens in Turkey enjoy the fullest advantages and those states whose citizens have no special privileges. Certain rights enjoyed by Greece before the war, as well as Greece's standing as the most favored nation, are abolished. Greece retains jurisdiction over her subjects in Turkey.

New York, April 4.���A special to the Herald from Washington says: Official denials greeted the published report that J. Pierpont Morgan, having discovered a gold mine on the Panama canal route, would head a syndicate to build the canal and had secured president McKinley's cooperation and the aid of Colombia. Denials came from the White House, 'the state department, the Colotnbia'n legation and the French embassy. Most of those who denied the report declared it was started to make difficult the negotiation of canal treaties by the United States. The big news development in the canal situation is that minister Silvella, who is also Colombian minister of foreign affairs, in his memorandum to secretary Hay has formally agreed on behalf of its government to grant the United States a long lease of the territory through which the canal passes. He states %_\ emphatically, however government will not ereignty. The lease is to these terms:. The that cede his sov- be granted on United States London, April 4.���The Echo says it understands that owing to certain unpleasant rumors lady Ten- nesee Cook, widow of sir Francis Cook, has applied to the home secretary to have the body of sir Francis Cook exhumed. Sir- Francis Cook died February 17. Friends of lady Cook say that false' stories < have been circulated by a person * not related to sir Francis, but who - was disappointed at not^ being remembered in the will. Lady Cook desires that the exact cause of her , husband's death, which was senile decay (he was 84 years old at the time of his death), shall be especi-' ally certified to, so that hereafter in the event of her death nothing. can be alleged against her. The re-, lations between lady Cook and' her - late husband's family are quite cordial. Lady Cook, who is living in Ken-' sington, London, made the follow-j ing statement to a representative- of the Associated Press tonight: "Since the death of my husband, . there has come to my knowledge a.' very thoroughly laid plan, concoct-C ed before his1 death, to blackmail' his reputation. It was to be put: into execution when he died. Sptne^ lytfi. parties to the conspiracy expected], ^ to secure large amounts of money':, dining his life.

"Had I not been a woman of world-wide reputation, I could have . afforded to let these calumnies die., My own health' also is extremely poor." Should I die now these lit s might go on forever. I have therefore resolved to refute them now. I purpose to go to the full limit of. an autopsy, if necessary, in order that the world may know how baseless these'stories are.

This is on the basis qf a 90 year lease. The United States guarantees that this share shall in no case be less than $250,000 annually. In case of the issuance of stock Colombia is to receive a share based upon that given it by the Panama Canal Company, amounting to one-thirteenth of the number of shares issued. Colombia is to receive annually $250,000 for the use of the railroad. Colombian mails, troops and effects belonging to the republic and immigrants to the country up to the number of 2000 must receive railway transportation free of charge. Colombian vessels are to be allowed . freely to use the canal. Finally Colombia binds herself to grant permission to the French canal company to negotiate with the United States for sale of its concession. The concession absolutely forbids the company "to cede or mortgage its rights under any consideration whatever to another nation or foreign government under penalty of forfeiture." Mr. Ford, the engineer-secretary of the Colombian legation made a statement regarding the Panama canal, laying particular stress upon the fact that the Panama canal is only affected by the Clayton-Bulwer treaty in so far as its neutrality is concerned, the United States being thus free to complete it without violating the terms of the treaty.

THE HUDSON'S BAY .STORES BAKER STRBE* NELSON ��to ffirttnme* The work of taking the census of Great Britain will commence on Saturday next, and will afford employment for 40,000 enumerators. The mayor, of Winnipeg has a campaign against the Bell Telephone Company's charges, and a movement is on foot favoring municipal control of the telephone service. The penalty for refusing to answer the interrogations of the enumerators is a fine of $40, and, as they have some twenty-five ques- tions to ask.thecostofrefusal.soon runs into money. The Vancouver World sees another cabinet crisis looming up in the refusal of the Dunsmuir government to turn over $1,000,000 to the charter mongers who are engineering the V. V.& E. deal. The mining companies of the Cceur d'Alenes have decided to decrease the lead output of their district in order to maintain prices. To this end it is said a lower grade of ore will be milled and considerable dead-work undertaken. The people of British Columbia should not be impatient over the provincial debt as it takes provinces a long time to learn not to spend more than their revenue. Quebec is a much older province than British Columbia, but Quebec is only novv beginning to live within its means. During the past three years no new taxation was imposed, but Quebec's public debt was decreased $225,131, the surplus for the year just closed being $30,612. The Miner of Nelson is not happy unless it is slandering the people of Nelson. Yesterday it published a column of rot concerning the disgraceful neglect shown by the city officials and of the' provincial government officials toward the members of a family on the waterfront, whose house had been quarantined on account of scarlet fever. The Miner made it appear that the city authorities had turned a deaf ear to the appeal of this family for provisions, and that'a similar request to the provincial authorities was treated in the same way. This slander of the Miner, like its other slanders, is utterly devoid of truth. W'len the cast-, was reported to Mayor Fletcher he forthwith issued an order on the local charity organization for provisions, which were immediately delivered to the quarantined family. The quarantined premises being outside the city Mayor Fletcher then directed the attention of* gold commissioner Turner to the case as one requiring government attention. The first relief was granted at 11 o'clock on the day upon which the request was made, and on the following day gold commissioner Turner gave the quarantine officer authority to supply such further relief from tiirie to time as the circumstances of the case require, upon the provincial government's account. At no time after the case was first reported did the family in question suffer for tho want of anything. Would the reader of the Miner's sensational yarn arrive at any such conclusion? After many years of temperance campaigning Hon. G. E. Foster has come around 'to the theory of government control of the liquor traffic. 'In addressing a big temperance gathering in Toronto on Sunday he took the ground that the monetary interest in the traffic was too great to hope for any prohibitive legislation from any government; but if this monetary interest could be dislodged through vesting the control of the traffic in the government, the road to prohibition would be easy. A new bachelor tax has been introduced in the Illinois senate. It provides that when any bachelor who has reached forty years of age applies for a marriage license, he shall pay $100 in addition to the ordinary fee.

The Nelson Miner is poking fun at John Houston for the course he took in relation to the Crow's Nest railroad charter business. But John Houston made a good fight, and, although he was in the wrong, his course was more commendable than the half-hearted policy of the Miner: There is one thing that can be said of John. When he takes sides on any question you don't have to guess where he stands. To Improve Canals.

FORTIFICATIONS OF CHINA How to Dispose of Them. Washington, April 4.���General Chaffee has cabled the war department from Pekin that the military commanders representing the foreign powet'3 there are now considering the question of disposing of the Chinese forts and establishing fortified posts with proper intervals along the route from Pekin to the sea. General Chaffee seeks instructions for his guidance in" the conference. . A rather difficult question is involved in this application hy general Chaffee. As to the treatment of Chinese fortifications no particular difficulty is involved when the state department has clearly set out its view that these should be destroyed, but simply dismantled. But as to the establishment of fortified points the state department is unwilling to commit the United States to what may be a permanent occupancy by a military force of Chinese territory. Meanwhile the war department is pushing its preparations for the complete evacuation of China by the American forces, save only the legation guards, and it is now stated that everything will be in readiness to embark general Chaffee's army at Taku for Manila on May 30. Later in the day, after the subject had been well considered, the instructions were cabled to general Chaffee. The text of these is withheld, but it is stated that they are drawn on the lines of the instructions sent to Mr. Conger at the time he accepted the joint agreement under which the negotiations of the ministers at Pekin were to be conducted. It so happened that the reservations which Mr. Conger was to make in that case was precisely the subjects which are now before the military commanders at Pekin, namely, the destruction of the .fortifications and the provision for an armed international post along the route from, Pekin to the sea. General-4 Chaffee, as , already indicated, favors the disarmament of the forts instead of their, destruction, but cannot participate iu the establishment of armed posts. He will, however, remain in the conference exerting his best efforts to ameliorate the conditions along the lines indicated. fl 'TRADE MARK to to Kruger Pessimistic. New. York, April 4.���According to the Tribune's London correspondent the news comes from Brussels that Mr. Kruger thinks that the occupation of Zoutshans- berg will, finally break down the Boer defense. Zoutshansberg is the Boer seat of government and contains supplies of stores and ammunition and it is understood to be in imminent danger as a result of lord Kitchener's northern campaign. But prisoners who have recently arrived at Pretoria are, however, said to have expressed the opinion that the war will last for three years longer. Rousseau Operated Upon. Paris, April 4.���M.

Paris, April 4.���An official of the foreign office informed a representative of the Associated Press that the report that a sensation was being created by the departure of the Russian warships from Toulon is quite artificial. It was never intended that the whole Bussian squadron should remain there during the franco-Italian festivities, and as it was recognized that the presence of a third party would tend to check the expansion of feeling, while at the same time it might invest the events at Toulon in the minds of others with an importance they do not possess, the czar wishes that the Russian navy should greet president Loubet at. Toulon and it will be represented by at least two warships which will stay there during the festivities, in which their officers will participate. A Russian personage in the city who was interviewed on the subject spoke in the same strain, explaining that had the Russian officers and warships been in too great numbers it might have diverted to themselves a part of the demonstrative friendliness which the Italians came to seek in France. He said that there had been lack of =diseretion-on=the=part=ofithe=Rus;;= sian consul at Toulon and declared that the Russian squadron had never intended to take part in the fetes. He admits that the departure of the Rus3sian warships was hastened in order to cut short the reports in certain Paris papers, which had been attributing undue significance to the arrival of the Russian squadron at the present juncture. Berlin, April 1.���The recall of the Russian fleet from Toulon is considered here to denote Russia's desire to not participate in the festivities in which, though she is the ally of France, she would have a less share of attention than Italy. How to Raise the Indemnity, Pekin, April 4.���The ministers are considering proposals,submitted by financial experts for the raising pf ,Jl sufficient sum for the payment of the Chinese indemnity. It is probable that some arrangements will.be arrived at on the basis of the scheme of sir Robert Hart, director of the imperial maritime customs, which provides for the handing of the salt and likin taxes over to the maritime customs administration and the levying of an annual house tax equal to one half a month's rent, which, it is calculated, will provide twenty million taels yearly, sufficient to pay five per cent interest on two hundred and fifty million taels and clear the whole of the principal in less than forty years. Two hundred and fifty million taels is equivalent, roughly estimated, to ��30,000,000, but, the total amount of the indemnity is likely to be much more. >Sorae of the powers are. greatly Robt.

It is thought that the increased cost of raising the money required in that way is likely to hamper tho commercial development of China and it .is therefore believed to be desirable to have the money raised internally in China. Kidnapers' Threats. : New York, April 4.���Three more threatening letters were received last night by the father of William McCormick, the 10-year-old boy of Highbridge,who since last Wednesday week has been missing from his home. The letters were of much the same tenor as those received heretofore, in which a person sigur ing himself "Kidnaper" . threatened to burn out the boy's eyes unless a ransom of $200 .was forthcoming. .The McCormick family declined to make public the contents of the letters and turned them over to the police. .The police hold to the belief that tlie boy was not kidnaped and that the letters containing threats to burn him are fabrications of an April fool joker. The offer of $1000 reward by Oscar Willgrout.a neighbor, is made on the condition ihat the boy was kidnaped. Mrs. Willgrout denied emphatically that the reward was offered. because her husband believed that their son was the intended victim of the kidnaper as has. been reported. The. two boys do not in any way resemble each other. Capital Rest $2,500,000 $1,725,000 H. S. HOWLAND President. D. R. WILKIE Genoral Manager. E. HAY Inspector.

New York, April 4.���Dr. Joseph S. Maria Bergia, ex-consul and acting minister to the United States from Equador, who has been here for some time, has started for home. Before leaving he said: "I have been in this country making arrangements for the shipment of. machinery for the better development of our gold fields; In a few months we shall have more than 300 dredges there working by electricity. Orders have also been placed: with the American Bridge Company for more than $2,000,000 worth of material to be used in the completion of the Guayaquil and Wito railroad, a very necessary adjunct to the successful working of the mines. We consider our gold fields, when fully operated, will prove the richest in the world." Good News for the Oastellane's. New York, April 4.���The appellate division of the Supreme Court handed down a decision today dissolving the injunction in the case of Anton J. Dittmar * against GeorgetTf Gould etalrftrustees under the will of Jay Gould. The case was before the court of appeal from an order of Justice Beach continuing an injunction ordered by Justice Fitzgerald, which limited the amount to be paid to the countess De Castellane to $200,000 a year. Pending the trial of the action under the decision of the appellate division the trustees may pay the countess her entire income. Continuance Asked For. New York, April 4.���At the Pat-, rick hearing today Mr. Moore, one of Patrick's attorneys, said that he would like to have the hearing ad? journed for tonight until next Tuesday. Justice Jerome said that if this were agreed to he thought there should be some understanding that the hearing be finished by the following Saturday "It is necessary" justice Jerome said, "that Jones' testimony as to this murder should be corroborated.. He being a self confessed accomplice, his testimony alone is not enough to hold Patrick." Humors Are Groundless. New York, April 4.���The latest reports about king Edward's health are reassuring, says the London correspondent of the Tribune. His throat has been examined by sir Felix Semon and the recent disturbing rumors have been pronounced to be groundless. Sir Felix is the German throat specialist who has been appointed physician to the king and has been naturalized as a British subject. The king's general health is good. He has not suffered from the pressure of public business. Recent rumors about a mysterious Botha's Letter to Kitchener. London, April 4.���The letter of general Botha, the. Boer commander-in-chief, to lord Kitchener, commanding the British forces in South Africa, preliminary to the recent peace meeting, casually referred to in general Kitchener's report of the negotiations and from which the opponents of colonial secretary Chamberlain hope to obtain some clew of the reason of the failure of the conference, was published as a parliamentary paper this morning. ��� The letter is dated at the commandant- general's camp, February 13, and commences with a. reference to "the verbal message from your excellency." Continuing the letter says: "I have the honor to inform your excellency that no one desires more than I to bring this bloody strife to an end. I would also very much like to meet your excellency for the purpose of mutual discussion to see if it is not. possible to discover terms under.which this can be done." The remainder of the letter of general Botha is of no importance. It merely suggests a place of meeting and arrangements for the guarantee of safe conduct. Affronts to Lord Carnngton. London, April 4.���Dispatches received here from Paris reiterate the stories of affronts to lord Car- rington and his suite while returning from Lisbor), after formally announcing king Edward's accession to king Charles of Portugal. It seems that the train on which the mission traveled conveyed a number of nurses returning from the Boer army. The result, says a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company -from Paris, was that at every station there were violent anti-British scenes. Lord Carring- ton and his suite were openly insulted, when the nurses were greeted with loud cheers. The situation became so intolerable that the British mission finally changed trains.

The work of grading Baker street near the railway depot proceeds. The tramway company are raising their rails to the new level. The work of clearing up Ward street ravine was continued yesterday. What has already been accomplished in this direction is a great improvement. Lieutenant-colonel Read held a social meeting in the Salvation Army barracks last night which was largely attended. The officer is an able and impressive speaker. '���A meeting of the Mine Owners' Association was held last evening in Nelson. There is secrecy as to whaTbcqurrgd but a variety of in- tereeting" tbpic3 are said to have been discussed. George, Jackson has severed his connection with P. Burns & Co. at Silverton. He will try tp,:rlocate a coal mine in the Crow's Nesc Pass or Alberta. Mr. Jackson is a son of the city weigh-master. The j-ity store-keepers have made special arrangements for the Easter in ti k��t aud display a choice collection in all departments. The butchers have received large consignments of turkeys, geene and fowl, while the grocers make a great show of fruits, eggs, and other seasonable goods.

Annual Meeting Opens Monday Next The Kootenay Teachers' Institute hold their annual meeting in Nelson on Monday and Tuesday next, when it is expected that several new members will be enrolled and that the old members will be present in full strength. The field of operation includes the whole of the Kootenays, and Easter Monday has been fixed for the annual gathering, being the most convenient season for teachers to get off. The Easter holidays wiil be on, and as there will be no work for- them from Friday to Wednesday next there will be ample opportunity of meeting in session and discussing subjects of interest to the profession. The various - transport companies give special rates to members of the institute, and as at thin season of the year good weather may reasonably be expected a large attendance is assured; It was the original intention to hold the convention at the public school, but it has been deemed advisable to alter the program in this particular and to meet in Fraternity Hall. The proceedings open at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, when the president will address the assemblage. After the address new meua ��� bers will be enrolled, and the election of officers takes place. Rev. P. Wright, D.D., will read'a paper on '���The Ethical Element of Education." A second session will open at 2 p m., which will be started with a solo by G. L. Lennox, to be followed by a paper by J. S. Brandon, ^B.A.^on^Methods^in^Geogjiaphy." Miss Kate Scanlan contributes a paper on "School Decorations," and J. D. McLean one on "History." There will also be a piano solo by Miss Rouse and a vocal solo by Mrs. J. E. Annable. On Tuesday morning business begins at 9 o'clock with a reading by J. B. Clements. Miss Escotte Wickham, B.A., will discuss ''Spelling for Intermediate Classes," a subject which is' likely to be productive of much instructive discussion. Mtas Edwards is down on the program for a solo. Resolutions .will be in order up to the time of adjournment for . lunch. The teachers will re-assemble, at 2 o'clock. This session will open with a piano solo by Mrs. J. H. Wallace. There are three papers expected, the first by R J. Clark, M..-A. on VOur Course in English," tfi'esecond by Miss Thom on "Methods in Arithmetic" and the third by M. L. Tompkins, his subject being '"Obstacles to Education in the Kootenays." Peter McTav- ish will give a recitation and Miss Jessie Lillie a vocal solo. In the evening at eight o'clock there will be an entertainment in honor of visiting teachers in Fraternity hall. :: The meeting is of interest not alone to the teachers themselves but to the general public, as any- Mining Eecords. The following mining transactions were recorded yesterday: Certificates of work to O. A. Lowell on the Cornish, Bee, Forest City, Squadron, Southern Bell and Hillside. There-was but one new location, the Minto, on Forty-nine creek, by W.-'M. John,son. The New Public Buildings. Work has not yet begun on the new postofficecustom house building, although considerable time has elapsed since the contract was let. A week or so ago contractor La Pointe, of this city, was asked'to figure on the excavation work. : He duly forwarded his estimate, but has heard nothing more on the subject. Architect Macdonald was yesterday informed by a friend from Vancouver that the building contractors were in that city, and might be expected in Nelson in the course of a fewrdays. No selection has been made of stone for foundation work, but it is expected that it will be taken from Roberts' quarry at Five-mile Point or from the granite deposit at the rear of the general hospital. As to the marble to be used, there is some competition between the owners of the Kaslo and Sandon quarries, from either - of which suitable material can he. had. The. local architect, however, rather favors the Salmo product, as he-says it runs 01 per cent lime as against 51k for the Kaslo. Births, Marriages and Deaths. H. Wright, registrar of births, marriages and deaths has forwarded his report for the quarter ending March 31 to the registrar-general. It appears that during the three months there were 38 births, -57 deaths and 30 marriages registered. As far as the deaths and marriages are concerned, there is no reason to doubt the accurracy of the figures, but there is more than suspicion that the birth rate does not show anything like the total that would appear were every new arrival duly recorded. It is believed that 30 per cent of the births are not reported at the registrar's office. The parents of a child failing to conply with the terms of the law in this particular, are liable, upon conviction to a fine of not less than $25, andnot exceeding,$100.^_ItJs required by law that the nurse in attendance shall report the birth of a child within ten days after the event. On the strength of this report the parents are served with a notice calling upon them to register the birth within sixty days, and failing to do so they are liable to the fine above named. Happy fathers will take notice. However, as the law stands the onus of prosecuting defaulters is placed upon the registrar. It should not be necessary to put an obliging official in the position of prosecutor. To loan on improved property. Stra:ght mortgage at 8 per cent. No monthly loan or no fines.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-04-05 |
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. |
