Tbe author has gone to Asia Minor and Persia to study local color. Tbo Episcopal Bishop of British Oolumbia is now in England. At a breakfast given in Cambridge, he spoke of bis work and described his house ns follows: A simple wooden shanty without windows or roof, and the first thing he and his wife had to do, was to nail strips of calico across tho roof to keep out the moonlight.—Ex. Who is he t One of the Australian courts is called upon to deoide a novel and difficult question. A Roman Catholic merchant left in his will a bequest of $7,000 to be used to deliver his soul from purgatory. The executor demands legal proof -from the local priests that the conditions of the will have been complied with before he will pay ovor the money. Samoa, which is attracting so muoh attention now, is generally regarded asa savage island, but a large proportion of tbe people are Christians. A missionary says: "I would guarantee to take the first twenty men, women and children that I should meet with in Samoa, and I would back them in Bible knowledge against any twenty I should meet in this country." A good story is going the rounds of the British press about Mr. Glad stone. Invited to subscribe to a certain charity, he replied on the usual postal card thut inuumerable applications of the kind were received by him, and that ho had to confine his donations to local needs. The post-card was duly put up to uuction, fetching two guineas, and the G. O. M. appeared on tho list of subscribers as a donor to that amount. A piece of fat pork succeeded in starting a remarkable series of accidents in u Crawfortlsville (Ind.) household. It bad been placed in a pan in the oven of a stove, caught firo and blazed out into the room. A boy helped the situation by throwing on water, when the hot grease was scattered over him, burning him severely, He bolted out of the door and fell over his little brother, knocking the latter senseless, and- at the same time the father, hastening to the burned child's assistsnee, fell down stairs and was rendered unconscious. The lire meanwhile wont out. The following is going the rounds of the press: A neat story is told of a Roman Oatholio priest in Victoria, whose sermons are usually of a practical kind. On entering the pulpit on Sunday he took with him a walnut to illustrate the character of the various Christian churches. He told the people the shell was tasteless and valueless—that was the Wesleyan Ohurch. The skin wus nauseous, disagreeable and worthless—that was the Presbyterian Ohurch. He then said he would show them .the Holy Roman Apostolic Ohurch, He cracked the nut for the kernel and—found it rotten I Then his reverence coughed violently and pronounced the benediction. An interesting calculation, solving the question of how many minutes have passed at tho end of 1888 since the beginning of the Christian era, has been published in an article which appears in a recent issue of the "Neueste Nachrichten" (Mun- ohen) The result will be a surprise to a good many, for not one milliard have elapsed, The writer gives us tho figures of his calculation, and figures are acknowledged to be stubborn things. He states that 1888 multiplied by 365 days equals 689,- 120 days, to which must be added 460 leap days, making a total of 689,580 days, which contain 16,- 549,920 hours, or 992,995,200 minutes, that is, 7,004,800 minutes less than a milliard, The full milliard of minutes will not bo reached until 10:40 a.m. on April 68, 1902. St. Paul, who took but small account of tho charms of women, declared, "If a woman huvo long hair it is-a glory to her." The same sentiment bas descended through the centuries, if we except the late interval when a French fashion of bobbing heads held sway for u few months. It is noticeable thnt of the majority of women fow have abundant heads of hair, nnd quality gives way to quantity; tho finer the hair, the less there is apt to be of it. It is also a matter of comment that tho abundant tresses that crown the heads of many girls, become conspicuously scant as they approach their thirtieth year. The cause of this deterioration oan bo traced, in many cases, to the rage for blonde hair. That not blonde by nature becomes blonde by art; and sapped of its vitality by injurious washes, soon deadens and falls out. But another oause of this early loss of hair is without doubt the failure to give it proper care, and as the vigor of youth departs, tho growth of tho hair perceptibly weakens. Hair should be well brushed, but never combed, says an authority, and the fine toothed comb ia an abomination, —Em. The remains of Major Short were removed on Saturday morning. The military cortege was the most impos' ing ever seen in the city of Quebeo. PARNELL COMMISSION Hr. O'Brien Telle of the Good Work Performed by the Land League in Ireland. The Fete in Honor of the Comte De Paris' Silver Wedding: is Abandoned. The Princess Beatrice is Safely Delivered of a Son To-day. Hr. Yates' Gable. O B1UEN8 KVIIlBNCE. London, May 21,— William O'Brien teahficd to-day before the Parnell cummiuioii. The fact that his testimony was expected to-day drew large crowds to the court room, and the witness was listened to with great attention. Owing to O'Briens weak condition, the result of long imprisonment, he was allowed to remain seated. ln «low weak voice, whioh it was difficult to hear beyond the counsel's table, the witness gave a detailed account of agrarian outrages perpetrated in county Tipperary prior to the formation of National League in that distriot. The league, said the witness, after established, prevented wholesale famine and fearful war in Ireland in 1870. The witness declared no murder had been committed in Tipperary since the league formed a branch there. BOTH VESSELS SINK. London, May 21.-—The steamers Beresford, bound for Hartlepool, and German Emperor, for London, collided in the channel this morning. Both vessels sank almost immediately. It ia believed over 30 persons were drowned. Nine of the survivors landed at Dover. LATER. Reports of the collision in the channel between the sirs. Beresford and Gentian Emperor were exaggerated by the survivors, who landed at Dover. Only the German Emperor sank. The' Beresford was lost sight of and it was thought that she went down too, but she succeeded in keeping afloat and made for Gravuseid, where she arrived in a damaged condition. She has on board 22 of her own crew and twelve of the crew of the German Emperor. Both vessels were bound out, the Beresford from Hartlepool and the German Emperor from London. , ANOTHER FHINCE. London, May 21,—The Princess Beatrice hus been safely delivered of a son. TUB HERMAN STRIKES Berlin, May 21 —It is thought the great strike in Westphalia is virtually over. Labor in this oity continues restless. The reason for this is that the . latent demands were refuied. Three thousand men left work to-day, completely suspending building operations. The strike on tramways has been averted, but employees are dissatisfied. EASILY SATISFIED. Paris, May 21.— M. Lockray fought a duel this morning with M. Berg, editor of the Lyons Republican. The weapons selected were sabres, M. Lockrny received a slash on the arm, when his honor was declared satisfied. A ROYAL VISIT. Berlin, May 21.—King Humbert, the Prince of Naples and Premier Crispi arrived here to-day. They were met at the station by the Emperor William, attended by a retinue of princes and generals and Prince Bis* marck. The visitors were cordially welcomed by the emperor, who era- braced King Humbert and the Grown Prince. Troops were lined to the castle mid numerous arches were erected under which the procession passed. Every building on tho route waa profusely decorated with German and Italian emblems mingled. The streets were crowded with people, who displayed great enthusiam at the sight of the two Monarchs sitting side by side. MR. YATES1 0A6LE. London, Mny 21.—There is not the slightest foundation for the widely circulated report that Ireland is to bu visited this year by either the queen or Prinoeof Wales. Her majesty g es to Balmoral for the autumn on leaving her palace, and the Prince of Wales, who goes it is asserted to Hamburg from Carlsbad, will remain on the continent till toward the end of October. Everything was ordered tn be in readiness for the queen's arrival at Bulmoral on Saturday last, snd the interior of the castlo having just undergone its annual renovation, the whole place ii in spick and span order, while all walks in grounds and private drives in the royal forests have been brought into a trim condition. The dato of her majesty's arrival at Balmoral depends entirely upon tho health of the Princess Beatrice, but she is not expected until the ond <>f next week. The queen's spring sojourn will bo much shorter than usual, as it is settled she leaves there for Windsor on Friday, June 21st. The .queen hss lost one of her oldest and most devoted servants in Miss Hildynrd. Sho went as govorness to tho Princess Royal and tho Piinco ofWaloswhon they wore quite little children, and remained iu the queen's servico nearly twenty years. After leaving the queen Miss Hildyard lived iu the quaint little house in Regents park. The royal family were all much attached to her, and frequently visited her. Miss Loftus, the maid of honor, is daughter of Capt. and Lady Kalherine Loftus, and niece of Ladv Ely. Miss Loftus is a pretty and bright girl, and went down to Windsor before she was appointed to be inspected by the royal family, ond being approved of, was gazetted. AT BUCKINUIIAM. The most noticeable jc-wels at Buckingham palace Inst Tuesday wero the fine and huge sapphires on the Duchess of Edinburgh burden of gems. By the way of contrast the most noticeable man was the blind grand duke, who stood for two wholo hours up* right and serene amid a brilliance which be could only Imagine. THE EMPRESS EUGENIE. Those who met the Empress of the French in the course of her daily walks At Malvern laat week, in which she was always accompnnied by Naioine Bourbakf, wen surprised to pee how muoh of her old beauty she still retains. Accompanied by a suite of six she arrived quite unexpectedly at the Foley Arms. Her visit to Worcester shire is likely to be repeated as her health was greatly benefitted by the fine air of the hills during her stay. Lady Henry Somerset welcomed her to EiiBtn-ir castlo, and although she was unable to carry out her intention of going over to see Lady Emily Foley at Stoke F-dith park, she found timo to spend un entire day at Birmingham and to take numerous drives iq the neighborhood. Nothing pleased ber more than the entire absence of mobbing, and the respectful sympathy shown to her by all those whom she happened to meet COUNTERMANDED. Thu silver wedding fetes of the Comte and Comtesse DeParis, at the Scar and Garter, which were to have brought all the world to Richmond at the end of the month, have been suddenly countermanded although the Due de Chartres arrived thero on Wednesday. The Frenoh government seems to have made it clearly understood that t he projected gathering would be regarded in the light of an anti-republican demonstration, and thst the penalty of exile might very possibly be visited on all those participating nrrt. Under these circumstances and especially with a view to the approaching elections, it was deemed prudent to abandon the idea. The celebration will therefore be of a purely domestic oharaoter. IS IT AN OMEN. j The house in Portland place now occupied by General Boulanger was tenanted last yesr by Mr. Darcy, tbe Australian millionare, who owns the Morgan mine, but its florid furniture evidently belongs to the epoch of its original owner, Colonol Ellis, who won fame as a financial broker and was suddenly transferred into a folly fledged colonel and Persian consul general. By a strange coincidence the great bust of Napoleon immediately faces the door of the general's study and figures of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette adorn tbe mantel; and in the drawing room the first things which meet the eye are ' the features of Napoleon 3rd and Empress. Eugenie. The general's Frenoh visitors insist on regarding the. relics in the light of a favorable omen. FRENCH TRAGEDY, London, May 20.—The encounter between M, M, Rochefort and Pilotel, on Regent street, last evening, is the sensation of the hour. Both gentle* men have been beseiged by interviewers to-day and their statements concerning tho affair are widely at variance with one another. M. Rochefort gave the following version of., it: "I was walking along Regent street about 7 o'olock last night, when suddenly I saw Pilotel walking toward me. He stopped in front of me and struck a pugilistic attitude at the same time threatening to 'punch' my head. Pilotel continued his threatening language, and, merely for the purpose Of frightening him, I drew a re* volver and pointed it at time. The pistol was in a. leather esse, tightly clasped, so that I oould not possibly have fired it had I wished to do so. When Pilotel saw tho harmless weapon, he dropped his hands and ran away tallowing 'murder.' In spite of the serious view token "f the affair by the police and bystanders, tbey could not control their laughter at the fellow's cowardice any more than tbey oould conceal their contempt for his conduct" The version given by M, Pilotel denies in almost every particular the statement of M. Rochefort. He insists that the pistol wss not only without a cover, but that it was cooked. - M, f ilotel indignantly denies that he ran away, and striotly speaking he didn't, for he had scarcely turned his back upon his antagonist and started to run when he was seized by the police. The belief is general that the migis- trate before whom the two will be brought tn-morrow will treat hoth prisoners, and especially Rochefort, with all tbe severity warranted by the circumstances, Daiald 'Traths." Liat Saturday William Fraser, better known as "Scotty," met with an accident while at work clearing off ground for the smelting oompany. He, with others, was engaged in felling a tree. In falling, the tree struck -another and kioked baok, the butt end striking Mr. Fraser, knocking him senseless. He was placed under tha euro of Drc Orton and Campbell, who say thnt he will be around in a few days. The people of the Oolumbia valley, assisted by all the Indians on Tobacco plains, intend to celebrate her most gracious majesty's seventieth birthday in royal style, Horse races, athletic (■ports, spoeohes, etc., will be some of tho -itirncttoni- to say nothing of the natural beauty of the placo at whioh the celebration will be held. Captain Armstrong will run his splendid steamer Duchess for the convenience of those from this section who wish to mako the trip. The boat will leave Golden at 13 o'olock Thursday, the 23rd, and return on Sunday; fare for the round trip $5. Tho government has put the trail to Porcupine creek in first olass order, Mr. Cameron finishing up the job Thursday. He reports considerable snow out there, but that is fast disappearing. A few men are on the ground, and more will follow Monday, Holland & Co. will start a boarding house, intending to charge miners the reasonable rate of a dollar a day for board, The Discovery, the Elsie, and the Donald Gold Mining Companies will all be at work by June 1st, The latter oompany has both shallow and deep ground, and its stockholders will either have much money or all be dead broke in the fall. The Presbyterian Synod concluded its session at Winnipeg Friday night after adopting a strong resolution on the Jesuits' question. Rev. Dr. Stafford, of Toronto, lectured to a large audience on the disallowance question the same night.

St. Albans, Vt, May 21.—Hon. Guy C. Noble, one of the meet prominent lawyers in Vermont, died suddenly at his homo in St Albans this morning. HENRY VILLARD EXPLAINS New Yoek, May 20.-H.ntJ Villard, speaking lut night of the contest between Elijah Smith and himself for the control of tho Oregon Transcontinental, said: "It is absolutely untrue that I was an instrument in bringing about the present oornor of the stock. We have done nothing beyond buying atock, paying for it, and holding on to it I presume the other side hu done the same. The corner waa simply due lo the foolishness of tho shorts in selling more slock than there is. I am very anxious to put an end to the distn**. :;t; state of thing. at the atook exchi n-*.c. I am thinking somewhat of propa'ing to the other side that each shall contribute 10,000 shares of our holdings for the relief ot the market, under proper conditions and restrictions. I hold nearly 200,- 000 share, and hold proxies for 5,000 more. The other side do not think so, but I propose having a committee of three prominent neutral bankers to prove our holdings from the stock ledger of the Oregon Transcontinental Company."

Many of our citizens will go oyer to tho capital city tu witness the celebration. Lew Taxes. The real esttto tax by-law, introduced last night at the city council meeting by Aid. Curtis, nnd which was carried through its final reading, lays before the people the exact rate at which they are to bo taxed this yonr. Under tho provisions of the by-law tho total rato levied is 15 25 mills on tlie dollar. Thi* includes tho rates for the Southern Railway bonus uud tlie streets, und park improvement loan. In the event of the latter by-law failing to receive thu assent of tho electors the total rate would bo 13 mills on the dollar, a trilling reduction. If paid beforo J uly 1st, a rebate of 25 por cent, will be allowed ou till city taxes, but not on debenture rates. Last year tho rate levied was 13.1 mills on the dollar, so that even if the loan by-law is carried the taxes will be exceedingly low Police Happening. Joseph Hines, a man of commanding and somewhat aged appearand., and a completo stranger to the court,. graced the police dock thia morning, beiug charged with assaulting James, Pirie, the night-watchman uf the Royal City mills, while in the discharge of hiB, duty. Hines wob drunk and abusive, und on being ordored ott' thu mill premises resented tho order by assaulting Pine. The case being it. grave cue, and Hines having no money to pay a fino, the magistrate was about to sentence him "to a term in gaol when he broke down and wept copiously, the thought of going to prison being more than he could bear. So great was the prisoner's grief that even constable Smith was forced to disguise' his feelings by clearing hia. throat in such an energetic manner as to make the roof shake; Mr: Pine was also- almost overcome, and on the solicitation of the magistrate withdrew the charge and Hiui-s walked forth a free man. The next case was that of John Duuahoe, an old offender, who was arraigned on the charge of being; drunk and incapable, which he freely admitted. Dunahoe is a Sanctimonious* looking individual, but is hy no means- the good man that he looks. He admitted to having been released from the proyincial gaol only 8 days agov and claimed chief Pearce went out ai his way to get him into trouble uguia. He was taken with a severe pain yes- ]| torday afternoon, and thinking some brandy and Jamaica ginger would produce a soothing effect, indulged in it freely. Donuhon found that his theory was correct, the pain vanished and the- blood danced through hiB veins in a most exhiliarating nnd exciting man*. ner. A few Cunnemaru war whoopt*- advised the general public of his complete recovery, but his offer to whip seven Italian fishermen and Dutch. Bill's bear, asking only a salmon roc as. remuneration, convinced the police that he would be safer in thu look-up. Dunahoo wus dismissed ou his promising, in his own words, to "jump the* country within two hours" and not return for 20 yeara. He declared himself to be fond of drink, but apart from that vice he was the most honeafc man in British Columbia. PERSONAL. ' ThoB.

The service for the reception of candidal oa for the ministry who have completed the term of their probation was taken up. ThiH year thero was only one candidate, A. N. Miller, of Port Simpson.

Mr, Miller was introduced and related his religious experience and call to tbo ministry. Rev, C. Lidner wan callod upon to move the reception into full connection with the conference. Rev. A. E.

Green, then moved a preamble and resolutions, condemnatory of the incorporation of the society of Jesuits in Canada; of the "Jesuits Estates Act," passed by the Quebec legislature recently; of the action of that body in recognizing tho usurpation of the right of the Popo to interfere in Canadian internal and civil affairs; of the federal government, for not advising tho governor-general, on the grounds of publio policy, to disallow the obnoxious bill; with a clause commending the Toronto Mail, the Montreal Witness, and the thirteen members of parliament who voted for disallowance, for their attitude on the question; on the ground that, ns the preamble states, the "Society of Jesus" is an alieu sacred and politico-religious body, the existence of whioh is totally at variance with the institutions of a free state, Rev. Messrs. Starr and Crosby warmly endorsed the resolution, and condemned the movo to establish a Roman Catholic hierarchy in Canada. Mr. Crosby said he wob ashamed of the attitude taken by the presa of British Columbia on this question, on the plea tiiat it was a provincial one, and ahould bo left to the people of Quebeo to settle. Mr. John Jeasop, a layman, opposed the introduction of a resolution of this clus. He wu an Orangeman, but thought it a matter appertaining purely to the province of Quecec, Mr. J. E. McMillan supported the resolution warmly, as did others of the clergy and laymen of the conference. The resolution was put, and carried by a large majority.
