EASY MONEY
FOR PROMOTERS
Some Startling Statements In
the Prospectus of Maple
Leaf Go.
Montrealers Asked to  Put
Money In Richest Mines
on Earth.
The prospectus of the Maple Leaf
Gold Mining and Development company hns made its appearance in the
Montreal Dally Star, aud ia probably
the most entertaining production of
its Kind that has been given to thu
public .since tho days of the lever ish
wild-catting which preceded tho
break of the Rossland boom. From
the prospectus it would appear that
the Maple Leaf mineral olnim, situate
on the eut bank of Forty-Nine crock,
and Wflich was loi-ated by Andy
Roevosbeok in the spring of 1804, is,
with the exception of some thirteen
other properties which the company
owns, the richest mine in the province
of llritish Columbia.
The prospectus starts out with tbe
inference that by investing in Maple
Loaf stock there is an opportunity for
securing gold dollars for pennies, and
from this, with tbo assistnnca of
crutches In tho shape of the Le Roi
mine's pnyroll, nnd the Ymir mine's
dividends, the prospectus ambles on
to say that thero is $3,000,000 worth of
gold ore in light io tbe Maple Leaf
mineral claim; and that the other
thirteen properties of tho company are
just as valuable. Just think of it.
Three million dollars of gold ore, exposed within rive miles of Nolson, has
been passed over unheeded yoat after
year by sucti experienced prospectors
as Mike Keeloy and Mickey Monag-
han, as well as by the provincial
mineralogist.
Tho one thought which will Impress
itself upon tho careful reader i* the
advantage nf residence in Montreal, if
ono is inclined to invest in mining.
Hero is thu Maple Leaf company,
owning fourteen properties, the ore in
tight upon which aggregates in value
112,000,oiw, which is capitalized for
the modest sum of $ 1,000,00ft and
offered to the public at fifty coots on
the dollar. Someone assuredly is to
get rich quickly, that is if tuny do
not find themselves gold-bricked.
(trout and promising as the othor
thirteen claims ownod by the company aro said to be. with their ft'.*,-
000,000 worth of ore, tbey nte treated
with scant courtesy and permitted to
masquerade through tho prospectus
without even the empty honor of a
name. It iB tho Maplo Leaf alono
that.is deemed worthy of individual
mention. Concerning it some further
particulars aro furnished. Thero have
beon sone "official" assays made
finrn ore samples taken from tbe
Maple Leaf, and they are reported to
hnve varied from *M to $20MO per
ton.   This should be rich enough.
Tho directors of tbe Maple Leaf
Uold Mining and Development company are given as: Hon. James D,
llyrnos, of Sao Mateo, California;
Monsignoro Henry Eumolen.Okanagan
Mission, representing the holdings of
the Diocese of New Westminster; J
Frank McQuaid, who is described as a
"practical" mining expert of Nelson,
E. 0.; D. M. Caflhin, Han Francisco;
and Hon. Patrick Egan, New York.
Another noteworthy feature of the
prespectui is that Monsignore Henry
Eumcleo, wbo figures on tho board as
vice president, considers it incumbent
upon him to give his fellow directors
a certificate of character to Hon. Patrick Egan. This he docs in most unqualified terms. There ore also other
loiters purporting to come from
Bishop Durien, of the diocese of New
Westminster, nnd priests of the
Catholic church in different parts,
assuring intending investors that they
may accept the statements appearing
in tho prospectus of tho company, but
whether these u«suinncos apply to the
ndveristoinonts appearing In tho Montreal Star is not quite clear. One of
two things is clear. Either tbo peoplo
Of llritihh Columbia arc on the eve of
a groat discovery, respecting undroamt
of mineral wonlth, or tho peoplo who
buy the allures of the Maple Loaf Gold
Mining nnd Development company
will Hnd that tbey,nave been guld-
Jbrlekod.
Father Fenand of Nelson has very
pronounced views upon the Maple
Leaf flotation,. Be characterised the
whole thiog as shameful, and spo iking to a reporter of The Daily New s
said; "We have written to the Montreal Star about tho matter, as it is
very wrong that the names of priests
who are dead should be used to advertise such a thing. Some years ago, I
know, bishop Durien was approached
regarding tbe scheme, and was told
that the promoters wishing to help on
a cause which he had an much at
heart, tba cstibHshiog of a mission
school for Indian boys, would give
him some shares for tbat purpose. He
knowing nothing of such matters
accepted the shares with delight believing in the promoters tiuthfulness,
and that the'mine'was all that waa
claimed of it. Now since bis death,
his name is being dragged into  it in
most unwarranted manner, and
those of other priests tvtioso names
were secured to (tie list in a similar
manner."
Fatbor Ferland feels the matter very
deeply and is doing all io his power
to nave it brought to the attention of
the priests concerned so that it may
bo explained as fully as possible.,
CONTRACTOR'S TROUBLES
UUICK   WORE   IN  THE FEDERAL
BUILDING MAY   HAVE   TO
BE TAKEN DOWN.
Work on the federal government's
public buildings in this city baa
beeu stoDpod again, and the prospect
is that it w!U be a week or ten days
before another start Is mado.
The trouble tbis time is between
the contractors and the public woiks
department, over the class of pressed
brick to be used in the building.
The specifications call for a red
pressed brick,but in April last tbe contractors started putting repressed
granite bricks in tbe wall, Histoid of
tho red bricks as called for. Their
excuse for so doing was tbat no red
pressed brick, np to tho standard required by tho department could bo
found this side of Ontario, and tho
cost of transporttioo pot them ont of
consideration.
When tbe contractors commence I
tbe laying of the granite brick they
wore advised by James A, Mcdooa Id,
the federal government's clerk of the
work, that they were not complying
with tho speci Beat ions, but Contractor
LoMolno said he know what he was
doing, and would take his chances of
squaring matters with the department.
Mr, Macdonald at onoe wired tbe department of tbe departure thut had
been mnde from the syecilieattors and
asked for instructions. No response
was received to this communication
until Wednesday evening, when word
came that the terms of tbe specifica
t'ons must bo lived up to. lo tbo
interval the laying of tho granite
brick had proceeded, and when the
word was received that tbey would
not bo accepted fully one half of the
brick wero in the wall.
When advised of the nature of tbo
message from Ottawa contractor Le
Motrin shut down the work at once,
and started over tho Crow's Nest for
Ottawa. Be still hopes of being able
to satisfy, the department with tho
substituted brick, but docs not feel
inclined to take any additional risk
by laying any more brick. Should the
Ottawa authortieB insist upon red
brick the contractors will be out at
least fl,A0O. This would be made up
of |S00 which represents the value of
tho labor and mortar in the wall, and
the rest made up the loss they will
suffer in disposing of tbe granite
brick.
So far as tho relative merits of the
two classes of brick go it is said to be
merely a matter of choice. The red.
pressed brick would present a striking
contract to tho local marble, of which
the first story of tho structure is built,
but tor the granite brick it is claimed
that it would harmonize well.
LONG STRIKE
IN PROSPECT
Coal Miners Decide to Fight
The Issue Out With The
Operators.
Feared That  Trouble Will
Spread To Other Eastern
Industries.
Ilazelton, May 15,—Tho anthracite
mine workers in convention late this
afternoon decided to continue tho
striko of the 150,000 men against the
mine owners, and to fight it cut to
the end. Tbe mattor of calling out
the engineers, firemen and pump runners will bo decided by the delegates
tomorrow. The vote to continue tbe
suspension was as follows total vote
cast 811, for Ptriko 461, against strike
350.   Majority for strike 111.
Tbe fct<>p take by the minors after
practically considering tho matter for
two months, has wiped out the uncertainty of the situation and it is
freely predicted that the most serious
labor struggle in the history of the
country ia about to begin. That is
the view taken hy nearly every
miner. While tbe loaders aro cautious
and will not forecast their actions it
is not unlikely that the miners fight
will be carried into the bituminous
coal regions and into other flelds of
indli try. Mine workers for eighteen
months have boon looking forward to
tho strike tbat is now upon them.
They have saved their money and are
considered to bo in better stinpo
today for a fight than tbey were In
tbo great strike r.f 1900, tbat struggle
ended in the mine owners giving the
men a ten per cent, advance after a
six weeks suspension.
The operators are on record at
bei.-g unalterably opposed to grant
ing the men any concessions and they
bave positively informed the mine
workers leaders of thnt fact. Work'
men fear that tho present fight may
mean the destruction of their organi
/ntion because they believe that the
mine owners arc bent more on wrecking their union than they are in op
position to the demands for higher
wages and shorter workdays.
President Mitchell's advice to the
miners was peace and he gavo It to
them in the plainest and moat forceful of lanugagu. He was ably ns.
sisted by President Fahey and Secretary Hartley of tho lower district,
and Secretary Dempsey of the upper
territory. President Nichols of the
first district was tbe great champion
of the sfiko advocates. Mr. Mitchell
who was the last to speak was lis-
tened to with the greatest attention,
It was said thut a telegram was rend
from the American federation of labor
against a permanent suspension. But
the delegates would not listen nnd
amid considerable suppressed excitement, the voto was taken.

UNNECESSARY ASSURANCES
Ottawa,   May   15.—[Speoial   to Thu
Word was received from Ottawa yesterday tbat a verdict for tbe plaintiff
had been rendered in tho appeal of
Briggs vs. Nowswander before thi,
supreme court of Canada,
On June IStb, 1000, the plaintiff,
Briggs, wns tbo owner of tne Two
Kids nnd Monarch mineral claims ou
tbe south fork of Kaslo creok, nnd at
thnt time the defendants, known as
tbe Flentot syndicate, staked tho same
ground as the Cork and Dublin, and
applied for a crown grant. Briggs had
tbe prior location and he won about to
enter adverse proceedings when tho
defendants entered into a written contract with him of purchase, agroelng
to give bim $M)0 in cash and to promote a company to tnue over his
claims and give him a reasonable
amount of tbe shares. The contract
was drawn up b tbe solicitors of the
Flentot syndicate which Briggs objected to, and be tnen wrote out another contract. Roth documents wore
executed at tho same time and delivered as one. Tbe defendants then re-
friso to incorporate a company, and
allowed Rrlggs' claims to lapse
crown grunting the ground under tbe
location of tbe Cork nnd Dublin.
Briggs Drought action claiming
fraud and asked to have tbe court set
aside to him in lieu of the shares tbat
ho was supposed to get a certain un
divided interest io the property, Tho
action went to trial before Mr, Justice
Irving in this city on February ltitb
11001, when judgment was given dis-
I missing the action, tho judge stating
' that he "did not tbink that defendants
behaved properly, out tbe agreement
wns so drawn that it could not be
ascertained bow much the plaintiff
should recover, and as bis agreement
was indefinite tbe court could not give
offect to it." The plaintiff then appealed to tbe full court at Vancouver
the appeal being heard during tho
Juno sitting of 1001, and on July
8th, tbo full court gavo a verdict dismissing tbo plaintiff's appeal with
costs.
From tbis judgment the plaintiff
appealed to the supreme court of
Canada, claiming that the contract
was emorceablo and that tho court)
should bave stated what interest he
was rightfully entitled to in view of
tho trend of tne contract of tbe
defendants.
Yesterday tbe following 'nlegram
was received: "Briggs appeal unanimously allowed with costs of all
couits. Plaintiff given one-quarter
interest in both claims, and an
account, witii all costs and moneys
to bo a charge upon defendant's interests in lho property until paid."
Tbo counsel in the cane were S. S.
Taylor for the plaintiff and E. P.
Davis and C. W. McAnn for tho
defendants.

The damage done to St. Vincent by
tbe volcanic eruptions is now known
to be considerably greater than waa at
Srst estimated. Tho present unonsi'
nosa of tbe iobabitans of tho islands
is increased by tho continuous agita
tions of the volcanic craters. Friday

ASK FOR ONTARIO'S HELP
City Engineer McGullooh bad a narrow escape last evening from being
sw« pt through tbe canyon on Cottonwood creek to certain death. As it
was be went over tho dam, and waa
severely liaised and shaken up, tbe
full extent of his Injuries not being
known aB yet. Alter tho boom broke,
bringing down on the dam an immense weight of logs and general
debris, the engineer with a small force
of men went out on tbe dam to try
and break tbe j»m which had lorrncd
at iBe ertgo, nnd so relieve tbe f.train.
Thore was a heavy ovcrflov* and tbe
workers hnd to get ahng on the driftwood. In the darknesa Mr. McCulloch
slipped and went down between the
logs, to bo drawn over the crown of
tho dam the next moment by the swift
current. The first fall was about
fifteen feet, and tbe engincor brought
up on the timber and rock of tbe
apron, forunately grasping a projecting stick which prevented him from
being swept into the rushing tnael
strom below tbo narrow ledge oi
which he hnd fallen.
Aftor tho creek passes this ledge it
sweeps in uncontrollable fury to th
edge of tlio canyon a hundred feet
beyond, where it takes a leap of sixty
lect, and ibo rnpida and fill succeed
each other till the level of the bottom
near tbe railway yards is reached
Mr. McCulluoh retained sufficient
strength to creep out, being close to
the edge, and was taken home. His
escape was a remarkable one.
In tho darkness the men nbove
could not sco what had happened and
so were unable to render any assistance In somo manner the report
reached the railway yards that Ye hnd
been swept through the canyon and
several men wero quickly on the spot
searching for the body along the
banks, which they fortunately wore
unable to find.

id that erroneous reports wore appearing in, tho up-country papers tu
the effect that the opposition wero
prolonging the session to that
1'remier Dunsmuir could not go'to
London. He said he would, in a few
words, announce his position. The
opposition policy was not ono of obstruction. They had no desire to prevent the province being suitably rep*
resonted at London, or to obstruct
proper legislation. If the government
would restore the reserve on tbo foreshores and go to the country immediately on tbe railway p illcy, tbe opposition were willing to permit enpply
to be voted and necossury legislator) to
be passed, Tbis would also permit of
North Victoria being represented, and
tie felt sure would gratify thu country
at large. If the government wonld
give those two guarantees, tbo opposition would readily assist in the
passage of supplies und tbe legislation necessary.
There war loud applause at this
declaration of tbe opposition principles, but tbe government gave no
answer.

particular line of business, or erect
their 6wn lines and bocome tbe competitors of private enterprise. In
eiihev ease tliere would of necessity be
a large initial outlay, but after this
the cost of extend it g tbe system could
be met out of the earnings provided
tbe rates were not cut too fine. We
have, la a measure, tho experience of
cheap postage toguide tw. There was
a time when it cost a shilling or more
to send a letter a comparatively short
distance. When tbo rate was reduced it
was with fear and misgiving, but the
result cleared all that nway. When
the penny postage was inaugurated
the timid again had douh'.s, but again
the result justified tbe reform. The
post oflice business increased to an
enormous extent.
With cheaper telegraphs, this means
of communication will be more generally used and the less the rate, the
greater will be the number of telegrams Bent, nud by reason of this io-
crane the margin of profit, out of
which to construct a reserve fund,will
grow. If the^federal government can
be induced to take up this subject aud
secure possession of existing lines and
operate them at a mimimum charge
thero would be no need for questions
involving a cjmplaint against prohibitive rates. With the telegraph
system under government control the
tariffs ouuld be so reduced as to throw
them open to general use of thousands
who now only use tbis means of communication ut rnte intervals. The
results that would follow would be to
the undoubted advantage, iu every
nay, both from a social and^commer-
cial point of view, of all concerned,
It is tbe duty ol a government to perfect the control and operational all
publio utilities, and tbo only way to
perfect the telegraphs is for tne (statu
to own them.
WESTERN DEVELOPMENT
Tbe Iminigratnn statistics for the
first three months of tbis year show
that tbe tide of homeeeekers in tbe
w«st is on tho flow and thut Canada,
and especially that part cf it to
which tbe bulk of the settlers are
mailing tbeir way, will io a very
abort time add very materially to the
amount of farm produce, grain, and
cattle Canada puts upon the market,
During the month of April no fewer
than 7,343 settlers entered Canada
from the (J.S, and the "old country,"
making a total of 10,009 this yoar,
And still the tide flown on. Some of
it is reaching tho Pacific co»t and a
part—but a very small part is coming
to this province. Tho Iuland Ssntinel
has called attention recently to tbe
advisability of reaching out for a
more liberal share of tbitt western im
migration and is of opinion that by
the adoption of tbe proper Byatem of
irrigation works much of the objection raised against the dry belt, be'
cause of an alleged shortage of water
for irrigation purpose?,would bo overcome and tbe settlement ot those
lands encouraged.
That audi would be the natural
sequence no one can gainBay. The
offect of bringing into use and undor
cultivation the large arena of arid
lands of tbo interior would be of more
than local import only. Hy tbe increased production of farm and dairy
produce for which Kootouny is the
natural market these supplies would
be cheaper in the mining camps and
thus what would result in good to
the dry lands In tho valleys of the
Thompson and upper Fraser rivers
and their branches, wonld also tc-
dound to the welfare of this section
of tlie country. The interests of many
districts are very closely interwoven
and the best intorests of ono are often
best served by assisting in all tbat
tends to promote the welfare of another. Thero are in the valleys lu the
Kootonay district many areas that
would benefit by a system of irrigation and we would be doubly repaid
tor any assistance and support given
to the scheme of a well planned Bye
tern, as the Sentinel suggests. Our
contemporary Is doing good work by
endeavoring to arouse interest in a
subject tbat is of paramount impcrt-
anco to a very extensive portion ot
tbe province.
Money spent hy the government in
putting an efficient plan ot irrigation
into operation would do more for the
actual development of llritish Columbia thnn by throwing it broadcast
without proper safeguards into the
capacious maw of the railway promoter. There ate more ways than one
to develop tl... reeources of the prov
iuce and while tho necessity for rail
way construction is undisputed the
benefits that accrue from tho cultivation of the soil aro so material that by
rendering a larger urea available for
cultivation tbe very foundation for the
npbuilding of n prosperous people is
laid.        ___^___

The Story of
the Black Deg*
By C. K. BURROW,
The following mysterious story la taken
from C. W, Burrow's now book, "Patricia
of the Hills." The narrator Is an
elderly lady, Mrs. Charterla, who relates
the Incident as an example of Irish folktale, but who more than half believes It:
MY grandfather, Patrick Gavan,
of Fermoy, was a quiet man
to look at—slight, neither tall
nor short, with a face that
was always pale, dead pale, and eyes
that never flinched from man or devil.
But, though he looked quiet, he was
as wild a roysterlng fellow as ever
stepped on two feet, ready to do the
llrst thing that came into his head,
good or bad; It was his misfortune that
the bad came tbe easiest. He 'had a
way with .him that made him welcome
wherever he went, and many a man,
and many a woman, too, rued the day
that Patrick Gavan's -black eyes first
crossed theirs. Well, he married at last,
and took his bride to the bouse on the
banks of the Bfackwater. She was a
lovely, sweet creature, gentle and timid, as you may sec from her portrait
there; they were as badly matched as
tiger and fawn, and she soon began to
droop. He was not unkind to her; my
grandfather never Ill-used a woman;
but after a time he took to his old
ways, and she just sat down and
watched and wondered where It would
end. He was a terribly hard drinker,
but his bead was so strong that he
himself seldom got drunk, and one of
his delights was to get together a
doxen of his wildest neighbors at a*
great dinner, and see them go under
the tabic one WH^me. When this kind
of thing wns going on, his wife would
sit In her own room and listen and
tremble; once she had tried to get In,
but the door was locked, which frightened her more than If she had seen the
poor fools soaking their brains within.
She crept back to her little oratory and
spent the night on her knees, praying
for herself, husband and the child that
was to call him father.
When the child was born, and for a
month after, my grandfather was quiet
aB a Iamb; that was the happiest time
of tho woman's life, for he would carry the boy up and down, and up and
down, never tiring, while she watched
him from the bed she was too weak to
leave. She thought to herself that her
prayers were answered, and that Patrick was n changed man; and he saw
what was in her mind nnd kept a tight
hold on himself; but after a time the
devil got him by the throat again, and
he must needs be at the old tricks.
The fancy that took him was to have
one of bis dinners, and he arranged It
mil without letting a word reach his
wife; but, In case she should hear, he
Invited Father Coghlan, the priest who
had christened the boy, with the rest.
When the night came the poor sick
lady was lying up in her room, and he
went to her before the guests arrived
—I dare say feeling remorseful at
heart—and sat down with the boy on
his knees.
"Is It cold?" she asked.
"Yes, and with snow on the ground,"
said he.
"I'm sorry tor that."
"Why, mo chroidho?"
"Nothing," she Bald, and stretched a
thin hand to him across the bed. He
took It In his and kissed It "It's a
cold llttlo hand," he said.
"As cold as a snowflake," said she,
and smiled softly, and asked for the
boy. He laid him on her breast, the
child that was to be my father, and
she closed her eyes and seemed to sleep.
Then he went down to receive the mad
guests.
After the eating was over and the
wine carried In (those wero the claret-
drinking days, you must remember),
my grand lather locked the door, as
usual, and clapped a brace of loaded
pistols on the table. "The man who
stirs from this room," said he, "beforo
the last bottle's empty, knows what to
expect."
Everyone there, except Father Coghlan, was used to this business of the
pistols. The priest looked from them to
the locked door and back at Gavan
with a queer light In his eyes, but he
said nothing—only rubbed his chin and
drew his under Up back over his tenth.
Well, the drinking began, and went
on hour after hour. My grandfather
sat pale nnd upright at the-head of his
table, while the air grew hotter antf
the fumes of the liquor recked stronger
and stronger; the table was nil
splashed and dabbled with wine, men's'
beards were wet with It; some of them
fell forward with spread arms and
slept; others slipped to the ground and
'lay there like logs.
I know this Is hot a pretty story for
a woman to tell, but It's true, and I
can sec It all. God help the men, I
say, who did such things!
There Patrick Gavan sat, and his
own glass was never empty; neither
was the priest's, but when he rat see?
It it was only to moisten his lips. All
the time he watched my grandfather,
and ever his face grew harder, antf
gray with a kind of bitter sadness. At
last Gavan saw that he was not drinking, and rose.
"Father Coghlan," he said, "drink."
"A host does not command his
guests," said the priest.
"I command mine," cried the other.
"I shnll not drink, nnd I bid you open
lowed him. The dog's coat was dry,
and his feet were dry, and he made no
marks upon the polished floor.
The creature ran around and sniffed!
at the drunken sleepers, turned aside
from the priest, and then paused before
Gavan, with his eyes shining like coals,
and his tongue lolling out at the side
of his mouth. It was no dog of my
grandfather's, nor had he ever seen It
before.
"Go to hell!" he cried, and flred full
at Its head. The lock snapped, and
there "the dog still stood, wntohing, with
his wicked eyes fixed on Gavan, and
his red tongue quivering. Just then
they both heard a cry, clear and shrill
as the call of a peewit; the dog lifted
his 'black head, and in a second had
Jumped through the open window without a sound.
There was no need for the priest to
speak again; In a flash my grandfather
had the door open, and they both ran
upstairs to the wife's room. She was
lying dead, with the child asleep on
her breast, and on her hand, as plain
as letters in a book, was a red mark In
the shape of a dog's tongue.
You might have supposed that this
would change my grandfather's life.
Well, It did, for Borne years. He looked
after the boy, taught him to ride as
soon as he could walk, gave him alt the
freedom that was good for him, and
perhaps more, and saw him grow up
Into a fine healthy lad who could hold
his own In any exercise of skill or endurance, and had a sound brain as
well. But I think it must be the hardest thing In the world for a man who
has once led the kind of life my grandfather was used to to leave It altogether behind him. When the boy no longer needed his personal protection, and
the occupation of teaching him had
passed to other hands, he began to cast
back to the old ways; and If these had
been bad In the young man they were
ten times worse In the old. Yet he had
a curious delicacy In everything that
affected my father, gave him good
counsel from the deeps of his own experience, and concealed from him the
unsound plnces In his own life. But
the lad heard stories and kept his eyes
open, and knew many things which
his father would have given his heart's
blood to conceal. The boy, however,
had a clean, upright soul, and his
mother's strain to the good; and so
escaped* the Are.
One day my grandfather rode back
with his horse all a-foam from a place
some twenty miles away, where he had
been on no good errand. Times and
customs had changed for the better,
and there were no young men to All up
the place of the dead who had been his
fellows In his wicked carousals. But
there were still Ave or six left, and
these he had bidden to a dinner; my
father, he thought, was away, but during the day he had returned, and, hearing what was afloat, had made up his
mind to slip into the butler's little
room, which opened out of the dining-
room, when the servants were dismissed.
When Patrick Gavan reached home
It was already evening; he had ridden
hard and tar, and was In no condition
to enter upon the night's work, but
thnt fact made hlin the muru determined to see It through. He dressed
hurriedly, and by tho time the guests
were to arrive he was ready. But the
hour struck and passed, and no guests
came; and then, turning to the calendar, he found that he had made a mistake In the date, and that that day's
preparations should have been made
for the morrow. However, he sat down
to table, where all the covers were laid,
and had every course served, and the
wine brought In; and when the time
came, he sent tho servants away,
locked the door, and laid the pistols
beside him.
It was winter again, and the night'
was still and cold. The house was as
quiet as an empty room, so that the
sound of the Blackwater running at
the foot of the garden could be heard
where my grandfather sat. He shivered, and threw more logs on the Are,
which already blazed like a furnace;
then he began to drink.
The hours slipped by until It was
past midnight, at which time Gavan
rose and addressed each empty place
In turn, as though his friends were •
there, asking them to drink with him;
but there were only six places laid, and
he called twelve names, and the last
that he called was Father Coghlan's.
"Father Coghlan," he cried, "drink!'"
He stood with his glass raised, and
his gaze fixed at the level of a man's
eyes, his pale face set In a grim smile.
He saw the priest before him as plainly as I see you, and he must have
heard him spenk as well, for after a
time he said:
"I hear nothing.   Drink!"
And then, on a sudden, there came
a scratching at the door. The glass
slanted In his hand and some wine
splashed upon the table; but he stead-
led himself with an oath, drank, and
sat down; still looking toward the place
where the priest had sat. Presently
the scratching ceased, but a moment
later It sounded from beneath the window. At that, Gavan's Jaw dropped,
and a sweat broke out upon his white
face, but he did not stir. The scratching went on, low at first, and then
louder and fiercer, until It seemed like
a voice calling to him to open; after a
time It drew him to his feet and a few
pnees toward the window, and ns It Increased It drew him farther, until
at last his hand was on the bar of the
shutter; and he threw the shutter back
and opened the window, and a black
dog leapt Into the room. His coat was
wet, as though ho had swum the river,
and his head was wet, but he made no
His eyes wero
blazing, and his tongue was lolling out
snld the !of bis mouth; but there wns no sound
In God's |of breathing nor any sign of moisture
about the Jaws.
My grandfather walked back to the
table, took up a pistol, and sat down.
The dog ran around the room, Boiitlng
nt every vacant place, and then paused1
before Gavan, He took a steady sight
and pulled the trigger; the lock
snapped, and there the dog stood still,
with his wicked eyes on my grandfather's face.
And thnn my father, who was watching all this from the little room, heard

. Tue Antiquity of Trousers.
WOMAN'S ever-changing fashions In dress have afforded ths
men much amusement, and
have given the satirical writers any amount of material for their
pens. U is clearly a case of people living in glass houses and throwing
stones. Men's fashions have passed
through quite as many changes, and it
Is doubtful If the petticoat Itself has
had a more varied history than have
those grim articles trousers. "To tho
eye of vulgar Logic," said Buskin,
"what" Is man? An omnivorous biped
that wears Breeches." There has never
been a Petticoat Bible, yet In the year
1560 an edition of the Scriptures was
printed at Geneva known as the
"Breedhea Bible." The name arose from
an unusual rendering of Genesis IU. 7.
Adam and Eve, Instead of making
themselves aprons of flg-leavcs, made
themselves "breeohes." There is no re-
oord of Eve wearing petticoats, yet the
first man Is reported to have worn
breeches. The ancients wore breeches
—divided skirts probably—on horseback only, resuming their flowing draperies when they dismounted. Among
the Romans, trousers, which were
called bnaccae, were worn only by the
soldiers who were exposed to cold
northern climates. They were homemade, to Judge from the pictures, and
not In the least stylish. Among the
Greeks such garments were confined
to slaves, the swells reserving the chiton for themselves. The first faint foreshadowing of trousers as we now seo
them was In the time of Richard I. of
England. In Spain, aa well as In tho
Low Countries, trunk hose, mercilessly
slashed, stuffed and decorated, were
the smart things among the elegants.
The story Is related of a luckless courtier who, having seated himself on a
chair upon which was a projecting
nail, was suddenly obliged to rise to
pay his devoirs to his sovereign. Instantly several pecks of dry wheat dust
gushed out of his "galloons," and the
unhappy courtier stood there diminished to a spindle and cutting a very
sorry figure. During the reign of
Ohnrles I. of England, when Vandyck'a
influence was being felt, breeches became of uniform width, open at tho
knee, where they were fringed or bordered with lace and fastened with ribbons. Trousers comes from Old French:
trusses, a kind ot hose, from trousse,
a truss. Pantaloons owes its origin to
St. Pantaleone, a patron saint of the
Venetians. His name was commonly
received at baptism hy the Venetians,
and was by th«m transferred to this
garment, which they very much affected. The tenn "sansculotte" originated
In France. It meant,, properly speaking, a fellow without breeches, and
was used as a term of derision by tho
arlBtocmttcal party for the popular
party at the beginning of the Revolution, but was later assumed by the patriots as a title of honor. Another term,
oni which has offended our ears and
our sensibilities, Is pants. But good old
Oliver Wendell Holmes disposes of It
wtth short shrift: "the things namod
pants—a word not made for gentlemen,
but gents."     Even among the poets
trouiinr.i hnve not boon considered  too
prosaic to be put into song. The genial Tom Moore leaves behind him a
charming little Impromptu Inspired by
a pair of breeohes. It seems that the
bard was obliged upon one occasion to
leave a very pleasant party on account
of not having a pair of evening trousers In which to dress for dinner. Ho
scratched upon a fly-leaf the following:
Between Adam and me the great difference Is,
Though a paradise  each  has been
forced to resign.
Thwt ho never wore breeches till turn'd
out of his,
While, for want of my breeohes, I'm
banished from mine.

"Drink!" said Gavan, setting a hair-

At that moment Fnther Coghlan lifted a warning hand,
"Hush!" he said, "I hear a cry!"
"It's the wind."
"It's no wind, but a child or a woman."
"I hear nothing.   Drink!"

EVERY time a package goes out of
your store which does not contain
some  advertising matter, you are
losing an opportunity to make your
store the store of the town.
Each package you send out is proof
that a sale has been made, it very sale is
supposedly of goods that are going to give
the customer full value, and are going to give
satisfaction. This will create a favorable
impression. Every sale proves that some
person has shown a disposition to trade
with you.
Now this disposition is either great or
small. In either case it ran be made
greater. And one of the most effective
methods to bring about this desired effect is
to place the advertising matter in the packages you send out. •

A Toast to the Bachelor.
A TOAST Is offered to the bachelor.
Not to every bachelor, of course.
Not all are twist worthy. Thero
are plenty who ought to have married,
but were too timid, distrustful, lazy,
self-indulgent, or Incompetent. Thera
oro those who were dazsled In their
youth by the spangles and gewgaws of
life, and stre tolled out for them hands
too eager to detect the worthlessness of
what they got. There are those who
were unlit to marry. Toast them In
moderation, because they didn't, provided they will give bonds to continue
single. There are those who broke
hearts, partly from faithlessness, partly from over-much calculation, partly
from mere lack of grit. No, we may
not tonst nil bachelors. So much the
mare tonst those whom we may! Maintainors of the unmalntained, bearers of
burdens dropped by other men, providers for the unprovided for, succor-
ens of the distressed, defenders of the
fatherless, bulwarks of the widow! Oh,
what a good, an Indispensable man Is
that bachelor who can make a bigger
living than he needs, and Is always
ready to share his surplus; who counsels his nephews and fortifies them
with timely remittances; who surprises
his nieces with gowns and opportune
hats; who has no serious troubles of
his own, and Is ready always to shoulder such troubles ns others bring to
htm! The trouble with Benedict la that
his hostages are given. There are
claims upon his heart, his time, his in-
oome. He must consider obligations
and proprieties. He Is a mortgaged
man, though he may be ever so good a
one. There Is no use of spending much
affection on Benedict, for he can get It
at home, and he en n't repay a large Investment In kind without Incurring domestic hazards. But a good bachelor,
w-hat a groat property he Is, and how
inestimably valuable to those who own
Mm! It Is a great calling to be a good
bacholor, and nbout out; bachelor In a
hundred makes a fairly satisfactory
demonstration that It Is his.—"Harper's

The boom above the. electric light
dam broke lust evening, releasing
several acres of logs and stumps
which bad come down from tbe uppu:1
waters of tbo creek. A number of the

The Nelson board of police commissioners has got down to woric at last.
When tho government appointments to
the board were announced it was,
freely stated there would never be any
meetings of the board us the members
composing it wero known to be on
rather unfriendly terms, but a way
has apparently been louud out of the
difficulty for on Tuesday a meeting
wus convened which was attended by
Commissioners Marks and Irving.
There waa little nr no business transacted at the meeting boyood the
arrangement for future and regular
meetings of the commissioners. In
this connection it was decided tbat
regular meetings should be held on
the first Tuesday in oach month.
Over three hundred feet of the new
steel pipe leading from Cottonwood
creek to the city's wutor system waa
washed out yesterday. The pipe had
been prepared aB much as possible for
high water, but the creek shifted its
channel right across the valley, washing out large quantities of rock and
gravel till the pipe was undermined.
The Chinamen having ranches up the
valley also suffered much of tbeir gardens, which they had built up after
last year's tresbet, being swept away,
Nearly all the cabins above the oloc
trie lignt dam are inundatod, and one
was swept away yesterday morning
collapsing like a house of cards before
the onset of a big piece of timber
which struck it.

THREE FORKS IS S.Otlk,

account of the refusal of tno Nelson

sent to Nelson somo time ago, and the
Kaslo patrons of tho sport were ready
with a purse of J7r, towards cxponscs
and the match looked like coming off
until a reply was received from Nel

hot un -L-.-It-l.ri.tic.il day to play Three
Forks." Poliarps it would be. Tho
Threo Forks boys reckoned on making
it hot foi Nelson regardless ol the

blighted. When the lakeside plnyors
go to Vuncouver to play on July 1st
it may be advisable to inclndo sun-
