The German side of the Moroccan con- ovorgy Is founded upon a treaty of hlch article one reads: "Continuing lid exchanging friendship shall exist ptween his majesty, the German emper- , and his majesty, the sultan of Mor- :co, and also between their empresses id their subjects. Freedom of trade stween both countries shall continue. ! aeb shall endeavor to secure to the tbjects of the other all rights, and prlv- jges held by the most favored nations."

Fraser, M.P.P. to the effect that the desired subsidy for the building of the north fork railroad had been passed by the government caucus. Aa a result of the wire a sudden movement of mirth fork mining stocks lias taken place, about 100.000 shares of Pathfinder alouk having changed hands. Many enquiries art- made for any kind nf north fork stocks. It Is conlldently expected that with this new railway line built and the extensive works contemplated ut the Granby smelter, this year will be a very prosperous one for Grand Forks, At tlio meeting of the I.O.O.F. held here last evening a handsome stiver medal was presented to D. D. Munroe, who is a high officei1 In the order. The presentation was due to the fact that Mr. Munroe, wMjjLWas ii former resident here, had accepted a position elsewhere, which will necessitate his severing hia connection with the lodge. Henry White uf Spokane, is visiting in this city. Mr. White is an old time prospector and mining man In lhe Boundary.

TELEGRAPH LINES CASTRO WANE'S COST A, MILLION DOLLARS Washington, April 1—Minister Bowen has cabled from Caracas to the state department that the Venezuelan supreme court hus decided against thu French Cable company hi that part of the suit involving the forfeiture of the company's concessions but that It has decided adversely to the government In its clulm for damages because thu company did not live up to Its concession, lt Is not expected thut u final decision has heen rendered because the right of appeal lias not been exhausted und it may be weeks or even months before that stage is reached. Paris, April l—Official advices from Cura- ens say the decision of the Venezuelan supreme court cancelling tho French Cable ' company'^ concession, was accompanied by a recognition of the principle of paying an Indemnity for the cancelled Interests. This Is considered as relieving the court's action from arbitrary confiscation. The view prevails that while Venezuela is recognized as a sovereign slate she can .supervise or acquire cable rights. This would not permit the seizure or cutting of the cables or other acts of confiscation, but so long as Venezuela pays an indemnity for the cables taken, the question is considered to be mainly one of fixing un adequate f Indemnity. In the meantime tho company hus cabled M. Brun, Its manager at Caracas, to appeal to president Castro within five days. The company asserts that it has not given assistance to the revolutionists, hut that following the. advice of the French government It Issued a clrculnr to all agents ordering them to keep clear ot the revolutionary entanglements. The company adds that the cables Unking Cnmiero and Lagulra and Goro and Muraeublo, which president Castro seeks to acquire, cost $1,000,000.

ABSORBING QUESTION Germany's Advent in Mediterranean Topic of the Day in Paris French Officials Hardly Know What to Make of it-Take Calm View of Situation for the Present Paris, April 1.—Germany's advent in the Mediterranean as shown by emperor William's visit to Morocco and chancellor von Buelow's speech is the absorbing question of the day. Heretofore France has dealt with Germany on tbe north but now for tbo first time Germany makes hep appearance in the south, and asserts tbat she has strong Interests in the territory bordering on the Mediterranean. The Latin nations, namely, Italy, Spain and France have thus far considered the Mediterranean us their special sphere of activity although Great Britain's control of the two gateways, Gibraltar and Suez, also gives her a commanding position in the Mediterranean. Naturally therefore, Germany's appearance upon this exclusive field is as unexpected us was her appearance at Klo Chou, China, as a fact, or in tbe Chinese territory question. Tlie fact that Germany has uot a coast line on tbe Mediterranean, while the Latin nations bave extensive coasts adds significance to Germany's entering of tbe Mediterranean sphere. Officials here continue to view the situation calmly. They are specially desirous of having other nations, particularly the United States, takes a sympathetic view of France's policy and purposes ln Morocco. This leads to expressions of much satisfaction In the course of the Uulted States some months ago which indirectly recognized France's paramount position in Morocco. This occurred during the PertUcaris case when tbe United States sought the good offices of France. The American action in thus turning to France was widely commented upon at t... time, as constituting an American endorsement of the Anglo-French agreement, moreover, France's recent activity in Morocco is largely the result of indignation over tbo Perdlcaris case. A general cry was then raised that Morocco was in such a state of anarchy that France ought to adopt energetic measures. Perdlcaris camo here and personally solicited the government to take strong measures. Franco finally adopted plans for restoring order and developing the country. Therefore she naturally counts on the sympathy of the United States as her policy is largely the outgrowth of American Interests. The sequel to the present complication arouses considerable solicitude. It is maintained that Germany's claim to have the open door indefinitely prolonged would result In giving Germany commercial privileges exceeding those of tlie other powers and tbat It would probably lead other powers to ask for a similar indefinite extension of the open door, thus requiring Morocco to surrender ber commence without any return. Therefore the policy of France seems to he to give Germany adequate assurances of the same treatment in Morocco,^ as tbe rest of the world, bnt no privileges ibeyoml 'those heretofore accorded to tbe other powers. Beneath the external calm, considerable irritation prevails In government circles he>«. However, this does not show a menacing tone. The attitude of lhe press also Is free from menace.

The proprietor of the restaurant sued to recover tbe pearl on the ground that shells like chicken bones were by tradition left by the customers and were a source of profit to the proprietor. The court decided tbat tbe pearl did not belong to the woman who found it nor to tbe proprietor of tbe restaurant, but to the man who had paid for the oysters. In rendering its decision, the court pointed out that if tiie ownership of the pearl wero to repose in the restaurant proprietor instead of tho person who paid for the oysters, then its ownership might*as well be carried back to the oyster dealer who supplied the restaurant proprietor with the oysters, and thence to the fisherman who takes the oyster from Its bed.

It Is a mistake lo suppose tbe movement Is directed against tbe emperor with whose position as divine representative and viceroy upon earth the whole belief of tbe Russian church Is bound, but It is against, the subordination of church to civil authority, aims which' have been steadily growing since the institution by Peter lhe Great of the holy synod, » The manifesto wus followed yesterday 1) va letter from bishop Dmitri, of Novo- gorod, one of the Influential ptwlnolal bishops, In which he demanded freedom of the church from the power of the Chono- vlks und the bureaucracy! and names tlie chief procurator of tho holy synod, both as an ofliclal whose power needs 'curtailment, ami who himself stands in the way of reform.

In the case of the War Eagle the dividend stage is not likely to be reached for some time, but at least the next annual report should show a very marked Improvement in the mine's condition from a dividend paying standpoint.

Whatever the final division may amount to, it. Is now conceded (hat the measure will pass in its present amended shape by a large majority. Tlio evidence before tiie special house of commons committee on telephones shows that the postmaster general has taken up Ihe question of a municipal and government, telephone system, none too soon. Independent telephone systems in Ontario have to do battle in the courts and before parliamentary committees In order lo get their rights, and then not infrequently do not get them. The postmaster general proposes a system of local municipally owned telephones, with government control over lung distance linos, connecting the former. Government contro] of telephones as outlined is the first step To government control of the telegraph. They Will both come in time and they cannot come any too quickly. LAW, YOUNG & CO. .Montreal. Sole Agents for Canada. THE DAILY NEWS Published nt Nolson every morning Except Monday, by F. J. UKANB ROSSLAND MINES The continued illness of T. G. Black- Btock of Toronto, vice-president and managing director of tlie War Eagle- Centre Star mines, was the cause of thu postponement last week of the annual general meeting of the War Eagle company. After the re-election of the old hoard of directors for llio ensuing year the-meeting adjourned pending Mr. Blackstock's recovery. Referring to the long talked of amalgamation of the Le ftoi mine, with the War Eagle-Center Star and other Rossland properties, which has been under discussion since last summer, the Canadian Mining Review or Montreal, says that the hindrance to the consolidation move comes largely from tbe divergent views of Mr. Watorlow and Mr. Black- stock regarding the situation of the head office of the combination. Naturally, Mr. Waterlow and associates desire the head offlce In London, equally naturally, Mr. Blackstock is reported' as in sisting that the head ofllce shall be on this side of the water, and available for quick communication with the mining properties. Wo are distinctly of Mr. Blackstock's opinion, says the Review, having always believed that the executive offices of a mine should be situated as closely as possible to the property itself. Referring to a rumor that W. H. Aidridge would be the probable manager of the consolidated mines if a merger Is accomplished, the Review sayta that "Mr. Aidridge Ih understood to be quite content with the position which he now occupies, and it is reported that he is ignorant of negotiations looking to his assuming the management of the consolidation." When James Cronln ilic recently elected director of the War Eagle-Centre Star companies passed through this city a fortnight ago he stated that the amalgamation scheme waa practically at a standstill owing to Mr. Blackstock's continued Illness, and added that probably nothing more would bo done In the matter until Llio Toronto mining man recovered his health sufficiently to take up busines affairs once more. In the meantime manager Cronln has been making many changes at the Rossland mines and it will not be surprising If within the year the shareholders of the Centre Star company receive a long Says the Toronto News: "A correspondent informs us that he will continue to tuke our paper because of matters to which he strongly objects. He desires to have his blood warmed up by a healthy exasperation. This is good sense. We welcome him to our list of readers, and will endeavor to accentuate Ihe objectionable features to whicli he refers."

OSLHR REAttiY SAID ' AT BALTIMORE ARTICLE THAT HAS CREATED SO MUCH COMMENT Dr. William Osier's references to the "dead line of forty" in his last address at John Hopkins university, have aroused much critical comment. The address was his valedictory on leaving the Baltimore university to tako charge or the medical school of Oxford university. He wenl lo John Hopkins at Hip age of •10 and is now fill. Tlie text of Iho portion of his address, on tbe topic of .the world's work being done by young men and cutting short of the careers of the old afler sjxly years, is given herewith. I am going to he bold and .touch upon another question of some delicacy, hut of Infinite importance in university life, one that has not been settled in this country. I refer to a fixed period for the teacher, either of time of service or of age. Except in some proprietary schools. I do not know of any institutions In which there is a time limit of, say. twenty years' service, as in some of the London hospitals, or in which a man is engaged for a term of years. Usually tlie appointment is aut, vltam aut eiilpam, as Ihe old phrase rends. It is a serious matter in our young universities to have all of Ihe professors growing old at the same time. In some places only nn epidemic, a time limit or an age limit, can save the situation. I hnve two fixed Ideas, well known to my friends, harmless obsessions; with "which I sometimes bore them, but which •have a direct bearing on 'this important, problem. The first is the comparative uselessness of men above 40 years of age. This may seem shocking and yet, read aright, tho world's history bears out the statement. Take the sum of human achievement in action, in science, In art, in literature—subtract the work of the man above 40,^and ■while we should miss great treasures, even priceless treasures, we would practically be where we are today. It is difficult to name n great and far-reaching conquest of llio mind which has not been given to I lie world by a man on ■whose back the .sun is still shining. The jeffecWve, moving, vitalizing work of the world is done between the ages of 25 and*40—these fifteen years of plenty, tho anabolic or constructive period, In SOME NIFTY GOODS Lamb's Tongue, Cooked and Pickled.

Address Silver King Mlka, Box 'ki, H*U whicli there Is always a balance- ln the mental bank, and the credit is still good. tn the science and art of medicine there has not been an advance of the first rank which has not been Initiated by young or comparatively young men. Vesalius, Harvey, Hunter, Bichat, Laen- neo, Virchow, Lister, Koch—the green years were yet upon their heads when thoir epoch-making studies were made. To modify an old saying, a man Is sane morally at 30, rich mentally at 40, wise spiritually at 50—or never. The young men "should be enconarged and afforded every poslble chance to show what Is in them. If there Is ono thing more than another upon which the professors of this university are to be congratulated, lt Is the sympathy and fellowship with their junior associates, upon whom really ln many departments, in mine certainly, has fallen the brunt of tbe work. And heroin lies the chief valuo of the teacher who has passed his climacteric and Is no longer a productive factor; he can play the man midwife, as Socrates did to Thosetetus, and determine whether the thoughts which the young men are bringing to the light are Silse Idols or true and noble births. My second fixed Idea Is the uselessness of men above 00 years old, and the incalculable benefit It would be ln commercial, political, and In professional life If, as a matter of course, men stopped work at this age. Donne tells us in his "Biathanatos" that by the laws of certain wise states, sexagenari were precipitated from a bridge, and in Rome men of that age were not admitted to the suffrage, and they were called de- ponati, because the way to the senate was per pontem, and they, from age, were not permitted to come hither. Tn that charming novel, "The Fixed Period," Anthony Trollope discusses the practical advantages in modem life .'f a return to this ancient usage, and the plot hinges upon the admirable scheme of a college, into which, at 60, men re- HEALTHY PLANT8 Ii "!)■>■" 'he M°"> Careful Attention u Well as Good Soil.

That incalculable benefits might follow such a scheme is apparent to anyone who, like myself, is nearlng Lhe limit, and who hus made a careful study of the calamities which may befall men during the seventh and eighth decardes. Still more when he contemplates the many evils which they perpetuate unconsciously and with, impunity. As it can he maintained 'that all tho great advances have come from men under 40, bo the history of the world shows that a largo proportion of tho ovils may be traced to the sexagenarians— nearly all the great mistakes politically and socially, all of tho worst poems, most of the had pictures, a majority of the bad novels, not a few of .the bad sermons and speeches, It is not to bo denied that occasionally there is a sexagenarian whose mind, aa Cicero remarks, stands out of reach of the body's decay. Such a one has learned tlio secret of Hermlppus, that ancient Roman, who feeling that the silver cord was loosening, cut himself clear from all companions of his own age and betook himself to the company of young men, mingling with their games and studies, and so lived to the age of 153, puoror- um halltu rcfocillus et educatus. And there is truth In the story, since it Is only those who live witli the young who maintain a fresh outlook ou the new problems of the world.

A bill is pending before the British house of commons calculated to protect trade unions from the results of some of the recent judicial decisions, notably the Taff-Vale judgment. The bill recently passed its second reading by a majority of 122. Tlio English papers comment on the terms of tho hill pro and con. Appended aro, extracts from some of Uie leading journals, lu view of the declaration of J. H. Hawthornthwalte, M.P.P., mado recently in the local legislature that tlio usefulness of the trade union was gone, the views of leading English papers on the admitted Importance of the union will lie found interesting. Tho Daily News:—"The house of commons was engaged yesterday in an attempt lo restore trade unionism to the position In which the legislature placed it 30 years ago, and which recent judge- made law has demolished.' Tlio loss of this right of effective combination is ono of tho Erupts of the reaction through wliich the country has been passing; . . No doubt it is easy enough for ihe lawyers to contend, as the attorney-general did yesterday, (hat in asking for protection against actions for damages the unions are seeking a position of privilege. That is not so in reality. An employer or association of employers has no more grievance against a union which, subject to the observance of contracts, withdraws or threatens to withdraw its members' labor, than a union has against employers who may choose to enforce a lock-out. Yet who every board of a labor organization seeking an injunction or bringing an action for damages against an employers' federation in the latter ease? Tho injury done to tbe workers and their families may be extreme, and the coercion brought to bear upon employers to join In the lock-out excessive, but no union ever dreams of importing tin law of conspiracy into such a case Nothing but a gross confusion of ideas can give oven a colorable warrant to the doctrine that, a voluntary associa tlon of wage-workers acting ln its own interests ought to stand to bo shot at under the pica tbat Its action is duo to animus or has resulted In pecuniary injury. In asking for a restoration of tho old order of things the unions are not seeking for a privilege, but for what common-sense ami experieno teach us is a right. It may be, as Mr, Asquith suggests, tliat the wording of Mr. Whiftaker's bill calls for some amendment, but It Is substantially on the right lines, and we are delighted that It has secured its second reading by an immense majority." Tho Daily Chronicle:—"The bill embodies tbo policy of tbe Trades Union congress, and seeks at removing the doubts as to tlie law of trade disputes wliich have reFulted from the recent decisions of tbe house of lords, nnd at putting the trade unions back into the position they held before those decisions were given. It legalizes 'peaceful persuasion." It amends the law of conspiracy by enacting that 'an agreement or combination by two or more persons to do or procure to be dime any act in contemplation of furtherance ot a trade dispute shall not lie ground for an action, If such act when done by ono person would not bo ground for action.' Theso points seem to us to embody tho demands alike of justice and expediency, A third clause, proposing that ' an action shall not he brought against a trade union for the recovery of damage sustained by reason of the action of a member or memhers of such trade unions/ raises a more disputable point. Tho protection of the sick anil provident funds of trnde unions Is, indeed, clearly desirable, and tho responsibility of unions for tho acts of their members needs careful definition. But wo much doubt whether the sense of justice In the house of commons, or In tbe genoral community, will agree to the enactment of a proposition that for wrongs done by tho responsible agents of a powerful organization no liability for damages should attach (o it. The manner in which, without going so far as this, the funds of trade unions may properly ho protected Is. however, eminently a matter for such careful and unprejudiced discussion in committee ns the bill will now, we hope, receive." Tho Westminster Gazette:—"Objection is taken to tlie bill because it gives workmen something over and above what the common law gives them. Tills is undoubtedly lhe case. Tbo deliberate Intention In the 70's was to equalise conditions as between employers and employed. This could and can only bo done by giving to tbe workmen tlio power of collective bargaining and the mot hod of milking that, bargaining effective—the peaceful strike. Recent decisions of the courts have made a Strike ■practically Impossible. In tho interests of social order and of economic justice this is to lie deplored—not, as wo need hardly add, becauso wo want strikes, but because without tbe right of striking tbe workman is in reality helpless against the employer." Tho Times:—"Tho division In tbe house of commons on the second reading of Ihe bill to amend the law relating to trade unions and trade disputes, certainly suggests that tho mercury of tho political barometer Is falling towards the point at which a dissolution of parliament la no longer regarded as a remote contingency. ... On both sides of tbo houso, and from tbo Hps nf almost every speaker in tbo debate thoro was a consensus of testimony to tho valuo of trades unions as Industrial bodies, and to tbe benefits which havo been produced hy the establishment of organizations with which it is possible for employers to deal In security.

Some members have no doubt soothed their consciences by reflecting that a measure designed to override tho law hag no chance of passing tlirough all the necessary stages in tho present parliament, They vote for It or hold aloof with an eye upon the electors, whose favor thoy desire lo retain. For.much the same reason the government, which fools constrained to condemn tho proposals of the bill, refrains from oxorcislng authority over members to secure Its rejection, in both cases tbe action Is unworthy." WHAT THE PEOPLE REAP INTERESTING INVESTIGATION RECENTLY MADE. LITERATURE OF AN EASTERN AMERICAN VILLAGE. An investigation was recently made n a community which comprises a small vlllago ln an eastern state and a considerable portion of agricultural and grazing country, with a view to ascertaining what literature Is read. The district contains three hundred and forty- nine families, and boasts four churches with three resident ministers, and five schools with seven teachers. The report of the Investigation (published In The World's Work, March) is devoted almost entirely to the circulation of periodical literature, but contains this i paragraph on tbe reading of books: "There is a library containing more than three' thousand volumes of well- selected hooks. This is supported by a small endowment and by private subscriptions. Its circulation is confined almost exclusively to flotlon and to magazines. Its more serious books—of which It has an excellent stock, though there are hardly any of recent date—are very rarely called for. During the year there were taken out of the HDrary 1001 volumes hy 96 patrons. Of the 1001 volumes more than 900 were fiction—an average of over nine to each patron. Burring two or three homes, tbe purchase of books of any kind Is practically nil, so that this circulation represents within a very small margin the total amount of book-reading in the district. Tlie report, places the district far ahead of many of its size, but Is should ho observed that not more than a fourth of the families are reached by the library." In the matter of periodical literature, it T.*as found that seventy-nine different journals wore taken. The character of the papers and their circulation are Indicated by the following classification: Dally and Weekly Papers 323 High-class weeklies (such as Harper's Weekly, The Independent) 7 A weekly paper described as " a cross between The PoliM News and a regular newspaper) 43 Religious Papers 127 Temperance papers 7 Agricultural papers G5 "Dollar Magazines" C9 More expensive monthlies 13 Periodicals devoted to Interests of woman and tho home 119 The Saturday Evening Post, Tbe Youth's Companion, and The American Boy 2E> Humorous papers 1 Monthlies varying from 15c to 50c a year: sheets which contain " a pretty fair amount of literary hash" and "the worst scum of the advertising world" 56 Total 855 The World's Work "Investigator" enlls attention to the fact that "hardly more than one-fourth of the homes regularly receive tbe hest, as well as the most popular periodicals." He goes on to comment: "The conclusion derived from this situation Is that the constant increase of magazine circulation and the establishing of new magazines In not doing a great deal to reach the great mass of the people in our country communities. A great opportunity for good service awaits the man who can devise ways and moans of reaching the vast multitude which clearly Is yot untouched by this rising flood of good periodical literature." Taking up the last qun'.ort sentence, the New York Evening Post suggest1! that "a far greater opportunity for better service nwnits the man who can devise ways and means of keeping the multitude untouched by this rising flood, and can persuade them to try the most entertaining nnd tbe most stimulating fiction, poetry, essays, biography, and history." Tbe Philadelphia Press observes: "What needs to bo remembered in walling ovor the reading of this borough is that, a hundred years ago this village would havo had less than half of Its population able to read at all. Doubtless much read Is poor, but these lives when Ihey were left without even tho wider horizon of periodical reading were worse sllll. The books now consumed aro so much completely to the good. So Is tho better part of these periodicals "It Is the custom of tho literary Sa- duceo to find fault with successive stages, because they are not taken In a day, and to weep over the advance because It Is less rapid than men desire who aro Ignorant of everything but books, Life Is necessary to literature, bnt literature Is not necessary to life, and only by slow degrees ran the general mass be schooled to the higher letters as tho general mass is being schooled now as never beforo. More of the better and best is needed. Without it lands perish. Put much of the reading condemned, like some crops, Is plowed under and Inst, preparatory to a better and more golden harvest."

TURNING ONM LIGHT AMERICAN GREED, PARALYSIS AND CORRUPTION. A CAPITALISTIC, MORAL AND POLITICAL EXPOSURE. . Tho story or tho handing ovor of tho Rapid Transit in Now York City \o n private monopoly which Mr. John Do Witt Warner contributes to Tlio Independent, la, all in all, tho most remarkable chapter yet written in the history of capitalistic greed, moral paralysis ami political corruption In America. The exposure of the Tweed ring by lhe Now York Times a generation ago revealed the possibility oF a purely criminal exploitation of a city. Charles Francis Adams's "Story of Erie," foreshadowed Miss Tarbell'S history of the Standard Oil monopoly as an exposition of the method hy which unscrupulous finance controls corporation politics, state legislation and the courts. Mi*. Warner's articles renders the far more important, service of turning the searchlight upon a supposedly moral, respectable, substantial element In tho community, and exposing its full responsibility for a shameful betrayal of the people. No men In New York City are hold, and deservedly held, in higher honor hy the public than the men who compose the Chamber of Commerce. There are no men against whose fair name the breath of suspicion could more idly blow than the gentlemen that havo served on the Rapid Transit Commission. Thero is no man whoso character is more unhesitatingly conceded by political friends and political foes alike to bo of unimpeachable Integrity than the honorable Seth Low. Yet those men, whon It was absolutely within their power to give lo Now York city a system of rapid transit, that should be successful as a means of expeditiously trans? porting a vast population at reasonable prices, and at the same time a source of vast revenue to the city, deliberately handed It over to private interests and saddled upon tho public an extortionate monopoly, which will coin untold millions of dollars from the people's necessity and which has already assumed tlio attitude of opposition to any further extension of subway traffic until tho people are made to stand and deliver, Mr. Warner does not advance this proposition as an Item of "information anil belief" leaving the public to guess whether ho knows any more about the matter than those whose interest it would be to deny his assertions. He gives to tho reading public Ihe documentary proofs of his charges. The article ts remarkable also for another reason: By Curther documentary evidence Mr. Warner establishes his assertion that the element in the community which from llrst to last, has clearly seen tho true public. Interest, has formulated it in unequivocal language ami lias battled for it in tlie forum of public opinion and in the legislature, has been the despised and maligned labor unions. If these revelations applied to New York City only they would he serious enough, Unhappily they are hut examples of conduct and conditions that prevail in all the great cities of this republic, and probably In most of the towns and villages. A gigantic struggle is on between capitalism, bent upon Hie utmost extortion that can be practiced, and a peoplo that is becoming thoroughly aroused and wrathful with a sense of outraged right. In this struggle the "respectable" business men, whose duty it is to take broad and sound views of the public welfare, and to stand firmly by the principles of justice and honor, have thug far with ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦I ♦ ■_____ —mm —- 1 DIAMOND DYES FOR PERFECT HOME DYEING.

Wo do not propose to waste hrealh or ink In mere preaching on this theme. We shall merely point out to these estimable gentlemen, these "conservative" individuals, these champions ot "safe and cautious" progress, who utter words of solemn warning against agitators and inveigh against the dangerous IfieU^ity of labor organizations, Vat they, the respectable, substantial citizenship of the nation, are the men who nre undermining tho foundations of American society, endangering the republican scheme of government and storing up for themselves wrath against the day of wrath. Tho avidity with which the people have devoured the recent exposures of corporation politics and finance should he to men who can read the signs of tho times an all sufficient warning that tbe day of reckoning is at hand. Happily we havo in America the universal manhood suffrage, and the people can do what they will wilh the business system, for the business system has come lo rest upon corporate powers and privileges created by lhe slale. What the people will do with their power Is purely a question of what the people happen to think or believe about' conditions that affect the general welfare. So far as the political outcome is concerned it matters not nt all whether a slory like Lawsou's "Frenzied Finance" is in the main true or In tho main false If tbe people happen to believe that it is time. A few documents like those that Mr. Warner contributes to popular enlightenment will convince some tens of thousands of voters that, whether true in deall or not, the writings of Law- son, Miss Tarbell, Lincoln, Stelfcns and others have not told the half about the real greed and corruption that have been ruling with a high hand in American business and political activity. When this conviction is once established in the popular mind no fear of free sllvor or of populism will dolor the people from throwing In their lot witli the Bryan type of democracy.7 They will stop at "safe" or conservative restrictions of corporate power. They will feel that the positions taken hy labor organizations, populists and oven socialists more truly express the real interests of tlie people than do tho leadership and "practical judgment" of the business classes. If the business classes wish to retain their leadership and influence they will have to reform their "views" and their ways radically and promptly and tbo sooner they set about It the better thoy will fare. When popular revolt gets under way It will not stop with the "governmental regulation" of corporate activity. It will proceed through schemes of taxntlon nnd otherwise to bring about a redistribution of wealth by a confiscation of property."—The Independent. HOW MENJMOSE WIVES COLOR OF EYES AND THE LENGTH OF FOREARM. LONDON SCIENTIST SAYS ARE DETERMINING FACTORS New theories of unconscious selection on the pnrt of man and wife—like mating with like—as opposed to Darwin's idei that men and women depend upon the perceptive and Intellectual faculties m choosing each other, were propounded hy professor Karl Pearson, of the university college, London, recently nt tho Royal institution, says the London Mull: He maintained that the man has nn unconscious tendency to select a wife of nis own height with eyes of his own color, a proportionate span from forefinger, a forearm corresponding to his own, and a constitution of like physical vigor. Thc!,e theories ho expounded by moans of tables and diagrams. Among every thousand men the color of the eyes Is divided as follows: Blue 363, green 312, hazel 127, brown 94. The eyes of women are generally darker, only 286 of them in every thousand having blue ones. If iheso iilue- cycil people married at random, the result would be that they would mate at tho^ra/te of 104 por thousand; but he had discovered that the actual number of marriages per thousand of blue-eyed persons was 140, or 36 above the random average, thus proving that the blue- eyed man and Mile-eyed woman aro un- coiisclou?ly attracted toward one ant ther. In the same way, men with greenish groy o.r hazel eyes tend to marry women with eyes of like color. The average height of a man he gave as from 67 inches to OS inches, that of a woman as 62 1-2 inches, and he contended that the average tall man has a tall wife, and the average short man a short wife. 'One could hardly imagine a man choosing a wife by measuring her from forofinger to forefinger," said the professor; yet his diagrams demonstrated that as the span of one increased so did that of the other. A like result was produced in the measurement of thousands of forearms, his figures showing that thore was a distinct tendency on the part of men with long forearms to marry wives with proportionately long forearms.

April 1.—It is reported that after a service of upwards of seventeen years, lord Strathcona will, ere long, retire from the presidency of the bank of Montreal, the vacancy thus created to be tilled by sir George A. Drummond, who for a.long time past has been acting in the capacity of vice- president. Tlio Bank of Montreal Is applying for permission to create an honorary presidency, and to this position lord Strathcona will, Il is understood, lie elected. For some years back lord Strathcona has resided almost entirely in England, the consequence being that little of the active management of Canada's first financial Institution fell uponhls shoulders, hut, on the contrary, was assumed almost entirely by sir George A. Drummond, vice-president. At tbo bead office ot tlie bank of Montreal, the officials state that for the present, at. least, there is no confirmation of the report of lord Stratbcona's resignation. At tho samo time the fact is very generally tnken as conclusive that his lordship will, when necessary legislation is passed, become the honorary president, and fhat sir George A. Drummond will, In the natural course of ©vents become president. This advancement would leave the vice-presidency open, and it Is rumored that E. S. Clouslon, who for years has heen general manager, will lake up the vlco presidency, ind It is further slated that Mr. Vincent Meredith, assistant general manager, will then ho advanced to tho general managership. As before stated, however, these are but rumors, and cannot at present be confirmed at headquarters. Sir George A. Drummond has for a great many years been Identified with the hank of Montreal. He became a director In 1SS2, and was elected vice- president in 3887, at tbo same time thai lord Strathcona, then sir Donald A. Smith entered upon his term of offlco _j president.

All report business In the city to he fair but the demand for goods in the tributary wholesale territory will depend upon tho extent of operations to be undertaken, and about them there is still uncertainty. George Nunn of A. Macdonald & Co., 'said: "X can tell you better in a month or so, The winter months have been just about as usual. Jnn tin ry and February were even quieter wllh us than last year, but Marcli brought the three months' trade up to the average. 1 haven't heen over the whole district lately. Any forecast I make is likely to bo modified. Tho Boundary looks well. Jt was the best district last year and will probably be again tills year. Tiie Ymlr district seems likely to be better than It has been foi1 several years. Tlie Sloean Is quiet and I seo no ground at present for expecting an early Change. 1 haven't been In East Kootenay lately. Tlia^rade there will probably depend to .son™oxtent on the lumber industry. J, A. McDonald who intends to go into the wholesale fruit business exclusively, reported that the trade In trull was extensive and showed no sign of falling off, Managers of companies dealing In other lines expressed practically the saint- opinion as Mr. Nunn. The wholesale trade of Nelson contracts and expands as activity In mining and lumbering decreases or increases. This outlook lor most of lhe mining districts ia hopeful, hut until hope is converted Into certainty, wholesale companies will uot count upon it. ANOTHER ZINC SHIPPER Bell Mine at Whitewater Sends Out Two Carloads to Kaslo. The flrst shipment of zinc ore from the Bell mine, at Whitewater, has arrived in Kaslo and is being tested at the sampler, says the Kootenalan. The shipment Is of two cars and Is expected to run very high in zinc, some of it going 60 per cent. This mine promises to become one of lhe biggest zinc properties in the country. The property is under lease and bond to Eckert, Holmes and Elzi and lies directly above the Jackson mine in Jackson basin. The ore which is being shipped Is all being taken out of an upper tunnel where 12 feet of solid zinc has been exposed whicli averages between fifty and sixty per cent. Work on tlie showing has been stopped for the present owing to surface water and a lower tunnel Is being extended for 30 feet which is expected to tap the ore at a depth of over 60 feet. When this Is completed the lessees expect to ship an Immense quantity of ore. The ore besides being very rich in zinc is Interspersed with bunches of very rich galena and gray coppef. The lessees expect to ship enough ore to be able to take up their bond by the 1st of AugUBt, ABOUT RHEUMATISM There are fow diseases thut Inflict more torture thnn rheumatism und there Is probably no disease for which such a varied and useless lot of remedies liavo been suggested. To say that it can be cured is, therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm which enjoys an extensive sale, has met with great success in ihe treatment of the disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve tho pain and hundreds of sufferers have testified to permanent cures by Its use. Why suffer when Pain Balm affords sueli quick relief and costs but a trllle?

Colors are, many and Beautiful, fitted to evory ocenHlon and complexion. But a casual survoy of the new spring goodH \s likely to leave one with n fixed eonvlctlon that greens and browns head tho color list of tho season. Tho gnjoiiB most modish are soft willow, the almond shades and the silvery grey green of ollvo leaves. The greens wllh a dash of sliver or cream in them are never crude and garish aud uru essentially cool. In combination with while, the.se greens aro at their best, and the greous with white cheeks, stripes, etc., found in such profusion among silks and -linens and cottons aro usually becoming us well as restful and summery, hut .the samo greens In solid color or one tone matcriuls are distinctly trying and should be shunned by tlio average woman. Somo of tho smartest of the new street suit models aro in lightweight broadcloth, Panama, henrielta aud other spring woolens, in the light grey greens; but pretty us they are, they would make nine oul of ten wearers look pule and sallow. Tho summer browns must be chosen as carefully as tho greens. Here too, one Ilnds the color at its best when mixed with white, but the great fault with solid brown is its hot look, and the brown dress for tho commlng summer must be selected with this danger in mind. Both browns and greens are well represented In the check effects so numerous among other materials. In everything from cotton to silk the check Is ublqutous, often In combination with other designs, but appearing In every Imaginable form. Probably we sliall be tired of cheeked materials before the summer is over, but It is an unquestionable fact that the majority of the prettiest novelties in all materials save evening gown fabrics, have .some suggestion of the check. Among the silks there are checks of all Sizes from inch checks to half inch squares and a choice between them Is a mere matter of persouul preference. The silks with solid grounds marked ofl Into checks by hair lines of contrasting color are newer than the shepherd's plaids, but the checks in the shepherd variety are modish, and the block check of while and color, much larger than the conventional shepherd's plaid, aro considered exceedingly smart for the morning shirtwaist frock, being less common than tlio shepherd's plaid. lu messallne, foulard, taffeta and surah, ono Ilnds tlie inevitable checks; but the soft llnished taffetas, glace or dull, are In tho lead, and shot effects or tiny broehe designs sprinkled over tlie checked surface are popular variations upon the plain checks. Tho sack cont Is, if Indications are to be trusted, to have greaior vogue than it has enjoyed for several seasons past, and some exceedingly piquant effects are secured In these short coats, straight in front and straight or more frequently s'eml-fltting In the back. For the moment the woolens with White ground or grey while ground, barred off Into checks by lines of black or color, are prime favorites, and since thoy arc rather too delicate to be practicable for constant rough wear, ll Is possible that they may noi become so common us the shepherd's plaids. A word as to children's frocks. Everything seems to figured In one w:ty or another, espeelnly for I hem. When plain materials are used ihey are often furbished with hands, straps, yokes, belts arid tun's of cheeks or mixed ones, Here again lhe cheeks prevail. In fact, big and Utile, old and young, are taken with cheeks'. At this rate, unless the tide turns, checked Waists and plain skirls, checked skirts and plain waists, nil checked costumes trimmed with plain materia I. and all plain costumes trimmed with checked materials, will he as plentiful as thai dangling green veil of sickening memory a couple of years ago. Look oul for the style that Is a craze in the early spring. It Is tlio one to be done To death by June. Plaids aro used in ihe same way as checks hut are not quite sn popular. Many of the grown up gowns thai have checked waists and plain skirts, or vice versa, have suspenders of one shade or another that mntoh the skirls. These suspenders are a pretty style. There Is a way of running them over tlie bolt in the back In becoming little tubs over lhe top of the skirt. Pique Is back In favor with linens, and will he as much used as the latter for summer frocks for children ami adults, A great deal of embroidery and lace arc employed ou summer dresses, and chemisettes and gtiltnpes arc as Important in a mother's wardrobes as gulmpes are hi her little daughters. The children's clothes literally revel In ribbons. The ribbons which come provided witli cords to draw them into single, double or triple frills ami Into rosettes, are fiir- blshlng both frocks and hats. 'Hie lovely Ilowered and pompadour sash ribbons are worn with dresses of plain fabrics, while witli flowered materials shaded ribbons or two shades uf ribbons are combined to match the ground work, or moro often the flower or foliage.
