C, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 25, 19 m NO 30 IN COLLISION Steel Ships Crash Together on Lake Huron f Seventeen Believed to be Drowned Half-Dozen Survivors from Big Steamer PORT HURON, May 24—In a collision between two big steel ships on Lake Huron north of Point Aux Barques ln a dense fog on Monday morning, 17 men are believed to bave been drowned. The steamer Frank H. Goodyear of Cleveland was sunk ln 47 fathoms of water. The steamier James B. Wood of Cleveland which struck the Goodyear bow on, came Into Port Huron harbor today with a big hole In her bow carrying half a dozen survivors Irom the steamer Goodyear. The latter carried a crew of 23 men and several passengers. The Survivors Capt. F. R, Hemenger, who commanded the Goodyear, the chief engineer, a steward, one wheelman and two passengers, Mrs. T. H. Bassett and her daughter, were saved and brought to Port Huron on the steamer Wood. The only hope of the survival of the others .who were on hoard the Goodyear lies in the possibility of their having been rescued iby the steamer Sir William Siemens, which was near the scene of the wreck and is due at Saulte Ste. Marie later today. Given Life Preservers The Goodyear was struck amidships on the starboard side. In a moment it wag seen that the Goodyear was doom? ed. Everyone on board was supplied with a life preserver and every effort was made to man and launch the small boats. But the water poured into the hold so fast that the heavy hatches were forced from their frames iby the pressure from underneath and shot Into the air ln every direction. Snatched Baby from Arms The falling hatches spread injury and death among the terrified crew and passengers of the sinking vessel. With hia' infant child in his arms, Steward Bassett had almost reached safety in one of the lifeboats when one of the tumbling hatches snatched the baby from his arms. The little one fell Into the lake and was drowned despite tbe frantic efforts of its father to rescue It, Rescued Five Following the accident Capt. Gibson of the Wood ordered the lifeboats lowered and gave the crew instructions to make every possible effort to save any of the sailors of the sinking steamer. The boats rescued five people from the water. No More Rescued SATJLT STE. MARIE, May 24—The steamer Siemens passed Detour this morning and did not report any survivors of the wrecked steamer Goodyear. It is believed to be certain that she would have reported had any survivors been aboard. Give up Hope PORT HURON, May 24—Families and friends of the missing IS members of the crew of the ill-fated steamer Frank H. Goodyear which sank on Monday morning off Point Aux Basques, Lake Huron, after being rammed amid- . ships iby the steamer James B. Wood, tonight practically gave up hope of any of tiie missing party .being rescued. The steamer Siemens which was said to nave picked up some of the missing crew passed Detour today and made no report of having any of the survivors aboard. That the Siemens would have reported otherwise is regarded as certain. She has not reached Sault Ste. Marie and it is thought may have been delayed in Sailors Encampment channel by the blockade there. Four of the rescued members of the crew have gone to Goodyear's headquarters In Cleveland and Mrs, Emma Bassett, the only woman survivor, Is still ln Port Huron. Laden With Ore The scene of the collision was about 25 miles above Point Aux Basques and the time .between 5 and 6 o'clock Monday morning. A thick fog hung over the water. The Goodyear operated by Mitchell and company of Cleveland, was coming down from Lake Superior laden with ore. The Wood, owned by the Gilchrist Transportation company of Cleveland was going up light. There was little sea at the time and the fog Is held largely responsible for the accident. A partial list of the missing follows: John Bott, aged three years Algoma; Gus Zeatsch, first mate, Algonac; Chief Engineer John Gibson; Archie Gibson, second mate, Algonac; Wheelman Jas. Plergls,, South Chicago; John Lapp, watchman Cleveland; W. Pitt Midland, Ont.; W.

PAYS TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FOR OWE DUCK Wycliffe Man Shooting Out of Season Pays Penalty—Good Work by Game Wardens (Special to The Dally News.) CRANBROOK, May 24—Paul Cluzel of Wycliffe went gunning for ducks yesterday morning, shot one and paid ¥25 for so doing today. There are three lakes on St. Mary's prairie near Wycliffe where ducks and geese used to resort In great numbers during the migration season. Some of the so called "sports" from around that locality made those lakes anything but a safe resort for the fowl so that where you once could see hundreds you never can Bee a score now. Deputy Game Warden James Bates of Cranbrook knew ot this and decided to put a stop to it once and for all. He directed his Indian deputy, Jacob, to watch tbe largest of the lakes early on yesterday morning. Jacob concealed himself near the water and after a little time saw a lad, a son of the accused come and spring the duck from the water with a 22 rifle. The few that were there, Gutter-balls, flew over to near where the accused had hidden himself. He managed to kill one with a 12 bore shot gun. His dog retrieved the bird for him. Jacob at once reported tbe matter to Mr. Bates who was in Wycliffe at the time. He met Cluzel returning from the lake with the duck tn his bag. , ..-.,_ t In Police Court Yesterday the case came up before Magistrate Ryan when Chisel pleaded guilty with the extenuation that he was ignorant of the law and that a man named McDermott once told him that he could slaughter all the migratory, fowl he cared for. Jacob and Mr. Bates proved the case as stated and Cluzel was fined .20 and $5:25 for expenses. It was pointed out to him by the magistrate that he Could hardly plead ignorance of the law as it was displayed in plain type on tbe walls of the hotel In Wycliffe and in every public place in the district. He publicly complimented tooth Mr. Bates and Jacob on the good work they were so successfully doing and expressed the opinion that the penalty would make Cluzel realize that the game was not worth the fine with Its unpleasant alternative in the event of non-payment. The fine was paid. Game of all kinds Is being splendidly looked after around Cranbrook nnd there can be no mistake about the thoroughness with which offenders are dealt with when brought before the courts.

VICTORIA DAY Nelson Spends Holiday with City of Kaslo Baseball Match Only Fly in Ointment Fine Program of Sports Carried Out Another strand to the strong tie of good feeling between the cities of (Kaslo and Nelson was twined yesterday, when Nelson joined with her sister city in celebrating Victoria Day, sending to represent her a contingent of citizens 300 strong. As the Great Northern steamship Kaslo, crowded to the guards with excursionists and with pennants flying, came abreast of the lofty perch which the lake city dominates, a salute of giant crackers I urn the shore proclaimed her advent, t>nd as she rounded the point, tin citizens of Kaslo, who lined the shore rfinks deep, added 'their imprimatur to the welcome by the waving of. scores of flags and handkerchiefs, while tbe deafening shrieks ot the steamship Elren made the echoes fly again. Then the Nelson city band, fro n the upper deck, struck into a lively air, more crackers were set off on shore, and the bustle of landing succeeded and absorbed attention. This perfect welcome included, as part and parcel of the excursion, the representatives of Grand Forks in the baseball contingent, and It crowned a perfect trip over, first, the West Arm and next the main lake, its gleaming surface reflecting the neighboring shores which, as they receded into the distance, faded in beautifully rounded promontories, into the horizon, bathed in many hued mists while before every new reach of lake discovered fresh glowing capes and shining surfaces. As the visitors stepped on shore, they found waiting to pilot them, a reception committee composed of O, T. Stone, H. Giegerlchi J. L. Retallack, W. V. Pap- worth, Geo. Stott, Jas. Spelrs, A. J. Curie, C. F. Olson, W. E. Cooke, D. P. Yates, P. McGregor, D. P. Kane, C. F. Sherwln, H. P. Pett, C. L. Stephen- eon, J. H. Brookes, W. N. Gallup, W. E. Hodder, A. W. Allen, O. Strathearn, D. P. Cosgrlff, J. R, Cameron, G. O. Buchanan, W. B. Smith, A. J. Becker, J. J. Flngland, A. B. Fleener, F. E, Archer, D. C. MacGregor and J. W. Cockle. Neil F. Mackay, M.P.P. and A. S. Goodeve, M.P., the remaining members of the committee were absent, but well represented. The day's programme of sports opened immediately and continued till practically the hour of departure, at 8 o'clock in the evening. It Included a trap shooting tournament, a baseball match between Nelson and Phoenix, launch races for cups, a professional shooting competition, a concert by the Nelson city band and numerous contests for the younger element. In addition a salmon fishing contest for visitors was in progress all day—yet to be concluded. This programme was under the management of a committee consisting of S. H. Green, O. E, Desmond, Dr. A. W. Bagnell, John Keen, E, H. Latham, A. Palmer, S. Hunter, R. Hendricks, W. Robb, W. E. Zwicky, Q J. Qulnan, F. H, Walsh, Jas. Anderson, D. C. MacGregor, A. McQueen, J. G. Potter, A. T. Garland, Mayor J. W. Power, W. H. Burgess and E. E. Chlpman. Mayor Power was honorary president of tbe committee, Mr. Burgess was secretary and Mr. Chlpman treasurer. The final court of appeal was tlie executive committee which was composed of Messrs. Green, Chlpman and BurgesB. The committee disbursed a fund of $000, raised by the citizens of Kaslo. The way that Kaslo does things was Illustrated by tlie Tala appearance of the city, the Union Jack pnd varl-colored bunting being- prominent In every quarter, while the ever present and ever exploding fire cracker, squib or rocket, attested the enthusiastic interest of the younger generation in it he proceedings. Various members of the reception committee found time from their other duties to pilot visitors to the various points of interest In the lower and the upper town and show them over the public buildings. Mayor Selous $ind Aid. Wells, F. A. Starkey, president of the board of trade and other representative citizens of Nelson were fraternally entertained, and in all respects the hospitality of the people of Kaslo may be described by the word i'royal." An Important element in the day's success was the able assistance rendered to the hotels, in providing for the physical comfort of the visiting multitude, by the ladles aid of the Kaslo Presbyterian church. The ladles (served 300 meals, and only stopped when the provisions were exhausted. This department was managed by Mrs. George Stott, president of the society, assisted by Mesdames C. R. Garland, ff. Varey, J. Rlddell, W. A. Bagnell, P. McGregor, W. Murchlson and W. E. gwlcky. - When the whistle of the steamer •summoned the excursionists to the dock the city band led the parade to ■ the waterfront playing a gay march,, and the air was full of fireworks, both ifrom shore and from the upper deck of the steamer, as the visitors em- 'ibarked. The hospitable 'hosts, lined -on shore, raised a ringing cheer for 'the people of Nelson, which was ©quailed by an answering cheer from the decks for Kaslo, swelled by the staccato blasts of the siren. Another selection by the city band completed ithe exchange of courtesies and as the steamer hacked from the wharf and swung on her heel, a handkerchief and hat salute, and more fireworks, touched off the bon voyage. A grand ball in the Eagle hall, Kaslo, with the assistance of Nelson's orchestra with probably 200 people in attendance, was due to follow the departure of (the steamer, while the excursionists enjoyed many a waltz and two-step in the cleared saloon on the homeward trip, Victor McMahon and Harold Klnahan ministering to the musical requirements of the occasion. Altogether, the annual excursion of .he Nelson Baseball club to Kaslo was a pronounced success. The credit for *carrying It out must be given to the committee of management, consisting of W. R. McLean, C. F. Walmsley, Geo. Lapointe, H. J. Bishop and Nap. Mal- lette. A large merit of praise must also be accorded to the Great Northern Railway company and to Its representative' H. E. Douglas, for the excellent steamer service. Launch Races. One of the features of the day was the launch raceB. The first one, the long distance run from Nelson to Kaslo, was completed just at noon, the competing boats racing across the line Just ahead of and almost under the bows of the. excursion steamer. But three boatB were entered, the Flora towned by S. Underhlll of Ainsworth; the Krao II owned by A. D. Wheeler of 'Ainsworth, and it he Atlanta owned by 'J-Ion. F. E. Grosvenor of Riondel. The Krao II giving the Flora 25 minutes handicap, and the Atlanta giving her 160 minutes. The Flora left Nelson, with Mr. Underhlll, at 6:50 o'clock in the morning, and the Krao II with Mr. jand Mrs. Wheeler aboard, left 25 mln- tutes later. The 'Atlanta did not start sas difficulties with the engine developed. 11 Off Woodbury point, on the main Jake, the Krao II overtook the Flora, ^ut the latter dropped Into the former's wake and would not be shaken 'off. From that stage to the finish line the launches were never more than a jcouple of boat lengths apart, and the Krao II finally crossed 10 seconds ln the lead, after a run of 5 hours, 4 minutes, 30 seconds, the Flora sweeping across just astern. Each launch was awarded a cup. The remaining race was a handicap /race to cross the lake at Kaslo and (return. The dual classification was dropped and all the boats were put into one race. The handicaps were allotted as follows: D. P. Kane's launch gave 17 minutes 20 seconds to A. D. Wheeler's Krao II, 13.45 to S. Underbill's Flora, 9.25 to W. N. Gallup's launch, 5.05 to W. Zwlcky's Alice E., £.40 to A. T. Garland's Verno and 3.|30 to P. H. Walsh's Margaret E. The course Is variously estimated at from ■three to three ahd a half miles. The contestants crossed the line, the race being run late ln the afternoon, Jn the following order: W. Zwicky, first, 34 minuutes 10 seconds; A. T. Garland, second, 34.il; P. H. Walsh, third, 34.17; D. P. Kane, 34.19; A. D. Wheeler, 34.37; W. N. jGallup, 35.12; S. Underhlll, 35.5_. The first three were awarded cups. All the contestants in this race but Messrs. Wheeler and Underhlll belong to Kaslo. The committee in charge of the flaunch races was composed of \V, E. Zwicky, P. H. Walsh, C. L. Stephenson and C. F. Sherwln. Trap Shooting. The trap shooting commenced as soon as the excursion arrived, being [held on the edge of the bluff, with a large crowd of spectators watching (the expert shots burst with unerring accuracy the clay pigeons sent soaring by the trap. Six events were shot tin each of which the prize money was divided in the usual way. in the list given below, Messrs.

MURDER PLOT To Assassinate King Manuel at Funeral Was Frustrated by Scotland Yard Feared Repetition of Lisbon Tragedy LONDON, May 24—That a desperate plot to assassinate King Manuel of Portugal during King Edward's funeral was frustrated by Scotland Yard was admitted tonight. It develops that in addition to guarding all the gathered monarchs against well known anarchists, the British police alarmed, placed an extra corps of police over King Manuel, fearing a repetition of the Lisbon tragedy in 1908, when Manuel's father and brother were shot to death. That their fears were well grounded was shown by the fact that members of the same band which killed Manuel's father followed Manuel ,0 London and were Immediately placed under arrest.

NELSON BOWLERS DO DEADLY EXECUTION Nelson Wins Cricket Match With Kootenay Club—Whole Team Dismissed for Nine Runs The annual cricket match between Nelson and the Kootenay cricket club was played yesterday, The feature of the game was the magnificent bowling of Stubbs and Bourke, the former taking five wickets for four runs, while the latter took five for one. Prom the commencement of the game Nelson showed that their practice has worked wonders, for Instead of the usual collapse and consequent tmall score, the two first batsmen. Stubbs and Kerr, put on 100 before they were parted. The game commenced at 11 a.m. Proctor won the toss and decided to send Nelson In. Stubbs and Kerr opened the batting to the bowling of "Whit- taker and Simmons. The scoring was rather slow in the commencement but after the boys had got their eye in runs came at a good pace. Both batsmen gave a couple of chances but apart from that played splendid cricket. The score rose gradually to 100 when Kerr waB splendidly caught out hy Sallery This ended the longest partnership on the local ground. Wilkinson took Kerr's place. Stubbs was the next man to leave, being caught in mid-off by Whlttaker. Bourke Joined Wilkinson and these two stayed together until luncheon hour, the score at that time helng 113 for 2. After luncheon Simmons and Noakes took charge of the ■bowling. Bourke was the first to leave, hut was closely followed by Wilkinson. The remaining batsmen although showing greatly Improved form were unable to do much with Noakes, who at this stage of the game was bowling remarkably well. The innings closed about 2:45, the score being 150. Noakes took 7 wickets for 46. Proctor's Innings Noakes and Harrison opened the batting for Proctor but the score had only reached 3 before Stubbs beat Harrison and at *he same total Bourke beat Noakes. This was the commencement of the collapse, the last wicket failing at the small total ofi 9. Besides the splendid bowling, the fielding of the home side was keen and a decided Improvement on anything they have ever shown in previous years. Bert Edwards kept wicket In splendid style. Proctor started their second venture with Harrison and Goodliffe to the bowling of Butler and Wilkinson and although doing considerably better than at their first venture, were altogether at sea with the bowling. The innings closed for 33. Butler took four wickets for 20 and Wilkinson five for 12. It is only fair to the visitors to state that they are handicapped in not being able to get much practice and although badly beaten expressed a desire for revenge at a future date. It Is a great. pity that this healthy evercise Is not better appreciated in the Kootenays, for although Nelson has such a strong team this season, and if today's form is anything to go by, a good propsect of a very successful season, it is hard to get anything like a good gate.

JOHN, N.B., May 24—Brakeman John Casey of Moncton was killed, a dozen people sustained minor Injuries and much damage "was done to rolling stock on the Intercolonial railway today in a collision at Nauwigewauk, 15 miles from here. It is a wonder more were not killed, Maritim* Express The trains colliding were the Maritime Express firom Moncton for St. John, and a surburban train from the city. The Maritime left Moncton 25 minutes late with Conductor Caffey in charge and Ed, Storey engineer. At Hampton Storey received orders to pass the suburban about five miles below. There the suburban too had orders. It Is said there was nothing in the orders as^o which train was to ■take the sldlSg and -which keep the main line but trainmen quote a new order issued only two days ago giving eastbound trains right of way. In thiB case the suburban was eastbound. However the suburban stopped at Nauwigewauk and the Maritime came around a curve at about 40 miles an hour. Stuck to His Post Storey, seeing the train ahead, applied the air brakes and stuck to hl_ poBt and came through unscathed while Fireman Culbertson jumped and also escaped. The express crashed into the suburban badly damaging both locomotives and one car of the suburban. Escaped Through Windows Next to the engine on the express was a baggage car, next a second class coach. The baggage car telescoped the second car, wrecking it and there It was that Brakeman Casey died. He Was on the second class platform and was crushed as the cars telescoped. He lived !bnt a minute or two. No one else was seriously hurt thought the passengers were shaken up. Some passengers were In the telescoped second class car but escaped through the windows, though some were cut. A remarkable' thing was that four tramps riding on the iback of the engine escaped unhurt. Clearing the Track A wrecking crew Is at work clearing the traok, but meanwhile trains can pass by the switch. Casey was a married man with a family. His home is in -Moncton. An inquest will fo_ held.

Teit, Ethnologist, Who Studies the North Thompson Indians— Mastered Chinook and Tribal Language. That there are sound reasons for the belief that the natives of Northwestern America and those of Northeastern Asia are related and that the results of scientific studies which are being conducted on both sides of the Behriag eea by representatives of American and British scientific institutions will go far to establish the theory on a basis ot tact, waa the statement of Mr. J. A. Teit, one of the foremost authorities on Indians in the Interior ot this province and coworker with Dr. Franz Boas, of Columbia university, who was in Victoria on his way to the Quinault reservation on the coast of the State ot Washington. There he will carry out a commission requiring him to gather hurriedly for a work which is now being prepared by an American Institution information relative to the ancient tribal boundaries and the areas covered by the various dialects of the Indians of that reservation. Indian Language In Asia 'According to Mr. Teit a group of tribes has been discovered on the coast of Asia who are linguistically American, despite the fact that they are surrounded by other tribes distinctly Asiatic in their language. This is one ot the pegs upon which the theory ot relationship is bung. Folk Lore. Recently Houghton, Mifflin, of Boston, published for the American Folk Lore society a volume by Teit on the traditions of the Thompson river In* dians. Since writing that he has gathered 300 other traditions handed down from generation to generation, some of whioh are identical with traditions of other tribes and with traditions of some of the Asiatic tribes, a fact which bas never yet been satisfactorily ex plained. He Is also at work on texts of the language of the Thompson river Indians, and the Dominion government will soon have him at work on a detailed map showing the boundaries of the tribes of this province. Rapidly Changing. Speaking of Dr. Boas* work, Mr. Teit said that when the researches and studies of all the workers now in the field have been completed, Dr. Boas will write his conclusions based on the findings. This work should be ready before long, and it will constitute tlie last word In the intimate study of the Indians of the Pacific coast, their history, customs crafts and languages. The work is being hurried as much as is consistent with accuracy, owing to the fact that within a few years much of the information needed will be past getting. The Indians are rapidly changing, traditions are no longer being preserved, and tribal customs have fallen before the advance of the white man. Mr. Teit declares that all the coast tribes have decreased since the whites first came among them about 1858. A few of the bands are holding their own, others are even increasing slightly, but the vast majority are falling off. The period of adjustment Is proving fatal to many of the tribes, but Mr. Teit believes that many of them will eventually adjust themselves to tbe customs of the whites and develop into useful and Intelligent citizens of this country and the United States. During his visit to Victoria this week Mr. Teit was the guest of Dr. New- combe, of Dallas road, of whose work among the coast Indians he holds a very high opinion. He will leave this evening for Seattle and will travel on at once to begin his labors. MINING IN8TITUTE AT GRAND FORKS On Thursday, May 26, the eighth general meeting of the western branch of the Canadian Mining Institute will be held In Grand Forks. Several papers having particular reference to the Boundary district will be read and discussed. C. E. LeRoy and I.. Relnecke, of the Dominion geological survey, will be present and take part in the proceedings. The former will contribute some notes on the geology of Phoenix camp, while the latter will take the West Fork of the Kettle river as his subject. Other papers expected are, respectively, on tlie early history of mining, in tho Boundary, the electric power transmission system of the district and probably some notes concerning local transportation facilities. WILL FALL BACK ON OLD MODELS Big Dress Reform Movement Hat Been Inaugurated In Venice Slgnora Rosa Genoni, a well known Venetian writer and society woman, has Just organized a League of Dress Reform which means that the members tali back on tbe antique Venetian models for their modern garments, Slgnora Genoni herself is a very handsome woman, beautifully formed and looking like Giorgione's Judith. Curiously enough, Slgnora Gejionl say 8 that she was led to open her campaign after seeing some tourists getting Into a gondola, "I had just come ont of the Doge's Palace, with my head full of what women used to be when my attention waa attracted to a group of women. They were standing with their backs to me five in a row, with short skirts, sack coats, very long like bodkin cases, and huge hats covering neck and shoulders. They crowded Into the gondola and went off, all that could be Been of them when seated being the tremendous flat hats, a blot on my beautiful Venice, "From that day I vowed that at least Venetian women should disgrace the city no more, If I could help it and began my campaign among personal friends who In turn pledged themselves to bring in their acquaintances. The members of the league have not yet appeared in public In their new garments but they wear them in their own homes and when receiving friends. Simple Arguments "My arguments are simple and have the advantage of illustration, so that all can see. I take my victims to my window facing the grand canal and above one of the big gondola stations and ask them to look at a certain woman. I ask them to observe her position; she cannot lean back because of the coat of mail she Is wearing in the Bhape of corsets. She has no waist, and seen from behind, no shoulders or neck, as the brim of her hat conceals them. After my pupils seem to have taken in thoroughly all 1 have said and pointed out, I take them before a reproduction of Baldassare Peruzzi's Penelope. 1 ask. them if there Is any comparison. I ask them to look at the line ot the bosom and of the hips. If nature gives us these beauties she surely does not intend us to distort them and hide them. But even putting It on the ground of comfort of beauty, I need not point out how far superior the old style was. "If it will be any consolation to women I will say that, so far our men lolk have enthusiastically approved our reform. There is no monotony as there is in the generally accepted modes, for we do not prescribe any special form merely that there shall be a return to the antique tempered by modern restraint. Our stuffs may not be so costly, but our colors may be the same; and too, what could be more beautiful than the old Venetian mode of dressing the hair? "Our dresses although modelled from the ancient fashions, will be different for various occasions. Of course home gowns were not so generally reproduced in paintings, but they exist in descriptions and we have adopted them, with some modifications for present needs and while feeling ourselves charming for our mankind, we also feel comfortable. Besides, anything is better than the straight up and down sheaths of today and we feel we are doing something to combat the modernizing of our city which is unfortunately too fast losing its antique charm. "If I can take my reform beyond the confines of Venice I shall be only too glad to feel that I am 'femlniste' ln the sense that I am benefitting my sisters in bondage to the corset. It Is beauty and appropriateness that I advocate and considering the short time I have been at it I have had considerable success."

RELIGION OF .RANGE IS INFIDELITY Says French Protestant Pa«tor—Children Not Baptised Nor Allowed to Attend Sunday School The fact Is probably often overlooked In this country that French 'Protestant- Ism as well as French Catholicism was thrown into disorganization by the dissolution of the Concordat. Before that event the Protestant as well as the Catholic clergy received their certificates from the secular authorities and their nomination to any post was not definite until confirmed by a decree signed by the president of the republic. "So far as Protestantism was specially concerned," says Pastor George Dleny in the Homlletio Review (May) "Its faculties of theologly (Paris and Montauban) formed part ot the university. Under these conditions the church became more and more accustomed to rely not on its own strength and resources but to expect very much if not all trom the state. "Atheism," he writes In the course of the grave article, "is advancing and is becoming a formidable power. Atheism is now a fashion and every one knows what influence is exercised in France by 'la mode.' In many circles to avow oneself a believer would be to insure being covered with ridicule and this de* rlslon which the French know so well how to inflict Is of all things most dreaded. Atheism is very strongly organized. Nearly all over France socle- ties of free thinkers not only bind themselves to refuse all religious intervention, as, for instance; at marriages and at funerals, but also to prevent the members of their families -from having any intercourse with the priests from any motive whatever. It is easy to recognize the immediate effect of such restrictions. Children are not baptized and do not enter any Sunday school. Women no longer attend religious services, prevented by their husbands who have quitted the practice of worship. Marriages and burials are observed with civil rites only. Children are trained to hate God nnd those who apeak of Him. It must be added that French Fremasonry is absolutely anti-religious and is both a powerful aid to Infidelity and also a great factor in Its organization. The school becomes a potent element in propagating free thought. I speak more particularly of the primary public, free communal school, rather than of the college- or the lycee, although even in these also an approximate condition ot things exists but the danger is not so great as la the communal establishments. Under the pretext of neutrality In the matter of religion and in order to withdraw the younger generation from the Influence of the Catholic schools (an Influence politically anti-republican) lay teaching has been rendered obligatory. All religious objects and everything that could be suggestive of religion, have been withdrawn from the schools as well as from the tribunals. The teachers are forbidden to speak of religious topics, so that Christian teachers are unable to mention the name of God before their pupils. "Infidelity In France Is, It I may say so the religion of the state. The government is frankly and officially atheist to such a degree that in the chamber of deputies a minister dared to say in words which have become celebrated and which caused deep Indignation In many circles, that 'the lights of heaven which had given to men lying hopes were henceforth and forever extinguish- ed.' And this discourse was such a success that the chamber, if I am not mistaken, voted that it should be placarded in all the communes throughout the country. And it is well understood that a functionary or an officer who may too openly exhibit his religious proclivities by frequenting church will receive a bad mark aud will more or less rlHk his career. Free thought has made common cause with Socialism. The Christian social movement has endeavored to diminish the evil, but it Is always dangerous to mix religion and political questions and Socialism is one of the latter. It Is certain that free thought, having entered into league with Socialism has thereby gained immensely in power".

O, PETERS, Manager EUROPEAN CONCERT TO BE REVIVED Russian Foreign Minister Sets Himself to Achieve a Very Formidable Task—Review of Policies. LONDON. May 34.—To realise the im- ,'• portance and magnitude of the task, lm- 8oB_d upon the Russian foreign minister i his recent diplomatic encounter with Austria* It Is necessary to go back to the sources of European policy with regard I to the Near East as it obtains today. | These are to be found In the events of f, the years USB and 1840, when on Mehemet ' All threatening Constantinople, the weak- ness of Ottoman power stood revealed and the Independence of the Ottoman empire became recognised by the great powers as an essential element In the balance of j' power In Europe. For the purpose ot providing for the defence of the sultan's throng and for placing the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, as well as the Turkish capital, In security against all aggression, four of the powers thereupon combined, and the principle underlying the object they had In view became accordingly embodied ln the public law of Europe, and In such law has since remained. The political court thus Initiated was maintained in its integrity until the Independent action of Russia that led up to the Crimean war, and during tho course of that struggle the powers met at Vienna with a view to devising safeguards against RuHBlan preponderance in the future, and with the object of connecting the existence of the Ottoman empire even more completely with the Europoan equilibrium. The fundamental ideas which presided over the deliberations,, and which continue to define European policy In regard to the Near East were then carefully stated. And It was recognised by Russia herself at these proceedings that the balance ot power in Europe embraced the eastern question, and that the duties of European statesmen were to consolidate the position in the Near East ln a manner to put an end to the rivalries of the great powers. And the International Jurisdiction was found to nave lost none of Its authority when, 23 years later, on the termination of the Russo-Turkish war, Great Britain took the lead In objecting to the ind.- pendent action of Russia In altering the map of southeastern Europe ln the terms of the treaty of San Stefano. In that case, the British government, in Lord Salisbury's despatch of April 1, 1878, took the stand, Justified by precedent, that any treaty concluded by Russia and the Porte affecting the treaties of 1856 and 1871, must be a European treaty, and would not be valid without the assent of tbe powers, and in so far as the arrangements were calculated to modify European treaties, and to affect general and British interests, her majesty's government were unable to recognize In them any validity, unless they were made the subject of a European agreement. The Treaty of Paris. This Is European policy ln regard to the Noar East, as established by the conferences that culminated ln the treaty of Paris, and ns affirmed by those that gave rise to the treaty of Berlin, and it is to the honor and credit of Great Britain that her statesmen took a predominant part tn the International councils enunciating It, and more especially contributed, by their courage and limine.., to lay the foundations of the periods of peace which followed. In each case the preponderance of Russia was the danger to be met, and so effectual were the results of these compacts that they restored the European equilibrium upon such conditions of permanency that it was not disturbed in the one case for more than two decades and In the other fur nearly three. It Is curious to note that the latest Infraction of the European concert so well preserved, has come not from Russia, but from that power which sought a special position In the Vienna conference upon the grounds that it was .always faithful to its engagements and to the principles which It laid down." The political equilibrium is now, in fact, disturbed by Austria, and tho disturbance has come through the Independent action of that state In altering without the consent of the powers, the political status of the two Turkish provinces, Bosnia and Hersegovlna, a status given to them at the Berlin congress. But though the violation of public law Is ln this case no less a subject for public vindication than It was on the occasion of its Infraction by Russia, a different sequence of events is ensuing. Closely following upon the action of the dual empire, and true no doubt to the traditions of the foreign office, Sir Edward Grey, ln his speech at Wooler, on Oct. 7, 1908, refused to recognise the right of any power or state to alter an International treaty without tho assent of other parties to it, and these principles were affirmed by the Erime minfnster Ave days later ln the ouse of commons, and accordingly a statement was Issued from the foreign office on Oct. 6, 1908. to the effect that the exchange of views which had taken place between M. Isvolsky and the foreign secretary, had resulted in a complete agreement as to what should be done to deal with the situation which had arisen in the near East, and that It was agreed that a conference would be necessary. But Austria declined to accept a confer ence unless she arrived at an understanding with Turkey first, and at that point the policy of his majesty's advisers began to diverge from the policy of the Aberdeen and Beaconsfleld ministries. The Balkan Trouble. Lord John Russet and the Earl of Beaconsfleld had both maintained the inability, ln the face of European jurisdiction, of any of the powers to effect separate engagements altering the status quo in the Balkan peninsula, ana asserting the authority of the public law or j_urope, had, in words which subsequent events showed were not empty in their meaning, made a stand for "sound principles," But the present government have not maintained these high traditions In dealing with the Bosnian difficulty, and have thereby admitted the right of separate governments to modify the political status of the Balkan area, provided the consent is obtained of those peoples whose Interests are more immediately affected, for what could be nearer to the abandonment of the principle of the European concert than the words ln which Mr. Asqulth sounded the retreat of the cabinet from the position taken up by the foreign office in committing Itself to a conference? He said at the Guildhall on Nov. 9, 1908, that the British government had no prejudice against, and no preference for, any particular method by which a settlement might be reached. , . They had recognized from the lirst that it was for Turkey to consider for herself any proposals that might be made to her, and If Austria or Bulgaria were to arrive at a direct understanding with Turkey wnlch would be acceptable to her, the way would be smoothed over to a general settlement. The consequence of the prime minister's utterance was that the foreign office left as It were diplomatically en fair, Sir Edward Grey could only say as he did at Scarborough, on Nov. 19, 1908, that he trusted the conference would dispose of the difficulties, but "you cannot force a conference and yet have a satisfacory result." In view of the platonlc attitude thus so unexpectedly assumed by this country in regard to the Near East, the difficulties of the part Russia has been called upon to play have been immeasurably increased. Prince Gortchakow in 1856 foretold the time when this country might serve as a means of the defence of Turkey against those who would menace her elsewhere, and the time seems now to have come when, Instead of Austria seeking guarantees against the dangers of Turkey from the side of Russia, Russia Is driven to guarantee against those dangers of Turkey from the side of Austria. Once again It Is necessary to rebuild the Balkan peninsula Into the equilibrium of Europe If peace Is to be maintained, nnd this Is the task which At. Isvolsky, a European conference failing, has set himself to fulfil. What Is his measure of success Is as yet unknown, but If he has succeeded In restoring the foundations of diplomatic contact between his country and Austria, he has at least gone some way toward drawing from her that political detachment in her relations with Turkey which the public weal forbids, and ln leading her back once more Into the councils of Europe. Should misgivings, however, arise with regard to the value of M. Isvolsky's achievement in this direction, made under such discouraging conditions, it will he less with regard to the work itself than the permanency of It. But it is satisfactory to know that his efforts are not confined to the re-establlshment of the European concert. For, as an additional safeguard of Ottoman integrity, he is bringing about a consolidation of Balkan Interests in order that powers of resistance against aggression may be cultivated In the peninsula itself, and in this endeavor the current Interchange of royal and diplomatic courtesies shows he Is In great measure calculated to succeed.

The vessel not only proved herself exceedingly fast, hut also most seaworthy and comfortable, a large crowd was waiting the arrival of the vessel. One ot the first to board her after her arrival was D. D. Mann, vice-president of the Canadian Northern. On the Pacific Also A large number of newspaper men hud come Up on the vessel irom Quebec and In response to a vote of thanks Mr. Mann made a brief address in which he intimated that the plans of the Canadian Northern are more fat- reaching than for a mere Atlantic service. Mr. Mann in fact Intimated that this was hut the beginning of a steamship service to be run in connection with the future Canadian Northern transcontinental railway which would include fast vessels on both the Atlantic and Pacific and also on the great lakes. Mr. Mann said he hoped that by the time the railway was completed from ocean to ocean the steamship service between Great Britain and Canada would be in good running order and that they would be prepared for further extensions. Capt, Roberts stated that ibetween Bristol and Cape Race the Royal Edward averaged 19.7 knots, which constitutes a new record for the Canadian route and shows that the new boats for the Canadian Northern can maintain the same speed on the Atlantic that they did on the Mediterranean. In fact Capt. Roberts states that on Monday the Royal Edward reeled offi 480 knots in the gulf, an average speed of 20 knots an hour, which is easily a record for gulf navigation. The C.N.R. Twine The Royal Edward and th© Royal George are the nucleus of the Canadian Northern Royal line of passenger vessels and are twin ships. These fine liners are 645 feet long with 66 feet beam, and registered tonnage of 12,000 tons. Their triple turbine engines can speed them with a minimum of vibration at more than 20 knots an hour, They were built in Glasgow and especially adapted to Canadian-European business. Everything that is latest and best in equipment is to be seen on the Canadian Northern boats. As to the boat deck, nothing is wanting ln the caDe. The regency style prevails. The paneling is in carved oak. The furnishings aro examples of the Louis XV style. Tbe lighting deepens the effect, the ports are covered and curtained. Forward of the cafe is the Marconi office.

Where else on a holiday are so many avenues ot delight open aa in the Kootenay? For the mountain cumber mere are mountains. For the forest lover here are forests of fir and cedar, balsam and birch, wild flowers and fruit orchards. Do brooks attract? They are here in hundreds and In every variety falling from lofty heights and with a. thousand cascades. Do rivers and rushing rapids or sweeping waterfalls? They are here too. For the angler there are fishing streams. For the canoeist or tlie devotee of the motor boat here are the very waters of his desire,—the winding streams and the open expanse of the lake bordered with bays and cliffs. To these and many other charms, the blue skies, the bright sunshine and the exhilarating air add the final touch. Happy is the man whose lot is cast in such a land.

BRITISH COLUMBIA'S FLOUR MILLS The Winnipeg Commercial Says: But a wider survey as to what may be the Pacific wheat milling field of the future is the subject of editorial consideration by the Edmonton Journal. It discusses the subject from the viewpoint of what will be the line of least resistance for the wheat. of the prairies to reach Pacific tidewater. Handling Alberta wheat over the heavy grades of the Crow, much less the Kicking Horse, will never be feasible as a commercial proposition, It argues. The Yellowhead route must as a natural consequence put the southern route out of business. The grain famine in Mexico is bringing a certain amount of Alberta red over tlie heavy grades to Vancouver, but the real western movement of grain cannot commence until tlie Canadian Northern with its easy grades and direct line to the Pacific is completed. The opening of the Panama canal will brintf the westward movement of grain to its greatest proportions. Edmonton will be the nat_r.il assembling centre and ihe routo will be via the Yellownoad, North Thompson and Fraser rivers to New Westminster. Hsuvs the natural location for ths flour mills of the Pacific will, the Journal concludes, be Burrard In* let or the Fraser delta. Tacoma and Portland are the examples on the Pacific coast today. Does our Edmonton contemporary imagine that the C. P. R. will sit down and see the wheat of Alberta go to the Pacific over other railways? We do not. We venture to say that the C. P. R. will see to it that it obtains a route from the prairie to the coast "that will be able to compete with any other. There Is really no question about that. The only question is what route will the C. P. R. take. There are only two to choose from. The grades on the Kicking Horse pass and Rogers pass are out of the question. Tlie new C. P. R. outlet must follow either the Crow's Nest pass or the Yellowhead. The Crow's Nest pass has the advantage of giving a much more direct line from the great wheat growing areas of southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan. If equal grades can.be obtained grain can be hauled more cheaply and expeditiously and with a ©mailer equipment How do the grades compare? Tbe highest point in the Crow is at a greater altitude than the highest point ln the Yellowhead. But that does not necessarily mean easier grades. The rise to the higher altitude may be equally gradual. Very had grades may exist in an abrupt approach to a low height, and easy grades may. lead up to a greater height if the approach Is longer or more even. The grades on the Yellowhead route are admittedly good. Our information Is that practically equal grades may be found on the Crow route. They are not found on the line ln operation as it now stands, but it Is stated that they can he secured without undue expenditure.' Eventually, no.doubt the C. P. R. will have a line through the Yellowhead to take grain from northern Alberta and north western Saskatchewan. But it is not doing much in that direction yet; and if it is to have its new line ready for the completion of the Panama canal, the G. T. P. and the C. N. R., it has not much time to lose. We may be sure that it will not wait till then to begin construction that will require several years to complete. On the other hand tlie C. P. R. has begun work on the Kettle River line. Is it not possible that this affords some indication as to how the company proposes to meet the competition of the rival roads? The Kettle River line is to he completed within three years and with the reduction of grades at some points on the present C. P. R. lines in southern British Columbia it may provide a satisfactory route. If so where will be the best point for (milling Without going exhaustively into the question it may be mentioned that the Ogllvie company have their greatest mills not at Montreal but at Winnipeg. The Lake of the Woods company have their chief mills at Kenora, The big new company lately organized in the east Is to mill not at the 'Seaboard but on the Welland canal. The considerations which determined ihe choice of site in these cases may be expected to favor the choice of Nelson as a site for milling in transit on the Crow's Nest-Coast route. EDITORIAL NOTE. Winnipeg Commercial: "The interior towns of British Columbia rich in rtJie potentials for developing cheap water power are entertaining lively hopes that they will become wheat milling centres, in the day when the trade of the Pacific calls for vast quantities of flour to supply the demands of the markets of the Orient and also of South America. The Nelson News has pointed out how admirably situated that city is for becoming a milling centre. It has cheap electric power, developed at Bonnington Falls; it has favorable rail communication with the prolific wheat fields of Southern Alberta through the Crow's Nest Pass; the building of the Kettle River Valley line from the boundary country to tlie Nicola Valley branch of the Canadian Pacific railway giving connection with the main line of the C. P. R. at Spence's Bridge will give a through line of favorable gradients to the Pacific seaboard. These advantages seem to make a good case for Nelson."

After the first two rounds the fight was never in doubt so far as Lauder was concerned hut the latter showed lack of condition towards the last and could not put over a dreamland pneh. Lip to the sixth round It was an even break when Lauder sent in a left hook to the jaw and Standon went down for the count of nine. He got up and Lauder rushed him with a right uppercut to the jaw and a left to the chin. Standon went down again and was very groggy when he came up. Lauder went after him and rushed him to the ropes, with ineffectual punches to the head and body. Standon showed great head-work hy sticking it out, covering up cleverly. In the seventh round Lauder was told to wade in and finish his man as Standon was very groggy, coming up weak. Billy ruBhed repeatedly but though landing repeatedly had not the strength to score a knockout. In the next round Standon showed up stronger and kept Improving until the last round when the jabbing started to tell on him and It looked aB.though he would go.out but hy this time Lauder who was not in any too good shape was weakening and they both could not do more than to wrestle around the ring, Lauder occasionally landing a jolt to the head.

New Marathon Record TORONTO, May 24—Abhle Wood the diminutive Montrealer won tbe second Canadian Derby Marathon at the Island Stadium today from a large and classy field ot the best long distance men in America. He also established a new Marathon record of 2:34:10 2-5 for the 26 miles 385 yards, the previous record of 2:39:47 being set toy John D. March in the Derby Marathon last year held in the same grounds. Hans Hoi- mer of Halifax was second, 1 minute 24 1-4 seconds behind Wood. The third man was Kollmalner of Finland, over two minutes later; St. Ives was fourth; Jonansen, the Swede, fifth; and Pat DIneen of Boston, sixth. The crowd was small not more than 6000 being ln attendance. Wood led the first mile and surrendered to Johnson who held It to the seventh, which was covered ln 39:25.

No Wires From Races It is officially announced by the Ontario Jockey club that no telegraph wires, instruments or operators will be allowed in the Woodbine track at the race meeting from May 24 to 31. This means that the newspapers will have to depend on messengers or telephone service for transmission of the results or else establish a telegraph office outside the track. The public will not be able to send private messages either. The new Miller law does not require that the wires shall he excluded but the O.J.C. has determined that no news shall he sent out to the pool rooms from their track, although it will be an easy matter for the news to be sent from just outside the track.

Representatives of the church federation were present and protested against the recommendation. TRIBUTE TO VICTORIA DAY. MONTREAL, May 24.—A remarkable tribute to the memory of Queen Victoria was paid today by the 10 ocean vessels now in the port of Montreal. Every ship was dressed with hunting, tlie Union Jack Hying at each topmast. The river and local boats also followed suit and as a result the harbor was ablaze with color.

Throwing up four disks at once, he punctured them all, and from his hip be tumbled a tin can all around the lot by bullets. He occupied a half hour very agreeably. The committee in charge of the shooting was composed of D. E. Desmond S. A. Hunter, E. H. Latham, C. J. Qulnan and Dr. A. W. Bagnell. Field Events. Scattered through the afternoon and evening were a number of athletic contests, chiefly foot races. Those for adults took place on Main street, early in the afternoon. The 100 yards dash had three entries and waa won toy H. Bishop, F. Daschbach being second, both being of Nelson. The 200 yards dash was also won by H. Bishop, H. McKay, a Phoenix runner, taking second honors. The children's contests were held in the evening and had the following results: Boys 100 yards dash—First, Edward Murray, Phoenix; second, Frank Delves, Nelson. BoyB throwing baseball—First, Edward Murray, Phoenix; second, Ernest Vallance. Kaslo. Girls 100 yardB dash—FIrBt, Irmgard Dedolph, Kaslo; second, Louise Hendricks, Kaslo.

Hunter. The other portion was directed by the same committee that handled the shooting and the baseball. Music a Feature. That the Nelson city band was one of the essential elements in the enjoyment of the day anyone in Kaslo last evening was prepared to affirm. "That band Is a credit to Nelson, and the city should be proud of it," was the substance of a frequently repeated comment. At every stopping place on the upward trip, the city band, on the steamer's upper deck, regaled the natives with a selection, and Us work at Kaslo commenced on landing. The band stand is at the lower part of Main street overlooking the water, nnd taking Its station there, the band, under the leadership of Fred L. Irwin, band master, held the crowd for an hour or more during the trap shooting. Then it led the way to the hall grounds in the upper town, and continued to delight the large throngs. In the evening, again, It took up Its station In front of the Kaslo hotel, where both baseball teams were quartered and gave a long conceit, the street being thronged throughout its continuance. The band can have almost anything it wants at Kaslo. A large selection of marches were played throughout tlie day besides which were the following selections: "Semiramide," Rossini; "Poet and Peasant," Suppee; clarinet duet, "Na- nlne," E. Marshall, rendered by R. A. Dyke and E. Roach; ."Sweet Old Songs" Dalby; "Washington Grey's March," Panella: "Norma," Bllllni. The committee in charge of the musical part of the entertainment, and which also arranged for the grand ball in the evening, was composed of A. T. Garland, S. A. Hunter and W. H. Burgess. Fishing Competition. A competition that was not spectacular, but which was interesting enough to the participants, started on Monday, was in progress all day yesterday, and will continue today ending at midnight tonight. It is the visitors competition for the largest salmon for which the Kaslo sports committee offers a medal. All fish entered must be fairly caught, with rod and reel, according to the regulations of the Kaslo Rod and Reel club. Quite a number of good fish were entered yesterday. S. P. Pond of Nelson, entered a 10 pound fish. Roy Goodwin, also of Nelson, got 40 pounds for six fish, the largest being a 10 pounder. J. A. Smith of Nelson, brought home last night a 12 pound salmon which he secured after the hall game.

Finally, his doctor could do nothing more for him and advised him to go to the hospital. A neighbor, who had used Gin Pills —but read Mr. MacPherson's letter. "It affords me more than ordinary pleasure to convery, not only to yourselves but also to all sufferers from Kidney and Urinary Troubles, the instant and complete cure that Gin Pills effected in my case. "I suffered untold misery even when under treatment from the best doctors forever ten months, and nothing seemed to do me any good or relieve my painful condition. My trouble waa Inflammation of Kidneys and Bladder. "I finally determined to take my doctor's advice and go to the Victoria Hospital at Halifax, for treatment. Two days, however, before my intending departure for the hospital, a neighbor called and, happening to have a Gin Pill in his pocket, insisted on my taking it. I did so and six hours after taking it, the results and benefits I derived were simply nothing more or less than miraculous. Instead of going to the Hospital, I sent for a box of Gin Pillswith the result that I am a cured man. I recommend Gin Pills to every one suffering from Kidney Trouble." LEWIS MacPHERSON.

The great event of the Victoria Day celebration at Kaslo was the great match between the Nelson and Phoenix baseball nines the match that has Ions been looked forward to and Indeed brought the excursion, in a manner, into being. Tlie grounds were well filled with enthusiastic fans, nearly half being ladles, and the aforesaid fans were not afraid to express their opinion fluently at any time ou anv issue remotely connected with the game, and their sympathies were about evenly divided between the two teams. This guaranteed a fair contest in eveiy sense of the word and a good brand of baseball speedily intoxicated the crowd. For about seven innings it was a ' try good brand of baseball indeed; then something dropped. The Phoenix men, captained by J. Strutzei, sported a blue uniform, while the Nelson boys, under H. Grady wore the familiar maroon. Doth teams warmed up well in preliminary practice nnd the game started out well, with snappy, clean-cut work all round. The first three men Phoenix sent up died without reaching first, two flying out, while Blue brought out applause by fanning one. The Phoenix team, when In the field, proved pretty nearly as nifty, and Nelson retired with Daschbach marooned on first. Action commenced In the second Inning Phoenix scoring Perkins, largely through the willow, and tlie luck of a fielder bumping Into the fence. Then the Nelson lads had a turn at scoring, also helped by their opponents work. Blue walking, and scoring on nn error, which advnnced A. Bishop to third. Bishop was scored by Phillips' sacrifice. Nelson was thus leading, but not an earned run had yet been scored. In the third session, Phoenix drew nothing, but Nelson, by means of free passes to first, given to H. Bishop and Daschbach by Strutzer two very flossy steals by H. Bishop and a two-bagger by Battell added two more marks, In the fourth, Phoenix got Kleve, the big first baseman, across the plate, he having wisely floated a two-bagger over the fence and followed up scoring when the ball missed Grady, or Grady the ball. Morally. It was not an earned run. Kleve lifted another two-bagger In the fifth, over the fence, scoring Strutzei and Merrill. The first started with a dead ball, and the latter on balls, so far more than half of the game there wns not an earned run. In the meantime the fourth spasm had yielded a run for Nelson and the fifth two more, but none of them clean. Both sides took a rest from scoring ln the sixth. t Then opened Nelson's hatting rally, when Daschbach and A. Bishop came to the front of the house with two- baggers, while Lapointe gracefully singled, and when H. Bishop, Daschbach and Lapointe had all chalked up scores it was found that the latter two had made the first earned runs of the game. With the More, now 0-4 In Nel-, son's favor, and but two innings to play, it looked pretty much as if the Wednesday Specials $6.50 Skirts fOfz $3.50 Separate skirts In Serges and Panamas.

Up to this point Blue and Strutzei had heen pretty even in their work, and were indeed ornaments to the slab. Blue seemed to have a cutting edge over the Boundary man. Both teams were playing on their toes so far as fielding went, the Nelson team considerably better, and tbe game was first-class and everyone was satisfied. Then Blue's arm gave out, and a small mutter of seven runs came through— for Phoenix—without a man being out. All the runs were not the fault of Bine's arm—two of them were the offspring of beautiful bone-headed plays by two members of the team. At the same time those Boundary men were nearly taring (lie cover off (lie ball, after the bases bad once been filled. The session ended somehow, tbe team collecting itself together and sitting firmly on the lid. Strutzei held Nelson down for another inning, and then another slaughter appeared imminent, for Blue filled tiie bases ngain. and two men reached home, but he stiffened, and got out at that point the score being 13-9. The Nelson nine then showed Its grit, setting out. to recover the lost ground. Slamming Strutzei brought in two runs, but they were two short of the necessary number, so Phoenix bore off the honors. Al. Gibson of Nelson, the mutual choice for umpire handled the indicator in a satisfactory manner. Dave Chapman, Nelson's new pitcher, who has not. yet been in uniform, held down a sent on tbe bench, acting as scorer. Magistrate Williams was with the Phoenix team as manager, while W. R. McLean of Nelson, looked aftei his bonnle charges well.

The number of lacrosse makers is limited and it takes some time to educate a man to make la* crosse sticks. You can readily see what the effect of not having sufficient makers is when It comes to furnishing a supply of sticks which no one ever dreamed would be so large. However, we expect to double our staff next year and others will do the same and we hope all demands will be met. Lacrosse Sticks for Boys It Is possible that 1 may go through to tbe coast in September with the Manufacturers' association and if I do I intend dropping off at Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton to make arrangements for the distribution of lacrosse sticks at these different points. We will arrange to furnish all hoys with lacrosse sticks at far below cost Now, it may seem strange to you that people will sell their wares below cost but when you consider that now we have the game moving along so nicely it will only be a few years when these same boys will be men and something can be made out of their equipment. I hope to arrange to furnish all boys up to teu years of age with a first class hickory stick at 25 cents and all boys up to 16 and 17 with stickB at 50 cents. These prices are only half the coet of these sticks if 'bought In the ordinary way, but we all realize tbat an effort should be made to boom the good old national game and now since we have started we cannot stop until it is puc ln the position which it should occupy as Canada's national game.

VANCOUVER, May 24—New Westminster won the opening game of the British Columbia Lacrosse league series at Queen's Park, New Westminster, this afternoon after one of tlie closest and most stubbornly contested exhibitions in the history of the game on the coast. Battle of Defence. As the score of 2-1 would indicate, it was a battle of defences. Both teams shaped up magnificently In defence and it was only (the dashing tactics of tho world's champions that pulled them out on top and then only by the smallest possible majority. There was no score in the first quarter but Westminster won the game In tbe second quarter when they tallied twice. In bhe third quarter Vancouver secured a goal and the final quarter was brilliant example of how to prevent scores by both teams. Vancouver had all the better of the first, third and final quarters but Its home fell down. Broken 8houlder. Tom Rennie ran into a hard body check by Johnny Howard In the second quarter and retired with a broken shoulder blade. He will be out of the game for six weeks and it la just pos- Bible that he will not be fit for the Mlnto cup series with Montreal. His loss will be a hard one to the Westminster team for he was about the best they had in the field. Ground Wet, The game was not very rough. Rain fell before and during first half and grounds were wet and slippery which was responsible for a lot of the heavy work, players falling all over the field at times. The teams lined up the same as at the last exhibition game, except that Sandy Gray wns at goal for Westminster and Galbraith took Feeney's place and for Vancouver Adamson took Ravey's place. Many penalties were imposed by Referee Dltchburn, Vancouver getting a total of 50 minutes and Westminster 67 minutes. From New Westminster. NEW WESTMINSTER, May 24—By a score of two goals to one, Westminster defeated Vancouver In a hard fought lacrosse match tbls afternoon, the teams being evenly .matched. The salmon bellies had tbe advantage of home guards and can hold their feet better on wet grass. The locals scored their two goals in the second quarter while Vancouver secured their lone one in the third. Six men on each side were penalized three for twenty minutes for fighting. Tom Rennie, Westminster's centre, suffered a broken shoulder blade, the result of body checking by Howard. He will be off the game for six weeks. Dave Gibbons, Vancouver's goal tender, was laid out for a few minutes. Crowd of Spectators. In spite of Inclement weather nearly five thousand people attended the match. Close followers of the game believe that the teams are so evenly matched that tbe leadership of the league should see-saw all tho season. The Lineup. New Westminster— R HOa District Registrar.

And now let us consider the case of Miss G„ who was cured of her ailment and whose romance terminated happily through Dr. Brill's achievement in interpreting what at first appeared to be a very ridiculous dream. We will let pr, Brill tell it. He describes it as an illustration of the relation of the dream to tlie neurosis, which is the subject of his article. Miss G., 28 years old, American, came to me In January, 1908. because she had heen very nervous for about three months. Her familv history showed that her family died of nephritis, and had a 'stroke' (left hemiplegia, a few months before he died. She had been well until three months he- fore. Since then she had suffered from Insomnia, Irritability, loss of appetite, headache, uncalled for worry, crying .pells, and anxious expectation. Her mother stated that she had entirely changed, and she expressed pessimistic ideas, often repeating that she would like to die. "Examination showed all the Bjrrnptoms enumerated. The patient was pretty, she showed no stigmata, and was above the average In Intelligence. While reciting her story she showed the typical belle indif- ferenco often found In hysteria. She smiled when I asked her why she felt so depressed, nnd could give no reason for It. She knew that she really had nothing to worry about, that she had everything to live for, yet she could not 'shake off the blue feeling.' "One of the most distressing thoughts was that something might happen to her mother. Whenever her mother was out of her sight she thought of all sorts of sad possibilities, and as a result of this Bhe showed an abnormal affection for her mother. To those acquainted with the language of hysteria thla means just the opposite. It was merely a compensation for the wish that she might not lose her mother, and as we shall see later there was a reason for that wish. Physically there was nothing worth mentioning. I diagnosticated the case as a mild anxiety hysteria with Imperfect conversion. "I saw her n number of times, but made no progress In the treatment. To my questions she always answered; 'I feel about the same.' 1 then thought of psychanaly- sls, and with that in view I asked her to write out her dreams and bring them to me. She was sure that she never dreamed except when her stomach was out of order, but promised to comply with my request if ever she could, and one day she brought me the following dream: **I dreamed that I wns in a lonely country plnce and was anxious to reach my home in Lleonow, or Liiconor Bay, but could not set there.

NELSON NEWS Of THE DAY (Additional local news notes on page .,) The first provincial convention of the Ladies of the Maccabees, held in Victoria, was closed by a publlo meeting in the Victoria theatre, when Miss West delivered an Interesting lecture on the subject, "Hard Fact Made Attractive." The convention was a great success from every point of view. Delegates were present from ail over the province. The chief resolution submitted by the convention, under the BuperviBlon of their convener, Mrs. Minnie A. Ritchie, was that which referred In touching and impressive manner to the death of King Edward VII. A copy ot the resolution will be sent to the royal family. Miss West, who endeares herself to all who have the pleasure of meeting her, will address the public of Nelson on the evening of May Si. A lady staying at the Strathcona under the nom de plume of Miss Malcom Kerr waB understood, on information from various sources, to he the Dowager Duchess of Marlborough. The Information was confirmed when an old acquaintance who happened to be staying at the same hotel, arriving a day or two later, came up to speak to her and, unaware that she was travelling incognito, addressed her under her usual designation. Lady Marlborough and her travelling companion, "Miss Mad- dock," were delighted to meet him and also forgot about the Incognito for the time being. In conversation, the duchess expressed herself as more delighted with Nelson and Its surrounding, than any uLher place she hud visited on her trip. Everything was charming, sho said, and wlille she had Intended to stay for only u night sUe remained two or three days. Thomas Sargent went to Kaslo yesterday morning in lils launch. On the way back in tlie afternoon he was struck by tlie storm at Ainsworth and spent an Interesting halt hour. Finally, however, he pulled through without mishap. Prof. Judd ami-Mrs. Watt, lecturers of the provincial department of agriculture, who will address the Farmers' Institute, and Woman's Institute twice tomorrow, arrived in the city last night and are guests at the Strathcona. AT THE THEATRES. The James Fax Concert Company Give Finished Performance. An exceedingly pleased and enthusiastic audience greeted Jimmy Fax, the celebrated humorist, and his excellent concert company at the opera house last evening. The entertainment was a lirst class performance, Mr. Fax being supported by an exceptionally strong company of artists. The program was varied enough to please everyone. Jimmy, of course, was the chief attraction, and he demonstrated beyond a doubt his wonderful power of portraying all the characters and all nationalities. Mr. Fax's singing of Scotch and Irish songs was an Immense treat and so thoroughly appreciated that he was recalled every time ho appeared, and was obliged on two occasions to appear , a third time before the audience was satisfied. Miss Ida George Elliott has a delightfully sweet soprano voice, and Mr. De Mllle's fine baritone waa heard to excellent effect in "Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind," One of the musical gems of the evening was the duet by Miss Elliott and Mr. De MUle, given ln response to an encore, "Ye Banks and Braes." Miss aalbralth'B recitations, dramatic and humorous, were delivered with splendid effect and were warmly applauded. Every number on the program was heartily encored and the artists good naturedly responded. The program at the Gem theatre tonight includes, "The Stampede ln the 101 Ranch," a splendid picture by the Sellg company; "In the Watches ot the Night," a drama by the American Biograph company; "A Bad Case," and "The Strength of Love," two pictures by the Oaumont company, which are up to their high standard, and a Sellg comlo entitled, "Spring Has Come," complete the program. The woman with a past has been a familiar subject dealt with by play writers for many years with more or less disagreeable effect. "St. Elmo" presents a man with a paBt, and his redemption at the hands of one of the sweetest little heroines of the stage makes a production that loses none of the force ot the unpleasant plays, but leaves the spectator with a feeling that he is better for having witnessed the performance. Following closely the lines of August J. Evans' successful novel of the same name, "St. Elmo" presents a little wild- flower of a girl who hears almost the first unkind words in her life from the lips of St. Elmo, the misanthrope. A series of disasters transfers the Innocent girl of the woods into the splendid household where 9t. Elmo's word Is law. She loves him and remains true to her love through countless temptations. St. Elmo lights against his love for the girl. He tests her faith In every way; he plunges Into more desperate affairs than ever, but cannot escape the girl's steady Influence for good. A more powerful series ot situations than Is presented by tho play could not easily be imagined. It provides the right kind of a problem play. This splendid attraction will be at tho opera house next Saturday, matinee and evening. The change ot program at the Empire theatre this evening Includes several interesting features, one a fine industrial and scenic film, showing "The Honey Industry in France." Others are, "The Persistent Poet," Three Fingered Jack," and "Hector, the Angel Child."
