LONDON, March 14.—The Investigation Into the disaster to the submarine A 8, fn Whioh 14 men lost their

A block of wood Jamming her propeller wa3 apparently immediately responsible for tlie disaster to the sub-

c'ty,
Before many weeks have passed tli<
lobby of the Nelson postofflce will
bo open for two single hour periods on
Sunday so that box holders may have
access to their mall, aocording to letters which wero read nt the meeting
if the board of trade hist night. Tin-
hours suggested for opening tho lobb.\
of the building to thc public are from
noon until 1 o'clock in the afternoon
ind from !) until 10 o'clock at night
These were the hours decided upon
by tho board as likely to prove most
convenient to the greatest number ol
people.
No Sunday Labor Involved
The matter was introduced by a letter from the postmaster general to A
S. Goodeve, M.P. In which the minister asked for an expression of opinion as to the hours likely to prove
most suitable. The minister stated
that tbe government did not desire
i.o encourage Sunday labor in post-
■jfflces.
It was pointed out that absolute!;
no extra work would be placed upon
the postofflce staff If the lobby ol
Urn office wero opened as suggested
1'he board had not asked for tbe gen-
-r-rnl delivery wlCKei tov De openea on
Sunday.
Big Power Plant Involved.
"I have positive assurance that the
pulp and paper mill proposition Is a
jona fide one," said "VV. F. Roberts,
who stated that engineers were already on the ground nt Graham creek
preparing for the construction of the
*300,000 factory and a $150,000 power
plant to operate It. Water rights Iind
been secured for the hydro-electric
plant, said Mr. Roberts. A townsite
had also been staked out. There was
plenty of money behind the proposition, he said.
Revision Would Aid City
Tho hoard decided that It would nol
condemn an application of the western
Jobbers to be heard In Regina shortly
by the railway commission for tho
abolition of the restricted lists under
distinctive headings; the restriction of
carload rates to straight carloads o:
one commodity of analogous commodities and for minimum carload rate*-;
to approximate reasonably to the
carrying or cubical capacity of the
standard car with due regard to the
marketing condition of the articles In
question.
The president said that he thought
Nelson should not oppose the application. He believed the revision If made
would" Increase the business In this
centre.
R. W. Drew said that the proposed
revision would assist the legitimate
wholesalers. It would do away with
pooled cars.
Mr. Cramer thought tbat merchants
would suffer If pooled enrs were don
away with.
The point was. said Mr. Drew, tha
Vancouver did not import pooled cars
Vancouver shipped out pooled cars
Tho proposed revision would work nc
hardship on any territory but Vancouver under present conditions could
compete unfairly against local wholesalers.
Will Not Hurt Retailers
Tho president and Mr. Drew agreed
hat the retailers Would not suffe
one lota If the revision were made, I
would merely permit Nelson whole-
:alers to obtain the business whlcl
was legitimately theirs but which a:
present was largely absorbed by Vancouver.
Regarding the proposed change li
ho carload minimum Mr. Drew salt
t would not affect the heavier articles
The board deckled not to condemn
tho application for the proposed .revision on motion of A. S, Horswill
ind Mr. Drew.
A report from E. K. Beeston stated
tbat the building nt the Mountain station had been erected ln accordance
with the plans approved by the railway commissioners nnd wns fjilrl:

be removed from thc waterfront. Thi;
work would occupy two months and
cost $2,500. As this work, said thi
communication, was considered of a
private nature the department suggested that thc city should pay for
tho work.
A committee consisting of L. B. DeVeber, R. W. Drew and R. W. Hinton
was appointed to go into thc matter
further in conjunction with the Conservative  association.

LONDON, March 11—After a session lasting four hours today, the
Joint conference of the representatives of the government, of the coal
owners and tho miners at the foreign
offico adjurned until 11:30 tomorrow.
Tho increasing Clamor against ndher-
enco to the policy of secrecy concerning negotiations vitally affecting the
whole nation seems only to have made
iho government moro reticlent. The
official statement Issued was the
briefest yet. Tlie only information
vouchsafed concerning the proceedings
being "The position was further discussed."
The miners' executive later gave out
resolutions which wero adopted prior
to the opening of thc conference and
later presented to the delegates and
ministers in joint session. Tbe resolutions In effeet state that tlie miners will sanction district negotiations
for a settlement of rates for piece
workers other than coal getters when
the owners concede thc minimum
rate provided fnr In tbe schedule
drawn up by the miners' federation,
with flvo shillings as the Irreducible
minimum for men and two shillings
for boys.
Must bo National
Tho resolutions Indicate that a contrary view was widely held yesterday. The miners stfll Insist that the
settlement of the strike must be national In scope. This ,one of the miners' delegates frankly admitted, loaves
no ghost of a show for Immediate settlement. In. Ihe meantime there are
Indications that the English colliers
who are In a position lo make favorable terms with the owners are growing restive. At Sunderland, the miners
of tho neighboring districts met today nnd protested against the continuance of the strike. They agreed
that tho Durham lodges would urge
Uie members to return to work if
truce is not affected by the end of
lhe week. At Lanarkshire. Scotland
two pits havo been opened wlttl nonunion miners.
Demand for Belaian Coal
BRUSSELS, March 1-1—The enormous demand £or coal from tbe BelliTan collieries for shipment at Antwerp Is completely paralyzing transportation arrangements. Tbe mer-
chnnts are complaining that trade Is
at a standstill because they cannot
obtain a single ear. It is said that
tbe strlko which threatened all the
Belgian collieries will be averted as
the owners aro showing a disposition
to concede the increase demanded by
the men. Thc Mariemont collieries
has alrcndy granted a 5 per cent Increase.

Calgary's   Application   For
Freight Classification
Postponed
i¥*3
CALGART, Alta. March 14—The
board of trade on behalf of Calgary
shippers made an apllcatlon to tho
board of railway commissioners hero
today to have the Canadian freight
classification amended so as to abolish restricted trado lists under distinctive headings, restriction of Carload rates to straight carloads of out
commodity and minimum car weight
to approximate the carrying enpacity
of a standard car 36 feet 6 inches In'-**
side length.
A. Georgeson appeared to uphold the
petition and along with several witnesses pointed out the hardships of
the local JohberB under present conditions. It Is tbe contention of the
Calgary Jobbers that eaetern wholesalers aro cutting in on their buslnena
seriously by sending their travellers
out to the smaller towns and mHIkk
goods Individually and working together In the matter of shipment «s3
making ono car serve to bring »on-
slgnments of mcrchandist to perhaps
a dozen different retailers. The'Boat-
ter was not dealt with by the commissioners but was left over to b»
considered when the board meets at
Regina.
The city's application for tha fourth
street west subway under tho Canadian Pacific tracks met strenuous opposition. Tho application waa
put over until the next meeting of tho
eonimlssion at Calgary two months
away.
Kettle Valley Application
The commissioners ( considered an
application of tho Kettle Valley railway company for approval of tho location of tho lino In n canyon near
Hope, B.C. In this connection a counter application was placed by tho
V., V. & E. Railway & Navigation
Co., asking that their line In the same
connecllon be provided for.
It appears that In the canyon of
a small stream that empties Into the
Fraser river at Hope there aro Unas
surveyed by both companlos and that
thero is danger of snowslides; both
of these lines are on tho samo side of
the river. Both railways olalm priority of location and therefore first
rights in tho matter. In view of
tho complicated nature of tho situation thc commissioners decided that
tbe engineer of tho board should bo
sent to make an investigation, and if
possible a decision would bo rendered
whereby both lines could use tho cart-
yon.
Tho matter of the right of way for
the Canadian Northern across the
C.P.R. property east of the city was
once more hrougbt up. Both parties
wero agreeable to a board of arbitration but they could not agree to the
personnel of such a body. A. P. Clark
representing the Canadian Northern,
wanted one arbitrator, while Mr.
Walker, for the C.P.R.. wanted thred.
It was decided finally that the matter should be taken up again on tho
day the commission met In Edmonton.
If the towns and districts along the
A. R. & I. railway In southerrt Albertk
are to have any redress In the rnatter
of freight rates which they claim to
bo excessive It will riot b.o until tne
C.P.R. has finally taken over operation of this lino and has submitted Its
tariff to tlie board of railway Commissioners ln session here tot approval. This In effect was tho flecls-
lon of tho commissioners this morning when A. j. Maynard. mattagM of
the Canadian Bank of Obrintiyrcei at
Nety Dayton, placed a 'complaint on
behalf of tho board of trade, of Jhlt
town Involving an alleged delay Of $0
hours In the forwarding of soyeral t&rt
of cattle threo years ago by MdEtaiisl

showed that whatever delay had occurred in its erection, he was not responsible for.' A start was, however,
to be mado immediately and he expected the river would bo spanned before high water.
Several other gentlemen addressed
the meeting, and after a vote of confidence In Mr. Hunter was passed,
the candidate spent another hour in
informal conversation with the old
timers and malting acquaintance with
the newcomers. There was a very
good turnout, over 40 people being
present,   including  several   ladies.
Perry Siding is fast becoming a religious centre In the valley, enjoying
as it does the services of two minis
ters, the one, Mr. Glllam, giving a
Pr«csbytcrian service every two
weeks, and Mr. McCann, an Angelica n service once ln four weeks.
These services will shortly be
greatly improved by tho presence of

I You Can Thank
Advertising
NEXT time you step into the corner store,
take a look around. Of all the articles
on the shelves, how many were on your
shopping list five years ago? Make it ten
years, and you will find that most of the
things you buy to-day—and could not do
without-r-were not even made then. i
■ You men arid women who buy
things, let this sink in. You arc
better men and women because of
advertising. You eat more wholesome food. You wear better clothes.
Your home is better furnished. You
have cleaner and more sanitary
houses. You read better books and
magazines. You seek more healthful amusements.
1 Your whole standard of living has
been raised—and why? Because
the men who make these better
things are telling you that you will
be more comfortable, happier and
healthier if you use these higher
grade goods.
f It is advertising that makes it
possible for you to buy "the best"
right at your corner store. It is
advertising that encourages thc
inventor to make new comforts and
new utilities and enables you to buy
them almost immediately after they
are perfected.
f J. J. Hill says this "high living"
costs more. True for J. J.—but
it is worth more. And leaving the
cost aside, do you want to go back
to buying jam out of a pail, oatmeal
out of a barrel, raisins out of sticky
boxes, or tea exposed in an open
chest? ;::

RARE BIRDS THAT WE
HAVE KNOWN
THE COCKATOO (sometimes pronounced Cu-Cu.) The most remark-
ablo of the talking species. Its plumage, of a beautiful Bandy pink, is very
profuse about tho bead, giving it a
ferocious aspect, while In reality it In
one of the mildest and gentlest of
birds. Habitant any old place where
there Is a chance to talk nnd strut and
blow—nothing to It. This Bird of a
Sale Is no Cu-Cu. but Iho genuine
article.
TIIE CHICKEN. This remarkable
fowl has the strange duality of reincarnation in large cities, In its living state it may have been a coot, a
mud lien, or one of tlie small varieties
of crane; but onco cooked ami served
with the proper dressing ami garnishment in any of our leading hotels or
restaurants it hecomes a chicken and
is eagerly devoured and lavishly paid
for by our leading citizen!!. The chicken used to bo a common artlclo of
food, cheap as beef shank, now very
rare; used only by the very wealthy
families. Its eggs were common
years ago, now used as ornaments
Instead of pearls. The chicken's
namo Is to be changed by tho government to Sir Chicken, giving It more
tone. The eggs will be called De Eggs.
The Bird of a Sale will make chicken
as a food open to many families who
have not tasted it for years. The/
money Hall & Jessup will save you
will buy the chicken. Our Mr. Jessup has
chicken once a year, on his birthday,^
If ho has a nollon for lt thc balance
of the year ho just looka at the bill
and  tho tasto  for chicken dies.

AND  BOUNDARY.

FOUR ACCLAMATIONS IN KOOTENAY AND BOUNDARY.
Nomination day is now passed and
lhe final stage of the electoral con-
tost has begun. On the result of yesterday's nominations the supporters
of tho government in Kootenay and
the Boundary have good reason to
■congratulate themselves. Four seats
nre already won. Hon. Thomas Taylor is eleeted by acclamation in Revelstoke, In Kaslo Mr. Nell F. Mackay
wins the seat without a contest, Mr.
Ernest Miller Is re-elecled for Grand
■Forks and In Cranbrook Mr. T. D.
Caven takes the sent by acclamation.
It Is a striking and well-deserved tribute to the excellence of the service
rendered to their constituencies and
to the province by Messrs. Taylor,
Mackay, Miller and Caven, and It is
an equally strong indication of the
popularity and public support that the
McBride government has won for
its-elf by its able administration.
In other constituencies in Kootenay
nnd tbe Boundary the opposition bas
decided to test public sentiment at
the polls, and in these cases also the
result of yesterday's nominations gives
to supporters of tbe government good
ground for gratification. The standard bearers of tho government are

McQuarrie & Robertson
any constituency may feel pride, and
without exception they aro admirably
qualified to render valuable service in
Victoria. ',
Of the opposition candidates there
is Utile that need be said. Most of
them are comparatively unknown and
untried men. They are representative
of various schools of thought, but
what Is most important to remember,
they are asking for support as opponents of the government. They arc
brakes on the wheels of progress.
They offer the province nothing practical and their election would weaken
the government and hamper thc good,
work that It Is doing for the province.
Their tendency ls reactionary, and tbo
province lias good reason to dread
retrogression. Unexampled progress
has been fostered by the administration of thc McBride government. Thc
province has been lifted from a morass
of difficulties to firm ground on which
beams brightly tho sun of prosperity.
Can It afford to endanger Its present
condition or to risk another plunge
into the slough of despond?
LIBERALS SUPPORTING THE
GOVERNMENT.
Yesterday's nominations made it
more than ever clear that the majority
of the Liberals of British Columbia
do not believe that, in the Interests of
the province, it is desirable at the
present time to do anything that
might endanger the policy that Is
proving of so much advantage to British Columbia. In many constituencies
no Liberal candidate has offered himself as an opponent to the government,  strong evidence that thc rank
nd file of the Liberal party is in the
present election supporting tbe administration,
There has been a recent attempt on
the part of some of the self-constituted leaders of the party to arouse
partlzan antagonism to the government,  but  with   little   success.    The
eason is evident. These self-constituted   leaders are discredited  and arc
■pudiated by tho great majority of
the sincere Liberals of the province
because, as the Vancouver World, the
chief Liberal organ,  recently  frankly
onfeased, thoy have "stood on no
principles in particular," they have
gone    into    the    electoral   campaigns
not for the great reform principles
for which they imagined they were
fighting,  but merely to procure place
nd power for peoplo to whom politics   mean  nothing  more  than  party
pportunlty."
When this Is the case It is not surprising that Liberals everywhere have
turned from such leaders ond are supporting thc government in its efforts
to give thc province honest and able
administration. And on Its part the
government Is striving earnestly and
Successfully to merit tho confidence
lhat Liberals are placing in it. It
knows no party when partlzan advantage migiit conflict with its duty to
the province. Its policy Is designed
to benefit every resident of BrltlBh
Columbia,   Liberal   and   Conservative

TRIUMPH   FOR   PARSON.
GOLDEN, B. C„ March 14.—A meeting called in the Interests of H. E.
Forster, Independent candidate In Columbia riding, held here this evening
wound up with the honors decidedly
in favor of H. G. Parson, Conservative candidate, who had been Invited
to attend thu meeting. Mr. Forster
was not present at the meeting, having left for points up country today.
C. A. Warren was in the chair and
announced this fact but stated that he
had left his able lieutenant, Capt.
Armstrong, whom he Introduced as
first speaker. Capt. Armstrong made
a number of charges, much to the delight of supporters of Mr. Forster, who
were in the minority although the
meeting was called in his interests.
Ho was well received and given a
most attentive hearing.
Mr. Parson was equally well received, but not until he proved beyond
a shadow of doubt that statements
made by Capt. Armstrong were of an
Imaginative character did he take bis
seat amid much applause. He invlled
questions from tbe audience time after
time relative to the authenticity of his
replies to charges made but bis remarks wero not questioned once from
the large crowd in attendance. The
meeting was more In the nature of a
trial for Mr. Parson than anything
else and so thoroughly did he deal
with charges that if the audience had
been a sworn jury Mr. Parson would
have been vindicated without dissent.
Tho result of the meeting leaves little
doubt as to how the big majority of
electors hero will mark their ballots
on March 28.

Addresses Rally in Conservative Committee  Rooms—Attorney  General
Also Makes Speech.
Premier McBride, accompanied by
Hon. W. J. Bowser, arrived In Nelson
last evening after addressing meetings
along the Crow and leaves this morning for Trail and Rossland, speaking
at the former place this afternoon and
In the latter this evening.
Both the Premier una Mr. Bowser
attended a rally of the supporters of
W. R. Maclean, thc Conservative candidate for Nelson, In tho campaign
committc rooms.
Fred A. Starkey, campaign chairman, presided and In addition to tbe
premier and attorney general, Mr.
.Maclean also spoke.
Thc Premier opened by. expressing
tbe pleasure it gave him to see so
many present, betokening their interest In tbe campaign now In progress.
While he had met royal receptions at
the places visited since he left here
-Monday morning, it gave him pleasure
to bo back in Nelson to meet the Con
servative workers., Nelson had come
to be looked upon as the capital of the
interior and as such was deserving of
every consideration at the hands of
ihe government and this, ho could assure them, it would receive. He was
conversant with the city's needs in
tho way of roads and also in regard to
a bridge and these matters would have
the earnest attention of the admin-
is (ration.
For All the People.
There was, he understood, a Socialist In the field in Nelson and in view
of that fact he had a few words to
address to workingmen, whose interests had always been protected by his
government. His was not a government for the merchant, the forme
thc capitalist. It was a government
for all the people. It must be remembered that in the development of tlie
country capital as well as labor was
necessary. British Columbia was i
rich and promising country, that required only development, but to secure
this development many problems had
to be faced and overcome. The gov
ernment was doing its best to meet
these, hut day by day new conditions
arose, which had to be mot. To do
this lhe government was bending lis
best efforts. Of course, there were
many things the importance of which,
■iccording to various people interested,
the government failed, to realize. The
government, however, he could assure
them, was doing its best. He need not
remind them that there was a disposition to blame governments for
things which they could not help. In
fact thero were some, who when they
arose with a bad liver In the mornim
were prepared to blame the government for it as well as for everything
else Which they did not consider right.
In regard to the Socialists lie might
point out that if It wero not for tlio
capital which had been la-ought into
the country they would not bo here.
This was about the only part of Canada In which the Socialists could regularly get money entlugh, to, put up
for election deposits.
It was (|uilo true Hint the government had not been able to adopt all
the legislation submitted to it. In
many cases private members Introduced so-called labor legislation which
the government, acting- In the Interests
of the province as a whole, was forced
lo reject. How, ho asked, for example,
could the fortnightly pay day be applied to the whole province. There
were many parts of the province
whore at the present time such a
measure was utterly impracticable.
How, for example, could a fortnightly
pay day bo arranged for In Cariboo or
ther remote portions of tho province
where there were no banking facilities
ml little, If any, ready money. The
-ocinlisls represented only a small
i action of the workers of the province. In Arlctorla and Vancouver,
.'here the workers very largely predominated- the government was particularly strong as was shown by tho
result of past elections. This was
proof beyond question that the workers appreciated the efforts of bis government in their behalf as well as in
that of the people of thc province as
a whole. They realized the justice of
the policy of the government of dealing fairly with all,
Among tho things his govern
ment had in view was tho appointment
of a labor commission,' This w
vote getting scheme, but Its result
would lie a distinct benefit to the people of the province as a whole, All
would have an opportunity to appear
before this commission and to express their views.
Recognizes Responsibility
In the last election bis government
had practically swept the province.
On that occasion Nelson had been one
of the Constituencies which had returned a government supporter. The
great strength of the Parly in the last
legislature had placed a great responsibility upon the members of tho government which they had fulfilled to
the best of their abilities. The prospects were that tbe result of the present elections would be equally decisive. If so he would assure them the
government would be doubly careful
tbat the affairs of the province were
conducted along right and proper
lines. What the government had to
avoid was becoming afflicted with
what was known In tho west as "big
head." To avoid Ibis nnd lo con-lnet
the affairs of the province along sane,
reasonable lines would bo bis policy
so long as he was at thc head of
the government.
In Nelson the Conservatives had nominated Mr. Maclean whom he felt
confident would carry the party banner to victory on election day. Ho
would, however, like to see Harry
Wright come Into line and support the
choice of the convention, the mart.who
was carrying the Conservative banner
In tho election In Nelson. Ther# whb

The situation in Belgrade is not unlike that which existed in looa. just
before the. killing of Alexander and
Drnga by men In the army and in tlio
court, who never have boon punished,
some of them oven having received
splendid  promotions and rewards,
King Peter and the government .ire
virtually powerless and In the hands
of an army clique, which they dare
not oppose very strongly. In every
trial nf strength, Peter hns come off
second best nnd has been forced lo
give in through fear of dethronemenl
and possibly murder. Two secret organizations, one under tho now notorious name of tho "Black Hand,"'and
lhe other under the high sounding title
of "Union or Death," arc said to include the majority of the army officers hig-h nnd low, In tho principal
garrisons. The minister or war is
said to be on friendly terms with
them.
Rooenlly King Peter appointed
Crown Prince Alexander, who has
only the rank of colonel in tho Sixth
infantry regiment, and but 21 years
old, inspector general of tho army.
Alexander took an energetic slund
against the half-mutinous and negligent officers belonging to the "Black
Hand." During the inspection somo
of the officers wore so plainly hostilo
to the crown prince that he reported
the matter to his father. Tho king
ordered the minister of war to punish
the officers. The war minister instend
asked the king to remove his son ns
Inspector general, "because of his
youth and the hostile attitude of tho
officers." Alexander gave up the.post
and has gone to Switzerland and Italy
for a "vacation."
Next the king ordered an investigation of the "Black Hand" organization. Sentences of death were Immediately passed by thc organization
upon tho Investigators, wiih the result

GIRL'S ODD RECOVERY
ISAMAZINGTO LONDON
C.TS3  of   Miss   Dorothy   Kerrin,  Called
"Miraculous," Has Strange
Features.
LONDON, March M.—The "miraculous cure" of a girl who lias been bod-
ridden for five years and who has
been latterly blind and deaf, in a single night, is causing a sensation lu
South London which Is likely to
spread all over the kingdom.
Dorothy Kerrin, who was 112 years
old last November, wus forced to take
her bed, apparently a hopeless invalid.
Everything that was possible was
don.> for her; she was sent to sanatoria, had the most expert physicians
lo attend upon hor, but everything
was of no avail, and tbe story of hor
marvellous and sudden restoration lo
apparently complete health is vouched
for by both Miss Kerrin herself and
the physician who saw hor both before and'after tiie wonderful transformation.
"Yes, It's true," said Mrs, Kerrin to
a caller at their homo in Milkwnod
road, Home Hill. "Dorothy Is downstairs now and in tlio highest spirits.
She seems her dear old self again. My
daughter fs one ot a family of five,
and for the last seven years she has
but tln-y thought there that her caso
was hopeless. Next we tVled St. Peter's homo for Incurables, at KUburn,
bin she was brought homo from thero
two years ago apparently dying. Then
she went blind and deaf, and the doctors gave her up.
'■one Sunday evening a thing happened  which   wo   cannot understand."
As .Mrs. Kerrin spoke a burst of
merry laughter cane- from another
room, and Dorothy herself came tripping In.
"1 was lying on my buck in the
bed," she said, "when suddenly I saw
a du-iKling light, like a fire. I wondered what it could be, and then I
seemed to hear a voice say, 'Dorothy,
your sufferings are over. Get up and
walk,'
"Then I fnund myself sitting up in
bed, and called out, and saw my
father and mother standing in the
room very surprised. I made an effort and I got out of bed. Now I feel
quite well and have no pain at all.*'
Ono of ihe physicians, a fellow of
the royal college of surgeons, or wide
experience, who lias seen Miss Kerrin
sine- her wonderful recovery, said
that   her ease  was  a   wry remarkable

appreciably hastened by the action of

swamped by supporters of the Socialist candidate for thc provincial election. The Socialist clement in Victoria

purely labor principles probably number 2,000.

Millinery   Opening   Proves   Great Attraction and New Designs Elicit
Favorable  Comment,
■ A most bewildering display of grace
and beauty greeted the eye at thu
various millinery openings which took
place yesterday. Despite tho somewhat inclement day a large number oj*
ladles visited thc various establishments and a busy hum of conversation
could bo heard from the- various
groups as they discussed the numerous designs. Tho shapes seem to be
perhaps a little more definite this season, straws being very much ln evidence. For the most part a coarse
straw Is being used, as It lends itself
so admirably to the flower trimming
which will be extensively used. 'Many
small, dainty shapes are on display,
but the larger hats seem to hold their
own. Taken all together tho displays
are so beautiful in both color and design and the wealth of artificial flowers so extensive that it is no wonder
Iho choosing of a new hat Is such a
difficult matter to decide.
At Meagher's.
A millinery opening means a busy
day at Meagher's store, and Miss
tfeatty and her assistants were kept
busy all the time showing the new
season's models to hundreds of women
who seem only too anxious to got rid
of their winter hats and don tho extremely pretty creations which are' to
be worn this spring.
Before entering the store one gets a
glimpse of the good things to come
from the beautiful models, trimmings
and veilings so artistically displayed
in the show window, and despite it
being a rather cold, dull and snowy
day, one felt spring wns here indeed
on seeing the masses of brightly colored flowers and entrancing airy trimmings lavishly displayed in the show
rooms.
To give an adequate and Impartial
description of the many only too fascinating models displayed would bo
impossible In tho space at disposal.
One lingered long before a beautiful
creation by Alphonslne, only to be
equally attracted hy a captivating one
from Joseph.
This Is evidently to be a season of
milliners' creations, ns the amount of
needlework and draping used upon
hats is very much more than it has
been for several seasons. "Plenty of
flowers arranged In most attractive
ways are used, some crowns noticed
being entirely covered with thorn; also
flowers as an nndcrtrim decoration
aro onco moro featured. Hoses perhaps arc the favorites, but violets,
orchids, chrysanthemums and all sorts
of other blossoms and foliage are seen
in profusion. Ostrich and Paradise
look as If they wore again to he popular as a number of models trimmed
with  them nre shown.
Laco and flowers, however, arc undoubtedly to he tho most popular
trimmings, the laco being generally
used over a foundation of straw or
silk. Tulles and Mallnes are also
much in evidence.
There' is no doubt that both large
and Mii-ill hats will he In favor,,the
(-■mailer ones for early spring nnd for
practical service, while the largo will
probably predominate for summer and
dress occasions. Coarse nacre straws
arc very popular; Peanft is also good
and Tagal braid Is a great favorite.
Lace hats are expected to be a strong
feature for summer wear, Macrame,
Cluny, Venetian, C'hantllly and Vals.
being used. Some of these have a willow plume for trimming, and tho effect
is most charming.
Many hats of the sailor order, with
medium crowns and slightly rolling
brims, are shown; also a particularly
mannish stylo, with large round crown,
wide hack and slightly rolling narrow
sides.
Dutch bonnet effects are featured ln
a variety of styles, and there is a now
Tarn effect which looks very well.
Thero is a very pronounced use of
bandeaux, short and broad, daintily
colored, ou pressed shapes with high
crowns. They arc appliqucd around
the crown and finished with a floral
mount.
Taking It as a whole, thc millinery
show this spring is distinctively feminine nnd charming, and ono is almost
bewildered with its beauty and variety,
and no one will be nblo to complain
that there are no shapes to suit their
particular fancy.   -
Hudson's   Bay   Display.
Tbo  Hudson's  Bay  store seemed to
Want
Proof?
That's Right!
A 10 days' trial of
in place of coffee, will show any
coffee drinkar just how coffee
has been treating him.
After the trial
Look Back
and compare the old condition
of coffee aches and ills* with the
return to health and comfort
which came with the change to
Postum.
It will then be plain why
"There's a Reason"
for
bo one of the great centres of attraction, if one can judge by the number
of ladles who, all through the morning and afternoon, thronged the sumptuous millinery parlors.
Hats for all occasions arc tastefully
and artistically displayed on a great
number of tables. All requisites for
trimming and finishing this most Important article of ladies' wear is displayed In every fashionable style,
shape and shade.
The services of a thoroughly competent milliner, Mrs. Carpenter, who, up
lo three weeks ago occupied tlio position of head milliner and designer in
one of thc foremost establishments In
that line in Boston, was at tho command of all visitors. This lady, who
has just arrived from tho centre of
fashions in the United States mid who
has a thorough knowledge of tho subject, was kept busy explaining the
very latest up-to-date styles, assisting
in the selection and suggesting the designing and trimming of shapes.
Among the many models displayed
were thc new sailor derby and telescope hats and very many other designs from tho leading London and
Paris houses, making a scene of graceful shape and color for the allurement
of the ladies who visited the parlors.
Fred  Irvine & Co.
It was most surprising to note the
great success attending the opening of
Fred Irvine & Co., and to see so many
of the most expensive pattern hats
being sold so early In thc day, the
show room of tho millinery department
cm the second floor being crowded
with ladies all day purchasing from
the most excellent stock of imported
pattern and trimmed hats.
Miss Edith Schupp, the firm's now
milliner, who has just arrived from
Portland to take charge of this department, showed many of the leading
shapes and styles, and remarking that
In spite of the unusual early showing
the variety in thc new spring chap
eaux is little short of amazing and
that the largo, artistic shapes turned
up at the sides will again bo favorites. They aro shown in all the fino
straws, bearing marked resemblance
to the Grande Mademoiselle, Louis
XIV. and Trianon hats of last season,
The ever popular bonnet-like toque
With the tiny rims and high pointed
crowns  will again score.
Helmets, entirely made of tiny flowers, are a specialty at Carlier Salon,
nnd the madatne predicts a brilliant
future to both the small and tho Jarg*
flowers; the former she employs In
the shape of stiff cockades, or arranged In dense wreath effect cither
over the upper or under the edge of
wide hat brims.
Thc derby for a ready-to-wear hat
is to be most worn, and no doubt will
be a general favorite along with tho
large sailor hat, which this year will
be good.
Many hats in the new Nacre braid
effects are good and are at the present time here to stay, as many combination.'* of shading, are brought together in m:iking the trimming unique.
The leghorn hat with black velvet
trimming is shown as one of the lending walking hats and the Georgette
taffeta silk hat in gunmetal shades
with single flower trim are to be worn
for early spring.
This season is not to bo a feather
season, and will only be used in un-
doeided quantities.*.' Wings, will, be
seen in largo variety and numbers,
but whether they will go on finding
favor or not Is an open question,
Osprey mouths and fancy ornaments
form a large factor In the trimmings.
It is believed  that  this seasop will
be most successful and the later ideas
for   the  white- nnd -light   shades   for
Easier opening are looked for.
Miss   Hanlin.
At Miss Hanlin's parlors many
tasteful designs were displayed and a
throng of ladies moved iu and out all
through the day. Among the many
new shapes could bo seen the attractive Tain crown which seems to be so
very much in vogue this spring.
Blocked shapes aro being used very
extensively,
Osprey still holds its own as a smart
trimming and flowers arc going to be
used profusely. Severer lines are
shown only in the modish sailor
shapes and for tbo most part considerable trimming Is adopted. All flower bats will be used largely this sou-
son, and shot silk will also be largely
seen. Fringed silks will be used as
an effective trimming, Smart attractive models from Gage's and Phlpps'
were on display.

BUDGET DEBATE
COMES TO END
Conservative   Member    Regrets    That
Bounties on Steel Are Not Renewed—Oliver's Attaok.
OTTAWA,. Ont., March 14.—The
budget debate came to a close tonight
after two days' ,talk which commenced
with tho speech of Hon. W. T. White
yesterday afternoon, Tho discussion
loday dragged -jlong quietly throughout tho afternoon but livened up in
ho evening, when lion. Frank Oliver
rossed swords In a verbal war with
several of the Conservative members.
At one stage of the proceedings such a
row was created tbat the speaker had
iippeal to the'members to observe
closely the proprieties of debate. Mr.
Jliver, will) his customary vchemancy,
declared lhat Canada had been a big
l0L*er by the rejection of reciprocity
and that the government during Its
five months of office had been negligent of the Interests of tho west. It
had been slow in taking steps looking
to the r.tlief of the grain bloekade and
had injured thc Interests of the farmers by the changes made in thc Grain
act.
Tho Conservative reply was mado
by W. P. Cockshutt, member for
Brantford, who expressed regret that
Iho minister of finance had nol seen
his way clear to renew the bounties
on steel. IL would, he said, have cost
the country a couple of millions to ro-
establish the bounties until the tariff
commission makes its report. If the
commission found that the bounties
were not required they could then be
abolished. Mr. Cockshutt declared
lhat the defeat of reciprocity had been
ii bleas*ng to Canada, and criticized
the British preference as it exists at
present, What was wanted, he said,
was a give and take preference such
as had been advocated by Sir Charles
Tupper. "  "
Other speakers were Mr. Venillo of
Maissoneuve, R. W. Broder of Dundns,
!!. W, Nesbltt of North Oxford, Mr.
Bello'mero of MaBkinonge, Mr. Lane-
lot of La Prairie. Paquet of Llstlet

No    Hope    of    Terminating    Present
State of Affairs—Six Hostilo
Armies in Field.
PEKIN', China, March 14.—It would
s.em that there is no government
force, pnsent or prospective, capable
of terminating thc prevalent anarchy.
Thcr< is Utile hopo among thc legations lhat Ihe coalition government
will bo successful In ending the mu-
ttaouj pillage which ls now sweeping
over the north. One minister said today that it must burn Itself out like n
prairie fire. It is tho general belief
that order cannot be restored within
two years. Tho breaking up of the
country sccilons is considered not

There aro now not less than six
hostile aimles in the field. These comprise the northern and southern
armies, which tho present disorders
show are not agreeable lo the forced
compromise that their leaders are now
negotiating.
