Winnipeg, May 8.���The Roblln government haa had enough of government ownership o.'ele,ators. D. W.

Nelson Raises Awkward Question for Chief Officers of Cities Under Twenty Thousand. New Town Scapegra:es Raid Old Town���Canadian Highway Post Returned with Apolcgics. Wcid comes from Nel.on that ac- OOr.Mn; to the amended version of the Municipal Clauses act no ma-or of any city with a smaller population than 20.(1(10 can receive any remuneration for his services. Accordingly the despatch says that Nelson's mayor who has received $1200 a year ever since the city's Incorporation In 1897 la now without a salary. If this report were trie, lt would, of course, apt ly to Weatmlnster, and Mayor Lee would have to be content with tho bare honor of his position as head of the city. The general understanding, however, of the amended act was that cities of less than 20,- 000 population had no power to increase the salaries of their mayors bevond what they were at the time of tho passing ot the amendments. It may be that when the peonlo of Nelson come to loo'c closer Into the matter they will come to the same conclusion, but on the otber hand It Is possible that the wise men of Nelson ave rli'ht.

May 8.���The rivalry between Old Alberni and Port Alberni eame to a head when some wild s; irits of the latter town carried off the Canadian Highway post in tha dark of night from its site at the foot of Johnson road in Old Alberni. and planted it In the main business thoroughfare of their own city. Both towns had been eager ln their attempts to secure the post for themselves, ebut the road conditions made It Imperative that the planting ceremonies take place at old Alberni. Consequently there was some heart-burning among the enthusiastic supporters of the new town, but they bore their disappointment with a good grace, attended the ceremonies ln force and made themselves good fel- .lows, everywhere. This last escapade was the act of a few irresponsible members of the new tnwn, it is supposed, and while It lias caused much laughter, little lH-feelinr; has been created. On waking up on the morning after, Mayor Waterhousc hastily summoned tbe council and ordeied that the post be returned with suitable apologies. This was accordingly done and here the Incident ends.

C. E. R. which pumps the water into tbe larpe storage tan'c. burned out, thus cutting off the supply from the Edmonds and also the East Burnaby districts. Added to this, the Well at Patterson station wh!-- the -municipal authorities had banked or to supply the Central Park area unti' the new system was In wording order, has been found to contain a large amount of silt, and until this is drawn out. the pumps will be unable to run Taken as a whole, very li:tle complaint Is made at present conditions the residents realizing the fact that the council is doing Its utmost tc alleviate the want in anv way '~os- slble. Instead of trying to complete the whole system befoie turning on the full supply from the Soymour creek basin, the waterworks engineers are rushing the work of laying an eighteen inch malu across the municipality, from the North Burnaby district ta Edmonds. A delay has. occurred cn account of the council being compelled to C*ln the right '.( rvn thio.igh certain prorerty with the [ires, but this having been granted, onlv a mile and a half of pipe remains to be laid before the water can be sent from the North Burnaby rese- voir. The roads through which the main will be laid have been cleared In advance by the day labor gangs, and It remains fo',' the contractors to complete the installation of the trunk main. Tbis Is expected to take six weeks to do, nnd until then, the residents are asked to bear with the council in the piesent conditions now prevailing.

Mr. J. Ashton, of Sapperton, brought up the question of the advisability of appointing a conference evangelist. After much discussion, It was moved by Rev. Okell and seconded by Mr. J. C. Loree that the matter be left over for the time being, although it was considered an Important project for the members to embark on. Felicitous remarks were made .regarding the work of the Rev.

There was a meeting on Tuesday of the committee which haa in hand tke special features of attraction to be provided for the delectation of the visitors. This committee, composed of Messrs. A. E. Sherriff, T. J. Armstrong, W. A. Gilley, D. E. MacKenzie and Alderman Kellington, considered and discussed a very large number of proposals of various natures. A selection of those attractions which were considered to be tbe most suitable was made, and this will now be presented to the whole committee for Its approval both as regards the selection and the appropriation to cover the cost. The idea Is to get as much attraction as possible for the entertainment of the public without going to too large an expense. WILL SUE NEW8Y. Fleming After Star Lacrosee Man for Breach of Contract. Toronto, May 7.���Newsy Lalonde is to be sued for breach of contract by the Toronto Lacrosee club. The statement was made this morning by an officer of the Torontos, and lf necessary the Scarboro Beach management will send a sherl.T to bring Lalonde back from the coast to face the charge of taklir; money under false pretences. The Torontos base their charges on the faot that Lalonde had already signed up with Vancouver when he came east, and the fact that he accepted $2500 of their coin as ad vance money la stated to be sufficient grounds to bring the Cornwall home star to the courts. Lalonde has property In Cornwall, and lf tbe charge against him ia sustained his latest deal Is liable to be a very costly manoeuvre. T. and L.

One of the most important matters debated at the regular meeting of the Trades and Labor council beld. last evening, was that of suspending, a section of the constitution which heretofore had kept fhe meeting. closed to the public.

They, the Trades and Labor, council, had been lighting for the school board meeting being Open tt��- tlie public, so that all might know what was going on In that body, ami he thought It perfectly right that the public should have a chance to learn. the work done at their meetings. Delegats Stoney, in seconding the motion, said: "We wish the public or Westminster to see we run things differently than the school board meetings. We have alw.ays ailowed the press a fiee hand In' reporting the meetings and It ' Is rto their credit that the people of (Mils city get ao accuiate aecocuit of "tvhat business Is- transacted. We never hear of any of our members making a kick at being; misrepresented." De.egate Grant ln support of the motion, said: "The people ol this city have been able to findafct during the past year that this council is working: In the interests of the city at large. They have no grudge against anybody who is working in thOWame direction. The motion was cimiec by a large majority. The municipal committee was requested to biing d|> before the city council the question of tbe advisability of sending tftWr -plumbing inspector to the annual convention of plumhlng and Banitary inspectors to be beld In St. Louis in June of this- jear. i Delegate Grant was Instructed tor prepare data to be given the municipal committee in tbe matter oC municipal coal yards.

GORGEOUS CEREMONIES MARK ANNUAL CONCLAVE Los Ant-eles, Cal., May 8.���Three gorgeous street pageants such as have never been equaled ln Los Angeles marked the formal opening yeste-- day of the 3Sth annual conclave of the imperial council of the Mystic Shrine. The first parade, escorting ��� he Imperla] officers and delegates to the Scottish rite cathedral for the opening of ihe council this forenoon was a brilliant spectacle. A half hundred gorgeously garbed Arab patrols took part and imperial officers said that it was the greatest turn out of jairols ln the history of the shrine. Two more parades, one an electrical pageant and the other composed of temples and patrols, wended tlieir way in opposite directions through I the main portion of the city, to tho cheers of miles of spectators ,vho | were massed a dozen or more deep on either side of tha street. Two business sessions of the imperial council we:e held today and the first was one of welcome and rasponse bv local Shriners and visiting officials. In lhe afternoon routine business was transacted after which it was voied lo grant tenipls charters ti'. Muskogee, Okla, and Jackson, Mlss. and a dispensation to San Dle;;o, Cal eently been prepared In, and is now heing issued from the railway lands branch of the Department of the Interior. This publication which is known as the Peace River or Northern Alberta Homestead )Map, graphically illustrates by a comparatively simple system of coloring the land situation in that country, including, as It does, complete Information with respect to the disposal- of lands, lo- -atlon of timher berths and forest reserves, nature or the soil, etc. An interesting feature of the color scheme is the fact that lt enables an observer to procure at a glance a complete grasp of the present land situation, not only with regard to those lands whicli have been taken up during the last year, but also with respect to lands previously homesteaded but for which patents have not yet been issued, thus also enabling a person to trace the pioeresp during recent years, or settlement ln the Peace liver distiict. The aim ln the preparation of the map has" been to show the land situation up to the beginning of the urtsent year and in view of the rapid exhaustion of free homesteads Mironehout the older prairie provinces the information should prove of particular interest to settlers. In addition to the Information with respect to lands which have been 'ome?teaded and otherwise 'isposed of, the publication contains complete information regarding postofflces, railways, topography, etc. Copies may be obtained free of charge upon application to the Superintendent of Railway Lands, Department of the Interior, Ottawa.

Danger of the Canal. "I liave been working on the Panama canal for years. The day that it opens will be an 111 day for Canada if her values are Inflated and if thc investing and home-seeking public have lost confidence in the country. When u man hu3 bean swindled he re ports it to his bankers and whei: these complaints accur. late thd coun try gets In lo bad odium. Tbis country will need every resource It ha? und every kind worl that can bo said about It,i and complete public confl dence to stall it over the dark days that must ensue for lt when the great canal is opened. 'Panama Is going to experience one of the most colossal booms known tc history. The rails of the continent would be diverted north and south Instead of oast and west. Wheat, lumber and coal, all now transposed b.v freight, woull be senl by water. Plana aro unanimous for the divert ing of the whole traffic southwest, and lt .will be wise for the northwest lo give itself no black eye. Tbere are thre? big transcontinental systems going east and west which have al- cady bought terminals on tbe Pan ama. New Orleans has spent $16, 000,000 on a steamship service. From Seattle to Sandy Eagle $150,000,00', have been spent, on harbor Improvement alone, and much has been spent on publicity schemes, progressive clubs and the like. This money has already been spent and there arc many iiiillions moio yet to be spent. Fcl'ies of Prosperity. Tbo United States is noy,- paying for its own folly in prosperous years It is paying interest on watered stocks anil on the extravagances of past years. The whole river if immigration has been directed to western Canada. The whole Dominion is dunk witli prosperity. Bankers look at the huge railway schemes you are uarantceing and wonder if you will ever be called upon- to take them over. Your progress is indeed perfectly astonishing, but you must put the brakes on or there will come a fearful crash later. Winnipeg has grown greatly; I lost myself twice heie. yesterday. The spirit of the people here is beautiful the scenery is magnificent. All are buoyant and hopeful, but in prosperity is the time to guard against the crash tliat must inevitably follow grsat prosperity and heedless extrava ganee." JOKES ON HOMEYMOONERS. Old as the HMls���Practised the World Over. Pia; ing jokes on honeymconers is a pastime antedating civilization it self. With increase of perspicacity however, it develops into an art. The twentieth century a,wain, haying woo- 9.1 and won his lady fair, discovers that "getting away with it"���"it" be ing the bride���is a more perplexing proposition than the vernacular rbrase generally implies. At this juncture, for some reason or other, every one of his kith, kin and acquaintance who happens to consid er himself gifted as a joker gets busy to tbe end that the first hours of double harness shall be fraught with anything but that blissful tranquility ihat Is supposed to be the highest ���doaj of matrimonial blessedness, says the Scrap Book. It Is in that brief period between the conclusion of the marriage ceremony ancl the commencement ol the honeymoon that the practical joker come3 into his own. Separation'and kidnapping may he garded as the pinnacle of tbe honeymoon-baiters ambition. In tbe carrying out of his plant he sticks at nothing an I respects nothing and nobody. Great Is his glee if he can invoke the law as an alder and abettor. Not very long ago two people In prosperous circumstances were wedded in an up-state city of New York. It vvas B rftther fashionable wedding, with an Imposing array of groomsmen, a beauteous bevy of bridesmaids, Horal decorations, newspapei reporters and tbe usual trlmmln-ss. Towards ihe close of the reception one of the groomsmen Bought qui tht plain clothes detective who wai guarding Ihe presents, V.e was plain ly in a gieat state of perturbation, lie took the nop by the arm con::'en tlaliy. "lilst, officer! An unbiddt ii guest just come, looks like a gentleman cracksman; lie's slunk upstairs, third door on tlie light. Probably desper ato character posing as a guest. Get him away as Quietly as possible; nc scene." The cop nodded a nod of comprehension and forthwith wenl to it Third door on the right. Sure enough, there was his man, well dressed and even then han Hing a valuable gold watch. Details of what happened during the next quarter of an hour wore never known, but it was a crowded period, and then two men went out by a side door, both much disheveled. One wore a look of grim, virtuous triumph, the oilier a pair of handcuffs. The latter appeared to be overwhelmed by his emotions. II. was late tliat night before the sergeant in the station house permitted himself to be convinced���by a delegation that included a tearful bride���that the prisoner was indeed only a victimized bridesgroom.

These people were not beggars; I have been accustomed to beggars; we had 76,000 In Nanking the first winter I lived there. One pities them, but there seems about even the best ot them something professional. These were not. Tboy did not ask for anything. Except for the moan of a child, and now and then the bursting forth of the cry of one woman, they were quiet. Silently the great waters had during the summer risen over their fields; silently the famine has entered their homes: silently wlll come the typhus and the famine fever: and silently as the fate that overwhelms them, they wait Iheir doom. All life seems different since then. One's philosophy of life and of pain receives an awful wrench. And especially when one thinks of the fact that to save these people from 'oath is not a matter of carrying paupers for a number of years'; it Is Just for 'he next few months. It only tikes about sixty cents (gold) to bridge for one of Ib.ese people the chasm of thc mined crop to the bursting grain. ')r.

THE SOUTHPAW QUESTION. Doc White, the left-hand pitcher 0." the Chicago White So:;, h::s a convincing answer for the everlasting Itiestlon: "Why can't a left-hand bat- ter successfully bit a southpaw I wirier?" White's answer to the query was: "It's the simplest thing in the aorld. Tbe majority of pitchers in the big leagues are right-handed, are they net? When you'were a kid and played on lots, the majority of pitchers then Wj��re right-ban .led, were thoy not? "Admitting that, isn't it reasonable to assure that a ball player fiom bis earliest days to the time he gets Into the big leagues, hits against right- handed pitchers twice as often as he does against southpaws? Well, that's the answer and that's all there ls to it. If the big leagues Bhould decide to cairy half a dozen left-handed pitchers and only one or two right-hand- ers, you would fin 1 that in the course of a very, short time all these fellows who cannot hit left-handed pitchers would soon be able to solve the port- side shoots. Take Ty Cobb, for instance," says White. "I used to )lke to pitch against him when ho first broke into the American league. He ( was the easiest kind of a proposition for me. Hut now���well, I can't fool him any more, and po left-hander can; I don't care who he ls. It is claimed that Vean Gregg, the Cleveland southpaw, wus the only man who coulJ swerve u'> something. Ty couldn't hit last season. This may be true, but you can gamble that If Gregg slays in tlie American league very long, Cobb will be able to get him." THE KITCHEN DRESSER. It Waa Originally a Bench on Whieh Meat Waa Dressad. Dr. Johnson tells us thut tbe kitchen dresser was a bench in tbe kitchen on wbicb meat wns dressed or prepared for table and gives the following lines ln support of bis view: 'Tis burnt, and so ia all the meat What doga ara tbesa? Where la tha rascal cook? How durat you, villains, brln* It from tha dresser And serve thua to me that lova It not 7 -Shakespeare. A maple dresser In her hall she bad, On which full many a slender maal she made. ���Dryden. Wright in bis "Domestic Manners of the Middle Age8" says: "One of the great objects of ostentation In a rich man's bouse waa bis plate, which at dinner time be brought forth and spread on the table In sight of bis guests. Afterward to exhibit tbe plate to more advantage the table was made with shelves or steps, on which tbe different nrtjcles could be arranged ln rows, one above another. It waa called In French, or Anglo-Norman, a dres- solr, because on it the different articles were dressed or arranged." It Is tbla to which the modern poet refers: The pewter plates on the dresser Caught and reflected the flame aa shields of armlea the sunahlne. The executive of tbe B. C. L.

Toronto, May 8.���A lacrosse commission is certain for 1913. President Percy Quinn of the Dominion Lacrosse Association, stated this morning that after an interview wdth Con Jones ln the King Edward Hotel on Saturday, he would not oppose a commission, but he was not prepared at the present to discuss the matter. This means that the coast magnate Is waiting for the Big Four to reopen negotiations for a commission. President Quinn stated this would be done after tbe close of the present season. The N. L. U. and Middle West will also be provided for when the commission Is formed. It Is understood that the commission will be formed along the lines of tbe baseball commission, that ls to suy, no salary limit will be -placed on the. big leaguers, though clauses will be Inserted which will make it Impossible for the players to jump contracts and dicker with two clubs. Universal playing rules will be brought uo, together with regulations undei- which the Minto Cup will be competed for. "I have not considered for a moment bringing McDougall and McGregor back from the coast," stated Charlie Querrie this morning, "and I am satisfied with the way my new home Is working out. I expect Tommy Gorman ��here on May 15." PRESENCE OF MIND. The Way Two Englishmen Captured Four Hundred Prisoners.

A NORWEGIAN WORD. Canonbury Once ths Home of Many Origin of "BudstikKan." Which Means Literal.' Celebrities. Historic London is rapidly disap. J pearing, but now and then one runs across some relic of the middle apes i that still preserves much of its orig- j ina! character. Such a survival i-t I Canonbury Tower, standing in one of the northern suburbs < f London. I It began life in 1360 as the country i residence of the prior of Et. Bnrtholo-i mew. In more recent days it hecanu thd home in turn of many literary celebrities. Oliver Goldsmith lived: there from 1762 to 1764, though the; actual rooms that lie occupied are un-] certain. It was tliere he commenced j "The Vicar oi Wakefield.'' Another j tenant at the same time as Gold-; smith was Newberry, the bookseller, ' and it was in his rooms that the ini- ', pecunious Oliver often took refuge | fr< m his creditors. In the room, generally reputed to have been inhabited by Uoldsmitli lived Washington Irving some time .after, a period of his life which lie described in his "Tales ol a Traveler." Other interesting folk who lived there at different times were Samuel Humphre; ���, the author ol "Ulysses,'' who died there in 17u"; Christopher Smart, the "mad poet'; Dr. Johnson of dictionary fame; William Hone, who wrote "Tlie Everyday "Spreading th* News.' This peculiar word Ih frequently found ln Scandinavian communities us the name or a newspaper, such as SL Cloud Budstlkken. It ls u Norwegian word. 1,200 years old at tbe least und has a very peculiar origin. In those days, when lbe coasts of JCorwa,v were ravaged by pirates, the inhabitants had to resojrt to nil sorts of devices to warn those nt n distance I of lhe approach of these piratical craft. i When one was seen on the horizon �� ! mnn went up to Ihe top of n mountain. where he lighted a beacon'lire. This ' could be seen for n long distance und was known to be u warning. When ; It was seen In the distance another i (Ire was lighted on another bill until | all over the country tires blazed from every hilltop and the people prepared j to defend themselves. They also had a system of messen- i gers. l'he man who tlrst sighted tbe snil would lake an arrow and send lt to his neighbors. From town to town tbls arrow was sent until all were warned. These were rather primitive ways of telegraphing, but were so effectual that In Ihe course of twenty i four hours all Norway knew of tbe approach of pirates. Tbls system of spreading the news was called "btidstlkken." and wben there were no more pirates the newspapers become spreaders of tbe news and so were appropriately styled "bud- stikken."���Exchange.

Anything like a biographical description of the Indian chiefs is, of course, impossible here, but tiii rS are certain notable paints in relation to the Indian royulties which may profitably be noted. T<. define the individual significance if i ach titular style among the Rajabl of Ind1'. would be a useless task, for it is almost incapable of explanation to renders unacquainted with India. The tast explanation is that given by Whitakcr's Peerage, but it- right to be accepted as nn authority may be gauged by the st��ti ments that "Maharajah, Raja, an I Nuwab correspond with English p ITS."

The Indian "Debrett," if there wero such a Compilation, would contain the family details of no less than six Hundred ruling houses. Tbe chief of these is the young Nizam of Hyderabad, whose eoronufrion took place. wilh an immens? display of feudal magnificence, last May. He is the actual ruler of a country bigger than Britain, with powers of life and death over millions of rubjfcts.

His Highness has hi= palace high ii*. on tbe ton of a hill, within the embattled walls of a fortified city. To enter this city one must pass through great gates and over the drawbridges of a splendid lake. .In fact, the City of Bhuj..of which probably nine-tenths of those who rend those linns have never heard, is a wonderful walled stronghold, capable of housing all Hr-1 people of Kutch in tune of war, and which even to-day would be n hard nut to crack for ',' e soldi rs of the King-Emneror. if ever the dav cam' that Britain fou-'d herself se'Hously at loggerhet^s with the Kutchi sovereign.'' \ white man is almost a rara avis within the walls of Bhuj. and when (he writ- drove through the city in one of the Rao-Sahib's carriages, to pay a ceremonial call upon his high- i . -s, thp natives gazed at their monarch's girst in open-eyed nmazorp"tit.
