Sinclair of New Westminster, tendering on behalf ot the Fia.e,- Valiey x tie and Cement company, with which the Sinclair Construction Company has been incorporated, has secured the contract from the Dominion fcovemment for the Jetty to be built at tbe mouth of the Fiaser river. This was the news receive I by Mrs. Sinclair yesterday morning In a te.e- gram from her husband, who accompanied bis bid ln person to Ottawa. Mr. Sinclair put in the lowest tender of $171,000 for the 6900 feet of Jetty which is the first instalment on the work to be constructed on the north side of the river at the Sandheads. The Norton Griffiths Consti uction Company were the closest competitors with a bid of $190,000. Residents of New Westminster will learn this news with great Interest, as Mr. Sinclair ls a very old timer in construction work in this province, and many local men are associated with him in the new company, lt U wei. known that his Aim obtained the con tract for the West End sewer, and h>. has botn responsible for imny wdhs in many different cities of British Columbia.

What ls lt? It is to te the llrst man-made bi.d to fiy in biitisii Columbia, and, is tbe creation of two local men, charlee H. Rod- dls, wbo has charge of tne conveyancing department of the People's Trust Company ln this city, and hid colleague, Ralph Keast, of Vancouver, it ls a monoplane, based on the famous Bleriot macnine, but designed and built by these two local inventors. It is full of devices and patents, the result of months of careful work by the two young men, and when it is finished, and that day is near, tbey hope that they will have built the fits, machine to tly in Brl ish Coiumb.a For nine months they have been working on this child of their brains, and lt Is their ambition to have every part periect. Within a month, says Mr, Roddls, the work will be finished, the parts will be assembled, and then k will be but a matter of time and practise till tbe artificial bird is soar.us in the air. Charles Rod .'is is an Englishman, who lias lived ln Vancouver for about three years, experimenting ln wireless telegraphy and aeioplane building and wording for the People g Trust at tbe same time. He is still a young man, and modest withal, but lie will talk about the "Petrusco," his "veiy own*' Invention. Qnce launched he ls hard to follow as he runs through a maze of technical terms���trusses and stays, cycles and warping wings and patent flywheels���but here are a few facts gleaned from this harvest of info.nn- tion. The monoplane, when assembled, will measure 35 feet across the wings. and 24 feet from end to end of the body. It will weigh 575 lbs, and havo a lifting power of 300 lbs. Compare with this/ a very similar machine, a Bleriot. which has flown the Engllsn channel, and weighs 750 lbs., and carries two passengers with but a 25 boreepower Anzani engine. The Petrusco will be equipped with an Kldrids.e 50 horsepower, two-ejc.e thi ee port water and uli-cooled engine. A particular featui'fe of the machine io A traclo;- propellor built and designed by tha Inventors themselves, une of these is made of spruce, and the other of laminations of sprue* en* Mixta. Another special point ls a patent flywheel, "which," said the inventor proudly, "since it was invented by us. has been adopted by some of the lead ing aeronauts and aeroplane builders of Great Britain, ln Eld ridge's catalogue you can see It quoted as the 'Vancouver monoplane engine.'" A patent vaporiser, an automatic carburettor, and a duplex ignition system developed from Mr. Rod lis* own experiments are other novelties ln ths construction. "Our planes ere made to onr own design, too, without trussing,' stay- wires, or ips, but they aie son constructed thst the wings can be warped. We also obtain a third more lifting capacity than other machines rrom the deviation of the angle of Incidence from the under side of the wing and a stream-line effect on the back ot the wing, which almost eliminates air resistance." The flying machine will be regulated, when in the air, by natural mo tions. Accordingly the flyer will bs strapped In, and just behave as if he were riding a "wheel." All the con tr'ol ls" from one wheel with a loose rost, so that the steering and balano fng will be almost automatic, so long as the air-man has hold of the steering gear. Just to give a finishing touch to the whole affair it will be fitted with a miniature wi eless apparat us with a ran0e of 25 mi es, aad weighing only two lbs. "We Intend to show our machine," said Mr. Roddls, "at tbe Vancouver Automobile show in April, \\* have made arrangements wltb. the Vancouver Exhibition Association to assemble the ports In the basement of one ot their buildings, and that wll bo an ideal location to try lt out In." "But aren't you going to 'ea-n to tly first before trying It?" the inventor waa asked.' "No. We have got a leate of S00 .acres on Lulu Island, and we mean t* Surprised If!

This, the highest honor the citizens of Lon.ton can bestow, bas been the coveted possession of the first British statesmen and warriors all through history.

He is given the right ot ingress and egress and freedom from arrest within tbe city limits. He may even raise an army In defence of the King, or to safeguard civic rights.

MANACLED WHEN HE HEARD SENTENCE New York, Jan. 23.���For the flrst time in the criminal history of New York a man was sentenced to deata here with his hands manacled and heavy chains about his legs. The prisoner was Joseph Serrone, regarded as one of the most desperate men ever connected with crime in New York City. Serrone murdered his wife, Kate, last October, by cutting her thra it from ear to ear with a lazor. During the progress of liis trial and conviction last week he attempted to murder one of the Jurors. Then he gashed his throat wth a piece of glass and fought the Jail attaches until he wa3 clubbed into unconsciousness. When Serrone learned today that he was to be sentenced by Judge Poster, he Jerked the bandage from hi* throat and attempted to re-open the wound. Again he fought with the guar-ls until he was clubbed Into -unconsciousness. Later, wben ho had uttlclc.ntly recovered, be ��u man- \' acted and chained and carried into tbo \ courtroom. Tben the doors were or- dered closed and Judge Foster sentenced Serrone to be electrocuted some time during the week cf February 26. only to tbe telephone calls. It waa an Item that annoyed bim, for his Income was not large. So he conferred with his wife as they had agreed they would do *Vhen they were married, when a matter of importance botbeied either of them. As a result of the conference���it has not been disclosed whether the husband or the wife was th��-author of tbe idea���this plan waa put Into effecc and it worked successfully all summer and late Into the fall. The husband knew every evening by siv o'clock whether he could get home. The understanding with his wife was that if the telephone rang between flve minutes to six o'clock and flve minutes after six o'clock she was not to answer but start the dinner going. It was the signal to ber that he was coming bome. Of course if he was not coming home be would telephone to her earlier and let her know, and then he would have to pay. But when the wife got the signal at tbe witching hour of six o'clock and did not touch the telephone, central sweetly told him "Don't answer," and he said "Thank you" and hiked for the train, not having had to contribute a cent to the telephone company.

PAGE THREB CAHLYLt'S ME AT ECCLEFECHAN House Where 8age Was Born to Bought for British Nation. Be London, Jan. 23.���The house at Ecclefechan, in the district of Annandale, ln tbe county of Dumfries, where Thomas Carlyle was born, "in a room conveniently small," on Dec. 4, 1795, is to be purchased iffcr the nation. Some time ago the house became the projerty of a London syndicate, who bought it from the then owner, who was a nephew of tbe "Sage of Chelsea." The Interior bf the house underwent etxenslve alterations and was furnished to represent the rooms as ravorea aaugnter ,n ���r they actually were In the boyhood of | mentary nomination to Carlvl* Vfni����f in����~>-*i- " Carlyle. Many interesting relics were WOMAN MAYOR WIN8. I After a struggle lasting for neany ten months, Mrs. Ella ; Wilson, the woman mayor of Hunne-, well, Kansas, has won out and is today in supreme command of the town, j with as much real authority as anv; Mayor ln the United States. It ls a i good old saying that "God and one j make a majority," and Mrs. Wilson i triumphed because the things she J was fighting for were right, and bc-j cause sbe was enabled to enlist tU--1 sympathy of the governor of tha Stat? j and other powerful influences. Still.! in Hunnewell the Mayor seemed lo be In a minority, for certainly there was not a strong enough local ODin- ion behind her to force her colleagues to render her common respect, anl she had arrayed against her all the evil lnflences of a town tbat prided it self on being lively. Now that she has succeeded, Mrs. Wilson may flnd that everybody was with ber from t'ie flrst, and that she is the most popular citizen in the place, and perhaps a favored daughter ln line for comtill- some h|,rher being transferred from London to Ec cletechan. Of late years an ever-Increasing number of admirers of Car- office. Opposed by Colleagues. Mre.'Wilson'was elected Mayor las? April without any active candidature ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^aaaaaaaaa��� on her part. Indeed, It would snnear lyle have visited the house in the I that in hamlet described by Carlyle in "Sar tor Resartus" as "Entepfujil." It is not one of the most beautiful hamlets in Scotland, but It has many charms to the .receptive mind. Carlye living there was within hearing of two mighty voices of nature: The Sol way Firth ebbing and flowing within six miles of his boyhood home, and thc mountains of Cumberland, within sight. Visitors from this side visit the hamlet and tbe house in great numbers every summer and as many as 1200 have entered their names in the i isitors' books ln the course of one tourist season. Kansas people may be elected who are not candidates at nil; for, Mrs. Wilson, when told th-U she hai | flrBt been elected mayor, declared that sbe conld not dream of accepting tho offlce, because she was too busy at home. After awhile, however, she concluded that she would be mavor. If only to carry out some reform ideai that she cherished, such as stopping the illegal sale of Honor and closine the gambllne dens that infested the town. Whether lt whs h��r reform program or her sex that influenced the other members of the ro'inrl'. tN�� fart ls that from the first they strenuously ornosed the woman mayor.

The Town "Wide Open." Undeterred, the mayor calle.l tba first meeting of the council, but nona of the councillors turned up. She later learned that they had hei J a secret meeting In the bedroom of a hotel. The business transacted at this gecret meeting the mayor declined to recognize as legal, and she blocked lt, for lf the Council could block the Mayor, the Mayor could block the council, ani so no business was done. In the meantime, the element in the town that hoped to see lt "wide open" took advantage of tbe deadlock, apd with no one to enforce the law, disorder and vice flourished as never before. It was at this stage of the struggle that stories came from Hunnewell, telling what a failure the womau mayor was, and otherwise attempting to discredit her efforts. Mrs. Wilson wanted to appoint a marshal, but tbe council would not sanction tbe appointment, declaring that the town could not afford the expense. In her trouble the' mayor went to the governor of the state. He told her to appoint a marshal), and tnat the governor wouid see that he was paid. Women Wo.* for Nothing. So Mrs. Wilson went home, and appointed one of her women friends a maishall and another woman f.ieni city clerk, 'l'he governor alto show- ej'his interest in Mrs. Wilsons fight by instructing his attorney-general to keep his eye on Hunnewell. so that the flrst time the councilmen were caught tripping the state could act. The attorney-general then noti.led tne councilors that it was their duty to attend the council meetings. This procured their attendance, but failei to make them support the mayor, ani despite her efforts, not a sinr; e official was appointed save .

Worldly Wiseman is a great mutti mil- I lionaire who is bored with life and i can see nothing in (. hiistmas. Here U ; what he says about his own . experi- ! ence at Chiistmas: "There's my wife.

What's the use of. trying to surprise him? I suppose It's the same way with the presents he sends me. I wish he'd not send me anything biitjcome over and spend a week with me. But, of course, I can't' expect that. He'd be bored to death. Johnny Wijjg* Is Different. He comes Into contact with Johnny Wiggs. Here is ^lr. Dunne's characterization, or rather 'description of Johnny Wiggs: "lt is entirely possible that you have never heard of Johnny Wiggs. He li neither great enough nor bad enouah to be celebrated by the fame which is blown through the trumneti of ��� the metropolitan press. But lie is a prominent man. nevertheless, as you would know lf you tend the South Middle- vale (N. J.)

"An inexhaustible confidence in the goodwill of all mankind, and "A stomach capable of digesting hard coal. "As you may guess, Christmas was a great time for Mr. Wiggs. He spent a part of every sight of the year just before going to sleep thinking about next Christmas. The poet remembered a Christmas eve he had spent at Johnny Wlggs' house, In South Middlevale. After supper the children were shooed to bed and the 'pat lor,' which had been hermetically sea ed for two days, was opened, disclosing the Christmas tree upon which lt was Mr. Wlggs' duty to put the finishing touches ot a great artist in Christina tree dressing. Mr. Wlggs had done the needful but unimaginative work of stringing the popcorn and festooning lt on the branches of the tree stick ing heie and there some colored glass- balls, like an assistant preparing a canvas for a painter. 8lght for the Peat. "It was a fine sight and one which the poet wlll put.

'"Wouldn't you move that candle over a little to the left?' says the old gentleman. 'I don't know but what lt would be a good idea,' says the young er artist And he makes the changs and then steps back and surveys It like a painter who has Just finished a bold stroke with his brush and wants to see the effect from a little distance.

London, Out,, Jan. 23.���The jury which Investigated the double murder ot Abraham jolins and Charles Nan- dee, Indians, of Waipole Ialand, returned a verdict blaming Stephen Kiyoajtk, another Indian, for shooting them. Coroner Ferguson at onoe issued an order for Klyosha's arrest on a charge of murder, and he was arraigned before Magistrate Bookman qf Fort Lambton and committed for trial in April. Kiyosbk was lodged in Sarnia Jail. Fiosse Williams who was wltb him on the night of the killing, waa freed, but Is held as a materia} witness. The Crown's whole case rests on the sensational story pt Mrs. Joseph Williams.

With the aid of a smart Interpreter, who translated her guttural tongue Into English she described to the Jury how Kiyoshk went to Nahdee's house, quarrelled with him, and then struck off across the fields, saying that he would return with a gun and kill Nahdee. About 6 o'clock on New Year's night she and ber daughter, she said, were sitting alone In tbeir cabin when their attention was attracted by loud talking trom the river. On Investigating they saw two boats making their way through the Ice. In one was Adam \* Johns and the prisoner Kiyoshk. The other was manned by Fiosse Williams, a young Indian girl who lived with Kiyoshk, and whom he spoke of aa his wife.

The speaker made him withdraw ttie word "hordes." Mr. Lancaster went on to say that the doctrine laid down by some meant that there was one law for Roman Catholics and another for others, and concluded with an argument that par liament had the inherent right to remedy the evil of which he complained. Mr. Borden, in moving his amendment that the debate be adjourned, said the question was of great importance to many people in Canada, anj before passing any bill it would be better to have the judgment of the supreme court and of the privy [ council on the existing marriage law.

Tbeee were convicts, all' murderers under life sentences, who *6r some reason bad escaped ths death penalty, and Included sli eaom- en. for the Maharaja le tbe sblp used by tbe colonial Indian government to transport convicts to tbe penal settlements nesr Port Blair, South Andaman island, a distance of 050 miles fiom Calcutta. The prisoners were all manacled and shackled about the ankles, wltb cbsloe fssiened to bands at tbo wrist Tbey were a despicable lot At night a continual moaning and cursing snd hopeless sobbing came up from the hatches and mnde sleep out of the question for me. though tbe European offlcer Id the steamer's cabin apparently slept undisturbed. Early tbe first morning I went on deck and learned that two of tbe male prisoners were ill and had been brought up to tbe deck for sir. Tbey were closely guarded, nnd raw recruits were stationed at the railing to prevent tbem from committing suicide by Jumping overboard Into the Hugll river. "The Aiidmnnns are literally the bnmes of murderers. The inhabitants nre tbe mont vicious memhers of sn older civilization and tbe uncivilized bead hunters, nmotig whom murder is n sport jind a pastime. In the settlement are about 1.700 prisoners, including 800 women. On arriving st I'ort Blnlr the prisoners first spend six months In solitary confinement In tbe | cellular Jail of Viper Island. Tbey are then transferred to one of the associated Jails nud the comparative blessing of hard Inbor In compnny wltb others, though still occupying separate cells nt night. After n year and a half of this they become slaves, working In and about the settlement during tbe dny and sleeping In barracks at night, always closely guarded At tbe expiration of five years a convict becomes eligible to Join the colony of ���self supporters' nnd live In tbe village, wbere he earns bis living ln hts rbosen wny, lives In bis own bouse and ean send for bis wife nnd children or marry n convict woman. . la 1 limited nana* ha teacomaa a vatasr- \ fsmtllaa. but to always carefully wstcbsd sort cannot leave tbe settlement without permission.

Occasional attempts at eecape are made by tbe prisoners, but tbe effort Inevitably prove disastrous. Tbe fugitive, finding bis conditional freedom worse than servitude, either dies at the hsnds of tbe Jsrawa warriors, falls a victim to fever or other disease or starves. There Is also a system In wue by which the more friendly trlbee of envagee co-operato with tbe authorities In capturing re- raped convlcte aad receive rewarde for tbe return of tbe unhappy deserters. More often, however, the bead banters kill the fugitive and return only tbe bead, receiving tbe reward Just the same, the killing adding seet to tbe chase and the return of the head being the easiest nnd quickest way of renting tbe reward. "Under these conditions there are few attempts nt escape, though many remarkably hazardous dashes for liberty hnve been made from time to lime, which, though futile, were raoet daring. Some time ago the steamer Knlatn picked up a poor, emaciated wretch wbo wns sighted on a email linmboo raft off tbe Arakan cOnst. He was later found to be nn escaped convict. When picked up be bad been on the raft for twenty-nine days during one of tbe southwest monsoons snd bad secured water by catching the mln and sucking It from his turbao and loin cloth. He lived upon flying flsh tbnt flsw aboard the raft, eating ihem raw. He was swept otf the raft many times Ity the waves, but bad managed to cling to It. After a month In n hospital at Rangoon he was returned to prison and solitary confinement. "Another dart** attempt at escape was made by a party of elx cpnvlcts who were sent with two native police- I men to a small i Island off the middle I Andamnn to work. They managed to i escape from the guards nnd. hoisting the will of tbe smnll boat, started oat In a gnlp. After wren days of heavy weather they were dashed upon tbe rock* of the Tenasserim const, and the Imnr wns wrecked. All escaped with their lives and eventually reached the Siamese horder. where they were apprehended by. the local nuthorttlea and returned to the prison."
