SnfiRIFF SALE AT GOLDEN CACHE. , Deputy Sheriff Webb who hat been in Lillooet for the past week went up to the Golden Cache mine yesterday morn- inn and fold by public auction all the machinery, tools etc, in connection with the company as sale advertised. No excitement whatever prevailed in town and only a few attended the sale at the mines a distance of twelve miles. The •ale took place sharp at 2 o'clock and the biddiniiwaa started by John Marshall at $1,000 and Colonel Rives raised itto$!,500, Marshall then went $1,750 and Hives $2,000. Marshall's last bid was $2,250 and Rives made it $2,500 the chattel , etc., were knocked down to him at that pri.e Marshall not going any higher. The property was under mortgage to ■i the debenture holders ant' the result of the sale of yesterday will go to the debentures holders and not on the execution of John T. Carroll as might be inferred. Tnere is yet about $4,000 against the company which will have to be realized iiow ihe sale of the r*al property. This will doubtless take place soon. Mission, Junction and Westmins'.ar Junction, and passengers travelling to other points will have to go by tbe local train. Tne running time of the fast train is about 8 hours between Vancouver and Ashcroft, which includes a stop of 30 minutes at North Bend for meals, so it will be wen that considerable time is gained over tbe present schedule and passenger! will not have the occasion to complain of the slowness of travelling as heretofore.

B.C., FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1899. .1 THE CRIMINAL CODE. An Ottawa despatch says: The bill proposed by Mr. Mills in the senate to amend the criminal code provides a large number of changes, principally on matter? which have been brought to the attention of the government from time to time by women's associations and labor organizations. Some of the changes were proposed in 1807 by Sir Oliver ■tlvfowat ana were rejected by the senate. It is intended, for instance, to amend the law in the case of the seduction of a tiirl under 16 years of aire by striking out " of previous chaste character." It will not be necessary to prove this to obtain a conviction. It is also proposed to aid " shop girls and domestic servants " to those of factories and workshop, making it an indictable offence for any foreman or employer seducing any one of these in his employ. This waB rejected by the tenate in 1897. The subject of lotteries is also dealt with, and where such are permissable for the encouragement of work of art the pictures must be delivered and the option that a money prize may be taken instead is done away with. Section 520, in regard t-> combinations is changed so that it will not apply to workmen who will not combine for their own protection. Burglary is also made an offence punishable by the lash. In respect to selling obscene picture ihe word "publicly" is omitted so that those who make a sale whether privately or publicly can be punished. There are a number of other important changes. The Height of Impudence. The folio .vine incident which actually occurred, quite recently, will take some heating for barefaced cheek. A 'lady' living in one of the best neighborhoods of Southport ordered some very expensive mantles and jackets to be sent to her on approval, but distinctly wished them not to be delivered until Saturday afternoon. Of course, expecting it would lead to business, a choice selection was despatched to her exact commands. Monday morning arrived and about ten o'clock the approbation parcel was brought in, with a very polite note, saying Mrs.— was extremely sorry, but nothing 6ent met with approval, apologizing for the trouble, etc. The goods were taken out of the paper, brushed, and folded in tbe ordinary way, but in doing so, in the pocket of a very line seal Bkin jacket, what was to be found but a neat little prayer book ! It was duly sent to the owner.—'Tit-Bits.' A down east editor has drawn up some new game laws, which he wants adopted. The following is a summary: "Book agents may be killed from October 1 to September 1; spring poets, from March "1 to June 1; scandalmongers, from April 1 to February 1; umberella borrowers, from August 1 to November 1, and Feb. 1 to May 1, while every man who accept! a newspaper two yearB, and, upon Being presented with his bill, says: "I never ordered it! maybe killed on the spot, without reserve or relief." the streets of Ymir, and a source of continual annoyance to ladies, the authorities have decided to put a atop to it, and section 207 of the Criminal Code of Canada will be strictly enforced.

We Canadians are so much custi med to hear the practice of drinking beer and other beverages, malt, vinous andBpirit- ous, denounced as a sin, that it iR_ boitip wliat refreshing to see the subject treated from a new and novel standpoint. It was so treated by professor lvoester, principal of the university of lionn, in a recent address to the students. Beer-drinking by German students is carried te great excess, Drinking bout* are matters of every day occurrence, ami sometimes thev end only when one sidi or the other is under the table. Professor Koester objects to these excesses, buthe bases his objection en theground that they v.olate tne rules of good taste. Hen is pari of his advice to the students: "Drinking i* advantageous for tin enlivement and refreshment of the organism ; it widens the heart and the brain. It is likewise profitable to tin social organism when it, adds to its cheerfulness and health * * In the rules of drink there is charm and witchery just as in the ttiles of poetry and of the arts. .Inst as in poetry rhythm ami metre give to slow words energy and motion so do the metrical rules of dunking give a flow and an animation, an intellecual mobilization to the spiritual life of the. drinking bout to which students are directed. But metre is tie art of measure, not a training in ui- restraint.'" Here is food for reflection by our Canadian advocates of total abstinence and prohibition. Instead of putting themselves in opposition to other people's thirst lor beer how would it do to so utilize that thirst as to make it the means of inculcating the principles of True, the Beautiful and the Good? We know of several eople in Hamilton who would he glad to assist personally in promoting the cause of beei-diinkin a line art.—Hamilton Herald. impeachment and heard his words. Ilh cry movid me to tears, hut lie quickly tecovered, and his face resumed in- natural airy, artless look. As you know he could pain nobody." The oration, as it appeared the following week in the local paper, was as follows : "Our brother is in the cold ground, no more sad angler on life's tide. lean see his spanking spirit's eye among the chase stars, contemplating the failure of his axe to make clean our hearts, and met.hink I see his noble liniments imprinted on every rock, tree and fence in the country, with whose sistery he is so closely connected. During the recent controversies of our people I have heaid him declare whilst his beer descending -wept, Ids bosom, that iie wished all differences of sex might be ended, and, while he waB a mare, frequently made himself horse on the subject. His atempts to stop our rights resulted in his removal from oflice by foul deceit. Oh ! study deceit! I was with him when he received the news of his impeach men I and heard his words.

St. Paul, Mnn., June 13—A verv jjeavy storm, possibly a tornado, is ic- uftid to have swept over Hastings, fiftmi'i,, and lluilson and New Richmond, INVir., hifct night. One report esiimatts f,lie mill) 1 er of dead at New Richmond it 2C0. Wires.aredovyn'and it is difficult _o vei il'y ai.y of the reporty.

Here is some wholesale advice from the LMedical Record: "Drink less, breathe fn.ore; eat less, chew more; ride less, [walk more; clothe less, bathe more; fworry less, work more; waste less, give ■inoie; write less, read more; pi cadi less, ■practice more."

A correspondendent wants to know iwhat Queen Victoria's name is. Her "maidens name was Azo:i, but were she lid lay aside her present designation her Iname wiuld be Mrs. Wettin, and not LMis. Guelpb, as is commonly believed. fSh§ .would hold the name W1 ttin by ivirtue of her hiarriage to Prince Albert, Iwhose real name was Albert Wettin. A Georgia editor who tried to ride a r"bicyc e wrote as follows: "These bladder-wheeled bicycles are 'disabolical devices of the demon of darkness. They are contrivances to trap the Ijfeet of the unwary and ekiu the nose of " he innocent, They are full of guilt anc (ec.it. ' When you think you have Doken one lo ride and have subdued i.s satanic nature, behold it bucketli yon off in the road and tareth a g'cat hole in your pants. Look not upon the bicycle when it bloweth up its wheels, for it bucketh like a bronco and hurtelh you like thunder! Who hath skinned legs? Who hath a bloody nose? Who hath ripped breeches? They that daily along wilh a diabolical bicycle." Superintendent P. S. Huzzy, of tbe Provincial Police, has sent chief of Po- lice Ri ed, of Seattle, a circular offering a reward of $100 for there-capture of Garret Leigina, who killed Fred Bower at Atlin city on May 4th and rescaped from the officers on May 11th. Leigina is a Get man, but steaks good English. He is described as fair and wearing a ainal 1 beard, his forehead is high and marked by t»o very piominent protuberances, and his upper front teeth are widely separated. When he escaped his legs were shackled together. Chief Engineer Cambie, of the Can- Bdian Pacific Railway, is reported to have expressed the opinion, founded on his observations, that tbe prospects of a flood on Ihe Fraser are being reduced daily, but that there is a prospect of very high water on tbe Columbia, Mr. J. R. Anderson, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, who has just returned to Victoria after at tend ing meetings of farmers' Institutes on the Mainland,, reports the rivr at Mission to he at the 15-foot level and falling slightly. This is a long way below high water mark of 1894, and people are begining to believe, in spite of tbe prophecies to the contrary, that tbere will oe no floods t'ds year. Perrier not Insane. The report of the decision of the medical board of examiners who have been investigating as to the sanity of Perrier, at Westminster the murdeier, has been sent to Ottawa. The examiners find t hat Perrier is perfectly sane. The department of Justice is now considering whether the law shall take its course. An answer is expected at any time by the local authorities.
