NELSON, B. C, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 1904. NUMBEB 8 F~T\ ales of the 1 own T, If tho Jessie Shirley company had given "Tlie Iron Master;' on the first evening of tlieir week's engagement, instead of "The Princoss of-Patches," it is more than probable tlie receipts for the week would have been greatly increased, notwithstanding the fact that the attendance lias been-large every night. The company seems to be well adapted for* a play like''The Iron Master," or "Lost Paradise," the title under which it was originally produced. As "Reuben Warren," the superintendent of the iron works, George McQuarrie demonstrated his splendid ability as an actor, and Miss Shirley, as "Margaret Knowltoti," showed what she could do in a really good part, at least from the' specalors' point of view. In this play Mr. Forbes was also very acceptable, and the same might be said of nearly every other member of the company. In speaking thus of the performance of "The Iron Master," it must not be inferred that the company failed iu the other plays. Such a deduction -would be far from tbe truth. The only reason for specially mentioning this performance is tbat the play is the one in which the company seems to give the best satisfaction. Several of the other pieces are at least equal to the dramas which constitute the repertoire of the average travelling company, and It cannot be charged that the Shirley company gave one really bad performance throughout their engagement. "The Village School Teacher," or "Doris," is a very attractive English pastoral drama,, and Miss Shirley, in the part of -Doris Vane,". ..never fails to grasp what is' required.of her. Geo. McQuarrie, as the Irish doctor, is also remarkably good. He never breaks in the Irish dialect, something unusual With the average actor. As "Stephen Brand," the convict, Frank McQuarrie was probably seen at his best, and Wilson Forbes give a polished impersonation of the old rector. "Camille" is another piece in which Miss Shirley, George McQuarrie and Forbes Wilson were seen to great advantage. In a way, "Camille" may be regarded as the strongest piece in the repertoire, although not the most popular with -th,e audience. The average theatre-goer does-not-relish-pieces-of aasombren character. Altogether the company is a good one, and well-earned the generous patronage it received during its Nelson enagencient. To-night the engagement closes with "A Farmer's Daughter." the state owns a majority of the stock in some local railroad that has not been earning dividends. On the motion .of Ihe private minority stockholders, United States District Judge Paruell appointed receivers for the road. This was considered contrary to the interests of the state and Chief Justice Fuller, sitting in the court of appoals, suspended tlie order appointing the receivers, whereupon the govehor of the state took possession of the property.' The editor of a Raleigh paper who had criticized Judge Purtiell very severely for turning the state's property over to pri vat'e receivers had been brought up before the court, fined ��2,000 for contempt aud denied the right of appeal. ^He refused to pay the fine and was sent to" jail, whereupon. his"friends went before the federal court of appeals; for a writ of habeas corpus and obtained liis liberty. The i tiling follows rather closely that of all recent court decisions on the power of judges to "punish by contempt. It was held that this applied only to acts of con'empt done in the presence of the coui;t ordisobed-' ience or resistence to lawful orders. It is held that newspaper criticism however severe, is not an obstruction of the process of the court or a disobedience to auy order. Unless this principle is, maintained, judges will escape all sense of public responsibility for their acts. It i.s generally recognized that attempt to influence either judge or jury while they arc deliberating over a case is improper, though we doubt if it is punishable as contempt, as The Economist has contended before in speaking of the.Canadian courts. .But when the act of either judge or'.'jtiry'is done and becomes .matterof public record, it is just a much proper subject of public criticism as the act of any other pub'-' lie.oflicei1;;- It appears that this, like many punishments of newspapers for contempt, was a case of judicial bad temper? EVENTS AND GOSSIP Mrs. J. E. Annable is visiting friends in Rossland. fell him on Friday at his mine was not as serious as at first reported. All old-timers in British Columbia are ticijUaintcd with James Orr, the first member of the Legislature from Cariboo district. That was in 1803, long before Confederation. Mr. Orr is now eighty years of age, but he has never altogether recovered from the Within the next few weeks a judge ���will be appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the superannuation of Mr. Justice Drake. The Legislature of British Columbia has decreed that a resident judge should he appointed for the Kootenays. and now would be the proper time to bring the matter before the Dominion Government. A great deal of the litigation of British Columbia originates in the Kootenays, and the necessity of having a resident j udge is quite apparent. Besides, it would give the new judge the advantage of a -delightful location. Every judge who has visited Nelson has expressed the conviction that this place is second to none in the Province from a residential point of view. A move to have a resident judge appointed should be made at once. The local bar should meet and communicate their desires to. Mr. Galliher. mining fever. For the past few years he has been in the government service, but the othor day ho bought the regulation outfit and started out on a prospecting trip. He left Vancouver by train for Spence's Bridge, and from there with a packhorsc struck out for Similkameen district, where he will relocate a quartz property which was disco vered,longago.*-*lIe believes that the early opening up of the Siiuilkameen district; will make his prospect valuable,, and his old friends will be pleased if lie realizes his expectations. Vancouver, not Nelson, lacrosse team will play Revelstoke on Labor Day. Sandon, Slocan, Cranbrook and Revelstoke will celebrate Labor Day. Local nimrods report grouse-hunting as being the most unsatisfactory In many years. Chief Jarvis was presented wich a purse previous to his departure for Toronto on his vacation. -The theatre was well filled this after- r / noon, when "A Child of the Regiment" was produced. Subscriptions for the Nelson Fair are coming in in a manner to make Secretary Annable smile. Dr. O. M. Jones, one of the most noted surgeons on the coast, was in the city this week on professional business. , Dr..Macdonald, of Brandon, brother of W. A. Macdonald, K. C, returr.ed home this morning after visiting Nelson for a week. Mrs. Thurman, mother of W* A. and George Thurman, and/ CharlieoJam- icson, their nephew, left."for home at Winnipeg last Thursday' ; The friends of Dr. Arthur are much gratified that the accident which be- Kaslo city council is protesting against the propbsed concentrator at the Cork, because of contaminating the water supply of that place. The Nelson basket ball team will go to Slocan city on Labor Day to play the team of that place, and it is needless to say that Nelson will win. On Sept. 14th, the ratepayers of Kaslo will vote on a by-law to exempt a zinc separating plant from all municipal taxation for a period of ten years. The Nelson lacrosse boys are practising every evening getlingready for the! game with Cranbroak during the Nel-i son Fair. They will leave immediately' after the fair for New Westminster. The Telford case is now on in Vancouver, and it was expected would be i completed to-day. The deputy attorney-general created a sensation in the court Thursday by applying to havo the charge changed from manslaughter to that of murder. When Telford was committed on the charge of manslaughter he elected to taken speedy trial before County Court Judge Bole. If Mr. McLean had succeeded in having the charge changed to murder, the trial would have had to come before a Supreme Court Judge and a jury. Judge Bole refused the application and the trial proceeded. Last night Mr.- Starkey reported to the Board of Trade the resnlt of his mission to Winnipeg to interview the C.rP.R. transportation officials. That bis report, which has been outlined in these columns before, was eminentlv v. J - *��� satisfactory, was.best evidenced by the fact that he was tendered a hearty vote of thanks by the board for his work. The suggestion has been made that some kind of-official opening of the new exhibition buildings should take place, and many believe that it should take the form of a band concert. The Nelson City Bandjbasdone its best to entertain the citi^nd this slimmer and it would be a fitting acknowledgment of their services if that organization was permitted to open the exhibition buildings, at which a small admission fee would be charged. W. G. Gillett is now putting the finishing touches on the new Fair building, and expects to have it completed by the 10th of September, five days earlier than the contract calls for. Visitors to the new building are surprised to find it such a commodious structure, and it maysurprise evenNelson citizens to learn that it will be one of the lar-. gest exhibition buildings in the west. The committee in charge ofthe decoration have made their plans for beauti- a fying the buildings, the material for decorating having-been ordered. If the present plan is carried out, the building will present a really beanti- ful spectacle when it is thrown open to the visitors.7 Secretary Annable believes in .brightening upn things, and with that end in view will' have the building so decorated as to create the best possible impression to the visitor upon entcriug the place.' Large exhibits are coming from Kaslo, Trail, Fire, Valley, Vernon, Creston���Grand Forks, Greenwood and .Midway, and many applications are coming in for space for display of manufactured^ar- ticles.

FEMALE EDUCATION MedjcaLauthoritiesjBontinue to con- It is a peculiar circtiinstance and one worthy of note that the majority ol women who come late to tlie theatre are usually the homeliest fomale3 in the community. The at'entioti; of the writer was drawn to this peculiarity theother evening, and a careful study ofthe faces of the various women'who came in late emphasized the truth of the contention. Handsome women are always in before the curtain goes up, while ugly looking females delay until the middle of the , first act, thereby displaying., their- homeliness and at the same time -exasperating everyone who is interested in the performance. tend, in spite of popular disapproval, that modern methods of education for women are gradually sapping their vi: tality,' impairing their health and unfitting them for the performance of their primal duiies as wives and mothers. Wc suspect that tlie woman president of Bryn Mawr college for women is right when she insists tliat female education is wrongly blamed for the common tendency and development of women in the great intermediate class which is most in evidence when the subject is under discussion. The-view of Miss Thomas, set out ln this place not long ago, was that women educated in colleges are quite as fit for marriages and marry quite as much as other women in the .same class. can_A cadeLmy^oTMedlei_n c__t hjs__s_u.bjec,t was discussed with a fullness and particularity that testifies to the deep feeling of the profession about it. We find the fullest and most intelligible report of a paper by Dr. Smith, of Toronto, who holds that modern education has impaired the happiness of individuals and the vigor of the race by preventing many thousands of women from becoming wives and mothers. Some time ago the supreme court of Missouri vindicated the right of free newspaper criticism of the courts in a rather important ruling. Lately the federal court of appeals for the state of mouth's leave of absence, and will Acting Chief of Provincial Police Bullock Webster has been granted a North Carolina has taken another step in the same direction. It seems that spend his vacation in the great Canadian summer resort. Nelson, B. C. She held that marriage bad declined throughout the great middle class, from which most college women are drawn, because, to put it crudely, the home education of women in that class is above their station. That is to say, nearly all of them have been taught to expect in marriage the luxury, freedom and irresponsibility enjoyed by women who carry large dowries to their husbands. Middle class men without great fortunes, Miss Thomas says, avoid as a costly luxury marriage with women who will not work with them like the lower, aud cannot share the cost of living with them like the wealthier class of women. At the recent meeting of tbe Ameri- Dr. Smith deals with college education less than with that ofthe secondary schools, which he insists train the brain at the expense of the body, interfere with the natural development of the latter at the most critical time, lay the foundation of future diseases that prevent inclination for or happiness in marriage, instil tastes and tendencies that make the highest duties and privileges of home life distasteful and impossible, and by generating obvious discontent and unhappiness In marriage, warn away from it the increasing myriads of bachelors and spinsters. .cerned.healthjs^not^sojmpoi'tant.-for, the man as the woman.'.' It is quite certain that Miss Thomas and Dr. Smith are looking at different aspects of the same fact; which 13 tliat the physical vigor of the great majority of American women is declining with their gain in mental deve lopment. Dr. Smith is not sure that this is moro true of women than of men ; but he thinks it vastly more important. It'may be necessary, he says, to sacrifice the phy-: sical vigor of the males by severe intellectual training in order to enable them better to earn a living and sup- port wives and families. We should think that he would confine this admission to the comparatively small number whose intellectual labor society demands. Wcshourd think that for the great mass who make a living by unintellectnal labor, he would be as careful to preserve the vigor of the males as that of the females. However, in his view some male deterioration may be endured if only the primitive vitality of the race is maintained in its wives and mothers. Phoenix Pioneer. About twenty men are working on the foundations for the new ore crusher at the Mother Lode mine. Abeut 40 men are emplooyed at the Emma, in Summit camp, 6 at the Oro Denoro and 7 at the Reliance. ' A fourteen inch vein of ore has been reached on the Barbara, near Greenwood, that runs close to ?100 a"ton. After the train wreck this week, stopping ore shipments, some of the furnaces at the Granby smelter were blown out for a day or two. Capt. eMorrison says that he will shortly resume work on the Blue Jay. This week he secured an assay of $37 from the face of the long tunnel, now in over 200 feet. This week Mclntyre & McDonald transferred the'borse whim from"the Strawberry mine, on tbe North Fork, to the Silver Iii ng claim, in Skylark camp, that is being worked under lease and bond by Mike Kane and associates. The water is being kept out of the Stemwinder mine, it requiring but a few hours each week or ten days.v This mine is to be worked when the Brooklyn is under way. This week Supt. Collins spent'several days in Greenwood and'at the Morrison mine, which is also to be gotten ready for operations shortlj*, being followed by the Athelstan-Jackpol group in due time.

Magee of the Spyglass returned Wednesday from a business trip t��> Trout Lake and Revelstoke. A tunnel is being run ou the Morning group, Rapid creek, to tap the main lead at a depth of 50 feet. From this deptn drifting will be done on the lead. The season's assessment work hi-ii been done on the Cranbrook group, Poplar creek, by Fred J. Hazen. Theie is a very large lead of quartz on the group, carrying good gold values. The tunnel on the Broken. Hill,' Rapid creek, is now in nearly a hundred feet. An additional 75 feet will .'~V\f have to be run before the rich lead of - -_ arsenical iron uncovered on thesur-' > Y_-,; face is reached. This will give a depth - :' .- of about 125 feet. Work will shortly be commenced on the group of claims on Poplar creek, bonded to Dr. McDougalll a short time,' ago by George Ross and John and James Caldwell. There are two groups, comprising four claims each, one between Poplar aud and Casca'de creeks, and the other adjoining the town of Poplar. Instructions were received from Dr. McDougall this week to commence running a tunnel on the Hercules group. . * The strike in the lower tunnel of the Spyglass is much more important than at first supposed. When first encotf.l- tered the lead was from ten to fourteen inches in width, but in tbe last ten feet driven it has widened to from 22 to 24 in-'hes.

The Grand Forks carnival committee appears to have got its affairs in bad shape. As the Sun of that city says, it is lamentable, inasmuch as the good name ofthe city is at stake. It appears that the committee finds that it has a deficit of about $1200. At present there are charges and counter charges being- toade. " The secretary of the committee states that the liabilities exceed the receipts by about $1200. This statement is doubted by a number of people, even by some who were connected with tbe enterprise. These people make Jhe assertion that there wasa sufficient amount of money taken into meet all obligations and leave a snug profit besides. In the meantime, however, the fact remains tbat there is an army ��f unpaid actors, entertainers, theatrical managers, newspaper men and mechanics who are spreading the news broadcast that they Lave been victimized. :- The concensus of opinion at Grand Forks appears to be that the good r^me of the city bas received a stain \ which it will take years to wipe out. gard to the militia Duudonald knew he would be retired. He did not complain that he had been unjustly treated, but he had the courage of his convictions and in expressing them publicly had magnanimously sacrificed himself in the interests of Canada and the Empire. Lord Dundonald had achieved his object, that of making the raising of* a strong militia the crucial question in the Dominion, and in the views expressed he had carried with bim the thinking people of Canada, the bone and sinew of the country, and the effect would be for the lasting good of Canada. Sir Charles entirely approved of the attitude of Lord Dundonald and was convinced no man in anj'thing like a similar position had done so much to advance the real better and higher interests of Canada ; of all men who had occupied the position not one .had given such a patriotic and imperialistic proof of his appreciation of the exigencies of the situation. Revised figures of the gold output of the Transvaal (South Africa) mines for July, 1904, show that it was not-so great as stated in the first cabled estimates. These latter were 325,000 ounces whereas the later figures for the month in question as 307,840 ounces. The output for the preceding month (June) was 308,219 ounces, and for the month of May preceding, 314,480 ounces. No explanation is made of the falling off in production in July, as compared with tbe two preceding months. The only possible explanation, and, probably the correct one, is that the larger mines temporarily reduced production, while a waiting the advent of Chinese labor, and for which, in order to systematicaliy provide, it may have been found necessary to re-arrange their . underground working methods. The report of production for the present month, will, when made known, furnish some fairly accurate idea of what may be expected from Chinese labor in the mines.

No newspaper or public man in the English speaking provinces has ever appealed to the peopleto vote against Sir Wilfrid Laurier because he is a French-Canadian. Such an appeal would beun-British and unfair and would not be listened to by a self-respecting electorate. On his personal qualification Sir : Wilfrid Laurier has as- much claim to the support and respect of Canadians of all classes as any other public man. He is judged purely on his political record and the recorded vote of the English-speaking provinces shows that. It remains for Sir Wilfrid Laurier's own ministerial colleagues and government organs in Quebec to claim that all FrenchtCauadians should vote against Mr, R. L.
