Owing to the milliner, in which they are arriving by one's and two's and the lack of any knowledge of the dates of their return beforehand it has been impossible to organize anything -in the nature of a public demonstration and reception. At the sayie time the HEltA...r> need hai dly assure the hoys that this is due to no lack of appreciation on lhe part of the citizens of Revelsloke of the gallant services rendered by their famous corps to the Empire. Their splendid leader is an officer whose name some sixteen years ago was a household word along the line of construction of the C. P. R. from Laggan to Revelstoke iind'hiter in 'S7 and 'SS throughout East Kootenay. wheie the now nourishing town " of Fort. Steele commemorates his name. In every possible way the .Strathcona's were identified with Western Canada and there was no corps serving in South Africa whose doing were followed with greater interest throughout this province. They have nobly sustained the honor of the West and" the name of Western men. Revelstoke is proud to have furnished its contingent to Strathcona's Horse 'and: to welcome her own members of tho corp9 back in her midat. snielted and refined, aud for this privilege the United States government, taxed the mine-owner S15 per t in on his lead; the British Columbia government taxed him two pet- cent on the value of liis output.

It is no������ at all probable that Mr. Sifton -will bring any more Doukhobors to Canada. They don't seem to have been exactly a success. Their advent was heralded far and ���������wide as the arrival of poor persecuted Christiana, who tor conscience sake were flying trom the tyranny of the creat white czar. They were' given assisted passages to Canada. Land ���������was allotted -to them in the garden spots ot the North West, and all went along as well as possible. Lady philanthropists visited them and went into ecstacies over their picturesque if somewhat barbarous costumes. The Philadelphia Quakers were also aroused and appearing to recognize some religious affinity between themselves and the Doukhobors, sent them large sums of money. For a while ail went well and Clifford Sifton posed as the liberator of a noble people from an intolerable bondage. Of late "however, a change ha3 come over the' scene. Shortly after their arrival it became apparent that the Doukhobors were not all that was claimed for them and for the last year or more they have been kicking tip ln good style, proving dead weights around the neck of the minister who doubtless now curses the day he first heard of them. Homesteads were allotted them in the most fertile portion of the country, but they objected, informing the government that it was contrary to the laws of heaven to hold land otherwise than as a community. It was in vain that they were informed that as soon as each homesteader got his title he might turn In his -farm to the community. They replied that by so doing they were sacrificing a principle which no besotted goTernment - would ever Induce them to do. This matter was keld ln abeyance, the harassed minister trusting that the worthy Russians might be induced to see the matter in another light. But in the meantime another thing cropped up, viz.. the marriage question and on i-hat abject the Doukhobors were Inflexible. They could not see why there should be any civil or religious celebration of the matrimonial tie, an fact they declared that anything mi the sort was abhorrent to God, and contrary to their religion, and .Siey would not tolerate lt for a moment.

The unsophisticated breed is known to be particularly susceptible to talk of this nature ai\d Mr. Prudhomme Is reported to have made a number of converts. It was known, however, that several of the Halfbreeds remained staunch to Mr. Davin and two gentlemen, Messrs. Marlett and Challoaer, went down to Willow Bunch to represent him at the polls. The emmlsaarles of Mr. Scott, however, had them arrested on some trumped up charge of trying to debauch (?) the electorate with whisky. They were kept in durance vile until after election day, and the Liberals wero ln a position to do as the������- pleased at the polls, were hauled beforo a magistrate, committed of a contravention of the election law and received a sentence. Both Mr. Chal- loner and Mr. Marlett protested loudly that tho whole affair was a Grit election dodge and carried their case to the Supreme Court with the result tnat tne conviction was quasneci.

Tho premier's smooth speeches on the war questions have been heralded far and wide by tho Liberal journals who with a triumphant "told you eo" inflection hava pomteti to tnem ns evidences or tho Imperial spirit of, Canada's first minister. Talking, however, Is cheap and with Iris dramatic Instinct Sir Wilfrid loses no opportunity to pose before the people of the Dominion, but he fails to back up his talk by actions. He has no reward to offer to Col. Sam Steel'o for his services to tho Empire which have been so great as to warrant and receive the thanks of the sovereign, save permission to return to a subordinate position in the .North west Mounted police. The case of Colonel Herchmer where the action condemns while the voice applauds, is another pointed instance. That officer although having brought the Mounted police to a state of efficiency never before attained was retired immediately on his return from active service, although he had considered lt his duty to' decline a stafi appointment in Africa that offered ���������bim greater emoluments than did his position as commissioner, of' tho Mounted police. ' . Canada cannot expect to have good officers as long as this policy of slighting their services is pursued. SCATTERED TO THE WINDS An Old Man Complies With the Ante Mortem Wish of His Brother. New York, March 17.���������Passengers on a Staten Island ferry boat, who Knew wnat tne Hinguiar actions oc an old man meant, stood with bared heads Saturday afternoon' when Alexander Becker, of Brooklyn, bowed with griet. stood with two friends on tlie upper deck of the boat:; and threw to the winds the ashes of "his twin brother Louis, who died on February 24. The body of Louis, according to his wish was cremated. The scattering of his ashes waa done because of a codhil to his will filed in the Surrogate's office in Brooklyn last Wednesday. It read: "I loied the sea all my life, and when I dio I want my ashes to be scattered over the Atlantic ocean." In obedience to the request. Alex- anaer, witn nis inenas. iionraea .a- Staten Island ferryboat intending to scatter the ashes in the lower bay. When off Robbins Roef they found the wind then blowing would not carry the ashes out to the Atlantic acean. Thoy remained on the boat and made several trips. Their frequent inquiries of the deck hands hands about the wind attracted attention, and when they reached Robbins Reef for the third time they found tlie wind was blowing westerly, and the old man with his friends went out on the upper deck. They were followed by many passengers, among them 13. . il. Muiler, county- clerk of Richmond county, and Councilman Joseph O'Gratly. Becker slowly took from his pocket a small package which he opened. All the passengers saw was a small amount of dust. No one spoke, but all took off their hats as Becker, looked at tho opening package, and then, with tears running down his wrinkled -cheeks.-held-it-out-as-far---a3-hIs= arm- could stretch. The high wind blew the ashes away in a twinkling, and the paper followed, but this dropped into thc water, while the ashes went on towards the ocean, and the cher- is:iea wish ot jl,ouis tseciter was granted. Louis Eecker was a chemist who after accumulating a fortune in this country, retired and began to indulge his passion for travel on the ocean. He sailed to every part of the globe, but had to give up on account of old ago a few years ago. Ho then made his home in Brooklyn, but every day lie walked to Coney Island and Razed on the ocean for hours. At night he would tell his brother nnd friends of for the water and would the robberB had brought with them. Rowe. with the cash stuffed satchel in his hand, backed out towards the door, and Keeper also made toward tho entrance of the bank. Just when it would seem the robbers would succeed in getting away Cashier Ryan leaped forward in an attempt to knock up the revolver of the man with the money. In the scuffle four shots were fired and Ryan fell to the floor shot through the groin by bullet from the pistol of Rowe. Mr. Faustenbaugh grabbed Rowe and after a ahort scuffle threw him on the floor. Keeper ran out of tho door. The noiso of tho shots attracted J. F. Leiter, who has a store near the building. He ran out with his shot gun and pursued Keeper for a block and shot him in the back of the head, when the robber surrendered. Tho wounded, cashier was token to his home after fhe capture of the desperadoes and diod tonight. A STORY OF WINE How a. Hungarian Nobleman Gave a Gift to the Prince of Wales The Hungarian journalist and politician, Kornel Abranyii'in his paper.' Pestl Naplo, giv&s somo interesting details of a visit which King Edward paid to Hungary many years ago.' Thn king repeatedly declared that when out ot England ho felt nowhere so much at home as ln Hungary, and he was often pleased to accept invitations from Count Tassllo Festetics or Count Stephen Karolyi, wth whom he had many friends. Once whon he was at dinner in Count Karolyi's Budapesth house ho refused the costly French. German and Spanish wines, that were offered to him. and with all the courses drank the white tablo wine which he had tasted after the soup, and declared that no wine over suited hia tasto so well. After dinner he asked the count where he could order a reasonable quantity of this wine. Count Karolyi, with Hungarian pomposity, an swered: "The wine is nowhere to bo had: it has either been drunk to. the last drop or else jealously guarded; the vines which produced it are all destroyed by the phylloxera, and whether new plantations will ever produce the samo quality again Is uncertain. What I have of it was left by my father in the cellars of "Neigy Karolyi, and I do not know how much that ia. Nothing more was said. but. next day Count Karolyi travelled to Neigy Karolyi. called the manager of .the cellar, and asked him: "How'much more have we of the Bakator from Ermellek?" "Of the family wine?" tho butler asked. "Well, just so much that it will last us to tho end of our lives." "The question is, how long do you expect we shall live?" "Should God give us a hundred ���������years to live, even then the wlnn would last to the end." "But suppose- I did not expect to live one hundred years: suppose I thought 80 was enough, how much wine would be left?" -"On a rough calculation���������10 hectolitres." "Very well, put thoso ten hectolitres into the.very best casks you can get, take them to the railway station, and make .ready to accompany them on a long journey." Now, to take wine safely by rail and by ship is. a difficult matter if its quality is not" to' suffer. Two weeks passed before Count Karolyi received the. announcement that the butler had reached England in safety with his 10 hectoliters of white wine, that he had tested - its . quality a.nd had found lt ln perfect condition. The count wrote a respectful letter to the then Prince of Wales, informing him that 10 hectoliters of the wine had been pleased to like in Hungary were in England, and begged him to accept lt. The prince expressed his delight at the present in a letter which will be kept - ln the count's family, but Karolyi only learned much later how much tho prince appreciated the gift. About eight yeara ago Karolyi was the prince's guest in England, and at table he was informed that the Batakor from Ermellek appeared on the table Bolely in his honor. At othnr times the prince drank it himself, for he had also made arrangements t(3 make it last all his life.

ROBDERY AND Ml'RDRR a ltobhi.1- The London Leader o������ February 27th says: Whon in the houae last .Friday, ln reply to Sir E. AEhmead-Bartlett, Lord Stanley made a detailed statement as to the number of horses sent to South Africa, It was made apparent that justice, to say tho leant, had hardly been done to Canada. While the United States had been called upon to supply 20.310 horses, "Thero is to me nothing surprising or unusual in the' cabled" announcement that Prince Chwang has been invited to commit suicide. His life has. it. Is said, boen demanded by the powers. The custom of suicide for officials of China in punishment for offences has been ln vogue from time immemorial. I suppose it originated, in the idea of the sacred- ness of tne person of the rulers; permitting no hand but their, own. to punish them. Tho..method used is generally by swallowing gold leaf. When the death punishment has been decided upon for an official who has done anything to merit the royal displeasure a decree is issued sentencing him to death. This decree is carried out by his own hand, but If he should not make away with himself within a reasonable time he is publicly executed. This, however, is an exceedingly rare occurrence, as the death deeree of the emperor la final, and officials take the most dignified way of complying with lt. "WU TING FANG. "Chinese Minister to United States." Cable despatches from Pekln announce that Prince Chwang, a leader ot the rebellion, has been ordered by the dowager empress to commit suicide. Chang was only second to the notorious Princo Tuan in aiding and abetting the Boers. Like Tuan, he is a member of the imperial family, although not so closely related to the emperor as the latter. He is a man of considerable ability, great ferocity and ferociously opposed to foreigners. He supplied the Boxers with money and ammunition.allowing his soldiers to join them, and provoked tho assaults on the legations in Pekin. I Chwang is a cousin of the emperor and a descendant' of the victorious Manchu general who'placed-the present dynasty on the throne. He maw be said, therefore, to mora is, "the b'est society" in China. ��������� The pnishment of Chwang was one of the demands ot the powers which the empress resisted to the last. According to the latest despatches ehe finally consented that Prince Tuan ancl Duke Lan should he banished for life, and that Chwang - should be dealt with in the 'curious manner stated. The career of Chwang Is perhaps less interesting than the manner by which he ia to die. It is an immemorial custom in the Chinese - empire that persons ot very high rank ��������� or birth has been Invited . to commit suicide. XVd have often heard of the custom in Japan nnder the name of "hari-kari" but it is much older and more highly developed In China. Chinese emperors have' left immortal examples^of delicacy and courtesy ��������� in their letters inTltinjr their friends and relatives to kill themselves. Mr. Chow Tsz Chi. the Chinese consul in New York, who speaks English admirably, explained the principal features of this singular custom to the New York Journal. , "Only very great persons." said Mr. Crow Tsz Chi; "are invited by the emperor to commit suicide. It is really an honor. When it becomes desirable on account of some offence or for some other good reason that one of these great men should leave the world, the emperor sends him a courteous demand to do bo. 'The reason for this method is plain. It avoids subjecting a man of great rank to the humiliation of a public execution, and also avoids the disgrace that It would briug upon his family. It is inconceivable that one of the emperor's blood should be publicly executed. He who kills himself by imperial command dies in honor, surrounded by his family. "Tt Is usual, although, not. I think invariable, for the emperor to send his correspondent something"- with which to kill himself. This may be a bottle ot wine, a silken girdle or cord, or a sword. " The wine Is to poison him. the rope to hang him, and the. sword to stab him. ..."There have, been many._hiatorical cases where great personages" have been invited to kill themselves, and never lo vny knowledge has any one refused to ob"6y the command. Ordinarily It is a crime to commit suicido but when the emperor . commands, it becomes a duty and an honor. If tho man were to refuse to obey the order I presume he would be executed-. The mere fact that he disobeyed the emperor would make him liable to the death penalty." A prominent Chinese official, who io be relations. He prays at great length to his gods and to hia ancestors, aad then commits Bulclde by the meUvo-C which has boen - recommended to him by the emperor. As a rule he will kill, himself within 24 hours of the recipt of the mes** sage. It is considered good form to be prompt-in carrying out the emperor's wishes. To delay suicide many days would bo regarded aa cowardice. AU Chinese, who have, been consulted agree that-if. the., man failed to kill himself he would be executed, but such a step has never been necessary. _ ..- . It is important to know that a man ordered to commit suicide by the Emperor would b������ disgraced If he performed the act by substitute. whereas if he were condemned to be executed, he would regard'- It as merely, a sensible act to provide a vicarious victim. Tho powers aro therefore moro certain of vengeance through the bulclde rescripts than if they depended on Chineso officials to execute the offenders. When Prlnco Chwang commit* suicide he will atone for wnatever misdeeds ho may havo committed by a" supreme act of piety and devotion to tho emperor. That la the official and religious Chinese view ot the matter. Therefore ho will receive a grand funeral, with complete religious rites, like one who has died full of years and honors. Fires will be kept burning upon" altora erected to his memory for a month. They will be lighted again at thc same time every year by his pious descendants. He will be laid at rest in tlio splendid tomb of his family. The emperor Is not the only man In China who . Invites, people to suicide. It seems that many prominent Chinamen are in the habit of using this method to get rid of dependents of whom they are tired. This, of course, is contrary to law and religion. The terrible old lady, the Dowager Empress, haa ordered an appalling number of suicides. - It is assumed ln tho case of Princo Chwang that' the emperor will order the suicide because of the Importance and because tho powers'-are-interested In him."*- Tho. Dowager, however, ' receives their messages,' and' is really the one who decides what action shall .be taken. . It is a curious fact that the Dowager is now ordering the suicide of leading Boxers, whereas. a few months ago, she was promoting the suicide of those who' failed to carry the Boxer movement to success. On the road to Sigan Fu during the flight of the court the Dowager de-* graded one of the officials and ordered him not to follow the court. Somo weeks ��������� after the arrival of the royal party-at the present capital this official, ' whose' offenco had been' a ��������� com- paralvely small one,, thought that she ahd probably forgotten' all about it and so he went to Slgan Fu.and appeared in liis usual' place. - When the Dowager saw him, she exclaimed in a tone of surprise: , . "What, tire you alive yet?" ..The official went off in a corner at once and drank the-. contents of. a bottle of poison that he carried with him The French Huguenots refugees, who have met in the crypt of ��������� Canterbury cathedral ever since 1550, when a royal charter of liberty to worship was granted to them, have sworn allegiance to King Edward VII. Their pastor, the Rev. Jean R. Sarnabas, preached a memorial- service for her late Majesty, Queen Victoria, and then, according to nn- cient custom, the oath of allegiance was taken, the pastor with uplifted Hands making the solemn declaration, to which the . people responded "Amen."

Ho died in Butte a few days ago, and as Is so often the case with members of that calling, he died broke. At ono time Levy was one of the most noted gamblers in Montana. He was a plunger, and no game was too stiff for him to play. When fortune was running his way, Levy had a great bank account, and his games had no limit. His favorite game was poker, but faro commanded a good deal of his attention. No sport ln the west had more nerve than Levy, and no man had a more tender heart. In the flush days he spent a vast amount of money in charity, and yet few people knew anything about it. The wife of a noted western congressman owes her education to Levy. But he was not much given to sentiment; his trade did not promote that characteristic. In 1876 Levy paid a visit to Virginia City, Nevada. Times were flush and money a drug on thc market. Con. Virginia and California mines were paying each $1,080,000 every month in dividends, and the 8000 miners on the Comstock were earning $4 a day. Stocks were fluctuating, and fortunes were made and lost ln a day. Tho very air was charged with the spirit of speculation. An hour after Levy landed in town, he was in Bill Dormer's luxurious club rooms. There was a air of quiet elegance about tho place that contrasted strangely with the Montana houses. Levy thought the house was run merely to catch the "dry gods clerks, bookkeepers and such like. But he concluded to take a chance. Taking a seat at the crowded table, he Inquired a3 to what the limit was. The dealer glanced at Levy, recognized a real sport, and without saying a word, pointed to the celling. Then the play began. Levy dropped ten twenties on the king and coppered the flve -spot for a similar sum. , They' lost on' the turn. Five hundred dollars went down on-the ace, but*,lt remained there only a moment���������the dealer transferring lt to another part of lhe tablo where a mine superintedent had won. Levy drew from his pocket a, roll of bills and passed over $1000, asking for blue chips. He tried one system after another but' somehow the cards would not come out of the box his way. Another draft was made on his roll of -bills,' and then another, and still another. At "the end of two hours Levy was loser to the tune of $16,500. He arose from his seat, and was about to. leave. He hesitated -��������� a moment, and turning toward the table he noticed that the queen had won three times. "Hold the deal,' please," ho'observed, at the same'time reaching over and placing a bill on tlir queen. The card won. and the dealer paid the bet for J1000. Moving the whole sum over ou tbe ace. Levy won again.. The deal was now near the close, and the Montana sport calmly waited lor the last turn. It soon came, with ten, jack and seven in the box. - , t "I call lt Beven-jack. for the $2000" said Levy. It came ten-seven, and Levy unconcernedly left the table. The game proceeded aa though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. BRITISH INTERVENTION THE CHINESE WISH BRITAIN TO AID IN CURBING RUSSIAN DESIGNS IN MANCHURIA.

A "Member of the Eau Claire Company Spoken Well Of.' ��������� (From the Phillips Times).. ' One cf our oldest loggers, I. K. Kerr, has this'week finished his contract for banking 200,000,0.00 'feet of pine .logs. This winter's-output of 3,000,000 feet ends his operations in the vicinity of Phillips. Mr. Kerr commenced his logging operations in tuis-seetion-in-the-fall-o������-1875;-���������-He established his first camp at the outlet o������ the Elk, where it empties into the south fork of the Flambeau near the McKinley and Price farms. Hlo success as a logger has been remarkable. From ths earliest days .of his operations, by his energy and skill, fortune has turned the face of Mammon to him. About 15 years ago he contracted for a job of banking a standing lot of pine that was estimated at 200,- 000,000 feet. He entered tho_work with the strength of a strong man and devoted al his energies to the work, lie was close in his business deals, but always honest. During the time of his operations in and about Phillips, Mr. Kerr hns always been interested in the local affairs of our community. When con- -.luuii.. nave permitjea ne ns,. employed men from our midst for service in his' work, and there will be many a lumber boy from Phillip*: who will regret that Mr. I. K. Kerr has ceased lumberln_r operations In this vicinity. That he has made money is beyond dispute, and we, who -aro his friends, are glad of it. air. rrice nas compietea ine iast large ''logging jou in pme uiar. tne IV territory of Price county has to offer. He has not only. been a successful logger, but he has introduced methods that have been cf vast benefit to other loggers and will be 1->r time to come. - Among them is the Invention auu application oi ine roaa rutter, by which it was possible for a single team to haul 23,020 feet of logs a distance ot three miles to the landing.

Premonitions of a Gigantic Struggle.��������� Praying for War. London. March 26.���������The Chinese minister. Sir Chieh Chen Lofenra Luh, called at the foreign oflice yesterday afternoon and urged the British government to bring pressure to bear in order to prevent Russia from securing the necessary signatures to the Manchuria agreement. The government was still in the dark last night as to whether the agreement would be signed or allowed to lapse when the time expires which is today (March 62). The officials of the Japanese legation are inclined to believe that Kussia will succeed In getting the necessary signatures. Tho situation is still more complicated owinc to the fact ascertained by u representative of the \ Associated Press that there are 2 secret treaties, ono of which is to bi signed at St. Petereeburc dealing with .Russia's control of the military situation in Manchuria, end onotuur to bo si&ncd at Pekin dealing with her civil powers. The Chinese appeals for s.import 'have failed to produce any direct rt:*.ponse from Great Britain or ..pparently from any other power to St l-*ctor������- burg for Russia persistc -,iiy adheres to her contention that the secret agreements concerns no one but herself and China. On this ground Great Britain's request for copies of the agreement was abruptly declined. It is explained at the. foreign office here that it would be dangerotis and useless breach of procedure to endeavor to enter upon expostulations with, Russia which would only be based' upon information supplied by the Chinese. In other words the copies of such treaties and alleged modifications of them recently given to the powers ,are worthless documents and will' remain", sucn until Russia- herself chooses to communicate the terms ot the actual treaty and modifications. To tho fear of domestic revolution, is added the dread of war with China for Japan's warships are rushing to Corea, aha other nations stand ready to take' part in a gigantic struggle in the far east, where Russia . has everything at stake. The Nihilists are praying for war. A scientist has discovered that it is aangerous to Kiss witnout nrst washing the mouth and lips' with an antiseptic remedy. Upon every lip lurks bacteria awaiting an opportunity to switch Its location. Beware of the deadly kiss. Look not upon tho lips when they are cherry red in tEe moonlight, for in the end the microbes will sting you, and the bacteria will bite you into an early demise. Science is wonderful. It reveals many unknown dangers that we have dallied with in the past, only escaping the terrors of bacteria by an element of luck. While science has revealed this great danger, and provided a remedy, it has also increased mental anxiety. Suppose a girl with THE MOLSONS BANK INCORPOIV*.' by Act or Pawuammt, 1SBB.

THE ANGORA GOAT It is estimated that thero aro about 400,000 Angora goats in tho United States, and that our annual production of mohair is about 1,000,- 000 pounds. Although very little has been said or written about Angora goats during the last 40' years, they have been extensively bred in the Western States and '.Territories, especially in Texas. New Mexico, Nevada, Florida. Californin and Oregon. Investigations prove that they are not only classed among the most useful or the domestic animals, but their usefulness is manifested ways.

A case of peculiar interest to ratepayers recently occurred in Reglna. A couple of years ago a Roman Catholic separate school district was formed. While several of the Roman Catholic ratepayers had been paying taxes in the public school district debentures had been issued. The municipal authorities held tbat as -they had assumed liability -for these debentures their entering another district did not discharge their liability and consequently a number of Roman Catholic citizens were forced to pay two sets of taxen. Appeal was made aaginst this and a decision has been rendered that tbe members of the separate school district are not liable in any extent whatever for the debenture Indebtedness of the public school, even admitting that they had a say in contracting the debt. The money paid by the Roman Catholic ratepayers towards the debt has been refunded by the council. o Vancouver has a brotherhood of faith-curers called. Dowleltes.
