Early .\ni Saturday morning Keith Whim- \u2022\n' ster, Wm.  Liphardt   and Robert \u2022\n\u2022 Dunsmore started out to make the f\ni summits of what aro known as the <\ni Three Sisters. The hoys circled \u25a0\n\u00bb mouut Fernie and were woll on \u00ab\ni toward their destinations hy Sat- a\n1 urday night, their camp lire helng \u2022\n' visible to tho people of Fernie, some t\n1 eight or nine miles away. \u25a0\n'    The boys started early Sunday \u2022\n\u2022 morning to complete their trip, and .\n\u2022 Dunsmire appeared to ho in the \u2022\ni best of spirits till within half a <\nt mile of tho summit, when he com- <\ni plained of pains in tlie stomach. *\ni Mplmrdt and Whimster, not caring \u00ab\n> to abandon their trip when so near \u00ab\ni their destination, advised him to *\ni roll himself up in his blanket until *\ni they returned.   He agreed to do *\n\u2022 this, and the boys went on. s\n> They had not proceeded far be- <\n> fore they noticed Dunsmore sit up \u00ab\ni and   watch   them   several times. .\n\u2022 When they were within a few yards \u2022\n> of the top they hnppened to look .\n> round and saw Dunsmore roll from s\n> his blanket down the hill, about <\ni ten feet. They Immediately re- .\np turned, thinking he hnd been taken \u25a0\n> more violently 111, but what was s\ni their horror to find that ho had cut \u25a0\ni hla throat, and wns lying in a pool >\ni of blood.

He had <\n> 13 or 14 miles ot heavy mountain <\n> work to do, but arrived here hardly \u25a0\n> nblo to crawl, six hours later. \u00ab\n\u00bb    A relief party at onco strated out \u2022\n\u2022 nnd reached the spot at 10 o'clock \u25a0\n> this morning. They found Duns- \u25a0\n\u00bb more dead and Liphardt so over- I\n> come with tho nervous strain that *\n> he was unable to talk for some <\n> time. I\n> Dunsmore had died half an hour <\n> aftor the departure of Whimster i\n> on Sunday. They decided that it I\ni was impossible to bring the body <\n\u00bb home, ns the road was so difficult <\n> to travel, so they buried him ten s\n\u2022 miles from town on the other (\ni side of mount Fertile.   Liphardt is i\n\u25a0 in such a condition thnt he will not i\n\u2022 be able to make   the   trip until i\n\u25a0 tomorrow. ' <\ni    There Is nothing to account for i\n\u2022 the rash  net  of Dunsmore, save i\n\u2022 that he did it In a fit of temporary i\ni Insanity, caused by the high alti- i\n\u2022 tudo.   Robert   Dunsmore   was a i\n\u2022 nephew of J. A. Rennle, one of i\ni Fernic's leading merchants, and <\ns occupied    the    position of book- i\n\u2022 keeper in the Crow's Nest Trading i\ni company's store. <\nSUIT AGAINST THE TRUST.\nWill Rest Now Until After the Close\nof Vacation.\nChicago, Aug. 4.\u2014The government suit\nagainst the alleged beef trust was sent\na step forward here today by the filing\nIn tho United States circuit court of demurrers of the defendants, both as Individuals and as corporations.

R. system, arrived In the city Sunday\nafternoon by the Crow's Nest boat, and\nleaves this morning for Rossland, where\nmeet W. H. Aldrldge, superintendent of\nthe Trail smelter, whence he proceeds\nto Revelstoke on his return to Winnipeg. On his trip out Mr. Whyte visited\nEdmonton and several of the towns\nalong tho Calgary and Edmonton line,\nto examine Into the crop conditions\nthere, and to see whether the recent\nheavy rains had done much damage. The\nC. P. R. have sold more land through\nthe territories and the province of Manitoba this year than ever before, and\nMr. Whyte states that the class ot settlers going In leaves nothing to be desired. A large number of them are Americans from the prairie states and are\nthoroughly accustomed to wheat farming. Besides this many large corporations have taken up laad to work It as\nan investment, and all this promises\nrapid development of the country. The\ncrops have been kept back by the rain,\nbut with fairly good weather now there\nwill still be a good yield.\nMr. Whyte stated that he was very\nmuch interested in the fight now being\nmade by the Kootenay boards of trado\nfor the imposition of higher duties on\nraw lead from the United States, and\nespecially Interested in the action of\nthe Nelson board in sending a delegate\nto the meeting of the Manufacturers'\nAssociation at Halifax. He said that\nat Winnipeg the circular which had\nbeen sent out by the local hoard on the\nlead question had aroused much Interest among the members of the board\nof trade, and led to considerable discussion at the meeting at which It was read:\nIt was finally referred to a special committee and thlB committee had In turn\nhanded it over with their report to the\ncouncil of the board, of which he Is a\nmember. Mr. Whyte said he was anxious to find out as much about the matter\nns passible, as he fully realized its Importance. He had discussed the ma*te,\nwith Mr. Croasdalle, the delegate that\nthe Nelson board are sending, nnd felt\nthat his going to Halifax would be of\ngreat advantage In securing the legls-\nlatioa desired. When the matter came\nup first at the Winnipeg hoard it had\nbeen suspected that there was some\npolitical move behind It, but when looked into It was seon that it affected all\nalike. As regards the manufacturers\nbeing willing to listen to the delegate,\nhe thought that they would be found\nnot only willing, but nnxious. In Ontv\nario and the eastern provinces, although\ntimes have been good and the general\nbusiness of the country fairly prosperous\nthere has been practically no increase\nIn population In the west, however,\nthere was a rush of immigration not\nonly from outside countries but also\nfrom the eastern provinces, their nat\nural increase, at present being largely\ncarried off In this way. The manufacturers especially had this Impressed on\nthem by the rapidly Increasing market for their goods that was growing\nup to the westward of Winnipeg, which\nbut a short time ago was regarded as\nthe limit In the east the competition\nwas stronger and the demand less,\nwhile in the west the market was Increasing by leaps and bounds. In British Columbia tbe market had also been\nvery good, and any question that had\nsuch a vital bearing'on the prosperity of\nboth British Columbia and the northwest as this appeared to have, was\nsomething that naturally interested the\nmanufacturers more thaa any other\nclass of people. This argument, he\nagreed with Mr. Croasdalle, would have\nmore weight with the Manufacturers'\nAssociation than any other that could\nbe brought to bear. He hnd read the\naccount of the last meeting of the Nelson board In The Dally News, and believed that the members were taking\nthe right course to get what they were\nasking. The attitude of the other\nboards was also commendable, and the\nmore they could pull together in making\nthe demand the sooner those in tlie east\nwould co-operate with them. The Winnipeg board, he said, would certainly\nhelp, as It was something that directly\ntouched them. A number of American\nmanufacturers had recently bought up\nCanadian plants in the east ,and these\nwere all making extensive plans to supply the western market Among them he\nmentioned the John Abel company, of\nToronto, which since its change of ownership had purchased a five-acre plot\nof land at Winnipeg for the purpose of\nerecting large storehouses for supplying the western trade. The point mentioned as to British Columbia being\nthe natural market for produce from\nthe northwest was something that they\ncould thoroughly appreciate. \u2022 The American manufacturers had been especially interested in the lead question for\nthis reason, and would welcome tho\nopportunity to have It explained by Mr.\nCroasdalle.\nBesides the manufacturers the wholesalers of the east were also directly Interested In the question, and since the\nmatter had been pushed by the boards of\ntrade more attention had been directed\nto it by them, and they would also second an attempt to have the matter thoroughly gone Into. There were but few\nof the Winnipeg wholesalers who had\nnot considerable relations with the\nKootenays, as well as the northwest\ngenerally, and to them the matter had\nat once strongly appealed.\nMr. Whyte stated that his visit had\nnothing to do with freight matters, and\nthought that the troubles In connection\nwith the coal mines should be settled\nbeforo the freight on coke and coal\ncould be discussed.\nREHEARSALS OF CORONATION\nWESTMINSTER ABBEY WILL BE KEPT\nOPEN FOR VISITORS.\nCOLONIAL AND INDIAN TROOPS WILL\nHAVE PASSES.\nLondon, Aug. 4.\u2014Visitors to London who\nwill not be able to seo tho Interior of\nWestminster abbey beforo tlio coronation,\nmay do so after that event, it having been\nofficially announced that tho edifice will\nbe open from August 12th to liith.

There was\nnothing on tho surface to Indicate anything, yet there was a feeling of uneasiness which caused the commanding officer\nto Increase their vigilance and hold tho\nsoldiers In a state of preparedness.

Tho men returned to\nwork yesterday, and coal and coke shipments will be resumed at once. The Dally\nNews could give Its readers no better news\nthan this. Resumption of work at the\nCrow's Nest collieries means Immediate\nand marked Improvement to business\nthroughout south Kootenay. Things havo\nbeen brightening up appreciably during the\npost three weeks, not only In mining but In\nall other branches of trade, and all that\nwas required to restore old time confidence\nwas a termination of tho labor difficulties\nat Fernie.\nSo far as can bo learned the company\nhave met tlie men in a reasonable spirit,\nand the settlement reached will probably\nmark a termination of labor trouble at that\ncolliery. Both sides have learned, no doubt,\nthat there are simpler and better means of\nadjusting disputes that may arise between\nthem than by .resort to tho strike or lockout. It Is noteworthy that this strike, In\ncommon with all previous strikes In this\nprovince, has been characterized by an\nentire absence of disorder. Under existing\nconditions strikes are more or less Inevitable, and It Is at least a mitigation of the\nevil that in British Columbia they, aro conducted In a lawabldlng manner.\nLORD ROSEBERY AGAIN.\nThe victory gained by the English liberals In the North Leeds by-election has\nhad a stimulating effect upon tho liberal\nparty as a whole, but especially upon that\nwing of It which does not hang very close\nto Campbell-Bannerman's heels. Thero ts\nno sign yet that the breach that has so\nlong divided tho party Is any nearer the\nhealing point but the hope that a revulsion\nof popular feeling has set In favorable to\nthe liberals may bring to pass that which\nhas so far not been accomplished. It Is\nonly by presenting a solid front that they\ncon hope to defeat tho government party,\nand that some compromise may be arrived\nat In tho near future seems to be the opinion of party men of moderate views. Lord\nRosebery, at a dinner given by tho Liberal\nleague last week, spoke of tho necessity of\nconcentration of forces and healing of ruptures If tho party wore to emerge successful from a contest with their political opponents. In a speech, marked by many lino\npassages and graceful diction, Lord Rosebery indulged in generalities, as he did on\ntho former occasion when he addressed a\nmonster audience at Chesterfield. The eyes\nof tho nation were fixed upon him at that\ntime. He was looked upon as the political\nMoses who would lead his party out of tho\nopposition benches and place them In tho\npromised land of ofllce. He did not fulfil\ntho expectations of tho nation, he disappointed his party, and ho lost the opportunity that comes only rarely to any man\nto show of what stuff ho Is made. He has\nindicated tho direction but has not shown\ntho way clearly and this is needed above\nall things. Now that the war is over and\nparliamentarians will havo more inclination to seriously consider other Issues a\nunion of tho disorganized party may possibly bo effected, It Is quite within the\nrungo of possibilities that a goneral election In Great Britain now would result In\ntho defeat of tho government, but in Its\nproscnt divided condition It Is difficult to\nsee how the liberal party could control the\nhouso, and another dissolution with a pos\nsible return to office of the conservatives\nwould likely result. Lord Rosebery may\nyet realize all his friends and admirers\nthink him capable of but he will most\nassuredly have to adopt a more prectical\nlino of policy than he has so far dono,\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nAccording to the London News, (Ont.), it\nhas reliable Information that premier\nRoss will again appeal to tho electorate\nand that the election will toko place next\nmonth. The News argues that as defeat\nin the house in January would mean the\ncalling upon Mr. Whitney to form a cabinet and as tho latter would have no more\nchance of carrying on the business of the\ncountry with a small majority than has\nRoss, he would appeal to the country \"and\nhaving the manipulation of the government\nforces and resources at his command would\nhavo every advantage on his side favorable to securing a working majority as a\nresult of the election. And, says the News,\npremier Ross prefers that he should have\n(his chance rather than give It to his opponents by facing tho house with his majority of one, hence tho elections In September. But the News does not say on\nwhat grounds Mr. Ross could ask the\nlieutenant-governor for a dissolution. It\nIs not the practlco to make a second appeal\nto the electorate without first meeting the\nlegislature and the probabilities are thnt\nwhen Mr. Ross does that ho will have a\nmajority of moro than tho solitary unit\nnow allotted to him.\nIf arrangements be made for the refining\nof copper matte from the smelters of British Columbia at the Clergue works, t\nmatorlal step will have been taken towards\nmaking Canada more self contained, nnd\nono in no degree less important to the mining industry than lead refining within our\nown borders. The march of progress all\nalong the line is most satisfactory. Canada Is stretching forth her arms and gaining confidence, and with each success her\nenergies are becoming more and more\napparent and aggressive. When Canadian\nores aro mined, treated and refined in\nCanada wholly instead of sending tho half\nfinished or raw material to a foreign\ncountry to be prepared for tho market the\nfull value of her mineral resources will be\nappreciated and understood.\nDiscussing the C. P. R. proposals for a\nfast Atlantic service, the Toronto World\nremarks that It hns no doubt the details\nhavo all been arranged, and judging from\nthe tone of tho company's comments on the\ndespatch stating that the Canadian ministers now In London declare that the re,\nports concerning arrangements respecting\nfho service are unauthorized, it would appear that thero may be some truth In\nwhat the World alleges. Ono of tho C. P.\nR. officials Is reported to have said that the\ngovernment has not yet accepted their\noffer \"although there Is good reason to\nsupposo that It will do so,\" and that certainly Implies that there Is a definite understanding between the> government and\ntho company. Continuing, the World says,\n\"aa the World anticipated tho other day,\ntho C. P. R. will make tlio transfer of the\nIntercolonial, or a portion of tho Intercolonial, to the C. P. R. system a condition\nof the deal,\" If the C. P. R. or any other\nconcern have In view the acquirement of\nthe ono government railway in the Dominion as part of any bargain they may\ndrive, the sooner the people of Canada let\nIt bo understood that thoy will not coun.\ntonance such a deal the bettor. In all\nlikelihood the World Is Indulging in mere\nidle chatter. That the C. P. R. would like\nto get hold of the Intercolonial Is beyond\nall question, and mora than one attempt\nhas been made to bring this to pass but\nso far without success. The Intercolonial\nhas been built and equipped with the\npeoplo's money and has latterly proved to\npossess the elements pertaining to a remunerative concern. That it should now\nbe coolly handed over to a corporation\nmerely because they covet It, as David did\nNaboth's vineyard, is too absurd to be\ncredited. Canada must retain the Intercolonial and mako a success of It If the\nstato ownership of railways Is to make\nany headway In tho country.\nGOV. ROSS* CONDITION.\nShows Marked Improvement\u2014Will\nCome South Shortly.\nA dispatch from Ottawa says: James\nA.Smart, deputy minister of the interior, will leave la a few days for Dawson for the purpose of disposing of\nmatters affecting the administration of\nthe Yukon territory, which have accumulated during the Illness of governor Ross.

Recently the\nleaguo took up the subject of Iron and steel\nproduction and gathered a mass of valuable information concerning the Iron ore\ndeposits in all parts of the province, with\ndata as to available sites for the establishment of steel works. The latest subject to\nreceive attention is the all Important one\nof agriculture. As Indicating the thorough\nnature of tho work done tho report of\nPrank Moberly, C. 13., one of a special committee appointed to gather data, Is given\nIn full below. This report contains much\nof very great interest to the people of the\nInterior:\nThero is nothing so materially Important\nto n country ns Its agricultural Interests,\nand thoro Is no portion of the continent\nwhero agriculture seems to he carried on\nIn such a disjointed sort of way as lu\nBritish Columbia, very little attempt being\nmade to meet the requirements of tho\nhome market, as we Import from the United States about a million dollars' worth of\nfiirm product In addition to what Is\nbrought in from tho eastern provinces,\nmade up of various Items of produce,\nwhich can all bo raised here, easier and\ncheaper, than in nny other part of Canada,\nnnd for which there Is always a good de-\nmaud nnd high prices. Besides our own\nwauls, wo should be ablo to supply the\nYukon trade. 1 am going to speak principally of the mainland, as I know little of\nthe Island nnd will leave that for others\nto deal With who are moro intimate with\nthat section. British Columbia Is not an\nugrlcultural country, but It has tructs of\narable land of more or less extent throughout the districts of Mnst and West Kootenay und Vale, which are of surpassing\nrichness nnd aro capable of raising crops\nof any kind\u2014grains, hay, vegetables or\nfruit, and dairying should everywhere be\nsuccessful. But there are dllllculties in\nthe way. Thu llrst, perhaps the most important, Is that tho land is blanketed by\npeople who uro holding It for speculation at\nabsurd prices, $40 or $50 an acre. In a\nlarge number of cases thoy havo no legal\nclaim to the lands and pay no taxes, but an\nintending settler goes looking for lands In\ntheso districts, sees tho posts with a notice\non them, and gives the lands tho go-by,\nns It may lake a week's travel to the nearest land ofllce to find out If the land Is\nreally taken up or not, so lhat he cannot\nafford the time or oxpenso to make enquiries. Another drawback Is that a large\nportion of the lands will require Irrigation.\nThis In East Kootenay can be accomplished over largo areas and easier and more\ncheaply than In other sections of the province, owing to the conformation of the\ncountry, but It Is quite possible In many\nparts oftho other districts to carry on irrigation work successfully. As it would take\ntoo long to go Into details, 1 will not describe It moro minutely.\nNow, all theso districts should bo carefully examined nnd reported on by the gov-\nI ernment, giving the position and amount of\nany arable land available for settlement,\nwhat market and whnt mode of communication there Is, and whether or not Irrigation would bo necessary, so that an Intending settler may know exactly where ho Is\nto go and what ho is to expect. This report should also show what tracts of ar-\narable lands nro hold and not worked, and\nsteps should bo taken to ut least double\ntax land that Is so held, or else let It revert to tho crown; as, with the limited\namount of agricultural land lu this province every ucre should be cultivated and\nnone of it allowed to He waste or to be\nused for cattle ranges.\nImmediately nfter making n preliminary\nexamination of the country, steps should be\ntaken to survey those lands fit for farming lu blocks of from 20 to 100 acres, and\nconllnliig ownership us much as possible to\nblocks of that size. Every assistance and\nencouragement should be given to settlers\ntaking up these lands to go Into mixed\nfarming and dairying.\nLargo individual land holdings are a mistake, and have resulted disastrously wher-\n1 over tried fn Canada, as, on account of\ntho scarcity of agricultural labor, the\nland Is poorly cultivated, weeds Increase,\nand the soil is exhausted. Take France as\nan example, where tho holdings are small.\nTho average product per acre Is ten times\ntho average In Canada, and more than that\nabove the average in tho States. A man\nwith a small farm and enough stock on\nit lo keep up its fertility can make every\nacre that he works pay, and pay well.\nThere Is a ready market all ovor the provlnco for farm produce and prices are always at the top notch and always will be\nns long as the mining industry lasts.\nAfter the examination I have spoken of\nhas been mnde, it will bo found that different classes of settlers will be required\nfor different localities. For one, thoso who\nunderstand irrigation; for another, those\nwho understand the clearing of land and\nhandling of heavy timber, etc. Then steps\nShould be taken to reach out for exactly\ni the class of settlers required for each locality, and take them here. Just hero I\nwould say to the gentlemen taking up the\nquestion of settling Vancouver Island, thnt\nI would recommend them to try to Induce\nsomo settlors to como here from tho counties of Glengarry and Bruce, in tho province of Ontario, and from tho province of\nNow Brunswick, They understand bush\nclearing thoroughly, and tho climate here\nwould compensate thorn for a great many\nof the drawbacks.\nDairying is an industry that special attention should be paid to. Everywhere,\nfrom tho eastern boundary of the province\nto tho coast, timothy and red and white\nclover and all root crops will grow lo the\ngreatest advantage; tho climate Is everything that can be desired, and even where\nthe climate Is most severe, tho housing of\ncattlo Is a small matter, as any severe,\nweather never Insts moro than a week or\ntwo at the outside, and Is not to he compared with tho drawbacks suffered by the\nI farmers of Ontario, Quebec, Mnnltoba nntl\nthe northwest, who havo on an average of\nfive or six months to houso nnd feed their\n, cattle; and yet thoso farmers sell their\nproducts at a profit In British Columbia,\nwhere the samo articles could be produced\nin abundance and perfection at, I am bound\nto say, half the cost and exertion, Last\nyear In the Slmllkameon country, whero\nNature hns dono everything possible to\nmake It a perfect dairying country, I was\npurchasing butter at 60 cents a pound,\nmado In western Ontario, and drinking\nmilk canned in Nova Scotia. There is\nsomething wrong about that, Is there not?\nAnd does not the very same state of affairs\nexist everywhere else in British Columbia?\nAnd yet the cry is, \"No market!\"\nAccording to tho trade and navigation\nreport for 1900, the last I havo seen, we import 536,913 pounds of butter from the\nStates ,and I Imagine that amount is ox-\nceeded by our Imports from the eastern\nprovinces.\nIn the matter of beef, by the farmer\nraising small herds and farm-feeding them,\nwe would have a great Improvement In the\nquality of beef. Wo now pay first-class\nprices for a very Inferior article, and, as I\nbefore said, I would not allow any arable\nland to be monopolized for cattle ranging\npurposes. ,\nPork is another article which would pay\nto raise, tho Imports from tho States alone\nIn bacon and ham being 3,089,608 pounds\nfor 1900. Now, In Ontario (from which we\nalso get a great quantity of these articles)\nthe farmers found they were unable to\ncompete with the northwest In wheat, so\nthey turned their grain Into pork with the\nmost favorable results.\nI might Just here say that everywhere,\nbesides the arable land, there Is plenty of\nwaste land with good pasturage for all\nkinds of stock.\nI will just touch on the fruit question.\nFruit docs well In the upper Kootenay\nvalley, In the Fort Steele district, along\nKootenay lake wherever there Is any soil;\nin the Kettle river valley, the Okanogan,\nthe Slmllkamccn, the Chilliwack, and Nicola district, the trees arc most prolific bearers and require the minimum of attention.\nYet, outside of the Okanagan and ChiUl-\nwack districts, little has been done in that\nline, although we Import from the States\napples, cherries, plums, peaches and small\nfruits to tho tune of about 190,000 per year,\nbesides what comes from eastern Canada\nIn the shape of fresh fruits and the vast\nquantities of canned fruit. We should be\nnble to supply our own market with fruit,\nas also that of the Yukon and the northwest, which nro our natural markets.\nPoultry and eggs are also required In\nlarge quantities lo supply the markets of\nthe provlnco and of the Yukon. The Import\nof eggs for theso two markets Is about\n700,000 dozen per annum from the States\nbesides those supplied by Manitoba and\nthe eastern provinces. The same holds\ngood with poultry, as we Import about\n$17,000 from the States, and our own market Is largely supplied with turkeys from\nOntario, Poultry can be raised anywhere,\nand to advantage, In British Columbia, and\ncertainly if it pays tho Ontario nnd Manitoba farmers to raise them, pay freight out\nhere, and to contend with all the difficulties of their rigorous climate, it should\nsurely pay the farmer hero with everything In his favor. \u2022\nFor tho raising of geese, ducks and turkeys, thero is an ideal region round the\nshores of Kamloops lake, whore the climate nnd all other conditions are perfect\nfor tho purpose. It is situated on the main\nline of the Canndian Pacillc railway, and is\ncentrally situated ns regards the markets\nof the province, and there are, no doubt,\nmany other localities suitable for the purpose.\nCAREER OF RUSSELL SAGE\nTODAY   CELEBRATES   HIS   EIGHTY-\nSEVENTH BIRTHDAY.\nFROM CLERK IN GROCERY STORE TO\nMULTI-MILLIONAIRE.\nNew York, Aug. 4.\u2014As vigorous as most\nmen of half his years, though he has recently had a severe Illness and still more\nrecently narrowly escaped death or serious injury by being dragged by a street\ncar, Russell Sage todny entered upon his\n87th year. 'So far as Mr. Sage himself\nwus concerned, the day might not have\nbeen the anniversary of his birth. He did\nnot celebrate It In any way, and made\nnot tho slightest change In the methodical business duties which for so many\nyears have been the dally part of hlmselr.\nApparently Mr. Sage would hnvo forgotten that It was his birthday but for the\nnumerous friends who dropped in upon him\nto congratulate him upon adding one more\nto the many natal day annversarles upon\nthe credit side of life's ledger,\n\"I'm not celebrating,\" ho said; \"Just going right along and attending to business.\"\nHe expressed, however, the great pleasure it gave him to see so many friends\nand to receive their congratulations.\nSome of Mr, Sage's biographers Insist\nthat he was born on August 15th, 1816, at\nShenandoah, Oneida county, New York.\nMr. Sage himself asserts that ho was born\non August 4th, 1816, at Verona, two miles\nfrom Oneida castle.\nLike many of the multi-millionaires of\nAmerica, Russell Sage, tho \"father of puts\nand calls,\" began life a poor boy. His\nfathor, Henry Sago, wns a laborer and\nunable to give Russell more than a mengre\neducation. At the age of 9 he was thrown\nupon his own resources and went to Troy\nIn search of employment. After a succession of hardships common to boys In\nthe street, he secured a place in a grocery\nstore, He was Industrious and economical and consequently thrived In his new\nposition. After a few years of earnest\nwork he rose In the estimation of his employers, and at the ago of 20 was given a\nposition of trust. His ambition to rise in\nlifo prompted him to enter Into business\nfor himself. This was In 1839. At that time,\nalBo, he took an active part In the politics\nof Troy and for a number of yenrs he was\na member of the board of aldermen. Ho\nwas always a whig and has always been\na republican.\nMr. Sage's first venture In railroad nnd\nfinancial circles was as a director associated with Thurlow Weed in the Hudson &\nMohawk railroad. In 1850 Mr. Sage wns\nnominated for congress, but the mugwumps of those days \u2014 the silver grays\n\u2014beat him. Two years later ho was again\nnominated, and this time wns elected by\na small majority, and refused a re-nomination two years later. While In congress\nMr. Sago served with the late vice-president Thomas A. Hendricks, was on the\nways and means committee, and wns In tho\nflght for tho speakership which lasted five\nweeks and which finally resulted in a vie-\ntory' for general A. P. Banks.   Mr. Sag*\nwas a delegate to tho conventions which\nnt Philadelphia nominated Zachary Taylor\nand later on nt Chicago when Abraham\nLincoln wns selected. He was tho first\nvice-president of tho Milwaukee & St.\nPaul railroad.  Twelvo years after ho hnd\nsold out his grocery business ho beenme\nassociated  with Jay Gould.   In 1840 Mr.\nSago married Miss Anna Carman, daugh\nter of one of the wealthiest men of Troy.\nFor many years he was closely associated\nwith Gould In the management of the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific, the Missouri Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the\nDelaware, Lackawanna & Western, and\nthe St Louis \u25a0& Son Francisco railroads,\nthe American cable company, the Western\nUnion telegraph company, and tho Manhattan system of consolidated railroads in\nNew York City.\nMr. Sage had lived In New York but\na few years when his wife died. The blow\nalmost prostrated him, and It was some\ntime before he returned to the Held of\nfinance, and when he did It was with the\ndetermination to bury his sorrow. For\nyears he continued thus, with neither family nor children. Eventually he married\nMiss Marguerite OUva Slocum, who Is\nstill his partner in life. During recont\nyears Mr. Sage's dealings fn \"puts and\ncalls\" have been comparatively small,\nthough thero was a time when his transactions in theso privileges amounted to millions of dollars annually. It Is said that\nhe has moro ready money than any other\nperson In Wall street, and that he can\nmeet a demand at any time for from $5,-\n000,000 to $15,000,000.\nOno of the chief events in Mr. Sage's\nlife happened about ten years ago, when\nhe narrowly escaped assassination at the\nhands of a crank. The man entered Mr.\nSage's ofllce and demanded a largo sum\nof money, threatening to kill Mr. Sage If\ntho demand was refused. He carried In\nhis hand a dynamite bomb, the explosion of\nwhich severely injured and maimed a young\nbroker's clerk named Laldlaw, who stood\nbetween Mr. Sage and the would-be assassin and effectually shielded the great\nfinancier from harm. The clerk brought\nan action against Mr. Sage for damages,\nand was awarded $100,000. Mr. Sage appealed the case, and it fs still pending.\nMr. Sage's great reputation is that of an\neconomizer. His connection with great\ncorporations has proved invatuable for his\nscrutiny and the stoppage of leaks. Almost\nall of his money has been made by lending money, not only to brokers in Wall\nstreet, but to corporations able to furnish\nsound collateral.\nSHE WILL SOON WED AGAIN\nFIRST    HUSBAND  A BIGAMIST    AND\nSENT TO SING SING.\nMISS   HAWKES   OF   BROOKLYN   HAS\nSECURED ANOTHER.\nNew York, Aug. 4.\u2014The happy sequel to\nthe sorrowful romance of Miss Helen P.\nHawkes, a well known society woman of\nBrooklyn, has Just been made public. Mfss\nHawkes will soon wen Mr. William D.\nMalane, of Syracuse.\nBehind tho announcement of this ' e-\ntrothal there lies the pathetic story of a\nromance that once promised happiness, but\nwhich culminated In a domcsetlc tragedy\nnnd which found a climax in the civil annulment of tho marriage of Miss Hawkes\nto George Howard and of the banishment\nof her self-confessed bigamist husband to\nSing Sing prison.\nLast week Bishop McDonnell of Brooklyn\nreturned from Rome, bringing to Miss\nHelen Hawkes the papers containing the\npapal decree which declared her marriage\nto Howard \"void from the first.\" Then\nfollowed the announcement of her forthcoming marriage to Mr. Malane.\nMiss Helen Hawkes Is the daughter of\nMr. Henry Hawkes, superintendent of distribution and repairs fn the Brooklyn water\ndepartment. He Is a very wealthy and influential citizen of that borough, residing\nin a handsome stone front mansion in\nProspect Place.\nMiss Hawkes has for some years moved\nIn the exclusive set of Brooklyn. Two years\nago George Howard appeared on the social\nhorizon of this particular set and Immediately became an ardent admirer of Miss\nHawkeS. Howard was an electrician, with\na salary that didn't seem at all commensurate with his expensive tastes. He dressed In the height of fashion.,, Automobiles\nwere then tho possession of the very\nwealthy only, but Howard was the fortunate possessor of one and in It he and Miss\nHawkes were conspicuous figures about\nthe boulevards.\nWhen Miss Hawkes' engagaement to\nGeorgo Howard was announced all Brooklyn society looked upon it with congratulatory approval, all save the brother of\nMiss Hawkes, who disliked and distrusted\nhis dashing prospective brother-in-law.\nOn September 17th, 1900, Miss Hawkes became Mrs. Howard, and after an extended\nhoneymoon the couple settled down to\nhousekeeping In Brooklyn. Tho suspicions,\nhowever, of young Mr. Hawkes regarding\nHoward grew, and ho began to mako unpleasant inquiries about his brother-in-\nlaw's career. Ho engaged a private detective, and in East Cambridge, Mass., they\nfound a Mrs, Howard No. 1, and two\nchildren.\nHoward at first stoutly denied his marriage to the woman in Cambridge but there\nwas convincing evidence against him, and\nat last he confessed. Ho was first arrested\non New Year's eve, 1900, a little more than\nthree months after his marriage to Miss\nHawkes,\nAn Interesting feature of the case was\ntho attitude of Mrs. Howard No. 1. Sho\nstood by him, and although sho had been\ngrossly deceived and wronged by Howard\nshe firmly refused to como to Brooklyn and\ntestify against him and would give no aid\nIn tho prosecution. Howard pleaded guilty\nand was given an Indeterminate sentence.\nSomo months ago ho was paroled and Is\nnow believed to be living In Boston with\ntho wife who stood hy him In his trouble.\nTho marrlngo of Mrs. Howard No, 2 was\nannuled in the supreme court eight months\nngo and she was given permission to re-\nsumo her maiden name. It was at this\ntime that Mr. Malane became acquainted\nwith Miss Hawkes. It was a mutual attachment apparently from the first, but the\ntenets of Miss Hawkes' church forbade a\npublic announcement of their engagement\nwithout tho papal decree, Bishop McDonnell took tho papers of the Howard case\nto Rome. Two audiences with the holy\nfather flnnlly resulted In tho ccclcslnstlcrtl\ntribunal pronouncing the decree declaring\ntho Howard marriage void.\nTho bishop's return brought tho engnrly\nlooked for news to the young couplo. The\nwedding of Miss Hawkes nnd Mr. Malane\nwill bo a quiet event of early fall.\nHAKES\nYOUR BACK\nLAME\nto get out these days and dig around In\nthe garden, doesn't It?\nIt's good for you though.

A. Galliher, M. P., returned homo\nSunday evening after several months ab-\nscence In the east; Since the adjournment\nof the house of commons Mr. Galliher has\nbeen on an extended visit to the home of\nhis boyhoood, in the vicinity of the town\nof Tara, In the county of Bruce. It was\nseveral years since he had been there\nbefore, and he made it a point to hunt up\noil his old school-boy friends who were\nleft In the country.\nSpeaking of tho work of the session Mr.\nGalliher says ho thinks most of his constituents muBt bo well satisfied with what\nhe accomplished on their behalf. The size\nof his district naturally was a handicap,\nas the average eastern member had but a\nfaint conception of the territorial area of\nthe district which is at present known as\nYale-Kootenay-Carlboo, but on every occasion when he approached a member of\nthe cabinet Mr. Galliher says he found him\nwilling and anxious to moot all reasonable\nrequests. They were, not at all times as\ngenerous as he thought they might have\nbeen, but they on their part doubtless\nthought they never would .bo able to satisfy his demands upon them.\nThe grants for the armories throughout\nthe district was a case In point, even men\nconnected with the militia being at a loss\nto understand the necessity for so many\narmories in a single dominion constituency.\nBut the appropriations alt went through\njust the same. A similar experience was\nencountered In the requests for dredging\nof streams throughout the district, but the\nappropriations were found to havo been\nprovided In the end. Then there wero the\nappropriations for the telegraph line from\n150-MiIo house to Horso Fly and on to\nQuesnell, and also tho line Into the Windermere district In East Kootenay. No one\nwith a local knowledge could question the\nnecessity for these Improvements, but tho\ntendency on the part of many of the eastern members was to take tho view thnt the\nbig district of BrltlBh Columbia was getting away with them.\nConcerning tho live topic of increased\nlead duties Mr, Galliher says he is prepared to make the flght of his lifo to secure\nsuch amendments to the tariff as the\nlead districts of the province require, but\nit was impossible to accomplish anything\nduring the recent session in view of the\nexpressed policy of the government not to\nmake any amendment to the tariff during\nthe session, or until after the conference\nof tho colonial premiers In London, Those\nInterested In the lead question were not\nsingled out for anything in the way of exceptional treatment. The same answer\nwas returned to all tho varied Interests\nwhich sought tariff changes.\nThere was one thing, however, upon\nwhich the people of Kootenay could assure\nthemselves, and this was thnt the federal\nministers thoroughly understood tho lead\nquestion, and the necessity for tariff\namendments In the Interests of tho load\nproducers of British Columbia, and they\ncould have every assurance that when the\ntime arrived for the revision of the tariff\ntho case of Kootenay would be carefully\npresented. Although there has been\nnothing definitely fixed It is the general\nopinion in ministerial circles in the capital\nthat the question of the tariff will bo taken\nup at the next session of the house, and\nMr. Galliher expressed himself as satis-\nfled that the leadmlnlng industry of\nKootenay would receive such protection as\nIt required, and that such assistance as\nshall bo extended will be furnished in Buch\na way that tho miner will receive the maximum of the benefit conferred. He had\ntalked the load question over with the\nmembers of the cabinet a number of times,\nand while all of the ministers were reticent\na numbe'r of them had already expressed\nthemselves to him In a manner which convoyed their conviction that In this British\nColumbia had a very good case.\nIn Mr. GalUher's opinion the most important thing for the people of Kootenay to\ndo In the meantime Is to make up their\nminds ns to Just what they do want In the\nway of amendments to the lead tariff\nTheir case Is very much weakened by having different factions advancing nrguments\nfor different things.. The ministers will be\nready to listen, but if the people of the\nsection most concerned aro not of one\nopinion as to what Is necessary they will\nfind that their difficulties are very much\nmultiplied at Ottawa.\nPersonally Mr. Galliher said he advanced\nthe cause of Kootenay upon the broaft\nground that Kootenay paid a protective\nprice upon everything it consumed, and\nthat it was but just that the district should\nreceive a measure of protection upon that\nwhich It produced and the reasonableness\nof this struck most of the members with\nwhom he talked the situation over.\nAnother matter which will doubtless\ncome up at the next session of the house\nis the redistribution of seats, based upon\nthe last census returns. This will wipe\nout tho present constituency which Mr.\nGalliher represents, as It has shown the\ngreatest growth throughout the province,\nand already has more than sufficient population for two members. In the opinion of\nMr. Galliher, however, It waa not unlikely\nthat a complete rearrangement of the\nBritish Columbia constituencies will be\nundertaken.\nchair, Aaron Hall, the murdoror of Mamie\niiraunlgun, will pay the penalty of his\ncrime at Sing Sing this week.

C.\nDated this 26th July, 1902.\nOFFER A SUMMER SERVICE\nTRAMWAY COMPANY ANXIOUS TO\nHOLD ITS FRANCHISE.\nWILL AGREE TO RUN FOR THREE\nMONTHS EACH YEAR.\nAt the meeting of the city council\nlast evening there was a very short list\nof business to transact, and the regular\nmeeting was concluded in less than an\nnour. The report of the city engineer\non the cost of the contemplated improvements on Vernon street was read\nand referred to the board of works.\nSeveral Improvements to existing sidewalks were considered and autnorized.\nA petition was read, asking the council to grunt the sum of ,200 towards\nthe formation of a city band, the sum\nmentioned to be used iu the purchase of\ninstruments which would remain the\nproperty of the city. The petition recited that the city bands in the past\nhad relied on the cnance influx of bauds-\nmen, which had not proved satisfactory,\nbut that If a number of the young men\nwho were likely to remain iu the city\ntook It up the baud would he more likely\nto be a permanent arrangement. The\ncity owning most of the instruments\nwould always provide the nucleus of a\nband in any event. Six of tho proposed\nmembers own their own instruments.\nThe names signed were Fred. L. Irwin,\nA. R. Poole, W. B. Steed, R. McCand-\nlish, D. W. Rutherford, James Wndds,\nCharles Longhurst, J. W. Oman, D. H.\nProudfoot, Arthur A. Perrier, E. Irwin,\nW. E. Davidson, Koss Fleming, Clarence Goepel.\nA number of questions were asked hy\nthe aldermen regarding the band, which\nwere answered by F. L. Irwin, who presented the petition. He stated that\nwhile a number of the young men who\nwere going in for it were not proficient\non the instruments It was proposed to\npurchase, yet they were anxious to loam\naud as the majority could play, it was\nfelt that a good band could be formed.\nIn the past considerable money had\nbeen subscribed for city hands, which\nthrough the circumstance mentioned in\nthe petition had never lasted very long.\nThe mayor would he asked to be permanent president of the band, and the\ngovernment of the organization would\nhe iu the hands of a committee of three,\none of whom would also he selected by\nthe council. On motion of Aid. Hamilton, seconded by Aid. Irving, the council\nexpressed lis approval of the object and\nappointed a sommittee, consisting of\nAid. Selous, Scanlan and Morrison to\ngo Into the matter and report to the\ncouncil regarding the grant.\nA petition was read from the residents\nof the Hume addition, asking that the\ncity's water service he extended to\nthem. This was referred to the public\nworks committee.\nAid. Morrison enquired as to whether\nSaturday next would be a civic holiday.\nMayor Fletcher said that he understood\nit would he proclaimed a provincial\nholiday.\nThe council then adjourned till next\nMonday.\nAfter the .regular meeting had been\nfinished an informal one took place between the representatives of the Nelson\nTramway company aud tho aldermen.\nH. E. Croasdaile read a letter addressed\nto tlie council in which it was stated\nthat owing to tho tramway being operated at a considerable Iosb they wished\nto operate for only three months in\neach year, viz., June, July and August,\nand Btill retain their franchise. They\nalso asked that they be permitted to sell\npower for power purposes only. The\nmatter was then threshed out thoroughly and tho details of tho company's\noperations in the city during the two\nyears and a half that they had been\nrunning were gone into. It was stated\nby the directors present that unless the\nproposal mentioned conld be accepted\nthat the company had no choice but to\nsurrender their franchise and remove\ntheir rails and plant. They were willing\nto run three months of the year even\nnt a loss, and wait for things to brighten\nup, but they could not, possibly run ten\nmonths of the year. The members of\nthe council were averse to granting the\ntramway company the right to sell\npower, and this portion was finally\ndropped. It was decided that a bylaw\nshould be submitted to the people on\nthe question, the expense to be borne\nby the company, as to whether the company should be permitted to run three\nmonths only, and still retain their franchise. \t\nCASE OF SUDDEN DEATH.\nSnn Francisco, Aug. 4.\u2014Mrs. A.
