P. A. A. O. four-oared events,\ninterest in the approaching regatta,\nwhich had been lagging, has taken a\nnow lease of life.\nThose who have been watching the\ncrews in their spins say there is so far\nvery little apparent superiority. The\nvisitors are all likely looking men, and\nthey handle themselves well in the boat,\nbut they will probably do better when\nthey have had an interval of a day after\ntheir rather tedious journeys.\nThey are all delighted with their surroundings. The course afforded on the\nlake was a surprise to them, und they\nwere not looking for the up-to-date\nappointments of the local boat club.\nThe Portland men, who' made a record* at the last regatta at Shawnigan\nlake, are coming in for no small degree\nof interest. They have been forced\nrather late In the contest to make\nchanges in their junior and senior\nerews, but their representatives are all\npowerful men. In speaking of the crews\nas at present constituted, R. C. Hart\nexpressed the op.lnion that, while the\nsenior four might not be as fast as that\nof last season, it would give a good account of itself. The Portland men row\nthe distinctive American stroke. It is\nnot so pretty to watch as that of the\nother crews, but they are of the opinion\nthat they catch tho water stronger and\nfinish stronger than do the others.\nThey aim to divide the work up more\nbetween the legs and the arms, and in a\nword nre out to make the boat go\nrather than to contribute to the poetry\nof motion.\nThe Vancouver men have every confidence in their own ability. Their\nsenior crew was not out during the\nmorning, but they made up for It during\nthe afternoon, and took a couple of\nlively spins over the course. The junior\ncrew was out early in the morning, and\nthe boys are getting the kinks out of\nthemselves.\nTho Victoria crew, which had been entered in both the junior and senior\nfours, put in some good hard work.\nThey are the best balanced crew of the\nlot, nnd show plenty of life. Their\nstroke very closely resembles that of\nthe Nelson crew. They were about the\nfirst of the crews on tlie water this\nmorning, and It won't be necessary to\nrun an excursion from Victoria to ensure\nthem a good following to snout encouragement when they uro started off in\ntheir first race on Friday.\nOf the Nelson four it may be said that\nthey still figure themselves as in on the\nrace. Those who have seen them perform say that it is a question of their\nability to last, and the raoe itself is the\nonly satisfactory test for this.\nWhile the regatta is on the companies\noperating steamers on the lake have\nagreed to slow their boats down In\ncrossing the course, so that there fthall\nbe no danger of giving any ot the contestants their wash.\nTlie regatta executive lias Issued the\nrules to govern the meeting, but so far\nas the programme goes the executive\nreserves the right to pull the N. P. A.\nA. O. events off whenever they deem it\ndesirable. This is done so that nunc\nof the important races shall be spoiled\nby rough water.\nB. P. James is deserving of considerable praise for the skill he has displayed in the Interior decorations of the boat\nhouse of the Nelson club.\nThe crews in tho local lapstreaks have\nbeen drawn as follows for their races\nduring the regatta: Hedley vs. Macrae\nand Jesse vs. Day. The first heat is to\nbe run off on Friday afternoon, and\nthe final on Saturday.\nAn informal hop is to he given at the\nPhair hoto lthis evening in honor of the\nvisiting oarsmen,\nThe managing committee have adopted the following rules for the regatta;\nLength of course for N. P. A. A. O.\nraces, 1 1-2 miles; length of course for\nlapstreak fours, ono mile; length of\ncourse for skiffs and canoes, about one-\nthird of a mile. The finishing line lies\nbetween the club boat houso and a point\non the opposite shore.\nThe regatta will commence each day\nat 3 p. m. sharp, and will finish as near\nti p. m. as possible.\nA bell will be rung and each event\nannounced seven minutes beforo the\ntime the crews taking part in the event\nto leave the boat house.\nAH contestants must be at the starting\npost on time or they will he scratched.\nEach race will be started by pistol or\ngun shot, and tlie finish announced in a\nsimilar way,\nIn N. P. A. A. O. races the colors of\nthe crews will he hoisted on tho boat\nhouse flagstaff, in the order in which\nthey finish. In all other events tho\nresults will be announced by megaphone.\nMen's and ladies' doubles and singles\naro to be rowed in inrigged lapstreak\nskiffs. In mixed doubles a girl or boy\ncoxwaln is to lie carried.

Entries for all these\nraces must bo made with G. t<. Hodge\nIn every caso not later than 11 n. m. on\nthe day tho race is to bo rowed.\nThe side linns of tho course will bo\nmarked by buoys carrying Hags, and all\nspectators alloat are particularly requested to keep outside these lines, and\nclear the course, as otherwise the success of the regatta will bo seriously interfered with.\nOnly the officials of the N.

District No. 13 (Iowa), sent $6,000.\nMr. Mitchell says the national officers\nof the organization are considering the\nmatter of accepting the offer of the\nBritish trades union, through their federation, of financial aid.\nThe Indianapolis unions met tonight\nand resolved to assess members at least\none per cent per week on their earnings,\nfor the anthracite strikers. This will\namount to $2,000 per week.\nIndianapolis, July 22.\u2014Only president\nMitchell and one or two members of the\nnational executive board of the United\nMine Workers remained In town today.\nThe care of the national organization\nwill be now to see to the collection of\nthe defence fund that is to carry on the\nstrike. Secretary Wilson, financial heed\nof the union, will be In Chicago this\nweek and will lose no time in maklrg\nprovision to handle the sums. It Is believed that all the voluntary contributions from the various districts and\nlocal organizations will be turned Into\nhis hands within the next ten days.\nThese are estimated at about \u00bb.\" \u2022 -\nA part of the contributions has already\nbeen turned In. Ohio leaving a check fnr\n{10,000 before their delegation left Indianapolis, and $50,000 from Illinois Is\nexpected tomorrow. A systematic plan\nwill be adopted for canvassing for outside subscrlptiins, and It Is probable\nthat central labor unions In all big\ncities will be asked to take charge of\nthe task. The miners hope to raise\n$250,000 a week from the public contributions, ns this sum will he needed to\nbring the sum up to '500,000.\nIn a statement Issued today, president\nMitchell estimates that contributions\nfrom district and local organizations for\ndefraying strike expenses will amount\nto $400,000 ,and estimates the weekly\nassessments from the 24 districts of the\ncountry at $244,000, of which $7,000 is\nexpected from Colorado miners. Tlie\ntotal number of anthracite strikers <n\nthe Pennsylvania fields is estimated at\n150,000, and the total number of dependents In that field Is placed at 750,000. The\nnumber of strikers (bituminous) in the\nWest Virginia fields Is estimated at\n25,000, with 75,000 dependents.\nOVER 250 PERSONS KILLED GENELLE GOES TO DAWSON\nRECOVERING    BODIES   FROM THE\nPRYMUS WRECK.\nTHERE ARE STILL 104 PASSENGERS\nMISSING.\nHamburg .July 22.\u2014Later details of\nthe collision between the excursion\nsteamer Prymus and the tug Hansa\nprove it to have been one of the most\nappalling in many yearB.

This stupendous sum is required not to promote\nsome industrial enterprise that will provide wages for a large number of workmen and prove a blessing to the world\nat large, but to keep thousands of men\nin idleness. Vast as this sum Is, every\none knows that it will represent but an\ninsignificant portion of the real cost of\nthe strike. The money asked for is\nsimply to provide strike wages for those\nwho would otherwise be absolutely\npenniless.\nThis appeal should bring home to the\npublic the Insane folly of the present\nmehod of settling (?) industrial disputes. Opponents of compulsory arbitration will nnd it difficult to defend a\nsystem which necessitates an appeal of\nthis kind. For granted the right of the\nemployers to refuse to accede to the\ndemands of their employees, a similar\nright inures to the men to decline to\nwork, and precipitate a condition of\naffairs like that which exists in the\nanthracite coal regions today. The fact\nof tho matter is that a more insensate\nmethod of adjusting disputes arising between employer and employee than tho\nstrike could not be conceived, and it can\nonly be compared to the small boy's\nrefusal to play when one of his companions offends him, Still foolish as\ntho strike is it is about the only recourse working men now have to secure\ntheir alleged rights. Very rarely do\nthey win all they strike for, but the\nfear of the loss and inconvenience a\nstrike occasions often enables them to\ncompel their employers to giant concessions sometimes fair, sometimes unreasonable. It is a sad commentary\nthough on our boasted civilization that\nthese differences have to be settled in\nthis way, by a species of terrorism on\ntlio one hand, and by a process of starvation on the other.\nOpponents of compulsory arbitration\nurgo that this process would bo entirely\none-sided. They claim that the employer\nhaving property at stake would be compelled to abide by tlie decisions of the\narbitration court, whereas tlie employees, if tlie decision did not suit\nthem, could easily leave tho locality.\nThere Is really nothing In this contention. Under existing conditions if tho\nmen do not like the terms of settlement\nand they can afford to do so, they leave,\nbut In tlie majority of cases they return\nto work. Tho same thing would apply\nundor compulsory arbitration, though\nwith tlio very distinct advantage to tlie\nemployer that there would be no obstacle raised to his efforts to secure\nmen to tnke the place of those who did\nnot care to abide by tho decision of the\ncourt. In fact he would have not only\ntiie law at his back but public opinion\nas well. Excopt for employers who\ndeslro n strike \u2022 from somo ulterior\nmotive there is nothing, to be feared in\na properly framed compulsory arbitration law. And anything that will put\na stop to lockouts and all the uncertainties of present methods of conducting\nindustrial wars, should be welcomed as\na benefit to the entire community, including both parties to tlie dispute.\nKOOTENAY CONDITIONS.\nUnder the above caption, the Toronto\nMonetary Times prints the following:\nA gentleman connected with one\nof  the    prominent    industries  in\nNelson,  B.  C,    called    upon    the\nMonetary Times this week.    Upon\nbeing asked what were the prevailing conditions    in    the Kootenay\ncountry at the present time he was\nnot rose colored in his statements\nor sanguine In his predictions.   One\nthing he was most careful to state in\nthe course of his remarks, and that\nis the feeling of apprehension that\nexists in the Kootenay lest legislation in labor matters might pre-\n' sently further injure the mining interests of that district.   The British\nColumbia  act  of  1900,  shortening\nthe   hours of a day's   labor   did\nan Immense amount of harm from\nwhich tho province has not yet recovered.   Today, the effort is being\nmade by the working    miners to\nsecure   compulsory    arbitration in\nmining disputes.   To consent to this,\nor to frame a law in Its favor, would,\nour Informant   contends, handicap\nthe   mine   owners most unjustly,\nbecause .among other reasons, the\nowner's investment is permanent in\nthe soil, and   his   expenses heavy,\nwhereas the miner, who is none too\nnumerous, can pack his valise and\ngo over to Montana if he is dissatisfied.    It behooves    the    dominion\ngovernment, in framing a law for\nthe adjustment of labor disputes, to\nhave regard to the views of the mining interest.   Conditions in the far\nwest of British Columbia or even in\nthe west of Ontario, are very different from those prevailing in portions of Canada further east.   And\ntherefore, regulations   that   might\nseem flair to us here might ho far\nfrom equitable if put in force in\nthe Kootenay.   A letter from Rossland dated July 8th, represents the\nmining business there as in a condition almost the reverse of buoyant.\nIf the anonymous gentlemen, of high\ncommercial standing, who travel about\nthe    east    \"knocking\"   this province,\nwould only be a little more explicit in\ntheir statements thoy would do less injury to the country.   It appears to be a\nmania with some men who have investments in this province to spread abroad\nvague rumors of prospective industrial\ntroubles, thereby giving not only the\nmining Industry, but all other industries the worst   kind of a black eye\nwhere it is must desirable to establish\nconfidence.   These same \"knockers\" invariably intimate thai any aud every\nproposed legislative enactment for the\nprevention of tlie troubles they complain of would make matters worse. And\nso they create in the minds of eastern\npeople an impression  lhat a hopeless\ncondition of affairs    prevails in  this\nprovince, with the result that investors\nfight shy of us.   It is not contended for\na moment that an ideal state of affairs\nexists in this province so fur as industrial relations are concerned, but it may\nfairly be said that things are no woise\nhere than in any other part of Canada,\nwhere labor difficulties arise every day\nwithout giving rise to any outcry on the\npart of their prominent business men.\nWhen a certain class of British Columbian goes abroad he always has a\ntale of woe to unfold.   Tho Injury this\nsort of thing does to the province is incalculable.   There is no call to deceive\nor mislead outsiders by distorting actual\nconditions, at the same time for prominent business   men,   so-called, to be\nalways whiuiug   about   problematical\nlabor troubles is decidedly vicious.   It\nis a pity men of that twpe are allowed\nat large without muzzles.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nPlerpont Morgan is not a poker player,\nIn fact, he is very much opposed to that\nform of gambling, aud strongly objects\nto hearing it referred to as \"a typical\nAmerican game. During his recent visit\nto England tho great financier was asked\nhis opinion of America's \"king of\ngames.\" Mr. Morgan's reply was more\nforcible than polite.    He said:\nPoker is not a game characteristic of the American people. It never\nwas. It never will be. It is a bad\ngame. It is based upon a lie. The\nman who has the greatest capacity\nfor deceit wins. To become n strong\nplayer ho studies lo develop the\nmost Ignoble and most un-American faculty. Tlie effect upon boys\nis to make them think deceit and\nbluff are smart nnd essential to\nsuccess in work as woll as pluy. It\nIs an initiations game and ought to\nbe abolished.

WE GABBY THE MOST COMPLETE STOCK OF\nFIREARMS IN CANADA\nCHARLES E. TISDALL\nVANCOUVER\nTHE CLIMAX OF AMELIA\nTRAVERS' ONLY ROMANGE\nSlio had arrived at the ago when people begin to tell a woman that she looks\nyoung. To herself, wbo had thus drawn\nthe curtain across tho first half of an\neven-running existence, Amelia Travers\nadmitted that, so far, tho drama of life\nhnd persistently not led up to a climax,\nand It was precisely at this stage that\nthe motonony of expected things began\nto Jar.\nMiss Travers was 31 when her father\ndied. His daughter came to London\nwith the dimly conscious intention of\nlighting against tho prescribed narrowness ot her worBted-worlt fato. She\nwont to the theatres, the galleries, and\nexhibitions, seeing life in a mild kind\nof way, making frionds readily, and,\nfor at least live years, feeling nlmost\nhappy in an independence, shared\nwith tho spectacled and mentally superior MIsb Grimwood. Then there came\na period when theso things palled.\nAmelia grew whimperingly discontented\nat tho small demands life made upon\nher. Her library, the little Hat of cosy\nease, with tho yellow daffodils In slim\nvases and variously framed photographs\u2014the centre of her little world\u2014\nthese censed to please. Her days were\nfilled with irritation. She became tired;\nher lino eyes looked indifference on all\nthings. \"If I only hnd the oxcltcmcnt\nof fighting for a career,\" she said, \"of\ncarving my own wny. Thnt would bo\nsplendid and worth doing.\"\nThey met at somebody's \"afternoon.\"\nThe rooms were hot and overcrowded\nwith potted palms and half-Ilnished\nfaces; there was a little music and much\ntalking, with intervals of tea and mustard and cress sandwiches. Amelia,\nwhose head ached, thought vaguely of\ntho cattle-pen ovorfull; sho wondered\nlistlessly why sho and tho others wero\nthere. The strident voices mixed in\nsemi-brilliant conversation; the love\nditties of the singing professional, bent\non self-advertisement, made her temples throb. She longed to he nway, far\naway from everything nnd everybody.\nTo her, seated In such-like meditation\nby the window\u2014the window that always\noverlooks the St, John's Wood \"de-\ntachod\" garden\u2014thero manoeuvred presently her hostess, fat and very warm,\nbut perfectly good-natured, bringing\nwith her a tall, fair, indolent-faced man\nof about six-and-twenty. \"I must introduce Mr. Dorman to yau,\" she ejaculated, The words \"author, journalist,\njiooks,   so   Interesting,\"     trailed   on\nthe air, and Mrs. Mayne was gone,\nswept doorwards to receive fresh victims of tho \"afternoon.\"\nThey commenced talking at once. Soon\nAmelia forgot her fatigue, and found\nherself laughing unaffectedly at Stephen's remarks. He was easily witty without Intention and amusing without design, a rara avis among humorists. They\ndiscussed ilrstly, books and other people;\nlastly, themselves.\n\"Do you know, he said, as he rose to\ngo\u2014the rooms were nearly empty now\nand the noise of teacups hushed\u2014\"I\nhave made several discoveries about,\nyou \"\n\"Being?\" snid Miss Travers gaily.\n\"Ah! I will acquaint you with them\nsomo other time\u2014if I may,\" he said, \"if\nI have your permission to call?\" Ho\nhad. Amelia went home in a whirl. She\nhnd reached tho age of 38, and people\nwere beginning to find out fresh things\nabout her; that was pleasant.\nHe had tea in the feminine little flat\non the following Sunday, with Amelia's\nbrightest smile opposite him, and Miss\nGrimwood somewhere in the background\nthat seemed her fitting placo ia the picture.\nHe came again; he came often. Finally\nIt grew to be his habit regularly to go\nthero and eat enko and talk with Miss\nTravers. At her age a woman Is, if ever\nin her life, a good listener; Amelia's\nexpresslvo oyes were a confirmation all-\nsufficient of her sincere interest In his\nwork. With this encouragement It\npleased Dorinnn to bestow confidence.\nHe discussed seriously with her tnliiultae\nof detail and found her genuinely helpful. Naturally keen nnd far-selng, he\nwas nevertheless diffident In dealing\nwith the emotions of the other sex, and\nit was here that Miss Travers cinnc in\nopportunely. Hor perceptions were\nquick; she saw things from a woman's\npoint of view. Also, she had pleasure\nIn discussing him with herself. She became possessed of a religions belief In\nIlormau's powers, which amazed and\nflattered him, and awoke In him u sense\nof new possibilities as yet undreamed\nof.\nIt wns the after-summer with the\nfirst heat pleasantly passed, a cool\nautumn of fresh tints and delicious\ngreenness, of dancing lights and dazzling skies. The leaves on the trees In\nKensington gardens wore still yuung\nand looked it; they rustled In a gentle\nrestlessness the afternoon Amelia Travel's walked there In happy thought.\nIn her pocket wns Dorman'B letter.\nShe knew It every line, and yet again\nand again hnd drawn It out to read nnd\nre-rend, with hot cheeks and tremulous\nhands. An era had been lived since the\nmorning when it reached her, this dear\nfirst love letter, written in the small\nillegible hand Dorman plagued the\nprinters with. For the sweet excuse to\nlook at it anew she would pretend to\npuzzle out each word separately, trying\nto forget that the whole was stamped\nindelibly on her memory. \"Will you,\"\nho wrote \"who are tho one woman in\nthe world for me, give yourself to me?\"\nHer reply she would send that afternoon; he would get it in the evening.\nAnd the next day Dorman would call.\nSho trembled at the prospect of that\ninterview, when they two would meet\nIn the light of a perfect understanding.\nAt llrst she would not be able to meet\nhis eyes, sho thought, and laughed\nsoftly at the shyness that hnd thus come\nto her.\nIt is dangerous to walk thus lightly\nwitli the gods whom tho display of n\nwanton happiness provokes.  Amelia did\nnot know She sped quickly\nhomewards on flying feet; thnt throbbing song of gratitude repeating itself\nail the way. In the faces that she met\nsho read new meanings\u2014the whole\nworld had grown gny, and danced together. Arrived nt the \"Mansions,\" she\nran lightly up the steps. There were\nfriends at tho flat that afternoon\u2014acquaintances of Sophia's and her own.\nShe could hear from without the steady,\ninterminable buzz-buzzing of the inil-\nnite feminine voice, with now aud again\nnt distant intervals, the interpolation of\nan elderly masculine monotone. Theso\nwere Sophia's specialties whom, therefore, it behooved her friend to honor.\nAmelia paused for an instant outside\nthe hanging curtain of green art serge,\nflanked by another of weird bcadery, in\norder to take breath, for she had hurried unconsciously. From the inside\ntlie voice of Mrs, MacWhirter was raised\nin confidence; Amelia Idly identified its\nshrillness.\n\"My dear,\" it was saying, \"the whole\nthing is absurd.\" The manner was\ndogmatic, authoritative,  characteristic.\nAmelia smiled.\n\"But I don't see why \" raised In\nmild objection,\n\"You wouldn't. You haven't had my\nexperience, and you can't understand.\nHe is bnrely five-nnd-tweuty\u2014a mere\nboy\u2014and she forty, and looks her ngo.\nOf course\" \u2014 magnanimously\u2014\"I nc-\nknowlcdgc thnt poor dear Amelia might\npass, on her best days, for, sny, 311, as\nbis well-preserved aunt. But when he\nIs 40, nnd she over 50, she will bo taken\nfor his grandmother. Positively. Oh,\nit's ludicrous. They would be a laughing-stock to everyone.    Dear   Amelia\n\"But If she cares for him, and you\nadmit he's devoted to her \" interjected tho pale voice.\n\"She wouldn't be such a crass fool\u2014\"\nQuite mechanically, Amelia dropped\nthe curtain, and moved n little away.\nFor a moment she held the banisters.\nShe had certainly hurried too much,\nfor sho felt faint. The voices of a\nthousand MacWhlrters screaming in her\nears kept hor from unconsciousness. Sho\nmoved slowly down the passage to her\nroom. Tho lightning hurled by tlie\nvengeful gods had struck her face Into\nashen grnyness, and tho light from her\nblinded oyes. It left her shaking\u2014a\nparalyzed thing of uncertain gait that\ngroped Its wny to her desk.\n\"Mr. Dorman is rntlier sudden sometimes,\" snid Sophia n week later. \"I\nwonder why ho joined that Egyptian\nexpedition at a moment's notice, so to\nspeak? 1 suppose the Mail is paying him\nwell.\"\n\"I think so\u2014I hope so,\" rcpltcd Miss\nTravers, abstractedly. \"You know.\"\nwith u wonderful kind of smile, \"I\nalways took a\u2014motherly Interest In\nMm.\"  VUtiA tit.\nA COLLEGE OF COURTSHIP\nHAS JUST BEEN    ESTABLISHED IN\nTENNESSEE.\nTO INSTRUCT IN SCIENTIFIC LOVE\nMAKING.\nIt is a mistnko to suppose that kissing\n\"comes natural.\"\nAs a matter of fact it Is a fine art that\nneeds to bo studied with all the assiduity\nthat a lawyer devotes to hla Blackstone.\nTho time has passed when the tyro can\nfind In the oscillatory embrace the means\nof expressing all tho pent-up feelings that\nmere feeble words so 111 avail to convey.\nOn the contrary, the swain of the futuro\nmust bo a specialist of the subject of\nkissing. Ho must havo mastered overy\ndetail of the science of lovemnklng, und\nns proof of his proficiency ho must bo able\nto exhibit a diploma from a College of\nCourtship.\nAs yet there fs only one of those colleges\nIn existence. It hns Just been established\nut Atwood, Tennessee. Tho degree it will\nIssue, will be oxpresscd hy D. L., which\nmeans Doctor of Luvo. The founder and\npresident of this uniquo school Is professor\nT, J. Brooks.\nTho aim of the founder Is' to help nil\nthose whoso nmutury education has boon\nneglected. Ho bus surrounded himself\nwith a corps of competent Instructors und\nIs nil ready for tho spring rush.\nStudents In the College of Courlsh'-\nwill bo taken through several degrees before they become doctors of love. The college course is lo consist of four terms\nThere will bo an elective course for the\ndegreo of bachelor of hearts, to consist of\nthree terms, ns well ns a post-graduate\ncourse for the degree of Experienced Benedict.\nIn tho freshmnn term ihe studies, which\nnre mostly non-elcctlvo, will consist of\nrecftntlons and lectures upon meteorology,\nlanguage, tokens, diagnosis, driving with\none-hand\u2014Including tho choice of a horse\n\u2014botany, deportment, flnnncc-as applied\nto candy, flowers nnd theatre tiekets-tho\nmanngement of gus jots nnd the control\nof clocks.\nDuring tho second term the students will\ntake up the art of salutation, style In letter\nwriting, engagement rings, the management of younger brothers, the danger of\ntho tintype and tho law of breach of\npromise. During this term, too, attention\nwill bo paid to general outdoor work, nnd\nthero will bo moonlight excursions and\nvisits of observation to tho parks.\nIn tho senior yenr tho prescribed studios\nwill follow tho snmo general lino, but in\naddition each student will be required to\nshow fnmnllnrlty with his or her studies\nnnd must ho able to satisfy (lie examiners\nIn tho three subjects of \"ability to arouse\ninterest, tho dlscourngement of rivalry\nnnd the nrt of expressing affection.\" The\ndegree of Bachelor of Hearts will only be\ngranted whon n student enn bring forward\na girl who believes In him under nil clr-\ncumstnnces, while tho post-graduate degreo of Expei-Ioneed Benedict will only bo\nconferred upon grndunfes of Iho collngo\nwho. nfter a year of marriage, enn display\ncertificates, signed by their wives, making\nnfjldnvlt that they hnvo never regretted\ntheir choice.\nTho plan of the College nf Courtship is\nbased on Professor Brooks\" belief thai (ho\nnverngo young mnn does not know ho'w to\nmnko love to the average young woman,\nnnd thnt tho young womnn of todny does\nnot understand the nrt of being loved by\nthe modern young mnn. Tn his opinion the\nmnnifostntlons of love, of tenderness nnd\nof devotion nro twitters which can bo\ntnught to those whoso bashfulnoss or Inok\nof Initiative prevents them from socking\nthefr affinity In love. Spontaneity fs nil\nvery well for those who have ft, says Professor Brooks, but for fhoso who nro without this accomplishment n course of scientific lovemnklng Is the best substitute,\nA text book designed cspcrLilly for tho\nuse of tho bashful, gives the prellminnry\nnnd more advanced steps of n courtship,\nThe lessons aro so arranged thnt every\ncontingency, both of complexion nnd disposition. Is provided for. The student who\nhns mado conscientious prngn-ss through\nthis work will, In tho opinion of the fne-\nuffy, be so well equipped wilh the requisites to scientific lovemnklng that ho will\nhnvo no difficulty In shirting a progresslvo\nconversation wilh nny young woman by\nwhom he mny he attracted, while a womnn\nstudent who has been through tho book\nwill find It easy to make properly coy yet\nenticing replies to any suitor who may\npresent himself.\nCHARGE OP WITCHCRAFT.\nCauses   a   Chllkat   Indian    to   Attempt\nMurder.\nBlind Isaac, a notorious character among\ntho Chllkat Indians, shot and dangerously\nwounded an Indian woman last week,\naccording to mall advices from Skagway.  .\nDave Wllliard, an Indian policeman, convoyed tho woman to Skagway, where she\nIs being cared for in the Red Cross hospital. Tho would-be murderer was placed\nIn jail pending the result of his victim's\nwounds.\nThe trouble arose over witchcraft. An\nIndian at Haines Is sold to bo dying from\nconsumption, and Skundo, the notorious\nIndian doctor, accused another' Indian, a\nrelative of Blind Isaac, of bewitching the\nconsumptive and thus causing an incurable\naffliction by preventing tho medicine from\nbeing operative. The Indians got hold of\nsome whiskey on tho Fourth of July and\nthe troublo became quite acute, but the\nnatives all returned to Chllkoot where they\nnre engaged In fishing, without actual\nhostilities breaking out.\nTuesday morning Blind Isaac heard that\nnn Indian had threatened to kill his relative, who Is accused of witchcraft, and he\nsent his squaw to the wife of the fellow\nwho had made the threats and requested\nher to come to his tent. The woman came\nas directed and when Inside the tent, before a word was uttered and without warning Isaac opened fire on her with a Its-cull-\nher revolver, shooting her twice. Ono ball\nentered the right thigh and the other the\nforearm. Both shots entered from behind\nnnd came out In front\nBlind Isaac threatened to shoot anyone\nwho attempted to arrest him, and fired\ntwo shots through the tent from within\nwhen the Indian police officer approached.\nHe told them that he would shoot Snook,\nthe mnrshal, If the Intter came down after\nhim, but a little matter like that did not\ndeter Snook nnd Burns. Willlard, who led\nthe officers to the bad Indian, constantly\ncautioned them to keep on guard and t\nhavo their guns ready for Instant use, bu*\nthis was found to be unnecessary, as Isaac\ntrue to his name, was so nearly blind that\nthey had hold of him before he saw them,\nIsaac Is a member of tho Salvation Army,\nnnd began praying at once after his arrest\nand has kept It up at regular Intervals\never since.\nGOOD FRIENDS AGAIN.\nLima, Peru, July 21.\u2014It is said on reliable authority that diplomatic relations\nby Chili and Peru will shortly be resumed.

There Is talk of an\nappeal to William to elilmnate the ancestry clause from the now matrimonial\nregulations.\nNELSON'S COMING SURPLUS\nCITY   CLERK   ESTIMATES   IT   AT\nFULLY ?l(i,000.\nMADE   UP   OP   INCREASED   TAXES\nAND ARREARS.\nAside from the prospect of a material\naddition to the tux rate, the last report\nol' the finance committee shows the\nfinancial condition of the corporation\nin a very good light.\nAs is usual in financial statements\ncovering tlie first hall ol the financial\nyear, the expenditures show a considerable excess over ttie revenue, hut the\nreason for this is obvious as the real\nestate taxes as a rule do not become\npayable until tlie last Quarter. The excess ol expenditures over receipts tor\nthe first half ot the present year is given\nat $15,857, but this is very little in excess of the excess for the corresponding\nperiod in the previous year, which in\nround figures was ?14,0U0. Compared\nwith the previous year no fault can he\nfound with the showing us made by the\nmembers ol! the finance committee so\nfar as the amount of the excess over\nreceipts goes, and the record of the\ncouncil must be judged more by the\nvalue which it has received for the\nmoney It has expended rather than the\ntotal of its expenditures.\nCoupled with the report of the finance\ncommittee is un estimate by the city\nclerk of the probable revenue and expenditure of the corporation for the\nbalance of the year. If this estimate is\nrealized the corporation will have u\ncredit balance at the end of the year of\n$10,000. Tliis, like ail surpluses in the\ncompiling of which politicians have a\nhand, will have its existence on paper,\nas it is not contended that the balance\nwill be shown in cash. If it is realized\nat all it will he by a material Increase\nin the tax rate, and the inclusion, of the\narrears under the various heads of receipts, and tlie prospect of carrying on\nnecessary public works out of it will\nprobably diminish as the date for Us\nmaterialization approaches.\nThero Ib one remark which was dropped hy the mayor in the course of the\ndebate upon the civic finances which\nmight fittingly call for some explanation. This was in effect that during\nthe second year of his administration\nthe council is still paying debts contracted by the last administration of\nJohn Houston. If this is true the members of the present council owe it to\nthemselves to have tho circumstance\nmore fully explained. It was generally\nunderstood, that the last loan bylaw,\nwhich netted the council ?103,7S1.25, not\nonly provided for tho ?7<i,0G0 worth of\ndebentures which were hypothecated to\nthe bank of Montreal, as well as the\nhank overdraft of 1518,778.14, and the outstanding Indebtedness of the corporation, but left tlie premium which the\ndebentures brought as a nest egg for the\nnew council to do business on. If this\nmatter lias not been properly understood it is time a little light wns\nthrown upon It, and more particularly\nas to the inference that the present\ncouncil is called upon to pay accounts\ncontracted by ihe council of 1900.\nFINANCE COMMITTEES' REPORT.\nTo Iho Mayor and Council of tho City of\nNolson:\nYour flnnnco comltteo beg to report as\nfollows:\n1.

The mill is to be\nstarted again on the first of August, and\nIn a short time there will be a crew of 50\non the payroll, and as a number of\nthese are married men with families, tho\nreopening of the mine means a great\ndeal to Nelson. The force now employed are getting the ore bins filled, ready\nfor the mill. Work is being carried on\nat each of the six levels, AH sloping is\nbeing done with Baby Rand drills, the\nlarge machine drill being used for development. Practically no hand drilling\nwill be done in the mine. Development\nwork is to be continued on the lower,\nNo. fj tunnel, while the ore at present\nbeing stoped out is on the upper or No. 1\nlevel. At the mill the men are employed replacing the vanners, which\nwero used in the past with Wilfley\ntables,\nThe mine Is situated about live miles\nfrom Nelson, with which it Is connected\nby wagon road. Till last year the Granite and Poorman were worked as separate properties, hut under the name of the\nDuncan Mines, Ltd., the two were amalgamated. In 1900 the company operating the Poorman mined and milled\nabout 9,000 tons of ore, but during 1901\nvery little outside development was\ndone. The values of the ores are\nchiefly In gold. On the Granite, ir. the\nsame year, 3,000 tons of ore were\nhandled, the properLy only being run\neight months before being closed down.\nThe company have a number of buildings on the ground besides the mill, including bunk houses, dining room and\nminers' eottages. The mill is located\nsome distance below the mine, and en\nthe Kootenay river, only a few hundred\nyards from the bridge crossing ihe river.\nThere is a wagon road from the mill to\na railway siding close to the bridge.\nWater for power at the cull is dtrlved\nfrom Granite creek, which m tapped at\na point close to the mine and brought\ndown the mountain side in an iron fluinc\nto the mill.\nOperations have also been resumed on\nthe Referendum at which the five-stamp\nmill, the machinery for which was\nhauled out lust summer Is being placed\nin position for use. The Referendum\nis a short distance west of tlie Poorman,\nthe ore being very much the same ns\nthat of the first-named property. Still\nfurther west, on Forty-Nine creek, is\nthe Alexander group of claims, from\nwhich a trial shipment of two tons is\nbeing sent this week to the Trail smelter, J. L, D. Berg, of Chicago, who owns\nthe group, has been In Nelson for some\nweeks past superintending the work nt\ntlie property and intends continuing the\ndevelopment of it through tlie summer,\nif tho returns from the smelter are as\nfavorable as expected.\nWhile there is not as much prospecting being done along Forty-Nine.and\nBird creeks as in past years, a number\nof miners are spending the summer on\ntheir claims developing them, and some\ngood leads have been struck.\nFERNIE'S POLICE FORCE.\nLestock R. Forbes Appointed Chief\nConstable of the District.\nTho large police district of Kootenay,\nof which W. H. Bullock-Webster has\nbeen chief for the past two years, has\nbeen divided into two .southeast Kootenay being a complete division. Lostock\nR. Forbes has been appointed chief or\nthe new division, with headquarters at\nFernie. Mr. Forbes has had large experience in police affairs, and should be\nthoroughly competent to take charge of\npolice matters here. He was first appointed to the force at Silverton in 1897.\nFrom there he was transferred to Kus-\nkanok und upon the completion of the\nrailway construction was again situated\nat Silverton. Since then he has served\non the provincial force at New Denver,\nThree Forks and Lardo until 1900 when\nlie joined the C. M. R. and went to\nSouth Africa. He has now complete\ncontrol of the police in this district, and\nwill no doubt give a good account of\nhimself.
