C, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY SI, 1903.\nAged Pontiff Is Recipient of\nCostly Gifts\nCatholics From All Parts\nDo Him Honor\nRome, Fob. 20.\u2014The pope completed the\nfunctions of his Jubilee today without undue fatigue. Upon returning to 'nls apartments, the pontiff, exclaimed, \"This is\nreally the happiest day of my life.\"\n\"It scorns impossible that It Is twenty-\nfive years since I have been there,\" was\nthe pope's exclamation as ho looked from\na window of his apartment this morning\nInto tho sunlit piazza of St. Peter's. This\nwas the pontiff's only reference to his\nlong term of self-imposed Imprisonment\nIn the Vatican during which \"no never hns\ngone beyond thc palace grounds nnd St.\nPeter's, which Is. considered to be tho\nnorth vatlcan.\nEarly this morning letlcrs nnd tcle-\ngnims began arriving at the Vatican, congratulating his holiness upon tho anniversary. A majority of thc foreign tributes came from France, Spain, Austria,\nand Bavaria, but among hundreds of\nothers were many from Great Britain.\nIreland and tlie ('lifted States. Autograph letters were received from ttie czar,\nemperor Francis Joseph of Austria, nnd\nking Alfonso of Spain. The pontiff Insisted upon rending them personally, as\nfar as possible, and he sent the others to\nthe translators. At noon the pope re-\nt eeived in audience a number of representatives of Catholic associations and Italian\nan* foreign representatives of religious\norders. In the afternoon a To Deum was\nsung in tho Vatican. Tho singing of the\nTo Deum, which was a most Impressive\nservice, was conducted by cardinal Itam-\npolla, In the presence of more than a score\nof cardinals and. twice as many bishops,\ntogether with Innumerable priests and lay\nspectators. The pontiflclal noble guard\nwas present, wearing their now uniforms\nfor the llrst time.\nAnother interesting feature of the day's\nceremonies was tho presentation to the\nholy futher,of a magnificent tiara of gold\nas the \"offering of filial love from his\nchildren. The tiara will bo worn for tho\nllrst time by tho pope on thc anniversary\nof his consecration two weeks hence. The\ntiara consists of three crowns stundlng\nsuperimposed In high relief, representing\ntho triple power of the papacy, tho whole\nbeing surmounted by a cross.\nAt this ceremony tho pope was accom-\npanlod by cardinals Mocennt, Porrautl,\nFerrari, Satolll, Resplghi, Boschi and\n- \u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0 Alacchi, and escorted by the much admired\nnoble guards. On tho right of the pontlflcial throne was assembled the pecci family\nto which the pope belongs and on the left\nstood count Almortovar. When tho pontiff ascended the throne, he seemed to be\nIn a kind of glorified atmosphere, cardinal\nResplghi, vicar of Rome, read an affectionate address expressing loyalty and devotion nnd offered the gold tiara, the jubilee present of the Catholic world, which\ncost $25,000 und $40,000 In cash.\nCardinal Perrarl, archbishop of Milan,\nIn behalf of a pilgrimage from Lombardy,\npresented nn address of felicitation to the\npope and the gold, silver and bronze commemorative medals. The pope thanked the\nLombardy pilgrims aud gave Hum his\nblessing.\nCardinal Boscld road a third address nnd\npresented to his holiness the symbolical\nkeys, ono of gold ami the other of silver,\naccompanied by nu offering of $10,000 in\ngold coins. Tho Roman committee for the\nJubilee fetes presented a rich parchment\nvolume with the signatures of all who\nhad contributed to the offerings, with another $40,000 to be devoted to the restoration of the Basilica of St. John.\nLater on other committees followed with\nnddresses and offerings. The pope then\ncharged monsieur Blsloti, his master of\nchamber to read a latin speech, addressed\n\"To my honorable brothers and believing\nchildren,\" in which his holiness expresses satisfaction nt the manifestations\nof which he Is thc object on the part of\n\u25a0 tho whole Catholic world. For the second\ntlmo In a century, continued pope Leo,\nChrist has wished to glorify Ids vicar on\nearth by allowing him to reach the years\nof St. Peter. The address ended by saying thnt tho pontiff was happy to celebrate his Jubilee amidst the homage nnd\nveneration of tho Catholic universe.\nAfter bestowing the npostolic blessing\ntho pope returned to his apartments amid\nthe enthusiastic plaudits of the multitude.\nIn St. Peter's this afternoon cardinal\nRamnolhi celebrated a solemn mass and\nTe Deum,\nTho pope retired at 10 o'clock at night,\nsaying to nis valet, \"I am really satisfied\nwith the day's work.\"\nLeo XIIT. Is the two hundred and fifty-\nseventh occupant of tho chair of St. Peter,\nand of that long lino of popes only two\nothers have lived to colebrato tbo silver\n;tubllce of their pontificates. These were\nSt. Peter himself, according to tradition,\nnnd Leo's predecessor, Plus IX., whose\ntenure of the see of Rome extended to\nthirty-one years seven months and twenty-\ntwo days. It was on February 20, 1878, that\nVincent Joachim Pecci, by a majority of\nfour votes, was elected as supreme hend\nof the Roman Catholic church, the triple\ntiara being placed upon his brow on March\n3rd.\nHis holiness was born at Carplneto on\nMarch 2nd, 1810, and had, acorcdlngly, entered his sixty-ninth year when the coronation ceremony was performed. Dr. Lap-\nponl, the pope's physician has expressed\nthe opinion that should only natural\ncauses be In operation: that Is to say,\napart from nny accident, his holiness may\nyet live to be a centenarian. Leo himself has the fullest confidence In his own\nlongevity, and In this connection an Interesting anecdote is related. A young\njournalist had secured the privilege of\npresentation to his holiness. Asked what\nattracted him, a Protestant journalist, to\ntha eternal city, the young man blurted\nout that he was there to prepare for the\nconclave. \"Then,\" replied the pontiff,\n\"you make take a long holiday, for there\nwill be no conclave for a good time to\ncome.\"\nOn another occasion a French bishop\nwas making his visit \"ad limlna.\" On\ntaking his leave of the holy father he expressed a fear that this would be his farewell, as, at the pope's age, he could hardly be expected to find him in the chair of\nSt. Peter when he made hla next canonical visit. \"And when do you hope to come\nto us again?\" asked the pope. \"Alas, holy\nfather,\" replied the prelate, \"it may not\nbe until seven whole years are past.\" \"If\nso God spare your life, my brother,\" rejoined Leo gravely, \"come back In seven\nyears' time; you will find me here.\" Last\nyear the bishop came again.\nby company, will attend the mining convention which opens In Victoria on the\n26th Inst. At last night's public meeting\nona of the speakers suggested that the\ngovernment in the event of the abolition\nof the two per cent mineral tax, could\nprovide for the deficit by Increasing the\nroyalty on the Crow's Nest coal from Ave\nto ten cents per ton.

P. R. OFFER FOR FAST SERVICE\nFAVORABLY CONSIDERED. -\nMontreal, Feb. 20,\u2014The Star's London\ncable says: The Invasion of England began when eight Canadian farmers the\nvanguard of fifty, who will arrive to\npreach the gospel of Canadian settlement,\nlanded in Liverpool late last night. Two\nreached London this morning to work In\nthe south of Englund. One, u huge, bearded giant, ut once impressed Englishmen\nas a typical farmer, the other, a dapper\nlittle gentleman, Illustrates the possibility\nof Canadian farming, even for suburban\nLondoners. The dologates have already\nbegun telling the world how they originally left England without a penny and\nare now in comfortable circumstances.\n\"Twenty years ago,\" said the bearded\ngiant, \"I landed In Canada with all my\nbelongings wrapped up in a red pocket\nhandkerchief, Last year my wheat crop\nbrought mo over ten thousand dollars.\"\nThe delegates point out that not farmers\nalone are required but all who are willing\nto work on the land will find Canada a\nsource of fortune In the end. This delegation Is bound to greatly assist the movement of British emigrants to Canada,\nRecent circumstances accentuate the\nconviction that the Canadian Pacific railway offer alone, among those before the\ngovernment at Ottawa, holds out prospect\nof tho service necessary. The high quality\nof this offer Is admitted here even among\nthose with no possible Canadian Pacific\nleanings. As regards the. freight service\nthe position is still off stated tn a. cable of\nFebruary 18th. The Beaver steamers are\nbeing surveyed as soon as they return to\n\u25a0 British ports, with a view of ascertaining\ntheir market value, beyond which the\nCanadian Pacific will in no case go.\nIt is quite as likely as not that the surveys will end In no purchase, in view of\nwhich the Canadian Pacific railway Is\ndoubtless looking elsewhere.\nCharles D.

Tho emperor addressing himself to the theories of professor Delltsch,\none of thc controversialists, says Mint he\nthinks Delltsch made a great mistake in\napproaching the question of revelation In\na polemic spirit. The letter lays down\ntho following conclusions arrived at by\nemperor William: \"I believe In the one\nand only God. We may need a form in\norder to teach hla existence, especially for\nour children. This form has hitherto been\nthe old testament. The present version\nof this will ho positively and substantially\nmodified under the Influence of research\nthrough inscriptions and excavations.\nThat does not matter.

We suppose the real explanation of the putting off of the opening\nof the legislature is that the government have not yet made sure of a working majority. The ministers doubtless\nrealize that West Yale will return Mr.\nSemlin, and that means the curtailment\nof their boasted majority to the vanishing point. In the month that will elapse\nbetween the West Yale election and tbe\nnew' date set for the opening of the\nhouse they may find means of persuading some of the doubtful members of one\nor other of the several opposition factions to come over to their side.\nWhilst the ministers are thus playing\nfor time the interests of the province\nare being sacrificed. If outside confidence in British Columbia is to be restored a government with an assured majority must be in control. It does not\ngreatly matter to the outsider how that\ngovernment is made up so long as there\nis assurance of stability. For our part,\nwhilst we hope that the next government will be liberal, we would gladly\nwelcome a straight tory administration\nin preference to the present aggregation\nprovided it had a definite policy and was\nprepared to carry on the business of the\ncountry in a businesslike way.\nIf, when the legislature does meet in\nApril, the government should be defeated\nthe general elections cannot take place\nuntil well on in August. A poor prospect for any railway work being undertaken this year, or of any legislation\nbeing enacted in time to be of any\nimmediate service.\nRECOGNITION OF THE UNION.\nA sworn statement of the average\nearnings of the miners employed at the\nCrow's Nest Pass Coal company's mines\nIs published elsewhere in this issue.\nThe statement, though in many particulars inconclusive, warrants the assumption that there is ndt a great deal to\ncomplain of in so far as wages are concerned at these mines. The cause of the\npresent strike must be sought for in\nsome othor direction, and from all we\ncan learn tbe explanation will probably\nbe found in the fact that* the general\nmanager is unwilling to give the union\nthe measure of recognition it demands.\nIf this be a correct diagnosis of the\ncase we would respectfully submit to\nMr. Tonkin the advisability of reconsidering his position.\nNo single corporation In Canada is\npowerful enough to resist the spread of\ntrades unionism, and for that matter,\nneither is any combination of corporations. This is bo obvious a fact that the\nwonder is that any ono would entertain\na contrary opinion. The right of wage\nearners to organize is universally recognized, and, generally speaking, approved\nby their employers. This does not mean\nthat the demands made by organized\nlabor aro always fair, just, or reason\nable. The exactions of organized capital are not Infrequently unfair, unjust\nand unreasonable. But In the same\nmanner that the right of capitalists to\ncombine for the furtherance of commercial undertakings is conceded, so\nshould be the right of wage earners to\nunite for mutual advantage.\nIn the case of the strike at the Crow's\nNest Pass Coal company's mines the\ndemands of the men, other than that of\nthe recognition of their union, may be\nunreasonable. But it \u00bb manifest that\nif an amicable settlement is to be\nspeedily reached a condition precedent\nmust be the recognition of the union.\nEven supposing a settlement were\nreached on this occasion after a long and\ncostly lock-out the difficulty would arise\nagain, and the trouble would be renewed.\nThe part of wisdom it appears to us is\nfor the general manager to frankly\nacknowledge the union, discuss with its\nrepresentatives the other points at issue,\nand failing an amicable adjustment refer\nall disputed matters to arbitration.\nThe report of the royal commission\nappointed to consider the question of\nfood supplies for Great Britain in case\nof trouble, tflat in case of war the de*-\npendency of the country on the United\nStates for its food would result in famine\nprices for bread, should have a wholesome effect In prompting the home\npeople to turn their attention to the\nseveral parts of the empire capable of\nproducing all needed supplies. We have\nnot to go far afield to find an area capable of producing nearly, if not absolutely, all the wheat required by Great\nBritain. In the Northwest Territories\nalone ithe wheat growing areas can be\nmade to yield all the grain and bread\nstuffs wanted, and in dairy produce\nand beef a great part of the demand\ncould be met from the dominion. With\nthe construction of additional railways\nnew and more extensive tracts of land\nwill be brought under cultivation, and It\nis pleasing to know that British Columbia Is not lacking in large tracts of\narable land second to none in point of\nfertility and climatic conditions. But in\norder to bring these lands into play\nsettlors must come and if we want settlers we must seek for them and not\nleave it to time and chance to get what\nfew may drift in our direction. There\nis not at the present time one solitary\nsystematic effort being made by either\ngovernment or railway company to attract immigrants to this province. That\nthe immigration department is doing\nsome work Ib not questioned, but it Is\nbadly directed, is lacking in force and\nsystem and naturally falls to produce the\nsought for result\nTHE GREAT HEWETT COMING.\nThe Great Hewett received a large attendance at Larson's opera house, North\nYakima, Wasn., the other night. Tho\npublic ever alert for the chance of receiving a full equivalent for their money\nwore not slow to appreciate the good things\nthere. The opening act \"Bessie's Burglar,\" proved beyond doubt that Baby Ed-\nwlna is a wonderful child. She won the\nhearts of every one and made a complete\ntriumph. The situations were not overdrawn and the self control of this little\nartist was particularly Impressive throughout. Mr. Hewett as the burglar who robs\nhis own child's house and has fallen from\ngrace through drink was good. Thero was\ndignity and power In the impersonation\nand the role waa Invested throughout with\na distinction that stamped Its portrayal\nos line art Indeed. Mrs. Mary Hewett the\ndeserted wife was Intensely dramatic, thc\nmeeting between husband and wlfo was\nIn many respects a nappy medium for\ntho exploitation of Mrs, Hewetfs powers\nas an emotional actress. The magic by\ntho Great Hewett was meritorious throughout. Tho new box trick containing 7\nboxes, a ball of yarn inside of the seventh\nbox, inside of which was a 50 cent piece\nmarked by a person In the audience\ncaused many comments. The hlndoo\nflower trick, the dice box, thc new egg\nbng and others were all appreciated. The\nmind reading or wireless telephone by\nlady Zetta proved a novel part of the performance. The rope tying of Zotta was\na legitimate piece of work as she was\ntied by a commltteo selected from the\naudience, after doing several astonishing\nfeats which was a surprise to the audience\nreleased herself In 30 seconds, showing\nthe some rope .she was tied with.

During these months, and while Ithe schedule was under advisement\nit was current information that the local union had instructed the men not to\nover-exert themselves, that Is, to hold themselves down to a certain amount of\nwork daily, until the schedule was filially approved.\nThe schedule as proposed, with several minor amendments, was Anally approved of by a committee of eight men from the several mines, who met with\ngeneral manager Tonkin and general superintendent Stockett at Morrissey In\nJanuary. The schedule was then printed and posted at the mines.\nThe above statements of earnings of\nthe miners employed In the coal mines\nof the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company,\ncovering a period of flvo mouths, are\ncontained in a sworn declaration made\nby John H. Tonkin, general manager of\nthe company at Fernie, and Thomas R.\nStockett, Jr., general superintendent of\nthe company, before H. W. Herchmer,\na commissioner for taking affidavits for\nuse In the supreme court of British Columbia.\nOn the surface these statements would\nindicate that the question of wages is\nnot tho chief Issue in thc present strike.\nIt Is difficult, though, to make any really\nsatisfactory deductions from these statements, save that a considerable proportion of the miners earn very good\nwages. At the Coal Creek mines, for instance, in January, 31 per cent of the\nmen earned more than $100. But the\nquestion naturally arises, what were the\nearnings of the remaining 69 per cent?\nMoreover It will bo noted that with the\nexception of the month of December In\nthe period under review, there has been\na steady decrease in the percentage of\nmen who have earned moro than $100\nper month. Taking the average net\nearnings per shift it appears that 70 per\ncent of the miners earned not less than\n$4, while the earnings of the remaining\n30 per cent did not go below $3. But\nhere again thero Is an absence of detail that prevents a definite conclusion\nbeing drawn. Whilst the shift earnings\nthroughout were good, it Ib not shown\nhow many shifts the men averaged. If\nthey averaged 25 per month their total\nearnings would compare favorably with\nthe wages earned elsewhere for similar\nwork, but If even at $6 or $6 a shift the\nmen only put In two or three shifts a\nweek, their total earnings would not be\nsuch as to permit of a decent standard\nof living.\nAt the Michel mines the average earning per shift was slightly higher than\nat ithe Coal Creek mines, and the percentage of men whose net earnings exceeded $100 per month Is considerably\ngreater.\nAt the Morrissey mines the average\nnet earnings per shift Ib shown to he\nabout the same as at the other mines,\nthough at the No. 4 mine (there is a\ngreater discrepancy shown between the\nhighest and lowest net earnings. The\npercentage of men who earned more than\n$100 per month Is greater than at the\nCoal Creek mines, and considerably less\nthan at the Michel mines.\nAs In Ithe case of the Coal Creek\nminers' earnings, It Is impossible to\nmake any satisfactory deductions from\nthe statements of average shift or\nmonthly earnings at thc Michel and\nMorrissey mines, the particulars being\nlacking, which alone would enable a\ncorrect estimate of the actual earnings\nof the men to be made.\nHowever, there Is sufficient data available In the foregoing sworn statements\nto justify the Inference that on the\nwhole the rate of pay at the Crow's\nNest Pass Coal company's mines Ib satisfactory, and In some Instances exceptionally high. This being the case It Is\nobvious thnt the present strike Is due to\ncauses other than dissatisfaction with\nI the wage scale. But here again we are\nconfronted with the fact, that the figures\ngiven have reference only to the scale In\nforce up to the end of January. There\nmay have beon changes since, though\nthe note to the Morrissey statement\nwould Indicate that the schedule In force\nTHE OAILV NEWS, NELSON, B. C\u201e 8ATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21,1003.\nIn January had been approved by the\nmen and still prevailed.\nSo far as can be learned, recognition\nof the union is the real cause of dispute\nbetween the management and the men.\nThere may be minor difficulties, but the\nchief point at issue appears to be manager Tonkin's refusal to recognize the\nunion.\nWOMEN, WHY SUFFER?\nPERMANENTLY BANISHES NERVOUSNESS AND THE MANY FEMALE\nWEAKNESSES THAT AFFLICT\nWOMEN YOUNG\nAND OLD.\nNervous disorders and diseases are on\nthe Increase, und women of all ages are\nsufferers. Digestion gives out, there are\npains In the head, the tongue Is coated,\ntho muscles ache, there la constipation,\nheart palpitation, gloomy fears oppress\ncontinually, and sleep Is broken and disturbed. The only reliable remedy that\nmedical science hns given to women for\ntheir emancipation from suffering and\nweakness is Paine's Celery Compound,\nnow so largely presctbed by physicians\nwith the happiest results. In critical cases\nPaine's Celery Compound has saved life\nand restored health when all other medicines proved failures. Jessie M. Ross,\nQuyon, Que., who found Paine's Celery\nCompound to bo \"woman's best friend,\"\nwrites as follows:\n\"It affords me great pleasure to testify\nto the great good that Paine's Celery\nCompound has done for me. I was completely rundown In health and a victim of\nfemale weakness, nnd after using three\nbottles of your wonderful medicine I wns\ncompletely cured.

Think of William Mackenzie\nteaching a class of wayward scholars\nhow to wrestle with the mysteries of\ncat, rat, mat. Think also of Hon. Joseph\nMartin gently breaking the aad news\nthat there is no royal road to learning.\nWhat a difference in the history of\nthis country if the Dr. Parkin scale\nof pay kept William Mackenzie and\nJoseph Martin In the teaching profession! Martin, the creator of the Manitoba school question, the destroyer of\nthe conservative government, might\nhave been the honored head of a high\nschool. William Mackenzie, Instead of\nhaving a grateful country build railways\nfor his benefit at Its own expense, might\nhave been the principal of the Chatham\npublio school, coming down to Toronto\nat Easter time to read a paper on school\nroom etiquette.\nSpeeches will not give the teachers of\nCanada higher pay. The tendencies of\nsalaries la upwards, but there is still\na tremendous difference between what\nthe best teacher gets and what he is\nworth. Dr. Parkin has spoken generous\nwords on behalf of underpaid men, and\nthe scarcity of teachers may operate on\nthe self-interest of the Canadian people. But the torles, who wish that\nJoseph Martin had been teaching school\ninstead of putting them out of office,\nand tho patriots who regret that Wm.\nMackenzie forsook the paths of knowledge for the pursuit of subsidies, will\nnever cease to mourn that Dr. Parkin\ndid not have salaries raised in time\nto keep Martin and Mackenzie In the\nranks of the teaching profession.\nDelicious and Strengthening\nMalt Breakfast Food\nYOU MUST USE IT TO\nAPPRECIATE IT.\nTo thoroughly nppreciute tho many virtues and advantages of nature's cereal\npreparation, Malt Breakfast Food, you\nshould buy a package from your grocer\nand use It at tomorrow's breakfast.

His\ncries for assistance brought H. Ferland\nto the scene, who pushed a light plank\nto the immersed and thoroughly frightened man.

A\nlarge number of persons made their way\ndown to the lake about 8.30, when the\nsearchlight from the Kaslo was turned\non, splendidly lighting up the section\njust west of the city wharf, and for\nabout two hours the crowd enjoyed the\nsomewhat novel experience In Nelson of\nan open air band concert, with skating\nby electric light thrown ln.\nFRIEL'S FLOUR MILL.\nNo Nearer Consummation \u2014 Another\nModest Request for Assistance.\nA special meeting of the city council\nwas held last evening to consider proposals regarding the erection of a Hour\nmill, which were to have been made by\nRobert Robb, an American capitalist. A\ncouple of hours before the meeting, however, the mayor received a letter from\nMr. Robb, in which he stated that he\nhad been called east on business, and so\nwould be unable lo be present. Mayor\nRose explained the circumstances that\nled to his calling the meeting, and Mr.\nRobb's letter was read to the council. In\nit he stated that the site that had been\nselected by Mr. Frlel and on which the\nfoundations had been erected, was\nutterly useless for his purpose, as there\nwould be too long a period when no\nwater would be obtainable for power\npurposes. He was favorably impressed\nwith the city as a site for a flour mill\nand as soon as the corporation was in a\nposition to sell power he would make a\nproposition, or if the city could sell\nwater from the pipe line he would do so.\nHe had noticed a suitable place for a\nbuilding, and If able to make terms regarding power he wns prepared to spend\n140,000 on the Installation of a mill. Mr.\nFrlel had asked him $1,000 for the\nfoundation and site on Cottonwood creek\nbut he would not consider this.\nThere was also a letter from Mr. Frlel\nto the council which was read. In this\nMr. Frlel asked that the council extend\nhis franchise till January, 1904, as he\nwas not In a position at present to go\nahead with the mill. If this was done\nhe would havo part of tho flume and the\ndam built before high water sets in, but\nwould not do so unless he bad some\nassurance that what he had already done\nwould not be taken away. He also\nstated that he would return to the city*\nabout Tuesday to learn what action the\ncouncil proposed taking. In a postscript\nhe gavo as his opinion that Mr. Robb\nwould not decide regarding Ihe mill till\nafter his trip east\nAlderman Selous did not see the advisability of continuing the franchise. Of\ncourse If Mr. Frlel was really prepared\nto carry out the undertaking, it was ail\nright, but ho would like to see something definite done. The city had already\nbeen to some expense in the matter.\nAlderman Irving agreed with alderman SelouB, and moved, seconded by\nalderman Hamilton, that the letters be\nreceived and filed.\n8ome Informal discussion followed\nafter the passing of the motion, the general opinion of the council being that if\nMr. Frlel went ahead with the mill it\nwould not be policy for the council to\ninterfere, but at the same time It would\nnot be wise to vote him an extension of\ntime till he showed some definite intention of carrying out his original agreement.\nMCPHERSON'S\nBARGAINS\nTODAY\nDon't trouble to ask yourself how we ar(\nable to sell Groceries at sucli low prices,\nbut get your share before this special\nsale Is over.
