Old Man Prohibition passed\nin his cheeks at midnight Tuesday,\nwhen all the bars, closed their doors\nand the reign of tlie Moderation Act\nbegan. We say legally, because as a\nmatter of faot this district at present\nIs what the most ardent of Prohibitionists would call splendidly \"bone\ndry!\" The only thing that can be obtained with a kick In It is a $5 permit!\nA permit to buy but no place to bu>\nat. And no less than three of these\npermits have already been sold nt the\nCourt House!\nFor the city that gave the largest\npercentage vote' against Prohibition\ntills is some record.\nNo one in this district seems to have\nany authority to supply those desiring\nliquor. Mr. Menzies informed us yesterday that it is the intention of the\nLiquor Control Board to open n store\nat Courtenay In the near future, but\nat present no store has been located.\nBeer may be sold from the local brewery when the ollicials get around to\ntlie requirements of this district.\nThe store at Courtenay will be found\ntotally inadequate to meet the needs\nof the large number of residents in\nthis widely-scattered district, and undoubtedly more stores will have to be\nopened up. Mr. Menzies advocated\nstores in seven locations in the Comox\nelectoral district, one at Cumberland,\nat Union Bay, Courtenay, Campbell\nRiver, and at points further north.\nThe probable facts of the case arc\nthat tho Liquor Hoard has not completed its preparations for supplying\nliquor, except in the larger cities, and\nIt may bo some time before liquor will\nbe available here, unless tho Board\ninstalls some temporary arrangement\niu the meantime.\nOpen-Air Concert\nSaturday Night\nCity Band Will Render a Programme on the Band Stand,\nCommencing at Eight\nThe Cumberland City Band will give\nan open-air concert on the Band Stand,\nnext to City Hall, on Saturday evening, commencing at 8 o'clock,\nThe Band is practising several I lines\na week now in preparation for Ihe\nband contest at Ladysmith on July 2.\nThe following is the programme to\nbe rendered under the baton Mr, C,\nC.

He\nsaid If Mr. Douglas would kill tho\nunlmal he would share It 50-50 wilh\nhim. However, this generous offer\ncould not be taken advantage of as\nthe bear, probably as surprised as tlie\nfishermen, beat a hasty retreat.\nJames Webster\nDied Wednesday\nHad Been a Hesidont of Cumberland lor Thirty Years\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nFuneral on Sunday.\nDeath claimed another old-lime\nresident of Cumberland Wednesday\nnight, when Jaim'.s Webster passed to\nhis rest.\nDeceased, who was (IS yearn of age,\nhad been living in Cumberlaud for uu\nyears, and was well known and re-\nBpdbted, He had worked in the Canadian Collieries for many years.

Then came\nthis terse message from the United\nStates Consul at Gibraltar-oil January\n2, 1873:\n\"Tlie American brig .Marie Celeste,\nof New York, was brought into tliis\nport by the British barque Hei Gratia.\n\"Marie Celecte picked up on high seas\non December 5, abandoned. Brig in\nperfect condition, but was taken possession of by Admiralty Court as a\nderelict. Fate of crew unknown.\"\nCaptain Boyce of the Del Gratia hail\nan amazing story to tell. At noon on\nDecember 5 he came in sight ofc.tlie\nMarie Celeste. To his amazement, as\ntbey approached, they could not see a\nsoul on board. A boat was lowered\nand the captain and mate boarded the\nbrig.\nNot a sound greeted them. The uncanny silence was awesome. The\nbrig seemed a floating graveyard, a\nghost ship, the kind of phantom craft\nthey had read about Not a human\nbeing, dead or alive, could they find.\nNothing was wanting that would be\nneeded by such a vessel, except the\ncaptain and the crew. There had obviously been no mutiny, for there were\nno signs of a struggle; nor was it\npiracy, as tbe money-box had not been\ndisturbed and tho valuable cargo was\nuntouched\nStartling Disclosures.\n-A thorough search revealed some\nstartling disclosures. In the cabin a\nsewing-machine -was found with a\nthimble lying on its side on a comer\nof the machine, which prorcd that\nthere could have been no recent storm.\nThe article tlie woman had been sewing appeared to be a child's pinafore.\nThe woman had stopped sewing in thc\nmiddle of a sleeve.\nThe appearance of the table showed\nthat four persons Iiad risen from a\nhalf-eaten meal to leave the cabin for\never. The child had almost finished\nher porridge. In the mate's cabin\nwore found two watches on the table.\nIn tiie forecastle, too, pans on the\nstove contained vi breakfast ready\ncooked, showing that the sailors had\nbeen about to gather for thc morning\nmeal when they had gone over the\nside instead.\nRepresentatives of the United Stales\nIn all parts of the world were Instructed to watcli for the missing\ncrew, but not a single vessel reported\nhaving picked up tho Mario Celeste's\nIll-fated thirteen. What had happened\nto them? Many theories wore advanced, but it was not until 11113 thai\na clue to the mystery was discovered.\nHaving read tho story of the niys-\nstery In The Strand Magazine, Mr. A.\nHoward Llnl'ord. headmaster of Peterborough Lodge, Hampslead'S/ largest\npreparatory scliool\u00E2\u0080\u0094recalled the fact\nthat an old servant, Abel Fosdyk. had.\non his deathbed, committeed to his\ncharge a quantity of papers, amongst\nwhich he had said would be found the\nstory of the Marie Celeste.\nAn investigation of Fosdyk's\npapers and diary showed that Ihe facts\nhe gave coincided with the ollicial\nones, some of wblch had not up to\nthen not been made public.\nFosdyk related how he hail shipped\non liUnrd the Marie Celeste, Intending\nthat it should be his last voyage, For\na few days everything went well, Then\nterrible storms were encountered. Tbo\ncaptain did not spare himself, and\nseemed to be constantly on deck. Ills\nwife and the mtae implored liim to\ntake more rest, but he would nol\nlisten to them.\nIs This the Solution!\nThe strain began to affect his\nnerves, and to add to bis troubles his\nwife fell ill and became a shadow of\nber former self. The climax was\nreached when the little girl, who was\nabout seven years of age, walked along\nthe bowsplt one day without holding\non to anything, and was ln peril of\nfalling into the sea.\nLuckily. Fosdyk was able to grasp\nher In the nick of time. The incident\nled to a barricade and small platform\nbeing erected, on which It would be\nquite safe for the little one to sit in\nfine weather.\nConstant worry seemed to affect the\ncaptain's mind. To make matters\nworse he sought a quarrel with the\nmate, accusing him of cowardice for\nnot saving a comrade who had fallen\ninto the sea.\nThe mate explained that he was\nunable to swim in his clothes, whereupon the captain, in a fit of temper,\ninsisted on swimming round the ship\nfully clothed. His wife tried to dissuade him, but he was obstinate, and\ntwo of tiie crew offered to swim round\nwith him. The three dropped into the\nwater and rounded the stern, the remainder of tlie crew, inclding the captain's wife and daughter, crowding to\nthe child's quarter-deck in the bows.\nThe platform tipped up, tore away\nfrom its fastenings and precipitated\nthem all into tlie water. When Fosdyk came to the surface, he managed\nlo struggle on to Ihe broken platform.\nHe could see no signs of the others.\nThey had beeu drowned or devoured\nby the sharks. To Ills honor lie\nfound il impossible to get on board Ibe\nbrig again, for no rope or chain hung\ndown. Ultlmatoly be was rescued.\nAbel l'*osilyk's amazing story seems\nIn provide Uie most probable solution\nof the mystery.\nMACKEREL ALWAYS\nSWIM LEFT TO RKiHT\nBRIGHTON-, Bug.- Tho question\nwhy Uie mackerel in the aquarium\nalways swim from IcU to right and\nnever vary the direction of their endless journey has puzzled many, and\neven when Un* question was recently\nasked at a meeting of tbe Sussex Sea\nFisheries committee, ,uo one was able\nlo supply tbe information. At a later\nmeeting of the committee tlie clerk\noffered a solution of the question.\nHe said he had received a letter\nfrom Mrs. Gilbert, of Greencnslle, Pa\u00E2\u0080\u009E\nwho said she had read an article in\nan American paper about this mystery. She was of the opinion that the\nreason for the one-way swimming of\nthe mackerel was that tbey swam in\nharmony with nature, in other words\nwith the motion of the earth.\n**\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0>.

It lias been embellished highly in tbe screen version by tlie inclusion ot a number of incidents that appear in neither the novel or the play,\nwith the result that the production\nhas a far greater comedy value than\neither of its forerunners. These additions are of such a character that\nonly one living comedian can put\nacross\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Fatty\" Arbuckle.\nIt Is the story of Monte Brewster\nwho is left fatherless at the tender\nage of two years. \"Fatty\" permits no\nsubstitute to do the hard work in his\nplays, and this is no exception. He\nappears in person as the infant.\nHis two grandfathers quarrel as to\nbow the boy, a promising and lusty\nyoungster, should be brought up, so\nthat, when he is five years of age, his\nmother's patience is exhausted, and\nsbe tells the grandfathers that she\nwlll bring up her child In ber own\nway, Just as she pleases, without interference from either of them. Monte\nhimself, too young to realize the import of his mother's decision, plays\nartlessly with the usual toys of the\nordinary five-year-old child, and little reckons what the future has iu\nstore for him. Tile grandfathers give\nit up as a bad job and wasli their bands\nof responsibility for his up-bringing\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nall of wliclli is a good thing tor the\nyoungster.\nWhen he is twenty-five Monte (still\n\"Fatty\" himself) who is now an\norphan, struggles along on a slim\nsalary as a clerk in a steamship\noffice.\nAfter a series of incidents in which\nhis poverty is accentuated, and his efforts to make both ends meet take on\nan extremely humorous aspect to tbe\naudience, it comes about that Grandfather Brewster offers to make a gentleman of his grandson, and presents\nhim with a million dollars.\nThe other grandfather makes a\ncounter proposition to Monte, to take\nhim into his business as an active\npartner, and give him live million\ndollars, if at tbe end of the year he is\nabsolutely broke. How he carries out\nthis compact, spends tlie million and\nexperiences the strangest tricks of\nFate, rounds out the story in an hour\nand a half of riotous laughter.\nwoman. She explains that her sister,\nan actress, has married Charles Porter and thut sho had uot told ber bus-\nbaud, fearing he might object to an\nactress in the family. It was Porter\nwho had wired Mrs. Ellis to come to\nNow York.\nBob, turning to Edna, asks what\nshe is doing there witli Patrick, Patrick again steps iu with the statement\ntbat he and Edna are married. Congratulations are passed and then lie\nconvinces Edna that the Bafest tiling\nto do under tlie circumstances is to\nget married. Edna Is the \"beautiful\nunknown\" witli whom Patrick had\nfallen in love iu the lirst place.\n\"DICE OF DESTINY\"\n\"SOONER OR LATER\"\nWoman Hater Thought He Had\nKidnapped Another Man's\nWife, and Gets His.\nWhen a man tries to affect a reconciliation between his pal and his- pal's\nwife, he usually lands in hot water,\neven though tbe scheme was proposed\nby his pal.\nThis is what happened to Patrick\nMurphy (Owen Moore) in \"Sooner or\nLater,\" which shows at the Ilo-llo on\nTuesday next.\nPatrick Murphy, a young attorney,\nrated a \"good catch,\" who had persistently avoided women, sees an unknown girl with whom he falls desperately in love. His friend, Bob\nEllis, enlists his aid to save the honoh\nof the Ellis family. Mrs. Ellis has\nleft her home in Fairhaven, Conn., to\nmeet a Mr. Porter in New York, and\nher husband thinks sbe is engaged in\na clandestine affair. Ellis commissions Patrick to And his wife and in\ndescribing her, Ellis convinces Patrick she is tlie beautiful girl with\nwhom he (Patrick) has fallen in love.\nPatrick goes to the Hotel Plaza at\nlunch time and finds tbe girl. Her\nname happens to be Edna Ellis, of\nFairhaven, New Jersey, and she agrees\nto accompany him when he tells her\nthat her presence at Fairhaven is re\nquired immediately. This wrong Ellis\ngirl soon discovers that Patrick is not\ntaking her home, but Is unable to leave\nthe automobile. She concludes Patrick is demented and decides to humor\nhim.\nArrived at Bob Ellis' home in Fairhaven, Conn., Patrick and Edna are\nvisited by Mrs. Hollander and her\ndaughter, who have met Bob Ellis in\nNew York. The Hollanders know that\nPatrick's companion is a friend of the\nEliises and are surprised to find her\nthere alone with Patrick. To explain\nthe embarrassing situation Patrick\ntells the Hollanders that he and Edna\nare married.\nBob arrives home and has scarcely\nhad time to discover the case of mistaken identity when in walks Mrs.\nEllis, accompanied by a man aud\nStarring H. B. Warner, The Best\nDressed Man in Films\u00E2\u0080\u0094The\nRomance of a Clever Crook\nOn this old world of ours wo are\nbut dice shaken by the band of Destiny. Destiny's throw predetermines\nour lives. It may cast us either in\nthe role of peasant or king, beggar or\nmillionaire, minister or thief.\nThe dice of Destiny shook Jimmy\nDoyle into the underworld. His profession, at which bis Augers wore so\nskillful, was tbat of a jewel thief.\nFate played queer tricks with the fortunes and misfortunes of Jimmy Doyle\nand Nancy Preston, tbe girl left iu his\ncharge by her father, whose dying\nwish was that sbe should never be\nallowed to get in the clutches of tbe\nlaw by playing tbe crook game.\nFrom the experience born of a life\nof crime, Bill Preston spoke to bis\ndaughter on his death-bed. \"There's\nonly one way to beat this crooked\ngame, Naucy. Keep out of it!\"\nOld Bill had kept ber out of the\ngame so far, but when he was gone,\nwould Dave aud Joe protect her? He\ndistrusted Dave because he had seen\niu his eyes a flame of passion. Joe\nwas greedy and treacherous. He would\nbetray a pal.\nJimmy Doyle was the only one to be\ntrusted\u00E2\u0080\u0094Jimmy was clean and played\nthe crook game \"straight.\" He had\nbeen like a brother to Nancy, and to\nliim Bill entrusted his most cherished\npossession.\nAs an ex-couvict, Jimmy was a\ntarget for the venom of the police and\ndetectives; as a crook who dropped\nhis old associates and led a straight\nlife, he won the enmity of his pals,\nwho double-crossed him.\nA red-blooded, brave-hearted story\nof adventure and romance is \"Dice of\nDestiny,\" which presents H.

The story, which\nwas adapted from a famous Spanish\nplay, tells of Don Julian and his beautiful girl-bride, Feodora. After their\nmarriage, Ernesto, a young writer,\ncomes to live with them, and the\nworld, with Don Alvarez as its spokesman, starts spreading evil stories\nabout Feodora and Ernesto. The result is a duel and a series of dramatic\nevents that result in the death of Don\nJulian and the final happiness of the\nyoung folks.\nTrue-to-life \"atmosphere\" in motion pictures is of prime importance.\nIt adds considerably to tbe enjoyment\nof tlie picture. That was why so many\nmen from the southern part of Europe\nhad a hand In the filming of \"The\nWorld and His Wife.\"\nThe scene of this picture is northern\nSpain. Now, northern Spain resembles in many parthlsucira\nbles in many particulars southern\nFrance and Northwestern Italy. So\nRobert G. Vignola, who is a northern\nItalian, was chosen to direct tlle picture and Al Liquori, a follow countryman, photographed it. No wonder they\nwere able to reproduce so accurately\ntbe dash and color of the Latin countries.\nGaston Glass, who plays the youthful hero, is a native of southern France\nand a godson of Sarah Bernhardt. And\nPedro de Cordoba, excellent ill a semi-\nheavy role, is from sunny Spain itself. To be sure, Alma Rubens, the\nheroine and featured player, is a San\nFranciscan, but she is of a warm,\ndusky type and in mantilla looks the\nideal Spanish maiden. \"The World\nand His Wife\" is a Paramount Artcraft picture.\nIt's an appealing story of modern\nSpain, full of color and passion.\nHelen Keller, the blind girl, was\nappearing at a New York theatre\nwhen thc picture \"Tlie Kid\" was run\nafter one of tiie regular performances.\nHer mother and her tutor sat on each\nside of hot* and by tappings of their\nlingers on her wrists kept her informed of tlie action and tlie sub-titles\nas tbey appeared on tlie screen. So\nskillful have they become lu tills\nmethod of communication that they\nwere able to keep Miss Keller abreast\nof tlie action of tiie picture, and her\nlaughs were spontaneous with those\nof the others in tlie small audience.\nRealism in his pictures, regardless\nof cost, is demanded by Cecil B. de\nMille, director of special feature productions for Paramount. One scene\nin \"The Affairs of Anntol.\" the last\npicture he has completed, was do-\nsigned by Paul tribe, the French artist, and into It went $30,OUO worth of\nfurnishings, among them the reproduction of a rare set of Louis XVI.\nchairs. Yet, at tbe end of the scene,\nWallace Reid, tbe leading man, was\nrequired to smash everything in the\nplace. Not a stick of furniture remained in Its original shape when the\nfilming of tbe scene was complete.\nJustine Johnstone announces that\nshe will become a picture producer as\nwell as a player for no less a, purpose\nthan \"to defend her sex against the\nfalse impressions wliieh are being\naroused by present-day motion pictures.\" Her first production will be\ncalled \"Fifth Avenue,\" and will set\nforth \"the development of women in\nsocial and civic life during the last\nquarter of a century, with the growth\nof New York's famous street as a\nsymbol.\"\nD.

At this\nrate the present cost of sugar only\nworks out at about two cents a quart\njar. The recipe is as follows:\nFill 6 quart jars with fresh fruit\ncarefully but firmly packed in layers.\nPrepare a syrup by adding 1 lb. of\nsugar to 12 cups of water, or a ratio\nof 1 of sugar to 6 of water.\nBoil the syrup for 15 minutes and\nallow it to cool; pour it over the fruit\nto within one-half inch of top of jar.\nSecure the cover in the usual way.\nPlace the jars In a boiler In which\na board should be placed to prevent\njars coming In too close touch with\nthe stove\". Fill the boiler with cold\nwater up to neck of jars and allow to\ncome to tlie boiling point. Berries\nmay be removed then but will not hurt\nlo remain 10 minutes. Stone and other\niruits should be boiled 20 minutes be\niore removing.\nSeal jars as soon as removed, and\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ifter cooling store in a cool palce.\nFruit put up ill tills way requires no\nfurther application of sugar when\nserving and the fruit retains its nat-\niral flavor.\nMASONS ATTENDED\nTHE ANGLICAN CHURCH\nOfficers and members of Cumberland Lodge No. 20, A.
