Among them\nand manacled, were Joe Angelo,\nthe Italion, international organizer of the United Mine Workers\nof America and Ben Dominic,\nanother union offical, J. W. Place\nL.A., also walked in the\nsolemn procession.\nIt was at noon today that Mr.\nJustice Morrison, practically concluded the last case of the special assizes when he sentenced\nsome of the men to varying terms\nof imprisonment, released others\non suspended sentence, and\nallowed still others to go free,\nthe terms they have already\nserved in jail standing as their\nsentences.\nThe courtroom was crowded to\ncapacity. The sixty odd accused,\nfor these men from the jail were\njoined by others who had been\nout on bail, filled the entire space\nusually occupied by lawyers, jurors and courtroom attendants.\nThose who had been out on bail\nfilled long rows of seats on the\njudges right. The jail contingent\non his left. Dominic and Angelo\nwere placed just in front of the\nprisoners dock. Counsels present\nwere Mr. Dunbar Taylor and Mr.\nT. B. Shoebotham for the crown.\nMr. Arthur Leighton and Mr. I.I.\nRubinowitz for the accused.\nPresident Robert Foster, of the\nNanaimo local of the U. M. W.\nA., was seated beside the defence\nlawyers.\nJoe Angelo, who had been\nguilty on six counts, was the\nfirst man asked to stand up.\nI am not guilty of the\ncharges and I have a wife and\nfour children\" he said with a\nbreak in his voice, when his lord\nship asked him what he had to\nsay.\nMuch Damage Resulted.\nSpeaking for the prisoner, Mr.\nLieghton besought clemency on\nthe ground that he was an alien\nand a married man. He said that\nhe had been brought to British\nColumbia as an interpreter for\nthe purpose of inducing his\nfellow workmen to join the\nunion, and that anything he had\ndone had been a legitimate endeavor to better conditions.\n\"Yours is a very grave\noffence,\" said the judge, \"and\nthere are very few extenuating\ncircumstances. You are a member of a powerful organization,\nand no doubt your family will be\ntaken care of. The fact that you\nare an alien is hardly a circumstance in your favor. Your\nappearance here synchronized\nwith the outbreak. Your influence led these other men to do\nwhat they have been found\nguilty of. Whether you have been\na tool or not of others, 1 have my\nown view as to that.\"\nThe judge commented upon the\nfact that a great deal of damage\nhad resulted from the offences\nthat Angelo had been accused of.\nHe sentenced him to four years\nin the penitentiary.\nA. Wardell of Nanaimo put\nforward the extenuating circumstances that he had served five\nmonths and had an aged mother.\nHe assured the judge that then\nwould be no recurrence of thc\noffence for which he was convicted if he were allowed out or,\nsuspended sentence. This his\nlordship consented to.\nGoie was also allowed out oi\nsuspended sentence, Mr. Justio\nMorrison remarking that the fact\nthat his wife had made an appeal\non his behalf was the reason foi\nthe clemency extended to him.\nSpeaking on behalf of Mr.\nPlace-M.L.A., Mr. Rubinowitz\nurged that as good as being let\nout on suspended sentence, His\naccused be sentenced to the tei i\nof imprisnonment, correspond^*\nto the time that he had alreadj\nspent in jail. He pointed out tht\nin this way the right of Mi\nPlace to sit in the Legislatur\nwould not be imperilled, Unde\nthe consituation and provincitt\nFORESTRY.\nProfessor E. B. Fernow, the\nprominent authority on Forestry,\nwriting in last issue of the\n\"Forestry Quarterly\" on the\nTimber Royalty Bill says that\nwith ita enactment the Province\nof British Columbia takes the lead\nin modern and efficient timber\nland administration/\nProfessor Fernow said: \"Avery\nimportant and very sane readjustment of royalties for timder\nlicences has been embodied in the\nBill by the British Columbia\nMinister of Lands, Tha Hon.\nWilliam R Ross. The Minister of\nLands, who was responsible for\nthe establishment two yearB ago\nof an efficient Forest Service,\nhas boldly taken hold of the situation and solved the problem of\nequitable dealing in a most practical manner.\"\n\"It gives stability to the lumber business for forty yeara without fear of disturbances, and,\nwhile we miss provisions for improved forestry practice, at least\nthe finanical side of the gover-\nment interest is better taken care\nof, and changes to introduce\nforestry methods are foreshadowed.\"\n\"With this legislation British\nColumbia takes the lead in Canada\nin modern and efficient timber\nland administration, which, by\npassing into hands of a Forest\nService promises a final forest\nmanagment for the future.\"\nNO SETTLEMENT REACHED\nChicago, March 24\u00E2\u0080\u0094The conference which has been in progress\nhere for several days between\nofficers of the Unitied Mine\nWorkers of America and bituminous coal operator! of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois Indiana ended\nin no settlemeut being reached.\nAlthough the present wage scale\nends at the of the week officials\nof the U.

M,\nW. of A.\nDr. Geo. K. McNaughton's auto\nhas left the repair shop polished\nup giving it a new appearance.\ndoubt as to the legality of his\nposition if he were out on suspended sentence.\nMr. Justice Morrison remarked\nchat the plea of the counsel had\niltered his proposal. He said that\nhe attorney general would be the\nast man to desire that the seat\n>f a colleague should be vacated\nthrough a technicality. His lord-\nihip agreed to the request, and\naddressing Mr. Place to use his\nnfluence to preserve order in\n'uture.\nJ.

T. Searle provided an\nevening's entertainment of a clasa\nonly too rare in Cumberland. The\nexceedingly good work accomplished with the twentyone voices\nassembled is a revelation of what\nmight be done with a little more\nenthusiasm on the part of the\npublic and breeds the hope that\nthose original members of the\nsociety who dropped by the way\nduring the long and tryirg process of trying during the winter\nwill find their way back to the\norganization.\nWhere every number of the\nprogram maintained such a high\nstanard of merit it is difficult to\ndiscriminate, but some numbers\nseemed to deserved especial mention. We are not accustomed to\nattending High Mass and confess\nto being a little rusty on our\nLatin, but we could at least appreciate the appropriateness and\ndignity of the opening \"Ecce\nQuam Bonum.\" \"The March of\nthe Men of Harlech\" was given\nwith a good spirit, and had it\ncome a little later when the audience had awaked to the fact that\nthey were receiving a real musical\ntreat, and the choristers themselves had recovered from the\nchill of the empty front seats, it\nwould certainly have received an\nencore. \" The Victors' Return\"\nwas also a fine piece of tone\ncoloring well rendered. Mr. J.\nSpears is always sure of a cordial reception and in reponse to\nhis \"Just a Wearying for You\"\nreceived the only bouquet of the\nevening. We could not see of\nwhat flowers the bouquet was\ncomposed, as Mr. Spears is very\nmodest 'about such honors, but\nwe think it was made up mostly\nof local bloort. The quartette \"A\nNocturne\" by Messrs Edwards,\nDarling, Mumford and;McLorie\nwas well receved. \"By Babylon's\nWave\" we thought one of tho\nfinest numbers of the evening\nand the fact that it did not receive an encore does not commend particularly to us the\nmusical discrimination\naudience. Mendelssohns\ning Song'\nof the\n\"Hunt-\nwas also excellent.\n\"The Owl and the Pussy Cat\"\nwas the only humorous number\nof the evening and the hearty\nencore it received, as well as the\nevident appreciation of the singers in rendering it, indicated that\na little more in the same line\nwould have served as a relish for\nthe more serious numbers, \"The\nLost Chord\" received the encore\nwhich it richly merited. Mr. Mc\naLorie's solo work in this number\nleft the hope with some that we\nmight hear him in solo numbers-\nMr. Edward's organ solos were\nenthusiastically received, the\nfirs'., number being particularly\nfine. Miss Strang's al o and Miss\nCopp in the sopranos were strong\nfeatures of the chorus work.\nWe are glad to hear thatjt\nthe close of the entetainmehTtne\nmembers of the society presented\ntheir leader, Mr. E. T. Sear).-;\nwith a diamond pin as an ewjsf'-\nion of their appreciation wTfis\nefficient leadership. His untiring\nenergy, his musical enthusiasm\nand unfailing courtesy are coupled with a musical taste and\ntraining which make him a leader whom Cumberland delights, to\nhonor.

Then\nhe closed tho door, and stumbling to\nthe chair by the fireplace where sho\n* ad sat. he kn**lt down and buried his\nface in his bands.\nCHAPTER .XIX\nHetherlngton not only felt a man,\nbut he rclt as If he were young\nman again. And ho found himself\nwondering almost light-heartedly what\nMs rcai age was. A load had beet\nremoved from his mind; tho terrible\nsense of oppression which had followed lilm everywhere was now gone.\nFor some time after Peggy Mehon\nwas gone, he marveled at himself, or\nrather at the change which had been\nwrought.\nHe had made up his mind to an operation; he knew without any hesitation that li. would be a dangerous oue.\nHe would go ''own into tho shadow of\ndeath; yet fear which had always dogged hlB footsteps, was now absent. And\nho knew at last the miracle which had\nhappened; he was no longer alone!\nJutt one person In tho world knew\nlilm.

It was strange lie had\nnever thought of that before! At tho\ntime, Murray had comment! J on the\nsevere blow he bad received, its shape\nand position. Then there was thi\ncurious fac' of his chauffeur lying\nsome distance from the car dead\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand tbe motor-car itself practically\nuninjured. It was madness to speculate; lt was hopeless to think! But\nhe was only human, and thoughts now\nrefused to b* controlled.

But Saluzo might have\ncome down by the night ma:i, which\nafter stopping nearly everywhere, arrived the next morning atout seven\no'clock.

Throughout the labour disputes the\n\"News\" has tried hard to have no convictions, and has\nsucceeded admirably in riding the fence, running with the\nhare and hunting with the hounds, and otherwise currying\nfavour by toadying to both sides indiscriminately. We can\nleave it to the public as to which is the greater \"toady.\"\nExplanatory.\nWe are glad to learn from the remarks of last week's\n\" News \" that the paragraph to which we referred in our\neditorial columns two weeks ago as having originally\nappeared in the \" News,\" was an entirely hypothetical one\nand without reference to any of our purely local Conservative\nAssociations. This was the only point we desired to bring\nout, although it is interesting to note en passant that, if\nprodded sufficiently, the \"News\" will occasionally show a\nspark of vitality. However, we should not have attached\nany importance to the matter had the paragraph in question\nnot been copied in the Courtenay \"Review\" with the\nunwarranted insinuation that it had a special and local\napplication to Cumberland.\nHealth Officers Report and Our Milk\nSupply.\nAt the request of many of our citizens we are again\nprompted to dwell upon the report of our Health Officer\nand his suggestions regarding the milk supply of Cumberland. Some six weeks ago we ventured the opinion that his\nremarks regarding the inspection of the sources of our milk\nsupply, were well worthy of special attention and we\nexpressed a hope that his report would not be pigeonholed\nas so many of its predecessors have been. Although the\nreport was referred to the Health Committee we have waited\nin vain for further news of it and some of our subrcribers\nhave expressed their fears that nothing more would be\nheard of it. Coming in the nature of an impressive warning\nfrom the Health Officer, we have no hesitation in stating\nthat the Council will fall short in their duty to the public if\nthey allow this matter to be overlooked. It is undeniably a\nquestion of very grave importance. The investigations of\nthe British Royal Commission show that fully 25 per cent,\nof all tuberculosis cases among human beings, can be attributed directly to the use of the milk or flesh of cattle affected\nwith tuberculous ailments. This statement is entirely borne\nout by the findings of the German Imperial Bovine Tuberculosis Commission, and in view of the startling reports of\nthese eminent bodies, we cannot afford to be indifferent to\nlhe recommendations and warnings of our Health Officer on\nthis important matter.\nThe Vancouver Province says:\n\" Good health is, after all, essential to prosperity.\nIt is time the whole community recognized that the\ndeath rate from tuberculosis is entirely dependent on\nthe money spent upon it, and that with proper precautions and handling there is absolutely no need for\ntuberculosis in British Columbia being spread as it is\ntoday.\"\nWe in this district have happily been comparatively\nfree from the ravages of the terrible \"white plague\" but our\npast immunity is no guarantee of the present or the future,\nand in view of the warning we have received, not only from\nour Health Officer b\u00C2\u00BB.t from residents of Courtenay-whence\nthe bulk of our milk supply is derived\u00E2\u0080\u0094,we feel we should\nfail in our duty to the public if we condoned the shelving of\nthe Health Officer's report. On the contrary we desire to\narouse the public feeling in this matter until our Council is\nforce^to thoroughly and efficiently carry out the suggestions\nof Dr.. Hicks and we urge all citizens to make it a personal\nmatter. We are all concerned in it, all menaced by delay\nand failure in making the investigations suggested by the\ndoctor, and unfortunately it is too often true that indifference\non the part of the public leads to indifference on the part of\nthose to whom the public entrusts its destinies.\nPostal Record.\nThe remarkable efficient administration of the Post\nOffice Department under Hon. L. P. Peiletier is shown by\nthe annual report, just issued. Despite the opening of new\noffices, the extension of the service, the establishment of free\nrural mail and the increase of pay to letter carriers and\nemployees, there was a surplus during the past year of no\nless than $1,777,671. This is a record.\nPost office statistics are generally regarded as a good\nindex of commerical development, and these figures show\nthat general conditions are far better than one would\nimagine from Liberal croakings. There was an increase in\nmail matter carried of 12 per cent. The total revenue for\nthe year was $12,060,476.\nFree rural mail delivery, which, under the Liberals, was\na mere election promise, during the past year has been\nwonderfully extended, and has proved remarkably popular.\nThere is a persistent clamour for it from all parts of the\ncountry, Up to November last 1,865 routes had been\nestablished. Since then the number has been materially\nincreased.\nMr. Peiletier has made a record as a progressive Postmaster-General. He has given Canada three great boons.\nThe first was cheaper cables, the second free rural delivery,\nand the third was the greatest-parcels post. The launching\nof parcels post alone will make him a big figure in Canadian\nhistory.\nParcels post, which was only started a month ago, has\nalready proved wonderfully popular. It was the original\nintention to make the weight limit of parcels six pounds\nuntil May 1, when it would be raised to eleven. However,\nthe system has worked so smoothly and so successfully that\nthe limit has been increased already to eleven pounds, which\nhas resultsd in greatly extending the usefulness of the\nservice to the general public.\nNew Styles for\nGood Dressers\nMen's Negligee Shirts, in fancy stripes, good strong material\nZephyrs Ginghams, with soft collars to match and ***% aa\nFrench cuffs \u00E2\u0080\u00A2PafieVV\nPlain Blue.

There is\nno talk now of \" consulting the people \" and \" forcing an\nelection.\" What a clamour was made about these last year.\nWhy the remarkable change ? The reason is a good one.\nHad the Liberals succeeded in.forcing an election last year\nthe recent revelations in connection with the National Trans\ncontinental Railway and the Trent Canal would have been at\nleast temporarily forstalled. Now that the truth respecting\nthese disgraceful episodes is out there is no talk of consulting\nthe people. There are none today to whom the fact that\ngeneral election is not imminent is more welcome than to\nthe Liberal party. In the meantime the members of the\nOpposition are wondering when the next blow will fall and\nwhen the end of it all will come. The only consolation that\ncan be offered them is the fact that the end is not yet.\nTo be Released.\nThe Governor General in Council has signed the release\npapers of the 22 miners convicted at New Westminister in\nconnection with the strike disturbances. Mr. F. H. Shepherd\nM.P.\", has been urging for some time that this course be\ntaken. The matter was taken up by Mr. Shepherd with the\nHon.

We have already taken the\nl'ierty ot pointing out wherein certain changes might be made, and add\ntlie following suggestions:\nAccording to the annual report of\nlho Department ot Municipal Affairs\nfor the financial year 1912-13, there\nwere at the close ot February last,\ntwo hundred and torty-eight villages\nIn existence. One hundred ls tho\nminimum population required tor a\nvillage, twenty-five ot whom must bo\nmale adults. It Kay Interest you to\nknow thnt fifteen of these had at that\ntime a population ot seventy five or\nless, nnd a further fifteen had lcsa\nthan onc hundred population. Over\nono hundred out ot tlio two hundred\nanil forty-eight Villages have a population ot loss than two hundred souls.\nWo believe the minimum required for\nincorporation should be raised to two\nhundred, fifty of whom should ho male\nadults.\nTho delienturo of thc village of scv-\nonty-tlvo people Is hard to mnrket.\nTho Uny population nnd the small assessment are the two chief reasons for.\ntholr unpopularity ambng investors.\nBy Increasing the population qualification you would do much to ralso the\nstandard of the village bond. Thoso\ncommunities below two hundred population might well contlaue aB hamlets\nunder the bave of the Department of\nMunicipal AllVi. with a borrowing\npower perhaps equal to that allowed\nunder the old Village Act. It might\nnot be wlBe to make this legislation\nretroactive\nProhibit Granting Bonuses\nPermission to Issue debentures for\nthe purpose of granting bonuses to\nmanufacturles, flour mills, etc., should\nnot be granted under any circumstances. This ls a pernicious practice\nand it is almost always ontered Into\nby reason of purely local optimism or\nIn a spirit of rivalry. We were, advised recently by an American citizen\nwho has travelled extensively throughout every State in the Union, that\nthere are many citizens, residents ot\nthe Western States ot America, who\naro today taxed to pay debts originally created to foster industries brought\ninto existence by unscrupulous promoters, who oared nothing for tho\ncommunities In which they were for\ntho time' being operated. Tho only\nphysical evidence of these Industries\nor works having existed, Is furnished\nby the dcBerted nnd decaying structures and silent, rusting machinery.\nMost of tho cities tn the llepubllc to\nthe south of us have legislated against\nsuch bonus'ng, and we would like to\nsee our Province do likowiso.\nSuch a commission should have\npower to hear all assessment appeals\nfrom the Court of Hevision as at pre*\nsent constituted. This would go n\nlong way toward eliminating Inflated\nvalues. It should have power to regulate or prevent the Inclusion of outlying lands within the limits of cities\nor towns* Such a restriction would\nbo welcomed by many who feel that\nthla would mitigate tho subdivision\nevil to a very large extent.\n-ingle Tax\nWe do not think lt would bo expedient to remove the matter of assessment from th' jurisdiction of municipal bodies, but we believe tho commission would be able to advise and render munlclpalltes considerable assistance ln thla regard. While the law\nis explicit in this respect Is a fact\nthat there is much room for improvement. Many foel that the tendency\nof our tlm. ts toward the adoption by\nmunicipalities of the so-called single\ntax system, by which is meant taxation of land value- only. Tho adoption ot BUch a system should be gradual, and it Ib believed by many that\ntho taxation of land values only\nwould tend to greater uniformity In\ntaxation throughout thc Province.\nWo holleve such a commission\nwould advocate the enactment of legislation, making it illegal for certain\nmunicipalities to Issue straight term\ndebentures. Villages nnd small\ntowns should repay their bond Indebtedness either by equal annual Instalments of prlnclpnl or by tho annuity\nmethod, which provides for payment\nby equal annual Instalments of principal and interest during tho life ot\nthe lean, that Is to say, tho paymonts\nmado In tlio first yoar would be equal\nto that oa'fed for at any other annual\ndate of the loan. The latter plan\nwould permit of coupons for interest\nonly being attached; a fcaturo sometimes desired by InvoBtors.\nThe commission should have power\nto admlnUter a sinking fund commit-\nteo separate entirely from Us Council. In somo of the older Provinces\nwo believe sinking funds were not\np-.ovlded as thoy should have been\nwhich has to some extont hurt the\nmarket for straight term bonds ot\nsmall municipalities.\nSection 184 of the Town Act reads\nas follows: Every town may, subject\nto the following provisions, pass by-\nlawB tor contracting debts by borrow-\nInw money or otherwise for levying\nrates for tho payment of such debts\non the rateable property ot the towa\nfor any purpose wltbin the jurisdiction\nol the town, or on roads, bridges, water -workB or drainage works outsltle\nthe limits ot the town. Provided that\"\nno town shall have power to pass such\nbylaw for contracting debts to a\ngreater extent than .10 per cent of\nthe rateable property ln tho town, except aa provided In Section 48 of the\nMunicipal Public Works Act.\nTherefore, the Municipal Public\nWorks Act of 190G should bo read In\nconjunction with the City and Town\nActs. It provisions are in part as\nfollows:\nCertain cities .ind all towns may bor*\nrow money for the purpose of con\nstrutting or acquiring water works,\nsewers, lighting, heating, and powor\nworks, in which caBe \"the money borrowed is a special charge upon the\nworks and ls not counted as diminishing tho powers of the municipality to\nborrow money under the City or Town\nAct. From this you will see that it\nIs quite posslblo for n town to con\ntract debts to a far greater extent\nthan 10 per cent of the ratenblo pro\nperty. Vnder tills .\"act debentures\nissued for public works may extend\nover a period ot fifty yearB nnd may\nbe payable in such a manner that for\ntho first live years succeeding their\nIssue date Interest only shall be payable. Our impression is that following the appointment ot such a commission Its members would give early\nconsideration to the privileges granted municipalities u*.dej this Municipal\nPublic Works Act of 1906 a*.id would\nmost likely recommend that it bo re*\npealed.\n(To be Continued)\nYea Tt-i**-* ajtatd ks*sA> 'afnisaat ***Aeo*s**.\nNA-DRU-CO Headache Water*\nstep ihem la quick ttnM sad clear year head.

Take\na poem or prose selection like Shelley's \"Cloud,\" for Instance, and intone It carefully on the primary\nnotes, chanting each verse on a different key, but with no inflection.\nThen take tbe same poem and\n\"speak\" lt In the different keys.\nGradually you will find tbat tbe\nvoice ls taking on a different tone\nand developing in richness and quality, and then follows the detection\nof faults ln your own voice, which\nyou are now eager to overcome.\nWhen once the ear is trained, the\ntime la not far distant when you wlll\nhave attained that much coveted\npossession \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a beautiful speaking\nvoice.\nThink at least twice before using\nyour voice once if It ls well trained,\nand try never to utter a word that is\nnot clear, distinct and well modulated.

Maxwell,\nand \"the astounding, incredible\nthing,\" he concludes, In his comments\non tbe sort of woman a man likes,\n\"ls lhat, wanting all that, we sometimes get lt.\"\nA truer noto, perhaps, Is struck\nby Mr. Joseph Hocking who, it remarking a.iat a woman a man doea\nnot like ls the political woman, says!\n\"Man's ideal of womanhood, as far\nas I know men, la suggested by the\nold-fashioned word 'womanliness'.\nSho ls a sympathetic companion, one\nwho desires to share In the joyt and\nBorrows of her husband. Sho Is a\nlover of home and children, and finds\nber greatest joys by her own fireside.\nShe ls far removed from the creature\nwbose main thought Is her own pleasure. Whether she Is Intellectual or\nnot I do not think of great importance, but she must be pure in heart\nand life, and, like Dickens' Agnes,\nhers mutt he tbe 'band that ever\npoints upward'.\"\nAnd both Mr. Coulson Kernahan\nand hia friend, Mr. Max Pemberton,\nagree with Mr. Hocking. The former,\nIn a Strand Magazine symposium,\nquotes G. II. Lorlmer, the well-known\nAmerican editor and author, who has\ngiven lt as his opinion that \"Marriages may be made in heaven, but\nmost engagements aro made tn the\nback parlor with the gas so low that\na fel.ow doesn't really get a square\nlook at what he ls taking.\"\n\"But\" comments Mr. Kernahan,\n\"tbe woman that the majority of\nmen like may be da.k or fair, tall or\nshort, plump or slim, so long as she\nls, before all things, womanly.\" And\nmost readers will probably agree with\nMr. Max Pemberton, .vho gives It as\nhis opinion tbat men vant \"chiefly\na womanly woman. She must be,\"\nhe says, \"the woman In all the world\nfor him, and he must be conscious of\ntbe fact. It ls quite lmposrlble for\none man to convlnve another tbat any\nparticular type of beauty Is an element In tbe mystery of love. Tbe\nappeal ls from the soul of the woman\nto the soul of the man. Nevertheless, It ts tbe quality of womanhood,\nof gentleness and patience and capacity to love, that ls the supreme\nthing.\"\nMr. E. Temple Thurston Is somewhat severe on bis own sex. \"Tbe\nkind %t woman a man likes,\" he\nsays, \"ls the woman who can minister\nto his selfishness without obliterating\nherself, who can listen to hi* egotism without making him feel hs la\nmonopolizing the conversation, wbo\ncan clothe his thonsnnd faults with\nthe desire to win to his few virtues;\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0he who can bo mother and child, mistress and wife, friend and counsellor\nto his countless Inconsistencies.\"\nA Millionaire's Freak.\nM. Spirldlnoff, a well-known Moscow millionaire, ls just about to celebrate his golden wedding. To the festivities which are to mark the event\ntwo hundred guest* bare been Invited. Each of these two hundred people received tbe otber day a special\nand appropriate card of Invitation,\nmade of pure gold. As each card\nweighs 20 grammes, which Is rather\nlesB than 3-4 oz. avoirdupois, lt follows that tbe total amount of gold\nused Is just about nine pounds. Tbe\nmetal was transformed Into these unique missive, on which tbe Invitation\nwas worked In enamel by a Moscow\ngoldsmith. Each Invitation card la\nvalued at about 130.\nHer Name.\nOnc needs patience to succeed at\na teacher of the young, as this brief\ndialogue in one of our elementary\nschools may show:\nScholar\u00E2\u0080\u0094I've left home now,\nma'am.

We bave a striking illustration'of this In the recent story, which\nafterwards proved to be quite bogus,\nof the charwoman who, it waB Bald,\nhad been lett 1125,000. It appears\nthat about two months ago a report\nwaa circulated from Yorkshire that\nMiss Sarah Ann Davidson, ot Red-\nmlrc, Yorks, bad left an estate, expected to amount to over Sl,000,000,\nand that sbe had bequeathed f 125,-\n000 to a washerwoman named Faw-\ncett. As a matter of fact. Miss Davidson's eBtate waa provjd at ?90,000,\nand tbere was no bequest cither to\nMrs. Fawcott or ti any washerwoman.\nThere was a parallel case In August last, when a laborer named Tuna-\ntall was renorted to have Inherited a\nfortune of something like $1,000,000,\nfrom his father-in-law, who had died\nln Australia. Many romantic stories\nwere told of Tunstall at tbe time,\nand the sceptics seemed to bare been\nsilenced wben it was announced that\nTunstall had sailed for Australia to\ntake orer his wonderful fortune. The\nBceptlcs, however, were rlgh., anu the\nWhole bottom of tbe story wa* knocked out wben Tunstall suddenly returned to Bolton wltb no money.\nIn some cases it is dlfflcnlt to say\nwhy these stories of fictitious fortunes are circulated. There are times,\nhowever, when 'hey enable systematic frauds to be carried out. Tbere\nwas the case, for Instance, of a woman ln a Midland town ln England\nwho assiduously spread the jport\ntbat she had Inherited a fortune of\n$500,000 from a relative who had\ndied in New Zealand. On the strength\nof this report sho borrowed money,\nran up large bills wltb local tradesmen, fleeced her friends to thr extent\nof several hundred pounds, and then\ndisappeared. It was ultimately discovered that she had Inherited no tor-\ntune. Nor was there any prospect ot\nher being bequeathed as much \u00C2\u00BBs a\nfive-pound note, and the people\nwhom she had swindled were let\" lamenting.\nIt may be remembered, too, that\nViolet Charlesworth practiced a similar deception by announcing that she\nwas coming into a fortuae of *\u00C2\u00BB*'50,-\n000 when she reached the < age of\ntwenty-five. Sbe was sentenced o\nfive years' penal servitude, afterwards\nreduced to three years, for conspiring\nand obtaining money by false pretence*.\nHECTOR RERNIER IS A RISINt*\nFIGURE IN LITERATURE.\nOxford Latin Attacked.\nThe question ot the pronunciation\nof Latin aed to a lively discussion at\nthe Headmasters' conference held al\nReai* ing, En*;.\nTbe Rer.
