An American lady recently gavo birth to a child here, and tho father, accompanied by witness, went to register tho birth. Owing to the absence of a mar* riago certificate the clerk said he must record the birth as illegitimate and the only concession made, after much expostulation, was the substitution of the word "doubtful" for ''illegitimate." Further, on being told that tho parents belonged to the Anglican church the clerk wrote down, l,No religion." Baron Ledlitz. who is shortly to marry Miss Roosevelt, of Now York, will wear his German officer's uniform at the wedding. This is at the request of Miss Roosevelt, who wished her friends to see what a handsome man ho is. To make this possible he had to get the consent of Emperor William. This was at first refused, but the Emperor, on learning how much Miss Roosevelt wns interested in the matter, graciously consented. It is a gorgeous uniform. Speaking of it recently to a friend the Baron said: "It is trimmed wiz 20 fur of ze little American monkey called ze chunk." Tho Baron does not know as much about natural history as ho does about war. An exchange relates the following : A man named Alexander McGovan, engaged in the Wellington (New Zealand) harbour improvement works, has just had a remarkable encounter with an octopus. The information is dated tho 3rd ult., and says thnt McGovan went down in his diving dress for tho purpose ef setting some large blocks under the water in which piles had been previously driven. As McGovan wus in tlie act of placing ono of the Mocks, he was seized by an immense o-topus. The monster fastened on 10 the piles nt the same time. MoGovan at lirst made an attempt 10 get clear, but the more ho fought with the octopus tho moro he found that it was useless, us its grip became stronger. He then wisoly desisted, and iu a few moments had tho satisfaction of knowing that tho octopus had released its grasp of tho piles. This was no sooner done than McGovan gavo tho signal to bo hauled up. His signals were (illicitly responded to, and up went ino diver with the creature on his lack; Us legs measured nine feet long. MoGovan certainly had a narrow escape, and it was only by his disoreet quietness that he turned tbo tables on tho octopus. WANT OF BACK-SON!;. New Yohk, Jan. 28. -A Washington special Bays:âThe painful lack of backbone on tho part of the head of 1I10 state department in handling the Samoan problem is likely to lead to the disruption of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet.

While it is not known tlmt these rumors have any foundation in fact, thu present strain in the condition of affairs in the cabinet is undoubtedly the cause of their irritation. A GREAT FIRE.

COMMENTS ON JJOULANOEE's VICTORY. New Yokk, Jan. 28.âThe -Tribune's Paris cable on the Boulanger victory, snys: " The soberest of Freuch journals said this afternoon that General Buuhinger's success would be au app-il- lim* humiliation for France. Beyond doubt it alienates many European sympathies to say nothing of American. Boulanger to Europe means aggression aud revenge and a policy of rash enterprise. This is merely probable for he is not the ruler of France, but Paris has done what Bhe can to help him towards the dictatorship. If the republic was strong, if strong men governed it, and if the republican party were united General Boulanger could do littlo. It is not clear how. even against weak men this weak man can prevail, but erents move rapidly* in France. There is no country of whioh it is so true that nothing succeeds liko sue* cess. Paris swarms with men of disorder. They want nothing but pretext und a leader. The republicanism of the majority has degenerated into anarchy. The commune lifts its serpent again, and anarchy flies its red flag. If the president and ministry falter with the now peril anything may lmppeli. If thoy keep their head nnd keep order for the next few days Gen. Boultmger's victory may cumo toHttK but I'fpublicanisin iu the rvat of Europe, its well as iu Franco, is the first jjuffercr-rby Gen, Boulangei's victory."

Under the heading of "Tho Churches," in another column, will be found a more than usually lengthy reportâthat of Kev. Mr. White's (of tho Methodist church) sermon. It is our aim to make the reports of sermons in the Monday issue of The Columbian as concise as possible so as to givo a fair synopsis of tho various discourses reported. The sermon in question, however, from its particular character and distinctly local application, we found it difficult to summarise more tbnn wo have done. We believe, moreover, that it will repay careful perusal by all, and especially by those who have so recently been placed in positions of civic responsibility. The sermon itself does not appear to be a haphazard production, but bears marks of careful preparation, and deals pretty accurately, we are convinced, with that side of our social life which is least pleasant to look upon, and which here, as in all cities, naturally seeking the darkness, "becauso its deeds are evil," escapes ordinary observation, but none tho less works fearful ruin becauso it works insiduously. The Kamloops Sentinel has the following to say about tho artesian well experiments of the local government, in the upper country, and the remarks thereon of the Victoria Times. As the Sentinel is on the ground, it should know something about the subject, and wo republish its remarks accordingly: "Our excellent cotemporary, the Times, has of late appeared anxious regarding the artesian well experiment of the local legislature, and with a persistency not even excelled by tho gentleman conducting the experiment, has been boring its readers with tirades against the government, the local member and the local organâthe Sentinelâfor the total lack of iuformation anent the success of the experiment, as woll as for the amount of labor performed for tho money expended. True, ns the Timet* says, the Sentinel is published within a few miles of the seat of operations, hut the statement is equally untruo that this journal has been dumb in tho matter. During tho progress of the work the Sentinel has given a report of what was being done, and has endeavored, as much as lay in its power, to. give the matter prominence. But when information regarding any work is being suppressed, we do not claim a seer's prophetic vision to enable us to give details. If the Times can only contain itself with patience until the report of the experiment is presented to the house, doubtless it will obtain all tho information necessary regard ing it. Then it will be able to bore deeply into statistics, and into the government as well, and atthe same time bore its readers with ceaseless, nnd senseless vaporings by a penny- a-liner about matter of which he has no knowledge. Candidly speaking, we believo the government has been led into an error in adopting the system they did to try the experiment, A much more feasible method, and one which would have been attended with a better measure of success might have been tried, and to-day it would have been definitely known whether the artesian well system of irrigation is practicable or otherwise. As it now appears, no practical good has resulted from the test made, and tho people's money has been used in boring a holeânobody knows where, and in giving a soft time aud good wages to a 'gentleman in knickerbockers,' as the Ttmes terms him. If the government is sincere in a desire to thoroughly test the experiment, and wo believo it is, let the work be undertaken in a practical manner, and if it is a failure through lack of reaching water, wo feel safe in saying the electors will not object to the ox* pense. But under present circumstances, the government will find it difficult to satisfy the people that the appropriation was oxpended judiciously or in their interests. Regarding the amount of the appropriation the Times is in error. It was $3,000 in place of $5,000. Bnt a thousand or two one way or the other does not bother tho Times when it wants to get a slap at the ' powers that be.'" A short time ago our despatches stated that Gen. Grenfell, commander at Suakim during the recent hostilities, had secured an apparently authentic account of the manner in whioh the lamented and heroic Gordon met his death, namely, by treachery when surrendering his sword to the Mahdi's generals, A London despatch dated Jan. 18th, to an American paper, furnishes the following interesting particulars: The mail from Suakim brings despatches from General Grenfell, among which is the latest, and this time an absolutely authentic account of the last houn of General Gordon, the hero of Khartoum, whose lonely tomb in the centre of the Soudan is now venerated even by the Malulists as thut of a saint. The account, which has been collated with various documents and reports, and officially declared to be true, is furnished by Demetrio Georgrio, a Greek, who recently arrived at Suakim from Khartoum. Georgio was born at Berber, and was present at the capture and sack of Khartoum. Here is his story as told to General Grenfell: "I was at Khartoum the night it was taken. The Nile had gone back so that a part of the city was open. Gordon did not construct fresh trenches and ramparts, because he thought there were sufficient troops to defend the city. Thero were 3,000, I think. The gaps and ull round about were held by a large force under Farig Pasha. That night Farig moved his troops, especially the blacks, from tho gaps, saying the soldiers were wanted on the other side, Gordon had perfect confidence in Farig, The attack took place at two points. At the largest gap thero was no resistance. If tho British army, or even a fow of them, had arrived even an hour beforo the attack took place, Khartoum would not have been taken, and Gordon's troops would havo fought to the last. Farig had sent word to the Mahdi: 'Unless you attack to-night all is lost' In that night all was blood and ilamos. Tho city had passed over from tho command of Gordon to tho Mahdi. It was a dreadful night. 1 shall remember it to my dying day. The air echoed with horrible shrieks, yells, lamentations, and waitings, and smelt of blood. I had threo friends, Greeks. I hastened to rescue them. 1 had two Mahdist uniforms givon to me by an Arab friend. One I gave to ono friend, putting on the other myself. It was noaring daybreak when I took my friends to my house. Some Arabs rushed in telling mo I ought to go to the government house--tho seraglio, they called itâat once. I asked why. They replied: 'All the great officers of the Mahdi have gone there to kill Gordon Pasha.' When they saw thut the third friend had no Mahdist garment on thoy slew him. We were tken taken into the court-yard. I saw Gordon Pusha smoking a cigarette on a balcony facing the river. We had enterod at the back of the palace, entering the yard, where the sycamore tree is. Georgio Demetrio, the principal medical officer of the Soudan and the provinces, and Nicola Lemin- dita, the Greek consul, were with him. Five hundred dervishes, who had been sent by tho Mahdi with special orders to take Gordon alive, stood at the foot of tho staircase. I went up tho stairs, being sent by the men below, who were vociferating: 'Gordon Pasha! Gordon Pasha!' Gordon coolly left the balcony. 'Fly,' said the other two, 'while there is yet time. Go in at the little door and take the boat.' 'Shall I fly and leave my post?' Gordon replied, indignantly. 'That, indeed, would be a disgrace I shall not fly,' He then went into his inner room, and donned his full uniform and sword. Then he came out, nnd grandly drew himself up to his full height. On his visage was a look of scorn. 'Whom seek ye.' he asked, on gazing at the sea of angry faces. 'Gordon Pashul' they cried, 'You want him, do you. I am ho. Come up hither,' Gordon replied. On being again urged by Demetrio and the Greek consul to fly, Gordon replied; 'For shame! Would you have me abandon my post ignominiously V He could easily have escaped at the rear then. As Gordon stood boldly facing tho dervishes several superior Mahdist generals came up. The dervishes allowed them to pass. They ascended the stairs and asked for the Pasha. Gordon met them, saying: 'I am ho,' and handed them his sword in military fashion, intimating that he knew they had taken the place and that consequentlythe surrendered according to the usages of war. But Nassas, ono of the generals, snatched hold of the sword, at the same time in a brutal and most cowardly manner striking Gordon an unexpected blow. The Pasha would have fought desperately had he thought he would not bo treated in an honorable manner. He fell rol ling down the stairs. As he rolled another general speared him on the left side, inflicting a dangerous wound. Thus died Gordon. I wbb there a spectator to tlie ghastly deed, I got out of the way when he rolled to tho bottom of the stairs. Some say that Gordon was cut up to little pieces, but others relate that they embalmed his body and took it to tho Mahdi, There wero bodies cut up, but I am inclined to believe that these were the bodies of tho consul and tho doctor."

And suited to my mind, And us the wind swept by It, tho lone reed Ucnt low, nnd seemed to say: "Poor Is your life, ah, very poor, indeod, K you for death oan pray. " Has not the good God given to yon strength, Fitted Hfo'a cares to moot! Do you expect to reach Heaven's Joys at length. Through mooltly-mot defeat?. . Boo, hero I stand, a withered reed, and yet I pray not for the cud, For I believe that God will not forget Evon me, a reed, dear friend. - "And so, though withered, brown, and left alone, I do not fret nor weepâ I foel tho Father will not mo disown, Wbon through death cometh sleep; And here, amid the darkness, storm and wrath, I think of hours more bright. When sweet flowers oluitored tn my earthly path, ' And sun and stars gave tight. " God's lore Is vast, so vast, tbe smallest thing Is held within HU cnre; When toroiiostB rago, or when the robins slog, And earth with bloom Is fair." Then ceased the words the lone reed seemed to spoab. And revcront bowing down: "Dear Lord," I said, "bearingmy cross, I seek Through faith to win my crown." -Thomas 3. Collier, tn Youth's Companion. SULTANIC TBEA-URES. A Glimpse at the Contents of tne Old Seraglio. Ever since tho daya when I used to devour "The Arabian Nights" I had been filled with an ardent dosiro to view tho marvolous treasures of tho Sultana which aro so glowingly described In that charming companion ol my childhood, bo when I found myself at the Golden Horn, one of my first proceedings wqs to take steps to get a view of thom, writcB a correspondent of the Jet. tiers' HVf'.-ij/ from Constantinople. I must confess, howover, that had I known how muoh cc-oinony nnd rod tape business was to be gone lliruugh boforo tho desired permission win granted I would have given up the ation.pt. IVnnisRion to gazo upon the Sultan's treasuro can only bo obtained hy moans of it 11 .-iiiitn from his Sublime Higlwoss Mm- bi-'I", :. uoveroign utterance similar to those hy which peace or war Is declared. Having, IiqwoV--*, after innumerable difflcultloa oh* turned thu covotcd document, an aide-do* camp conducted mo to tho palace known ns the Old Seraglio, a large, gloomy looking structure without any windows and sui- turbans being placed directly on tlio shoulders, which produces a very grotesque! clT-i'l. This is moro particularly tlio caso] wlih tlio ono representing tho last of tliu Mahomets, whose state robe was simply tho uniform ot a Russian or Austrian General. It is doubtful whether these costumes uro really tlio state apparel of each Sultan, and thoro la also reason for behoving that tbls historical collection was formed at a comparatively recent date, Thero is, howover, no doubt that tho coBtumeB belong to tho dales assigned to thom, and that somo of those belonging to tho sixteenth uud seventeenth centuries wero really worn hy tho Sultans of tbat period. Each turban is surmounted hy a handsome ut'-rette, hold In place by a jewel, and in each belt is a magnificent dagger. Most of tlic-0 arms are veritable masterpieces ol art. Onu of tho' carved gold guards is worthy of Cellini, and tho handle of another dagger is formed of a single emerald. The profusion of stones on the dagger and on tho aigrettes of tho turbans is roally wonderful* One of tho latter la held In place by a clasp composed of two emeralds and u ruby, each 1'2 inch in diameter. All tha robes uro of magnificent brocade, so richly embroidered that they would stand iilone. In pausing out of the treasuro houso I was taken iiirougli a kiosk containing the ancient library of tho Sultans. It contains ho* tweon two und threo thousand volumes in manuscript, nil In leather cases and piled ono on top of tho other. At tho timo of Um Ronulasanco tho eyes of tho wholo of Western Europe woro cast longingly toward this collection, which was supposed to contain the books of tho Byzantino Emperors and to include many unpublished works hy tho classio writers of Greece and Rome. No person, however, was allowed to outer it, even a request to be allowed to do so from Louis XIV. having boen rofused. It Is now believed that the collection doc3 not contain any classical manuscripts, but on this point there cau be no certainty, as the contents of the volumes are atill jealously guarded from view. ., __' Country courting. The Loves of DaphuosandChlo. Desoribed by nn Expert. Every lad in tbe country, no matter how lowly his occupation may bo or how small tho wages ho may cam, miiltea it a point to own a aot of harness aud a buggy, says tho New York World. Thla, any way, and, if possible, a horse. If he can't get tho horse, however, itdoosn'tinako bo much difference, for ho can generally manage to borrow an anlmul of some sort, either from his employer or somo neighboring farmer. These things oro absolutely essential to the kind of courting ho does, and the only one who doesn't enjoy it fa tho horse. When Saturday afternoon comes around the boys may bo found hard at work with a bottlo of harness polish, making tho horse's appurol shine for the regular Sunday turnout. And then n bucket of water and u sjwngo aro brought into play, and the buggy is mado to look as bright and clean as now. Sunday afternoon overy thing Ib in roadi* uesB, and decked out in his hcstBultof clothes,'which sometimes fits him hut more often doesn't, he ties a pieco of bright ribbon on hia whip^climbs into the buggy and drives off. May bo ho has a friend from some othor point stepping with him, and in that case the friend goes along. Tho latter is taken to somo houso along tho route whero thoro is a daughter in the family. Bho is asked whether sho expects any caller or not that evening, and if tho answer bo in tho negative tlio friond is Introduced and loft iu care of tho girl, who treats him just as if thoy had boon lifelong friends, and he in turn doos his aharo towards carryingout tho pre* rounded by deserted eardonB. Upon arrlv- ,, _ , . -.,---, . , al there I was handed ovor to tho guardian â¢""P**0"*, Ho *S_?lSl_ff 1 11 of tlio troasuroâa high functionary of moBt niajostl- mlou, who waa accompanied hy thirty officials of lower rank to assist in tho ceremony of opening the doors. Tho latter ranged themselves In two roWB, ono on each side of tho entrance. A largo green velvet bng containing tho keyB waa passed from hnnd to hand until It reached tho gun;-tlian of tho treasure. Ho picked out the 'Joys and handed them to two of the as- Rlsti.tits, Tho outer door was thon opened. Behind this waa a wrought iron grating sec; -ed hy enormous pSdlocks. This being swung open wo found ourselves in tbo flrst of tlu'co large, badly lighted and mysterious uokiug apartments. I was at last in the prosunce of the treasures of tho Sultans. Tlio first object which attracted my attention waa a largo throne of beaten gold, which occupied tho center of tho room uud whl'.h was intrusted with thousands ol rubies, emeralds and pearls, Thla throne, according to an inscription on it, was taken by Sultan Selim from tho Persians in 1614. It is, howover, doubtful whether this work ot ort ia so old. Another throno in tho ->&me room Ib more Interesting. It is n fino specimen of Turkish art in the sixteenth century. It Ib of the aamo form as the seats found in many of the mosques, and was intended to bo sat upon croBB-logged, At each corner is a column which supports a dome terminating in a jeweled point It h of ebony and sand- wood inlaid with mothor of pearl, tortoise shell, gold and silver, It la covered with fantastic planta In mothor of pearl, tho center of the flowers being composed of largo rubies, omer- ulds, sapphires and pearls. Suspended by a golden chain ao as to be over tho head of tho Sultan is a golden heart from whioh depends a large' emerald of Irregular form, measuring four Inches long and 1^ inches across. *f Tho threo rooms are decorated with magnificent suits of armor. Here la to be seen the beautiful coat of mall with damaakeoned platea worn by Sultan Murad IV. when he captured Bagdad ln 1888. Beside it la the scimitar of the aamo monarch. The guard and handle are inlaid, with diamonds out flat nnd cot in checker work, each Btono being the 1 me Bize and half an inch square. This ia li -attorn of whioh the Turkish jewelers of -it period aeem to havo been fond, for near ..lis awordia'a largo gold vaBO In the same nylo. The whole of the body of this vos3..: 1 hidden by a mosaic of square, flat diamond., to the number of 9,000. The bulk of the treasures la la -glnsa cases, tho bottoms of which are covered with magnificent velvet horse cloths, Ono of those, measuring eight feet by seven, la literally covered with designs embroidered In pearls the site of a large pea. Among other notable objects are a massive conical gold helmet, a pair of golden stirrups of ox* quisitu design, and daggers, sabers and other arms without number, all beautifully decorated with gold and precious atonos. All those are arranged In tho greatest disorder and mingled with objects of no vuluo, By the sido of pieces whose value is incalculable may ho seen modern Paris and Vienna clocks, porcelain vases, pistol cases, Bilvor knives, forka and spoons, tootliplcks, and even leather olgar cases and pocket-booka. On the other hand, ancient object* of European origin are remarkable for their absence; and one naturally wonders what can havo become of tho many presents the Sultana must have received from Christian monarchs, such as enameled -unit boxes, Sevres and Dresden vases, object'; in Ormolu and other specimens of old European art workmanship. Nothing of tbe kind is to be seen in the treasure rooms, ->3'iil_ly they may bckept apart in a room by thcmselTea, hut it Is more probable that the Sultana dlapoaed of them by presenting them to tho favorite* of the herein. Around) (ho rooms, ranged against tho walls, are large vases tilted with unout gems and coins of gold and silver. I remarked, however, tbat tho coins wore coin* par..lively modern, and that tho gems oould not compare in value with thoso Inlaid Iu the ubjects I have already doaorlbod. .It Ib proKiblo that tho exigencies of a depleted oxcli-quor caused tho owners of tho treasure fro-. timo to timo to dlspoBO of tho original aud more valuable contents of tho cases and io Bubatltuto for thom those now found thnro. . Th- treasure contain* a splendid lot of lar;,'t. vases of rock crystal, jade, onyx and cu-, i und (luaks of gold, all of Indian or Fci'.-ian origin. Thoro are also two largo octuipMial jars of evident Gothla origin aud a wholo scrioB of Orlontlal porcelains mounted In gold filigree work, to sny nothing of some beautiful pieces of bluo and white Portion poroeloln. The middle room- contain the rteto robes of the Sultans, from 1458 to I860, these aro displayed on hendloi*. lay figures, tha and then Is escorted to tho parlor, when In and his new-found ncquaintanco uro left alone to entertain each othor as best thoy soo fit. Iii the meantime tho buggy owner has driven on to his destination. His host girl welcomes him with open arms. A hug, u kins and a how-do-ye-do comprise tho salutatory, and thon ho gooa through .the same courso as the friend whom he has left behind. Aftor tea ho goes to tho parlor und ho and tho object of his admiration sit and chat together tbo whole ntffht long. Thia is afoot, and they don't Bit as city folks do, cither. They huddle together on n lounge or sofa and, clasped In each other's arma, sit and coo liko a pair of turtle doves. Na one is thore to disturb or embarrass thom. Tho old folks havo gone to bed and the youngsters nro alono in their glory. For u timo thoy talk about crops and tbo weather and discuss tho habits of Bomo mutual ac* quaiiitnncc, and whon thoy havo exhausted all subjects on which thoy find it easy to converse thoy don't go ahead and talk for tho sako of saying something, ns eity folks do, but they remain silent nud sit for hours hugging ond kissing ouch other, until tho break of day warns the youth that it is timo for him to retire. Then ho gives his girl a parting kiss and hug, another for good luek, and takes his departure. A ONE-SIDED AGE. 1'n-uili*-; Cmiim-iils 011 tha GiVAt H-ivi.lu* llim In DecorulIvo Tin"!*-.

Uut now, with othor epidemic changes in taste, a ohango has decidedly taken place in this; things matching exactly are voted monotonous, inartistic, and pairs, as our grand* mothers knew them, aro becoming an almost extinct race of articles. Gardens havo lost tho prim formality of yore, nnd we see.llower bed* dotted unooromouioit-dy about in cureless, irregular designs on iho green sw.ird, as though they bad come there by accident.

The Kamloops Sentinel says: A parly of jolly good fellows nnd a number of uo less jolly yonng ladies took advantage of sleighing and had nn outing on Monday evening. The outing wai made more pleasant,, probably, when they lost themselves on the reserve and further progress wus stopped by running against the base of the mountain. An hour or more prospecting brought tho p.irty safely out of the difficulty and while the episode waa enjoyed heartily, it is not safe to make any remarks regarding it in the hearing of tliose who shared in it.

On Saturday evening last a small but ver*,- interesting mooting was held in Temperance Hall, Columbia street by a number of those interested in forming a lodgo uf the order of Knights of Pythias iu Westminster. A few knights from Granville Lodge No 3 ,of Vancouver come over for the purpose of giving any necessary assistance in tho matter. Mr. C. L. Behnson, of Vancouver waa culled to tho chair and Mr. J. B .Kennedy cf Sapperton was appointed secretary. Tho chairman nnd Messrs. Garvin, Bloii-quisfc and McAllister gave full explanations of tho principles, objects, and working of the order. Another meeting will bo called in the course of a week or two, of which iluc notice will bo given through tlie press and it is Imped that all members of the order in Westminster will attend aud nlso nil thoao who huvo nny desire to connect themselves with n society which hus its foundation friendship, charity, nnd benevolence. â¢ â>-â¢ Tbe Exhibition Fund. Thu exhibition fund is growing steadily, but too slowly. Citizens who ahould have como forward at lirst and Bubscribf-d handsomely, nnd thus aet a good cxnmplo whilo peoplo wero in tho humor to subscribe, did uot do so and many havo yet failed tu como to the scratch. To-day ex-Mayor Dickinson adds the handsome sum of $212. - 85 to tho list, which now begins to assume respectable proportions. This amount hus boon saved by Mr. Dickin son from the different celebrations of which ho was chairman nnd treasurer, and which were ao well managed as to leave this large amount to the good, Having this money on hand ho considered it best to mako it over to tho exhibition fund whore it will do the city tho most good. Large subscriptions are now in order and small ones too. If Westminster is going to keep its promise and make the exhibition a grand success many liberal eubscrijjttoiis will yet bo required. The Pool Hall Hatcb. Tho Weal minster foot ball team left for Vnncouvor on Saturday afternoon at ono o'clock, hy stage, and after a disagreoable and fatiguing trip arrived thero at three o'clock. The stages waited at tho door of the Grey Hound Hotel while tho men wero dressing, and when that necessary operation was porformed drove immediately to the athletic grounds whero play commenced at 3:30 o'clock. Westminster won the toss and chose to defend the southern goal. The veteran Hammer- aley kicked tlio bull into play uud a series of tight scrimmages ensued for fifteen minutes, tho ndvautnge generally iu Vancouver's favor. After ono of the scrimmages Lewis secured tho ball and got behind Vancouver, goal and mado a touch-down which, however, was not allowed by tho referee. Up till this time the Westminster forwards had failed to give tho backs a chance, whilo Vnncouvor obtained several free kicks for goal which made things look serious for tho visitors. Ten minutes before the call of half time, Coulthard in charging the ball, as Johnson was kicking, received tho full force of the kick just above the left ankle, breaking both bones. Play wns stopped and Mr, Coulthard was lemoved to the Grey Hound Hotel aud his injuries attended to by Dr. Robertson who happened to be on the field at the time. Although suffering most excruciating pain Coulthard stood tho Betting like a hero and enjoyed a cigarette while the operation waa being porformed. After an interval of five minutes play was resumed with no advantage to cither team during the remainder of the half. During the play Westminster was forced to tako three touch-downs for safety. Lister opened the second half and ran with the ball well into Vancouver's "2_>" and tho play was hotly pressed there for 10 minutes during which many hard scrimmages occurred. Finally tho ball came out to Greame who passed to Woods who mndo a good shot for goal, but missod, the ball passing only six foot from the post. After the "drop out" tho ball waB forced into the Westminster half and remained there for some time. Lewis finally relieved the pressure by a pretty run and later Woods by a fine kick into Vancouver's touch. Vancouver quickly rallied, however, and dribbled the ball to the visitors "25." This was by long odds the host pioco of forward pluying during the match. Play continued in the 25 for Borne minutes when Hon well got the ball and passed to Williams who kicked for goal. Lister claimed a foul on the grounds that the ball was thrown forward fully three yards, but the referee gave hia decision iu favor of Vancouver. The ball lighted within a few feet of Weatminster's touch line and hero a scrimmage took place without the ball. In the meanwhile Ben well got the leather and pawed to Wood* ward who made a drop kick and got a goal. A protest was entered but as usual the referee decided in favor of Vavouver. When tho ball was kicked off Vancouver carried the play into Westminster's "25" and finally; after a hard struggle obtained a touchdown but failed to make a goal. From this point to the finish no decided advantage was gained by cither side. On the whole Vancouver played well, but the play on their part was muoh rougher than the dangerous condition of tho ground called for. In fact it was altogether too rough for any field and not the style of modern foot-ball play. For WeBtminster Oorbett, Coulthard, Turner and McMartin acquitted themselves with credit. The backs, unfortunately, had no chance to show their play. At least 25 appeals were made to tho referee during the game all of which, with one exception, were in favor of Vancouver, which, to say the least, waa a wonderful shoving in favor of the home team. Mr. C. G, Johnson, than whom n more whole-souled and generous man does not live, with his usual hospitality insisted that Mr. Coulthard should be removed to his (Johnson's) private residence. Mr. Coulthard is now comfortably installed thero and is progressing as favorably as might bo expected. Mr. Johnson's kindness is appreciated in Westminster. TheToronto IFor/dSaturday morning published the following in double leaded type: Tho World is enabled to announce this morning that Hon John Haggart, postmaster general, .has recommended to his colleagues tho adoption of a two cent letter postage nnd that this recommendation will bo embodied in a government measure to be brought down oarly in tho session. Mr. Haggart will also signalize his advent to offlce by othor postal reforms of a desirable character. The lowering of the postage in keeping with modern needs is hailed with delight by THE CHURCHES.

Matthew, part 2nd vers-1, "Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst uiako mo clean," nnd said: The aoi'iuon on tho mount with its double application was ended. To bo uot only hearers, but doers, of the word, wns applicable to-day, and if thero wns less craving to hoar in our own icay and more aim ing io do, with tho intention of plena* ing God, this would mako our good works real. Our woi-ha should show that our faith was founded on a Rock, immovable by tho temptation*, nnd ills which assailed. What a discourse thia last sermon ; how full of words of warning, exhortation nud comfort; iu which "Therefore I say," "Verily 1 say unto you," frequently noted His divinity, and, descending from the mount, great multitudes followed Him, and in the presence of theso tlie leper approached, (here the venerable archdeacon graphically described the various stages of tho disease), and pointed to his bei*.-* past man's help ; only God could euro him, a type of Bin in tho sinner, which only God can removo. Knowing tho power of Jesus, ho owned to it and said 'if Thou wilt Thou canst make me clean." As sinners wo should look more to Jesus, His greatness, His power, and bo able in faith to say "Thou canst," und our will mny uot always bo His will; He knows our true good, aud will do for us in His own good time, nud with what love and trust tho church teaches this in tho genoral supplication. Christ is always willing to cleanse our souls, nnd it is our will alone thut oan leave us unclean. Sin, like leprosy, lirst takes us-with littlo objections, then tho various means of grace nro neglected, ; then tho blessed sacrament is despised, and, liko tho leper, you nro cut off from God. Christ stoops in His humanity to regenerate, and the church teaches thia in tho baptism, catechism, and confirmation, and thoae who have become spotted by the flesh or huvo carelessly lost what Christ gave them in these ordinances should cry out in agonizing prayer, nnd thoy will then hear the prompt echo, us in the leper's prayer, "1 will mnko thee clean." The hand of Christ, an I id I .a ting tho word, stretched out nnd touched him, and hero is a glorious proof of Hia divinity; for, while Christ touched tho leper, Ho Himself remained without spot, and wo can in His holy sacrament have our bodies made clean by His body. It is our justification, sn net ideation, salvation, and wo should long for pure souls in pure bodies and attain to that higher life. On descending from the pulpit and reaching tho communion table, the venerable archdeacon very feelingly said : "I want to any a few words to you, nnd it is hard for nio to siy them, but tho over growing work of the parish aud my increasing years and consequently failing strength have mndo mo consider, nnd I am seriously considoring,nbout resigning the rectorship of Holy Trinity nnd to seek some quiet parish in tho diocese, where the labor would not bo bo heavy as in thia parish, which, to do the work properly, requires three priests; nnd I earnestly nsk your prayers thnt God may guide mo in my decision ns may best promote tho interests ot Hia ohurch and work," (concluding in deep emotion.) These remarks did not seem to surprise tho rather small congregation, and woro anticipated, ns the venerable nrchdeacon's ago and failing strength have manifested themselves to a painful degree of late, and his severing his connection after 21 yenrs labor at. Holy Trinity will bo felt koenly. -' tt, nn METHODIST CHL'IICH, Last evening, the choir having vacated the orchestra, a large plan of the city was adjusted at tho back of the rostrum, Iter. Mr. White said it was an unusual way of preaching, but it was BometimoB good to deviate from tho ordinary course, bo that they could improve both mind and heart; he would take his text from Genesis, 11 chap. 4 and 6 v., "And they said, 'Go to, let us build us a city, and let us mnke us a name,' And the Lord came down to see the city which tho children of men builded." The reverend gentleman said: This is a very old account of an ancient event, and in these modern times tho people snid, "Let ua build us a city, so that wo be not scattered; build atreets, roads, dwellings, stores, hulls, churches and railways," ahd whenever they were built God comes down to visit them nnd inspects, not only the mnin streets, but tho back lunes and alleys, the haunts of crime and vice. The time was coming again when the cities wouid perish that defied Jehovah, The first tendency of the race was to disperse, but soon for natural protection they began to congregate in cities. In tho Bible, cities were often personified, according to prevailing character, as "mother' "wife" "widow" "virgin" or "harlot." Cities havo characters aa well as individuals. If I might venture to characterize the cities of this province. Victoria is middle-aged, well-to-do, a trifle pomnous but kindly; Nanaimo, hard-working, rugged, having somo vices, but a good heart; Vancouver, young, precocious, n little ovorgrown, but likely to prosper; Westminster, staid, rather proud of her morality, but like many moralists, not abovo reproach in all particulars. The good government and evangelization of cities are problems confronting tho nation and tbe churoh to-day. Many of the best men and women of the world livo in cities, while they also contain con* tres of degrading vice and crime. Proceeding, the preacher pointed out tho beautiful situation of this city, indicating on tho map the churches, schools, places of business &c. Emphasizing tho large excess of places where liquor ia sold over those supplying the necessaries of life. Theso are all recognized by tho government, but there are somo not so recognizedâ five places, in which iB "the way to hell, going down to death." I huve marked thom red and black; you may call the mark-*, marks of blood, or fire of hell, but it was tho only colors to mark these pest-houses; thoy ought to bo stamped out; tho law is broken, whiskey is sold at 25 cte. a glass every night in the year and tho polico know it. This could bo put a stop to, and if some will have tha courage to help, wo nan combine and stump them out. In the canvass lately all the candidates spoke of progress, which wo hopo will bo moral as well ns material. This evil is an increasing menace to our city's progress, I might show V") how much money is drawn'in wages iu the different concerns in our oity, but, just in round figures, say thore is 9100,000 a month, 91,200,000 a year; and in the saloon-âthese waste holes- there goes one month's wages, 9100,* 000, at leut. Two or three people put abroad some startling figures on railroad matters during the elections; if you take what is spent in these places in two years, you will, be able to pay tho bonus and have 92B,*00O or. $-.0,000 to spend on improvements; somo say, it puts the money in circulation, but the money only chaugos hunds. Now, if you lake this congregation, and suppusu thoy hnvo nu average of 50 cts. each to spend, and we were to allow a couple of men to start a littlo businesa in tho cornor of tho building, and you wero to patronize them, byo nnd bye they would hnvo all the money and you would have none. These men don't put one cent into tho city, but take everything out; In some, systematic robbery is carried on, gambling is practiced, and young boys are learning to drink; they aro inducod to come in, and in a little while they will be sent to gaol, and from thore go to the penitentiary, and somo fine morning at 0 o'olock we will bu seeing them hanged. There uro some boys in this city on tho fair way to the gallows, if they continue in their present course. Mothers would be shocked if they were told their baby would be a murderer; but under these influences they might. Boys aro supplied with liquor on Front street, aud on New Year's night there were eight or ten of them the worse for liquor. This needs looking into. Continuing, the speaker showed thero were good influences that might be throw n around the youth of tho cily, such as the churches, tho schools, good newspapers, (referring to which the speaker saidâ"Some are cheap at 910 a year and othen are dear at any prioe"), the public library, Y.M.C.A, rooms, Ac., and warned against attending theatrical performances, saying that not oue out of ten was Bate for children to see. Keep away from tho saloons, said the speaker and continued: I will bo friends with the man who sella liquor, as a man, but the traffic I will strike a blow at every chance I got. I hopo to see the now council reduce the number of licenses nnd especially shut up some saloons. And these pest houses that load to hell could be stopped; thoy would not be permitted in a town of this size in Ontario. While you made quite a stir to keep out the small-pox, do not harbor this moral disease to whioh we aro now giving our permission. Try to protect your families. This is almost the city of my birth; 1 was only three years old when I came hore; I know every stump on top of this hill, the old school-house, in which many here present were school m ate3. I foel moro at homo and have. moro interests hero than elsewhere, and I feel some of theso things ought to bo blotted out and we be made a moral city, wherein true righteousness dwells. The government will help, the counoil will help, God will help, you can helpâdo ao. The discourae was listened to by a crowded audience with breathless attention, and tho singing was decidedly congregational, BAPTIST CIIUBOII. The sorvico last night at tho Baptist church was well attended. The Cow Boy evangelist's discourse was based on the patience of Job, which was listened to with marked attention. At tho close of his remarks Rev. F. Chamberlain, with well-chosen words, spoke on the importnnco of Booking the Saviour at once and five responded to the call. Tho meetings will continue during the week, conducted by the evangelists. CORRESPONDENCE. Hfply to â â il'lien.*' Ed-Tor Colombian,âIn your issue of the 24th inst, there is a communication signed "Citizen." He tolls a few facts which I commend for the consideration of 05 por oent. of the citizens of New Westminster. "Citizen" says he voted for the branch, he voted for the Southern, and he signed tho bond, and gives as his reason for doing so, that it put money tn his pocket. "Citizen" also says that tho railway will only be a practical benefit to about 5 per cent, of thn people and it seems he is one of that select fow. Of course it is natural that in his generosity to tho 95 per cent, who voted for the Southern, Bigncd the bond, and did still moreâmortgaged themselves for 9150,* 000 with intereat for 50 yearsânot that it would be any benefit to them, but that It would put money in the pockets of the select 5 per cent, of the oitizens. Of course, "Citizen," in hia communication, costs a Blight star upon the intelligence of the 95 per cent., bnt it is all owing to his anxiety about their welfare. All tho benefits of tbe scheme he ad vocal es have to go to the 93per cent, at least he says so. It ia this, that they go through another round of voting, so that they can do a Uttle mora mortgaging aud thus secure a road, water and sewerage system, and they will also have the privilege of paying increased rents to the select 5 per cent., through the increase of tho value of land, so that the benefits will be thusâ95 per cent, will have tho water and sewerage, with increased rents to pay; the other 5 per cent, will have the water, sewerage and increased rents to receivo. So that you aee, Mr. Editor, it is not such a one-sided arrangement as the railway scheme. Of course, some of tho 95 per cent, will claim that increased rents are a one-sided benefit; but taking into consideration the danger of being called a "kicker" in this city, very fow will ho so foolhardy as to rUk it "Citizen" says tho select 5 per cent, are the largo property owners, not tlie ownen of buildings, improvements or enterprises which build up this city, hut the owners of that class of property for which the Lord sometimes gets tho credit of creating, and therefore they are his agents on earth. Tho 95 por cent, are, the business and professional men, and laborers and mechanics which have built aud are building up this city. Now, I want to any a word to this class, and I will guarantee, if they tako my advice, they will reap tho benofit of tho railway, and the water and sewerage, and iny advice is this: Seo that all taxes which nro paid for tho purposes of paying all city debts and to defray the expense of government, are all levied on the market value of lots, Irrespective of Improvements thereon. The effect of that will lie the killing of speculation in vacant lots, with also the lowering of rente, and it will start a business and building boom the like of which New Westminster has never seen. Of course, the 5 por cont peoplo will oppose that plan, for they will seo that, instead of getting money put Into their pockets by voting and signing bonds they will have to rustle for a li*. ing either as business or professional mon or as do laborers or mechanic1-. But I commend it to the earnest consideration of tho 95 per cent, with overy confidence that If they examine it faithfully and honestly thoy will sec tlmt it will he un unalloyed benefit to them, both individually and collectively, lam, Onn who believes that all public enterprises are possible to be mndo 1'uai.te Hb-jki-ith, Westminster, Jau, 26, It has been deoided that a party of about 60 will go east from Winnipeg to attend the carnival nt Montreal.
