SOME SINGULARITIES , Tho Herald is a great paper for manufacturing coincidences. Apparently It cannot live without them, and yot never by nny elm nee doos it got ono right. "The long arm" Is always pointing west whon it should he north, nnd tho direction Is invariably away from the facts. Tho Herald hns learned that thero is to ho a Conservative Convention hero today which is all right. It also loom ed that todny Is pay day, which it says is a "singular coincidence." How it would havo been singular ns a coincidence tho render Is loft to guess. As n mnttor of fact It Is a singular mistake, oven in a Journal whore mistakes have ceased to bo singular and the pity of It is thnt a whole lot of labored smartness and lop-sided "humor is absolutely wnstod. Thore Is another supposition in tho articlo that Mr. Haw- thornthwfltto wilt cimtlmio his "pro- solyttng." Surely not. Much ns lie hns to answer'for politically It is unthinkable thnt tho Socialist Ibnder would do anything so utterly utterly utter. It sounds simply horrid whatever it mny be.

In the book the reader does not feel all thu improbabilities the unr_aU_a_.il.- ly of many of the scenes uud of the cardinal idea iu the double personality of tho leading character which the istuge version at once brings into prominence, From the trite truism that no man is all good or wholly evil, Stevenson has- created a character which ut its bost is Ur.

The sudden change from one to the other iu tho flrst scene of tho lirst u,.t in which Jekyll or- rather Hyde, a '.tempts the death of his liaucee aud' actually murders her father, is .hardly realisable. , Thero lias been nothing to curry it oil, to suggest what was coming und' it leaves the audience wholly a_uu_-1 ed if not oven inclined to laugh at a development so bizarre aud outre. - Then comes a sudden change ut Dr Jckyll's house, the transformation, the surprise of which kills Dr. Laug- duii, and the audience is prepared Ior the passing uf Hydo, The intrusion of Alico is u dramatic mistake. The scene belongs to Jekyll. The double personality has become not only understandable but realisable and tlie last struggles uf this tortured soul is as grim a piece of realism as anyone could wish to see.

According to tho contemporary pr<*8 there is evory probability of iron-works being erected on the Island. A Mr. Shadforth lias Paid the Island a visit, and ho is very optim istic concerning tho whole scheme. This, of course, is not the lirst time that such enterprise hus been talked of, and dttme Rumor with her thousand tongues huve oven breathed tho location and the sito on which tlio work* were to he erected. Naturally a little scepticism has been generated in the average mind as the result of all these unfounded stories. . lt may even be that the Shadforth scheme may never materialize. But such on enterprise is bound to come to tlie Island. Tlio wonder is that the works havo hot been in full blast for yeara, and it would be the part of wisdom for this city to look Into . the proposed scheme with all serious- Tho first point to be taken Into consideration is that it is inevitable that eooner or later iron works will be started on the ieland. .The coal and the iron industries have ever gone hand into hand, and the smelters and furnaces must be located con venient to the coal supply. The other great determining factor, even mor* important than the ore supply, is the facility for shipment of the finished product. The Island satisfies ull these requirement*, and the choice ot a site would seem to lie between Ladyimith, Nanaimo and Union Bay. There is not tbs least doubt that our friends ln Nanaimo will be after the business. The enterprise is already being talked over and immediate steps will <b* taken to Impress upon the promoter* all th* advantages Nanaimo oiler* Ior the location of such un industry, This is the proper spirit in which to approach such a subject. Such an enterprise means a great deal to tb* Island generally, und in Itself should prove the making of whatever city I* fortunate enough to secure it* location. The ouastion we have got to ask 1* why not Ladysmith-? There is certainly not a town on the Island which can oiler the same advantages. Cool supply, access to. the foreshore, harborage facilities-the three vital factors to the success of a blast furT naos nre all here, and with advantages not to lie excelled on the Ieland. More than this, the mountains back of the city ore declared by prospoctors to contain vast Quantities ol Iron, it may be that we havo every requisite right at hand for the operation of a large ' Iron works, and all its correlated industries. Tho Ilrst thing to do I* to bring our claims for consideration, und all our natural advantages before th* notice of the gentlemen who ore Interested In tho promotion of tho enterprise. Tho question could lie and ought to be, tak*n up by both the Clti-iona' Loague nnd the City Council. The Leagu* apparently hns been overpowered by tie summer heat. Hero Is something to roue* It from It* Inactivity nnd the sooner It gets down to business the better. from the residence of hls fonner wife at Versailles. Maitrs Bonuott, counsel lor th* count, yesterday petitioned court to i*_idorse his client's right to retsin Jay temporarily on account of the child* illness, and because of insuf- ticient cure he was receiving at Versailles during the absonso uf hla moths'. Maltre Bonnett told a correspondent ol the Associated Press today that a, decision would be made in a few, days, when he would ask tht court to give the custody of thn children to the count on the, ground that the Prince*, de Sagan was not suitable protector for them inaamiu-Ji a* ahe if* under the complete domination ot Prince de Sagan who is unworthy to hold tb* position ol father to tb* ohildren. "A* pr0oI that Madame Gould was completely dominated by Prince d* Sagan, we will offer her action in travelling ln Italy, th* Revlera and to England In company with the Prince de Sagan before she was married to him," Maltre Bonnett declared, "Tha oases will proceed as soon ae the Princess de Sagan retâ-na and announces ber readiness to defend bar inter**tÂ»." ; , 4 ' COAL MEN, IN SESSION.
