K. Mecredy, who had recently returned to the province after a long absence,\njud who was to leave on the following\nmorning for the North. After the supper, Mr. Mecredy escorted Mrs. Gibbons\niu a hack to her home. On arrival at the\nhouse, Mr. Gibbons, who was riding a\nbicycle, came up aud invited Mecredy to\neouie into the house. Thc three went\niuto the sitting room, and then Gibbons\nleft them and went upstairs. He returned armed with a double-bnrrelled gun,\nwhich he hnd loaded two days previously, according to his own story. Mrs.\nGibbons, when she saw fhe gun, warned\nMecredy, who kept his eye on the trigger\nin order to dodge out of the way, if the\nshot wns fired. He snw the trigger pulled, and according to the evidence jumped\nto oue side nnd made for his assailant in\norder to seize tho gun before another\nchargo was fired at him. However, tlio\nother barrel was discharged before ho\nreached Gibbons.

Indeed, except 011 the underbuilding thut Gibbous did intend to hit\nhis man the question of justification\n(which might justly affect the sentence\nlillllCted in I'he event of conviction) could\nnut come up, and should by uo means\nhave been Introduced by the judge to\nthe confusion of the minds of the Jurymen, lu the course of his remarks iu\nthis connection, his lordship said that\nMecredy had admitted thut lie wus iu-\nfamuted witli Mrs. Gibbous, ullhough\nhis evidence wns that his friendship for\nMrs. Gibbons was entirely platonic. llis\nlordship added that thu idea of u mau\ninterfering between husband aud wife,\nno matter what I he character ur hnbils\nof the husband might be, did not accord\nwith llic Canadian idea of marriage.

Company is an enterprising business\nconcern, and entitled to all the profits it\ncam earn. j ^JCJt\nThere is considerable speculation in\nEuropean courts as to the probable outcome of the Russo-Japanese conference\nat Washington. Russia's tone has become decidedly stronger during the past\nweek, and while M. Witte's commission\nis believed to give him wide powers, there\nis a limit to the .erins which he can\naccept, lt is very doubtful if Russia\nwill consent to pay a heavy indemnity.\nThe war has cost her vast sums of\nmoney, practically annihilated her navy\nand destroyed property of immeuse value\niu Manchuria. It is true that Russia's\nresources are very large, but it would be\ndifficult to raise money for a big war indemnity. Moreover, If Russia is to lose\nManchuria, she might as well decline to\npay any indemnity, for it is difficult to\nsee how Japan could enforce payment.\nThe state of war between the two countries might continue indefinitely without\nmuch actual fighting. Very little is\nknown in regard to Japan's financial condition, but it is obvious that the war\nmust have been a fearful drain upon the\nresources of the country.\nWe shal never be able to understand\nwhy persons accused of crimes elect for\nspeedy trial iiu this province. With a\njury and a judge, convictions are becoming more and more difficulty to secure, but the County court judges are\nvery different propositions. The latest\n\"victim\" of the \"speedy trial\" is John\nHelder^a bad lot, no doubt\u00E2\u0080\u0094who has\nbeen sent up for 18 months by his honor\nJudge Lampman for getting money and\nother things on false pretences. By the\nway, people in this country much prefer\na man who is inclined to commit violent\noffenses such as rape and murder to one\nwho takes advantage of tlie had judgment of business men and gets goods on\ncredit for which he cannot pay. People\nseem to think more of their dollars than\nof the lives of their fellow men. Helder\nsecured credit at a local hotel for several\nmonths, bought jewelry \"ou tick,\" and\nborrowed money on the strength of a\nfairy story about a legacy that was\ncoming to him. He probably is a weak-\nminded young man without principle, but\nhe is not al criminal in the ordinary sense\nof tlie term. During his residence in gaol,\nHelder may think with envy of the\nliberty enjoyed by a number of men,\nguilty of much worse crimes than securing board and lodging free and borrowing\nmoney from acquaintances, and who have\nrecently been acquitted by juries in Vancouver and Victoria. We shall soon consider that prisoners electing for speedy\ntrial are entitled to a term in the asylum\ninstead of in gaol.

If she is so regarded in\nCanada, thut perhaps may constitute Mr.\nJustice Morrison's conception of the\nCanadian idea of marriage. If a husband neglects his wife she is quite\nI.kely to have friends of whom the husband disapproves, but it is the husband's\nfault. Morever, bis lordship remarked tliat if Mrs. Gibbons had cause of\ncomplaint against her husband, she hud\nher remedy in the courts. The sam-.\nremedy was open to Gibbons if Mecredy\nwas trying to alienate his wife's affections. No man has a right to fake tlie\nlaw into his own hands. All this is\nentirely beside the question which the\njury had to consider, but as his lord-\njbip dilated upon it we may be excused\nif wo point out that there are two sides\nto the question. Be it also borne in\niriud that the defence expressly denied\nthat there was any imputation that improper relations, morally, existed between Mrs. Gibbons and Mecredy.\nBefore describing the manner in which\nMr. Justice Morrison suggested an explanation of the facts which would accord with the innocence of the accused,\nwe will give a resume of the evidence for\nthe defence. The evidence of the accused\nwas that he had on a previous occasion\nrequested Mecredy to cease his attentions to Mrs. Gibbons. On the evening\nof the shooting he met Mecredy and Mrs.\nGibbons at the gateway of the house and\nasked Mecredy to come in, as he wanted\n\"a word with him.\" He went upstairs\nfor his gun, and on returning asked\nMecredy why he had \"ruined his home.\"\nHe held the gun pointed in the air, and\ndid not alter its position. Questions as\nto why he had got the gun and why he\nhad discharged it were objected to. In\nsumming up, after a lengthy dissertation on the impropriety of Mecredy's position, already referred to, Mr. Justice\nMorrison suggested to the jury that it\nwns possible that Gibbons had fired in\nself-defence, iu which case he was not to\nbe found guilty. He laid great stress\non the assumption that Gibbons was no\nmatch physically for Mecredy, and that\nhe might have got the gun with a view\nto making a \"fool play\" with it. Then,\ncontinued the judge, on arriving in the\nroom it wns reasonable to assume that\nMecredy had rushed at him to seize the\ngun, aud had been shot accidentally in\nthe scuffle, or else Intentionaly shot by\nGibbons in self-defence. Another suggestion his lordship made was that\nGibbons had fired across Mecredy's\n\"bows\" in order to frighten him, and that\nwhen Mecredy ran up to him to take the\ngun he had put himself in the way of the\ncharge and was shot contrary to any intention on the part of Gibbons to shoot\nhim, These suggestions, although legitimate enough on the part of counsel for\nthe accused, certainly came strangely\nfrom the lips of a judge. They were unsupported by any evidence, unless partially so by that of the accused\u00E2\u0080\u0094evidence of\nlittle value in auy case\u00E2\u0080\u0094and they had\nthe blemish on the face of them that\nwhile each is equally plausible, only one\ncould possibly be correct, nud the others\nmust therefore be wrong. Anyhow, the\ni jury had heard the evidence, aud auy\nsuggestions of the sort might well have\nbeen left to the minds of the jurymen to\nformulate.\nstairs and fetches a loaded gun, comes\ndown again and fires that gun and the\nguest is shot, the assumption is intent to\nshoot, and that only strong evidence to\nthe contrary would justify a judge in\nrecommending, or a jury in returning, u\nverdict of \"not guilty.\"\nSome of the up-country Liberal papers\nendeavor to explain away the result of\nthe election in Alberni by saying that the\ngovernment won by making all sorts of\nreckless promises to the electors. These\npapers either are misinformed, or are\nendeavoring to mislead their readers for\nreasons that may be guessed. The fact\nis that Messrs. Sloan nnd Smith, on behalf of the Dominion government, were\nauthorized to go to almost any length in\norder to win the seat for the Liberal\ncandidate, nnd there is evidence that they\ncarried ont their mission to the fullest\nextent of their commission. We are sure\nthat Mr. Sloan would be anything but\nhappy if The Week wns to publish a\ntrue account of his proceedings in the\nconstituency. As Mr. Sloan failed to\nbuy up the electorate, we enn affoTd to\nbe generous to Hint politician, but we\nshould advise the oposition papers not to\ngo too far in urging their \"government\npatronage\" cry. Tlie opposition was\nbadly beaten, nnd the beating must be\naccepted. ,\nThe serious part of this method of conducting the trial of persons nccused of\nserious offences is the moral effect upou\nthe community. If because a husband\ndislikes one of his wife's friends, he is\nsafe in shooting at the friend with impunity, there is likely to be quite a lively\ntime in the provinee. The shooting could\nalways be arranged to be accidental.\nThere would be no assumption on the\npart of a jury, when a jealous husband\nfetches a gun which happens to go off\nand wouiiu the man he is jealous ot, tliat\nthe shooting is intentional. Mr. Justice\nMorrison, in the Gibbons case, said: \"Do\nyou believe that the accused is a man\nof sufficient nervous force to eoolly get a\ngun and intentionally shoot his man?\"\nThis question might be put in nny shooting case and the jurymen, not being in\nthe habit of doing that sort of thing\nthemselves, would say: \"No.\" All crime\nseems improbable to people who are not\ncriminals, but unfortunately crimes are\ncommitted, although we may not understand why. We should snppose, according to law, that if a mau deliberately in-\nvltes another into his house, goes up-\nUnfortuuately this is not the only case\nin which a man accused of shootiug at\nanother has been \"lucky,\" to use the\nmildest term. There was the case of\nJohn Roberts, president of the Silverton\nbranch of the Miners' Union, who was\naccused of firing al Mr. ii. S. Davys, a\nwell-known mine manager iu the Slocan,\nwho had earned the dislike of the union\nby employing 'Chinese cooks. This case\nalso was tried before Mr. Justice Morrison at the May Assize court iu Nelson.\nlu 1899 the Silverton union passed certain resolutions, amoug them the following: \"Resolved, that we do not consider\nourselves any better thau the miners ut\nthe Coeur d'Alenes. Outrages and arrogant wrongs have ever provoked and\nshould provoke violence. The history ot\nno country needs to be closely searched\nto find recoixls of violent resistance to\ntyrants. . . The Coeur d'Alenes blew\nup the Bunker Hill mill. Let tyrants\ntake warning.\" This was rescinded and\nexpunged from the minutes of the union,\nafter the arrest of Roberts, and prior to\nhis trial.\nThe evidence at the trial was briefly as\nfollows: Mr. Davys testified that Rob\nerts had threatened him. A witness\ntestified that he saw accused fire the\nshot. Another testified to having seen\naccused, directly after the shot was tired,\nleaving the spot aud goiug iu the direction of his cabiu with a ritle in his hand.\nThe constable and a special constable\ntestified to having found footprints in the\nsnow at the point from which the shot\nwas fired, and to following these footprints to the door of accused's cubin,\nthat they entered the cabiu ami fouud\nthe rubbers of the accused, which corresponded exactly with the tracks; also that\nou a shelf, at the head of accused's bed,\nthey found a 44.40 ritle aud three cartridges therefor, having u metul putch and\nsimilar to the bullet fired, and which\npassed very close to Mr. Davys' head.\nThe witnesses for the defence did not\ndisprove these facts, but testified lo the\nprevious good conduct of the accused.\nThe prisoner, in his evidence, denied the\nstatements of each of the crown witnesses, and accused the constables ot\nhaving manufactured evidence against\nhim. The evidence for the prosecution\nwould seem to a man of ordinary intelligence to be complete and conclusive.\nThe judge, however, refused to allow\nevidence in rebuttal of the accused's\nstatements, and, after summing up in the\nprisoner's favor, said (vide Nelson Tribune, Muy 13th): \"Is it inconceivable to\nthink that Constable Black concocted evidence? Wasn't it monstrous to think\nthat Roberts fired into a roomful of\nmen?\" Certainly someone had so tired,\nso that however \"inconceivable\" or\n\"monstrous\" it might seem to Mr. Justice Morrison, somebody ought to have\nbeen punished for the shooting. The\njury, on the strength of this direction by\nthe judge, brought in a verdict of \"not\nguilty,\" the man being acquitted because\nthe crime seemed \"moustrous\" to Mr.\nJustice Morrison, just as it seemed \"improbable\" that Gibbons would huve the\nnerve to shoot the muu he wus jealous of.\nIn its results the Roberts case was much\nmore serious than thut of Gibbous is\nlikely to be. Mr. Dnvys withdrew iu\ndisgust from his operations in a country\nwere the law could not afford him proper protection; the country received a\nblack eye in mining circles abroad, aud\nthe police received an iutimation that\nsearching for and finding evideuco in a\ncriminal case was likely to be rewarded\nby imputations that they \"concoct\" evidence.\nSomething New\nWe have thought lt desirnble for the\npublic welfare to go iuto this matter at\nsome length, because the encouragement\nof lawless sentiment by the escape of persons who ought to be punished is a\nmenace to the country. British Columbia in. the past has had a splendid reputation ns a law-abiding and law-respecting community, and it is too bad that\ngentlemen from other pnrts of Canada,\nwith perhaps different ideals to ours,\nshould be placed In a position for which\nthey are not fitted. .\o judge who pleads\nfor a prisoner because the crime of which\nhe is accused is \"monstrous\" or \"improbable In view of tho condition of his\nnerves\" should preside at criminal trials.\nMega\nFlower Horns\n-FOR-\nPhonographs\nilust be seen to be\nappreciated.\n-AT-\nFLETCHER BROS.\n93 Government Street.\nD.

The gume wardens,\nprovided by the amendment act of last\nsession, are on the watch nud any per\nsou found in possession of game prior 'o\nthe opening of the season will lie prosj-\ncuted and lined. One case ulreudy bus\noccurred on Vuncuuver Island, two\nmen found iu possession of blue grouse\nhaving been fined ,$20 each.\nThe outlook is excellent for the sportsmen this year, Young pheasants aud\ngrouse are reported plentiful along Iho\nE. & N. railway, in Saanich, and the immediate neighborhood of Victoria, but\nthe season must not be anticipated. We\nare informed that the authorities are\nkeeping u careful lookout for offenders\nagainst thc game laws, aud uo effort\nwill be spared to bring them to book.\nWith the commencement of the new\nera inaugurated by the purchase of tho\nE. & N. railway by the Canadian Pacific. Railway Compnny on Vancouver\nIsland, nn era which is to be mnrked by\nextensive settlement, it is realized that\nthe game of the Island constitutes a\nviiluuble asset, and ils protection becomes a matter iu which all Islanders\nshould be interested.\nA MENACE TO OUR LIBERTIES,\nEven more serious than tlie wanton\nattempt to defeat and embarrass, for\npurely pan'izan reasons, n government\nwhich hns raised British Columbia lo a\nhigher and firmer position than she has\never before occupied in the eyes of the\noutside world, was the serious menace\nI,, provincial righls and liberties, whicli\nwas contained in the desperate efforts\nwhich the Dominion government made in\nthe recent Alberni election to win the\nconstituency in n provincial legislature\nfnr a mnn of its own political stripe.\nPolitical interference from Ottawa in\npurely provincial affairs has come to be\nno new thing since the silver-tongued\nadvocate of the \"sunny ways of patriotism\" lead his party to victory in 1896;\nbut the Alberni incident was a very long\nstep in advance of anything Ihat has\never been attempted before. Alberni is\nnot a large constituency in point' of the\nnumber of votes, and the fact that Sir\nWilfrid Laurier saw tit to send two of\nhis ablest lieutenant's to force down tlie\nthroat's of the electors a man of Sir Wilfrid's own choosing throws a lurid light\nupon the dangerous road the Dominion\n;-o\ eminent is treading\u00E2\u0080\u0094a road not so\nmuch dangerous t'o themselves, us nbso-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 utely destructive to thut liberty of action\n:>nd choice in the conduct of their own\naffairs, which lias been the inalienable\nlight and privilege of every province iu\nI'he Dominion since Confederation,\nTruly, the times seem to have changed\nal Ottawa, ami the possession of unlimited ready nionej and a solid majority of\nsome eighty gentlemen quite intelligent'\nenough to see on which side their bread\nis butlered would appear to make a curious difference between the views of provincial rights held by the Liberal party\nprior to 1S9IJ and the views held by the\nfame immaculate patriots at the present\nday. In the early \"nineties,\" I'he suggestion of Dominion coercion in tlie\naffairs of Manitoba was sufficient to stir\nup every province from the Atlantic to\ntlie Pacilic. Every Liberal paper, every\nLiberal stump-speaker, had but owe cry\n\"Hands off Manitoba,\"\nBut tlie times change uud we change\nwith them, as the old Roman writer\nsays.

MARCON'S REPLY.\nEditor, The Week:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Thauk you for inserting the article last week, showing the\nworkers' position. Permit me to review\nyour editorial nnd nlso that of the Colonist. I did not see you, aud did not\nby word or pen impute any motives for\nrefusal of either paper to publish the\narticle. You say that manual labor has\nlittle to worry about here on the coast.\nDo you not know that employment is\nscarce and very precarious, and that too\nfor honest steady men, willing to turn\ntheir baud to any work, that will enable\nthem to provide food for their families'/\nOuly few single men dare take ou themselves the responsibilities of married life,\nnotwithstanding the free advice given\nthein by Roosevelt and the clerics.\nYou say Socialism is to a great extent\nthe religion of failure, and is unattainable. Are you aware, sir, of its phenomenal growth, all over thc world ? This\nis not a movement confined to one locality or even one country. Germany and\nRussia fear it. France hns used its\npower as an ally to throw off the clerical \"Old Man of the Sea,\" which has\nfor years been riding that couutry to\ndeath. In England, the last six mouths\nhave seen a wonderful movement and\nthe Socialist party there is fast drawing\niuto its ranks the honest thinkers. Even,\nthe Countess of Warwick herself has\ntaken the public platform and hns spoken for this cause. She has also endeavored to force the government to feed\nthe starving school children of Christian\nEngland. I wonder if \"society\" in Victoria would attend her lectures if she\ncame here? What a mental struggle\nwould ensue In their minds! Aguin, nre\nyou prepared to give the lie to Bishop\nMercer, of Tnsmunia, a man who has\nstudied these questions and understands\nthe philosophy of cause nnd effect and\nwho uses these words, \"Socialism has\nmnde us see the falsity and one-sidedness\nof Protestant individualism. Socialism\ntries not to pour medicines down the\nthroat of suffering humanity, but to\nsearch out the root of the disease, to\nstrengthen ihe bonds thnt hold mnn to\nmnn, nnd to stand united, the strong to\nthe weak.\"\nThe great German historian, Mumsen,\nsays: \"To-day this is the only great\nWeiler Bros.\nparty which has a claim to political\nrespect.\"\nNow for the editor of the Colonist, \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nwho, I am glad to say, has treated my\nletters with courtesy, and for whom personally I entertain good feelings and\nesteem. He, like other editors, does not\nown the paper that he writes for, audi\nif they diverge from a line of party]\npolicy, or capitalistic interests as laid\ndown by the owners, the editorial chnir\nfinds a fresh occupant.

In the early days Salt\nSpring Island was a place of refuge for\nrunaway slaves from the United Stntes,\nand tueir descendants still form a considerable settlement on the island. The\nsettlement on Salt Spring has increased\nrapidly during the lust four years. The\nsettlers now number 000, and more are\ncoming in. There still remains a little\nlaud to bo pre-empted in the cranberry\nmarshes, but this is being rapidly taken\nup. There are 00 miles of excellent roads\non the island.\nThe island is well equipped with\nschools and churches. There are five\nchurches, two Anglican, one Koman\nCatholic and two Methodist. Another\nChurch of England is to be built shortly.\nTwo English doctors prn-ctice their profession on the island. Cable connection\nwith Vancouver Island has been made,\nbut just at present the cable is awaiting\nrepairs. The island has many attractions. The scenery is unsurpassed, and\nthe climate delightful. Excellent sport\nis available, and the numerous lakes are\nwell stocked with trout. Cushion lake\ngenerally is considered the best lake to\nfish in, as the trout, although not so\nlarge, take the fly more freely than in\nthe other lakes.

The priu-\nIpal industries of the islands are fa null?, fruit growing, dairying and fishing,\n[though something also is aeconiplish-\n|i in the way of lumbering.

This island is 15 miles long\nIs the crow flies, and about five miles\nJroad. The trunk road which connects\nde north and south ends of the island\nhowever, about 20 miles long, as it\nfdlows the lines of least resistance. The\nlistory of white settlement on the island\ntrout caught in the island lakes range\nfrom one to five pounds. The best time\nto fish is in the spring and fall.\nGrouse, of both the blue aud willow\nvarieties, are to be found iu great numbers, and pheasants also are plentiful,\naud increasing every year. The deer are\nnot so plentiful as iu former years, but\na hunter usually can secure one without\ntoo much hard work.\nOue of the notable attractions of the\nisland is the excellent bathing ufforded iu\ntho numerous bays aud inlets, where the\nwater is delightfully warm\u00E2\u0080\u0094unlike the\ncondition of the sen wnter iu most purls\nof this coast. Visitors should be sure to\nvisit Vesuvius Buy, wnich is considered\nthe most beautiful of nil the Island bays,\nand the bathing tliere is excellent. Another point of interest for Ihe tourist is\nMaxwell mountain. It rises to about\n2,500 feet above sea level, and there is\na good road all the way up. The view\nMereside Farm (Mr. John C.

It\nis somewhat singular, iu that the bauks\nand bottom are of shingle instead of\nearth. St. Mary's lake is the largest on\nthe island, being two miles . long and\nabout three-quarters of a mile wide. It\nis the iavorite haunt of wild ducks and\ngeese.\nThe chief industries of the island are\nfruit growing, poultry raising, dairying\nand sheep raising. All kinds of small\nfruit do well here, especially raspberries,\nbut they are not recommended as profitable unless the prospective grower has a\nlarge family to take the pluce of hired\npickers, who are scarce.

Since the establishment of a\ncreamery, however, the settlers are going\niu more and more for cattle. Fluke, scab,\nfootrot and maggots, thc trials of the\nfarmer, seem to be absolutely unknown\non the island, aud tliere always is a sure\nmarket for the sheep raised.\nSince the creamery was organized,\nsome two years ago. the dairying industry has gone ahead rapidly. The creamery is thoroughly up-to-date in every respect, aud produces about 800 pounds of\nbutter weekly. The fanners are charged\n;i'ii cents per pound tor the making of\ntheir butter, and the creamery ships it\nfor them.

The\ngame was a hard one, and the Victorians were unable to hold their own\nagainst the Americans, who showed\ngreat improvement ou their previous\nform. The game was somewhat rough\nat times, but only one light took place,\nand that was soon stopped.\nff\nThe principal forthcoming event in the\nlocal sporting world is the annual re-\nat'ta of the North Pacific Association of\n'Amateur Oarsmen, which will take-place\non August 11th and 12th at Esquimalt.\nThe 12th will be the big day, as most of\nthe senior events will then be rowed1.\nMost of the junior aud a few of the\nsenior events will come off on the first\nday.\nThe croquet and bowling tournament\nof the Vancouver Lawn Tennis Club\nwas concluded ou Saturday lust.

As an exhibition of cricket the\ngame was hardly up to those played on\nIformer occasions between the two crack\nIciubs of the province. The Victorians\nIwere weak in the field and the visitors\nlacked batting ability. The wicket was\nsplendid, but neither side did much\nscoring, although it looked as if Vancouver might have knocked up a few figures\nid the second innings had time permitted. Mr. Menzies was unable to play\nfor Victoria and his place was taken by\nMr. Ashby, while the visiting team\nlucked tho services of two well known\nplayers, Messrs.

The men\nwere cooking a nieul on the beach wheu\nthey were disturbed by the arrival of the\nl>olice launch, which a very short time\nafter the theft was started oil their\ntrack. Leaving the food they were preparing, as well as a valise and two\ncunts, they took to the bush. Steps were\nal once taken to prevent their escape\nfrom the island by removing all boats\nand placing a boat to patrol the channel\nbetween Gossip aud Galiano islands.\nConstables Munro and Wilkie, with\nether ussistuuee, began a search, but\nfailed to locate the thieves, who had\nprior to the arrival of the police, called\nut Mr. Cayzer's ranch and been supplied\nwith potatoes and water by his daughters. Towards evening, us there is only\ncue well On the island, it was decided to\nwatch it, as it was believed the thieves\nwould be forced to visit it before long.\nA little before dark, Mr. Buckley, of\nMayne Island, arrived and offered to\nrssisi the police, and it was decided to\nleave his boat near the beach, aud keep\nwatch over it for the night, as it was\nconsidered probable the men would try\nio utilize it as u means of escape. Mr.\nJ. Cook, a local fisherman, and others\npatrolled the channel during the night to\nprevent tlie men swimming across, and\nthe constables and Mr. Buckley kept\nwatch neur tlie boat and the well. About\nmidnight tlie crackling of a few sticks\nwarned the watchers that tlie men were\napproaching the well, and the constables crept round the house, leaving\nMr. Buckley to guard the bout. Getting\nclose to tlie well in a crouchiug position\nthey saw u man approach, and calling\nout \"halt\" and \"put up your hands,'\nConstable Wilkie covered the man with\nhis rifle, aud he was easily captured. He\ndeclared he had no companion there, but\na short search revealed him hiding by a\nfence near by, and he was quickly\nhandcuffed to tlie other man. Constable\nMunro took them ou bourd the police\nlaunch, leaving Constable Wilkie and\nMr. Buckiey to continue watching the\nwell and boat for the remainder of the\nnight, but the other man did uot appear.\nAbout noon on Saturday one of the\nMisses Cayzer, who was crossing in a\nboat from Galiano, saw fhe man on tlie\nbluff amongst the trees', and was trying\nto point out the place to the constable\nwhen Mr. Cook arrived at' the beach\nwith the man iu his boat. It appears\nthat whilst he was patrolling the channel he saw the man, and covering him\nwith his rifle made him put up his bands\nand come info his boat.\nThe men were taken to New Westminster in the police launch and sentenced to the penitentiary by Judge\nHenderson, of the County court. The\npenitentiary officials recognized one of\nthe men, Geo. Harris, as an old offender,\nlelensed only two weeks ago from\nWalla Walla. Had the judge known\nhis identity lie would have been put\nr.way for more than the two yenrs and\nnine months allotted him. He is a criminal who has spent most of his life in\ndifferent prisons.\nThe Earl of Wemyss delivered a somewhat unorthodox speech iu the House of\nLords recently in opposing the second\nreading of a bill empowering magistrates to fix the closing hours of public\nhouses. \"A distinguished professor informs me,\" said His Lordship, \"that\nover-eating causes as serious effects as\nexcessive drinking, and my own medical\nman endorses that opinion. There are\nfigures showing that the pure water\ndrinker lives an average of 57 years,\nwhile unmitigated drunkards like Jane\nCakebread live two years longer, and\nthe moderate drinker twelve years\nlonger.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1905.\nFashions, Prills and Fancies.\nL,ife in the Woods is Attractive to the L,adies\u00E2\u0080\u0094Concerning\nHair Ornaments and Summer Dress Colors.\nBy \" Babette \"\nDear Madge.\u00E2\u0080\u0094This is indeed a life- of\ncontrasts, and the philosopher takes it\nas it conies\u00E2\u0080\u0094the sweet with the bitter,\nbut tbe bitter-sweet always. Lust week,\n1 had a couple of striking extremes in\ni-xperience; one duy in the hot dusty\ntown, doing my usuul weekly shopping,\nand trying uiy best to keep cool, aud on\nthe same afternoon u smart \"tea party\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2n an equally smart, but stuffy drawing\n100m; iu the evening a concert iu a small\nhall crowded to tlie doors. 1 was wedged\ninto I'he tenth row, between Iwo portly\npersons. But the next duy, Madge, was\nspent miles away from town, in a camp\nnear the woods, and a contrast indeed,\none to give thanks for, by comparison.\nThe morning being oue that wus blue up\n;u the sky with a gracious blaze of sunshine. Yellow-green foliage trimmed the\nrejuvenated oaks standing sentinel about\nour quaint log hut; while down iu the\ninarsh-nieadow, buttercups made a\ncioth-of-gold field of their own. Little\nclearings in the woods were splashed\nWilh bright patches of wild flowers, and\ntlie dew-wet mosses emitted their delicious earth-fragrance. Verily, the life of\nwoods exercises a witchery over one's\nsenses. Then the birds\u00E2\u0080\u0094their tuneful\ngossip beginning with early wakening\nmorn, to linger on with musical inter-\nmittence UU twilight. What a blessed\nexchange all this for the hot dusty\nM'reets, the incessant noise of the trams\nend the endless tramp of hurrying\nhumanity ou tho pavement! In winter\nthe town lias its alleviations, I'll admit,\nbut as a perennial institution the country\niu spring and summer is decidedly the\nthing. People began to realise this witli\nthe introduction of bicycles, but it has\ntaken the motor to complete the con-\nouest, with the inevitable consequence\nthat town houses just now are at a decided discount, while huts and cottages,\nbe they ever so antiquated and dilapidated, are the desire of all.\nApropos of my sojourn in Uie woods, I\nmust fell you of a new hair brush that\n1 purchased at Terry & Marrett's before\nleaving town, and 1 must say it lias\nproved an invaluable accessory to my\ntravelling bag. lias't ever used a hair\nbrush with whalebone bristles? If you\nhave not, then let me say Uial there is\nyet a \"treat in store\" for you at a very\nreasonable price. But really these\nbrushes are splendid. Instead of one\nlugging away at the snarls iu one's hair\nwith a fragile silver-rimmed comb, Terrified that every minute it will snap in\ntwo; one has simply to brush carefull.1'\nwith oue of these new brushes, and thi\nsnarls disappear like magic. Terry &\nMarett also are in possession of a delightful skin food aud cream, 1'hiit removes tan and freckles. It is called Dr.\nCook's Skin Food and Massage Cream.\nand I find it particularly cooling ani\nhealing for sunburn.\nTho longer I live, Madge, the more fl'u\nI impressed with the necessity for the\nexercise of individual discretion in tbe\ndevice of hair ornaments. The mistake\nwhich so many people make is overdoing\nit, and my last visit to Iho theatre was\nspoilt by a head in front of me. I am\nnot' prepared to vouch for every detail,\nbut there was a wisp of tulle, an\nulgrotte, quite a delightful diamond\nspray, and a coy rosebud\u00E2\u0080\u0094all ou one\npoor bead, which, bear up bravely as II\nmight, looked distinctly overcrowded,\nOu the whole, failing a really nice\njewel, with an aigrette to give height\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe very tail upstanding ones are decidedly smart. I am inclined to think Ihe\nmajority of women ure well advised lo\nconfine their attention to a jewelled\ncomb or two. These dress the hair\nthemselves, aud in tortoiseshell studded\nwith gems they are exquisitely decorative. I have noticed some very pretty\ncombs of this description in some of our\njewellery stores, and they quite look my\nfancy. Yet above a young face nothing\nkokg prettier than a coronal of wee\nrosebuds. But I confess I find I'he same\nthing allied to mature charms a trifle\ninsipid. A solitary upstanding ostrich\ntip looks well on sonic heads, anil for\nwomen who eau wear black the present\nfnncy for jet has given us some very\neft'ectivo designs in this. Mrs. C. Kosche,\non Douglas street, has some very pretty\nornaments for the hair. I have seen\nsome very dainty ones in her store.\nOf course the city nt this time of Ihe\nyear is crowded with tourists, nnd every\nday oue can see numbers of sightseers\nand collectors in Weiler Bros, investing\nin pretty Japanese china, quaint English oak ware and dainl'y silver novelties. Their Koyal Doulton aud Wedgwood ware are also iu great demand, and\ntheir stock of Armenian novelties is\nquite Hie most fascinating I have ever\nseen. I also noticed in this store some\nbeautiful antique Chinese embroideries.\nIt is indeed true that during the last ten\nyears the number of intelligent collectors\nof old embroideries, quaint pott'ery, old\nfurniture, etc., has increased a thousandfold. The man in the street has been\ni aught with the idea that to collect\nantiquities is the thing to do. A good\ndeal of space has been given in illustrat\ncd juornals to foster the growing taste\nfor the antique, and there have always\nbeen collectors who were experts, and\nwho quietly pursued their hobby. There\nhave beeu noblemen who collected mezzotints or Sevres in lieu of putting money\ni'u fhe turf, and who assidiously studied\nMcArdell prints or \"rose Du Barry pate\ntindro\" with a genuine love for their\ncollection. I, too, Madge, have a love for\nIhe antique and artistic, but alas! my\npurse will not permit' me indulging to my\nheart's desire.\nIn the line of jewellery, I believe the\nnewest pearl dog-collars are to appear\nwithout the diamond slide of much\nesteemed and becoming custom. I have\nsten several strung on thin slides of\n:;:ofher-o'-pearl, which is almost invisible, aud tlie entirely white effect is immensely charming. How beautifully\nlight, too, is modern jewellery, so lace-\nI'ke in its effects compared with some of\nthe ugly ponderosities of a time within\nirost of our memories, when bracelets\nwere manacles, tiaras were fenders, and\nbrooches as large as egg-plates. Aud\nlet us rejoice, Madge, that' the heavy old-\nlashioued ear drops of gold are things of\nthe past, and may they ever remain so.\nAnd now to dress and fashion, and a\nword or two about what is worn. Red\nis at present very fashionable, formerly\nit was a color regarded as appropriate\nfor winter or late autumn wear. Nowadays the coming of summer is the signal\nfor the appearance of bright red gowns,\ncoiffures and sunshades, aud once the\neye has grown accustomed to the vivid\nshade, it is accepted a\u00C2\u00AE the correct thing\nunder a blazing sun. I saw a silk dress\nthe other day in poppy-red tone, with\nvery small white check, and the usual\nprofusion of gauzing and frilling. The\nbodice was cut very low over a yoke of\nivory Indian muslin, embroidered in\nraised white floral design. The hat worn\nwas a tine black chip, flat and tilted up\nat the back, where At was filled ia with\nloops of red velvet ribbon, and was finished on the brim by a wreath of field\nlowers, consisting of red poppies, corn\ntkwers, etc., mixed in plentifully with\ngrasses. The \"tout ensemble\" was decidedly \"chic\" and French}'. You asked\nmo about the ombre effects iu your last\nletter; well 1 must confess that I do not\ncare for this style. The popularity of\nshot uud chameleon materials has\naccustomed the eye and tlie taste to such\ndelicate changing of tone thnt the ombre\neffects now appear almost crude. Some\nevening gowns in chiffon, shaded very\ngradually to a much darker color, were\npretty, and the idea promised to be fashionable, but it Inns not proved so. One\nof the best examples of tho ombre gowns\nI hnvo seen was made of soft satui\nniousseliiie. The skirt was rather narrow\nflounces, beginniing at tbe waist in a\nvery light hue of rose, and having each\nflounce darker towards tlie foot. A\nniching of inch-wide chene ribbon edged\nevery flounce, and wns used profusely on\nthe bodice mixed iu with tambour lace, on\nwhich were little satin flowers. Everything about Ihe dress hnd tho cachet of\na first-class! hand, yet it was not pleasing,\nand one can only suppose that this arose\nfrom tho fact alluded to\u00E2\u0080\u0094thnt the more\nSubtle ami artistic variation of color in\nwoven fabrics has brought us to a more\ncorrect laste in such matters.\nThe Intest novelty in the musical line,\nand one that I am sure will interest you,\nis the new phoiiogrnph Hint is for sale at\nFletcher Bros., Government street, It is\ncalled the \"Mega Flower Horn,\" and is\nas light as paper, made in imitation of a\nhuge lily in licautiful colors, and is certainly a great sound producer. For\nnovelties of this kind and the latest songs\nand sheet music, I tliiiuk Fletcher Bros.\nis tlie place to go.\n1 am off to the tenuis tournament this\nafternoon, so must bid you \"Au revoir\"\nfor tlie present. Next week I will tell\nyou of some of tire smart gowns I hope\nto see at the courts.\n\"BABETTE.\"\nKootenay Notes.\nTrials, Tourists and Trouble in Nelson\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nThe Fruit and Mining Industries.\nNelson, July 25.\nMan is never happy except he is kicking about some oue thing or another.\nNelson is doing excellently well just\nuow, and the only trouble people have is\nthe heat. Not that there is much to\nthat, for although the days are sometimes warm yet there is always a cool\nevening to counterbalance, aud the temperature never yet has gone up beyond\n73.5, average, Fahrenheit, for auy day.\nThat figure was the record, and was established on Sunday last.\nThe busiest men in Nelson are the\nlawyers and the mining experts. The\nhotels, each and every one, are crammed\nfull of guests, chief among whom are E.\nP. Davis, Bodwell and Joe Martin, the\nlatter redoubtable just having returned\nto the coast after having come off second\nbest in the Providence mining case of\nGreenwood and Chicago. Then there are\nmining experts too numerous to mention, whose technicalities fill the court\nroom with breathless awe. The Providence mining case resulted badly for the\nGreenwood men who tried to wrest control from the Chicago owners, who really\nhave the majority of the shares. The\nattempt was bold and like mnny uuother\nbold thing had to be bolstered up with\nactions which may be pronounced shady.\nMr. Justice Irving was uot mealy-\nmouthed about these gentlemen and their\nmethods, aud in fact was within an ace\nof turning them over to the crown prosecutor, whoever that official may be, but\nthought better of it and allowed the\ncrown prosecutor lo do his own work.\nOf course, if the crown prosecutor fails\niu a conviction ho doesn't feel snubbed\nand a judge might. And that would\nnever do.\nMr. Justice Irving failed in giviug a\njudgment as to the desire of the West\nKootenay Power & Light Company to\nhave their injunction1 against the building of the city power plaut (that's how\nNelson's mayor puts it), but it will probably be sent up to Nelson before long.\nJudging from the evidence submitted as\nau ignorant layman may without contempt of court it seems that the city is\nsure to win out.\nChief Justice Hunter is now here over\nthe famous Slocan Star mining case,\nwhich is arising from the alleged trespass of the Slocan Star into a neighboring claim. The Slocan Star's defence\nis that they hud a right to follow their\nveiu wherever it led, their property being crown grauted under tbe old law\ngiviug extra lateral rights. The case is\nlikely to last clear through the week and\nmay be run on into the next. As the\nweather is warm the Chief Justice is\ntaking a morning session from 9 o'clock\nto 1 p.m., for which all concerned are\nblessing his wisdom. It will be observed that the wisdom in this case is\nnot so much judicial as common sense,\ntwo things adjectival which are not always synonymous.\nThere is not much to report this week\nin mining matters. The Poplar people\nare still cock-n-hoop over the discoveries\nmnde upon the Swede group} nud plenty\nof inquiries are coming into the country and the proprietors nre sending an\nexhibit of the free gold ore down to the\nPortland exhibition. It is likely thut\nthe Hull Mines smelter will enlarge extensively before the end of the yenr.\nThings nre coming the way of the lead\nminor. Lend is up to u higher point\nthan it has been for years, nnd moreover\nthe duty on manufactured products of\nlead is also helping. A good deal of\nprospecting and mining is going on in the\nYmir country, nnd some interesting nnd\nremunerative discoveries nre still being\nmade. Constant Fernnu is building a\nzinc smelter in Frnnk, nnd it is stnted\nthat he will buy some properties on the\nlake in order to ensure u supply of ore\nto his works. The Bluebell, nenr Ains-\nworth, is mentioned in this connection,\nBusiness men report good things of\ntho Kootenny generally. Taking one\narticle, ment, it is reported thnt July is\nn record month for the year both in\nNelson and in Itosslnnd nnd is far and\nawny ahead in sales of this month last\nyear.\ni This Space Reserved for\n1 Hotel Dominion, victoria, B.e.\nThe fruit industry is increasing rapidly, as to demand. The strawberry crop\nthis year seems to have made Kooteuay's\nreputation, and demands for all kinds\nof fruit are coming iu from the Northwest and Manitoba, orders that cannot\nnearly be filled and which are stimulating the ranchers to fresh exertions for\nthe year to come.\nPeace, or armed neutrality, exists iu\nmunicipal circles, the case of Coulter\nhaving been transferred to Vancouver,\nwhere it comes up for hearing on August\n10th.\n, Nelson, Aug. 1.\nThe pnst week hi Nelson was marked\nby tlie trial of the celebrated Slocan Star-\nSUversmith mining case, in which quite\na galaxy of legal talent, local and of the\ncoast, was refulgent. There was Chief\nJustice Hunter and E. V. Bodwell aud\nE. P. Davis, to say nothing of S. S. Taylor and It. S. Lennie, of local fame. The\nIssue was the old one: The Slocan Star\nhad gone beyond its boundary lines, and\nhad entered upon the Silversmith and hud\nextracted therefrom ore to the extent of\n$500,000. At least that is what the complainants averred. The whole question\nwas whether the Slocan Star had or had\nuot followed its own vein. Experts ou\nthe one side swore up and down that it\nhad. Experts on the other side cheerfully aftiruied the reverse. The air was\nthick with terms scientific and otherwise. Chief Justice Hunter didn't look\npleased. The court room was very\nhot aud counsel waxed warm, Davis evidently wanting to settle some old time\ncoast feud with Bodwell. It would have\nbeeu much better had they all gone\na-fisbiug. No decision was really arrived\nat. But Davis got the worst of it, which\nmeans1 that the Slocan \"Star will probably\nfeel that it has won, Further argument\nhas to be henrd, and the Chief Justice\nhas yet to be convinced. At present he\nsays that he thinks the Slocan Star experts are much the more convincing.\n...terwards the Chief Justice, along with\na lot more tourists who have suddenly\ndiscovered Nelson, and are telling all\ntheir friends of their find, went fishing.\nThe hotel-keepers naturally do uot object,\nas this discovery is keeping their places\nfull.\nOn top of this warm work there has\nbeen ,a number of discoveries of good ore\nrecently, and Houston's paper comments\nthusly: \"The weather is really too warm\nfor discoveries of gold of more than\n6,000 ounces to the ton or of silver of\n3,000 ounces.\" The real trouble is that\nHouston is too busy with his mayoral\nsquabbles to pay any attention to the\nmining news. There has been another\ncouncil meeting, and ns a result Driver\nCoulter, of the fire department, was\nagain fired by Houston and again reinstated by the council. This is for the\neighth time. The council has refused to\npass the pay cheque of the mayor's\nnominee, but the mayor's friends claim\nhe will be paid just Uie same, as the\nmayor has the right under a resolution\nto pny any small amount less than $100\nwithout reference to th* council.\nIn the meantime the mayor has secured\nn strip of foreshore from E. Crow Baker\nfor a. pnrk, and the baud plays there on\nSundays, having begun on Sunday last.\nNow: the opposite faction wanted another\npnrk, jind the mayor got this one out on\nhis own, and told the council nbout it\nnf forwards. The mayor's friends are\nswearing profusely. Some vandal tarred\non Saturday night all of John Houston's\nnew park seats to make it pleasant for\nthe park goers. They ought to have 1\nbeen at Sunday school or prayer meet-1\ning anyway! Luckily Ihe Lord's Day Al-'J\nlianee is not strong in Nelson, having re-1\nccutly lost their president. However, itj\njust shows the character of the faction J\nlighting here.\nThe fruit growers are goiug roundJ\ndaily with their noses held higher andl\nhigher in Uie air. The strawberry cropj\nwas a bumper, the raspberries are exceeding all expectation, and the trees arel\nliterally loaded with apples and plums,]\nprunes -and pears, which will come on the j\nmarket later on. The market, represent-1\ned by the Northwest, is howling for J\nKooleuuy fruit, and the growers cannot 1\nbegin to fill the demand. To top things!\nan order came in this week from the Old]\nCountry. Hence these airs which are,!\nrapidly becoming insufferable. This may!\npossibly supply a solution of the strikes,]\nas the mining men are looking to theirl\nlaurels, for a fruit crop which will run!\nwell iuto $100,000 is not to be sneezed J\nat.\nTHUEYV DOWN A BUILDING.\nFurious Gust of Wind Did Daruuge ln|\nHedley.\nOu July 2^ Hedley City had a most pecu-I\nliar visitation iu the shupe of a sudden!\nsquall, which seemed local iu Us appliea-l\ntlou, but sudden uud terrific lu Its eBlect.f\nTlie duy had beeu Intensely tiot, but iu thej\nafternoon sigus of u rulnsturm became up-J\nparent.
