One thing\nIs certain, that while a man may have\npuch a twist in his make-up that he\npees everything with a squint, he will\nnever be able to induce the public to\nperform the same optical gymnastics\nIwhen trying to discover the simple\nItruth. Convicted, not out of the\n[mouth of their opponents, but by\nItheir own supporters of having deliberately made a false statement of\n[fact, the gentlemen responsible for\nlthe utterances of the Liberal Press\n[in Victoria instead of explaining or\nlapologizing for their position, endeavored to cover a disgraceful retreat\n[by a heavy artillery fire. There was\n[plenty of noise, and plenty of smoke,\n[but they served ill to conceal the true\n[state of affairs. Billingsgate is a poor\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0substitute for English, and insulting\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0innuendo is the universal badge of the\n[creature, who only dares to suggest,\n[where a man would proclaim. The\n[Victoria Times has wound up a campaign of false statement, vulgar language and slanderous personal abuse\nby making additional false statements\n[devoid of the least coloring of truth,\n|which the writer must have known to\nbe false when he made them, but\nvhich he was willing to put forth in\nJthe hope that there might be in Vic-\nItoria one mind sufficiently depraved\nf,0 harbor similar thoughts; we believe\nhe has failed to discover his duplicate. The editor of the Vancouver\niforld hns, at any rate for the mo-\nnent, abandoned the contest, and is\npleased to indicate his approval of\nlthe gentleman available for\nconducting the investigation for which\nne professed to be so anxious, but it\nJs not a little amusing to read the\nfclosing sentences of his valedictory in\n[which he declares that \"much evidence of a startling character will be\nOffered by witnesses of the highest\nKharacter, whose words are as good as\nTfcheir bonds.\" It is as we have all\nalong expected; neither the editor of\nlhe Vancouver World, nor the Victoria Times proposes to give evidence.\nthe conclusion that they have graduated in the same school.

The\nconditions complained of are due mainly\nto the escape of political gas in a particularly noxious and offensive form.\nThe comedy has been played pretty low\ndown, and the manufacturers of shoddy\nnews and slanderous epithets have been\nhard pressed to maintain the consistent\nvulgarity of their effusions. Innocent\nof any political experience or knowledge\nI was at first scared into thinking that\nthe scribbling gentlemen really believed\nthat there was a modicum of truth in\n.their utterances; I have since learned\nthat this is all in the game, and is only\nintended to be taken seriously by ten-\nderfeet like myself. Bye and bye I\nhope to be able to adjust my view point\nto the somewhat novel and exasperating\nconditions; meanwhile I join in the fervent wish of all Bohemians that the\nstorm may clear the air, so that we may\nat least have breathing space minus\nsulphur.\nVictoria has been charged with being\na non-musical city; the imputation was\nfoolish and easily disproved. The recent performance of the Arion Club,\nand the splendid success attending the\nhighest class musical entertainments\nheld here for many years, have removed\nthat reproach. I have heard it stated\nin select circles that Victoria is not appreciative of art in other forms, and\nthe lack of a public picture gallery in\na city of its age and importance might\nlend color to the charge. This week,\nhowever, any doubts which one may\nhave had on the subject have been dispelled by an occurrence as impressive as\nit was unexpected.\nThe city authorities in the interests of\nhigh art, and in order to encourage\nthe study of the masterpieces of mo'd-\nem painters have caused a splendid\nspecimen of waler color work to be displayed at James Bay causeway. The\ncanvas is large, probably 12 ft. by io fl.\nIt portrays a touching episode in Western life. Two gentlemen of the road,\nclad in the remnants of picturesque\nhabiliments are comparing notes on the\nexcellence of a specific, the application\nof which is calculated to recall the memory of the immortal dreamer of Bedford. As these latter day pilgrims make\ntheir progress under difficulties over the\nrailroad tics they chuckle at the efficacy\nof the remedy which to judge from their\ncheerful faces makes life a joy, and toil a\npleasure. Needless to say tlie other details of the landscape are filled in with\nequal fidelity and beauty, and a colored\nblue-jay gazes with rapid outline upon\nthe touching scene. Thousands of passers-by pause to stare at thc masterpiece,\n:ind to pay their tribute to such a noble\nexample of imported art. I have vainly\nendeavored to procure a duplicate for\nmy own studio, and 1 am therefore unable to invite my friends to study it,\nunobserved by the vulgar gaze of the\nmultitude, but it still decorates James\niiay causeway and no doubt Mayor\nMorley believes it to be a thing oi\nbeauty, though not being carved in\nstone i fear that it will not remain a\njoy forever.\nWhen 1 am not too lazy, or otherwise\nwhen 1 am recovering from a lit oi\nlaziness, 1 sometimes take a gentle stroll\nin thc James Bay section of the city; 1\nprefer this section because there are no\nhills to climb and the improvements in\nroadways and sidewalks are rapidly\nmaking it the most attractive district in\nthe city. In common with many strollers 1 am looking forward to the time\nwhen Government street will be completed right through to the Dallas road,\nforming a line approach to the best marine drive in the West. Just how long\nit will take to complete the southerly\nextension I don't know, but I am prepared to join in a howl against the manlier in which the section extending from\nthe Cameron property towards the sea,\nhas been dealt with by the civic authorities. At the far end a row of posts\nhas been put in to prevent vehicular\ntraffic; the end nearest the sea has been\nleft open, a new sidewalk has been graded between these points, and by a careful measurement the opening at the\nsouth end has been left wide enough to\nallow a team passing through. This\nnicety of adjustment results in constant\ntraffic and the ploughing up of the sidewalk. It would cost $2 or less to put in\nanother post or to remove all the posts,\nwhich would be far more sensible, and\nallow the traffic to pass through. Is\nit too much to hope tha tthis very modest and inexpensive request may be\ncomplied with.\nI have before time had the temerity to\ncriticize Victorian organizations for\nbringing in outsiders to do something\nthat could be done much better by residents of the city. Just how some artists\nget their reputation is a perpetual source\nof wonder. Both these reflections are\nemphasized by a little incident that occurred in connection with the annual\nfestival of the Provincial pedagogues.\nA. Mr. James Hughes of Toronto was\nbrought down with a great flourish of\ntrumpets, and if I mistake not, so great\na draw was he considered that his expenses were generously paid. He talked\nEducation and gave a desultory chat on Dickens devoid of\nliterary merit, or originality, but\nafter all this grand-stand plav for\nsome reason which neither he nor the\nofficials of the convention saw fit to announce he returned unexpectedly, before the chief perfomance took place.\nAs far as one can judge there is no reason to regret this amusing denouement,\na conclusion which may be fairly deduced by the experienced observer, and\nset forth in an aphorism not unlike those\nto be found in the Pilgrim's scrip, so\ndear to the heart of Meredith's hero; il\nwould run thus: \"When men call thee\nconreited, and women say thou lookest\nwell on the platform, it is time to gel\n(by hair cut.\"\nBOHEMIAN.\nAT GORGE PARK.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Nightly.

I was very pleased when,\nin moments of forgetfulness, she called\nme \"my lady\" instead of \"Madam,\" and\nshe usually happend to do this when I\nwas pointing out dust in the corners.\nYes, everything in its little way was\nideal, except for Tim's golf, and extravagant tendencies. Certainly it was\nvery good of him to let me take charge\nof his cheque book, so that I knew he\ncould never spend more than a sovereign without my being aware of the\nfact; but he was too fond of asking\nfor that said elongated volume in order\nto fill up various amounts owing to\n\"pros,\" athletic outfitters, or some fiendish firm who had just invented! a new\n3s. rubber-cored ball!\nOf course, I couldn't say anything (at\nleast, not much), but it worried me,\nand would, in time, bring wrinkles and\nlines to my face, I felt convinced.\nOne evening, when we were sitting\ndown for a cosy after-dinner cigarette\nand chat, I noticed a certain restlessness, combined with forcedi geniality, in\nmy husband's manner\u00E2\u0080\u0094symptoms with\nwhich I was somewhat familiar, seeing\nthey usually presaged a request that I'd\n\"just\u00E2\u0080\u0094er\u00E2\u0080\u0094bring down the cheque-book\nwhen I happened to be coming.\"\n\"By Jove!

We still have a way of doing\nthat sort of thing, though now we have\nbeen married quite ten months, and\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nOh! it's very sweet!\nAfter this nothing more was sairl\nabout the Rambler's Green Club, and\nif it hadl not been for a grim and terrible reminder whicfi confronted m^\nthree days later, I should have forgotten the incident altogether.\nBut that was not to be\u00E2\u0080\u0094there could\nbe no forgetfulness when, on looking\nover Tim's coats to see that they were\nproperly brushed, and that no buttons\nwere missing, I came face to face with\nthe cruel, treacherous truth!\nThere it was, lying face upwards on\nthe floor, just as it had fallen from his\npocket. I couldn't help seeing it, and\nreading the frustrating printed and\nwritten words:\n\"Received of T.

But there is one great objection\u00E2\u0080\u0094dust. In buying book cases it is\nwell to avoid those with the top shelf\nhaving a piece extending across the upper part, so that the books have to be\nplaced sideways to get them on the slHf\nwhich, when full, makes it a difficult\nfeat to get a volume down singly. Projections at each end of thc shelf which\nallow a volume to be hidden behind\nthem are a source of trouble to the\nbusy reader. Modern literary appliances\nare better adapted for the book lovers'\nrequirements than anything old-fashioned.\nApropos Weiler Bros, have a splendid\nstock of book cases, and book shelves,\nin every shape and form, and in rearranging a silting room or library it\noften improves such rooms immensely\nto have a good book case, rows of books\npresent such a comforting appearance.\nIt is allowed by all admiring foreigners that tbe Briton is very fond of his\nbath, but there was a time, T am told,\nwhen soap was the luxury of the \"well-\nto-do,\" and as recently as 1853, or\nthereabouts, the duly on that commodity\nwas enormous. Times have happily\nchanged since then, as the great soap\nindustries of the country amply testify.\nWe are now able to obtain the finest\nbath sponges and the daintiest of perfumes at reasonable prices. A visit to\nCyrus 11. Bowes, the popular chemist,\nwill soon convince you of this.\nThe value of \"Jap-a-lac\" as a combined polish and sanitary solution for\nwooden floors has been already conclusively proved on many occasions, but\nits recognition for ordinary household\nuse is not yet so general as it deserves\nto be. Many modern housekeepers, although they realize that polished wooden floors are fnr more hygienic and artistic thnn those covered with carpets,\nHave hitherto been deterred from ndinpt-\ninc them by reason of the labor they involve, but now \"Jap-a-lac\" has come to\nthe rescue and solved the whole prob\nlem. Mellor Bros, are the sole agents\nfor this splendid polish.\nAs time goes on more and more delicate, dainty and charming are the jewels on view at Challoner & Mitchell's.\nOne would have thought that the last\nword had been said about the exquisite\nintricacies of gem-setting in the beautiful baubles shown by this firm, but\nfresh fields of fortune are being opened\nup by the novelty and charm of their\nenamels in combination with gold and\njewels. Take for example necklaces\nand brooches which in design and execution arc worthy of the most famous\ncraftsmen in the modern or mediaeval\nworld.\nThe ideal cottage, though more rare\nthan of old, before motors were and\nwhen the adventurous city man contented his with a suburban villa, is\nstill to be found. A friend has just\nshowed me the plans of a cottage with\ndormer windows here and lattice panes\nthere, three feet thick walls, and real\npanelled oak. For the situation I suggested that Fairfield estate, where one\ncan pick up a two acre lot with the most\nideal surroundings and where Nature\nmay be cultivated at leisure and pleasure with the most successful results.\nDaring and enterprising as motor-car\noutfitters are they have not ventured to\npopularise a respirator for the motorist's use, and yet quite a number of\npeople have been inquiring about these\narticles. The appearance of a motorist\nwith a pair of goggles is hideous\nenough in soolh, but what would it be\nif in addition he had another uncanny\ncontrivance over his nostrils and mouth\nso as to check the ingress of dust? The\ncomments of the small boys and other\nwayside critics would be much too severe for delicate ears. The use of a\nrespirator presents many difficulties,\nand in lhe case of a driver would nol\nbe au regie as it would prevent him\nfrom speaking. Paradoxically, for the\nsame reason the respirator might be an\nadvantage if worn by some of the passengers.\nBABTTE.\nAT GORGE PARK-London Bioscope\u00E2\u0080\u0094biggest and best moving picture\nshow.

On Thursday evening the Firemen's\n(mefit concert filled the Victoria theatre\nith an enthusiastic audience, and Fire\nhief Watson and his capable band of\nirfornrers are to be congratulated on\nexcellent performance, and a sub-\nantial conribution to the Firemen's\nelief Association.\n[On Friday evening the ever-green Nat\n^odwin appeared at the same theatre in\nlatest success \"The Genius.\" Whilst\n|inions may differ as to his status in\nworld of art, sober-minded judges\n\t being inclined to side with the en-\nusiasts who place him among the\neatest actors of his time, it must be\nneeded that he is a thorough and fin7\nied artist, possessing the dramatic inner. His humor is infectious, and his\nrtraitures are characterised rather by\npth than breadth. Naturally one\nsses Maxine Elliot, and longs for\ndays when the two constituted one\nthe strongest attractions on the Atn-\nlican stage. \"The Genius\" cannot be\nImparodl with the play in which their\nlimes were for so long associated,\nMen We Were Twenty-one,\" but it\nIrved as a vehicle to display Mr. Good-\nin's special gifts in a manner which\nas highly gratifying lo a large and\nshionable audience.\nNext Tuesday Henrietta Crosman will\nipear at the Victoria Theatre in Mary,\n!ary, Quite Contrary. This talented\n:ress is always worth seeing, and may\nirly be classed with the half-dozen\n?st actresses on the American stage.\nIhe piece which she has selected for\ncsentation in Victoria is identified\nith one of her greatest\" successes,\nliving attracted crowded houses in New\nJork during a long run. There is little\npubt that thc talented lady will revive generous support on her appear-\nnce here. Apart from her established\nbsition on the stage, there are circtim-\n[anccs which tend to make her a popu-\nIr favorite. Born of rich parents and\ntared in the lap of luxury, she found\nprself at an early age plunged into\nfcverty. Falling back on her own re-\nlurces she cultivated her beautiful\npice with the intention of becoming an\nperatic singer. When her training\nas almost completed she strained her\nIiice and it was for ever ruined.. Such\ncatastrophe would have caused most\nrls to despair; not so Miss Crosman,\nho at once devoted herself to dramatic\nbdy, and in order to obtain the neces-\nry funds to complete her course\nilized her artistic gift of painting and\nised the money. Once upon the stage\nir position was assured, and from that\nay to this she has never looked back,\nstimable alike in' public and private\nfe, it is not to be wondered at that\nie is a universal favorite, and that in\nIfew years she has achieved a success\nliich is rarely attained by one so i\nking.\nMr. C. II. Gibbons has been fortunate\nlough to secure for Victorians thej\nipearance during the summer of the\nouis James Company, who with Nor-\nan Hackett as leading man will pre-\nnt two Shakespearian pastorals, \"As\nou Like It\" and \"A Midsummer\night's Dream,\" at the Gorge Park in\ne near future.\nHe also announces that for the next\ncatrical season he has managed to\nake arrangements to produce such a\nflaxy of talent as has never appeared\nVictoria before in one season. This\n11 include the Olive Mead Quartette,\nde. Marcella Sembrich, Mde. Nordica,\nigene Ysayc, Charlotte Maconda, Ed-\ni.-ird Dethier, the celebrated Belgian\nilinist, Hekking, after Gerardy, tire\nIirld's greatest 'celloist, and Freda\nendcr, the soprano. It will be news\nsome to hear that Mr. Gibbons has\nIdertaken the management of all tire\nivia Dahl concerts on this continent\nthe next three years; he has also\n|ranged to-act as manager in 23 towns\nthe Pacific Coaost, of which Vietoria\nhe nnc, fnr Miss Jessie McClachlan,\ncelebrated Scottish songster. For\nJi8 he will conduct the Jean Garardy\nicerts.\nThe New Grand has been thronged\nlh patrons this week: undoubtedly\n|s is largely due to (be prensence of\nrt Levy, the well-known artist-cor-\n[ipomlcnt' of the New York Telegraph,\nwho in the pursuit of his duties has entered vaudeville life in order to obtain\nsubject matter for his sketches. His\ndrawings are wonderfully good, and a\nvisit to the Grand is well repaid, if only\nby the turn which he does. The other\nfeatures are all good, a particularly attractive show being given by Ada Hamilton and Company, who put on a small\nMexican* drama. Miss Ordell has a\nfine voice, which is rarely heard! on the\nvaudeville stage.\nNext week the draw card will be\nHugh G. Emmet & Co., in a ventrilo-\nquial turn which never fails to attract\na large and appreciative audience.\nBut few girls are as homely as they\nact.\nThe ladies love mirrors because they\ndon't flatter, and they love men because\nthey do.\nCOAL\nJ.
