"The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News."@en . ""@en .

The crime, the\nfull details of which appeared in The\nMiNEitat the time and subsequently\nin the report of the-trial of the murderer was-one of the most coldblooded\nin the history of British Columbia.\nNo provocation wasgiven by the murdered man who was-deliberately shot\nand sent into eternity without a moment's warning.\nSince the sentence \"\"of death was\npassed on March 22nd, Doyle maintained an air of complete indifference\nas to his fate and refused to speak of\nhis past life or to see a spiritual adviser. Inthe goal books he is entered\nas a Methodist.\nHis last .night on earth was spent\nquietly and. whether or not he realized\nthat shortly after sunrise he was\ndoomed to die he gave no sign of anxiety as to. the matter, He slept\nsoundly,' wakened early and ate a\nhearty breakfast. While the workmen were epgaged id the erection of\nof the scaffold he frequently mode\njesting remarks to the guards.\nAbout fifty men witnessed the execution, on invitation from the Sheriff\nand a couple of hundred others waited outside the jail yard for the hoisting of the black flag. At 8 o'clock the\nprocession, headed by Sheriff Bed-\ngrave started from the condemned\ncell.- After him followed Deputy\nSheriff Walter.

It has been proved in the\nhistory of the past and not many\nhours ago. The ministers that promised to see me weife notified in accordance that their knowledge and experience is all from books.

The pulse continued to beat\ni'or five minutes and after hanging for\nihirty .miniites the body was lowered\nmd placed on aboard for the coroner's\nnquest. A jury consisting of J.

He spoke\nof meeting, \"a young man namedSinith\nwho was sitting alone iu the barroom\nof Erickson's hotel.\" This he says was\n8 o'clock at night. He said he met\nConnors and had a drink with him at\nthe Butte hotel and said that he was\nstanding on the porch when Connors\nfollowed him and said \" Don't you\nknow me?\" Prisoner replied that he\ndid not, whereupon Connors said,\n\" Don't you remember former trouble\nwith me?\" Doyle said he did not,\nwhereupon Connois became quarrelsome, pulled out a kuite and started\nto open it and pointed it at his breast.\n\" I then knocked him down,\" said\nDoyle. He then went on to say that\nhe afterwards met the deceased at\nErickson's, and added \"There were\naopie threats usod hy Connors towards\nme. He said that he. would get even\nwith me for the previous fight. I went\nout and got a pistol that was in my\nblankets and returned to Erickson's\nabout twenty minutes later. Clave,\nConnors, Smith, the bartender and\nKerr were there. The latter was\nasleep on a chair. I started to go to\nthe back door at. the end of the saloon.\nBefore I got there Smith jumped up\nand ran to the front door. About the\nsame time Connors was getting up\nfrom his chair. I looked sideways and\nsaw Connors rising from his chair. He\nhad his right hand in his hip pocket.\nHe was swearing at the tim-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD, but I did\nnot understand what he said. He was\nlooking at me, and I supposed he was\nthreatening meT^T'tlietrdfetr myT'pis**-:\ntoi and pointed it at Connors. Before\nI drew my pistol I asked Smith to\ncome back but he did not answer.\nConnors Said \"You think you have a\ncinch ohine,\" and stepped towards me,\nput his hand in his right hip pocket,\nand said, \" Shoot,\" at the same time\ndrawing his right hand from his hip\npocket, I fired before he could get his\nhand out and.be fell. He died in about\nten minutes. I remained looking at\nhim. I,tben went to bed in the Anderson house, and remained there all\nnight. There were seven men slept in\nthe same room Charles Oleson slept\nthere.\" Doyle went on to say that he\nremained in the .barroom until Conners died and spoke to Constable\nForbes and to a Mr. Downie, saying\nto theni, \"I am very sorry, it was a\nbad shot.\"\nTHE CITY CODNGIL.\nBUSINESS TKANSACTED AT THE\nBEGULAE SESSION.\nIncorporation Honey to be Befnndcd to\nBabucrlberK\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDDelegate to be Kent to\nOttawa.\ngnprewe court aittlna*.\nThe adjourned sitting of the Supreme\nCourt was resumed in the Nelson court\nhouse on Saturday last, Mr. Justice Irving presiding.\nJudgment was given in the case of\nCreelman vs. Clarke,tried at the March\nsitting, dismissing the case with coats to\ndefendants.

APBIL23. IS 8.\nCONCEALED WEAPONS.\nThe crime for which the man Doyle\nsuffered the extreme penalty of the\nluw yesterday has unfortunately be\ncame typical of certain inining wimps\nacross the line. It is an example of\nthe exceeding insecurity of life nnd\nproperty which we by.no means desire\non this side of thc lino. With a view\nof checking it' as fnv-na possible Our\nlegislature M\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDs very wisely. made the\n- carrying ol concealed weapons a serious offence. Unfortunately it is not\neasily detected and it might be advantageous to enact some provision for\nsearch of suspected parties. It \"may\nbe taken for granted that every man\nof n certain class found in our mining\nand Tailway camps near the line bas a\nforbidden weapon about him. He\nshould be made to carry it openly\nwhich converts him into \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD guy or he\nshould bc forced to surrender it. Mr.\nGitfen has in the old days deprived\nmany a man of his dahgerous weapon\nby ft simple request couched in that\npleasant voice-of his which apparently\nthe toughest rilffiah was unable to\nwithstand.. Had Doyl*e:cbinpJierl\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\yJfcH\nthe law he would not now be lying in\ntt felon's grave.\nThe man's indifference to his impending fate was on a par witli that\ncarelessness \"of human life which prevails in the Western States. Apparently he cured no more- f\>r his own\nlife than lie did for taking that of his\niiu fortunate victim. There was no\nquarrel more than a trifling altercation between the men, who though\npreviously unacquainted had -been\ndrinking together. Whiskey is no excuse for crime and it is as well for any\ntoughs who may be thin king of com ing\nto this country to know that we are\njust us unwilling to be shot by\ndrunken man as by a sober one.\nn step, which does not bring her into\nthe condition of a belligerent but\nwhich materially checks the progress\nof the war. She has declared -coal-to\nbe contraband \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD of war.

Our\nfriendly intercourse with our neighhors\ncan go on as usual and though it is\npossible that some of our lead may\neventually find its billet in a Spanish\nbreast,-tho way there is so round about\nLhat it can hardly be declared contraband of war. War always makes\nmoney tight and the first thing to feel\nthe constriction is the mining market.\nSince writing the above war has\npractically been declared and it is announced that the American flying\nsquadron has left Key West for Havana. The whereabouts of the Spanish fleet seems uncertain. In Spain\nreporters of newspapers are not taken\ninto the confidence of government officers, nor do cab.'met ministers (peak\neither officially or otherwise of great\naffairs of state to the man on the street.\nAs Sheridan wrote, \" The Spanish\nfleet you cannot see because 'tis not in\nsight.\" Bub the Dons have always\nthe reputation of being good sailors\nand no doubt they have not allowed\nwar to break out before they a re ready..\nIn the meantime the United States\nhas called for 80,000 volunteers and\nshe will no doubt get them ih one day\nand they will be men of the best material to make soldiers of. It remains\nto he seen how an unmilitary country\nsuch as the United States is can in a\nshort time organize into a useful force\nsuch a huge body of men.\nOn Tuesday next, 20th April, the\nAmerican order of..

For ten days\nthe littla British station at Sunda Qunge\nhud been besieged by tho insurgent Sepoys.\n1'he station was divided into two portions : the lower, consisting of the Indian\nvilluge, nnd the upper, pnrt of which,'\nincluding tbe magazine and the British\nresidency, was strongly fortified. Within\nthis portion tho English residents hod\nretiicd on the flrst signal of approaching\ndnnger. Tho rebels fortunately possessed\nonly one small piece of cannon, which\nhail proved quite ineffectual against tbe\nwalls of the inclosurc. Provisions were\nnot scarce, and up to the present moment\nthe garrison had entertained strong hopes\nof being able to hold out until relief\narrived.\nSuddenly a new and unexpected danger had arisen.\nThe buildings inclosed within the\nfortifications formed an open square. In\nthe middle of tho square was the well\nwhich supplied te garrison with water.\nAbout five o'clock in the afternoon n\ngroup of several persons were standing\nin the shelter of an archway which\nopened into the square, and gazing with\nlooks of consternation and dismay in the\ndirection of the well.\nlhe cause of their alarm was singular.\nThe town was situated at the foot of\na range of hills, and from one particular\npoint upon the slopes outside the walls\nthe woll in the middle of the square was\nvisible. This the Sepoys had at length\ndiscovered. Their single piece of cannon\nwas at once posted at this point, and\nbrought to bear exactly on the well\nwithin the town. The result of this proceeding is self-evident. If one of the\ngarrison should now venture into tbe\nsquare for the purpose of fetching water,\nhe would run an imminent risk of being\nblown to atoms by a volley of grape shot.\nThe group of spectators looked in silence at the well. The same thought occupied the minds of all. Tbere were women\nin the garrison\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDdelicate English ladies,\ngirls and children\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand within the room\nset apart far the purpose of a hospital\nwounded men were moaning for water.\nWater, ot all costs, .must be had\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDeven\nIn face of a vigilant enemy and a loaded\ncannon. But how?\nOver a fringe of mango-trees and the\nroof 8 of some low bungalows to the right\nof the square, a knot of dusty figures\ncould be descried at a certain point on\nthe hillside. The dark point marked tho\nspot where the cannon was posted. Even\nas tho spectators looked toward it tbe\ncannon boomed\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthere came a puff of\nsmoke and a flash of fire\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand at the\nsame moment the grround nbout the\nmouth of the well was torn up by a\nfierce hail of shot. The gunners were trying their range, and what is more, it\nw.is only too evident that they had\nfound it,\nThe spectators looked significantly nt\none another. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDFpur_Qf_th_e__ aotss of\ntho cheering was mwn j-etorafng \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nstuto of much excitement Vans sooostsd\nher eagerly, but in low tones. \"If She\nbetter?

Amid the\nstorm of shot, only one shad grated her;\nthe rest had whistled past without harm.\nBut whero. hor slender- figure bad so\nnarrowly escaped, a man. being of larger\nbulk, would inevitably have been struck\ndown. Mary Sulland had, In (set been\nslightly wounded, .where Vane wonld'\nhave been killed. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-\nDuring the hours of night while ht\nhud wandered up and down ; outside her\ndoor, too restless to seek for . sleep, he\nhad thought of nil these thing*. He had\nthought of the girl who had - risked her\nlife for his; he had let bis memory go\nback Into the past, anil oall to mind all\nthat: he had owed to Mary Balland\nthrough the years that he-had:known\nher; how all his noblest, aspirations,\ndreams, ambitions, had come ; from hsr,\nor had been fostered or strengthened by\nher sympathy, and ha had wondered how\nit was that he himself hod never realised,\ntill now, what sho had been to him. And\nnow, as he stood beside her, as he looked\nat her again, he wondered more and\non her face re-\nniore.\nThe look of inquiry\ncalled him to himself.\n\"I am forgetting,\" he said. \"I am\nglad to be tho first to bring you the good\nnews.

Kot, what is of much\ngreater consequence, will you Mary.\"\nShe answered with a smile. They understood each other. He was bending\nover her; sho was looking up at him.\nMrs. Jessop was not near them, and it\nW*s almost as if they were alone. From\nthe distance came a noise of voices cheering, us if they never meant to stop, but\nin the room itself there was no sound\nbut their own murmured talk.\n\"As soon ns you arc well again,\" be\nFaiJ, \"I shall be very angry with you,\nMary.

They seem to thrive almost\nas well as if 'buses were provided for\ntbeir special edification, and there are\nquite a large number of thieves in London who make a living by working almost entirely In public conveyances.\n- One gang in particular was broken up\nlong ago. It consisted of about twenty-\nthree men, and was known\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDon account\nqf a practice they had of slinging a\nhooked stick over their arms\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDas the\n\"Crooked Stick Gang.\" It was started\nin 1898, and the originator was*an exceedingly clever thief with whom the\nIiolice desired further acquaintance. He\nsthrted this brilliant idea by giving an\n\"ht home\" ln the Seven Dials. He hired\n' aroom In a pnblio bouse for the purpose\n(as he.lnformed the landlord) of holding\na \"friendly lead,\" but as a matter of fact\nthe people wbo turned up were one and\nnil practiced pickpockets, and the outcome of this meeting was the formation\nof a sort of Thieves' Union, the object\nof which was to prey upon unwary people who travel in omnibuses and trams\nnnd public conveyances generally. The\nluembers worked in pairs, the one thieving and the other watching that he did\nnot cheat his fellows.\nTMs nratam war*** wmamebly well\nAt0OJb(ne\"i**9t*eh' pair of thieves hod a\nnhmber of JnrpoJous disguises; on different occasions they exchanged routes;\nand as they kept n particular record of\ntheir proceedings, and were careful not\nto work too often In the same district,\nthey were for a long time undetected. At\nthp -hnd of each day they met at a public\nhouse, previously appointed, for dividing\ntbelr soils; and a fair idea of the profits\nof the concern will be gathered from\nthe faot that tbey have divided as much\nai |660 on a single day.\nAfter a time the conductors of the\n'buses {especially in principal thoroughfares like Piccadilly) got to know the\ngang, and become strangely shortsighted\nwhen one of them hailed them,from the\n1 pavement. They treated them with on\nindifference tbat was galling, and their\nbehavior seemed especially brutal when\ntbe passengiy with the \"crooked stick\"\nhappened to be an old, whitohaired gentleman witb gold eyeglasses. _^__j ^\nWhen at last business became so involved that the Directors of the omnibus\ncompanies began to employ detectives to\nwateh them, the gang thought it advisable to run 'buses of their own, and they\ndid. They started a number of \"pirate\"\n'buses, and as just somewhere about this\ntime the company 'buses raised their\nfares, they easily got a large number of\npassengers by retaining the old prices.\nTbey were very careful, however, to stop\nonly for well-dressed and respectable-\nlooking people, aad it was a strange\nthing if a passenger did not miss something before he or she reached the end\nuf the journey.\nKach person who entered the 'bus was,\nof conn*:, most carefully watched. The\ncv \"AH fares\" gave the thieves a clew\nto the whereabouts of the purses, and a\nshort time nfter they were replaced they\nweto skillfully removed by the \"working\n.members.\" Qnc of tho gang who man-\n- ipuL.ied * matters Inside tho 'bus was a\nmost dexterous pickpocket. It was his\nboart that be could extract a purse with\na pslr of sugar tongs, and he has been\nknown to steal one, remove all the\nmoney, and then quietly replace it in\nthe owner's pocket without exciting the\nslightest suspicion.\nFor awhile these \"pirate\" 'buses succeeded even better than the others. On\nsome occasions a single 'bus has yielded\nover twenty purses a day, some of tbem\ncontaining as much as *76, and it was\nseldom that a pocket was picked without\nsomething of value being found.\nAt last, however, complaints at Scotland Yard became so numerous that the\nauthorities set a special detective on the\ntrack of the.crooked sticks, with the result that one of the members was caught\nred-handed, and this led shortly after-\nwnrd to the arrest of several others.\nAfter that it was not long before they\nwere entirely broken up. Without a head\nthey were incapable of working systematically, and they scattered in every\ndirection\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmostly to Portland, where\nmany of them are still \"doing time.\"\nFor Ked Hmads.\nTo cure redness of the hands beat together one ounce of clear honey, one\nounce of almond oil, the juice of a lemon\nnnd the yolk of a raw egg.

Having done this, he went\ndown to his seaside f.'ace at Buzzard's\nBay for n rest. Some of tho newspapers\ncommented unfavorably on his absenoe\nfrom Washington at such a juncture.\nThero was a great deal of excitement\nand suspense over the result of the session. The opinion was often expressed\nthat, should it pass, the President would\nbear most of tbe responsibility, for good\nor ill. He was an autocrat, and the Senate feared to disobey him. According to\nsome, we were within measurable dist\nanoe of a dictatorship. One always hears\nsuch extravagancies at such times.\nI do a good deal of business for women\nclients, who consult me sometimes about\nquestions of property or Investment,\nsometimes about their domestic relations,\nand sometimes on other matters. One\nmorning the officii boy brought me a card\nbearing a name which was new to me. I\nwas just preparing, to close my desk and\ngo to lunch, and I sent out word that\nshe should call in the afternoon. But the\nboy brought back word that her business\nwas very urgent, and that she would not\ndetain me long. So I said: \"Let her\ncome in.\"\nShe turned out to be a very attractive\nwoman. She was dressed in a dove-colored suit, and she reminded me of a dove\nin the soft expression of her eyes, ahd a\nsort of tender feminine smoothness and\nnicety and gentleness. Her, manner had\nthe unmistakable stamp of the best\nbreeding. She was a lady to the ends of\nher fingers. .*.,*.\nWhen she was seated near my desk,\nfacing the window, she looked at me\nearnestly for a moment, and then asked\nme if I were a married man? I was surprised; and when I told her that I was\nstill a bachelor a faint expression of disappointment passed over her delicate faoe.\n\"If you had been a father,\" she said, in\nher soft,\" beautifully modulated voice,\n''you could have better understood my\nfeelings and my anxiety.- I have lost nay\nboy.\"\n1 expressed ray regret at the news.\n\"Oh, I don't mean that he is dead\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDat\nleast, I have no reason to think that,\"\nshe made haste to rejoin. \"I mean he's\nlost\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDI don't know where he is.

She had made application for an\nappointment for him, based upon the\nfact chat her late husband had been in\ntho nrn>v us an officer of volunteers; but,\nno doubt because she had'not been able\nto obtain political Indorsement the appeal had received no attention beyond a\nnote from an assistant secretary, which\nshe showed me, stating that it had been\nput on file. Other letters of hers, urging\nthe mutter, and addressed to the President personally, had met with no response. The boy himself had written,\nwith tho s.ime result. He hud become\ngreatly depressed. He had studied very\nhard to fit himself for examination, and\nthis/together with his suspense, -had\nmade him restless and sleepless. She had\nfeared u fever. He had several times\nspoken of going to sec the President\nhimself and making a personal appeal to\nhim. Then, four days ago, be had left\nthe house about five o'clock, ostensibly to\ngo to the local posfcofflce\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthey 11 veil iu\nn small town half nn hour by rail from\nNew York.

Had he\ntaken any money with him?\nShe said, no, not so far as she know.\nSho added that he whs ta youth of Irreproachable habits, and that he had few\nor no companions of his own age. He\nhod never been away - from her before.\nThere had always been more than ordinary affection between theni. It was difficult for her to suppose that he could\nvoluntarily have left her in this way\nwithout any word of explanation or\nwarning _ On the other hand, it was inexplicable that he should have been kidnapped, or even have met with an accident. She had already made all possible\ninvestigations in their neighborhood, but\nhail found no truces. She admitted thnt\nthe idea hod passed through her mind\nthat h\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD might have Intended going to\nWashington.\n\"I think thut is the most probable\nsolution of the mystery,\" 1 en-Id. \"Such\na boy as you describe him to lie would\nnot only be morilled by his failure, but\nho would\" be stimulated to try his last\nchance, and would keep It a secret froip\nyou, knowing that you would oppose\nhim. But I Should have expected that he\nwould have written to you Certainly I\nshould expect he will do so very shortly.\nBut,\" I added, \"it seems to ine, madam,\nthat this is a matter for the Detective\nBureau to handle. It is not a lawyer's\naffair.\"\nShe replied: \"I was recommended to\nyou by\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"here she mentioned the name\nof one of my clients, a railroad director.\nShe opened the little morocco hand-satchel\nshe hud with her. \"I think I have a let-;\nter from him here,\" she said. In searching among its contents she took out a\nsmall, ivory-mounted revolver with the\nremark: \"My husband taught me how\nto use that, and I promised him to carry\nit when I went alone. Xo,\" she added,\nreturning the little weapon to the satchel\nand closing it, \"I have neglected to\nbring it. But he told mo that you were\npersonally acquainted with the President.\nThis was true. A business matter had\nbeen the occasion of pay coming in contact with Mr. Cleveland, and had led to\nsome subsequent social intercourse.\n\"And I had thought,\" she went on,\nlookina at me with a pathetic thtent-\nness, \"that you would, perhaps, not refuse me a line of personal introduction\nto him. If I could see him I might be\nable to put my request to him in such a\nway that he would feel a more personal\ninterest in it. ily letters, of course, go\nto the secretaries, and he may never see\nthem.\"\n\"But how would that help you to find\nyour son?\" I asked.\nAt that moment the office boy came ln\nat\nwith a telegram. Glancing at it, I saw\nthat it was addressed, in my care, to the\nlady before me. I handed it to her, jn\nsome bewilderment. She received it\neagerly, blushing as she did s6.\n\"I owe you an apology,\" she said; \"I\ntook the liberty of telling the telegraph\noperator In our town to send on any dispatch he might receive for nie to this\noffice: I knew ot no other place to toil\nhim. I think it must be from iny boy.\nWill you pardon me if I look at it?\"\n\"Pray open it ut onco,\" I returned,\nbecoming interested.\nShe did so, with trembling fingers. As\nher eyes grasped thc contents her faco\nwas overspread with a beautiful light of\nrelief and excitement, After n moment\nshe handed it to me with an eloquent\nlook, but without n word.\nIt was from the boy, sure enough, and\nsaid, ln substance, that he wus safe and\nwell, and that ho hoped, within n day\nor two, \"to speak face to fnce with him\nand settle lt.\" It was a forwarded message, and bore no date.\n\"But no doubt it must be from Wash-\ningon,\" said she, when I called her attention to this.\n\"But the President is not in Washington,\" I replied. \"He returned to his sea-\nplace two or three days ngo.\"\n\"Do you think luy boy would know\nthat?\" she asked, anxiously.\n\"He would if he reads the papers.\"\n\"Oh, he's a great newspaper reader,\"\nsaid she, smiling again. \"He was always\nblaming me for not caring for them.\nThen you think he has gone there instead of to Washington?\"\n\"It certainly seems probabla,\" said I,\nreperusing the telegram. \" H-j sscins to\nknow what he is about.

I\nshould say he may huve been in .New\nBedford ut the time.\"\n\"And do you think ho will see the\nPresident to-day?\", _\n\"That is more thun I can say,\" I replied, deprecating her eager emotion\n\"The President might* be out fishing;\naud, at any rate, he is not easily accessible to unknown visitors. He wants rest;\nand, besides this is a season for cranks,\nyou know, nnd extra precautions have to\nbe taken to protect him.\"\n\"But surely they wouldn't take my\nboy fora crank!\" she- faltered, in consternation. \"Oh, that would ba terrible!\nWould they put him in prison?

Can't you advise\nme, sir?\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwon't you help me?\"\nShe had risen to her feet in her agitation, and was pink' and pale by turns.\nBachelor though I was, I sympathized\nwith her mother's heart, and did my\nbest to compose her.\nI assured her that there was no danger. The worst that could happen, was\nthat tho boy would be refused an audience : that wus the likeliest event, also.\n\"Meanwhile,\" I said, \"I should, If I\nWere you, take an east-bound train this\nafternoon and run down to the scene of\noperations. You will, no doubt, be in\nrtwison to catch your son on his way\nback. It is evident he must have taken\nsome money with him. but possibly not\nenough to pay his fare homo again. Besides, he might hesitate to return unsuccessful. I think I had better give you n\npersonal letter to tho President, as you\nsuggested just now, so that your position and his; will be accounted for.\nMind,\" I added, ns sho made nn'impulsive movement of gratitude, \"I-, don't\nthink there's the least probability of\nyonr obtaining ; tho appointment; and,\nanyway, my wishos would carry very\nlittle political weight. In fact, I can't be\nsaid to know anything . about the case.\nBut it will give roe pleasure to serve\nyou, and what I shall.say to the President will, at any rate, do you no harm.\"\n\"It is very, very kind of you, \"she\nsaid, with glistening eyes. \"I thank you\nwith all my heart.

Of course,\nI handed it back.\n\"If this were an ordinary professional\nmatter,\" I told her, \"I should treat you\nin a professional way.

She bowed\nslightly, und sat with her hands-resting\non her lap, whilo I wrote \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD short letter\nto the President outlining the situation,\nand expressing iny opinion that the lady\nwas worthy . of respect and attention.\nWhen I turned to give it, to her thero\nwere two teurs on her checks. \"I will let\nyou know,\" was all sho said; und then\nshe gave me hor hnnd.

Tbe two blasts which have\nbeen io uso have a capacity of 250 tons\nper day eaeb, bnt as thereverberatorie3\nhave never proven successful, one of the\nblasts is kept busy reducing the matte\nproduced by the other, so that the actual\ncapacity of tbe plant is only about 250\ntons per day. The installation of the two\nnew furnaces will thus bring the capacity of the smelter up to 500 tons. As\nthe contract with the War Eagle is only\ntor 200 tons per day, it is evident tbat\nthe C. P. R. has in view considerable contracts with otber properties, to justify it\nin doubling tbe capacity of the smelter.\nThe Dundee Slluc.\nJ. Finlay, engineer of the Dundee mine\nnear Ymir spent Thursday in the city\nand reported that the mine is looking\nbetter than ever. The ore body on tbe\nbanging wall is all shipping, and varies\ntrom ttreis to four feet in width. Between\nthis and the fool wall, a distance of 21\nfeet, the ore is concentrating. Work on\nthe concentrator has commenced nud\nmachinery for it has been ordered.\nTwenty-five men are at present employed\nin the mine and the force will be increased shortly. From present appearances the indications are that the miue\nwid be on dividend paying basis dining the coming summer.\nCHURCH NOTICES.\nChurch of England.
