Carley, and edited by C. Dell-Smith. In August 1898, The Economist absorbed a paper called The Nation. In July 1903, the title of the paper was changed from The Nelson Economist to The Economist."@en . ""@en . "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xnelsonecon/items/1.0184135/source.json"@en .

'This name was probably considered, .more,.-.confusing than the \"Molly Maguires,'*.\" White Caps*' or the \" Pirates of Penzance.\" The ostensible object of the \"reform party\" as .we understand it, differs in vital particulars-to that of the parties led by either Mr. Higgins/: Mr. Beaven or Mr. Semlin. The organizations led by these gentlemen have no object in particular, except to get even with the government, and to be at liberty to act independently of any other party. The \"reform party \" differs from all other parties in the very essential particular that no one can be found who is able to tell who is its leader, and whether at the present time it is the happy possessor of a membership roll. So far as a declaration ot principles is concerned the \"reform party\" may be composed of moonshiners, white caps, crackers, larrikans ! or freebooters.; or it may be a society formed I for the purpose of extorting tribute from I unsuspecting travelers. The fact that an I attempt is being made to lead Mr. Bostock ' into a trap would afford strong presumptive ! evidence that the \"reform party\" is of the I character last described.

It was no less a person that Lord Sholto Douglas, whose matrimonial adventures have been the talk of the whole continent during the past few years. Lady Sholto Douglas was a variety actress and fell iu with his lordship at Bakersfield, Cal. The yming man was deeply smitten and a hasty marriage ensued. Lady Sholto retired from the stage, but will soon return to the boards, this time in New York citv. I first met Lord Sholto Douglas in Los Angeles, a short time after his marriage to Miss Addis. That was two years ago, and I must confess that I was most agreeably pleased to find, the other day, that these two years have made such a wonderful improvement in his lordship. He was here looking after his interests in the Fern mine, and has returned to Vancouver. American heiresses who are interested in securing foreign titles will be glad to know that there are a number of aristocrats iu 1 \"Vance working at lowly occupations for a living.

There were horse races, boat races, running ra:ces, and in fact every kind of sport that would add to the enjoyment of the loyal people of Ingersoll. At that time there was considerabe rivalry between two young fellows as to their relative merits as hurdle racers.? The citizens became considerably \worked up over the event.' Friends of both boys backed up their choice with good solid money and no' doubt the young lady friends of both were present to cheer on their favorites.1 The hour for the race arrived and both started i:i to win: The race was closely contested, but one had to win, and one did win. The defeated boy maintained that he had been cheated, but the victor denied having taken an unfair advantage of his opponent However years makes us all more pious and more willing to confess the faultsof vouth. Both boys have now grown to be middle-aged men, and the other day'they met in Nelson. The victor was again charged with having gained the race unfairly, and while he did not make a full admission pf his guilt he frankly confessed that perhaps he had \"shaved Hugh just a trifle.'/' The boy who lost is now Mr. Hugh Sutherland, ex- M.P., the railway promoter, and the lad who had \"shaved Hugh just a trifle,\" is Mr. N. F. Hao-el, the well-known criminal lawyer. My old and esteemed friend, Hon. D. W. Higgins, is now touring through the country, and although he denies that his movements have any political significance there are some people wicked enough to suspect that the honorable speaker is looking for a constituency, in this search Mr. Higgins is not alone. There are hundreds of others looking for constituencies, aud there is very little danger of a candidate famine at the next general election. A visitor to Nelson is impressed with the laro-e number of people who are seen on the streets everv evening. Last Saturday evening in particular, it was almost impossible to move along Baker street, on account of its crowded condition. One could almost imagine himself in one of the large Eastern cities, so great was the crowd. The stores appeared to be well patronized, which goes to show that money is circulating freely. The building boom in Nelson shows no sign of abatement. It now looks as if there would be sufficient hotel accommodation to supply the demand. Dwelling houses are also being erected in great number. A most satisfactory feature in connection with this phenomenal activity in building operations is the rv 1 ? fact that the structures are all of the most sub-; stantial character. - * , ./ J , ; ; .; \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDM 1' \V \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfi -K 'l n The decline in silver naturally makes the silver miners of Slocan feel a little, blue, but.,, accbrdirig to an interview with a mining man :... from that district, last- Tuesday, f^.they ;are- keeping a'stiff upper \"lip, as a rulj-.ahd.for- , tunately there are*many miriesln that district^ that can afford to ship even though' silver go much lower.

It will pass the time nicely.\nThe first plate developed was a faiimer\nWhy, I don't know, for I immediately threw\nit way and commenced another. \"Ah!\" I\nthought this is something like a photograph.\"\nTruly it was a most wonderful photo of\nlightning ; the wavy lines of fire-there were\nfour springing from one stem\u00E2\u0080\u0094streaming\ndown from the dark and angry heavens right\non \"to the earth, where the trees of the New\nForest in the background were sharply silhouetted against the tongues of fire, from\nwhich little side-streams spread out. in all\ndirections. I felt, and still feel, proud of that\nphotograph, for it caused no little excitement\nin ^scientific world. The next, plate was a\nbit of a mystery to me, for it was a negative of\nthe landscape in front of our house, and I\nwondered when it was taken, until I remembered that Donald had asked me to take it as\na flash-light landscape view with the last plate\non that memorable evening of the storm. , As\ndevelopment proceeded, and the objects\nbecame more and more distinct, I was surprised to see several human figures port^ed\nin it. With a magnifying glass T gave it a\ncloser examination, the result of which made\nme tremble with excitement.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"Good heavens !\" I exclaimed ; \" this is a\nphoto of the murder of Soleuski !'* and indeed\nit was; taken at the identical moment the\ncrime was committed. There was the whole\nscene unerringly depicted on the plate by that\nbrilliant flash of lightning ! I examined the\nplate more minutely, and the result was startling iu the extreme : There was the murderer\n\"'in the very act of plunging the knife into\nSolenski's breast!\nThe faces of both men were plainly distinguishable, and\u00E2\u0080\u0094that of the murderer was\nnot Gerald Merrilees, but of a short, thick-set\nman with a heavv beard ; and there, farther in\nthe background, was an inanimate form, with\nupturned face, lying upon the earth.\n\"Good heavens !\" I again exclaimed. \" So\nMerrilees is innocent, after all ! How wonderful that we should have taken this photograph\nand thus be able to prove his innocence ! Tomorrow I will go to Winchester with it, and\nprocure his release.\"\nSuddenly I reeled as if shot.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0,:\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\" 'To-morrow,J\ndid 1 say? Why, to-morrow is the day of his\nexecution! It is ' to-morrow ' nowi for it is\nafter three o'clock ! -In five hOUTS all will be\nover ; another victim sacrificed to miscarriage\nof j ustice.\" What was I to do ? Twenty\nmiles from Winchester with no means of communicating with the authorities to avert tlie\ntragedy which would so soon be enacted\u00E2\u0080\u0094here\nwas I with evidence that would save an\ninnocent man's life ; and that man a very dear\nfriend, too !\nWhat could I do ? I groaned aloud in my\nanguish, and great beads of perspiration\ndropped from my brow.\nJust then my wife and son returned, and\nwere alarmed to see my agitated state, but\nupon explaining matters, my wife's ready wit\nsuggested that I should ride, to Winchester on\nmy bicycle. The very thing! .J jumped\nwith joy, and soon after started on my dark\nand dreary, but fateful, ride, with the priceless\nnegative carefully packed to avoid the risk of\nbreakage and its terrible consequences. ~-\nI will not go into details of that ride, for\nonly those who have ridden over strange\ncross-roads on a pitch-dark night, when a\nfriend's life depends upon their speed, and\ndispatch, can sympathize with me.\nAt 6:45 that/same morning I rode up to\nWinchester gaol, and demanded to see the\nGovernor immediately; and upon being\nadmitted to\" his presence showed him the\nheaven-sent witness, which he deemed of such\nimportance that he telegraphed at once to the\nHome Secretary, giving hini; details of my\nmarvellous photograph, with the result that\nin this eleventh hour Gerald Merrilees, was\nreprieved\u00E2\u0080\u0094he, was saved !\nThe nature of the evidence that established\nMerrilees innocence, and all particulars concerning it, were kept strictly secret by the\npolice, who had my negative, enlarged, and\nsent copies of the photograph\u00E2\u0080\u0094whereon the\nfeatures of the murderer were clearly portrayed\n t'o all the police-stations in the kingdom,\nwith the result that within ten days the real\nculprit was arrested iu the foreign quarter of\nSoho, and upon being charged with the\nmurder confessed his guilt, stating that Sol-\nenski was an absconding Nihilist, who had\nfled to England to avoid carrying out a horrible task imposed on him by the peculiar\nrules of that dreaded society.\nBy sd doing his life became forfeited, and to\nthe murderer was alloted the duty of carrying\nout the society's vengeance. Hoping to\nescape, Soleuski had lived in retirement in\nour village, but was tracked by his inexorable\nexecutioner, who stated that on the night of\nthe great storm he had come across the prostrate and senseless form of Merriless, from\nwhom he took everything available, including\nthe fatal knife with which he stabbed his victim (whom he accidentally met immediately\nafter leaving Merrilees), just as the defending\ncounsel had surmised at the trial.\nIn due time, Merrilees received a full and\nunconditional pardon (for a crime that he had\nnever committed !), and I should not at any\ntime be surprised to hear of his engagement to\nMiss Devereux.\nHe and I are the strongest of friends, as he\nsays he owes his life to me, but I tell him that\nit is not so, but that he owes it to the magazine that prompted us to take the photos on\nthat eventful night: \" The Strand. \"-Tit-Bits.\nTames Payn tells a story of a certain officer\nofa transatlantic steamship who, in the absence\nof any clerical passenger, was asked during\na storm to undertake the duties of chaplain.\nHe was'anxious to oblige, but felt that he was\naltogether unequal to ecclesiastical operations\nto preaching or even reading \" I can ho,\never,\" he said,\" take up a collection.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 SHORT STORIES.\n,1 *\n< i '\"'a\n1 1\n<, ' J 111\nAubrey de Vere,. the poet, once had, a, conversation with Justice Wright, bn.earnings in.\nliterature and earnings at thenar. \"?or my ^\npart,*' said Mr. de Vere,- \"I call no manjpotor?,.',/: x \u00C2\u00A3jj\nwho can-^as I can^-doublehis- income at'any;, '\u00E2\u0080\u00A2;$?&. #Sj\nmoment\nlaying down\n, i \" , ;=. - y ( \u00E2\u0080\u009E t j-' \ \u00E2\u0080\u009E' \".', \"- *\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 V - ~,'\i 'y, ~ljt\nA story is told of an English nobleman wto .\" v^I\nwas showing .two or .three. of hisbeauttfulm?^\nwatches to a friend.

They will go down the Yukon 03- way of White Pass via Ska'guay, and will travel in bloomers. The cargo includes 60 head of horses and several voke of oxen. The * o oxen will be used to pack over the pass, and old timers say that they- are better than horses or mules for that purpose. You ought to gaze upon this motley crowd of Klondykers\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDold and young from Maine and Texas\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsome of them walking around the ship with revolvers strapped to their waists, and for all the world looking like a travelling arsenal. Others with large sombreros and bowie-knives, bright top boots, corduro\- suits, flannel suits, and in fact the greatest variety of make-ups imaginable. They have peculiar ideas as t > what the}\" will need in the new country, and it is worth some- . thing to listen to them. We have in this crowd the adventurer as well as the miner ; the tough who has come on board with a pair of blankets aud his gall; but he is going to the Yukon. He expects to find some one at the White Pass who has become discouraged and who will sell his outfit for little or nothing. I expect that if we arrive at \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD>kaguay all right it will take us about two weeks with our eight head of horses to get over the pass, and I hope we will not be delayed. We kave on board a representative of Harper's Weekly, and also two young men who have about soo newspapers of various cities which they hope to sell for $1 a copy.. The steamship Utopia is a small boat that has been running from Seattle to Vancouver. She has been chartered by the Alaska Steamship company. They sold more tickets than they had accommodations. Our party paid $160 dollars each for four first-class tickets, and they put us in a state-room with three berths ia it, thus compelling one of us to sleep on the floor. We protested/but all in vain. First-class passengers have been compelled to sleep on deck, or do the best they can. The miners threatened to take the law in their own hands, bat better counsel prevailed. The captain has expressed himself very' forcibly, but he is,. powerless to improve existing conditions. He has just thrown ten gallons of whiskey overboard. This is the worst mess I hive ever been in. I have had one meal to-day and may get another before night. The steward is paralyzed and the purser worse. There is also on board a man by the name of Parker, a contraband preacher, a smooth, oily duck, he also has a hand in it, he carries the boodle. He comes i along to throw oil on the troubled water, but I the smoothest fakers of this company are one i named Eshelman and another named Taylor. ! They/were left them behind in Seattle and it I is.'good for them that they stayed behind. I I believe that both of them would have been thrown overboard. You never in your life saw a more indignant crowd than are on this boat, having bought their first-class tickets with albpromises of good accommodation and then at the last moment to be assigned to sleep where 3-011 please. The second class passengers are just stifling below decks along with the horses. I pity the poor horses. This is a speculation for m01103'\" making and anybody who has enough cash to charter a boat can in a few hours sell enough tickets and get enough freight to more than treble ' his investment; this way of humbugging the people and packing them on a ship like a herd of wild cattle could never happen on the Canadian side of the line. I trust The Economist will ventilate this matter and show the world how outrageously we have been treated. I cat? oniv say that if the Seattle people do not take this matter in hand and rectify it, their steamship companies will get very little business. All the traffic will go either from Victoria or San. Francisco. We are having so far beautiful weather and one could not wish it any better, but we are crowded so that I am hardly able to \ write. I have just had-dinner and had to i almost fight to get to the table. Tin's is, two ; meals to-day and I am thankful for even that/' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD WILD HORSE CREEK. : on, On the Wild Horse creek and vicinity there are some of the best gold bearing claims to be found in our Kootenay district.

Boundary Creek district contains so many important camps that it is almost impossible to make even a passing reference to a!l of them \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\" one article. Last week the Times attempted l<> point ont the importance of Boundary Creek \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDs a mining district, and referred to all the camps. At least that was the intention, but we find that several of the important camps were omitted. For instance, Smith's camp, with the Last Chance and Republic mines, where W. T. Smith is doing extensive work i\" the interests of the Republic Mining Com- i);l\"y. Mr. Smith has sunk shafts and has splendid looking ore on the dumps, but he is a i>Jg-hearted fellow, and although he has plenty 0 gold in Smith's camp, he is strong in his \"enunciation of the Dominion government for evymg a royalty on Yukon gold. There may >e some selfishness in Mr. Smith's views, for 1 ie Last Chance ore is so rich that he may be \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'unions lest the Dominion government levy a loyalty on it also.

The Fort Steele Prospector is informed that > the gentlemen, who are putting in a water? works system there have ordered 3000 feet of piping for the street mains and .5000; feet, of smaller pipe for connections, and expect to be ,\" able to supply water within six weeks., They are also negotiating for a complete electric light plant consisting of a four horse power boiler, two engines, two dynamos, wire, lamps, etc., and they expect to have this plant fully installed and the light turned on before the shows of winter come on again. It is hoped by the citizens of Fort Steele that: their sanguine expectations will be fully realized. According to the Slocan City News Lemon creek mining properties are rapidly coming to the front, and the prevailing low price of silver is turning more and more attention in their direction. Up and down the creek can be heard the sound of blasting here and there, showing that not only is assessment work being done all along the line, but that, notwithstanding the difficulty of getting in supplies, considerable S5'stematic development is also being carried dn. Now that work on the rail up Lemon creek has already been commenced, the owners of mining propositions in that high grade gold district can look forward to an early date when the means of ingress and egress will be greatly improved.

Her tactics have already found not 1 M|few imitators, and this revival is |-considered ofa piece with gigot sleeves and pelerines. Fainting as y a mode was imported to France from England in the last century, after the Abbe Prevost attempted to moralize French society by translat- JiiigRichardson's novels. The sensibi- llity of Pamela found numerous irhitators in court circles. The Revolution did not cure Josephine of her Richards:>nian sensiblerie. Directly Napoleon found fault with her milliner's bills, she sank back apparently lifeless on a sofa. Her last faint was when he announced his determination to divorce her. Lady Hamilton captivated Nelson by swooning the first time she set eyes on him. The swoon obliged the whole court to rush to her assistance, and vastly flattered the hero.
