"The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited 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. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune."@en . ""@en . "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0188476/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

London, March 4.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDInfluenza has reached an epidemic form in London, being responsible for one in eighteen deaths during the past week, when deaths from disease reached the total of 1132. Two drawing rooms this week brought people to town. The duchess of Buccleugh presented Miss Astor, who wore white toilette with silver embroidery and satin train bordered with single pearls. She carried a bouquet of white lilies. The United States ambassador, Joseph Choate, is still staying at Claridge's hotel ~and is busy house-hunting. He has accepted an invitation to attend the annual dinner of the Associated Chambers of Commerce on March '15th. The other guests include lord high chancellor earl Halsbury, lord chief \"justice baron Russell of Killowen, rear-admiral lord Charles Beresford, aud president Ritchie of the board bf trade. Arrangements for queen Victoria's departure for the Riviera next Thursday have been completed. Her majesty will travel to the south of France byway of Boulogne-Sur-Mer, instead via Cherburg, being the first time she will have visited Boulogne-Sur-Mer since the Crimean war. Some interest is taken iu the fact that the queen's yacht will be convoyed by eight of the fastest torpedo boat destroyers iu the British navy, five of them being thirty- knot boats. Cruisers have previously been employed for this duty, and the use of destroyers is hinted by some papers as iutended to set off French papers. Much indignation is felt in Eugland over the scandalous and coarse attacks mado upon the queen by some newspapers in Paris this week. La Libre, in an insulting article, says: \"Frankly, the queen will be well advised if she does not come to France this spring. The constitutional fiction that it was lord Salisbury, and not the queen, who inflicted the outrage of Fashpda and' the humiliation of Mucat on France will not suffice. It is well kuownthat the queen has directed Eugfand's policy throughout her long ^ reign, and has never missed an opportunity of displaying her antipathy for France. Under the circumstances, ^therefore. her, risit is a-u\"additional insult and defiance \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDof public opinion after this warning, and it will only be her own fault if she meets \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD with a hostile reception in .France.\" The Autorite .says: J .\"The, queen becomes our guest at a monieut when the British government has made itself, more 1 than ever our \"enemy. r Her journey will be full of the same risk as the Maino incurred on entering Cuban waters, and the French, government will be committing the same foolish act as seuor Sagasta by not preventing Frauce.from being placed in such a position that the smallest accident might precipitate both powers into a terrible conflct.\" After such hints as the foregoing, it seems possible that the queen's visit to France will not pass without some Chauvinist incident, and a special police stall' has left here to watch oyer her m.t jesty. The queen pays $12,000 monthly for her . ownrnojnsj vyit;hoHCiCouuting the expeu^ ses \"of.lieij su i tef \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDp i\ tube fin\"gVs'txiy~ per so n,s. - Altogether.her tt|'p\"\"iwi}l^c.0!_.t\"-iiibrG About $75,000.

Her majesty also has.a curiouswhini about sleeping in her own bed, which is taken with her whenever she goes. The prince of Wales went to Paris this vyeek and visited the exposition grounds. He proceeds to Capyes on Sunday. The prince's wonderful scheme, known as the , League of Mercy,. in connection with which a new order hasbeen established fpr those wild collect and promote the col- lectiori of subscriptions for the pr/inee of Wales ^hospital.fund,? live year's work be- . ing required fdi admission to the order, is severely criticized iii several quarters. The daily News thinks the prince lias not been fortunately advised in committing himself and in securing the sanction of the queen to such a scheme. The paper calls it \"an organization of snobocracy by the aristocracy, which is repugnant to gent lines, each party apparently regarding him as favorable to themselves. For a few days, it is even asserted, he was a voluntary aide-de-camp of general Miller, though he was never connected with the American army. The English papers are wondering what is the meaning of these '\"mysterious movements.\" Sir Thomas Lipton has engaged a crew for the cup challenger Shamrock, numbering thirty men. Half of them are picked Clyde yachtsmen, several having been members of the Thistle crew, and the remainder are English sailors. Andrew Carnegie is expected to return in May to Skibo castle, which is being renovated aud refurnished during his absence in America. A number of relics of sir Walter Scott were sold at auction this week. Among them . were eighty-three letters, which fetched ,$1125. His walking stick, a stout piece of ash cut in th\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD woods of Abbotts- ford, was sold fbr $705, and two locks of- his hair went for two guineas. LONDON & B.

The the idea of charity arid hot calculated to add to the dignity of the throne.\" The annual; reports upon recruiting for the army shows a slight increase in the physical developments of the recruits, but 33 per eeilt have still beeu rejected owing to unsatisfactory physique. The surprising announcement is made that 18 in every 1000 are utterly illiterate, and that only 49 iu 1000 are described as well educated. There has been a revival of the sensation caused a few weeks ago by the alleged disappearance of prince Ludwig Von Lowenstein-Wertheim, who married lady Anne SaVille, a daughter of the earl of Marlborough. He moved a good deal in English society and then disappeared mysteriously. Au advertisement inquiring after his whereabouts caused considerable speculation in the London press, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD aud now a telegram from Manila says the prince was at Manila. He has been there many months, and was present at the destruction of the Spanish fleet. He was a member of the European club, but, it is added, his behavior aroused suspicion as he was thought to be acting as the confidential agent of the German government. Before Manila surrendered, it is further alleged, the prince was allowed to pass iu and out of the Spanish and insiir- Froposal to Extinguish the Deferred Shares Unanimously Accepted. An extraordinary general meeting of the holders of the deferred shares in the London and British Columbia Goldfields, Limited, was held at Caunon Street Hotel. E.C., on February loth, Oliver Wethered presiding, for the purpose of considering and, if\" thought fit, passing the following resolution: \"That the draft of an intended agreement proposed to be made between the London and British Columbia Goldfields, Limited, and its liquidator of the one part and anew company, intended to be incorporated and to be called the London and British Columbia Goldfields, Limited, of the other part, and the .draft memorandum and articles of association of the said intended nevv company having been respectively submitted to the meeting, and identified by the signature of the chairman of the said meetiutr, this meeting Jiereby gives on behalf of all the holders of deferred shares of the company its consent to the following variation or abrogation of the rights of the deferred shares in the winding-up of the company\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnamely, that in case theJ company be wound'up and reconstructed upon the terms of' the said intended agreement the holders of the shares of the company' shall.be entitled' to the following-rights-in lieu of .their>preeeut, rights, that is to say: Every holder of deferred shares shall be entitled to 1G shares of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD1 each, -credited as fully-paid in the capital of the new company, in respect of each deferred share held by him, aud every holder of ordinary shares' shall be entitled to one fully-paid shares of.-Cl, credited as fully-paid iu the capital of the said new company, in respect to each ordinary share held by him.\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD - The secretary havingreadthenotice convening the meeting, the chair said: You will have gathered from the circulars\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDor, more particularly, the last circular\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthat it is necessary to hold three meetings to carry out the proposed arrangements, the first being that of the deferred shareholders. 1 should like very briefly tore- niind you that these meetings are called as a consequence of the unauimous expression of opinion made in ;*ohis\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbuilding when we \"held our ordinary \"meeting;* I then asked fbr fin informal1 -vote, as-some shareholder thought it would be(ypfyjfe^ T.irable\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDto=conyert7t^ and, that vote being unanimous, I,, oh behalf of the directors, gave a pledge that we would endeavor to carry Out the 'wishes expressed, provided they could be carried out ou what we considered to be equitable terms. To avoid unnecessary expense as a preliminary course, we invited', representative shareholders of both classes\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDby representative I mean holders of large numbers of shares\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDto attend meetings, at .vhi-.h we obtained expressions of opinion which justified us- and, iu fact, compelled us to call these meetings today. The . basis agreed upon by the holders of the majority of the deferred shares is that six teen shares in tlie nevv gompariy should begiven for each deferred share: Some of those who Were present at the informal meeting I have mentioned thought the proportion of twenty to one would be a reasonable figure, while others thought twenty-five to one; but Ultimately we got the holders of the great majority of the shares to agree, as I have said) to sixteen to one, and I hope we shall unanimously decide today, as deferred shareholders, to convert ori that basis. 1 do not think I need trouble-you with any more remarks on the subject, and therefore I will move the resolution which youv have heard read ; but before putting it to* the meeting I shall be pleased to answer any question you may desire to ask. A shareholder asked whether it -was really necessary to go into liquidation in order that the proposed arrangement should be carried out. The chairman: Yes, we were advised by our solicitor and, in addition, by Mr. Buckley, who, I suppose, is the greatest living authority on company law, that it is the only practicable way. There are other ways, but they are cumbersome. The preseut arrangement involved a little expense, but it is very desirable that this course should be taken. The motion was carried unanimously. A meeting of the ordinary shareholders was then convened. The chairman proposed a resolution in similar terms to that passed at the meeting of deferred shareholders, and it was seconded by Mr. Pop- kiss and carried unanimously.

My wife in despair\nrushed from oneian.ou.-. doctor to another.\nAs I was well known, my ease was talked\nabout. I was ordered a long voyage and\na final halt at some bright and sunny hermitage.\nMy wife accompanied me throughout\nItaly, struggling with sublime energy\nagainst ray weakness when she herself\nwas on tlie point of breaking down,\nstrengthening me with the unction oi\" her\nlove. She was utterly exhausted when\nwe passed back into France again. Yet\nshe had the courage to do tho whole\nRiviera with me by slow stages. We\nfinally halted at Toulon with foundered\nhorses. I had not an ounce of strength\nleft, but I was cured.\nWe were told that Toulon would be a\nsuitable spot to hunt out our last retreat.\nIn the dazzling provincial mornings iujt\nwife, animated by her secret source of\nenergy, visited villa after villa, interviewed proprietor after proprietor, taking all responsibility from me,-leaving me\nto my happy loafing, convalescent as I\nwas.\nr After a good night's sleep, toward nine\n- or ten o'clock, I used to stroll .clown the\n' lime-tree avenue to the old town. J loved\nto haunt the alleys, as narrow as a Venetian canal; as high-walled'as-a temple,\nwith the hand-breadth of dazzling blue\nsky above'. With the keen delight of a\nsick man restored to health,rI studied the\nvaried pauara'ma: black eyes, brilliant\nrags, gay poverty, exuberant misery.\n. I learned to know tho faces of-the girls,\n-' who cast languishing glances at the lieutenants of the marine stalking by, glitter1\ndug in nickel trimmings.-I had even made\n\".ii friend iu my favorite quarter. Toniuo\nwas an Italian antiquary, as garrulous as\na- Marseillais, as wily as a Genoese. He\nsold Raphael's lit unheard-of prices aud\n^ possessed-the art of making, pure-blooded\n*- Faubourg St. Antoine furniture, contemporary'with Louis the Thirteenth.\nA'chiy rarely passed that I did not spend\nan hour with Tonino. My assiduity was\n-justified. To begin with, there- was hi*,\naccent\u00E2\u0080\u0094an accent of tin .inexpressible\n-warmth\"and color, for he spoke Frenchin\nItalian. Then thei^was his wisdom, that\nexteuded from the VoiuUerfeiijing of old-\nmasters' signatures\" to the mysteries of\nToulon gossip, for Tonino was a confidant,\nand.between the purchase of a stupendous\nRaphael and a Renaissance stool, many\nan unfortunate husband told his griefs.\nFinally, there was Toniuo's artistic seiii-e;\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094ri'c.tind-priceless^treasures-\"in~his\"diugy\nshop; he nosed out marvels in places that\nno one \"would have thought promising.\n' lie sold'me old silks, brocaded in suuset\ncolors, and a thousand bibelots won by\nhim\" with Apache-like wiles froiii the\nignorance and want of the taste of the\nherd. Tonino had taken .4 liking to; ixie\n... jae^au-se I lacked jtne cduceitVd'prelt^nSibns\nof 3-iilj. usiValcustotiiers, .and, above all, b$-\neftus;ej we both divihted the[ morbid and\ndangerous soul of cplprs. Yes, Tonino\nhad taken a liking; to me. It was my\nruin.

He &igualt.d we to make haste,\nand I iiif^rrod he had something for me,\nsomethiuij Unique. Unique? Ail, yes!\nWhy did1 I not obey the impulse that\nurged tne to turn back? Tonino was .still\nbeckoning to me. I felt a strange oppression ; my feet were heavy. But it was too\nlate. Gesticulating aud talking lo'Wj Tonino hurriecl rxie through the carved panels,\nthe stuffs, and the brasses*.\n\"Ah! Ihave found you something admirable. I bought it i'or yoUr-fOr you\nonly. Look !\"\nIt was an ecstatic and mortal apparition. Against adeep, narrow landscape\u00E2\u0080\u0094\na landscape of dream, of-death, and of\nthe unknown\u00E2\u0080\u0094stood-out a woman's head\naud bust. I gave a cry of anguish and\nShook in every limb. For the head was\nthe light of shadow. It was ideal beauty;\nit was murder, vice, soul, intoxication,\nlove, and hate; it was eternity.. The head\nwas modeled in darkness and in life, with\nall the colors of the sun, but filtered\nthrough death. The face was long aud\npale, with a line of thought; the chin was\nnarrow aud strong\u00E2\u0080\u0094a criminal chin; the\ncruel mouth\u00E2\u0080\u0094cut by a dagger's stroke in\nthe sensual flesh\u00E2\u0080\u0094attracted like blood\nand kisses; the brow was smooth and\ngrief-Jaden; and, in the sockets of a\ncorpse, eyes, with all the colors of the\nrainbow, that seemed lakes of nightmare,\nin wlio-e depths Jay tlie infinity-'of time,\nand the eternity of the world; eyes of\nmilk and of blood filled with torture, disillusion, voluptuousness, drpams, riddle?;\nimplaceable eyes! From this ferocious\nhead fell waves of red-cold.'hair whivh\nundulated like an hetaire's and parted\nlike a- virgin's. Long, line locks Mowed\nflown brow and cheeks drenched in blood\nand sweat. And it was the head of the\nChrist\u00E2\u0080\u0094it was the head of the Woman\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe head of endless su_l't.riug past, and\nfuture\u00E2\u0080\u0094the head of evil\u00E2\u0080\u0094the head of the\nflesh\u00E2\u0080\u0094the head of the Sphinx!\nBelow the clean-cut line of the \"jaw appeared a long, supple throat; around it\nmy imagination pain red-a, huge, bony\nhand, compressing it slowly and surely\nwith steel-like fingers*, or the blade of a\nguillotine,,from beneath which the head\nwould rise as sad as dawn and as fhiming\nas a torch of hell. From this thioat the\nshoulders sloped away under a rail shot\nwith faint gleams. On the grief-laden\nbrow a precious gem trembled below the\nsilk of the hair, and the brightness of\ndaybreak oozed from it.\ntA shudder of terror ran through me.\nAs I stretched the hands of a miser, a fanatic and a madman toward the picture,\nTonino spoke. His voice sounded miles\naway: \"A young woman\u00E2\u0080\u0094I don't know\nher\u00E2\u0080\u0094brought it to me last night. I was\nputting up-the shutters. She slipped in\nall at once, and\u00E2\u0080\u0094I'm not superstitious, I\nhardly believe in ghosts, but I was frightened, for the pastel is her portrait. She\nspoke rapidly\u00E2\u0080\u0094a voice like a harp. She\nneeded money at once. I gave her what\nshe asked\u00E2\u0080\u0094it wasn't much. I said to myself I'd keep it for you, i'or it's as beautiful as the Italian Primitives ; there's gen-\nins in it. The gold pieces were barely in\nher hand when she disappeared, without\na word. This morning I asked myself if I\nhad beeu dreaming, until 1 saw the pic-\ntuie again. Weil, it's yours! Take it\nalong.\"\nI felt that he was he was afraid. I myself was filled with an unreasoning fear.\n.Shuddering, I wrapped the frame in a\n.doth and carried away the masterpiece.\nMy wife was waiting for me at the hotel ;-\nshe announced that, she had finally rented\nan ideal villa. Suddenly she stopped,\nalarmed:\n\"What is the matter?\" You are so\npale!\"\n'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0-Nothing!\"-I .said;, \"it's this,\" and I\n\"natched the wrapping from the picture.\nThe head burst forth, lufninoue. My wife\ndrew'back, fascinated; her'eyes sought\nthose other eyes and '.-he-smothered a cry.\n\"It's terrible ! Oh, it's beautiful !\"\n\"Isn't it?\"Isaid. .\"It's-the universe of\n.perversity and doubt, nnd- it's the whole\nof love as well !\"_;'. *\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \"Aud it's life,\" murmured my wife in a\nhollow tone.\n\"It's everything !\" I cried enraptured ;\n\"the awful perplexities one distills beside\nan open grave\u00E2\u0080\u0094divinity, madness, tenderness. And then,'the-eyes ! Look at the\neyes ! .They are gazing at a charnel-house\nthey have opened, aud they love with an\nimmense love everything they have killed.\nAnd tlie lips ! \" In them I divine a poison,\n.but they attract one irrestiblyj they bewitch one\".

The hair \" *a\n\"Stop !\" stammered my wife ; laying her\nhand on my mouth ; \"stop ! You are mad\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094it hurts you, it makes you suffer.\" '\nI confessed : \"Yes, you are right. It is\ntoo beautiful. One mustn't look too long\nat such beauty, or, rather, one must get\n~us\"e\"d to~ifrra~s~one~get.s~.fsed to the idea of\ndeath. In a few days we shall become\naccustomed to this strange poem of terror\nand of grace.\"\nI covered the picture and was careful\nnot tospelvk of it again.\" But it was* im-\nplacablj*- printed on my retina. Aud I\ncaught myself in the midst of my reveries\ncoutetu_ilating it a\u00C2\u00BB if I Ijacl it\" before my\neyest\nAs soOn as we wer\u00E2\u0080\u009Ee settled in ou.r soai\nside villa, the temptation -,w.aa too strong,\nfor me. And in a room tlirtt we were- to\nOfJcupy-.the most\"! hung thepastel on/.itheV\nwall, after J had found; a good light for it,\nslightly slanting, without the southern\ncrudity. From that time on, the Head\nlived with us shared our live And our intimacy! There it hung, gazing down on\n11S with its eyes of carmine and of haze.\nIt weighed our hours and looked at us as\nTime looks at one. Our demonstrations\nof alfectiou were para Izyed wheii a erUel,\nsarcastic smile seemed to stray about the\nscarlet lips. It commented on our gestures and On our words. If I spoke of the\nfuture, my restless eyes, suddenly turning\ntowards its eyes.read this verdict: \"There\nis no future.\" If I discussed plans of\nwork, if I constructed the scheme of a\ndrama the keen, piercing look spat the\nvenom at me : \"But do you not feel that\nyou have no creative power left ?.\" And\nthus it was with everything good* noble\naspiring.\nNothingness invaded our hearts, and in\nthis nook, all sun and sap, life grew burdensome.

The glaucous trunks of the plane-trees grew dark ;\na sooty circle gathered around the sun\nand on the sea; everywhere the Head appeared, wrapped iu the breakers, outlined\nagainst the crashing snow of the foam,\nmodeled in the horizon's clouds, Or brutally sculotured in the profile of the reefs.\nOnce in a terrible storm we saw it rise\ndazzling in the livid chaos of the sky-line.\nThe eyes were greenish lights, and the\ncriminal chin was revealed in a jagged\nflash of lightning.

I\ndid not dream of resisting. I obeyed. I\ndrew near. When I was close, quite close,\nthe eyes shot their rays to the very back\nof my brain, the lips half-opened once\nmore and whispered :\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"I love you.\"\nMy knees gave way, I sank to the floor.\nAll at once the blackness of night invaded\nthe room, and the.Head shone phpsphor-\nescently. I grsped desperately: \"Who\nare you ?\" Who are you ?\" But now the\nblood-red lips stayed tightly closed, and\nonly the eyes spoke. They said :\n\"I have no past, for I am of all time.\nI love you, that is all. Through all the\neternities I have loved beings as I love\nynu imw. In the black iris of.my tawny\neyes they sought the dark problem of life\nand death.

Then\nthey saw that my eyes had grown cold\nand gray, and that they were Doubt\nagainst which one stumbled because one\nmust not know. But I loved them and I\nset my teeth in them.

I suffer the world's\nmartyrdom, but I must have blood. I am\nthe one who loves you.\"\nThis is what the eyes said: they fell silent ; but they plunged'deepeivand deeper\ninto mine.
