Bismarck Refuses to Assume His New Title and Will Stick hy His Family Name. A Virginia Law. Richmond, Va., April 3.—No littlestir waa caused here to-day by the report that under the privileges of the bill recently passed by the Legislature in cor- porating the sporting and athletic nsso- ciation of Norfolk, which allow., this club to have prize fights, Sullivan and Jackson would be invited to fight without molestation in Virginia. The move lias been started in sporting circles. Opinions are divided among citizens us to whether tbe fight ought to be permitted. Sound lawyers assert that any interference on the part of the police with the lighters would be illegal, as the law clearly gives the association the right to have these fights on their grounds. Advocates of this move are arguing tbat it will attract thousands from all over the U. S. They think that when people learn tbat a fight is to take place in the state, whose latest law gives a club the right to have prize fights, and that therefore the principals and spectatores need have no fear of arrest, crowds will come from all quarters. Of course tbe sporting and athletic club of Norfolk will make tremendous profits from gate fees alone. It is conceded that tbe Norfolk club has a big monopoly until the legislature meets and repeals the law. Some very savage comments are heard on the subject. Second Auditor Ruflinssaid: "I hope tbey will fight, which they have a perfect right to do under tbe charter granted, and I hope they will kill each other, and that it wilt teach tbe legislators the necessity of carefully considering all bills beforo they paBB them,and.itwill show the governor the necessity of reading all bills before he approves them. Major Benjamin H. Nash, one of the most prominent citizens says: "Let them come and fight and have a good time generally. The recent farmers' legislature gave them a legal right to fight." John S. Curtis, a member of tlie very legislature which passed the bill without knowing it, said: If an attempt should be made to have a prize fight in this state, I believe Governor McKinney would stop it if he had to order out all of the military of Virginia, and I would be one to volunteer to assist in breaking it up." It is" understood that Sullivan has expressed bis willingness to come to Virginia. A Clnctiiuattl Sensation. NkwYobk, Aprils.—The Sun prints the following despatch from Cincinnati: A sensation was created in thiB city today by the announcement that Murat Halstead had been retired as .managing- editor of the Commercial Gazette. Two weeks ago Mr. Halstead left for New York, and since his arrival in that city reports have been sent out tbat the well- known editor would make New York Ids home and edit the paper from there. But there is another side to the story. During the last campaign Halstead made several mistakes tbat were costly to the republican party, and the stockholders of-the paper. At the nniHial election 2 weeks ago the stockholders made a row over Halstead's management of the Saper and tbe result was the board of irectors politely told Mr. Halstead that if tie was anxious to live in New York he could do so. He went to the big city, where he now resides, and the only thing heard from him ib a column of matter that appears in tbe paper every day. The managing editor Ib Richarcl A Smith. About Time. New York, April 8.—The commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard has received orders to put the U. S. Ship Enterprise out of commission. Free America. New York, April 8.—Over sixty Chinese have sold their laundries in thiB city and left in a body for Hong Kong by way of British Columbia, and a still larger company of laundryinen will, it iB said, soon follow them. The reason for this sudden exodus iB said to be the fear of persecution from the association of white laundryinen who lately formed a plan of campuign against them. , Fair Weather. San Fra.-cisco, April 3.—Fair weather with tbe exception of local rain in tbe western portion from Portland northward, ' is predicted until to-morrow morning. _ Ourloui DUmarek. Washington, D. C, April 3.—The State Department bas been advised as to the subjects discussed by Prince Bismarck and United States Minister Phelps on the day of the former's resignation. The Prince wanted to know first, what the Pan-American Congress was about, and secondly the purpose of the United States in strengthening its navy so enormously. He was told thut the object of the Pan-American meeting had been fully set forth in tbe circular calling it, and that the purpose of the United States in strengthening her navy was to be able to carry out fully any treaty she might make with the republics south of her. Brutal Bobberi. Quriiec, April 3.—Father Corrivault, the parish priest of Disraeli, waB attacked in the presbytery Inst night by burglars, who robbed him of his money and shockingly ill-treated him. His recovery is doubtful. Thev threw him down stairs, and a lamp which he held burst, setting fire to his night clothes. To extinguish the fire his assailants dragged him out of the house and rolled him Tn the Bnow, where they left him after lie partly revived. He afterward managed to get back to his boudoir, where he waa found in the morning unconscious and bathed in blood. Ungrateful Emin. London, April 3.—The Pall MaU Gazette publishes an interview with Sir Francis De Winton, President of the Emin Bey Relief Committee. Sir Francis, after expressing bitter indignation at the course pursued by Emin iu giving the benefit of his African expedition and knowledge to Germany, declared he has in hts possession letters from Emin in which the latter begs to be relieved from his precarious position nt Wadelai. Winton regards Emin Bey as one absolutely devoid of either gratitude or generosity, and asserts that his action in cutting away from Stanley, and the English will lower him in the estimation of the civilized world, A Mining Earl. London, April 8.—Hon. Henry Boyle started to-day for Canada in search of his eldest brother, Viscount Boyle, who through their father's sudden death has become Earl of Shannon. Seven years ago Viscount Boyle resigned his commission in the army, when he was joined by his brother Henry in purchasing a ranch in Western Canada. This undertaking proved a failure, and the latter gentleman returned to England. Viscount Boyle has since been unheard of, except through an inn-keeper who saw him once two years ago near a mining camp. Efforts were mode last year to discover his whereabouts without any result, which is most inexplicable as he was once a well-known member of the Canadian Parliament. He now succeeds to all the family titles and estates, Discontented Student*. St. Petehbbuhg, Aprils.—The Curator of the University is unable lo calm the excitement of the students, and police have been ordered on permanent duty. Detachments of Cossacks and Gendarmes surrounded the military ncedamy and ncademy of medicine, wnile the police were making arrests. The outbreak on the part of the students is in no wise due to political affairs, but is chiefly the outcome of discontent brought about by the arbitrary spirit of the now statutes governing the affairs of the university which have replaced the more liberal regulations previously in force. The Publle Beoognlsed. Rome, April 8.—The Pope has finally decided what shall be the position of the Vatican respecting the Brazilian republic. The nuncio Spalverini linn been instructed to order the bishops and clergy of Brazil to recognize the republic on condition that the rights of the Catholic Church are respected. Connaught'i Vliit. Montreal, April 2.—The following revised programme of the tour of the Duke and Duchess of Connaught has been received by a friend ef the party here. They were due to arrive at Hong Kong from Bombay on Monday, by way of Ceylon, Penang nnd Singapore. They are to remain at Hong Kong till April 4th arrive at Shanghai, April 7th; leave the same day and arrive at Yokohama via the Inland Sea on April 14th; leave on May 8th j arrive at Vancouver on May 22nd, and leave on May 24th. Completely Desolated. New. Orleans, April 2.—Huntington has been completely abandoned hy Its BOO inhabitants, about half of whom, with some of their stock, are crowded together on the levee suffering from exposure, sickness and destitution. Others nre living more comfortably in box cars. Many houses have floated away. Some 1,500 residents of tho neighborhood are also crowded upon the leveeB or have fled to the highlands. A similar condition of affairs prevails in nearly all the country around the break. The backwater is spreading far into the Interior. The Skipurth break increased yesterday to 150 feet, the Vitre CrevnBse to 1,100 and others in proportion. The situation below Red River is much improved, but between that point and Helena the outlook is very gloomy. The land Purchase BUI. London, April 2.—The criticisms of the Conservative Dublin Express on tho Government's Land Purchase Bill are most significant comments on the meas- ere that have yet been made and are utterances which cannot be ignored by the Ministry. The Express has hitherto defended the Government through thick and thin, and its expressions of opinion have repeatedly beeu quoted by the Tories in the House of Commons as representing the sentiments of the Irish followers of the party. This being the fact there is much curiosity in Liberal circles to observe whether the Government will accept its condemnation of the Land- Bill as a public bribe to the peasantry and a measure imperiling Irish loyalism to tlie prospects of the Unionist cause, as a frank expression of loyal public opinion in Ireland. Bismarck's Farewell. Berlin, Apr. 2.—The Vossische Zeitung says that at the farewell interview between Prince Bismarck and the Emperor, the former positively declined to accept the proffered dukedom of Lauenherg, declaring that it was his desire to live in history merely by the family name which he had made historic. The Emperor insisted upon the ex-Chancellor's acceptance of the title. Tho latter said his decision wus irrevocable, aud the Em- fieror declared that his was equally bo. t was agreed that Bismarck should not personally bear tho title though it wns his. Press Commenti.. Lonuon, April 2.—The London press is unanimous in its bitter denunciation of the ingratitude displayed by Emin Pasha in entering the service of Germany and organising an expedition to return to the equatorial province he formerly governed. Though great stress is laid upon his nullification of the work done by Stanley iu rescuing Kinin from his perilous position and conducting him in sufety to tne seaboard, it iB quite obvious that the inspiration of the articles with English interests iu Africa, and that if these interests were not menaced Emin might go whither he pleased, without the slightest objection on the part of any one in England. It is perfectly well known that Emin for some time past has been desirous of returning to this province, audit is equally well understood that he has never forgiven Stanley for "rescuing" him, or to put it plainer, for making his desertion of his post and journey to Bugamoyo a matter of compulsion. While nobody is surprised that Emin has entered tho service of Germany, it is nevertheless a matter of regret that he has done so. OUR VICTORIA LETTER. The Chinese Have Gone. Yesterday all the Chinese hod carriers and bricklayers' helpers employed on buildings being erected in the city were dismissed, and their places given to white men. The action of the contractors in thus dismissing the cheap labor employed by them, is due to the resolution of the Bricklayers' Union not to allow any of its members to work where the foreign and distasteful element was also employed. To meet the bricklayers, who gave the contractors due notice of their intention, the latter agreed to comply with their request, although tho use of white labor means the Iobs of a very couslderabe margin of the profits to the builders.— Wednesday's Colonist. , ..:■■■. ■ *—•—■» Funeral of the Late Edward Allen.

All the member's of the Provincial executive and legislative assembly attended, as well as to large representation of tho British Columbia Pioneer society, as a last mark of respect to an old and popular member.

City Improvement!—J amen llay Begins tu Effluviatc—Two Famoun Sealing Schooners --- A ltellglous Service Strangely Disturbed—Scenes at the Park on Sunday Afternoon. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Victoria, April 1.—The Queen City is going to spend a good deal of monoy on improvements this season. On many of the streets public works of various kinds can be noted in progress. The park is receiving a full share of attention and roads are being cut through the Bolid rock and, nature's rugged face made to shine in all the beauty of Bodded slopes und rustic work. There is, however, one thing which will cry out at no distant date for summary notice, und that is the shore of James Bay. Now that the nun's rays are beaming strong enough to be felt without the uid of a burning glass, this shore is beginning to send forth what our Anglo-Siixon forefathers would have culled a "stink,' and one, too, that is neither pleasant nor mild. Take into account, however, the various ingredients of this fulsome beach and wonder ceases. First of all there is a large soap factory near the edge of the water and the scouringa of its vats go a long way to making fiah in James Buy weary of life, tallow, bones and refuse,t oil and grease also saunter out of this odoriferous repository of slippery offensiveness. Close by the soap factory there is un Indian street- no further remarks are necessary. Then comes a Chiuese rookory, and tne same may be said of it as of the Siwash dens. On the opposite side garbage of all kinds is dumped by the cart-load, and it is here that after life's fitful fever the rejected oyster-enn slumbers reposefully in the mud, and the discarded butter- tub taints every gale with a margarine flavor. Now, wlien the noonday sun enters into partnership with these noisome articles the result is better left to fancy's airy pencil than written about or smelt. Should the coming summer prove as hot and aultry as the last, nothing can prevent some disease growing out of this neglected shore. Tho two sealing schooners, Ocean Belle, 122 days out from Halifax, N.S., and the Pathfinder, last from Port Townsend, and famous throughout the country for her seizure by the United Stares authorities, have beeu visited by great numbers of people eager to look at the two trim-looking little ships. Tbe Pathfinder ieft yesterday for the sealing grounds, and the Ocean Belle will sail in a day or two, after provisioning, not in the service. Last Sunday evening those who were listening attentively among the congregation in St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, heard wild, unwonted sounds arising froui an adjoining house, just as the plates were being handed round for the collection. There wns fir.se a crash of crockery, a series of thumps and stampings nnd then u voice, thut trembled with pent-up emotion nnd rye whiskey, yelled: "Let go me hair, you , or I'll bo the death o' yez." This poem in blank verse was seconded by more sounds of bat tin, and, to the practiced cars of more than one worshipper in the congregation, it did seem uncommonly like as if a first-class scrapping match was in lurid progress next door. The agonies of those sports who had to sit ana hear the service out can only be compared to the anguish of the man who is sont for and can't come, lly when there iB nn A 1 dog fight at the other end of the come. DEACON HILL AND ITS Fit KQU ENTERS. Beacon Hill Park was gay with pretty feminine costumes and almost as pretty male toggery, last Sunday afternoon. The day was warm aud bright, the air clear and balmy. One.could see a vast distance up or down the straits aud the only clouds in the sky were the fleecy masses resting airly upon the summits of the Olympians. Just enough breeze was stirring from the south to render walking delightful, and as one paced along the cliffs and listened to the never- ceasing plash of the waves upon the gravelly beach, it was impossible not to feel refreshed aud good-natured and willing to put up with almost anything from almost anybody. But somehow or other some devil's, emissary is sure to push his cloven hoof into every little earthly paradise nud give pessimistic substantiation to Bishop Holler's famous reflection on the inhabitants of Ceylon: " Soft blow the balmy breezes O'or Ceylon's favored Isle; Whore every prospect pIchhub, Ami only tunn Is vile. In this instance thore wus a seat containing six robust young blacguards, who seemed to be full of animal spirits, especially animal; their mirthful frolicsome gaiety took the form of bawling grossly insulting remarks to any ladies who might be so unfortunate as to pusB near them. The iudiguut looks of some and the startled air of others of the ladies appeared to have a most exhilarating effect upon IliOBe rufllans, and their coarse gallons could be heard nil oyer the park. There were no policmon present, nnd get there is not a a loon within half a mile of the park. The noxt intrusion of the cloven loot wat* in tho form of somo horse-races. The riders were young; young enough to be still untenable to n stiff and spicy tug strap iu the grasp of a strong paternal bund. The nags were bathed from ears lo fetlocks iu steaming sweat, breasts spiutored with foam, and seemingly pretty well jaded. But the young fellows had appetites for sport, hard to glut, and so they ran their horses at break-neck Bpeed round the course in two races while the animals were in tho condition described. Every thing spoke in the plainest manner of Sabbath calm and rest, and the stranger wub perhaps just about to remark how favored and blessed by nature Victoria was, when round came those clattering scoundrels, whooping and shrieking like Apaches nud raising clouds of dust nnd starting every dog, irrespective of size, in the park to bark vociferously. Then the stranger waa not to remark that It looked more like Monday morning in a boiler factory than anything ulse he hud Been lately. The next instance of cloven foot was of a quieter, moro orderly and if anything more wicked sort than any of the others. He was unelderly man- some might have called him an old man —weli known in the community, holding a position of great honor aud responsibility, chosen by a largo number of the people of British Columbia to watchovertnoirintercsts in the country's councils. She was a youiig woman wno had seen the Beamy side of life, awfully. She was not poor, but all her money could not bring back her character. In her faco every line waB indicative of indulgence. In that ledger every dissipation was posted with fearful exactitude. Arm in arm, the pair wandered over the hill, chatting und laughing; chatted about nnd laughed at by the unkind and the thouglitlesa; he sincerely pitied by those who know him and avoided him and his companion by turning out of tho path. Her blatant shnmelessuess admired by some nnd denounced by others It wns a strange, mid happily, an unusual sight. The editorial and business offices of Tub Columbian have been removed to the new Powell Block, Columbia street, where parties having business to transact with any of our departments are requested to call. Our now offices have not beon completely fitted up yot, but it wns doomed advisable for greater convenience to have the whole working of the establishment under one roof. *te COBREBPONDENCE, THE OLD HOSPITAL QUESTION. Editor Columbian—Sir: With great reluctance I spend my time and occupy your space by noticing some articles which have appeared in your columns in regard to the old hospital buildings, but I think it due to the public that these articles should be briefly noticed. The writer of them, with a talent for hospital paradoxes, seems to delight in astonishing gifted mortals with ingenious nonsense, like a boy blowing bubbles, etc. A hospital iB a good place for sick people to thrive aud get well in, but u hospital cleansed und purified, ia a source of death and disease to all around it. But ordinary readers love the marvellous, and we have no objection to either marvel or paradox, so long as one ia paid for and the other written for the puzzle column, but we do object to them when put beforo us in a manner to seriously affect us. Whon such paradoxical statements are thrust upon an unreflecting public, thoy need full explanation in order to confer value upon them. Tho dogmas expressed, we are prepared to deny in toto, as not axiomatic, and the writer of said articles has not even given us a ghost of reasoning in support of his dogma, which, though very clear to himself, is not any clearer than mud to others. The donation of $25, which the said writer offored, is no doubt to be used for the purpose of catching the deadly microbes uud shipping them to New York or Montreal to have their photographs saken for their better inspection by the board of health and the \ ancouver authority. We ore sorry to find fault, but consistency asks for light. Physician. »—•—♦ — THE OLD HOSPITAL KEPORT. Editor Columrian—Sir:—With reference to the communication in your last night's issue, over the name C. J. Fagan, permit me Bpace for a few words. Dr. Smith, Dr. Robertsou and myself were instructed by the Board of Health to inspect certain buildings and report thereon. We did so. Our report was accepted by the Board and adopted by the Council. We might, doubtless, for your correspondent's benefit, have inserted in that report explanatory clauses, reasons, Ac, yet, as the fact of his existence did not impress us at tbe time, we did not think this neceasary. The Council wub satisfied with the report or would not hove adopted;it. If, however, reasons for our recommendation should at any time be deemed necessary, these will be fully given, not to my friend, however, or at his "suggestion" (unless the City, iu grateful recognition of hiB $25 oiler should appoint him its "Sanitary authority") but to the Board and Council with whom alone we have to do. My friend's "duty to himself m\A others compels him to speak." His high sense of duty is to be commended and I give him full credit for It. But ono other reference to his letter shall I make, and do so by saying that the members of the commision whose report he criticises are possibly as competent judges as he, of what should be styled "not tinkering". My f riend'scacooef hes scribendi assumes, at times, an acute form and at such critical periods, relief must be found. Hence his pathetic appeals, hence Iub keen sense of duty. The present occasion was no doubt, long looked forward to, as likely to afford temporary relief—an opportunity not to be neglected. Yours ti nly, I. M. MacLean. April 3rd, 1800. . *—+—» THE OLD HOSPITAL AGAIN. Editor Columrian.—Sir.—A report in four paragraphs presented by three doctors to the city council last Monday night is—a great curiosity. In paragraph No. 1 they say the front and wings of the old hospital are safe and may be utilized as residences. In the next sentence they suggest that it is not a safe place for tenants, out may be safe enough when it is plastered nnd painted. In paragraph No. 2 they declare that plaster ami paint are not sufficient remedies, and that sulphur must be burned under the buildings. Is not that comical? Plaster and paint must be used to keep something in and sulphur on fire used to destroy it. In paragraph No. 3 they condemn the buck part of the building and recommend its destruction by fire. Paragraph No. 4 is presented as a shield to save that part of the building in which the Campbell family reside. A summary of tho report would read as follows. Pari of tne old hospital is "safe," it is "not safe," it will be "safe" when it is plastered and painted, it will "not be safe" until sulphur fires are burned under it. The report is not evidence, it is not worth four-pence, but it mav cost seventy-five dollars. Ib the Hoard of Health satisfied, after hearing such evidence-, to declare that plaster, paint and sulphur will •leal roy all the genua of disease contained in .hat rotten old house I The report should be preserved as a sample of what may be obtained in tho Royal City from three doctors and for a fee'of $75.00. After looking over that report again I may venture* to suggest that the threo gentlemen should In future write their reports in Latin. April 2nd. A Citizen. Proposed flume Law. The bill submitted to the House by a select committee appointed to look into the game laws of the Province, contains a number of important changes.

To great and good men the reign owes the position it occupies as the grandest in modern history, but it should not for one moment he forgotten that above all, the Queen herself has set an example of purity of life and high morality in public affairs. Her great glory is that she has been a constitutional sovereign, and of her it may truly be said, " Who Is good? She " who respects the decrees of the legis- " lature and bows to every positive law and every moral obligation." NOTES AND COMMENTS. THE DAILY COLUMBIAN THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 8, 1890. THE VOTERS* LISTS. Therr are some points in the return of voters in the different constituencies to which H may be well to direct attention at this time, when the whole subject is exciting more than usual interest. The return has two columns, one of which gives the number actually on the list, and the other the number of applications for registration. A comparison of these seems to show that the good folks on the Island, especially iu the constituencies near the Capital, have been much more "forehanded" than the Maiulauders iu working up their list. Except in Nanaimo, the number of applications is comparatively light, while in the different divisions of New Westminster District they amount to more than fifty per cent, of the registered vote—showing fresh work—and in the other Mainland constituenties they are practically nil, showing that the work is still to be done. A count of the returns gives: RKMBT'D APPLI- VOTKBH. CANTS. Mainland 6,748 2.48< Island 6.M1 HI Majority on Mainland 207 l,H6l Or a total majority on the Mainland of 3,073, which is much smaller than it should be. As we have already said, however, it is evident that that the lists have been much better worked up on the Island, and when we consider the comparatively small area of the constituencies there, it is not at all to be wondered at that this should he. the case. Some idea of what the difference should be may be gained from the annexed comparison of New Westminster witli the whole Island: beoist'd voters. Vancouver Inland (six constituencies-... 6,641 N. W. City, District, and Vancouver 4.178 Majority on Vancouver Island 2,868 applicants. N.W. City, District, and Vancouver 2,889 Vancouver Island, six constituencies 640 Majority In N.W. Constituencies 1,818 We thus have a majority of registered voters on the Island of 2,368, less excess of applicants in New Westminster City, District, aud Vancouver, of 1,813, leaving the total majority on tho whole of Vancouver Island, over the three Mainland constituencies named, only 655 —which proves pretty clearly that if the interior constituencies on the Mainland were worked up, the Mainland division of the Province would show a very large majority of voters. We should have said that there are no returns from Cassiar, and the Mainland total of voters Is, therefore, smaller than it should be, by just the number registered In that constituency. THE QUEEN AND HER REIGN The rumored intention of the Queen to abdicate the throne iu favor of the Prince of Wales is a piece of intelligence which must be of interest to every loyal child of the Empire. No mutter what the political bias of any man, It must, we believe, be admitted by all, that the reign of the present sovereign forms the most eventful chapter in British history. both for the immense strides of science, art, nay civilization itself, us well as the material and moral progress of that great Empire of which we Canadians are sons and daughters. Should the rumor referred to prove actual fact In the near future, Her Majesty will have wisely nnd well ruled for fifty-three years, her reign having only been exceeded in length by those of Henry III., who held the sceptre for fifty-six years, and George UL, whose reign extended to the lengthy span of fifty-nine years.lt is no exaggeration to Bay that the progress of mankind during the years since 1837 has been startling and phenomenal, and in the van of the p'-ogressive movement has ever been tlie we to which we belong. When Victoria ascended the throne the first electric telegraph system was not yet constructed, and the Penny Postage ot Rowland Hill was a thing deemed but the dreamy idea of an enthusiast. The repeat of the corn laws took place nine years after the young monarch had assumed the reins of government, whilst the first International Exhibition and the discovery of gold in Australia led some to hope that an unparalleled and continuous prosperity had dawned for the Empire in 1851 .Two years later a step towards greater freedom for the press was made by the abolition of the duty on advertisements, and the removal of Jewish disabilities in 1800 proved that a large minded toleration was abroad. The abolition of the paper duty iu 1801 and slavery in tho United States iu 1862, were events iu their several ways of the greatest moment, whilst the passage of the Reform Bill and the abolition of transportation of convicts each served as landmarks on the road to liberty and a higher and nobler ideal of government. In 1873, by the Act of Mr. Foster, it wns made possible for every child in the Mother Country to receive Its right, a good education. In 1877 the Queen was proclaimed Empress of India, and ten years later, amid the heartfelt thanksgiving of her people, she celebrated the fiftieth year of her beneficent reign, During these years New Zealand has become a separate colony and Queensland a province, whilst the great Dominion lias beeu moulded into shape, under the guidance of wise statesmanship. In this place we do not care to refer to the wars and mutinies, or, In fact, the seamy side of the picture at all. Great and good men have played their parts, and, having served their Queen and the Empire, have gone over to the great majority. So great has been the multitude of these that the bare record of their names would prove bewildering, but It Is a fact that never has any other equally lengthy period of British history Lord Salisbury, who in his younger days was as lank and abnormally thin his nephew, Mr. Arthur Balfour, the Secretary for Ireland, has now become exceedingly stout, and even unwieldy. While staying at Sandringham with the Prince and Princess of Wales a few weeks ago, he was persuaded to permit himself to be weighed, and tipped the beam at 230 pounds. Here is the way the boomers "boom" south of the line, according to Texas Siftings: "The soil of California is bo fruitful," said a native of the Golden State, "that a man who accidentally dropped a box of matches iu his field discovered the next year a fine forest of telegraph poles." "That's nothing to my state," said a native of Illinois. "A cousin of mine who lives there lost a button off hiB jacket, and in less than a month he found a bran new suit of clothes hanging on a fence near the Bpot." A story Ib just now being told of Mr. Stanley which, if not strictly accurate in all its details, is at least characteristic of the explorer. The Egyptian officials had become aware that there waa a conflict of opinion as to whether Mr. Stanley Is an Englishman or au American, and resolved to settle the point. To this end Blum Paaha, tbe Under Secretary of State, was commissioned to interrogate Stanley. The Pasha called on him, and in the course of conversation mentioned the purpose of his visit. Stanley looked at his questioner for a moment, then, with a smile, replied, "I am a cosmopolitan." Mr. Justice MacMahon's observations when passing sentence upon W. R. Moffat the other day should be read by every young man in Toronto who occu pies a position of trUBt. It Ib the first step which costs. Once a young fellow takes money that does not belong to him, with or without the intention of "paying it back," he usually persists in stealing until he is found out and sent to the penitentiary. There is no surer way of starting on the down grade than that which Moffatt seems to have adopted, namely, living beyond Mb means and trying to make something on the outside by speculating.—Mail. The courts at Tiilis, Russia, have a queer case before them in the suit of a man to recover $165 from a professional assassin. He had hired the asaas.ain to kill an enemy, paying him $75 down and promising $75 more when the job was done. The assassin wub to bring one of the murdered man's ears as a proof of death. He did so, and received $75 with an additional $15 as a tip. A few days afterward the man met his enemy alive and with both ears intact. On investigation he discovered that the assassin hod received $100 from the intended victim to deceive his employer by showing him a dead pauper's ear.— Ex. Edmund Yates says in the New York Tribune: The Berlin correspondent of the London daily press have dilated on the physical resemblance between the new chancellor of the German Empire and Prince Bismarck. There is, indeed, a striking personal likeness except in one particular, the voice, which lias not been pointed out. Nothing astouiahes those who see and hear the late chancellor for the first time so much as the apparent incongruity between his physique and the weakness of his speech, Listening to him, one Ib reminded of] a whale, which, though an enormous animal, has a very small throat, and might be choked by a herring. General von Caprivi, on the other hand, has a clear, sonorous voice, strengthened by much use In the open air. It must be admitted that the English people are very proud of their chief men, especially those who play a leading part in the political or constitutional development of the people. There waB unveiled in the library of the British House of Commons, very recently, a bust of the late Lord Farnborough, who richly deserved such a tribute from the nation. The unfamiliar name is the title worn for a short time before his death by Sir Thomas Ersktne May, the great authority on parliamentary procedure, whose work will live as long as the Institutions, forms and practices he expounded so ably. Mr. Glad stone, who was present at the unveiling, said that even If May "had never pro dueed his great and superlative work on the proceedings of Parliament, another work of his, the Parliamentary History of England, would have entitled him to honor even among the greatejt of constitutional writers." May haa so fully considered tho principles that underlie parliamentary procedure that it is safe to say his authority will never get out of date.—Empire.

In 1888 tho total value of taxable property in the city limits was hardly $1,000,000, while to-day it aggregates nearly $5,000,000. In 1887 the population was 3,000, now it is over 8,000. The City Council has undertaken immense public works, and a large number of public and private buildings are under construction. Tho city is now the Fresh Water Terminus of the Canadian Pacific, and by the first of July next it will be connected by the New Westminster Southern with the great American transcontinental routes.

All About Railroad Kidney, Telephone Tlnnltui, BleetrlMl Sun-Stroke, Tele- people Eje and Numeroua Other Hew-Fsngled Ailments. As every pleasure in' life brings its corresponding pain or bitterness, so it may be said that every civilized aid to existence devised for human kind develops an agency for Introducing new ills to torment alike Buffering flesh and the .HsGulapian brain. The invention of steam locomotion, telegraph and telephone instruments, electric lighting and various time and labor-saving machines, while adding so muoh to public comfort and convenience, have also brought into existence ourious diseases, which, according to the Times and Register, form interesting contributions to medical science, although less interesting and more expensive to the suffering victim. Railroad spine, or railroad shock, an affection unknown beforo travel by rail beuarae so common, has been a familiar malady for some timo; but one more recent is railroad kidney, a disease not unlike Uright's dtsensQt but of nervous origin, due to concussions received on railroads. There is a disturbance of tho general, system, especially of tho function.1, of the kidneys, tho symptoms disappearing when the sufferer loaves his regular work. The overuse of the telephone produces a curious disease, in some respects a form of asemasia, a volitionul overstraining of certain powers by whioh we perceive spoken words whon we can not see the speaker or perceive his gestures or the movement of his lips, thus creating confusion ot Ideas, general nervousness and lack of self-control. Certain of the senses are dovelopcd at the expense of others, tho natural equilibrium being unbalanced. Telephone tinnitus, aural overpressure, is caused by the constant strain of tbe auditory apparatus in persons who use tho telephone continually, tbe ear becoming intolerant of the tinkle of the bell. The symptoms are buzzing noises in the ear, dizziness, neuralgic pains, and, In some instances, a sub-inflammatory condition of the membrana tympani. The telegraphers' cramp and the professional akinesia are of tho same order of affections as the writers' cramp or the violinists* oramp. Electrical sunstroke is an affection that attacks those who are exposed to the intense rays of the electric aro used in .fusing or welding metals, protection against this being afforded by wearing a mask of gray taffeta and gray eye-glasses. Op- thalmla photoeleotrloa is an inflammation of the eye in persons employed about electric lights, and is caused by looking at these brilliant lights at a short distance away. A succession of bright spots rapidly follow one another over tho visual field, and at night there is inability to look at light without pain and a profuse flow ot tears; the eyelids are swollen and movements of the eye painful. This lasts a few hours, - and is succeeded by a feeling of painful weariness. The ordinary telescopic vision is a disoaseby whioh the visual .field Is limited concentrically, and the sufferer can finally see nothing except that which is directly in front of his eye; .this condition being due to lack of nutrition of the retina or to some disease of tbe periphery. An affection of vision similar to the telescopic eye may also be produced by the action of quinine. The telescopic eye peculiar to light-house keepers is a thickening and enlarging of the bony walls ot the orbit, caused by the persistent and repeated pressure at the end of tho telescope upon the surroundings of the eye, inducing a chronic form of periostitis or ostitis: the eye gradually protruding, but not becoming myopic or astigmatic. The divers' bends is a new form of caisson disease, which attacks tho victim on his return to the open air with nervous prostration. Tho cavities connected with the nasal passages are obstructed In some cases completely while the men are at work, and in some cases extreme doaf- nesshas been induced. The sufferers often reel and stagger like drunkards, and sometimes are affected with partial paralysis. Electricity has been used with sucoess for the treatment of this disease. Civilized indulgences and vanities have also contributed their share of tho diseases that afflict the modern world. Tight shoes, hy compressing the nerves of the foot, have oroated "Star- ton's toe.*' Then the tennis elbow and base-ball shoulder tell their own story; while chronlo catarrh is in a largo number of oases said to he due to cigarette throat, tho result of smoking the much- condomned but still favorite cigarette. Inventive genius is still at work improving the arts and sciences, and so the demon of disease, ever on the alert, will doubtless swoop down with his attendant ills to the end of time, keeping progress with the maroh of civilization. —Kluka—"I consider Jinkles one of the greatest statesmen in the country."

A reward has been offered by the Government for the apprehension of tlie guilty parties, and it ih probable tho Vancouver authorities will also offer a further reward. The police though unsuccessful ho fur, are confident that thoy will yet ferret ont the guilty parties. Tho meeting of the Koyal Templars of Temperance Society in' their hull last night was well attended; Itcv. Mr. Hariri.... occupied the chair, mid the principal Bpenker of the evening was Mayor Brown, the subject of whose address was "The objects and working of the order. The speaker dealt with his subject in a clear and interesting manner. The meeting waB for the purpose of bringing before the public more prominently the aimB and work of the society. A Thorough Job. It is satisfactory to note that the old ramshackle wooden buildings on Court House square that serve for court house, government offices, etc., are all to be pulled down, and a fine brick building, with stone trimmings, erected in the centre of the square, which will be an ornament to the city, and will afford ample accommodation, not only for the much needed temple of justice, but for the various government offices as well. The Government is to be commended for having determined thus to make a thorough and creditable job of the new court house building for this city. Klwood vs. llele.

Hume, whose death was announced briefly In this paper yesterday, while a comparatively young man, was ono of the pioneers of the country, coming to the Province us a sapper of tbe Royal Engineers, in April of 1850, and has resided in this city ever since. In 1870 or thereaboutB, Mr. Hume was one of those who assisted in clearing out the telegraph trail from this city to Yale, so that the repairers of the line would find it passable. Both in and out of the service the conduct of the deceased was exemplary. The disease which carried him away, a severe form of chronic rheumatism, he had suffered from forover 15 years, and death was a release. The funeral will take place to-morrow at 2 p. m. from the late residence of the deceased, at Sapperton. • *■ « Dealers In Realty. Messrs. Mowat & Sloan, real estate dealers and financial agents, whose striking advertisement will be found in another column, have opened their business with considerable eclat in the way of sales. On Monday they sold the east half of lot 158, and lot 150, of the Rogers estate, to Mr. T. E. Ladner, for the sum of $17,000. Yesterday they Bold 30acres of land at Brownsville, the property of Mr. Peter Orford, at $250 per acre, the highest price yet obtained for land in that vicinity. Messrs. Mowat & Sloan are energetic, pushing and enterprising young men and they are bound to make a mark for themselves in busineBS circles. Their office, which has been handsomely fitted and furnished, ia in the old telegraph office, next door to E. 8. Scoullar & Co.'s hardware establishment. Brother Grant waa never more taken aback in his life, and he with difficulty overcame his feelings sufficient to acknowledge in suitable words his heartfelt appreciation of the honors bestowed upon him. The Junior Warden's toast "Happy to meet, sorry to part, and happy to meet again," brought this pleasant occasion to a close. ■ *—■»■■■ *■ THE PREMIER'S TRIBUTE. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. To the Memory of the late Member for Lillooet. At the usual hour on Tuesday afternoon the Provincial Legislature assembled with almost every member in his place. As soon as the Speaker had taken his chair, the Premier rose, and after moving that the adjournment, when taken, shouldextend4untilTuesday next, he addressed the House in the following language. Said he: The present is one of those melancholy occasions when our minds are naturally directed away from politics and political strife. Now, for the present twelve months, for the third time, Death has entered our ranks and carried away one of our members. It is unnecessary for me to dwell upon tbe circumstances. The member who has been taken from our midst lias occupied a seat in this House for the last eight sessions. He was known to every member, and although sometimes we had warm debates and warm words, although he may have at times beon carried away by his feelings in those debates, yet we will miss him sincerely. Both Bides of the House, Opposition ns well as Government, will admit that In him who has gone there dwelt a good, honest, outspoken, fearless British heart. He was always faitnful in the discharge of his duty to his constituents; In him Lillooet has lost au earnest and faithful representative. He waa always at hia post, and he did his best to further every interest of the district which he had the honor of representing. In him we miss one of our number who endeared himself to both sides of the House by his never-failing good humor; we shall all miss his thoroughly British face, and hia hearty British voice. It is proper therefore that we should adjourn this .House so that all its members may pay a last tribute of respect to his memory by attending his funeral. I am therefore called upon to perform the melancholy duty of moving that this House do now adjourn* The resolution was declared carried, and the House quietly adjourned. Annual Inspection. The annual inspection of No. 1 Battery B. C. B. G. A. and the New Westminster Rifles, has beeu fixed by the Deputy Adjutant General for Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The corps will parade at the drill shed at 1:30 o'clock sharp, and march to Queen's park where the inspection will take place. As usual there will be a full turn out of citizens, and the ladles in particular, to witness the event. Both corps are pretty thoroughly instructed in the exercises and movements, and, doubtless, an excellent showing will be made. After the in spection a squad of the artillery will engage in heavy gun target practice from the battery opposite the Crescent. The target will be placed on the Brownsville flat. It is tho duty of every man belonging to our local militia to turn out and aid in making this the moat satisfactory inspection the corps has yet passed. +..-♦—« Utile Association Meeting. The annual meeting of the New Westminster Rifle Association wns held last night, Mr. W. Wolfenden iu the chair. The minutes of the last general meeting and the secretary's report for 1880 were read and passed. The election of officers for 1800 was then proceeded with, and resulted as follows: President, His Honor Judge Bole; vice-presidents, Mayor Brown, Capt. Scoullar and Capt. Townley; secretary-treasurer, Mr. J. A. McMartin; council, Lieut. Cotton, Lieut. Port aud Messrs. W. Wolfenden, S. Fletcher, Wm. McColl, Goo. Tumbull, W. H. Keary and Mr. J. S. C. Fraser. The president-elect, Judge Bole,thank- ed the meeting for the honor it had conferred on him. He said it was his intention to present the association witli two cups for competition this Benson. The first cup Ib to be shot for at 200 and 400 yds., standing and off the shoulder, and must be won twice before it can become the property of the winner; The second cup will be included in one of the ordinary competitions. It waB decided that the annual prize meeting should be held on the 3rd Wednesday m August. On motion a committee was appointed to wait on Lieut. Col. Holmes, in regard to securing rifles for the association, and also, if possible, to secure a new range on the south side of the river. Practices will begin on Saturday, April 12th. After passing a vote of thanks to the retiring officers the meeting adjourned. -—■ ■ ♦ »■ ♦ A Masonic Event. Last night while the members of Union Lodge No. 0 A. F. & A. M. were deep in the mysterious work of the order, an alarm was sounded by the tyler aud on permission being given to open the door a message was passed to the East to the effect that worshipful Brother Peter Grant was urgently required iu the anteroom. Permission being granted, the brother retired, and then over the faces of the brethern, who bad been so serious and attentive tu the work on hand before the alarm was given, there swept a smile of great pleasure; not because Brother Grant had been called from hia labors, but because the lodge waB going to perforin one of those numerous little duties of love of which the outside and un-Masonic world rarely hear of, so modest are the members of the Ancient Free and Accepted craft in shielding their good works from publicity. It Ib generally known that Mr. Grant has been very ill for many months, so Ul in fact that complete recovery comes slowly, and IiIb condition, unfortunately, la still a matter of anxiety to his physicians, who insist that he must enjoy a period of complete rest for some mouths and a change of air. What Mr. Grant's services to the Graft in thiB city have been, only Masons know. They have been great, and are appreciated to their full value, and in view of his early de- Karture from Westminster in search of ealth and rest, the opportunity waB taken advantage of laat night to snow in a fitting manner the estimation in which he iB held bv the fraternity. Brother Grant was detained in tlie ante-room by a previously concerted arrangement until all waa in readiness for hia reception. Then the usual signals were exchanged between tbe outer aud inner departments, the doors were thrown open, and iu complete amazement the brother waB lead into the lodge room, whero li« wub received with the customary honors by the members standing. On being conducted to the East, Worshipful Master Charleson read a roHolution of condolence, adopted by the lodge, regretting Brother Grant's long and serious illness, which for a time would necessarily separate him from hiB brother masons in this city, and hoping moat earnestly that his visit to other climes would result in the complete restoration of health to their much beloved brother, The address was accompanied by a purse—a very heavy purse—and followed by more compliments and ex- When Baby wu sick, we gave her Cutoria.

EniToit Columbian.—Sir:—I do intend to be drawn into any controvesy with Doctor Fagan respecting the Hoapital Buildings, but I find it necw sary in self defence. Now aftor a careful examination of the premises by myself and other gentleman, and taking into consideration the good sanitary condition in which they have been kept together with the sandy poms soil on a heavy sldehill on which the premises stand, making the drainage first-class in every respect, and also taking into consideration the several large and healthy families that have beon born and raised on the premises, we could Bee no cause for alarm. This is entirely a per- sonal matter with Br. Fagan; his philanthropic does not go any further than his own personal Interests. His chief objection is the too close vicinity to hia property of a number of homes of poorer families when he would have preferred the handsome residence and grounds of a rich man, which would have served to enhance the value of his own property, If Dr. Fagan had been honest in his convictions, why did he not complain long ago, when my intention of converting this property into dwellings waa publicly advertised for several weeks, and not have waited till over two months had clasped, and several thousand dollars had been expended on the premises, before complaining? I might say that he called at my store about i week ago and stated he intended giving me a great deal of trouble over it. I may add that no expense is being spared iu making these into comfortable homes; the interior of the building has all beeu taken out, all old piaster and paper removed even the chimneys taken down and rebuilt, the building has been well fumigated for weeks, about 40 barrels of lime for making plaster has all been mixed under the building (being the handiest place) the steam from which has been fuming through the flooring and premises for weeks. Immediately after I got possession of the property 25tt>a. of rock sulphur waa burned on the premises as a precautionary measure, all over and under the premises; the flooring has been covered for weeks with over six inches of lime and mortar, and, as I said before, all the interior was taken out so that nothing remained of the old building but the roof and sides, aud many portions of this have been made new. In fact, I have spent so much money on these premises that I could almost have replaced them with entirely new ones. The. doctor is evidently piqued because the three medical gentlemen did not decide as he prompted them to. He evidently thinks that hia single opinion ia worth more than theirs combined, each of whose opinions I don't doubt for a moment Ib worth as much, if not more, than Dr. Fagan's on any subject; and I might say that I have bought and paid for this property and intend to protect it. I may tell Dr. Fagan, and I hope it won't cause him any sleepless nights, that in a short time my present store will be taken up and placed on this property and turned Into teutement houses, for "the homes of 'poor families'" so that If he wants to do nny kicking on this subject he had better begin now. I understand that Dr. Fagan wants to send to New York or Montreal for somo sanitary expert, and is willing to give the munificent sum of if 25 towards this object. Doctors must bo cheap iu the east, a good deal cheaper than when he wont to Port Hammond last summer. The doctor probably has some poor relations in the east he wants to get out here, aa experts at the public expense. If so, I will contribute $200 towards this object myself.. I may Bay in conclusion, Mr. Editor, that mv time is too valuable to bo bothered with answering any more letters on this subject. Dr. Fagan haa written twice now, and you had better charge advertising rates on any more letters. Thanking you for your valuable space. I am yours truly A. M. Hkrrino. ' OTTAWA NOTES.
