GOLDEN WEDDING. Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Ferris celebrated their golden wedding, the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, From 2 to 6 p. m. they held a reception whioh wu attended by a large number of friends and acquaintances, who were delighted to be able to avail themselves of congratulating this highly respected couple. Each visitor wu presented witha handsome souvenir card. Mr. Ferris was born* in the oity of Bristol, England, on the Slat day of May, 1816, and spent 22 years of his life as a member in the polico service. He served eight years of tho Bristol police force and eleven years in the Wilts constabulary, whero he received promotion. He resigned, and emigrated to Toronto, Canada, where he received an appointment as superin* tendantofa division of police. In April, 1802, he resigned bis position thero, (having taken the B. C. gold fever), and came to New Westminster, by wnich time he hsd pretty well got over the contagion, and settled down to work. About seventeen yeara ago ho was appointed a justice of the peace for Britiih Columbia and in 1886 received tbe appointment of coroner for the city snd district of New Westminster. He was married on the 29th of January, 1839, at St. Pauls' Church, Portland square, Bristol. The result of the wedding wu nine children, five of whom died in infancy. The eldest son now living is forty years of age, Mr. Ferris has filled many important offices and has always been held in respect and esteem. He served several years in tho city council, representing St. Andrew's ward, "79 was elected mayor, which illed to the satisfaction of all. Mrs. Ferrii was born on tho 6th of J a n nary, 1813, at Yate, in the county of Glouceitershire.and has been a good and faithful wife and a careful and affectionate mother,' thoroughly attentive to husband, children and home duties, for fifty years, and hu, as already stated, boen the mother of nine children and is now grandmother of a little less than a score. At the request of the congregation of St. Paul's R. E. ohurch, of which Mr. and Mrs; W. D. Ferris have been prominent and useful members, they held another reception in the church in the evening. The church was crowded when, about 8 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. W, D, Ferris onterod that edifice, while Miss Mathers played on tho organ a wedding march. The pastor gave out the 166th hymn, beginning-'Kindred in Christ for his desr uke, a hearty welcome here receive," after which ho offered an appropriate prayer. The Rev. Mr. Haddon then aaid he had an addreis to read, when tho couple arose, -and he road u fol* lows:— ifr. and Wii W.D.Pkrris: Dear Friends,-On this the fiftieth anniversary of your marriage—your golden wedding day, the congregation of this church offer yon their sincere and hearty congratulations. It falls to the lot of very few of thoso are joined in matrimony to live together in that honorable estate during the apace of half a century, and we feel, as no doubt you feel yourselves, that you have been especially favored by Providence, having both pissed the allotted span of human life. You were among the flrst of the Uttle band who organized this church and your assistance and zeal In support of its cause are well knowu and appreciated by the congregation, especially by those who can look back to the time when they were without a pastor, when Mr, Ferns led their devotions with such satisfaction to all; when through good and evil report yoa were stndmit to your charge and mainly instrumental In keeping together the little flock. We have now much pleasure in presenting you with thia gold-headed cane and this gold bracelet, which are suitably inscribed for this occasion, and wo wish you to accept them, not for their intrinsic value, hut u tokens of our love nnd respect, and we trust and pruy that Ood may still further lengthen your lives for many years. Signed on behalf of the congregation, Thomas Haddon, Pastor. W. A.,Duncan, Wm, Johnston, W, J. Mathkrs, Huoh Burr, Charlks Warwick, J, Batchklor. After reading the above, Mr. Had* don approached and said: "I have much pleasure In presenting thia ad* dress to you, Mr, Ferrii, accept it as a tike it of the wtoem with which you are held by this congregation, and this gold-headed cane which vou will find not only an i-rnninont out a useful article that may be of service to you in your declining yean. Mn. Ferris: receive this gold bracelet, and whenever you look upon it think of the affection and love of the St. Paul's ohuch oongrtgation, WestO-inster, towardi you, and I trust you will long live to wear it Mr. Ferris then with groat feeling gave quite a lengthened reply. He said: ••Idoiodetd appreciate these gifta to* day; this is the happioit day of my life and I and my wife heartily thank this congregation for its kindly remembrance of us," and then, referring to a portion of the addreu, uid: "Wo were enabled, since the commencement of thii organisation to continue the services of the church, though for a while our difficulties were greet. We had kept togothor; God had prospored us and will prosper ui, and when I die I wish my body to be brought to this church and then carried from hero to mother earth." After he concluded Mr. Haddon said: "I cannot tell how pleased I am to have the pleasure of commemorating this event. A year ago when I was informed thst Mr. and Mra. Ferris had lived together forty-nine years, I prayed that Ood would spare them at least another year so that we might aee this day, and although Mrs. Ferris during the year has been two or three times near death's door, yet the Lord haa kindly preserved her and both aro here to-night. 1 have sometimes reud of persons celebrating thoir golden wedding, this, however, is the first I have had tho privilege of attonding and no doubt this iB the first the majority here have attended. I may say not ono couple out of every ten thousand are permitted to celebrate their golden wedding. A great many people live to be sevonty and eighty years of age, but very seldom man nnd wife are permitted to live fifty years together. I may also say I never knew n subscription made so euy as the Jtuie (or the presentation to-night, whioh shows the popularity of the ob- J'ect. Everyone hero knows that Mr. i'erriu is one of the best and iiiuBt cheerful workers of the church. He will .dp anything that is to be done with a willing heart" After making a few humorous remarks ho concluded thus: "My prayer ia that you, Mr. Ferris, may lung be spared to ss-ist id the services of the church, and thut you may for years to come have the companionship of your dear wife, and that when you both shall die you may be raised to heaven, where 1 trust all of us shall meet when our labors on earth are ended," After this nearly all of the congregation came forward and congratulated Mr. .and Mrs. Ferris on tho auspicious event. Mis. Chappell sang, whilo Mils Hsddon presided nt the organ: "Don't forget tlie Old Folks; Life will soon be o'er; Guide them till thelrwoary foet ; Tread the golden shore," Ae. The 160th hymn wu then sung: "Blest bo the lie that binds Our hearts fn Jesus* love;' The fellowship of Christian mind*. , „ Is like to that above," " The putor then pronounced the benediction aud thus olosed one of the most interesting events that ever took ploce in thu province.

LAROUCHEBE'h CABLE, London, Jan. 30.—The prince of Wales is going to Berlin in the course of the spring lo pay a formal visit to the emperor in his military capacity as colonel in chief of the Blucher Hussars, i Etiquette requires this visit should be paid boforo the emperor comes to England. William will come on a visit to the queen u booh as the year of mourning fur his father is over. It is probable that the emperor will be her majesty's guest at Windsor early in July for a few days and while in London he will reside at Buckingham Palace. But his stay in this country will not exceed ten days altogether. the royal pbincess. There has been correspondence between the Prince of Wales and the Marquis of Salisbury about money matters since the visit of his royal highness to the queen at Windsor last month. I understand that Lord Salisbury has expressed himself as being ready to propose a grant cf £15,000 a year for Prince Albert Victor when- over he desires to marry. The allowance for Prince George and for the young Princesses uf Wales will be proposed at the proper time, which presumably means whon they marry or when their father dies or when the queen dies, whichever event is the fint to happen. ,. ftS^N's ,DRAWI!W BOOM.

As our readers know, we did not object to such a district boing created, but simply to the World's suggestion— which could only result in inconvenience and hardship if carried out—that the municipality of Dolta should be included in the proposed district,when everyone knows that this city is many miles nearer to that section than is Vancouver. The proposed chauye would, in fact, compel those seeking a registry office from Delta to travel right past this city and on to Vancouver, thus losing a day at least, and, more probably, two days. Even the inu nioipality of Kiehmond, which the World appropriates as a matter of course, is, as to its greater part, more conveniently situated with a view to this eity remaining its registry centre, than for that centre to be changed to Vancouver. If we ake the near future into account, too, when Westminster will be evon more closely connected with tho North Arm, by a road on the mainland, and a bridge at the head of Lulu Island connecting this city directly with a road right through the heart of the Richmond municipality, Vancouver loses still further its claim to be a convenient centre for 'even the Richmond municipality. However, we don't want to be hoggish and might concede Richmond for registration district purposes, on account of Vancouver's utter destitution of nu agricultural environment otherwise. But the World is not content by any means with the prospect of a registration centre at Vancouver. Jt wants to scoop tho proposed county court judge for tliis district. On this subject the World says: "It is known that at least three additional county court judges ore shortly to be appointed. There are to be one each for the districts of New Westminster, Yale and Nanaimo. There is no wish on the part of tho World to disturb or interfere with the law courts as they are now established in New Westminster, but as a new order of things is to be created we | seo no good reason why the office of the county court judge for this distriot should not be located in Vancouver. It is admitted that the major portion of tho business to be brought before that functionary will be from this city, which is so rapidly coming to the front as the leading commercial city of the province," It must be remembered that the county court judge will be appointed for Westminster distriot, not merely for the cities of Westminster or Vancouver. If the latter were the cose, we might not think it worth while to dispute the Worlds statement that Vancouver may excel this eity somewhat in the quantity of litigation; but the district must be taken into account. It must be remembered, in tho first plaoe, that the district is extensive both in area, population and interests, that the two latter are increasing rapidly, and that the district as a whole has a pretty good record already of county court business to tho square mile; in the seoond place, that Westminster is tho truo centre of the largo and important district in question, whether viewed from a registration, litigation, or any other standpoint; and that, therefore, it would be neither fair nor just to subordinate, or, rather, sacrifice, the interests of the whole distriot and of this city as well to those of Vancouver, whatever inflated an estimate may bo formed of that city's prospective commercial importance by thoso interested in magnifying the same. Vancouver has got accustomed to receiving favors from the "powers that be"—as the Newt put it rather aptly, a few months ago, "tha big battalions" are on ita side —and wo may be sure that both the bouse of commons and the provincial legislature will be closely besieged for more "tips* during the sessions immediately at hand. This is all right, of course; but, while Westminster haa no reason to be jealous of the "salt water terminus," it behooves her citizons also to look out for No. 1, and see that tbe interests of the royal city are neither sacrificed nor alii" The United States is having its gorni trod on by foreign powers, big and little, these times. Id its rather peevi.h and undecided pro- teat*- against these liberties ito prestige lit not reoeivi-g any added lustre.., Little Hayti, te be sure, was finally bluffed with a great flourish 'iii trumpets, but in this vexed Samoan aflair, the great ro* publio, although having suffered a real, or imaginary affront to ita flag from tlie swaggering and aggressive Germans, cannot quite make up its mind to bring the offender up sharp and demand an unqualified apology and redress. The consequent** is a vacillating and uncertain course, not at all flattering to the national pride of patriotic and "jingoe" A-wrioani, l and not muoh in keeping with American bluster on other and safer occasions The Samoan Islands, called also the Navigators' Islands, are four in number, are situated in the South Pacific, and for about ten years have been under the joint protectorate of England and the United Sates and Germany. Those islands are considered a vantage point in the south seas, henoe the determination by eacb of the three powers named that neither should have exolusive control. For three or four years the people of the Samoan Islands have been plunged in trouble, and the foreign consuls have beon quarrelling as a result of the covetousness and aggressiveness of the Germans. Germany's commercial interests in the islands are said to be greatest, those of the United States seecond and those of Great Britain third. Germany has been trying to secure a monopoly of the wholo trade by dominating the govornment of the islands, which is that of an independent kingdom. Tho following from an eastern exchange is a fair review, embraoing tho principal details of the present Samoan trouble and the causes leading up to it: "Four years ago tho Germans persuaded King Malietoa. to sign a treaty by which the government of his kingdom would be virtually in the hands of the Germans, as it provided for a cabinet with two German traders, two natives, and tho German consul as the fifth member. The English and Americans objected to this treaty, and King Malietoa withdrew from it, and becoming afraid of German aggressiveness, applied to England to annex the kingdom, and take his people under her protection. The British government refused to do so, but over since the anger of the Germans against him, and their jealousy of the English and Americans know no bounds. They fostered the pretensions to the throne of a native named Tamasese, who is supported only by a small portion of the Samoans, supplied him with [ arms and ammunition, and aided him in many ways. He made no progress against Malietoa, however, and the Germans, under pretext of protecting German interests, hoisted the German flag over a piece of land at Apia, and then ordered Malietoa to haul down the Samoan flag whioh was over the government buildings. The king refused to do so, and a German man-of-war in port landed an armed force, which toro down the Hag. King Malietoa had a treaty with tho United States, by virtue of which the American gov* ernment was bound to defend tho Samoan kingdom against the aggression of foreigners, and he applied to the American consul for protection. The American consul, in conformity with the treaty, accompanied by an armed force from the American man-of-war, re-hoisted the Samoan flag over the government buildings, placing the American flag oyer all. The German residents were. more, enraged than ever, but the German war vessels sailed out of port the same day. Just sb they steamed out of sight a second American man-of-war steamed into tlie harbor with colors flying, nnd the people of Samoa thought, of course, that German aggressiveness had suddenly terminated before a show of power on the part of the United States. The American consul notified his government of his action, and the government, under stress of German representations, rebuked him for his action, replaced him with another consul, and the German war vessels returned. The Germans thereafter openly acted against King Malietoa, whom they first seized and imprisoned in spite of the protests of the other consuls, and then carried off into exile in one of their warships. They then placed Tamasese on the throne. The natives of the Samoan islands chose as their king a relative of the late King Malietoa, named Mataafa, and they have defeated Tamasese over and over again, and the latter has been compelled to take shelter under the guns of the German fleot. Recently the Germans landed a party for the purpose of attacking King Mataafa's forces, but tlie latter defeated them badly. Stories of extraordinary outrages on Americans and on their flag have just reached the United States, which, if they are well-founded, will give that country a pretty direct challenge to war. All along there have been sharp diplomatic passages at arms between the American and German governments on the nlluir, but it is not likely that the quarrel will ever becomo more than a diplomatic one." This conclusion, as our readers know, is amply justified, The American foreign policy In this matter would appear to be "peace at any price." And no doubt, Uncle Sam is right, if he is not very sensitive on microscopical points of "honor." IsTOTIOB.

AMONG THE GLACIEBS. Grand aad Remarkable Traoes of Nature',, Powerful Enginery. At tho American Institute of Instruction at Newport. R. I, a lecture was given by Hon. James W. Patterson, Btato Superintendent of Publio Instruction of New Hampshire, upon "A Trip Among the Glade.-." Mr. Patterson said: If wo go forth into our fields and pastures, he began, wo see rooks and bowlders scattered promiscuously aud In countless num* bers, which have been transported from tholr original beds by some giant force which dominated tho world in a primitive age, but unknown since tho historic period. If ln our northern latitudes wo lay bare the flanks of tho mountains we find tbe underlying lodges all ground and polished by some powerful enginery of nature, whioh haa passed down their naked sides, plow* ing at intorvals parallel furrows in their tough and unyielding surface. Everywhere over our northern hemisphere the Titanic workers of tbo olden time have dumped their weighty burdens of drift above tbo stratified deposits of a yet earlier period, and tho heterogenous masses of mingled dirt, gravel and bowlders found among our mountains and stretching east and west along our temperate zone all point to a time when glaciers, like those of Greenland, moved over our continent and sent their mighty bergs into the sea. But whence came this power and whither has it gone? is the question which naturally ocmes to every Up. There are abundant reasons to believe that this glacial force Is periodic, liko ao many other of the operations of nature. . Hevoral thSSHes have been propounded at different times to account for the periodicity of glacial action. That of Croll, which accounts for the varying mean temperature c" tbe earth by tho revolutions of tho seasons around tho earth's orbit and tho changing eccentricity of the orbit itself, seems to bo tho most rational. Winter at aphelion must bo lonc-or and colder than winter at perihelion, and the variation must increase with tho increase of the eccentricity of the orbit, and with the Increase of the inclination of the axis of the earth to the plane of its orbit. b.r modern glaciers are produced like the nut■ ,i nt, by a low temperature acting upon the i .loisturo of tho atmosphere. T. a day after roach fug the valley threo of us Americans determined to make tho as* con' of Mont Blanc. Haylrig secured five Sw.i a guides wo wero acooutorod, according to directions, with heavy shoes having hhu"? Bplkes in tho soles and heels, and wit. buskins around our lower limbs. Kiul. man was armed with a long alpcn- Bto. 1: having a strong stool spike in one end. Tht. guides took with them an alpea axe and a coil of strong rope, with leathern belts attached at Intervals of abouteight feet apart. Thus prepared we started on our trip up the glacier. For a time "Ihe ascent was easy and wo had little, trouble. But after advancing < somo distance we began to encounter long crooks or .fissures in tbe Ice, which wo woro obliged to leap. As wo advanced the onenlngsor crevasses becomo wider and mora hazardous to pass. At length we came to ono fivo feot wido and descending to an unknown depth. Our loader stopped and buckled ono ot tbo heavy belts about his waist and passed the next to me. I fastened this about myself and handed the third to tho second guide, and ha to the next till we wore all harnessed or roped together. Thus prepared tho foremost guide placed himself upon tho edgo of the crevasse, and giving u spring went over. Wo followed him tn order till all were oyer. Ono of our number, a short, heavy ■> man, foiled of a secure landing on the upper side, but the rope was strong and we hauled him up hand over hand. We continued to , repeat this operation till atlongth wo struck a crevasse somo twenty feet wide Here wo found a ladder with heavy spikes ln the lower ond, which one of tho guides drove i Info the tee below the surface and thon dropping it onto tho other side let himself I down tho ladder and ascended to the Ice i above. We all followed suit and woro safely landed on the other aide,. Bo we continued ■> to advance till wo reached the Grand Muleta about four o'clock in tho afternoon. Here, I moro than ten thousand foot above the seo, . wo spent the night) intending to oompleto tho ascent the following morning. But a 1 thunder-storm which followed us up the mount-tin covered the glacier with a veneer* ing of glare toe which rendered farther ad* 1 vence extremely dangerous, so that the k guides refused to lead us np to tho summit. 1 "Reluctantly we turned buck end crept cautiously down the mountain of Assured Ice. Atone point we reached a crevasse of five feet with a narrow tongue of ice beyond and a second opening beyond that. This was a perilous spot, nnd we watched our loador . with Intense anxiety. Moving up to the cdpo cautiously ho out a place for his foot with his alpen axe and then.putting himself in a position, gavo a ipring, and falling flat . upon tho ice arrested bis progress and awaited our coming one by one in the same mannor. On reaching our hotel we found tbe norvous strain had been a severe one, but were roady the next morning for the McrdeUlaoe. We went on foot and with* out guldos to the Montouvert, and thenoe dem ended to the glacier, which wo crossed ond ..wr-ossMand studied with great core. _£Z&£4_&*%22-** tor.iy for soma of tbelr phenomena. On . tbo south side of tho Alps We find the 'snow line about eight thousand feet above tho sea. All moisture above the lino, it la evident, must be condensed and reach the mountain surface as crystallzed or gronu* loii'd snow or as ball. When the steep slil''_ of tbeso lofty heights becomo over loaded with snow, it pushes down of its own wci-jht, and sometimes descends three tho iaod fsst below tbe frost ll-W Into the . deopy«ati.te|ow, We depth (* thojOWr an.ltoe,«lftemMioi»dthy'th. ftpHi-ef tbova»f»y.end maybe from ono hundred to ilfteon hundred foet The glacier tor- mi 'atos where the melting power of tbe beit below la balanced by tho supply of snow and ice from tho realm of cold above, anil, of course, this glacial rlvor will alter t nn'' >ly advance and recede with tho periodic ohiigos of the mean temperature What ha* already been said, assumes that the gluctor fi lu motion.

Undoubtedly * for* Cf u* Und ma* et-i* Ml if that wero alt, MntttladtaMO n a ootid blocks which is not ttaflwU ,__,-.., Again, it has been contended that rains aud moiling snows percolating through the subfjU'iire uf the glacier, and then froozin-*, pushed it forward hy the foroe of thoir expansion. But tho glacier moves in winter when ice does not *ae_t and in summer when it does not freeze, j' i Another his affirmed that ice, .though brittle and seemingly unyielding, is plastic ami gelatinous, and moves under pressure liko asphaltum. Tyndall and Huxley rest a later theory upon an extended series of experiments aud observations. Ice crushed into a granulated otato if submitted to great pressure will readily take any desired form and return to a solid and transparent condition. Bo the glucior,. pressed Vy-fts own incalculable -weight against oh unyielding surface, Is ground up and made toi assume tho structure of its channel, and to movo forward Liko a vicious substance, and tho very force which grinds it up restores it again to its transparent state. Wo found tho consistency of tho Mer do Glace changed continually from tho Berac3 to the Chapeau. The snow at the sourca gradually took on a granulated farm, which tl-oFi-ouoh call neve, and as it advanced downward to where it alternately melted and froze it was transformed into bluo transparent ice. Whouuvor the glader leaps suddenly downward in its track, it is broken up by its own weight. The -lateral crevices uro caused by the strain put upon tho ice by the unequal movement of the sides and tbo center of tho glacier, and as the crocks open at right angles to the line of greatest tension thoy generally curve upward, the convexity boing up the stream. During tbo boat of tho summer it is a common thing to seo one or more brooks coursing along, tho sur- focoofthogiadoranddropp)(pglntofii8UreB, wl|lch thoy molt into the form of deep wells. Thla water passes down to tbe bottom of tbo glacier, and, mingling with the rock which has beon ground up by the friction between the loo and its bed, issues at the lowor end ma turbid stream, which being drunk by tbe people produces the strong tendency to the goiter sb common In some of the cantons. Moraines are produced by the foiling of dirt and stones from the cliffs upon tho sides of the glacier. , These are called lateral moraines, but where two glaciers unite to form a third, as in the cose of tbe Mor de Glace, two lateral moraines oombine and form a largo medial moraine This material is all bomo on together aa the glacier advances, and is dropped off at the lower end forming tho terminal moraine. Theso moraines scattered over new England are the evidences of former glacial action in this part of tlio country, ' Sometimes a. large, flat bowlder foiling upon tbo ice prevents it melting beneath, and we have the phenomenon of an lee pillar. LIFE IN WASHINOTON. Experience of a Han Who Game to Secure a Government Position. Ho sot on a Lafayette square' bench, says tho Washington Critic, a wooden tooth-pick held meditatively between his teeth; tho picture of a dub-man who had dined wdl. . Shuffling down one of tho graveled paths was a man—a tramp. He passed tbe clubman, eyeing him closely, and, halting In tho gloom of a near-by tree, looked back to whore tbe club-man sat, and then retraced his steps. " Yeur pardon, sir,-' the tramp sold, in a husky voice, "will you give me a little advice," "Well, what is it!" the club-man asked, a shade of annoyance showing in his good- natured features, for, like most heavy Miners, ho disliked any thing that savored of business after dinner. Bosidos, ho thought the man but a beggar, and disliked his not approaching the matter dlraelly. " I'll tako but a minute of your time, Btr, if you'll listen to mo. I come to Washington two months ago to get a government position. As you see, I failed. For thu last eight days up to last night I have been drunk. I have been a drinker all my life, but I nover drank so muoh nor so steadily before, I woke up tbls morning with tho sun shining hi my faco through the trees of o pork. My clothes wore pawned and replaced with these rags, jq*, wfttch, money, every thiqg gone for drink. "Did you ever havo mania-o-potu! No; I con see that you bovon't Well, I have. Two hours ago I felt it coming oh me. You can see,'' holding up a tremulous band, ''how unstrung my nerves are.'' I can almost soo the devils now as they tighten their Angers on my throat. And the thirst—thirst that nothing but alcohol will quonch. You can not imagine what it Ib to feclyoursolf petrified, powcrleB8,doad to every tiling but pain, whilo lizards, ants* toads, worms, suukos, every thing slimy, are twisting, wriggling, Bquirming over you, gumming your oyos together, filling your ears with horrible sounds, while every joint in your body is racked and twisted until! it seems ready to come apart. Tour brain on firo, your throat parched and swollen, and tho not, fetid breath ot devils in your faco na tbey taunt you with groat flagons, of liquor, held just out of your reach. God, sift Tbls and a thousand times thb I have felt, and feel coming oyer mo again. "I asked you for advice.' Well, l'vo got a quarter In my pocket I can get a bed for a quarter, or I can got a pint. of whisky that will keep me out of the rtach of those devils to-night, until I osn' got to |fe-,p, Butvrticre would I sleep) If Igetebei*I..c»n*t alee*: unless I have something to drink. You set why I asked your advice." When the tramp began bis story tho clubman wore a look of wearied indlfferenco Bnt tho tramp talked quickly and excitedly, with jerky, expressive gestures, his hollow eyes fixed on tho club-man's every look and every motion, lending strength to what he said, until tho dub-man seemed .fascinated. As tho tramp finished ho got upfront tbo bench and shook himself like a man ridding bis mind of an unpleasant day dream. "Ugh, man, yoa ought to bean actor. Here's fifty cents. No, hen's a dollar, and, for God's sake don't talk to mo any more about your ddtrlum tremens. Ughl" And tho tramp shuffled off through the, deepening gloom, and, as he passed into the. flare of tbe eleotrio lights in front ot the Treasury, the dollar and Ihe quarter jingled merrily in hts pooket* He was an ex-actor. oad replaced v About tho middle of April last we observed a young lamb entangled among briars. It had seemingly struggled'for liberty until it was quite exhausted, Its mother was present, endeavoring with .her head and foet to disentangle it. After; having attempted in vain for a long timo to effect this purpose, she left It and ran away, baaing with all her might WO fancied there was something peculiarly doleful lu her voice. Thus she proceeded bonis three fields, and through four strong bodges, until sho como to a flock of sheep. From not having been able to follow her wo could not watoh her motions when with them. However.she loft thom in about fivo minutes, accompanied by o rom that had two powerful ftorni. They returned speedily towimi.-i the poor lamb, and as bom as they nuchbd tt tho ram Immediately set about liberating It, which he did in a few minutes bf ^drugging away th^briarswtth^borns.

Quong declared tho man wits sensible enough and requested Mr. Moresby to leave him to hia (Quong's) hospitality. Mr. Moresby left the eelestial but had not got 50 yards fram the door when he was astonished to hear a dreadful commotion in the establishment, and presently out rushed every inmate of the house yelling frantically with the visitor biing- ing up the roar howling just a trifle louder than the rest. Mr. Moresby went after the insano man nnd cap* tured him and ho is again lodged in tho gaol. »,♦■■» A Warm DIspule. At the polico cuurt this morning three Indians appeared, charged with being drunk and fighting. It would be hard to find men who carried worse looking black eyes than they did, to any nothing of outs, bruises and bumps. It appears thnt Lytton Charlie, n Siwash gentleman whose nose was cut off by a friend last summer, accideutly got drunk while destroying a bottle of whiskey and became quarrelsome. Two of his friends. Spuzznm Joe nnd Bus- ton Bar Jimmy, were calling at tho time and e'nturci into a discussion concerning n lady prominent in Siwash circles. Charley did not liko the conversation and attempted to block it by striking Spuzzum Joe over tho head with nn iron bar. A fight ensued during which all three got torribly battered up. Constable Carty dropped iu nt tho "reception" nnd took the trio to the lockup. At tho request of Mr. Moresby, Police Magistrate Atkinson remanded the case to allow of additional evidence being secured. |»*-4 _. B. v. Agricultural Association.

The following sketches of the gentlemen who will ndorn the council board during the present year wero intended to appear with tho report of the first meeting of the new council, but owing to tho great pressure ou our space yesterday, it was necessary to bold them over till to-day. JOHN HENDRY KM..., Mayor of New Westminster, comes of good old Scottish stock and waa born at Belle Dune, Gloucester County, New Brunswick, in 1844. Aftor leaving school Mr. Hendry followed lumbering until he became a thorough master of the business in nit its branches. In 1872 Mr. Hendry left homo nnd aftor visiting the most attractive centres iu the western states finally oime to the Pacifio Coast and spent 18 months in tho employ of two of tho largest saw mills on Puget Sound. From tho Sound ho went to Moodyvillo and assisted to build the Moodyville saw mills, with which establishment he was connected for two years. Having an idea that Manitoba would somo day be a great country Mr. Hendry decided to go there and enter into tho manufacture of lumber, but on reaching thut provinco ho found lumbor very scarce nnd the outlook not particularly bright, so he mado his way back to tho Pacific Coast. San Francisco did not hold out very bright inducements and Mr. Hendry returned to British Columbia, settling in Nanaimo, where he, in company with Mr. D. McNnir, started a small saw mill. The Diamond City was then booming and consequently tho now firm prospered. The continually brightening prospects of New Westminster attracted Mr. Hendry's attention and he finally determined to remove his mill lo this city, which was done in the full of 1877. Since that date Mr. Hendry's success is too well known to require recapitulation. Suffice it to say that from n small mill in 1887 the business has been stoadily extended aud enlarged until to-day it leads the lumber industry of British Columbia. This success is almost entirely due to Mr. Hendry's excellent business abilities and to the reputation for honesty and integrity hu has so rightfully won. Siuce its incorporation Mr. Hendry has been manager and president of the Royal Oity Planing Mills Co. Mr. Hendry has held many oflices of trust and importance. He was a member of the city counoil in 1870 and 1880 ; was the first president of the Westminster Woolen Mills Co. ; a director in tho Gas Company, and president of the Board of Trade, and has been a member of the Board of Trade council since its establishment. Mr. Hendry has now been awarded the highest civic office in tho gift of the people—mayor of New Westminster—another proof of the estimation in which he is so generally held. The Royal Cityfo.ves much of ita prosperity to Mr. Hendry. Tohim is largely duo the credit of re-opening the Fraser river to deep sen vessels, which was only attained after a succession of disappointments under which most mon would have lost heart nnd given up in despair. But not so with Mr. Hendry, ho had determined to make the Royal City an ocean port and never relaxed his efforts till the arrival of the ship Cnmana crowned his enterprise. He hns always supported the Southern Railway, of which he was a director until a fow days ago, nnd was one of the most prominent in bringing the negotiations to a successful issue. With Mr. Hendry as mayor the interests of the Royal City will not suffer, but, un the contrary, hia election will give an impetus to every entcrpriae of worth. ALERMAN DAVID 8. CURTIH is a native of County Kent, Ontario, where he received his education at tbe public schools. Atthe age of 18 he left homo to carve his fortune in British Columbia and his business career ao far hu boen an unvarying success. From early manhood he has always taken a deep interest in all matters of publio importance and has been conspicuous in every movement tending to the welfare of the city. He was first oleoted to the council in 1881 and so well did he please tho publio that ho was returned by acclamation at the two following elections. He was a member of the counoil of 1887 and chairman of the finance committee. He is a member of the council of the board of trado and was secretary of the hoard for two years. Mr. Curtis is a drug* gist and does a largo and profitable business. He will prove to be one of tho most useful members of the new council, and his election is a matter of congratulation for tho whole city. A LI) Kit MAN ALEXANDER EWEN is a native of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and was burn in 1832. Attracted by the reported fisheries wealth of Brit* ish Columbia he left Scotland in 1863 for this province to enter into the fishing business.

Mr. Ewen hu amassed a handsome fortune and is universally acknowledged to be a shrewd and careful man of business. He has the respect and confidence of the en- tiro community, and In electing him to civic honors the citizens of New Westminster could net have mode a better choice. ALUKKHAN JOHN KBID is a native nf County Antrim, Ireland, whore ho flrst nv the light of day iu 1862. At the age of 21 ha emigrated to Canada and took up his residence in Ottawa where he lived till 1877 and then he came to British Columbia. In 1880 he in oompany with Mr. Currie, bought oat the Pacifie Carriage Works whioh buslneu he hu greatly enlarged since then. He wu elected to tha city counoil for 1887 and his actions during his term of office were marked by fearlessness snd st ra.ehtforwnrdneta in dealing with every question. Like all Irishmen he is an enthusiast in military matters nnd Is a great favorite with all ranks. Children Cryfor Pltcher'sCastorla ALDERMAN JAMES GERALD JAQUES was born on Grosse Isle, province of Quebec, in 1863, and received Ins education in Montreal.

He was elected to the city counoil for the year 1887, aud proved himself a good councillor and of excellent butiness abilities. Mr. Jaques is one of the largest property holders in the city, is secretary and treasurer of the Ilhoilliwaet Silver Mining Co., and holds a ninth share in the ssid company. ALDERMAN THOMAS CUNNINGHAM is a native of Ihe Green Isle, having been born in the province of Ulster, Ireland, in the year 1837.

He is now engaged in fruit growing and fancy stock raising and hss the honor of owning the finest herd of Jerseys in the province. He takes a great interest in all things pertaining to the city's progress and being of an enterprising and pushing nature his election to tho aldermanio board cannot but prove valuable to the city. ALDERMAN W. B, TOWNSEND is a native of Battersea England. When only a boy he entered the navy and uw service in the Baltic during tbe progress of the Crimean war. In 1858 he came to British Columbia and entered tho employ of the Hudson's Bay Co., and served in different capacities. For fourteen years he has been a resident of New Westminster and ib regarded as a cautious and progressive business man; and he holds the esteem of his fellow citizens. He is an old hand in civic affairs, having served three terms in the council, and his re-election on the eve of bo many necessary improvements to thn city cannot but prove beneficial to the city's interests. ALDBBMAN DONALD MCHIADKN is a native of Martintown, ttlengary. County, Ontario, where he first saw tho light of day in 1847. Leaving home at the time of the British Columbia gold fever in 1865 he camo to tho Pacific Coast and remained on Puget Sound for a year. In '66 he arrived in British Columbia and immediately proceeded to the Big Bend mines and mined there with goud success for four years. From Big Bend lie removed to Kamloops in 1860 snd opened a store. When the Omiueca excitement broke out he sold his goods and hastened to that country, but only remained there one season and then returned to Kamloops where he again went into trading and stook raising in partnership with the well-known Mr. James Mcintosh. In ordor to be better able to educate his family, there being no schools at Kamloops, Mr. McPhaden returned to Victoria and eventually to Westminster, where he hu now been established 6 years and is proprietor of one of the largest grocery houses in the city. He is a large property owner, is highly respected, and is well qualified to hold tne high position of alderman, though this ia the first civio honor which has been bestowed upon him. ALDERMAN EDWIN 8. SCOULLAR ia a native of St. John, New Brunswick, and wu born in that city in 1858. He wu educated at the St John Gumroar school and at the early age of 19 left hia home to make a fortune in the far west.

S. Scoullar & Co.. of whioh firm he is aenior partner. By careful management and strict attention Ihe businesa hu developed until it now ranka equal to the hut in the province. The firm uf E. S. Scoullar & Co. waa the first in its line to establish in Vancouver, and by tho great fire which swept that city out of existence they sustained a severe lou, which, however, did not doter tbe enterprising firm from immediately re-establishing the busi- neu. Capt. Scoullar was a member of the first rifle team sont from British Columbia to Ottawa to compete at the Dominion matches. He is a member of tho council of the board of trade, captain of tho New Westminster Rifles and vice-president uf the British Columbia Rifle Association.
