Will Open Night School Trustee Joy produced 17 applications from prospective students for the-proposed night school, and Trustee Arthur producer four he had received.

Trustee Jones, in the course of tho evening, elicited a large amount of interesting information by her constant questions, including the fact that, following the practice of previous years, the larger 'accounts of the last three months were being provided for in the current estimates, though vouchers had been put .through for minor ones in October, November and December. Another point brought out was that during the week's illness of one of. the public school teachers, who was last night granted a leave of absence till Easter on her physician's certificate, five substitutes were employed. She considered it detrimental to the interests of the department not to have one teacher throughout the balance of the term, NO. 242 Reciprocity Arrangement Serious Injury to British Columbia, Says Premier Free Entry of Fruit and Agricultural Products injury to Ranching industry- -Serious Blow to Timber Industry by Throwing Prairie Market Into Hands of United States -List of Mutual Duties. Opinions of Press and Parliamentarians. TO ENQUIRE INTO PRICE OF COAL Asks for Royal Commission—BUI to be Introduced Governing Sale of Noxious, Drugs (Soeclal to The Daily News.) VICTORIA, B.C., Jan, 27—The houe sat for only half an hour today. Several hills were advanced a stage with practically no debate. Mr, MoGuire has given notice of motion on Tuesday that an humble address be presented to his honor the lieutenant governor, by th's house, praying him to consider the advisability of appointing a royal commission to inquire into the following questions: 1. Whether or not a combine or un- derstanding exists among the coal producers or any of them of this province to establish and maintain prices charged for coal. - 2. Whether or not coal is being sold by producers, or any of them for consumption outside. British Columbia for a less price than that Bold for consumption in the province. ; 3. Whether or not the prices charged by the producers, or any Of them, for coal consumed In British Columbia ls excessive. 4. Whether or not the prices charged by the producers, or any of them, for coal in BritiBh Columbia bears a reasonable proportion to the cost of production. Sale of Cocaine Mr. McKenzie will introduce a hill respecting the sale of hab't forming drugs Including alpha or beta cocaine or morphine or any synthetic substitutes for either or any preparation containing them, either alone or In combination or the sales thereof without the written prescription of a physician and the prescription shall be retained by the druggist for at least two years. Accompanying clauses are designed to make the enforcement of the act very thorough. (Special to The Daily News.) VICTORIA, Jan, 27—Premier iMc- Bride Interviewed this morning said: "While I do not wish to take an alarmist view of the reciprocity arrangements, that have been laid before the house at Ottawa, It is abundantly evident from a perusal of the proposals that if adopted they will Inflict very serious injury to this province. As he knows the • conditions prevailing here, surely we may look to Mr. Templeman to protect our Interests and to bring about some modification of the very drastic changes It Is proposed to adopt Severe Injury, "Take for instance the free entry Into Canada of fruit, dairy products and agricultural products generally. This means an injury to our agricultural classes that will be most severe. In the first place it will put the markets of the prairie provinces In the hands largely of the Americans, who can, even under existing conditions compete there with our fruit growers and those of eastern Canada. In BritiBh Columbia the fruit Industry by great efforts is being built, up and it must be remembered that In the.states to the south, where the industry is long established, with very large areas of cleared land, ft costs very much less to market fruit than It does here, where we are endeavoring to settle our lands, and where the advantage of a tariff enabling us to have a good market in the prairies has in the past operated helpfully. To remove this advantage now will most seriously Injure our efforts to settle and build up the province. The same applies to other branches of agriculture, and to make our markets free to the United States will not greatly reduce the prices our farmers are now getting, hut In those commodities such as butter, eggs and poultry of which our output does not yet equal the demand, the result will be that instead of Importing from other parts of Canada, these will be shipped us from Washington, from Oregon and from California, and the trade with Ontario and the other eastern provinces will decrease. This will not only affect the Canadian farmer, but it will lessen the volume of traffic on our transportation lines and build up the business of the competing lines in the country to the south. Blow to Timber Industry. "The free entry of lumber from the United States will also he a most serious blow to our timber industry, throwing the market of the prairies into the hands of the Americans lessening the trade of Canadian transporting lines. No Benefit to Canada, Looking over the whole matte? as set out In the dispatches from Ottawa, I cannot see in what way the proposals can be of any benefit to Canada. The country has been . progressing well, times have been prosperous and the people contented, 'and" tne advantages to be attained by the present proposals are, to my mind, wholly tp tbe United, States. To Canada the effect will be to disorganize trade conditions, Injure' pur Industries and our Canadian lines of traffic and all for the benefit of the Americans." Reciprocity Tariff.

Revelstoke Organizations Want the Contest Piano Foresters of the Scenic City Will Support Mrs. Fred Cornier-Miss Thomas Will Announce for Popular Society Early in the Contest-Cranbrook Makes Another Strong Nomination Revelstoke promises to become one ot tiie most Important points In the rgreat voting contest. The offer of 15000 In prizes to candidates has been ac- ceped at Its true value by the enterprising c'tlzens of the northern city and they lave lost no time in getting busy with a view to capturing the grand prize and the two fSOO Mason ft Risen pianos, which it is possible for them *o win. Two nominations were received by wire from Revelstoke yesterday. One message announced that Mrs. Fred Cornier would be a competitor from the opening day, and, in tne event of her success in the contest the Independent Order of Forresters will be awarded tho organization piano. Mrs. Cornier has a great many warm friends In Revelstoke, while the Forresters are one ot the strongest fraternities tn the city. The combination will doubtless prove .1 strong one and the otlier cities In the oontest territory need not ibe surprised if the grand prize goes'to Revelstoke Mln Thomas Alto In the Rata Another telegram from Revelstoke 10- mlnates Miss Alma Thomas, a talented and popular young lady who is favored by a large number of people tor the first prize. Miss Thomas reserves her announcement in the matter ot the organization prize but tt is safe to say that when the name of the favored society Is revealed It will prove to be a strong one. Revelstoke Is Ambitious A prominent citizen of Revelstoke who was in the city on business yesterday, was shown the telegrams referred to but expressed no surprise. On the contrary he seemed to take it as a matter of course that his city; would win everything worth .having. "It would be impossible to find two more popular people in Revelstoke than Mrs. Cornier and Hiss Thomas," he said. "You may look for a red hot fight from the very first too. One of the two ladles win. win the grand prize if loyal support and hard work will do it. The other will win the 1600 piano which is the first district prize. It looks to me as if we had the best chance of all the cities and towns in the contest territory. Only a few ot our citizens take the News but nearly all of them will take it It asked. y?« have never canvassed Revelstoke, while the Points in the southern end have been patrons of The News tor a long time. This g(e8 us a big advantage to begin with. While the other candidates In the contest, especially In Nelson, will find a good many who have recently paid in advance for the paper every citizen in Revelstoke Is' a poten. tlal subscriber to ibegln with. The News arrives in Revelstoke ahead of any other paper, too, so there is no good reason for people failing to subscribe. I will pay two years In advance as soon as the contest opens—but It will be a hard matter to choose between the two ladies nominated." Wednesday Is the First Day ■February 1st Is the opening date of the great contest. Votes will ,be Issued on all new subscription payments to The Dally and Weekly News ond to Hampton's Mugnjzine, -beginning Wed- nesday morning. Those who have been considering the wisdom of entering the1 race should send in their names at once. Delays are dangerous. The first few days work may mean victory, where Postponement may mean defeat. MURPHY MAY RESIGN COMMISSIONERSHIP If He Finds he Has No Power to Compel Witnesses to Answer Questions (Special to The Dally News.)

They Say Suggested Minimum Is Excessive-To Meet Council RA13E INSURANCE RATES WINNIPEG, Jan. 27—Following the $1,000,000 loss In Winnipeg last year and the $400,000 loss this month the Western Canada Underwriters' association decided today to raise the rates 10 to 50 cents on $100. This will be partially affected by increased reduction where signal sei-vlces and automatic alarms are installed. WILL ESTABLISH OFFICE IN NELSON Giant Powder Company Recognize Importance of Kootenays—Evidence of Country's Development The Giant Powder company, as a result of the rapid development of the mines of the Kootenays, has found it necessary to establish an office in Nelson and are making arrangements to obtain a suitable place. C. S. Cradock, for some years British Columbia representative of that company with headquarters in Vancouver, win be In charge of the local office and will have as an assistant H. St. Leger, late of the San Francisco office of the company. Mr. St. Leger arrived from the Golden City by way of Vancouver last night and Is a guest at the Strathcona. Protesting against, the proposed increase of the minimum charge by the city for electric power a number of power users m tne city met last evening in the board of trade rooms for the purpose of discussing the matter. It was pointed out that while the present minimum charge per month for a five horse power motor was $3, the increase advocated by the city electrician would make the charge $2. per lorse power or $10 altogether. A committee of three was appointed to interview the council on Monday night and ask that no precipitate action in the matter be taken and that the city fathers give permission to R. A. Brown, city electrician, to attend a further meeting of the power consumers and explain certain matters in connection with the proposed changes. G. A. Brown of the Brackman-Ker company, took tbe chair and E. W. Wld- dowson acted as secretary. Others present were W. R. McLean, J. R. Hunter, J. A. McDonald, C. Romano, J. H. Matheson, R. W, Hlnton, John Burns, W. H. Jones, F. Forrester of the Canadian Swift company, George G. Peters, A. C. Carpenter of P. BuniB & Co., A. W. Nagle, W. N. Cunllffe and J. H. Wilkinson of the Kootenay wire works. Mr. Brown explained that the meeting had been called for the purpose of discussing the proposed change in rates and discovering how they would effect consumers in the city As be understood it the present minimum charges for small motors would be heavily increased by the suggested change. Outside Favored, He Says. R. W. Hlnton said that it was most unjust that the city should attempt to Increase tbe present rate for power when the corporation was selling power to the Granlte-Poorman mill and Lambert's mill outside tbe city for about one-third of the charges made to ratepayers In the city. They had all dug down and paid for the power plant, he said, and yet the city gave outside users a very much lower rate than the ratepayers who had paid for the plant. It was true that the Granite and Lambert mill people had put in their own transformers but he thought that many con- . sumers in Nelson would be glad to do tbat If they could obtain power at similar rates. J. A. McDonald thought that the plant was making sufficient money every year to Justify the retention of the present rates. , Wants Reasonable Increase. Mr. Hlnton commented on the report of the city electrician wht<;h stated that the rates received for power supplied was less than one-tenth the amount received from electric light courses, while the maintenance charge was nearly equal for the light and power service. He characterized this statement as absurd. He thought, however, that they should admit that some of the smaller power users should have their rates raised somewhat But the increase in charges should be reasonable and not as drastic as It would prove in one instance where a consumer using a five horse power motor would pay a minimum rate of $10 per month instead of $3 as now. A discussion ns to the rates paid hy the power users present ensued In which according to statements made It appeared that some were receiving a discount of 10 per cent on their charges, some 20 per cent and some no discount at all. W. R. McLean pointed out that the Nelson rates were at present lower than those in most cities in Canada but expressed his disapproval of such a draBtic raise In the minimum charge at that proposed. Mr. Brown remarked that of a test of consumers who had given details of the power of their motors and present rates, seven would find their charges increased by 200 per cent if the rate were raised as proposed. On motion of Messrs. McDonald and Hunter it was decided that a committee should interview the council and make a request as previously Indicated and the chairman appointed Messrs. Ounliffe, Forrester and Widdowson to act WINNIPEG. Jan. 27—Bank clearings ending Jan. 25, 1911, jtl5.68d.70i, ai Increase of $2,006,034 'over the corresponding week of 1910.

Cfie JBattp $mw SATURDAY JANUARY 28 Substitutes are Dangerous Beware of imitations unscrupulous dealers tell you are "Just as good as" Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. These cheap concoctions are foisted on the people with the intent to deceive by dealers mindful of their profits only and caring nothing for the health of their patrons. Some go so far as to try to make you believe it is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. When a remedy has been before the public for more than half a century, has been prescribed and used by the best doctors and in prominent hospitals, and has carried the blessings of health into as many thousands of homes as Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has, imitations are bound to arise. But they can imitate tbe bottle and label only—no one can imitate the contents. Duty's Pure Matt Whiskey Is Beneficial It is an absolutely pure distillation of malted grain. Its palatability and its freedom from injurious substances render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach. It hai been used with remarkable results in the prevention and cure of consumption, pneumonia, grip, coughs, colds, asthma, malaria, low fevers, stomach troubles and all wasting and diseased conditions. The genuine Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is sold in SEALED BOTTLES ONLY. The "Old Chemist's Head" is on the label and over the cork is an engraved seal. Be certain this seal is unbroken.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) MONTREAL, Jan. 2fi—Tbe dearth of school teachers, ever a live topic in the rural districts of tbe country, bids fair to become even more acute In the near future on account of the legislation foreshadowed by Sir Lomer Gouin at tbe opening of the Quebec legislature concerning advancement on educational projects in the province of Quebec. Sir Lomer says that special inducements are to be offered for the engagement or male teachers by tbe different school boards'! and that, in this way, he hopes to be able to see education In tbe country parishes equal tbat of the cities. At present as soon as a school teacher procures a diploma he or she invariably moves westward. Sir Lomer says now that he will have work for them to do near home, and that the expanding west muBt look elsewhere for its supply. The speech from the throne also contained another announcement of considerable interest to the whole of Canada. It was that the government had pledged Itself to the furtherance of the good roads movement, and that large sums of money would be asked to build up and maintain public highways. Turn Back Anarchists. Excitement and interest in the Houndstlch battle between anarchists and London police some time ago received new impetus here when it became known tbat orders had been Issued from Scotland Yard to all the police and detective departments in Canada to keep a sharp watch on all suspicious characters in their districts, and to be particjilarly careful to Bee to it that they were under direct surveillance for the few weeks prior to the coronation. As a result of this the Dominion police, under Col. Percy Sherwood, have been most active and a large force has been sent down to the boundary to board and inspect trains coming in from the ocean ports of the United The Children's Hair A Little Extra Care Now May Saw, After Years of Regret Children play so hard that tho heai pcrtiplros and the hair has a tendency to mat and get sticky on tho scalp Soap and water doesn't seem to remove itt but the hair must breathe to be healthy.

Rutherford, Nelson. One for etch tvtrytoy aOtunt States to Canada. This work was being done quietly and effectively, but this week Inspector Parkinson held up a party of four at Rouse's point, coming into Montreal from New York. There were two women and two men In the party. The inspector told them, in his usual quiet manner, that they would not be able to enter Canada. One of the women, becoming angry, drew a long hat pin and tried to stab the Inspector. The consequent small riot In the sleeping car aroused the curiosity of the passengers and the story leaked out Later, the Inspector announced that never before had the authorities turned back so many people, under one circumstance or another, as in the past two weeks. If there Is any faith to be put in fig ures, Canada's parole system of dealing with criminals has proved its value during tiie 11 years it has been in operation. Dominion Parole Officer Archibald, in tbe course of an inspection trip at St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary, said tbat, of the three thousand and seventy-two prisoners who have been released from the penitentiaries on parole during tbat period, two thousand have justified their right to freedom by living the Uvea of self-respecting and Industrious citizens, 999 are still reporting to the authorities, and only G2 have found their way back to the courts through the lures of their old habits and activities. Bulls on Top. There Is not very much use trying to play tbe role of stock market bear these days. The tendency Ib all tiie other way and the bulls have the call every time. Times are-too prosperous just now to think or talk declining values. The bulls even say that Canada Is getting to the stage where a set back across the border would not affect us to any marked extent. Three years ago, it will be remembered, there was next door to a financial panic in the United States and although Canada waa enjoying an unexampled era of prosperity the adverse Influences from abroad called a halt and there was a general readjustment of values In consequence of the interference to the wave of prosperity at home. As Canada grows bigger and stronger financially, the more she becomes Independent of what. financial turmoil Uncle Sam may see fit to permit within his bordera. The enormous inflow of capital from different parts of the globe, but particularly from the land of John Bull, shows no sign of cessation and with the development of our own great resources keeping on apace it looks as though the preachment of the bull-element ought not to be far wrong, even if it does appear a little over-enthuslas- tlc to the moderate man In the "Btreet." Several things have occurred within the past few monthB to give additional strength to Canadian credit abroad and nothing could have been finer in that respect than the recent demonstration Of the wonderful earning capacity of the Canadian Pacific railway aB shown hy the decision ot the directors within the past few days to place stock on a 10 per cent dividend basis. The completion of tbe new power Plant of the Sherhrooke Railway & Power company has drawn Montreal capitalists attention away from their street railway in the city to a promising public utility enterprise In the eastern townships. The Sherhrooke .company Is only about a year old. It having Proud ot Her Baking w ^sim 1 She usee **"" &f\W FiV£ ROSES FLOUR r*9 f. Do you? i **L r "Unbleached. Yet White as Snow" SJzI FIVE ROSES taken over the old Sherhrooke Street railway last year, but already It is commencing to show the fruits of labor and thought in the manner in which it is grappling with the power and transportation problems ot the townships. Clarence McCualg, on whose shoulders the principal burden ot reorganization of the company has fallen, and whose energy has been responsible for getting the plant into the excellent running order it is in today, is now figuring on even larger plans with a. view to giving quick transportation and power to the city of Sherhrooke and the surrounding district With this end in view he has purchased three water powers on the Magog river and has commenced development The result will be that the townships will eventually have their own hydro-electric power. Another concern has been a great winner in the stock market within tbe past tew days. This is Laurentide paper of which Sir William Van Home Ib president and R. B. Angus, C. R, Hosmer and James Ross are among the directors. The $1,600,000 of common stock which only a short time ago had a market value ot less than $2,400,000 has appreciated In value to the ex| of about $900,000 and as the ■to' concentrated for the moat part ii paratively few hands the profit < estimated at a glance.

J44 NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA MOB 6I6HI. SATURDAY JANUARY it PROMINENT MEN AND WELL KNOWN WOMEN Gladly Testify for "Fruit-a-tives" One reason why "Fruit-a-tives" ia winning a welcome in the hearts and homes of thousands from coast to coast, is because so many of the leading citizens of Canada have spoken so strongly in favor of this wonderful fruit medicine. In every province—in every city—in every hamlet—throughout the three million, seven hundred square miles of the Dominion, there are many who owe their health and some who owe their lives, to the marvellous virtues of "Fruit-a-tivea". Nelson Banister, Esq., (Capt. "A" Squadron, 12th Manitoba Dragoons) of Oak Lake, Manitoba, soys—"I was stricken with Sciatica and Neuralgia of the Heart—was in bed for six weeks—I tried "Frnit-a-tives" and it completely cured me. Today, my whole family use "Fruit-a-tives." Paul J. Tones, Esq., retired merchant of Sarnia, Ont., testified I suffered for K years with Constipation, Indigestion and Catarrh of the Stomach. I gave "Fruit-a-tives" a trial and find it the only remedy that does me good and I cannot praise it too highly", Mrs. Lizzie Baxter, 5 Home Place, Toronto.—"I was a terrible sufferer from Rheumatism for nearly a year. Two doctors treated me but I became a helpless cripple. I saw "Fruit-a-tivea" advertised and decide to take it. After taking five boxes, I was well". . „ ,. Henry Speers, Esq., the well known Justice of The Peace of Moorefield, Ont, "I suffered from severe indigestion for almost two yeara and became almost a skeleton. Two experienced doctors pronounced my case hopeless. My son asked me to try "Frait-a-tives" and from the outset of taking these wonderful tablets, I was better and "Frutt-a-tives" completely cured me." N. Touberx, Esq., a well known and highly esteemed citizen of Grande Ligne, P. Q., Bays "Iheartly recommend "Fruit-a*tives" to all who suffer with H. Marchsssaol* (High Constable of Province of Quebec), St. Hyacinthe, says "Fruit-a-tives" cured me of Chronic Pain in the Back." Eowm Oram, Sr., of Sydney Mines, N. S., writea "For many years, I suffered from Indigestion and Dyspepsia—lost 25 pounds—and thought the disease was Cancer. After taking three boxes of "Fruit-a-tives", I was much better and now I can say that ''Fruit-a-ttves" has entirely cured me." Be guided by these letters of Canada's well known men and women.

Grlmmell, 31 yeara old, a convict in Gl-nfcori prison at Dannemora has been pardoned, and will be restored to his parents in Buffalo, whose fortunes were wrecked by his astonishing and unexplalnaible series of criminal deeds. His case has for more than a year attracted the attention of alienists, neurologists una surgeons. They at last came to the conclusion that his persistent infractions of the law were largely, if not entirely due to an injury to his brain, following a small fracture of ihe skull when he was a boy of 14. • An operation performed In March, 1909 by Dr. De Witt G. Wilcox of Boston university, one time president of the Homeopathic Medical society of New York state, brought about an almost complete change in the convict, who had besought the surgeons to operate on him in the hope—and to him it was only the vaguest hope, but he preferred death to a continued career of crime such as he felt he would be doomed to—that he might become a normal man and of some comfort and use to his impoverished and enfeebled parents. The Surgeons' Belief Of the most perverse and criminal nature prior to the op era lion, he has since become to all appearances, a normal man of the highest impulses and the surgeon who operated on hint and the physicians at the prison who have observed his case closely express the belief that the injury to his skull was primarily responsible for his eccentric!, ties. They have in their own minds at least established Ithe belief that cranial injuries become potent factors in developing, if not producing criminal tendencies. Details of the amazing case were ibrought to the attention of Judge C. B. Wheeler of Buffalo, wiho, In 190S sentenced Grlmmell to prison on two forgery charges for ten years and nine months and he wrote to Lieutenant Governor Horace White, by way of aiding the appeal that had been made to get Grlmmell out of prison. Teachers who when Grlmmell was a ROYAL DUKE'S AFRICAN TOUR Captures Hearts of People—Took a Cheery Interest in Everything and Everybody "One thing is quite certain," a leading citizen of Durban said to me; "the duk« will have an immense success !n Canada. I only wish," he added, "that you had sent him as governor general here."' This is the way Hamilton Fyfe commences an article in the Daily Mail on the tour of the Duke of Connaught. That is the feeling today throughout the whole of South Africa. "The duke, (so they call him everywhere with touch of affection) has turned what might have been a mere formal series of receptions and ceremonies Into a triumphal progress. It was certain he 'would leave behind impressions of amiability. It was certain that he would discharge with dignity and tact the duties of his high commission. But to say that he had done these things and to say no more, would be to give t»n utterly misleading account of h-B travels. Everywhere, from first to last, he won all hearts by his unaffected and kindly bearing, by his obviously keen Interest in all that he had seen and heard, 'by his frank, charming manner In private and by the admirably sincere, and manly note which sounded In .all liis public speeches. The fact is that the Duke of connaught surprised South Africa. I think the accounts' of his progress must* have a little surprised England as well.. It was a great opportunity, the first of the kind which has been offered to him and he took advantage'of it to the-full Even his official appearances would by themselves have created an exceptionally pleasant impression. "He Is il- ways so human," was the comment of an observer well versed in royal functions. "He looks as if he really.liked laying foundation stones.1' Nothing, certainly, could be more foreign to the duke than that air of bored detachment which often sits upon public men w"bo have much less excuse than royalties for -being weary of ceremonial. He followed all proceedings, however tedious and protracted with attentive eye an1 ear. Receiving addresses is a dead'y business. He had to listen to dozens of them everywhere he went. Never for a moment did he treat them as mere formalities. He hoard them and replied to them with an unfailing air of Interest Before reaching Durban, after a very shaky Journey through the mountains, he was obliged to take two draughts of medicine in succession to relieve a splitting headache, yet he went through the address presentation ceremony with -his usual gracious charm. No one even small boy noted the difference in li!s deportment before and after his head injury wrote to the governor as did also guessed that he was not feeling perfect- physicians in Dannemora who had made iy weJl. as a man. ^owever graciously he had OoWporteif Wmselt at ^mictions, there would have ib,een no gatherings of farmers ana miners at the wayside stops. There would ■diave been no crowds at stations where we halted only a law minuteg (in some cases did not halt at all.) There would be no feeling of personal affection left ibehind. It was because they heard of how he got out of his Baloon at every opportunity and walked up and down talking to anyone who happened to be there that men drove 10, 20, 40 miles to get a sight of and perhaps a word with him. It i because the fame of his kindly simplicity ran before him that whole towns flocked to the railway platforms and that the open receptions which he held were sostudlously attended. It wis due to his cheery interest in everything and everybody, to the natural .courtesy and friendliness of his manner, which at once put all at ease, to the genial humor which never failed him—that he owed his boundless popularity and the deep regret with which South Africans let him go. Duchess Popular Of course, he owed much to toe duchess and his daughter, who bore up nobly under the stress of a month's perpetual travelling. He owed much, too, to "the exceedingly pleasant and competent - staff he took with htm. Everywhere' he went Major Lowther and Capt. Bulkeley, Lord 'Hamilton of Dalzell and Capt. Grant., left.* behind troops ;of friends. .Nothing was left un- •done that could gratify people of Ml classes or make arrangements work . smoothly, as, they alwayB did. Sir Fran- ' cis -Hopwodd naturally was of the great* est value with -his wide experience of imperial affairs and that tact In dealing with oversea Britons which marks him out as the ideal mah to fill the'new office of under secretary of the Dominions as soon as it Is created. Commodore Wemyss played his part as naval aide de camp with a delightful heartiness. Capt. Scoot Worthington, the clever Canadian army doctor, Jiot only physicked the party with magical success, but made a fine figure at functions. MIsb Pelly, ■though handicapped by a bad accident which made her lame was a model to all ladles in waiting of discretion and charm. Yet, after all, though a first class staff can do much, it cannot do everything. All might have gone off like clockwork and yet the Impression left behind might have been cold and dull. It was' the duke himself who has made It utterly Impossible to look back upon the tour without a thrill of enthusiasm, Take one point alone by way of lltm- tration. After Mr. Roosevelt (whose method would perhaps be' found too demonstrative by a British community) the duke is undoubtedly the best handshaker in the world. Some times he r_ AFTER SUFFERING YEARS Cured by Lydia E. Pink= ham's VegetableCompound Fox Creek, N.B.—"I have always had pains in the loins and a weakness there, and often after my meals m y food would distress me and cause soreness. Lydia E. Plnkham'b Vegetable Compound has done me much good. I am stronger, digestion is better, and I can walk with ambition. I have encouraged many mothers of families to take it, as it is the best remedy in the world. You cau publish this in the' papers." — Mrs. Williabi 'Bouhque, Fox Creek, N.B., Canada. The above is only one of the thousands of grateful letters which are constantly being received by the Plnkham Medicine Company of Lynn, Mass., which prove beyond a doubt that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, actually does cure these obstinate diseases or women after all other means have failed, and that every such suffering woman owes it to herself to at least give Lydia E. Pinkham'B Vegetable Compound a trial before submitting to an operation, or giving up ; hope of recovery. Mrs. Plnkham, of Lynn, Mass., invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health and her advice is free. a study of his case. After giving con slderatlon to the case Mr. White decided to commute the sentence of the young man and he will be liberated in a few days. Felt Strange Influence One of the interesting phases of the case is that Grlmmell felt during his years of crime that some strange Influence held sway over him and prompted him to do things which he knew 11c should not do. After he was sent to prison for the fourth lime he began to study criminology and concluded thai possibly the injury to his slmll was responsible for all his escapades. He first interested Dr. Wilcox in the case and begged him to operate on him. Soon after his recovery he said to Dr. J. B. Ransom, physician at Clinton prison, who had charge of Hie case for Dr. Wilcox: "I see things differently and notice more and think I have found myself. I can concentrate my mind more easily and my general mental condition is better. I have noticed an In crease of sensitiveness to my prison en. vironment, consequently I am at times a little depressed over It." In his letter to Mr. White, Judge Wheeler of Buffalo wrote: "Grlmmell (at the time of his trial for forgery) did not deny any of the facts, but his counsel contended that his criminal impulses were the result of Injuries to the head received when a boy. It appeared that in boyhood Grlmmell had received a blow on the head from a picket which fractured the skull and left a depression plainly discernabie. Grlmmell declared he could not resist impulses to commit crimes and attributed his criminal propensities to big injury. "He protested a desire to lead a proper life and a willingness to submit to an operation to remove the depression In his skull in the hope of beneficial results. At the time I did not place ere. dence in the claim made In his behalf. I considered him a clever professional crook, dangerous to the community and for those reasons imposed sentence upon him. I am advised that since enter ing prison he has submitted to an operation. The facts, I understand, are all before you. I can only say that Grim- mell comes from a most respectable family and his criminal career has caused them great distress and grief." Someone Blundered One very hot morning In a small tent half filled with perspiring dusky headmen, a native interpreter read out an Interminable sequence of addresser, from Bechuana chiefs. All said the sams things In the same language. It was clear that "someone had blundered." Everyone else looked either furious or relieved Hie pangs of ennui by cavernous yawns. The duke alone sat upright, with a look of kindly attention on his face. listening to each string of formal sentences as if It contained matter of the most absorbing moment. The duke's own utterances were excellent both in substance and In form. Never content with saying merely what was expected of him, he contributed many an arresting phrase, many a su gestlve idea to the common stock of South African thought. His delivery, too. lent an added attraction to his ad dresses. He spoke always very distinctly. His pleasant voice won over his hearers from the start. He could give lessons in elocution to those who pass for orators in parliaments. At times his dramatic emphasis' was thrilling in its effect. But, after all. it was not by his demeanor in public that he captured the hearts of the South African nation and of tiie people In Rhodesia. It was not as a prince that they loved him, but Has the strength, the flavor, the quality— for baking good things!

BERLIN; Jan. 27—Public opinion liaa been somewhat diverted from perplexing speculations about the growth of social democracy in the Fatherland by questions affecting the army, its strength, its administration, and its service conditions In general. The complaint is made that the army is being starved In favor of the navy. Able critics like Captain Otto Stegemann, have severely criticized the attitude of the government, and even accused the war office of incapacity. Controversy never sleeps in Berlin, and the army question came more prominently than ever before the public mind ns a result of debate on the new law fixing the peace strength of Germany's army during the coming five years. The increase proposed will in due course bring the peace strength of the army from 590,551 to 601,200 non-commissioned officers and men. Eighteen more batteries are to he added to the field artillery, nine more battalions to the foot artillery and five new battalions to communication troops. These and other reforms account for the greater part of the new expenditure proposed— $20,- 000,000 In immediate outlay and ?5,- 450,000 permanent and annual expenditure. Military Airships. Another change has to do with the military airship and automobile services, which are being re-organized into two airship battalions, one with an airship yard; a new motor car battalion and new railway and telegraph battalions. Nothing is wrong with the machine, and the people are relieved that the war minister did not ask for a large Increase of the empire's land forces; the trouble is with the human equations in the military machine. Captain Stegemann asserted that the war office officials "during long activity in peace have been trained to the greatest possible dread of responsibility; as a result of continuous tutelage and suspicion, and of a bureaucratic system, which regulates every stroke of the pen by the minutest formal rules and hair-splitting prescriptions, they are left without self-confidence or initiative." The heads of the war office departments have also been severely criticized by. Captain Stegemann, who complained that they regarded their positions there merely as stepping stones to other appointments and were therefore wholly dependent upon subordinates. Want Better Pay.

Soldiers are paid from five to thirteen dollars monthly, and after twelve years service get a bounty of $2"i0 ami a certificate ensuring them civil employment. Married non-commissioned officers can't live on their pay, and that docs not improve their tempers. Much is heard about their brutal handling of recruits. This treatment is partly accounted for by the almost impossible task set them, under the reduction of tiie service term, of training I their juniors to the highest efficiency. \ As non-coms are held responsible for i all shortcomings in the training, equip-1 ment, and conduct of rescrults their lot Ib not a happy one.
