DRAWING ROOM BRILLIANT EVENT Nineteen Hundred of Cream of Canadian Society Attend Great Function In Ottawa. OTTAWA, Nov. 18.—Tbe firBt drawing room held by the Duke and Duchess of Connaught took place on Saturday evening and it proved to be the most gorgeous event of the kind ever witnessed In the capital. Over 1,900 people, representing Canadian society from Halifax to Victoria, made their bow to royalty. Owing to the fact that the foreign consuls have no status they have formerly declined to be present, but this year the difficulty was obviated by the. consuls-general being received In the speaker's chamber before the regular levee was held. It took the duke and duchess nearly three hours to shake hands with the 1.923 peotdo presented, Hon. J. M. Gibson, lieutenant-governor of Ontario, was first presented, followed by the-ladies of his family. Then came the prime minister and Mrs. Borden, tbe members of the cabinet and other privy councillors, Including Sir Wilfrid Laurler. Then came the senators and commoners and other people In order of precedence. Three lines of officers in uniform stood on the floor of the senate throughout the evening. A group of officers of the higher ranks stood In front of the throne. A red- coated guard occupied the main lobby. Officers of tho Dominion police were at every corridor. A bugler stood In front of the senate bl ick and nnnounced the coming and departure of the duke. In one reBpect the ceremony has no rival ln the long list of past drawing rooms, 'ine monetary expenditure represented in the rich dresses worn nt the drawing room would run. into an erormous totnl. A story that some Ottawa people mortgaged their furniture to pay their modistes may not be true, but there Is no doubt that the competition In dresses was never so keen. It was a great night for Ottawa liveries. Two trips and sometimes three were made each way by one vehicle and not for love of the work, either. Sleighs were rushing up and down the streetB leading to Parliament hill fur two bourn before the cere- mony was scheduled to begin and for a long time after it was over.

LONDON, Nov. 19.—Sensational confirmation Is coming from Berlin that during the recently reported negotiations about Morocco, Anglo-German relations were at rained so that war seemed inevitable. In "tho house of commons on ^aursday the British foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, will open a discussion on Great Britain's foreign relations, mainly to clear up the misunderstandings with Germnny. The episode, however, would have been all over and sunk In oblivion but for attacks on 'England in the reichstag and the Insistence by this government's radicnl supporters that the British policy regarding Moroccan affairs he fully explained. Sir Edward Grey's secretive methods In deplomacy will also lie criticised severely in tiie discussion, for the Liberals as a whole are bitterly resentful because tbe country was led apparently to the brink of war while ln total ignorance of what was happening, and that only personal letters from King Gt>orge and the czar to Emperor William averted the catastrophe. Sir Edward Grey's bureaucratic melhoils were condemned by bis followers in the government, but In this case the whole cabinet will stand by him. The debate is nwaited with the deepest anxiety, chiefly because It Is hoped that it will clenr the air and put the matter of Angio-Gterman rivalry In the way of being settled. MONEY WASTED ON Hon.

He said that on his western trip he waB greeted with offers of sites for drill hails and armories at every city he visited. Edmonton said: "Select your drill hall site and we will pay for it." "That is the spirit of the west," said the colonel. "The minister brought up the question of paying troops and the difficulties under which paymasters labored. "If the rate of pay as suggested will increase the expense by $80,000 will the people and your members sup port It," asked Mr. Hughes. "That is easy," called one officer.

"If you examine the attorney-general's report you will find where there are thousands of dollars spent for nonessentials. This has to cease," added Colonel Hughes with emphasis. "What is your scheme?" asked an officer. "I give you fair warning these unnecessary expenses will have to cease." "If we adopt all the plans you nre^ offering ub, we would have to double the expenditure on the malitia. ' would ask you all to study the auditor general's report. Find out what the non-essentials are and help us to eliminate them." CLERGYMAN TAKES HIS LIFE AT COAST Rev, T. Walker, Late of Merritt, Found Hanging to Rafter—Despondency From Illness Cause.

ET UNO IH Intention to Forestall Occupation by Other Powers ANTI-FOREIGN FEELING GROWS Yuan on Ski Kai Will Carry Fight Against Revolutionaries PEKIN, i>ov, 19.—The Japanese troops landed last night at Che Fog. Following so closely on the Mikado'.* request that his government be deputized to act for the other powers in China, this landing on Chinese soil is regarded here as the most startling development since the rebellion Btarted. The request of the Japanese that tbe powers place their Chinese interests in the Mikado's hands was Interpreted in Pekin as a diplomats expresson of Japan's unwillingness to Bee another nation secure a foothold on what it considers Its especial field of influence. Other Powers May Follow. The Chee Foo landing is taken as a definite attempt to forestall its rivdls by acting before they have time to decline the Toklo government's offer. That anti-foreign feeling In China Is growing is a fact, but all diplomats have agreed hitherto that the actual landing of troops ought to be avoided as long as possible, owing to the certainty that the move will bring to the Burface all the native hostility to aliens. Japan having forced their hands, however, it Beems certain that landings by the other powers will speedily follow. It Is considered especially fortunate that the United States minister, Mr. Calhoun, early today ordered all Americans in the interior into tho treaty port at once. It is believed most of them will be already on their way toward the coast and probably in places of safety before the news of Japan's action has had time to spread among the native population- Abdicate or Fight. PEKING, Nov. 19.—Demands for the throne's abdication are crowding upon the premier, Yuan Shi Kai, who doubtless will be forced to make a decision within a week.

It Is reported tonght that the plainer has ordered a renewal of the attack upon Han-yang and Wuchang. It this is true, it signifies his choice. The government has suceeded in ridding the l-.un-cl.aii troops of both the revolutionary generals. Chang Shao Tseng and Lan Tien Woi. The former is now at Tien-tsin. The latter has been dismissed and is proceeding southward. There has been an unexpected display of patriotism during the last day or two.

D, Honsbergor will discuss the best, varieties of apples to grow in this dis- trlct, while W. A. Cooper, delegate to Burnaby the Mecca for Manufacturers New companies with a capitalization of $16,840,000, are now applying for incorporation in Canada. Vancouver has been selected as the headquarters for almoBt half of this new capital, or $8,110,000, and the great majority of the sites selected for manufacturing concerns will be in Burnaby. MilllonB or capital Is now being expended In Burnaby water froul. age by railway companies now building, also in harbor improvements, new car lines, electric light and telephone systems, grading of streels, laying of sidewalks, improving parks, and hundreds of new homes. The rapidity with which the city of Vancouver and New Westminster are pushing towards each ot her through Burnaby, is a constant source of surprise. There is no boom In real estate, but a steady advance in prices corresponding with development. On account or the immense amount of money now on hand for future expenditure, together with new capital continually coming In, there can be no possible doubt that the present rate of development and Increase In values will continue for several years. If a savings bank advertised that it would pay depositors 10 per cent annually you can Imagine the rush there would be to open an account. Why? Because people know a bank Ib safe and 10 per cent Is over three times the usual interest, but at 10 per cent Bimple interest it would take 10 years for your capital to double. Good real estate is, a? safe an Investment as any bank; It cannot fail, or be stolen, and real eBtate in that part of Burnaby situated between the two cities is not only an absolutely safe investment, but ia paying much more than 10 per cent. We believe that lots in this portion of Burnaby, which, we are now offering at from $350 to $400, will be worth at the very least double that amount In two years; this Is 60 per cent annually. Some of our purchasers In Burnaby have made 300 to 400 per cent and the property ls still advancing very rapidly in value. Where our subdivisions are situated Ib bound, in the very nature of things, to be somewhere near the center of one great city in the future, and be worth many times the present value. Remember our guarantee to extend time for payment lf necessary, and if you get disabled from any cause, to re-sell lots and return amount paid. Delays are dangerous; we may not be able to make thiB offer much longer, as tha amount of property remaining for subdivision between cities Is now very limited. THE WRIGHT INVESTMENT CO., LTD.

OTTAWA, Nov. 19.—Members of the house, more particularly those of the opposition, have given notice of a large number of questions, which Indicate the nature of the business which will to some extent engage the attention if the house in the course of the next few weeks. The official acts of the new gov ernment since it came into office are being made the subject of Inquiry by opposition members. For instance, Hon.

Lots South-East Calgary How Fortunately They Are Situated In close proximity to a city of 60,000 people, bordered on the north by the Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern railway grades, now ready for the steel, where the city council are offering at cost factory sites and trackage property, where five factories are already under bonds to build and others asking for sites.

Surely this Is a fortunate chance for YOU, for some day If you buy now you will thank us, and we venture the opinion we are helping YOU by placing this chance within your reach for only $10 cash and $10 a month without interest, and remember the big money is yet to be made. How's that? Well figure this out for yourself: j The Great Northern Railroad placed their shops at Hillyard, five miles out of Spokane. They employ only 500 men, but a city of 3,000 people sprang up at once at Hillyard. The big C. P. H. shops in South Bast Calgary will employ more than 2,000 men. Figuring at the same rate, there will he a city of more than 12,000 people in South East Calgary inside of the next two years, and this, mark you, without including tbe big manufacturing plants. Watch It Grow You ought to know the money others have made by buying when we advised them. But see to it that YOU are one of the number who are going to reap the benefit of tbe big advance that will surely come when the car shops and manufacturing plants are completed and when the civic improvements are made. The priceB we are now aBking for our lots will seem ridiculously low to the prices that will be asked for the same property in a very short time. Warning to the Investing Public H has been brought to our notice that certain claims are being put forward hy interested parties to serve their own ends, that THEIR property is the only official townsite in connection with the big car shops of the C. P. R. in South East Calgary. In connection with all such claims we wish to say that we are in a position to state emphatically There Is Mo Such Official Townsite and we consider it our duty to our clients and the general public to advise them against being deceived by any such claims. It is pretty safe to follow where shrewd business men and big corporations put their money, they don't spend without assurance of big profits. If we were at liberty to tell you the names of some of the shrewd business men who have bought our C. N. R. lots It would Be a big surprise to you, but knowing ns we do that the city council and some of the largest business houses of Calgary have bought heavily of the adjoining property, it surprises Us' that YOU do not follow their example, because You #ant the Best Investment for your hard-earned savings, therefore you just owe it to YOURSELF to Investigate our properties, as our prices are better and terms easier, and the millions of dollars being spent immediately surrounding our properties will surely benefit and continue to increase their value at a very rapid rate, besides, One Good Investment is worth a lifetime of saving, as dozens of our satisfied clients can prove lo you beyond any shadow of doubt. Why not ask them? Or better still, come in and have a talk with us. If you haven't quite enough ready money we may be able to help you out. We have started others and shall be only too pleased to lend you a helping hand. Anyhow, an ounce of investigation is worth a pound of cheap argument.

That British investors require definite facts and figures before they can be persuaded to embark upon Canadian enterprises would seem almost ax ionuitic, and yet It is undoubted thai many proposals that when well understood are of the highest attractiveness have failed to secure support in Loudon merely because sufficient definite information has not been readily avail able; and Mr. Gibson Arnoldi's state ment that the information provided by Canadian promoters In England is often far too Indefinite, is no doubt well founded. The British investor considering an opening for the employment of capital in Canada is in a position different io that of a Canadian financier In similar circumstances. He does not possess the preliminary knowledge that a Canadian would have. Conditions in the Dominion are comparatively unknown to him, and he requires to study the proposal in detail before he is In a position to comprehend the merits of the scheme. A Canadian, if he does not understand the details of the particular proposal being placed before him, has probably some acquaintance with enter prises of a similar nature; he has at least a comprehension of Canadian conditions, and, in place of the natural caution of the British investor, he Is in spired with an optimism bred of the A druggist can obtain an imitation ot MINARD'S LINIMENT from a Toronto house at a very low price, and have it labeled his own product.

ROYAL VISITS TO THE IMPERIAL DOMINIONS. The fact that His Majesty King George will be hi constant wireless communication with the seat of government In London during his entire voyage to India Is not only an example of the triumphs achieved by science In recent years, but it hints at the possibility of other royal visits to the various dominions of the Empire. Science ls now independent of the aid of wires, cables and similar material assistance In effecting means of communication. The atmosphere itself is the medium of transmission, every ship may be its own receiving station, and on land or sea, in any part of the civilized globe almost Instantaneous inter course can be arranged with the centre of the empire. The days when an ocean voyage involved a severance of relations with the outside world have passed. The chief reason preventirg the Sovereign of the empire from visiting his outlying dominions has been removed, and the first visit of the reigning monarch to the Indian empire may prove to be the precursor of similar journeys to other Btates of the Empire. Except in times of especial political or international stress the absence of the Sovereign from the United Kingdom, now that it no longer involves a cessation of communication with the British cabinet, Involves no national hazard, and the influence that visits of the Sovereign to the overseas dominions might exert upon the cause of imperial solidity would fur outweigh, any temporary inconvenience that might be involved. i This Date in History. | Sir Wilfrid Laurler was born at St. Lin, Quebec, In 18-11, on this date.

To the Editor of the Dally News: Sir:—Feeling sure that some residents of Nelson retain remembrances ji those who spent happy years in the prosperous city among the mountains in "Glorious Kodtenay," I ilo not think it amiss to send a few Hues to inform your readers of the residents of Nelson sojourning in the future northern terminus of the new transcontinental railway and on the adjacenl islands, the last land between America und Asia. The first and foremosl of our residents is .lohn Klrkpatrick, a prosperous merchant, alderman and much respected citizen of Prince Rupert, He was an ardent supporter of the late John Houston and resided with hiin on the mineral claim which was staked in order to give the residents a place on which to conduct business houses. In the early days of the northern metropolis, any kind of a building served as a store, and Mr. Klrkpatrick had "two buildings of that description," which cannot be described in print. They were of the ramshackle order; but served the purpose for which they were erected. From a small beginning your former citizen built up a trade that has grown, and he is now one of the best known out- litters on Sixth avenue. A few days on the corner of one of the principal streets, and with lhat urbanity characteristic of the pioneer, he views the future location of a business house that will rival any other ou the coast, ln charitable work he is the foremost, having fathered the Prince Rupert General hospital, an instutttlon that is of immeasurable benefit to the sick and needy. In all public enterprises the name of John Kirkpatrick appears foremost. Martin Reilly, also, Is in business at the terminal city. He was marrleo recently and 'is taking an interest in the city of his adoption. Although ho takes no part in matters connected with civic affairs, Mr. Reilly is a member of several societies and clubs, and Is respected by all with Whom he comes in contact. In the future of Prince Rupert Mr. Reilly will be heard BAKING COSTS! lllNOll MORE [THAN THE WW KINDS! ilHH!iji!!!i;*! of as one of Its most progressive citizens, * Dr. W. Barratt Clayton also, Is a meinbor of the city council and a foremost Conservative. He is 'becoming a good platform speaker and is engaged in building up Prince Rupert. At meetings and social affairs he is called upon to preside and fills the position admirably. He is succeeding iu business and will make a name fo>* himself lf the dash and energy that characterizes his recent ventures are any criterion. It Is truly quite a "jump," from Nel son to the Queen Charlotte group of islands; but there we find Nelson represented. A few days ago we met W. G. McMorrls, exploiting the coal fields in which he is interested, and from which he is certain to obtain a fortune. On the same'islands I met A. C. Garde, the mining engineer, and Mr. Parkd. Both are interested in the black sands deposits, on the east shore of Graham island, and they are confident of ultimate success on the venture in which they are engaged. It is no unusual occurrence to meet former residents of Nelson in the far north, and all speak well of their former home. They take a lively interest in the affairs of your city and all expect to pay a' visit to the "hub of the Kootenays' in the near future. Regarding the- writer, I am occupying the position of Indian agent, in the Queen Charlotte agency. The comparatively unknown islands stand between America and Asia, nearer to America than to the land of the Mongolian. Our natives are of a superior, class, with their town councils, good streets, department stores, bras9 bands, city balls, churches, schools and all that goes to make prosperous communities. After.a life.of excitement, necessitated by 35 years of city fire- departments, one is prone to feel the isolation consequent on life outBlde the reach of newspapers and the telegraph. Now and then we visit Prince Rupert, In travelling from one end of the agency lo the other, and this breaks the monotony. There are about BOO white residents on the islands, and settlers are coming In rapidly. Coal, oil, minerals, and other natural resources are being exploited, while the wealth of fish and timber will command the attention of the outside world very soon and communities will spring up that should outrival the islands to the south in wealth and com merce. Prince Rupert is building up very rapidly, although there will be no great rise In real estate until the completion of the G. T. P. railway. The city council, in which two of your former residents have seats, Is doing a great deal in the introduction of water, light and other means of malting a* future.great city. The number of steamships calling at Prince Rupert, and the work In progress, compares with many other ocean ports very favorably. Three newspapers furnish reading matter for tbe 6,0')0 residents, and all are published by able men. The G. T. P. is contem plating the construction of a dry dock, nnd a sixteen storey hotel. Cold Btorage plants are bein^ erected, and neighboring towns are being connect ed by railway as the road is built towards the east. It is beyond doubt that Prince Rupert will be a large and busy place, but it will not grow to i very appreciable extent until the completion of the railway In about two years. Prices of real estate are not high, considering the future possibilities of the country, and there is a great deal of outside capital invested in property. THOMAS DEASEY.

A wedding took place at the Methodist parsonage last evening: at which J. Ritchie of Nelson was united to Miss Nellie Jud- son of onatham, Ont. Postmaster Gllker lias resigned and will devote his entire time to his business, the resignation to take effect at the end of the year. Bylaw Ifil, providing for a contract between the «ity and the West Kootenay Power & Light Co. to furnish a minimum of 100 horse power for a year, waB defeated at the polls yesterday. The vote stood 207 for and 160 against. It was necessary to have a three-fifths majority to have carried the bylaw. NOTHING ORDINARY ABOUT WOMEN CRIMINALS Several recent crimes In which women played tbe leading part, have moved the French writer, Jean Frollo, lo study women criminals. The woman criminal, he says, never displays In her exployits what is known as "simplicity of genius." Her crimes are al ways too complex, to ramified to escape observation on the part of the close Investigators. There Is plenty of ingenuity in them—more perhaps than in those of men—but where the man criminal leaves the one inevitable overlooked point, the female of that class will leave a dozen. In particular do many essentially feminine attributes display themselves ln woman after the commission of crime. Frollo assures that criminal woman cannot conceal her secret. She muBt blab, and as another trait is her 'unfailing desire for sympathy in her hour ji tribulation, it follows that the Inevitable confidant Is bound in long, or short, time to extract the secret from the peccant feminine.

MOOSE JAW, Saalt., Nov. 19.—The board of trade, assisted by the city council, have completed the civic census of the city and tt is stated on most reliable authority that the present population of the city is between 19,5,00 and 20,000. The closest figures obtainable meantime are 19,702. One of the outstanding features of the census taking was numerous cases of overcrowding discovered by the enumerators. In some cases houses which were originally intended to house four to seven people were found to contain from IB to 30 inmates. In several cases It waB learned that one party, who waB engaged at night, occupied a bed during the day of another, whose occupation made it possible, slept In the same bed during the night. Following the reports of enumerators, prominent citizens are already going into the question of building n largo number of houses which will meet tho e-iuirments of working men and at the same time rent for a moderate figure.

Remarkable Career of Pulitzer of New York World—Attempted Reforms —Wonderful Energy. One of the most remarkable figures in American journalism—probably the most remarkable when his affliction of blindness is taken into regard—passed away with the death of Joseph Pulitzer, the editor and proprietor of the New York World. He was a man of wide culture and extraordinary genius for newspaper development. He leaves behind him as his monument the great paper with which his name has been $dentii]ied since 1885. He was a Hungarian hy birth, born in Budapest on April 10, 1847, and went to the United States in 1864. The Republic spelled opportunity to the youth passionately devoted to freedom and liberty. America embodied that to him in boyhood in Hungary. When 17 found him a well grown lad over six feet tall, broad shouldered and rugged, he persuaded his mother to let him answer the call he heard across the seas. Arriving at Hamburg he was robbed, but that even did not halt him. He worked liis way across the Atlantic and on his arrival at once enlisted in the war for the Union, joining on September 30, 1864, the Lincoln cavalry (the FirBt New York Cavalry). He served under Sheridan's command in the 3henandoah valley until mustere1. out at the end of the war. alter riding in Lhe ranks at (he famous review In Washington. Opportunity that had loomed ho largo seemed a vanished thing when the young soldier with his discharge papers found himself but one of the hundreds of thousands seeking it, searching for any kind of work. "1 spoke little but German then." he bus said, and I realized lhat I was not likely to learn much English among the Germans 1 knew. So 1 started for a real American city in the interior, one away from the sea. I chose St. Louis because I had heard mosi about It, and was amazed to find, when I got there, that it was even more German than New York." .Joseph Pulitzer first sought his opportunity in the law. As he worked here and there for his daily bread lie sought out a library and studied law at night. Keenly interested in public affairs, attracted by politics, and having a readiness of oratory, he soon made a reputation in St. Louis. He was admitted to the bar in 18117, ami looked forward to a career there. Fate disposed otherwise. The great Ger man paper of the middle west was the Westlicher Post, owned by Dr. Emil Practoriua and edited by Carl Schultz. It needed a reporter, and the managing editor, who played u good game of chess also, thought of his old antagonist, Joseph Pulitzer, He knew his ability, was familiar with his energy, enthusiasm and zeal, and offered him the job. "Why 1 can't write," was the answer of the young man, amazed and laughing. The editor said he knew better anil persisted. Joseph Pulitzer gave up hia budding law practice, and fn 18iiS join ed the staff of the Westlicher Post. He was then 21 years old. Zeal, Energy and Success.. Old newspaper men In St. Louis still tell stories of the new reporter's zea;. energy and success In his work. He would dash out on a lire alarm regardless of coat or hat; he worked all hours, pushed everywhere. Soon he wns made city editor ,and the work went on with greater force. The ne executive drove everyone, himself mosi of all. Politics attracted him more than ever. He was elected.a member of tbe .Missouri state legislature in ISM, and was a mernlber of the State Conslutlonal convention in 1874. He became of more value to the Weal licher Post, was made Its managing editor nnd later part proprietor. Mr. Pulitzer became a hearty supporter of the Liberal Republican movement that culminated in the Cinclnnnt' convention in 1872, which nominated Horace Greeley for president. He went there as a delegate from Missouri und was made one of the secretaries. In the campaign that followed he waB in great demand throughout Ohio and the middle west to follow and answer Paul Schultz, and nightly addressed large audiences of Germans In, Our Underwear Stock Includes Every Desirable Style and Every Desirable Quality, While Our Prices Are the Fairest Possible mmm Merely because we do not advertise our underwear department as freely as other departments Isn't any reason at all to believe It is not worthy of special mention—because It is—fact Is it's important enough to be advertised every day. You'd think so, too, If you knew how exacting we are with manufacturers to FORCE them to deliver to us the right weights, sizes that are ample and well fitting, and qualities and prices that mensure up to OUR standard of value giving. Our plan has been to make this season's underwear stock noticeably better and bigger than any season heretofore. We are ready to meet your every requirement in Fall underwear but, of course, you realize It's hest to supply your needs early, for then you have unrestricted choice of ALL styles, ALL qualities and a FULL range of sizes and prices.

He fought with all his might for the election of Tihlen in IST'J and Caxed his physical resources, in speech making and campaigning. He was elected to the 411th congress in New York for the term of ISSo-iSoi, but resigned after a few month's service; was a delegate to the Cincinnati Liberal Republican convention which nominated Horace Greeley for president; after that a Democrat: advocated the national 'gold standard Democratic licket in 18!)U. In 1893 endowed with $1,000,000 the Columbia College of Journalism, with an agreement t., give an additional $1,000,000 when the school should be in successful operation; in 1887 his health was broken by over work, and he has since been au invalid, totally blind. By 18711 the St. Louis Dispatch had I'alen Into evil days, its circulation had dwindled, Its plant little better than junk, and the sheriff in charge. At the sheriff's sale Mr. Pulitzer bought the paper for $2, SOU. and soon made a solid success of it. The New York World, under the editorship of William H. Hubbard, with a circulation of 20,000, had then a ploco in the community fixed by the fact that it was owned by Jay Gould. Every.j thing that it printed was under sus-, Icion of having been colored or In fluenced by the rich manipulator o/ Wall street. It was prosperous: it was for sale. Mr. Pulitzer in .May 18S.';. bought it of Jay Gould personally. One block of 25 shares was held elsewhere. The World grew rapidly under Mr, Pulitzer's hand; the quarters on Park Row opposite the postoffice were es- tended and enlarged only to be hopelessly outgrown. Mr. Pulitzer on April Hi, 1888. bought the French hotel property at the corner of Park Row and Frankfort .street, and , the following year began to erect the Pulitzer building, where tbe World is now published. He was the first to use the steel skeleton in a large business building. In the years that followed his blindness he was as active as ever In the direction of Lhe great newspaper. Tbe success of the World Is the success of yellow journalism, of which Mr. Pulitzer was the first notable evangel- list. Here aro some of the reforms he set hlmsedf to accomplish iby the in- Btrumentability of the World, whose policy he directed as a Democratic organ: The taxation of luxuries. The taxation of inheritences. The taxation of monopolies. The taxation of large Incomes. The taxations of Lhe privelegea of corporations. A tariff for revenue. Reform of civil service. Punishment of corrupt office holders. Punishment of vote buying. Punishment of employers who coerce their employees fn elections. REGINA COAL MEN ARE IN QUANDARY REGIXA, Sask., Xov. 19.—Coal dealers are worrying considerably over the situation. All of them hate to stuck up with American coal when prospects of getting supplies from the western mines aro brightening, yet, at the same time, they do not desire to allow the chances of getting Ann'! iean coal to slip away. Just UI present they are in a quandary. They could stock up with American coal hut fear to do it with prospects nf cheaper coal from the west. In a short time, however, the possibility of getting American coal will be none, nnd unless western coal comes in there will be a real famine In Saskatchewan. Must of them will take the chance of waiting for Alberta coal, however, so far as could he learned.

A. Warrant at JIM). AT THE THEATRE It seems to us that the Jeanne Russell company of players are showing a surer grasp of their art than we have noticed during the previous visits of this company to the city, says the Calgary Herald of the company which will produce "The American Girl" at the opera house tonight. As a vehicle of dramatic expansion the comedy, "The American Girl" afforded them considerable scope, of which they took every advantage. The story of the play is pretty well known to our readers, so we are more concerned with the actors themselves. The part of the American theatrical malinger, as played by Mr. Brandon, was Immensely amusing, and for our part his most successful essay In character work so far. He was natural, easy in his bearing, volatile, and Irresponsible. He entered thoroughly Into the spirit of the game, and forgot himself in the portrayal of the amiable American. Of MIbs Russell's work we have had occasion to speak before. As Lady Babble, the light-hearted gypsy, In Babble's play, she gave us some of her best; whilst in "Ah American Girl" we saw another phase of her work equally admirable. Mies Russell has a splendid speaking voice, and nn enunciation as clear as an Albertan April. We are looking forward to seeing Miss Russell In "CouMn Kate," ln which sue Is to star south of the 49th. The Sir John Balfour of Norval McGregor was a complete study, excepting Hie baronet in "The Man from Home." We have not seen an actor attempt such a character without becoming a parody and a weariness to the flesh. Mr. McGregor is a pillar of strength to the company. His urbanity of manner and sense of what Is required of a gentleman were refreshing to watch. Of the other ladles and gentlemen of the caste, our space forbids individualizing, but although we cannot refer to them singly, the ensemble was a great improvement on anything given before. One character sketch during the performance struck us—and the applause and amusement of the audience supports our opinion In the matter—was the "James" of George W. Brandon. At every appearance James was greeted with laughter. For pomposity, woodeness, and servile lackylsm James would he hard to beat. The bearing of the man was full of self-Importance. Dickens would have given anything to have met »ames. James, with the Idiotic whiskers. One thing the Jeanne Russell company do, and do well. They select good plays. In this they show their sense, for many repertoire companies are dammed at the start in the selection of dramas written by men who peddle the emotions with a soup ladle, and put on their comedy with a buzz saw. The subjects Included In the change of program at the Gem theatre this evening are; "The Waif," an Imp feature, a splendid child drama; "The Star Reporter," (Yankee), an exciting Btory of a 1 newspaper "scoop," showing a complete I newspaper plant and one of Its gigantic presses In full operation; "On the Snowy Summit of Mount Blane," a scenic subject of great beauty, and "Foolshcad Is Jealous," a clever comedy. PEDIGREES OF APPLE TREES Washington Fruit Expert Advocates Keeping of "Stud-book"—Believes in Up- Breeding. That the day is approaching when apple trees, ln common with cattle, horses and poultry, -will have their pedigrees recorded ln a "stud-book" is the opinion of H. M. Llchty, a fruit expert from Sunnyside, Wash., who is visiting the Kootenay and .Boundary districts. During the past few days Mr. Llchty haB visited a number of ranches near Nelson and haB distributed metal tags among the growers by means of which the records of the performances of the best tji-ees In the orchards may be kept and recorded in a register, Each of these tags has a number which corresponds with a number in tho "stud-book." "Tbe great advantage of keeping the I-edigrees pf the trees," said Mr. Llchty "Is that it enables the grower to obtain scions for grafting from the trees in his orchard, or in some othe ■ person's orchards, which by their records have been proved to be the producers of the best fruit and the most regular crops. "I am a great believer in up-breeding," he continued. "It Ib, beyond question, possible by careful selection of scions to up-breed in such a way as to produce fruit of steadily improving quality. The pedigree system applied to fruit is intended simply to improve existing varieties and not to create new varieties." . Mr. Litchy advocates planting youu, apple trees In rows 35 feet apart, with the trees l"_ feet apart, fillers alternating In rows. He hellves In plan.- ing only standard varieties as fillers and suggests planting two different varieties of the same class of apples ln blocks of about six rows. As an Instance he has found that Wagners and Yellow Newton Pippins alternating In rows succeed admirably. The wide space he advises in order that a,mple room be given for -cultivation, spraying, Irrigation, if necessary, and sunlight. The wide rows also permit of the planting of alfalfa and other crops between the trees.

HALIFAX, N. S„ Nov. 19.—The court, martial on the Niobe yesterday afternoon concluded Its series of three trials by giving a decision that the charge against Commander W. B. Macdonald was not proven. The president of the court, in rendering this judgment and handing back to the commander bis sword, stated that it gave him groat pleasure to say that Commander Macdonald was honorably acquitted. It. came out In the commander's defense that the courtmartlal had been personally asked for by him. The commander explained this in the following terms: "On October 19, not having heard that steps had been taken by which I could vindicate my conduct, and realizing that it was a critical time in my imperial service career, I sent the following telegram: "'Admiralty, London: Respectfully Gold Quartz and Nugget Jewelry Our quartz rings and brooches are unique and very popular.

Commander Macdonald, in the course of his defense, submitted a statement of occurrences from the time of leaving Yarmouth up to the time of the grounding and the subsequent stepf, taken to save the ship. Says Computation or Tide Correct. At 9:55, after getting away from Yarmouth, I rounded Blonder Rock buoy," he said, "and shaped our course S. 74 E. The night was very clear. Up to this time no abnormal tide had been encountered and there was nothing lo lead me to suppose that any corrections other than those allowed for the tides would be necessary. I am firmly ol' the opinion that Lieutenant White's computation of the tide was the correct one, which the point of our stranding proves, and that had there not heen an abnormal tide the ship would have made the southwest ledge buoy even in the thick weather. About 10:15 p. m. I gave my night order book to the officer of the watch on the forebridge and pointed out to him that the ship was making the southwest ledge buoy and to see that the ship was not set in to the northward and on no account to permit of his course being changed, but to keep generously to starboard. At this time the night was extremely fine and starry. I then went into my cabin on the forebridge. "On being called at midnight I came out of my cabin and found that the ship had run into a fog. I called out Lieutenant White's name and was informed that he was not on the upper bridge I sent for him. As my reduced speed had not enabled me to hear the southwest ledge buoys whistle, I determined to haul out and went into the chart house to determine a course. I had just leaned over the chart when the ship took ground. The time from my first being informed that the southwest ledge buoy was sighted to the time of grounding was about 20 minutes. Cause of Accident, "I beg to state that the cause of our grounding was an abnormal tide, duo either to the gale the previous night in the tfay of Fundy or perhaps to a hurricane in the West Indies. I would ask the members of the court to place themselves in my position on the night in question; to remember that at 10:15 when I gave my order book and instructions to the officers of the first watch, the night was exceptionally fine, excep tionally clear; that no abnormal tide had heen experienced and I was keot In ignorance of the fact that the Cape Sable light had not been.seen when we were closely approaching it; that when I was called about the time I expected to be I was definitely informed that the buoy had been seen and heard immediately before the fog closed down, in the position I expected it to be seen. I am of the opinion that neither the charts, tide tables nor sailing directions give the seamen not possessed of locai knowledge, any Idea of the danger of the locality. I am not claiming to have grounded on uncharted' rock, though this may well be the case, for I think that this locality probably abounds 'n uncharted rocks, which only ships of deep draught discover." The squadron sailed this afternoon for Bermuda. ShilohiGure QUICKLY STOPS COUQHS, CURES COLDS.
