He hud heard compulsory fthilltary service was to be established In the Dominion and had no guarantee lhat ft would,not be; therefore, to be on the safe side, as It were, tbe ''Doukhobors refused lo give the required Information.. He said that they hud reason tp. be* doubtful us to' the friendliness of the government here, on account of the way they hud treated thorn, In refusing to allow them, to-build a bridge across tho river at Brilliant aftor il had been promised to them, and thoy had collected all the mnleyiul and capital necessary. Mr. Veregln yestorday again refused to laVany oath, affirmation or-nnyfhln-g that might In the eyes of the English speaking people be binding upon his conscience. Owing to the constant use of nn Interpreter the-procoedln'gs wore very slow and drawn out. Of Three Sects. .j^Phe conimissloner commenced by 1 *MlMS.J$ IHvre-Wflmnriy-differeJif se&fs 'among nil- Doukhobors, and If so how they came to be- separated. Mr. Veregln answered that originally In Russia ytlie pmikliobors. were all of the one faith, but that on coming to Canada ten years .ngo they hud divided Into threo groups, each with a different faith. First there were those who adhered to the old religious faith its had been practiced In Russin, who kept up the traditions and lived entirely In the community1. The second .group consisted of those who thought thoy had to comply with the laws of Canadu,.h:id become citizens and lived ns English speaking pfeople, .The third group consisted of those Doukhobors who.did not recognize any Individual proporty, not even the clothes thoy wear. Tho Commissioner—To which group do ihe Doukhobors lu British Columbia belong Veregin—To tho first group, those who hold tn the old original teachings without any modifications ut all. The people belonging to lho other groups live In Saskatchewan. The Commissioner— TTavo these modifications which the other two groups have taken been made In Canada? t Veregln—Yes. Less Than One-Fifth Adopt Laws. The Commissioner—How large Is tbo group . belonging to the second class, who adupt themselves to the laws and customs of Canada? Veregln—Loss than one-fifth of tho total number in the Dominion. The Commissioner—Then It nil amounts, to this, that in about ten yenrs about 1,000, who originally had the same faith aa you have now, saw tholr way fit to conform to the laws of Canada and have becomo citizens? Veregln—My opinion Is thnt had the government not taken away the lands from the people in Saskatchewan' n'nd hnd treated them justly, they would all havo become subjects and woiild have compiled with lho'laws-of the land. ( The Commissioner-Then their re- luclancy to become citizens Is due mainly to tho trouble ovor the lands In Saskatchewan? Veregln—yes, The Commissioner-—Ts there any such reason why In British Columbia, whero you have not been unjustly treated, you will not becomo citizens? Here you have bee treated fairly nnd you .claim this Is the main reason Why yqu did not becomo subjects. |i Veregln—When wo left Saskatchewan we did' so wilh a hard feeling in our hearts toward the government of Canada, and that had we como hero without any feeling against the government we would in all probability have become subjects. The^Commlsaloner—Have you haa any reason to have any ill feeling toward the British Columbia government regarding title to lands or any reason to believe you would have your lands taken away from you as you hud In the prairie? Trouble Over Bridge. Veregln—No, but from the solo fact that when wc wero In need of a bridge nt Brilliant and so advised thc government", and on stnttng that we would furnish all material necessary, and had gone ahead on the assurance of the government that we could build the bridge, the government after promising Jt to us refused to allow It to bo built. The people knew lhat the government wns aware of the need of n bridge since several men had ' been drowned while crossing the river und they were continually bringing In supplies by the carload with no means of 'getting them across the river, und thoy therefore thought thc government did not Intend to treat them fairly and the present ill feeling grow up among them. The Commissioner—Has any reason been given why the bridge was not allowed to be built? Veregin—No tbe oply advice on the mailer was a letter from tlie government stating that it could not bo built. The Commissioner—But wero you not in the same, fix as any other community which had been promised a bridge* by ibe government and bad not obtained it? Veregin—No, we were different. Wo bad collected nil ihe material necessary to build it und had even engaged Ihe engineer to look after tbe work, besides having paid $ir>,000 in tuxes. The Commissioner—-Aro you aware that hero no matter from whom the land you have was bought, the government has given you a.crown grant to it, whicii nothing can nps-.it.and therefore, you owe compliance to the laws, \VhfIe In Saskatchewan the land was nol crown granted and could bo taken awny? Veregln—T understand thnt. The Commissioner—You told me yes: terday that when ihe Doukhobors came to Nelson they had ay agreement thut they did not have to obey the laws. Ts that so? Veregln—W« bad tin -agreement, whatever. The Commissioner—If Ihey bad no agreement regarding' iion-compllanco with these registration laws, why did you suppose you could break thoin without being responsible for thc consequence ? Veregln—A Doukliobor according to his first leaching understands that if lie gives no promise to comply with anything he Is free in all his .ways concerning thai matter.- The Commissioner—rDo you understand that if a. man lives in this country-he nirnd obey Ihe'laws In'- eveiy respect? Veregln—1 think, and'1 believe II is Hie opinion of my people, thai only a ctllwn and subject. Is compelled to obey all tho laws, and that Ihuse who do not become clltzens do not have, necessarily to obey all the laws of the land.

For Cheaper Cable Rates, roslm.astor General Pellfctler made thc following statement before lea ing: "When 1 firsi arrived in London I said that one-of the most Intpurlaui objects of my visit was lo try to ub tain a reduction of Hie cable rates. 1 then promised to make a public slat ment,:before I K^ Those rates in my opVnlun arc unfair aim silould Ik considerably lower. Rt. Hon. il. L Samuel, British postinasler general has received me with Ihe utmost kindness and courtesy. We had ipgotllfjr many interviews and conversation)! Well as negotiations with the manager of one of the two cable companies. I also met lhc president of the other cable company with some fin* porlnnl officials of Mr. Samuel's de- parlnielit, "At thu'given momcnl I thought it preferable to" end the protracted negotiations and lo suggest respectfully lo the British postmaster general among other tilings, that he nilghl perhaps under aulhorily given lilm by lhc lauding licensq of one of the companion; (subject to appeal provided lliefe- In) fix thu rates himself. I had several reasons for doing lhat. These no* gotlalion's were taking n h i.». long lo suit what I humbly conceive to bl business methods. Secondly, nol having tlie power to force on *mi unwilling people any solution, I Ihoughl Canada should slop al a point whore il becomes undignified for a country like ours'lo ask in vain even from a powerful company, that which il con- skit-rod just and fair. Moreover, as l could clearly sec thai lliese negolia lions wore not likely to realize any thing like our full expectations inn those of our sister dominions, Aus Iralia and New /.'aland, 1 did uol want them to be bound by the rcsull and so have to a certain extent thoii hands tied, consequently, I then turn* cd my mind lu another direction ami told lho principal negotiator on the company's side that I was doing so. "While I was working for something belter than tlie cable companies seemed disposed to grant Mr. Samuels, who bad more power iu his hands wiili bis lauding license, and who could to' u certain extent, command, reopened alone negotiations with a view t bringing the cable companies In a point where some of the rales at least would be reduced by consent instead of my ministerial decree. This i good move on his purl, Inasmuch ii will render unnecessary lho ap) Which would have entailed consl able delay. Mr. Samuel lias Informed m*y of Hie progress made so far aiul of bis hopes of further progress in Hu early future. Some Rates to Be Reduced. "Willi regard to some ut llie other rales all 1 can now say Is that it hat now been decided, so far, thai noun of lliem will bo reduced and stub re ductlon will bu made within it foil night or so, but that all rates will nol bo lowered. Mr. Samuel being av 1 do not care to announce today whal tho reductions nre decided on, and in the whole, the public will be In a bet ter position to appreciate these rodtio tlons if they arc made altogether am not piecemeal. Mr, Samuel will win nie of all reductions io i.<- made when all the details huvo been worked out. They will bo announced simulti ously by him and by inc. As far as I uui concerned, I will reserve my humble Judgment until I know Ibe full extent of these reductions. However, I wish lo state that Canada is h0| hound to accept these reductions. "As the lust word io be used In this mntler of cable rales our liberty of action remains unimpaired for many reasons and among others because our sister overttcus dominions, wilh wh we desire to act In full eo-oporatlon ami In .concerted action, will have I be consulted as to tbe future course ol events. Meanwhile, everybody will be happy tu hear that at least sopie reduction will be made in lho high rates to which thc public have so long been subjected."

EIGHT RESCUED AT SASKATOON FIRE Half-Clad Women and Children Are Pulled From Flames of Burning Rooming House, (By Dally News Leased Wire.) SASKATOON, Aug. 30.—Half clad, eight persons were at 1:30 this morning rescued with difficulty from the burning Alberta chop house on Twentieth street, near First avenue.

A rooming house as well as a restaurant, the second .floor of the building, a rnmshaelfle .frame affair, was occupied by eight hpersons at the time the flro wns discovered. These, four women, three men and n little girl, were rescued by Alonsto Hoffman, a boarder at the Queen's hotel, across the street, who stood on the awning bars of the chop house and swung the occupants ut llie building to the waiting crowd beneath. Thc first Intimation of'the blai.etlml origloated ln the kitchen of the restau rant was when J. A. Young, a Saskatoon man, and one of Hie roomers, was awakened ntj:25, choking with smoke, Leaping from1 his bed he groped lilu way to the door of Ihe bedroom thai he wus occupying with his wife. On opening ll, a gush of acrid smoke surged in and beyond it Young could see a wall of flame. , Slumming to the door he rushed to the window nnd throwing up the sitsli yelled'"Fire." The cry was heard by Constable Alderson, who wus palrpling his beat, and an nlarm was rung In. The response of the Saskatoon fire department was ono of the quickest in its record. Despite, thc hold the flames had on the building and the start they ,had gained, thc blaze was under control within 15 minutes and within little more than an hour was entirely out. . As soon as he had pulled the box Constable Alderson returned to the burning building nnd helped Hoffman in. his work of rescuing the Inmates or the second floor, who made their escape through .the street windows, after having been awakened by Young's cries. » EXCURSIONS Re'.u'it Fans inn KnotMiy fiinti ____1tO: '-':■' .jj Winnipeg .;.. !.'..'.^....l e6;w St. Paul 00.00 Chicago '.. 1lM Toronto DUO, Montreal 105.00 Halifax '....: 121.28 New York .., 108.M Boston 110.00, Correspondingly low farea th many other-points.

Mr. Veregin went un to my that the3e thousand people who hail broken aW iy from their faith In SasliuU'heivan were now living scattered throughout the country and llmt they had nothing more to do with the Doukliobor proper settlements. The commissioner—The government gave those vwho broke away certain grnnts of land, and in return tliev tooK the oath of ullegldnc^ did they not? ' Mr. Vereghi—i'es.they did, and this What caused ns. to force these lo leave our settlement. They are Degenerates. He Says. \ The Commissioner—Then it amounts to this, that of the whole huily of DuUKhu- bors in tne Dominion l,WW inauo u sacrifice of their religious scruples and lain for the bribe of luO acres hud up to'thVurl by tne government.' Do you know as to1 how tin* those who 'bioke away from the main boay 'conform In regard to the keeping up of their religious exercises ' Mr. v'ort'gln—They do not contorm t them at all; they are drunkards, _nl meat and are generally degenerated. A number of the wojneu have married English speuklug men. The commissioner— Do you know if there are any Doukhobors lu British Columbia who are naturalized and conform to the laws. Mr. Veregin replied that there we*e some but. that they came from, Suakat* Chowan. ' ' <"•* ■ Why They Travelled -Naked. When asked why the group which caused the tumble in Saskatchewan some time ago by going on a nuked pilgrimage did so, he -laid that they.did,this hecaus-j they were all worked up over the trouble with the government, and . were discouraged because of ithe* bdd land'-give-li them 'by the government, and when usk-. ed wny they hud' n«vcr done anything of the kind In Xtussla, where there was also groat trouble with the government, he said that there they wero confined to a limited area and could not wander about, while here they had plenty of room, and when the trouble came they Went on a pilgrimage to teach the religion of God. The reason they ,,weut nuked was beeauso thefr* believed that, since man was horn nuked, God Intended that he. should so jutnaiii, and the only way to Sees ChristMfroB in his primitive dress. , . The commissioner—&o far two reasons haveDceii given for'not complying-w«n* the laws of registration, namely,., religious scruples, and the uiidcrstundlnu. that as long as they did not become citizens th'ey were not compelled to obey them, and 1 now want to know the nature oT tho religious siruples which prevent yoiK from complying with these laws. * Citizens of the 'World. Mr. Veregln—We are perfectly willing to furnish nil the Information necessary for census purposes, but the fact that In Russia the registration of births furnished Information to the government enabling tliem to know the number of men available for military service which was against our creed, caused this objection to registration to be embodied :n our code. Regarding marriage registration we consider these things strictly personal and should not be made public. We want our people to be citizens ut tlie world and not registered on tlie books of any country. Regarding burial certificates and registration of deaths, w. do not see why government officials should Interfere In any manner iu the case of death und it Ib la our faith, that when a person dies he shall be buried win mul record of any kind. There Is another reason besides religious leasons, however, and that Is that Wc are a people striving to get along with us llttlo expense as possible nnd object to the registration as it entails considerable cost*. The commissioner—Then you slate that ono of your reasons for not registering births is that you will furnish Infornvi- tlon to the government as to the number of men available for mllltnry service? Mr, Veregln—Yes. Fears Compulsary Military Service- The commissioner—Arc. you aware then that your argument Is of no. avail at present since there is no compulsory military service in the Dominion? Mr. VereKln—Yes, but I have heal-l that there is a possibility of .establishing compulsory service In Canada and we have no guarantee that It will not be established. The com iu iss Ion er—Your other stand, tlien. Is that the registration, of births, deaths and marriages is a pcn-onnl mutter, sacred In the minds of your people, and they will brook no Interference? iMi\ Veregln-Yes. Knows No Reason for Law. Ho was then nRUed if 'be knew th? British law required these registration?. and he replied that he did not. The com miss loner told' him ' that tb" registration was compulsory In order that the government could kee,p. track of the neonle and .protect, the community. Tills method vrns absolutely necessary in order to keep'the mortality against Infants down,. since without registration tliev would hot kno\Y, tf. it were increasing or decreasing, nnd being In tho dark as to- the conditions Would he powerless to cope with this Infant mortality, one of the greatest problems of thi- i^f.

' Mr. Veregln was asked to explain their marriage ceremony which he did o(s folldjvs: ', When two persons, wish to be nthrried, the man goes to the parents of the girl and asks if they may be married. The parents of both talk over the matter and If they decide lhat it is for the best that these two become married, a meeting of the community Ib called, and the people are advised that they are going: to be married and a date is fixed when they are to begin, living together. This constitutes the ceremony and when the- time nppolnted arrives, the two young people commence living together, as. man. and. wife. There are no records of any kind kept as the Doukhobors have no written laws but this custom has been handed down from*' generation to generation. The Russian government objected to this form ofmarriago but there was no particular trouble caused by it. Separate When They So Desire, Mr. Veregln said that as a genernl rule tlie Doukhobors hud few cases of separation,' but that whenever it happened that two people decided they could not get along together they mutually separated and that constituted, their divorce. The community, however, did not recognize any second marriage of divorced people. Ho said that the age for marrying was between 17 and III years, that they believed in having large families and It was a law of their life not to prevent child bearing. Mr. Vei;egln said thnt he wus a great friend of'Count Tolstoi; that he had met him nfter returning from imprisonment in Siberia and that the religion of the Doukhobors was practical- ly the same as that Tolstoi believed in. N Thoy believed in giving their children a good common education but did not believe in higher education, believing that this led to degeneration of the race. tho'^mvenm'i'.'Tit should do ft.

It is easily obtained, and easily manipulated1, It puts tho fair sex on an equality with men far moro effectively than a vote,.' Brute force is powerless against^the tiny weapon of madame when sho takes cool aim. The drames passlonnels of each duy abundantly prove that the ladies are quite as good at a target as the gendarmes, who besieged the anarchist bandits. As an article of commerce, the revolver is in fayor, and as the authorities think that everything Is for thc best, no doubt women und children will continue to find every facility for purchasing the deadly and fascinating weapon. To meet the public demand guns are made to suit tbe humblest of purses, A boy put a bullet through the head of a play-fellow the other day; ho got his revolver for a couple of francs. The 16-year-old good-for- nothing, who shot the gendarme this week from pure wanton savagery, pur chased his weapon for six frnncs. t gqod many people think that the mov ing picture shows are much to blame In popularizing crimes. Provincial mayors are apparently of that opinion and many of them have announced thnt they will not allow such shows in their towns and communes. %%l PAGE THREE From Factory to Purchaser That's just exactly the meaning of our great boat sale.

SATURDAY, AUGUST. 31 AN EXTRAORDINARY PROPOSAL. A most remarkable dispatch came over the wires last evening to the ■effect that certain descendants of tho old French seigneurs in Quebec have come to the conclusion that they havo a grievance against the British government on account of dispossession of certain lands of their forefathers and that they are going to appeal to the United States government for assistance In having their alleged Wrongs righted. With the information at hand It Is impossible to say what foundation there may be for thc claims whicii have been advanced. But whatever there may be, nothing could justify an appeal such as it Is -said is to be made to a foreign power for support. By remaining in Cnnndo after tbe con quest the forefathers of the present claimants became British subjects. As such their descendants have tbe same rights and are accorded the measure of justice in the courts ns Is meted out to their fellow Canadians. The gentlemen in question will make a very serious mistake, not only from their own standpoint hut also from that of Canada as a whole, if they attempt any such course as ll Is said they are likely to adopi. MR. BORDEN RETURNS. ( Premier Borden is now on his homeward trip, nfter his first visit to the Old Country since his accession to of* flee. It is generally agreed that no colonial statesman hns ever received quite so hearty a reception In the Mother Country as has Mr. Borden and no colonial statesman has ever shown a finer discernment of tho du ties of his position and the dignity of his office than has Mr. Borden on this occasion. The principal interest lh connection with Mr. Borden's visit centered in his consultations with the British Admiralty In order that he and his colleagues might become fully informed as to the najval situation with a view to the adoption by Canada of n policy that would bc most in the interests of the Empire. Just what views Mr. Borden l bringing back to Canada on this sufc ject nnd just what will be Canada'." naval policy is unknown and will remain unknown until tlio Dominion cabinet has had an opportunity of passing upon the matter. But this much is known, that throughout his visit, Mr. Borden In his various public utterances struck a high imperial note and it can be confidently expected that when the naval policy of his government is an nounced It will be in keeping there with.

England and Japan Said to Have Made Agreement. (By Daily News Leased WlreA PEKING, Aug. 30.—Events of supreme international importamce havo taken place seriously affecting China's future and justifying a belief that the partition of China Is nearer than it has ever 'been before. The matter Is of intense interest to America, Involving, as it does, the abandonment of the John Hay principle of tho territorial integrity of China and the re- ostabllshment of the rogimc of spheres of Influence, which means shutting the open door. Recently China has been endeavoring militarily to recover Tibet, which, when the Manchu dynasty was overthrown, declared Its Independence. Even now nn army Is advancing Into that province for the purpose of asserting nnd establishing the authority of the republic, but Great Britain how formally Informs China that she will not permit any- expedition Into Tibet from any quarter. The Indian frontier is also closed as n route for any Chinese troops, Chinese agents or Chinese money. China has been plnnning sending a pence- maker through India to tne Uclal Lama, but Britain prohibits the presence of Chinese officials in Tibet. This simply means thnt Tll>e*t is Independent through British compulsion, but England admits Chinese sover- olgly in the province. : Russia has almost simultaneously and perhaps by arrangement with England, told China she will not permit any expedition to Mongolia. The Russian demand, that the northwestern expedition be abandoned Indicates clearly that Mongolia is absolutely gone, * . The Chinese are exceedingly agitated. Realizing that they are facing tho actual loss of their tremendous dependencies, they have asked the Germans and French their intentions' In Shan Tung and Yun Nan, respectively. The present disturbing developments accompany a reliable report that England. |tussiji. ^and ^Japan,; recently reached'a general agreement. At all 'events it Is certain that Russia and Jnpan did so and the Chinese feel that Japan will move forward soon.

Old age pays the cost of living. Few men'and women of fifty, sixty and seventy are free of Kidney Trouble, Hard work, mental strain and general debility, tell in the long run. Andmanymen and women show they have Kidney Trouble by suffering with pain in the back, headaches, rheumatism, sciatica, bladder disease. To such people "Fruit-a-tives" has proved one of the wonders of the age-r-and the most remarkable discovery of the century in modern medical science. This fruit medicine has performed hundreds of cures where the sufferer had been told that the case was Incurable. > Take, for instance, Mr. Geo. W.' Bark'ley, a prosperous farmer and one of the leading citizens of Dundas County, Ontario. . At seventy-six, he is the picture of health—with the vigorous actions and the sprightly step of a man of fifty. Yet for twenty years, he suffered with Kidney Trouble.

C, Aug. M.-Tne business men of RevelBtoke to the number of 30 have formed a flying squadron, and left on Wednesday by the steamer Rewelstoke on a trip round the Arrow lakes. They will stop off at various points en route. The object of this trip Is to boost for tbe forthcoming Revelstoke Agricultural association fall fair and races. Dr Rowe, publicity commissioner of the Vancouver Progress club, addressed a crowded meeting In Selkirk hall on Monday evening last. The main object of the address was to explain the steps being taken to advertise the resources NERV0USBREAKD0WN Usually Due to Overwork and Worry— A Tonic is Needed. Overwork and worry give rise to nervousness, sleeplessness, headaches, lack of ambition and lack of interest In your work, weak back, indigestion and sometimes a complete, breakdown of the nervous system. On every hand you find victims of this kind and often they do not know what to do for themselves. If these _r& your'symptoms you need a tonic, and the only way to tone up Ihe nerves Is through the blood. Dr. Williams' Plhk Pills aro a direct nerve tonic because they enrich and build up tha bldofl. and it is through the blood that the nerves are fed. Under their tonic Influence nervousness, with all its attendant evils, disappear, and the worriea sufferer again enjoys health and "strength. Proof of Ihe value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in nervous troubles Is given by Mrs. Lara Scheving, Lumdar, Man., who says:—"i was attacked with nervous trouble which almost drove mc to distraction. It would be almost impossible for words to describe my condition. The least thing would startle mo and leave mo trembling for an hour. I had nervous headaches, and slept very badly nt nights, some nights not at all. My appetite grew poor and I was really a physical wreck. I had been to several doctors and taken many different medicines, but without any benefit. Thon I read of a case similar cured by the use of Dr. Williams' pink Pills, and I sent for a dozen boxes fully believing It would take at least that many to cure me. You can judge of my gratitude, however, when I found that after using only half a dozen boxes I Was again enjoying thc best of health, and have since remained well and strong.. I used the remainder of the pills among my children when they seemed out of sorts, nnd have found them at all-times to be the very best of family medicines." > ■ i ■" You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in me-ilclne* or by mall at B0 cents a box or six* boxes for ?2.B0/from the Dr. Williams* Medicine Co., Brockvlile, Out.

ICIcctrtc lights and moving pictures are unfriendly to him. Has vertiele wrinkles. Has excellent distant vision. Memory Is fair. General appearance good. Has no kick on his health. ■That is enough. No further Information is necessary to me unless I am to fix him up. Ile has severe spasm of the nccomldntlon. Has used reading glasses for three years; yet Is more tljan leu years below the lowest limit of pryshyopfa (old sight). This proves absolutely that one of two conditions exist. Ho Is awakening from the drain of a moderate error nnd nearing the point where he CAN have a kick on his health, or he has an error of such a hjgb degree that no normal supply of energy at his age can overcome ft with comfort nt near points, or with continued comfort and safety at any distance. •But that is not all, He has another kick coming.

As u contrast to this one might mention that the tonally superb orgnii of St. Sulpice, Purls, although entirely rebuilt by Cavalllo-Coll ns late as 1005, Is blown by the old- fashioned treading system, six men being' needed for this ordeal, whenever M. Widor wishes to perform on tlie Instrument! In discussing this matter with a leading French organ builder, he defended the "unfailing" system of SI Sulpice because of the "treacherous behavior of electrical and hydraulic motors." The treading system certain- Iv has the advantage claimed for it by the champion of the St, Sulpice blowing equipment; provided tbe suuail of sis men may not sometime go out on strike or Indulge top copiously In absinthe some fine morning on Ihe wny to church A fllje organ .wiis heard1 during our slav-in Zurich, tho commercial capital of Switzerland, in u recital given by a prominent organist of the city he Orossmuusler church.

Zurich in particular Is well known outside of Switzerland ns < of tho mosl active choral centres he world. I was informed, on good authority, that Zurich, which Is a prosperous nml lianiisnmoclty of but UflO.- Ofio Inhabitants, supports 10 men's and eight mixed Hint-uses, nil of whom pr pare for and give regular concerts; Surely this constitutor a record. Zurich possesses a magnificent concert ball, the foyer ot which contains *> fine bronze statue,of the late Fred erlck Hegar, lhc eminent composer of music for men's choirs.

Under Hegar tho city sained a mosl enviable reputation choral centre. ;i reputation whieh It hns 'since- mainliiliicd, so far at least the riiiniilliy of its choral work Is con* eerned.

In no cotitilry in Ibe World flhes there appear to ho a more general Inlerost in chorn 1 sitiu'ing than In (iertntin ■Switzerland. During a 10 >days' so- Inurn ill Woi'si'ii, \ delightful mountain resort of Lake Walenstadt, 1 Was much interested In the singing ot a number of rural choral societies, who visited the place on a Sunday afternoon. The sincerity of their etl'orts and the remarkably serious und high quality of some of the music they sing, toned for many artistic shortcomings and tonal crudities, which might huv« been objected to by super-sensitive hearers. , Taken all in all, however, Swiss musical, life seems to lean too much, us in Wales, towards choral music to the exclusion nf a reasonably general and serious attention to instrumental culture." It is truo that the Swiss are not as one-sided as the Welsh In their musical life, for one must not forget Ihnt many fine Instrumentalists ure natives of Switzerland, some of whom hiive been prepared at sueh excellent Schools of music lis the Conservatories of Zurich,' Geneva or Berne. One might mention in this connection the Flonznley quartette, most of the members of whlca ure Swiss. Novertne- less Instrumental music does not outer us largely into thc life of the people of this fortunate republic its 11 do- serves to. Not by any meana as much as In Oermun Austria or in Bohemia, which sent to Paris the splendid choir of men's voices from Prague, wtio exemplified In the artistic subtleties of their singing the influence of much broader musical atmosphere than that which dominates In this music-loving and beautiful country. A. S. VOtlT Weefion, Swilzerland, June 111, 1012. MUSIC BUILDS CHARACTER Good music Is a powerful tonic many people, especially those suffering from melancholia. It lifts them out of their solemn moods, dispels gloom and despondency, kills discouraged feelings and gives now hope, new life, and new vigor. H seems to put a great many people Into proper tune. It gives then the key-note of truth and beauty strikes the chords of harmony, dispel; discord from the life, scatters clouds ainl brings sunshine All good innsle Is a character builder because Ils constant suggestion of hiir tnony, order iind beauty puts tho mini Into a normal altitude. Music clean lho cobwebs out of many minds, so llmt they can think bettor, act better nnd live hotter. Some writers are de pendent upon nuisle for tholr inspirit tion and their moods.

Good music seems to give us a totic] of the divine, and to put us in conlac with divinity. it drives out evil thoughts, making us ashamed of them It lifts us above potty annoyances ami little worries of life and gives us a glimpse of the ideal which tho actual Is constantly obscuring.—Orison Swell Mnrden, In Success Magazine, A Beautiful Display of ike Most Stylish, Up-to-Date Suits.

I was never able to cook roasts and fowl so well on our old stove, and as for bread and biscuits, I used to tremble when I went to take them from the oven—they were so often soggy and heavy.

When a duke, lord, baron, knight or someone else buys up a big tract of land from the government for a song and then proceeds to people it with the victims of the labor market of the old country or Russia, at a price that will insure a steady job for the rest of their lives, that's called "business." If the government itself were to survey, clenr and make ready for home- deads that same piece of land, and Incite and assist homeseekers to go upon It, that would be called "paternalism."

MONEY WAS FOR PENROSE CAMPAIGN William Randolph Hearst Declares Archbold Chief Corruptionist— Sayi. Penrose Lied. (By Dally Newa Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—In a cable from London to his newspaper, the New York American, William Randolph Hearst says: "The people'of the United States should ask their representative in the senate a few direct and pertinent questions. Why was no attempt made by the United States senate to probe actual and established Standard Oil bribery ond corruption? Why was not Mr. Archbold properly cross-examined on his testimony, and why was not the evidence Inculpating government officials and incriminating both political parties fearlessly brought out? "Why was not Mr. Archbold asked to produce documents to establish lie truth of his testimony when the senate knew perfectly well that documents are not lacking to estahlisi* whatever Is true In this Standard OU consnfracy?" "Why-wos Mr, Archbold allowed lo leave the country when he had giver only immaterial, inconaeuentlal and largely untruthful testimony and when <-,) should have been held, not. only n- the main witness, but as the chief corruntionlst? "Why.wore not Senator Penrose an'1 other culpable United States senator^ investigated as to their actual guilt in this so-called Standard OH Investigation by the senate? "Why was Senator Penrose nni nuked to oroduce some proof in his defense when the accusations agalns' him were based upon documentary cvf. dence and absolute legal proof? "Why were tbe empty assertions of Senator Penrose, confessed corruption' 1st, accepted without question and no opportunity given the victims of Sen sitor Penrose's ultack to reply to his assertions? No Confidpnee In Roosevelt, "I am not dWpartlsan of Mr. Roosevelt. As a matter of fact, I have neither confidence In nor admiration for Mr. Roosevelt. When I wus battling ln 1906 for exactly the same principles which Mr. Roosevelt has at last appropriated In his party program, Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Root, Tweed's agent and his, went into the New York state fight to attack me and to compass the de* feat of tliefprinciples for which I stood, "Air: Roosevelt has since denounced Mr. Root as a corruptlonlst, -which he is, and was then. Mr.' Rtfosevelt has since pronounced my program right, which it Is and was then, But Mr. Roosevelt did not feel that Mr. Root was a corruptlonlst until Sfr.'Koot opposed him and Mr. Roosevelt did nol realize that the progressive program was right until he saw where he coulf benefit by the popular senUment whleh has been aroused in its support. When I and my publications were sustaining the assaults of-privileged Interests for interfering With their control of the people's government, we had ustain also the assaults of' Mr Root and Mr. Roosevelt. When I and my publications were denounced as yellow., by a,chorus of corrupt politicians, and criminal corporations, that chorus was swelled by the mellow voices of Mr. Root and Mr. Roosevelt attuned to harmonious accord. But now lhat the principles we advocated and the reforms that we urged have become generally approved and accepted by Mr. Roosevelt, who was Ihe main opponent, he poses pharisaically as their champion, I am nQt, therefore, unduly prejudiced ln Mr Roosevelt's favor, but the truth in this Standard Oil conspiracy Is not n question of favor, but a question of fact. "I am, not engaged In defending Mr. Roosevelt personally, and I shall later print letters which will npt particularly please Mr. Roosevelt, but I am engaged In giving the American people the exact facts in regard to the'political cor rupllon with which they are oppressed. "If 'Senator Penrose stated that the HE SAID—"Tliis salt is nice and dry. Yesterday the salt was so " damp that we couldn't get it out of the shakers. Did you put it in - the oven and dry it ?" SHE SAID—"No. This is "REGAL", made from WINDSOR '. SALT. Our grocer told me about it. He said it would stay dry and ' free running at all seasons of the year/' . HE SAID—"He is right. This certainly is a damp day and this new salt is perfectly dry." SHE SAID—"And this REGAL SALT comes in nice, clean wood- fibre cartons, coated with paraffin. That protects the salt from dust, dirt, moisture and odors—which affect salt put up in bags. I certainly do like Windsor Regal Salt—and I like our grocer for telling me about it."- WINDSOR "REGAL" SALT ALWAYS DRY-ALWAYS FREE RUNNING A Trial Means Conviction-Every Time $2ii,000 sent him by Mr. Archbold wns for Mr, Roosevelt nnd not for himself, he stated what was not true. 1 have waited several days for Senator I 'on- rose to teli the truth, but he is apparently unwilling to do so, nnd I am going to tell the truth for him as I promised to.do. ''The $25,6(10-.sent Senator Penrose In a secret certificate of deposit by Mr. Archbold was for Senator Penrose's own use in his personal Pennsylvania campaign. Senator Penrose acknowledged . receipt of thc $25.(100 certificate of deposit and referred specifically to Mr. Archbold's letter of October 13, in which tbe certificate was enclosed. Furthermore, .Senator Penrose signed the acknowledgment as commissioner of the stale committee and wrote in doing so upon thc official stationery- of the Pennsylvania state committee. "Other Standard Oil ennirlhutton--- were solicited and employed by other commissioners in the campaign of 100-1; But. this particular certificate of do- posit was secured by Senator Penrose for his own use In his own state and I have tho documents to prove this.

BASTON, Pa., Aug. 30.-—Governor Woodrow WllSon invaded Pennsylvania yesterday," intending only to mako an address at the state grangers' picnic at Williams grove, south of Harrisbifrg. The governor was surrounded by auch big crowds wherever his train stopped that he found when ho crossed from Pennsylvania into New Jersey at Boston last night that he had made half a dozen speeches, had shaken hands with thousands of people and had talked collectively to. a multitude of people tn a single day. It was the Opening of the campaign outside of New Jersey and the day's events were plainly a surprise to the governor. He had looked for no demonstrations, a? his train plana were not decided upon until the last moment, hut from early morning until nightfall the crowds gathered at the railroad stations and cheered enthusiastically. The governor In all rode 21G miles In Pennsylvania, and when night came he was tired and hoarse. At Lancaster, Har- rlsburg, Williams Grove, Reading, AI- lentown and Easton great crowds jammed the railroad yards and the governor competed In his talks with tho noise of locomotives and trains. "The railways always interfere with politics,'' said the governor as an engine thundered by while he was talking at Reading. Several thousand people wedged themselves In the big auditorium ai WIllla'mB Grove to hear the governor. but a far greater number was unable to get In and the governor made a second speech outdoors. The governor -digressed materially from his prepared speech, but developed much the same line of thought. Criticizing Mr. Roosevelt's tariff views and President Taft's Veto* of the farmers* free list bill, he referred indirectly to political conditions In Pennsylvania as outlined by Representative Mitchell Palmer, who introduced the governor and spoke of the Penrose revelations, MAP TRAVELLER CHARGED WITH FALSE PRETENSES WINNIPEG, Aug. 30.—Earl A.

The minister stated that it was essen lial that the farmers of the prairie provinces secure private barns to house their crops this year. He said that in other years a large quantity of grain had been ruined through the farmers not providing shelter until the railways could handle It, and that he was certain this would be the case this your if the farmers do not take immediate precautions to prevent a recurrence of such losses, "Reports show," said Mr, Foster, "that the crop in the west this yen; will be n bumper one. The only thlfig required to make n new wheat recort for jCannda Is favorable weather. As this Is anticipated by western authorities It will menn that there will 1>r more wheat harvested this yenr than In nny previous ypar. Of 'course, I Ik farmers have the shortage of laborer." to contend with, but our Informntion Is to tbo effect that this will not prove dlsustruus unless heavy rains set In during the harvest/' Tho main trouble, according to the minister, would be the difficulty experienced by the rnilwnys In moving the crops and ln carrying tho grain to the elevators.

C, BAR EULOGIZES BULLOCK-WEBSTER Nelson Lawyer Presented With Handsome Gold Watch—Friends Express Regret at Departure. "I only hope that he 'will make as good a lawyer as he has magistrate and a law clerk. I was never afraid to go before him with a weak case or a strong one; If ll bad a strong case I won and if I had a weak one lie con- sideredNill 1 had to say. And I can say now that during the years that I have practiced before Mr, Bullock- Webster on the bench 1 have never had to quarrel with his decisions. The reason for this Is thut he has been absolutely square, without prejudice, without bias—that Is why he was a. success as a policeman, as a magistrate." * to this effect A. M, Johnson yesterday afternoon expressed the opinion of the members of the legal profession in Nelson of w. H, Bullock-Webster, who was presented with a handsome gold watch hy tbe Nelson Bar ussn- elation as a mark of their esteem oft the occasion of his approaching departure for Victoria where he will engage In the practice of law in partnership with Oscar C. Buss. Mr. Bullock-Webster will leave for the capltaj this evening. Others taking part In the presentation were S, P. Tuck, sheriff of Squth Kootenay, nnd R. A Winenrls, deputy registrar of the supreme and county courts. Members of the Bar association present were K. A. Crease, president; Fred C. Mof- rutt. secretary; G, R. Hamilton, K. C, A. M. Johnson, T. M. Bowman, registrar of the supreme and county courts; James O'Shea und J. S. Mnckay. Rev. Fred H. Graham, Sheriff Tuck and Mr. Winenrls were also present. Mr. Crease spoke of Mr. Bullock- Webster as a very old friend and feelingly expressed his regret al his approaching departure rrom Nelson, He hail been struck by bis remarkable ability when tie had first met hlin In 1807. This first impression had been strengthened hy his later acquaintanceship with Mr. Bullock-Webster as chief constable at Nelflpa and as a law student In his office. His departure would be a distinct loss to Nehton and the district. Tlie members of the profession hud had the good fortni tn see him admitted to the bar and he did not think that the Nelson association, ninong. all Its good men, had ever hail a better one, Mr. Mcffatt Makes Presentation 1 n muklng the presentation Mr. Moffatt said that the gift was a token of the great esteem in which Mr. Bui- lock-Webster was held and a murk of the deep regret which was fell at bis departure, (ror the members of tbe hur and the others associated in the presentation he wished Mr. Bullock- Webster continued success. In reply Mr. Bullock-Webster said that he would like to express publicly bis deep appreciation or the manner in which he had been treated by Mr. Crease who -hud taken him inta his offire us a law student and had shown sueh confidence In hlin that he had given tilm his unlimited power nf at- torney. He thanked all the member*! of the bar for the munnef in which they had assisted him during the )»ast five years. He had never been afraid to go bo any 'one of (hem for advice anil had been able to give some slight recompense on account of l" knowl- dge of criminal law. He was not going to Victoria be cause he had made his pile In Nelson but fur the education of his children which he believed could be best accomplished al the capital. Oscar Buss, with whom he bad formed a partnership, ho had first met In New Westminster 'In 1SG7 when he, Mi- Bass, was acting as court stenographer. Mr. Buss had afterwards entered the attorney-general's office where he was articled. "I think tt was through Mr; Rnss that Joe Martin did not fire me as he did many members of the civil service. Mr. Bass, I think, •O^l <C£ Kellogg's is the flaked sweet hearts of the finest corn that grows. Such corn, of course, costs us more to use. Its product, however costs you no more than ordinary cereals do. But think how much it adds to your enjoyment' of the flavor TOMTED| CORK! lOcPwr.I must Wve told him that l was" Box a bad as the rest of tlie civil service." No Money in Criminals. Speaking of Mr. Bullock-Webster's future us a crlmlnul lawyer Mr. John-! son expressed the opinion that, while1 there was not what he called a first-j class, high-grade criminal lawyer British Columbia, there was no money In that portion of the legal business in British Columbia. "Ninety-nine times out of n hundred the police have the right man and 99.9B per cant of criminals in this province have no money. But perhaps Mr. Bullock- Webster will find a hetter class of criminal in Victoria," he said. Sheriff Tuck spoke of his 14 years' friendship with Mr. I hillock-Webster and wished him all success* at Victoria'. The eccaslpn was one for congratulation as -well as for regret, said Mr*. Hamilton. It was one tor congratulation because Mr.- Mullock-Webster had been admitted to the„bar nnd for regret because he hud left the hencM and was leaving Nelson. He had c very great and sincere regard for Mr Bullock-Webster and winked him al success and happiness. No Fear for Gun-Men. If he was as good and as brilliant a lawyer ns he hud been a magistrate und a law student there would he nothing to complain of, suid Mr. O'Shea who expressed his conviction thai Mr. Bullock-Webster had a greuti future. Messrs, Muckay, Bowman, Winenrls and Graham also expressed their esteem for Mr. Bullock-Welister and their regret that he was leaving Nelson. "I first heard of him n 1891 when be was at Osnoyos," said Mr. Wn- earls. "He had a. reputation at that time of caring nothing for a gunman. They used to say that he'd walk up to a man with a gun, take it nway from him and heftt him over the head with ft. Anyway he had the Amerl cans down there behaving very well."'

Miss Ethel Tucker's portrayni "Queenn" at the opera liouse lust night In tlie drama of that name wus a -dramatic treat of tlie highest order. In the third act Inst night Miss Tucker bad ample opportunity to display her talents as an emotional actress of the hlgho-" type, and the leading lady's rendition i a most difficult part was a very finished piece of acting indeed that would huvi' been a credit to leading actresses of lhc American stage with long sustained reputations.

One play there Is which seems destined to live ■ as long as the language lasts, This Is Washington Irvlng's beautiful story of "Rln Van Winkle." In every English spending country this famous piny has heen revived again and again and always with the most triumphant succosb. The ■children, the older folks us well as tlie indnit and press has ever pronounced "ItliiVnn Winkle" one of Ibe niosttbeautlful atolios of which the stage can boast.
