Arthur, nppolnled delegate from tho Nelson seliool board to the annual convention or tho provincial school trustees at Kamloops this week, was p. question which aroused a wide difference of opinion at a meeting of the local-trustees on Saturday morning. Dr. Arthur wanted $U0 for the trip, which would occupy about six days, and declared that he would not accept less; William Irvine first suggested that *76 be the amount und Inter reduced the sum Lo ■JRO with the proviso that the doctor should return the balance If the trip did not cost ns much, and Dr. Annie Verth Jones and \V. J. Labadle refuted to accede to paying moro than ?3.2fi or $3.50 per day and transportation. "It's no good prolonging this. I'll get $60 or not go," was Dr. Arthur's assertion, which practically closed the discussion, no motion being passed. Dr. Arthttr Introduced the matter by stating that thc accounts and payroll for the,month, which thei board had met to consider, had not heen totalled up because thc sum to be devoted to his expenses to Kamloops hnd not boon specified.

LONDON, Sepl. 22.—The practical division of tVrslu between Groat Britain and Russia appears almost assured as a result of thc conferences Minister Snzonoff of Russia had jnlth British statesmen. All the newspapers which arc In tho closest touch with tbe foreign office particularly the Times, looked upon recently as Sir Edwai'd firoys" mouthpiece, are forecasting this arrangement and apparently preparing tlio pultlle mind for ft. The necessity of preserving order in thc Interests of trade Is the principal reason advanced. The Manchester Gunrdiau'una other Libera! papers oppose the project bitterly.

John Baptist Crazier, primate of all Ireland, of the Church of; England, who had designated Sunday and tho week following Including! "Ulster day" us "days for special In-, tercesslon and prayer on behalf of our beloved native land," sermons were preached making particular reference to the solemn covenant. In many cases the national anthem was sung. Exceptionally large congregations attended the Protestant churches In Belfast and Londorderry. Great fervor Was displayed and strong denunciations of the government from the pulpit wero heard. The Bishop of Perry preaching in Derry cathedral, exhorted his hearers not to submit tamely "to bo sold like brutes In the cattlo market by men who received in return seventy venal nud dishonest voles." Formai Defiance. (By Bally Newa Leased Wiro.) LONDON, Sept. 22.—On Saturday, Sopt. 2S, the Unionists of the northern counties of Ireland propose to register their formal defiance of home rule. Gathering in halls and market places, even in churches, lhe men Ulster will sign a covenant pledging themselves never to submit to nny government from Dublin which may be imposed upon the country by . the Astt'uitli-Redmond homo rule, bill passed In the liouse of commons. "Ulster day" is the designation chosen foi* ihln remarkable political sacrament. According to its promoters, it will prove a show of determination so,solemn and Impressive that the British cabinet will hesitate long before attempting to enforce Its scheme for partial separation of Ireland from lho United Kingdom, No one can tell just how far the warlike movement has gone. Home rulers treat It with ridicule. Members of parliament like Sir Edward Carson, who is an Irishman and P. E. Smith, one of the moat conspicuous of tho younger Conservatives who Is not an Irishman, havo made speeches in parliament and outside, announcing freely that Ulster will never recognise a home rule government and urging the people to resist it. Henoo some of their opponents have called upon tho government to take proceed Ings against them for Inciting to break the law. Tliey have taunted the authorities wilh being afraid to deal with those important politicians they did with the labor leader, Tom Mann, who had a term In prison for urging dock strikers to violence. But the cases of Carson and Smith pre* sent a barrier to prosecution, or n lopholo for evading tt. The homo rule bill has not becomo law and the question nrises whether people may lie dealt with for preparing to resist proposals which havo not yet attained the final stage, of law and mny never attain it. Sir Edwnrd Carson and P. E. Smith will the the first to write their names on the covenant in Belfast city hall, where the largest assemblage is expected. How many names will appear on this unique declaration of Independence Is a subject of newspaper contention. Predictions of Ulster enthusiasts range from half a million to a million, but less spacious minds point out tiiat lho number of non- Catholic males In all Ulster Is only 30,000. Presbyterian Manifesto. The Belfast corporation has recommended all employers to give Saturday to their men as a "day of rest." The governing bodies of the Presbyterian church have issued a manifesto declaring thnt thc homo rule bill threatens religious freedom, and setting npart tlie day as ono for worship nnd prayer. The covenant is to be signed on the stops of the Belfast cathedral and religious services will be held there as well as in many Presbyterian, Mothodlst and Church of Ireland plnces of worship in Ulster cities and towns. Women Will Demonstrate. Unionist women have foVmulatcd n draft of declaration for members of tbelr sex to sign nnd arc preparing a demonstration to lake ptaoo .with thoso by the men. In sohio smnller cities,- notably Londonderry, and Dro- gheda, the men will assemble In the market place and tho women ln tents. Ab a curtain raiser for tbo Bolfast day thoro wlll be a local rally on Friday night whon Sir Edward Carson, Lord Charles Beresford- and other noble men and members'of parliament will' exhort the people to resistance. Home Rulers Object, Home -rulers object to calling the threatened rebellion the Ulster movement, While practically all the Insurgents are Ulster men, all Ulster men are not opposed to home rule. Two- fifths of the people roughly spenkin1' are Catholics. The division Is <.-■*,*^ only a religious one but racial. Neil .y all the Protestant Unionists are of Scotch blood. The home rulers stigmatize the movement as one entirely by the Orange society. Tiie Ulster faction which refuses to recognize any Irish parliament insists that home rule would really be rule by the society of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. It would moan also, they say, that Belfust, the richest city of Ireland, would pay most for the support of government it never could dominate. Exciting Day. The signing of the covenant may prove the prelude to a groat rebellion, or it may be a flash in tho pan, Two years at best must elapse beforo home rule can begin to be established because the house of lords can hold up the bill for that time. The present drift of political feeling indicates that thc Liberal party may go out of office within that period. Ulster day, however, may be an exciting occasion. Great political meetings in Belfast seldom pass without collisions between the Orangemen and Hibernians. Winston Churchill escaped being mobbed when he addressed a homo rule rally there this summer only through strong police protection with soldiers In reserve. Victory or Death. /By Dal'y News Leased Wire.) DUBLIN, Sept. 22.™Phoenix park was the scone today of a disorderly suffragette mooting.

PIPE NATURAL GAS TO WINNIPEG Will Be Conveyed Six Hundred and Fifty Miles From Medicine Hat. (By Dnlly News Leased Wire.) CALGAKi', Sept. 22.—"The sale of natural gas having its origin in this province, to the rosldonts of cities of another province can not bo prevented. It Is u resource thnt belongs to lhe whole Dominion of Canada. The people of British Columbia might as well attempt to prevent tho sale of coal mined In their province to the people of Alberta." That is the way William Georgeson, bead of the syndicate which would engage in the big undertaking of piping tho natural gas of Medicine Hat lo Winnipeg, dismissed lho suggestion of a local newspaper that something in the nature of an embargo be put oii'*| tlie enterprise. "The only statement lhat I have to make in connection with what we purpose' doing," said Mr. Georgeson. "is that we havo our project financed and I believe the authorities of Winnipeg look with favor on our proposal." Tho undertaking is one of magnitude. It Will ■ necessitate tho laying of trunk mains from Medicine Hat to Winnipeg, a distance, as tlie crow flies, of 050 miles, but with the moan- derlngs of a pipe Hue in order to supply mnny prosperous cities between the two points, a considerable greater distance, but as has boon repeatedly demonstrated in enterprises of this kind easily feasible. The enterprise would necessitate the outlay of many millions of dollars,, one estimate be- ins as high as J20.ooo.ooo. Associated with Mr. Georgeson are a number of local capitalists. fl Edwards Reaches City; Talks of Experiences WORKS THROUGH NIGHT ON1 ENTRIES Secretary Horstead Has Not Yet Been Able to Complete* Classification FIRE DAMAGES PUGILIST'S STORE AT CALGARY (Byt Dally News Lensed Wire.) , CALGARY, Sept, 32.—Tho clothing establishment of Tommy Burns, former pugilist, now capitalist, was damaged by fire to tho extent of $10,000 this afternoon.

Leaving New York he journeyed west and engaged- in thc automobile business. He did not find much in the auto trade so he took up thc newspaper business and for several months worked as a reporter on the Sun Francisco Call.

Enforce (sumptuary Regulations—Picture Hats Forbidden, (By Dally News Leased Wire,) LONDON, Sopt. 22.—There have been so many little romances In connection with the dashingly dressed girl "typists" and impressionable mule clerks employed by the big downtown firms that employers have at Inst determined to move in tho matter. A firm of advertising agents employing a large number of girls has issued new regulations with severe penalties for thoso who break them In regard to the clothes to be worn in business hours, and this firm's example has been followed by many others. It Is now hoped that before long London business girls will be as neat and business looking as her New York cousins. Employers here believe that the showy appearance of the girls has much to do with disastrous runaway marriages and loss desirable complications. All the filrl clerks and typists employed by the firm already affected will bo required to wear dark coats and skirts of serge or other fine material, and severe shirt waists and collars, cuffs and ties. No tightness will be allowed lr. the skirts and there will be no display of neat nnkles In shoes with immense buckles or bows. Light linen dresses "may be worn in summer, but, open wdrk shirt waisls are barred, and dresses must be worn high in the neck. Large picture hats are absolutely forbidden und the hair must not be puffed out or worn extravagantly. Ear rings arc abolished; in fact, no jewelry of any kind except watches will bo allowed. ... Of course, the girls ore furious but helpless, for they know that there are thousands of young women ready to take tholr plneea at a moment's notice for low wages. AMERICAN RHODES SCHOLARS PURITANS OR WORSE (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDON, Sept. 22. — American Rhodes scholars at Oxford aro pictured us cads lacking the sense of humor, in an nrticle In ibis week's Academy, signed "Young Oxford." "The fact is," the writer concludes, wo have no uso for tho American al Oxford. He comes to us with his character already formed and his opinions fixed. Ho does not understand us ami takes away false impressions. The very best type America gives us bears tho stamp of ineradicable Puritanism, nn excellent birthmark, perhaps, but it Is an excellence that is exasperating. If tho young American is not Puritan, then he is to be pilled, for he Is usually rather despicable. They do not know how to, shall we say, vary thc monotony of virtue in a manner that Is at all pleasant to behold." EXAGGERATED REPORTS OF REGINA CYCLONE (Bv Dnlly News Leased Wire.)

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—Australia's feeling of cordial friendship for the United States was testified today by Sir George H. Reid, former premier and now high commissioner of Australia, who was the guest of honor at a luncheon given by the merchants' association here. Althdugh 75 per cent of Australia's Imports were from the British empire, as the high commissioner noted in his address, he expressed gratification that the trade of his country with the United States was a large one and that the feelings of the Australian people for the people of tlio United States were those of most genuine affection. "We had only one opportunity of showing how we felt In reference to your people, added Sir George, "and that was two or three years ago when a magnificent American fleet visited Austratiu. There never was, I think, a wilder demonstration of enthusiasm in Australia than when we had the opportunity of taking our American cousins*- by the hand and offering them the best of our hospitality. The loyalty ot the people of Australia for tho mother country was never so Intense as It is today, but we have no reservation in our feeling about the people of th< United States." INTEREST IN ANCESTRY GROWS Americans Are Beginning to Look Up Their Antecedents. The growing Interest In ancestry indicates that Americans aro fast coming to believe that lt Is of some consequence to know from whom they are descended. Long lines of ancestry nre revealed In each person, and this ancestry, if understood, will assist materially In various directions. It is a pride which deserves encouragement. One cannot know loo much about himself, and in acquiring a knowledge of his ancestors he is learning the most important facts about his own personality. This has heen demonstrated so many times that lt Is needlessto enter into extended arguments here to prove the assertion. Genealogy Ib the most fascinntlng branch of history. And well it may be, since lt Is the one branch which has life, Everything else may be a mere catalogue of dates, but genealogy Introduces the student to the actual personages and offers him the most complete means of obtaining an accurate understanding of the occurrences of the past. There are only a few observations regarding this story of ancestry, a study which is becoming more and more popular, and is, In numerous ways, revolutionizing tho modern comprehension of events ln the historic past.—Magazino of American History.

FRONT EtrWNTlON' Nelson's New Fire Hall Now- in Course of Construction. GROUND FLOOR PUN. F1R6T FLOOR PLftN Rates Too High On British Columbia Fruit Why Calgary Does Not Get More Kootonay Fruit—Freight Rates Too High- Express Rates Prohibitive—Car-stairs Merchants Combined Against British Columbia Product—Wholesalers' Attitude. Under tho heading "Why Calgnry Does Not Get More British Columbia Fruit" the Calgary Herald publishes the following nrticle: There has been a great deal of discussion lately nbout prices of fruit nnd vegetables in Calgary and the receipt of a couple of letters from subscribers has resulted ln The Herald holding n further Investigation into the matter. The crux of the trouble seems lo be that express rates from producing points in British Columbia are too high to allow the producer there to ship ln ripe fruit. To ship a carload of fruit from the States costs on an average $1,00 per one hundred pounds, and adding olher fixed charges, such as Icing, etc., a crate of American fruit laid down ln Calgary costs -46 cents, To lay down a car of British Columbin fruit costs 70 cents per crate. Looking at these figures the British Columbia fruit growers think, and think rightly, that they have a legitimate grievance ngalnst the freight and express com ponies, and the wonder Is llttlo that, as one correspondent writes Tbe Herald from Penticton, "there are about one hundred tons of fruit rotting on the ground." This is taking it for granted that the shipper in British Columbia sends his goods by freight. But If It "wore possible he would send his products ln hy express and Ihus place on the market a mucli bettor and more luscious fruit. This, however, he cannot do, as the express rates are prohibitive. It costs $3.20 per hundred pounds to do this, and consequently there is very little of the products of the British Columbia orchards shipped In this way, The American grower Is also wise and does not ship In fruit by express—In face, he cannot, as the distance is too great, but at the same time he can lay down his products here at 46 cents as against the Canadian at 70 conts. This, too. Includes a duty of 20 cents per crate on the American product, "'*•• B. C, Industry Growing. The fruit Industry of British Columbia Is Increasing enormously, and year by year the wholsalers handling American fruit are becoming more and more alarmed for fear of tholr American trade, which they see Is gradually being depleted and demoralized owing to this increase in B. C. fruit. It ia becoming apparent to them that sooner or later the B. C. trade is one that must be reckoned with and one that they will have to take cognizance of. Today on the market there are carloads of American fruit that will have to be sold at a sacrifice to the growers —in other words, the producers will not got one cent for their work of the season. ," This fruit hns. (to use the term of tho wholesaler) been wild-catted In j from the States. This, to the lay mind', means that the shippers on the other side have taken a chance, and this time they will lose out. To sum up the situation, the wholesaler must get bis profit, and to do so, ho will sell at any old price he can get. A case of fruit shipped from American points costs on an average 46 cents including freight and icing charges. This is being sold at 00 cents a crate, and it is obvious that when the wholesaler "gets hla" out of it, there will be nothing left for the producer. This, however, is neither here nor there with the wholesaler. He has the fruit on his hands and must get rid of It at any price, or it will spoil. Just how the British Columbia producer feels about this is evidenced by the following letter which The Herald has received, written during the past few days: Editor, Herald:—It Is estimated that there will bo about 100 tons of peaches spoiled, or rather rotted at Penticton this year. The packing houses con- not handle the Immense crop and the cannery Is running full capocity. In shipping for freight they have to be packed about a week bofore ripe, so that when they reach the consumer they have little flavor. If the express companies would cut their rnte down about half—say one-half a cent per pound—then we could supply the public with nice, ju|cy fruit for about 80 cents per box.—H. B. Cosser, Penticton, B. C. It might be pointed out that the express rnte from Penticton ts ut present ?3.25 per one hundred pounds with a minimum of 35 cents per box,- and at this Vate there is not much likelihood of fruit heing expressed ln. The freight rate from American points is $1.00 per 100 pounds. To this Is added Icing charges and twenty cents per case duty, and even with the duty added the cost of laying down the fruit in Cnlgary is less than the cost of bringing in the snme commodity from British Columbia. Wholesalers Don't Want It. With the congestion of American fruit now existing the wholesalers do not care to handle tho British Columbia fruit—for the simple reason that tho Canadian product cannot be han died for less than 80 or 85 cents por crate, while thc American product Is being sold for 60 cents per crate— leaving of course nothing for the producer. There is too, overy difference In the world In the quality of the two fruits, ns It Is necessary to pick the American fruit weeks before It fs really ripe, becnuse the chance of selling has to be taken into consideration, and it Is always considerable time beforo the fruit reaches the consumer, which means that the fruit is picked ln a very unripe condition. Another Letter. ;y In any case the Canadian fruit grow*™ er has no chance, for there are specific cases where the whosalers and re*-' tailers absolutely refuso to have anything tu do with the British Columbia product. A enso in point Is shown up in the following letter recently received in The Herald office: "Calgary, Alta., Sept. 14., 1912.— Editor, Tho Herald.—-The merchants in Cnrstalrs have agreed to buy as one man and arrange selling prices so ob to mnke a fine profit. They arranged to buy from a car of American fruit and postlvely refused to buy from a British Columbia car. "They tried to force the salesmen of the B. C. car to take his fruit out of town nnd so leave them a clear field for their American fruit. It so bnppened thut the B. C. car was ono belonging to the Vernon Fruit Company, Limited. This company fought an alleged combine of jobbers fn Calgary the past winter and were not tho people to bo chased out of town even though threatened with a boycott by theso retailers. "Cnrstalrs is, however, fortunate In having a live merchant who believes In n square deal for tbo people of his town who may want to ent fruit. He also believes in 'Canada for the Canadians.* With him Canadlnn goods are first. "This merchant, J. W. Brlggs, not only retailed this Canadian car, but, like Oliver Twist, 'is asking for more.' He is getting a enr of the finest fruit British Columbia has ever sent out. Mr. Brlggs says: 'I will stay with them.'. As n result of this fruit wnr, Curstnirs people will oat their fill of tho choicest fruit nt prices that will not leave a gold-dust taste in their mouths. "The consumer complains of the high prices of fruit. The retailer blames the wholesaler; tbe wholesaler blames the retailer. In the meantime, hundreds of tons of fruit are rotting under thc trees in British Columbia. The grower claims that he Is not getting price enough to pay the costof picking and packing. Perhnps this little fruit wnr at Carstatrs may point the way to a solution of the strnngo condition of thc fruit business.—S. J. Fee." SApDLE MAKING IN MEXICO Entire Family Sometimes Takes Part in Home Industry. Tho making of saddles, while in the aggregate an Important local Mexican InduBtry, Is purely a home affair, lho artisans for the most part worMntr In- dependently In their own homes and often pressing the entire family Into service. The manager of the largest; wholesale and retail dealers In saddles in this city Informs me that all tho snddlos whicii they handle aro made locally by hand and that his firr; alone keeps about 10 men so cmployod. He estimates that more than 100 families In this city are similarly employed. Many of these hand-made saddles are handsomely carved and most creditable In appearance, although the leather as a rule Is far Inferior to that used In American saddles. It Is the practlco of retailers here to furnish the trees, leather, and fittings of all kinds to the workmen and to pay them for their actual labor. The labor Is the cheapest item entering Into saddle construction, many entire families being satisfied with a wage of 50 cents to $1 American currency per day. The saddle trees used for lhe better grade of saddle oro Imported from the state of Colima; the cheaper grade of saddles using a tree of local make. No American saddles or saddle trees are carried In stock by local merchants, but are ordered from time tr. tlmo according to tho specifications of the Individual purchaser.—Dally Trade and Consular Reports.

This cement floor was built for thc purpose of preventing the new unit from vibrating and a demonstration .vns made to show that this had been accomplished, the great shaft running smoothly and evenly.

Hole;- ip the walls and roof of this bunk- house, whicii is simply n wooden shell and open to both wind and rain, were seen by the mayor and aldermen and it was suggested that the present boarding house should be enlarged by a, two-story four-room addition on tht west Bide. Two of these rooms woulr accommodate the members of the staff who at present have to sleep lr the bunkhouse, one would be reserved for Mr. Thomas for whom, under existing conditions there Is no accommodation when he- has to spend' f night nt the plant, and the fourth Would be used in cases of emergency or if the force at the plant should be Increased.

EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT OF NAVAL POLICY. Those who have been complaining about Premier Borden's delay In announcing the naval policy of his government will not havo much longer to wait for this Information. Speaking at a banquet in his honor In Montreal Saturday evening, the premier gave assurance that the government's program In respect to this matter would shortly be In shape for presentation to the public and thnt it, will be submitted to parliament with the least possible delay. With this end in view, the annual session would open in November- instead of January, tho date set by the wiseacres. j The government's policy on lhe nuval question Is still a matter of conjecture, but judging by Mr. Borden's remarks, It cnn bo pretty safely assumed that it will be comprehensive ftnd In keeping with Canada's self-respect. One thing, however, which Mr. Borden made abundantly plain was that he sees both sides of the question, J.he necessity for making provision for the meeting of any emergency such ■ as the German peril may develop and also for thc adoption for some definite and well-considered plan for the discharge of Canada's obligation to the empire In regard lo naval dofence, including the defence of her own shores and commerce. The question of what may be done lo provide against any emergency that may arise will depend lo a large extent on how serious the old country government and the Canadian cabinet regard tlie German situation But whatever policy may be adopted by Mr. Borden and his colleagues in respect to this matter, it is satisfactory to know that the premier docs We Put in Black and White every lease and contract that we draw up In the Real Estate business.

Unfortunately, wc have anolher class who have not taken on these responsibilities and it wag to that class lhat thc Liberal party and the Liberal press made their recent appeals in the recent contest. You naturally ask mc what purpose they could havo to serve in appealing to a class of men who were neither British subjects by birth or naturalization, and who could not for that reason exercise the franchise. My, answer Is that if these men lived.In any other province of Canada than In Saskatchewan, they could not exercise their franchise. But, you all know thnt we have a Dominion naturalization law in Canada. That law Is supported, maintained and upheld ln every province of the Dominion to tlie extent that every province In the Dominion places upon its statute book an oath which every elector who asks for a ballot is obliged to take before voting lo the effect that he is either a British subject by birth or naturalization. "It existed upon the statute books of Saskatchewan until a few days previous to going lo thc country. Then thc premier of the province introduced an act by which they wiped out that part of the oath where a man was obliged to swear that he was a British subject. That was to enable thorn to poll the vote in favor of and in sympathy with them fn that contest. It was the result of that vote that elected-and returned that government. That method was practiced In every constituency within the borders of the province. In one constituency where things were not at their worst, 1914 votes were polled and of these 214 votes were cast by men who were not naturalized British subjects. (Shame, shame.) "ln addition to that, over 300 loyal British subjects In that same constituency were denied the franchise to which they had a right. As a result the Liberal candidate was elected by a majority of 80. This wns what tbe Liberal press calls sentiment in favor of reciprocity." REFUSE TO GIVE k .DOCTOR, EXPEFjSE-9 (Continued from page one.) means about $25 and transportation expenses.

Mr. Ldbndle—I'd be willing to go without anything nt all, pay my own expenses If I could get away.» Mr. Irvine—Then you're welcome to go. Dr. Jones—I wouldn't take money from thc city to travel on. Mr. Irvine—We gel mileage and pay for our time when attending lodge Conventions. The chairman said that he did not think that tho board should send a man to the convention and limit him to $3.50 a dy. Mr. Labadle—Suppose you say |4 per day; would that be sufficient? Dr. Jones—That runs it up to about $40. Sixty Dollars or Stay at Home. Dr. Arthur—It's no good prolonging this. I'll get $60 or not go. Mr. Labadle—I'm not willing to pay any more. I don't believe in squandering public money. Dr. Jones—N(%do I. Dr. Arthur-iThen we'll call it off. The finance committee's report was then passed .'on the motion of Mr. Irvine, seconded by Mr. Labadle. Dr. Jones voted against thc passage of the report on the ground that Mrs. Cryderman, a teacher without a certificate, was included in thc payroll. It was decided to allow the high school girls to take, at their own expense, a course of physical culture ut the Y. M. C.

Neither had reported, she said. Mr. Labadle remarked that he was on thc monitor committee but that no meeting had been called. Cold Feet He Suggests. Mr. Irvine—The committee must have got cold feet. They never met, did they? Mr. Labadle—I wonder when they aro going to meet. Pretty near time, Isn't it? After making a suggestion that the minutes should be consulted with regard to the appointment of the two committees Dr. Jones criticized tho secretary for attending the meeting without the minute book, "Wo .can't do business ln this way," she declared. Mr. Irvine said that he understood Mr. Thompson, the public Bchool principal, did not need a monitor. Dr. Arthur corroborated this statment. Dr. Jones—Who did he tell? Dr. Arthur—He told me. Dr. Jones—Did you tell him to tell you? Dr. Arthur—I didn't; you might have. The other committee, Messrs. Labadle and Irvine and the chairman, explained that they had been too busy to visit the high school grounds. Thursday afternoon next was declared a half holiday for the benefit of the children who wish to attend the fair on that day, when admission will be free. It was decided that a manual training exhibit should be made, Dr. Jones expressing the opinion that the boys -ahold be offered a prize tot their work. Mr. Labadle agreed.

I answer that one who cannot, or does not fit glasses Is not fit to do general eye work, and one who cannot do many things besides merely putting lenseB before nn eye cannot properly fit glnses except in a very few in stances by accident. I fit glasses to the simplest, as well as to the most difficult cases where glasses are wanted and needed for any purpose. The fitting of glasses Is so Important that I always examine the eyes for that purpose, nnd if glasses nre needed they must be worn. The MeCormick' system of fitting glasses Is so superior to nil other methods thnt we especially welcome their failures and often find them comparatively simple.

BUSINESS BRISK AND PRICES ARE HIGHER (By Dally News Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—On a volume or -.business uncommonly huge for a weekend day's session of the stock exchange ndded very materially to advances over tho preceding day. The movement was perhaps less broad than yesterday's, speculations centering largely around the old time favorites, such as United States Steel, whieh established a high record for the year. Reading and Union Pacific, Lehigh Valley nlso rose smartly on the advices pointing to excellent trade conditions. This was shown not only in the company's August statement, with a net inerense of $250,000, but In the unprecedented demand for anthracite coal In the west rat higher prices. Steel was assisted, by tbe higher prices of iron and certain finished products. Other industrials that manifested marked strength Included General Electric, American Smelting and some of tbe metal shares. In the special cluss, American Tobacco moved irregularly nnd Goodrich, preferred, last over I! points. Routine new was a favorable character, the mercantile agencies reported excellent trade conditions for the most part, especially among jobbers and distributors, Proof of the Increased freight movement iu the west waa furnished by thc great reduction In the number of Idle cars compared with this period last year. DEALINGS HIGHER AT CLOSE OF MARKET fBy Dally News Leased Wire.-) MONTREAL, Sept. 21.—Tlie exceptionally active market last week closed on Saturday with a two-hour session with dealings on a lighter scale and the tone for the most part easier.

The heaviest trading wns in Dominion Textile, which opened '^c lower at 711, declined sharply to 75 and then rallied to 7tiV., selling !hC lower than Its best previous Inst transaction. The close was 7G%i bid. Montreal Power was similarly on tlio reactionary side, losing a point to 231, but recovering \_ point of the decline before the close. Richelieu was dull between U7tt and 117. sold at 1\"x_ In tho last trades and closed at 117-*-'. bid, 117',!; asked as compared with 117% bid 117*}'. asked on the previous day Detioit sold ofr i/i point and was offered at 73Ts at tlie close with "Tu bid as com pared with 74'/j asked on Friday. Lauren tide firmness on light trading was con spleuous. After an advance of %i to a new high record of 223 the close vvai unchanged nt 222'^. Th-.-re were few fen turcs to the balance of the list. Canadian Pacific railway sold at a decline of h. point in a one-lot transaction, but closed at 27B?i bid as against 27(i'/j ofi Friday. Canadian Converters after a gain of Vi to 4T',i was offeied at 48%, and was offered at that price at tho close.

McKechnie, in a reccnl Issue of the Lancet, gave details of A remarkable euro effected by him ir. the case of a boy of 14 years, who had been continuously 111 since the beginning of an illness five years beforo The boy was stunted in growth, and the parents had given up hopes of £. cure, as he had undergone much treatment without any benefit. Dr McKechnie diagnosed liver abscess \yltl) perforation of diaphragm am. pleura, and secondary abscess In tht base of the lung, with adhesion ni lung, liver and pleura to llie diaphragm in the neighborhood of tin perforation, with intermittent partia evacuation of thu cavities in tbe Ilvet and lung via the.bronchi and trachea The boy, it should bc staled, was con linually coughing up pus. br. Mc Kechnlo came to certain conclusions and, acting on these, his treatment was simplicity itself. His own description Is given in the following paragraph: "Imaile the boy hang suspended over the edge of a table, head downward, the whole body hanging ver tleally upsidu down, the legs and thighs lying on tho table at right angles to the body and thus support ing him. In tbls position he -was made to caught and squeeze his chest till-no more pus came out. Dy tills mcaos tin abscess cavity was completely emptied and be was made to repeut the pro- ■i&tii fU-.e-i)uisiiE limjML a «luy. Ut" fits! he got rid of large quantities of pus be; ll rapidly diminished, und In about six weeks he ceased lo have pin and was cured. His progress wus remarkable. The whole boy altered, and a year afterward he bad grown several inches and caught up with his y-.linger brother. He became active, bright and cheerful, and was able to d) his lessons with ease, instead ot being very backward us he had bee: before. 'I think this Is a good example o simple application of tbe principle thut We sbruhl allow the force ol gravity lo drain abscesses. This simple procedure cured In six weeks without operation or pain a condition which had lasted five years, had baffled other modes of treatment, threat- tnod llie life of the patient, made It n misery and prevented his growth. No ell er treatment was employed by me I -suggest that this postural method of titatment Should be tried in abscess of lhc lung anil bronchiectasis before resorting to tbe more formidable surgical procedures." PHONE IN THE POCKET Thc Berlin police have a new device that promises a revolution in telephone arrangements, When il shall come into general use. Tiie pocket phone us now used ennhles members of the force to communicate with headquarters at any time and from almost any point in the streets of tbe city with a readiness impossible tt the older forms of police telephones Each officer carries a tiny Instrument practically a microphone, which he can lake from bis pocket and ban? upon nny one of the many weather- tight anil fool-proof terminals, which nre placed in convenient localities and communicate readily with head quarters. The instrument Is practical and Works efficiently, and there la no reason why ft should not be adapted to many uses. Its exceeding slm pllclty commends lt, certainly ,for tl Is vastly different from tho huge, sightly boxes, containing ordinary telephones, with which our American cities are decorated. The pocket Instrument takes little more space than an ordinary watch would occupy and weighs next to nothing.—Technical World Magazine. BLUE BROTHERS THREATEN Gravn Peril to French in Morocco—To Drive Back El Hiba Will Re- , ••quire Large Force. I*AR.!tS, Sept. 22.-—Summer is ending in Morocco" With anxiety for ils French protectors. *yiie son of a prophet has come up'from the south, out of thc uttermbBt confines of thc desert. Three thousand Blue Brothers guard him wherever he goes, for he is their head und son. of the saint who wus the founder of their order. They have entered the' sacred capital Marakesh in triumph,'and In Its mosque proclaimed him Siiibin of all true believers Morocco. But he says of himself thai he is only fighting in the name of thc great Sultan of the holy war, who is coming from the cradle of Mohammedan rule in remote Tufllct to drive thc French from Africa. Travellers-'who reached as far as Fez have for years noticed these religious brethren fn the streets, always three or four walking silently together. Their skin Is ns dark us that of thc Soudanese, but tbey have the white man's shape of head. Tbey come from the Sue,- the southernmost of the four kingdoms' of Morocco, from beyond the upper Atlas. There the Sahara merges its sands in waste lands of the coast, which the French have taken for their province of Mauritania. Their feet and legs ore bare halfway above the knee. Tho rest of their body they swathe, in blue jeans from English Manchester; and they leave a fold to throw across the head and half veil the face like their neighbors, the Tooareekg of Algiers. When thc. rain falls on tliem, thc color of the cotton .Washes, out and stains theii foreheads and shoulders blue, whence their name. Blood Kin to Prophet. From these blue shadows, burning black eyes look out at the modern civilization which they have sworn to withstand. From the Arabs they have the book and tbe prayer; from the Sahara and thc Soudan, the sun and blood that have given them their black skins; from their Berber race, tho pride and conceit of Libyans, who, 'In Egypt, had the most ancient civilian-1 tlon. From tbe Christian they have taken only cheap cloth that stains for a religious habit, and guns and ammunition for their devotion. When the shopkeepers of Fez see tbe Blue Brothers tbey stop their chatter and wait till the terrors of the desert pass. Ma el Ainln half a century ugo gave the Blue Brothers their prayer. He had learned it from tlie blind Saint Bou el Amaru beyond the Atlas, In the "zaoula," which is the mother bouse of hundreds of religious communltie*--, from the Sudan all tiie way to Mecca. Their rule goes hack to Damascus, un der thc first 'caliphs of Mohammed, und Mu el Ainln wus, or pretended to be, blood kin of tho prophet. Ho wus a fierce old man, with rancors of all the ages down from Ish- macl, supplanted by his brother Isaac, When French' cavalry raids ibegnn through the back lands of the desert, he recognized jtJ-Ve enemy. More than once he allowed, himself to be bought; and took tin} price that was paid,' ariil then he fought a« before nt the firsi, occasion. "When He died, driven far buck to the south, he left to bis many sons a charge lo keep—undying hatred of the French infidel. The English lie traded with, and be knew Spaniards-, would blunder Into defeat themselves. One son bas made outward peace with the French. The others hnve founded their league and outposts all thc way up from the south for tho present on- ward march of their leader. El Hlba. Thc French have given El Hiba the title of pretender, but he Is not like other pretenders and "roguis." He hag but one port to play—the deliverance of the Moors from the French. He bus it by Inheritance, His father, Ma ol Ainin, was himself the sOn of a saint Mohammed Fade] of Hodh, In Mauri* tiitiia, where French domination was first proclaimed. Snod Bou, thc one son of Ma el Ainln, who has accepted French rule, in reality keeps the family Interests intact In their native prov* ince. FOR BALE. FOR SALE—Ch-jap, 120 acres in famoJs .

Tbey nre good Mohammedans, loo, and enjoy thoroughly certain camp meeting exercises, In which the Blue Brothers Indulge. One of the great apprehensions expressed by the Pun-Germans after the Moroccan treaty was that France might train the Moors to fight, am', some day bring over her dark-skinned troops to cross thc Rhine. It has oven been demanded that some Hague peace congress should declare sueh transportation of colonial troops internationally unlawful. However this may he, it cannot apply lo the use of France's Senegalese and Soudanese and Congolese soldiers In Morocco. There is another objection, and It is? grave enough. The Senegalese have learned their price. Belgian Congo gives them 40 cents a day apiece to work at its railways and growing Industries. France must pay equivalent- ly the same if she is to win Morocco by her black-skinned, bright-uniformed, gilt-buttoned African soldiers.

Box 147 - —* -Nelson; B: C: The French Dilemma. The whole world now knows the name of El Hiba and what he and the other brothers are doing at Marraltosh and beyond. To the relatively cultured and luxurious dwellers In the town* of Morocco, he Is as uncouth and un worldly as was John the Baptist to tbe Jows, But be brings from the desert n strength which tbey have lost and It is no wonder thc whole south, towns like Mogador and Marrakesh and wild tribes of the Atlas, have gone over to him. The sheikha, on whose religious Influence the French have relied, like the European teed Shereef of Wazatj and El Omrani, also fly the green flag ns descendants of the prophet; but thoy have lost hall their prestige before El Hlba. Hi comes shedding blood as earnestly as he prays; and he already half fulfils his people's desire for one that Is to come. What can the French do with him? Buy him as Balak did Balaam—with the same sure result? Fight htm7 Bui to conquer him, or even to push him and his blue brothers hack to the desert, would need more of nn army than France can prudently send Into Mo* rocco. Those Germans who only wait for France to weaken herself beyond remedy are already exulting. Says thc Kreuz Zeitung of Berlin.; "For Germany, Morocco is the besl protection of the frontier of the Vosger? and at the same time the best pledge o*1 peace for Europe. If F.rance Wishes to keep the Maghreb she must renounce forever her revenge. And even If France should abandon all that she has worshipped since 1870, the Sheree- flan empire will remain a th6rn under her armor." In plainer speech, this means—If France has lo keep a large army In Morocco, she will not have the milt lary strength to defend herself nt home. This Is not so sure. France has still n choice. She has a rcnervc of native troops In Senegal, from which sho Is already drawing. These Scnegalosc make excellent soldiers and attach themselves to their French officers. Thoy bring their wives, if nd children with them, and all like to travel. When not fighting, they settle down and cultivate the ground around .their posts. SOME HARD WORDS Shakespeare and Dickens are hy m means llie only authors who are difficult to put Into other tongues, trans lators of the Bible often complaining the obstacles they have to i mount. How, for example, render .such a phrase as "whiter than snow" In the language of equatorial Africa, where snow Is unknown? In the language of lhe Lengua, a tribe in Paraguay, tltey were obliged to translate thc word "eighteen" "cbog-emek-wakihla-mok cmmik-unthnnthal-ma," the literal meaning of which is "finished my hand pass to my olher foot-three." H. Olte! will Bruce cites the cna0 of a trans lator in New Guinea, who. getting struck with the phrase "Far be It frorr, me to do this thing," consulted an intelligent catechumen, who gave him the precise Idiomatic equivalent In 0. phrase that meant "May I speak tr. my mother-in-law before I will do thlf thing!" For It seems that in Now Guinea It is an unpardonable sin foi a man to speak to his wife's mother A book could be filled wilh curiosi lies of translation. It Is, however, far easier to criticize than to write n translation, and any one who has bail to do much of such work must take off his hat to masters like Gilbert Murray for his Euripides, to Charlei Ellot Norton for his Dante, to .Jowett for his Plato, to Swinburne and Tos- Settl for their bits from Villon, to Mai hirme for his verses of, Poe, to Sir Christopher North for his Plutarch— ibis the more extraordinary because n translation not from tbe original,' but from Amyot's French version.—Arthur Benington, North American Review. BISHOP ROWE AND ALASKA Archdeacon Struck of Alaska, whe has just been making his annual sum mer cruise in thc Pelican, writes from Tanana to the Spirit of Missions thai Bishop Rowe has worked a veritable miracle at that mission during hit "thawing out" there. The natives hav-- been worked upon and moved to bant themselves together against the inlrd duction of liquor among them; thej have already had two of their own number arrested and fined for drunk* enness and disorder, aad have giveh public notice in the local paper that tbey will testify In court ngalnst any man who attempts to sell them liquor Under tbe bishop's leadership thei* have started a large communal garden and have elected a village council, sueh an there Is nt Fort Yukon and Eagle, and a new chief.

ITALY'S ROYALTY AT PLAY ROME, Sept. 22.—During their summer vacation the King and Queen of Italy have been mora in the public eye than ever, owing to tbe war. From their estate of Kan Hosspro, near Pisa; whence thoy frequently go to visit hospitals to see wounded soldiers from Africa, lo review troops, nml tako part In other functions on which lho heart of tho nation is now concentrated. The royal yacht Yola Is in constant demand, and the King and Queen generally tako their small family of four alone, as they are all excellent sailors Princess Yolandu, who is quite a photographer, haa been devoting herself principally to sea views. Thc privacy with which thc King always moves gives rise to many piquant incidents l*'or a ruler who goes about in hi:, own kingdom aa much as Victor Emanuel III. does, he Is not known to many officials. Tho Yoln put Into Spezia recently ami wns horded by the harbor master. Princess Yolnndn was about to lake a snapshot Of him, when he exclaimed: ''It Is ngalnst the rules; you cannot take photographs; you had beter give. mc lho machine." The princess, ton young to stand on her dignity, burst into tears, anil gave up the camera, when tho King appeared on deck. Even then the official did not know with whom hu had to do, and was about to speak, when ono of tho officers rami forward and said: "His majesty." Tin man, who wna speechless with eittbar* rassinent, was relieved by a laugh from tho queen, who proposed lhat he should give Princess Yolnndn back hoi camera and that he should stand u- and have his photograph taken. The princess Inter sent him a copy whlcl did redtt to her skill. On another occasion the King wns not allowed to land until after thi usual Inspection, nnd as under such clrcumslances ho never reveals himself nnd never Insists, il was some time beforo the official know that he had been refusing passage to his sovereign, A Voyage of Mishap. On one of their short voyages, a tornado arose, und the royal family were nearly swamped. - After a time they gained tbe nearest port, Leghorn, but the Queen had a sprained arm from lhe shaking she got and the children wero somewhat frightened. Queen Elena, speaking recently to a visitor at San Rossore, said: "You cannot imagine tho difference between the qulot-i indeed, the solitude, here and the bustling cities where We go Here wnr spems in tbe realms of dreams; there il is n living reality. I so love this retired life thnt I recognise the fact that too much of ii is not good for me." The summer life of the Italian sov erelgns Is simplicity itself. Han Ros sore consists of whal Is colled here a Casino, a small palace, and a chalet surrounded by miles ot park, comprising some wonderful pine forest, .-ind running down lo the edge nf the Mediterranean. In the pnrl( nothing breaks the ai* lence hut the sinking of the birds, oi the tramp of hoofs, as here the King breeds horses. In the palace tho King receives. Here are many souvenirs of bis great-grandfather, and hero tho unfortunate Queen Marin Pla of Portugal, his aunt after her flight from Portugal, lived until her death. . In the chalet reside the King and Queen, tholr children and n restricted retinue of servants. The chalet stands on the bunch; when the sea is rough it swirls up even into the large doorway, to the delight of th0 children, who lovo to play shipwreck. They go barefooted, and they are allowed to got as wet as they like. Off shore ia anchored the royal yacht; Inland is a gflragb. The Queen has herself described their life: "Our life is that of the beach; bathing, running in the sand. and building castles. Tiie children take long baths, fish and tumble aboil* barefoot, usually in their bathing costumes. I watch them and sometimes join In their games, l-'rom time to time we sail about or go for automobile rides, with me ns driver. In the park wc meet no one, and We prefer lho privacy." LITTLE GIRLS IN PERSIA The birth of a girl In Persia is received with pity, even by her mother. "Why should I not weep over my little girl, who will have to endure the same miseries as I have known?" she cries. "Sho is of so little value! Who knows whether her father will not one day throw ber out of the window and so silence forever ber wailing? And why should he be annoyed? He knows ho may do sueh a, thing with Impunity. No one cares any more than If It was a cat which had to suffer for his wrath." From tho hour of birth the social Inequality between the •> itself.
