The Splendid in ititutions—governmental, judicial andj educational—which prevail in every part -[ the Empire are tbe product of enllght aned statesmanship which found favor] and support from the noble Sovereign who is now no more. It is cause for gratification that Hei Majesty lived to see the fruits of her policy in a practical demonstration of the unity and solidarity of her Empire. I must indeed have been to her a source >f satisfaction to witness, a few months .go, the enthusiasm with which her Bub jects from all quarters of the globe ha.-j '.ened to her support ia time of Btre.s and danger, >n that occasion she felt that her life', work bad been well done ful.

The strange thing about the race is, that they have no liquor licensed saloons in tlieii midr't, and a stranger thing still is the fact lhat they stem to survive in spite of the alienee of this essential. How these people manage lo live without liquor or without having liquor licenses is a mystery to the average man in the West Riding of the Lillooet district. Does it not prove what man is capable if enduring when hard pressed by circum-; tances. There is another place called Bridije River —the place where thc mines arc.

Now, Mr. Editor, it is not my intention tt place myself on the same level with David Dalziel by discussing the merits or demerits 01 the question as that itself is loo plain to any fair minded person, but whoever is responsible for the appointment of such a board should be laken severely to task for inflicting upon the mblic such a judgment.

THE KING. - Tbe Trince of Wales comes to tin Throne as Edward VII. As is well known tlie new Monarch lias, for a number of years, discharged many of the duties ordinarily belonging! o a Sovereign—lessening the strain upon lis august mother and assisting in the! naiiifold f auctions of her exalted station. The brilliant intellect, diplomatic ac •omiiliehmentB and personal popularity >f tlie new Sovereign have already en- leared him to the nation. That he wili {evince the deepest interest in tho welfare and prosperity of his subjects is certain and the Empire will witness his accession to the Throne with a feeling of onfidenceand security. LONG LIVE THE KING ! THE QUEEN CONSORT. As OonBort of Edward VII the Prin cess of Wales is pie-eminently qualified to discharge the important and delicat luties that will devolve upon her. She haa long been the idol of the nation and will go to her high position bearin. lhe love and devoted homage of an unanimous people. ___"__"T_ro_-Nr. J. II. Anthony. (SnccesBorR to .

Editor Prospector, Sir: In David Dal- del's lasl letter it is aiv.:-ii,., lo see zeal for temperance -nd civilization used to cover up much ignoi i -, gall and hypocra y. Surely David Dalziel know* that prohibition 'laws never prevented people getting intoxi- ants whenever they wanted them either in the Stales or the Northwest Territories in spite if the police? Has he got so much gall as to imagine min- :rs and others are going to swear off because ie snys they should ? He rteed not flatter himself that he can do what the N. W. M. Police could not do. Now sir, that temperance and civilization talk is all rot, why cannot David be honest ind say the real reasons he prohibited any icenses on Iiridge River and allowed them in Lillooet, was that a licensed hotel in ISridye River would bs the fore runner of stores and town and lhc miners would trade I here, and not in Lillooet which is in thc estimation of We have a poor opinion of the " fair mind :d " men of the district of West Lillooet iA|,e comfort derived from a hearty cc cold water for a quarter of a mile as I andBh'unself and many others the "Hub of the triers have had lo do, he would experienceHUniverse BAILEY HOTEL.

How wouh '■drunken fanaticism" do as a retributiot lart, David Dalziel. Editor pROSNtCTOR, Sir: I would liU io briefly answer David Da!/itl's long dissertation on Civilization vs. Intoxication. In the filM place Dal/.iel for some reason Ol utherhasnol attempted lo refute my formei etter in any way and we nre nt liberty to form iur own conclusions as tn his not doing so. lie only says that in his first article he pill forward no argument. For once he is right 1 lis letter was absolutely removed from an) pretense of reason) it was a mere rambling paragraph praising his own actions up to tl: skies. We quite agree with Dal-iel's idea of civilization and the evil effect of intoxication nn it. What we claimed and what we still claim it that his plan of removing the evil was absurd. Dalziel did not attempt to answer my state- nent that it was lifeless to refuse licenses on Iiridge Kiver while three were granted in Lillooet. He knows as well as any man knows that it is true. DaV.jel further states that hi- pponents do not know the meaning of " civilization." We would like to inform him that have a far belter knowledge of the Eng- language th?.n he ever will have if wc take! ind would be willing lo acknowledge the bene.: t of a wayside hotel, but being a person of of tluence and not having to rough it, he can sil it home and preach hypocracy which so wel wcomes him. If the liquor curse is so great herr, whydii Inot he close one of the saloons in Lillooet where we are blessed with so many. My opin on is he was too much of a coward to attempt ' and he and his friends are so small ■minded that they would sooner see the whole (district go to smash, it Lillooet town were not ■io get the most of ihe rake-on.

From Marathon you make a tour of tbo tomba ou the backs of donkeys, and it is a rough road and full of ambushes. Tlie trio had started out by themselves and made fair progress when a couple of picturesque villains suddenly bounced out upon them. The escort of a man and bis two boys tied at once, and the villains were about to lead the donkeys up into the hills when Hums ciiuie to the rescue. Ue alone was armed. He descended from his saddle and begau shooting, aud after tumbling over themselves tbe scoundrels left him in possession of the battlefield. He bad saved tbe party, aud be was a hero, eutitled to admiration and gratitude, but before tbe father could put him ou the head or the daughter announce tbat his love was returned something else happened. Shots wero fired from behind u ruin, and the donkeys ridden by father and daughter started off on a galjop, followed by the others.

QUAD. ? <> copTitianr, woo, by c. b. lewis. ♦ I had been in Athens three or four days when the steamer from Brlndisl brought iu au English tourist named Burns and an American gentleman !.allied Wallace nnd bis daughter. Mr. Wallace, us I soon enmo to understand, WHS a gentleman of wealth and leisure, and ids daughter \\-3 as handsome a gill as ever lauded in the country of tombs, liens, beggars nnd brigands. As for Burns, 1 believe be was some Sort of civil service employee on have, but he had some money and greater expectations. The three had become acquainted while doing Italy. More than that. Burns had fallen head over heels In love with Miss Wallace. 1 am inclined to think she wns a bit of n coquette and that she encouraged him out of a spirit of adventure. The father was n dignified, quiet spoken nnu, who probably had liis own plans for his daughter and trusted her not to go too far with the Englishman. While l.e treated Burns In a courteous innn- i!t>r, there was a reserve which the lat- t.-r did not dare approach too closely. 1 thought I saw through the whole t'.iicg nt a glance. It was love aud dollars ou the Englishman's part and on the part of the girl a desire for 1.illation and a half hope that the man would make a fool of himself. Wc nil became acquainted In a day's time, aud after tbe expiration of another day young Burns gave me his confidence. He was lu love for the lirst time In bis life. He bad never dreamed tbat there were angels ou earth until he met Miss Wallace. The man who charged him with a mercenary feeling wronged lilm In the must terrible manner. Ho bad somehow I.ran] that her father was worth $">,- 000,000 and tbat she was an ouly child, but lie begged me to understand that l.e was loving ber with liis whole soul before thnt news reached him. I believed him, and he added: "And now comes the blooming ques- t'on, Does Miss Wallace love me In return ? There are times when I think Flic does, nnd my heels lift off tlie ground, begad, and there are other times when 1 doubt It, and I feel as If a house had fallen on me." "Why uot ask her?" I suggested. "I'm r.frald it's too soon," he replied, "and then the old gentleman -somehow always manages to show up just ns we get sentimental. I don't think he appreciates me. If I'd go to him and say I loved ills daughter, I believe he'd keep right on reading bis newspaper nnd smoking his infernal black cigar— egad. I do! If I only bad some one to sound lil in for me." "Yon ought to do something heroic to win the girl's admiration and love and the father's gratitude and esteem," I said after a long while. "L1.B8 my blooming eyes, but I will!" be promptly replied—"that Is, I would If there was u show. I was ready to save them both if the steamer went down, doucher know, but she simply ri lied about like a dog in a pond aud refused to sink when I prayed for it." "But there may be other opportunities." "How can there be unless to keep the Teas and beggars off? Bless me, but I suiter!" 1 didn't see bow' I could help him except to advise him to learn his fate on the morrow and hnve It over with and then go up to Marathon and see the ruins and the tombs and get out of (ireece. Loverlike, he went out Into tne balm; evening to commit suicide, nml 1 saw him no inure until next aft- ernoon. He not only still lived, but there was a look of happiness on his face as I saw him talking to a man I would not have cared to meet a mile out of lown at noonday, That evening Mr. Wallace Informed me thnt he nnd his daughter and Burns were going over to Marathon by rail next day to be gone for a couple of dnys, and nt a later hour tbe lover sat down beside me to say: "I've got a blooming game on foot, doucher know?" "(iolug to become n hero?" I osked. "If I dou't, theu you may call me a donkey. Yes, sir, I've taken your advice, and you'll bear something drop, nB you Yankees say, within a day or two. Thanks, awfully, for the hint. 1 hope to come back arm lu arm wltb the old gent and to have mnttorB all settled with tbo daughter, doucher know." As I hnd been at Marathon I had declined to make one of the party. They got off In good season next morning, aud Burns was In high spirits and acting like a young mnn who felt solid ground beneath bis feet. To my surprise, Mr. Wallace and bis daughter itti'.rued on the evening train, and they hero of oue moment became the captive of tbo next. When the others bad reached a place of safety, they learned that their savior had fallen into tlie hands of regular brigands, beaded by old Beppo, and, though a show of pursuit was made by a detail of soldiers, the fellows were not overhauled. As soon as I hnd heard the story I saw the little scheme Burns had worked. He had hired a couple of rascals In Athens lo go over to Marathon and play brigands for him, but after becoming a hero a gang of the genuine article ftwooped down on him aud curried him off. The only man in Marathon or Athens who was at all disturbed over the matter was the landlord of the liotel, who feared be might uot get his bill. Mr. Wallace nnd ills daughter seemed to have a suspicion after their return that a little job had been put up, but tlie father came forward and guaranteed the hotel bill, and uot a great deal was said. Two days later an ugly (need native presented Wallace with a note from Burns. He bad not only beeu carried off, but tbe brigands wanted $3,000 In gold for his ransom. In bis trunk be hnd about $250, but they had refused tbat. The rascals took It that he was a rich man's prospective son-lu-law and tbat the $3,000 would be forthcoming at once, but the American carried tlie note to the British consulate. The minister was off on a junket, and the official In charge had no Intention of hustling in the matter. He said lie would notify the Greek government and that In due time the matter would be straightened out. Two days later there was a second note. Burns said If the messenger came back without the cash ho would lose one of bis ears. When this was handed in at the consulate, It was greeted with the remark: "Tlie case muBt take tbe usual channels, and lie was an nss to go and get captured." Two days passed again, and this time the messenger handed Mr. Wallace a bulky letter. Its bulk arose from the fact that oue of Burns' ears wua Inclosed. In tbe letter he stated that unless the cash was raised he would lose the other. Tbe sight of tho ear stirred them up at tlio consulate—that is, another demand was made on tbe Greek government, and the Greek government replied thnt tbe ease would be taken up In its regular order. Then Wallace did a handsome thing. The messenger bad beeu detained to see what the minister would do, and, as It was plain that nothing would be dons until too late, the ransom was handed over. It was tlireo dnys before tbe captive was bunded over. His right car had been sliced off as slick as you please, und be hnd had a hard time of It moving nbout on the mountains in the company of the villains. Ho did not come to the hotel, but sent for me to come to the lodgings be had secured. While bis gratitude to Wallace was unbounded aud he said he would speedily arrange to repay hliu, he did not want to meet him. "Egad," said be, "but doneber see how it is? The hero Is no hero, but an ass! He must have seen through my little game. The fact Is, the two bloody villains I had hired for the little comedy began to fall down nnd beg for their lives before I hnd tired a shot. I believe the old gent was smiling when the donkeys started lo run. Tlie brutes overdid It, doucher see. No, I enn't see him. He'd quite knock me out ns he'd lake my baud and press It aud say, 'Hero, I thank thee for thy gallant conduct.'" "But tho girl?" I queried. "Egad, but Hint's worse yet. I saw hor looking nt one of tbe bloody villains to see where lie wns hit. and I heard ber nsk her father If the fellow wasn't doing some tall running I'or a wounded mnn. I couldn't face It, (lonelier know. She might fall on my shoulder and call me n hero and declare that 1 had saved her life, but It's more likely Hint she'd welcome me ns the prize donkey of the century. Ilenl- ly, but I couldn't take chances, doucher know." "And how nbout your volcanic nnd overwhelming love, angels on earth, and so forth?" "Why, hang It, mnn, can't you Bee the blooming situation? Haven't I lost a blooming car and made nn ass of myself, and does a one enred ass love like n two eared man? Can't you see, and doucher know, that the rest of my blooming life will bo spent la feeling for the enr that's probably been thrown ont to tho bloody dogs of Athens? And when I'm not feeling for the enr I'll be training a lock of hair to fall down over where it ought to be, and if there Is any time left, I'll put It lu In kicking myself, doucher see?"

Totaling mass of gaseous matter ai an inconveniently high temperature, nnd that out. of this mass, as it contracted from loss of heat, wus slowly evolved the existing I luuetary sys.eai, with its central sun. has lately been attacked by eminent phjslcists from a number of points ul vantage. Us case is beginning to look desperate. Kirn, llehuholtz pointed out—-and his views were accepted by the present Lord Kelvin and other eminent physicists—lhat a nines of gases, such as was supposed, instead of losing beat as it contracted, would grow hotter. Then tame ihe testimony of tl.p spectroscope that, while the actual nebulae found scattered over the heavens owe their faint glow to luminous gus.s, thoy are at a relatively low temperature, and not at all such bodies us were imagined by Laplaco. Oul of this spectroscopic evident'" lias come th« "meteoritic hypoth sis" of l.oekyer, according to which the primordial condition of the heavenly bodies was not a hot gas, but an infinitude of discrete, solid particles of matter aLsol tely without heat. Professor T. ('. Chamberlfn of the University of Chicago has lately, to speak figuratively, laid regular Beige to the Laplace theory, and has found or thinks he has found a number of substantial reasons against its validity. Recently Professor Chamberlfn ami his colaborator, Dr. F. II, Moul- ton, published in Science a short paper in which they have summarized the conclusions at which they have thus fur arrived in thin investigation. Tlie paper is hardly condensable as a whole into a short space, hut one fact, Which is mentioned incidentally, may be selected, both as a striking fact in itself and as illustrative of one of the difficulties involved in the I aplicean hypothesis, namely, the excessive tenuity of the supposed nebula. The mass, or to use a more familiar term, the weight of all tlie matter now constituting the sun and the planets with their satellites is known, and since, according to the hypothesis, the original nebula had precisely this mass, it can easily bo calculated what must have been its average density when it tilled a globular space having a diameter equal to that of the orbit of the outermost planet, Neptune. The calculat ion show s that this average density would be one 191,000 millionlhs of that of water. That is to say, this nebulous matter would be so rarefied that a globular mass of it 700 feel In diameter would weigh loss than one ounce. Air at sea-level atmospheric pressure has one-thousandth the density of water. A globe of air of that size would weigh atymt 5,000 tons. To the unscientific reader this single fact will tell more against the nebular theory than all other objections put together, for we are required to conceive of a gaseous globe of this excessive average tenuity — and, of course, vastly more tenuous in ils outer than its inner portion — rotating as a rigid sphere. LAUGHING GAS. An Iri-h Cup of Ten. Irish servants, wilh all their faults, fcave many virtues, and tlie Irish cup of tea is not a bad exponent of the national character as we see it displayed in our kitchen—generous to lavishness, careless to slopiness, and qilick-tempered as warm-hearted, A writer in Harper's Ihizar says: Coming in tired from a long walk, I went to my room to lie down, and on my way left a message for Mary: "Tell Mary to make me a cup of tea, strong, and bring it up-stairs. In the course of time there appeared at my door Mary's round, smiling face. "It's an Irish cup of tea I'm bringing you, ma'am," she said. "It's a cup ilowin' into the saucer, ma'am." "I laughed as t took tiie "Irish cup of tea," and Mary stood beside me, smiling while I drank it. So that's the kind of cup of tea you get at home, Mary, is it—the tea running into tlie saucer?" "Oil, yes, ma'am," she said. "When ye give a cup of tea to a friend, ye're not givin' plenty unless it's Ilowin' into lhe saucer. We'd not be insult in' a friend wid a cup that wasn't full. At home it's mane ye are if ye don't fill the cup runnin' over," There is a pretty bit of Irish poetry in this. "A ilowin' cup over for a friend." Tbe GronteRl licut of tho Century. M.

I was within four miles of the town of Boomerang when I heard a voice wallin by the roadside and discovered another human bein In distress. Ho was a man of years and guileless look, nnd his raiment was torn and tattered, Fur some time lie wept and eon hi uot be comforted, but by and by. when the burden had passed from his heart, he told mo of sickness nnd stirrer nnd man's Inhumanity. In my soul I pitied him and gave him lo drink from my bottle and to out of my luncheon, and as he ate and drank 1 talked lo hliu In my cheerful wny.

THE TRUE CAUSE OF MANY ILLS Is Constipation, an Irregularity Which is Prevented and Permanently Cured by Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills. AhI_ any reputable physician what | is the cause of the most bodily derangements and tlie greatest suffer- . ing, and he will undoubtedly tell j you constipation or inactivity of the ■ bowels, lie will also add that this need not be the case if people would pay proper attention to. this most important function. Through ignorance, neglect or a sense of false modesty, people allow the bowels to get into a state of chronic constipation, and there follow kidney disorders, torpid liver, indigestion and a complete upsetting of tho digestive, filtering and excretory systems. Appendicitis, inflammation of the bowels, Bright's Disease and all the dreadfully painful and fatal complications of these diseases are usually set Up as a direct result of neglecting to keep the bowels healMiy and regular. Many people imagine that they can prescribe for constipation, iu\r' so dose themselves with suits or other strong, harmful and weakening drugs, which effect au action on the bowels, but if taken repeatedly deaden and paralyze the system so that it is rendered unable to act for itself nnd will not respond to the influence of curative medicines. Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills act naturally and pleasantly on tho bowels, and through their toning and invigorating effects thoroughly and permanent ly cure constipation. No one who realizes the great importance of keeping the bowels perfectly healthy and regular can afford to lose sight of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills as the greatest regulators of the Altering and excre- tary systems-the liver, kidneys and bowels. As a family medicine to prevent and cure constipation, biliousness, dyspepsia, inactive liver and kidneys and the very many ills arising from these derangements Dr. Cause's Kidney-Liver Pills easily stand first, having by far the largest sale in America.

While In one (if the local drug stores not long ago, Mrs. Wile noticed a number of boxes of Mr. Williams' Pink Pills in tlie show case, and remarked to the proprietor, " If ever there was ti friend Lo woman, it is those pills." She was asked why she spoke so strongly about the pills, and in reply told of the misery from which they had rescued her. The druggist suggested that she should make known her cure for the benefit of the thousands of similar sufferers. Mrs. Wile replied that while adverse to publicity, yet she would gladly tell of her euro if it would benefit anyone else, and she gave the following statement with permission for its publication:— "My life for some years was one of weakness, pain and misery, until I obtained relief through the use of Ur. Williams' Pink Pills. From some cause, I know not what exactly, I became so afflicted with uterine trouble, that I was obliged to undergo two operations. A pavt only of the trouble was removed, and a terrible weakness and miserable, nervous condition ensued, which the physician told me I would never get clear of. I tried other doctors, but all with the same result—no betterment of my condition. The pains finally attacked my back and kidneys. My legs and lect became frightfully swollen, and I cannot describe the tired, sinking, deathly feeling that at times came over my v/holc body. I became uneble to do my household work, ami lost all hope of recovery. Before this stage in my illness I had been advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, but like thousands of other women, thought there could be no good in using them when the medical men were unable to cure me. At last in desperation I mallrj up my mind to try them, but really without any faith in the result. To my great surprise I obtained some benefit from the first box. 1 then bought six boxes more, which I took according to directions, and am happy lo say was raised up by them from a weak, sick, despondent, useless condition to my present stale of health and happiness. Every year now in the spring and fall 1 take a box or two. and find them an excellent thing at the change of tin; season. Other benefits I might mention, but sullice it to say I would strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all ailing women." Dr. Williams" Pink Pills surpass all other nieoicines as a cure for the troubles that afflict womankind. They quickly correct suppressions and all forms of weakness. They enrich the blood, strengthen thc nerves and restore tho glow of health to pallid cheeks.
