THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1906. aaaaaaaaaaaaaajia m a si a a a [HBisiEffiiEiEiaEiaaaHaaKsisiaaHKHsa I VANCOUVER I FIAT JUSTITIA. "The quality of mercy is not strained!" With the eye of faith I can see Mr. Fitzpatrick—now alas! translated to a rarer air—murmuring Portia's famous platitude the while he blotted with his tears the pardon that didn't come too late for Brothier. Oh! my brothers! how thankful should we be that we have such great and good) men to rule over us—men who fear not in a righteous cause to trespass on the preserves of the Almighty and temper the brittle sword of justice with the cooling waters of clemency. Thrice thankful that this our one-time Minister of Justice should place his august hand on the shaven poll of thc poor sinner and say "Dives, come forth; enter thou into the joy of thy compound-interest accumulated gains." On re-reading thc above I have come to the conclusion that it verges on blasphemy. If it only verges it falls far short of the language of Vancouver men of every religious and political creed when the word came that the prison gates had been opened to spew forth this dog Brothier that he might return to his wallow. Already, I hear, he is nosing, as would any other hog, among the detritus of the Decalogue for his own particular tit-bits of hell- spawn that Justice (save the mark) has helped him to hoard. Justice, as represented by a Minister of the Crown now high priest in Canada of the goddess with the "doctored" scales, and by a Vancouver firm of solicitors who till now have represented only which was highest in the law. Of course the cause of all this abom- ation that stinks to heaven is not far to seek. Even the Liberal on the street today will say with the Conservative that it is the French vote in Quebec, dressed and garnished with the gold) that Brothier still may call his own, having well earned it in Satan's service. London's "maiden tribute" is less noisome than that which went to make soft the couch of Brothier free, seeking whom he might devour; of Brothier in prison, chewing his loathsome cud; of Brothier free once more, free to contaminate a community unchained for a space from the trammels of this crusader of concupiscence. of masticating generally, ihe cuy is ■■ui, uig enougu to raiuc as a city anu eve iu uoasi. as me li'uige oi ns civic toga a 101'ce oi ponce m discipline and morale L,eyonu rcproacu. 10 De sucn i..cy must nave ac tneir nead a man acci.sioineu to tuie men; 101" instance, an ex-army uincer, a martinet, man ot pans, and) gentleman, a mau line the centurion, wnose 'say so,' it ne was 10 ue ueneved, "went." Moreover he must be piaced higher than the hecto- nngs 01 absurd aluermen. Was it altogether a coincidence, I wonder, that on the self-same day that the Vancouver press published these horrible tidings, should be given to its readers word of the sentence on the men —yes, men—who waylaid a C. P. R. express witli its armed officials and throngs of passengers. "Your sentence is that you do remain in prison, at hard labor, for the term of your natural life." A fair sentence, my Lord, and such an one as will preserve Canada and Canadians from the lawlessness that riots with the eagle. But what a travesty when read parallel with the other! Here is a judge unafraid; confident that he must strike with iron hand, no velvet in the glove; earless of the sentimental "man in thc street" who is blind ed by thc glamor of the highwayman and cannot see the menace to thc highway. But, as one common person said to me, 'These men were princes to Brothier and Brothier is free." Then place the blame with Chief Justice Fitzpatrick of the Supreme Court of Canada, Arbiter Legorum for His Majesty's Dominions of North America, and not with the Judge who saw thc rigid and acted as he saw. Dramatic Decapitation. Chief of Police North has lost his head, or at least the Damoclean sword already titillates his cervical vertebrae. Like Charles II. of gracious memory, that unfortunate official has been an unconscionable time dying, but at length Mayor Buscombe, in the character of Atropos, has with the abhorrent shears slit the thin-spun thread. "Ego fecit, alone I did it," says His Worship and continues content and well-favored. I'm afraid he did right. Chief North is a good man but not a good Chief for a city like Vancouver. Those who appointed him insisted on his biting off a far bigger piece than lie was capable Tne Royal Visit. i he Board of irade has taken the iiglit course in adding a rider to the ciiuius 01 invitations to Their Majesties tne King and yueen to visit Canada, l litre is always a tendency—in the cast—to forget British Columbia and the r/acihc Coast. Vancouver asks the King and Queen not only to visit Canada—which, at Ottawa, I fear, means Ottawa and Quebec and perhaps one or two more unconsidered trifles—but tht great Pacific Province. So shall our Liege Lord and his consort tread the very gateways of their Empire and looking ever westward dream of new empires. Not empires such as Alexander brooded and) wept for, to be brought to heel with sword and spear, but empires of commerce, mutual markets, linked to Britain by intertwining chains far stronger than are forged on the anvils of the War Lords. nings after 8 wickets had been taken ior only 45 runs. i SPORTING COMMENT 1 $j ON PASSINQ EVENTS ;_ | ft VICTORIA. The Victoria College baseball nine will journey to Duncan on Saturday, when they will try conclusions with the players of that district. The attraction at Oak Bay on Saturday afternoon will be the baseball match between the Seattle Electrics and the Victoria Fernwoods. This game is expected to prove a very interesting one, and the local bunch are out to win. They have been training continuously since their games during the celebration, and are now in beter condition than they have been this season. They realize that they are up against a fairly strong combination, and are determined to leave no stone unturned) to take the visitors into camp. The team that will represent the locals will, with one exception, be the same as defeated the University of Washington during the celebration, and the change will in no way weaken the team. The change that is in contemplation for Saturday is to drop Carlow and place Moore in the outfield. The latter formerly occupied this position with the old Victoria team, and should make a better showing than on the infield. Holmes will be in the box, and as he is pitching stronger than ever, it is expected that no difficulty will be experienced) in holding the visitors down to a rew hits, and these the fielders will be well able to attend to. Thc programme of the races to be held at Victoria on June 30 and July 2 will consist of the following: SATURDAY. Gentlemen's driving race — Purse $125; half-mile heats; best three in five, trotting or pace; open to horses without a mark, owners or amateurs to drive. 2.30 class—Purse $200; best three in live; trolling or pacing. One mile—Purse $150; weight for age. Half-mile—Purse $100; weight for age. Three-quarter mile — Purse $125,;( weight for age. MONDAY. 2.45 class—Purse $150; trotting or pacing; best three in five. Free-for-all trotting and pacing- Purse $300. One and one-half mile running- Purse $250; weight for age. Five-eighth mile dash—Purse $100; weight for age. VANCOUVER. The cricket match at Brockton Point on Saturday resulted in a victory for the Vancouver Club over the Burrards with a margin of 47 runs. The scores were somewhat low, owing to tlie remarkable bowling of J. Rigby and Crosby. Rigby succeeded in j getting away with jseven wickets for 20 runs. Of the two clubs, Vancouver had rather the better fielding, Burrard falling away toward the end of the Vancouver in- Owing to the greal growth of the y.M.Cfi. Since tne opening ot tne new uuudmg last lall more room nas become an ausuuite necessity, ine gymnasium must be enlarged, a swimming pool added and the nurd floor of tne building hiunsed tor the accommodation 01 the boys' and education departments. in order to carry out these necessary improvements and additions and not depart from the well-known policy of Keeping out of debt the directors propose to appeal to the citizens lor the sum of $5,000. It will not be lack of shape that will spoil the lacrosse match on Saturday at Vancouver, for almost without exception the boys are in good condition. Alex. Allen is to be out with the Vancouver, and of course Alex, has not done much work, but he is never very far from right. Nobody is looking for a very finished article of the national game on Saturday. It is. too early to expect much team play from comparatively new teams. But a good, hard, fast game is expected and it is to be hoped the boys will deliver the goods and give the bame a decent start under the new conditions. Bet Allen' decision to turn out for the match on Saturday lifted a big weight off more than one of Vancouver's adherents. At last the Junior Lacrosse league is to get down to business. A meeting was held on Tuesday in the Vancouver Athletic club at 8 o'lcock, when officers were elected and a schedule of matches for the season arranged. With baseball a dead one for the season, at least, and all the boys playing lacrosse on every vacant field in the city, the junior league should be made to boom as it did a couple of years ago. The schedule of matches will commence at once. Developing for Amateurs.... NELSON. A meeting in the interests of Nelson lacrosse was held in the office of the president, G. P.

ANGUS B. McNEII THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1906. w Short Story * POPPIES IN THE CORN. By A. G. Hales. Just back beyond the little fishing IK/illage of Leigh-011-Sea, in Essex, there Btands an old farm house, a quaint old- I.Vorld place, which seems to speak of ays of long ago. I Just beyond the orook there is a patch if corn-land, fenced in for special use, ;nd here, amidst the corn, the poppies 'ieam and glow, radiant in their rich jloring. ' Reaching over the tence, with her Jeeves pushed back nearly to the elbow i the effort to reach a cluster of pop- jes, is a young woman simply and neat- dressed. She makes a pretty picture as she Jtands there with her hat pushed slightly back from her brow. Town-bred, no jjoubt about that; though she somehow Its her country surroundings remark- ply well. There is a breeziness and a jweet freshness about her that makes Jier seem akin to nature somehow. She Is Miss Alice Hawthorn, a paying guest It the farm, as the term goes in these Artificial days, when nothing is called ly its rael name. Her lawyer had made 111 arrangements for her when she first ame to Leigh, and the folk at the farm eally knew very little about her, ex- ept that she was pleasant company in he home, but very much addicted to Vandering aDout the bonny green lanes hat lie anywhere between Leigh and he neighboring villages, of whicli there re a perfect network hidden away in he dells. They had soon learned at the farm Ihat she was a decidedly independent ouiig person, quite capable of forming 'er own opinions, and acting upon them lso; and she looked it this sweet Sun- !ay afternoon, as sue stood watching ie waving poppies. Suddenly her gaze andered across the fields towards the jllage of Leigh, and fell upon the fig- »e of a young man walking towards er leisurely, and then it seemed as if ie sweet warm color of the poppy pet- Is left the flowers and settled in her leeks, and some of the sunlight got do her eyes. He came towards her, swinging his me indolently as he walked, a nicely- lade, well set-up, well-dressed young pan with plenty of self-assurance. You Jin tell at a glance that he believed in imself, and had little, if any, dread of ie future. A man possessing his self- mfidence would surely go farther and itnb higher in me than many men who ossessed more intellect and only the verage assurance. (The girl greeted him shyly, not with ie shyness of the uncultivated miss, but tat sweet shyness born of a first love, fe took her little ungloved hand in his, lid bent his head as if to steal a warm- greeting; but with cheeks flaming ie drew away from him, throwing at e same time a warning glance in the rectioin of the farm house. i'He looked for a moment much as she id looked when she had tried to reach e poppies over the rail of the fence id failed. Then he laughed, and to- ther they strolled away to go amid Dk at the ruins of Hadleigh Castle, I at front the Essex coast—grim, grey ins, on a slope of living green. The young man was Francis Cotton, man of whom big tilings were expect- by the men in his profession. He Id begun life as a journalist, but had vanced into the realms of another iss of fiction, and had made his mark a novelist and dramatist. It was while resting at Leigh, after [• production of his most successful Dk, tha the had met Alice Hawthorn a little picnic party given by' a friend, itual attraction had done the rest; ly had drifted together as seaweeds ft seaward. He did not know a very :a tdeal concerning her antecedents. friends had informed him that she Is well connected, and not poor augh to he compelled to work for own living. His ears and eyes told |i that she was well educated, dainty, graceful. She, on her part, knew I about him. She had read his career . it appeared in one of thc leading Igazines of the day, and she was >ud of his talents, proud, too, of his ! good looks and stalwart figure, for he was no anaemic son of the midnight toil. The way that leads to Hadleigh Castle lies between high green hedges that, 111 the early summer, are too beautiful tor anything, except for resting places for the song birds that make the evening air heavy with melody, and it was along ihese lanes that Alice Hawthorne and Francis Cotton strolled dreamily. To him, it was something he could have written about; it would ha/ve made such a pretty groundwork for a novel dealing with rural English life. To her it was as if the gates of life had just opened, to flood the world with beauty. The humming of the bees, the call of thc cuckoo, the ripe melody of the nightingales, the flutermg of butterflies from flower to flower. Even the occasional passing of an Essex hind, on his way from cottage to farm, did not misfit the scene, for she was happy, very happy, fpossibly at that moment happier than she had ever been before, or would ever be again. And the reason was not far to seek. She loved a man, and the fan of her choice had told her that sue was the one woman in the world for him. His arm had stolen round her waist, his lips had been pressed to hers, just tliere in that sweet old lane, in a niche in the hedge stolen from the fields. How strong he had seemed when his arms had tightened around her; how tall he appeared as her face had been upturned to his. And now they were sauntering lazily, languidly towards the old red farm, and he was telling her of his fight for fame and wealth. "You have tasted success early," she said. "I have read of other men who have had to work and wait for many years before they could even get their feet upon the ladder. You have been lucky, Francis." "I make my own iuck," he returned. '■•Other men fail because, as a rule, some sentimental weakness gets in their way and they yield to it, and mar or hinder their careers. I would never do that." "Not for the love of a woman—a good woman?" she whispered. ''Surely, ah! surely love—real love—is better worth having than fame." "Fame is very sweet to a man," he replied. "It represents the fruits of a life's work. I think fame is almost worth dying for." "Love is better," she said, speaking in a half-dreamy way. "Love will cling to a man when he is down and beaten. Fame may be worth dying for. I don't think it is myself; but I know that love is worth living for, and life is better than death." The next month was very happily spent. It was warm and gay and bright; not a cloud in the skies, and as the heavens were so were their lives. Then he had to go away to Paris, from Paris something took him to St. Petersburg, and she waited at the red farm near Leigh-011-Sea for his return. When he came again he was changed. She knew it before a word was spoken. Some subtle woman's sense within her told her that he had drifted away from. her. He tried to be lover-like, but the divine touch was wanting, and a pain that grew deeper and deeper as the days wore on crep into her heart. He did not talk of love now. His talk was all of ambition, of the place in the world he meant to win ,of thc name he intended to make. So she sent him away from her at last, not in anger, but with a sweet and gracious dignity that proved the worth of her womanhood. He tried to make her believe that he felt himself injured and aggrieved, hut she only smiled at him, though her smile was very wistful. "Do not make any pretence of .sorrow," she said gravely. "You are glad to go, and you know it. You have decided that love and ambition cannot walk hand in hand, and you have crushed love underfoot. Someday, perhaps, you may regret the choice you have made." That was the parting. He went to London to live with his sister, who was the wife of a wealthy stock-broker, and when he told her that his engagement with Alice Hawthorn was broken o ffshe praised his common sense. "You have a position to make in thc world, and a wife who is a "nobody" would only be a drag upon you, Francis. I don't doubt that sire was a worthy girl, but you have to marry either money or position—both if you can—or else your life will be as the lives of so many men of talent are, a weary grind from end to end." "She was a dear little girl," he said, in reply; 'and I think I loved her more than I shall ever love any other woman, rich or poor. But a mail who has to fight fate cannot afford to let sentiment interfere with his life." So he went his way thinking he was wise, but he did not know how strong to help the hand of a woman can be, in the hour of a man's struggle or defeat. The world has held many like him. Time, the healer, brought peace to thc bruised heart of Alice Hawthorn, peace and a great content, but to Francis Cotton it brought struggle and toil and many disappointments. The critics said he had talent, but no genius, and the fruit he longed for was just out of his reach always. Ambition was proving a hard, cold mistress, and an exacting one. He had to fight for the foothold he had won on the ladder of fame; there were so many others always crowding greedily for the spoils. One Sunday in summer, just such a Sunday as that on which our story opened, he made his way to Leigh-on-Sea. He did not know why; it was a sort of yearning for the past that took him there. After lunch at the old inn, he sauntered out toward the red farm. How well he remembered the way! He wondered if the people at the farm would remember him, and if they could tell him anything about her. Nothing seemed' changed; cows were in the meadows, geese were in the brook and—could his eyes be playing him false?—she was standing, much as on that other Sunday afternoon, leaning upon the fence looking at the crimson poppies in the corn. But this time she was not trying to reach them; neither poppies nor passion had any part of her life now. So they met after the years of parting, but no wthe longing was in his eyes, the flutter at his heart, not hers. "Is it too late?" he asked, as he was leaving her. "It is .too late," she made answer, and he turned sadly away to begin thc wooing of fame. At the stile he met the vicar, who greeted him cheerily, crying— "Ah! so it was you I saw talking to Lady Ashton, was it, my friend?" "I don't think I understand," he made answer. 'I don't know Lady Ashton. That was Miss Alice Hawthorn to whom I was speaking." "Bless my soul, man!" retorted the vicar; "where have you been all these ten years not to know that the lady who came amongst us for her health so long aso as simple Miss Alice Hawthorn was the young Countess of Everdale? Hawthorne was her mother's name, you understand; she is on eof the richest women in England. 'She is not married?" he asked, his face so white that the vicar feared the sun had touched him. "Oh, no, not married; and, somehow, I don't fancy she ever will marry. She does not seem to take kindly to the company of men." Francis Cotton went back to London that night, and as he sat modily in his smoking-carriage, he saw what he had lost—love, wealth, and title, and the greatest of these was love. That was the turning point in his career; from boyhood to manhood he had been supremely selfish. He had wanted to cut a figure in the world; nothing else had interested him; for the joys or sorrows of others he had cared not a jot. The loss of the woman he had loved made him turn his eyes inward upon his soul, and he saw that his selfishness had been his undoing. He left off dreaminb of fame and fortune, and went about his work earnestly. When he saw a chance to help others, he did it quietly and unostentatiously, and those who had known him formerly morvelled at the change. His work- improved in tone and force, until at last fame came to him as if by magic. He had written a book in tlle hope.that he might do some good to his fellow-men by exposing a great evil, and the critics with one voice cried out, "This is no common thing; this is genius." He smiled sadly when he read thc praise heaped upon him in thc daily press; smiled and went steadily onward One Swallow Does Not Make a Summer, But One Summer Makes ONE SWALLOW WHITE EOOK THE CHAMPAGNE OF TABLE WATERS.

He went amongst the poor, and picked up litie waifs who were homeless, and took them to a great farm he had established in the country, and gave the little ones every chance to become clean, strong men. These things brought him peace, but not happiness, for his heart was always yearning for ihe girl whom he had met in the fields of Leigh amidst the poppies, and he began to look old before his time. In his eyes there always seemed lo lurk a yearning sorrow, but his pain made him compassionate; he grew daily more and more pitiful towards other men who made failures of their lives. Bui he had no hope that love would ever come to him again. One evening, as he sat in his study at the farm, a lady entered quietly and unannounced. He rose with a startled cry when he saw her face, and his face looked white and drawn in the lamp- j lamplight, For a few seconds they stood in silence looking into each other's eyes. | "Why have you come?" he asked, his voice low and husky with pain. She did not answer him iu words, but a sweet blush mounted her checks, as she silently held out a cluster of poppies, fresh cut, and mixed with ripening corn. Great wonder filled his eyes for a moment, followed by a gleam of glad-, ncss; then without a word he took her I in his arms, and she drew his tired head upon her shoulder, and stroked the grey hairs lovingly, whilst llic poppies slipped from her fingers and lay at her! feet amidst the gathered com. \ For School Trustee To the Electors of Victoria : Ladies and Gentlemen:—I beg to announce myself as a candidate for the office of School Trustee, and I respectfully solicit your vote and influence.

The second spring has passed since. at a certain Dominion General Election, the voters of British Columbia were solemnly promised that, if they would only return Liberal candidates at the polls, immediate construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific eastward from the coast-line of British Columbia would follow as surely as night follows the •day. rj In considering this matter, it is worth while remembering that the above sacred promise was not only made by the Liberal candidates themselves. Had such been thc fact, the authorities at < Ottawa might easily have evaded the responsibility for broken pledges by claiming that these same pledges were made by local men to local audiences in the heat of political warfare; that the makers of thc said sacred pledges were men of straw, men of no backbone, men of easily-purchasable convictions—as, indeed^ the Sordid Seven have, in the past two years and a half, conclusively proved themselves to be— and that the Dominion Government was in no way bound by their promises. Such a course, though not honorable, would have been highly expedient, and would have been adopted with alacrity by .Sir Wilfrid and his followers had any opportunity offered. Unfortunately, however, in their eagerness to win the election, thc Liberal party themselves blocked up this convenient loop-hole for retreat—safe, if not honest—from thc performance of their pledges. Senator Win'. Templeman, a member of thc Dominion Cabinet then as now, and the leader of thc British Columbia Liberals, and thc lion. Raymond Prefontaine, cabinet minister and trusted colleague of Sir Wilfred Laurier, had each of them addressed large audiences from the platform in Victoria, Vancouver, and other various provincial towns giving the most solemn pledges that, if the British Columbia electorate gave its support to the Laurier Government in the forthcoming campaign, immediate construction, from the Pacific coast eastward, of that part of thc Grand Trunk Pacific Railway which was to traverse British Columbia would commence. There were no olher conditions attached to this attractive bait—no reservations as to time, no talk about necessary surveys, just a plain solemn promise. "Vote for Laurier and Immediate Construction" was the slogan. And the people of British Columbia swallowed the bait, and the seven constituencies of the province each returned a Liberal member, and sat down to wait for that "immediate construction." Their great reward was that, immediately after thc election, immediate construction was again promised That was more than two years and a half ago, and the people arc still waiting. It would appear that they arc likely to continue to wait. No word of explanation has ever come from Ottawa to account for the delay in the fulfilment of Sir Wilfred Lauder's sacred pledges. Worse 'still, the seven persons who were returned on 'he strength of these promises hare never attempted to enforce their fulfillment, have never asked a question on the subject in the House. Silence, it is said, is golden. So marked has been lire utter indifference shown in this matter by those whom the people of British Columbia sent to Ottawa to protect their interests that an entire stranger—one Chisholm, representing the constituency of hast Huron, far enough removed, one would think, irom British Columbia, was moved to rise in the Dominion House a few weeks ago, and ask when betrayed and deserted British Columbia was going to get the promised "immediate construction." Mr, Chisholm did not get any satisfaction out of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Nor did his reasonable curiosity get any support from the Sordid Seven. On the contrary, they looked) at each other in a frightened way, and thought of Somebody got an interview out of Air. Hays the other day. This, by the way, is that same Hays from whom the Honorable—thc very Honorable— vVilliani Templeman says he received a letter promising "immediate construction"; a letter so strong in its wording, and breathing sucn a spirit of straightforwardness and good faith that it moved Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Mr. Templeman, and the rest of the Ottawa cabinet to leave the interests of Britisli Columbia out of the Grand Trunk Pacific contract altogether. lt was felt in Ottawa, one gathered^ that the interests of British Columbia were safe in the hands of Mr. Hays. Perhaps they are. And again, perhaps they are not. At all events, they are in his hands all right, all right, together with Sir Wilfrid, his cabinet, a lot of land, and quite a few other things belonging to the people of Canada. In his hands! It almost sounds like a hymn, doesn't it? But, when interviewed on this much- discussed question a few days ago, Mr. Hays had nothing to say about "immediate construction." He said that there were surveys to be made. Very likely; but why were they not mentioned before, and why were they not made- say, about two and a half years ago^ for instance? When the surveys were made, continued Mr. Hays, construction in this province would probably commence. When? Oh, he could not say. And about how long would the surveys take to complete? Well, he did not exactly know, but the public could rest assured that tlie Grand) Trunk Pacific Railway Company would commence "immediate" construction in British Columbia as soon as it got good and ready—quite as soon. This closed the very important and satisfactory interview, whicli was telegraphed all over the country. Now, the object of the interview is plain enough to those "in the know," however much it may deceive the general public. No one knows better than Mr. Hays that all this talk about surveys is thc veriest clap-trap. Mr. Hays, if anything, is a practical railroad builder, and any competent engineer can inform him that, from Prince Rupert to the head of navigation on the Skeena river, only one route is available; and that, no matter which pass through the Rocky Mountains is finally decided) on, tliere is absolutely no possibility of there being any alternative route for the first two hundred .miles eastward from die terminus. For the past two years there has been no survey work done by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company in British Columbia. It is entirely in the hands of Mr. Hays when this survey work is begun, and—much more important—when it will be finished. Therefore Mr, Hays' statement about surveys is—bosh. The Week has, for over a year past, been asking an explanation from the Hon. William Templeman and his Ottawa colleagues in regard to these broken "immediate construction" pledges. There has been no reply. As remarked above, silence is golden. Just how golden it is in the case of the Sordid Seven will shortly be shown to the public by this journal. COMPLIMENTARY.

Nothing could more ddevoutly emphasize the appalling contrast between Mongolian and Saxon, nor could anything better illustrate the tolerance of the ruling race. Talking of the Chinese tempts me to tell of a dainty little maiden bom in Hong Kong of Chinese parents who has brightened the house in which 1 have the privilege of residing during the present week. She has been splendidly educated nd trained in a Roman Catholic convent in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. Her manners are perfect and she dresses like any English or Canadian girl. She speaks English with a pretty lisp—is travelling round the worLdi alone, and has millions. Whilst in Victoria she took in all the sights and spent her money lavishly. She left on Friday for Halifax, N.S., en route for Trinidad. Few Canadian girls could face such a tour with the confidence or treat its incidents with the courtesy and aplomb of this little maiden of eighteen. To avoid) the rush of enquirers I may say that she did not leave me her address. I notice that my chief sometimes criticizes the editorial work of the Vancouver World, and on such occasions has been known to make use of adjectives. These are as a rule both expressive and expletive which may account for their repetition by the Colonist whicli tells us in a recent issue that the editor of the Vancouver World "revels in the delights of gossip of any nature, but especially in gossip having a distinctly salacious flavor." Surely this is "confirmation strong as holy writ" and to the onlooker it is very amusing to see the Vancouver World try to get back at The Week through the medium of a reply to the Colonist.

I was asked the other day by a charming young lady whether I thought it quite the thing for a girl to go out sailing with a man to whom she was not engaged, and of whose real sentiments she was unaware. She resented the suggestion that this might be one of the best ways of finding out, and thought I did not treat the subject seriously. 'Why should I want to find out his sentiments," pountingly queried she. I then referred her to "Grandmother." She still refused to be pacified and declared that a writer in a society paper ought to be t-hle to advise on such a matter. But suggested I, "You will go in any case." Then I was declared a horrid thing. Naturally she went, but it did not result in an engagement, as Lord Aylmer will inspect the Sth Regiment C. A. curing the first week in camp.

The inhabitants of Bankhead, we are told, live in 'testefully designed little swell ings the company has built for its employees.' They all live in swell places at Bankhead." ISLAND STRAWBERRIES. The strawberries grown on V'ancou ver Island are noted throughout the West not only for their lusciousness, but for the still more remarkable fact that they are on the market about three weeks earlier than any others in the Province. When Kelowna was rejoic ing over three ripe ones Victoria was distributing luscious berries by the basket full. Unless we are mistaken Vancouver Island holds the record in the Dominion for early fruit and flowers. PALMAM QUI MERWIT. George Horstead of Nelson is well known in East Kootenay as one of the later settlers who has done good work and earned universal respect. He has just been appointed manager of the local opera house by W. B. Sherman of Calgary, who has placed it on his circuit. George will do all that can be done locally to promote the success of the Thespian art. SEVERAL PIPE DREAMS. According to the Vancouver World several Canadians including John McKane, who contested Kootenay in 1900, and Dr. Bowes of Rossland have raked ill millions at Goldficld, Nevada. As large a sum as $10,000,000 is credited lo the former. This is a pipe dream. The Week is in a position to state that six months ago neither of these gentlemen were even nush—all their wealth was Chilliwack is all right; i£, "potential"—it lay buried in minera lu doubt it ask Charlie Munro.

Unfortunately the attraction is a trilie late in the year for public approbation, but far outweighing this is the value in entertainment that is offered, and the circumstance that such a combination as the programme presents could not possibly have been secured earlier or held over until a later date. It had to be now or never with regard to a hearing of the celebrated Riedelsberger String Quartette and also Miss Olivia Dahl (of whose splendid performance as a singer The Week spoke last Saturday), both these attractions being engaged on lour, and soon to leave the Coast to fill their respective road engagements—for in Victoria alone are they to be heard together. In addition the Arion Club, under whose auspices the concert is being arranged to celebrate the ending of the club's fourteenth season, will give a number of their popular choruses under the direction of Mr. E. Howard Russell, B.A. The one dollar price scale, it is understood, "has been adopted, in order that no one need miss the treat on thc score of expense, and as one of the daily papers has aptly put it, the evening of the 19th will be a veritable "bargain day" in musical entertainment. With the quality of Miss Olivia Dahl and that of the Arion Club, Victorians are already familiar. The former, since its establishment through Ihe efforts of that line artist, the late William Grieg, has been noted for musicianly accomplishments and a strong factor in the advertisement of this city as a centre of culture and art appreciation. Miss Dahl has been heard here once—and all who heard her sing on that occasion will go again to hear her —and again and again, so often as she may be induced lo sing for them, such is the charm of her voice and her method. The Quartette, the leading feature of tiie coming concert, is new, however, to Victoria, lt may be said that it is the only organization of its kind west of Chicago, taking the same place in Western territory that the Kniesel Quartette docs in thc East. The leader and first violin is Herr Karl Riedelsberger, late leader of the Kocnigsberg (Prussia) Symphony Orchestra, and more recently concert master of Theodore Thomas' orchestra, a pupil of Max Erode, and one of the most notable performers of Germany. Sydney Brown, a Londoner, is the second violin, studying under Frye Parker at the famous Guildhall School of Music, and later with Silt and Brodsky ,the pre-eminent masters of violin instruction. He was for a time director of ihe Opera Comiquc ill London, and came to America for a touring engagement which he is now filling. Many of his compositions have been published with marked success, and the quartette of which he is a member is featuring a string quartette from his pen. F.duard Busch, the viola player, also absorbed his musical education in London and Licpsic, his teachers being Schradick, Hcrrman, Reinecke, Jadassohn and Richter. He is best known in America, perhaps, as a member of thc great Philadelphia and Pittsburg Symphony Orchestras, and besides being a notable viola player is a celebrated flutist. Erwill Gastel, the 'cello player, is another artist of profound and scholarly knowledge, thc son of Emil Gastel, a singer, chorus director, and teacher of national repute. M. Gastel studied hi Dresden, and in America has also been a leading figure ill the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. David Proctor and Companj scored a triumph in "A Message from Mars" at Victoria and Vancouver this week. He played lo crowded and enthusiastic houses. At the Victoria Theatre the Lyceum Stock Company terminated their engagement on Saturday last. For the coming week thc Hawaiian Band is thc attraction on Wednesday. Sterling Silver Novelties are always greatly appreciated as Wedding and other gifts; they are most useful and ornamental and will last for generations as mementoes of the happy event. Space only admits of our showing a few out of the many deigns we have in our showrooms. CHALLONER & MITCHELL Jewelers and Silversmiths. 47-49 GOVERNMENT STREET VICTORIA. c. m; i 198 J. R.

New and delightful ideas are literally crowding upon us with almost bewildering profusion. The shop are so full of beautiful things that one scarcely knows where to begin in describing them. The reproach that we are wanting in artistic leeling can no longer be cast at us as a nation, for we are rapidly advancing in the vanguard of the art world and especially in the art of house furnishings. Talking of art reminds me that Persian rugs are the "dernier cri" of fashion at present. Real antique ones are, of course, fabulously expensive, and quite too lovely to be trodden by the unhallowed foot of the modern infidel, Their place nowadays is not the floor but the wall, wnere they are more effective than any picture especially if the wall be panelled. There the exquisite richness of their silk texture and wondrous coloring can be seen to perfection, every glint of sunshine making the old, mellow Oriental colors sparkle like jewels; and there they can also be preserved from wear and tear, for their like will never again be made. But to-day in the midst of the Persian desert, in the city of Herman audi in the Governor's palace of that city, rugs arc manufactured by skilled wool workers whicli are marvellously faithful copies of the old prayer rug made in Persia more than 3 centuries ago. They are exceedingly beautiful, woven in the finest Kernian wool—which is particu larly long and silky—and soft and durable. The designs—chiefly of plants, flow ers and birds—are charmingly graceful, more natural, and less geametrical than most Oriental patterns. They are, of course, infinitely less costly than the real antiques, of which they are excellent copies. I sometimes think that never again in the history of man, will tliere be such artists in color and design as those Persians of long ago, who weaved the first prayer mats and rugs. Apropos, have you seen Weiler Bros.' dis- jilay of Persian and Turkish rugs, ham- ^nd Oriental fittings gen- Jell you that it indeed come over the spirit of our areains; u.e country collate nas come into lasmon and tne meal existence nas ueen generally voiecl a small House 111 town, aiiui a wee couoge 111 some iar away Secluued Uay Willi a lirst rate ingn- powered motor (a Russell preierreu) as the connecting link. Have you ever been in a roller skating rime? 1 have and I think it is great fun; the next tune you go to Vancouver be sure and taice in the roller skating rink on Pender street. Many up-to-date firms are at present exhibiting dainty silken pyjamas against a background of gauzy "lingerie." An inoffensive male who ventured in to inquire the price was informed that "this is not the gentlemen's department." and lied before tlle assistant could direct him. 'these artistic sleeping suits have replaced the "robe de ntiit" in the hearts of the fair sex, and I am told that a lady of fashion has just ordered half a dozen pyjama suits to be made in the palest shades of silk hand embroiiuiered with flowers. Lace continues to be ubiquitous aud is, indeed, indispensable to all the more dressy frocks. A graceful princess robe in pale tan cloth had a guipure blouse with a quaint cross-over fichu of cloth encrusted with motifis of the guipure, the ends of the fichu being caught just below the waist with cloth and velvet buttons. The "sauciest" of chiffon turbans in dull blue with a cluster of shaded blue feathers and a single rose completed a very charming ensemble. We have long since grown accustomed to see lace dyed every imaginable color and fashion's fancy nas now evolved two new and somewhat curious tints simulating more celestial than soot or smoke and known respectively as "suie" and "fumee" in the Franch fashion papers. Cream gauge de soi with a pompadour flowering of small black spots and little pink blossoms supplied the material for one of the most pascinat- ing of evening gowns. The full skirt of the gown in question was gathered in simply to the waist, a narrow panel of blond lace adorning the front, while little frills of gauze de soie edged with narrow blond lace finished* the hem. The rounded neck of the low bodice was outlined with fallings of the same lace relieved with a narrow roll of pale green taffetas, while the front of the corsage was covered with hand embroidery in a singularly beautiful leaf design.

I was glad to see that the man with he "rubber cap" (the only rubber cap n town, I am told) was fined $5.00 ir he police court for driving a motor at he rate of 30 miles an hour along Government street. Not that I blame thi nan; mind you, for the excitement and he risk of danger must have been glori- ius. ' But "misery loves company,' 'and t cost me' just $5.00- to get out of tlv vay of that machine and man. I sa nem coming and a feeling of dangei lossessed my soul; for my "corner' vas not the safest place just then, and made a dash for the pavement; for- letting, of course that it was Satur- lay night, with its usual mob of late hoppers, and the inevitable sleeping iaby in a "pram." I don't know any- hing about domestic arrangements, not icing a married man, but I do often render why some young mothers in- ariably take their infants shopping ite Saturday nights. However, in luy 'ild rush for safety, I came, in no genie contact with a pram, which cost me 5.00 to repair the next day. By thc ray, the babe was unhurt and slept eacefully on, while the front wheel ew in opposite directions. No doubt he sudden jar made him think he was earing home, and just then going over ome of the undulations in the road >r which the lower end of Douglas nd Government streets are noted. While I lounged one day last week It a well known bank corner, where the T/indow boxes are ladened with th< lich deep bloom of scarlet geraniums Ind lobelia, audi heavy with misty look fig creepers, I chanced upon a strange little incident. Can anyone tell me why Ihis particular bank has bedecked it windows with boxes ? This corner, any low, has always had a fascination for Iue and I frequently while away a part Jf an hour in its vicinity. The day in luestion while I gazed at the chatter- lig crowd of busy shop girls wending llieir way to luncheon, my eyes rel' Ipon an attractive looking girl who hac' lust taken up her position near the end Jrindow-box, evidently waiting for the fcsquimalt car.
