An Iron and Steel Industry HE thanks uf the community nre duo to His Worship, the Mayor, and to the Industrial Commissioner for having arranged for a public mooting at whieh the subject of an und stool industry for Vancouver Island could lie discussed. The ■ting wus hold in the City Hull on Tuesday afternoon and tho mdnnco evidenced considerable interest in the subject. There mny Old Countrymen there who knew from experience the ue of such an industry und how it was, in fact, the foundation he manufacturing prosperity of the Motherland, lt is gratifying mow that the data submitted convinced such authorities as Colonel )r, the President, and Mr, Lugrin, tlie Vice-President of the rd of Trade, that a prima facie case lind been made nut. These demon are both competent and critical. Colonel Prior has been ciatetl with mining and with various phases of the iron industry bis life, and Mr. Lugrin is nn omnivorous render, nnd a keen c of everything pertaining to trade and commerce. When these lemon, whose remarks were received by the meeting with apse, expressed their satisfaction at, the data and arguments ad- id, there is surely ample justification for endeavouring to carry matter further. Three pertinent questions were asked nnd con- voly answered iu the affirmative. Hare sufficient quantities of ore of suitable quality been protfen upon, or adjacent lo, Toner Island lo justify the establishment of a sleA industry'! 'Have 'mde returns actually demonstrated thai there is a sufficient mar- In guarantee the establish ment nf a commercial null nf the inn 'ting industry'.' Can- iron be manufactured at such a cost under ting conditions as mnuid leave a reasonable margin of profit? ing into consideration only ore actually proven, Mr, Blakemore able to quote from the official report of such eminent authorities rofessor Liudemann, Mr, Horace V. Winchell, Mr. R. E. Hedley Mr. Thomas Kiddie to show that on Texada Island alone proven ranged from a possible minimum of ten million tons to a possible liinuin of sixty million tons; thnt this oro was higher in metallic i and lower in phosphorus and sulphur than the average ores 1 by the United States Steel Corporation; that pig iron from this [had been produced at the Irondale furnace paying tho Western idiird rale of wages, at $16.50 a ton; that this pig iron had been ed down into steel and used for a variety of purposes throughout Stales, and had elicited the highest encomiums, including a cer- <!ite from the United States naval authorities to the effect Ihnl. pinto nesd on the U. S. 8. Nebraska made from Texada ore was best that hud been used in the Nnvy. From those facts atid the [tional one Ihat Iho actual trade returns show a consumption of )00 tons of pig iron per annum within llie radius whieh would bo trolled by u Vancouver Island smelter, and with an ever expanding nnd, it will he seen thnt the three questions are answered. To nothing of Iho important iron deposits at Campbell River, where million Ions of ore are ready for shipment and taking the limnm estimate of the engineers for Texada Island ore, it will jeon that there is sufficient to guarantee ore for the production of hundred tons of pig iron por day (that being the lowest com- i'cial unit) for a period of thirty or forty years. It will be seen as such commercial unit would produce less than 40,000 tons of iron a year, there is already a market for two units, so that the ihlishme'nt of one would he a safe commercial proposition. As to margin of profit, Professor Galloway and Professor Winchell i estimate a maximum cost of $14 to $16 a ton. The production hondale furnace was $15.50, which demonstrates the accuracy of ir estimate. The cheapest coke pig iron delivered at the Coast ,es from Ashland, Wisconsin, and costs today $25.40 a ton. The •gin therefore is ample, even if it were considerably reduced hy .petition. There aro many other phases of this subject which Id be discussed and which will have to be dealt with when the iter comes to ho thoroughly investigated. But enough has heen ionst;rated to justify an organized effort to give Vancouver Island :ono industry which would make her permanently prosperous. This not be done without tho assistance of the Government. The Col- it suggests that it is a matter for the Trade and Commerce De- tment of the Dominion Government, and possibly on that phase of the question The Colonist is right, but The Week ventures to suggest that the more important matter is to place the authority of tho Provincial Government, which owns all our minerals, and which is directly concerned in the development of our natural resources, behind an authoritative report on the extent, character and suitability of the raw material which we possess and which would be required in an iron industry. When this has been done it will be time enough to develop the commercial side of tho question. There has been no exhaiisive investigation into the iron ore deposits of British Columbia. Beyond occasional monographs from members of the Dominion Geological Department, most of whieh have been of a cursory character, and the more extensive investigations made and paid for by private linns, there is no available data on the subject and in any event the investing public would prefer that the Government imprimatur should be stamped upon any report dealing with tho subject of natural resources. In the interest of the development of Vancouver Island, in tho general interest of the trade and commerce of British Columbia and possibly as a necessity arising out of the rapid displacement of coal by fuel oil to the considerable curtailment of the coal market, The Week believes that no time should be lost in dealing with this important question on a large scale and in an authoritative manner, The House of Hapsburg EVERYONE is familiar with the philosophy of the wisest of men and his prediction as to the fate of those who appeal to the arbitrament of the sword. In principle, if not de faclu. the lamentable end of the Archduke, Ferdinand, is another and a striking verification of this truth. It is not necessary to dwell ou the ill luck which has dogged the footsteps of the House of Hapsburg. Its history for the last half century has been a case of disaster ever following fast and following faster. For twenty years the venerable figure of the Emperor, Francis Joseph, has been a pathetic as it has been dignified. Bereft by violence of wife, of son and now of heir, he survives; the embodiment of the tragedy of his dynasty. He is beloved by his own people and the attitude of the world towards him is that of respectful veneration, but around him tho clouds of horror never cease to roll and from their inky depths the livid flash never ceases to emerge and strike. For a decade the world has wondered what will happen when Francis Joseph lays down the sceptre of empire. The dread portent bus boon repeatedly signalized and is again emphasized by the assassination id' Ferdinand. Well may Europe dread his demise, for it will mean that the various sections of the Austrian Empire, which have been bold together alone by his personal influence will full asunder, each lo pursue its own traditional policy) unless, and here lies the greater danger, the dominating influence of the German Kaiser determines that the moment to strike a blow at Slavonic solidarity has arrived. It is impossible not to attribute such assassinations us that of the Archduke Ferdinand to Slavonic resentment at the forcible annexation of Bosnia and llerzogoviniii hy Austria. Russia will never forget that this was done in the moment of her humiliation and weakness, when, crippled by defeat at the hands of the conquering Japanese, she was unable to render any effective protest; nor will Russia readily forget that if the annexation was Austrian, the policy was German, and that Francis Joseph was literally pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for tho Kaiser Wilhelm. The unholly alliance of Germany and Austria in this matter must either be further cemented nn tlie death of Francis Joseph, in which case it is not too much to anticipate an oven closer union than thnt nf alliance, or his demise will mean disintegration and the not improbable absorption of the Northeastern provinces by Germany. Whilst reprobating in the most unmeasured terras an atrocity which antagonizes civilization, it is impossible not to realize that it, was the outcome of an autocratic and opportunist policy of aggrandisement. Household Economics ON MONDAY the women of Victoria formed a strong organization, under the presidency of Mrs. G. L. Foulkes. for the purpose of studying household economics and incidentally of effecting sonic sensible reduction in lhc enst id' living. The Week is in entire sympathy with ihe movement. Whether il will continue to bo iii sympathy wilh iho organization depends upon lhe policy and methods adopted. There is, however, nn reason to doubt, judging from the very admirable addresses which lhe president has delivered on several occasions, that the organization will carry wilh it the sympathy and support of all who look beneath the surface of the subject. To study involves to probe and to understand. The causes of the present high cost of living arc not superficial; some of them are world-wide and are due to conditions which an organization in Victoria can do nothing to affect. In any mutters in which world movements play an important part a local organization must be futile. But there are many things whieh we can do for ourselves, quite independently of tho rest of tho world, and while it may ho a good thing for .Mrs. Foulkes' organization to study the broader aspects of the question, it is quite as necessary that it should tnke practical steps to deal witli local issues. It is no good bewailing lhc fact lhe cost of living is high; it must be remembered that Ihe Western standard is high, and that the people of the West will nol; willingly lower it. None of us would, if we could, accept conditions of fifty years ago, under which mnny of us were reared. Wc should consider it tho greatest hardship to eat the same simple fare. In dress as plainly, to live with the same sanitary conditions and to submit tn the same inconveniences in respect of water supply and heat. The principle can bo extended. Victoria would not go back to her un- paved and dusty streets; she would not williuggly sacrifice her green and shady boulevards; we would not even be content wilh Iho simple methods of education which prevailed in the part, and so on, all along the line. And yet changed conditions in all these respects cost money, and as our demands keep increasing and our standard rising they necessarily cost more. The practical question is, what can we do, first of all to get these things, which we have now come to regard as essentials, at a reasonable price, ami, secondly what ean we do to cut down costs which arc unreasonable. The Week believes that tlie answer to these questions is not far to seek and, indeed, is already known to the leaders of the organization just formed. But household economics are like science; they must be applied to be of any practical use. For instance, many of our household necessaries, which are articles of food, are dear because they are imported; they will become cheap when they are produced nearer home. We shall never see chcop butter, milk, eggs, vegetables and meat, which constitute nearly all our staples of food, until wc are able to develop the agricultural industry close to our doors. In a country in which land clearing is so costly this will never be done entirely by private enterprise; it will have to be done nn the same system as in New Zealand and Australia, viz.: by Government assistance, by the advancing of reasonable sums of money to settlers on the security of their lands, and by nn organized system of land clearing by the Government; whieh can do it much cheaper than it ean be done by private enterprise. The second general line of practical, applied household economics is entirely in the hands of our women-folk now. It is to be less luxurious and more thrifty; to use the telephone less and the street car more; to "forecast" a little and order in advance. Many Victoria housewives quadruple the cost of delivering their goods by ordering four times a day instead of once; they would reduce this cost still further if they would take the trouble to go out and do their'own shopping, select their own goods, pay cash, over the counter, demand their exact change and a discount for cash. They are keen enough to get out before eight o'clock in the morning and submit to the grossest indignities of crowding and scrambling whenever there is a "bargain counter" snle. with a prospect of saving a dollar; but they will have to be educated up to the point of going out and doing their ordinary shopping, nn every dollar of which an appreciable saving can be made by the exercise of a little personal rroublo. As excellent an authority as Jlrs. II. (', Haningtou stated in the public press lnsl week, that nu an experimental trip she had saved a dollar on nn expenditure of eightdollars by shopping on the lines suggested. These may appear to lie the trifles of household economics, they are in reality the things that count; they are within our own control, nnd if Mrs. Foulkes' orgniiizntion does nothing better for the community thnn educate its women-folk to do their own shopping, as their mothers did, il will mure llinn justify its existence. The Chinese Murder ease THE CHINESE BOT who murdered Mrs. Millard has been found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to penal servitude for life. The Week hns always disagreed with the verdict of manslaughter, and while it has no desire to impute anything but the best of good faith to the Assize jury, it cannot but feel that its own attitude has been strengthened by the remarks of Mr. Justice Gregory when pronouncing sentence. He stated that ho disagreed with the verdict of the jury, nnd felt that the crime wns murder. Ho failed lo find any extenuating circumstances; he characterized the crime ns "almost unparalleled in ils cunning and ferocity," and imposed lhe maximum sentence. The Week is quite unable to understand how the jury arrived at its verdict. To do so it must, have believed implicitly in the statement of lhe prisoner, because his offence was uncorroborated in any single particular. Under ordinary circumstances and without the slightest evidence of extenuation it would have been impossible for lbe most able counsel to have secured a more favourable verdicl than ihat nf murder. When a victim is murdered and dismembered, purls nf the body destroyed, with nil the cunning nnd forocity of a congenital and experienced criminal: when n prisoner admits that he did all ibis and llinl he .lid il because ho wns afraid of his victim; when ho pleads in extenuation llinl his lirst blow wns not intended to bo fatal, and ihal what followed was unpremeditated, and due In the fuel that he hud accidentally killed his victim, it would be quite easy in assume that all this was bill a plausible pretext; nml oven now there is nn evidence ihal il is mure. Ilnwever, tho jury snw lil to decide otherwise und John Kong, uged seventeen, has received the severest sentence short of capital punishment which could bo inflicted. In view of lhe language of the learned judge it is to bo hoped Ihnl there will be nn maudlin sentiment aroused by the case, and nn attempl tn secure a mitigation nf tlie punishment, The Ontario Elections IT IS nnt lo be windered at llinl llie Victoria Times published a jeremiad on the result nf lhe Ontario elections. There is nothing more annoying than lo Ihink you have hitched your chariot to a star nnd find thai il is only hitched to a "slick" whieh comes down wilh n nasty linnl. The Victorin Times affected I" believe Ihat Ontario was tired of Sir James Whitney and all his works nml was ready to turn In Ibe interesting nnd youthful acolyte who cnrried lhe lamp nf the Liberal party, nnd, incidentally, tbe banner of reform. It nearly lost its acolyte, for only by lbe narrowesl majority was Ihis gnnd young man saved from defeat, But the saddest blow of nil is the one which The Times wilh unusual frankness nnd sin- eerily loudly bewnils, viz.: lhe disaffection of "Toronto the Good." ft pathetically remarks that it is "surprised at Toronto," and goes on to say: "The numerous sermons launched from Ihnt austerely beautiful city againsl Ihe intemperance nnd licentiousness of the (Continued on Last Pnprc) Page Two THE WEEK Saturday, July 4, _v_u At The Street Corner BY THE LOUNGER PEOPLE ure still to be found in llie land who express surprise nt tlie nisi amounts which are spent iinniinlly on advertising. I am frequently asked whether I believe in advertising, hul 1 feci that my opinion in tliis matter is largely biassed. It is nol unnatural that I should believe that a weekly paper circulating in select circles offers the most valuable advertising space open to the public, and that I should scoff at the idea of anyone wasting money on placing sheet advertising on hoardings. Tlie other dny, however, the value of the latter method of bringing goods before tlie public eye was well illustrated in this very city of Victoria. Lot me tell you the story. It is n pathetic one and deals with a mother giving her little son instruction in Imperial history. He was but a "toddler" and she thought it well to start at the fountain head, and so she asked him who King George wns. .The answer was prompt, if disconcerting. "Why, he's the man who makes Hie whisky that father drinks." Truly this was a triumph for the advertising genius who presides over the publicity department of a certain brand of Scotch, but il was a somewhat unfortunate prelude lo a history lesson. * One wonders how many hoys and girls nre imbued witli the same bc- •lief! It is nn astonishing fact that the majority of men and women who studied history in their school days ure very well informed on all matters which look place before the accession of Queen A'ictorin, but have only a superficial knowledge of tlie events which made her reign nnd that of her illustrious successor famous. Somehow or other history always seemed to end witll the battle of Waterloo, and though one llook a cursory glance through Hie period covered by the reigns of George IV. am) William IV., interest subsided after the defeat of Napoleon, nnd next term one went right back to William the Conqueror. Of course llie renl reason for this was to be found ill the fact that so much of importance took place subsequently to 1815 that but little stood forth in hold relief, and it wns far easier for the teacher to lake il for granted that every child knew what happened in the reign of the then reigning monarch and to turn buck to the old familiar ground of the Norman Conquest, the Wars of the Hoses nnd the Great Rebellion, Ihan to make himself acquainted with events whicli lie had never studied as a child nnd of which he was, for the most part, profoundly in ignorance. The very text hooks of history ten yenrs ngo dismissed tiie first fifty years of Queen Victorin in a few pages wherein events were strung together in Hie most uninteresting fashion, nnd the consequence wns that the average schoolboy could give a very coherent account of the batlle of Crecy, together with the date, hut knew absolutely nothing of the three Reform Rills of the lOlh century, and based whal knowledge he hail of Ihe Indian mutiny and lhe Crimean War on what tlie late Mr. Monty hnd written on the subjects. You know we all have an idea Hint history stopped when we were born. The newspapers are fond of encouraging us in Ihis belief, and insist thai liual judgment on n certain course of action ur on the merits of a great' statesman musl be left to posterity, and we naturally got into Hie wny of thinking Hint Insiory is no longer in Hie making, or if, we go so far as to realize Hint it is, wc think it useless to take more than a passing interest in it, because pos- . terity alone can tell whether we are doing right or wrong. Whatever is past is great and important; whatever is present is ephemeral and valueless. We are brought up to believe thai nil the great men oicd long ago and that modern man is n pygmy. We have no orniors, we are told; no statesmen, and no great generals to compare with the Marl- boroughs and the Wellingtons of the past. This week I have had occasion to search through ancient fyles of The Week, and 1 snid lo myself flint in those dnys we hud a fine paper, with magnificent articles written by the Lounger and great displays of valuable advertising. Just because these papers belong to n dead and gone age they seem really good, and yet I remember that they seemed puny enough in ihose days and at present The Week is still alive and kicking, thank you, and our generals, statesmen and orators seem quite sufficient to the times, lt would be a good thing if wc could manage to slough the idea thnt achievement lies in the past and not in the present and the future. Ai At last we seem to have come into our own as regards hveathet'. It was a thousand pities that the storms which ushered it in should have fallen upon the very days for which the Rose Festival at Mt. Adelaide had been arranged, but such accidents will happen occasionally and now it would seem that we are to enjoy the bright, warm days which are our due at this time of the yenr. The change comes at the right time, too, just as the holidays are beginning nnd arrangements have been made for swimming instruction to be given the children nt the Gorge Park. It ought to he quite unnecessary to urge that every child who cannot yet swim he made to attend these classes during the holidays, and yet I am afraid that the summer may draw to n close with some few boys nnd girls still helpless in the water. To my mind it is the duty of all parents to see to it that their children can swim; there is absolutely no excuse for this not being done; it costs nothing and the children are in safe hands during their course of instruction. Hy the close of tlie summer there should not be one child attending school who cannot swim. Here is n question of street car ethics ou which I should like nn opinion. Not long ago, as some nf my readers mny remember, n sliorl story nppenred in The Week entitled "The Usurper," which told of n workingman who rudely occupied the sent whicli n gentleman in n crowded car had vncnled to oblige a lndy. Lnst Saturday I wns standing up in a grossly over-crowded Uplands car, nnd in front of mc were two ladies nlso standing. A gentleman sitting well up in front rose from' his seat, hut in the meantime each lady had found u sent elsewhere. The courteous gentleman, not noticing that his notion wns n work of supererogation, moved right up lo the front of Iho car and stood facing Ihe passengers, hut he wns by this time well removed from his sent, there being three or finir men between him nnd it. Just in front of the empty sent slood n mnn entirely oblivions to the com- forlnhle quarters in his renr. I snw the empty sent, so did my neighbour standing beside inc. I saw in the hitler's eye thnt he hnd no compunction in Hiking possession, so I didn't give him n chnnce, but just stepped forward and snuggled in without the poor fellow standing with liis arm ou lhe buck of the sent in front being nwnre of whnt he hnd lost. The* T caught the eye of Hie original holder of the seal, nnd 1 ail mi t Hint f blushed. Hul 1 couldn'l hnve let the oilier mini tnke the sent, could 1? Or should I hnve stood on principle, as well as ou Ihe ear floor? I was glnd to see the city being lioisl with ils own petard in the matter of thistles, Doubtless there nre many plnees where it should he made to pay a line for allowing weeds and other noxious herbs to grow on its own property, but at present I nm chiefly interested in n little matter of herbage growing on the city side of foul Hay Rond close to its junction with Onk Hay Avenue. Walk- ing pnsl Hint spol last Sunday, I noticed that n householder had literally lorn a garden from the wild nnd had made a nice lawn right up lo lhe edge of liis holding. Immediately bordering on Ihis lawn, for there wns nn fence, wns tlie city rondwny flanked hy an untidy growth of grass und weed. The Streets Committee might well look inlo this, for we enn linrdly expect householders to brenk their hacks in beautifying their lots hy making picturesque gardens if the roadway is to bc allowed to grow rank with weeds alongside. Such things give n chnnce to blaspheme to every passing LOUNORR. PERSONALITY THERE is not a cricketer in Victoria who is not acquainted with Crawford Contes, for during the live or six yenrs which he hns spent in Hie Capital City he has nlwnys been at the forefront of the Cricket Brigade. Tliis is as it should be when one remembers that he once belonged to the greatest cricketing team on this Continent, the Philadel- phians, hud in his day wns nccouiited one of llieir best batsmen nnd fielders. In 1894 I happened to be in Halifax during the cricket week and snw the Philadelphia tenm under the enptnincy of King piny u Halifax XI. Contes wns on the visiting tenm nud I slinll never forget the stylish milliner in whicli he butted, nor his quickness nnd reliability on the field. He still returns sonic of the former clinr- ncteristics, for, although be must he accounted a veteran, nnd at times is prevented by indisposition from doing himself justice, he can still be relied on, when it is his dny out, for a good score. He hnd such a day once lnst season when playing ngninst the Gnrrison tenm on their own ground. I never snw n mnn enjoy himself more; in n few overs he had the bowling collared nnd from thnt point plnyed everything thnt enme witli confidence nnd skill, nnd with some of the old-time style which is none too much in evidence nowndays. He ran up 76, if I remember rightly, and was the means of winning the match. What I like about Coates' batting is thnt he plays correctly, he does not "pull;" he is not limited in his strokes; he enn " slip," " cut" nnd "drive" with eqnnl felicity, and in this respect is n pattern to all our younger batsmen. I believe he has been cherishing one unfulfilled ambition, nnd thnt is once more to make a century. He hns n presentation bat on whicli is n little silver shield bearing the mystic figures 14fi. I think if Coates could knock up three figures once more he would be perfectly happy. He is copnble of doing it and I only hope Hint be will do it in this, whieh is evidently n senson of 'phenomenal scores. In nddition to his personal prowess on the field, Crawford Contes hns rendered invaluable service as secretary of the Pacific Const Cricket Association nnd the B. C. Cricket Association. He gives unlimited time to correspondence nnd to orgniiizntion, nnd is well entitled to be regarded ns the Dean of the cricketing fraternity. As n citizen he is extremely popular, enjoying public confidence nnd n reputation for professional skill. Although not identified with nny of our largest public buildings, his services hnve been requisitioned very widely in connection with resi dential property, and to-day he is a recognized authority on the architecture of llie attractive home. Like every good cricketer, Crawford Contes is a °wd sportsman nud a good citizen—mure power to his elbow I A small boy who was sitting next to a very haughty lady in a crowded omnl- hus kept on sniffling 111 a most annoying manner. At last the lady could boar It no longer, and turned to the lad. "Boy, have you got a handkerchief?" she demanded. The small boy looked at her for a few seconds, and then, in a dignified tone, came the answer: "Yes, I 'ave, but I don't lend it to strangers.—Argonaut, "Ske went upstairs to bed, wishing her husband were alive; but after a llttle weak whisky und water and a biscuit, she concluded that lie was no doubt happier In a aphero whore no tabic manners were necessary, for he had remained to the lust constitutionally unable to eat jelly with a fork, or to balance a teacup and a plate of bread and butter on his knees while using his pocket-handkerchief." — Gay Morning, by J. 13, Buekroso.

Indeed, ou such an im- ability which would well belit a Court, orlant occasion lhe disinterested on- of Appeal at the heart of the Empire, inker could hardly help regretting It seems almost trivial to say that nit so vital a question was not being there could have been no sterner re- undled By one of the recognized bnke and no more convincing refutu- mdors of the Bar.

Mr. Bird unkly confessed Ihal Ihe tusk io big for him, and threw liimse nnsiderulion of the court, pro filing his most important argument lhe form of n typewritten inemor- ldum. Whal the observer was most struck ith was the nigged manner in which ! argument was presented. This s probably due to haste, for which iiinsel were not responsible, but as is certain Hint the matter will go fore the Supreme Court of Canada lould the appeal be dismissed, there still time for the grenl constitution- l argument to be properly presented. I'hc points made by counsel for the ppenl were, lirst, that the immigrn- on orders exceeded the provisions of ,io Immigration Act; second, that lhc lovernor-Oenerul-in-Council had gone byond what the Act authorized, specially in imposing penalties such s the $2(10 line on immigrants who ■ould not otherwise be disqualified nun entering; third, that in ruling ml Miiushi Singh was a labourer lhe inniigrnliiin Courl had arrived ut un icon-eel decision in Hint Hie only evi- enco before the court showed Ihal e wns a fanner and not a labourer; mirth. Ihal il was nol within the com- elency either of llie Govornor-Gen- rnl-in'-Council or of lhe Canadian 'iirlinmeiit to discriminate againsl irilish subjects. On lhe lalter point Ir. Bird elaborated a lengthy and in- eresling argument, based upon the ontention Ihal all sovereign power i the Britisli Empire rested originnl- C in the King, and that nil such overeign power as he had not already elegnted to olhers, slill rested in imself; that neither through the in- Irumeiilnlily of the British North .merienn Act, nor any other Act hnd e delegated to the Canadian Purlin- lent the right to legislate against the nniigration nf Brilish subjeels; that bnsequently the immigration authori- ies nnd tho Canadian Government U exceeded their rights, and the ppellnnt, Mnnslii Singh, had been Improperly deprived of his liberty.

An Anglo-Banian Naval Alliance After having expressed nervous fears regarding tbe rumours of a prospective An6io-B.uss|an naval alliance, the eminent German political writer, Herr Theodore Wolff, has now admitted in the Berliner Tageblatt that the matter is of no concern for Germany. "We are no more interested," he remarks, "than a casual spectator who should receive a toy balloon on his head." It ls to be Presumed that the subtle irony of tlie "toy balloon" ls meant as a sneer at the negligible value of the Russian navy. Herr Wolff, however, may tranquillize Ids ruffled spirits on learning that tnere Is no offieial authority for the stutc- meiit that a British naval alliance with Russia Is in contemplation. In any case, tlie report should serve admirably the purpose of Admiral vou Koester, Admiral Breuslng and other pan-Germans as a pretext for demanding more ships and men. Municipal Precedence The little dispute between the Lord Mayor of London (representing the ancient square mile of the city of London) and the chairman of the London County Council (Lord Peel, representing all London outside the square mile and Incidentally a population of about six millions) as to who should take precedence lit ceremonial gatherings in Paris will remind some of the city fathers of Manchester of nn amusing difficulty on a similar point when they, with delegations from other English and some Scottish municipalities went over to Prance to help the entente oordiaie. The idea of an interchange of visits between the civic representatives of the great cities of the two countries was born in Manchester, and, Manchester having been the lirst to entertain the delegates from Lyons, tlie Manchester delegates claimed precedence for their Lord Mayor. But the Glasgow delegates would have none of this. They claimed the privilege of the big brother. Glasgow, they said, came lirst as the biggest city represented on the delegation. And then Edinburgh put in the claim of n city whicli is tlie capital of a famous country. Tbe triangular problem was considered for some hours. It came to the ears of the French hosts and caused tnem perplexity. But good humour and the spirit of the entente cordiale smoothed away the difficulty—the Lord Mayor of Manchester and the Lord Provosts of tlie two Scottish cities agreed to take precedence by turn, Weird Fashions for Hen The latest thing ln men's fashions is to do without collars—artistically One sees the new style occasionally in Bohemian Soho, post-impressionist St. John's Wood, and sophisticated Hempstead—young men without collars or waistcoats, but with rich scarves instead, loose shirts of flaming hue, black felt hats of a sombrero cut, and, as a rule, dark clothes. They look very comfortable, but far from neat. The Impression ls that of an agricultural laborer ln his "Sunday best," or an East- Ender after a wash and brush-up following a hard day's manual work, ln fact when one comes to think of It, this fashion hns alwars existed among the Infra-artisan class. -If, as ls likely, the fashionable "nut" goes tn for collarless- ness, he will not follow the lend of the young men of the studios and the Cafe Royal, London's great evening gathering place now for alt that ls eccentric nnd much that is artistic. Youth will alwars aim at spickness and spanncss. He will not go so far, perhaps, as to adopt the open-neck blouse from the other sex, but he will probably revert to the style of Brron In the portraits, and perhaps, in extreme cases, to thnt of Sheller, who, it will be remembered, is usuallr shown with a sort of low "Medici collar,' as I think the ladies call it, and a shirt decollete iu front down to the position of one's third waistcoat button.

" BOOK NOTES Princess Mary and Lawn Tennis Lawn tennis Is making enormous strides ns a game in this countrr and Is ln fact seriously eating into cricket ns a summer pastime. Though not an ancient game—in Its present form it Is only 40 years old—It may fairly call Itself "royal" If only by reason of the mnny royalties who play. A Hohenzol- lern, for instance, played last rear at Wimbledon, on the outskirts of London, and the King of Sweden is a regular tournament player, King George is a regulnr attendant nt Wimbledon, and now it appears that his interest is shared by Ills famllr, for I hear that Mrs. Lambert Chambers, the present lndy champion, lias been asked to teach lhe game to Princess Mary. Ladles' tennis, of course, suffers badly from tlie lack of the good teaching al tho start which Princess Mary Is fortunately about to get. If anybody Is qualified to teach the value of proper footwork anil "timing" It Is certainly Mrs. Chambers. The Late Sir Donglai Straight Sir Douglas Straight, who died here last week, was probably the most popular man ln London Journalism. He brought Into journalism tlie spirit of equality, companionship and chaff at the Bar Moss, and with political opponents he gave ond expected after hours the spirit of friendliness that good lawyers show to their adversaries after the hard flght in the courts ls adjourned for the day. His experiences at tho Bar and ln India were valuable to him ln his press life, and gave him a sense of proportion which smoothed tlie workings in the Pall Mall Gazette to a degree whicli some In less hnppr offices thought not business-like," even amateur. Possibly he carried good nature too far, and It Is said that he was so practical in his encouragement of young writers thnt he loaded himself with "copy" which ho found on reflection hardly up to the standard for printing ln his journal. He was Interested in art to some extent, but lie was more Interested, perhaps, In artists, and he was one of the links which bound together many sides of London's multiplex life, particularly in the Temple, St. John's Wood and Whitehall, Ills death was feared after his operation a fortnight ago, but his illness came suddenly. Five weeks ago lie wrote to a friend saying thnt life was nothing without health, and that he was feeling In the best of health! The Strength of the Strong. By Jack London. (The Macmillan Co. of Canada, Ltd., Toronto. $1.25.) This typical "London" book consists of seven short stories, of which the most characteristic is that from which it derives its title, and the most original, a story of the Yellow Peril, called "The Unparalleled Invasion." Tlie others feature the labour problem as "The Bream of Debs," and the habitual criminal an 'The Enemy of All lhe World." There is a dialect story dealing with the loves and domestic I rials of humble life, and lhe inevitable sea story without which no "London" book would he complete. The collect inn has been copyright eil no fewer than seven limes and lias now passed into lhe hands of the Macmillan Company of Canada. None of tlie stories can be accounted us among lhc best of London's work, though they all demonstrate thai remarkable mastery of: the language which is his strongest feature, for -Tuck Loudon is one of thc few writers wlio always succeeds in finding the word he wants, and it is to tlii) faculty that liis force is largely attributable. "The Strength of lhe Strong" deals wilh prehistoric man nnd eavd life, hut it is rather a treatise than a story and is saturated with not a little of lhe sardonic humour so characteristic of London, By ils use he transfixes the foibles of modern society. However obscure the story may appear, the writer never allows you to forget its purpose, The concluding paragraph will at once illustrate his philosophy and style. "Long Beard dipped into the bear- carcass and sucked with toothless gums nt a fist of suet.

Following this policy, the chances may he good, but it is always a chance, a chance lo lose and a chance to win, like every other business one might enter.

Don't be sure yon are a rich man when you have bought Oil Shares.

IDEAS-OF A MODERN "WOMAN •■■; SOME people think a modern woman is a meddling woman, meddling ill things which do . not concern her. For instance, in the matter of the introduction of copper coinnge, to which there seems to be considerable opposition, women are accused of meddling. If women are not concerned with housekeeping, what nre they concerned with? The price of food' stuffs is a matter which concerns, or ought to concern, every woman. If a few women tnke the trouble to organize toward creating a remedy, then every housewife ought lo join in and help. The opposition to a smaller coin is coming from the wage-earner, who believes that his wages will be lowered. This fear is quite unfounded, as the copper coinnge would have no relation to wages. The people whom it would affect ure the retail merchants, who make more than their legitimate profit out of the smnll consumer. But this is short-sighted policy on the pnrt of the merchants, as better conditions for the working man always mean a general stimulus to trade. Many of our Victoria merchants realize this and are perfectly willing to circulate copper. The members of the new Household League arc only anxious to better conditions generally, and are alive to the fact that the small wage- earner is most affected by present conditions, ond they nre prepared to set forth their reasons why the smaller coin will bring down the cost of living without lowering wages. ^ The trades unions would do well to investigate the matter, and listen to the women who are busy collecting all useful information. Another matter which will claim the attention of the Household League is a propaganda in favour of homo industries and a creation of a demand for everything made in Victoria. The Merchants' Retail Association are doing a great deal toward bringing Victoria to the fore as a shopping centre, nnd what is wanted is cooperation between the housewives, the retail merchants, nnd the B, C. manufacturers. There may possibly have to be a little give and lake on nil sides, but the results should be beneficial to everyone. It has always been the policy of The Ladies' Review to follow the ox- umple of "The Week" in taking an independent line, and supporting any question which in its opinion is deserving of support, and there is scarcely anything of moment on which the public do not want to see "what The Week says." All the prominent societies and organizations approach us for support, and if Ibeir members would reciprocate by subscribing to this paper and mentioning it to their friends, they would help us considerably, The advertising columns nre patronized only by the lending and most reliable stores, und shopping at them and mentioning the paper would bo another practical way of lending support. This is only another form of co-opernlion iu which we are sure our readers will only be too glnd to participate. Mr. nnd Mrs. II.

So many arguments have been brought forward by the opposers of suffragism that to recapitulate Ihem nt length would be tedious und super- flous. Briefly they mny be summed up into three impeachments: First, that women nre creatures of emotion, not reason, and consequently unfitted to assist in passing laws that are technically held to be the outcome of the reason and dispassionate judgment of tbe majority of men. Secondly, that "nice women—and for the sake of their argument "nice women" are assumed to be in the wnjoi-ity—do not desire the vote, and that were it granted to them they would not make use of it. Thirdly, that nature herself has forever debarred women by her physical disabilities from tlie endurance necessary for sustaining the strain of political life, and that to extend the vote to ber would be to introduce dissensions into happy homes, and unfit a woman for the duties of wife and mother. These arguments seem plausible enough at lirst sight, but do they benr a close inspection? The combined wisdom of the ages as evolved by the good reason and judgment of men is sadly discounted by n few incontrovertible facts. Their united wisdom has established laws so divergent ill their social and moral bearing that, whereas in Scotland one code of morality ns shadowed by the marriage laws prevails, a breach of which entitles either man or woman equally to a divorce, in England, the titular Land nf Freedom, only a ninii enn claim release from his marriage vows if his partner is guilty of infidelity. Por the justice of mnn has ordained that I hough the stronger sex—presumably not stronger iu morals since special concessions nre mnde to them in this respect—may seek redress on this ground only, in order for u womnn to be entitled to n divorce not only must she prove infidelity but nlso cruelty. A man may maintain secretly or openly ns mnny establishments as his means and inclinations permit of, nnd yet return to bis wife and claim his marital rights. If, under such circumstances, the womnn refuses to live with her legal lord, he can leave her destitute, and furce upon her the dire alternative of accepting his companionship or having lo support herself. A wife who declines lo live with ber husband must (in England) support herself as besl she can, and wrest a living where she enn. Thus much for man's sense of justice towards the weaker, though numerically stronger half of mankind, over whom, by virtue of the laws be has defined to regulate her conduct to suit bis own convenience he exercises absolute control. Nor does this by any means sum up lhe total of his idea of justice towards the weaker sex. If it plense him to favour a mistress in lien of his wife, he may will nwny nil his properly to the former, unless tbe properly is entailed, leaving nil he possesses to Ihe companion he has chosen outside tho laws he himself bad mnde, laws to which he insists nil womnn should rigidly adhere. The penalties attached to n breach of these ninn-niiide lnws is so severe oil women as to be prohibitive, only be il well understood where the womnn is concerned. For himself mnn hns reserved Ihe prerogative of absolute licence, nnd no breach of his own established laws hy n ninn can entitle a woman to her freedom. Do bis property rights end here? lly no means. Unjust in one thing he is unjust ill nil. The snered rights of his own personal property, whether thai properly be a woman or nn estate, nre alike equally absolute, and a travesty on justice. Well may Ihe goddess of justice be depicted ns blind. Blind indeed nre lhe dispensers of justice, A man's pheasants, bis partridges, and the wild birds which nature lins cronted for his exclusive pleasure, as he maintains, arc by righl of bis possession sacred. Week after week, month nfter month, and yenr after year lhe late Lnbouchero's famous weekly "Truth" lins compiled lhe homy record of men's injustice. For the mini who, driven by hunger. ventures to aliool a partridge or a pheasant Ihnl hns been reserved by bis superiors fnr Ibeir guns n heavy line or a month's iinprosoninciil is considered n light penalty, often thai penalty is six weeks or even two months incarceration, bul if the same dangerous criminal takes lhe mild diversion when swayed by drink or passion of assaulting his legal wife, of dragging her round lhe room or knocking her senseless, or even carrying liis pastime so fur as to kick the body of the woman whom he most solemnly vowed lo love and cherish, a tine of 7s. (id. may be imposed by a hard hearted magistrate, or possibly— though the option of a tine is given in nine cases out of ten—a week's imprisonment. The woman is his legal property, has not a man the right to do what he wills wilh his own, so due consideration is accorded to tllis legal fact when apportioning his punishment. The property owners have banded themselves strenuously together to preserve us sacred nnd inviolable the righls of their private and personal property, but when that property includes human flesh and blood it may well be asked whether there may not bc something lo be said for Ihe rights of: the living property? What meaning, if. nny, enn be ascribed lo the apparently meaningless words thai form part of the English marriage service, when the man solemnly promises "in the sight of God and this congregation" to love, and cherish the woman who stands by his side as long as life shall last. And what of his subsequent de- clnrnlion, "With my body I thee worship, wilh all my worldy goods I thee endow." Words, empty, idle words. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred no meaning whatsoever' is literally nl Inched to these high sounding undertakings on lhe man's part. So fnr, indeed, from bis endowing her with nil his worldy goods, until the yenr 1882 when the Married Woman's Property Act became law in England, nol only did he fail to endow her witli any of his worldy goods, but he also could legally claim every penny that she possessed previous to her marriage, and any money she earned after marriage was not recognized by the law of England as hers. The man could tnke it all I Whnt use then for a woman to slnve as n seamstress, charwoman, laundress or nt any" other of the menial employments deemed suitable nud "womanly" for a womnn to engage in, with the hope of supporting herself and children, since after acquiring their bread by the swent of her brow, the idle properly owner of the woman could tnke every penny she earned. Finally, after centuries of injustice, the Married Woman's Property Act was passed in 1882, and later it was legally decided that a man could not forcibly seize bis wifo's person and convey it where be pleased. For once a woman defying the law and the established order of things, as established by man for men, actually bad the hardihood to resist his claims on her person. She ran nwny from her legal owner. The husband, who wns entitled to re-capture his quarry, started in pursuit, and demanded his properly rights. He seized Iho womnn in open dny lighl. thrust her inlo a cab, nnd drove off with liis possession, but lo! and behold! lhe woman slill resisted and appealed lo lhe lnw for protection. Then, nnd not till then, Ihe courts decided lo annul lhe shameful rigid lo his wife's person Hint marriage hnd previously conferred on tlie mnn, and a new law was enacted, since which date a woman is recognized ns no longer subject to (lie lnw of brute force on tho ninii's side. Slill, although mnn reluctantly conceded so much protection lo the weaker sex, he wns I'm- loo astute nnd alive lo his own interests lo admit that lhe womnn who declined to live with her husband could claim support from him. The womnn who lenves her husband does so nl her own peril, nnd wilh lhe certainty thnt sho must cuter lhe army of workers in Iho already over-crowded ranks of life's commercial battlefield. Then too Ihere nre the children, Surely Ihey at least might bc r g- nized ns belonging to the womnn who bore llieni, to the womnn who risked her life to bring theirs inlo existence, lo the woman whose body nourished nnd fed Ihem when ns yet the world knew Ihem not. "Nol" said Ibe mnn, "but for me you would have hud im children, so' Ihey, loo, I claim ns mine." Though a mother's love hns been Inimcd bv i i ns Ihe mosl perfect form of love in existence, though tbe passion of maternal love has been sung by puets and exalted by all mankind as the noblest instinct of humanity, and its fulfilment places a crown of agony on the mother's brow while yearly hundreds of women throughout the Brilish Empire pay for the privilege of motherhood with their lives, yet though throughout the world mothers die annually that the children of men may live, this cannot move the hearts of men to pity. The child, who for nine months lias drawn its existence from tlie mother only, whose birth has entailed agonies such as most fathers Hy from witnessing, is also the man's property. Legally it is for him to decide how the child or children sliall be educated, what religious instruction they sliall receive, and if finally, a woman is accused and convicted by a court of men of even once committing a fault which every married man in England is legally at liberty to commit everyday of the week without any redress ou the woman's part (unless accompanied by physical violence to the throughout Ihe civilized world, among the educated eluss, women hnve refused to bring children into the world at man's pleasure. Nature is avenging herself on the future nice of men by limiting their very existence nt the option of women. In vain are all the grandmotherly devices of the French Government to to preserve Ihe lives of lhe limited— artificially limited—number of children born to a French family by regulating lhe sale of infants feeding bottles and comforters, all of which are now strictly supervised by the French Government, still the number of births bids fair to be outstripped by the mortality records. Iu vain hns the Australian Government offered $25 for every child born over nnd nbove the small number most women elect to hnve, in vain do they hold out special inducements tn the married man to increase and multiply, here bis brute force avails him nothing. He can no longer legally compel his wife to bear hiin children, unless of her own free will nnd accord, and she hns plainly and unmistakably shown that under existing social conditions she will not burden herself with a large family.

Such is man's gratitude towards lhe mother of his children, such the juslice thai English men have meted out to the weaker sex. But this act of barbarism on man's part hns amply been avenged. All over the civilized world, even iu parts of Germany, the cry echoes through lhe land Hint the population is steadily but slowly decreasing, Ihat the women of the educated classes nre shirking llieir natural duties—duties to the nice, bid every duty has its accompanying privileges, only from motherhood have those privileges been wrested by lhe lnws framed by men. When in the arrogance that has accompanied the exercise of unrestricted power, men debarred women from nature's rights by u double code of morals, one lnw for lbe women, another for Ihe man, they omitted to reckon with one factor, Their unrestricted power is limited by nne fuel only. Though until the hist few yenrs Ihey hnve legally be- bnrrod women from entering any of Iho lucrative professions, allotting lo her only lhe menial drudgeries of life, Ihey hnve been unable lo enchain her thinking faculties. Tlie injustice of i - hrs called these In life, ami A WELL-ORGANIZED Household League should piny nn inipor- tint pnrt in the history of the city, and reviewing the results oblnined in other places one will look forward to what mny lie accomplished here by the newly-formed league. An organization meeting wns held lnst Monday afternoon, nnd everything augurs well for a harmonious co-operative scheme which should bo of incalculable benefit to Victorin. The pntrons of the Lengue are Mrs. Paterson, Lndy McBride, Mesdnmes G. H, Barnard, Home, Jenkins, and Miss Crease. The working members include many of our most active and influential women. At Monday's meeting, Mrs. R. S. Day gave an interesting address, in which she impressed those present with the real need of immediate steps toward a scheme calculated to reduce the present abnormal high cost of living. Mrs. Foulkes declared that women disbursed nbout ninety per cent, of the money earned by men for the family, and consequently much lay in women's hnnds to better conditions. Much practical advice wns given by the speaker ns lo weighing groceries nnd ment, buying goods in bulk, saving extra cost of packages, keeping books, and keeping in touch with market prices. The question of cash buying was also touched upon, and there is no doubt Hint long nc- counts are conducive to a tendency In raise prices. Mrs. II. C. Ilanington spoke particularly on the copper coinage question. The copper coin is used throughout the Dominion, only being refused in the Coast cities. In 1.878 lhe smallest coin in Brilish Columbia was ten cents, and the coming into use of the five cent piece caused much agitation. There is a quite unfounded font- that the copper coinnge would reduce wages, but experience in Winnipeg shows Hint it brought down tho cost of living, although wages there have gone up over since. The enforced used of nothing smaller than five cents is particularly bard on the wnge-enrnor, snid Mrs. Ilanington. Take the caso of a person in really hard circumstances who wants to boy brend. Frequently they cannot nfford twenty-five cents nil nt once for tickets; nnd consequently they nre forced to pay ten cents for a loaf which is only worth six cents. Tliis is actually 0(1 2-3 per cent over the legitimate profit. Jlrs. ,T. D. Gordon referred to the work of Calgary women, who have been particularly active in organization work, and who hnve n really workable public market. They ciatm t» have brought down lhe cost of living one-third. The copper coinage was introduced into Winnipeg aboul fifteen yenrs ngo MISS EVA HART Exhibitioner R.C.M., and Soloist of London SINGING AND VOICE PRODUCTION Phone 4007L (Tuesday, Friday Studio: 510 Oswego St- OSCAR GOLDSOHMIDT, (Late Conductor Boyal Optra Cassel, Germany) Voice Culture, Pianoforte, Theon Studio, 746 Vates Street Phones 3804 and 13071 MR.

C. large element of doubt in it—it is certain Hint il was not produced by a passion like Parnell's. The point of resemblance between the two tragedies is'to be found in lhc cold, reserved, unemotional temperament of the two political lenders. Iii many respects Dilke wns lhe Saxon counterpart of Parnell. Like him, he was destroyed by the lierce puri- lauism of the Hnglish Nonconformist Conscience—Ihe same puritanisin that drove Byron into exile nnd harried Shelley und execrated Swinburne. Hul iu lhe case of Parnell the tragedy lies deeper, for luve enme to him in lhe guise of 11 healer and helper in his desolation. It is impossible to grnsp the true meaning of Parnell's disastrous love unless we realise, thai when he met Mrs. (I'Shen he was a broken man living iu bleak soliliule witll death at bis door. His sister Anna appears to linve been a Parnell iu petticoats— ns cold anil ns ruthless as her brother. She never forgave him for smashing tlle Ladies' Land League, and she refused to speak lo him I ill he died. Picture, then, n man in shattered health, living in bis lonely London lodgings, enteu up with political ambition, but without a womanly or motherly touch ill his arid existence; a iiiuii who lonthed society; n man who never dined out; a man who was so bitterly self-centred Ihal be let bis letters lie unopened; a man dominated by 11 grand, lixed idea that burned night and day ill his brain; a lonely, desolate spirit with no human sweetness or softness in his way of life. To such a man the coining of love is on enrthqunke Hint rends the earth asunder. 4.—The Coming of Love. Mrs. O'Shea was a very beautiful womnn nnd a very clever womnn. She wns nlso a very lonely and neglected wife. I think it is plain she played the part of Ann in "Man and Super- Mnn." She took the eternal initiative of Hie ripe woman wlio marks down ber prey nnd hunts it. She asked Parnell to dinner. He did not come. They defied her to fill the vacant chair. "I theu became determined that I would get Parnell to come, and said, amid laughter and applause, 'The Uncrowned King of Ireland shall sit in that chair at the next dinner I give!' " Tlie boast was a careless one, but il elided ill tragedy. She hunted Parnell down at the House. "He came out, a lull, gaunt figure, thin and deadly pale"—to his doom. He looked at her, and his burning eyes threw into her brain the sudden thought: "This man is wonderful— and different." In a Hush she had captured the man of ice. A rose fell out of her bodice. He picked it up nnd kissed it. When he died she laid the fatal rose on his heart. In the look that he gave her and she gave him lay the germ of the coming catastrophe. The miracle had happened—a miracle that simply could not have happened if Parnell bad been a cynical rake. It happened because he was a weary, lonely, desolate, iiueompanioned kiiight-at-arnis suddenly captured by La Belle Dame Sans Merci. 6.—Ice on Pire I saw pale kings, and princes too. Pale warriors, death-pale were they nil; Who cried: "La Belle Dame Sans Merci Until thee in thrall!" I snw their slnrv'd lips iu the gloom Wilh horrid warning gaped wide, And 1 awoke, nnd found me here On the cold hill-side. Mr. llenly savagely compares Par- noil's love-letters to the love-letters of a buller or a but termini. Whnt on earth did he expect? Parnell wns not n literary man. He wns utterly unable to coin phrases to express bis feelings. If be hnd written literary hue-letters he would not have been the elemental Parnell—a man so illiterate thnt he forgot Shakespeare's name and was not sure that he was correct in alluding to him ns "lbe poet." The whole pathos of the Parnell love-letters is in their clumsy Pbilis- liiin phraseology. He was no experienced lover, wilh all the slang of love-making on his tongue. He wns rather n dumb Titan in lhc clutches of a force be could neither analyze nor define. Iii Mrs. 0'Shea's narrative you can see hiin stumbling und slnggering to bis doom; helpless as a lamb in Ihe jaws of a mngnill conl tigress; torn lo pieces by the pitiless conflict botwoon two of the most terrible passions — the love of woman and the love of power. The man of ice turns into a man of fire. There was no gradation in his stir render. He, lhe cold master of mnny legions, lhe frigid breaker of lnws, the unshaken Han of Destiny, in an Instant becomes lhc Antony of a new Cleopatra, The uncrowned king in a moment is transformed inlo a woman's nbject slave. 6.—The Eternal Maternal The change from ice to llaine in the ease of Parnell is a mystery of temperament, He did not fight against his fate. He had never mot his master in the field of affairs; but the will that twisted a Gladstone round his little linger was putty in the weak lingers of a woman. As a lover he was the most uxorious of men. He was ready to sacrifice Ireland for his mistress, but, wiser Ihan Cleopatra, she rejected the oblation. She knew that her king would pine in a bower of roses. She knew that the strong Super-Man would be cloyed with dalliance and surfeited with sweets. What marvellous subtlety! What splendid insight! What terrible craft! And over and above her passion she gave him the one thing lie had lucked in his lonely, broken life- maternal tenderness, maternal solace, maternal care. She nursed him like a child. She hid him in her boudoir and fed him stealthily. She made him take an extra pair of boots and socks to keep his feet warm. A wonderful specimen of the mother-mistress—the jealous, unscrupulous, merciless, relentless creature that nourishes the thing it devours and caresses the thing it destroys. Here is a primitive force far more devastating than the fierce ambition of tlie masterful male, far more overwhelming in ils insatiable hunger thnn the lust of power or the passion of patriotism. And let it be remembered that the lierce puritanisin whieh destroyed Parnell is in its essence feminine, for it is based upon the sex-jealousy of womanhood. This cold, inscrutable giant was torn to pieces by the Woman ns Mistress and the Womnn as Wife and the Woman as Mother. And the irony of the tragedy lies in this fact — that the two passionate lovers in their relationship were like any good wife and any good husband. Their love was a true marriage in everything but name. No wonder Hint Parnell said: "There is little hope for a nation that worships laws." Ibsen might have written those words. "I urn not as they," said Parnell. There spoke the Super-Man. (Reprinted from The Sunday Chronicle.)

Madame Russell, of the Beauty Shop, has some excellent home-made preparations which are entirely pure and most effective for keeping the skin clear and beautiful. The hair will also need great cure during tlie next few months. Dust is always in the air in summer time, and how cun one look well in a cool white gown at a smart function if she has dusty, sticky hair? The best thing for keeping the* hair really clean and healthy is to have a regular shampoo at Madame Rusell's. The henna shampoo is marvellous for keeping fair hair bright and keeping it from that'' mousy'' stage.

WRITING of La Promenade des Toilettes at Whiteley's. a London correspondent says: "The influence of Wotteau's celebrated pictures prevailed in the creations that were destined for the debutante, the pannier and tlie pouf draperies heing happily allied in these, as well as in other models. The Grecian lines were represented, and it seems impossible that these ideas could be mingled, but they were, and in a marvellously attractive manner. The trains of the evening dresses were narrow, and, no matter whether they were square or pointed, they were slit up the centre nnd sprang from the waist line. Furthermore, they wcre never cut in one with the dress — indeed, they were floating draperies. Of course, the V shape decolletage was seen, but it was not so low as formerly—which is a matter of congratulation. It was noticeable that the Medici collar is finding a formidable rival in the one that is reminiscent of the Normandy peasants, springing from just above the shoulder-blade and falling well away from the column of the throat. This is in complete harmony with the pelerine draperies of the corsages. "A pretty conceit is the holding o£ the draperies in position with clusters of flowers, while the important role whieh the tassel occupies cannot be overestimated. It weights the points of the sleeves, is introduced at the hem of the skirt, it may be to draw attention to the inverted pleat, or it may be that it forms an ornament for the jupe of lace. "The modish ceinturcs of brocade ribbon are very attractive, but perhaps the most interesting of nil things are the wonderful colour schemes, whicli are as daring as they are original, yet at the same time by the result they are fully justified."

The paper covers a great deal of ground, possi The facts are so. They furnish for the British democracy a distressing illustration of the manner in whicli the intentions of a Liberal Government, which has given India the largest measure of constitutional freedom for half a century, can be •frustrated or.defeated by a distant and practically omnipotent autocracy. Mrs. Besant says that "no one who does not live as a friend among Indians can know the deep resentment felt by them against such methods employed by a country they loved and admired," We believe that also is true, nnd we may add that very few people in England are in a position to know how thorough has been the suppression of public criticism since the outbreak of anarchical crime six years ago. Measures of amelioration must undoubtedly be undertaken. What form should they take to begin with?

Baldy and some 0 feet above sea level. The first tions were made there by Messrs. McKinney and others in 1887, n the old Cariboo was staked, and ng its career of ten years pro- over $1,500,000. For some s no work has been done in this of the camp, where are situated, (ldition to tlie Cariboo company's lerties, the Waterloo nnd Sailor ps, equipped with ten stamp mills nil necessary mining machinery; unfortunately during these years the camp has been deserted it leen raided by a gang of thieves, have dismantled not only the but private residences of every- I movable or worth moving, giv- the old ciimp a forlorn appear- rhe history of the Cariboo mine a great measure tlie history of p McKinney, it heing its great ucer, though the adjoining prop- the Waterloo, had equally as u'e, but not to such an extent, the Cariboo closed down in I asked the superintendent did :sider the property worked out? by any means," he replied, my interests take me else- ."

During Ihe lime the wns running some $40,000 were out, nnd doubtless tliis purl ion company's property is pretty orkrd out, but tlie shaft on the rloo gave access to lhc Fonte- •iie of the company's clnims to ist, which hnd scarcely been d and from which good stimuli! been obtained, e Sailor group, owned princi- in Toronto, was closed down the Cariboo. The ten stump ivith which it is equipped be- altnost new. Though these constitute the main portion > upper camp, there were many claims in the vicinity owned by individuals which possibly would have continued working, but the closing down of the big companies put the lid on the camp. I may mention at the present time Mr. Ohns. Osten- berg, who built the Cariboo mill in '96, is engaged in sampling the tailings from the mill, of ' 'hich there are several thousand tons th a view to treatment. "Some four miles easterly from the Cariboo nnd situated • on the North Fork of Rock Creek nre the Victoria group of claims, the Old Englnnd, the Snowdon, Ophir, Gold Standard, etc. The Victoria is tlie oldest recorded claim in the dislrict, I having recorded it for the locators in '84, nt the same time sending a picked sample of ore to the Sclby Smelting Works, Sun Francisco, which assays $480 to the ton in gold and silver. The property, which is now owned by a Victoria company, shipped considerable ore to the Tu- eoma smelter, but cost of transportation was very high in those times nnd though the ore ran well, it w'ns hardly good business. No work has been done on these claims for years, though now railway communication is within seven or eight miles of the mine and a good wagon rond connecting with the V. V. & E. station at Bridesville. There is little doubt in my mind that some day this group of properties will be profitably worked, as the mineral is there, as ulso the facilities for working, a good water power and transportation inexpensive. "About V/__ miles from the Victoria, on the hog's back between the North nnd South Forks of Rock Creek, the Dayton claim, owned by- Messrs. Hamilton and Younkin, is situated. This property has been considerably developed and many promising showings of free gold mnde. At present a car loud of ore is being taken out nnd from assays made the owners nre expecting n good return. "A little below the Dayton is the Le Roi, owned by J. Copeland. This claim has quite a local reputation and is looked upon us tlie key to several of the surrounding properties. "Having resided in McKinney for so many years T may claim lo be intimately connected with its history, its successes and its failures, and T have almost invariably seen success attend intelligent efforts, while failures have been largely due to mismanagement." Ai A MODERN bucket dredge, simi- Inrge lo Ihose used in the Yukon, whicli will cut into bed rock, will Ihis summer he operated on the Lardo River nl Goldhill, according to Air. Wolhert, representing Spokane, Nelson and Kaslo capitalists who are undertaking the placer proposition at Goldhill. Mr. Wolhert says that the property in which he is interested is remarkably rich and pays from the top. The formation, he snys, is the same as that of the richest properties in Alaska, and a shaft which bus been sunk on the surface has shown won dcrful results. Other shnfts will be sunk and the property will be thoroughly tested to bed rock. The dredge will cost from $125,000 to $175,000, but as lhe railway track runs over tlie bar the cost of installing will he comparatively light, nl- though single pieces will weigh as much as 20 tons. A Philadelphia outfit is working on the Lardo River at Goldhill, snys Mr. Wolbert, witli satisfactory results. A drag dredge is being used, and values of 75 cents a ynrd are being obtained at 12 and 15'feet depth. Mr. Wolbert 's property is far richer, lie savs. CHARLES E. BANKS, a mining engineer of Greenwood, wns in Edgewond recently, being on his way to report on some mining property of which Mr. Dietrich, of St. Paul, is the chief owner. Tlie company is the Lightning Peak Mining Company. This property is said to have a showing of 10 inches of galena at the bottom of the shaft, wth assays running as high as $300 per ton. Native silver is plainly visible. Ai MINING at the Granby is to be done on a more extensive scale than ever. The latest equipment ntliled for the economic handling of the output of Canada's greatest copper producer is a 40R electric shovel, manufactured by a South Milwaukee, Wis., concern. Tlie mine is to be again worked to n large extent by Ihe "glory hole" process. This eleclric shovel ean tear into a pile of "muck" and fairly eat it up. It can loan a 10-ton car in three minutes, and is capable of handling 1,500 yards of loose ground in 10 hours. It can pick up two yards to n shovelful, or enn lift n rock weighing 10 or 12 tons. The machine weighs 50 Ions, and is propelled by its own power. Ai THE work of pulling in tlie power dmn for lhe Hedley Gold Mining Coinpnny on the Siinilkunieeii River whicli was started lute last full bus nil heen completed excepting a small portion of the upstream aprons on Iho west section nnd this cannot be put iu until the wnter gets low again Ihis slimmer. Tlie work of pulling iu the bridge over the ilnm hns been started but owing lo tlie inability of the management to secure some of the big tim bers this work will he delayed somewhat. The tracks that were used for the hauling of materials have all been torn up and some of the machinery taken out. The work on llie right-of-way for the ditch and flume is now being rushed along and already a large part of this work is ready l'or the lumber. WS. HAWLEY, of Spokane, • manager of the Silver Hoard mine ut Aiusworth, was in Kelson recently en route back to Spokane after a trip of inspection lo the property. Although very little is being done at llie mine on account of the depth of snow, Mr. Hawley states that it is very likely thnt work will be conducted on a larger scale later in the year. He expects to be back in the district in nbout ii month's time, when he will make another inspection of tlie property. GARRY McBRAND nnd Joe Gillcs hnve just completed development work on claims recently located ut Nighthawk, nnd have opened up a line vein of silver-lead ore, fully four feet wide. Assays as high as $00 iu gold and silver have been obtained, while samples across the ledge run $47. The strike has attracted the attention of mining men through the country and the owners hnve received n number of flattering offers for the claims. They are negotiating with n British Columbia mining nnd smelting company, that wants to install a diamond drill on the property. Besides from the vein of high-grade ore that has been opened there is an eight-foot quartz ledge carrying a considerable amount of lead upon which a thirty- foot shaft has been sunk. Values have increased with depth. It is on the lodge that the company desires to drill. Tlie recent copper strike in this camp is adjoining this claim, and it is confidently expected that copper values will be encountered at depth. If lhe coinpnny is successful iu obtnin- ing this properly much work will be done in the camp, with the chance of lhe biggest nnd best mineral shewing ever made in this district Ihis Summer.

Phone 3837 Page Eight THE WEEK Saturday, July 4, 1914 (Continued from First Page) unregenerate AVest, with frequent intimations that we should try, at least, to he as circumspect in our conduct as the people of Ontario's capital, led us to believe that all Toronto wanted was one opportunity to smash the liquor traffic hip nnd thigh. Imagine our astonishment on learning that not only did the opponents of hur banishment hold the eight seats they held already, but actually won thc new scuts provided under the recent redistribution." It is obvious from the foregoing that The Times hns discovered that its idol has "feet of clay," and that hereafter the flaunting of "Toronto the Good" before its scandalised eyes will be like a red flag to a bull. And vet what could The Times reasonably hnve expected? It is the same now as in the days when the Pharisee drew near thanking God that He was not us other men. and the publican stood afar ulf smiling his breast. There is one crumb of comfort even for The Times, viz.. that the hiidi priests of Pharisaism in Toronto have been found out, for the voice of the cleric has been like the voice of one crying in the wilderness. The more he cried, tlie less tbe people heeded. Gossip From the Stalls IT IS a thousand pities that more interest is not being taken in the work of the Victoria Cadet Band. Last Friday at the George Jay School and again on Monday last at the Esquimalt School on Lampson Street concerts were, given, but on neither occasion was the response of the public at all in keeping with the merits of the performance. In the Victoria Cadet Band the city hns an aggregation of youthful talent which is realized by but few people, and the up-hill work which has befallen thc organization in its efforts to gain public recognition is a discredit to the city. The band is a good one and the boys are thoroughly in earnest. Under the capable instruction of their bandmaster, Mr. W. G. Plowright, they have attained a high standard of efficiency and are well deserving of the support of the City and the School Board. Most people are aware that the best way to secure the future of any country is by training the boys in the way they should go, and the encouragement of such enterprises as that undertaken by the Cadet Band would reflect to the future gain of the community.' Of Monday's concert it is impos sible to speak otherwise than in words of praise, and the opening selection by the full band was a revelation to all who heard it, while the various instrumental solos were keenly appreciated by the scanty audience. The mandolin and guitar orchestra figured strongly throughout the programme, both in selected work and ns accompanists. Miss M. Young is a clear, sweet soprano sang well and was encored, as was Mr. R. Morrison, whose tenor was heard to great advantage. Perhaps the feature of the evening, however, apart from the excellent work of the boys, was the harp playing by Madame Mendoza. This magnificent harpist was encored to the echo and responded nobly, at the same time undertaking heavy work throughout thc evening as nc- companist on her instrument, It is to be hoped that when next the Victoria Cadet Band is billed to give a performance the public will make a point of according it suitable patronage, and when they have once lent attentive ears to the band they will attend for pleasure's sake alone; the idea of patronage will be lucking. In the meantime ninny people enjoy the opportunity of hearing the band iu the public parks, and if the city could arrange for more performances of this nature at a figure in keeping with their merit, a very deserving institution would receive much needed financial encouragement. LAUGHTER has been the key-note of the performances given this week at the Royal Victoria Theatre, where the Allen Players have been branching forth into comedy by presenting "A Contented Woman," a play which conies most appropriately at the present season, dealing as it docs with the rights of women and tlie comic adventures of a married couple who are both running for the same office. Miss Vernu Felton is seen in the lending role, being ns charming in comedy ns she is in heavier parts, and she is well supported by the rest ot tlie company. This is the very weather for something light nnd cheerful, nnd those who wnnt a hearty laugh this evening are recommended lo see Victoria's favourite stock company nt the Roynl. FIRST-CLASS musical performances always find fnvor on the Victoria vaudeville stage, nnd tho net contributed this week by the Gnl- lerini Four at Pnntages Thentre has been winning loud encomiums, especially the flute solo by the boy member of the troupe. Another popular feature hns been the nppenrance of Barnes & Bnrron, Hebrew comedians. People who like nniraal shows have been delightud with the antics of "Little Hip" anil "Napoleon," the elephant and the monkey, whoso amusing eccentricities havc been causing mnny a hearty laugh. Hoop- rolling, when gnnd, is nlwnys worth seeing, and the Alpha Troupe give as fine an exhibition of it as any performers who have visited the Capital City. Gallowny & Roberts, who complete the hill, are a couple of black- fnce artists who keep the audience in high good humour. MANY people who find themselves with a spare half-hour on their hands are glnd to have a house of entertainment to enter where they can henr an amusing piece of vaudeville, or maybe see a good picture or two, hut who hnve neither the time nor the money to spend on a full entertainment. For such the Empress Theatre on Government Street is admirably adapted, for there is plenty of vaudeville merit and a high standard of moving-picture. The only difficulty is Hint those who enter meaning to spend a few minutes find it hnrd to tear themselves nwny before the whole performance is finished.

A year or two ago he placed a vote of censure on the paper against Mr. Speaker. There is remained week after week. Of course, nothing came of it. Mr. Martin, known to his intimates as "Old Joe," has had a distinguished political career, having been Attorney- General of Manitoba, Attorney-General and Prime Minister of British Columbia, and for many years a member for Winnipeg. But perhaps Mr. Martin will best be remembered for an amusing misdescription of Mr, John Redmond. Tn the richest Canadian twang, be alluded to thc Irish leader as "the bon. member for Watterbury."

As regards Petroils, Ltd., we will now answer the various questions suggested in one of these WARNINGS to investors. 1. Arrangements have been made with the Union Bank to act as Trustees pending allotment, and all cheques and drafts should bc made payable to the Union Bank. 2. The Directors are: A. W. McVITTIE, B.C.L.S. G. A. FRASER, Druggist. A. SCOTT WHITING, Broker. W. W. FOSTER, M.P.P. R. N. HINCKS, Retired. V. A. G. ELIOTT, Broker. 3. The Company's Head Office is in Victoria. 4. The land is in British Columbia, and the titles are in good standing. 5. Oil is known to be in the Flathead, and a syndicate of well-known Vancouver and Victoria business men are paying $12,500 to get an eminent oil expert to report on the Flathead District. 6. The proceeds of the present issue will be spent in drilling, not in purchasing land from the vendors. 7. Although six-tenths of the stock is being given for the properties, remember that the Company secures for this stock THREE widely-separated properties in what is recognized as an oil district. The Following is a Letter Received hy Messrs Hall and Floyer Victoria, B. C, June 15, 1914. Messrs. Hall & Floyer, Victoria, B. C. Dear Sir:—In 1903 I staked land in the vicinity of Sage and Kishehnehna Creeks with thc intention of boring for petroleum, signs of which were easily apparent. In 1908 1 again visited the grounds and found that very little digging at the "Big Seepage" resulted in quite a considerable flow of oil. The B. C. Oil & Coal Development Co. have drilled in the vicinity of Sage Creek, and have found oil in appreciable quantities and of very high grade. Petroils Limited has options on three widely-separated parcels of land in the same district as that held by the B. C. Oil & Coal Development Co. Petroils Limited will not go to allotment until at least $25,000 is in the Treasury, which means that we will not take any money from subscribers unless we have sufficient capital to prosecute earnest work. Wc believe we have exceedingly good prospects, and when sufficient money to bore has been raised we intend to bore as rapidly as possible, and you can rely upon the money being honestly spent. (Signed) A. W. McVITTIE. Thc shares are $1.00 par value, and we have a block for sale at 35c per share, fully paid and non-assessable.
