PRICE FIVE CENTS LADYLMITH'S DARK DAY AND ITS EFFECTS Sun Seems to Fall an Hour Behind Hand and Many People Rise That Much Later Pouring Rain, Heavy Wind and Black Clouds do Not Form a Scene Where Every Prospect Pleases "Did you oversleep yourself this morning?" A good many Ladysmith people have to answer that question in the affirmative, lor out ol a dozen men of whom the inquiry was made, only one could slate that he rose at his usual hour, and that was not in time to hear "cock crow." At eight o'clock so dark were the rain clouds that it was impossible to write without tt lamp, and lelt dit- nial ami dreary, as if llie sun itself had been out too late at lodge meeting tlic night before and had risen iin hour behindhand with that tiled feeling and an unpleasant taste in his mouth/. Many men did not reach their offices iinl.il long alter tho usual hour, ami breakfast almost merged on lunch. One gentleman whose hours are fairly regular, admitted that it was quarter to nine before he bad shaken oil dull sloth and was going up Gatacre street from his hotel with giant steps as if trying to overtake tlie Meeting moments that would never return. Perhaps, however, 'the mast horrible example was a nice young man with louzzled hair -gener ally parted in the middle, but ap parently this morning quite guiltless ol brush or comb. He sat beside the lire in his ollice altee nine o'clock, shamelessly imbibing sustenance from a huge 'bottle labelled "din," although the liquid within it - was. slightly colored with milk. A dinner pail like tbe miners carry was on the floor beside him and between gulps, ol thc beverage—he said it wat tea- he- tore hasty mouthfuls from a huge sandwich, utterly reckless of .his'digestion. He had to' admit that il was long after eight liefore he awoke to the affair's ol the world this morning and then shoveled on his clothes' any old way and scooted'for town, sending the ollice hoy to the hotel lor his hunger appeaser. Ills collar was awry aud he altogether looked as if he had'turned: out of the wrong side ol the bed. However, he was only one ol many, but being young and thoughtless, lie did not seem to care much; but admitted that he hail been out visiting sonic friends the night before anil had not got home till fairly late. Thc wind whistled nnd blew half a gale during the night and the waters ol the harbor rose in a heavy' swell which one old' timer says was the biggest he ever saw here. IN ST. JOHN'S GLEE CLUB The St. John tl lee Club was [Drilled yesterday from members ol St. John Lodge A. F. and A. M., ol this city and inclu'ds among its large membership many of thc finest male voices in Ladysmith. Though primarily iuU'iided to sing in connection with the lodge, it is expected that the club will lie heard in public on various occasions and such an aggrc- gullan ot line voices will (certainly ho n great pleasure to hear and add greatly to thc taste for good music in Ladysniilh.

TO PREVENT BUSH FIRES The great destruction of timlrcr by fires iu. British Columbia is attract ing attention in the East. At the meeting of thc Board of directors of the Canadian Forestry Association, „ resolution was passed expressing the opinion that in view of the annual destruction ol timber in British Col iimbia and the difficulty ol guarding the forests from lire, it is ilesilable that the Bush Fire Act ot that Province should be amended so as to prohibit thc starting of fires tor lliv, clearing ol land belore the first day ol May and thc first day of Novem- Ijn in each year, unless a special per init tori that purpose be granted-" by the Forest ranger or other ollicer appointed lor the district in whicli I such permission is asked. -M- BliLKLKY VALLEY. According to Robert Cunningham, a pioneer of the Skccna district, Bulk- ley Valley is becoming the scene ol great mining excitement., (tulle a number of free-milling gold proper- tics have been developed during the Slimmer months and are now showing signs ol turning out morc valuable than the most sanguine expected. As a'rcsiilt ol the reports there linsityon a stampede irom Hazel ton and else-' where into that district. As an illustration of the sensation tho accounts ol thc richness ol Bulkley Valley have caused, Mr. Cunningham said that three men had just left Hazel- ton In an rill erupt to travel up tlie river by canoe belore winter set in.

D NICHOLSON, Prop LADYSMITHI'LEDGER _5- INDIAN RELIGIONS., The oldest religiqn 'iry India, iViS; stated in the general .report on thi Indian census ol 1901, is the medley of uncomfortaljUe superstitions known as Animism, which conceives of man as beset by shapeless phan' mostly impersonal, requiring, diligent propitiation' by -.rites and magical formulae. Those returned as Aniinists number 8,580,900 mostly lound in Bengal. In the higher forms ol Hinduism pantheism ' is lound closely associated with a deeply ingrained belief ol transmigration, and is still mote universal be-' liel in "karma." Between the extremes ol practical magic and pantheistic metaphysics Hinduism includes a bewildering variety ol pessimistic creeds. The number ol Bra- manic Hindus in 1001 was 207,050,- 557, or seven in ten of tbe population. Mohammedans numbered 62,458,077 or 9 per cent, more than in 1901. Thc actual beliefs and practices ot the Mussulmanns differ considerably, and thc uneducated are deeply infected with Hinduism. Buddhism is professed by 0,470,75. persons, an Increase of 33 per cent. The Bur- mans, although nominally Buddhists adhere at least to thc ancient Nat. or demon worship, Buddhism being only the superficial polish. The Sikhs who nearly all live in Punjab, and the Jains, who live mainly in Bombay Presidency both tend to. des- «rilic themselves as Hindus, so that their respective numbers, 2,195,339, and 1,33-1,138, are probably under slated. Thc small but influential .community ot Parsis (94,190) it mainly lound in Bombay. Ol thi .2,1123,241 Christians, 2,064,313 an .natives, the number ot whom has' increased by 31 per cent. In Western India the returns wen -welled by Ihe inclusion- ot famiiu waifs, iu Madras and llengal tin more degraded classes tend to be conic converts, partly tor social reasons. Nearly two-thirds ol all Christians arc in the Madras Presid ency, including Cochin and Travail core, where about 25 per cent olthi people profess Christianity. Out oi the total Indian Imputation in 1901 70 per cent, were Hindus, 21 pel cent. Mohammedans, 3 iter cent. Bud dhisls, 3 per cent. Animists, and 1 per cent. Christians. THE PASTOR'S WISH. The shepherd of a flock iu a certaii- suburb of Chicago had been finding it difficult to keep on good tetms witl one ol thc tactions. While the members ot the congregation preserved ai> outward show ot general tricndliucss there was under the surface a bit .etrness that, try as he would, tin .preacher could not dispell.' Things' kept getting worse and worse until there was no longer any attempt to conceal the difference between tin pastor and some twenty-live prominent members ot Ihe church. They were sure to line up on different sides of i every proposition that was broached, and they spoke in anything but respectful terms of- one another. One Sunday morning just aitei the minister and those who werc opposed to him had been in con [lict at a business meeting, the good man arose In the pulpit and began to tell his hearers ol experiences that he had undergone ih an Ohio city, before being called hither. "At one time," he said, "we had a terrible epidemic ol typhoid tcvci and I hud occasion to see then hov, true it is t~~t (lod sometimes docs His work in mysterious ways. People who had previously been enemies were brought together in loving friendship by the afflictions that were put upon them during these trying days. Old quarrels were forgotten, a spirit ol religious fervor swept through the'town,'and I was called upon to offer prayers in homes where only wickedness and blasphemy existed before. The scourge was terrible, but it also brought glorious results. I remember that on one Sunday twenty-four coffins lay before me as I entered my pulpit to preach. Oh, that wc might have a repetition ol that glorious regeneration here." I Alter that the breach seemed to grow wider and it was not long lielore the congregation had a new guidc.-Chicago Record Herald. 1) : A STRANGE RENT.
