BC Historical Newspapers
The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

The Kootenav Mail is not a free trade paper, and is, on tlie contrary, strongly in favor of all the protection for the lead of West Kootenay that is needed tq make its mines productive (aiid prosperous and tor stimulate the sineltini' and refining of ore within our own borders. Much as -we regret to ..." ��������� ��������� ft p make this .positive announcement of our adhesion to protection for'"'West Kootenay mines and miners, since it deprives the editor of (he Tribune of any longer congratulating himself that he is the sole defender of the policy for West Kootenav, we have to make ' it in defence of the. truth, and,also to say that r\ve have never published in tlie Mail anything inconsistent with pro- 'tection. /What the Mail is struggling for and seeking to find is a market for .the surplus of Canadian lead beyond home consumption. After, wef have supplied the market of' Canada with the 10,000 tons, more or Jess, which ,it absorbs, what is to be done with the 90,000, more or less, annual excess of production* over, consumption',- which ll-epoiilical economists of the Tribune will sol ii'i see crowding our refineries beyond their capacity 1 We are in favor of the direct protection wliich an increase of the tariff will give to the lead producers, if that is decided on by the powers in authority as the method they are willing to try,,still the giving of a bonus of so much per ton for the lead refined in British" Columbia, would seem to meet tlie- case, and would provoke less opposition in tlie centres of rpolitical strength in eastern Canada. Let us have protection,-by all means in the most feasible 'form,, and then let us find a market, for the surplus. The ports of China are-now open to the world of commerce, and that country we believe to be the natural market for British Columbia lead, and that a concerted movement, made now by the miners, -the C. P. R. and the Government, would have a good prospect of .succeeding. Hut we do not expect to see the Tribune take any part in helping it, unless its editor can make use of it as a "political cry" in the coming Dominion election, and thereby further his own 'personal ends^ BUSH FIRES.

The Government has sent out to the Government Agent a large poster for his bulletin board, containing Section 3 of the " Bush Fire Act, 1890," and it will be wise for the people to read it carefully and make a note of tlie warnings as well as the penalties which will lie incurred by violating its provisions. Already smoke has been choking the atmosphere from bud bush fires along the railway line. 1 low tliey are started, it i.s impossible to say, but the army of tramps is a big one tliis year. Tlie late rains however luiw; mostly extinguished them. The wholesale destruction of the forests iif the country should be prevented if possible, and we aie glad to see the Government, moving in this direction. Section 3 of the Act is as follows: Any person who shall, during the months of Muy, June, July, Augusi, Sept������'nil)i-r or 'Octolicr,' ignite in the open air, in any forest or \yoofl*--, liein - the ])i'opei l,y of any other pei-*son or tlie property of the Grown, any inflammable material, and shall leave the same before il lie thoroughly extinguished, and any damage shall result (herefrom ; and any pi-r.**<. i who shall ignile, or knowingly permit, lo \v> ignil ed, in the o].en air upon disown land, any iiiflaiiiinal'le material, and shall by reason of gro.*.s r;w*e|(������*snes*- and negligence, permit any lire originating therefrom to e.-eape on any adjoining or adjacent public ov j.rival" ^ properly, whereby d.image .-hall be t done or limber destroyed : and wIiomi- . ever .-.unlawfully neglects , or .rcl uses lo | comply with ���������the.; I'eqtiire.iii.'iiis bi' this'!

THOMSON'S, LANDING ITEMS. Mr. Beaton's pack train is up Gainor Creek moving Lhe Badshot Mining Co. up to their claim. , , ' Most of thefarmersaround here have got through seeding and planting, and are going out to work for a few weeks on the roads and traiN. Messrs. Beaton 6c Thomson are erecting a new store at tlie Landing and will have it ready for business,in about a week. Saudj' MeRae has taken'a gang of men to make the much needed repairs to the Haley Creek trail. Chas. Ilolten ,has charge of a gang of men repairing the trail up Lardeau Creek. "Things .are reported booming at Trout Lake City. Then: were about GO men there last nighl. But little mining is being done on the creek now as the water is too high. Mr. J. D. Graham, ' Government Agent, has lieen ont, to Trout Lake City and let six contracts for the load from Thomson's to Trout Lake City. The contractors have in all cases fairiy good figures for the work, but will have lo work hard to make good'wages. No doubt the Government will save" some money by this method. One good feature about the, business is that nearly all this ,work will lie done lipoid residents-who are staying wii,h the country and trying to build it up. The repairs on the part completed will lie done by day work. ' * ' Nearly all the mineral cl.liinsdn Fish Greek are situated on the east side of the creek, and the holders of these claims are ,much dissatisfied, with the route chosen for the new trail'up Fish Creek, frqm Lardeau to the-1-ihilu post. They intend to repair ,the old bridge and cut the timber out of the old trail, and use. it in preference, as it,is much shorter and handier than, the contemplated trail. The -owners on the east side of Fish Creek claim that if a new trail is to be built at all, it- should lie built up the east side-of Poole Creek, thus reaching the priucipal mines without a bridge at all. , Thomson's, May 23, ISOj. KAMLOOPS LETTER-.' Kaniloops has been quiet tliis-week. Tlie cold dull weather we are experiencing is bad for trade, and Ihe ladies of the city, with the English Church bazaar for Monday, and the Hospital hall for Tuesday,-ai'e so rushed with business of all kinds, that tliey scarcely have time to think. A Mrs. Butt has been here and lectured on phrenology in the Methodist church on Monday evening. Her English, which isnotexactly "the Queenjs," was as amuning a.- her head studies. Since then by dint of great persuasive poweri, and what .-he calls "stick-to- hiiii-ncb*--," she. .has' extracted a good many dollats'tYoin the unwary in te- turn for telling them in printed form ,what they knew before but with less flourish of science. The Oddfellows had quite a f ime'all to themselves. Grand Master Grey from Vancouver honoured the Lodge with a visit, and they dutifully, took him to see the three Kamloopian, Lions���������The Old Mali's Home, the Industrial School and Tianquille. That being all we have to show. ,������*(' make the best of it. Mr. Foster's yacht was duly launched on* Wednesday, and Miss McAleese christened it "The Selkirk." "ir.-ippy is the nation that has no hisloiy," says the' philosopher. ' The new-paper man thinks thiswise. Next week with the assizes, tiie bazaar, and the ball, there will be something to write about. Up River Notes. In addition to Hyatt's pack train of four horses, which left Friday week for Camp Creek. *The fiist section of La- forme's train started Saturday with 11 packs and 2 saddles, with .Joe O'Connor in charge, and on Monday Lafonne himself went out with the balance of the train, composed of 1-1 packs and 3 saddles, and carrying about, 7,000 pounds of fi eight. ' C. Kichards, foi many years a bridge foreman in the employ of the C.P.R., has concluded to try his hand at niin- ingatid left on Saturday I'or Big Hend, going over the trail with Mark Hyatt. 1 Geo. C. Marsh and Dave Cowaii ar- i i'ved from Dowuie Creek on Monday. They found the trail in good condition, except ii few soft spots owing to the late rains. Mr. Marsh has been working on bis lauch. He has put in a big lot of seeds, and is sure he will have a '��������� bang-up" good garden this year. Mr. Marsh returned Wednesday morning. H<* gives a good reason foi coming to Kevelstoke at (his- time, that provisions were gelling short at Downie owing lo the delay of the pack train. Hon.

Two Golden Men Narrowly Escape, Drowning* in the Columbia. II. W. Nash and D. C. Shields arrived at Revelstoke Tuesday afternoon, having started from Golden and followed the Columbia all the way round. They are practical mineis and prospected every creek, on the river, stopping a fortnight on a bench nearly opposite Downie Creek. Coming through the canyon they had a perilous time.' Their boat was n. small flat-hot tinned affair, and was easily overturned. Na.sh swam ashore, whilst Shields sue-' ceeded in getting onto tlie bottom of the.upturned boat with his dog. Keachingrthe Big liddy the boat, made .three circuits around it, but Shields having no oar could not make; the land until lie used his c^oat foi a sail. Nash, being on (he w-est side of the river, crossed Jordan'Creek by making .-1 raft of some logs, which he lied together with liis suspenders.', Woare glad that we do'nol, in this case have to record another drowning in the Columbia. The Big Bend Trail. . Win. Vickers, foieman of the work: ol putting the Big Hend trail in order from Kevelstoke to Carne's Creek, about 30 miles, finished the job on Saturday and came in with liis crew in a row boat, ai riving Monday morning. ,At Laforn'ie's corral, about 10 miles out, a great improvement was made in thu giade by going aiound instead of over the bill at that point. r A new bridge had to be put, in'at a place in the can- von where there had lieen a rock-slide. Corduroy had to be repaired, new trail constructed whore .sand-slides made it necessajr, and the trail generally cleared of fallen timber and any obstructions. Tho'packers who have* since passed over it say that the trail is in first-class condition. ������ '* " Tom Bain'has the section of the trail between Carnes Creek mid Downie to- put in order. He has driven piles at tho Downie Creek hi idge where the high water \vas liable to cause damage. Social and Presentation at theMethodist ,, Church. A very large gathering of the friends of Rev." C- A. Procunier, without regard to denominational attachments, assembled, at the Methodist Cburcli last Saturday evening as an expression of regard for himself and family and to present him with a substantial evidence of, their appreciation of his efforts among them as a'minister. ] Te was to leave on the Monday foi- * lowing for Kaslo, and this,was the last opportunity his' friends would have of meeting him in a social way on a secular evening. A'purse of gold, exceeding $100, h i.i ..een contributed and this was presented to him, accompanied hy the following^iddress, which had been beautifully engrossed : f,* To the Hey. C. A. Procunier, Ph.D.: Dear Sir,���������As tho time of your deparluro is almost ut liiind, \vo,'tlic citizens of Rovolstoke, desire in a formal way to express our appreciation of your presence uinuner us during the pasc two years, and our regrets that wo are so soon to part with an inestimable citizon. Though not, nil adherents of anyone branch of the many oxistiiiK Christian sociteies, we bei*; to tender our recognition of your inlluence not only j\s a, minister of the Gospel in its generally accepted ,, sense, but as nn earnest advocate of its broader u teaching of development of all the Cotter quali- ' ties with wliich mankind is endowed. Wo especially esteem you as an uncompromising tow nsnian und daily friend of all. As a more substantial proof of our regard, we ask you to receive this purse, with which wo extend our heartfelt good will. Our best wishes go willi you, and hopes that your now lield of labor may be us congenial to yourself as wo feel * assured it will be beneficial to thoso amoiuj whom you associate. - On behalf of the committee, ' P. Fraser, Mr. Procunier manifested much feeling in accepting the gift, and made a most grateful response to the address and the donors of the purse, referring to the two pleasant years .he had' spent here, and tho warm attachments hi' had formed for the place and its people, which he would remember with affection and cherish with gratitude wherever his duty as a minister might be performed. Songs and speeches followed and refreshments were served aud a most, enjoyable hour was spent in social converse. The occasion will be remembered as a 'very pleasant one indeed by all who participated in it. W. A. JOWKTT, MINING AND REAL ESTATE BROKER. NELSON, B. C. Lardeau & Slocan Pi'ospccts Wanted.

( Hc-.v he accomplished that journey " through the snow Btorm he, never rightly knew, but when he was obliged to leave the boat, as tho river would hive taken him out of his jyay beyond a certain point, he ������ bribed a homeless' tramp whom he found taking shelter in the deserted .bbathouse to help him carry "his brother,who," he said, "had mat with an accident," to the shed where he ,had left hie cob and phaeton. He placed Kate iii the carriage, and thus the tramp only saw'an inanimate figure wrapped in a brown ulster. 'And tho man, when the task was com- , pleteiL'went ou his way, glad of tho handful of silver given him for his pains, and, aa day after day took him farther away from this part of the country, he never heard of the strange disappearance of Kate Lilburue, and oven had he dono so, he would probably have failed to connect it with the piece of good fortune that had befallen him this bitter night. The poor animal was almost as much beaten as its driver when they at length reached their destination, and directly the girl was carried into tho house aud placed , < on a couch Frank roused his mother to at. 'tend to hor, then led 'the horso to the ' stable, where he hastily supplied him with food, water aud clean straw, and , left_ him. " When he returned to the house he found his mother standing by the side of the couch upon which Kate atill lay as"he had placed her. The old woman's face was while and stern, and when her son approached ,her, she i timed upon him angrily and asked : ��������� ".What have you done to her? Is sho , ' dead?" " ' "God 'only know3,"he replied dejectedly; "but 1 have done her no .harm. I have saved her from certain death if she i.s not ' already dead.

It was very well for her son to say thai o.h-id done Kate no harm.and'thathe had1 saved her life, but if his story were true, why hud he not'tasen her to hor father's house, instead of bringing iter hero without le.ive or license, 'and compromising her reputation by carrying her so many miles ttiiougii the dead of night?

Next to Mrs. Fairfield's love for Kate, however, was her appreciation of all that belonged to a daughter' of Lord Lilburne, and ' no woman, let her rank be what it would, could be more jealous of the honor of her house than was nurse Fairfield of the spotless reputation of the family she had served.��������� , , , " Grace was no favorite,of hers, but she would have done much aud suiiered much to have saved even her from a shadow, of shame. , , . ,But the very thought was maddening that the honor of the noble name^ of Lil; burno might be smirched and held up to derision and contempt by the act of her own'son���������a manupon whom the family had heaped benefits innumerable. ; ; , The situation,"viewed from every point; was agonizing, and but for tho anxiety she felt at Kate'B still unconscious condition, aud the droad sho had of making bad matters worse, she would at onee have started for Silverton Castle, and would havo entreated its owner to come without a moment's dolay tc his suffering child.' , r Hut Bhe dared not move, dared not take one step until she heard her son's account of this night's terrible work, and even then she would have to judge for herself whether or not there w*as truth, or even probability, in his story. It seemed a long time before Frank ro- turncd with tlie surgeon, who found the still unconscious girf undressed and in bod, and giving no sign of life beyond an occasional low, faint moan. Her white satin dress and everything she' had worn that evening had been carefully put out of sight, and, there she wat) nothing ;about her to indicate she was not Mrs. Fairfield's daughter. The doctor examined her, believing tho story told him that she had been , thrown from a gig. " There are no bones broken," he said at length ;" but 1 am afraid that her head has been seriously injured. -Apart of the skull is pressing upon thc.braiuTand, though she may, regain ner bodilv health, I very much fear her reason will be permanently affected. But I will come again in the morning." o Frank clasped hisdiands in despair when Mr. Kemble repeated thi3 opinion to him. Judging by his owu feelingB ho felt.that death would be ten thousand times preferable to madness. Ho showed >the doctor out of the house repressing his emotion as far, as possible, but when tho'front door was closed he did not dare to go near tho chamber,in which 'were his mother and poor Kate. Something in the face of the former had warned him to keep away until' she came to him. . , , . Now the intense strain of excitement was over, the necessity for exertion no longer existed, and nothing, but failure,'and despair stared him in the face, Frank Fairfield's physical and mental .strength gavo way beloro the prospect that appalled him. When his mother at length appeared,she found him so nearly unconscious that sho thought tor a time that oiie was .going to havo two invalids upon her hands instead of one. ��������� .Judging tliat he was suffering as much from exhaustion as anything, she made him swallow an egg beaten up iu brandy aud milk, and wheu he had slightly recovered she said .sternly : "Yo,i must make an effort to rouse yourself to meet the trouble you have brought upon us. Tell'me, in as few words'as possible what ha3 happened, for I mean to send for Lord Lilburne " once." Her cold, hard woi da ^seemed ���������to give him a fictitious strengtn, aud he told her the story of his adventure and of bis night's work, being careful alike to avoid excuse and exaggeration. "And"wii.it business ftad you outside Silverton C.-.stls at such a time demanded -.lu.-p'.y. "I only want, Kate," he r-.phe i, humtdy. "Catch i glimp-i-; .>.' Kite,'' she repeated with dl? ift'li.

I expected that Kate would be able to tell as who took her to that little room, but the doctor has dashed that hope to the ground." His arms fell listlessly by his side, and his hopeless helplessness seemed to infect his mother, for she���������having been standiug until now���������sank down on the nearest chair, and for the moment seemed overpowered by the terrible situation. She was a woman poaseaaing a great amount of self-control, however, and she soon recovered from her temporary weakness. ��������� "Tliere is another view of the matter which you don't seem to have thought about," she said, severely. "It woula have been bad enough for any man to have brought Kate from her father's roof in the middio of the night; but for you to have done so it was only to bring suspicion upon you and disgrace upon her." "Oh, yes; I have thought of all that," he replied bitterly ; "but when life is at stake oue forgets what malicious tongues may say about one's actions, and though Kate is nothing in kiuship to us, you are tho only mother Bhe has ever known, and when I brought lur to you it was the next best thing to giving her to her own father." "Aye, if I'd been a lady your argument might be" worth something," retorted his mother, severely j "but as it is you've only worked mischief as far as I can see.1' He made no reply. Taunts and reproaches might be levelled against him, but they could not undo the past, neither could they alter tho tragical aspect of the present. At length Mrs. Fairfield1 roso to her feet, remarking empliaticlly : "Well, if' you won't go to Lord Lilburne and tell him what has happened, I will." "Very well," he returned resignedly; "do aa you think best. I am willing to sutler any penalty for what I have done that the severest judge could inflict upon me, only remember, mother,, that' Kate's life is at stake.". , ' ' , ��������� "Kate's life!" . , '' The two words took all the temporary courage out of the nurse, and made her weak and, vacillating as her son. , "What would you have me do?" She asked. , "If you have the nerve to go to Silverton Castle as though nothing had happened and ask to see Kate, and liston to all they can tell you,' aud then act upon your owu judgment as to what is be3t' for her," he replied, "then J should say do it." '^'No'; if what you have told mo is true Isfiould break down," was her shuddering reply ; " and if it is not true" ' She paused, and he repeated her words questioningly., " If it is not true ! Do you doubt me ? She made no direct reply, but said evasively : - "'You had better go to Lord Lilburne; it is your duty, not mine, to do eo. " " No," he answered ; "'I will wait and Bee if Kate gets better. .When her reason returns thero will be no more cause for anxiety. No ; 1 won't go, I wil wait." His mother said no more, but left him, for at hor heart she was as unable to come to any decision as he was. , , As day'after day aud woek after week went by, however, tho doctor's tears became a 3ad reality. ' t Kate's body recovered from the shock she had leceived, and sho grew strong,and able to eat and drink and, walk about like a person in ordinary health. i ' Mentally, however, uhe was little better than an idiot ; sho had no memory, and no intellectual consciousness; her reasoning' faculties were dead or dormant, and the doctor who attended her shook his head when Fairfield suggested an operation to remedy the pressure on the brain. o���������tsxrE������������t;Trr?' purely OAMllil Mff S, CHAPTER IX. "Yet it is love, if thoughts of tenderness Tried in temptation, strengthened by distress, Unmoved by absence, firm in every clime, ,And yet; oh, more than all, uutired by time'." o The anxiety and grief that succeeded Frank's reiicue of Kate from tlio vault to which her sister has. consigned her, had blaiuhed the young man's hair and aged him as by the lapse of many years. Previous to this event he had not lived in tns motiicr'.** cottage, though when in Ku'_'iaud he uerjiienlly went to see her, but now, though it was torture for him to go tiiertt often, he could not'keep away for much modified by the knowledge that Kate was the affianced bride of the young nobleman, i -��������� Still, he was reasonable enough to know that this was what he might have expected, and what was sure to happen sooner' or later. > Kate's love was not for him, it was never to be ,his privilege, under any circumstances whatever, to call her his wife; and after the first pang of pain which the news caused him had passed* he felt that he ought to be glad lor her sake that she had given her heart to a man so well worthy ot her love and faith. , But Frank was convinced that he must be more than usually cautious. , It was not his own life that waa at stake. Kate was to be considered, and that he resolved that, until he had thought the matter over and taken counsel with his mother it would be best to learn all he couid and say as little as possible. ' l'he consequences of this course of conduct we know. ' And now we must return to Mrs. Fairfield's cottage, where, ifc will be remembered Lord Roland Ayre was very unwillingly following Kate's former nurse into an inner room, his anxiety to,hasten to Silverton Castle and make Grace confess what she had done witn her sister making him impatient ot a moment's delay. This back sitting-room was larger than the one iu which he had been received ; it was better furnished, too, and the window looked out upon a large garden thickly planted with tiuit trees. A work' basket with pretty, bright pieces of Bilk and wool and feminiue fancy work lay temptingly upon a small table, but its contents were untouched, a bright fire with a guard over it burned in the grate, and near it in a low easy-chair, with her hands, clasped listlessly upon her knee,'sat Kate Lilburne. < Lord Roland recognized her in an instant, though he was dimly conscious of some great chune'e haying ,taken placo .in the woman ho lovod, 'and' ho Bprang forward, exclaiming. , . ���������Kate, my owu'darjiug, I have found you at last!" " ' But she never roso to meet his embrace, sho barely glanced at him, but sat motion- leas with her eyes fixed vacantly upon the fire. ��������� A cold chill seemed to strike Itprd Roland to tho heart, and he.turned aud stood in questioning dismay to Mrs. Fairfield, who stood sadly looking on.

A despatch from London say3 :���������Extra ordinary scenes wero witnessed and precou" tions ofran extraordinary nature were taken upon the arrival at Southampton on Monday night on board the steamer Tartar Prince, froin Uuenos Ayrea, of Jabez Spencer Bsl- four, ex-M, P.,' whose extradition trom tho Argentine Republic*, was obtained aftor groat delay on tho charge of fraud in connection with the collapse of the Liberator Building Society. The steamer was met off Calshot castle by a police tug upon which Balfour was taken ashore, surrounded by a crowd of ,detectives aud policemen iu,uniform. The moat elaborate precautions were taken in order to prevent tho public from discovering where the prisoner was to bo landed, .as it was feared that an attempt might bo made ou his life. Tho police and Balfour finally reached tho railroad station at Southampton, where the latter was smuggled into a iirst-class railroad carriage, the shades of .which were drawn down. At Waterloo railroad station here an enormous crowd wore iu wailing. But Balfour and his escort , were landed at Vauxhall railway, and wore driven to Bow street Police Court. In spito of the precautions of the police the nows of tho arrival at Vauxhall of the notorious prime mover in tho management of the Liberator Society quickly spread, and when lie was driven from the railroad station to Bow street'tho carriage in which he was placed was followed by a big crowd of people, who shouted : "Here's Jahez," etc. ��������� During the voyaje from Uuenos Ayres Balfour was generally cheerful, and was soon on very Yricndly terms with the rest of the passengers. But at- Las Palmas he broke down completely, and wept bitterly. The proceedings at Bow street wero of the character usual upon such occasions. The prisoner was formally charged, the papers in the case were examined, and ho was remanded until the KUh inst., in order to enable the prosecution to complete thoir case against him. i.L ol.i-'rwif". ar.e wo'iid never l.AV-i be' i, lli'rUHt down "1'".

At Peking, on the contrary, no good'diuner is complete without a fillet or leg of dog. This custom, which seems so repugnant to us, is of very ancient origin. In Egypt, as far back as history goes, some; people used to piously embalm their dead dogs, while others judged it more economical to kill and eat them. Plutarch tells that the inhabitants of Cynopolis, where these animals were honored, made terrible and relentless war on the people of Oxyrinohis, who had "committed a sacrilege of this latter kind. Iu his book on " Diet," Hippo, crates, speaking of ordinary foods, expresses tho opinion that the flesh of the dog makes muscle, but that ifc is !', , DIFFICULT TO DIOE5T. ' ',-Our fathera,"says Pliny, the Roman historian, "regarded little dogs as a food so delicate that they were frequently served as tin expiatory sacrifice. To-day, even, the flesh of young dogs is served in banquets made in honor of tliegods." A little further on he says : "This meat' was employed in the repast at the installations of tho" Poutifb." According to Apicius,' who has loft to us a curious troatise on cooking, the Romans also ale full-grown dogs, which tboy first fattoned. , ��������� Tho North America IndianB, through scarcity of game, sometimes sacrificed their 'companions of the cliase, but among certain tribes, the Sioux", for example, tho dog has always been a favoiite article of food. , It is said'that before the introduction of horned cattle into Mexico the Spaniards ate so many of tho native dogs that tho Bpeciea completely disappeared. According to Capt. Cook, tlie. New Zealandors ato thoir dogs aud used their skins for clothing., They preferred thi.s meat to pork. In Africa id is a delicacy.

Miistu then proposed a plan to kidnap lhe Mikado, for whose protection only a small bodyguard remained, and to hi ing him into Saiga's camp, therclty disarming him, so tot-peak,the imperial army. For this purpose 20,0 tried veterans were secretly assembled in tho Province o; Kiu- Siu, wi'h orders to march upon Kioto at a given moment.

Scotland Yard the most 'famous detective centre in the world, owes its fame to fiction���������that is, to novels. Story writers, le"d by CHarles Dickens, have centered detective tales without number about it, and Scotland Yard, as the public knows it, is their creation. Many writers of romance, good and bad, have had a hand in its building, and it ia a strange and wonderful structure. Shrewd sleuths off duty lounge about it,' waiting for great crimes which they may clear away, and in their idle moments telling grewaome stories of-extraordinary sinnerB. Shrewd sleuths on duty, clad ever in elaborate disguises, glide from dark ��������� doorways out into the highways and tho "byways to recover stolen neckiades of incredible value, to find abducted maidens, ,, to hunt* down Jack-the-Rippers, to solve the dark and bloody puzzles of impossibly , mysterious murders. THE REAL SCOTLAND YARD. This is the Scotland, Yard of fiction.'The Scotland Yard of fact is a handsome red brick building, elaborately trimmed with , graystone, and'facing the Thames. It is ', one of the highest'buildinga in London and somewhat resembles the modern American office building. < ��������� ,, ������������������ . Its interior is very plain and matter-of- fact, with smooth white walls and tiled corridors. Nowhere within its doors'ia there any hint'ot sensationalism. The building was designed especially to afford a headquarters for the vast police business of the British metropalis, aud it is business ��������� from its foundation stones to its weather vanes. ���������. , - But the real Scotland Yard is as interesting in its way as the Scotlald Yard of 'the fictionists ha s been. One reason why [*}-������t. ^CTrr7mMti,i,^., *j 'Himn I u kMA? and a habit of emphasizing his conversation by the aid of a corpulent forefinger, which was iu constant juxtapoaition with his eyes or nose,'' was, in reality. Inspector Field, whose memory is still greet). Field was also the original of Inspector Bucket, in " Bleak House." Inspector Stalker, one of Dickens's characters, was Inspector Walker in real'life. There are many men stilll on the force who remember Thornton, the man whom Dickens changed to "Dornton,'' the Sergeant "famous for pursuing the inductive process, and, from small beginnings, working on from clue to clue until he bags his man.'' Sergt. Mith, who told the butcher's story at the detective's party in the office of'Household Words, is Sergt. Smith, still alive and nearty. To this day he seems .qualified to play the part of a butcher's boy in order to spy upon receivers of stolen goods, and one can'understand that "even while he spoke he became the greasy, sleepy, sly, good-natured, nnsuspioious, chuckle-headed and confiding young butcher. His .very hair seemed to have suet iu it) as he made it smooth upon his head, and his fresh complexion to be lubricated with large quantities of animal food." A tragic story is , that of the detective wh >m Dickens celebrated aa ".Sergt. Wit- chern" in his youth. His true name was Whieher, and he, did for thirty years good and faithful work in Scotland Yard. At last he was assigned to tho "Road Murder Case," a crime somewhat Bimilar in its circumstance. . the Borden murder in Fall River, Mas.*.. The victim was a young girl. Detective Whieher'suspectsd and arrested her stepsister. , When the case went to court it was found that he had little real evidence, and public sentiment was overwhelmingly opposed to ted in London und in American cities pro rata of population, and some reason for the English balance of virtue will be found in the greater number of policemen there. r' A3 DICKON'S KNEWTHEM. It, was these three rooms which Dickens knew. 'Detectives and police were then under separate administrations, and detectives wero called upon only when the police made a failure of a case. ��������� Any one'who was willing to pay the cost anywhere in, the United Kingdom had the rieht io'call for a detective from Scotland, Yard, however, and it was by no means unusual for members of this famouB group of detectives to be sent outside of the Queen's domain. At present a Scotland Yard detective, is not permitted to leave London, except on rare occasions. It,was from this old force that Dickens gathered material for the detective sketches which first made him "famous. 'Inspector The ranks are these :" Constable, sergeant, inspector (analogous to 'he New York police captain) ; superintendent (an- alagoua to the New York inspector) ; chief superintendent (analogous to New York's superintendent). Peyond these tliere are a commissioner and three a3aistantcommissioners. These, in turn, are subordinate to the Home Secretary���������now Mr. Aaquite '���������who is also known &s the Secretary of of State. Thus the police of London are practically a Government institution, as the Home Secretary i3 a Queen's Cabinet Minister. FAVORITISM IMPOSSIBLE. The safeguards against favoritism in the acceptance of men for the force are many. The candidate is first examined by a district or precinct surgeon and then by a chief Burgeon appointed by the Home Secretarye Then he may,be put on probation for four, teen dayB or longer, duriug which time h- receives a small wage and is drilled on thg drill ground at Scotland Yard, residing meanwhile in the candidates' barrackse After appointment he is drafted into some district or prectinct in which a vacancy exists, and must live, and, if he is married, his family must live, in that district. ' , Promotions are made every week, and their reasons and results are published in a weekly "Police Order." A conetablo whose work seems to have'merited promotion is recommended to a committee of inspectors for advancement by the sergeant." This committee considers the case and may promote the constable to a sergeantship. In a similar way sergeants are selected by the inspectors and recommended to the superintendents for advancement to inapectorahips, and inapectors are recommended' by the auperintendents to the commissioner for advancement to superintendentshipB. No man can hold an important position unless he rises ,from the ranks, and none but men who havo risen from the ranks can pass upon his merits. There is, besides a Promotion Board, consisting of six superintendents aud an assistant commissioner, who must approve every promotion decided upon by any of the committees before it can go into effect.. The Home Secretary' has summary power of removal, but he has no power ot appointment. A man recommended'by the Queen herself would nave to go through this routine and begin at 24 shillings a week before he could attain an important position in the police. 1 NOT AS CLEVER AS AMERICANS. Constables must slop disturbances, - , ������������������ TIIE NEW SCOTLAND VAI5D HEADQUARTERS. * ", , ' writers have so utterly gone wroug when they^ approached London detectives and their work is that the police here like to shroud their operations in manifold^*-mysteries. Among the officials, oxcepting Chief , Superintendent Shore���������as houeat and hearty a gentleman as one may meet in a day's journey���������there ia an intimation that detect/fe work,is full of red fire aud melodrama. An ex-inspector who was -with the correspondent in a miserable Whitechapel lodging-house gravely assured him that th ere was not a man in the place who w ould not have cut his throat if tho police had not been along to protect him,although an experienced eye could quickly class the inmatrs of the place as simple paupers, and as far from professional criminality as possible. The ex*-inspector well knew that a beef-fed citizen, with a good, thick club, could have driven the wholo unfortuuate crew irom the Whitechapel to the Highlands of Scotland if the)*; had strength to run but he liked to pose. Scotland Yard fronts on tho Thames embankment, but it is as easily accessible from Whitehall, tho broad thoroughfare which leads from Trafalgar Square to the Houses of Parliament. The big building stands on ono side of a great court and towers high above its neighbors. It is Burrounded by a jumble of cabs for a good part of tho day���������conveyances iu which complaints have come to state their case, or officers to "file their reports." It is the headquarters of tho Metropolitan Police, made up of two branches���������the eonstabu- ' lary (or uniformed men) and tho Criminal Investigation Department (or detective force). Tho word "detective" is raroly u'sod. The private detective offices are known as "Private Inquiry Bureaus," Loudon,'it should be explained, is under control1 of two municipal governments.

They are scarcely expected to pursue and capture evil-doers afler a crime has been committed, however���������that is the work of th : detective department. This is not addmitted 'in London, but it is proved by tho fact that a oouBtablo who distinguishes himself by actually arresting a burglar,', a highway robber, a murderer, an important pickpocket or any other 'serious sinner,'* is almost invariably and very promptly promoted. < It is partly in ttiat way that tho detective force is recruited. Many meu.are chosen for it, also, out of the two hundred or three hundred constables who, ,duriug tho" "season"���������the months,when royalty and the1 aristocracy are in town���������are dotailed to duty in "plain clothes."

" COMBINING TWO INDUSTRIES. was' present thought he was a "prodigy" hired by the school authorities, and in bis endeavors to gratify his curiosity he turned young Cinquevalh's thoughts in quite an unexpected direction. He easily obtained admission to a circus troupe, and after very ittle preliminary training he made his public appearance at Odessa as a performer on the high wire. Most of tho - feats are characterized as much by their novelty of invention as by the dexterity with which they aro accomplished',' and Mr. Cinquevalli, like every other imaginative artist, finds the accidents of his experience the most fruitful source of his inspiration. His "traveler's trick," as it may bo called���������the juggling with the hat, au umbrella and a portmanteau���������occurred to him as he was waiting for a train at an out-of-the-way American station. It did not occur to him that the trick was of any value, but the few onlookers, were so struck by its novelty that he at once saw it would prove a valuable addition lo his public repertory. Mr. Cinquevalli has fonnd, like other public men, tnatapp.auso is frequently, to be obtained by the least difficult accomplishments.*' His "billiards trick" is, for instance, one of phenomenal difficulty���������he is, I believe, the only jugglor who has successfully attempted it ���������but aa a certain amount of scientific reasoning power is required to thoroughly understand it, soveral of his ordinary feats are much better received. To perform it he.holds a glass between his teeth. In this glass a billiard ball is wedged. OiAhis ho balances a second ball, than a billard cue; on the end of the oue be catches a third ball, jerked upward from his right hand; and on top of this structure'he catciieB a fourth ball. The balls are perfectly spherical, and one may easily comprehend tho extraordinary nature ot this-featby picturing the difficulty of balancing even one ball upon another. Although Mr.' Cinquevalli abandoned ���������rdioary acrobatic work because of the risk, his performance includes a feat which, if he failed in its acccmplishmont by a hair's breadth, would kill him instantly. This is to throw a cannon ball some twenty feet into the air and allow it to descend in a direct line with his forehead until it is only some eighteen inches distant, when he suddenly ducks his head forward and receives the ball between his shoulders. He also catches it on the edge of a dinner plate. His feat of holding a man in the air while juggling is at once a proof of his strength and dexterity. Mr. Cinquevalli finds it impossible at all times to get through hiB*day'a engagementa aud his "daily practice. To moot this difficulty he hasdoviaod a curious oxereiso, which enableB him to accomplish both at the same time. While writing his lettors with one baud he keeps four billiard balls ju the air with the other. SPECIFIC FOR GERM DISEASES. rrofonuclcln Appears to be All That If 1 Claimed for If. A despatch from New York says :���������The experiments that have been made here,with protonuolein as a cure for cancer''appears to bear out all that is claimed for the new , treatment. Drs. G. A. Mack and Joseph E. Janvrin both speak highly of it. Dr. Walter P. Wells, under whose auspices the recent tests have been made in the skin and'cancer hospital, is not the discoverer nor the inventor of the product' know as protonuclein. The man who has actually developed the new remedy and put it into , the form in which-it-is. now being used is said to be Professor Schweitzer, a German chemist. Dr. Wells consented to give a more min- - ute description of the remedy, its properties and its methods of manufacture and, use. " The active element in this Teat- riient," he said, " is the leucocyte, or the white blood corpuscle, spoken of in the account of the experiments of Dr. Louis Waldstein with pilocarpine���������the leucocyte long recognized as tho natural scavenger and disease destroyer of the system ; nature's only real ^anti-toxin. Our method is lo reinforce nature by tho ap- , plication of .the leucocytes to diseased tissues, thereby destroying tho rperverted cell growth, whatever its kind and wherever ��������� placed. The morbid growth once destroyed, nature restores tho proper equilibrium. It is my own belief that this remedy will ��������� prove to be efficucioun in any and all diseases which are of microbic origin. , "Leucocytes watched under the microscope have'' been observed to, takoup fine granules of particles to be removed from the system. Metschnikoff laid special stress upon the activity of leucooytes, and spoke of them as 'eating' the parts they wero to remove. He called such cells 'phagocytes.' Iir cold blooded animals leucocytes have been seen to emorge out of small coagula in.- a moist surrounding and move about in tho serum. The amoeboid movements are of special interest ou account of'their enabling the 'wandering out' of colorless blood corpuscles through the walk of the blood vessels. ' ''Tho leucocytes adhering to the walls of the blood vessels send out a process which' penetrates quito through tho wall. After , passage the leucocyte, iu its centro, is constricted, the" body having been drawn through the wall of the blood veBscl by its own amoeuoid movements. '' "It is regarded now as not at^all farfetched t,o assume that Provideneo should havo endowed the polynuelcar, or moro aetivo and stronger leucocytes, to act as o. guard to'the well-being ot the Bystem at- large���������to patrol the highways of the system . and act as standing armies or scavengers to resist tho constant invasions ,ot disease f germs at all times seeking admission to the system in tho air we breathe, the water we drink and in tho food we eat."

In his "English intervals he remembered clearly what had happened in previous English period.**, but his .memory' was a blank to what occurred during the Welsh stages. Ho preferred to'write with his right hand, but if aakod to do so, would , write with his left hand, and then the writing was from right to loft* Mr. Bruce, who observed the case, infers from it that the cerebral hemispheres aro capablo of individual mental action, that the one men tally active at any time can control the motor functions, and that tho patient lives two separate existences, during the two stages through which ho passes, tho ��������� mental impressions in each oxisteuce being recorded in one cerebral hemisphere only. Bread Bakers at War. A despatch from Rochester, N.
