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.

Curfew is a corruption of "couvre feu,", which means "cover the lire.'" The"1 curfew was rung to protect life and property in a time when houses were mostly built of wood,and there were, no engines, as ,nbw, to extinguish a conflagration and no water was to be' immediately obtained. It was'a useful and necessary regulation ( in its day, when barbarity characterized the times, and it was'doubtless very rigorously enforced. '��������� The custom was-prevalent in t many European ���������countries, and old authors indicate j that curfew was known in Eng-' land .'before the Norman invasion (10GG), and it was continued for GOO years after the Coniiucror died. . The' practice of ringing the bell at 9'o'clock nt night was observed for many years in New England villages, as elsewhere, but as town clocks and other timekeepers became generally used and as there no longer existed the necessity for'enforcing the custom it has ceased;���������Woman's Home Companion.

BY, KARL PAULI. ��������� ,00000000000000000000000000 C I once wrote a play, unfortunately r.ot .my only ono; sineo then I havo<-sinnoiJ ���������similarly a number of. times. Perhaps .���������the gentle, reader may hayo seen my ' - "same on soinc'theutcr programme. If he . then neglected at to inline; the performance, * hfj made a great mislake. in my humble!; ' opinion, nnd I advise him as a friend lu - .make it good at ihe 'next opportunity, 'particularly'as the German -stage niana- jer.i,. who underrate ,my, merits, very ��������� 'iioldom give one of my works, which hits not prevented my'writing: -\ plays, with 62 nets nnd ~'.V2 scenes. r To proven!, mis- 'takoi allow mo to'remark that tioi eitch of the _1 plnys contained (52 acts nwl'7__ -���������cenep. but altogether they beast that 'number. But all this does not - .here, and I lie;,' pardon for the,digression. It I tin: not mistaken, I mentioned in the bejririninx that I hail v.-rilten it play. It waa not a live act tragedy. tor-a three act comedy; oh, no. only a modest little one act piece dtad flowed-from my pen, ~ nnd when I saw what I had done���������behold , -it was very jrood. Xo wonder that I quickly decided to deprive the world no . longer of this enjoyment, nor myself o! the laurels of fame. I had the link ,,;.-iy neatly copied and sent it to a theatrical publisher. At that time I had-,not the mid experience of today. 1 was innocent , enough to think theatrical publishers and agents read tho effusions of unknown authors; therefore I was not a littlo'sur- , prised to have my,play returned to me after about four weeks, with a polite printed letter, in which the publisher informed mo that he had no, use for the , play.,' The first day I was. very much dc- "jiresHed,"' tlie second annoyed; finally, on the third day, I came to the conclusion that "that ass of a publisher" knew noth- "ing about it. packed up my play ayiihi ������������������ and sent it to another. i, ' The same result, with the difference that the second publisher sent back the ..MS. not prepaid. ��������� so' I called him a ."blockhead," , who, knew less than the ^flrst.-'and*sent it off to a third. But this ono atop'sent it back���������tin'.. tirn������(registered and1 not prepaid. I laid It aside In ailent, resignation. " Some lime lifter chance took me to a larg������ town nnd another chance led lo my acquaintance with a mannyer of a theater, who hy clitince was stayinj; there. , As a matter of course I did tint neglect this combination of lucky chances. I gave him my lit lie play." which I. by another chanee, had by inc. and he promised bi������j to read it as .soon as possible. Uu kept his word sooner ihitn 1 expected, for tho next day lie'wrote me he wasiiUdiglited with the play and would bring- it out with pleasure, if I would not require a royalty. Inclosed was a for- " mula for a postollico money order for 13 marks 3 pfennig, made out tu the man- azer. the price of 1_ tickels. Ifow (diabby! I would not insist upon the royally. What did that' mailer? 1 would also take (he 1_ tickets���������one must encourage art���������but the 5 pfenui^e. which ia the postman's porquisiio for delivering tha money, he might have uiana-od to ���������pay himself. If his postscript had not contained an Invitation to the first ro-��������� Jiearaal of my play, to take place the nett day but one. 1 do not know what I HBouliJ l������nvr done, but as it was I swallowed my frriraiiun e.nd sent (he money.. The day dawned. The rehearsal \vn."=i set for II o'clocli. Ai 7 1 was up. The ereliiup beforr I hail looked through Les- sing's "Dramatur-gif-" and Klein's "History of the Drama" and over tho many ���������b6uuro passages I had become a littl's stnpider than I usually am. At half past 9 I eould stand my room no longer and want out of doors. Seven times I walked up aad down the street in. which the tfkaator was, the cigfitli time I ventured |s, far tys $e gJillwc a*'J, by the tauty J look a boia resolution and walker! In. Oh, how desolate the great hall looked! It was a rather low class smoking theater. Empty and half empty beer glasses stood on the tables which filled the half lit space. Cross looking waiter;, with their shirt sleeves rolled up, moved about between the rows of chairs. The curtain was half raised, and on the' dark stage stood all sorts of furniture in wild confusion. An unpleasant feeling overcame me. Was this the golden gate of the temple of art?' I ordered,a glass of beer. It wa; very bad.. It was uot yet 10 o'clock. At 10 I ordered a second glass.- It was stilt worse. The minutes dragged along on leaden feet. I took tip a paper, but found no sense in what I read. ������To this, day I do not know whether the newspaper oi my condition of mind was in fault. A quarter to 11������ They must corns soon. .Every time the door opened I started up from my place, always in vain single actor appeared. > Eleven struck. The door opened rose to greet the manager. ' (l It was a newspaper boy. I,threw the unhappy one a look which would, have slain an ox, if it were possible to slay tic ox with looks. , , A,quarter past ll.1 ���������' 1 nervously studied' the' hands of watch. Ten more minutes passed. 1 ordered another glass of beer in ordei to ask the'waiter when rehearsals usually began here. An-inarticulate grunt gave me lo uudcrstand that ho did not know himself. I decided to give him only 5 pfennige tip out of revenge. At last the mauuger appeared.' "A,thousand' pardons,' my dear sir!" h< cried. "The rehearsal is inipossiblo today. My wife is busy with the wash, and as il is necessary in the piece that"��������� *" ' '"What! The wash is necessary ia lbs piece?"'I asked. "Oh,, no; my wife���������aud she is washing today," he replied. ,, , ' ������ - "Ah, your wife is a washerwoman?" J said, witli somo malice. "What?" he returned, looking suspiciously at me. My blood boiled. "I must infer from 'your words," I answered, "that,sho considers the drama a secondary matter"��������� "What are you thinking of?" he interrupted me. "My wifa, is, an actress, a very line actress���������but on washing day! You know what women are."- ' I did not know���������then.' "Besides," he went ori, "it' is not so iBcrious.' On your account I arranged several rehearsals; ordinarily a piece lik��������� that'is knocked into shape with'one. But como tomorrow morning, and ,wo' will really set to work." ��������� , After somo hesitation I finally promised to put in an appea'ranca, and tlie next day, I arrived five minutes after the appointed time. Again in vain. Neither,actor nor'manager was'to be seen. ' ' ��������� ' I waited patiently for half an houn , At'last I persuaded a boy who chanced belong'-j to bocprescrit to go for a consideration tc the manager and ask about the rehearsal!. In 13 minutes ho returned with the-an-,: ewer, "The manager and the entire theat- : rical .company, having attended a festiv- I ity given by a patron of art the evening ! before, nro seriously indisposed." j -' The messenger expressed himself much , less delicately, but out of consideration for my readers I have revised his words, This, answer struck me dumb. I reallj thought my patience was' now at an- end aud I should withdraw, the-play, but one is often mistaken and'particularly often in- oneself. ' At first I firmly decided tc have the whole thing given up. After an hour I thought I would only threaten to withdraw, and at last came to the con- I elusion to leave things as they were. But I would not attend another.re- ! hearsal. I was firm on that point, aud solemnly I swore it by the head of Patro- clus and the virtue of the 11,000 virgins, t Every' ono of my readers will expect that I went,,after all, and, suro enough. I > did go, after a long explanation with the ,' manager! who came himself to see me. J This time neither tricky fortune nor ' bad faith intervened. Everything was in place, the troupe assembled, the stage in order. ' 1 look my place in the manager's chair,' ���������esi_e the prompter's' box. The boll rang, the prompter opened his book. &n<j lho first scene of my first play began fts first rehearsal. - - What I expected occurred. Xobodj knew, ono word. The first actor spoke tho first sentence in such a manner as to give a totally wrong meaning. Tho second, whose opening words were "Ventre ���������Saint Gris!" understood Henry IV's favorite oath to be a person, and interrupted the rehearsal, with tho remark that the representative of >E. St. Gris had not yet arrived. The third did not como in at the proper place, and when he was asked tho reason ho contended that ho had not had his cue, which was ha- ha-ha. "That is laughter," I cried. "Of course," bo answered, "but. Sc'hmilt laughed he-he-he, Instead of ha-' ha-ha, and how could I know that it win my cue?" I cast up my eyes (o heaven iu despair. For a time I looked on quietly, but when each scene showed more and* more plainly the performers' atrocious memories I was seized with intense nervousness and was only kept from an outbreak by a feeling that I should be laughed at. But when ono of the actors rendered tho horrified exclamation, "What-, deserters in my housu:" by "What honor for my bouse!" spoken in joyful accent! and with a pleasant smile, then the bar- ricrs of artistic calm were broken down. I laid dowu the blue pencil and announced the rehearsal nt an end. "That r.is impossible," protested t_<- manager from the audience. "The* programmes are printed, tha play is tonight." ".Never!" i cried. "Oh. .-?.n . _<_.".. h_ p.aid soothingly; (To-bo cuuUnuotl.,) SOO PACIFIC LINE Araeriee's Great Trans-Continental Route Quick Time! ii ,,, Oood~Service~h < First Class and Tourist Sleepers From 0882n .to Ocean ! ; I, ' Ticket-; Js-st:fil Through nnd Daggago Ghecki/il'to Destination.
