PRACTICAL MEN MAKING A SUCCESS OF PUMPING WATER For Hydraulic Mining-���Ore Shipments Again Beginning- to Amount to Something in the Aggregate���A Gold Claim that Promises Well���Brought His Miners in With Him from Nova Scotia. Practical men are making a success of hydrulic mining by the pumping method on Salmon river. Jlardman 6c Babb who have two leases, 5U00feet in all, on the east side oi' the river about a mile above its mouth, have put in a steam plant and pump water from the river to a height of forty feet. The water i.s then used in the the ordinary way for sluicing. The gravel is fine, easily worked, and pays about 50 cents a yard. Ilardman & Babb, in order to get in their engine and boiler, built four miles of wagon road at their own expense. On the west side of the river, and near its junction with the Pond d'Oriolle, Mr. Litchfield is ground-sluicing and prospecting a lease. 1-1 e also intends, if tlies grounds prospects well, to pntina pumping ing plant like that of .Ilardman 6c Jiabb's. The Kootenay Hydraulic Company, that has twelve miles of leases on Pend d'Orielle river, will put iu a pumping plant with a capacity.of.1 .,000 gallons a minute. This company has already spent thousands of dollars in making wagon roads, digging ditches, and building flumes. The Silver King. As soon as the railway is open through to Spokane, which will be within a few days, The Hall Mines, Limited, will begin shipping the ore now stored at Nelson. Forty tons were taken to Five-mile mile point by the Nelson on Wednesday night. The first one hundred tons will go to Denver, and it is said that future operations at the mines will hinge largely on the returns received from this shipment. The freight rate to Denver is $14 a ton. At present about six tons a clay are brought down from the mines by Wilson's teams, but it is understood-more teams are to be put oii, so that from twelve to fifteen tons can be landed at Nelson daily. The machinery at the mines was started up this week and worked to the satisfaction of the management. - *' The Two Idahos. There are two mines in Slocan district by the name of \"Idaho.\" One is situate in the vicinity of the Blue Bird and the other is located in Twin Lake basin. An immense body of ore has been uncovered on the one, and a good showing is in sight on the oilier. . Tho one_ has had its cabins burned and the other is threatened with destruction. But which is which? Isn't there iuiu.es enough to go round for the mineral locations in Slocan district? Recorders should refuse to record locations named the same as otlier locations previously recorded. Will Begin Work Next Year. Captain 11. C. Adams of Montreal, who has mining interests in the Slocan and Boundry Creek sections of southern British Columbia, was in Nolson this week in attendance at court. Speaking in a general way of his intentions, captain Adams said lie was getting crown grants for the more valuable of his claims, but did not intend to develop them until he had good titles. It was too late, anyway, to begin work, this year; but next spring he expected to work some of the properties on a large scale. _____ Developing Gold Prospects. Charles IT. Park of Salt Lake City, who has a working bond on the Sundown, a gold claini 8k miles south of Nelson, has a tunnel in 05 feet on the property, and will have to extend it 2-10 feet farther to reach the ledge. Mr. Park is also likely to do some work on a gold prospect on Hall crook, owned by Frank Fletcher and partners, which is said to be one of the best showings for a gold mine yet discovered iu Nelson district. Forty-Nine Creek Placers. The Nelson Hydraulic Company is now piping to roach bedrock. The work is being done satisfactorily, although the water is. a trifle low. Louis IS verso n is at work on the next lease above, which is owned by John A. Turner and partners, and he says it prospects as well as any ground he has yet seen in British Columbia. The gold is rough, an indication that it has not traveled far. Brought His Miners With Him. D. W. McVicar of Walton, Nova Scotia, arrived at Nelson on Tuesday with eleven men to work on property he has bonded in Ains.vorth district. _ He claims that the men have been in his employ ti number of years and that thoy receive tho wages prevailing in Ainsworth district. A Gold Mill Brought in. The 5-stamp mill for the O K mine, in Trail Creek district, was landed at Trail this week. It will be run ��� by steam. Slowly, but surely, is tho gold mining industry being developed in South Kootenay. Minor Mining Notes. The London Times of .July 7th has the following: \"Two trlul shipments of argentiferous copper ore from the Hull mines, Hrillsh Columbia, have lieon made. One, of llrsl.-grade ore, assayed ul, Swansea, gave Mli ounces Hi Ivor and 11. |ier cent copper lo Llio ton cif __J0 pounds, und lhe oilier, of second-grade ore, assayed at Denver, Colorado,!_.(_ ounces silver, O.l.'l ounce gold, and and 10.118 per eenl, copper per ton of 2001) pounds.' John A. .Finch and associates have about, fifty men employed in developing the.Slocan mines in which Ihcyaro interested, namely, thu Itcid & Robertson group of seven claims, Llio Wonderful group of live, Llie Mammoth group of I wo,.Lhe (Jarboiutte group of four, and Llie Iron (Jrown group of four. A trail is being made between Salmon siding on the Nolson & Fort Sheppard railway and Sheep creek, a distance of live miles or so. At.Sheep creek connection is made with the old Dewdney trail, a trail LhaL could easily mid at small expense bo made a wagon road. Revelstoke Mail, ISth: \"The Silver How mine at, Mai creek, near Illeciilowaet, has forty tons of ore ready for packing out, Lo Lhe railway. A packer is wanted Lo conLracL for carrying Lhe same a distance of seven miles. Tom Avison and partner of New Denver have been over in lhe Trout Lake country prospecting. They made Lbree locaLions, and brought buck specimens of high-grade galena. What is locally known as the Haskins claims on Healoy crook, in Lanleau district, are being surveyed for crown grains. An Incongruous Outfit. Captain .John Irving, manager of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company of Victoria, has been, or will be, returned as member for Cassiar. In commenting on the result, the Victoria Colonist says: \"As we fully expected, captain Irving conies from the north victorious. Cassiar is to 'be congratulated on having for its representative in the legislature an energetic and a capable man of business. He will look well after its interests, and he will not let any chance of benefiting its inhabitants slip. Captain Irving is a valuable addition to the legislative assembly. He is a worker rather than a talker, and workers are what the country wants in that body.\" If a worker and not a talker is what is wanted from Cassiar, why was a talker and not a worker wanted from South Kootenay? During the campaign iu South Kootenay the government party's chief argument in behalf of their candidate was that he was a talker, and that the 'district would suffer if a talker was uot elected. Verily, the government party is an incongruous outfit. The Crow's Nest Pass Railroad. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says: \"Work on the Canadian Pacific's Crow's Nest cut-off, from the main line in Alberta to a connection with the Nelson & Fort Sheppard at Nelson, British Columbia, has been ternporarily abandoned, and will not be resumed until next spring. The completion of this line would have given the Canadian Pacific an entrance into Spokane, and by traffic, arrangements with' the' Oregon Railway & Na\\ .gatidh' Company it could have got into Portland, Oregon.\" No work was being done on tho Crow's Nest Pass road, therefore work could not have been abandoned. That the road will be built is not to be doubted; but it will not be built until the Canadian Pacific is easy financially. At present it is hard up for money���as hard upas were the Seattle banks last summer. The Political Bee Still Buzzing in His Bonnet. The members of the government party in and about Kaslo have no confidence whatever in tho member-elect from South Kootenay, and they do not propose to allow him to represent them at Victoria. They intend to have their own representative on the ground, if not on the floor of the house. To that end they are joining the South Koritenay Progressive Association of Kaslo, of which defeated candidate G.-O. Buchanan is president. One of the objects of the association is to send, so it is said, Mr. Buchanan to Victoria to look after the interests of South Kootenay in general and Kaslo in particular. If the people of South Kootenay had wanted Mr. Buchanan to look after their interests at Victoria they would have elected him member. ' Victoria Unduly Represented. By the election of captain Irving for Cassiar, the city of Victoria will be unduly represented in the legislative assembly for the next four years. Under the redistribution bill she was given four members, yet according to the returns she has been allowed to elect no less than ten members, namely, Theodore Davie, C. \\L Pooloy, W.M. Higgins, E. C. Eberts, R. P. Rithet, John Irving, IT. D. Helm- chen, John Braden, J. II. Turner, and James Hunter. To tliese ten two inoro should bo added, for they are practically residents of Victoria, namely lieutenant- colonel James Baker and James Brydeu. The next legislative assembly may be a representative one, but will not thecity of Victoria be unduly represented in it? The Manner of His Proposal. ; A young man, who looked every inch the bridegroom, stood in the rotunda of the Great Northern hotel the other day, says the Chicago Times, telling a friend of the maimer'of his-proposal to his bride. She had known of his wild ways and fondly hoped to reform him through marriage. .\"After 1 had popped the question and she had accepted nie,\" ho said, \"I at once began to talk about the wedding. 'Wo will go away somewhere by ourselves, my dear,' I said; 'there will bo no flourish, no cards, no ceremony'���-here she interrupted mo, and, with a dignified swoop of her arm, declared 'Mr. , I shall certainly insist upon a ceremony.\"' The Charges* Will be Investigated. The acting government agent at Revelstoke lias received instructions to notify John Sanderson to be at Nelson on September 7th to prove the charges lie preferred last February against Napoleon Fitzstubbs, assistant commissioner of lauds and works in West Kootenay. The attorney-general himself will probably conduct tho investigation. CHINESE ARE NOT DESIRED, And Their Importation to Canada Should be Restricted. The people of eastern Canada, like tho people of the eastern states of the republic to the south, believe that natives of China should be as free to come and go as natives of any other country. They believe that the common offices of humanity and friendship should be as freely extended, to Chinese as to English or Scotch or Irish. They believe that in favoring the restriction of the importation of Chinese, the people of British Columbia, and of the' Pacific coast generally, are governed entirely by motives that are unchristian. The Telegraph of St. John, New Brunswick, has been most bitter against the people of British Columbia for attempting to restrict tho importation of Chinese,' and its denunciations has brought out the following letter to its editor from a working-man in Victoria. The letter is worth reading, for it expresses the sentiments'- of every man in British Columbia who' believes that if the importation of Chinese is not restricted, British Columbia will simply become an abiding place for a few landed and manufacturing plutocrats. Sir: It was as if one of the foundations of Liberalism had been knocked from under nie, when I read tho editorial,- which appeared in the Weekly Telegraph of Juno 27th tilt., anent the Chinese question. If the remainder of the Dominion had a proportionate Chinese population in comparison, to British Columbia, it would mean that more than half the present inhabitants would have to emigrate; as their living would be wrested from them by the Chinese. Picture to yourself, Now Brunswick, with a population of 80,000 Chinese, who would be employed as sawmill hands, section men on the railroads, as laborers around all manufactories, in salmon eauneries, lime burner., plasterers' help, farm help, gardeners, restaurants, etc.; in fact monopolizing more than two-thirds of the labor performed ih the province. Besides this they_ would also enter into competition with the farmers, as thoy would in all probability supply the demand in market gardening,, besides engaging in general farming, un-J derselling. the white mail every time. P rather thiiik that the dust would accumu: late all over Ungar's laundry,: You have been lahieutiug, during the past \"few years, about tho exodus to the United States; but the past exodus would be nothing in comparison to the future one, if New Brunswick received within the next few years a Chinese population in proportion to British Columbia. There is another side to be considered. How would the merchants fare in the changed conditions, as the Chiuese only trade among themselves. Besides 80,000 Chinese probably numbers man for man of the present adult male population of New Brunswick. Do you think that New Brunswick, under the circumstances portrayed above, would be the most un-British and undesirable place to live in under the British flag? Further, does it not seem terribly unjust that the Canadian should be crowded to the wall in his own land by Chinese slave labor? Just thiuk of it, that if New Brunswick had its quota of Chinese in comparison to British Columbia, that the whole lot would not makeup over half a dozen subscriptions to the newspapers, aud would also play havoc in the advertising columns. Look at the situation in this light, and the benefits to be derived from Chinese immigration are not quite so apparent as the Presbyterian Assembly would have us believe. It will probably surprise people in eastern ^Canada to know that no man with political aspirations to a seat in the local house or in the house of commons would dare openly espouse the cause of the Chinese from the platform in British. Columbia. This may seem overdrawn, but it is as plain a statement as I can make of tho situation in British Columbia, so far as the Chinese and labor are concerned. I expect that there is not much need to say that the Chinese will work at half the wages or less paid a white man. I only hope that the day is not far distant when Canada shall close her gates completely to Chinamen. Then would come a new dawning of prosperity, owing to an influx of proper immigration, giving an impetus to trade, such as would cause the merchants and tradesmen of British Columbia to pause and wonder how it was tluit they so patiently stood the curse of Mongolian- ism so long. - Clever but Cynical. Walter Besant, the well-known novelist, gives the following 'maxims, which are at once as cynical as they are clever: Out of ton men nine tire born to work for tho tenth. Resolve to be the tenth. Without trampling tho cleverest cannot get rich. The consolation of those who fall is to deprecate those who succeed. The greatest things tire done by the greatest fools. Wise men never attempt anything. When you lose a log begin at once to practice with a wooden one. Men's motives are mercifully hidden by their shirt front. Observe moderation in all things, especially virtues. The host way to make a man honest is to make him ashamed of being found out. There may bo pride even in confessing mistakes. ��� Everybody says that gentle birth is an accident, and everybody treats if as an achievement. ���The most charming attribute of friendship is the right of candor. THE BIG BEND COUNTRY. Considerable \"Work Being Done on the Several Creeks. Revelstoke Mail, 18th: As the water has now dropped sufficiently at Carnes creek, work will soon be iu full swing there. At the Whalcn-Kirkup claini, up McCulloch creek, they are taking out gold, although the work' being done at present 'is only preparatory. Six men are employed. The Sol Ilolden mine, near Smith creek, is in full work and big pay is being taken out, although the flume is of the most primitive kind. With a long hose and a 0-inch nozzle about twenty times the amount of ground could be hydrauliced in'a day's work. ' The Fairhaven people interested in Big Bend gold claims are jubilant over their prospects on French creek. They were ditching last week, and Mr. Nestelle, who is superintending the .vork, says the dirt has averaged $3 a day per man. Great things are anticipated when bedrock i.s reached. A. N. Beaton, partner in the Vandall mine on French creek, who came down two weeks ago with $750 in nuggets, returned here this week from down the river, where he had been to purchase horses. He bought seven and will pack supplies from Revelstoke. He loaded up and started for the mine on Thursday. - \" J. W. Haskins, who is conducting operations for the Smith Creek Mining Company, is meeting with the greatest suc- cess'in the Avork of development. He has put in a 27-foot ..pump and has .\"'already, got through twelve feet of boulders and two feet of sand. Several small nuggets have been taken but, and the indications are that gold is lying thick upon the bedrock. If the'-\" pump, .proves insufficient, Mr.'Haskins will erect a wheel, water being plentiful. At- the Consolation mine they are still at work repairing the damage done by the washout last June. The dam across the creek has been completed, as well as most of the buildings on the mine, and if nothing happens to prevent it, work in the tunnel will commence about the first of September. As they were in good pay ground when the Hoods struck the mine, it is reasonable to believe that the output will equal, if it does not exceed, the amount which was being taken out then .���a bout $25 'a-day. per man. There are 'Iten'uie.n working at the mine. ���r> George,G. Marsh, who has.spent nearly, the whole of the summer on Downie creek, came down this week. He has a preemption there, and has been clearing and planting a portion of it. Downie creek iias never been prospected for gold yet, and Mr. Marsh expresses the belief that placers will be as profitable on that creek as in any other portion, of the Bend. He says lie can wash gold in paying quantities in several places from the sand along the creek, and ���intends doing some prospecting on his return. He says tho Big Bend . mines will be sending out $1000 a day inside of two months. Joe Bourgeois, who has been employed on government trails during the summer, went up on Thursday to work on the North Star mine on McCulloch creek. The owners are George Laforme, Gus Lund, and Messrs. Sullivan \"and'Sweeny. Six men will be employed. The three men who have been working on the claim up to the present time have met with gold on several occasions. Bedrock is about fifty feet deep, the bottom being very hard, which is not so easily worked as soft bedrock. Great things are expected from the North Star, and the belief is expressed by competent gold-miners that it will be one of the best paying properties in the Big Bend before tho year is out. Reports from the Hardpan mining claim, located in August, .18.., on Lookout mountain, go to show that a prodigious body of ore exists there. Tom Bain, who is iu charge of development work on the property, says for ihe amount of work done, lie has never seen such an immense showing. The vein is a strong, well-defined contact, and varies from twelve feet to twenty foot in width. A tunnel.has boon commenced to tap the vein at a depth of aboutseventy-five foot. The led^e has boon traced a distance of five claims and shows a large pay shoot on each claim. Assays made in Seattle last fall from the surface croppiiigs gave $18.81 in gold per ton. If the ore on this claim increases in value as depth is reached, or if tho surface croppiiigs are any indication of tho ore body, in all probability the Hardpan will become one of the lioted gold properties of the now famous Koolenay district. Charles Molson, one of the best practical miners in the district, came down this week and recorded four placer claims located on Gold stream. Thoy are in two groups, named Twin Falls and Alki, and are owned by a partnership. Tho claims are each 2(H) foot, and are, .Mr. .Molson says, situated in oue of the most beautiful spots nature could conceive. Picturesque falls tumble down the steep cliffs into Gold stream, which is a river 200 feet iu width. As soon as the water in the Columbia recedes sufficiently to permit of rowboats being used from Steamboat canyon to Downie creek, machinery will be taken up for the working of these claims. There will bean innovation made in llie method of conducting operations, and the community iu the Big Bond are waiting to see how .Mr. Molson will improve on the practices now in vogue. lie has every confidence that the claims on Gold st ream will prove bonanzas of the lirst watoraiid \"eye-openers\" to the whole district. The Conceited Chinese Tho North China Daily News, which is one of the ablest English newspapers in the Orient, ascribes China's lack of prepar ation for war to the boundless conceit of the leaders in the strength of the nation. The viceroy Li is about the only man in China who recognizes the weakness of the nation, and he has done what he could, in the face of great opposition, to strengthen the army and navy. Many governors of provinces actually believe that China could have whipped France had the war overTonquin been carried on. These fellows now affect to look with contempt on the Japanese, who, they say, are descended from monkeys. Meanwhile Japan is taking nearly every trick in the Corcan game, and China, despite her vastly superior resources, is placed at an enormous disadvantage. Whatever may be the outcome it cannot fail to be of service to China, as it will go far to shatter this childish self-confidence, Avhich is founded ou utter misconception of the strength and spirit of otlier nations. PERSONAL AND NEWS ITEMS. General James Longstreet, the distinguished Confederate soldier, has asked the United States senate to increase his Mexican Avar pension from twelve to fifty dollars monthly, because of his present total disability. Tom Reed of Maine, and leader of the Republicans in congress, is fond of whist, and, as he lives at a hotel, his pleasure is sometimes subject to interruptions from persistent callers. To insure absolute privacy, Mr. Rood, whenever he goes to a friend's room to indulge in his favorite diversion, now takes the precaution of slipping off his shoes and setting them in the hall beside the door. It shows that- Mr. Reed has gone to bed, and is said to Insure him absolute immunity from interruption. Lord Coleridge, the late chief justice of England, left a private income of only $75,000, but this comparatively small sum was explained by the fact that a few years ago he settled about $500,000 on his family. Nearly all English judges in recent years have died pretty well off. Lord Coleridge's predecessor, lord chief justice Gockburn, left $200,000. Lord justice Thesigers and general baron [volley's estates were proved at $100,000 and $.00,- 000,'.respectively. The late lord Hannon left anestate of about $300,000. Abas .Pasha, .the young khedivo of Egypt^always lias his mother with him, and;sTie;outranks all his advisors. She is said;,:t6\"; be one of the most beautiful women in'.'Egypt, in addition to being the brainiest^ ;j..The khediye lives the life c-f an English or American well-to-do farmer. On his large model farm he has established a model village, with school, club, and mosque, and a fire engine of modern manufacture. He rises at live o'clock and works hard, for a sovereign, all day, He is fond of riding, driving, and outdoor sports, and is an excellent shot. The emperor of China, Kuang Hsu, is 23 years old. He cannot appear in public, and when he goes abroad, it is usually in a close sedan-chair, witli guards along each side of tho road to prevent intruders from staring at his sacred person. He lives in a great palace, surrounded by a wall through wliich nobody but the court officials ever penetrates without special permission. He was kept in seclusion throughout his youth, the dowager-empresses acting as regents. He had iu his palace yard ininature models of-men-of- war, a train of cars which was an exact model of tho first railroad train over run in China, and every toy that wealth could procure, but he has never seen one of his own men-of-war, or ridden in a.real steam car. He learns as much of what goes on in his empire a.s the viceroys see fit to tell him. Ho is of frail physique and in very delicate health. Li Hung Chang is not only a viceroy, but occupies the place of premier of the empire, although he has no title beyond that of viceroy, lie is very'tall, measuring more than six feet in height, and his build is proportionately heavy. He is not aManchu, like the present emperor, but a fullblooded Chinaman, and it is said that any disturbance looking to a restoration of tho native line would bring Li Hung Chang close to the throne, despite his 71 years. He is the head of an army of thirty thousand men, who have been drilled by foreign officers. In 1800, when he was governor of the Thiaiig-Sin province, he assisted colonel Gordon in suppressing the Taeping rebellion. Later the other Thiang province was added to his rule, and lie wa.s appointed viceroy of tho united countries in ISO.\"). A year later he was made minister plenipotentiary, and in tho following year became viceroy of Ilong-Kuaiig. Ih I SOS he became a grand chancellor. In 1870. after the Tien-Tsin massacre, his titles were taken from him and he was punished in other ways, on the ground that he had not assisted the general in command. But, in 1872, lie was restored to the oflice of grand chancellor. A New Kind of Ballot. The legislative assembly of the Northwest Territories is just now considering a bill providing for the use of the ballot in elections to that body. Such legislation comes as a sequence to tho adoption of the ballot for federal elections in the territories, a provision I'or that purpose being made in the amendment to the Northwest Act passed at the late session, lint it is proposed that voting by ballot for members of the assembly shall be done in a vastly different manner from its.practice elsewhere. Each candidate is to be given a distinctive! color and pencils of corresponding colors tire fo he placed in the polling booths. Ballot papers will have no names or printing of any kind thereon. All llie voter has to do is to mark an .X on the ballot paper with the pencil of the same color as is assigned to thecandidale for whom he wishes to vote. CAN BE IMPBISONED FOB BEBT. THE COURTS ARE NOW LITTLE MORE THAN COLLECTORS FOR MEN Who Do not Know How to Do Business, as a Glance Over the Court Dockets Go to Show ���If Less Credit was Given There Would. Be Little Need of Holding Frequent Sessions of Court. The man that believes there,is no such thing as imprisonment for debt in British Columbia will form a different opinion by glancing over a court docket, or by interviewing anyone who has been served with a judgment summons. In many instances these summons are issued against men who should never have been allowed to contract debts, and iu otlier instances they are issued against poor devils who are willing to pay but cau't through being out of employment. Were the business men of the Kootenay country more careful in granting credit, they would uot only be better off, but there would bo no great necessity of holding frequent sessions of court. It is safe to say that for every dollar collected by the aid of the courts another dollar has been lost in payment of legal expenses and loss of trade result- , ing from the commencement of suits.

Dast winter a man was brought to the hospital at Xelson from one of the Nakusp 6c Slocan railway camps. He was'eared for at the hospital, with the understanding that his fellow-workman make an effort to recover the cost of his care from the railway contractors, who had /regularly deducted ii monthly hospital fee from the men, but had neglected to provide the men with medical attendance. The case came up in the county court this week with tin: usual result in all such cases, the men lost. The railway contractors proved that no hospital fee had been collected from that particular man I'or the month in which he was injured, although such fee was collected regularly before and afterwards. This may be good law. but it is simply legalizing bare-face.I robbery. Not to Have Wagon Roads. If New Deliver is to have wagon roads the people resident there will have to build them, as the government has decided that a railway is all the town needs to afford it connection with Three Forks and the mines on Carpenter creek. A road, however, is to be built from Throe Forks to lhe mouth of Cody crook, a distance of seven miles. The people of New Denver will propably in time lind that those that help themselves are helped best.

HUME'S POSITION. To tiik Eimtou ok Tu. Colonist: Whilst tho circumstance that a large deputation consisting of the bulk of Mr. Hume's supporters in the town of Nelson (whore Mr. Hume gainedhis largest vote) waited on premier Davie to assure him of Mr. Hume's support, may to some extent justify you in classing Mr. Hume with the government side, vet the fact must not. be lost sight of that Mr. Hume was elected distinctly as an oppositionist and upon a most pronounced opposition platform. Such being the ease. I fail to see the propriety of accepting Mr. I lumens a government supporter just simply because his adherents wish him to fly the track, and he presumably (tor Mr. Hume has never disavowed the action of thodoputa- tion) is willing to do so. The government with 21 in a house of33 is plenty strong enough to carry through its mea.ircs without the aid of any of the'mugwumps, to. say nothing of the probability of a scat or two more being gained by the government upon election petition. The platform*upon which Mr. Hume was elected may suit his followers, but to an advocate of good government its foremost planks are simply abhorrent, as savoring of anarchy and socialism. To use the language of the premier in the course, of the last house. '���There can be no compromise with the advocates of such princip'os: it is war to the knife between me and them.\" Those arc my sentiments precisely, and of every other \"SOLID GOVERNMENT SUPPORTER.\" Tn a former issue, The Till bush stated that the. premier,.'while at Nelson, was not waited ou by Mr. Hume's 'campaign committee, and he certainly was not waited on by the bulk of Mr. Hume's supporters. On the occasion in question Mr. Hume's supporters were celebrating a victory gained over the party of which the premier is leader, and if the premier took part in the. celebration, he was simply dancing at the funeral of liis party friends. The writer of the above letter would have it appear .that had-it not been for the support he received at Nelson, Mr. Hume would not have been elected. Mr. Hume received 203 votes outside of Nelson, while the candidate of the government received only 258 iu the district, Nelson included. , .Mr. Hume and his supporters now stand precisely where they did before the election. They cannot support the Davie go verninent unless that go vernmentshows by its actions that it favors the passage of general laws that will do away with private, and special legislation; that it will subsidize no more railways as it did the Nakusp & Slocan; that the surplus revenue shall be used for the building of new wagon roads and the betterment of old ones; that a speedy settlement be made with the Dominion government regarding the lands that are within, the railway beltalong the line of the Canadian Pacifier; that the timber of the province shall be held for the future needs of its people; that the mining industry shall not be hampered by such unwise legislation as that which took away surface rights from claim owners; that the right to use water for tiny purpose be made easy under a general law; that a land registry office be established in Kootenay; that county judges be required to hold court in Kootenay at shorter intervals; tluit laborers shall be protected from the extortions to which they now submit through the issuance of time checks; that contractors and sub-contractors on railways shall be given means by which the differences that arise between them and the raihvay companies can be speedily settled; and tluit iu the future redistribution of seats iu the legislative assembly be made on some uniform basis. Whether or not the government party will undertake to bring about legislation iu accordance with theabove ideas remains to be seen. If it does. Mr. Hume cannot consistently oppose the government; if it does not, Mr. Hume cannot consistently do otherwise than oppose it. That there is anything that approaches anarchy or socialism in the above ideas must be disputed; and if there can be no compromise between the premier and the men who advocate them, then let it be war to the ���knife. Premier Davie .has already seen tliat the men of the interior do not care two straws for him personally; and if he would have their political support, he must endeavor to carry out their views in legislation that nHoots, first, the provinee-at- large; and second, the districts in which they live. _ __ AN INCONSISTENT NEWSPAPER. the Dominion house of commons, and says that the tariff question has practically' been taken out of the list of issues, as far as Manitoba and the Northwest is concerned ; that the people, in nearly all cases, got what they asked, and they are not disposed.to keep up the.complaint,, merely to make themselves disagreeable. The reductions average about .10 per cent, and this small reduction practically takes the tariff question out of .he live issues in Canada. The Colonist calls the bill passed by congress \"The Deformed, 1.trill' Bill,\" yet the reductions made by it are greater in number-. and average a larger per cent than the reductions iuade by the house of commons. - If a reduction of 10 per cent on Canadian tariff duties meets with the approval of The Colonist, a paper that supports the protective-policy party in Canada, why should a like reduction in the United States be referred to as being made solely in the interest of trusts and 'monopolies' and the protective-policy party of that country be roundly denounced as robbers? The Colonist is notoriously inconsistent when it attempts to discuss questions that concern the United States. TRUTH WITH A BIG T. V ���There is'one little matter, however, to which we find it necessary to draw our contemporary's attention. It is a matter without which no honest men travel, it has been pointed out as the highest of virtues, but it is apparently unknown to our opposition.paper. This quality is Truth. When dealing with our affairs we must ask them to keep within the lilies of Truth, or there may be trouble. Amongst other mat tors we have been accused of maligning the character of Mr. Hume. We challenge our opponent to produce a single instance of having done so. What wo have said about Mr. Hume may be summed up as follows! We believe him to be an excellent, honest, upright citizen, absolutely ignorant of politics and entirely in the hands of perfectly unscrupulous persons who hope to use him as a tool to bring about their own ends. Of Mr.'Hume's character wc have the highest opinion and we hope it will serve him to clear himself of the society in which he finds himself. Not one word against his character have we ever written. Jn its issue of the Ittth instant, the Victoria Colonist (piotes with approval an editorial on tariff reform from the Winnipeg Norwesler, a paper that advocates tin; return of the Liberal party to power in Canada, and in another editorial it denounces the tariff bill passed by the congress of the I'liited Stales hist week. The Norwcster approves of (lie changes jnade in the tariff at the last session of The above is au extract from an editorial in last week's Miner, a paper that is ridiculed in every .mining camp in Kootenay, however much it may be considered an authority on mining matters by mining men in London and looked on as a literary gem by the inmates of Mttley Hassan's harem at Fez- in Morocco. It is ridiculed by the people of the mining camps in Kootenay.because.it is priggish. It is despised by the people''of'Nelson because of its repeated attempts to belittle Mr. Hume, member-elect to the legislative assembly for South Kootenay. The Trirune has at times commented on these attempts, but in doing so never accused The Miner of maligning the character of Mr. Hume. But, then, the man who would append his name to a letter that does a fellow-countryman a grave injustice is not likely to be above lying about his contemporaries. If Mr. Hume's character could be smirched, The Miner would only be too willing to do the smirching. Notwithstanding it believes him to be au excellent, honest, upright citizen, it did not hesitate 'to print the following words at divers times since Mr. Hume lirst announced himself as a candidate for oflice: January 20th.���\"The Bogus Convention.\"���At a pre-, liininary meeting of electors friendly to the government, over which Gilbert Malcolm Sproat presided, the Houston-Hume mock primaries and mock convention were denounced as an attempted fraud upon the electorate, etc. April 28th.���\"Save Me From My Friends.\"���Mr. Hume has thought lit to content himself with being a mere figure-head. \" * What we want is to find something auout Mr. Hume himself. Of course wc have long known him as an estimable citizen, but unfortunately estimable citizens are not all fit to take upon themselves the task of governing or helping to govern their fellows. Etc. April 21st.���It has been an open secret for some time that the Houstoniaii clique did the campaign thinking for J. Fred Hume. Etc. May 12.���\"People's Right.\"���And who will say now that that candidate [J. Fred Hume] is not entirely the tool of one other maul Etc. Juno 23rd.���\"Fair Play and Foul.\"���We prefer to turn a deaf ear to the rumors that have been floating about to Mr. Hume's discredit. * * The methods used, however, prove that he is simply the tool of men who cannot light fairly. Etc. June :��lth.���\"Give a Poor Dog a Bone.\"���The men of Kootenay are not fools. * v If Mr. Hume cannot tell them a little more about his opinions and theories, they will remain at home and not vote at all. Etc. July Kith.���\"Opposition Procession.\"���G. A. Bigelow and clog with monkey astride, John Houston with short string���opposition candidate [J. Fred Hume] on end of string. Etc. July llth.���Mr. Hume has been trying for a year or so to sell his business and go back to his home in Nova Scotia. W'c do not want men to represent us in parliament who do not care'a jot for the country, etc. July 21st.���\"The Elections.\"���It was only because they knew he could do the Davie government no harm that llie boys have sent Fred Hume to play at being a member of parliament for four years. Etc. July 28th.���\"Ignorance.\"��� Mr. Hume has promised to put the Land Act in shape. Wc would like to see the result if he was shut up iu a room with a copy of the Acl, a bundle of paper, scissors aud paste, aud a pen and ink, and told lo work his wicked will on it. It would be inlcrc. .ing to watch as an experiment, but heaven help llie country that had to abide by his tinkering. Etc. These certainly are attempts at belittle- ing Mr. Hume, and the oft-repeated statement that Mr. Hume i.s nothing but a tool of unscrupulous men is an aspersion that tarnishes that gentleman's character; an aspersion that cannot be justified, and one that could only be made by a man malignant by nature aud a liar by practice. ______ Bhitlsh Columbia i.s the only province in the Dominion that is without trained men in charge of its government. The premier is a lawyer without any special training in governmental affairs or in the conduct of large business enterprises; the chief commissioner of lauds and works is an ex-ranchman with neither the ability nor the inclination to attend to the duties of his oflice; the provincial secretary i.s a visionary; the minister of finance is a nice old gentleman. The premier is credited with ability, but the province does not get the benefit of it, for lie devotes more time to his private practice than to his official duties. The premier should be paid tt salary large enough to allow of his devoting his entire time to the duties of his office. He should be allowed to employ at least one trained assistant, a man .capable of framing laws that would be so plainly worded as to be understood by the bar and the courts.. Neither the attorneys-general nor his assistant should be allowed to appear in court for private parties/Great corporations and firms find it necessary for the proper conduct of their business to employ specially trained men as heads of departments, and the same rule might work well if it was tried by the provincial government. David Alexander Stoddakt has filed a petition contesting the election of James Douglas Prentice for the east riding of Lillooet district. The grounds of the contest are: 1, Certain persons voted for Prentice who were not qualified by law to vote; 2. Certain persons who voted .were and are disqualified, by reason of having been bribed, treated, and unduly influenced by agents of Prentice, or by by reason of having been retained or employed for reward on behalf of Prentice; 3. That the returning officer received certain ballot papers as votes for the said Prentice which were not marked according to law. The petitioner prays for a scrutiny of the votes given ancl tendered at the said election, and that the return be amended by substituting his name in the place of Prentice as. member for Lillooet. Mr. Stoddart is represented by Gordon Hunter, law partner of premier Davie, aud Mr. Prentice by Mr. McPhillips. Evidently, Mr. Davie is not satisfied with his majority in the assembly. He wants one more. It wilt, be remembered that premier Davie did not hesitate to proclaim to the world that Victoria was sorely afflicted with small pox in 1892, and took vigorous measures to rid the city of the fell disease. Although heralding that fact to the world had a bad effect on the trade of Victoria for a time, yet in the end it worked to the city's advantage. The Victoria Times of late has proclaimed that the province is in a bad plight financially, and calls on the government for a clear balance sheet. For doing this, it is roundly denounced by premier Davie and his newspaper organs. Yet Victoria was not in greater danger from the-small-pox plague than the province is from bankruptcy through the reckless extravagance of agovernment that is without a trained man at its head. The Miner has often made the statement that -Mr. Hume \"is entirely in the \" hands of perfectly unscrupulous persons \" who hope to use him as a tool to bring \"about their own ends,\" and that he should at once clear himself of the society in which he finds himself. Will The Miner name these perfectly unscrupulous persons and let the cat out of the bag as to some of their schemes? We hardly think it will do either. The Miner would have it appear that South Kootenay is overrun with unscrupulous persons���for was not Mr. Hume supported by nearly two-thirds of the electors of the riding��� who do little else than put up jobs on the provincial government. Once again we are compelled to assert that The Miner is an ass. __ No good reason can be given for the removal of Mr. Kirkup from Revelstoke to Port Simpson. If Mr. Kirkup has been an efficient official, his services are required at Revelstoke, where he is identified with the country. If he has been inefficient he should not be given an appointment anywhere in the province, but should be retired to private life. J. M. Kellie, member-elect for the north riding of West Kootenay, denies that he is about to resign his seat in order to take the appointment of gold commissioner of the Revelstoke division. Thus, one by one do the chances of Mr. Vernon's return to oflice fade away. What is Mr. Vernon's loss is the country's gain. . Jt is said that Mr. Vernon takes his defeat much to heart. In that case, he had better not think of getting back to office through North Kootenay, for he would surely be defeated, and a second defeat might break his heart. Th _ government organ at Nelson is much exercised over the leadership of the opposi- tion in the next house. There is one thing the organ will not be exercised over, that is, the leadership of the government party in South Kootenay. That party has dwindled down to the small end of nothing, The Miner and its editor. A Curious Matrimonial Advertisement. A middle-aged gentleman, barely turned sixty and as yet unmarried, is desirous of altering his condition. He has a good estate, sound constitution, an easy temper, and, having worn out the follies of youth, will be determined by reason in the choice of the lady he intends to make happy. She must be upward of fifteen find under twenty-five. Her size must be moderate, her shape natural, her person clean, anil her countenance pleasing. She must be lively in her humor, but not smart in her conversation; sensible, but utterly unaffected with wit; her temper without extremes, neither too hasty, and never sullen. Then she must invariably observeall fortnsof good breedingin public places and mixed conipany, but may lay 'them all aside among her acquaintances. She must havei no affectation but that of hiding her.perfection, wliich her own sex will forgive and the other more quickly discover. She shall be restrained in nothing���the gentleman having observed that restraint only makes good women bad, and bad women worse. In some things, perhaps, she-may be stinted, which is the only method he will take /to signify his dislike to any of her conduct. Any lady whose friends are of opinion (her own opinion will not do) that.she is qualified as above, aud has a mind to dispose of herself,may hear of a purchaser by leaving with the printer hereof a letter directed to C. D. Opium Factories Closed. Victoria Colonist, 15th: '\"The .passage' yesterday of the now aniended American tariff bill had its immediate effect in this city of closing down all the large opium factories which for years have done business here, employing between fifty and sixty men and contributing in the neighborhood of $200,000 annually to the revenue. The proposition in the United States congress to lower the duty on opium to $0 per pound had put all the firms on their guard, and the closing of the factories was not altogether unanticipated. Opium smuggling from this city to the republic over the straits is now at an end, and Chinese exportation is also practically extinct as a branch of business in which a few months ago -many a dollar was to be nimbly turned. The-raw opium carried in stock by the Victoria factories is said to have all been held in bond awaiting the turn of affairs at Washington.-' It will now be sent back to Hongkong, and the factories of this city will become things of the past, only to remain as memories of what were once features of a very profitable industry, as well as 'sights' which no curious visitor to British Columbia's capital could afford to miss.\" W.

Tait, a Scotsman, started \"with a party-of natives to hunt up the pythons. He never returned, and was supposed to have been killed by some wild animal. He must have been a giant, as I have -seen on. oil his guns, weighing thirty pounds, and carrying two-ounce balls. About a year ago a captain in the English army named Coles landed here, accompanied by a party of Sikh soldiers. He was soon joined by lieutenant Ayres of the British navy, and it was announced that they were after the big snakes. Captain Coles was a remarkable shot, and at 400 yards would knock over a parrot every time. Their course was up the Do wan, .a. stream running clear for (ifty miles and then spreading over a swamp for one hundred miles, almost to the south coast, and alive witli ���\"man-eating crocodiles. They hail with them several donkeys, and one night,'eiicaniped on the river bank, one of these animals gave a tremendous squeal, and the Englishmen, looking out, saw a huge gray mass sliding over the ground aiid .gave the alarm. Two crocodile had come ashore and seized a'donkey. Both were shot; they were h ideoiis reptiles, thirty feet long, with jaws capable of cutting 'a man in two. Next, morning they .went to work ancl killed thirteen, one tliirtv-six feet long. In a few days they reached the heart of this submerged region. Snakes thirty-live feet, long were shot, but the giants kept out of sight. On laud the brush was very thick, anil wild hogs and deer make well- defined paths from one watercourse to the other, and along these the pythons watch for game. One morning a native hunter came iu and reported a big snake near. Two hundred yards away the Englishmen saw swinging between the trees a serpent almost as big in the middle as a barrel. Its-backbone was broken by a shot, and after inuch trouble it was taken in and skinned. It was forty-one feet long. Such a snake would crush a man in five seconds. They had now reached the end.of their journey; the river ended in a mass of vegetation so dense as to make further progress impossible, so a camp was made ou the river bank and next day the guides ��� brought in the head and a few feet of the trunk of a'serpent that had evidently been eaten by crocodiles. The head was nearly three feet long and indicated an enormou. length. It weighed sixty pounds aud was a hideous'object. It had no doubt been 'caught in the water and bitten to death. ��� '. Early one morning an alarm wa.s given by one of the Sikh soldiers, He pointed to something glistening in the water half a mile away. Through the glass it was seen to by a snake swimming. The raft was at once manned by the two Englishmen and their gun bearers. Seen above the water the reptile's head was as large as a barrel and shone like bright copper. It was evidently making for a Hat, sandy place near shore, ami the hunters waited. Part of the body was now exposed, and the men were amazed. It was at least three feet thick, and as the long coils glided over the sand it seemed to get bigger. \"Now, men, break its back.\" Four shots were fired and three went through the body of the snake. A hiss like a steam escape and the head arose twenty feet in the air, while the tail beat the water like a Hail. Suddenly it turned, and the'next moment it tremendous blow smashed the raft. All got into the water and made for the shore but one Sikh, lie stopped to secure his ride, and again the tail descended and he wa.s struck fairly, his back and ribs beingsinashed into fragments. He never made a sound. Another shot back of the head and the monster dropped. It took six hours to get the body on land, and its length was ninety- four-feet. The skin was treated with palm ashes by the natives, tin excellent preservative. There is no record of such a snake ever being killed before. Fever now attacked the party, and it took them three weeks to get home. They had been out three months. Beer is no Cheaper. Sir William llarcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, in presenting this year's budget to parliament, called attention to a fact ���which is perhaps of more interest in the United States than in England. It is this: That while in the last ten years there has been a falling off of from .'30 to 10 nor ccni. in the cost of the ingredients used in beer making, there has been no corresponding decrease iu the retail price of beer. Eng lish brewers get'hops-and barley cheaper than they used to. Recent appliances for refrigerating have largely reduced the cost of that element of ale and beer making. Cooperage expenses are less than they were, and there has been, in fact* a cheapening of all the .processes;, but'the price of beer is as before. Sir William Hat'court also called attention to the fact that while, in 1881, the collective revenue of British brewers, subject to the income tax, had increased one-half, representing, in part,, the increased profits- of the brewers. What is true of England is true also of the United States. All articles entering into the composition of American beer have come clown in ''price, but beer' itself continues at the same rate as before, and the diminution of cost instead of benefitting the consumer goes exclusively to the ���brewer o'r the retailer, but.ofteuer is divided between the two. The number of ' barrels of beer drunk in the eity of New York in a year is .,000,000. Chicago comes next with 2,800,000. Then Milwaukee with 2,500,000 (an abnormal total for a city not iii the lirst rank); St. Loins, with 2,000,000; Brooklyn, with l.,SOO,000;. Philadelphia, with 1,800,000, and Cincinnati, once the paradise of beer drinkers, with only 1;.00,- 000. against 1,200,000 in Newark. TJie population of Cincinnati i.s 330,000, while that of Newark is little more than 200.000. Beer is now the almost' universal j American drink, and of late it has found a. great popularity iii the south, New Orleans consuming 300,000 barrels last year and Louisville 300,000. ____L_____ ':.. Coking- Coal. The production'of. coke from.dry-coals, and lignites is now accomplished by means of a process\" which, according to the description, is both simple and effective. It is demonstrated that during the ordinary process of coking coal which produces a hard, strong, and cellular coke, the coal becomes semi-fused and soft, or eakes, in the early stages of the operation when gases are being evolved freely, it being this evolution of gas,in the soft mass that gives the proper cellular structure to the coke; on the other hand, when a dry coal or lignite is heated, as in the ordinary method of coking, there is no softening of the mass of coal during the evolution of tiie gases, and no true coke is formed. The inventor of this new method holds that-the\" failure in making coke from non- coking coals -hitherto is attributable to the premature evolution of gases during .the heating, there being consequently no '���opportunity for the coal to cake; he claims to have also discovered that by retarding the evolution of gas when the coal is first heated changes take place in tiie constitution of the coal wliich allow it to cake, and a,good quality of coke can be produced from a coal which would, otherwise; yield no coke. The new plan 'effects' changes-in-non-coking coals, by heating them at a low temperature under pressure, thus giving them the property of coking, and then coking them by the ordinary process. WHICH IS THE MORE SCIENTIFIC? Hoisted by Her Own Petard. When the Yale athletes were in New York, prior to their departure for England to contest with the athletes of Oxford, a well-known.Brooklyn society woman gave them a dinner. It is, part.of the.creed of these young men never to express surprise at any joke at their expense. This their hostess knew. She was determined to compel a \"departure from this law and conceived her plan with that object in view. The women of the party had been notified, and were bound over to silence until some comment should be made by the broad-clothed guests. At an exquisitely appointed table the party sat clown. Tiie butlers first served coffee,.liqueurs, ancl candies. Next came ice's. /Then salads. Talk flowed on brilliantly and easily. Evidently there wjis ho stupidity on tiie partof the servants in serving thus contrary to established etiquette, for the hostess remained unconcerned. So clid- the Yale men. The reversed dinner went through its courses without hitch or jar, until after the soup and just before the clams were served.' Then the Yale men asked to be, excused. Their hostess acquiesce! with a broad touch of wonder on her face.' In ten minutes' the team . filed back into the dining-room, each with his \"swallow-tail\" on \"hind part before.\" They had done honor to the reversed dinner. The surface of unconcern was broken down. The hostess was hoisted by own petard, but the table rang with applause. Cleveland in Effigy. Residents of Carson, Nevada, who evidently have little respect for the occupant of the presidential chair, stuffed an effigy ancl suspended it from a tree in the capitol grounds. It bore the following legends on various 'portions of tho.figure: \"The king is dead! Long live the king! God save the queen!\" \"Buzzard's Bay.\" , - A minittire dagger, with blood trickling clown the blade, was sticking in the region of the heart. On the dagger was the inscription: \"Carnot's End,\" and ou the other side was \"Cleveland's Deserts.\" Pinned to tho figure wa.s a representation of a crown with' the words \"No Crown of Thorns for the King.\" On the rear of the effigy was the inscription: \"Drunk Again.\" . \"Coat made in England, deah boy, clou t yer know!\" . On tliat part of the anatomy that occupies the chair were these words: \"Seat of Learning.\" The Fight Will not be Fought. Peter Jackson and Jim Corbettcnine together in Sew York the other day, and now it is settled that Jackson will not fight south of Mason and Dixon's line, and Corbett will not fight in England. So that these two pugilists are not likely to settle wliich i.s the better man in the only way that it can be settled satisfactorily to the public. Jackson has gone to England, and Corbett will resume liis theatrical career, which seems to suit him. Fine Points of Base Ball and Cricket Set. Forth .\"..<���'.. for Comparison. Americans and Canadians who play the great game of baseball will naturally say that their pet sport is more scientific than cricket, and they can give come excellent arguments, too. The old; practice of throwing rainbow outeurses and sharp inshoots has been greatly improved upon by the addition of several new wrinkles. Of course 'the \"drop ball\" is a most puzzling thing, but when a pitcher uses a swift high \"jum])\":.ball delivered overhand -with.-great'\" speed-so as to cut the plate, one may readily see that base ball pitching is considerably more than a trick. To throw a ball that looks like a straight, one, but which shoots upward just before it reaches the bat is certainly a science, ancl requires more skill than isat thecom- immd of a cricket bowler. A good pitcher i.s not without a .scientific \"change of pace.\" This means the delivering of balls with various kinds of speed. There's a fast delivery with a' slow ball, a slow delivery with a fast ball, and a combination of curves with each.- Then there's the placing of balIs for certain batsmen, requiring a knowledge of the weak points of every hitter in the National League. ��� Men who can kill high balls-must necessarily be prevented from doing so by the pitching of low balls, or vice versa. A quick inshoot close to the neck is another scientific bit of work, which nearly all clever pitchers are masters of. In addition to all these points is \"control \"which means that a ball can be placed so that it is Inlrdito hit, whether the batsman stands away from or near the plate. ; Tiie system of signals used by batteries is also something far beyond cricketers in point of scientific'.play. This includes \"tips,\" when to throw to any of the bases, how to \"work\" batsmen, and where to pitch a ball so that the catcher can make a good throw to a base that may be occupied. Outside of battery work there is science in batting, fielding, and base running that also outclasses anything of the kind known to cricketers. The clays when batsmen, struck wildly at any;; and every ball that came near the plate have gone by. The Bostons, who are in the lead for the championship of the National League in the United States, have inaugurated a new. system- called \"team work .at the ; bat,\" which is very scientific and is being extensively, copied by all the big teams. The'scheme-is to hit the ball while men on bases are running; also to push it through the infield after fielders have been drawn away from their usual places by clever bluff's by the base runners. The batsmen 'of the present day, that is the scientific ones, can come near hitting pitched balls in any direction. This is accomplished by stand ing'\" in\" certain positions in' the bktter's box and m.eeting the ball, the bat being,grasped well up near the middle.' Bunting is also a science, as is sacrificing. There is more science in base running than one would suppose, while there is nothing like this branch of the game in cricket. ..The start and the slide are the two principal features, and, unless a man is proficient in both, he is not a successful stealer. With men on first and third base's, there'are greater opportunities of scientific plays' than were known to base ball men five years ago.v \". \"Fielding-is not haphazard. There is a degree of brain work attached to it that would surprise the uninitiated. Outfielders have so studied the opposing batsmen that they know where to lie for them, while infielders have various positions to .cover.with certain men at bat. There is science in the knowledge of what to do with the ball when men are on bases, and how to field it to certain points. In other words, base ball bristles with science, is faster than cricket, and has many points to be developed even yet. - CRieivKT'S I .-X_ POINTS. The votaries of all outdoor pastimes never hesitate to lay claim to their own particular sport being the most scientific, and whether it be cricket or base ball, lacrosse or tennis, each has its own supporters', who bring forward arguments which, in their own opinion, prove conclusively the.correctness of their assertions. Between base ball and cricket the difference, from a cricketer's standpoint, is exceedingly great, and the very comparison seems absurd. In fact, when the question was put a short time ago to a prominent cricketer of today, who formerly shone as a leading light on the diamond, he replied: \"From a scientific point of view, base ball is to cricket what bagatelle is to billiards.\" The practice a batsman obtains tit cricket teaches him the exact timing and placing of every ball, and every biill bowled should be treated in a manner in accordance with its pitch, curve, and break,' and the numerous ways in which it can be hit, every one of which is at the desire of the batsman, ������compare very favorably with the \"blind sweep\" of the base ball man, or the \"bunt,\" which might be compared with the block in cricket. The cricketer not alone hits in front of him, but Jill around, getting the ball away behind his legs or to the off with a back cut, cutting horizontally the long hop or pulling round the short pitched ball on the leg or on side, lie can drive to the on off, playback to the \"shooter,\" or reach forward'and \"smother\" the \"break\" or \"twister.\" Of course, the greatest difference in cricket and base ball in reducing them to practice is in batting, but nine out of ten base ball men will claini that pitching has been brought to a greater state of perfection than bowling. The contrary, however, i.s the case. In pitching, we have the in-curve find the out-curve, the drop, and one or two other vagaries to deceive the batter; but the ball comes through tiie air, and its course is much easier to follow than if it.struck the ground before reaching the home plate. That is what happens in cricket, and we have added to the curves the break and spin of the ball, which alters its direction immediately it strikes the ground. Some bowlers .succeed in curling the ball in the air in oue direction, which is changed the moment it pitches. The \"deadly shooter\" never rises after striking the ground, while The Mines of the Great .Slocan District are all within , a few . miles of New Denver, the celebrated Mountain Chief being less than two miles distant. The townsite is acknowledged to be the prettiest in the whole . Kootenay Country. Investors and Speculators should examine the property offered.

Terms cash. Title warranted. again the ball may get up from the pitch so rapidly that the batsman is sometimes caught before he is ready to properly play it, arid a catch in the slips is the result.^ Even in cricket fielding science plays its' part, for as each ball, properly hit, follows the course laid clown for it, the bowler can send in a ball and place his fielder where he knows it will be hit, and often a catch is the result. When the ball is on the leg side all the fielders there are ready for it, and a quick man will often anticipate its direction ancl be in a position to cover it's flight before it is hit. The little practice the cricketer obtains in this country prevents us from seeing the best exhibitions of the game, and the skill displayed by the country teams of England, in which the accuracy of the professional bowling is seen, is unknown here. What Money Can't Buy. (Jeorge Gould's attempt to tack into the land-locked pool of English society is pathetic, says the Sew York Commercial-Advertiser. Even if he trails the Vigilant astern of the prince of Wales' cutter in every race; even if he \"lends\" that adroit Gorman a half million dollars, as baron Hirsch did, he will be no nearer the goal. It was undoubtedly W. YV. Astor's fierce .attempt fo break into the charmed circle that led Mr. Gould to perpetrate a similar bit of snobbishness. Astor bought a newspaper, the Pall Mall Gazette, turned it iuto ft howling Tory sheet of anti-American tendencies, hired a lord and a lick-spittle to edit it for him ; then lie waited. As far as society is concerned he i.s still waiting. His newspaper costs him $20(>,(><)0a year. If would have been just as cheap to have started a racing stable, and much more advantageous. When Mr. Astor toryi/.ed the Pall Mall Gazette it had a circulation of 2000. Editor Gust has pushed the circulation up to about 20,000, but the paper is not a favorite. With all its sneers of Vaiikeeland the Britisher does not love it. Mr. Astor is not in society any more than Mrs. Nobody is orany of the names Llie London correspondents cable; over. There is an outer circle into which any man with a decent coat aud tact and any woman with handsome shoulders and plenty of money can enter. Iu the inner circle'the great Tory families and the old Whig lords dwell apart. They would as soon think of admitting Mr. Astor as his butler. A.s for George Gould what the mischief would lie do in this gallery? Vet Mr. Astor and Mr. Gould are both head and shoulders, inability and moral worth, above a large majority of the great Tory and Whig lords and lordlings.

International Commission Company. FEMININE LITIGANTS. A Lawyer That Would Rather be Dead Than Have a Woman for a Client. San Francisco Argonaut, 20th: Judge Coffey is the probate judge of San Francisco, or rather he presides over that division of the superior court which exercises probate jurisdiction, Judge Coffey has, therefore, had much experience with feminine litigants, Many widows have wept over their abstract husbands and their abstract husband's concrete pelf in judge Coffey's court. Many daughters have figured there, in legal contention over the shekels of dead and gone fathers. Squads of contending widows, when the deceased gentleman wa.s of polygamic tastes, have waved their marriage lines before judge Coffey. Troops of job-lot children, when some wealthy and defunct bachelor had philaprogonitive instincts, have marched iu procession before judge Coffey like little Japhets iu search of a papa. From this it follows that judge; Coffey's knowledge of woman before the law, like Sain YVeller's knowledge of London, is extensive and peculiar. Wc fear that it has ���slightly jaundiced the judge's views. In a recent interview, he is reported as saying that lie would rather be dead than have a woman for a, client. If the word \"client\" were stricken out of the judge's dictum, and the word \"wife\"substituted, there might be some possible palliation for his remark. But isitthereas itstauds? The judge admits that many women are good, and unselfish, ancl intelligent, aud he knows that many men regard women as angels, but he insists that in courts of law women are \"unreliable,. suspicious, unreasonable, ancl ungrateful.\" And what is worse, he gives reasons for the faith that is in him. Are women unreliable? The judge says that \"if they think a thing ought to be true, they will declare it to be true so oftentha't they will end by believing it.\" No one who has seen a woman in the witness box will deny that there is some ground for the charge. When a-woman is summoned into court, she generally has made up her mind how the case should go, and all her evidence will be shaped, to conduce to that end. In ordinary life, she may be truthful and honest; but as a witness, she will, as a rule, suppress facts and distort her statements:so as to give them a color to suit her hopes. That women are suspicious is merely another way of saying that they are women. They have been under subjection for generations, and all subject races are.prone to suspicion, says judge Coffey. Even in our day, when a woman is as good as a man, and si little better, too, men are constantly setting traps, to ensnare confiding maidens and buxom matrons, and it behooves them to see that there is not a snap-catch to the bouquet of flowers or the box of bonbons. Bred in such habits they carry their suspicious nature into court. They suspect everyone, from the judge on the bench to their own counsel. They see a trap in the simplest question. Tliey detect trickery in the plainest form >f pleading. They do not understand the motive of this quesfcion'or that objection, and they -fancy there is something concealed which bodes them no good. When a lawyer has spent a day in court pleading a case for a female client, he has to devote an hour or two in his office,to explaining why he did this and did not do that. A male client would trust that he had done what was right and proper. It is almost impossible to make a woman see that cases in court must be conducted according to the rules of law. For good and substantial reasons, the law of evidence forbids a lawyer from putting certain questions to a witness; when these questions would have elicited' answers favorable to the woman's side, she cannot be made to understand why they were not put. She suspects the judge of being prejudiced against her, and suspects her own counsel of weakness in not sitting down on the judge. She does not see why the code and the statutes should stand in the way of her getting justice. She is capable of believing that they were framed especially for the purpose of wronging her sex. But it is in dealing with her own lawyer that the daughter of Eve comes out in her most vivid colors. When a, woman has a lawsuit, she, as a rule, mentally selects a lawyer to conduct her case. If, on applying to him, she finds, as she often does, tluit he is not hankering after female clients, ancl he observes that he is so overwhelmed with work that he is taking no new cases, she becomes more convinced than ever that lie is the only lawyer to whom she can confide her interests, ancl she. half suspects that his reluctance to act for her is part of a conspiracy against her rights. She insists, implores, beseeches, entreats, with tears and sobs, aud, in the end. the lawyer yields and takes the case. From that hour his peace of mind is at an end. She is at his office daily and hourly. She insists on confiding to him matters which have no bearing on the case. She puts hypothetical questions tO'hiin which drive linn out of ids wits. She overwhelms him with suggestions and objections to the course he proposes to pursue. She interferes with him in court, and almost takes the case out of his hands. At hist the case is tried, and is either won or lost. If it is won, she believes it is won on its intrinsic, merits, in spite of his blundering. If it is lost, it is lost through his mismanagement. Whichever happens, she is in no mind to pay him his fee. It is only by threatening her with legal proceedings that lie can collect his costs and honorarium. This is judge Coffey's view of women in a court of law; it i.s a view which lawyers iu general practice will indorse. It is needless to state, after laying these heterodox views before the world, that judge Coffey is unmarried. If that able jurist should ever take unto himself a wife, the legal opinion of which we have just given a syllabus will be reviewed, and we greatly fear that the result will read: \"Judgment reversed and cause remanded. Mrs. Coffey, C. J.\" Decline In Good Manners. An interesting discussion lias been started in a popular English weekly about the decline in good manners among Englishmen. It appears to be pretty well established that cads are increasing at an awful rate, ancl that something has brought out within a few years the inherent brutality of the Englishman. He is losing the courtly manners of his fathers. As a rule he stares women out of countenance,, lets them stand while he ogles them through his monocle. In the tennis-field he is inclined to slap a girl on the back and call her a good fellow, because she does not object to his blowing his cigarette smoke in her face. Wives are not waited on as they once were; they are left to defend themselves, and daughters look in vain, for the proud solicitude of the father, which was to them a kind of Providence. We are told that the general air of any society gathering has an element of roughness and brutality in it from the queen's drawing room downward. In truth, the presentation affairs at the palace are, from, all accounts, far ahead of every other affair in selfish crush, and jostling envy, and irredeemable caddishness. One American lady has told how, while waiting for hours in the pen, among full-dressed dowagers, she felt someone behind her lift her train and examine it, and then remark audibly: \"Well, it is real lace, but I wouldn't have believed it.\" In how far woman herself is responsible for the change in man's treatment of her is a vexed question. But it appears from some of the women obr servers in England that her defiant re; fusal to be treated as the weaker sex' has had its influence in bringing about this new order. - The Denticure. \"'��� ��� ' Someone in England has thought of another occupation for women, that is, \"denticure,\" one who takes care, of women's teeth, giving them the skillful cleansing with dental instruments which is usually done by the dentist, ancl which must occasionally supplement the personal attention received daily from the owner's own brush, dentifrice, and floss. In fact, this new employment provides for the teeth the careful ministrations now furnished for the hands by an army of manicures; and as it requires special study, much intelligence and skill and a good deal of personal refinement, it offers an opportunity to those of more ability than that possessed by the average manicure. Getting Even With a Lawyer. Law Notes for July lias the following excellent story: In a town in the north of England a tailor was dissatisfied with his solicitor's bill.
