The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

THE YANKEE AGAIN ON TOP. BRITISH CUTTERS NOT EQUAL TO AMERICAN CENTERBOARDERS. Although Sailed With Great Skill, the Valkyrie Loses tho First and Second Races to tho Vigilant The Third Trial on Wednesday no Race, Hocause of Light Wind. The contest I'or tho America's Cup is of as great interest out hero in British Columbia us it is in Now York, and British Columbians only regret that the Valkyrie is not ji. centerb'oarder, for it is evident that type of vessel is superior to the type of which the Valkyrie is one of the best. TI4HMS OF TIIK GUI' IIAUNS. The nititch shall bo decided by the winning of three out of five races, starting from the .Sandy Hook lightship, oyer courses as near as possible thirty nautical miles iu length. First, to windward or leeward and return; second, equilateral triangle, one side���the first if possible���to windward; third, .similar to first; fourth, similar to second; fifth, similar to first. Any race in which the elapsed time of the yacht finishing first exceeds six hours shall not count and must be resailed. TIIK KIUST HACK. I tick of wind made the first of the international yacht races on Thursday, the uth instant, a failure, as it was impossible to linish inside of six hours, the limit set by the cup committee. It was more of a drifting match than a race. The wind at no time readied the dignity of a sailing breeze. The race was started with the wind from the north. It ended with the wind from tho south. The thousands of enthusiastic yachtsmen saw the Valkyrie at one time, nearly two miles in the lead, and some of them were glad that the wind failed to carry the boat over the course in the six hours, as. had it freshened toward the last, the Kngiish cutter would, in all probabilities, have won the race. More fair-minded yachtsmen recognized tlie superior way in which .John Bull's sailors outgeneraled Uncle Sam's tars and regretted that the Kngiish boat avou only an empty victory. On Saturday the contest was a magnificent one, from a naval point of view, and demonstrated the superiority of the center board over the cutter as well ���as the superior seamanship of the crow of the English yacht. ,.:; The preparatory gun wtis fired sharply ���at 11:15 a. in., and when the starting gun was touched oft there was. only.a question of about ISO feet between tho two yachts, the Valkyrie having the lead. The wind -vvas blowing tit the rate-of about seven miles au hour and the cutter kept ou increasing the lead. At the end of the lirst mile she was a good two lengths ahead. The .Valkyrie-increased the lead tit least one more length during the first two miles. From that -point up to the distance of four and a half miles the Vigilant held her own. Then a change'came. Suddenly the Vigilant caught the slant of the wind, although the Valkyrie was not touched by it, and within fifteen minutes'she was fully a quarter-of-a nii.e in .the'lead. ' in another quarter of an ���'hour the American boat not only held the lead, but increased it to a full mile before she had sailed live miles. The Valkyrie remained at her mile distance and could not gain an inch. The Vigilant made the turn of the outer mark amid the greatest enthusiasm.' The wind wtis now about west antl it became a question of long reach. It wtis on a reach that the cutter was supposed to be at her best. During the reach, however, with all things equal, the Vigilant actually gained on thecutter. There was another shift in the wind and the boats were both compelled to sail closely to the wind, when the Valkyrie certainly appeared to gain ground. The distance the Valkyrie overhauled the Vigilant was considerable, but all the time'she wtis sagging off to the leeward while the center-board was holding her head at the wind. Tho Valkyrie caught a slight wind and picked up probably a quarter of a mile. Up to the end of the course there was no incident. Tho Vigilant 'crossed the line on the same tack, while the Valkyrie, having sagged away to leeward, had to go about before she could cross. At the home line the flotilla of excursionists formed a crescent. Thousands of spectators braved an immersion and clambered to every point of advantage. They showed joy in their laces as the Vigilant crept stotidily nearer the swinging lightship. Their joy burst its bonds a.s the brave little Vigilant dipped gracefully through the waves, and long before the screaming of whistles told that the royal battle had 'ended, 100,000 tongues proclaimed in true American accord that the queen of centerboarders find cutters is here, and has still speed and strength to bear the name of cup defender in reality. The regetta committee of the New York Yacht Club has given the following table of figures: Start���Actual time of the Vigilant 11:2"5:'K), Valkyrie 11:25:25. Turning to outer mark���Vigilant l:5():5(), Valkyrie 1:48:50. Finish ���Vigilant 3:30:-! 7, Valkyrie 3:38:23. Klapsed time- Vigilant 4:05:20, Valkyrie -1:13:23. Corrected time ���Vigilant 1:05:27, Valkyrie 1:11:35. Thus the Vigilant won by 5 minutes and 48 seconds on official and corrected time. It will be seen that the Valkyrie gained on the home stretch, as she was 8 minutes and 0 seconds behind when the outer mark was turned and 7 -minutes and 3(5 seconds at the linish in actual time. THIO KI-t'ONI> hack. ' On Monday the wind was blowing tvventw-live miles an hour when both boats went over the line within two sec onds of each other. The Vigilant led by the length of her boysprit. They made a pretty start as they started on the beat to windward of ton miles to the first mark. As on Saturday, the Valkyrie forged ahead at tho start. She was not running quite as close to the wind tis the white sloop, but she was going faster, hi ten minutes the Valkyrie led by four lengths, but the Vigilant wtis a trifle to windward. The Valkyrie increased her load to ten lengths at the end of the first half hour, aud then, while Englishmen on the steamboats were hugging themselves with joy, the Vigilant begtm to cut down the open water between her bow and the Valkyrie's stern. She walked right up and took the lead, and the race was a procession for the point. The cup-defender gained 4 minutes and Jo seconds in the first ten miles tacking to wind ward, 4 minutes and 12 seconds in the second ten miles run. and 3 minutes and 2(5 seconds in the last ten miles. She crossed the line ahead of the Valkyrie 12 minutes and 23 seconds actual time, and deducting the time allowance of 1 minute and 48 seconds she won by 10 minutes and 35 seconds. The steam whistles of till the'crul't that could keep tho pace set by the white sloop greeted her, and the people on the decks yelled themselves hoarse. The Valkyrie was over two miles astern when the Vigilant finished. The thirty mile race was run in 3 hours and 25 minutes. The wind blew almost half a gale during the last half of the race and the boats came in with decks forward wet with spray. TIIK YACHTS AND TIIKIK OWM3RS.

He ���was educated at Marrow antl afterward tit Oxford. Then he entered the Life Guards, but resigned his commission in the army in 1807. He then started for a life of adventure, and went to "Abyssinia with an expedition sent to rescue certain prisoners held by the king. During this trip he acted as special correspondent for the Daily Telegraph. Me next went to France with the victorious Germans, and was a familiar figure during the siege of Paris, writing strong and picturesque letters. In politics Dunraven is is n Liberal, and has twice held the office of under sec- rotary for the colonies under Mr. Gladstone. He is tin eminent sportsman, has a.smull but good stable of race horses, as well as a small fleet of racing yachts. SOMK KACTS AHOUT THE VKSSKLS AND THE TROPHY. Fully a half million dollars has been spent in this year's contest over the America's (Jul). This includes the cost of the four American cup-defenders and of the Valkyrie. The Colouia, Pilgrim, and .Jubilee cost about $80,000 apiece to build and equip. The Vigilant cost about $100,- 000. This is more than litis ever before been spent upon a yacht of her size. The added cost of the Vigilant wtis because other bronze hull below the water-line. This bronze is said to have cost $100 for each plate, and it was built on the frame like the plates of steel put on a man-of- war. The bronze hull, which added a fraction of a second to the yacht's speed in a mile, cost $20,000. The cost of the Valkyrie was somewhat less than that of any of the other four boats because of the cheapness of labor iind material in Kngland. Lord Dunraven, it has been figured, could not send the Valkyrie over in the wjiy he has- tit a less cost thau $500 por week. This includes the wages of the crew, provisions, wear and tear on the yacht", with docking charges and transportation. She will be absent from Kngland a-ltogether about ten weeks, and to make the race at the lowest possible estimate has cost lord Dunraven $o(XX), and probably more, leaving out the boat's cost. The contest will cost a gootl deal more than $500,000, iind the intrinsic value of the America's Cup at the present price of silver is about $200. The America's Cup is not a cup at all. It is an ugly jug of no possible use or beauty, and it is shaped like an old-fashioned" vinegar bottle. NoverthelessjMt is the most precious yachting trophy in existence, as it represents the yachting supremacy of the world, and has a long and interesting history. It lias never been in Kuropo since captured by the America in 1851. The America's Cup is kept in a vault iit Tiffany's jewelry store in New York city. On its sides are engraved records of all the races which have been sailed for its possession. There are only one or two more flat surfaces upon which records of races can he engraved, and when those are occupied, it is a question where future records can be put. Tlie old America, it may be, remarked, is still ii yacht in commission. She is a fast boat' even in those days of modern improvements. .For a long time she belonged to Ben Butler, and is now the property of Paul Butler. When Ben Butler was in the South during the war, he heard of the America being sunk in a river. After the war was over, he returned South and bought the America for a song, had her raised and equipped, and used her as a yacht. He afterwards discovered that while she was sunk, the j lores of her wood became impregnated with a kind of fine sand, and this rendered her impervious to any kind of marine insect. In southern waters she needed no copper sheathing, and the gimlet-pointed worms that attacked her found the edge quickly taken off their boring apparatus. The history of America's Cup is almost, but not entirely, the history of international yachting. There have been eight races for this trophy, and in all of them the Americans have been successful. There has not been one of these races that did hot involve as a preliminary long correspondence, generally of a somewhat acrimonious nature. Sometimes, as in the case of lord Dunraven's first challenge, it has been found impossible to arrange a race, and sometimes, as in the case of Mr. Ash bury and the Livonia, the race has come near to being sailed in court instead of on the sea. It is hardly to be supposed the New York Yacht Club intended to be anything but fair and sportsmanlike in framing the latest deed of gift by which the America's Cup is held as a challenge cup for the world, and which is the organic law under which races for it must be sailed; yet an almost universal howl of disapproval went up from yachtsmen on both sides of the water when its provisions became known. The Royal Victoria Yaclit Club, believing that the deed of gift would prevent further challenge for the America's Cup, offered a cup of its own for an international trophy, and carefully formulated ti series of regulations to govern the races for it. The storm of disapproval which greeted the conditions laid down by the Koyal Victoria Vaeht Club was second only to that which hailed the latest deed of gift. So far in the history of yachting there are two things which, though universally desired, yachtsmen-have been unable to arrive at���satisfactory measurement' for time allowance and a satisfactory code of .iute.rnaticmai.:, ^ raven, in a recent article in the North American Review, 'proposed''that three representative yachtsmen be chosen from Kngland, and a like number from America, to meet in Paris and discuss the question of international racing thoroughly, and to formulate a set of rules to govern it. But the rules' formulated . in Paris could never-be'applied to the America's Gup, owing to the fixed conditions under Which it must be raced for. The cup is a trust property held by the New York' Yacht Club for certain specific purposes,' and must be governed by the deed of gift, even if the cup is won by a foreign yacht club, with all its limitations. It is true that the ''mutual-agreement clause" of the deed of gift has been found to be of such elasticity that almost any arrangement satisfactory to both parties can be made for a race for the cup, and that under that mutual-agreement clause a race might be sailed according to the rules of the Paris conference; yet no nation would have a right to demand to be allowed to sail by such rules for the trophy, the deed of gift remaining forever the organic law regarding it. Advocates Taking Away the Lawyers' Bread. In advocating the abolition of the division or county courts in Ontario, a Toronto paper says: "Why should the country be invoked to settle a dispute between a merchant and the man to whom he has sold a suit of clothes? Let the merchant be made to understand that he will not have the machinery of the division court to collect debts, and you will find him exorcising more caution in giving credit. The sale of a suit of clothes is a small matter. The country should not be involved in it at all. if the merchant who has the clothes to sell and the man who wants to buy them cannot make a bargain that is final, then let there be no deal between thein. The public is not concerned whether the merchant sells his suit of clothes or not. Let him assume all responsibility of letting his suit get out of hi.s possession. If he chooses to let his property pass to a scamp, that is his own funeral." The cash system, in the smallest business transactions at least, is the most economical. On the credit system honest people have to pay the debts of the good- for-nothing and dishonest. EDUCATED BUT NOT PRACTICAL. The Hand Does not Carry Out the Directions of the Head. One of the best known miners in Kootenay registered at the international hotel this week, and one evening during his stay he drifted into conversation with other guests of the hotel on the question of educated men as mine superintendents and minors. Said he: "'1 never knew a Freiberg man' that was any good when it came down to attempting anything in a practical way; they all knew how it should be done, but none of them could do it. The same holds good in regard to geologists; they all know the formations in which mineral should be looked for but none of them ever iind it. The successful mining superintendents arc not graduates of milling schools; but fire, on the contrary, always men who began as laborers in some mine. The men who find our great mines are not geologists; but more often are men who do not know granite rfrom limestone. I contend that too much learning on any subject unfits the learner for obtaining the best results when practically engaged." - One of his hearers ventured to remark that education and practical work should go together; that the workman who took pride in hi.s trade always endeavored to gain proficiency by study; that the one great, difficulty encountered by all employers of labor was the finding of men . who took an interest in their work; that this lack of interest was the direct result oflack of knowledge. Another hearer maintained that the worker who had a liberal education wtis more likely to get to the front than the worker lacking in education. The miner, however, maintained that a a. collegiate education unfitted a man to follow any calling or business dependent on practical results. The Century Magazine for October has an article on the apprentice system prevailing in the United States. It endeavors to show that while American boys are growing up in idleness, and are filling the prisons, American trades are controlled by foreigners whose sympathies are not with American institutions, and asks, "What is the remedy?" It then goes on to show that the remedy is in education. Authorities are cited, one of whom says: "There is common testimony,to the fact of the decay of the system of .'apprentice-: i^Tip^and.-^ modifications, are the same the world over���the conflict between labor and capital, the rapid introduction of machinery, and the changed conditions resulting in all the producing and manufacturing industries. With the gradual and almost total extinction of apprenticeship, labor- has not only become unskilled, and nearly-' dead to all sense of professional pride and ambition, but too often dishonest, demoralized, iind brutal. The consequences are serious and far-reaching, and thoughtful persons everywhere are beginning to seek a remedy. As the system of apprenticeship was based upon a form of education, we naturally seek the remedy through the same agency." The remedy is in the establishment of technical schools, which range from the manual-training instruction of-'children up through" apprentice'iind artisan schools to the high polytechnic or scientific institutions which take rank with the great universities. The nations which have developed these beneficent institutions have acted upon the idea that their children should not only be educated to some useful employment, but that it is of the first importance to a nation to develop to the highest degree the mechanical talent of its inhabitants. ' A Great Gold Field. The estimated yield of the Ilandt. mines in South Africa this year is a total of 1,500,000 ounces, which would be worth about $2:3,000,000. Kac.li month litis shown an advance of output except February. In August the yield was 1.'}(', 00!). ounces. South Africa is now the most prolific- auriferous region of the world, but it litis been only skimmed so far, there still being vast reef deposits to develop. One thing is greatly in favor of the enterprise. The milling is said to be conducted fairly in the interests of the shareholders, and the processes are the most economical known, with the result that almost every particle of gold is extracted, and the tailings, after treatment, are valueless. sents, when that senator (Dubois) was in the loins of his grandmother Lois." Nobody could throw any light on this'allusion. Mr. Dubois was inclined to think that it pointed in some sort of an obscure way to his French descent, but a Boston newspaper correspondent heard of his trouble and said to him: "Why, senator, it was one of Mr. Ii oar's characteristic Biblical allusions. Lois was the mother of Timothy, and iu indicating that he was so very much older than you, the Massachusetts sena.tor was paying you a very delicate compliment." "Ah, I am glad the senator intended it tis a compliment," said Dubois, much relieved; "1 have been laboring every since yesterday under the impression that it was a brutal assault."

They comprise three Kennedy brothers and a Mr. Stewart who remained at Kdinonton, while the other two members of the party went 011 to Athabasca. Landing. They came across the mountains by the Crow's Nest pass. They intend to take up land in this part of the country.

Ill his remarks in the senate debate on silver, Mr. Hoar, nettled at something said by young Mr. Dubois of Idaho, endeavored to get back at him by referring to bis extreme yoiitbfulness, iind quoting ti well-known passage from Scott;. Mr. Dubois then procured a copy of the Congressional Becord. and showed this passage i" Mi'. Hoar's remarks to his colleagues: "I was opposed to the things! which the present administration repre- I He Destroys a Discovery that was Liable to Stimulate Fraud. Dr. il. P. Barnuin, a chemist of Louisville, Kentucky, is tho man who invented the celebrated ink-eraser, which caused so much talk several years ago. In an interview with a reporter he gave the following interesting, facts: "When I first got my ink-eraser completed 1 thought my fortune was made, but 1 soon discovered that it was so conducive to crime that I suppressed its sale and have always kept the secret to myself. I suppose it will die with me. This eraser could positively erase all traces of ink from any kind of paper. I remember one man who wrote a letter to the Courier- Journal, telling them that' he did not believe the account which they had published of the eraser." Some of the men in the Courier-Journal office took some of my erasing fluid and wiped all the ink out of his letter except the signature. A chock for $100 was then written above the signature, and they went to the bank and got the money. 111 a short time after its introduction several crimes in Louisville, as well a.s elsewhere, had been committed by the aid of the eraser, and when ti well-known young man in Louisville perpetrated a fraud upon hi.s firm by its use and went to California, I then determined never to allow any more of the fluid to be manufactured. "1 have, however, since donesome work with it myself. At one time a number of securities of the Falls City Bank of Louisville had been stolen, and the holders of the bonds in the community got in the habit of writing tlieir names across the face.of their bonds, aud also a statement that the bonds were .not good unlgss in- (lorsed."But"-when "they"wiin'ted to dis- posc of these bonds they found that nobody would buy them with the writing across the face. They came to nie with a rush and wanted me to-remove the writing. 1 had at one time $100,000 worth of ��� those bonds, with the-agreement that if any traces of ink-or the-fluid wore left I was to buy each bond so defaced at its face value, but .1-didn't have to buy any of them." , Por Whom Do Women Dress? The Boston Globe recently fired this interesting query at its readers: "For whom do women dress?" The shot pro-' voved a. broadside of opinions from a multitude of people. The question is one that 'always interests the public. A largo .proportion of American citizens 'hold that- women'dress to plesi.se the men. Another class, equally numerous, insist that they ���project iind execute elegant toilets in order to provoke the admiration and envy of other women. The obvious truth is that women clothe themselves in tasteful and beautiful fabrics because they are women. It is a fact to be thankful for that all the fads of all the reformers in creation can not reform the inherent delight of the civilized woman in beautiful and graceful things, if she lived in it country without a man-in it, she would still regard the fit and hue of her garments as matters of essential importance. Of course women are not unmindful of the .opinion of the opposite sex. They like admiration when it is respectful, and they are a great deal happier when their dress is cord hilly-praised by one -particular mail whose approbation they value above most things terrestrial. But they select their garb primarily, not to gain masculine flattery, but in obedience to the dominant instinct which makes the modern woman a constantly refining and uplifting force. Pronounce it Val-kye-ree. Megiirding the pronunciation of the name Valkyrie, the New Y'ork Sun says: "We arc informed that in Kngland the name of lord Putiraven's yacht is pronounced-as if it were written Val-kyo-ree. the 'y' in the second syllable having the same sound a.s in lhe word why. Wi h all due respect to lord Dunraven let. us say that this is a very wrong pronunciation. Valkyrie is a Norse word and should bespoken as Norsemen speak it. That is as if it were written Val-kirry-ye." Kngiish speaking people, however, will give Valkyrie flu; Kngiish pronunciation, which is notiit all an incorrect thing'to do. The Mine is Situated Less Than Five Miles Prom Nelson, With Which it is Connected by a Good Wagon Road, an Excellent Trail, and a Telephone Line' That is Always in Good Order. The Hall Mines, Limited, magnates have come iind gone, and actual work has once more been resumed on what is likely to be'one of the greatest mines in the,world.. The survey made for the tramway shows that the distance from the Silver King to the'water front, a mile below Nelson, is little more than -17, miles. The tramway will not be built until spring, as the plans must first receive the approval of the board of directors���aud the board meets in London. Between _00 and 100 feet of shafts, crosscut tunnels, and drifts will be run during the winter, which will give employment to forty-odd men. Additions will also be made to the quarters of the men iind a shaft-house erected. A shaft will be sunk on the Kootenay Bonanza; a drift run both ways from the winze sunk in the main tunnel: and a drift run both ways from the old shaft ou the Silver King. These drifts will be started .about halfway down 011 both the shaft and the winze. Most of this work will be done by contract. Preparations are being made to ship a hundred tons of the ore now in the ore- house to Swansea. 'Wales; iind if navigation holds out on the Columbia river, further shipments will be made. All the ore taken out this winter will be-carefully sorted for shipment, which indicates that, for ii time at least, the high-grade ore will be shipped to Wales. Mr. Neilson of Ayr, Scotland, who appears to be the managing director, has left i'or home. Mr. JIarvey, the mining engineer, litis also left for Colorado. Both went out by way of Spokane. The former gentleman is a practical man, and works large iron iind coal mines in Scotland iind Kngland. Mr. Harvey is recognized iis one of the best practical mining engineers in the country, and is now engaged in superintending mines in Colorado. For;the present Mr. Croasdaile will act sis resident " manager for the company. Mr. R. Vuill will be foreman. Routes that are of Great Benefit. When at Nelson, captain Armstrong of (���'olden stilted that the opening of the steamboat transportation route south from Fort Steele to Jennings. Montana, had been of great benefit lo Kast Koolenay. It opened up that, section to prospectors, iind prospectors, apparently, all come from the l'nited Slates. Vet, there are people iu British Columbia, and some of them iu high official position, who would close every route leading to the south ; would keep out the men who make it possible I'or British subjects to live aud thrive iu southeastern British Columbia. Cheap Labor Not Profitable. As an instance of the unprofitableness of cheap labor, the following is given : Over iii ..Fast Kootenay is a gold-claim that has more than a-local reputation.- It was sold to 'a capitalist from -Ottawa', who soon after buying it 'erected a. 5-stamp mill on the property..' The Ottawa man, like too many men from the Kast, imagined he could operate his mine and mill with men willing to work for the wages paid in.the-.Kast. When advised that an amalgamator could not be had unless the wages prevailing in the "West 'were paid, he smiled and said: "Why, i.������can"get."a good amalgamator right here in Golden who will work for $2 a day." And he hired his $2-a-day man.... The mill.'-'was started up for.a trial run on ore thatga-vo good assay returns. When the 'amalgam ��� was received tit ('"olden,:if appeared all right as-to quantity, but when retorted it was all wrong. It did not contain even a trace .of gold; but, instead, it carried a good percentage of 'copper. The cheap amalgamator had not sense enough to galvanize the copper plates, iind if the ore had carried $1000 iu free gold to the ton not ii trace would have been saved. The Ottawa man left for home in disgust, iind is now attempting^to dispose of the mill and mine to a Victoria syndicate. Mining to be carried on successfully must be directed by experienced-men, and experienced men well know that good miners iind mill nien cannot be had unless paid-, good .wages. But this fact-cannot be pounded into the''cranium of the'average Kastern man who comes West-seeking investments in mines. Looking the Ground Over. John Hendry iind I.). J. .Miimi. accom panicd by a Mr. Guthrie and a Mr. Foley, arrived at Kaslo this week. As Messrs. Hendry and Munii are two of the principal promoters of the Kaslo i^ Slocan Bail- way Coiiinany. and Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Foley railway men from St. Paul, if is supposed that something may yet happen in ii railway way roundabout Kaslo.

THURSDAY "MORNING OCTOHKR I.. 1S!�� ONE FOREIGNER GOOD AS ANOTHER. Premier Davie made a speech at Ivtun- loops Jtist week in wliieh he referred to the methods adopted to secure the building of the Nakusp <k Slocan railway, a railway the building of which, he said, was an urgent necessity for the "opening ������' up of the Kootenay mines and thebring- " ing of trade this way, as there was ���' great danger of the trade being diverted ���' into ti foreign country aud taken away " from us."' What trade did the premier mean? Did he mean the grocery trade, or the hardware trade, or the dry goods trade, or the clothing trade? If he did, he is not "well posted; for none of that trade can possibly be diverted from Montreal, or Toronto, or Hamilton, in eastern Canada, or Victoria, in western Canada. The protective duty imposed by the Dominion prevents the purchase of any of the above mentioned lines of goods iu the United States. If the premier meant the trade in ore, lie was equally tit fault. There tire no other markets than those of the United States I'or the ores mined in Kootenay. The ores must of necessity he .shipped to the United Slates, iind the route by which they can be shipped the cheapest will result in working the greatest gooil to Kootenay. The people of Kootenay can see no difference in paying freight rates that yield dividends to ra.il- -way shareholders who live in' l.uropo or to railway shareholders who live in the United States. Perhaps they would rather pay dividends to the hitter, for did not the premier say in that Kamloops speech that the'capital to develop iind ���work our mines is expected to come from the United States? .If the people ofthe United States are the only ones willing to risk 'money in. the development of our mines, surely they are a.s fairly entitled to the profits to be made in transporting the ores mined as are the people of l_urope yvho are unwilling to take such risks. To ��� the.people of Kootenay, one foreigner is as'good its another. THE CUT IN WAGES. The men., and ..".corporations., operating inines in Nelson and Trail Creek districts ���������have cut the wages of miners and laborers from $3.50 and $3 a day to..$3 and $2.50 a day. No reasons are given for--making the cut, other than that any number of miners and laborers can be got to work for-the. reduced-wages. In other words, the mine operators have taken advantage of tlie times and the necessities of the men. This will surely lead to trouble in the future, for miners and laborers, when their necessities are relieved, will insist on'a higher rate of wages. Tmo Trijujnk maintains now, and will always maintain, that the rate of $3.50 a day for miners and $3 a day for laborers is not unfair to the operator and is its low as the miner and laboring man can work for in this country, in order to save anything for a "rainy day" or for old age. The introduction of foreign capital may be a blessing, but when it insists on reducing wages to the level .paid in the "Did Country," or in "the Mast," it is a curse. THE PARTY OF PROGRESS. One of the strongest arguments used by the friends of premier Davie when advocating the retention of that gentleman in power is that'his party is progressive; antl now we are beginning to believe them, for did not the premier use the following words in his late Kit m loops speech: Did he not say in referring to the provincial guarantee of interest on the Xakusp it Slocan construction bonds, that "it is a " matter I'or grave consideration whether ���' if is not infinitely more to the advan- " Itige of the province to guarantee both ." principal and interest than interest " simply?" Did lit; not say further, "that '��� in arranging for litiancing the Nakusp "' road the government, whilst giving the " guarantee as authorized by the act, " have provided that the bonds shall re- " main in escrow until the act can be " amended by lhe legislature?" This is ti, progressive policy, indeed. From this time on, we suppose, the Davie government will see to it that both the principal and the interest on railway Jboiid.s will be guaranteed by the province, that is, if the railway is a branch of the Canadian Pacific. No other railway need apply, except, perhaps, the British Pacific. Would it not be a more progressive policy for the government to own the railways after the province pays for their building? Ik the Englishmen who are so anxious to win the America's cup would only give their yachts a name tha-t people could understand without hunting up ancient lore, they might stand a show of winning it. Such names as the "("enesta." "Galatea,'" and " Valkyrie" handicap a good boat. IJ K poll is the war the Democratic party in the United States was controlled by the shi veholders of the south. Today it is controlled by the money lenders of the north. Over 800.000 lives were lost iind more than .$5,000,000,000 were spent in overthrowing the siaveliolding oligarchy. Will ti like sacrifice be required to overthrow the plutocrats of today. Tiik Piicific Canadian is the name of a weekly pa]ior recently started at New "Westminster. The only wonder is: Why was it ever started? Tiiti average reader will not understand thh paragraph, but tho average printer and newspaperman will. The swineish disposition of a newspaper owner win always be distinguished by the "leanness"' or "fatness" of the type in which his paper is printed. Tho Vancouver AVopld, when its type Avas set by printers, had the "leanest" faced type in the province: now that its type is set by machines it uses the "fattest" laced matrices furnished by the machine manufacturers. Tiik great newspapers of the United States and Canada, with but few exceptions, are now in the hands of corporations that run them tis commercial ven- tures. All great editors tire either dead or inu/./.Ied. Great newspapers tire no longer read "to see what-Morace Greeley " says," or "to see Avliat (ieorge Brown " says," but arc read for the news they contain. Not one reader in a hundred is influenced or guided by the expressions found on the editorial page, for tho reader well knows that the expressions there found never A'oice the wishes of the people, when their Avishos conflict with the interests of the groat corporations. And that conflict is apparently irrepressible. The groat, newspapers are now simply spreaders of news, not disseminators of ideas. Tin-: Vancouver World announces that it appears in a new dress every day. Judging from appearances, tho dresses are "misfits." ___ ;' Tun United States is no longer a 'Republic, except in name only. It is now a monarchy, much more so than is England. Grover I. is king, and he is doing Avhat kingly rulers in Europe have not dared do in late years, that is, sell official position ���for a money consideration. For the suin of $50,000,"paid by J. .1. Van Allen, Mr. ���Vii-u Allen has been appointed minister to I'taly. Of course, Mr. Van Allen did not pay'that, amount, of money directly to Grover I., but its payment indirectly bellied place Grover in an official position to which he should never have been elected. Mr. 'Van Allen contributed $50,- 000 to the National Democratic Committee last fall on the one condition that he be appointed minister to Italy. Cleveland Cracks His Whip. On Saturday last president'Cleveland, through secretary Carlisle, ordered the advocates of the bill repealing the Sherman act to try the-effects of a continuous session in the senate, and on "Wednesday, of this week senator Voorhees wtis to make the attempt. That the attempt Avill produce important results can hardly be doubted by anyone familiar with the situation. The opinion expressed is that there will be a compromise of so nie character agreed to and put through simply to extend the Sherman I;iav for a definite period'with reduced monthly purchases. This plan seems to be taking shape as the most likely of the various propositions to receive approval. The proposition to include the bond purchase is also receiving attention iind the present indications are that while many Democrats may not agree to such a proposition, it may be put tli rough with I he assist a nee of the .Republicans. Senators from silver producing states are constantly consulted and advised with as to tei ms of agreement, but they will not be .allowed to dictate in the matter, of compromise. Many Married People on the Anxious Seat. A. decision by judge Sheppard of the Bowie county district court makes illegal over one thousand marriages in fhecoitnty of Piowie, Texas. For more than ten years prior to .January 1st last it has been the custom of county clerks, for the general convenience of people desiring to marry, to fill out a marriage license in-blank iind leave the same with the justice of the peace in each precinct where they were supplied to persons making application I'or such license, the justice filling in the names desired and collecting the legal fees. It is estimated that more than a thousand couples residing in Bowie county were married with such licenses during the last decade, including also a number of persons of the highest social standing in'J'exarkana. It was on the question of the legality of such licenses and marriage ceremonies that the judge rendered the decision. The court holds such marriages t,o be irregular and illegal, and consequently void. The case will be appealed immediately to the supreme court. BIG PURSES BUT NO MONEY. The Good Old Days Compared With Those of Today. The Corbett-Mitchell match has revived interest in prize-lighting, and tis the match is for $10,000 ii side and a $10,000 purse, it is of interest to know what the best men of the "good old days" fought for. "Billy" Madden, who has quit the ring for the more congenial and profitable work of writing for the newspapers, tells what he knows of past and present fighters and fights iu ;i recent letter to the Buffalo Express. What ;i mighty lot of difference there is between the prize-fighter of today and his prototype of ten or twenty years ago! And wlitit has caused this great difference? Well, in my humble opinion, it is better times and a change from London prize- ring rules to Marquis of Queonsberry. Those were good old days when men fought under London prize-ring rules. It wtis "throw him down, McClosky," and knock the spots out of him; do tiny thing in I act save gouge his eyes out or chew his ear oil". And these old rules were the rules to try a man's courage and endurance. It was almost a rough-and-tumble fight, with a few little pleasantries barred such as I have already spoken of. Vou get your man down aud then try your best to do him. I do not think the rules now generally recognized in boxing contests show tho true courage and endurance possessed by a fighter. They rather bring out cleverness and good lighting. Still, on the whole, I would rather see the men light under them. A bare-knuckle light under London nnes was sometimes a A'ery rough affair. I have seen fights that, hardened as I was, or should be, made me burn'away sick tit heart, and they were fights that I ditl not have a dollar on. f have seen men ripped by spikes in a horrible milliner about the icgs. When I seconded Jack Dempsey in his light with ���Johnny Reagan on Long Island, lioagiin cut hii'ii until his logs wore bleeding from tt dozen wounds. Thai fight, by the way, netted Dempsey but $(3S, instead of the $1000 that was to be paid. Well, a fighter AViis lucky in those "good old days" if he did not get shoved into jail after the battle 'Why. I remember fighting in New Orleans a chap named Tom .Hart, iu the same ring by. the way that Mace and Coburn fought. After licking my man I. got $12.50 as my share. My rival wtis completely blinded and had to pay si boy 50 cents to take him home. Still he was better off than I. for the crowd passed liho hat around and collected $00 for him. I fought another fellow, a middle-weight champion, named .Jim Taylor. After fighting 55 rounds with bare knuckles of course." 1 dropped my man, and for that I got $5 and a new coat. I would have considered myself lucky to have got oil' with that but I had to be arrested and thrown in jail. Oh, those were good old flays and no mistake. The sports would makea grand bluff and- put up big sums of stake money iind .purses, but'always with a string tied to 'them. When the fight was over the string was pulled and back .came the money. The poor devils who had been hammering each other like tigers with a gigantic, purse ���dangling alluringly before their eyes, Avouid be given a $5 or $10 bill and-told to go and blow themselves. Directly there was no money in lighting then, but indirectly there was. The gamblers would take tiie successful lighters in toAV and have them around their places for attractions. They would give them interests, too, or help them to open a "pub," so they weren't so badly off after all. Then there was another way to make money���by a benefit. Jn those days' IJeenaii and Morrissey would make as much money in that way, aye and even more, than a fight would bring. But woe to the poor chap who was not ji star. He livedi a hand-to-mouth life aud its pretty much the same today. Today the champions are the people and it was the.same yesterday. It is a".matter of history that Sayers and 1-J.eenan fought for $1000 and Heeiian had to pay his own expenses to .England. W'iien Bi'lly Edwards and Tom Collins fought for the light-weight championship they fought for "-iKJOO. They fought sev oral hours until the night came and what did they get for it? Six months on the island. ' "Oh, those were good old days."' I might go on. and-mention ii thousand and one similar instances, but those just quoted are sufficient. No .inducement was -needed then to make men fight then; they were til ways ready at tho .drop of a hat*. .And it wasn't hard to make a reputa- tiition then. There were not so many lighters and consequently the men were not tried out so much as. now. Vou had to work to get your reputation, of course, but win one light iind you had it. It was easy going after that. Vou cannot compare the lighter of the I last with those of today. Like several other things, yesterday is better than today. And the reason, therefore, is that the old-timer hit straight punches, lie could not swing tis today because he had nothing on his hands to save him. A straight puncher, therefore, is superior to the man who swings. Today glove-lighting is like-sand-bagging. Vou hit a man in the right place and he drops dizzy and unconscious. Still, there wtis more or less swinging done, and I remember seeing one light in which but one straight blow wtis struck. It wtis between Dwyer iind Elliot. They threw tlieir hands "at each other a.s if they were throwing bricks. It was the artist in those days thatgavo the straight punches and it was the artist that won the light. And the .artist when knocking around would always have some slow guy traveling with hini,'so that he could show off the better. Fighting might, be called a game of billiards. Vou are a good man and you go against someone who is flower, so that you have a dead cinch. Go against a better man and you are left at the post. It's tho speed that makes the class. The good man hits more chance of going down now because the inducements are greater. A New Railway Under Construction.

There is coin and lots of it today iind no string to it either. So. the good mini runs up against some other good man. who. from lack of business management has not been brought before tJie public, and he gets thrown. Fighting hits assumed abusiness-likeair lately, anrl all because there is money in it. A man witJi a reputation gets boomed and gets money. There are iots of good men never brought before the public and there are lots of men who are no gootl that are. Take Hilly Plinimer, for instance. He should have been on fop long ago. Why was he not? J_eciiu.se of lack of business management. Then there is .Martin Flaherty of Boston, a, clever little chap who licked J,obby Bums and who litis a draw to his credit with George Dixon. Me is liable to be a.s good as the best, but yet he is in tlie background been use there was no one to bring him out. Jt's the manager in these days on Avhom the fighter depends. It is the manager who makes the money come his man's way. always providing his man-is a good one. You've got to be like Barnuin. aud not only advertise them, but do it in a business like manner. Coming back to old-timers, it is curious to note that the champions were men around live feet nine or ten inches tall. They had more vitality iind endurance, iind the f.oudon rules enabled them to show their qualities. There of course, wtis the invariable exception. Tom Myer was a big ma,n and a gootl one, too. Then there was Ned (.'Baldwin, who stood six feet live and one-half inches. Ned was a lure'un. He beat the best of them. I remember the time ho boxed a friendly bout with -John Dwyer. He let tho latter fool around until he got fresh, then ho simply knocked him down Avith a smash right-straight from the shoulder. O'Biildwin challenged Mace at one time. The latter was forty years old and champion- of the world. lUace smiled gently iind said: ''Neddy, do you want to light your father"-1" Mace was only ten years the elder, but his remark carried him through. In my opinion, Mace Avas the cleverest lighter in the world. lie was also a rare gootl fellow. .Either way there was not .10 per cent difference between liitn and James ,1. Oorbett. .John L. Sullivan was the greatest Mar- 'quis of Queensberry rules lighter in his (lay tiie world has ever seen. He was like a tiger, quick and strong. Another man whom 1 think can lick anybody at his Aveight, Marquis'of'Queensberry rules, is .lack McAulifl'e. He is a wonder and excels anybody at that style of fighting if he is in form. .1 had a somewhat turbulent experience'the time that Joe McAulifl'e fought Frank -Shi-viir. in England. .Both men were arrested after the fight, which, by the way, would not have come off had not the earl of .Lonsdale and Richard K. Fox guaranteed to see myself and McAuliffe safely through. 1 was on the witness stand, and they tried to prove by me that tiie affair wtis a prize light. "A prize light, gentlemen," J said, "no, indeed, ft Avas a boxing exhibition'legalized by law." The learned council thought different and tried to show that because one man was knocked down several times that it Avas a prize'light. I .agreed that tlie man was knocked clown several times and told how McAuliffe and 1. drank several bottles of beer after the light and in the morning. His lordship on the bench leaned back iind exclaimed: "Ditl you drink all that beeh, deji.li nie!" He wtis horrified to think we should drink beer, why .1 do not know. The jury disagreed, and on the next trial everybody was discharged. Since that time there lias been no trouble in pulling off lights in England. They can't convict them because it's only a boxing exhibition, you know*. A man seldom gets badly hurt in a prize fight', anyway, if he is trained, lie must be trained, however, and be a well man. Suppose you were to run 100 yards tomorrow. Vou might drop dead. It's the sumo with the lighter, if he goes into the ring untrained, a blow in the right place might kill him. In training, a man should work when he feels well. Scratch it when you don't. Eat anything-you want iind drink anything save "booze." Again, there sire some men who could light better if they did not train, and that is because they don't know how to train; they overdo it. Another thing which may be worth taking note of. 1 have seen every fighter of prominence in the ring, and I have seen them all fight like suckers at times iind all because they got rattled. And don't forget that the straight punch is the proper way to light. It's the way to win. Swinging is like long-distance telephoning. Take the ease of Dixon and I'limnier and you have in in a nutshell. Mica Found in the Rockies. Edmonton Times, "ith: '���Donald McDonald, ii I'm' trader, who has been bartering with the Indians I'or several months, returned from the Jasper pass in the Hoeky mountains last Friday evening, bringing with him some excellent snnij'les of mica. Reports from the In dians always lead to the belief that the mineral was im existence there, but it is only now that there is tiny tangible evidence that it is to be found in large quantities. The samples brought to town measure about ten inches in length, half tin inch thick iind seven inches wide: are of tt line quality and very translucent, almost transparent. They are quite equal to the highest-priced mica in the market and tire quite free from smoky- ness. Another sample they brought away, said to be ;i very large one. was bartered to an Indian for three martin skins, worth $(i. There are said to be tons of mineral where these .samples came from, sticking out of the rock in all directions. Some are thin and of a. redish color, others tire deeply imbedded in the rock and are very dark, owing to their thickness. Some of the largest pieces measure IS inches in length. 12 inches wide, and S inches deep: but maybe larger, as these are only tlie measurements that appear ou the surface. The find appears lo be a. good one iind much interest 1ms been centered in it bv our citizens."

A STRANGE TALE OF INDIA. I had joined a parly in lhe hope ol' a low days' sporl in thu hills near Aniiil- pore: bnfc on the seeond day out. lhe accidental discharge ol' a #uii in the hands of a careless young Irish lienteininb made tin end of my " bush-beating," and nearly ma.de an end of nie. My native servant, by sonic inexplicable, means, discovered a bungalow in tlie midst of the wilds���the home of tin Iinglish gentleman, a. retired army surgeon, who, for reasons best known to himself, (put the society of men and lodged like a bittern in ���'solitary and 'waste places." Thither I wtis etirried. For a week my life hung on a thread; but thanks' to a strong constitution and careful nursing, 1 pulled through, and soon found myself convalescent. My host proved a must tigreetiblc companion:' We had many tastes.in common, and found pieasa n t topic for cou versation as we sat smoking our cheroots on the broad veranda. One evening, while arguing on the ���respective merits of a twelve- bore or a five-hundred-express rifle as'the best means of bringing down big game, the doctor was called away. Left to myself. I sought amusement in Avatching the movements of a white herein that stalked awkwardly about in the shallow po.ols that lay on the lawn. The rain fell in gentle pnttoriugs. A slight breeze stirred the vines about the pillars and rustled the fringed palm leaves overhead. How peaceful and quiet it was! The splash of the rain aud the faint sounds of the rustling foliage were till that broke the surrounding stillness. Where he came from, I cannot tell: but all tit once, through the faint blue smoke of my cheroot, appeared a little withered ��� fakir peering at nie from under the loose folds of his dirty turban. Mis skinny , brown body wtis naked, stive the presence of a. piece of tiger-skin wrapped about his loins iind a belt that ran across his body from shoulder to waist.' He was in uttering to himself, but the only words that I. could catch were "Brahma, Brahma, Radhe-fitsee." Surprise nitide me speechless. 1 simply stared at the wizened face aud glittering black eyes, wondering what he was going to do. The sound of the.swinging purdah told of Walworth's 'return. ".Did you think that .1 had forsaken you?" he said, ligh ly; "Thlira's interviews are interminable. Me is as long- winded as a tipsy Irishman." 1 halt-turned toward him while he was- speaking. As he came around and resumed his chair, I said, iu tin undertone: "What do vou think of this fossil?" "What fossil?" he asked. "The one before us," I replied, turning and looking at the place where fakir had siood. No fakir wtis there. On the gravel walk lay a httlf-coiled cobra. Walworth sttiited to his feet and called for JMarja to bring him a gun. The cobra lay quiet for ii moment, as if in contemplation of the situation, then, at the sound of approaching feet, with slow and graceful movement tend erect head, slid across the sodden grass and disappeared through iin opening under the veranda. " Rather a dangerous fossil," said Walworth, eyeing me curiously; "the men must keep a watch for him. Vou area cool one, I must confess, my lad." "I was not alluding to the snake," replied I; "I had reference to the fakir. I wonder what became of the poor wretch. The cobra frightened him away, I suppose. What are you about?"

"A charm for his snakeship," said my host, laughing; "a cloud of aromatic incense ami a serenade on the toumril." But neither the incense nor the seductive strains of the toumril were sufficiently potent to call the cobra from his covert. "That no time cobra." said Maria : sahib saw fakir, bub all at once no fakir, only snake. JMarja knows." His tones were mysterious. I smiled and looked at his master. "A metamorphosis, eh?" Walworth nodded. "A clear case of Theosophy. Pythagoras at ti slight discount." 1 continued. Walworth looked grave. lie dismissed the servant with a wave of his hand, threw away his cigar, which had gone out, shifted his position slightly and leaned more comfortably in his chair. ~ _ - "Vou are skeptictil," he said. "Listen to what 1 have to tell you; perhaps then you will'believe." I was a much younger man. than.you when 1. came to India. 1 was surgeon of the Fusileers. Shortly after we were stationed at the fort, I was invited. tt> an entertainment given by a native nobleman at his palace in the city.. The scene reminded me of the "Arabian Nights." Oriental magnificence was mingled witli lOuropean elegance. We were received in an .open court-yard, spread with cream- coloreel Vtic rugs, in the center of which a fountain phiyeel in a white .marble basin, cooling the air with its perfumed s| >ra y. 1 ha I ted a t the u pper step, of the stairway and stootl leaning, wilh one hand on the broad railing.'watching the kaleidoscopic scene before me. Our colonel iind his wife stopped a. moment to speak to me. As they turned to go Mrs. Boh Ion's name was called, and, a little lower down, with a screen of palms and flowers for a background, was a young girl. 1 thought I had never seen one so beautiful. She was dark, but. her skin was pale, transparent brown, Hushed with the crimson of a rose leaf. Her 1 ijss were carmine, opening, as she smiled, over teeth as white tis pearls. Her soft, histerless black hair wtis drawn up from her temples and e:aught back by a comb 'of gold filigree. Her eyes were chirk, soft, atui velvety. "So you were going to '.pass nie unnoticed!" she said in the sweetest voice possible. "Why. iViiditt ! what are you doing here alone? When did you return?" "Today. I am not alone;. Papa is there the first pillar speaking to general Days of sunshine followed. i\Iy wife chattered and laughed like a paroquet. Poor child ! she was homesick. 1 was waiting in my gharry, one evening for a friend who was to drive with me to tin outpost ji. few miles from tho station. As 1 entered his compound. J noticed a, bevy of ladies at Chofah-ha/.ree on the veranda. Not in a mood to join them, 1 drew it]) under a tree antl sent my boy to the house. I was .sufficiently, near to hoar their voices, and the conversation was distinctly audible above the clatter of silver and china. As a matter-of-fact, uninterested Benedict .1 paid no attention totheirchiitterunt.il 1 heard ��i. voice, rendered shrill-by susprise. exclaim: "Naida Howe married ! Groat heavens! Who is the unfortunate man? Me must have been either a. stranger or a lunatic. What did you all mean by permitting him to marry her? 'Was no one kind enough to warn the poor fellow?" What the devil did (he woman mean? I strained my ears to catch the reply. "A warning would have done him no good. He was the most infatuated man J ever saw. Love wrapped him as with a garment. And. besides, it never does (o burn one's fingers with other people's fires. I (hire say they will get along; Xaida. is very peculiar, but she is a very sweet girl." "���Peculiar!' I should say so._ Heaven delivei " At that moment Kirk came out, and we drove a way. All the evening the echo of those dreadful words rang in my ears. Great God! what did it all moan; 1 reached home with a .strange foreboding of evil. I felt heavy and oppressed. The lusters sparkled in taint gleams that filled the anteroom with languorous light. It wtis so still you might have fancied that death (iiled the place. By the shining panels on the wall hard by the bay window, I caught sight of a jeweled hand toying with the folds of the curtain. The red glint of the gems sparkled on the dusky skin. I called her name softly, "Xaida!" "Ah!" She arose iind pushed the curtain aside iind came languidly toward me. There was a peculiar expression in her eyes. She stared'at nie for it, second of time, and then, before I could say a word, glided front the room. Her handkerchief had fallen. 1. raised it from the floor; a faint, subtile odor emanated from its folds. I cast it from nie���1 can't tell why���and crossed over to the window. A pale moonlight .lay on the lawn, and the shadows of the shrubbery lay in dee]) contrast to the silvery sheen. The punka boy was asleep on the grass, with my Irish setter beside him. I was about to call and arouse him, when out into the moonlight from the black shade-.of a her face between my hands, looked into her eyes. Their expression Im filed me. I gently kissed her lips. She put out her hands and pushed me from her. "Where is Gurgah?" she said, in a husky whisper. Some one was already bendingover her. The ayah's thin arms lifted her up and carried her to her bed chamber. I heard her scream aloud and bent her hands upon the wall. Wtis she mad? The fearful thought darted like lightning through my brain. I went to the door and looked in. Her eyes were roaming here iind thereabout the room. Gurgah was leaning over her, chafing her hands and crooning a low, soothing song. "My presence secnied to irritate her: she turned away when she met my gaze, buried her head iu the pillow, and lay there with her face downward. I diii not want to torture her. I went to my own room. In the morning, to my great surprise, I found her on the veranda. No sign of hist night's excitement was visible. She was endeavoring to nuike Taio, her pug, sit erect tind hold a bit of biscuit on his nose. ���'I am putting the stupid fellow through ii course of training," she cried, gayly, tis 1 came upon the .scene. 'Her voice was sweet and clear, and told of no pain or distress. She arose from lier stooping posture, thrust her arm in through mine, and said: "Let us take a walk through the compound, dearest. I want to hear the birds sing before breakfast. I wonder." she went on. as we walked along under the pa.lni shade, "if you are my soul's affinity?" "Of course," 1 replied. "We would not have fallen in love so soon and married if an a-ffhiity had not existed between us." "Vou do no tpiite understand nie. Jontio. I mean celestial affinity���a bond that will last beyond time." Her look wandered off into space. Presently she turned her eyes up to mine. "John." she said, "do you believe in the progress of souls?"' "I have never given the subject a thought, so I can not say. I believe in the progress of bodies," 1 replied lightly. "Vou have more faith in materialism than in spirituality," she continued, gravely. ".Jiva. is more potent that Rupa. Burn the body, and the soul (lies back to the great soul from which it was originally borrowed. Linf.fa Sharira is an ethereal duplicate of the physical body, it guides Jiva in its work on physical particles and builds up the shape which these assume. Vou should study, John." I smiled. "Wisdom, thy name is Naida ! Wifelet, whence came all of this learning ���is Gurgah the deep well from which vou draw?" She resumed, speaking.slowly. "Adonai, TUG-OF-WAE CHAMPIONS. Western Ontario Furnishes the Brawny World. Beaters. In1 the ���rich and important agricultural county, of Oxford, iu western Ontario, which, by the way,'is the political home of sir Oliver Mowat, premier of that province, there is a very large Scotch element, men of great strength, physically and mentally, whose prowess in many ways is coincident with the history oi" Upper Canada. West Zorr.'i, a Scotch township in Oxford, turns out (he best specimens of brawny tind muscular manhood in the country. Five of these strong men have been banded together for some years as "The Zorr.i Tug-of-war Team," and they now hold the championship of America, having won it in the international competition held in Chicago in August. The team is composed of William JI. Mmiro. who is six feet one inch in height and weighs IH8 pounds: Alexander Chirk, who is six feel and two inches and weighs _0(i pounds; Ira Iluininason, who also stands six feet tincl two inches, aud weighs IU!) pounds; Robert iMcLeod, who is six. feel two tind one quarter inches tall and weighs 197 pounds; and Robert Mcintosh, the sturdy "anchor," who is six feet and an inch in height and tips the beam til 215 pounds. The team pulls everything its own way, and acknowledges no peer in the world. By the way, it is quite as invincible tis the Little Premier. When captain Sutherland tind his' victorious quintette returned from Chicago with the handsome cup emblematic of the American championship they wero met til'the Ingersoll depot with a band of music and escorted to a, leading hotel, where a banquet and a. cord hi L welcome awaited them.

Isn't this the loveliest fete imaginable':'" I was duly presented to .Miss Howe. To make a. long story short. I callei her, fell in love with her, proposed to, married her. Her lather was tin Knglishmai of one of the middle districts; her mother, some said, was a Spaniard, others said she was an I talian, and some whispered that she was an Indian Heguni. Little cared I what the mother was, I loved her ;is my very soul. The first month of my married life was passed iu unalloyed happiness. All the hours were golden hours. The paradise lost to old lather Adam seemed restored to nie. But by and by a cloud no bigger than a man's hand tippeared on the horizon. I was cognizant of a change in Naida,. She was alternately very quiet aud very restless. She was nervous and out of trim. She would start iind shiver when the clock chimed.or murmur blankly and shudder if a door slammed. "What is it, Naida?" I asked one day. "Vou ii re not yourself. What is the mat- tor with you?" She glanced wearily at me. "I hardly know. I am afraid I tun ti little homesick. I think I want ('urgah." " Who is (.iurgah '���" ".My ayah." li. Why didu t ������ Vou shall have Ourga you speak of her before?" The next day I found a small, dark woman in a snowy garment, with a grave countenance enlivened by a nose-ring and ear-plates, squatting on the Moor beside Naidu's hammock. Jt was the ayah. clump of caliidiuins, sprang the graceful form of an aniinal.--.lt streaked ..across the ground in sinuous track; the moon showed its tawny, yellow hide spotted brown. It was tt- chotah. Alarmed for the boy, I jumped through the window, and, -'catching him by the shoulder, dragged him to. his feet. Hi.s teeth chattered and his dark face grew livid. "The chetah. sahib! That chetah has been running about the bungalow nearly all week. Gurgah say chetah hurt nobody: bull no trust him." 1 sent immediately for the men-servants of the establishment, tind set them as guard over the bungalow. Then I went to seek Naida. I called her name softly, not wishing to alarm her, but no answer came to my tender call. 1 opened the door. A pale blue light burned in a silver sconce that- hung on the w.ill. Tho moonbeams fell in through the open window and mingled with the light of the lamp. A,faint white smoke hung over the further corner of the room. I looked at the couch; it was empty. I glanced about the room: noonc was there. Where were thoy���Naida iind her nurse? Could they be out on the lawn? Already I fancied the murderous teeth and talons of the chetah tearing the ��� . i delicate Ilesh of my darling; perhaps at i judge that moment he wtis sucking her life- blood. I rushed out of the bungalow, shouting her name, Naida, Naida, Naida! Followed by a linll'-do/.en natives, I hurried over the compound, but we saw neither wife nor ayah. Nearly frantic. I wtis returning to the house. In front of the bungalow I saw a white object: it was the nurse. "Whore is your missy?" I cried, grasping her arm. She rested her glistening eyes on my lace while she deliberately answered: "Missy iu the bungalow, in her own room." "The chetah. the chetah!" cried the men behind me. ������Where?" I called, excitedly. "There, on lawn, close by bungalow." A wild yell tind the scream. " Ho jumped iu missy window; he jump in missy window." In tin instant 1 wtis at Niiida's door. I flung it open. No chetah waste In; scon: but on the foot of the couch sal my wife, gasping breathlessly aiidstariiig wildly about her. "Darling." I cried, "where have you been? Are vou hurt? Where is the dissolveth and resunieth: in His are the dual powers of all things, monad has the potency of twain, is Twain in'One." "What is till this rigmarole?" bursting into a merry laugh. J-Ier eyes filled with tears. ��� "Vou should not ridicule nie. John,' said. I did not want to hurt her feelings, so I quickly replied: "You are too much for nie, little woman. I am a sad ignoramus, and you cover me am not up to any Hands l-vory , tis Cod I cried. she Were Run on a Strictly Gold Basis.

Come, Ictus go tind see what the cook has provided." The following week was one. of tumult tmd commotion. The entire station was aroused. A chetah was making the rounds of the compounds, and more than one person wtis terrified by the sight of the tawny beast creeping stealthily about their, promises. ..Major Dent surprised it asieep in the forks of a' toddy tree back of the hospital, but before he could secure a weapon the animal managed to.escape. Naughty children required no fictitious bugbear to terrify them into good behavior now: the very mime of this notorious visitor subdued the little culprits to prompt obedience and abject penitence. At night till bungalows were closed. .Recollecting Naida's'terror the night of the chetah's visit to us, I forbade the subject mentioned in her presence. I provided weapons for the men-servants and kept a const.'intguard on the bungalow. Late one night, as I was returning from ti visit to ti sick man at the hospital. I descried lights flitting around in my coin- pound. Kxcited shouts issued from the shrubbery and the loud yelping of hounds lillod the'tiir. (.!urgah sprang to meet me as I leaped from the gharry. "Oh. sahib," she cried, grasping my in mad eagerness, "the chetah is out! off the men! They will kill it!" ������Thfit's what I want them to do." turned, hastily, breaking from her grasp. I ran hurriedly in the direction of the melee, closely followed by ("urgah. "Where is it. Shinasawing?" I called. "In the pepul copse, sahib." There was a simultaneous crack of a dozen rifles aud a loud, wild wail from the ayah. All rushed forward to the thicket. With a cry of consternation the men fell back.

They afterward went over to New Denver to decide as to the final route through the townsite. It is reported that they have decided to build through New, Denver, the depot to bo near tho center of the McGillivray addition. A postoftice has been opened at Three Korks, with li. H. Pitts as postmaster. The postoftice at ��� Balfour; will be discontinued, owing to the removal of the postmaster, C. W. Husk, to Victoria for the winter. Tiie steamer Kootenay is reported disabled, and that too when there is an immense amount of freight at Revelstoke awaiting shipment south. There are over twenty cars of miscellaneous freight at Revelstoke for points on Kootenay lake, besides 1S0O tons of rails for the Nakusp & Slocan railway. Mrs. Hugh Madden of Ivakusp has re- tured from a visit to relatives in the province of Quebec, and "llughie" now dandles his first born as if he never did anything else in his lifetime. Among the tourists passing through Nelson this week was captain F. P. Armstrong of (jolden. No man in Kast Kootenay is better entitled to a newspaper paragraph, for he has been untiring in his oH'orts to develop the transportation interests of Kast Kootenay. lie is now manager of a steamboat and tramway line between Uolden and the upper waters of Kootenay river. Captain Armstrong was acconi])anicd by Mr. Gamble, the engineer in charge of improvements in harbors and rivers'in British Couimbia. They came in by way of Bonner's Kerry and went out by the way of Revelstoke. The teamsters who haul supplies from Nelson to the construction camps report the tracklayers on the Nelson & Fort tiheppard fen miles this side of the cross ng of the North Fork of Salmon river, or about twenty-live miles from Nelson. Much complaint is heard from the men who had station work on the Nelson & Fort Sheppard rail way because of the delay in giving estimates of tlieir work. Some of them finished up their work seven weeks ago, yet they cannot get the engineer in charge to give them tlieir estimates. This certainly is not fair -treatment. The weather was so rough on Kootenay lake on Wednesday that the steamer Ainsworth had to put back to Kaslo. At Nelson, the weather was as serene as a May day in Italy. Alderman Adam McKay of Kaslo was in Nelson on Monday and Tuesday in search of pointers as to how waterworks should be built. The election for mayor ���. at Kaslo resulted in twenty-six votes being polled for R. F. Green and twenty-two for G. T. Kane. The lirst meeting of the board of aldermen will be held on Saturday, when, it is reported, alderman Devlin will resign, so that Mr. Kane can be elected to the board. "Tom" has long been noted for his generosity in giving away things lie had no use for. W. H. Brandon of New Denver is in Nelson. He came by way of Kaslo. and says the road is in bad condition, There is good sleighing on Toad mountain, the snow being eighteen inches deep. The party who took a lantern, having "A. II." engraved on a copper plate on its side, from the fire hall the night of the (lance, will please return it to the International hotel, and be thanked. R. ft. Dougan, who is opening up what he believes to be the richest piece of ground in the province, was in Nelson on Monday. The ground is on Forty- nine creek. Several thousand dollars will be expended this winter in milking preparations for hydratilicing in the spring.

Nelson has another bank, the third.

A number of New Denver men will apply at the next session of I lie legislature for a charter for a telephone company. Don't do it. boys: for there's nothing in it. If there was tho lCootcnay Lake Telephone Company, whose charter covers all southern Kootenay, would ere this have had lines in operation in Slocan district. Poking Pun at a Town. Everyone in this section of British Columbia knows that Pilot Bay is readily reached by boat, as much so as any town on Kootenay lake; but a tourist correspondent of the Spokane .Review would have it located in an out-of-the-way, inaccessible spot, and its residents compelled to rely on the genius of one man to help them in all their difficulties. The tourist correspondent says: "Three restful, Hying days we passed beneath the hospitable home-roof of Mr. and Mrs. James I). Marsdon at Pilot Bay on Kootenay lake. Mr. Marsden is manager of the Galena Trailing Company, oporatingat Pilot Bay and Three Porks. Although a young mail lie has had a wide tind varied experience in border business. FUf a long while lie was stationed ;it Barkerville in the Cariboo mines, 'i(X) miles from a railroad, aud so far to the north that the mercury often marks 50 and 00 degrees below zero.

The fireman's hall at Nelson was first opened oil Tuesday night Avith a ball, the third" given by Deluge 1 look' & Ladder Company,- No. 1, of the Nelson fire department. The hall was tastefully decorated with flags, bunting, and fire-lighting 'apparatus. The attendance was quite large, and the event '.passed 'off. without a mishap or an incident to be regretted.

Be- tweet 12 and I a supper was served at the Nelson house. Dancing was kept up till 3 o'clock. That the ball was a, success is due, in a great nieasue. to those who attended from Kaslo; and if tlie lire department of that city ever gives a ball, every member ofthe fire department-of Nelson will attend, and, more.'will take along a partner who will dance. Fifty- six tickets were sold, and when all the expenses are paid, the company will be ahead about $0(1 Got the Plaster on the "Wrong- Man. A few nights ago a, well-known Nelson man. who sometimes imbibes too freely of Irish whisky, found his way to a room ina west-side hotel. Shortly after arriving he became very sick, and the landlady, 'hearing his niotins. arose and tried to alleviate his sufferings. Guessing aright the complaint, she left the room'to prepare a mustard plaster, but while she was gone the sick man goL'up'auci left the hotel for his own apartments a block distant. The landlady returned with the plaster, and entering as she supposed the same room applied the plaster to the occupant of the bed. Allowing the plaster to remain on the usual time, she removed it, and retired to her own room. The next morning the occupant of that bed was at a loss to understand why he carried around with him a blister as largo as an old-fashioned Scotch bannock'. The man I'or whom the plaster was intended awoke next morning fooling none the worse for his night's carousal.
